Let's not forget that Standard Dimension only have extra deck summons due to Akaba Reiji's actions. He monopolized the market by discovering the traveling machine through all 4 dimensions, he mastered all extra deck summons and then opened LDS with his own father's company founding, which changes the entire market from the Standard Dimension society, since Fusion was just a exclusive thing and not an entire mechanic, and Ritual was too occlude in their own academias (such how it was in Duel Monsters). That's why You Show School is always without new students, they are behindhand from the market, focusing only in Yusho Sakaki's duels and entertainment. By monopolizing the Fusion summon in an entire mechanic and releasing XYZ and Synchro in the Standard Dimension, Reiji revolutionized everything in Arc-V, which is why he brings Pendulum, XYZ and Fusion to the Synchro Dimension, as well. Pendulum, at first, was only to monopolized the market again and help him in his plans, but since the Standard Dimension became the Pendulum Dimension (being now a "half extra deck Dimension"), his goals was complete at the end of the series

Irrespective of Ritual being it's own dimension or not, I feel like a Ritual card or deck could have been the thing to defeat Z-Arc as opposed to the deus ex-machina we got. It seemed like almost intentional that his protection effect didn't include ritual... It could have made an actual memorable standoff at the end of the gauntlet of duels.

Why would they use Ritual when they weren’t advertising it?

the most common thing I've seen for a ritual dimension is that without a piece of z-arc it branched off into the manga timeline and eventually evolving into the link dimension with vrains, since vrains is seen as a continuation of the manga as there is no manga counterpart like the other series and link vrains is an extension of duel links, which kaiba made in the manga.

also my theory for a ritual dimension and why is was never shown is that is is the dimesnion made form the leftover energy from the ritual used to split ray and zarc, making it so zarc's influence wasn't in the world and making it a non-target for duel academy. the reson it would be free of zarc is that we never see him use a ritual dragon, with the best level 7 dragon ritual monster being Sauravis, the Ancient and Ascended (disregarding odd-eyes monsters) and eventually turning into the link dimension and gaining the dragon of firewall dragon, still free from the influence as it is not "Firewall Link Dragon" as the others are names associating to their method

Another reason why there is no Ritual Dimension because Zarc didn't have a Ritual Dragon he integrated with in the Original Dimension, so there was no reason to make a Ritual Dimension to put a hypothetical Ritual Dimension Dragon & Ritual Dimension fragment of Rae & Zarc.

My main hope for a ritual dimension was because v is roman numeral for 5 and it would have been a nice little nod, it would have been the 5th series and also be about 5 dimensions. Then again maybe a 5th dimension would have spread the story too much. A nice little compromise could be to let ritual summoning be a hair more prevalent in the standard dimension, like maybe make zuzu's deck a ritual deck. This would open up some interesting dialogue when she is trying to learn fusion summoning because the mechanics do have similarities.

Great Video explaining why we didn't get a ritual dimension, my logic was they ran out of previous characters from the older series to properly represent said dimension; Like i can't think of one other character (besides Alexis) who uses deck built around ritual summons.

What could also be the case for why there's no ritual Dimension is because ritual summoning never evolve past its base concept. Look at how the other mechanics evolved beyond their base concept where you can Accel Synchro, Xyz summon with one monster, Fusion summon from the grave, ritual has basically stayed the same as it always been.

Well they could've done something similar to the Pendulum monsters. Where there are monster cards that can be used as the Ritual cards needed to Ritual Summon. Heck they could've done a Supreme King Arc where they need to find and seal the one monster that can Ritual summon anything.

I read a comment in the past that said that the reason there were standard, fusion, synchro and Xyz dimension was because those were the summoning methods of Zark dragons (standard being for the tribute/advance summon of Odd eyes). And honestly I like that headcannon, the dimensions splitted because of zark's and Ray fight, it could also be because ray used those "En" cards (and the bracelets) to counter Zark and defeat him, so it could also be because of her, or both.

