Was Yubel About To Defeat Jaden? [Return Of The Supreme King]

[@spoonflaps12]

The entire first part of the real Yubel vs Jaden duel is an homage to historic Japanese wedding procedures. The rose, the tapestry, and the lotus... Considering how much Yubel "loves" him, it's excellent writing!

[@lolosh99]

And at the end there was “the union”

Wow, I never knew that. That's indeed very excellent writing. ^^ And to think GX gets so much hate over itself because a lot of the episodes are shitty. =(

I always did think that Yubel’s deck was weirdly random. This explains a lot.

[@Animelover3819]

Sorry if this turns out to be a double post saying the same thing considering it seems like KZbin ate my first post to me, the duel actually takes a lot more inspiration from a Jewish wedding than a Japanese one, although it might be a mix of the two.

[@rushalias8511]

Yeah...your opponent can't respond but luckily they had enough foresight to activate the cards before you and not tell you.

[@liamwhite3522]

The trap card Yubel activated just before Super poly was Chain Material, which has the effect to allow them to use any card in hand, field, grave and deck to fusion summon. Jaden chaining Spiritual Fusion off that makes 100% sense.

[@MrSyltphademus]

Which even that wouldn't work, since Yubel can just activate Super Poly in response.

[@analoghabits9217]

​@@liamwhite3522 if she chained super poly to her trap, it will resolve b4 chain material, so she would need to be using super poly in a new chain which would then be done with unstoppable priority. If jaden chained to her trap, she could just set super poly & use on his turn. That effect of super poly was literally impeding the plot beat so they just forced the narrative around it. For his card to activate 1st, she had to pass priority after chain material resolves, either on resolution or during neutral main phase

[@munchrai6396]

In this example it can be argued that it doesn't really make much difference because it is very likely that Yubel would've activated Super Poly even if she knew about the trap. It still solves their main motivation that being their isolation, it just does it in a way that no one would've even conceived. The scene is played more for shock value than conscious character choice, which is a bit of a shame. I am curious to see how Super Poly is handled in other duels where the plot isn't so specifically guiding the duel. Even in the first duel, Jaden's goal was never to win the duel, it was simply to get Yubel to let go of his friend by giving her Super Poly and hoping that works out in the end

[@unknownwolf1402]

Same here

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

For the second duel, Jaden doesn't cheat. He summoned Twinkle Moss how he was supposed to, using Glow Moss and NEX. Neo Space Wave, from what I can tell, lets you summon Neo-Spacians who's attack do not exceed half of the attack of the monsters you sent to the graveyard from the effect. Glow Moss was still a legal choice as it was the only non-Extra Deck Neo-Spacian besides Flare Scarab that could have been picked, and it was the better choice as Flare Scarab's effect would be more detrimental against Yubel's. With Twinkle Moss Jaden has a chance to block the damage by switching it to defense mode(trap card), just ending the battle phase(monster card), or make Yubel's attack be a direct attack instead(spell card) based on what car Jaden draws from Twinkle Moss's effect. Thus Jaden didn't cheat and actually made the smartest play possible with Neo Space Wave.

Keep in mind that Jaden's goal in both duels was never to win, but rather to free Jessie and the Crystal Beasts in the first duel and ultimately help Yubel in the second duel. Could he have won earlier? Yes absolutely, but Jessie was still under Yubel's control at the time and even if his spirit was in Rainbow Dark Dragon his body would've been sent to the stars should Yubel have lost which wasn't acceptable. Also, at 7:53, remember that in the anime Winged Kuriboh negates all damage for the rest of the turn after it's destroyed, including damage from the attack that would've destroyed it. If this wasn't the case, Jaden would've lost his very first duel against Crowler after he attacked Winged Kuriboh with Ancient Gear Golem.

Yubel shows herself to be a very skilled duelist who relies on a deck that is more than the sum of its parts thanks to how she combines a number of cards that would otherwise appear useless, so it's hilarious to think that while Judai played an amazing game at the end of the season and could have won if he desired, a big contributor to his victory was that his opponent was getting so many awful draws. Regardless this is part of why I love Yubel's duels, she uses a lot more skill rather than broken cards like the last two big villains. Writing wise I find that since Yubel was using Spell Chronicle to get the cards she needed, the writers weren't thinking much about the cards she was drawing.

