Thanks to the comments we now know that; Joey could have attacked into Kaiser Sea Horse instead with Blue-Eyes [TURN 10]. This would force Kaiba during his turn to use monster reborn to bring back Kaiser Sea Horse, so that it could be sacrificed for Blue-Eyes. Kaiba then Crashes his Blue-Eyes into Joey's, then he attacks the defence position Hayabusa Knight with Blade Knight. Joey's turn and he draws Baby Dragon, he summons it into defence and Ends his turn. Finally back to Kaiba's turn he draws stop defence, he switches Baby Dragon to attack and then attacks with blade knight. Since Kaiba is dealing less than 2000 damage Joey cant use Nutrient Z and since joey only has 100 life points left then that means Kaiba Wins the duel even earlier.

There is one thing Joey could have done, if he had set Graverobber and his Nutrient Z earlier in the duel, waited till Kaiba activated Card of Demise, then, once his turn started, set Pot of greed before activating it; he could have activated Graverobber to steal Card of Demise and drawn 5 cards since Joey's hand would've been empty at that point in the duel. Then activated Jar of greed to draw 2, making Joey have 7 cards in his hand, we already know he would have had Monster Reborn, Hayabusa Knight, Baby dragon, and Time Wizard, so the other 3 cards could've helped him win or at least help him survive the next few turns.

The problem is hindsight bias. There's no way Joey could have known that Card of Demise was coming up, and therefore had no reason to NOT play pot of greed as normal to try and dig for one of his remaining answers to the inevitable Blue-Eyes. Joey doesn't play much direct removal in the first place and leans on combat-tricks like the Dice cards to get an edge, and after crush card none of his monsters had enough base attack to overpower one Blue-Eyes without both of them in play. Let alone the two others he knows Kaiba's got waiting in the wings. Kaiba was correct, Joey was wasting his time with a duel he couldn't win after running into the first-turn Crush card.

I'll be honest, Jounochi/Joey was my favorite character, but I never wanted him to win massively important main antagonist duels. If he did, it would ruin his character. Think of it. Joey is the underdog, he's the everyman. He's the guy like you and me that's doing what is right, and always trying his best. He's the guy who did better against Marik than Yugi did, and Yugi beat him. Joey, a random nobody, had Marik *screaming* in fear and anger about how impossible it was to be pushed so far by a nobody. In the Japanese version, Marik throws up after his duel with Jounochi because he was at one moment so absolutely terrified of this underdog of a guy who made him a literal joke in front of everyone watching. Joey has Moral victories. He duels because it's the right thing to do. To many extents, even more than the Pharoah, Joey can be called a real hero. He doesn't get disheartened from losing, he always gets back up and he keeps going. When the chips are down I'll always bet on Joey. Even if he loses, he fought his best, and he holds zero regrets.

One thing you missed was that Joey should have used Blue-Eyes to attack Kaiser Seahorse instead of Blade Knight. That way, if Kaiba wanted to summon his second Blue-Eyes, he would need to Monster Reborn something and then tribute it and Blade Knight. Regardless of if he crashed it into Joey's Blue-Eyes or not, he'd be wide open on Joey's next turn. If Blue-Eyes was still on the field, Joey could crash his into it, then attack directly with either Hayabusa Knight or Baby Dragon to win. Edit: I suddenly realized Kaiba could just Monster Reborn Kaiser Seahorse and then tribute it to summon Blue-Eyes, but then that means he couldn't bring it back after crashing it into Joey's.

I thought Joey misplayed because, at first, Thousand Dragon was an Effect Monster like Dark Sage, that could only be special summoned if you got the coin toss right while controlling both Time Wizard and Baby Dragon, but if that were the case, it would've been destroyed by Crush Card, so I think by this point Thousand Dragon was a Fusion Monster. They do this all the time in the DM anime, I remember Big Shield Gardna was a Normal Monster in Battle City, but then an Effect Monster in the Yugi vs Atem duel.

It's made more complicated because in the dub, cards are often painted to match what they are in the actual card game, rather than what they are in the anime. Example: Flame Swordsman is frequently painted as purple, in spite of the fact that Joey plays it as a normal monster in the anime

I think what's rather the case is that Interdimensional Matter Transporter in the anime allows you to return your monster at any time rather than just at the end of the turn.

