Forum:Who would win in a duel? Yugi, Jaden, or Yusei?!!!

I was wondering who do you think is the stronger duelist of the three? Take Yami Yugi without the Egyptian God Cards but with his deck from battle city, Jaden from season 4 of GX, and then of course Yusei from 5D's all in the same room who would come out victorious? Kalel lsok 20:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

OKAY I AM JUST GONNA THROW THIS OUT THERE

JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW! YUGI WOULD WIN NO DOUBT AND SECOND WOULD BE JADEN! I HATE YUSEI HE IS A QUEER WHO THINKS HE IS COOL BECUASE HE CAN PLAY CARDS ON A MOTOR CYCLE SOOOO COOL!! (that was sarcasm about the "cool" part.

• Yusei would be able to beat Jaden. But Yugi would win all. your forgeting that Yami Yugi cheats, his puzzle alters reality. Yugi's cards do what Yugi needs them to do.

• • He only used the puzzle that way in the Ceremonial Duel. --Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

• Jaden would win because he has Yubel. LOL Jaden would win!!!! he saved the world!!!!!!!

• In before deleted. Rodtheanimegod4ever 20:45, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

• I want to say Yusei Fudo but Yugi Muto and Jaden Yuki are both lucksacks so it would probably be one of them. By the way I don't relly watch the shows anymore. -- Dragon of chaos 22:37, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

• Please don't ignore the line Be sure to sign your edits with four tildes: ~~~~. And Yami Yugi would win out of them. But "Little" Yugi, with his deck from Millennium World, would beat any of the three of them. -- Deltaneos 08:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

• Hmm, hard one. i think they would tie in a three way duel. They are equally strong. I mean, the three gods in Yugi Moto's/Yami Yugi's deck, elemental heroes in Jaden Yuki's, and Stardust Dragon and Crimson Dragon are on Yusei Fudo's side. A duel between them would be awesomely epic! I would give anything for them to do that. But thats only my opinion. --Mewtwomaster58 (talk • contribs) 23:43, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, interesting, but i guess i would choose Yugi purely because of his belief in the heart of the cards. While Jaden is sitting back having fun he's being demolished by Yugi's belief. As for Yusei im not too sure. DragonDude 23:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

• The heart of the cards is BS made up by 4krap to preach at seven year olds. Rodtheanimegod4ever 23:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Millenium pieces are just as real. Zeek Aran 23:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

• • Actually, "heart of the cards" as a concept was used in the first few episodes of the Japanese version. Mostly forgotten by Battle City, though. Danny Lilithborne 00:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

• I agree that Yugi should win. --Dragon Slayer (Contribs • Count) 00:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Kaiba beats them all hands down...but out of those three...we have not seen Yusei duel enough to know, but between Yugi and Jaden that last GX episode answers that question. Dmaster (Contribs • Count) 00:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Yeah, Kaiba's such an awesome duelist that the only time he ever beat Yugi was when he threatened suicide if he lost. Danny Lilithborne 00:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
      • Yeah I perfer murder...umm forget I said that. Dmaster (Contribs • Count) 00:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
      • Joey still owns them all. Getting up after being struck by Winged Dragon of Ra and still winning = BAD. ASS. Rodtheanimegod4ever 00:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

• you guys shouldn't play with yourselves as zane is the real winner Mercinater 02:37, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

  I haven't seen much of the later seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, but I hear Zane becomes really bad. His social skills might even match his duelling skills at that point. Okay that's an exaggeration, but nope, no way would Zane beat Yugi. -- Deltaneos 12:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Not true. Zane loses exactly once, and only because he gets blown up by his own Power Bond. I doubt he's at Yugi's level yet, but he's fairly close, as are Aster and The D. Rodtheanimegod4ever 17:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

• • Zane was incredibly lucky, and relied too much on the Power Bond combo. It's funny how many people accuse the main characters of topdecking yet overlook Zane's godhands. --Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

  • Yanno, Yubel is technically undefeated. Danny Lilithborne 08:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
    • As is Raphael. His one loss was because he did himself in. Rodtheanimegod4ever 17:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
      • Raphael's deck relied on drawing the exact same cards at the right time. Not to mention that that last time was still a close call even looking past his voluntary loss.
    • Téa and Serenity are technically undefeated. -- Deltaneos 17:54, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
• It's a really difficult question for me... Jaden and Yugi are too lucky, but Yusei doesn't need luck, so I choose Yusei. --Rein Weiss Ritter 18:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Yusei uses only luck, banking on his deck with the help of the crimson dragon helping him to draw the right cards at the right time. Yugi is going to win. Hands down. Nothing in Jaden or Yusei's decks hold a candle to the power of even a single god card.

• Jaden perhaps (but not moreso than the likes of Raphael and early Ryo/Zane), but not so much Yugi, who is the best strategist.

• Somehow I feel that their duel will not reach to the end (maybe Interupted, cutted out), with an advantage for Atem (Yugi). If it would reach to the end, I would like to see Yugi or Yusei win (Jaden hasn't good enough xD) --Blackwings0605 14:53, 31 July 2009

Depends on if the god card effects are going to be the original ones or the new ones that came out of the shonen jump.

Jaden got Bubbleman (Speicial summon plus draw 2 card), Honest (easy gg), and Neo God(unstoppable due tv show battle of monster). In Tv show style of dueling, they don't use effect card to blow up thing.

YUGI

I think Yugi should win, preferbaly Atem if hes playing :)! Atem Mutou 18:40, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

i think i would win. but im not an anime character  :( Mini neos 16:58, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

It should already be a foregone conclusion that, as long as Yugi has the "God Draw", he won't lost to either of them. He's the Lucksack/ Topdecking King of Games. So I don't see him losing. Plus, he just crushed Judai in the last episode of GX.

Proof? Rodtheanimegod4ever 18:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

• Yugi was the protagonist most often. And the antagonist will get the lucky draws first and corner the protagonist first, in order to make the latter's comeback more climactic. Rewatch the Ceremonial Duel. Best strategic play ever. --Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

jaden didnt play the cards right. if i got the same luckydraws against yugi, i would have crushed him. and i wouldnt have crushed my self! HA! Mini neos 17:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I say Judai would win because of his lucky draws. Some say that he cheats.

he uses bubblemans effect all wrong, and he summons monsters in face-up defense mode! whats next? face-down attack mode? Mini neos 05:17, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

• • Umm... that was Bubbleman's effect before he was a real card. No "wrongness" there. Rodtheanimegod4ever 06:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

yugi and yusei

in anime, i choose yami yugi or atem. but in real live i choose yusei.

I like how you mention "in real life." I have to agree with you on that, in real life, Yusei would be the best of all. Yu-Gi-Oh Rules! 21:19, 13 August 2008 (UTC) rd with over Yusei has like two ca2000 atk points, jaden is small, so is yugi.

Yeah, even though I said they would tie back up there somewhere, in real life, that is, is Yusei and Yugi were real, (sorry Jaden, this isn't your part) I think Yusei would win. In real life, it all depends on terrain. On motorcycles, Yusei would probably crush Yugi. And I also agree with......whoever put that comment up there.--24.211.205.16 (talk) 23:57, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Though Yusei could execute a 1 turn 3 kill. So I say Yusei.

Who's the third? Himself?... Plus the fact that Yusei's deck has some stall power (shield wing, ...), it's impossible!!!!!Qun2092849 (talk • contribs) 20:37, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Obviously Judai Yuki...

Well, I'd say Jaden because like yeah Yusei just plain sucks to me and yeah, Yugi is pretty decent becuase I don't really he think he's the king of games...plus Yubel is within Jaden. I think Jaden owns them all! Sorry if i dissapointed yall... Gotcha!

JADEN RULES! He's better than better with his strategie and fusions than the stupid egyptian gods and StarDust Dragon. My neibors have stardust,and dark magician crud, and i can beat them alot. BUT my other neibor is making an elemental hero/neo spacian deck and he is hard to beat! P.S I have a (GX) style Frog Deck.

• What are you talking about? Judai's deck is too situational, and most of his fusions are weak. It took his manga cards to make the E-Hero theme worth considering. --Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Tie...

Okay, I would practically never choose Jaden, he's just too... too... too light, too unconcentrated on the game for me.

Between Yugi and Yusei? To tell you the truth, I think it would be a tie. I mean, they're both about equal in my book.

Both equally good at dueling, and equally concentrated.

But Jaden? Not a chance.

Just my opinion.

Yu-Gi-Oh Rules! 01:09, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

== JADEN'S TOP MONSTERS ARE YUBEL, NEOS , HIS NEOS AND ELEMENTALFUSION

AND ULTIMATE MONSTER IS NEOS ULTIMATE GOD

YUGI'S TOP MONSTERS ARE DARK MAGICIAN ,BLACK LUSTURE SOLDIER,MAGICIAN OF BLACK CHAOS , DARK PALADIN AND ULTIMATE MONSTER IS THE EGYPTIAN GODS , THE LEGENDARY DRAGONS IF HE HAD

I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEAS ABOUT YUSEI BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN IT

==

Yusei!

• Out of those 3, Yusei would so win. He's not a freakin' lucksack like Yugi and jaden, he has true skill. If you add in other duelists, I'd say Kaiba or Raphael. Bluedog187 01:18, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
• Are you kidding? Raphael is one of the biggest lucksacks in the series. Kaiba, in spite of his skill, relies on beatstick power. And Yugi's "lucksacks" were a factor of being the protagonist, where they inevitably draw it at the last moment to make things more climactic. (And more often than not, it's because the opponent lucksacked first.) Rewatch the Ceremonial Duel. Never was a duel more strategically played.

i havent seen 5d's yet but so far yugi would flaten jaden if he's his little self or yami yugi because it mensions in gx that jadens duels where all fixed inhis fist year at the academy when banner turns out to be a shadow rider he qotes youre duels have been set up to give you practice for when you duel kagimarou bawnsy 08:57, 23 July 2008 (UTC) your worng re witch the epside jaden beat banner banner say i lied you win all your duels ok the ywar not sit up banner siad he lied jaden wood is tie dwith litltle yugi the mnake siad so jadne beat yusei any time

"Heart of the cards" is a good thing to go by. Have you ever been in a situation were only one card in your deck can help you and you have faith and draw that card?happend to me a lot of times.

m.o.g.overload

~w/o the heart of the cards thing... i think yugi still pawns them all... but in the tcg rules i think yusei... in strategy much of 3 equal... its just they are all damn good...

Have you watched the show 5D's yet, Bluedog187? In the first episode, Yusei says, "My cards... I believe in you... Pull through for me." If that isn't luck, what is? I agree with your opinion, though. :) Yusei does have awesome skill.

Yu-Gi-Oh Rules! 20:25, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Of course I've seen it. What I meant was that he was able to win with the old man's deck and that crappy criminal deck. Being able to win no matter what cards you have sounds like true skill to me. Bluedog187 16:46, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

• • I agree with Bluedog187. Dmaster (Contribs • Count) 02:39, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Good point. I agree, but remember he said in both cases something like, "Come on. Let's show the old man your true power!" and something simular to that when using the criminal deck. I agree, that does sound like skill, but it also sounds like luck. All I'm saying is, Yusei has and uses a mixture of great skill and belief in his cards(luck). Yu-Gi-Oh Rules! 00:17, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Yusei. Maybe not as he is now, but he has the potential to be much, much better. He's the least reliant on "luck of the draw," and it helps that his deck would be the most useful of the three in real life. Rodtheanimegod4ever 06:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

I think Yusei is just as reliant, if not most reliant on luck. It just doesn't stand out because he doesn't put as much drama into it, like saying "C'mon Heart of the Cards" or "There's only one card in my Deck that can win this". Or it's not made as obvious like with Joey who uses lots of coin flip, die roll, random selection cards. If you think about Yusei uses a lot of cards that are useless in most situations (even most situations generated by his Deck), yet he always only draws them when he needs them. He always gets just the card he needs when he uses "Nitro Synchron's" effect, he only drew "Limit Break" when he was able to use it and needed it, he drew "Speed Spell - Synchro Return", the one time he ever removed a Synchro Monster from play and many other similar situations. Unless he changes the contents of his Deck alot, so these cards are supported, they are incredibly lucky draws. And let's not forget how lucky he was in his Duel with Takasu. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Anyone ever hear of a "Side Deck" thats where most of my "special" cards are when i know im going to need them in certain duels! This is where these cards are coming from! And Yusei Rocks so hard that it would take both yugi and jaden to team up just to beat him. Then jaden would turn evil and sneak attack yugi, but yugi would be ready and counter it with something mental and summon his Dark Magician Girl and wipe him out xD (love the DMG :P)

• • HOWEVER** this a free for all and in the end id say Yusei would win. and if anyone starts saying that Believing is the same as Luck then your WRONG! big time. sorry but its the truth. and the only people that say that dont have a bond with there decks like every TRUE duelist does. (yeah geek man xD haha)

ALL OF THEM WOULD END UP IN A DRAW

Yusei would win. All three have a lot of believe in their decks, and I know from my own experiences that this isn't luck (there are 4 cards in my cousin's deck that awais are in his starting hand and or first draw, in any order, even when I shuffle his deck). But after all, yusei do have ability. Yusei deck is focused on defensive play, until he starts to understands his opponent strategies and then summon the appropriate Synchro Monster to counter it. And without the Egyptian Gods simple removing from play yugi's dark magician, Valkyryon and Buster Blader the only thing yugi would be able to do was going to be to play his monster in defense position agains't jaden and yusei stronger cards, or to summon his other strong monsters, who could easily be defeated by both jaden and yusei. By Snetonobre (talk • contribs) 19:12, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I know I once said they would tie in a three way duel. I changed my mind. Yusei would win, totally. He has Stardust Dragon, Majestic Stardust dragon, and Shooting Quasar Dragon, was it? And one more I can't remember. Meanwhile, Jaden has Yubel and Terra Firma. Yami Yugi had the three god cards. Yusei may have lost his mark in the last episode, and Yugi his puzzle, but Yusei has sychro summon, something Jaden and Yami Yugi don't have. Mewtwomaster58 (talk • contribs) 21:52, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

I say Jaden

because hes a major top decker and with his evil hero deck i think he'd win.

