FORTUNE CUP || Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Complete Series Analysis

[@daviddjordjevic2889]

5Ds is so clearly Yugioh at its best it's not even close. Of every yugioh series we got, none other sticks as much with me and inspires me to both live better and express myself. It's so genuine that you can't help but respect everything it has to say. Even outside of yugioh, 5Ds is an amazing story told amazingly and a classic.

[@StardustNobody]

You cooked my good sir 👑

[@daviddjordjevic2889]

@@StardustNobody YOU COOKED. It's refreshing as hell getting serious literary analysis of something you wouldn't expect people to read into when it has all of the depth that it does.

[@StardustNobody]

@@daviddjordjevic2889 Thank YOU my good sir!! I hope you enjoy all the future parts!

[@daviddjordjevic2889]

Take your time with it, looking forward to all you've got to say.

[@sirius_raspberry]

I love how well you're able to express the core of what makes Yugioh as a series truly special

[@mujigant]

You're one of the very few Yu-Gi-Oh KZbinrs who has actually seen Yu-Gi-Oh and I love your content for it

[@StardustNobody]

Thank you

[@mrmeteor64]

What do you mean by this?

[@mujigant]

@@mrmeteor64 Most people have only seen 4KIDS's parody, and not the actual series.

[@mujigant]

@@StardustNobody No thank YOU and please keep up the good work 🙏 I hope to one day see analysis for the other series from you as I really enjoy your insight

[@mrmeteor64]

@@mujigant I knew you would be one of those people it’s not a parody it was censored because of the networks but I don’t think all of the themes of the show are lost if you are looking for it or can understand what was censored.

[@yuseifudo6075]

i feel like one of 5ds's strongest points is the voice acting and the OST, especially the sad ones, hopeless battle, sad end, lamentation, aki unrest and at the end of the battle are so emotional,adding to it the voice acting for Yusei. it makes every scene with those osts tear jerking

absolutely love what you do despite yugioh being very popular its rare to find videos talking about yugioh's story i think its a one of a kind story that you cant find anywhere else keep it up!

[@abigailaceves9230]

Welcome back. We hope to see more of you. Any plans?

[@StardustNobody]

Thank you so much!! Yes! Big plans coming in the future!

[@d-heroforte8037]

Sam, this was so well constructed. This honestly the most in depth analysis of an arc in, not just in Yugioh, but any anime I have personally seen. I felt like I had a bit of a preview based on our discussions when we were watching 5Ds, but you discussed things that I did not even consider. I have new found appreciation of the Fortune Cup and 5Ds in general. This analysis definitely comes from many watches and a true love for the series. Awesome video man! ❤

[@StardustNobody]

Thank you so much my brotha!! You and the boys have definitely been a help in all those watches and your support in general has been so immense! I'm so glad you enjoyed and I was able to elevate it so much for you!! Now that 10/10 on your Anilist won't just be because of my rule 🤣 So glad I have improved 5D's and the Fortune Cup for you, and thank you for all the compliments. I'm glad my immense love shows! Thank you brotha, and hope you enjoy all the future parts!

[@pkswordsaga3967]

I feel bad for Jack. He’s so tragic, loses everything and even in the end, he still has his “king” mentality that he will never be even though he’s changed so much in the best way possible. Just an individual that was put in the world to be a foil, the very embodiment of a false prophecy. I hope someday he gets justice, no matter what type of character they made him to be, he did not deserve the harsh treatment he got in the later show and especially that “future” they gave him.

[@inhthihoanglinh6858]

My favorite Yugituber returns with yet another brilliant video. Halfway through the video I started to feel like I haven't watched the arc at all since I never thought of any underlying meaning in some of these earlier duels. Cannot wait to see your interpretation of later arcs, particularly 5D's vs Ragnarok or Z-ONE. I find the former fascinating, and the latter, well, he's one of my favorite fictional antagonists.

[@StardustNobody]

Thank you so much!! I hope to impress with my interps of the two! A masterful duel and antagonist!

