Lemme explain (prepare for a potentially long explanation) - Jaden was being too near sighted in his desire to save Jessie, to the point of literal potential suicide. Yes i think he should have tried to trust and lean on his friends, but ill get to them right now. - Jaden's friends, simply put, are dead weight. They have proven, time and time and time again that they SIMPLY cannot be trusted to clutch up when things go bad. Seasons 1, 2 and 4 prove this. If i was Jaden, id want to handle things on my own too, because unless your name Zane, Aster or even Jesse, you're not accomplishing anything.

The best part was he NEVER complained about the quality of his deck, he always just knew HOW to use them (yeah he hates the Ojamas, but he still crushes his opponents with them....) but the parallels to ARC-V are there, the main character breaking down and effectively becoming the villain in the end.

Not to mention, Jaden finally becoming engulfed in anger for the first time is one of GX’s most iconic moments. Seriously, Kenn (Jaden’s JP VA) is amazing in this duel.

I'd have say that both Jaden and all of his friends were equally wrong to a degree. No Jaden didn't listen to them and was very reckless, but at the same time none of his friends actually judged the situation correctly. Jaden wasn't so focused on saving Jesse because he didn't care about anyone or anything else, he was so focused on saving him because he blamed himself for everything that had happened to all of them throughout the year. Viper came to duel academy and put students into comas because Yubel told him to find Jaden. Yubel transported the school and everyone in it to the desert world because they wanted to get rid of Jaden's friends. Jesse wouldn't have been stranded in an alternate dimension and forced to stay behind in the first place if it wasn't for Jaden. Jaden was on the verge of a mental breakdown well before the duel with Brron even started, and yet none of his friends actually noticed that. They just assumed he was hyper focused on Jesse and so they didn't give him the help he actually needed at all. He didn't need back-up or protection. What he needed was for at least one of them to let him know that it wasn't his fault, that he hadn't doomed them all by simply existing. Instead we got what ended up happening, Jaden getting pushed away by the only people he had left and sinking even further into his already broken state.
@caiusdrakegaming808721 күн бұрын
Yeah, I agree Jaden isn't entirely blameless with being reckless, but honestly the blame isn't what I'd call equal. His friends definitely are in the wrong more than he is, since literally everything that happened to them over the year was because of Yubel wanting to get to Jaden and they act him going alone to protect them(since it's pretty obvious Yubel doesn't really care if they hurt the rest of Jaden's friends so long as he comes back to them) as him being selfish. It's not selfish if it's been shown you guy will be in danger if you follow him.
@michaelguinnee-sh9xd20 күн бұрын
I don’t know if it should mostly go to his friends. Jaden rushed into duels in part out of a desperation to save Jesse as said above, but also to keep his friends out of danger. They came but he didn’t trust them, which is a reasonable conclusion from how terribly the show wrote the side cast, since Jaden kept stealing battles other people should have had(Syria’s should have dueled Camula for Zane’s soul, Alexis should have dueled Atticus and Chazz should have saved Alexis from arcana). Helios friends reasonably interpreted this as Jaden being reckless for no reason and putting everyone in danger, which he eventually did. Had he trusted everyone to some degree and traveled with them, no one would have gotten ambushed(which was a bs way to throw way half the cast, they didn’t even duel and just got mugged). The issue is that no one communicated their reasons, so no one was entirely wrong or right, just what the show has always done, wrote Jaden really well and everyone else like shit.