[@HussainAkoumFilm]

That’s the reason why Z-ARC in arc-V wasn’t an effective villain. He talked a big game about being the best duelist in the verse, when he wasn’t actually very skilled and just relied on overpowered cards throughout his duels.

As a German, I just gotta give props to the Japanese names of Yubel in translation. The second stage, Terror Incarnate, is named "Das Abscheulich Ritter" in Japanese, which roughly translated means "The Foul/Disgusting Knight". The third stage, from memory, is "Das Extremer Traurig Drachen" which, again as a ROUGH translation barring grammar, is "The Extremely Sad Dragon", both names which play off of Yubel's emotions, where she asks Jaden if he thinks that she must be such a great monster (not the Duel Monster definition) to him.

[@arlaxazure486]

This duel with Yubel (and the revelation behind the Supreme King) awakened my love for the "Redeemed Demon" story troupe. So many seemingly "evil" forces on the surface spawned from good intention, albeit a bit on the evil extreme. The Gentle Darkness was corrupted later on but initially served as the force to stop The Light from annihilating everything (and resumed to do so when Jaden had control over it). Yubel was KIND OF on the same track but was consumed with anger by being separated from Jaden, so she kind of- sort of went on a path of vengence to both be with Jaden forever and stop The Light from achieving its goal (can't destroy anything if there's nothing to destroy). Irrational? Yes. Absolutely. But still~ Using the darkness as a force of 'good' (subjective) will be my forever weakness.

[@lolaandjoe123]

If you like a redeemed demon storyline, I cannot recommend Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous enough. There's a succubus companion called Arueshalae is best girl, you can recruit her and depending on choices either redeem her soul or corrupt her to embracing her demonic nature. Her romance is a strong point of the game but it's a ton of fun in all aspects :D

[@bladersmosh]

I always wondered what possible outcomes the second duel would’ve gone to if Jaden changed the order of what cards to add to Yubel’s hand through Spell Chronicle. Say for example, Jaden choose Mystical Space Typhoon over Zero Sprite the first time? Jaden had no set cards and only Spark Blaster so even if she used MST on it, nothing of value would’ve been lost. Plus, not being able to attack twice through Zero Sprites effect would have saved Jaden some LP.

[@GoldRichness]

I don’t think it would’ve made too much of a difference in the grand scheme since the outcome would’ve likely been the same anyway

[@meganmartin3373]