• Hehe, that does seem true. The top decking would be useful. OsmiuMap 22:12, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Jaden

Come on it has to be Jaden since he is the best. Airblade86 21:40, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

• I'd have to go with Yugi since his name means 'game' doesn't it? OsmiuMap 22:12, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

• Yugi means game? didnt know that

Yeah i sure "yugioh" means king of games :)

• I think yusei means planetary. Jaden would definitely win because he is the only actual good duellist because yugi has atem and yusei has super signer powers, and jaden has nothing(except yubel in series 4 and he barly uses it) and if that stuff was taken away jaden would win easily.

• Yes, Yusei does mean planetary. --24.211.205.16 (talk) 00:06, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

• if you look at their aces : dark magician, neos, stardust stardust would win but if you look at the best card they can summon using the aces(mirage Knight:yugi,magestic star dragon:yusei,rainbow neos:jaden) jaden clearly wins and jaden's is the only one that lasts more than a turn

Did you count Yusei's Shooting Star and Shooting Quasar plus Yugi's Egyptian Gods? Qun2092849 (talk • contribs) 20:48, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Yusei

Good news the 5D's has come out in english so you can see that Yusei's the best. Nidzajojo

Yugi. Yu-Gi-Oh! See? The game is named after him, so that is already a huge advantage! Besides that, he has the best lucksack abilities. He could bust out the Jack-King-Queen combo by turn 2 and summon DM for 2500 direct damage, putting him at a huge lead. Or even on his first turn with Card Destruction/ Monster Reborn

You should almost never tribute to summon Dark Magician. (summon it with Magical Dimention, Dark Magic Curtain,...)

Qun2092849 (talk • contribs) 20:52, June 10, 2011 (UTC) At least that is what I would like to say. But since NOONE plays with MST, Harpies Feather Duster, Dust Tornado, or other continuous magic destroying cards, Yusei would win due to speed world's 2000 damage per spell effect. Or Scrap Iron Scarecrow's effect. But with an updated deck, Yugi hands down.

71.103.220.196 18:50, 6 October 2008 (UTC) - I'm sorry, this is my first time posting in a wiki and I seem to have screwed up the formatting somehow X_X Really sorry.

Although, one thing I don't get from GX... God Cards can only be affected by magic for 1 turn, so wouldn't Jaden have won the final duel had he not attacked Slifer? Then the dragon would have just gone to the graveyard and Jaden could have direct attacked with neos... or am I missing some card they played that negates this ruling? 71.103.220.196 18:48, 6 October 2008 (UTC)ＢＳＤ

• I think that monsters of Divine-Beast type only go back after one turn, but since Yugi changed Osiris to a warrior type it will stay out on the field. -- Sub 03:49, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

• But again, Jaden's goal is to have fun, not being seriously. --FredCat100 20:08, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

• 3 things:

 1 the duel never ended so Jaden could definitely pulled something of and if couldn't he wouldn't of attacked.

 2 it was the last episode of gx and they wanted to end with some thong exiting like picture of neos taking on  slifer

 3 if jaden had attacked with shining flare wingman he would have won

I think yusei will win because he has alot of power full monster like stardust dragon, junk

archer and expecually goyo gardian because can gain monster and he is play by 5d's rules

Tea

She's 7-0, and therefore the only recurring character to never lose a dual. She defeats Joey 5 times at the beginning of the series at the high school (that's right, Tea Gardner is responsible for about half of Dualist Kingdom Semi-finalist Joey Wheeler's known losses), she defeats Mai with the power of friendship, and she takes out Crump in the virtual world. She never dueled against Yugi, but with the power of friendship, how could she lose.

• Mai was still winning, but conceded that duel, so that Tea could have those star chips to give to Yugi.

Me

i say i beat them all my zombies are dang near unstoppable Lets see them get out five monsters on their first turn

it would never be jaden,his deck is shocking compared to yugi's or yusei's. I would have to say yusei though, sure all of them have luck but yusei shows more skill, but then again he uses synchro's which to be honest are better than all cards than the other 2 use, if yusei didnt have his synchros it would be yugi to win.

yugi would win... not with his deck at battle, but with the deck he duelled against yugi. for those of you who don't know, I mean the battle where the pharaoh would go away if Yugi moto wins. jaden yuki is just a big noob with his weak elemental heroes, but when the heroes combine they are hard to beat — This unsigned comment was made by 91.95.255.117 (talk • contribs) 14:33, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Yugi is the Pharaoh (Not anymore after final episode), Jaden is a reincarnation of the Supreme King+Yubel (Yet it hardly matters), And Yusei is a Signer-at-birth (Different from Crow, who just got it for no good reason.)

I wonder if he would run royal oppression...That would screw over both Jaden and Yusei so much lol. Ok hmms...I summon Yubel..I pay! >< ok...I summon STARDUST...Pay!. Win! lol (Also I am going off of if they actually HAD a legit duel with 8k LP, and if their deck types were as powerful as possible in the real game. I would say...Yugi wins, with Gadgets.)--Takuma. 01:45, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

• PLEASE, Atem is the king of games, he controls every monster and if I'm not making a mistake now, Atem MADE the cards 3000 or 5000 years ago in Egypt. He maybe has lost his memory, but he still knows the feelings and all that stuff. Not only that makes Atem invincible, he believes in The Heart Of The Cards, damn it! Plus he can feel wich card is wich (just as he did when he duelled with Yugi, the Ceremonial Battle) he can draw any card at any time, for Gods sake! So, deal with it you cursed Yusei and Jaden lovers, Yugi owns ya all and there is noooooothing you can do about it-a... --Dark-Magician 15:42, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

• I dunno. Personally I think that anyone who ACTUALLY RUNS a card like Ragnarok, not to mention using it against a monster that it really doesn't affect is just asking to DIE (though I'll admit that Yami's Catapult Turtle Flying Castle Gambit is pretty awesome). I'd vote Yusei, as Stardust rocks, and his deck is actually pretty decent. As to the whole luck thing, that really applies to all three main characters.97.126.222.108 12:25, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

• • Ragnarok was an anime-only card.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yusei

I vote for him because out of all of them, he is the only one that isn't too angsty and isn't too much of a happy go lucky 'tard' that I get tired of his personality after a number of episodes. Not to mention in this series the female miss Aki Izayoi actually has most if not all of her cards coming out instead of just some like with poor Asuka who was sooo demoted to being a third party character.

Out of the yugi, yuki and yusei things.. It goes least liked to most liked. The only thing I hate is that all of them eventually move into the 'dueling to save the world' bit and stay there.. for-ev-er! Not to mention all three of the main characters used warriors to an extent, more so yuki and yusei then yugi who was more mish-mash. Oh and also I don't like yugi because he depended on his 'partner' too much in the whole series and no one ever really seemed to notice the things like height growth and attitude changing.. and a sudden drop in tone of voice but blah it's fantasy so whatever. There's my vote.

• Yami relied on Yugi just as much as the other way around.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to have to go with Yugi on this one. As much as I detest yugi he has the magical item that turns him into a beast of a deulist who is undefeatable unless he chooses to loose. The only time I even remember Yugi losing was to kaiba and that was due to the suicide factor. If I remember correctly little yugi had to throw a b!@# fit to convicnce Atem to surrender.

Peronsally you put all these duelists in a room with a sword a pistol, a spear, and a banana and Kaiba's going to walk out to that room holding a blood stained banana. >.>

I would say Yusei, because of synchros, without them it would be Yugi Muto. If any character could be chosen i would say Akiza Izinski, purely because of Black Rose Dragon and she duels in such an angry way if she lost she would kill you sort of thing lol.

if you could pick anyone i would pick aster phoenix because of his semi-undefetableness(he only loses to jaden) and his destiny heroes

jaden

they are all awesome but i just say jaden because he's my favorite.

Has to be Yusei

He defends against attacks like no other, and then swarms to overpower his opponent. You also have to look at the aces. Stardust is better than Neos and Dark Magician. And with others that have big effects plus this new Savior Star Dragon card. Jaden would lose in the first few turns because he doesn't play defense well, and Yugi would lose because he doesn't have enough fire power. Yugi could summon one or two strong monsters, but to keep them coming to match Yusei, he can't come close. Yusei in 8 turns. Messengerofthedark 03:52, 20 April 2009 (UTC)Messengerofthedark

Yuki Judai

My choice woud have to be Jaden.He has insane combos to pull off.Miracle Flipper with Hero Blast.Convert Contact, Cocoon Party, Contact, then Space Gift.Not to mention the tons of De-fusion combos he has with his fusions.He has Yubel as well which can pull off a win easy with Neos for Wiseman.All Yugi does is blatantly cheat of just pulls his luck cards out of nowhere.I liked Yugi in the beginnig, but then he just started to cheat too much.He just so happened to have all his best cards at once in the first turn.Yusei is pretty good though.His deck mostly bridges his cards so he can get them out.Like Junk Synchron then Speed Warrior for Junk Warrior then Nitro Synchron for Nitro Warrior.SO in the end it will probably come down to Jaden and Yusei

• Funny how you only accuse Yugi of cheating, when the other two are just as guilty. Infact, Bastion was probably the only duelist not reliant on topdraws. And Judai? Too many situational cards. Same goes somewhat for Yusei. --Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yu-Gi-Oh

Jaden has skill and this 5Ds guy is the same but Yami Yugi would stategize more profound and ahead of time he knew his opponets moves and equal exchanged blow for blow. Yugi used more combos and always had more than a back up plan to his advantage. Jaden and This new guy is ok but yugi is more than capeable of mopping the florr with them both with or without god cards. Hes proven this to us on more than one occations actually defeating the god cards when niether of those slobs has been able to knock them down. Anyone else defeat a god card?....nope sure not.

Jaden

With Yubel on him he will be un-defeatable, if he is only going to use the Evil Hero Monster cards, one of the most Powerful Monsters when they are just successfully summoned. With Jaden's Rainbow Neos, with high attack points and can just return monsters on the field back to the deck, poor Synchro Monsters. With Yugi using the god cards which are really illegal, he must not use that. Jaden will probably win.

just wait for this duel to air and then we will see who wins Sartorias 09:47, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

yugi GOD CARDS if youlot forgot.

• Gumby. Danny Lilithborne 14:41, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

listen to me carefuly, yugi would beat jaden and yusei because yugi is the original yugioh hero, he is the KING of games, he has 3 gods, he saved the world from the shadows twice, he beat kaiba, pegasus, marick, 3 gods, seal of orichalchos, leviathan, zork, exodia, reshef, bakura, yusei and jaden can not serpass him

Wrong, it was Atem who do all duels, Yugi had only like 1-2 duels, once for Rebecca (to deal with Blue-Eyes White Dragon card) and once again against his partner (end). But all other are by Atem, as of his look. So I am sorry, you lost. --FredCat100 20:16, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

• • What about the Ceremonial Duel, where Yugi beat Atem, with weaker cards to boot?--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Depends

If they were using hteir decks it would be Yugi but Yusei has the most skill. Even if yugi could use syncros in a different deck yusei would stil win

• Doubtful. There hasn't been a better played duel than Yugi in the Ceremonial Duel.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

10th Anniversary Video

Well, when they release the 10th Anniversary Video that will feature the 3 Dueling, that will be when we find out who would win between the 3~MEOW~ Might of the BIRD Empire~~ 05:05, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Definitely Yugi

Come on guys. If Yugi is the King of Games, what would we call Jaden or Yusei? The Grandmaster of Game Emperor... Thing! No but in all seriousness, Yugi. He tends to build his decks with lots of balance. I'm also sure that if he built a deck with the new cards that have come out, he would have some amazing super Deus ex Machina deck that allows him to trump everyone else. He also has the God Monsters, and Black Luster Soldier Messenger of Creation, several of the more broken cards in the game. He also plays a lot of cards that give him more special summon and draw power. I think the only way Yusei could top him is that Yusei specializes in Turbo Duels, and Yugi would have to get the hang of it before hand. But in any case, I've gone on brown nosing Yugi long enough. xD--Overlordzorc 06:52, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

dont fight it

are you a fortune tellers like sartorius because u know anything cant be predicted as jaden said when he duels sartorius so when the duel air watch it and then you will learn who has won got that Sartorias 07:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

None of them, yugi would get blown up yubel,yugi would blow up yusei with Slifer,jaden would get blown up by savior star dragon, the end.--Airbellum 07:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Lol is that a joke , Yugi would win with no questions asked. -Arcangel- 22:46, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Anyone but Yugi

Yugi's Battle City deck is impossible to actually win with and only won duels because his opponents were also using decks that are impossible to win with. As for Jaden and Yusei, if Jaden was using either his Season 1 deck or his Season 2 deck, he might stand a tough fight against Yusei. I don't know enough about Yusei to give a proper opinion, but I'll say this: Yugi loses in 3rd place, and then Yusei edges ahead of Jaden to win a struggle. By the way, even in the Doma arc, Yugi's deck was impossible (too many cards, all don't connect together). --WeezleBeezle 17:40, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree on that Yugi's deck wouldn't work in real life. I'd like to see Konami make 100% accurate decks of all three of them, actually shuffle, have three random guys play a duel using those decks, record what happens in that duel, and use it for an anime special (and yes, I'm aware of the announced 10th Anniversary thingie). Wouldn't that be interesting? An actual random duel that wasn't scripted. --209.112.94.77 23:49, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I actually agree on this one. Yugi couldn't win. His deck is virtually mashed up with monsters that have no synergy. It's basically a bunch of Spellcaster, Warriors, Fiends, Beasts, Fairies and what-not. It has virtually only one copy of each card. Well, considering Yugi's random head... and deck, he'd only have one of each card. As for Yusei and Jaden... they're much more believable when winning. Why? Well... if you run an Elemental Hero deck, you should be at least aware that you'd be needing more than one freaking copy of Polymerization as well as three copies of each Elemental hero monster. And... for his Neos, Neo-Spacian and Yubel decks... there are plenty of ways to Special Summon a monster from the hand or deck. Yusei's deck is pretty much... okay by far. I don't see anything people would be b*tching about it not being able to win normally. However, I would like to note that, even in the Yu-Gi-Oh video games where all three of them are laughably weak and predictable in terms of startegy, Yugi goes down faster than Yusei and Jaden. Seriously. Even my Billy Decks have easily beaten Yugi's deck. Billy Decks, mind you. And they don't have any splashable cards in them at all. Yusei and Jaden did put up one heck of a fight though when I used the same Billy Decks against them. (P. S. In real life, there is no way Yugi's deck could win and what-not. Heart of the cards my butt. Luck is the only way. ;P) -- S.S. 3:29 January 19, 2010

But! Yugi was from the era when the franchise only started to become about the card game. And back then characters had cards that represented different things about them. Infact, few characters had consistent archetypes. GX and 5Ds were different in that they were built around Yu-Gi-Oh!! as a card game franchise from the get go. And even there, Jaden, for instance, uses too many situational cards.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Think again !

