It was hilarious seeing you lose your mind over the pot of greed and graceful charity misplays. Personally, because of those I wouldn't even call Tea a decent duelist.

I was about to say the same thing. She was giving Crump a handicap since the duel would be too boring otherwise XD

[@theglitch5386]

@@jasonmunozjr No, Tea's just not a good duelist. I've seen similar signs in IRL new players: misunderstanding the power level of an effect or the severity of a cost, making simple plays that ignore tempo or information concealment, and relying on the advice of more experienced players to do well. I'm not intending this as a slight to new or inexperienced players, they probably have a lot more fun than competitive players do in many formats. But it also means they should avoid staking their life on a duel if at all possible.

18:00, what’s even funnier than the Japanese translation is that in the English Dub Dark Magician Girl says,and I shit you not, “The Sages Stone gives me the unique power to summon the Dark Magician from any nearby players deck”. Earlier in the duel, it cuts to Yugi who is in a maze of sorts that he has to use his cards to get through, at one point he goes to use the Dark Magician to beat a monster and the Pharaoh tells him to save it for later. He ends up stumbling upon Tèas duel and is therefor in range of her spell cards effect when she activates it.

Now to be fair, if Tea played Pot, Graceful, Gemini Elf and beat Crump into the dirt in five minutes, people would rightfully ask why they don't just leave all the duels to Tea instead of Yugi, but to also be fair, pitching Pot of Greed for cost is a criminal offense in Domino City so playing it out as she did, Tea does go to jail now. Do not pass Go, do not collect your draw for turn.

[@MasterArchfiend]

Tea’s incompetent use of Pot of Greed and Graceful Charity are why Kaiba gets away with making it illegal to live in Domino City without owning a deck and having it registered in DSOD. I know that they are separate continuities, but I just imagine that this misplay was such a crime that it affected a different timeline.

It's shocking how bad a duelist Tea actually is portrayed in this duel. She was never an expert or dueling ace but like in her mock duel with Joey and even at times her duel with Mai she least is shown to be semi-competent. Still not good at all but least she can read cards and stuff. Here it seems like Tea doesn't even know how the game works or what half the cards do.

[@RFDN0]

Battle city Yugioh and Duelist kingdom yugioh are very different games skill wise. All of that aside her duel with Mai was Mai letting her win. Her duel with Joey was before he actually learned from Yugi's grandfather. She understands the basics and can make simple plays. We see a similar level of skill from Tristian and Serenity. She also just literally made the deck, so she doesn't really know what she has in it. This doesn't excuse her not playing pot of greed or graceful charity but I get why she messed that up.

Something funny I thought about in regards to the hypothetical posed at 10:50: I know Tea would be left with 50 LP and the plot probably wouldn't have allowed Tea to go out like this, but since taking LP damage in this duel causes the player to be encased in ice, taking all of that damage would probably have left Tea so encased in ice that she'd be unable to move so she'd still lose due to being unable to continue.

@@darksideofevil13 I legit forgot about Espa Roba and his brothers helping him. Kind of wish that Joey took Rex's Serpent Night Dragon from Roba along with Jinzo, and gave it back to Rex whenever they saw each other next. To kind of Mirror how Yugi won his Red-eyes from that Rare Hunter, who was also cheating. This very likely wouldn't work, but i kind of want a "What if" story where Joey surrenders to Rex to wake him up from the Seal's influence, like how he did for Mai, but on purpose instead of passing out during the duel. He throws his Red-Eyes and Claw of Hermos to Rex before the Seal takes him, telling him Red-Eyes is in good hands, and asks him to help Mai. Rex would then Duel Mai, use Hermos on one of his Dino cards, only because it senses Joey's respect for him and let's him use it's power and create a whole new fusion monster, and tell Mai that Joey wanted to apologize for not helping her when she needed him, because season 4 couldn't decide on her character motive. Seeing Rex use Hermos would hopefully snap Mai from the Seal's control, as contrived as that sounds. Unfortunately, he'd lose to Raphael right after, more or less the same way Mai ended up losing to him before his rematch with Atem, and then he usesHermos to beat Raphael, and the season plays out like normal. However, Joey and Rex meet up again, and Rex offer Joey the Red-Eyes, stating it isn't his anymore, and Joey offers him a rematch, without their lives at risk, to win Red-Eyes back. It would be a great way to show their growth as duelists and wrap up Rex's character arc, regardless of the results. Wouldn't have to be onscreen, but preferred so we can see it, unlike Yugi and Joey's duel at the end of season 3. Damn, that was a rant and a half, geez

Two things I can point out here, for context. The spare cards in Tea's hand were likely not firmly plotted out. It's a mistake the 4Kids version made a lot too, leading to many card choices to seem quite odd. The animators likely just chose random cards they already knew how to draw already to save time and effort. However, 4Kids fixed the "Gust" issue, replacing it with "Mirror Wall" instead. Didn't change the "Pot of Greed," but hey, they tried.

Even if Crump wanted to, he couldn't have won back when Tea had set Skelangel. In the anime, Flying Penguin is a Wind attribute monster, not Water, and the sub specifically stated that in the final part in the duel with Yugi & Joey vs the Big 5. Volt Penguin would have delt 1300 points of damage, Nightmare Penguin would have only delt 900, leaving Tea with 50 life points. Tea summons Maha Vilo, attacks and destroys Nightmare Penguin, and Tea would win due to destroying Crump's Deck Master/Himself. P.S.