After thinking on this matter a lot, here are my conclusions. tl;dr: - Picking Grinder Golem as anything except the first card is basically a death sentence. - Picking either Fiend Rose or MST earlier than third is necessary for Yubel to survive Rainbow Neos, but not picking either of them leads to Jaden losing before Rainbow Neos can be played. - Ironically, picking Super Poly early is objectively the best move. One thing to note, first of all: In any timeline, if Jaden ever realizes that he could set Spiritual Fusion and then sacrifice it to have Rainbow Neos spin Yubel's backrow, then he wins, no questions asked. But since he never actually uses this effect at any point throughout any of Rainbow Neos's anime appearances, let's assume for the time being that the anime version just doesn't have this effect for some reason. - Picking MST or Fiend Rose as the first and/or second card: Doesn't actually change much, surprisingly. The duel plays out basically the exact same way, except that Jaden has up to 2000 extra LP at any given time (which affects nothing, since the only time he was facing lethal in canon was when he was down to 200 LP and Yubel was about to ram into the 4500-ATK Rainbow Neos; having 2200 LP instead wouldn't have saved him anyway). There are only two conceivable points of divergence: One, Yubel might get trigger happy and waste MST on something like Neo Signal, which would draw things out and potentially cost them the game; and two, when Jaden attacks with Rainbow Neos, Yubel could chain MST to destroy Rainbow Veil, keeping Terror Incarnate's effect live and causing Jaden to lose immediately. - Picking Grinder Golem first: Now, this one is a little interesting. In the anime, Grinder Golem doesn't cost you your Normal Summon when you play it, so Yubel could summon it on their next turn and immediately tribute the Grinder Tokens to summon Yubel. This leaves the two Regenerating Rose Tokens to play with, and they both have 1200 ATK. This opens up a potential alternate line of play where Yubel attacks Avian and Burstinatrix with those Tokens, leaving Jaden to only have two monsters when he uses Neospace Wave. Eventually that trickles down to Yubel, after getting rid of Air Hummingbird, having no choice but to attack Twinkle Moss to try and do damage; that makes Jaden draw his next card early (Elemental HERO Neos, so the battle phase ends immediately), and in turn gives him one additional card to work with than what he had in canon (his deck was shuffled from using Prisma's effect, so we don't actually know what he would have drawn after Neos). From here the duel would enter the realm of pure speculation, but even in the worst case of drawing a brick, he could still summon Prisma via Fake Hero and continue down the canon progression of events with no repercussions. - Picking Zero Sprite second: There is no outcome where this goes well. Jaden will always have a slight LP buffer compared to canon, but Terror Incarnate being able to attack twice means that Jaden's one Necro Gardna won't be able to stop it from hitting Rainbow Neos and costing him the game. - Picking MST or Fiend Rose first and Grinder Golem second: Remember that 2000 LP buffer from a few options back? Yeah... In the best case scenario, where Yubel summons Grinder Golem immediately, that's now a 400 LP deficit compared to canon, and Jaden will actually lose if he ever gives Yubel an opportunity to attack Prisma (suddenly that Fake Hero topdeck from attacking with Twinkle Moss is looking mighty auspicious). And of course, if they wait and instead only summon Grinder Golem after Terror Incarnate hits the field, it becomes even worse, since on top of the extra damage, being able to pop the Grinder Tokens as well as Samsara Lotus means they can also take out Jaden's whole field, save Aqua Dolphin, in one go. At this point, Jaden has 900 LP and no means of drawing cards, and if he tries to wait until drawing Neos to make his power play, there will be at least one turn where he has no monsters at all. Granted, Terror Incarnate can't actually damage him in that scenario, but if even one of Yubel's cards _isn't_ actually a brick, then Jaden is doomed. - Picking Zero Sprite first and Grinder Golem second: Actually the worst combination. Yubel summons Grinder Golem in attack mode and immediately double attacks for 6000 damage, winning the duel in about half as many turns as canon. - While I'm at it, picking Grinder Golem third or fourth: Also bad ideas. If picked third, Terror Incarnate's effect is still negated during the Battle Phase so Yubel can't just ram into it for game, but it still destroys the Grinder Tokens in the End Phase and takes out Rainbow Neos with this effect, leaving Jaden helpless (unless Yubel's entire six-card hand consists of nothing but bricks, but would you be willing to bet all of existence on that possibility if you were in Jaden's shoes?). And of course, if picked fourth, then Yubel just summons it and swings for game on their next turn. - If MST is an option for the third but you pick anything else: Actually irrelevant. If the other option is Fiend Rose, Jaden has lost already; if it's Grinder Golem, MST is actually the less punishing pick; and if it's Zero Sprite, there is never a situation after this point where the ability to double attack would change anything. - If Super Poly is picked at all: This seems counterintuitive, but is almost certainly the best option. Yubel can't actually use Super Poly for the omnicidal table flip they call a win condition until they have Chain Material on the field, and they don't draw Chain Material until very late into the duel. Until then, it's a completely dead card, while almost every other option is actively detrimental to Jaden in some way. Thus, picking Super Poly earlier in the duel would have given Jaden some much-needed breathing room, potentially even winning him the game (for example, picking Zero Sprite for the first card and Super Poly for the second would have left Yubel with no defense when Jaden tried his Rainbow Neos play).

Throughout season 3 of GX, Yubel was just shown to be a better duelist than Jaden in all 3 duels they've been in. Their first duel, which wasn't part of this analysis, Jaden needed Jesse's help to defeat Yubel. Jaden's duel with the Yubel possessed Jesse ended with a tie, and Jaden's final duel with Yubel was never finished, and Jaden definitely needed the power of the supreme king to have a chance to win.