I think YuGi will own the duel because he's not only calm but also quick response. Besides, he always has some backup plan for any circumstance ... And someone said that the deck he used is not balance. Of course it's not balance but the point is that he know his deck and the way to use it !

The truth is in each of their own show they would be the best. If they dueled in YuGiOh (original) Yugi wins, in 5d Yusei would win, in gx Jaden would win becaue the show obviously cheats for the heroe. However if yugi had the egyptian gods he would win, when I say yugi I mean the big one and the small one when they are one persone since yugi is the reincarnation of atem aka pharaoh aka yugioh they are the same personne. Plus yusei and jaden are just following in yugi's footsteps since he was THE ORIGINAL. Plus remember the show is named after YUGI whether it's YUGIoh gx or YUGIoh 5d Yugi does not depend on atem they are the same personne from a difent time and he can controle the draw. But seriously the show cheats for all three. And by the way Kaiba beats Zane, White Dragon beats Cyber Dragon.

I would coose Yusei, but... didn't he add a card to his deck in the middle of a duel?

For that question, there was only 1 card had been added, it's Majestic Dragon. Only twice by mental. --FredCat100 20:25, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

yugi

i dont know about yusei but yugioh killed jaden at the end of yugioh GX, they may not have showed it because jaden cried to alot when he lost thats why yugi should never work with loser, by the way the joke is from yugioh the abridged series. jaden did not cry or lose it end in the draw the make said so.

Either way YUGI WOULD WIN!!!!!!!!!!!! He's the king of games. And he has the millennium item so he would win. AND even if he didn't, his grampa owns a card shop he could just get more pieces of Exodia. AND with his "lucksackiness" he would be able to pull it off in like two draws.

)

Yugi Would Win

No one seems to remember that yugi was dueling at the start with only 4000 LP at the start. Heart of the Cards with Millennium Items not a force to be messed with! We all know how the Yugi vs. Jaden duel went so if by some way Jaden beats Yusei he will still lose but Yusei has more skill then Jaden so Jaden will lose first by a land slide but the Yugi Yusei duel will be a closer match, but Yugi will come out on top as long as he has the Heart of the Cards on his side along with God Cards. Also if they went to the shadow relm only Yugi would survive to walk away without having to duel. Drkylec

People Wake Up!

Jaden is a noob. So, in my opinion, Yusei will get a draw while dueling Yugi because of Yusei's Synchrons, and Yugi because of his almost never loss.

Yugi will

Yugi is the King of Games. If he loses, this will be bad for the first (and only interesting) Yu-Gi-Oh! series/manga. Then, Yugi has the three Egyptian Gods, he is invincible. 'Cause if Yugi must duel one (or both) of them, it will be Yami Yugi/Atem that will face or show himself a the end to achieve his opponent, beacause Yugi can't exist on screen without Yami/Atem (see the last GX Episode). So Yugi will beat all his opponents (confirmation in the next OAV with the 3 heroes). YAMIMILLENIUMMON PROG. - ME MAILER 15:52, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

The 3 gods can be beaten. Yugi's done it, using some crazy Magnet Force shit. But seriously, in a real duel, Yusei's deck and dueling skills are the best. Plus, his ace monster is the only really good one of them all, even though it doesn't have the same kind of support that Neos and Dark Magician have accumulated.

it would be a draw like the last duel in gx

yugi will win you know king of games?--Scott 08 10:23, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

• In real life it would probably be Yusei, but in the anime the others always get the luck. By the way,Would someone who knows the answer to this question please reply.

YOU REALLY NEED TO THINK?

Let's see:

yugi: moronic THREE tribute god cards (countless cards to stop god summoning btw) , lots of turn to put it off, themeless salad deck( unless he uses the pure magician) , always wins by luck, banned cards still allowed? Has useless friends who always counts on him to save them Prototype for a reason

• Wrong-o. Atem used the gods, not Yugi. Said deck was a result of most characters not having archetypes at the time because the card game was now. His wins by luck are because the writing dictates it by way of his opponent doing it first in order to make things more dramatic.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

judai: fast kill, otk possible, evil heroes rules, the impossible destiny draw bs,but hand empties too fast, low firepower, get rid of first fusion and he's gone Beta, close but not there yet

yusei: his defense is really godlike, how many reversal otks already? no kuriboh, synchro fusion( accel sychro?), cool biker, insane creature advantage in one turn, and since series still running , hasn't reached his limits yet.

• Uses a lot of one-off cards.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Go make a guess

• Judai doesn't use Evil Heroes... that's Haou. And since when do being a "cool biker" or having "useless friends" have ANYTHING to do with a duel? Besides, little Yugi doesn't use the god cards. --Bluedog (Talk) 02:08, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

Dude, Yugi has used God cards on more than one occasion... and it's freaking ridiculous that he gets to summon them every time... without any proper support. As for Jaden/Judai, he can (TAKE NOTE that it's "can" not "does") fuse his Elemental Heroes into Evil Heroes. Just add Dark Calling or Dark Fusion. As for the "useless friends" and "cool biker"... I have entirely no idea. But Yugi's deck seems to be the most out-of-place and useless by far. ;P 112.201.152.34 08:08, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Yugi Focuses on speed summoning with his knights and magnet warriors to create 3 tributes. The knights actually work better in the anime since they summon jacks knight as long as the 2 others hit the field someway or another unlike the real ones where queen has to be out first and king must be normal summoned--DarkMagicRagnarok (talk • contribs) 04:53, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

WERE GONNA FIND OUT SOON!!!

We will find out in the upcoming movie!!!!!! :P

Yugi/Atem

Lol. The farao would win. 3 god cards, heart of the cards and MIND CRUSH (Thats one of the abridged series joke XD)

Jaden is too relaxing to win.

Yusei is just not using any good cards XD.

it'd be between Yugi and Yusei.

Jaden already faced Yugi, and I can tell you right know he lost since it was Neos versus Slifer. Yugi would probably be my vote for this, but Yusei has some skill (with proof being that he wins using cards that people throw away, since he's a satellite). I also think that if Yusei plays Majestic Star Dragon, he might have a chance.

==i say the winner will be yugi because i think that yusei can't defeat jaden because of yubel spirit and the supreme king jaden and jdaden already dueled yugi and he lost so i see that yugi is the winner but in my real life i want jaden to win

Big deal. So what if Jaden has Yubel. Ohh I got an emo psycho spirit helping me win. Jaden may have luck, but Yusei has more skill than Jaden does. Yugi has both though so I know he would win.

The proof of Jaden's luck is during his duel against Yugi, his card trooper sent 3 cards to the grave, and 2 of them have a good effect in the grave Qun2092849 (talk • contribs) 21:03, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Yusei automatically consider the winner since both Yugi and Jaden didn't have their own D-Wheel to compete on Riding Duel... Lanspearsaber 16:37, December 20, 2009 (UTC)NoobYugiohPlayer

Jaden's Yubel card and Card Trooper, Necro Gardna, Elemental hero Divine Neos probably mean he'd win. Although Yugi has Swift Gaia... 88.107.116.42 18:43, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Just because Jaden has uber cards doesn't mean he'd win. Yugi and Yusei have both proven that it doesn't matter if you have uber cards cause any card can be defeated. Jaden's good, but most of his good game play comes from his luck, and that only gets you so far. Yugi would win because he has the skill and just the right amount of luck.

GoldenSandslash15's Opinion

If the writers were to make this duel, they would cause Jaden/Judai to lose. This is because they want either Yugi to win (to show that the original is still remembered) or Yusei (to promote the "new" show). Between Yugi and Yusei, it would have to be Yugi. The viewers would like that best.

However, ignoring the writers, and if it was simply "characters do what they do on their own," it would be Yusei. Yugi's deck is unplayable by today's standards. His key cards, Dark Magician and Kuriboh, are worthless. A 2500 ATK card can easily be found in a 1-tribute card (probably with a decent effect), and if not for the support cards, Dark Magician would NEVER be played in real life. Kuriboh is just a cutesy card. I can't believe it actually saved Yugi in his duel against Kaiba in the Battle City Finals. Jaden/Judai has WAY too many cards in his deck to ever topdeck without the writers' help. Yusei is still good though, particularly in Turbo Duels.

• Yugi's Kuriboh move worked because it was written that way in the manga, where a lot of the real life rules, regardless of player, don't apply.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Finally, we cannot ignore other characters that are strong as well: (Joey/Jyonochi, Kaiba, Zane/Ryo, Chazz/Manaoujme, Jesse/Johan, Jack, Akiza). I think that they (especially Zane/Ryo) are stronger than the main characters of their respective series, ignoring the writers' help.

• You're kidding on at least a couple of them. Zane/Ryo also relies on topdecks to achieve the wins he does, Kaiba relies on beatstick power even if he is second best, Jack is too much of a Leeroy Jenkins, and Joey isn't as strong as Yugi either. Yugi, btw, crushed a stronger deck using weaker cards. That takes strategy.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Now, we know that Yugi and Jaden/Judai dueled at the end of GX, and Yugi won (although the duel was interrupted), so Jaden/Judai will definitely lose this duel. (Jaden/Judai's duel with Dimitri doesn't count, as "no amount of studying you can do will allow you to use somebody else's cards as well as they can." -Zane Truesdale/Kaiser Ryo

Similarly Judai/Jaden vs. Kaibaman doesn't count.

Lastly, we will see the protagonists debut together in the new 10th anniversary film. Although they probably won't duel each other, we can better analyze a duel involving all of them once we actually see the movie.

I don't know how much this info is worth. It's either $0.01 or it's $0.02.

Either it's a penny for my thoughts, or it's just me putting in my two cents.

(Cheesy, I know.)

Oh, and SIGN YOUR COMMENTS PEOPLE!!!!

--GoldenSandslash15 04:29, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Yusei,,,,

In real life, Yusei would win the duel but if Yugi lost, it would be a bad publicity for the viewers.... I think it would be a draw or somehow Yugi won but not shown just like the epilogue of Yugioh GX. Blackwing Guy 04:53, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

On Deck Structure alone, Jaden/Judai would have the largest advantage, since his cards build on each other moreso than the others. Should each of the characters have access to all of their cards from both the manga's and Anime's, Jaden has the clearest advantage. Yusei would possibly come in second, since his junk deck has some semblance of strategy too. I've Built various versions of Yugi's/Atem's Decks, and they dont stand a snowball's chance in hell against either of the other two, the "King of Games" has no REAL strategy to his deck.

Shadowfox337 07:41, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

• Yugi came before the era of characters having archetypes. Judai, who doesn't have that excuse, uses too many situational cards to have a good build.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, a lot of new cards are created since the beginning of Yu-Gi-Oh and Yusei can use the most of them.(except the bans). Qun2092849 (talk • contribs) 21:09, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

yusei's deck will win because its the fastest among the three decks, he can summon a 2500atk stardust in 1 turn and the two others, maybe jaden can outpower stardust with his fusion monsters and yugi's deck in real life is a great bunch of underpowered cards and i can forgive that because he is the pioneer but in today's playing, yusei's deck will win, jaden, maybe but never for yugi's deck unless he unleashes his forbidden cards! but for animewise , YUGI should win or else the creators of the movie will screw up big time! dude he's the King of Games, and the game is named Yugi-Oh, hence his name.

My Two Cents

Even though i don't particularly like Yugi and i do agree Kaiba would leave with a blood stained banana; i would have to say Yugi would win because when you factor in the "King of Games" into determining what his realworld deck would be it; i gotta say it would be awesome. Yusei would have a chance and between the two of them (Yugi & Yusei) it would be a hell of a fight to the end. BTW Jaden loses in 2 turns tops DaywalkerAA 12:21, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

It depends, but...

For me I think it's Yusei, not because of his skill because he can compromise by using various decks whether mishmash or useless... I'm not bias, I have watched the 3 seasons, and played the games actually, currently playing 5d's and Gx on psp... I don't have much experience but, since it was a game, the draws can either be bad or good...(even with destiny draw it's still bad T-T)or in short it was totally shuffled...