This is actually the lore of the anime. There is 4 Dimensions to split the Dragons, Ray was trying to force them to not reunited. Since the problem became with Dark Rebellion and evolve to Clear Wing and then Starving Venom, it was wiser to create a Dimension without any mechanic base, for Zarc never evolves again. That is why also Yuzu is the main particle to split the Yu boys, since Yuya is the most purify form of Zarc, the other dragons should not be around him. Each "En" card is a bracelet and each bracelet has its own power (Yuzu's bracelet is the main stronger one)

Also, Yuya uses his Pendulum to create new cards, that's was pretty obviously after watching Yu-Gi-Oh since GX. The main characters of the show will feel an intense power to manipulate an evolution and that's exactly what Yuya does in the anime.

Really waited for your video brother🎉

Rituals are legitimately my favorite summoning method but its been so consistently power creeped over the years. Its a real shame.

This is what fanfiction is for, I guess. Ritual Dimensions. Because while everything you say is spot-on, I think it would also do Standard good to clearly separate it from the other Dimensions by making a Ritual Dimension to take the DM legacies. Since there's that whole issue of balancing the focus on legacy characters with the original characters of the show. P.S. I still say that we should have seen Gemini monsters in Standard. They're the embodiment of Normal Summoning. And Pendulum Summoning unironically does Gemini a lot good.

Another reason could be because the dimensions were created to keep z-arcs pieces apart and there are only 4 pieces of z-arc. Which was created by a tribute monster, fusion, xyz, and syncro monsters

Here is a yugioh question why doesn’t the odd-eyes archetype have their unique link monster when other arc v archetypes got their own unique link monster?

Yugioh Arc-V is and always will be my favorite yugioh Series of all time. I wish Ritual monsters had their own Dimension in yugioh Arc-V. I think the vast majority of us just wish Ritual monsters had their own Dimension regardless.

I think mainly it because as Zarc never orginally ritual summoning and sinces the dimensions are split up from him then they only be the mechanic that he uses so ritual would not be a dimension

I think it was going to be added later but was cut because they ran out of time/ they hate duel monsters. The show is called arc v and both zarc and ray revival was incomplete, because they were missing a boy/girl

When they make fusion, Synchro and Xyz monsters that are better than Dragon master knight but all require a ritual monster as material, then there can be a ritual dimension as it becomes a mandatory mechanic for an extra deck summon.

Darn I wanted a ritual dimension

Ok, the v part is about the extra deck monsters inculding zarc the standard dimension already had ritual and other wheres to summon.

I like to think that it was because they didn't want to make a ton of new ritual cards and actually have them be good

You know what would be great if ritual spells were made that a duelist would just have to banish monsters from there field or hand to summon a ritual monster from there deck or hand.

I just assumed that vrains was the ritual dimension

I always thought it just because Konami just doesn't seem to care about it enough... and/or kept forgetting that's it's a thing. Though the in-universe explanation is simple... the dimensions were split to hold Zarc's dragons and keep the separate... Zarc never had a Ritual Dragon, so there was no need to make a Ritual Dimension to hold it. Why did Zarc not have a Ritual Dragon? Because Konami keeps forgetting Rituals is a thing.

Why are you calling it “zeal”? You’re meant to pronounce the “x” in “zexal”, it’s not silent In the English version and it’s been localised internationally to be pronounced with the “x”.

I call it Zeal and not Zecksul because that is the way it is meant to be pronounced. The X graphic is not meant to be a part of the title. I get the X is part of the localized version because I watched the subbed version and prefer the original name of the series and name of the characters as well the same way I don't call Judai, Jaden and it is not wrong to use the original name especially if it is still correct and the version I am used to and or prefer.

