Most hated thing about Yu-Gi-Oh

[Sleepy]

Too many things to list.

 

-How all generations are machist. With all the female characters falling behind or not playing at all.

*How Anzu kept hanging around the main characters despite never really picking up the game herself. I mean, do they think we are just cheerleaders?

*How Aki started becoming useless in every way after she stopped being "unhappy". Loosing her psychic powers, never getting a Signer Dragon upgrade, having her place pretty much stolen by Crow, being blatantly stated as "chair warmer" in an ending.

*What I saide about Anzu, applies to Kotori.

*Cherry never had a purpose.

*Ruka/Luka/Luna never won a single Duel on her own despite being a signer. Yuma is barely 1 year older than what she was on 5ds so, age is no excuse when signers are supposed to be "gifted" to begin with.

 

-Z-One not actually being Yusei.

 

-Yusei's invensibility.

*He never lost a single Duel with concequences. . . . or on-screen for that matter.

*Against Jack. Jack willingly gave Stardust back (even if Yusei didn't accept).

*Against Kiryu, wtf? If Kiryu wanted to kill Yusei, he should have finished the job. If Yusei's D-Wheel's malfunction didn't make him legitly loose, then the game should have kept going. If it DID make him officially loose, why does he still have his life? If beating them does not take away their lives, what's the point of "Dueling them for revenge?".

*Paradox required all 3 main characters to beat. Why would Paradox not finish the job against Yusei alone in a one on one Duel at the start of the movie?

*I also felt annoyed at how Stardust was owning Neos, despite having the same ATK/DEF, and Neos having been able to block Cyber End and Rainbow Dragon simultanously.

 

-Most of the World Duel Carnaval in Zexal

*

If I was a spectator at the World Duel Carnaval in the anime, I'd definitely think the whole tournament was fixed so that Yuma would win it.

 

-Defends a guy that should rightfully be disqualified, and is not disqualified himself.

-Get's surrounded by 3 Duelists, and is unable to save his own butt. Instead, a girl that illegally entered the tournament, and the ex-mod that should have disqualified him help Yuma survive.

-Gets no warning or anything for getting a girl to sit by his side in the coaster just because.

-Gets to see all of his opponents' matches, giving him an unfair advantage.

-Gets lucky of not dying despite not having any care of where he is headed and falling into pretty much all the traps around with no strategy.

-His first opponent gives him the advantage of not having to suffer the effects of the Field Spell by going first.

-The same opponent also uses Heroic Gift to refill the total Life. Which even if I understand his motives, still think Yuma should be left on his own to deal with it. After all, it was his stupidity that got him into that mess and not a legit reason.

-His second opponent played a suicidal Trap. Essentially giving up the Duel.

-That same opponent also did pretty much nothing but take damage for the first couple of turns.

-Then in the finals, espectators randomly see a blatant "villian vs hero" roleplay scenario. Of course they'll root for the "hero" of the roleplay.

It was an awful tournament.

 

Anyways.... the card is very situational. You are also better off trying to play Jar of Greed + Jar Turtle.

*How Yuma's opponents were all random and non-plot-relevant. . . Except for Charley.

*How Yuma, who always wished to have Xyzs, suddenly gets a bunch of non-Number Xyzs for the tournament out of nowhere, without anybody explaining a thing.

*How the DWC actually had over 10,000 participants, but somehow only 23 got to win 5 times after 3 days of chances.

 

-Most of the content in the episodes of 5ds that had the 3rd and 4th openings.

 

-How they have power creep to the point that going above the original Egyptian Gods is a piece of cake even in the anime nowadays.

 

-People that want to play with a top tier Deck after asking to see my Deck, when I'm using a very casual one. (it's like wanting to show off)

 

-How card design is dealt with

*A good ammount of what you get from booster packs is usually archtype specific, and the lack of experimentation with what one gets from packs really discourages buying them casually, or even experimenting with what is pulled.

*A relative ammount of what you get from booster packs is complete and utter crap that has been outclassed since the beginning of the game. I do not have anything against weak cards, as long as they have a place, but many cards are not even meant to have a place anywhere at all.

*For the ones that want an example of the above 2 points at the same time, here's one:

 

-Illiaster's bad climax.

*The whole team pretty much sacrificed themselves so that Jose would have impact with his Machine Emperor. The thing is, that was unnecessary. The life increasing card would have worked just as well if they had played with all they had without even emphazising on how it was still there. People were waiting for Luciano and Plasido to fight again, and that's that we got? Plasido could have probably won a Duel on his own without holding back, with the trap being just a "what if he looses?" safe measure.