Yusei- definitely best defense and fast summoning due to synchros Jaden- bad defense, good offense with fusion monsters and other effects... Yugi- he's good... but I don't know if it's lucky draws or what but yeah it's true too much luck, I don't know what his deck concentrates on is it on kuriboh's, dark magicians, magnet warriors etc... whatever... but also has good defense with his kuriboh's and spellbinding, magical harts etc trap cards, his spells are also cool, like change of heart etc etc...

I played Yusei, from weakest to strongest deck, and damn his strongest was definitely strongest.... it's like at first you think you're winning then he makes a comeback when least expected(remember deck shuffled no writers to totally make him win or what!!)...(same with his weakest) I was like hurray!.... dammit! especially with that stupid scarecrow thing ugh!!! plus with jaden's and yugi's deck, since they don't synchro summon they'll have a hard time since you can just summon one monster at a time, and that includes tributing and etc unless you discard your strongest card and draw monster reborn... (except special summon cards) beat him from time to time, but it took a lot of defending and stalling =.= till the good draw (see everyone depends on luck and yugi is not exempted...) although you can wipe Yusei out, as long as you can destroy his monsters before he can even synchro summon since his cards are weak, not all...but since he specializes in synchros...and destroy his traps before he can even use it!!! >.< oh yeah before I forget, there was one time, in one term he actually filled up the field with his monsters due to effects to special summoning and of course no use of monster reborn there and synchro summoned twice or thrice o.o man it would be terribly hard to turn the tables if it was turbo and nitro warrior since their effects are cool.(and experienced that and yes it was hard go mirror force!! :D)

Jaden? as I said his defense was flunky!! I tag dueled with him, and the only way to beat him in a few turns is, wipe him out and overpower him fast... and don't make him summon anything lol! make it hard!! which is true... because our opponents just beat his heroes and spacians with various effects and we're like defenseless >.< and since his deck depends on fusion monsters, it was hard, until he finally had a good draw and was able to fusion summon -.-... it wasn't really bad, it's just hard to defend with him >.<. and can't you believe alexis defeated us T-T... well she is also strong -.-... even against truesdale...

Yugi, I have to agree with the mish mash thing, since I really can't find what his deck concentrates on... is it dark magician, or whatever... and yes I can agree to other users that there are monsters that are more powerful than dark magician with cool effects... maybe if he concentrates more on enhancing his dark magician maybe he might win... I mean, as I said not bias, it's his deck is the problem.-.-...(haven't and never had fought with yugi since I don't know a game where I can actually tag duel or just battle him in whatever unit...if someone knows do tell me via here...) he just needs to concentrate on his dark magician!! >.<

and that's the way I can conclude who's and who's not strong, since the decks were shuffled, it was definitely shuffled because one time, yusei and jaden only had a hand filled with effing spells and no monsters =.= totally bad draw rar... and good thing yusei has that scarecrow thing -.-....

so yes, I go for yusei for his wicked cool defense and fast summoning followed by yugi... as long as he edits his deck... plus his lucky anyways, even if he doesn't edit his deck -.-... (agrees to another user, saying that yugi losing would be bad publicity)... and jaden last, its not that I don't like him as I said Jaden has fire power, as long he's able to fusion summon, or get his heroes together, I actually like his hero spell cards... wicked effects actually and like his deck since it's a deck that actually concentrates on something, but, I don't know... maybe they're actually equal too... if they draw good ones, but yusei actually has strategy to follow that up, it's like even if his deck is shuffled to the max, even if he got bad draws, he's able to cover it up (seen that as I duel him or duel with him even if it's a computer) and the cards on his deck connects same with jaden... another fact jaden was beaten by yugi in the show, so assuming it's definitely a fight between yugi and yusei...

but even if I pick yusei, I can say it depends since they're all strong with their own weaknesses but with cool strategies to back it up hands down but it also depends on the draw plus its just my opinion based on observing their decks and gameplay, whether reality or the anime.... I mean all duelists depends on that, I depend too much on draw especially when I'll almost lose :p so there I pick yusei due to his card connection, chains, cool defense, card combos etc...

but I'm also still yugi's fan though -.- .....jz-randomewateruser-do0147

Be realistic. Its in the rulings...

To be true and honest, yusei will definitely win. I'm not biased or anything but a new gen deck is better than the first edition deck.

Yugi: Holy Ra! I'm so TCG.

Jaden: I could OTK you with just one card! yeah!

Yusei: My motorcycle gives me strength!(from YGOTAS)

Ok even if they duel, they'll be darned confused about the cards, rulings and stuff...

Yusei: I'll tune my monst...

Jaden: Oh, you're a guitarist?! rock on men!

Yusei: I mean I'll synchro summon. Arise Stardu...

Yugi: What in Anubis' name??? That's against the rules! Can you summon with that???

(Cue)(Kaiba: Screw the rules, I have money!)(from YGOTAS)

Yusei: What millenium are you? Dont you know this???

Jaden & Yugi: uhhhh...

--SilentHero26 09:34, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I pretty much agree with this. XD Sounds pretty real. I mean, that's what you get from making an ancient pharoah with an amnesia of some sort, a happy-go-lucky teenager and a calm, calculated punk. But... I don't think Jaden's deck would lose out to Yusei's deck. I mean, isn't that why Stratos got into the List anyway? 'Cuz it's too... well, splashable. As for Yusei, well... his deck is no pushover as is with Jaden's decks... whichever he'll be using. ;D Yugi, on the other hand, has a pretty much outdated deck with... absolute no strategy. Sorry, Atem's underlings. This ancient kiddo would have no luck in surviving the duels nowadays. =D 13:43, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Unfair comparison.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

It is obvious that Yugi will win.

I am not talking about Atem I am talking about Yugi the true King of Games he is known for having a very balanced deck and unlike his counterpart he can control his emotion even in a bad position.

Even though I have yet to see Yugi use the god cards you can tell that by looking at his level deck/ machine deck that he is a little better than the pharoah.

As for 2nd place it will be Yusei Fudo with his millions of overpowering monsters Majestic Star Dragon, Stardust Dragon/ Assualt Mode, Stardust Dragon, Junk Warrior, Nitro Warrior, Turbo warrior exc. that he is going to be second and he isn't an emotion crazy like Jaden Yuki only when needs he shows how he feels.

Yusei Fudo has an very bad deck setup though it relies on Synchro too much Royal Oppression will put Yusei and Jaden to there knees. 3rd Jaden Yuki I don't hate the guy he does have a few good duels but he relies to much on Fusion his downfall but his doesn't always need to fuse he got some good cards like Bladedge, Neos, Yubel and a few more others but kill his fusing abilities and he is a goner.

Also one more thing there aces who will win Dark Magician, Elemental Hero Neos, or Stardust Dragon.

=P Dark Magician because of it has more support than Neos or Stardust.

It is true that DM has a lot of spells that support him, but Stardust can sychro for Shooting Star and Quasar, Majestic, fuse for Draco-Equest,... Qun2092849 (talk • contribs) 21:17, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Secondly if you control the Gods Cards and have a pharoah in a keychain with unlimited dueling smarts that is like 2 vs 1 vs 1 so the answer to your who will win is Yugi Moto THE KING OF GAMES because of his abilities to have an equal deck and shuffle between fusion and tributing.

I would say Jaden would win. If and only if for one reason. He does in fact cheat. He has over 160 cards in his deck (more then 3 times the legal limit) and only one copy of each save polymerization and hero kid. (maybe a couple of others) Not only that but he can always draw EXACTLY which card he needs, when he needs it. Not to mention he has all the Yubel forms, and the Evil Heroes (which he probably wouldn't use, but he still has them.) So yeah Jaden would tottaly win ESPECIALLY if were talking about the manga, where he has access to the natural heroes such as earth, great tornado, and absolute zero. Yusei comes in second mostly because synchro spam screws poor yugi over big time.

personaly i think its pritty obvious thet Yusei would win think about it people he use's scnchro's Taylor ace

you guy notice all there ace have the same atk and def atk= 2500 and def=2000 and the ace monster are all the same level

Jaden

i think that Yugi would win, but Jaden is definately better than Yusei, and just for some people, there was an episode in GX, where Jaden beat the Winged Dragon Of Ra :)

possibility of a tie

They're all pretty good duelists and any one of them is strong on their own but if they faced each other i think jaden would go down first, and yusei, and yugi would bring each others life points to zero at the same time. Soundeffex 00:04, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

they all suck

a real life deck (thats good) could easily beat any of there decks so wat does it matter?

Then you're a true hater of them. --FredCat100 00:45, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

My opinion

Well, you're all actually forgetting one thing with the movie out. If you look, Atem/Yami Yugi WHATEVER you wanna call em has some updated cards that were reasonable. I mean hey, a trap card that doubles a monster's ATK? That's actually a pretty good one shot attack. That's a VERY easy OTK right there if he combos that with Dark Paladin. And you gotta figure that depending on WHEN they duel while Yusei has a god-like defense, could it stand up to Yugi OR Judai if they updated THEIR decks with synchro monsters and better strategies? (Well, maybe not synchros for Judai's who knows but at least an updated strategy could do some good for him

Furthermore, like everyone's been saying Yugi and Judai almost ALWAYS pull godly luck draws. Yusei one the otherhand is full on all skill and I've seen enough to know that if he wanted to he could brutally own someone. Judai's got an amazing deck synergy though and his cards flow almost like water as does Yusei's. Yugi on the otherhand has a very strict "deck of glass" even as Kaiba himself says. Again according to Kaiba that if you know Yugi's strategy and you can break it off before he can pull it off, you can either totally throw him off for a split second or leave him totally open for the kill. Ruining one core piece of Yugi's deck can just totally mean the end for him and I think that's what everyone's getting at here. And yes, they have ZERO synergy. Yusei and Judai however can very easily switch into another strategy or have several other reliable monsters in case of such an incident.

That's just strategy though. I'd say there, Yusei and Judai tie, and Yugi dies. Now on power, yes Judai fans Judai totally wins there. Yes it's granted that Yugi has god cards but several Neos fusions can easily go over 4000 attack points and Judai I believe has a monster destruction spell card. Since Gods are affected by spells (YES they are go look it up if you don't believe me) he could take them out, as could Yusei. Yusei could have a shot in power but his cards are more focused on just defending before he totally destroys the opponent's strategy and goes in for the kill. Yugi would actually in my opinion be second in power if anything for some of his more powerful monsters and of course the Egyptian God Monsters.

With power and strategy aside, there comes the final element being just the opinion. So with these factors I say:

Really, just a flat out draw. Yusei has way to many defenses that could keep him going FOREVER, Judai's power could hold him out for a really long time, especially if he manages to call out Yubel or Neos Wiseman and Yugi well, he's just epically lucky like that. In the end the final result would be either Yugi or Judai would probably summon some godly monster of monstrous attack strength and just as it's about to nail someone Yusei pulls a defense card that most likely ends the duel in a tie, some other circumstance occurs that forces the duel to end (like perhaps the 3 rivals wanting a piece of the action) or they could be gay like they were at the end of GX and blank out the screen and just vaguely hint to us what happened.

I got that, but remember Yusei is from the future, while Yugi and Jaden are in present era. That which mean either Yugi/Jaden not have know about Synchro till Yusei pulled it out of his pretty ass. --FredCat100 04:15, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Point taken. However, even then the two could update their decks. I still think it would end in a draw though cuz even the mightiest of defense walls must come down And luck would only get Judai so far and well, I think I've already explained Yugi's problems

• You're kidding. Judai uses too many situational cards. Yugi at least has the excuse of coming from the pre-archetype decks, as does Kaiba, who relies on beatdown and having strong cards no one else has access to. And strategy? Rewatch the Ceremonial Duel. Better than anything Yusei has done so far, and certainly better than Judai.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Atemu

Pharaoh is a God. If you remember his final duel with Yugi, he could actually Manipulate Fate to draw the cards he needed/wanted. It's not luck, and it's not "heart of the cards" (more like heart of the duelist anyway). So, obviously, he'd win hands down. Atemu, with his final deck, or his regular deck "updated" would be the winner.

Yugi's deck was built specifically to counter Atemu's deck, so that's why he won that time. But I think older Yugi, with an updated deck would stand a very high chance of winning against Yusei or Judai too.

Yusei's deck is just as much a mishmash of cards as Yugi's is, it's just a centralized strategy for syncro support His only adaptability comes from the various syncro monsters he can summon.

Judai's deck is the most adapatable out of them all, but the most reliant on luck (he has WAY too many cards in it, and it's loaded with single circumstance support cards). If luck was on his side, He'd come very close to defeating Yugi or Yusei, but if luck favored them all equally, he'd be the first to lose. (As much as I like Yubel, I have to say it, Judai's deck is the worst of them all) 70.247.169.204 13:46, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

I truly don't know. I've been watching the whole Yu-Gi-Oh! trilogy since I was 4, and since then, I've been rooting them all on. They are all great at dueling (duh, that's why they have their own series)and if they were dueling each other, it'd be epic. Truly, I don't think Judai/Jaden has much of a chance, so between Yugi and Yusei.

Different times, different rulings

Are we forgetting that the rules during Yugi's time were very sketchy. Remember, there was even no such thing as quick play spell cards. I can just imagine it now. Yugi goes "What do you mean I can't activate Monster Reborn during your turn?" and "How can you attack me with your fusion monster in the same turn that it was summoned, Jaden?"--Hide Head Turtle 15:56, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Yusei Must win

yusei muse win because he play inside 5d's rules . compare with jaden ,jaden win cause of

luck,in real life I think jaden can lose easlly.