Jaden's duels in Season 3 was really something and I'm so happy to see it again Supreme King Jaden's birth arc begins
@snowboundwhale686022 күн бұрын
As far as the "who's in the wrong?" question goes, I think it's an ESH with Jaden being very slightly less in the wrong, only and specifically because he straight up told them all not to follow him and that he could guarantee their safety if they did. Yes Jaden's got some major tunnel vision going on and it is a problem; it literally kills Freed and jeopardises the camp he was helping, and he leaves his friends who followed him by the wayside without even realising they got kidnapped. His desperate need to get Jesse back is clearly bringing out the worst in him throughout this arc and that culminates in awakening as the Supreme King who's straight up locked away his memories of all his friends so he can't be hurt by their loss anymore (not to mention the mass execution of duelists). Jaden's distinctly not "in the right" this entire time, but that doesn't mean the others cannot also be in the wrong. His friend group are frankly bad friends. They get along with him well enough and do seem to genuinely like him, but none of them really _get_ him, which is why he got so attached to Jesse so quickly as they do get each other. Worse is they repeatedly over rely on Jaden's skills as a duellist throughout the entirety of GX, which places the burdens on him he's shown struggling with in early season 3. He has to handle half the shadow riders in season 1 by himself, Chazz and Alexis both manage to take one each but then they all get wiped by Banner, and then Jaden's also stuck staring down 3 pseudo-God Cards in the Sacred Beasts. Syrus is literal dead weight not even getting a spirit key but showing up to shadow duels anyway just to get repeatedly taken hostage, sometimes accompanied by someone else depending on who's available. Season 2 Chazz probably gives the best effort to getting Jaden out of his post-Aster funk. but is literally the first to fall to the Light and Jaden later has to duel that back out of him. Alexis also gets brainwashed, Bastion literally throws for a sense of acceptance, Syrus tries his best with Zane but his best is decidedly mid, and outside of that he spends the entire season bickering with Hassleberry over which one if Jaden's "best friend" which Jaden is visibly uncomfortable with. Other than Hassleberry being "part dinosaur" which let him resist the Light of Destruction and being able to astral project into space along side Neos so they can beat up a mind controlling satellite together, he's mostly just on the sidelines as well. Even Aster fails to handle Sartorius so Jaden has to clutch as the last hope once again against a potentially world ending card game based threat. And then there's all the troubles they go through in the early half of season 3, nobody in the original friend group is useful during the "bio band arc" except Syrus who clocks it immediately (in the dub at least), except by this point Syrus has such a negative track record that nobody even listens to him, so it's basically all up to the new transfer students (one of whom takes Syrus hostage, again). When Jaden's getting bogged down mentally and feeling lost Jesse's the only one who catches there's something wrong, not his friends of 2 years though only the guy he met maybe a month ago and really vibed with off the bat. In the monster world Chazz fumbles into being a duel zombie which makes everything dramatically worse. The group are repeatedly unhelpful and place a lot of responsibility on Jaden whether intentionally or not because they cannot handle it themselves. They even spend a notable amount of season 4 acting like they're at a loss because Jaden isn't there to help them due to his closing himself away and acting independently a lot more (especially when dealing with supernatural threats, wonder why /s). And then it comes out that everything's been orcastrated by Yubel this entire season which immediately sets Jaden spiralling because "this is all my fault", and Jesse is the only one actually able to support him. Jesse even sacrifices himself to get everyone else back to their world, which sets up Jaden going back to find him in this arc, because how could he not? It's "his fault" any of this happened, and now that Jesse's stuck in that world, how could he not notice? Jesse was the most supportive friend Jaden's had all GX, and now he's lost him he's really feeling that absence, all on top of the guilt from feeling responsible for it due to his connection to Yubel. So naturally Jaden _needs_ to get him back, and this time it really is his own sense of responsibility telling him to do so, not one placed on him. When his friends go to follow him he argues against it, tells them not to come, that he doesn't know what'll happen and that he cannot promise to keep them safe, but they insist anyway. They mean well, but given their previous showings it'd be no wonder why Jaden wouldn't fully trust them to be able to look after themselves. Then they go through the portal and hey, guess what they don't look after themselves! Nobody except Jaden duels at all because Jaden learns "if you lose, you die" and after the last 2.5 years he's seen them all lose too many times at important moments to risk that, so now Jaden's duelling for everyone (largely offscreen)and he's getting tired while they all feel rather put out and have nothing to do exemplifying how they're dead weight on this trip. Jaden's getting impatient and tunnel visioned and the fatigue only adds to that but his friends don't really try to help besides telling him to slow down (almost helpful advice given unhelpfully) and acting all huffy about the fact he isn't paying much attention to them (completely unhelpful). And _then_ they get captured, magically branded, and most of them are sacrificed to Super Poly ion front of him while they basically curse him out in their final breaths. Even though Jaden tried his best in that duel to keep them safe the danger was sown before it had even started, and while we can argue he should have been more attentive to them to have never gotten into that situation, they frankly didn't need to be here at all. If they weren't there for Jaden to lose them while they shout at him about how he's such a bad friend idk if he'd even have become the Supreme King since he was clearly mentally compromised by their loss which is what allowed Bronn's comment about Jesse being dead to send him over the edge. And then Syrus is the nail in the coffin after the duel ends, despite only clutching once ever in the season 1 tag duel and all the times his presence as a hostage made everything worse, he chews Jaden out and leaves him. *TL;DR: Jaden is selfish and greedy for trying to take everything on by himself and neglecting his friends as a result, BUT his friends are at least as selfish as he is for forcing their "help" upon him despite not being helpful, their constant lack of consideration for his state of mind, as well as for all the previous times they've forced him to clutch up and take on all the responsibility in the past; The latter of which is likely a part of the reason Jaden feels such a strong need to handle getting Jesse back himself now, as whether they meant to or not he's been essentially trained by everyone around him at Duel Academy the past 2 years to "be the guy" who handles everything and puts things right in the end.*

