There was a misplay by Kagemaru in his first turn. If he set Jar of Greed facedown and activated it during Jaden’s turn, he would have drawn Chain Burst Early. This would allow him to draw one card deeper in his deck throughout the duel. It would also power up Uria to 4K immediately and shut down Tempest from attacking, leaving Kagemaru at full LP, and in control of the duel. One card can make all the difference.

It happens more often that card effects change later on from anime effect to real-life effect. An example in GX would be Thunder Giant, which at first didn't require a discard but later it did.

Many times in early 5Ds, Yusei revives Speed Warrior to tune with Junk Synchron, but doesn't use Junk Synchron's effect to do it. Later in the series, it does have its effect though. It's kind of funny to see what would become such a well known card "misused" early on.

Its wild that Jar of Greed , ONE CARD, basically was the thing that cost Kagemaru the Duel. If he had set it on his first turn and activated it first chance he got, he would have gotten the perfect combo , controlled the duel and ended Jaden before he even got the chance to make a comeback. Granted, its not neccesarily a *missplay* per say since he probably wanted a safety net for Uria and he had no way of knowing the cards he'd draw later in the duel. But its still crazy that *one* card lost him the Duel.

[@dannybeane2069]

Or ya know, playing Mispolymerization. He should have know better considering he must have known about Judai's HEAVY fusion deck. He could have returned Tempest to the extra deck and just nuked him with Uria.

[@janehrahan5116]

Yeah. It's not a missplay. Assuming he had 10 traps and was playing around removal mathematically if Jaiden has removal and he sets jar he outright loses 2/3 games as he loses the sacred beast, can't get the op field spell running ext.

[@osaka_phong]

Assuming the writers were not in a hurry writing this duel, maybe what happens is that Kagemaru is not really a duelist, so he will naturally missplay a lot. If the sacred beasts where in hands of a competent duelist, Jaden would have lost in kagemaru's 2nd turn. All what kagemaru had to do was in his first turn also set jar of greed, tribute it instead of mispolymerization. Use mispoly to bounce Jaden's Tempest next turn, and without anything to protect Jaden and uria with 4000 ATK, it would have been game. Kagemaru would have won easily.

[@filipvadas7602]

​​@@osaka_phong to be fair, Jaden also had *hacks* at the end of the duel with a card that basically let him play 3 cards directly from his deck. PS: Yeah, I think its safe to assume rhat this was one of the Duels the GX writers thought out pretty well, as there are no big dumb misplays for the sake of plot. The Duel feels like it progresses pretty naturally.

[@joseph86255]

Kagemaru continues the trend of the season 1 main villain having broken cards but lackluster skills. On a side note, the duel should have ended with Kagemaru turning to dust due to backlash from the Sacred Beasts' power.

[@GoldRichness]

Kagemaru’s cumulative misplays cost him the duel. Had he activated Jar of greed earlier, he could’ve had more traps he could use to discard.

[@mrummgoat53]

Not really. If he had set jar of greed he wouldn't have had a trap card in hand to special uria back. Plus jar only draws 1 card which means if it wasn't a trap he'd still be in the same position, no uria. Though if he did draw a trap uria wouldn't have been destroyed by neo bubbleman. But as we see he didn't draw a trap so discarding jar for uria was the best move

[@GoldRichness]

@@mrummgoat53 I did say cumulative misplays and the Jar of greed was one of them. The cards he drew would’ve been accelerated by at least a turn and that would’ve led to at least him having more at his disposal since if he activated it on jaden’s turn, he would’ve effectively drew 2 new cards so

[@mrummgoat53]

@@GoldRichness it still would have only accelerated his draws by 1 (even if he activated it on jadens turn) which would not have been worth losing uria. He even says it at the end of the video, they both played the best possible game they could have

[@filipvadas7602]

To be fair, I wouldn't call not putting down Jar of Greed a misplay per say since he had no clue what else he would draw, so it makes sense that he wanted a safety net for Uria in case Jaden pulled smth out of his arse which tbf ended up happening. Still, its wild that if he *had* done, he probably would have won as he would have one more trap in the GY, drawn Hamon a turn earlier and would have completely controlled the duel and ended Jaden before he got Flute of Summoning Kuriboh.

[@janehrahan5116]

@@GoldRichness Why don't yugioh players know what the word "misplay" means. With the information he had, setting jar was statistically the wrong play, that it would have turned out better doesn't make it a misplay.

[@snowboundwhale6860]

Considering how the Sacred Beasts are DIVINE/Divine-Beast in the anime, and recalling the inconsistencies of the Egyptian God Cards' effects, I'd be down for it being a matter of "user interpretation" for Uria's inconsistency. Your theory for the EGC effects a few years ago was that they were "incomplete" and "completed by their users", who's interpretation of the flavour text mascaraing as effect text was what defined their exact effects, e.g. Obelisk's "The opponent will be damaged" becoming 4000 effect damage in Kaiba's hands. With the anime Sacred Beasts also being Divines, I could see there being an element of this at play. It's not necessary but it would conveniently explain things like Kagemaru's Uria destroying all traps, but only traps, while Yubel's destroys both spells & traps, but one at a time. Yubel's Uria only growing with continuous traps in grave compared to Kagemaru's version working with any kind of trap would also fit into this.