18:32 the Wiki translated wrong probably, in Yugipedia it doesnt include any matter of ATK but rather a random Neo-Spacian, since as we seen in Judai's duel against Saio (Episode 170), Judai tried to activate Neospace Wave to send Arcana Force 0 - The Fool to the GY (0 ATK) but it was unaffected. Also, let's not forget that the card's text was too small to read. Another thing I found, the set card that you thought was M Force was changed to be Prism Wall as it was a mistake in the Yugipedia that assumed it was M Force.

[@lpfan4491]

That's WIkia for ya. It should never be used as reference material for anything if another wiki exists.

[@dragonfire3727]

19:40 what i think happened here is that card allows you to special summon half of the monsters attacks as in max value for example if jaiden surpassed half of 3800 atk=1900 value of special summon monster it would be illegal but it's fine going below it at 1700 summon monsters atk didn't surpass the allowed maximum value of 1900.

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

I'll say that it wouldn't have mattered if Jaden won or not in that first duel, since all Yubel wanted was Super Polymerization. Even if Jaden won the duel she'd still have the card, her last trap was just to cover her escape since she knew Jaden would save Jesse from the blast. When the opponent's only goal was to get a specific card and not whether they win or lost the duel, then there's not much reason to dissect and point out mistakes. The only thing that would matter is if Jaden would use Super Polymerization or not. If he does Yubel wins, and if he doesn't then he wins. That was the only choice in the first duel that actually would make a difference.

[@pokeperson1000]

I’m a little late in saying this, but the anime version of Winged Kuriboh seems to also apply to the battle it was destroyed in, as evidenced by Ancient Gear Golem not dealing piercing damage when destroying Winged Kuriboh all the way back in Jaden’s first duel against Crowler.

[@solidzack]

With Gate Guardian in her deck there's no way to tell what the hell she had in her deck. She might've pulled out Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth at any time, we never know

[@zexalbrony4799]

The final Duel between Jaden and Yubel has always been like my personal favorite Duel, the emotions and the story behind it are great, and the Duel itself is a nice back and forth with both Duelists being about even. Also, on a side note, I've tried Spiritual Fusion on EDOPRO and it doesn't work like you think it would from the anime. It only lets you choose the Fusion Material, not change the Fusion Summon, so if you're opponent summons something with specific materials you can't really do anything, so for example, if your opponent plans to fusion summon Flame Wingman unless they have another copy of Avian or Burstinatrix in hand or a monster like Swamp King that can be used as a substitute, then you can't really alter which cards they use. But this is the anime, so assuming this worked, then Jaden could have fused Neos and Yubel to make Neos Wiseman like you said, but the question is would it go to Jaden's Feild or Yubel's? If Jaden then he wins the next turn probably, but if Yubel, then Jaden would be in trouble as he'd have no monsters or cards on the field, and assuming he was playing with a 40 card deck, maybe 41 if he just added Rainbow Dragon without taking anything else out, then he'd only have 11 or 12 cards left in his Deck, (with four of those cards being Avain, Burstinatrix, Sparkman, and Prisma) leaving him with few resources to deal with Neos Wiseman.

[@rusto_]

32:22 I had always thought they were just playing Gate Guardian/other monsters of a variety of levels just as bricks/garnets for Super Poly. I don't doubt all 3 Sacred Beasts were in there as Yubel's deck is a decently well rounded mix of materials for those cards (wouldn't be surprised if Triangle Force was in the deck, that could have been one of the bricks in hand as the backrow was full), and they already had shown their ability to control the Sacred Beasts in the duel vs Amon (which I'd love to see a video about). I could see Yubel having them as a backup plan if everything didn't go right. Maybe a couple Sacred Beasts, Triangle Force, Delta Barrier, Gate Guardian, and two other bricky materials for the Super Fusion God. Just my thoughts.

[@Trixbeat]

You know the funny thing? The 3 stages of yubel are levels 10, 11 and 12, so she never had to run gate guardian.