@TGSAnime, one thing I noticed is that in 12:09, when Joey takes Kaibas blue eyes, if he had attacked Kaiser Sea Horse even if he didn't know what it did, it would've stopped Kaiba from summoning his 2nd blue eyes and maybe Joey would've been able to win as if Kaiba used monster reborn to bring back the Kaiser sea horse to tribute it, both of them would've been destroyed anyway this time with no monster reborn to be used and after Joey could've done his time wizard + baby dragon combo to win but its just speculation as theres no way Joey could've known what Kaiser sea horse could do or maybe Kaiba getting his twin headed thunder dragon using interdimensional matter transporter with it he'd probably still lose.

15:35 "The question now becomes: out of all of that, could Joey have won at any point?" Joey, immediately: "No."

This is one of my favorite duels. I like how Joey still has confidence through the whole duel and shows Kaiba that he has grown as a duelist since their first duel in Duelist Kingdom. He plays some sweet combos and has Kaiba sweating when he gets Blue Eyes. My kids love watching this duel. Thanks TGS Anime for doing this breakdowns of the duels! 🐐. Side note: I’m a Kaiba fan and when he roasted Joey saying he had no business being there, that was savage.

Kaiba could’ve used Monster Reborn to bring back Kaiser Seahorse, tribute it for Blue-Eyes and crash it into Joey’s Blue-Eyes, and then possibly have Blade Knight destroy Hayabusa Knight. Then Joey would’ve summoned Baby Dragon in defense, Kaiba would’ve played Stop Defense on Baby Dragon (or Hayabusa Knight if he didn’t destroy it earlier) and have Blade Knight attack for game. Since Nutrient Z only works when you’re about to take at least 2k points of damage, Joey couldn’t use it since Blade Knight would’ve done 700 points of damage when attacking Baby Dragon or 900 when attacking Hayabusa Knight and Joey still had 100 LP.

I think that Kaiba and Joey would've had a much more even duel if Kaiba did not use the cheap crush card virus to crush all of Joey's powerful monsters! I mean the battle was already set on Kaiba's favor after Kaiba crushed Joey's ability to use any strong monsters against him, yet Kaiba had access to all of his powerful monsters!....; And the mere fact that Joey was still able to give Kaiba a pretty descent challenge in my opinion, even after having all of his powerful monsters rendered useless, shows that Joey is great duelist! Kaiba got lucky drawing monster reborn. If he had not he would've probably lost the duel. Joey used Kaiba's own blue eyes white dragon to attack him!...I mean that was simply awesome and a great play from Joey, and again, if Kaiba hadn't drawn monster reborn to bring back his blue eyes, Joey may have won the duel, and again, Joey had nothing but weak monsters, so if Joey had not had his deck crushed, he would've given Kaiba even more of a run for his money!...Kaiba only had 700 life points left when it was all said and done...losing with your opponent has less than 1000 life points left is a feat when your opponent is the Prestigious, Seto Kaiba! Joey did basically defeat Marik also...Joey has some skills. In any case, it was a great duel and it was a smart move for Kaiba to crush Joey's deck like that...it gave Kaiba the advantage against Joey and the fact that Kaiba had to do that in order to gain an advantage over someone he considers a 3rd rate duelist...I think Kaiba was nervous a few times throughout this duel because I believe that deep down inside, Kaiba realizes that Joey is a great duelist and is more of a formidable opponent than a so called 3rd rate duelist!.......What I would like to see is a rematch between the two with the crush card virus banned from the duel...simply power against power to see if Kaiba is indeed the more powerful duelist!

The greatest crime in all of Yu-Gi-Oh is the fact Joey lost his last on screen duel to Zigfried.

I want "could Jaden have beaten Zane?" And many more. Love these videos

The anime had this habit of making Joey look weaker than he actually was when he's dueling Kaiba or when kaiba's even present, and while it's much less present in this duel him falling for Crush card always seemed like one of those moments. Aside from that I really love this duel and especially Joey taking control of Blue eyes, I always wondered why he did'nt just take control of Blue eyes and then use monster reborn for one of his own high level monsters but your explenation cleared that up.