Pretty much all you said is accurate, while it's true that Yubel was manipulating events from behind the scenes, bringing out the worst in them all, the fact remains that it was there to begin with, and had been building up from the very first episode of GX. As I see it though, this was possibly due to the writers not wanting to throw away already-established characters, but seemingly not knowing what to do with them either, which quickly brought their relevancy/worth down, yet they were kept around.

I don’t believe Super Polymerization would have required a discard if he been able to send the 5th spell. One of the theories about the creation of this card (which was a card that didn’t exist at the time) is that the reason it requires a discard to activate is because it was "imperfect" with only 4 victims, and you have to make your own sacrifice to substitute for Syrus/Sho not dying. So, next time you activate Super Poly, remember that your discard is to replace someone not dying

Great video! I forgot how hard Jaden clapped Scarr 😭. In terms or the question half way through whether anything could've helped Jaden in that situation - Glow Neos special summoned by Monster Reborn (I feel that's an anime staple) could work. Could he destroy a spell card to attack directly for game? It was destroyed after all by Power Annihilator The only question mark is whether Glow Neos could attack directly. I don't know the mechanics regarding the combo of cards, but that's my two cents. Either that or Jaden gets something like miracle contact or some spell/trap removal In terms of the question at the end - Jaden was in a lose/lose situation, which was exactly what Yubel wanted. She wanted him to abandon his friends so in turn they abandon him. It's a fantastic hero's dilemma which really did leave me depressed after watching it, but ultimately I think it's both correct Jaden was trying to do a selfless thing, but ended up looking selfish
@dancostello487222 күн бұрын
Whether or not Glow Neos could declare a direct attack depends on the what we interpret Ring of Fiendish Power's specific floodgate to be - based on its ambiguous wording ("your opponent can only attack the Fiend-Type monster you control with the highest original ATK"), I want to say he wouldn't have been able to attack anything (not even the other player) except Power Annihilator, but I can't think of another card off the top of my head that also shares a "your opponent can only attack" clause to compare it to so I can't even test it. 😭 Edit: Just realised it doesn't even matter because Judai can just destroy Ring of Fiendish Power outright _with_ Glow Neos' effect. 🙈

About the second duel... If Jaden has a card that could resurrect Glow Neos (since it was in his graveyard and was properly summoned the first time), he could activate its effect to destroy Ring of Fiendish Power, since it's a face-up spell card. This would activate Glow Neos ability to attack directly for 2500, winning the duel. Thing is, I don't know what kind of monster resurrection cards Jaden has, so I'm not sure what would be available to him to use. Monster Reborn or Premature Burial would work, but I don't remember the ban list/allowed cards for that season of GX so I don't know if they were an option.