[@dancostello4872]

The best thing about the Yubel x Jaden arc is the fact it was set up & foreshadowed from as early as Episode 5, we just didn't know it at the time. Also to everyone saying Yubel would've won because Spiritual Fusion wouldn't have given Jaden possession of the Fusion Summoned monster, while you're correct about the latter part consider this: Super Polymerization was activated during her MP2 so she couldn't have gone for game that turn no matter what. Furthermore, please note that Jaden had already made his decision to try & save Yubel by merging their spirits via his Spiritual Fusion so he intentionally chose Super Polymerization to facilitate that (otherwise he'd have chosen Grinder Golem instead since he knew Yubel couldn't risk using it; the tokens come out in ATK Mode on her field). Obviously one could make the counter argument that Super Polymerization can't be responded to and he knows that (which is true) but here's the thing... he *also* knows her ultimate goal is to use their duel to fuse the 12 dimensions (by fusing 12 monsters together to make Super Fusion God) _and_ that Super Polymerization only fuses monsters on the field. Keep in mind the EMZ didn't exist yet so the field could only hold 10 monsters at this time; it was impossible for her to fulfil her plan without a card like Chain Material i.e something to loosen her fusion parameters so she could also use material from elsewhere. Given those facts, it's logical for Jaden to recognise she needs to use a setup card like that _first_ for her plan to work, which would also be the time for him to chain Spiritual Fusion without fear (he knows she won't chain Super Polymerization in response because of the whole 'chains resolve backwards' thing & she needs her setup card to have already resolved). Ultimately it doesn't matter because everything worked out in the end (unless you're a dub only guy lmao) but the point is it's not cut & dry like everyone else seems to think.

[@DeevlishInc]

The bricks in her hand were just some of the level 1 ~ 12 monsters she wanted to fuse with the Super Poly + Chain Material combo. If she had of played any of them; she would of risked them getting destroyed, or banished prematurely (as Chain Material & Super Poly together can't fuse Banished or GY zoned cards). The cards in her hand start to glow after she activates Super Poly, indicating they would indeed be used as fusion materials in the fusion summoning. We don't know which of the monsters were in her hand, but we do know what they "could have been".

[@Nemo12417]

A huge misplay by Jaden that kept him from outright winning the final duel against Yubel. During the turn when he summoned Rainbow Neos, he should not have put Neos on the field with Fake Hero (unless the anime requires both monsters be on the field for that Fusion Summon). Instead he should have done the fusion, then set Fake Hero and use it as fodder to activate Rainbow Neos' second effect. This would get rid of Spell Chronicle and Yubel's set Fiend Rose. Then he could use Rainbow Veil to attack for game.

[@KinoGeno]

In the anime, Winged Kuriboh also blocked damage its user took from the battle involving Winged Kuriboh, not just the damage that takes place after it. That's not specific to Winged Kuriboh though, the anime handles damage differently. The monsters are destroyed first and then damage is dealt. Which means Winged Kuriboh's effect is able to activate before the user takes damage from the attack. Example being in literally the first episode. Crowler attacks Defense Position Winged Kuriboh with Ancient Gear Golem, which should inflict piercing damage, but Winged Kuriboh's effect blocks it.

I would like to mention the thing you said at the end, how Jaden could have won with Wiseman. I personally don't believe that Wiseman would be summoned to his side of the field since it's Yubel who uses SuperPoly. On the card (at least on the wiki) it only says you can choose the Fusion Materials, not that you get the monster summoned, so what I believe is that Yubel got Wiseman but she didn't care and forfeited the duel instead of attacking Jaden.

[@demfrodegroot7596]

In the second duel, I think something that you might have missed. Jaden gets to choose what monsters are being fused together, but he does not steal the monster, Yubel would still have control of the newly formed Neos Wiseman, and thus would be the only one left with a monster on the field. This means she would be the winner of the duel.

I read Japanese and I looked up the card on the Japanese Yugioh wiki and it just says that you send all monsters you control to the graveyard and then summon a different Neo-Spacian for each monster sent to the graveyard. However, it doesn't mention about having to have more Neo-Spacians in your deck than monsters you control which is clearly readable on the card in episode 170. From what I can make out of the blurry card text in episode 154 it doesn't look it mentions anything about the monsters' attack, and that text probably couldn't fit behind Jaden's thumb covering the text.

7:15 GX anime rulings say that piercing is inflicted AFTER the monster is destroyed, so Winged Kuriboh would still activate regardless if M force was used.
