Top 10 STRONGEST DUELISTS in Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS

[@esteban8471]

I wouldn't really count Lightning's "victory" against Revolver as legitimate. It was supposed to end in a draw, but Lightning cheated to give himself one life point left. Not with a card, but with a completely unrelated factor (Jin's data). It's like Joey vs Marik. Yeah, Marik "won" but we all know what really happened. Edit: No, I am not saying Joey is > Marik. That's not the reason I'm comparing the duels. The point of the comparison is that both duels' conclusion ended with an outside factor rather than the duel itself.

I find Bohman to be like Primo but more annoying due to wanting to defeat the protagonist, it almost feels like an obsession. Still can't get over how *Chimera Hydradrive Dragrid* was a poorly designed Link Monster.

[@jacksonhernandez153]

Awesome list that you made. However, the only characters I flip will be between revolver and lightning because Revolver was going to beat lightning during their dual however lightning use Jin as a hostage and playmaker Convincing him not to attack with his borrload xyz dragon and another point, the dual would have ended it as a draw If lightning didn't convert Jin memories into one life point causing him to win that duel.

[@SpecsTube]

I was so confident Ai would be in the top 5. And Revolver is only 5th? Lightning would’ve been my 6th. I was so confident on my Top 5: Playmaker, Soulburner, Revolver, Ai then Bohman. Damn that top 5 is a bit conflicting. I can’t agree with Lightning above Revolver since Lightning completely cheated in that duel and cheesed a win so Lightning doesn’t deserve to be in Top 5. I’m confident both Ai and Revolver could beat Bohman - I know this post is based off duels we saw but I doubt Bohman’s attribute strategy would work against Revolver perhaps Ai. Ai, in my opinion, Ai is the strongest Ignis. Like you said, having been at Playmaker’s side, that experience gives him a really good edge. Hopefully, we’ll get Sevens though it’ll probably be a while later until Dylan recovers from his surgery.

[@CreaturesOfTheMarsh]

I think I would go: Lightning < Revolver < Bohman Since Revolver was just equal to Lightning in that duel (they would be around the same ranking), but Lightning also believed Bohman to be stronger than him (and Revolver by extension). I think Yusaku was the only character (at that point in the show) who could have beaten Bohman. Soulburner and (maybe) AI surpassed Bohman later, but Revolver’s peak was likely that duel with Lightning, which puts him below Bohman.

Kinda hard for Playmaker to not be #1 when the circumstances of the story basically didn’t allow him to ever realistically lose without heavy consequences. If he lost even once to anyone he dueled, it’s basically Armageddon for everyone.

[@shaktosh524]

Same could be said for Yusei tbh; every time him and Playmaker dueled, the stakes were high so they had to win or things would have gotten pretty ugly. If they had a duel with no such high stakes, then they could have afford a defeat.

Playmaker really struggled to take down Ai in that final duel. If not for Revlover gave that card to him beforehand. I don't think Playmaker is able to win

[@lordchaos7274]

The disrespect towards Revolver is insane here. Its like you just googled the results without watching the duels. He has a chance to obliterate Lightning but doesnt to save Jins life, then only loses cuz Lightning cheats to give himself 1 LP. And in his last duel, he obviously throws to give Soulburner a chance at closure. Easily 2nd only to Playmaker

[@jimtat2527]

Based on feats, overall dueling ability and intention by the writers, Revolver should easily be top 3. His loss to lightning is not even a loss. He lost to playmaker who is number 1 but also drew with him twice. Bohman on the other hand only managed one draw against him. His loss to soulburner was more for closure for soulburner's character but it's still a loss so it's taken into account. But yeah, overall definitely top 3, most likely 3rd. Also Ai should be above both lightning and bohman at his strongest since he has the data of all the other ignis and pushed playmaker during their final duel so probably 4rth spot for him although in a duel between him and soulburner during the end Ai would probably win but that's besides the point

[@raphaelwilkes97]

Facts

[@mariowarion]

playmaker dueled revolver in season 1 and bohman in season 2 with bohman growing as a duelist as the season kept going unlike revolver who was already as good in the beginning of s1 as in the end of it. Unless there is some unreleased footage about revolver sharpening his duel skills. Playmaker only defeated bohman because Ai, hanoi, akira and ghost girl (and ropoppi) sacrificed themselves to the neuron link could be stopped. Without it he would have clearly lost

Nasch who at his peak was nearly equal to zexal III or kaito who barely won vs yuma without him using zexal which would have obviosuly resulted into yuma's win since kaito won with like 200 life points which shows how close the duel was.