13:30 About the Zure Question: I keep seeing people say Jaiden NEEDS a draw card like Pot of Greed, Bubbleman, Convert Contact, etc. Not only is that a cop out, but demonstrably untrue. You see, there is a card Jaiden could top deck for victory. Three in fact. Those being any of his remaining Neo Spacians, except Glow Moss or Grand Mole As a general rule, I limited myself to only cards we know Jaiden had in his deck at this point (so no like Sabatiel or Super Poly). Furthermore, Yugipedia shows the specific decks certain characters use at different points, so I also limited myself to only cards Jaiden was shown to have in his deck during the Dark World arc. Also as stated before, no draw cards. Within all these margins, there is a way for victory. If Jaiden drew Neo Spacian Air Hummingbird, Aqua Dolphin, or Dark Panther, he could win guaranteed, that turn. You see, Common Soul actually lets you target any face up monster on the field and special summon the neo spacian in your hand to the field of the targeted monster. So, by targeting, say, Bombard, and summoning, for this example, the Aqua Dolphin Jaiden “just drew” to Zure’s field, Jaiden now has a non-Power Annihilator attack target. See, Ring of Fiendish Power states “Your opponent can only attack the face-up Fiend-Type monster you control with the highest original ATK.” This is VERY different than if it said “Your opponent cannot target monsters you control for attacks, except the fiend monster you control with the highest ATK.” Essentially, RoFP only prohibits Jaiden from attacking fiend monsters Zure controls with ATK lower than Power Annihilator’s. However, Aqua Dolphin is Warrior type, meaning it’s free to attack. So Jaiden can summon Flame Scarab who’d get 2100 ATK off the 4 spells/traps Zure has. Then he can just attack Aqua Dolphin with Flame Scarab, deal 1500 dmg, it’s destroyed, and since Zure controlled it, he takes Aqua Dolphins 600 original ATK in dmg due to Power Zone. You may be wondering about Grand Mole. If Jaiden summoned Flame Scarab and then Common Souled it to summon Grand Mole, Flame Scarab would have 3000 ATK. Move to battle phase. Attack Annihilator with Grand Mole. Due to the order in which effects resolve, Grand Mole would boot both itself and Annihilator back to the hand AFTER Annihilator can activate its effect, so Bombard would trigger, and Jaiden would lose. If it didn’t tho, with both grand mole and power Annihilator booted. Jaiden can swing the 3000 ATK Flame Scarab into the 1000 ATK Power Bombard for game, not even needing Power Zone’s burn damage. But of course, that wouldn’t work, as stated previously

I personally think Judai isn't wrong at all for doing what he did. He wanted to go alone in what he saw as a suicide mission. While I do somewhat see where Sho is coming from. Even after being offered help before leaving, Judai did say that he didn't want the others to come with him. I think Judai would have been selfish if he tried to force the others to stay safe, but from what I recall, Judai's reaction was mostly: "I don't want you to follow me, but I can't stop you either."

Brron was trying to create Super Polymerization which even then wasn't finished so he couldn't have used it during the duel even if he wanted to. Rein-Beaux is pronounced Rainbow? I was reading it was Rein-Be-aux since I first saw the card. There is actually a funny bit where Super Polymerization needed a discard to work is because it was missing the last piece needed to complete it so had that Super Polymerization been completed he wouldn't have needed to discard a card. Nowadays, the Dark World archetype has their own fusion spell that banishes Dark World monsters in the grave allowing for a summon of Colorless more powerful than before compared to using Super Polymerization. I say both Jaden and his friends were at fault. Jaden was being too reckless and while he was trying take care of things himself he failed to realize his friends are paying the price for his recklessness. The moment Jaden defeated Zure he had already set the stages for his friends to be targeted. Of course Jaden's friends were also in the wrong for ditching him after the whole thing. Syrus's emotions were too high and acted impulsively and he was that way for a while until Zane snapped him out of his brooding. As for Jim who was chasing after Syrus and Axel who was angry Jaden didn't listen to him and their friends paid the price for his recklessness, they later regretted ditching him in that state left to be consumed by his own intrusive thoughts becoming the Supreme King.

