time to find out who truly is the king
of games I'm Ashley with WatchMojo and
these are the top 10 most powerful
duelists in yukio for this list we're
looking at some of the most powerful
duel monsters players throughout the
anime series based on their wind counts
strategy and how much they've grown as a
competitor if you have never seen these
duelists at their peak there will be
spoilers but before we get to there I'm
on Twitter at hash table so head over
there give me a follow and let me know
who your favorite yu-gi-oh duelist is
I'll be waitin number 10 Joey wheeler
ukyo duel monsters when joey star his
main strategy was simply warrior
monsters and few trap and magic cards
with a little extra firepower from
red-eyes black dragon
[Music]
however as the series progressed his
deck became a lot more well rounded with
enhancements to give his monsters a
little power boost and a heavier
emphasis on luck and games of chance
destroy your history
[Music]
unfortunately this og underdog has taken
more than his fair share of beatings but
he's too brave and stubborn to back away
from a challenge especially if it's in
honor of his loved ones plus we all know
for a fact that Joey could have beaten
Marik if the plot didn't demand
otherwise now last was just cruel and
unfair
number nine Declan acaba Yukio Ark five
Declan is probably the youngest duelist
ever to be allowed to duel in the
professional circuits hard to say we're
surprised since not only is he a spender
limp summoning the moment he discovered
it but has also mastered all three extra
dick types at the same time fusion
synchro and xcs usually Big Easy Jameson
walnuts for is deck
Declan utilizes the DD and DDD ankh
types and is most powerful beasts are
the super dim King Armageddon monsters
all of which he really resembled
previous yu-gi-oh villains while both
types have their drawbacks declan's
strategies help him avoid the negative
effects of working with these fiendish
cards while harnessing their might did
devastate his opponents number eight
Jack Atlas yu-gi-oh 5ds and you yo are
five whether from the 5ds Canon or the
art 5 synchro dimension Jack has always
been the self-proclaimed master of
faster
dude at war monster dr. thoracotomy an
arrogant claim but he does have a
powerhouse deck to prove his mites heavy
emphasis on power his main strategy
involves enabling himself to synchro
summon his devastating ace monsters red
dragon archfiend in five DS and Skaar
light red dragon archfiend in arc five
as well as their respective upgraded
forms both dragons are devastating on
their own but just to be safe jack also
likes to protect his beloved beasts with
traps to strengthen their power and
overwhelm his opponents it definitely
pays off for Jack after all how many
rivals can boast on defeating two main
protagonists at least once
[Music]
number 7 kite 10 Joe yu-gi-oh zexal or
zeal and yu-gi-oh Ark 5 whether as a
number hunting antihero or a member of
the resistance kite is a duelist that
commands respect and has the tools to
earn it
zexal kite utilizes a photon eggsy's
deck storming the field with light
monsters to summon his signature
galaxy-eyes photon dragon
and it's even deadlier upgraded forms
Machu mech with ultimate his exceeds
dimension counterparts in arc five has
two aces of his sleeve his photographic
memory and the cypher cards to give his
monsters a needed boost to call forth
the galaxy-eyes cipher dragon paint
blinding juggernauts that can hijack his
opponent's monsters to top it all off
kite achieves what other rival
characters dare to dream of never even
once losing to his main series
protagonist okay losing number six Yuya
Sakaki yu-gi-oh arc five after being
stripped of his power Z arc was split
into four reincarnations each
representing a fragment of his
personality and one of the four
dimension dragons Yuya our main
protagonist inherited a Z arcs need to
entertain and discovered the power of
pendulum summoning equipped with his
trusty odd-eyes pendulum dragon this
duel Taner
boasts one of the highest win ratios in
the franchise
[Music]
while accolades like the friendship cups
cement him as an awesome duelist perhaps
his greatest accomplishments of beating
legends such as aster Phoenix Pro Hogan
and Jack Ellis
number five Jaden Yuki yu-gi-oh GX out
of all the main protagonists Jaden
easily has the most duels under his belt
and let's be honest the most normal
haircuts naturally with such a high dual
count comes an equally high wind counts
and only a small handful of losses from
the start his deck was centered on the
elemental heroes superhero like warriors
with a vast selection of fusion
combinations
later on he adapted his deck to include
the neo-spacians alien creatures of his
own design that could contact views
without the use of polymerization with a
near limitless amount of fusion
combinations Jaden
definitely has one of the most visited
decks in the anime and has well earned
his spot at the head of the class number
4 yuusaku Fujiki ukyo brains
unfortunately yuusaku the most recent
protagonist hasn't dueled as much as
others in the series however his school
board more than makes up for that since
aside from a few traumatic flashbacks he
has never lost a single match in the
series
his key to success lies within his
cybers deck swarming the field with
weaker beasts and smaller linked
monsters in order to link summon his
more powerful combatants including the
firewall dragon or his army of code
talkers later on at yuusaku starts
implementing more non linked summoning
methods to bring even stronger beasts
onto the field and if push comes to
shove he can unleash his deadliest beast
of all the firewall dragon dark fluid
[Music]
number three Seto Kaiba
Yukio duel monsters as the og rival
Kaiba's ultimate end goal is to be the
number one duelist of all time is lust
for power is ultimately reflected in its
deck which is filled to the brim with
brutish ferocious beasts including the
legendary blue-eyes White Dragon
[Music]
Kaiba's use of dragons may seem
excessive but he definitely knows how to
use them to obliterate his opponent and
if needed he can always sabotage his
enemies deck with some handy trap cards
and as if that weren't enough watch as
my crush card destroys both monsters on
the field as well as every powerful
monster and your entire deck
[Music]
unfortunately despite his missile as
deck and immense power Kaiba ends up
just barely losing to Yuki in nearly
every duel they have together in fact
the only time he's ever actually beaten
Yugi was by and fairly forcing him to
surrender
not cool Kaiba boy couldn't do it huh
White Lightning attack
number two yusei fudo Yukio 5ds as one
of the more brooding mature protagonists
you say is definitely a force to be
reckoned with the only time we've ever
seen him lose was in a flashback against
Jack Atlas there have also been a
handful of duels he never finished but
there's no guarantee he would have lost
those matches other than that Yusei has
a nearly spotless record of wins the
majority of those wins are thanks to him
playing it smart and being able to adapt
to any card he's given
it also doesn't hurt to have been loaded
with low-level monsters so we can easily
access is more heavy-hitting synchro
summons including his most formidable
ace the Stardust Dragon

yami-yugi ukyo duel monsters it's only
fair to have both yugi and yummy in one
entry since they both shared a body and
the title of the og king of games call
it plot armor or the heart of the cards
but they almost always miraculously draw
the card they need to turn the duel in
their favor a lot of that is thanks to
the well-rounded and adaptable cards in
that deck including their iconic dark
magician magician attack
[Music]
your judge man falls throughout the
original series these two have only lost
a handful of times mostly on their own
terms
while Yami does most of the battling
it's Yugi who ultimately proved himself
by the end of the series by beating his
other half in their final duel