Every character in the Anime and Manga wouldn't have a chanse against any player in thae reality. The only players that would have a small chanse is Andore, Crow and Kiryu (just because of their decks). Yusei plays a crap synchro deck, Jaden plays a forgotten archetype and Yugi play a random deck. Yugi and Yusei only win on luck, neither of them is good. The only thing I know about GX is think he is good at all that Jaden plays Neo-Spacians, but I dont. Btw, Crow missplays a lot against Bommer (I dont know the dubbed names, the dubbed versoin suck). If I had to pick any of them it would be Yusie, because he can syncho summon. Ancientgearking 16:23, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

• Just no. Rewatch the Ceremonial Duel. No one has played better than Yugi did.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yugi would win.

He has the Egyptian Gods and he believes in the heart of the cards. The Horror'^{Speak if you dare}

It doesn't matter....much.

It depends. If the creator of Yugioh make all three of them duel each other, its pretty obvious that yugi would win. In real life it would end up in a tie. I think they are beatable if today's duelist in real life dueled them.

Yugi

Lets all be honest here, the original is the best. And also as you guys say atem, I say yugi as he is the only character who can take on all three god cards in one go. Judai and yusei are cool in their own way but until they are staring down the major plot point for about four seasons straight and win, then I'll change my mind but for now, the little awsome that is Yugi Motou is who I'd pick. by the way, for those who think about deck synergy, lucky draws etc. do please remeber that this is an anime, it is ment for entertainment purposes only, you are right in saying that most characters only win by luck and little stratergy but it isn't ment to be serious and in a world ruled by a card game and friendship, I do find it surprising that the fans are dimanding logical deck construction. don't take this the wrong way, you are right, but do remeber the context that these characters and scenarios are in, this is a world where anything can happen and good draws do seem a bit tame after yami bakura sends people to hell it self. sorry for this text rant user:Jak Da Koopa 22, April, 2010

Don't know about who wins, but the final score would be:

After 1 loss: 1st: 2400, 2nd: 1700, 3rd: 0000

Final Result: 1st: 0100, 2nd/3rd: 0000

"How'd you arrive at those numbers?"

I guessed. Sabre Knight 05:07, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

yusei not lucky?

all of you say yusei has skill not luck but as you can see in episode 110 HE DRAWS 5 TUNERS IN A ROW isn't that luck--Arcanitejedi 12:49, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Unless all of his tuners were clusterfucked (pardon my French) together, which can happen when half of the cards in his deck are tuners, I myself have built a Yusei deck with all cards one of each up to TSHD, except Power Frame and the deck really relies on what your starting hand is. 24.12.251.225 15:56, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

hurdurhurdurhurdehahewho.

yugi

i think it would be yugi,, he faced more people , he won more opponents , we know more about him, he defeated the leader of arikalkos which was practically undefeated cause he did have a monster with infinite attack points and both of them where on 0 life points! i think its Yugi , and then he is the first yu-gi-oh character

Mind you yugi beat yami in the final episode so yugi can kick tail.

NO

ok this is seriously a stupid question,, the creator would not make a winner, because : his companies economy will fall , if some one likes yugi and yugi loses would he want to by his cards ,,,, NO and then how would the creator feel like ,, its like asking a kinder garden teacher to announce her favourite student in public ,, first of all how would she start even thinking about that,, why her student is the best same goes here each individual has his own pluses , third sais its yusei other third sais iys yugi and final third sais its jaden , there is absoloutly no way can we ever figure this out , if we were to make/create/write down the plot of the episode where they fight each other what would we say?????

We say "Destiny Draw went down to 5 dollars!!" Yugioh DED 23:09, June 6, 2010 (UTC)Yugioh DED

Yusei

Yusei ftw because he obviously has the most combos. Jaden's the coolest though. And Yami Yugi's classic, which I respect, but he doesn't come close with his dumbass useless Normal Monsters.

Yusei, hands down. While Judai and Yugi have luck, he's the only one with real skill. IronChain 15:47, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

• Might as well put down the rest of the old duelists too. Geesh. Effect monsters were rare back then. And you forgot Yugi's Ceremonial Duel performance. That was not luck. That was real skill.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

What We Know

Yugi, yugi has the worst deck of the three and only wins because of the cheap god cards that almost never have the same effects N00B (yes i called the king of games a N00B duelist)

Yusei, i'm not to sure bout yusei but his deck is stupid and really he ONLY wins with luck

Jaden, Jaden Beat a GOD not a god card a GOD and he has a real deck not just random cards like yugi (and partially yusei)

Look im sorry to say but who ever posted this is an idiot, yusei has the best deck out of both of them by far, neo spacians are terrible, I'm not joking there actualy terrible and for you too say they are better than yusei deck is just silly. I mean most of them go back to the extra deck once summoned and their effects aren't even that good. We all know in a duel yusei or yugi would win with jaden being at the bottom all the time.

• Not to mention Atemu played the gods, not Yugi, who by the way was the one to beat more than one god.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

First of all yugi deck is pure ass because most of his monster dont have effects and yusei is just pure ass him sefl because his cards effect are so dead on to what he need which i say is bull and luck.

TIE

I think that all of these duelists have a fair chance of winning.

Yugi's deck has some of the most essential yet powerful cards in the game (such as Mirror Force) which the other two respective decks lack since they are of a different focus. Yugi's old Dark Magician combo may be old, but it is NEVER to be underestimated. More and more combos became possible asthe long, original Yu-Gi-Oh! went on.

Jaden's Elemental Hero deck is amazing, though I must admit the the later-added Neo-Spacians are really, really bad. Nevertheless, Jaden can access and utilize several great ablities unique to several of his different Heroes. He also has many archetype-based support cards to help he get all the cards he needs. I must also mention that there are several Heroes that NEVER ACTUALLY APPEARED IN THE ANIME. I'd say that Jaden's deck, minus the neo-spacians and plus some more Heroes, would stand a very good and equal chance at winning a duel.

Yusei's Synchro Deck is amazing if used properly. It has great defense tactics and to protect the lower-level and lower-ATK Tuners required for Synchro Summoning. All of Yusei's Synchros are AWESOME. Yusei is definitely a competent player.

Yugi for one reason.

Its all Yugi because he can "MIND CRUSH" everyone if he wanted.

Still can't beat Kiaba at screwing the rules though. --174.29.86.55 08:18, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Is this the longest discussion ever because this is like World War 2 or something jeez. Fallensilence 09:04, June 15, 2010 (UTC)Fallensilence

In all Realism, Its gotta be Yusei, Majestic Star Dragon would Eat Yubel for breakfast, (Nom), Meteor Stream and Stardust's Effect would handle the Gods, and Yusei, though he runs some cards that arent out, He's the only one who doesnt run any cards on the ban list, Yugi and Monster Reborn, Jaden and Mirage of Nightmare. Stealing Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the beginning or Neos Wisemans effect using Majestic Star Dragon would make it easy for Yusei. Jaden would be more useful if he ran evil heroes and Super Polymerisation (though I Swear Evil Heroes can only be summoned with Dark Fusion/Calling, so technically Jim should have beaten him) Yugi could manage if he got Slifer on the field before anyone else got something decent on the field. Jack atlas, at least now he's gone all Burning Soul with Scar-Red Nova Dragon would beat both Yugi and Jaden easy, though he really needs to Duel Yusei again between Accel synchro summons and Scar Red Nova, it would be a good match

As much as I hate to admit it...

Yusei. Only because has Synchros and the other two have fusions. Yusei would run all over them with his synchros or syncrho fusions. Not to mention that Yugi or Jaden have a single Synchro/coutner Synchro, I bet Yugi could implement Synchros into his Deck, but Jaden = Synchros little city? No Way! Drew-Gi-Oh!

Thinking about it... =

I'm not sure. Yugi hasn't had a chace to update his deck, Jaden, with these new Elemental Hero fusions would do tons better. If you put Jaden and Yugioh in Yugi's time, Yugi would win (maybe) because of strategy and his heart of the cards. I would probably say Yugi, but with the new ban list, maybe not. (Dark Magician of Chaos rules!) Yugi would probably find a way o get past all the new startesgies Yugi is using. He beat Kaiba. The first time was luck, but come on, Kaiba. So I think Yugi. If he loses the first time, he'll just srategize a way to win. I've kind of changed my mind, but Yugi. Definetely him, if we get more Dark Magicians. Kwame120 (talk • contribs) 21:21, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Jaden uses the newest fusions in the Manga. As for Yugi and his strategy, it depends on whether you mean his anti-meta deck or the one he used after the ceremonial battle. His anti-meta deck wouldn't work, as the key cards aren't even real, but the other deck would do pretty well. If he included a tuner like Chaos-End Master or frequency magician, he might be able to beat Yusei outright. Jaden technicly didn't beat him when he dueled Dimitri, and the the ending to other one wasn't shown. Drew-Gi-Oh! (talk • contribs) 21:47, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Wait a second... The GX manga's still going? And everyone used was new in their time. Yusei Synchro's, Jaden Fusions, and Yugi...Yugi...introduced alot of stuff. Ritual's for one. So if they all updated their decks, I think Yugi, because he has great strategy. His deck's just, ewwy. Kwame120 (talk • contribs) 22:14, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Same here. You know anime characters these days. Full of luck and unexpected stuff. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 13:11, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

jaden

I say jaden because in the final duel between him and yugi spoiler alert! atem steps in and summons slifer the sky dragon or orisis whtever you want to call it and judai said go neos! 2500 to 5000 atk oviously jaden has something in mind and yusei in my opinion doesnt stand a chance his deck is all about summoning stardust a 2500 attack monster when tht thing is gone hes through and jaden can summon god neos yah yusei loses and they all have the luck of the draw i was watching an episode of 5ds i belive 65 and he hopes his deck comes through for him and it denies him and giv es sonic chick it was hilarious and then gets rid of speed counters to draw the good cards and again the stardust summon blah blah blah sorry he sucks and jaden/judai powers up alot againsit oppenets same with yugi so yah jaden wins

Not really. Yusei has pretty ok traps and plus he has pretty ok strategies with his synchros and a really good defense plan to back him up. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 23:35, September 15, 2010 (UTC) even still ok isnt good enough

Base on their ORGINAL Deck, Yusei would win, then jaden, then yugi. Base on strategy, will to win, option to pick the up-to- date cards(same rules for all), Yugi is the best king of games , then Yusei, and Jaden. Yugi figure out how to beat 3 god card in one turn. Yusei always win with 100 or less life points because he plans the entire match. Jaden has bad hand advantage, but powerful monsters combo with grave yard summon.

In the future yugi will build a perfect deck because they keep upgrading his monster.

I think a kitteh with a snippa rifle would win

Yugi

I would have to go with Yugi for this one. You have to remember that in our world, the cards play differently and some even have different effects so in the anime, Yugi's cards are actually much stronger not to mention he had Black Luster Soldier, Envoy of Beginning and Dark Magician of Chaos in his deck when it was on exhibit in GX. As the Game evolved, so did Yugi's Deck. And Remember his Sorceror of Dark Magic's movie effect? It not only negated traps but lowered your opponents attack by 500 for each spellcaster in your graveyard!That so broken that it wasn't even funny! So it depends on if you are judging by the anime effects of the cards or the real life effects. Also, in the first series, magic cards were usable like trap cards during your opponents turn if set face down.--DarkMagicRagnarok (talk • contribs) 17:34, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

It's because they used battle city rules. And besides with all the evolved cards, there are some cards that Yusei might have to save himself from that like Majestic Star Dragon or Shooting Star Dragon. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 14:16, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

I think that if Yugi was alive during the time 5d took place, he would probably have a much stronger deck since the game evolved significantly since his time. Although I have no idea when 5d takes place in the timeline. Anyways, I think the real Game breaker is Yugi's egyptian Gods since in the anime, they are insanely over-powered. Does Yusei have anything that can take down the god? and in YugiohR, Yugi has new cards like Gorz the emissary of darkness, Spellbinding Illusion and Arcana Knight Joker. In the new movie, he has Ancient Rules, and That card that allows him to summon Dark Magician Girl from his hand or deck if he has a Dark Magician on the field, and That card that lets him take an opponents monster while he has 2 spellcasters on the field.--DarkMagicRagnarok (talk • contribs) 04:34, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

sorry yugi isnt that great anymore especially now that he only relies on the gods and dark magician yusei oviously now is

Please don't tack on the end of my paragraph and sign your posts so people know its someone else posting. Also, How is relying on your most powerful cards a negative? We all rely on our powerful cards and build strategies around them. and if you ever read yugioh R, he never really relied on the Gods to win. when in a bind, doesnt Yusei also rely on his strongest cards? And Yugi's Dark Magician is his signature card just like how Yusei has Stardust Dragon and Jaden has Neos.--DarkMagicRagnarok (talk • contribs) 04:34, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

yusei would win. Yugi just have a bunch of useless cards and cant execute combo's with them. Dark magacian 2 tribute no effect with an low attack. yusei can just bring an junk archer or sometimes some other warriors in 1st turn. Jadens good but he relies to much on fusion.

The fusions are really good though if you think about it. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 01:22, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Non-effect types have a bunch of really good spell cards now. Just cause it doesnt have an effect doesnt mean it sucks. Not only that, Dark Magician has tons of support to get him out on the field so it doesnt really matter if he's 2 tribute or not. And I agree with fallensilence on fusions. Fusions can be incredible and jadens manga deck has fusion monsters who use 1 e-hero and a monster of a certain attribute which you can use super polymerization to fuse with your opponents monsters. He has a wide variety too so he covers almost all types.--DarkMagicRagnarok (talk • contribs) 16:08, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Alright u pull out dark magician with 2500 attack points in real life i summon stardust and then accel syncrho summon shooting star dragon i say pick up 5 cards 3 tuners among them tht means 3 attacks boom dark magian bye bye and then so is 6600 of your life points altogether thts 7400 ya yugi just got whooped.