I personally believe that Jaden was the one in the right and he was being purely selfless while his friends were being selfish. if we look back at the all the major arc before hand it's mostly jaden having to risk his life and save his friends with a few exceptions and he did so without complaint. So when one of new friends someone who he has quickly clicked with is effectively kidnapped due to his own mistakes he as normal rushes to save him while asking his other friends to to stay behind where they won't be endangered as experience has taught him his enemies will target them to get to him so for once he ask them to stay and let him handle it just like he always ends up doing and he would be back as soon as he could. But instead of trusting the one person who has saved them all to do what he does best they all go anyway and when if backfires on them as normal they blame Jaden who is already been hit with curve ball after curve ball just loses it and breaks becoming the supreme king and turning his love dueling into a weapon that he has to use to keep everyone safe with only yubel and banner the only two who couldn't get hurt by his side

~4:42-5:06 To be fair, the question isn’t “could Jaden have set Clayman?” It’s “does Jaden know how setting works?” 🤭 ~15:50-16:36 I mean, as far as I can tell, activating the effect of Wicked Canon would have summoned the monster so you could consider the “Super Polymerization” being used as fluff in the same way as the book itself… or the runes that were both in Bronn’s cards and the other characters’ faces. Anyways, I really hated the events surrounding this duel. Jaden literally told his friends not to follow him and they did so anyway. Then, instead of actually *helping* him find Jesse, they were completely and utterly useless. Worse than useless actually, since them getting possessed by those runes led to them breaking Jaden and creating the card that Yubel needed for her plans. We didn’t even get to see any of them duel this arc! While I can’t blame them for trying to help their friend or being mind controlled to say things that’d otherwise be hypocritical to the point of stupidity… I *can* blame the writers for giving me hope that they would *finally* be more than just a bunch of Worfs and then dashing it with this scene. Not only that but they made it worse by having them get tied up and used for sacrifices for Jaden’s “Berserker’s Soul” moment. The writers might as well have made up four or five heirlooms from Jaden’s childhood and had them get stolen by Bronn’s men. At least then them being completely helpless would make sense, as it’d *actually* be a bunch of inanimate objects and not a bunch of supposedly capable duelists. 😔 I bet I would’ve found it so hype if I wasn’t so mad at the time. Ironic, considering said moment involved Jaden being more mad than I’ve ever been. Not as ironic as the fact that Jaden only realizes that his recklessness is dangerous to the people around him in a situation where it’s *not* his fault but ironic all the same.

The only one in that group that honestly could handle themselves decently in Dark World would have been Chaz, and that's mostly because of his Armed Dragons and V-Z mechs. Axel and Cook's decks likely would not have even beaten Scarr's deck, neither would Syrus's, and Alexis probably would have been beaten by Zure. So all-in-all Jaden would have been better off going alone, especially since all of the friends who came with him were going to be used as sacrifices to make Super Poly. Them not coming along literally would have likely prevented Brron from making the card, as well as absolutely stopped Jaden from falling into the Supreme King early.

