Tie between Yugi VS Atem and Yugi/Atem VS Pegasus

[@heroboygamebase2286]

Yugi vs Atem is always one of my favorite duels of the series. And one of the emotional.

[@devingiles6597]

Yugi vs. Mai Valentine

[@O-DogKubrick]

Yugi against Vivian Wong, Mai Valentine, Johnny Steps, and Rebecca Hawkins. Arkana? I’d say you kicked his balls thanks to your dark magician girl.

[@SSG_Gogeta]

Yugi and Kaiba vs Dartz is such an underrated duel and one of my favorites.

[@yourenotthatguy7051]

Yeesssss

[@rileyanthony]

Yes it’s very underrated but also the dule it self doesn’t make much sense in terms of the irl card game.

[@wolfshirtawoo]

Honestly it was fine until the legendary warriors came out. The attack bouncing back and forth until infinity +1 was so crappy and forced just to beat the villain. The best duel in that entire arc was the 2nd Rafael match on the roof.

[@jackcarraway4707]

Waking the Dragons is by far the single most batshit crazy arc in the original series.

[@avengingangel168]

​@@yourenotthatguy7051 Yess so true

[@TripleDS]

"He wins because he's Yugi" is the most accurate statement ever

[@MrTackyDouglas]

He has the thickest plot armour ever seen 😂

[@SamuelReese-ku9mw]

Facts if ever any!

[@waltdeezy11]

​@@MrTackyDouglas for real. If you really think about it, during the battle city semi finals, had kaiba summoned Obelisk with monster reborn at the end instead on blue eyes he would had won. Yugi wouldn't of had anything to counter it cause his final 3 cards were only meant to counter ultimate dragon

[@veronicapiccinini7956]

Yami Yugi VS Raphael (1 round) was so iconic. I don’t care if it was a filler arc, that duel has everything I wanted, character development born from a tragic mistake (and by tragic, I mean like a Greek Tragedy, with the hero making a fatal mistake due to his flaws). Plus Raphael has the honor to be the first one who beat him fair and square.

[@Mustafa_9628]

Yugi vs Seto Kaiba Battle City Watching Slypher the Sky Dragon & Obelisk The Tormentor going Head to Head was truly one of the most exciting Duels of the Series. 🧏🏿‍♂️🐉

[@blazebane9995]

The ending of it was really satisfying for me, they each choose 3 cards for their deck then go all out, Yugi tries to work out what cards Seto will choose and doesn't quite get it right but still manages to pull out the win. Tense and amazing.

[@TheHManShow]

For me, Atem vs Raphael the first encounter will always be the best Yugioh Duel!! Raphael did what really no other villain has done in the series, he not only turned Atem evil but broke him and unlike Pegasus and Kaiba who cheated to win, he actually beat him with his skill!!

[@Little_Yu-Gi]

The fact that this narrator keeps calling the Pharaoh ‘Atom’ proves that he’s just reading from a script and doesn’t truly believe in the heart of the cards…

[@HeartbeatCN]

It's an accent thing.

[@chefmatthewlafferty]

Besides, Atem is the Pharaoh's birth name.

[@paulellington1505]

I love how dark the stipulations were for duels in the manga. Those shadow games were serious and manga Yami Yugi was cold blooded.

[@RioluLucario1994]

Mako being ahead of Gansley and the first Rafael duel is a hot take. Yugi losing is one of the most memorable moments in the series, while Gansley was intelligent enough to realize how much card advantage matters

[@onur6145]

Yugi vs Atem at the finale will always be my favorite duel in the anime. It was such a war of wits but also emotional.

[@pixierain8722]

@onur6145 I couldn't agree more. I cry everytime

[@ElDraco5]

The first Rafael Yugi duel is my personal favorite

[@ornellafacchinetti3819]

Also Mine❤

[@aliciao5002]

The four-way duel is one of my favorites, and it’s number 32 😅

[@billyo3998]

How is the first yugi vs Rafael duel #28….

[@maytalacedo2942]

Rafael vs yugi round 1 has to be the best and unexpected both fans from the manga and anime watchers did not see this coming and it has to be one of the best things in season 4.

[@andysheart2X]

The ending of Noah vs. Yugi duel was so crazy when he tried to take over his body

[@frozenfalcon253]

Back when you had to wait for the new episode to come out the next Saturday morning, the week leading up to that Yugi vs Seto in the battle city tournament, was torture.

[@isaacjohnson3384]

Kaiba vs Yugi in the semi finals of the battle city tournament yugi vs Mark in the battle city finals and yugi vs Joey at the dullest kingdom are just a few of my favourites because they go back and forth but really you can’t go wrong with any of his duels because he truly is the king of games ( growing up I loved YUGIOH as a kid it was definitely a staple show of my childhood )

[@heroboygamebase2286]

Yugi vs Atem is always one of my favorite duels of the series. And one of the emotional.

[@jameskingman1227]

For me it’s the best of the series. I love it after the God cards are gone, they are just so evenly matched, every play is done perfectly.

[@javislugo6835]

As a kid i was hypes asf seeing his ritual magician. Also, idc what anyone says i see waking the dragon arc as canon.