Joey could have destroyed the seahorse instead of blade knight, so Kaiba wouldn't tribute it for his second blue eyes

Here's a fun little twist too. Thousand Dragon isn't a fusion in the anime, it can only be made when Baby Dragon survives Time Wizard, so really Joey either has a time wizard and a thousand dragon, or a thousand dragon to attack with. So maybe Joey could've won anyways.

Fun fact: Twin Headed Thunder dragon’s TCG artwork is a recolor of a vanilla monster “Two-Mouth Dark Ruler”, and they never fixed it, so the anime actually made a proper Twin Headed Thunder Dragon model, but they left the card as it looks in the TCG

The fact that Kaiba got stunted on by his own blue eyes makes Joey a winner in my book.

So, if you wanted to win and prove how much you've grown, you have to be ready for this much. If Joey is having difficulty with that, what if Kaiba had used Obelisk, Ultimate out CED? Sorry for the long rant, but I hope you see my point. Joey threw all of his growth as a duelist completely out of the window in this game.

Even without the quick attack spell card I wouldn't have been surprised if the "fusion monsters can't attack the turn they are summoned" rule had an * that read "unless it's kiba using blue eyes ultimate dragon" and even then the rule was probably to make sure yugi couldn't just pull a new fusion out of his ads in his next duel with kiba

I literally just watched this episode yesterday and i gotta say this was one of Joey's best duels!

As far as I'm concerned Joey is the _real_ best duelist in the world. Kaiba has an unsportsmanlike advantage with his vast wealth and while not owning Duel Monsters is able to use his influence to continue to make support for his special BEWD archetype that is exclusively his. Meanwhile Yugi has all sorts Millennium Item shenanigans which makes every duel he is involved with essentially cheating in some form. But Joey? An honest man with an honest deck with no ancient Egyptian fuckery.

reminder joey wins in the end. yugi muto's dream is to retire from playing duel monsters and create his own game but because of gx and 5d's we know this never happens and even in the far distant future duel monsters is still the most popular game so yugi fails and kaiba leaves the world of the living to go chase after the pharaoh, this makes joey automatically the best duelist in the world and that means he gets to enjoy a very successful career as a pro duelist. also he gets mai. we won joeybros WE WON

This isn't about this duel, but... One that always bothered me was the Strings duel. I'm looking at all the card advantage that Strings has with that setup, the massive hand size he's got going on there, and all I can think is. "Summon another monster. Play another spell to destroy Yugi's monsters. Attack directly with something else." It wouldn't make an especially interesting video for this series, because the answer is pretty decisively - yes, Strings could have easily beat Yugi way before he worked out how to deck Strings out. Still, the series always makes me think of it. I suppose a more interesting question might have been, could Yugi have won any other way, sooner in the duel? Though I don't think he really could have, even if he'd known Slifer's effect.

I think that is dependent on what we classify as "irl", as if we're talking about in a tournament setting, I don't think any of the main characters' decks would be viable, as for the most part they tend to lack consistency. Any deck can score a few wins here and there, so if we're just talking a friendly duel with your friend at the kitchen table, then sure they would probably do fine, but to get consistent wins in competitive dueling they'd need to be adjusted with, for example, more searchers to avoid bricks. Even dedicated Blue-Eyes decks have trouble with brick hands, and Kaiba's deck contains a lot more cards that doesn't synergize with Blue-Eyes at all, like the XYZ Dragon Cannon cards. This isn't an issue in the anime, as the characters tend to draw cards that synergize with each other, but this will land you in hot water more times than not if you're playing in real life.

Yugi's anime decks are just god awful. If you actually try to build them and test them against any deck that you could have built even as a casual player during the time when the Battle City arc was running, your own personal deck would probably destroy Yugi's main series deck almost every time. I remember I was trying to build a Dinosaur deck but there were almost no Dinosaur cards back then, so it was a Winged Beast and Dragon deck mostly, and Yugi's Battle City deck doesn't stand a chance. Its cards do not support each other, it has no main theme, and deck engines were almost nonexistent back then (short of a couple of monsters that could search others, but only a couple). Joey's deck at least has some Warrior synergy, Pegasus' has a bit of a control theme, and Kaiba's is the most playable. Marik's deck actually doesn't work well either, but Yugi's is by far the worst.