[@ColeMeCrazy]

Looking back at this duel review, it's funny that Elemental Hero Electrum was the one finished off Professor Banner & Kagemaru. Upon Banner's defeat, he gave a card to Jaden that would power up him and defeat Kagemaru. Also, I would like to see if Professor Banner could've beaten Jaden review.

They should’ve let Uria in the TCG/OCG Be special summoned by sending continuous traps on your field, regardless of its position to make it easier to summon. They could’ve added its anime effect to resurrect itself but probably by banishing a trap from his GY instead of discarding a trap.

I'm surprised you didn't make a bigger deal about Kagemaru drawing cemetery bomb. Now granted most of the traps he plays this duel in the context of the episode are just there for flavor, they only exist to summon and re-summon Uria. But had he waited and used it later, especially after Jaden halfs his own lp, I think he just wins right away by activating it.

[@kyuubinaruto17]

It could be something similar to Marik with his Slifer deck in that he just wants to overpower through sheer force. Before Yugi's infinite draw play I believe Marik had 12 cards in hand. If none of those were a summonable monster or a monster destroyer then his deck must be awful outside of his God combo. Most likely he COULD have ended Yugi earlier, but he just wanted him to squirm helplessly against the inevitable by only relying on Slifer and his increasing attack points. Oh, yeah, and he also gains power specifically through having his sacred beasts deal damage right?

Luckily Lumus only used it on his partner to make a major gamble because he stopped trusting him.

[@remnantreacts9845]

Actually Uria's anime effect on the wiki page you showed us just states that Uria can't use it face down destruction effect on the turn it revives and due to Jaden constantly destroying it throughout the duel Uria doesn't spam it to instantly win Kagemaru the Duel.

[@TGSAnime]

I think that was the Wiki trying to justify why Kagemaru wants destroying Jadens set cards. There are a few turns in this duel where it’s effect is available but he still doesn’t destroy the set spell cards. Obviously I could be wrong, but from how the duel played out it’s the explanation that I personally think is correct.

[@remnantreacts9845]

Hey TGS I don't comment much but I wanted to just tell you how much I appreciate your videos. The amount of work that must go into these is insane, and they are always a 10/10. I will forever be looking forward to your videos with notifications on. Thank you for all you do!

[@pikagammerpluspizza7478]

I wish Banner used Sabatiel during his duel with Jaden since his deck is so spell reliant but it would have also been a good foreshadowing if Jaden was given Sabatiel at the end of that duel.

[@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024]

Yes! That duel was so fun!

[@shadexvii3975]

2:17 I think it’s worth noting that, if Kagemaru had set his jar of greed face down on turn 1, and sent it instead of mis polymerization, he could have won on his second turn by using it against Jaiden. Alternatively, if he had set Jar of greed and activated it when Jaiden declared his attack with tempest, Uris would have 4k mid battle, and destroyed tempest, leaving Jaiden with nothing. So he had two ways he could have won from the very beginning

[@Georgesbarsukov]

I bet there are multiple ways to OTK with a card like that. It's literally 3 of whatever card you want all in the same turn and then a damage boost that you can also play in the same turn. Whether it's something like summoning 5 attack position tokens and attacking one or destroying you opponent's board to prevent an OTK or just plain assembling any of the many OTK combos, it just makes it too easy.

[@CharmCityGamer]

This is always an awesome duel to revisit, thanks TGS!

[@ChaosCreator4395]

Just saying for vid idea Zone vs Yusei Cause there is one moment that really bugged me, Somewhere round the mid point in there duel Zone has 3 timelords on his field, including Zaphion which has the ability to get rid of one of Yusei’s key cards, Scrap iron scarecrow. So he declares an attack with Zaphion but for some reason tells Yusei exactly what she does so he can negate the attack with scrap iron scarecrow, this would be fine if it wasn’t for later in the duel when Yusei has a realisation that he should save scrap iron scarecrow till the second attack So basically if Zone hadn’t of told Yusei what Zaphion did, he wouldn’t have scrap iron Scarecrow to negate attack of Sandaion the Timelord later in the duel, meaning he would of taken 4k damage and could of potentially lost the duel EDIT: Just realised that Yusei had Synchro keeper but in hindsight it changes nothing since he would of had to use it to negate the effect damage of Raphion, otherwise he would of lost

Awesome videos as always TGSanime. I hope to see an analysis video on Team 5ds vs Team Ragnarok in the future, as since alot was going during that duel and could potentially seeing it play out different should some card be played in different orders.

[@cblazerc]

for once, they played the best games they could. no wonder this duel always felt special to me as a kid.