 

-Antinomy/Bruno was baddass enough to know Delta Accel Synchro when Yusei had barely met Ghost. Yet, a kitty made him have a horrible accident that also cleared his memory...... speechless

 

-Paradox does not matter

*Why did Cherry take his spot on the Arc Cradle? They are time travelers so, they should have no trouble getting him to work there. It is obviously so that Yusei didn't beat on his own, an enemy that require 3 main characters to beat, but a reasonable "in-universe" explanation would be good here.

 

-I'm still waiting for a YGO generation that could be part of a "normal" world like Yugi's time was (relative to the others). No school teaching a children's card game. No transit laws that give priority to children's card games... in that aspect, ZeXal gave a step forward, at least a little.

 

-Always hated Jack, and Crow could have been a "newborn legend" through his own efforts instead of reasigning Yusei's birthmark to him. Which brings me to the topic: Shouldn't "birthmarks" be there since "birth"? and weren't them with those specific souls throughout all their reincarnations? This just got stupid.

 

-ZeXal's infinity of parallels with repeated/recycled scenes of all the previous generations.

 

-An explanation of where the main characters go after their series ends would be nice.

*Yugi wasn't around on Jaden's time.

*Jaden disappeared in the dessert and threw out the window all his chronology during Paradox's movie.

*Yusei wasn't really shown after the jump in time at the end, and everyone talked about him as a memory (pretty much)

*ZeXal's hall of fame doesn't seem to include Yusei, and Synchros do not exist (apparently). Care to explain? I know the theories, but an actual official explanation for all these things would be thanked.

 

 

 

I could probably keep going, and I probably forgot something... but eh..

[Guest God Machismo!!!!!]

When Jaden went emo in the last season. Really, watching him brood was boring.

 

The charm of Joey was that, while Yugi used his Egyptian heritage and magic, and Kaiba used his technology to battle magic (the original Duel Disk was made to battle Pegasus' Millenium Eye,) Joey was the normal guy. He was the one that showed that good men don't need magic orr advanced technology to stand up to evil. And, that's why the Battle City finals sucked. Battle City alluded to a match between Yugi and Joey for the Red-Eyes more than once, which is why Joey should've beaten Marik. Really, Yugi vs. Joey as the final match where Joey wins back Red-Eyes would've been a great push for the character. Yugi already upset Kaiba, beat then-champion Weevil, and beat Pegasus in Duelist Kingdom, boosting his reputation greatly. Losing Battle City would mean nothing.

 

Yusei is the worst protagonist. He is so plain and perfect, even worse than Atem post-Duelist Kingdom, the writers clearly had to push hard to give him a false sense of challenge. The 2nd season shows the worst of Yusei by having him, after learning about the Accel Synchro mechanic, brood for 20+ episodes instead of trying to do something. He's said to be some sort of genius at dueling, but despite the large presence of card removal in the game, including Raigeki Break and Phoenix Wing Wind Blast, or stun cards like King Tiger Wanghu and Fossil Dyna, Yusei does nothing to adjust his deck to battle the Meklords, which are apparently a threat, so much that Yusei has nightmares of his dragon getting absorbed by one. Instead, he gets advice from Racer X about a game mechanic that makes bigger Synchros to beat anti-Synchro support. But hey, who wants to see the hero utilize new and different strategies over power levels? Then, after Mary Sue Fudo beats Z-ONE in the most boring finale ever, this grease-monkey savior is now magically a scientist who knows how to fix a faulty energy reactor that's directly linked to duel disks, assuring that there will be no consequences for having abundance over balance. Because Yusei is perfect.

 

Then, there's Jack. He starts off an okay villain, a throwback to Kaiba circa. Death T, then becomes Kaiba circa. Duelist Kingdom. But, in season 2, he does nothing for the story, and just screams "CUP RAMEN!" and gets a bigger dragon. He's a stepdown from Kaiba, and several steps down from Chazz, who advanced character-wise every season.

 

Crow was the Joey of 5D's. He was the normal guy who stood up to evil, and had no ancient magic heritage. That being said, making him a signer was retarded. There was no reason to do so, it stripped away what made him stand out, and we already knew Leo would become a signer, even if he (and his sister) was the most useless character on the show.

 

But wait, there's still Z-ONE and Aporia. In their time, Yusei is a savior because Yusei is great, and bold, and mighty, and a Based God, and his package is bigger than yours, and he has a god-given right to motorboat your girlfriend anytime, and we need to be reminded of it as much as possible, so instead of just traveling to the past to simply tell Yusei "stop with the Synchros because Momentum will magically build a robot army that's unrealistically designed and kill us all because humans are evil, blah blah blah," they send robots to give him nightmares, but they don't tell him why for another 50+ episodes. It's pretty obvious why Z-ONE could never be Yusei. It's because Yusei can do no wrong. Yusei is perfect, and Z-ONE's ultimate plan was to drop a city on another city because he's too stupid to warn the perfect savior about the apocalyptic future involving card game mechanics and his father's power reactor that read's human desires, turning into Mastermold, and building a robot army to kill everyone.