[@ericbreese3071]

Also, you forgot the “first tag team” with Kaiba vs the 2 rare hunters (although that was mostly Kaiba squashing them with Obelisk and his dragons)

[@artsyafroqueen]

The Ceremonial Duel will always be number 1 to me because I remember being in tears watching that. Of course the one where Atem loses to Raphael and Yugi pushes him out of the circle had me stressed.

[@285emoney]

Atems first duel against Rafael is the greatest duel his only real loss except to Yugi to end the series

[@285emoney]

And atem never really beat Rafael he basically forfeited the second duel to save his monsters he could of left some in the graveyard so he could wipe out yugi but chose not to

[@whocaresssssss2974]

Didn't even watch the video yet but semifinals Yugi vs Kaiba will be my all time favorite duel in this series.C'mon bro,2 egyption god cards against each other,Dark Magician vs Blue eyes,Even Blue eyes Ultimate appeared and Yugi summoned the dragon slayer Dark Paladin for the first time.Bunch of great spell and treps used.Overall,we saw great monsters and very hype battle in that duel.

[@SuperKiobi13]

totally agree with the number one if anything the last duel with marik felt anticlamatic after such an epic duel.

[@rickyrosay33977]

Even to this day I still say JOEY SHOULD'VE WON DAMN IT

Epic list for an epic show. The situations were so varied with so many characters partaking (unlike GX in which Jaden was involved in 80% of the duels, iirc I never got around to watching the other series.

[@noiisserpmii]

This was my childhood. I remember waiting til after high school to watch the entire series online. As a kid all i remember was leading up to Battle City matchups of Joey vs Marik. Never knew about Noah or Dartz etc. Just wish the sub was done in english so it wasnt a kid verison. The one we watched was basically like a DBZ Kai.

[@familyoftacticaldroids309]

While I wish Yami Marik or Marik had won (hey, I have bias!), I really loved those duels. But tbh I also love the Yugi vs Pegasus final duel, because yo, that Toon Summoned Skull summon was so good. :P I crack up every time it comes on and makes those cartoony noises!

[@kingspeshalist2639]

I literally shed a tear along with Yugi when he finished Joey off in that battle. They pulled at the heart strings in this one. Also.... the first tag team duel with Joey & Yugi teaming up in that cave is so underrated. It showed how far Joey had come as a duelist and how close he and Yugi were as friends.They battled like they were reading each other's minds.

[@pixierain8722]

Omg me too. Like everytime. The very last duel yu vs atem gets me even more. I cry like a little bitch.

#21 Every hero should have a dark side!!! 18:22 Honestly, I think being trapped in a dimension of dark nothingness is even more sinister than getting your ankles sliced off... #5 1 of my favorites!!!

[@BmanTheChamp]

One thing I noticed after a few rewatches is almost every time Yugi duels his friends spend half the time doubting whether or not he can pull off the win.

[@GTAnativeInXboxAndPlayStation]

Who else still has their Yu-Gi-Oh deck? I do

[@familyoftacticaldroids309]

I had a few decks, tbh. But yeah, I've still got my cards. Wonder where my Egyptian Gods went though...I'm sure they're here somewhere, but idk where. I was not an organized packer, LOL. And moving didn't help.

[@paoerfulone1089]

[@Jadeleev]

I literally got drunk and played “step up” from the movie over and over again Last night . God help me 😭😭😭😩

[@joshualowe959]

5:57 Yugi vs Exodia Rare Hunter I personally think that Kaiba should have been the one to duel the Exodia Rare Hunter. Kaiba had received Obelisk the Tormentor from Ishizu, who said that Obelisks power along with the other two Egyptian Gods Slifer the Sky Dragon & The Winged Dragon of Ra, surpassed Exodia. Kaiba did test Obelisks power against the power of Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon controlled by a dueling computer & used Obelisks ability Soul Energy Max to destroy the fusion monster & defeat the computer, but Kaiba should have also tested Obelisk against Exodia to confirm if Obelisk's power was greater than Exodia's.

[@Thunder93ita]

This is scary. I litterally just started rewatching Yu Gi Oh 3 days ago and now i see WatchMojo just dropped a Yu Gi Oh video 😂

ITS ATEM NOT ADAM

[@hisisters8191]

he has an accent he is saying Atem but it sounds like adam

[@darkhalf75]

Having played many customisable card battle games, even if you have the ultimate win card in your deck, doesn't mean it will come out when you need it, nor will you have the mana/points to utilise it, or your opponent might play a card that forces you to discard/send it to the graveyard

[@bennyaverygardner9681]

[@godemperorofmankind3.091]

no one. yugi needed massive luck and plot armor

[@armasplaygrounds6355]

In the Japanese they both had infinite and both were destroyed it's just that the knight resummoned its 3 parts after being destroyed.

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

@@13soulsundone96^Right, that’s how it really happened. English dub made a big error and just made it sound more BS than it already was. The combo that Yami pulled off to give his knights “infinite” ATK is laughable. Regardless, it’s the best duel ever IMO.

Yugi vs malik for the last time was the goat Also the one against Pegasus bc i dont know how he managed to beat the creator of the game to this day

[@d.n.tranger1457]

[@kwylde1978]

In terms of tension and action I would rank both duels versus rafael and the semi final against Kaiba in the number 1 spot in my humble opinion. I couldn't 'dare' taking my eye of the screen for even a few seconds, not many anime episodes can do that. Plus almost every cliffhanger was even better than the last one
