Who would win between Jaden and Yugi?

It would be Jaden. In addition to that there were two episodes, in which Jaden dueled against Yugi's deck by a duelist named Dimitri who loves to impersonate other duelists.
 
Beating Yugi's deck wasn't the same as beating Yugi (even Jaden came to that realization in that episode). Further, Jaden was otherwise owned by Kaibaman (which was as close to the real Kaiba that Jaden would ever see). So it would seem logical that Yugi would own Jaden.

All that said a) The winner would be who the writers decide on and b) a scenario between the 2 for real would be awfully unsatisfying since either 1: Yugi wins so what's the point, 2: Jaden wins which would be impossible to swallow or 3: It's a draw so what's the point. The match they had with Jaden and Dimitri was probably as close as we'll get for the "real" thing without having the "not going to please anyone" scenario as outlined above.
 
I definitely agree that defeating Yugi's deck does not come close to beating Yugi; however the real question is how would Yugi deal with the Elemental Heroes that Jaden uses; I'm also assuming that Yugi's deck will not be upgraded past the Waking the Dragon's storylines (no Destiny Heroes, CDIP, EOJ, POTD...for Yugi). Just to keep up with the changing times and strategy, they would probably have to use the advanced format and Yugi would have to duel for the sport of it (no fair making him duel to save someone from the shadow realm); however Jaden would be allowed to duel for the honor of the academy.
 
One thing you have to realize is that in anime, certain bars are set and once set, no one can reach or supersede it. In Yu Gi Oh, the bar is set by Yugi, who is closely followed by Kaiba. In Gundam Seed and Destiny, it is set by Kira Yamato, followed by Arthrun. Shinn may have "defeated" Kira, but his skills are no where near the "godlike" abilities the writers have made Kira to be. Same goes for Yu Gi Oh.

Now if it came down to Judai vs Jounouchi, then at best, it would be a tie since both are so luck reliant. (I really don't see Judai as the "next Yugi"). Obviously, these are all my opinions. So agree or disagree with them at will.
 
Yeah, good point on the Kaibaman defeat.

I think it would be neat to see them go to a draw or something, but Jaden looks to be the next "dueling prodigy" or "chosen one" so at this point he'd lose to Yugi.

This reminds me of that old SNL skit with the Chicago Fans and when asked to respond to the Final Jeopardy question of "Who would win, the Bears or the Bulls?" - "A battle of such epic proportions could not..." 8^D
 
Is Yugi's game luck reliant or is that the Heart of the Cards working for him? And yes, Jaden is the one to succeed Yugi. I think a good writer good make this an interesting and entertaining duel that ended in a draw.
 
Who'd want to see a Draw though? That would just be disappointing (see Jaden vs. Zane at the end of season 1). Yeah the ending was nice but it made everything else seem pointless.
 
With it being an anime and all, I agree that it would basically go to whomever the writers thought would be most popular.

However...

If you were to take Jaden's deck and Yugi's deck out of the anime and give them to two players in the real world, then Jaden's deck would utterly annihilate Yugi's. Aside from the couple of combos involving Dark Magician (each combo having only one copy of each card needed) Yugi's deck is utterly random. Jaden's deck at least has an overall strategy and synergy to it.

Quite true, considering that Yugi's deck won't be undergoing anymore changes, unlike Judai's deck. I mean come on, how often do you see Normal Monsters anymore nowadays?
 
1 other thing to consider. Yugi's deck that Dimitri used was closer to Yami Yugi's deck (aka the Pharaoh: after all, they did upgrade his 2 Ritual Monsters with their IOC Counterparts).

However, the Yugi that Jaden bumped into was the young Yugi all grown up and remember the last time we saw him duel, he was busting out Silent Swordsman and the ever loving Gadgets. So really, don't quite assume that the deck won't be upgraded.

Also, since Spell and Trap destruction rarely appears in their decks in the anime (yeah there's the occasional MST or Heavy Storm but rarely are they used. Heck, Mai had Harpie's Feather Duster and they almost never let her use it) who's to say that Normal Monsters would be bad? Let's see. I go first, I summon my Luster Dragon. I activate Two-Man Cell Battle and Non-Spellcasting Area, set 1 other card and end my turn which then let's me summon Divine Dragon Ragnarok. Oh look, here comes Elemental Hero Flame Wingman trying to kill me. I activate my trap card, Justi-break. See? That was easy enough to script. I mean, they were making Mokey Mokey look like a threat in 1 episode (who's also Normal) not to mention they still treat Blue-Eyes White Dragon as 1 of the elite monsters in the game.
 
Don't forget Yugi has the knack for drawing the right card at the precise time and I could see a Lightforce Sword pinning Polymerization or Chain Lightning ...I am considering working on a fan fiction that places 16 of the duelists in the same time and forces them to eliminate each other to return to their homes; still haven't decided on the 16 but will start with:

Yugi; Kaiba; Rare Hunter; Anubis; Raphael; Dartz; Marik; Noah
Jaden; Zane ...

The only thing I have decided for sure is that Yugi will face Jaden in the final (single elimination of course).
 
Well if you want 16, try an 8/8 split with the main characters from both shows:

Yugi, Yami Yugi (Pharaoh), Joey, Kaiba, Mai, Pegasus, Marik, Bakura

Jaden, Aster, Zane, Syrus, Chazz, Alexis, Dr. Crowler, and Bastian.

Have fun.
 
Bastian would be hard since he has 6 (maybe even more) different decks constantly with him. I would go for Sarge instead of him :)

I surely would be disappointed but I also was when in the aforementioned duel Zane forgot to set his Limiter Removal. He could have won quite easily. And actually I expected him to win. But I guess it was for the health of the story(?).

I was considering replacing Syrus and/or Dr. Crowler with Sartorious and maybe one of the dark riders; I thought that Anubis was too evil to leave off the list and I couldn't leave out Raphael because he actually defeated Yugi. I do agree that an 8/8 split is in order as I try to put this together.
 
I think yugi would win personally.
Two words: destiny draw
yugi always gets the card he wants and somehow makes new rules in most of the duels.
like fusing a zombie to blue eyes ultimate to rot him.
 
Ever notice that Jaden only loses when he has something to learn from losing (Zane, Kaibaman, Aster #1)? All anyone - Yugi included - has to do is have a moral to the duel, and Jaden automatically loses!

I'm not sure about that. Yugi lost to Kaiba in their second duel, and it was precisely because of his morals.

Whoever wins and whoever loses, I think the one thing we can be certain of is that the duel will last 6 episodes.



How many duelists does it take to change a lightbulb?
- One. And a Spell Card.
 
A match between Jaden and Yugi? Hmm...I think it's anybody's game. As far as Card Advantage goes, Jaden has a lot more support than Yugi. Dark Magician has no more support anymore. Jaden's Elemental Heroes have been getting support in every set since The Lost Millenium. In fact, Cyberdark Impact is the first set released since The Lost Millenium to not have E-Hero support.

Of course, Yugi just has dumb luck. But then again so does Jaden, but Yugi's is on a MUCH higher scale.

Honestly, I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Jaden ever actually faces Yugi in the actual show (although it's extremely unlikely). But here's a thought: Why just stop with Jaden facing Yugi? Which duelist in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX could beat Yugi? Zane? Bastion? Alexis? Chazz? Sartorious?

Think about that...