Kind of a bummer Tea didn't have a bigger role in later arcs. She's practically Yugi's Girlfriend yet she does very little through most of the series and as mentioned in this video, does almost no dueling either. How cool would it've been to have Tea want to get into Duel Monsters and have Yugi actually help her learn the rules and build a deck. That could've been a fun way to develop her character and relationship with Yugi.

Nightmare Penguin is actually a Wind Attribute monster in the anime so the damage calculations for the first crump victory would be off by 50 LP.

[@Atomic_Aegis45]

4:38. This is why I prefer the Dub way of showing the card as: atk, def, level, attribute, and artwork. That way if the effect is different in the show compared to real life, they won't accidentally put the real effect jnstead of the anime one.

[@VanishEclipse4867]

0:04 Ok that clip taken out of context looks really bad to some people. The thing is both Tea and Tristan sadly are not competitive duelists like Bakura, Yugi, and Joey. Tea knows how to duel on a basic level but my guess is she has not dueled in a competitive sense and can't really duel under pressure. Then there is Tristan who outright admits he has not dueled for a long time so there is that and he was trying to cover for Serenity since it's her first time dueling. So the thing is barely any of the Big Five or the team ever bring out their Deckmasters knowing it's an immediate loss for them if things go south and so they just opt for using their effects. Nesbit is the only one of the Big Five who actually played big and brought out his Deckmaster and that was more because he used it to bring out his boss monster Perfect Machine King which became his new Deckmaster.

It'd be cool to see one of these Duel Analyses for the Team Taiyo vs Team 5Ds. It wasn't dubbed into English, but is still my favourite duel from any series. I imagine 5Ds could have won, or at least, made it impossible for Taiyo to win fairly early, but only with the foresight of knowing what Team Taiyo's plan was all along. Once Thud was summoned, though, I'm not sure 5Ds could have won. I'm pretty sure even the way they did win was by using a card on an illegal target.

​@darksideofevil13 I know people tend to defend Noah with "he was only a kid he didn't know better and was jealous of Yugi's support and the kaiba brothers being a family." That's no excuse to put the group through that kind of trauma. Yugi was also stressing about evil Marik hurting his friends and wanting his power and to take over the world, too, and knew he had to go back and face THAT.

Never thought he discuss a duel on Téa VS one of the Big 5 members Crump the Nightmare Penguin.

The thing I dislike most about the virtual world arc is that all the duelists who had established strategies (which includes Tea since we saw her duel with Mai in Duelist Kingdom and she used a similar strategy), they didn't get a chance to truly experiment with new cards and strategies. They all basically built the decks they had in the regular world.

[@doggozwei281]

11:58 Yeah, but Crump had cards in his hand still. She must've been worried about over-committing by summoning her DMG and having him block the attack by discarding Kuriboh and then managing to destroy it somehow. Yeah...that must be it

[@teamheroescrossover]

Téa is an Undefeatable duelist. She did barely hang on to the other side and didn’t give up until the end of her. Téa faced her fear, her time has come and gone, Dark Magician Girl helping her carry on. Every duel she was thrown into, she was Undefeatable. The combo of Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl is what Téa got when her and Yugi’s decks collided. Crump is just an enemy. He crossed the line, trying to possess her body. Téa almost ran out of time, but took what’s hers and won. Sonic Frontiers song references aside, despite the analyzed misplays, I really enjoyed this standout duel for Téa. I became a Téa fan from it and the duel solidified her as a favorite character of mine. I always come back to these two episodes to relive it and think of how much potential Téa could’ve had, with a few more standout duels of her own like her heroine successors, if she was more involved with the overall plot and was written better.

[@digitalduken9973]

Even if Crump decided to attack skelangel with flying penguin still, summoning bolt penguin would still put Tea down enough LP to where she would lose to the double torpedo penguin attack play. Flying penguin into the set monster from a game standpoint is the correct play since you don't know the stats of the monster, and bolt penguin's stats are low enough even with the nightmare buff that attacking with bolt could risk no damage at all. Crump could have done a slightly more aggressive play that was still safe enough that would have won him the game anyway.

to be fair that Skelegal might have been something with beefy defense like a Mystical Elf instead. summoning the Bolt Penguin to attack it could have caused unnecessary damage in an already back & forth pretty close duel. but he could have summoned it for another direct attack & probably won sooner with Torpedo Penguin's effect.

[@bstuna13]

I have been throwing around a storyline to make Téa more fleshed out, with this duel being her awakening. She would be using "Hecate" deck. She got the basis of it as well as the Millennium Scales from Risa Kageyama and her two sisters after Yugi defeated them in a duel very similar to what you see in season zero, and took ownership of the three Hecate monsters as well as the Millennium Scales from the Kageyama sisters who had previously stolen the Millennium Scales from Shadi, although it was Yugi and not Kaiba who defeats the sisters, as he is able to retake control of the Puzzle and let the pharaoh do the hard work, probably by collapsing from his fever retaking over and having his hand land on the puzzle.