I would include support cards for specific monsters as less as possible because most of the time it justbecomes a dead lock in your hand 188.221.224.25 (talk) 19:52, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

To the Shooting star dragon guy, Yugi activates Monster Reborn and Polymerization (like he does in the anime) and brings back Buster Blader and fuses them into Dark Paladin. Dark Paladin gain 500 for each of your dragons making his attack at least 3900 from shooting start and star dust. This is only according to how Yugi played in the anime, and lastly, Just because certain card support was made, it doesnt mean you have to put it in your deck.

They are all good

Yugi would not win without his milenium puzzle but still he is good with his god cards. Jaden is good with his fusions but without them he would be crap just like yugi and his puzzle. Yusei is cool and relaxed but he needs to get a few more better cards, but i have not watch enough to know about him.

yusei rocks

Yusei will win because he has the majestic star dragon which will Jadens elemtal heros and yugi stupid god cards. plus yusei can also turbo duel while the other two is only about skillv not speed Even leo can beat jaden and yugi. plus jaden is also fucking crazy and yugi believes in the heart of cards while yusei thinks the power of the heart of cards and way more. Yusei is quiet which makes him think better sometimes too quiet

Wat r u tryin to say. I personally think yusei would win, but i also like the play styles of yugi and jaden. 188.221.224.25 (talk) 22:49, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

It's so obvious

That the winner would be Yugi. And I mean Yami yugi, not the little one. Guys, look at the original question more carefully. It's not saying who has the better deck (in that case Yusei, Yugi's cards are outdated and Jaden's combos are highly situational), but the question is asking if those 3 were to duel each other who would come out on top. Yugi has millenium puzzle, which lets him draw whatever he wants. Jaden has Yubel's power, which doesn't do quite as much. And yusei, he's got the birthmark. It lights up, wow. He has actual viable combos and decent cards like Stardust, but he has no chance against the 2 biggest lucksacks in the history of Yugioh. IPlay4Fun (talk • contribs) 08:08, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yusei

Alright i feel that each of these duelist have their own strengths and weaknesses.

As a Duelist in real life Stardust is plain out broken because its affects don't target and it can take out my obelisk X( This drives me crazy when dueling my friend who runs a Yusei-style deck.

Your wroung because obelisk is uneffected by the effect of monster,spells and trap

Lets Start with Jaden(Jadai)

---

I personally Don't Like his Dueling Style, But it works for him; on top of that, every elemental hero has a fusion of some sort and all their Effects are amazing. This gives him so much room to plan and make his turn worth while. Next he uses "Contact Fusing" which was what lead to Synchro-Summoning don't forget. this also helps so much. Yes Jaden is lucky but he also obviously "found what he lost" at the moment he attacked Yugi, which definately works in his favor. So give some credit to the guy at Duel Academy. But his weaknesses are he is too unfocused and "La Di Da" Also he doesnt really pack enough punch, one turn power ups won't due, Woboku, Kuriboh and, Mirror Force will stop him in his track.

Yusei

---

Yusei is a very Exceptional and Skilled Duelist. You can't deny this. The whole Stardust family is incredibly powerful. but one Summoned Skull will take care of a Stardust in one attack. Yusei has some very power cards but they can easily be countered with some planning, for instance force a tribute like with dark hole and then attack his weaker monsters, not to mention his new star monster Shooting Star can only negate one destruction per-turn and doesn't get removed from the field like stardust. Yusei is TOO wrapped up in being defensive. But an amazing thing that Yusei Specializes in is the fact that he produces so many special summons that he can adapt, recover, defend, and go offensive. Also, Don't mess with Scrap Iron Scarecrow.

Yugi

---

Yugi runs very adaptive cards that can adjust to all types of duelists, but his cards are very outdated. On the other hand his cards are also very hard to beat and are strategic. (Well Monster Reborn and Mirror force are just BS) But you look at his top monster Dark Magician, and all the support cards and you can understand why he beats everyone in Battle City. They rival those of the more modern cards that force you to be strategic. Yugi is often too trigger happy to use his cards and protect his favorite card dark magician when sometimes he should let the sacrifice go, like a rook or knight in chess. His advantages are definitely his god cards and his luck. Disadvantages to the gods are the fact that he can't summon gods so quickly with there three monster tribute. the question though was without the gods so his deck would be way less over powered of course.

Yami

---

Alright so Yami cheats, "Oh yeah I can will my cards and pull a first turn all three gods on the field haha and I'm sexy" Anyway this would give Yugi boy an advantage but i feel as if Yami wouldn't step in until Jaden pulls Yubel and Yusei his Stardust. Not to mention the lack of the cheating Egyptian Gods. It would be decently fair because Yugi has less skill.

Draw

---

Well I noticed the mentioning of heart of the cards and luck, and Side Decks.

So heres how most of this would go down, All three use the "Heart of the Cards". Yugi portrays it out loud and preaches it like a sermon. Yusei in prison talks all about believing in the cards and wins with the old mans deck and the criminal deck. Not to mention, his random destiny draws that save him from losing with 100 life points left. And don't forget Jaden with his only one card to save my butt cards. As for Side Decks, a few cards that would help: Divine Wrath *personal favorite I always use at least one every duel, My heart of the cards*, Bottomless Trap Hole, Yugi's Magic Cylinder and Mirror Force, Tuners Scheme *If they update any cards* Negate Attack, Magic Jammer, Trap Jammer, and obviously the Wicked Gods and Sacred Gods(Beasts) would hold up. This would be incredibly Epic but I think Yusei would win because of his Adaptive-ness or that Yugi/Yami would cheat will his cards. Or Pegasus would step in and read everyones cards lol :) Sry it's so long had alot on each.

• You messed up a couple for things. Yami only willed his cards in the final duel. Yugi has more skill because he beat Yami when he was using said willing power and the god cards, even with the use of weaker cards.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 10:02, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

---

• Thanks for the correcting me :). Yugi does have more skill than Yami and we knew this had to be true because Yugi was destined to control Yami. But I was referring to Jaden and Yusei as having more skill due to the fact that they had to deal with everything that existed in Yugi's time and more. But thats just my oppinion though.

and Another thing I remembered is that all three of their ace monsters have 2500 ATK and they all have cards that support them throughout their decks. Mouthal (talk • contribs) 11:56, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

• • Here's the thing though: they also had more cards of their own at their disposal, especially when you consider Yusei and his synchros. I like to think Yugi might possibly use the magician synchros if he were to update his deck.--Azul120 (talk • contribs) 05:05, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
• I absolutely agree with this, one thing we I was always curious about is the difference in time between Yugi and Yusei; because that would make a huge difference in how well they could handle each other. And i think the question should have been reworded to Yugi with Slifer, so only one god vs Yubel and Shooting Star Dragon seeing as how those were possibly the more powerful Cards of Yugi's time and the 5 signers are gods on their own.

Mouthal (talk • contribs) 20:34, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

Yusei, no doubt about it!

Naturally with his Synchros Yusei would beat both Yugi and Jaden. Besides he has Shooting Star Dragon in his Extra Deck.--elementalknight (talk • contribs) 23:43, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

yusei is gay

trap cards

as i watched yugioh i noticed whoever had the most trap cards won. so from what i an gather the outcome is yugi had the most, followed by yusie, and then jaden, he rarely used trap cards. well thats compared to the other two. with that said jaden has lost horribly to yugi, not atem, or it wasnt supposed to be atem it was an older yugi. and yusie well his deck is very fluid but something about it does seem rite in real world rules and yusie does have stardust assualt mode. yugi on the other hand has an unlimited deck lol he can always draw for the win. heh lets toss a coin.

It is true, because traps can completely reverse the situation (e.g. Mirror Force). In the anime, they do this because it is more epic. But in real life, the Ancient Gears would cribble your poor traps..... 8-( This is also without counting Royal Decree, Jinzo, Sorcerer of Dark Magic,... Of course, with your theory that Yugi's cheating, this won't harm him a lot cuz he'll just put them on the bottom of his deck....... Qun2092849 (talk • contribs) 23:19, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

If you update all of their decks...

If you were to update all of their decks with the current cards that are out, it would be Yugi, Jaden, and Yusei, in that order. Yugi, because he could have the Wicked Gods, and probable Spellcaster synchros, Jaden because he could used Evil Heroes, Elemental Heroes, and Masked Heroes (assuming that the OCG support continues beyond mentioning them in card text), and Yusei, due to his reliance on Stardust incarnations. Just a thought. Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 19:44, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Adding in some ideas pretty late...

Before I can answer that question one needs to ask; which of their respective decks are they using? If Yugi is, per say, using his duelist kingdom deck (first season), Jaden is using his original Elemental Hero Deck (GX first season), and Yusei is using his initial deck (5Ds first season), then the only real question is who does what first; does Jaden pull out Flame Wingman and Skyscraper, or does Yusei summon Junk Warrior or another of his initial Synchrons? I only include those two because Yugi has no chance here. If Jaden summons his Wingman first, even with Skyscraper out, he loses, Yusei would synchro summon into a powerful Nitro Warrior, maybe combine it with Armory Arm, and end it there. Jaden wouldn't even be able to counter. Likewise, if Yusei summons ANY of his synchros first, it doesn't matter which one; next turn Jaden will pull of some combo, pull out wingman and skyscraper, and win.

So it comes down not only to what DECKS that the three are using, but also to WHO makes the first move, understand? Perhaps another example will help my explanation;

Yugi is using his final deck of the series (The one for the Ceremonial Duel), Jaden is using his respective final deck (which he plays, surprise, against Yugi), and Yusei is using his current deck that we know of (with about a billion Stardust Dragon variants).

Again now we need to know who does what first. Obviously, if Yugi pulls out a God Card in this scenario, the other two are put into a tough spot; Anime-wise, the Egyptian gods are nigh-unstoppable, immune to most effects and can gain an immeasurable amount of attack points fairly quickly. To defeat any of them, Jaden and Yusei would have to focus on cards that affect Yugi's FIELD rather than the cards ON it, not an easy thing to do.

Jaden's ultimate card (as far as I'm aware, anyway-correct me if I'm wrong) is Elemental Hero Divine Neos. Now, since this IS an anime, the tedious summoning conditions are easily bypassed. The card's final effect also offers a lot of versatility. Still, it lacks the immunity and the physical force that Yugi's own powerful God Cards possess; it simply wouldn't be much of a match-up unless Yugi used SEVERAL other cards to support it in an all-out brawl.

Similarly, Yusei's ultimate card, Shooting Star Dragon, has tedious summoning requirements, but he pulls it off enough anyway. Again, the card is good, but none of it's effects help it against the god cards. Still, Yusei was able to use it to defeat Sleeping Giant Thud, when combine with several other cards, so that gives him a slight edge in this battle.

Ultimately, however, a duel such as this would go about something like this, should this be a triangle-duel scenario;

The players take a few brief turns stalling each other and doing a small bit of damage. Each of them is able to summon out their respective ace monsters. After a few turns of suffering and great reduction of life points, said ace monsters are all destroyed in some way. At this point, it is up to the player's reserve ace monsters; cards like Dark Magician/Silent Magician, Flame Wingman, and Junk Warrior. The overall victor in the duel would be the player who has the largest collective amount of planning, bluffing, and luck (in addition to whoever the god-damned writers SAY is going to win.).

There is my (not-so) professional opinion on this matter. Good day.

Well, Let's Think About This

@ Everyone calling Yugi, Jaden/Judai and/or Yusei a luck-sack. OK, let's get something straight:

EVERY Yu-Gi-Oh! MC is a luck-sack.

It's true-they all have some magical power that helps them "cheat" and win duels. Yugi has Yami, Judai/Jaden has Yubel (he might not have gotten her until the 3rd season, but it's not like he was that amazing without her :P) and Yusei has the Crimson Dragon. And they all use the Heart-of-the-Cards bit. Magical powers aside, if none of them EVER got their powers, then Yusei would probably win. Yugi got good at dueling and won against Atemu and Bandit Keith from watching Yami play for him on the sidelines. He wouldn't be a very good duelist without him. Judai...he's a good duelist, I'll give him that, but there were just some times (even in the freaking first season) where he lost because he wasn't skilled enough. Yusei won a LOT of duels without any help from the Crimson Dragon. ACTUALLY, he won all the duels that are HUMANLY possible (w/o using any magical powers against anyone who wasn't using magical powers).

@ Everyone saying Yugi would win because the show is named after him

No, it's not. Yu Gi Oh literally means Game King in Japanese (Yugi meaning game and Oh, or Ou, meaning king). Judai (Jaden's Japanese name) means teenager and Yusei means planetary.

@ Everone saying that Judai/Jaden doesn't have a chance

Well, he was a main character, wasn't he? :P I didn't get much past DMGX (just wasn't too interesting), but Judai could probably put up a fight against those two.

@ People just randomly saying that the original was best, and that Atemu's the freaking Pharaoh, so Yugi's automatically gonna win

So? Judai's the freaking King of Darkness or something of that sort, and Yusei's THE FUTURE SOLE SURVIVOR OF HUMANITY!

@ The people who say that God cards pwn and no one can beat them!

What does God cards have to do with ANYTHING? It's a duel, you win with strategy.

Deck-wise at this very moment, I think Yusei would win. Judai has a strong offense, but Yusei has amazing defense. Yugi's deck has no balance-it's just card thrown randomly together. Yusei's deck is just faster and can deal out cards on the first turn. IF Yugi and Judai did upgrade to Synchros, then it would be an extremely interesting battle.

So yes, if there was a duel between all three Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonists, Yusei would win. If Yugi and Judai upgraded their decks, I'd still kind of be rooting for Yusei.

Manga cards?

