[@Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

Yugi is the face of the franchise and Kaiba had the most striking personality, but no character in the original series had as much growth as Joey Wheeler. That counts for so much.

[@serrato8816]

He was real main character and mvp of the series

[@adamkulper4665]

Good job . 4:16

[@fatalsniper3413]

Joey sucked and should’ve just been comedy filler. Him getting so good so fast made him the most unbearable character.

[@ThePuff18]

Ok… but Joey has way too much personality to be discounted.

[@lastswordfighter]

Heresy detected.

[@cliffturbo2146]

One of the most "WTF" moment in Yu-Gi-Oh. They both have the cards to basically become a Living Action Figure and beat each other to a bloody pulp... In a Children's Card Game.

[@demonhunter4492]

May remind you of yugioh 5ds plot card game on motorcycles.

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

I mean... Zexal's plot is that the universe was created from a single trading card and alien kings from space (basically evil power rangers) are try to get that trading card to rewrite reality while our protagonist and his space ghost friend are trying to stop that. Not to mention GX has our protagonist become a genocidal dictator at one point and then later on merging himself with his ladyboi demon-dragon-big-one-tiddy-goth-GF and eventually beating the cosmic entity of death and depression in a children's card game in order for said cosmic entity to un-kill every living being on the planet (which includes all of the Duel Monsters characters, and Season 0/manga-exclusive Yugioh characters. That's right, it is canon that Yugi Moto, Seto Kaiba, and Joey Wheeler are all killed off during the last arc of the show temporarily, due to them all losing a children's card game).

If it wasn't for Storyline. Seeing Joey Vs Yugi, Battle City Finals wouldn't have made sense. If the Duel to same the World would have been the Semifinals instead of the Final Battle. But trust me. I was Soooooo!! Pulling for Joey to Win against Marik, that would have Been Beautiful 😉

[@terryterrific3955]

Valon: The most broken deck that was never officially released.

[@johnnykend5728]

Konami always nerfing cards when they releasing them. Its annoying when they do that. i wish after releasing cards they will leave in their original position(i meant they need stop change effects from anime and keep effects the same as in anime).

[@RandoGrunt]

At the time broken, but there were a few counters and other things that would've screwed over Valon's deck even if it were released as it is during Old School Yugioh. >Being a deck consisting of low powered attack monsters possessing powerful effects, monsters with high attack and that are immune to card destruction effects would have a field day vs this guy. Heck, monsters that negate effects during the battle phase would bypass Black Hole shield although those would not come until later. >Field nukes. Joey exploited this one with Lord of The Red >A Skill Drain would shut down everything outside of magic and trap cards until it was gone from the field.

[@RandoGrunt]

I liked the duel and how Valon is what Joey would've turned out to be had he never had an adorable younger sister who looks up to him and if Yugi never entered his life. I think the duel picked up tremendously when Joey unleashed his Aura Armor and Lord of the Red, just so we can get some good ol' fistcuffs going up!

Believe it or not, I dressed up in Joey's Aura Armor for Halloween in second grade.

[@equivalentexchangeisalie5726]

Just rewatched this duel an hour ago and was reminded why it's been one of my favorites ever since it aired in 2005 (US): The stakes are so good with them both trying to save Mai, the armor cards just seem to fit so well and never striked me as wtf, I loved how they eventually come to respect each other and are pushing each other to their physical and mental limits. And then Valon acknowledging to Mai that he understands what she saw in Joey. And the Orichalcos music taking away his soul but the tune is slowed down and it's just sooooo sad and heartbreaking. Not to mention right after Joey acknowledging Valon for being a good guy and duelist when Mai said he's a loser. Like this is top 5 duels in Yugioh for me and this duel doesn't get enough love. Why I love the Orichalcos season

[@victorrenevaldiviasoto9728]

Women don't care about men problems. Only dudes care about other dudes.

[@lucuador1992]

Although filler with many plotholes, I gotta say this season was really fun.

[@oscarperez5539]

This duel is definitely one of my favorites and really Joey's most impressive victories

[@lucuador1992]

I swear the Orichalcos season did justice to Joey. This guy was getting nothing but wins. I gotta say I had fun watching his battles, seeing what he would fuse with Hermos.

[@JT7Blu]

One of my top favorite duels from the OG Yugioh.

[@equivalentexchangeisalie5726]

Same bro!

[@dklounge7082]

I feel like despite whose side Valon's on, Joey really came to respect him because he saw that Valon legitimately cared for Mai

[@HisashiC]

Yeah, but Alister and Valon would have their anime decks, albeit a bit nerfed because of the 3 zones or another deck of monsters. What worries me is Rafael's Guardian Deck, as it's decent, but quite weak irl. I hope they know how to adapt it.

It’ll be released in one of the sets that’s exclusively un created anime cards but I’m not sure how good they’ll be without the seal of orichalcos giving them 5 more monster zones to use unless they also create extra cards that unlock the rest of its anime effects like they did with RA
