In Yu-Gi-Oh rule-breaking is as common as a Monster Reborn card in a deck. Nearly every villain on the testify does it and nosotros're not surprised by them. Even so, one would expect meliorate from the noble hero of the show; Yugi Muto.

As many know, Yugi has only one legitimate loss on his tape which was to Raphael in season 4. Even so, there was several times throughout the series where he logically should have lost the duel merely because of the vagueness of the rules and sometimes simply outright cheating, our protagonist won the lucifer. Let's expect at 8 times Yugi should have lost merely won instead.

eight Panik

YuGiOh Panik

The most intimidating of Pegasus' Eliminators, Panik faced our hero during Duelist Kingdom and was dealt a trip to the Shadow Realm for his efforts. Only all indications, Panik seemed to have a adept strategy of taking down Yugi with shadow creatures who can attack from the darkness and retreat back.

Simply leave it to Yugi to find a manner around this. Since Panik used the carte "Yellow Luster Shield" to heave his monsters' defense points and bundle them in 1 area of the field, Yugi used his Catapult Turtle to launch a monster and destroy Panik's Castle Of Dark Illusions' floatation ring. The castle would autumn, crushing all of Panik's monsters to win the match for Yugi. Simply some other non-sensical day in Duelist Kingdom.

7 Kaiba (Pyramid Of Light)

Before Dark Side Of Dimensions,the only Yu-Gi-Oh picture western audiences would become isPyramid Of Light. Like the latter film, this moving-picture show was highlighted past a rematch betwixt Seto Kaiba and Yugi. All the same different in Dark Side Of Dimensions, this match had a decisive winner. Too bad it was the wrong duelist.

When Kaiba summons his newest monster Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, he mentions how his beast gains 300 attack points for every dragon in his graveyard. By our math, this ways the monster'south attack would be 4800 and not 4500 equally he had three Blue-Optics White Dragons, Paladin Of White Dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Rare Metal Dragon in his GY. That meant his assail on Yugi's Sorcerer Of Nighttime Magic would accept won the lucifer for him. Perchance Kaiba fudged the rules since he wanted his "perfect victory" by using Yugi's God Cards against him?

6 Seeker

However one of the most powerful duelists always seen on the show, Seeker of the Rare Hunters possessed three copies of every slice of Exodia and had monsters loaded with loftier defense to stop enemies from getting to his life points. He shell Joey Wheeler and had Yugi dead to rights but Yugi merely upwards and broke the rules to save his hibernate.

Just every bit Seeker was about to describe the final Exodia card he needed to win the game, Yugi activated the trap carte du jour Lightforce Sword... from his hand. Equally even novices know, trap cards must first exist attack the field and tin only be activated on your opponent'due south next turn later they draw a bill of fare. Well we'll call this even we suppose since Seeker himself was adulterous anyway.

5 Mako Seismic sea wave

Ah yes here information technology is. The infamous moment that was so iconic in the fandom that Konami made a menu lampooning the outcome. For those who saw the carte without knowing its context, allow u.s. explain.

During a duel versus Mako Seismic sea wave, Yugi establish himself at a loss confronting the Water deck of Mako who had reduced Yugi down to a single landmass field zone. Yugi so played his Giant Soldier Of Stone who then proceeded to attack a spell card of his own, Mystical Moon. Now not only can you non set on spell cards with monsters, but the destruction of the moon caused the ocean tide to recede and dried up all of Mako's monsters leaving them easy prey for an attack from Expletive Of Dragon.

4 Dartz

If we were to inquire any normal people whether or not you tin can become any higher than infinity in mathematics. Even so since the Pharaoh didn't seem to major in that bailiwick, he just decided to upward and break it during his duel confronting Dartz in flavor 4.

Faced off against Dartz's Divine Serpent'south space assail points, Yugi utilized a convoluted combination of the Legendary Knights, Mirror Force and Attack Guidance Bulwark to reverberate and multiply an attack to space assault points. Just as that was going on, he as well fused together Knight Of Destiny who is and nosotros quote from Yami Yugi here, "a power beyond infinity". What tin can you even say to that?

three Pegasus (Kuriboh Attacks)

Probable the kookiest duelist he ever faced, Yugi fought Pegasus in the Duelist Kingdom finals to rescue the souls of the Kaiba brothers and his own grandfather With and so much on the line, you know he was going to pull something out of his butt to win the game if needed.

And that demand came near the end of the match when Pegasus summoned his Thousand-Eyes Restrict which seemed prepare to paralyze and absorb all of Yugi's monsters including his multiplied Kuribohs. However, the Kuribohs suddenly have the power to self destruct on contact with the enemy which blinds and renders useless Pegasus' ace monster. We suppose that since Pegasus doesn't protestation this despite being the creator of Duel Monsters that nosotros can't get likewise wound up about it.

2 Ghost Kaiba

Even though fans would accept to wait a few more episodes in season 1 to become a proper rematch between Yugi and Kaiba, we got a little tease of information technology in this match as an imposter used Kaiba's stolen deck versus Yugi. However, Yugi would only win the match because of some outside interference.

Experiencing a change of heart later on his mind shell, Kaiba was adamant to assist Yugi in his duel yet he could. First off, he tried uploading a computer virus into a Blue-Eyes White Dragon's information which caused its attack points to drop. Withal that wasn't working fast enough and through sheer willpower (we guess) Kaiba destroyed the monster outright from miles away. If the attack had gone off, nosotros'd have seen Yugi eliminated from Duelist Kingdom.

We guess this guy didn't stand a GHOST of a adventure against the King Of Games.

1 Arkana

Aftermath of Arkana vs. Yugi in Battle City Yugioh

In Boxing City, Yugi faced off against the simply other wielder of the Dark Magician in the franchise to make up one's mind who was the true master of the card. Seeing as how Arkana built his whole deck effectually the card and would have won the match if not for some rule-breaking, we'd have to telephone call the Rare Hunter the truthful magical master.

However that's non how it went down. When Arkana used his Dark Magic Drapery to summon Night Magician from his deck, Yugi stated that the card also allowed him to summon a Dark Wizard of his own... which it doesn't then strike one. Merely besides, Yugi played Dark Sorcerer Girl which is non the same thing. So in decision, that teenage boy should accept had legs cutting off err we hateful be sent to the Shadow Realm via "nighttime energy disk".
