Was Yubel About To Defeat Jaden? [Return Of The Supreme King]

Jesse-Yubel: "I will hold onto Last Trick until Jaden gets Super Polymerization" Jaden on the first turn: " I normal summon Elemental Hero Avian and activate Super Polymerization!" Jesse-Yubel: "SHIT"

The entire first part of the real Yubel vs Jaden duel is an homage to historic Japanese wedding procedures. The rose, the tapestry, and the lotus... Considering how much Yubel "loves" him, it's excellent writing!

7:53 In the anime, Winged Kuriboh does in fact stop piercing damage. This happened in the 1st episode of Yu-Gi-Oh GX when Dr. Crowler attacked Winged Kuriboh with his Ancient Gear Golem.

I also have a theory that the reason Yubel kept bricking is that she purposefully played in a way so that the only Monster to deal Jaden damage would be herself. Because no other monster could show him "love" like she could

Love how the only thing super poly is bad at in the anime is actually being spell speed 4, since everone just pulls the schoolyard, "little did you know, i actually used my effect 1st"

Apparently, in the japanese text of Neospace Wave, it does not say anything about summoning monsters with specific ATK points, but instead, it reads that you summon a number of neospacian monsters equal to the number of monsters sent to the graveyard.

I love Yubel's duels. They went beond "winning or losing". It was always all about the duel itself and in all but two cases, its objectives were reached through them.

“I use my soul to summon NEOS wiseman and attack for game” would probably be one heck of a power play.

Jaden won basically at the start of the second duel. Had he used De-fusion right at the start, he would have killed the two 100 atk tokens, which means no tributes for regenating rose, which means it won't be killed to make the two rose tokens to summon Yubel. De-fusion literally would have been a domino effect!

I always considered this duel more about the Storyline than the actual duel itself. That whole 3rd season was a Master's Class in character backstory...

I like to think Yubel's "bricks" were the monsters she used for Super Poly. Not like she had any way to get out Gate Guardian

7:55 This probably wouldn't have worked since in the first episode of gx when ancient gear golem attacks kuriboh, jaden didn't take any damage. I agree with the first one though.

For the second duel Jaden's trap only lets him decide the fusion material but that doesn't mean he keeps the monster. Yubel activated the fusion card so the fusion monster would be on Yubel's side of the field making Yubel the winner after attacking Jaden for game.

Yubel responding to a counter trap with a continuous trap like an absolute mad lass.

Jaden could’ve attacked Yubel’s tokens with Avian and Burstinatrix and since Yubel evidently wasn’t playing any other monsters, she would have lost earlier so technically misplay Jaden. A way for Jaden to win the first duel without Super Polymerization: Instead of summoning Chrysalis Dolphin, he should’ve summoned Chrysalis Pinny to summon Glow Moss. He could’ve then Contact summoned Glow Neos which could also destroy Advanced Dark through its effect which would’ve allowed Glow Neos to attack directly, winning Jaden the duel. I know Jaden was trying to save Jesse first, but he could’ve used this combo to threaten Yubel.

For the second duel, Jaden doesn't cheat. He summoned Twinkle Moss how he was supposed to, using Glow Moss and NEX. Neo Space Wave, from what I can tell, lets you summon Neo-Spacians who's attack do not exceed half of the attack of the monsters you sent to the graveyard from the effect. Glow Moss was still a legal choice as it was the only non-Extra Deck Neo-Spacian besides Flare Scarab that could have been picked, and it was the better choice as Flare Scarab's effect would be more detrimental against Yubel's. With Twinkle Moss Jaden has a chance to block the damage by switching it to defense mode(trap card), just ending the battle phase(monster card), or make Yubel's attack be a direct attack instead(spell card) based on what car Jaden draws from Twinkle Moss's effect. Thus Jaden didn't cheat and actually made the smartest play possible with Neo Space Wave.

The ending duel between Yubel and Judai gets me every time 😢

I always wondered what possible outcomes the second duel would’ve gone to if Jaden changed the order of what cards to add to Yubel’s hand through Spell Chronicle. Say for example, Jaden choose Mystical Space Typhoon over Zero Sprite the first time? Jaden had no set cards and only Spark Blaster so even if she used MST on it, nothing of value would’ve been lost. Plus, not being able to attack twice through Zero Sprites effect would have saved Jaden some LP.

This was a pretty good duel, though it is annoying how this was basically the final duel for anyone who didn't knew a season four existed, so fans who didn't looked this up will just assumed Jaden died at the end of the duel