My take on Judai and friends with selfishness. Judai is reckless, not necessarily selfish, however all of them are being reckless. Judai is the one best equipped to be there, however that ark shows that being good at the game isn't all you need. He's ignoring this and ignoring that they all have friends missing. Judai is definitely being the most self-centered, but no one there is perfect. I still view it as something where their feelings are being amplified by the spell, but they are present and they are valid. I also don't think Judai was ever possessed but experiencing a mental break down caused by watching his friends die in front of him and feeling like it was caused by his own inadequacy leading to him searching for greater power and accolades to prove that it could never happen again, leading to the Supreme King, so my interpretations may not be normal

@meganmartin337321 күн бұрын
Honestly I feel like, while both sides are partly at fault, the final and greatest fault lies with Jaden. My reasoning being, Jaden wanted to go into the alternate dimension by himself so that none of his friends would be exposed to danger, which is not in and of itself a bad thought process even if I personally get really annoyed by it. Okay, that's all well and good, _but._ His friends came with him anyway. Now that they _are_ there, they _are_ in danger, but Jaden is _still_ acting like he can spare his friends the trouble by taking on all the danger by himself. _That's_ ultimately the problem here: Not that anyone's heart wasn't in the right place, but that _no one was willing to compromise on their personal beliefs._ None of this would've happened if either 1) Jaden's friends had let go of the idea of shouldering the burden with their friend, or 2) Jaden had let go of the idea of shouldering the burden all by himself. And when option 1 ceased to be on the table, it became Jaden's responsibility to take option 2, and he failed to do so. Ergo, mostly Jaden's fault.

A nice trio of Duels to analize before Halloween. Also, fun fact, the Duel with Scarr is the first time Thunder Giant used its real-life effect instead of its anime one, as in the anime it doesn't need to discard to activate its effect upon summoning. Of course, they clearly only did it to get Necro Shade in the GY so Jaden could win on his next turn. However, they could have kept things consistent between seasons by Jaden just using Graceful Charity here to get his Fusion Material and discard Necro Shade instead. As for what Jaden could have drawn to win his Duel against Zure without Sirfried, he has a lot of draw power to make a comeback. So heres how he could win, he draws Pot of Greed and use it to draw Neo-Spacian Grand Mole and Hero Mask. He Summons Grand Mole and uses Common Soul to get Flare Scarb on the fied, he then uses Hero Mask to send Elemental Hero Neos from his Deck to the GY to have Flare Scarb's name become Neos, he returns Flare Scarb(Neos) and Grand Mole to his Deck to Contact Fusion Summon Elemental Hero Grand Neos and uses its effect to return Power Annilator to Zure's Hand. Grand Neos attacks and destroys Power Bombard and deals 1500 damage, and with the extra 1000 dealt by Power Zone, Zure would lose the Duel due to his own Field Spell. Also, also, with these series of Duels, you've almost done all the Duels from the second half of GX Season 3, the only ones left are Jaden vs Sky Scout, Jim vs Kozy, Axel vs Skull Knight, Aster vs Adrian, and Jaden vs Bou.

Sounds like the misplay on Skarr’s part could have been avoided had they just had Fusion Devourer already in his hand and instead drawing Hurricane Nest on that penultimate turn. Though that would mean a strong board combo of Fusion Devourer against fused monsters and Fake Friendship Treaty against strong level 4’s like Sparkman, so it would also be a misplay. Would require some convoluted plays so he’d only get both Devourer and Nest on his second turn (a set Jar of Greed, maybe) to totally avoid misplays. Anyway, the writers did the option we saw for the visual of seeing Fusion Devourer’s card before playing it (it is some disturbing artwork), I’m sure. Duel would have been the same either way (wonder if that’s why the Fake Friendship self-destruct was there even if it never occurred in the duel), but the way they wrote it is a little easier on the runtime and animation budget. Which is fair!