Standard has Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz because *Declan brought them to Standard after learning about the other dimensions!* They're not an inherent part of Standard, and I believe it's even mentioned at one point that Standard *isn't* supposed to have Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz. Hell, Celina even mistook some Standard dimension people for Xyzians simply because they Xyz Summoned. And we also see a Fusionite using Xyz Summoning, so it's clear that being from a specific dimension doesn't prevent you from using the summoning methods of the other dimensions, meaning the fact that Alexis is able to Ritual Summon is not a valid argument for your case. Also, as far as I'm aware, the school that Declan founded is also the only place that taught Ritual in the Standard dimension. So no, I *don't* think Ritual is inherent to the Standard dimension, either.

I don't believe it was stated that Standard only has Fusion, Synchro and XYZ summon because of Reiji. He went to other dimensions as a child and found out about his father's ambitions but he never created implemented those mechanics into the Standard. His father who was from the unified dimension and the founder of Leo institute likely did, but I am willing to be corrected on that. Regardless this doesn't change the fact that it was a dimension that relied solely on the main deck as I stated, until intervention which I also pointed out is how people of other dimensions can utilize extra deck mechanics that are not their dimensions name sake. So no matter who incorporated the extra deck to standard my point still stands in that regard since who brought Fusion, Synchro and XYZ to standard is not the case I am making here. I never once said that being from one dimension means you can only use the summoning method of your dimension either. I even referenced Denis being from the fusion dimension but being able to use XYZ summon after spying in the XYZ dimension and stated that Alexis naturally could possibly use Ritual because it is not an "Extra Deck" Mechanic and everything that is in the main deck is fair game for game for all dimensions. Nor have I ever started Ritual was exclusive to only Standard with my Alexis reference and I clearly stated that each extra deck dimension only knows of an extra deck mechanic of their dimensions name sake unless introduced by another dimension. Like How Synchro dimension did not know of XYZ or Fusion until they saw it from the Lancers I appreciate the comment but I worked hard on the vid please listen to the words I say on there 😂

Okay, the thing with Alexis using Ritual I'll admit I likely misunderstood, but what I was trying to get at was that just because someone uses a summoning method doesn't mean that method is native to that dimension. I do acknowledge that you brought up Denis being able to Xyz summon, but that actually strengthens my argument. From what I remember, Ritual Summoning wasn't that common even in Standard. Hell, I think it's even *less* common in Standard than Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz individually. So I still don't think it's likely to be native to Standard.

I was trying to argue that your arguments aren't proof that the Ritual Dimension couldn't exist because just like how Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz were introduced to Standard from the other dimensions, it was also possible for Ritual to be introduced the same way. I'm not saying it absolutely was introduced that way, but from what I remember, that's very possible, and I don't think there's any official confirmation one way or the other. Note: I am *not* trying to say that the Ritual dimension absolutely exists. While I personally think it likely does, there's no official confirmation of it existing, and I'm not gonna try to argue that. And there's one argument that could be made for it not being able to exist, and that's the argument of the dimensions being based on Zarc's dragons specifically: Odd-Eyes Dragon representing Standard (meaning it would be based on Normal/Tribute Summoning), Starving Venom Fusion Dragon representing Fusion, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon representing Synchro, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon representing Xyz, and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon representing the reborn Pendulum dimension.

@BurstFlare I checked 2 Wiki entry's on Standard. The Yu-Gi-Oh Wiki and the Arc V wiki both say exactly this "According to Yūto, the other dimensions revolve around this one." That is all it says in relation to Yuto and standard nothing about him saying that initially Standard never had the other mechanics and Standard being the primary dimension is something we already knew I addressed in the vid that standard is considered the original dimension, which is still a weird concept. And the truth is that unless we get another addition to Arc V there is no ritual dimension. Ritual is not an extra deck mechanic nor was used by or created by Zarc so it doesn't fill any known criteria. If you want to think it is a possibility then that is fine but my point stands that there is no ritual dimension until there is proof there is actually one, otherwise it is wishful thinking or fan fiction to think it is possible. Which I am on board with but I only claimed facts based on the series and what ifs don't disregard my points. I think a ritual dimension would have been pretty awesome but with the series over it is just a desire I can only dream of.
