For those that wanna see the original duel this video was based on:

UPDATED LINK SINCE THEY MADE THE REPLAY PRIVATE LIKE WHAT?!

[captainH]

Okay but the realization that the Exodia FTK utilized every summoning mechanic (Fusion, XYZ, Synchro, Pendulum, and Link) to achieve Yugioh's oldest alternative win condition make it feel like something that a "Yugioh protag to end all yugioh protag" do in the duel against a final boss

[literal-tree]

the opponent reminding you of an effect you forgot to resolve is so real lmao

[absoul]

"Oh btw you're supposed to add Durendal to your hand due to Renaud's effect."

"Thank you, Kaiba."

"Don't mention it."

I was dying of laughter.

[Omarsbc]

“I construct the overlay network” never thought I would hear Yami Yugi say that

[talleywa]

2000: "Oh my god he summoned 3 blue eyes?! I'm finished!"
2024: "Oh thank god he only summoned 3 blue eyes. He's finished!"

[Real_Amphy]

"And like many explorers, he never journies alone."
What a Yami yugi ass line.

[ClanCrusher]

The humor of this video works on so many levels. People who saw the match get to enjoy the recreation in the anime, people who don't understand modern Yu-Gi-Oh get to laugh at how absurdly complex all of the moving pieces have become, and people who know the anime can simply enjoy the parody. Absolute master class of a video.

"I've never seen a pile of junk work so fluidly"

In my last duel against a 60 card deck, I saw about 15 different archetypes team up to kick my ass.

For those who don't know, either because they're outside of the Yugioh Competitive Community or, for some reason, you're in the year 3088 and all record of Jeff Leonard has been turned to dust -- Jeff Leonard is (at the time writing) one of the most well regarded Yugioh players in the modern day.

Jeff is a man in his 60s who made a name for himself in 2019 running Wave Motion Cannon/Mystic Mine Lock where he had *ONLY* 3 monster cards in his entire main deck (D.D Guide) where his strategy was to essentially prevent you from playing the game, while Wave Motion Cannon built up charge to blow you away, and in 2023 he won with *EXODIA* against a well recognized player in the competitive yugioh scene (Justin Singh).

As Jeff is an older man, using very off-meta decks and winning he has made a name for himself in the yugioh community, both casually and competitively, and the meme is that his probably about as close to "Yugi's Grandpa IRL" as we've ever seen.

"I'm going to lose to a meme"

Kaiba living the everyday Master Duel experience

3:25 “Alright Kaiba, now I shall play the indestructible Infernoble Arms Durandal“
*_immediately destroys it_*

[captainH]

"Why did I bring Blue-Eyes to a YCS" actually killed me. Good job man

[palrobot]

"these two roommates" in the utena rose frame absolutely destroyed me, 10/10, i don't even play YGO

[Jotari]

"A creature born to explore the ever expanding realms of new space, and like many explorers, Kaiba, he never journeys alone" is absolutely on point as dialogue. It sounds like it's lifted directly from the show.

[abyssGazerTV]

"I'm going to lose to a meme!" is the kind of line you'd love to hear under almost any circumstance.

[StoicForce]

In hindsight, it was a really obvious joke, but "Who's Mokuba?" got the biggest laugh out of me. Kaiba's stupid smile while saying it probably helped sell the punchline.

[Rahhelthethird]

8:30 "Exodia! It's not possible! He hasn't been summoned since 2010!"

[DarthMater]

I think my favorite thing about the joke is that it even strengthens the story of the original duel because it turns Exodia from something Yugi lucked into to something he earned.

[Abunai_Gaming]

This is so good. Immortalizing a historic moment in Yugioh history, the meme factor, and adding the anime style flair is so good. And props for including the "one more piece" chants that we all heard around the world.