[@mayborneflower]

There was one thing Kagemaru could’ve don’t differently to win. Set Cemetery Bomb and activate it. It’s a card that hurts the opponent 100 LP times each card in their GY at activation. Judai had 600 LP at the point it was drawn and way more than six cards stocked.

That Philosopher's stone card sounds amazing. If it's just any spell card in your deck, then you can still get (if they weren't banned) Graceful Charity or Pot of Greed, any Ritual spell card, any fusion spell card, any field spell card, Moster Reborn/Reincarnation etc.

[@rodhgaralto]

it can become any card

[@vala32]

Here's one for you: if I remember right, in the 5D's final duel, Yusei could have won with the burn effect of Speed World 2.

[@redwardranger7034]

I think Bubbleman also got an errata in the anime because I do believe it once allowed Jaden to just draw 2 cards upon summon, even when his field isn't empty or he has cards in his hands. I may be wrong tho, but I'm sure Thunder Giant once had an effect where it just destroy a monster on the field, then a monster with ATK equal or lower to it, then it finally required a discard. Also my DP is Electrum's chest symbol

[@naruhinanatzaforver9298]

I think the reason about Uria effect change is due to private knowledge. If the opponent sets a spell, and Uria effect isn't allowed to activate, it's user will know the facedown is a spell. You isn't suppose to know what's facedown till it is flipped face up, and Uria unable to destroy a facedown spell will give basically public knowledge. So, even if the set card is a known spell, they changed it to destroy both spell and trap cards, as long as they're facedown.

[@roninwarriorsfan]

Kagemaru should have set Jar of Greed before Jaden's Heated Heart turn. He would've been able to draw pot of Greed during the battle phase, then he would have drawn his later cards much sooner

[@TheKpa11]

Jar to get pot

[@drewalexander6024]

True. But he didn't know that and was saving the trap for reviving Uria. If it was destroyed and had no Traps in his hand, he would have lost a Sacred Beast. I think he made the best move in his situation.

[@IrvinCascade]

I feel like Kagemaru may have... "forgotten" to shuffle his deck... 'cause holy sh**

[@jtyler9130]

This duel should be in the dictionary description for plot armour. Jaden getting a card that activates 3x, gives him whatever he wants then multiplies his monsters attack to a level that would win most duels

Do Revolver vs Soulburner next. There's a theory that Revolver could of beaten Soulburner but chose not to.

[@christopherb501]

*could HAVE!

[@velvetbutterfly]

Because the description says "used" or "resolved" I think it has to be an effect. It can't be a monster per se, but it could become an Effect monster, use the effect for the turn, and then goes back to its original card.

[@jj209th6]

If jaden had banished 4 traps and hamon, he would've taken 200 damage and destroyed uria via neo bubbleman's effect, and without hamon raviel can't be summoned this turn, so jaden would shining flare wingman for game next turn against the freshly revived uria

[@jj209th6]

I do understand he didn't know about kagemaru's Spell, but he DOES know that kagemaru needs the sacred beasts out for his plan to absorb duel spirits to reach completion, and Uria had a revival effect related to its summon condition, so banishing hamon seems like a good idea

Remembering this duel makes me angry at how mistreated the Sacred Beasts were when they were first printed. If they had those effects, they would probably still be viable today. It also sucks that their support got power crept so fast.

[@CartoonKarma]

On Uria getting retconned with its real-life effect; this actually happens a decent bit in the GX anime. The anime writers make a new card, but being conscious of the bandits and the real-life game's mechanics, will often make it only as powerful as it needs to be for that duel's specific play-by-play, or add activation requirements that would make it impractical in the real world. Yet due to power creep or the real-world designers having a better handle on play testing before a new set, they would often add an extra effect. Uria is one such example, releasing in Japan just three-and-a-half months after this episode. Uria just caught you off guard because unlike the examples I list below, it's anime card wiki page wasn't split into two separate versions. Guess no contributor's caught that! Sometimes the reverse happens, like with Ancient Gear Golem's Normal Summoning-only restriction that wasn't in the anime at first (though it took until Season 2 for the update to be definitive in the anime). Or Future Fusion switching from its original instant-summon-yet-tribute-lock-and-equip-destruction-downside to the familiar real-life pre-errata effect. The anime writers largely only avoid these retcons when they know the card will be recurring and need its anime effect, like Skyscraper's two-way ATK boost or Bubbleman only needing your field to be empty (man, Jaden would have been screwed in so many duels if he had to have an empty hand for that! More notably, in Duel Monsters, going into Season 4/the Doma arc, the writers changed virtually every card they didn't need to keep the original effect of to match the real-world effect (also notable for the cards in the Japanese now matching the newer Series 3 layout we in the West know).

[@rodhgaralto]

it should be specified that future fusion had an errata 5 years later

[@CartoonKarma]

@@rodhgaralto That was stated: “to the real life pre-errata effect”. It’s a well known enough card for that shorthand to have sufficed.
