Thinking back, I only really have a few issues with Arc V. Yuya's character arc in the Synchro Dimension was basically "you have to earn respect instead of crying and shoving your ideals down people's throats." And it's a lesson he seemed to learn. But then we get to the XYZ Dimension, a place destroyed by an interdimensional card game war, and he immediately goes back to "NOOOOOOO! CARD GAMES ARE FOR MAKING PEOPLE SMILE!" In the ruins of a city destroyed by card games. Like, his entire character arc went out the window. And my other major issue is that Serena got done dirty.

Not where I live! Plenty of shops selling them these days
They certainly sell less cards and at fewer locations than they used to, but they definitely still have lots of sales locations. In fact, the Branded Structure Deck was their best-selling structure deck ever and that was released in 2022 and the 25th Anniversary Collectors Set which literally released this month had the best 1st week sales of any Yu-Gi-Oh product since Duelist Genesis in 2009
I think it's more that player behaviour has moved to buying bulk and a lot of shops dont let you do that

pretty much meant nothing to me beyond the starting bit with red-eyes,blue eyes and so on
given pretty much only care about the manga and anime cards with the animation including solely tcg only decks say for the first few seconds
literal click bait btw
shows dark magician on the thumbnail yet barely has any relevance in the video.

Old school Yugioh is overrated. You don’t see Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes, or almost any of the iconic monsters in the show compared to today where you can at least construct a Dark Magician deck and even get a few wins against the meta.
Goat format is fun for a while until you realize everyone plays essentially the same exact staple cards and win-con.
Best times to play Yugioh were between the 5Ds era to the first half of Part 5 and even some parts of Vrains. By those times, you had way more variety

I grew up playing Blue Eyes (badly...), and was always frustrated that I could never summon any boss monsters because I needed to tribute two monsters, which takes three turns, and usually my opponent would catch on to what I was trying to do, and destroy my tributes beforehand. I loved the 5D's anime, but didn't get too many cards from that era because I was a broke kid. It wasn't until the first XYZ starter deck that I realized how deep the game could be when I'm not focusing on bringing out beatsticks.
Ehh, power creep just made the game harder to play but the challenge is something I enjoy
The sign of a good game is when the best decks require skill to pilot and that's now pretty much the case with every top tier deck of the last year or so other than Kashtira - which is only a good thing!
Tearlaments, Fire-King Diabellestar and Unchained especially require skill and are also very fun mirror matches
Anyway, regarding the video, it's either a teaser for a lore-anime or just a one-off but either way, it goes through the iconic archetypes and cards of most of the eras of Yugioh - weirdly a lot of 5Ds wasn't in there though

Agree - it's nostalgia. All nostalgia. There wasn't even an interesting deck in the entire game (TCG or OCG) until Blue-Eyes Ritual Turbo and Clown control and those took 4-5 years to become a thing.
I still stand by the best format being TOSS which was end of P5/Start of P6. Thunder-dragon is a fun and skill-required deck. Orcust is fun and a skill required deck. Sky Striker is a fun and skill required deck. Salad is a fun and skill-required deck.
Even some of the rogue strategies in this format were interesting! SPYral and Tri-Zoo for example, were also very fun decks! And to be honest, only one of these meta-decks wasn't fun to play against either. There's never been a format with as much interaction in games before or since.

I think XYZ was the peak of the game in terms of rules and complexity. It was the sweet-spot. Now it's too much for new players.

VRAINS after the shake-up of Master Rule 4, mainly banning enough cards that were now too broken with Links and releasing enough new archetypes designed for MR4 and enough good Link monsters was such a fun time to play the game.
Placement of cards mattered more than ever which added a layer of depth to the game previously unseen and while it sort of dragged out, I really enjoyed everything it offered safe for Full Power Orcust Knightmare combo with any 2 monsters and anything to do with Firewall.
Salamangreat, Trickstar, Gouki, Sky Striker, Altergeists, Crusadia, etc.

It was done bad at first. Konami needed to sell Links.
Konami doing Master Rule 4 revised in 2020 so that it didn’t apply to Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz is the closest they’ll ever get to admitting it was mostly a mistake on their end. There was just too many decks and cards made at this point that could not function with that original Extra Monster Zone rule

was talking of the animation
not current sets released
the only anime cards showed there was the ones in duel monsters
that's if you play at a hyper meta lv like modern yugioh fans only ever do
people who like classic yugioh arent generally playing to win in the first turn cause to them
that's unfun, you can dislike that preference for a kinda games with friends instead of the ftk summon million extra deck monsters but that wont stop people from preferring the more causual way of playing
and pretty ironic of a statement considering that's no different in the modern game if not worse cause every deck has the same sorta seachers,extenders and hand traps
and modern yugioh is only ever meta and played competitive unlike yugioh classic which is actually played causually and has games that arent 1 turn and 50 mins long with the guy cycling though half his deck
