Who do you feel is Yu-Gi-Oh's most overpowered Protagonist?

[TokoWH]

As in, not just in raw Dueling skill, but by power of their deck and any additional powers they may have?

I kind of have to go with Judai/Jaden personally.

It's established in universe that he has abnormally high luck with drawing the cards he needs, which negates the his deck being a complete mess mishmash of archetypes that don't work together. Plus he is also established as having really good game sense post season 3, ontop of the whole vague 'gentle darkness/being fused with Yubel' powers he has.

Yuma has shining draw, but he's regarded as mostly being an average duelist even after the final duel of his series.

Massive plot armor makes Jaden nearly unstoppeble yea. Only lost like 2 games if I think currect from season 1-3.

[Pastor Shotty McBangJump]

Yusei has the power of throwing hands.

[Angel]

I gotta say the pharaoh, he can draw whatever he wants whenever he wants, has magical powers, and can will cards in existence like every other protagonist

Judai da best

[Astrallight]

Somehow I hope Yubel one day will get a proper deck with her in it insteed of weak Fire Kings with another weak nephthys deck where phoenix is only decent card out of all.

[Merilirem]

Its between Jaden and Atem. Both possess certain powers that the others just don't. I would put my money on Atem though since he's the one who holds the most mystical power.

The thing about the decks they all use or could use is that luck matters a lot. Too much to discount Atem's ability to just draw the out.

Just use Neos Krieger

Jaden is the best duelist but then again he's god so that's not really surprising

Atem at least needs to run the out in his deck. Yuma and Playmaker both have the explicit ability to make up a custom card mid-duel, which is a whole other level of nonsense.

I mean if we're talking plot armor then Yusei and Yusaku are probably ahead of even that.

Hell I'm pretty sure Yusaku didn't lose a single duel over the entire course of VRAINS, even Yusei had some "in the past" losses and outside context draws, Yusaku doesn't have plot armor, he has plot hax.

Pretty sure only Yuma and Yusaku explicitly will cards into existence, at least in the on-demand way necessary for this argument.

there's no argument going on here?

[Neptuna]

Yusei knocked out a few security guards with only a light punch and kick combo. Definitely overpowered and needs a nerf as soon as possible.

[Thain]

Every single one of them. Seriously with the card deck of theirs, they never brick and always draw the out. Especially towards boss fight or something. That is the main reason why I stopped watching after the first few ep. Shuffling deck is a joke to them.

Also, there was one random ep that I sample if things have change, this guy literary draw a card (not search) and change the card surface to something else. Stupid. If I were the judge, I will step in and throw him out. Cheater.

No one mentioned Yuya? Reality was split into multiple dimensions just to keep him in check.
