[@themarshian5124]

How about how broken were yuma’s manga cards *utopic zexal.*

[@Chronoflation]

I saw you privated it, but I wanted to thank you for making that video on NEX. I believe the NEX fusions need retrains and the set of fusions need to be complete and I want the card to get more coverage so it'll be back on Komami's radar that it's something they can go back to fix. I really liked the NEX Neos fusions as they're the only contact fusions that don't return to the extra deck at the end of the turn. Even if they're never competitive, I'd like them to be complete enough to be useable in friendlies. A version of NEX that can use neospacians from the deck and a retrain that allows the fusions to be considered different cards to avoid the 3 total limit ruling issue alone would be enough for me, though slightly improving the power of the effects to have Marine Dolphin do more damage or adjusting the Twinkle Moss effects would be good. I also really want to see the advanced Neos fusions for the rest of the advanced forms, because the base neospacian-Neos fusions are so extreme in being good or bad, it'd be nice to get them modern, advanced improvements. I'm sure it had a negative response, cause it was a negative video about something HERO, but I really appreciate it

All of that material and imagination as a kid too lol already by landing something like Grand Mole (imagine doing that as a 7 years old lol) the deal is closed on the quality. The use, relationship and mechanics of origins-created card concept in GX is particularly great too because, before the Jaden ones and flashbacls, I remember Chumley getting into it mid series and even giving Jaden Skyscraper 2 Hero City, before going through in becoming a professional about it, on top of all the loads (basically more characters than have it then not) of both friends and opponents that have a special relationship and link with their cards and decks.

@@RazorusR3X777 In a setting where the canon and standard are, aside the hearts of card and stuff, how much hearts and intensity and care you put in creating your deck (and that translating to actual success and ability, the reason why Dimitri couldn't beat Jaden even with the Yugi set and persona - according to Jaden/the episode final explanation - ), that's pretty elite for a character to do that and at that age, on top of the looming Yubel threat already/those cards coming back and becoming relevant to him and his either recovery or saving, before proceeding to beat even Yubel on top (which needed all the Neos/Neos ultimate fusions too to lead the proper neo spacians - and the elemental heroes too if I recall correctly - , and imagine creating a monster, base and engine like Elemental Hero Neos as a child lol). Plus, he would've been canonically done for if he hadn't created those cards and if those cards weren't at least all functional, synergetic and pretty good (instead they were, if used by his top duelling ability at least, elite and one of the best decks in the series). And when he retrieved the ability to use his deck, the neo spacians and elemental together were pretty great in combo and synergy too.

In Duel links I would use elemental grand merge to summon elemental hero electrum.

[@matthewdodd1262]

His monsters were rubbish and not worth a mention, aside from Aqua Dolphin Grand Mole. His spells and traps on the other hand are broken and have seen time on the ban list

[@controlenjoyer5873]

That is how to describe gx era. Most of the monsters are so bad for today standard but the spells and traps are broken .

[@UncrownedKing17]

elemental hero aqua neos in the anime was pretty broken

[@Deathmare235]

What was it’s effect Edit: it would be pretty interesting if they kept it I mean aqua dolphin had a better effect

[@UncrownedKing17]

@@Deathmare235 it's effect was: "discard 1 card, destroy 2 cards in you opponents hand"

[@NerdyTransformed]

Aye, but we're looking at the TCG effects, not the anime effects

[@SilverHyozanryu]

It's kinda hilarious the list of cards he played that managed to be relevant at the time of release and even now. Mirror force, solemn judgement, dandylion, card trooper, super polymerization, grand mole, spell striker, mirage of nightmare etc.

[@crowhaveninc.2103]

This is a really cool analysis :) Something I would like to see at some point is a comparison between all (or an X number of) main character's ACTUAL decks (as far as you can piece them together, of course). It would be a challenge to analyze those decks I think, especially seen the fact the writers obviously don't think too much about how actual decks are constructed

[@silvertipstudio9622]

Imagine if instead of aqua dolphin he created some generic overpowered card like an instant win or something

13:26 Dzeeff struggling 💀

I played aqua dolphin way ahead of the curve. Way before hand traps. Combo’ed great with atlanteans in water decks. Even in DL water neos was very good, I got kog at least 5x with it. Neos in general already used some water cards like gale lizard or nightmare penguin but with abyss solder it was even better as you could OTK them even faster not having to set a monster for a turn. Even aqua dolphins lame fusion was pretty darn good in DL once jaden got the skyscraper field spell skill.

[@nooneknows3520]

So you have done Yusei, Jaden, and Yugi. Now, what about Yuma and work your way up from there?

[@michaelanthony2520]

Awwww gx this is where Yu-Gi-Oh died for me I enjoyed everything up to the end of it truly was the golden age of cartoons and video games 💯

Anime*

[@sharequsman596]

Why?

[@bobbob8543]

around 10:00 there seems to be some weird editing with Rainbow Neos. Otherwise great video! Would definitely be interested in manga decks in general, not just Jaden (very interested in Jaden's deck, however)! EDIT: Same weird editing around 13:20 for Spell Striker.
