F**k. I'm down.
jobber to the stars. He lost to make the actual stars and main villains look good
Maybe in the first season lol, in the Battle City arc dude outplays Marik and beats Yugi in the end.
Don't remember if he gets reduced to a jobber after that though, don't remember much after the Battle City arc.

I remember Yu-Gi-Oh was where I started getting tired of what I called at the time "Goku and Vegeta Syndrome" where only the main character and sometimes his rival are allowed a major victory. Did later seasons ease up on that any?
I think its an anime original arc(Kaiba has a big dumb tournament) but he fucking loses in one turn to the main villain lol.
Edit Nope actually got that mixed up its not in one turn. He still loses tho...the chump.
GX actually becoming "good" by the end is always the the crazy part to me
Also
Jaden should have won the final matchup since his deck was more flexible then yugi's but lolmaincharacter
Why does anyone like RWBY? Honest question. Any time I google it I just see.. like.. it's so goddamn ugly. Looks like it's a damn school project. Or one of these shitty videos in which they have badly animated 3d anime characters dance on Youtube.
Is there anything legitemately good about it or..?

I hear it gets very good later on, but I don't think I can stomach the bad voice acting and animation in Volume 1 to get to that point.

agree 100% but I thought GX was good throughout but I could see why people hate the earlier episodes.

Show does a legit good job at raising the stakes in the third volume and delivers on all of its foreshadowing well enough to make me actually give a shit about what was going on.
That aside, it's a fun little web series with some good fight choreography that only improves with each volume of the show.

I like the characters and action and I honestly find the plot starting around volume 3 to be pretty interesting.
If you don't mind me asking how do you think it looks now based on the Volume 5 shorts?

They did a marathon with Crunchyroll that showed the entirety of various anime just a few months back. It went over well so it's not surprising that they are doing another with anime.

Nope just the original. Including all the fillers.
RWBY has the best music.

The PR marathon with Twitch chat was an incredible experience. I am so in for this one and the Abridged memes.
I can't remember much of GX and can't comment substantially on anything from Zexal on, but 5Ds falls into that same syndrome. It's far more acute once 5Ds' second season properly rolls in, when it quickly devolves into a show about how the main protagonist is pretty much Jesus with only his rival and buddy (Konami: PLEASE BUY BLACKWING CARDS!) occasionally afforded some decent limelight. Practically everyone else after the first season is unceremoniously sidelined, with the main female duelist being one of the notable casualties. It got to the point where one ending song sequence literally calls her the benchwarmer.
Though I have heard that Arc-V, the most recently concluded show, does allow for a few more characters besides the protagonist and his designated rival to score major victories. It just turns out that a couple of these characters with major victories happen to be legacy characters from older shows...
Also, does Kaiba even win that many matches? The guy's a bit of a jobber, to be honest. I distinctly recall him losing to Exodia in the first episode, is on the precipice of losing to Yugi in the Duelist Kingdom were it not for his suicide threat, his losing to Pegasus and turning into a trading card, being turned into stone during the Virtual World saga, losing to Yugi in the Battle City finals and...well, whatever it is that happens during the season with the dragons. He wins against some random mooks with Obelisk at the very start of Battle City, wins a couple of rounds while tag teamed with Yugi and does admittedly take down his father in the Virtual World, probably wins against one of Dartz's minions during the dragons season, but that's kind of it.
EDIT: and almost losing to Ishizu were it not for some magical hocus pocus

RWBY is worth a watch. Yugioh... really isn't.
Yes and no, first season was before the game was widespread but it was definitely a thing.
By season 2 they retconned the rules under the excuse that Kaiba wanted to make the game better, but they still had monster reborn activated during the opponent's turn

Season 4 of GX is honestly pretty amazing...some interesting stuff happens like that shit with Yusuke, Saiou going back to being a villain basically just because, that episode where O'Brien is forced to choose between "killing" his mom or dad, everyone being erased from existence, and the final boss literally being the straight-up goat-headed devil.
I loved GX.
Yugi's deck is the worst Deck out of all YGO protagonists, by a large margin.
While Jaden's is still one of the most versatile decks ever, even after the Link Rules

Yeah ... those season 1 duels are rough to sit through.
I mean, the series always broke the rules of the game, but shit like fusing mammoth graveyard and an arrow to poison blue eyes and I'm like

Joey definitely jobbed from time to time (Duke, Zigfried), but I wouldn't say that was his role in the series.
Still mad about his duel with Marik. My dude had that shit won.

Cmon now, at least give Joey some credit. His dueling skills gets better as the show continued, even if he still lost a lot.
Awful.
They literally photoshop Ark Cradle out of the Sky to skip the last season for being "too dark"
Yusei keeps making motorcycle related puns
Also Yusei gets tickled with electricity while in prison...I mean "facility"

Most comments I read didn't mind 5ds dub in hindsight.
In fact I figured Yugioh wa some of the better 4kids dubs and perhaps anime dubs
It's less offensive than Gx skipping the Yugi vs Jaden ending , that's for sure