I don't know how accurate the Anime is to cards the characters have in the Manga, but if I'm not mistaken, Yugi and Jaden had even more powerful monsters in the Manga. In addition, Yugi could have access to the Wicked Gods from Yu-Gi-Oh R. I guess it all comes down to whether or not their decks are the same as they are at the end of their series. If they are, then, according to the anime, it would come down to Yugi and Yusei, considering Yugi beats Jaden at the end of GX. If they're not, and they are expanded to meet the rest of the manga cards, and the support that has since come out for their respective decks, then it could be any of them. Can we let the topic rest now? Maybe if we're lucky the end of 5D's will be the three of them dueling, to continue the trend from GX. Jon Kovacs (talk • contribs) 02:33, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Euh... Think a little bit: if you put Wicked + Egyptian Gods, it would require even more tributes and considering that putting 3 3-tributes monsters in a deck is already very heavy. Plus Dark Magician, DM Girl, Magician of Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier, Archefiend of Gilfer.................. and ........................ , it's gonna need a lot of tributes - more than what a deck can generate - even with a LOT of luck. (its gonna need 3 Lv Eater in the grave or something like this). Qun2092849 (talk • contribs) 23:39, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Just to be honest

knowing how yugi duels his deck is always upgrading..soooooo..his deck would actually be stronger than all of thiers combine. can u imagine his deck with tuners....do u really think he really would lose to those to if this deck got a upgrade to fit 5d's....im not sayin this because he is the king of games im jus stating facts...his deck always had a card for every and any situation..his deck was very well balance and the egyptian god is just another bonus. and i sure we all rememba the episode where he summoned all of them in 3 turns.. red eyes b. ruler (talk • contribs) 02:43, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Clarification

There is a lot of confusion about who would win, mainly because the duelists compete in different "metagames".

If this topic were titled "whose deck is the best?" it would clearly be Yusei. His deck is the fastest and and most consistent of the three.

But if the three duelists were to compete in the modern day, to build their own decks using the current pool of cards available to them OR if they were to do a three-way mirror match, I am quite certain the winner would be yugi. Maybe that is a preferential bias, since I grew up on the original show but I feel as if yugi is the one who is the most versatile duelist, regardless of what deck he uses. Think about that time he defeated Duke Devlin in Dungeon Dice Monsters, a game he never played before. Or when he dueled Noah and incorporated Kaibas strategy into his ow? I think it is pretty obvious that yugi is the best duelist and, if the three were to meet on an even playing field, he would emerge victoriousTrak0don (talk • contribs) 23:36, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Yugi

Luck or not, he cheats like no other. Kuribohs do not explode on contact, and you can't fuse a magic card with a monster to drain its attack. 98.200.216.138 (talk) 02:38, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Considering

Since all of the main characters (or maybe not Yusei, I haven't seen much 5Ds or read much of it's Manga-yet) seem to have crazy luck only at the end of duels, unless they are playing a non-essential character (whom they will easily defeat), they'll probably all end up at 500 LP, then play their best cards, and none will win, since their luck will kick in and they'll all beat each other.BobaFett2 (talk) 03:12, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yugi or Yusei

Either yugi or yusei will win

Why? Yugi will draw the correct cards excatly when he wants them. Then he can like freakin summon a god card in just 1 turn. Better yet maybe if will find some crazy way to summon all 3 god cards is one turn. When all 3 are out he will win. Silfer the sky dragon any monster summon attack lower than 2000 will die=GAY!!!

talking about a way to summon a god in a turn, have Malicious, Lv Eater x 2 in your grave. Remove malicious to summon malicious, then Lv eaters eat malicious's lv to S.S. them, and tribute them all. Qun2092849 (talk • contribs) 23:48, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Yusei maybe he will win because final moment he will find someway to clear out the field or if there are alot of monster he will just summon shooting star dragon and use the special effect and he will DRAW 5 TUNER MONSTER!!! Also Yusei will get his delta accel synchro so his new delta syncho card will be more gay than shooting star. So Yusei may win

Either way they all cheat to win. you don't see someone in real life draw 5 tuner monster at one go. If it happens that person is really lucky!!!

yusei would win

Um to think about it all the decks suck I mean ya the main cards are awesome but its the other cards that make a deck work like with yusei. I've hardly ever seen him use starlight road and jaden needs to use e-hero absoult zero and a few subs (king of the swamp,hex fusion monsters,etc) and yugi well his deck aways seem to change if he would play with his main cards that u see all the time in his show he get pwned. So with there crap decks and yugi not cheating making himself win or the dudes in japan making him win yusei would beat all of them with shooting star dargon drawing 5 tuners and have it equiped with somethiing to do extra damage and yugi would use mirror force but yusei would use starlight road and jaden.... idk maybe e-hero shining flare wingman or something

But if all of them were in yusei's time I know yugi would build that best deck and jaden would have some awesome new heros(maybe hero synchros. That be awesome) and yugi has a dark magican synchro or use a sweet spell caster deck Hey but yugi is like the only yugioh character who never loses jaden and yusei lose if the first few ep.

YUSEI WOULD WIN!with his stardust dragon that keeps on evolving,He would cream them!yusei more powerful

              HERE I JUST GONNA GET THIS OVER WITH ...YUSEI IS THE BEST!

Yeah, He would just destroy everyone with SPEEEEEEEED WARRIORRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides, Paradox would win , if it took all 3 to defeat him, imagine one-on-one.

If yusei gets stardust or any of his evolutions he wins, if yugi gets slyfer first, he wins, if jaden gets E-HERO Divine Neos first, he wins. But in a real duel, yugi's deck is really slow, jaden is second and yusei's the fastest of them all, he's able to summon SD in his first turn, and evolve him in the second, or even in the same turn. Yugi's top cards (mirror force, thousand knives and slyfer) destroy cards, so they'll be negated by SD, jaden deck is not high in attack, but have some good effects and might have a chance until either Shooting Star Dragon or SD/バスタ are summoned. Jaden's best card against Yusei is Rainbow neos, but he can only use it if he tags with Crystal Beasts. So... 1. Yusei 2. Yudai 3. Yugi

talking about speed, there's a combo to synchro Shooting Star, or even T.G Halbeld Cannon WITHOUT LOSING HAND ADVANTAGE!!! Qun2092849 (talk • contribs) 23:54, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Yusei Would

In my opinion Yusei would main reason being he has synchros and doesn't cheat + he is the only 1 who uses advanced format

yugi can't use slifer because it says in his text at the way bottom this card can't be used in a duel also yugi's monsters are mainly normal + his deck is slow but the number 1 reason he wouldn't win is he would be disqualified first because he cheats and uses cards incorrectly. Okay let's see how many cards Yugi's used incorrectly: Makiu, the Magical Mist does not drench the playing field with water and increase Summoned Skull atk by 1000, an equip spell like Mystical Moon cannot be attacked by a monster, Burning Land does not serve as a Raigeki, Magical Hats only works for one turn not any more than that, Spellbinding Circle is not Shadow Spell, Spellbinding Circle does not negate a flip effect, Catapult Turtle does not break your opponents Castle of Dark Illusions flotation ring or destroy Mirror Wall, Summoned Skull cannot take on Gate Guardian, Mystic Box does not destroy an opponent's monster without giving them a monster, Multiply does not create an infinite wall of Kuribohs, you cannot fuse Mammoth Graveyard with your opponents blue eyes ultimate dragon with Polymerization, Brain Control requires a cost, Catapult Turtle cannot destroy trap cards, Dark Magician does not turn into Dark Sage when your opponent uses Time Wizard, Horn of the Unicorn goes to the top of your deck if it's destroyed or sent to the grave, Mirror Force does not take any lps away from your opponent after their monster's are destroyed, you can't blind Thousand-Eyes Restrict with Kuribohs or take his absorbing effect with them and they don't self destruct on contact and you cannot atk while he's face-up.

Note that all these cards I mentioned were just used in season 1 there's no telling what other cards he misused in season 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Jaden probably wouldn't because he uses some of his cards incorrectly and he relies on drawing the correct card like yami/yugi I mean if someone just played Drop Off Jaden/Yugi would lose because they wouldn't have the heart of the cards anymore, also compared to synchros jaden's e-hero fusion are nothing special.

Yusei

Yusei has only lost one duel(and that was in a flashback mind you). Yugi has lost at least 3 times and forfeited once. And Jaden, do I need to say it?--DoitForTheLulZ! (talk • contribs) 02:03, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

First and foremost, “Yugi” / “Yami Yugi” would automatically be the winner if such a triple duel were to take place in the anime series due to the proper respect that is given to the protagonist who launched the series.

Furthermore, If the parameters of this question were modified to the current ban list (March 1rst 2011, the reason that I am specifying the current ban list is so that when this gets “archived”, the readers know what ban list to check) and using the “advanced” format (as this appears to me to be an “officially” sanctioned tournament), I would have to say that the winner would be none other than “Yusei Fudo”. Why is this so, you ask? Well, let us look at the following please…

(1) “Stardust Dragon” decks are faster than “Elemental Hero” decks! “Dark Magician” decks are the slowest ones in the group (with all due respect, please do not get angry at me because I am stating my opinion, I hope that you understand that I am not “bashing” the other deck builds at all; I am just being honest about the situation).

(2) “Stardust Dragon” decks are more dangerous than “Elemental Hero” decks and “Dark Magician” decks (with all due respect, please do not get angry at me because I am stating my opinion, I hope that you understand that I am not “bashing” the other deck builds at all; I am just being honest about the situation).

Please look at my “User Profile” information on the deck build that I use when I duel, I am proud to use it and I am not ashamed or too blind to know that following statement is true… You all are probably better duelist than me, but even with my lame and pathetic dueling skills, "Yusei" clearly has the best dueling deck!

• My “Vanilla” Beatdown Deck SUCKS! because of the following reasons…

(1) It is too slow!

(2) It relies too much on brute force!

(3) The combined effects of the monster cards and spell / trap cards that my opponents use will overwhelm me!

But… I don’t care because even with all of these factors going against my dueling deck, If I am able to catch my opponent off guard with a “dead hand” (a.k.a my opponent cannot use “most” or “all” of the cards in their hand for whatever reason), I can grind my opponent’s LP in dust with brute force and the monster removal capabilities of my deck are insane! Like I said, all I want is “1” win against a synchro deck! I don’t care if I loose 1,000,000 times in a row because according to the mathematical laws of probability, my chances of winning are not “zero”.

• if you're talking meta variants of their deck, i.e. gemini miracle vs yusei hime...tough call.

-imma let you finish but i think judai is the greatest duelist of all time (manga) 86.42.247.42 (talk) 23:06, May 13, 2011 (UTC)SBB

YUGI OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i cant believe people are even thinking bout this!!! YUGI WOULD WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he is the KING OF GAMES!!!!!!!!!! and is the most greatest hero (out of jaden and yusei) YUGI WILL WIN HANDS DOWN!!! he beat Seto Kaiba and lets not forget the creator of duel monsters Maximillion Pegasus! AND HIS GOT ATEM THE PHARAOH! its so obvious he would win. Yusei has a birthmark. Wow (sarcasm) and Jaden is a NOOB!!!!!!!! YUGI WILL WIN HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i wrote that twice)

im uber sure yugi would win mostly because hes the only one there that runs a magic cylinder and he also has envoy of the beginning and mirror force and lets not even talk about the god cards Eyemaker (talk • contribs) 19:12, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Dude he does not have Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning he has the cheap Black Luster Soldier and if you didn't notice Yugi misuses all his cards and the Egyptian Gods can't be used in duels except the legal which he didn't have. Also just because he runs staples doesn't mean he'll win. 24.22.44.158 (talk) 01:08, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

META VERSION

If their deck were remade into a meta version i.e. yusei=choas plants or quickdraw dandy warior. judai= hero beat/ hero gate. but yugi just really has a topdeck deck, but maybe with the good spellcaster support like that Secret Village of the Spellcasters. i would say it would be close between yusei vs judai...buut tbh i think judai would win :P maybe because i like heroes :) 86.44.157.249 (talk) 17:02, May 27, 2011 (UTC)sbb

think about it!!!!!!!!

ok first of all.... shut up all of you!!! don't you guys think this is just idiotic because:

1.all the powers of yugi,jaden and yusei are the same. the power of the cards just make th powers look different

2. there isn't any yuma in the bet so add yuma too.

ok so... think about it!!!!!!!!

Not Yuma cuz he's as pathetic as Jaden... XD (.....at least until now) Qun2092849 (talk • contribs) 00:13, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

My thoughts....

I read through most of this and I think there needs to be a few things that needs to be cleared up before seeing who is the better player. Also due to being an in-universe thing I think that Yugi, Jaden & Yusei shouldn't have access to the new ZeXal card pool since I think ZeXal is set in a different universe since so far no references to any of the old series or Domino City has been mentioned.

• Atem left after the ceremonial battle and losing to Yugi so Yugi will not have Atem helping him in any further games but its safe to assume that Yugi is more confident to play on his own since then. Remember from GX he has BLS-EotB as his key card so by the 5Ds era and the increase in card pool its safe to assume Yugi would've built his deck to work around it.

• Jaden will probably gotten more HERO cards since travelling with Yubel and would've adapted his deck to the new rulings also out of all the characters he would still have his spirit helper since Yubel never left.

• Yusei doesn't have the Crimson Dragon anymore since it left all the Singers at the end of 5Ds so its safe to assume he updated his deck at the end so since the end he is just like Yugi in terms he doesn't have that special luck anymore.

At the moment I think the one who would win is either Yugi or Yusei, since both of them are just normal players at the end of the series the match would be more even but its hard to see if one or the other will win, Jaden's deck has always needed alot of luck to pull it off and even with a bigger card pool.

