[@nananamamana3591]

For those who don't know, either because they're outside of the Yugioh Competitive Community or, for some reason, you're in the year 3088 and all record of Jeff Leonard has been turned to dust -- Jeff Leonard is (at the time writing) one of the most well regarded Yugioh players in the modern day. Jeff is a man in his 60s who made a name for himself in 2019 running Wave Motion Cannon/Mystic Mine Lock where he had *ONLY* 3 monster cards in his entire main deck (D.D Guide) where his strategy was to essentially prevent you from playing the game, while Wave Motion Cannon built up charge to blow you away, and in 2023 he won with *EXODIA* against a well recognized player in the competitive yugioh scene (Justin Singh). As Jeff is an older man, using very off-meta decks and winning he has made a name for himself in the yugioh community, both casually and competitively, and the meme is that his probably about as close to "Yugi's Grandpa IRL" as we've ever seen.

[@WhiteManOnCampus]

Also, it's good to include that he picked up Yugioh to spend more time with his son and just so happened to have a talent for putting together weird decks.

He was undefeated until the 5th round. This video was based on that match. Kaiba stopping Yugi's combo with Kelbek actually happened, and Jeff's opponent also reminded him to add back the equip spell off of Renaud's effect. The protags and Joey chanting "ONE MORE PIECE, ONE MORE PIECE!" actually happened at the venue, where there was a huge crowd gathered around to watch Exodia being played at a high-level tournament. They started the chant in game 3, after Jeff resolved Blue Dragon Summoner's effect the 3rd time, adding him the third limb of Exodia. Since Jeff had earlier added the head, he had 4 pieces of Exodia in his hand, so the crowd was cheering him on to finish his combo.

(Standard, commander, draft, starter deck) whereas ygo hasn't started a single new format in 20 years (I guess duel links and master duel but they are digital only). Also what makes yugioh really broken is lack of resources. You can draw and summon your whole deck turn 1 and then they ban ftks and otks...

Thank you, Jeff Leonard, for inspiring Yugi to pull off a win in a losing spot.

It is so fun to see Yami to use pendulum cards cause obviously he would use it somehow cause most of them are magician. And he LOVE every magician cards

[@fruitybluieblue098]

You probably foreshadow new Blue-Eyes and Dark Magician support. Dark Magician tapping into Pendulum and Blue-Eyes tapping into Links.

@@fruitybluieblue098 I like your thought on this. Blue eyes inclines to link summon is the possible route cause obviously Kaiba will associated with technology,as link summoning depicted like a circuit board

@@sofarsogood8680 Give Blue eyes a Link 1 that needs a level 1 light tuner to summon that can special summon a blue-eyes from deck would be pretty decent support.

Followed up eventually by "Flame Swordman my main monster" "Hey that's my monster."

[@THISISYOUTUUUUUUUUBE]

I love the fact that one of the Exodia pieces is a different art. The Left Leg has the Spellbinding Circle behind it, while the rest is the original Star art. Very relatable in trying to get all your cards with the same art.

[@HORRIOR1]

Okay this is the first video in a very long time to make me gut laugh several times XD

[@Xhalonick]

After a week to think about it, this is my all time favorite yugioh video. Made a legendary moment even more legendary lol

[@tylerjones9017]

I’m glad that even the admittedly more convoluted/complex game states of modern yugioh can easily still imagined between og characters like this, and have just as entertaining interactions. Considering the OCG structures manga exists, I hope Konami would think about doing more stuff like that

[@Fencer_Nowa]

This captures the absurd nature of this duel but also with the more absurd aspects of the anime. It's such high quality

[@ivanbluecool]

Yugi: now watch me win with my dark magician deck Joey: but you don't Run one of those cards. Yugi: I know. But I named it dark magician

[@snowboundwhale6860]

Yugi: Joey, what is Exodia's attribute? Joey: DARK? Yugi: Right, and what's it's type? Joey: Spellcaster... Yugi: Indeed, and what's another term for a spellcaster? Joey: ...Yug I don't think it works like that.

[@ericwallace1484]

Most "Old yugioh but playing yugioh as it is now" skits are really negative. It's nice to see a lighthearted (and excellently done) take on the concept.

[@bakuhakudraws5603]

I absolutely lost it at 'These two roommates' when Isolde was summoned.

8:33 lol my mans got that one random English OG Left Leg, that really made my laugh

Its really funny cause Yugi only emphasized that the Left Leg was unstoppable. As if Exodia just had a really mean left kick and nothing else lmaoo

[@theblan1k0ne]

@@DrDrao so why did no one comment abt it?

[@DrDrao]

@@theblan1k0ne Because it was so obvious. Nobody's commented that it's a KZbin video either. Does that mean nobody realised what platform we're on? It's not a subtle Easter egg. The entire video, from the Jeff cameo, to the characters chanting "One more piece" to the fact that the combo itself is extremely recognizable, is a fairly obvious nod to the feature match.
