i feel like i didn't actually give any good reasoning for why i hate the shadowriders and in retrospect all i did was call them lame and stupid which is pretty embarrassing as someone who is suppose to analysis and critique things even if this is a dumb joke video so here are some further thought out reasons why i hate them and think they are weaker then those who came before them in DM. Right off the bat it feels like they're retreding old ground, shadow riders are GX's version of the rare hunters which weren't exactly all that memorable to begin with outside of Arkana imo. I did touch on it in the video but other than camula all their motivations are forgettable at best to dumb when you think this is their reason for destroying the world. I also mentioned it in the video but they are far weaker as villians compared to the DOMA in season 4 too. All of doma were driven by some sort of grief and tragedy in their lives. Raf lost his family on the cruise, Alister lost his brother in the war funded by former kaiba corp, valon's home the church was burned down and is alluded to the nun who took care of him was killed inside, mai suffered from PTSD from dueling marik and being sent to the shadow realm. Wrex and weevil are the weakest of the group but they feel alienated and lost their status after losing in duelist kingdom. So now lets look at the shadow riders and their motivations for ending the world Nightshroud (atticus) - has none he was brain washed in the basement camula - talked about in the video the only good one tania - wants a husband so she joins and evil orginization Don Zaloog - he and the other DS are duel spirits brought to life to do this job which could have been interesting if done anything with the fact they weren't of this world and brought into it and want to stay or something literally anything abidos - doesn't even know how to duel and is a spoiled brat, you're telling me he didn't duel anyone before going to the island to get the spirit keys would have worked far better as a filler episode with magic that allowed jaden to fight him and reveal he is a phony similar to king in opm titan - he is now what he was pretending to be, i found charm in his antics in the first apperance like i said in the video with him being basically a wrestler selling a bit but now that his powers are real that charm goes away leaving me with nothing to find enjoyable about him kagemura - i slightly touched on in the video but in his case he is both hyped up as the big bad but also given nothing to be feared about. we are told he is evil but not really shown other then him taunting shepard. He is like dio in how he is hyped up but instead of showing all the shadow dio scenes we are just told about how evil and mysterious he is i think that's it for now i will add more if i think of anything else to add to this

[@GamerGhostRider]

Man it's great to watch these again.

[@killerfox9674]

That's ok I still loved the vid

[@Arcaea_]

That’s okay. Season 1 was pretty dumb in my opinion but at least it only looks better from here. I think you did a pretty good job at describing them, even in the video. Aside from Camula, all of the other shadow riders felt dumb & awkward & nowhere close to being worthy of called “antagonists.” Will you do Season 4? As I know you’re seemingly doing Dub, but that’s entirely cut out of the show. And also a LOT in 5Ds too.

I was not a big fan of his fall from grace at first. But his outfit was SO BADASS and SEXY! No homo. It was just an absolutely amazing makeover of his character both internally and externally. The Cyber Dark Dragon was awesome too! Even playing off the idea of “The Underworld” with getting 100 points for each monster in the grave and sapping the power of a dragon in the Graveyard to boost its power. They thought that out really well for the already best character in the series. Heck, he’s my favorite male protagonist in the Yugioh franchise for a reason, while he was the “Seto Kaiba of GX” he turned it into a class of his own if you ask me.

[@runningoncylinders3829]

Cyberdark Dragon always looked kinda decrepit and to me, but Chimeratech Overdragon was so hype for me! Chimeratech felt like the more natural evolution of Zane's Cyber Style rather than a replacement. It was just as destructive, and I could tell he was serious when he threw everything into it for a big OTK. Now that there are a few more of those in the game I'm at least glad they've gotten some tough contenders.

One of my favorite parts about GX was the fact that Kaibas pettiness is on full display with how the school operates. Kaiba had Obelisk, so Obelisk students are treated like absolute royalty. Yugi had Slifer, so Slifer students are treated like absolute dogshit. Which just leaves Ra students in the middle by default, eventhough Ra is considered in the anime to be the best god card of the three. But Kaiba has to put himself at the top, and Yugi at the bottom. So Ra students are left in the middle and while not as good as Obelisk students, are seen as far superior to Slifer students. And while they're not treated as absolute royalty, they're for the most part still treated with respect.

[@stefanradebach2889]

I won't lie when i say that it is interesting to see how despite being good person at heart who will do the right thing Kaiba still suffer from having a major ego when compared to Yugi and designed the school system the way it is so he can feel good about himself no matter how much of a flawed and problematic system it is and what feels disappointing is how this was never explored in the show like how Kagemaru wanted to create a duel academy where everyone learns to duel but also have fun dueling and being treated fairly regardless of their skill but had to watch as Kaiba, the one played a major part in it's creation, ended up turning it into an outlet for his ego which depressed and embittered him enough to plan the destruction of Duel Academia as well as Kaiba Corporation with one of the Shadow Riders being a former Slifer student who was treated poorly due to his rank and expelled by being falsely framed for something he didn't do by a terrible Obelisk Blue teacher similar to Crowler but maybe even worse who the Slifer student took revenge on after joining Kagemaru and becoming his right hand man.

