The battle city tournament saga was the worst canon arc in Yugioh duel monsters. And that's not an opinion, it's a fact.
It introduced Kaiba's silly silver jacket. It compared Joey to Red eyes black dragon rather than Flame swordsman. Tea and Tristan where useless. It introduced the "I sacrifice a monster to summon a monster that has nothing to do with it" feature. Too many dudes got bound; Joey and Mokuba had their arms bound to their torso, Arkana was either straitjacketed or chained iirc, and Celtic guardian got a full treatment. Sure Yugi imagined Tea bound, but she doesn't wear lipstick.
And even if you could forgive all of that, it introduced the Dark magician girl. Good luck finding fetish art of any other female duel monster unless it's that bus girl.
>It introduced the "I sacrifice a monster to summon a monster that has nothing to do with it" feature.
Wasn't that because it tried to stay closer to actual card game rules?
Dylan Rivera
Yugioh is shit.
Chase Martinez
you hate it because someone beat you in it and got out of hell right Satan?
Nicholas Torres
sure.
Brayden Long
duelist kingdom is the worst
Nathaniel Foster
dmg did nothing wrong
Angel Reed
The card game came after.
Chase Diaz
>Tea and Tristan were useless
Well, what else is new?
Easton Gomez
>Too many dudes got bound; Joey and Mokuba had their arms bound to their torso, Arkana was either straitjacketed or chained iirc, and Celtic guardian got a full treatment.
Surprised by all this when Yugi wears a fucking choker.
Landon Roberts
CUTE.
Parker Sullivan
Why is she so perfect?
Jason Sanders
Fucking wrong. The very first Arc, Duelist Kingdom, was trash that needed to be burned.
Easton Stewart
> Joey > Tea > Tristan Jesus Christ, how horrifying.
Ryder Roberts
GX is infinity times better than DM and rest of the spinoffs including the movies and mangas
David Wright
nothing can be worse than cardgames on motorcycles
Julian Hernandez
actually that's the best series
Daniel Sullivan
3/10.
Jeremiah Martin
>Shitting on DMG. You gay son?
Lucas Peterson
>best
Connor Smith
5D's had its flaws, but Zexal and Arc-V are far, far worse.
David Martin
It's look like you have watched the dub so I'm not surprised.
Battle city was actually pretty good and more enjoyable than duelist kingdom.
Joey fainting right before he beat Marik was a bigger asspull than ANYTHING in Duelist Kingdom. I mean, at least you can make the argument that it was cool or amusing to see the Blue Eyes Ultimate regrow a new head.
Joey vs. Marik was just FUCK IT PLOT ARMOR.
Evan Butler
>battle city >posts a picture where they are wearing S4 attire
THIS is Battle City clothing.
Matthew Stewart
No, Battle City was alright for the most part, aside from everything having to do with Noah. Duelist Kingdom is so hilariously bad because of how wrong it is. Then again, the original series didn't even try to to have any kind of accuracy. GX started that.
Liam Morales
>Fucking Mai of all characters was about to beat Marik before getting saved by plot armor >Joey was about to beat Marik before getting saved by plot armor Marik is such a fucking laughable excuse of a villain that it really does make you think how anyone feared his dumb ass.
Owen Green
Normal Marik was a lot more credible. Remember how he almost killed Joey and Yugi, while still being somewhat capable of dueling?
Adrian Russell
>As a kid, I never knew that being sent to the Shadow Realm was actually just censorship for a character dying
Angel Peterson
If the Shadow Realm didn't exist, where did all the purple come from during various duels with various villians?
The real issue is that 4Kids took it and ran with it. Like the "dark energy disks"
Grayson Ward
You're forgiven for that since it was pretty easy to write it in around the canon when there is stuff like Pegasus being able to take souls through a TV, and whatever Yami Marik's punishment games were if it wasn't shadow realm banishment.