[Guest Fusion X. Denver]

-All the mains are Gary Stus. Well, not necessarily Yuma, but his learning curve could've been better executed IMO

-Yuma only using Hope for the longest time...

-Z-One being a Yusei cosplayer

-Yusei could have won against Z-One on his 2nd turn if he had used Junk Archer (or something like that)

 

Maybe a few more, but those are the ones I can think of right away.

About the TCG

 

That it's nothing like the anime. Anime duels excite me, seeing new cards and matches swing back and forth and reversals and stuff (even if the results are usually predictable) are entertaining. But then playing for real against meta decks, where the winner is usally decided in the first round by whoever can setup and summon the same one of around 20 monsters that dominate the game and almost every deck, and the only kind of reversal is "oh, you used Dark Hole then Monster Reborn, how skillful" I really don't enjoy.

 

About the Anime

 

Yuma never loses despite complete ineptitude at times.

Yusei never loses... ever.

Bad guys always having a generic bad guy plan, then swerving violently and becoming good guys as soon as they're beaten in a duel no matter how unhinged they had been seconds before (albeit Tron was done better than usual).

Z-One

Akiza being trainwrecked / Kotori being shoehorned into every episode despite never doing anything

 

Mostly the same complaints as everyone else.

[Guest Barthandelus Alpha]

The sheer lousyness of the dub, and how they always manage to kill the seemingly best characters and thought to be epic moments.

 

Damn Shark and Yuma.... I wanted a better ending.

 

Oh and filler episodes in the middle of important story.

[Guest Izaya Orihara]

5D's, ZeXal, Synchro's, XYZ's, and the fact they never made a sequel to Duelists of the Roses. That game was the sh*t.

[Cin]

- I do like it when main character lose once in a while just to remind us they are human like Judai in the manga losing to Manjoume (In the tournament with winner to face Kaiser) and Edo (in the Duel Academia vs the American Duel Academia (probably another duel, which I cannot remember off the top of my head).

- Luca was hyped up alot, it was disappointing that she never really won a duel without Lua's help (I count the Demak duel in that because Lua did most of the work)-

- Placido's lackluster duel against JACK, I would have liked atleast a little more fight from Placido 2.0.

- I would have prefered if Crow was written as a villain which apparently he was going to be. His sudden introduction was like 'Where the F did he come from'.

- Judai Vs Yugi enough said, as far as I'm concern those two episodes don't exist, it's all a bad fanfic.

- Really pointless fillers which 5D's Season 2 was full of, still haven't watched a few of them as well as GX's ones.

- Majestic, Yusei lost twice once to JACK (2) flashback and once to Kiryu (can't remember the number).

- Oh oh sending people to the stars was a pretty dumb thing for the dub.

- I dislike when Death is suggested when people lose duels....but they just end up coming back anyway....and as much as I love Ry the whole heart attack thing ended up as a poor storyline...when he survived even though his heart stopped after his lost against Yubel Johan. (Surely his heart would be stressed enough afterwards he wouldn't have made it to being found).

- Aki did become a bit pointless....benchwarmer, what was the point of all her development (I don't like her, but it's not right)

- I loved the beauty and tragedy of Jack Vs Carly, but it was forgotten about soon after...

- The manga is where it's at people.

[Guest Fusion X. Denver]

Oh and Yusei forgetting his Satellite friends existed after rescuing them.

[Enrise]

Yeah I hate Yugico too

 

Except I wasn't talking about Yugico.

[Guest Simdoggy]

The September 2012 ban list. In particular, Brionac being banned with nothing happening to hit Six Samurai whatsoever.

 

Also Six Samurai on the whole is a deck that I absolutely hate.

[Dwarven King]

Zexal as a whole. I despise every bit of that show. <_<

=O Did you just forget...

 

No, that's currently my main issue, but I've only seen the original Yugioh, GX and some of Zexal, nothing of 5D's, so I'm only basing my opinions on what I've seen so far.

 

- First, the way characters are handled (and yeah, Gauche and Droite are some of the worst examples fir this). There are tons of characters with tons of potential, but the moment you see interesting things comign up about them, they're usually tossed aside, while the writers put so much effort into showing us how awesome Yuma/Kaito/Shark/Jaden/Zane/Chazz/Yugi/Kaiba/Bakura are. Yeah, they're fine, but we're not supposed to ride their stuff, ok? I mean, I can understand that you can't give random soccer guy and everyone else the spotlight, but why bring up something like in Droite's case and then not even show her return when the evil guy is defeated?