Ok, I actually have a solution that I am certain works and dear gosh its hilarious if it does. Jaden draws and gets Convert Contact, he uses it to send Flare Scarab and any Neo-Spacian doesn't matter. He draws 2 cards, Bubbleman and Burstinatrix. He uses Bubbleman effect to summon it and draw 2 more cards. He gets R-Righteous Justice and Dark Panther. He activates Common Soul targeting Bubbleman and summons Dark Panther putting Bubbleman to 1800 attk. He summons Burstinatrix as his normal summon and activates R-Righteous Justice destroying the Ring and Explosive Fuse. He uses Dark Panther to copy Annihilator's effect and then uses Burstinatrix to destroy Bombard first, dealing 200 damage in battle then 1000 dmg to Zure, he then attacks Annihilator with Panther, due to Panther being weaker, Annihilator's attack drops to 800, at the same Panther has the same effect and at the time is weaker, so it gains 1000 attk dealing 1200 to Zure and either 1800 attk or 800 attk from the field spell, any remaining life points is cleaned up by Bubbleman, game win for Jaden with no shenanigans but dumb luck.

29:13 I believe Jaiden was in the wrong, more so than his friends. His friends knew what he was doing was insane, jumping into some alternate dimension wormhole by himself on a hope of saving Jesse. They were completely in the right to go and back him up in such a dangerous situation. Jaiden, from my recollection of this arc, didn’t really protest or try to do anything to persuade them otherwise once they go through after him, and if I remember rightly he also snuck off alone to go in to the dimension by himself, with the others catching up later. He was, in many ways, traumatized by the loss/sacrifice of Jesse in the previous arc and let that blind him into being paranoid for his friends’ safety instead of trusting in their abilities.
@bladewolf317322 күн бұрын
I will counterpoint and say nobody did anything wrong except for Syrus blaming Jaiden. I will use a hypothetical real world example to demonstrate what I mean. Imagine a person runs into a burning building to save someone trapped inside. That action is both selfless and stupid as it could easily get you killed but it does demonstrate a willing to put one's life on the line to save another. If that person's friends then choose to follow, they are also making a stupid and selfless choice for the same reasons. However, everyone made their own choices. Everyone responsible for the consequences of their own choices. Switching back to GX, Syrus calling Jaiden selfish is essentially calling him responsible for everyone's death is I would say is objectively false based on what I have already said. It was wrong; and if it had not happened, Jaiden does not become the Supreme King. Making Syrus, albeit indirectly, responsible for every terrible thing the Supreme King does. Disagree or agree as you see fit, but that is why I think Syrus blaming Jaiden was the only wrong thing that happened.

@rynobehnke8289 everyone on the list for beating Jaden was either not making the argument that they should join nor had Jaden argue they shouldn't. Chaz also originally beat all of those members of the society of light in arc 2. We know those duelist are weaker than him. Arotrius clapped Chaz, though, and the assumption going in is that you need to be a viable duelist at that level for your argument to make sense. Every duel is life or death, Jaden is trying to save Jesse knowing Yubel is the threat. He also knows that Yubel is at the level of Artorius if not stronger from the previous duel Jesse saved him in. Yes, Jaden had to learn in season 1 to duel even when his friends were in danger. That is exactly what he is doing by fighting himself rather than letting them fight potentially dangerous opponents. Season 2 is heavily Jaden getting to the level where he was with his "magical card" in season 1. He doesn't quite reach that level of power again until arguably season 3/4, but he knows the others aren't at that level yet. The only member of the 5 sacrificed arguably at the level of power/skill to be a viable threat to Yubel was Abacus when using his Red Eyes deck (season 4 is where this is shown and him not being controlled by night shroud). A large part of season 4 is Jaden letting his friends grow and not be forced to rely on him for the smaller challenges (like we heavily saw in prior seasons) so they could grow to the levelnof power/skill equivalent to Zane, Aster and himself. Jaden was in the wrong for taking everything on himself. His friends were in the wrong for forcing themselves into this mission. Neither party knew when making the original argument that all of these duels were to the death. His friends were also in the wrong for heavily leaning on Jaden in the previous seasons for things to get done, while Jaden was in the wrong for continually pushing himself to the forefront. A confrontation was guaranteed to happen, rebalancing the balances of these relationships. They were all hitting a straining point, especially with continual high stakes occurring. This was the perfect storm of everything going to pot. Jaden had significant pressure build up over two years (possibly partially through his 3rd year) for him (3 seasons for us). Everything for him broke here, and he then spent the remainder of season 3 and all of season 4 fixing himself while helping his friends continue to grow themselves.

