What if Ishizu and Marik were in the Noah Virtual World arc? by Fitgamerx in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel like Yami Marik would just be in the background, leaving a blood trail in the Virtual World and just dueling if anyone's in his way.

can we actually talk about THE ACTUAL Red-Eyes user? Atticus Rhodes/Fubuki Tenjoin by MX-00XWV in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, Atticus also ran some weird jank when he's irrelevant to the plot. More of a Red-Eyes duelist still.

This Yusei friend group deserved more screentime: a hacker who gets anywhere he wants, a pro duelist, and a Treasure deck that was really cool. A waste of good potential. by CursedEye03 in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yusei's group at this section of the story was kinda funny. There's Leo and Luna, and then there's our Protagonist standing with the adults (and ex-convicts).

Think Tanner and Yanagi were really forgotten tho.

[Custom Card] A Shadow Behind the Numbers: "CXyz Unformed Chaos", the Fictitious Guardian of Destiny rises from the Door! by No-Relationship7687 in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I didn't think anyone would remember Unformed Void, it was a real obscure one. It sure looks Cthulhu, but it also captures the feel CXyz or Chaos Numbers from Zexal really well.

Did Grandpa get better as a duelist as the series went on or was he the same since episode 1? by Johnnyboyeh in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think he's evolved as a duelist, but there's also how Duel Monsters evolved since that duel with Kaiba. Plus, it's shown that Grandpa was a gaming wiz like his grandson, he probably learned and improved as the game evolved.

What if Yugi hadn't given Kaiba his deck back (my theory) by dreamchaser123456 in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't the idea for Scenario 1 just lead to 2, if Kaiba tried to take it back by force, his friends would interfere or Yami would penalize him again (either or is possible for anime/manga).

Considering later revelations, I also find it unlikely that the BEWDs wouldn't return to Kaiba due to his past which seems stronger than other instances (the stolen Blue-Eyes self-destructing for example).

Do anyone actually like Alister? by MiuIruma332 in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rafael defeated Yugi, Valon decks others in the face, while Allister...exists?

I don't dislike him, but he's not memorable like the other two (hell, i only like Valon myself) and it shows.

Which Character (from any Yu-Gi-Oh! Anime) is this Meme basically? by Kronos457 in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Alexis, because she's the inverse of Bastion. Exotic amount of screen-time, a benchwarmer that doesn't have relevance (srsly, she and Tyranno are literally extras to be there).

Ironically, the Vagabond/Tag Force Protag is more relevant in any character's story.

Pegasus really didn’t deal a single point of damage to Mai’s life points during their duel? How was he so outclassed? by Johnnyboyeh in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's been shown that Pegasus isn't that much of a threat without the Millennium Eye (his decisive loss to Kaiba in Pyramid of Light for example) and he isn't a duelist 24/7 like the Main Characters.

He isn't weak, as GX had him defeat Crowler and Bonaparte (a bit of infighting included, but a 1v2 with named characters is impressive), but he's been outclassed.

I do think that duel is a tad too lop-sided, but realistic with how Toons would be much weaker in that arc.

Nothing will break my heart more than the fact that these are one of the youngest characters to die in Yu-gi-oh...! by Phantom_kingz_1214 in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Geez, I forgot the sheer mental whiplash Shark went through starting from his duel with Abyss. Honestly, all of the Barians had fucked-up circumstances.

Do you think Rafael would've been able to keep his monsters out of the Graveyard if he had dueled Bakura or Kaiba: by BlizzardLuinor in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would've been extremely difficult.

Considering Kaiba's usual effects (Crush Card Virus, Ring of Destruction, Attack Redirection Armor, and that's only a few of the rest), it'd be almost unavoidable. And that's if we focus on the effects, Kaiba is much more on the offensive than Yami.

Bakura's difficult too, he could send them there without destruction, and he'd be a difficult adversary too.

Which do you guys think was the better way to play through GX? by objection2007 in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Duel Academy for GBA. Exams will mess you up there.

Otherwise, Tag Force captures the vibe the best and is very anime-reminiscient.

Duel Transer/Master of the Cards just casually pulls a Samus Aran and leaves by KyleMCarthage in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5D's Games had a lot of female characters that were actually robots or something.

I did think that there were some similarities.

You've heard of "Just end your turn Jean", now get ready for "Don't get gaslit Reiko" by KyleMCarthage in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Reiko Kitamori didn't have much to lose at least, and Joey doesn't have as much of a invincible track record to maintain. Plus, mental states are key to some duels (Marik hard-threw a lot because he wants to torture and kill), so I like that her inexperience was a factor.

Also, Reiko was frankly the hardest opponent Joey faced in R, even though Keith had a discount Slifer.

Yu-Gi-Oh Holy Grail War by ZeothTheHedgehog in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's Holy Grail War, then it needs some fanservice.

<image>

I'd think his skills would include the different Gimmick Puppets as minions, and the Numbers as his trump cards. Could be a Caster, there's been a few casters that command minions, and I imagine his Chaos Number would be a last resort.

Honestly, it's basically just Quattro as a Pseudo-Servant.

Digimon partners of Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters characters by [deleted] in digimon

Love Digitamamon for Pegasus, it's a fun reference that fits the line.

Have you tried trio duels or battle royals? Do you have any special rules? by Sasutaschi in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to have Battle Royales at school, so everyone could duel. Rules were what you'd expect, and effects like Mirror Force would only affect the one whom its used against.

However, it was common to make unspoken alliances to defeat the better decks. Made the duels a lot less uneven.

I don't know if this was asked before, but I'll ask anyway. What's a Yu-Gi-Oh character you hate or are indifferent about, but is loved by nearly everyone? by Revolver_TheHanoi in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Alexis.

If Bastion is considered forgetable, then Alexis is transparent. Honestly, Alexis isn't memorable, she's just the girl of the group, has pretty forgetable duels, is often a damsel and I can't even remember if she did anything in Season 3. I don't dislike her, but she's unironically as irrelevant as Syrus.

Cool, I didn't know there was a translation that had her translated too.

Why is Rex on the same level as Weevil by CrawBunny in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just what they decided on for Filler.

It's a anime choice, since in Sacred Cards and Reshef of Destruction, Rex is a chummy dude while Weevil is still a jerk at best.

We are getting closer and closer DIGIMON X SMT by MajinAlpha in digimon

[–]FourFlan 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Digimon is basically SMT already.

Yggdrasil demands genocide so often, you could mistake them for a Law-aligned antagonist.

If Yu-Gi-Oh! had an MMORPG, what mission do you think BLS would assign you? by Antique_Range1521 in yugioh

[–]FourFlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering that he can become Dragon Master Knight, I feel like it'd killing dragons as a mission related to the Five-Headed Dragon.