[@hightidekraken]

People complain about Yusaku but they forget he was tortured and forced to duel. It makes sense he’s such a good duelist because if he messed up he was electrocuted. That would mess you up and it obviously did as we saw with his revenge plot against Hanoi. If I was in his position I’d practice like nobodys business to get to that level just to never feel that level of vulnerability and weakness again. Which is why he needed his connections with A.I. and the cast to open up a bit more.

[@World7589]

Yusaku lost a trillion times during the Lost incident. But didn't lost at all when Vrains began

[@silvernapper2797]

I still don’t like yuasku tho even if he was strong

[@phonepup06]

I think I would put Specter ahead of Go; yes Go beat an Ignis but Specter dueled quite well against probably the strongest Ignis. He also has had a lot of experience I’m sure with watching Revolver. I think an honorable mention can go to Blood Shepard. He also dueled decently against Lighting, but it is foreshadowed that maybe he could’ve beaten Soulburner if their duel continued. And perhaps even Windy can have an hindrance mention. Yes, he lost twice and dueled twice only. But he was very close to beating Revolver, and if he used his negate hand trap earlier he would’ve beaten Soulburner. Unfortunately we could only get so many duels with Ai, but I do honestly think he would’ve only lost to Playmaker. I don’t think there is anyway Ai losses to Revolver if they duel. Maybe Ai could be lighting, which might be controversial. But I do say this since the show seems to indicate that when these characters use Fusion, XYZ, or Synchro that it is harder for the Ignis to beat. The Ignis seem to counter links quite well, but anytime someone has used another method vs an Ignis it lost. Except Revolver. But when an Ignis has mastered those summons also I think they could beat another Ignis.

I'll be honest I would almost put Soulburner in front of Playmaker because Soulburner never dueled playmaker and Soulburner is one of the only duelists of the main cast that Playmaker never dueled so you could make the argument that they didn't think Playmaker could win.

[@starbound100]

They did duel in duel links (wich has the Canon continuation of vrains) and soulburner won. But on the other hand, in duel links revolver said that he let soulburner have closure, and beat him afterwards. So in reality those 3 are relative to each other.

[@animeproduction401]

My Top 5: 5. Bohman 4. Revolver 3. Soulburner 2. Lightning 1. Playmaker/Yusaku.

[@jamiewalsh3349]

Varis (AKA Revolver) to me has to be the strongest duellist from VRAINS. Not only does he have powerful monsters, most of them being Rank 4 Link monsters (which he I think he has more of than anyone else), but also he is always one or two steps ahead of his opponents.

[@halqthedarktemplar]

I agree that Revolver maybe should be higher. However, while he may be 2 steps ahead of his opponent, Playmaker has a better style: figuring out the opponent first, than being 4 steps ahead of him the entire time after that. Sure, there are quite a lot of "I need this 1 card to win" moments, but that's because writers need to make duels exciting. Aside from those 1 in a duel moments, he is always ahead after the early game it feels

[@Deathmare235]

He literally lost to soulburner, he’s no where near the strongest

[@drigon100]

1. Playmaker 2. Revolver 3. Ai 4. Soulburner 5 Bohman Revolver Vs Soulburner was such a punted game. Revolver was pushing Soulburner to overcome his issues not to win. Not to mention Soulburner had to top deck one of the most anime of anime cards to win despite Revolver not going all out. Lightning cheated twice against Revolver as well. 1 when using Jin as a hostage to prevent Revolver for attacking for game. 2. when hacking the duel to leave himself with 1LP instead of drawing with Revolver.

[@luckyfrog3575]

Roboppi should be higher up in this list considering they were owning Soulburner in that duel. If they didn't malfunction they would had won that duel regardless, even AI was afraid was afraid og how advance they were becoming.