Love this series! I'd recommend either Jaden vs. Zane (round 2), Yugi vs. Kaiba (round 2), Noah vs Yugi, or Little Yugi vs Big Yugi (final duel)

I think breaking down the jaden and zane graduation duel would be a really cool and fun video to see

Great video. It’s definitely cool to talk about these hypothetical theories that could’ve changed the outcome. This would be cool if we did it for when Quattro faced off against Nasch so that Yuma could get away.

I would've loved to see Joey take on Kaiba with his deck at full strength. But once Crush Card Virus took out all of Joeys powerful monsters, the duel lost its luster.

The thing that comes to my mind on something he could have done differently would be to have Blue-eyes attack Kaiser Sea Horse instead of Blade Knight... While I don't think it would have changed the result. It would force Kaiba to use up his Monster reborn to summon Blue-eyes before the dragons clashed (reborn Kaiser and use it's effect), so neither of them are on the field afterwards.

Joey might have lost. But he did get one small victory. Kaiba wakes up every night in a cold sweat remembering the time Joey touched a Blue-Eyes, and almost won.

I wish that they had a few episodes where Yugi, Kiaba, and also Joey had to face 3 Duelists together as a Team at the same exact time in 3 to 4 episodes of the Yugioh Duel Monsters Orginal Anime TV Series!

I just realized LittleKuriboh missed a gold mine with the “Blue-Eyes-Enemy-Controler” part of the duel.

I think another misplay by Joey was activating Graceful Dice on his own turn, rather than in response to La-Jinn's or Blade Knight's attack. Since SOL loses it's attack bonus at the end of the turn and he had no other method to protect it then it was best used as a reactive move. Fun fact: in the manga version of the card Graceful Dice is not a one turn effect. The attack boost is permanent. Joey would have had a nice advantage if it still worked that way in the anime.

it never was one turn effect the writers simply screwed the rules. Joey against Espa Roba proves it.

Joey loses brain cells when fighting Kaiba.

Remember when he kept crashing his monsters against Rabid Horseman in season 1? Did he somehow grow blind to the atk/def stats or something? Or forget defense mode existed?

Of course Thousand Dragon isn’t really a fusion monster in the anime; more of an effect summon. It should be able to attack right away? Though it certainly wouldn’t break canon for Kaiba to carve out an inclusion that would specifically target Joey :P

I think everyone is missing the point of this duel. Kaiba calls Joey a third-rate duelist, but in the duel, he treats him like a threat by destroying his strongest monsters. Destroying Joey's strongest monsters in his deck is a move you use on a duelest who you know can crush you. After watching Joey's duel with marik, he made him realize that Joey isn't a weak duelist you think he is. Joey is still embarrassed, Kaiba by first taking his blue eyes and managing to get Kaiba down to 700 LP with only weak monsters 😂😂😂. That sounds like the skills of a high-ranking duelist to me.

You do make a great point, and something I wish they'd pointed out to him at the end. It's definitely very telling Kaiba immediately went with the Crush Card Virus play to decimate his deck right out of the gate. And yet, even with Crush Card Virus, Joey got him down pretty low on life points AND turned his own Blue Eyes against him. That is not a feat done by "a third rate duelist with a fourth rate deck"

@santosic I honestly believe Joey can defeat Kaiba, and even kaiba knows it. Do you want to know what else is funny? If Joey would have manage to hold on a little longer and have his panther warrior strike marik directly and defeat marik and take his winged dragon of ra card from him, kaiba would have changed the line up from facing off against yugi and face Joey instead to get his Egyptian God card then go after yugi. Now that's sounds like something kaiba would do 🤣 🤣 🤣

This duel is why i loved playing yugioh as a kid. Coming up with unorthodox strategies to gain the upper hand and turn the tide was simply satisfying and i have mimicked using Shrink and Crush Card Virus on my own monsters so many times just because of how brilliant the strategy/combo is.

My guess is that Kaiba implemented the "fusion monsters can't attack on the turn they're summoned" rule because he figured the one of the possible threats to his deck,with Obelisk the Tormentor in it, would be some of the fusion monsters. By removing their attack on summon he buys another turn to use Obelisk to finish them off.
