@@philipinoboy1381 It's been a long time so I don't fully remember but I think it was about how some pervs were leaving very inappropriate comments on kids' videos so KZbin got backlash for "not doing anything about it" So KZbin panicked and just disabled comments for all kids' videos (which sounds dumb but how else are you gonna shut people up who don't understand technology and don't understand that it's practically impossible to prevent those comments without preventing other innocent comments)

[@darkerdaemon7794]

I've been playing a lot of GX academy lately on rom, and I never really got into yugioh when I was younger, but it's crazy how closely this anime follows the game, or vice versa. The game centers around these characters and the duel academy, their actual decks are used in the game, and for me, the most annoying duelist has to be the headmaster. He uses flip effect cards like maneater bug, penguin soldier, and hane hane. Which for my ritual deck is annoying. There's nothing worst than tributing 8 level monsters to summon one 8 star that then gets returned to my hand, or ob!iterated, after an monsters flip effect. I guess it's good I use several rituals and ritual monsters, but none of these guys are that hard to fight. Jaden for example, just use a decent amount of spell destroying spells and traps and he's a piece of cake. Zane is pretty tough but it's essentially the same strategy as jaden, only, zane his powerbond limiter removal combo is deadly if he uses it on cyberend dragon. However, only one trap, like an sakuretsu armor, can change that too.

[@mickellopez1792]

Bubbleman's effect in the anime is more op than the real thing, in the anime when you summon Bubbleman, if its the only card in the field you get 2 cards. The card in real life only lets you draw 2 cards if its the only card in your field and hand. Also, Skyscraper in the anime gives all elementals 1000 attack if their attack is fewer than the opposing monsters, Skyscraper from the real card game only gives 1000 attack point boost to elementals with fewer attack points than opposing monster,and that boost only works in your battle phase.

He could have attacked clayman with litmus swordsman and that would have reduced Jaden’s life points to 0. But hey, the main character can’t lose, right 😂

[@Zeradias090]

He cant, if he did that is Litmus swordsman would have 0 atk points, because it gains 3000 as long as a trap card is on the field, if he did activate wingbeat he would have destroyed the trap card that he equipped to blade edge,so is swordsman would have gone back to 0

15:25 if he just attacked Clayman during this turn, Jaden would lose right there.

During the anime, Skyscraper worked in any battle, not just for the attacker.

[@pavelpeev996]

Remember when the stakes are high the main character always wins no matter how good is his opponent bastion litteraly studied his deck and made the perfect strategy to disable jaden's deck but the plot armor was like jaden is the mc jaden must win

[@josephcourtright8071]

Bastion deserved to win this duel.

[@yuiopa8302]

@@josephcourtright8071 exactly, plot armour is so fricking stupid sometimes and yugi had LOTS of it in the last series

Just finished all 4 seasons and Bastion got shafted quickly

[@cervantestheherbalist1291]

At least Jaden lost at least a few times like against Zane and Aster

[@WolvesBaseballNine]

Honestly, creating a counter strategy to your opponents deck is the way to go.

[@Aqwtiny]

Why didn’t Blade edge attack Diamond Dragon and end the duel?

[@Merk1387]

Because skyscraper only works when the attacking monster has less points than the targeted monster, meaning that bladedge would still only have 2600 against diamond dragon

[@EjStylez7]

The real question is why didn't Bastian attack clayman with his 3000 attack monster and win

[@jordandinatale7817]

Jaden used the strategy that Bastion used in his first match we saw in the first episode!!!

[@manunitedforever9922]

Is it just me or does anyone agree that Syrus is by far the most irritating, frustrating and annoying character in this series and maybe the whole franchise? Constantly pessimistic, a lot of the time ruining the moments when Jaden is on fire, like after he summons Bladedge?

[@androzani84productions85]

Man United Forever it’s telling that in a special pack dedicated to GX, he was left off the cover and his Vehicroids weren’t among the included cards.

[@AvalancheZ250]

Man United Forever It’s a TV character trope. It appeals to certain audiences.

[@NICKARRIOLA16]

At first maybe. Then he grew up. ASTER PHOENIX is by far the worst character from this franchise. Always insulting due each and every chance he had because of his father being kidnapped. A cliché is not an excuse to be an asshole every episode

[@mrman7411]

Man United Forever yes

the ultimate aphrodisiac Jaden's dueling skills

[@yorgosalexo7676]

Bastion focused so much on neutralising and countering Jaden's strategy that he didn't quite develop a formidable and solid strategy himself.

[@timzyt63]

This is one of the more unique duels in the series. It's a shame what comes in the next seasons for Bastion

[@303Thatoneguy]

Blade edge is the iron man of the elemental hero’s

The show tries hard to paint the reporter as a bad guy, but Duel Academy absolutely deserves some bad publicity. Kids disappearing, the school's bullying epidemic, teachers with personal agendas. School is kinda shit tbh.

[@sandwhich14]

Lmao so true

[@aros0018]

I feel like there's some irony in the difference between Jaden and Bastion's duel in the anime vs. their duel in the manga spin-off that came years later. In both Bastion came up with a strategy to keep Jaden from using fusions, but in the anime Bastion only keeps Jaden from using specifically Polymerization. Jaden could still have used Fusion Gate or other fusion cards. In the manga, Bastion used cards that prevented Jaden from sending cards from the hand and/or field to the graveyard by methods other than battle, effectively locking down the majority of ways to fuse monsters. So, in the anime, Jaden has many ways he can still fusion summon but wins without it, while in the manga Jaden has almost no ways of fusion summoning but still wins by fusion summoning, just not with monsters in his hand or field.