[@World7589]

This is American garbage video for you

[@dancostello4872]

Yeah no, Ai is definitely the #2 duelist in the show, especially when you consider his 'best/prime'; if you look at his strongest formation in his final duel with Playmaker, _no one else_ is fully breaking that, not even Soulburner. I know you said Ai's resume wasn't great, but don't forget Pandor was literally created to counter Ai (even down to using Topologina) & there were multiple copies sharing data & helping his opponent's make countering plays accordingly, and Ai still won despite all that; Pandor even acknowledged Ai's incredible ability to adapt & avoid danger. Even before taking over a SOLtis, Ai was underrated because he was also the show's primary comic relief, for example, Bohman had been analysing & learning from Playmaker's data which was methodical & logical, and as such was prepared to counter it; he openly admitted during R3 that he wasn't prepared for Ai's emotions & instincts, which made Ai more dangerous than the other Ignis because those traits couldn't be accounted for & he was the only Ignis to have them. As an Ignis, Ai was the one modelled after the strongest Lost Incident victim (Playmaker) & it shows - he was on track to cleanly defeat Playmaker in the finale (and I'm not talking about the original ending) - and the only reason he lost was because he played TA.I Strike; Playmaker himself admitted that he had nothing & so would have lost if Ai had instead just gone to crash Dark Templar (which couldn't be mutually destroyed) into Decode Talker. Regarding Ai's clones losing, don't forget the clones weren't programmed to try & win, but to stall for time to keep the power trio occupied. Realistically, the Top 5 looks like: #1) Playmaker #2) Ai #3) Bohman #4) Revolver/Soulburner #5) Soulburner/Revolver

[@raphaelwilkes97]

Bohman wouldn’t be ahead of soulburner and he’s definitely not ahead of revolver your overrating AI yes he was strong and he’s top 3 in my book but he was watching what everyone was doing the whole time it’s a reason why they were looking for him so he had all that time to come up with a great plan AI was great but Pandor was the only duelist he beat that meant something especially at that time before his match against playmaker himself

@@raphaelwilkes97 Bohman at his best could use a skill (in a Master Duel) every turn. If you don't consider that being strong then yeah by all means drop him, but I still think he's a solid #3. I get that Ai was watching people the whole time but that doesn't take away from his dueling prowess (especially against unknown opponents or opponents he'd only watched once or twice), and the reason his roster isn't great is because his plan wasn't contingent on beating everyone so he wasn't actively going after them (most duels he had were people approaching him trying to stop him).

Soulburner is right behind him because I think he could defeat Ai. Ai is strong, but with the clone argument I do think the previous 3 could beat him.

[@bigfish5544]

I think the fact you put Bohman above lightning because he absorbed lightning before the last duel is a solid argument to put Ai above lightning too, as the latter did absorb all the ignis after defeating Bohman before season 3. In fact, had Playmaker not been given borrelload savage dragon by revolver and had Ai Not activated his last card in their final showdown, he would have won that duel (just as playmaker stated himself) . I mean, the fact the originally conceived ending of Vrains being about Yusaku LOSING to Ai and dooming the future of humankind puts things into perspective I think: either one of the could have easily won that duel at the end, and Yusaku really only won because he was lucky. The two of them being perfect equals makes perfect sense to me

[@NEBREUELPHFTARRRR]

True

[@DavidLane1995]

I was heartbroken when you gave Ai the 6th spot, in my opinion Ai is the strongest duelist in vrains and here's why, in the final duel he could have easily defeated playmaker if he didn't activated tai strike which we all know playmaker is the strongest in vrains at that time so if Ai won he's stronger than playmaker, also in that duel playmaker would had struggled if he didn't had revolvers dragon, since that dragon isn't playmakers card I found it cheating a little bit and with the help of that dragon it lead to playmakers victory, I understand why u gave Ai a lower spot cause he's only had 5 duels but since he had the opportunity to defeat playmaker in my opinion he's the strongest duelist, when I saw Ai human form for the first time I was like omg he's so cool looking I don't care what deck he uses I'm gonna use it and suprise to myself it's my strongest deck and the first deck that I actually love and cared for cause I loved the character and understands the lore of the @ignister deck

[@Vandalieu]

I feel the only reason Ai lost against Revolver, Playmajer and Soulburner was because hecwas just stalling for time, and he was planning to lose to Playmaker later. Hell its implied Ai threw the final fight.

[@unknowed5048]

I do agree with you there. If you were in Ai's position, if you win the duel, you will basically kill your friend along with yourself. And you are already set on commiting suicide yourself only because you don't want your said friend to die because of you. It just defeats the entire purpose of going through all of this by winning.

But I do think Soulburner above Lightning and Revolver. This is still a really good list!

