10 Best Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists in the Entire Franchise, Ranked
Apr 26, 2025
As far as the original Yu-Gi-Oh! was concerned, no other duelist could compare to Yugi Muto or Seto Kaiba. They were the undisputed best duelists of their era, and only supernatural, cheating villains could challenge, let alone defeat them. Throughout the franchise, though, there have been a number of duelists to have not only become their equals, but to have surpassed them.
Hundreds of talented duelists appear in the first six seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh!, but only a handful rank among the best of the best. Naturally, this includes the protagonists and rivals of every season, who follow in Yugi and Kaiba's over-powered footsteps. There have also been several major villains that, even without cheating, have seemed unstoppable.
10 Jack Atlas is an Even Stronger Rival Than Seto Kaiba
Jack Possesses One of the Most Impressive Dueling Records in the Franchise
Also known as The King, Jack Atlas is Yusei Fudo's main rival in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds. At the beginning of the series, Jack is the most famous and renowned duelist in the world and, while he doesn't remain the champion, he's only ever surpassed by a single other duelist. This is reflected by his win-loss ratio, as Jack Atlas' win rate is higher than any other rival character in the first six seasons, including Seto Kaiba's.