@@RFDN0 I pointed out Chaz again because after brainwashing did he get access to some level of future sight apparently. But even after that was he still far better than anyone else in Duel Academe or pro-duelist invited beside Jaden and Aster. Yubel also still has the Sacred Beast which Jaden so far was never able to overcome on his own. Even in the story we got did he need super poly and the Gentle Darkness to overcome Yubel meaning him going in alone is just suicide at best and the end of all 13 dimensions at worst. The only reason any of this bs in the second half of season 3 even happened is because the writers got lazy and ignore the rules of there own world by not just having the friends duel the monsters that try to capture them despite everything about the logic of the world and the personality of these people would suggest that they would. Hell Alexes and Chaz aren't even new to Shadow games as they fought and even beat a Shadow Riders each back in season 1 all of which were amplified by dark magical items. (hell we see in season 4 even a duel in which Chaz would have beaten Jaden if he wasn't forced to play dumb in the Ojamba custom) And only really Cyrus and Hazelbeerey could be argued to lean on Jaden. Alexis and Chaz did things on there own throughout most of season 1 and 2 (the entire reason Alexes ended up brainwashed is because she took it on her own) with these 2 also having fought and beaten a Shadow Rider each in season 1. And even than did Jaden help Cyrus to get better without leaning on him like in the Paradox brothers duel or when he supported him in his attempt to take the Hell Kaiser on himself. They only relied on Jaden only in story inconsequential filler duels as GX had the bad habit of having the villains demand to face Jaden specifically because he is so special.

Jaden was absolutely in the wrong. It is true that everything he was doing was coming from a good place, simply wanted to save Jesse because he blamed himself for Yubel taking him, and he didn't want to risk his friends as he had kept from them that you die if you lose in the other world. However, the only reason that his friends were even captured in the first place was due to his actions. Jaden began storming strongholds blindly looking for Jesse, never slowing down for his friends. This left them vulnerable for a trap that Goldd and Silva had made by predicting his obvious patterns. Had Jaden relied on his friends more, had he not tried to do everything himself due to his complex, he would have never had to have indirectly killed them.

Dealing with these "pure" emotions really is the most nuanced part of this particular arc. Both Jaden and Cyrus are right in different ways. Jaden goes out on his own to selflessly protect his friends, which is a noble act on its own, but has a flipside: it is prideful and selfish to do so. In this case, he is on paper acting selflessly but in reality acting selfishly because his pride and arrogance have made him reckless. In his mind, he is bearing the responsibility of protecting his friends, which ignores their warnings and wishes and actually costs 4 of them their lives. Instead of going together as a unified front, where they could as equals help and protect each other, Jaden has placed himself above them.

Judai was essentially going there to his death if he went alone, and his friends knew that. He was hyper fixated on saving Johan, and alone he would have ultimately failed. However I agree had they listened to Judai and not followed, they wouldn't have been captured. Both sides were extremely stubborn. But we have to remember they are high schoolers. They were all being manipulated anyway, so it's really nobodies fault. I feel they all did owe Judai an apology which they never gave him. Judai was definitely the biggest victim and he had to burden ALL the grief from this event despite them all sharing the blame. That's why he's so messed up in season 4.

Lets be honest, by this point, it's Judai/Jaden's fault, he could have easily stood his ground said no, and just go on his own.

The series is constantly hammering home that Judai/Jaden is on the wrong, you can disagree, but this is the truth, Judai/Jaden is in the wrong, and later on he even agrees with this, and this isn't gas light, your choices matter just because you initially felt a certain way doesn't change the fact that you change your opinion and took a different choice, and as such you have to deal with the consequences, it's wishy washy to ignore Judai's/Jaden's fault on this.