Good list overall! These are actually very hard to rank them since really, there’s not enough duels to compare the strength between certain duelists. For my list: (Honorable mentions: Ghost girl, Pandor, Windy) 10. Akira/Aoi (I give Akira some credits due to his combos being quite deadly to deal with) 9. Spectre 8. Roboppi 7. Go 6. Lightning 5. Bohman 4. Revolver 3. Soulburner (I know he lost to Bohman but at the very top power, I think he can exceed Bohman) 2. Ai (the guy is literally the final boss version of Bohman) 1. Playmaker (he literally has everything for a comeback lmao)

Lightning is first villain in Yugioh to have last laugh

[@dillonr9118]

Next is yu gi oh sevens but I’m hoping Yuga becomes 1st too because even he loses so many times he did beat Luke at that final duel and becomes king of duels and he defeats more difficult opponents and he my favorite character

[@EliascastilloShin-Chan1986]

My top 3 will be playmaker, revolver and A.i, play maker well he is playmaker never lost, revolver only lost due to the plot. And A.i was the final villain.

My top 10 Strongest duelists in Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains 10. Go Onizuka 9. Aoi 8. Specter 7. Lightning 6. Roboppi 5. Soul Burner 4. Bohman 3. Ai 2. Varis (Revolver) 1. Playmaker (Yusaku Fujiki)

[@Harazmatik]

I think Bohman should not be in top 10, because: 1)He used Skill in Master Duel, which is considered cheating. 2)Use dumb luck to win, or even force a good luck. That's my opinion.

[@bearbbb12]

8:47 when you said “If Lightning and AI dueled” I rewinded cause I thought “AI” was actually “I” as in you (Dylan) 🤣🤣🤣sounded like you were challenging Lightning

[@anthonythomas305]

Nice ranking as always Dylan For me, here's my list of strongest duelists in VRAINS: 10. Aoi Zaizen 9. Akira Zaizen 8. Spectre 7. Go Onizuka 6. Ghost Gal 5. Ai 4. Revolver 3. Bohman 2. Soulburner 1. Playmaker

[@slenderbear2234]

I shall predict this top 5! 1. Ai 2. Playmaker 3. Bohman 4. Soulburner 5. Revolver If I’m wrong I’ll edit in my shocked but probably not shocked reaction Edit: I’m shook

[@lassegrotkjr6326]

What made you Think Ai would be higher than playmaker?

[@slenderbear2234]

@@lassegrotkjr6326 because it’s stated in the duel that Ai would have won if he didn’t activate TA.I. Strike

[@raphaelwilkes97]

Why and how is bohman 3 even with the cyberse world he barely did shit against any real duelist in the show

[@slenderbear2234]

@@raphaelwilkes97 Bohman beat soulburner and would have likely beaten playmaker if AI failed to gather the remains of the other ignis to create darkfluid

[@raphaelwilkes97]

@@slenderbear2234 that’s why I said he barely did shit against any real duelist and he was charged up against Soulburner and still barely won against him and he wasn’t beating playmaker regardless at the time

[@medaliboulaamail6491]

lighning would have lost to revolver if it wasn't for the girl black mail

[@wxterfc3045]

PREDICTION BEFORE I WATCH THE VID TOP 10 1 yusaku 2 AI 3 bohman 4 varis 5 soulburner 6 lightning soulburner and lightning could switch tbh same with varis and soulburner 7 blue angel 8 Windy 9 the gore 10 earth (couldn't think of anyone else)

[@wxterfc3045]

can't believe i forgot about spectre and roboppi and this was a really unexpected ranking

[@keplerr]

Placing Lightning above Revolver is like saying Noah was a better Duelist than Kaiba when they both pulled the same cheat on Revolver and Kaiba

[@the_superior_nerd2439]

Once varis had his transformation varis loss all his plot armor

[@tvojamama4888]

we need top 10 strongest duelists in the whole series

[@astralizer99]

I think that one of the few characters who rivals playmaker would be Yusei from 5ds or Soulburner

[@playmajor]

The reason I put Bohman and Lightning below Revolver is because of the antics and cheating

[@Tibainium]

I thought Ai could have defeated Playmaker if he wanted to. That alone would put him in the top 3.

[@predaplantuser2742]

Ai is stronger than boman, lighting, soulbouner and revovler. Roboppi should be higher.