Kevin Nelson
I mean, it did, but by this point the card game had been a thing for a while so this was where the rules changed to match the game instead of being nonsense.
Carson Hill
>joey fainting >mai stealing winged dragon of rah but can't read it >arc being split and the noah filler arc
reeeee don't remind me
Jack Gutierrez
1. The jacket is white not silver.
2. It's sexy as hell.
Fuck you OP.
Carter Cox
>everything having to do with Noah
Which is completely inconsequential filler anyway.
Eli Sanders
>watching a 22 minute long commercial
Nathan Price
>hating on a Kaiba filler arc that brought us Tristian robot monkey
I loved it because it was stupid like the rest of the show.
Asher Wright
>dub names
opinion discarded
Evan Gonzalez
at least the noah arc gave us some tea fanservice
Cooper Nelson
Oh man I am so sorry i didn't download the fansubs off of nyaa when I was ten.
Carson Thompson
I was also very sheltered
Carson Reyes
I think the shadow realm is ironically darker than death anyway. Why die when you can spend an eternity being bored, just because you lost a stupid card game?
Landon Cruz
Nah, power of friendship preventing Pegasus looking at Atem's hand is still bigger asspull.
Ryan Edwards
Gagagigo anime when?
Leo King
Right after the 150 episode Duel Terminal anime where most of the cast is killed every 50 episodes.
Carter Sanchez
>silly silver jacket Shit taste
Xavier Cook
Looks like somebody didn't actually watch the series.
Evan Torres
>implying card games on nazca lines is bad
Lucas Harris
>Ishizu will never sit on your face
Aaron Allen
holy fuck, ep74 was mainly just a long recap of previous episodes.
Andrew Howard
>Tea and Tristan where useless.
Like, outside of physical fights, Tristan is useless. Tea is just useless in general.
Riding Duels were actually pretty well executed in practice. 5Ds had problems but that wasn't it.
Normal Marik was much more of a threat. Yami Marik was the fucking goober
Daniel Evans
>It introduced Kaiba's silly silver jacket. But it also introduced the Blue eyes white jet the greatest thing to come from the series
But it had Duke Devlin though. DUKE DEVLIN. That guy and his Dungeon Dice Monsters game were so important to the arc. Youre talking out of the ass if you can't stop thinking of Duke whenever you watch Battle City again. That guy makes the arc a masterpiece of card game anime.
Eli Hall
>tfw Ishizu wants to sit on your face but you can't get hard unless she's wearing a dragon costume
Jackson Bailey
KUNAI WIT CHAIN
Jaxson Murphy
>Seto Kaiba >Caring about women No.
Carter Johnson
How autistic is Kaiba? and whats the most autistic thing he's ever done besides create a school for duelling and making his rival's most powerful card the worst ranked colour?
Justin Ward
building a portal to the afterlife to duel atem again
Grayson Powell
>caring about side characters lmao at this guy
>tfw Kaiba loses his own tournament >tfw he can never actually win no matter what
Zachary Bennett
shit I forgot he did that DSOD was a wild ride
Adam Carter
card game came after the manga...
Josiah Sanchez
Why is she so perfect?
Samuel Hill

HA NA SE
Adam Nelson
The weakest arc in OG Yugioh was and always will be Dungeon Dice Monsters.
Nathaniel Gonzalez
what the fuck
Gabriel Myers
Why is she so perfect?
Elijah Turner
My favorite was when in GX, Kaiba sent Jaden's fanmade contest cards into space because he wanted to show aliens how cool Duel Monsters is, but the drawings merged with space radiation and created the Neo-Spacians and Yubel.
Jack Rogers
...
Luke Fisher
Because she is kaiba's waifu.
Lincoln Cooper
because she's white
Nathaniel Bailey
I agree that DM canon arcs are shit, but after that we got DOMA and it was amazing.
Even Noah's arc was better than Battle City.