ZeXal has just begun so lets not get ahead of ourselves and add Yuma just yet but if you do he would lose to everyone since without Astral's help he would either play his cards wrong or mess up but in time I think Yuma would win and why is explained in my opening.LDEvolution (talk • contribs)

• first off watch yugioh bonds beyond time yugi,jaden,and yusei are all in it.Next off what the question there deck battling in a real life seniro or a cannon duel because in a real duel yusei`s deck would win because of his precation cards.yugi`s deck is is not practical but in a cannon duel yugi would win with his belief of the heart of the cards and god cards but yusei and jadden would then have a tie

My observations...

Upon the battle between the 3 king of duelists, I'd like to clear some thing about them.

---

DECK---------------------

Yami

I don't know. Yami's deck is pretty much composed of some random cards and it will change per duel. I don't like the idea that some of his cards are far too useless unless pulled off by director's command. Example will be Curse of Dragon and effect-less Gaia. Who the hell will put those things in their deck?! Yami only gradually manage to pull off it's use with it's attacks. But seeing it otherwise, most of his cards doesn't go well with each other. Yugi has a random deck. There are only recognizable good portions of his deck, Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder, Swords of reveling light, monster reborn etc.

There is no known strategy for it except Yami just getting out of opponent's pinch. His most notable pressure will be the god cards, which people think will make him win over the other 2 protagonist but hey, Yugi defeated them all at the same time. There's no point in saying absurd things as both Judai and Yusei has encountered a lot of overpowered opponents in their way and YET they didn't use any overpowered cards. Shame on Yami in this part. Yami relies too much on over-powerful cards on the later parts of his journey. It will be good if he is actually defeating them all like nuts, just like what Yugi did. But well, the writers want Yami to look powerful with those so what can we do about it. But guys shouldn't be blindsided by it. Gods doesn't give Yami total advantage. To think about it, everyone knows what Gods cards are capable of(yeah, even Yusei knows about the god cards, mind everyone). And Judai got some experiences himself dealing with Rah and that's without the use of another over-powerful card(again, shame on Yami).So even with god cards, Yami doesn't have 100% chance of winning.

Anyway, the point is that Yami's deck is not really that offensive. He can count on some of his defensive states, like Celtic Guardian, swords of revealing light, anti-attack traps and then pull off some turntables with his aces. Still, Yami also has offensive games. Any deck has, in fact. It's just that no strategy can be viewed from it.

Judai

I always hate it when people point out Judai doesn't stand a chance. Heck, because he's not cool in personality? Because GX sucks in their view? Whatever the reason is, THEY'RE WRONG!!! 100% WRONG!!!

Judai's deck has the "BEST OFFENSIVE ABILITY" out of the three. Don't even try to disagree with this. His fusion's comes with little-to-no effort summoning and that's based on real life experience. If ever you have been able to use an E-Hero deck quite good, then you know what I am talking about. In fact, it doesn't really matter if he don't have polymerization in his deck. Judai is a fusion powerhouse. He WILL find a way to fuse monsters, specially with his skills. No body in the anime can beat him in fusion summoning.

Judai also can get an easy advantage in attack power above Yugi basically but not that easy against Yusei. E-Heros are powerful for overwhelming defensive opponents. And they come in any situations possible. And mind everyone, He can has a wide variety of fusions. There are many combinations, and most are very powerful. Might it be piercing, effect damage, additional destroy or altogether, Judai's fusions masters those. And notably, he has some new aces for the movie. Well, can't help it. His deck has the most powerful offensive combinations. For Yugi's deck, it'll be hard. For Yusei's deck, well, there's considerations.

Now, despite all this, Judai's deck has the least defense. Judai can defend himself by giving more powerful monsters on the field. But hey, Judai gets some good spell and traps too. Although, most are waiting-types. Yeah, some equips are really pissing and in real life, that's the greatest weakness of E-Hero. However, Judai make-up for it with his very own designed Neo-Spacians. His Neos fusions are undoubtedly his specialty. But they go to deck at end phase. Well, It's really pissy but some cards always pull's off Judai's Neos so not for him to worry, isn't it?

Yusei

Yusei's deck is synchro and for an anime deck, is smartly made. I like his deck as much as Judai's. Yusei is swarm. Yes! SWARM. I like I when Yusei is getting monsters and then getting monsters and synchro. Then gets monsters and gets another one. Like HELL! Yusei's deck is so swarm that you rarely see him advance summon a monster. This goes without saying, Yusei has the fastest deck in the three. He pulls good cards very easy despite not having a central strategy like that of Judai's deck and that's thanks to his cards that gets another cards.It's all understandable. After all, his deck needs the most skill to utilize. His cards are mostly composed of adjusting levels and too bad synchros need to be exact in level. Plus the fact the his playing riding duel, restricting his spells much.

Just like Judai's, Yusei's synchros are powerful. His non-Starlame synchros are field worthy and they even get more ability by the fact that Yusei's synchro materials have additional benefits when they are used for synchro summon. Getting to his main dish, his Starlame family is tremendously powerful but is really hard to maintain for real-life duelist. Considering he has a wild variety of Stardust-based monsters, you might think that Yusei is hopeless when Starlame dragon bites the dust. But don't even think about it. Yusei controls his dead cards better than Yugi and Judai. Be it Starlame dragon being in graveyard or remove from play, he can manage to get a way and acquire it back. His deck always has the great ability to give him starlame dragon where ever it is. Heck even if they are on opponent. Well, I guess Yusei is not afraid of the words "remove from play" that other duelist might be wetting they pants about.

I also think Yusei's deck has the best defensive in the 3. Yusei plays with starlame family to survive barrages of combos, and it can be pissing for opponent once Yusei sets his Scrap Iron Scarecrow. That's a nasty trap card that I want to get my hands with, seriously. Even the gang banging of 3 Polar gods, Temporals and some more asses didn't penetrate against his synchro awesomeness because he had main character Deus Ex Machina.

---

Another things to clear out:

JUDAI IS NOT AN UNFOCUSED AND A NOOB DUELIST!!! What makes people think Judai in not very focused in dueling? Judai has been a very combatant duelist ever since he step to season 4. And mind everyone, he is very good in focus that Judai can even win based on card calculations. That was against a very good deck-destruction duelist he fought. I don't really like the fact that people are underestimating Judai for his un-cool personality. Who ever said Judai is noob??? Can a noob defeat 3 demon cards, a god card, par with Yubel and Yugi? Like seriously, they are clearly underestimating Judai.

Strong cars vs God cards??? Oh like hell... Everyone is asking things like "Does Judai/Yusei have a card to go up against the gods?", which is plain stupid to ask. Yugi destroyed the living crap out of the three of them without using powerful monster. What makes people think Yusei or Judai should have one to try and take it down?

Special powers = Pure win!!! Another crazy thing. The protagonist's special attributes doesn't really give them any "plus" in dueling. Yugi/Yami's millennium puzzle doesn't actually give them the ability to draw the cards they want. Judai's yubel doesn't really give him the same ability either(what does yubel have to do with Judai's dueling, honestly???) and Yusei's crimson dragon are but willpower for him.

Final Episode of GX is convincing??? Oh please, why do people have to judge Judai's skills to Yugi based on the final episode of GX, for god sake!!!??? Didn't people really noticed it? JUDAI LOST ON PURPOSE!!!!! He attack Slifer himself. If he didn't, the battle is still not over since Slifer will go back to the graveyard.

All of them are overpowered!!! So let me get this straight. For people saying Judai and Yusei also has overpowered cards, mind you, that is nothing compared to God card's summoning condition. 3 Tributes is so easy even for casual duelist.

King of Duelist automatically wins "Yugi/Yami is the king of Games!!! They will win!!!"... These are getting irritating as always. Who cares if Yugi is the king of duelist. A person will be beaten by a better person regardless of his title. Yugi being king of duelist doesn't automatically give him a winning streak. By the way, Judai and Yusei are King of Duelists and legendary as well...

Luck... Ok, for people here saying a protagonist only wins by luck is not really acceptable. We all know some of their duels are in accordance to a "lucky draw" stuff, but we can't put a blind eye on the things they have accomplished with their skills. Hell, Yusei's win over 3 polar gods = Deus Ex Machina! Yusei's win over team unicorn = even more Deus Ex Machina!

---

Ok, this time i won't say who actually will win. It's up to the writers. In terms of skill, it's hard to decide. But I will say Yusei because his deck requires one hell of a skill to utilize. Besides, he's planning, bluffing and cautions are far more realistic than the other 2. Plus, his cards are hard to maintain.

But anyway, It's hard to decide who will win...

Jaden or Yugi

I don't know how some of you guys say that yusei's deck is consistent. It is always stacked full of new cards every duel, most of which he only uses once, to the point where he practically has a new deck every duel. And if you look at Jaden's deck, he uses a lot of his cards more than once, more than yusei and yugi does, making his deck more consistent than all of the 3 protagonists. If each protagonist was to stick to the cards that they mainly use, which yusei doesn't have as much as the other protagonists, then Jaden would probably win. But if you take into account that Yugi was able to beat Yami, who had all 3 Egyptian gods on the field and at the same time, not to mention that Yami has the power to draw the exact card that he wants, which the other two can't do, then Yugi would win, as the other 2 haven't been in a situation like that. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 21:42, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

ok first sign your posts, secondly, what the hell? The main problem people have with Jaden is that he ass-pulls a new card every match. Yusei is quite consistent, using the same stuff a lot like stardust and junk warrior. For GX, every episode is a let's see what new elemental hero jaden hasnt pulled out of his 3 million size extra deck yet. So yeah you got that mega backwards dude, Jaden is not consistent at all. I'm not saying Jaden is bad, I'm just saying your points are backwards to what it actually is. Neon Rider (talk • contribs) 17:17, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Are you serious? Don't you notice that in just about every duel, yusei pulls out like 5 brand new cards he only uses once? and no, if you watch yugioh gx properly, Jaden doesn't debut a new a hero every single time. I admit he does have some one time only cards, but Yusei has a lot more. Look at his duels from the WRGP onwards, he debuts probably 5 or more new cards per duel that he only uses once, even in the previous season he did the same thing. And if you notice, ever since he got his shooting star dragon, he rarely used a non stardust related synchro afterwards, apart from his final duel with Jack and his duel with Z-one. Jaden always uses the same Elemental Heroes and Neo spacians, sure he debuts a few new heroes which he only uses once, but Yusei will just debut some random monsters and trap cards which he only uses once to synchro summon his shooting star dragon, so no, his deck isn't consistent. I'm not saying Jaden's deck is perfectly consistent, but it does have significantly less one time only cards than Yusei's deck, so your points are all backwards, not mine. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 21:42, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, seriously though guys, how many times have we seen Yugi pull out some random ass card from nowhere and never use it again? Disgraceful Charity, Brave Attack, Relay Soul, Magical Academy, Pump Up, Reduction Barrier, Natural Selection, Royal Straight Slasher, Dark Magic Retribution, and more. All three of them do all the same crap. The only real difference is their intelligence levels. So, since Jaden makes Joey Wheeler seem smart, I don't think he stands a chance. Skullvarnish (talk • contribs) 19:21, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

All I'm saying is that Jaden does it the least, while everyone seems to think he does it the most when he doesn't if you look at his deck properly. I'm not saying that he doesn't do it at all. And no, Jaden does duel smartly, he just shows more excitement to duels than the other protagonists, even in life threatening situations, which makes him seem stupid, but he's way smarter than Joey. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 21:42, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

lol, you're right, no one's dumber than Joey.

"I don't get it, what's that dog under?"

Also, Sartorius was a tougher opponent than Marik. I just feel that either Yugi or Yusei would win. Skullvarnish (talk • contribs) 19:34, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yusei does have skill, but I'm sick and tired of everyone saying that Jaden always ass pulls out a one time only card in every duel more than any other protagonist, which makes his deck inconsistent, but Yusei does that far more often. He always debuts random monsters and trap cards that he only uses once, more so than Jaden. He probably debuts 5 or more new cards per duel, most of which he only uses once; Jaden doesn't debut that many new cards per duel if you look at his deck closely. Also ever since he got shooting star dragon, yusei hardly used any synchro monster other than that one. Before that, it was either Stardust Dragon of Junk Warrior. Jaden doesn't just focus on using Neos or flame wingman, he uses practically most of his heroes, whereas Yusei practically just focuses on Stardust dragon, Shooting Star Dragon and Junk Warrior. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 21:42, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

No, you're totally right. I was just pointing out that they all do it, a lot. Even Yugi. It's just, for me, I can't see Jaden winning. It's not even about skill. In a three-way duel, the best player rarely wins. I just feel that Yugi would be the best at trying to deal with two great opponents at the same time. Skullvarnish (talk • contribs) 20:57, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough. I agree with you on the fact that Yugi is better than Jaden and that they all pull out one time only cards, but literally, the only excuse that people can come up with to make Yusei better than Jaden is that they say that Jaden always pulls out a random one time only card in every duel more than yusei or yugi and because of that has a very inconsistent deck; whereas if you actually look at it, Yusei pulls out random one time only cards far more often than Jaden or Yugi. I'm just sick and tired of people making that stupid excuse about Jaden when its not even true; I'm glad that somebody is able to notice that about Yusei's deck, no one else seems to mention or notice that about his deck. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 21:42, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Another thing to look at is mental stamina. The way all 3 of these guys play, this duel could go 50+ turns. That's the difference maker. I'm not sure who would necessarily have the edge there. Skullvarnish (talk • contribs) 21:19, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

I never thought about that factor, but given Jaden's love of dueling being outrageously high, he could probably have the edge. I know this is a really stupid question so forgive me, but do you know how to sign your posts. I'm new to the forums section of the wiki so I don't know Neos01 (talk • contribs) 21:42, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, that actually could help Jaden a lot...