[@Dawg477]

This list is full of bias. 🤣

[@raphaelwilkes97]

It really is

[@gerardovazquez7997]

My top 5 would be 1. Playmaker 2. Ai 3. Revolver 4. Lighting 5. Soulburner I disagree with putting Ai so low on the list, he created a Link 6 and would have beaten Playmaker if he hadn't played Ta.i strike. Lighting basically cheated twice in his duel against Revolver by holding Jin hostage and converting Jin's memories into a life point. Soulburner is strong even though he did defeat Revolver, he only won by Burning Draw, a card perfect against Link monsters.

[@DemitriNevo]

Certainly wasn't named Playmaker without reason.

[@PokeMasrerJ]

This video was recorded before the surgery I take it?

[@adaurysantos]

my ranking would be 1. A.I. 2. Playmaker 3. Bohman 4. Soulburner 5. Revolver 6. Blue Angel 7. Go 8. Lightning 9. Roboppi 10. Specter

[@isaqueucdc]

my top 5: Playmaker Bohman AI Soulburner Revolver

[@lesterwilliamsjr649]

I'm still waiting for Lightning's deck to get printed.

[@World7589]

All of us still waiting

[@randomguy6230]

1 playmaker 2 ai 3 bohman 4 soulburner 5 revolver 6 lighting

[@World7589]

Aoi is so cute. Just wanted to hug her

[@VoicesOfChaos]

I would probably drop Lightning and Bohman 2 spots. Maybe Robbopi as well. As for entire franchise I would like to see Yusei VS Playmaker as I feel like Yusei edges out Playmaker just barely because of more wins against big challengers.

[@seanakima50515e]

Was this video not already done? Inthought the results were Yusaku Ai Soulburner Revolver Bowman Lightning Spectre Blue girl Wind Go

[@revolverkyosuke7049]

Yeah, I definitely don't agree with this list.

[@neonoah3353]

Imo, doesnt matter if we saw a lot of ai or not, he is top 4 with sb, pm and revolver, he and his deck have both the skill and power to back it up. While bohman, not only lost a lot, he had to cheat to beat most of the characters (using "luck" without having to have luck, since he could just decide the outcome by controlling the cyber world) and his deck sucks ass, without he controlling the outcome of his luck he would just lose due to his deck being complete trash. And Lightning would not beat revolver had he not used his host as a hostage, and even with that he only managed to draw with revolver.

[@raphaelwilkes97]

😂 Revolver really wasn’t losing to anyone the soulburner duel was bullshit and they should of rematch with playmaker we seen how Revolver toyed with playmaker one duel and ended a draw and one of they other duels he had a whole field of his monsters ready to blast playmaker off the map

[@christiangunderson9854]

So random comment, wasn’t the ignis war arc technically a mini tournament arc, and the finals was bowman vs playmaker? I don’t know why but it feels like that to me, only those who won went to fight others who won and whoever lost was eliminated.

[@unknowed5048]

I kinda doubt so. It felt more like a MD team battle.

[@zeke7200]

Im more shocked Ai or Revolver weren't at least 4 or 3 but the logic is sound I figured Takeru and Yusaku would be the top 2

[@PkmnTrainerEmerald]

I disagree and think Revolver should be higher on this list. You know that Lightning cheated to win lol it was a draw at that point. Completely agree though with AI the fact that he lost to the three strongests humans does make the placement he got on your list. Now while i agree that he did lose his ruthlessness from season 1 i think Revolver was still a pretty strategic duelist that i do think i would put him above to number 3. Although both he and Bohman dueled Yusaku 4 times the fact that Revolver managed to get 2 draws over the 1 of Bohman to me is more impressive. Plus, like you mentioned later with soulburner being more powerful by the end of the show although Revolver lost he still was giving that version of Soulburner a run for his money. Yusaku being number 1 is a no doubter there i do think he's potentially the strongest character but i would say Yusei has him competing for that spot. Solid list bro!

[@FranciscoRamirez-nb4uu]

Lets be honest, the draws PM got don't count as him "losing", just count as him "not defeating his opponents" since it was always the opponent the one that was forced into a draw. PM was always superior to Revolver and Bohman to a point where I reached the final duels of their arcs and didn't feel any kind of tension because they keep reminding you thatr PM was stronger than them, even if they can cause trouble for him. And maybe I'm worng but I remember Lightning basically cheating to not lose against Revolver, so he shouldn't be over Revolver