 

- Same character recipe. 5D's was slightly different from what I've read, but so far, it's usually:

• genius main character who wins too often
  
• slightly rebellious relevant character
  
• srs business and calmer relevant character
  
• female lead with big breasts (minus Kotori) who either...doesn't duel or is mostly there to back the main character up
  
• bad guy/s
  
• everyone else
  

- I don't play the TCG, but when I used to play, things were fairly straightforward. Dunno, now I don't think I'll ever get back into even playing casually because it's confusing me too much. Like, Synchros, xyz stuffs and summoning IDK-how-many monsters per turn. Ok?@.@

 

- Jaden in GX season 4. I liked him everywhere else.

 

- THE DUB NAMES. If someone's original name is Takashi Takuya Yusuke Fujimatsu-Tanaka, then yeah, it might be more appealing to a Western audience to change it. But sometimes I even felt like the Japanese were trying to make some names sound Western and then people go and give them...worse names. What was wrong with Johan Anderson and Austin Brody? I hope they're going to keep Shark being called Shark at least (because Reginald already sounds slightly weird).=O

 

Dunno, that's what I can think of. Maybe some other minor things, but they didn't really bother me.

[Bahamut - Envoy of the End]

- Majestic, Yusei lost twice once to JACK (2) flashback and once to Kiryu (can't remember the number).

 

Oh yeah. Once, in a flashback from two-three years ago, in episode 3(4?), of which we see nothing but the end result. Whoop de f***.

 

Currently he has the best Dueling record of all main protagonists in the anime' date=' with only 1 defeat (in a flashback), a few Duels with no result and all the other Duels won. In the manga, he also has a similar record, with only 1 defeat, and all the rest won.[/quote']

 

The duel against Kalin was officially a no result, which just emphasisese the problem with Yusei. We can't have Yusei lose, he must never lose, we'll have the duel cancelled by divine mechanical intervention at the last minute. <_<

 

=O Did you just forget...

 

 

Sorry Archbaroness (nice name change)

 

In this post, did mention it in Zexal thread, and agree with the point of it's all about Yu__

[Garthfunkle Vii Backwards]

I know for fact I would hate an updated Duelist of the Roses play style. It would basically be GG really quick seeing as how they wouldn't use a ban list.

 

i would love a more updated verison of duelist of roses with some of the newer card and etc.

 

or some spin off that was made by konami that uses yugioh and or yugioh:dor as the basics of the anime / trading card game / video game

 

that would be sweet

 

Oui oui. Although zat game no longer can be bought for the playing.

 

if you download the game or demo before or know someone can let you borrow a memory card / flash drive with the game/demo then you can play/unlock the game

 

so no games will truly will be gone form the system

[STVB]

I hate missed timing the most with a burning passion, I just think it's ridiculous. Trollnami had 2 other options. They could've easily just banned Woodland Sprite or Archfiend of Glifer. 2. They could reprint Glifer to be a one time use.

 

My big hate right below that is Effect Veiler.

 

My small hates are Six Samurais and Gladiator Beasts

 

(When did I start using grammar?)

[Guest ★Toyo-tan★]

 

Just my personal hate for Six Sams. If it weren't for these two unholy grails of swarm support, Six Sams would actually be a great Synchro Deck mirroring Blackwings, instead of being a cheap ass "I summon Shi-En and you lose" deck. Seriously.

[ihop]

People who think they're good because they win games on Dueling Network.

 

The game itself if perfect.

[·Toot]

 

 

Except I wasn't talking about Yugico.

lol I know. It was a joke.

[Guest Devil's Advocate]

 

[Guest Thar Ablaze]

Only reason why I quit Yu-Gi-Oh is because Magic: the Gathering was cooler in my high school.

[Night]

The general path the game has taken in the past few years, I personally think the GX generation was the golden age of yugioh, for both TCG and media.

I immediately stopped shortly after 5D's.

 

Edit:

 

Only reason why I quit Yu-Gi-Oh is because Magic: the Gathering was cooler in my high school.

 

Card games 'cool' in high school?

Well this is news to me.

2 Card games 'cool' in high school?

Well this is news to me.

1 zexal sort of brought it back

 

2 yes cards games (especially poker black jack lol) are cool in high school i played yugioh all 4 years

[Guest Archbaron Thor the Just]

In the first school I went to, there were recurring trends such as marbles, Pokémon and of course Yu-Gi-Oh! Naturally, we didn't know much english at the time, so we basically made up effects on the spot (ironic to say, considering the site I'm on.) Neko Mane King and Melchid were the most broken things ever, at least with the effects we used them for. Amazoness Spellcaster too. Also, I used to think Fusion Monsters were supposed to be in the main deck. Ah, the memories.

Sorry, getting sidetracked. OT: Konami's abysmal understanding of the game.

fusion used to be in the main deck some how in later on in the first yugioh series ad gx saga they were thrown in the extra deck but now they are sided because of synchros and xyz

 

but they will make a comeback after oct 2 2012