[@runenorderhaug7646]

To be fair though even if yugi ran the school it would probabily be the same just with Ra as the last house because it would be the order he obtained thecards...

[@pillbobaggins2766]

meanwhile Ra is the King of the Gods, so it's a massive snub to the ancient Egyptian gods

[@theendersmirk5851]

Also we get to see that Kaiba has situated his office somewhere near the center of the sun considering how bright the windows are in the scenes we see of said office.

[@pickyphysicsstudent201]

Cards which clear the field are too OP, for GX. Every boss monster is pretty much a huge beater with shitty battle orientated effects. Any S/T removal would decimate every duelist. There is no comeback ability for Jaden, once he looses his main fusion of the turn - other than top decking bubbleman, with no cards and then playing pot of greed.

[@minecraftWithDanielD]

In regards to the conversation starting at 10:50 (because apparently no one is talking about it), the reason why the aspect ratio changes is because of what’s called “overscan”, which was common in tv’s back in the day. See, when the show was been produced, they expected that all viewers were tuning in via a 4:3 CRT, which has a tendency to slightly cut off the borders of TV shows, so they weren’t as strict on those inaccuracies because no one would ever see them. What’s likely happened for the scene in question is that the animators/editors have overlaid a new visual, and once the other is no longer visible underneath, or flat out not needed, they clear it away, but because the two visuals don’t hold the same aspect ratio, it causes that effect, which again, viewers would never see on their tv. And even then, it’s possible the networks somewhat cropped what they were given before broadcasting, and probably still do that to this day, hence why we don’t see them when streaming or watching tv channels, and the unmodified version is what goes onto their catchup services. I’m assuming you’ve taken your visual from the offical KZbin channel, which are probably raw exports, either from back on the day, or re-rendered for the modern viewing platform. With how cleanly most of the episodes end, skipping the credits, I’m sure they probably have done a re-render.

[@helltaker6865]

There is a great line in the dub episode with Chumley's dad, where him and Banner are drinking """hot sauce""", and Chumley's dad finishes his glass of the """sauce""" and then he announces that 'nature calls' and leaves the room - with the change to Hot Sauce, it comes across as if he is announcing he is about to have violent diarrhea, as I cannot imagine anyone drinking hot sauce in such a way and not having an extremely upset stomach.

10:22 while yes bastion does play well and how he plays while playing towards the opponents weaknesses is smart it can't always be done since unlike real life, where people in tournaments will usually play meta decks, and you can add cards to counter them that's not really possible in the anime nor manga(all the time) Since usually a new rival appears, and they never play staple cards, characters just have a deck and they are flexible. Bastion could only make a deck to counter his opponents if they were from duel academy. Otherwise he would just have his six elemental deck and decides just before the duel or if he has knowledge of the element, whether because he saw the duel or he knows through some other way like in his duel with chazz, chazz commented something about "charing his deck with his Flames of malice" so he chose the water deck to counter his fire attribute monsters

Funnily enough, it actually gives credence to the "Banner rigged the duels" dub edit. Only way his deck could work as well as it did was if it was stacked, or had been shuffled _juuuuust_ right... like by a rigged duel disk shuffler, maybe? Banner probably messed with the shuffling subroutine.

[@gamechanger8908]

According to the anime Jaden has a similar ability to Atem, in which he can pull certain cards he needs. And topdecking is a skill duelist practice at duel academy. Which is why Jaden doesn't get bricked by his Neo Spacians when he tries to pull out his hard hitting elemental hero fusions.

I know what Zane was trying to say with Power Bond. He means that even if you know what it does, sometimes a card won't give you the best benefits until you play it at the right time. Power Bond is the card to use when there's no real worry and you know you're gonna win in a single strike, but you always gotta be weary of a face down card on the field, because anything that stops an attack will make the user take the penalty. Using a card vs playing a card. Playing it randomly vs playing it at the right moment

Maybe Jaden was confused about Blue Eyes cards because there’s only 4 BEWD in existence. So let’s say this : they buy a booster pack , they pull a BEWD support card. Why would anyone beside Kaiba use them? There’s no one else in the world that can use them. 3 cards so incredibly rare that you’ve never seen in action, owned by the millionaire and second best duelist. Now, let’s say that they do teach it in duel academy (probably the best place to learn about this stuff) These kids slept 3/4 of the class and only wake up for lunch, it’s sort of reasonable that they’ve never even heard anything about BEWD

I dunno if anyone ever explained this, but at 11:05 that's called video overscan. there's details in broadcast television sets(at the time, and mostly CRTs) that are lost due to specific manufacturers lacking a standard for where the outermost pixels of an image are placed on the screen. So when exporting work you tend to create just beyond the maximum dimensions of the canvas so it covers all your bases on every set. When you see that little bit extra amount it's because no television set would've been able to see that ultra-bright flicker, so that artifact was left in(it's more important to get the look right on the image the viewer actually sees).