Tyler Jones
>The most contrarian hipster post on all of Sup Forums. I'm not gonna say Battle City was the best thing ever, but if you think DOMA and Virtual World were good arcs you're either full of shit or you haven't watched DM since the dub aired on saturday mornings.
Jordan Morris
>hating DOMA arc But it had Rafael, who's respect for his monsters was only succeed by his hatred for humanity, defeating Atem, who proved that when pushed into a corner would do anything to win
Gavin Howard
I watched all DM subbed months ago, this fillers arcs are great and have the best duels from DM, Legendary Dragons and The Seal of Orichalcos are more interesting than stupid 3 Tribute monsters and MUH PHARAOH REVENGE.
The only bad filler arc is the Zigfried one.
Matthew Brooks
>A filler character written by a hack who couldn't even get the basics of Atem and Yugi's characters right defeated Atem in a duel with 0 stakes because Atem broke character like crazy to prove said filler character's point about humanity, which was factually incorrect even from the character's point of view if he bothered to think for 5 seconds.
>The filler arcs have the best duels from DM. Paradox Brothers, Pegasus VS Kaiba, Jou vs Haga, and any duel where the words "MUGEN LOOP" are used are infinitely better than "I'm losing, better bullshit out a new one-card fusion!" and "My writer doesn't know my basic character traits lol" and "let's waste 20 episodes on literally nothing".
Anthony Nelson
KURISUTEENA?
Christopher Richardson
>Ishizu, even though you invited me privately to this museum at night, gave me a god card, and then got naked for me and begged for a good titfucking with my gigantic penis, I'm still going to ignore you becuase I need to beat the Pharaoh and paizuri doesn't make you better at Duel Monsters.
What did he mean by this?
Michael Morris
>Paizuri doesn't make you better at Duel Monsters I dunno seems pretty straightforward to me.
Angel Kelly
Is Kaiba MGTOW?
Kayden Perez
>A filler character written by a hack who couldn't even get the basics of Atem and Yugi's characters right defeated Atem in a duel with 0 stakes because Atem broke character like crazy to prove said filler character's point about humanity, which was factually incorrect even from the character's point of view if he bothered to think for 5 seconds.
Did you intentionally go out of your way to misinterpret everything?
F, apply yourself.
Angel Wright
She is cute
Oliver Garcia
in both the manga AND the show, Joey doesn't win without the use of gambling cards. He has more plot armor than Marik
Brody Carter
post your favorite silly cards
Nathan Wright
>Joey vs Bonz >Joey vs Weevil >Joey vs Mako >Joey vs Keith
Jaxson Williams
>It introduced Kaiba's silly silver jacket but that's a good thing > It compared Joey to Red eyes black dragon rather than Flame swordsman What does that even mean, he had an ace card and then got a better one. Where's the problem? > It compared Joey to Red eyes black dragon rather than Flame swordsman not really unique to nor did it start with this arc. They were non-contestants like in Duelist Kingdom > It compared Joey to Red eyes black dragon rather than Flame swordsman Better than the ruleset that allowed players to summon nukes with no restrictions, technically had no reliable win-con (direct attacks weren't a thing so players could just turtle up and draw into whatever they need if the opponent has advantage).
>Too many dudes got bound; Joey and Mokuba had their arms bound to their torso, Arkana was either straitjacketed or chained iirc, and Celtic guardian got a full treatment. Sure Yugi imagined Tea bound, but she doesn't wear lipstick. How is this a problem? >And even if you could forgive all of that, it introduced the Dark magician girl. Good luck finding fetish art of any other female duel monster unless it's that bus girl. Not DMG's fault she's in a league of her own.

I've had so many fucking copies of this but never the spell card to summon him.
Nathan Jones
yeah, but she's no queens double.

Camden King
Yugioh is a so bad its good anime
Brody Murphy
I literally only watch it becuase of Kaiba.
William Anderson
Didn't read but Gx is the best because it has Asuka on it, ARC-V is just as good.
