We all know Yugioh! GX was a huge failure. So Which one do you think is the best?! Very Happy

Vote now!!!!

To be fair, GX actually had some clever deconstructionary elements, which the other series' seem to lack. Sadly, the clever bits in GX were drowned out by its other aspects; trying deconstruct The Ace / the Boring Invincible Hero sounds like a good idea until you realize that the only way to do so is to put up with this character for the entire series and make him hog all the screentime.

Well said Crab.

I preferred Judai's manga lose to his anime loses, because that was just a good twist. (I mean not winning the tournament and Manjoume doing so instead) GX did have some good episodes, I liked how Season 4 went if you cut the final 4 episodes off. (Yugi killed it)

5ds...

Up for the Black Rose!

**Barragan Luisenbarn** · 02-10-2009, 02:50 PM

5D's. For being way more awesome and including almost twice the Godwin and up to four times the Rudger.

**Rua** · 02-10-2009, 03:04 PM

5Ds wins because it has the twins.

Shockwave™ · 02-11-2009, 05:32 PM

5D's

but Yu-Gi-Oh was great in its time

Ezio · 02-17-2009, 04:49 PM

Yu-Gi-Oh wins hands down to me!
Yugi Mutou is the best Jaden Yuki and Yusei Fudo would DIE at his hands!
He always finds a way to beat any monster played!

Indeed. All of Judai's regular anime losses didn't have the same effect, and he only didn't win the GX tournament because he was too busy saving the world from the king of Andorra or something. It's like they chose his losses specifically to make him look even more overpowered.

On another note, if you think about DM, the Society of Light's recruitment method is a hilarious deconstruction. That, at least, was done reasonably well.

I've watched a bit of 5D's, and thank God they made some improvments from GX, but I'm still a die-hard fan of the original, especially the manga.

Seto Kaiba FTW

Yugi: Always has a card that makes him win, but would be pointless in any other situation.
Jaden: Stacks his deck.
Yusei: Always has the same cards.

I think 5ds is better.

No I think Japen's Fusion Deck is bigger then his own deck
and Motorbike duel-disks are dumb

Are dumb? Very well said not. They add an extra dimension on it and give them a reason to get hurt without the use of a Yami No Game, such as Yusei's dangerous injury and JACK's sprained or broken arm.

Crystal are you talking just about his Anime Deck or his Manga deck for Judai? Plus LaDD pwned him.

In real life Jaden's deck wouldn't even be tournament legal and nobody would duel him. Besides if you think his deck is really as good as the writers make it seem then you would see more e-hero junk than dark armed dragon decks. As for dueling motorcycles I don't see whats so weird about them.

1) Anime follows different rules (Its impossible for the anime to follow banlists)
2) Judai's cards were around before the rules that limited them was.
3) E-Heroes were probably just used by Judai to sell. E-Hero Stratos isn't doing too bad though.

But guys, Dont you remember how awesome GX was? Its the only reason WHY we keep using Rampart Blaster

**Rua** · 02-25-2009, 03:48 PM

GX Manga is better, Kaiser trashed Manjoume like a bug, despite Manjoume having managed to get his best cards out. (And beating Judai his previous duel)

GX starts following the real-life banlist sometime during Seasons 2 and 3. That's why everyone stops running Pot of Greed, and Judai starts using Fifth Hope instead of the Mirage of Nightmare + Emergency Provisions combo.

And then they were used in every bloody episode and took up about a quarter of every single card set, making all of them collectively The Wesley.

Yu-Gi-Oh FTW !

I really prefer long duels, yu-gi-oh duels were great, lasting for 2 to 6 episodes. Also yami yugi pwns all, his decks were always amazing. Unlike the stupid hero decks jaden use, and the completely random deck yusei use.

GX was an epic Fail.
5D's is, well, very good

but still YGO is better.
I WANT LONG DUELS BACK -_-