[@SenpaiYGO]

Edited: Much further into the video. About half way. It’s a pleasure to listen to a passionate discussion about 5Ds! Currently building Kiryu’s Infernity Deck & already have Yusei, Jack, Crow & even Antinomy’s decks built. Cheers mate! Well done.

[@StardustNobody]

@@SenpaiYGO All the arcs will be covered in order! Don’t you worry!

[@SenpaiYGO]

@@StardustNobodyI actually left this comment a bit earlier into the video. That said, fantastic! Still listening as we speak! Well done mate! Will be sharing this for more to see!

[@SenpaiYGO]

@@StardustNobodyside note, love the use of Persona music!

[@StardustNobody]

@@SenpaiYGO Thank you so much! And yessir, Persona music wayyy too fitting for 5Ds

Very thorough analysis. Quite entertaining to watch. You actually improved my view of the Fortune Cup now This was of great quality. Hope to see more analysis videos from you in the future

[@StardustNobody]

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@randomedgygamer2191]

Cant wait for this kind of video for the Dark signers arc, arguably the absolute peak of yugioh.

[@StardustNobody]

Hope you enjoy when it comes!

[@brandonbaggaley2317]

My favorite thing dealing with the anime is the Bonds Beyond Time movie. In my perspective, Bonds Beyond Time’s premise could have easily been a whole anime arch by itself. Picture if the time period during the Duel Monsters anime that the events of the movie happened during was the Battle City tournament, Jaden and Yusai could have been mistaken as Rare Hunters due to their deck archetypes not existing yet.

Wow, nearly two hours of digging deep into the Fortune Cup arc. This video is amazing, I never expected that so much depth could be pulled out of this show. I look forward to watching your video on the Dark Signers arc, if/when it comes out.

This is your reminder to watch the rest of the video 🫡

[@5lomar]

Damn bro i appreciate deep dives into 5ds like this. Im a huge fan of 5ds so its awesome to see people still analyzing it. Cant wait for tye dark signers analysis! Btw would you ever make a video explaining things you wished happened in 5ds? For example like how crow became a signer, me personally i wish that didn't happen because it took yhe spot light away from aki and lua ect.

[@StardustNobody]

Thank you my man! And no probably not, because I'm mostly content with what 5D's has, and any issues I do have will be covered throughout the analysis series. Also don't agree with a lot of common issues people have such as Crow becoming a signer for example, as I think it's actually one of the best and most beautiful decisions in the story

[@5lomar]

Appreciate the replay. And oh wow thats a surprising take, definitely need to hear an explaination to that opinion my man. Why do you think it's beautiful? Personally I can't help but think it was a mistake because of the people in charge of the anime at the time, like idk if the writers knew what they wanted to do with crow. Like at the end of one episode he's engulfed in this haze that auto kills people, but a few episodes later he pulled an Indiana Jones and survived by hiding in a fridge. And he doesn't even have a real signer dragon, it's just a card he found in his duel runner from the previous owner, like brah. Like one of the directors that stayed to do seaosn 2 admitted in interviews that he isn't the best at writing female characters that's why aki gets done dirty in season 2 ect. But yeah I'm pretty autistic on this crow part so sorry if I'm annoying. I respect any difference in opinion tho and still open to changing mine if I'm missing anything.

[@StardustNobody]

@@5lomar You're all good! I will definitely be going in massive depth in it during the later parts! So I hope you can appreciate my full explanation then! For now, I will just say I think it's a beautiful culmination of so much Crow is; a dreamer who was always forced to live for the dreams of others, his hero, his friend, the children he lived for. And by following and realizing the truth of the hero who put him so much onto this path (Godwin), is he recognised by the Crimson Dragon, and is able to begin slowly evolving from someone who followed the dreams of others, into someone who forged his own. With Black Feather Dragon reflecting him and this evolution of sacrifice so much (As Aki says in episode 130 summing this up wonderfully) "It whittles away at itself, turning its pain into power; which I guess is Crow's personality in a nutshell" There's SO much more to it than this, but I hope this can you tide you over till the later parts come out with much more depth!
