The Yugioh Protagonists
I have been looking over the various Yugioh franchises ... Preferably: Yu-Gi-OH, GX , ZEXAL, and ARC-V , and trying to find some proof of Dimensions have more than one meaning in the verse . And the proof i found seems to warrant the key being created.Before we get started with the Evidence: The Plana is a force that can summon a power from a different "Dimension" . They consistently refer to this fact multiple times. So it is obviously not something to be reckoned with. Plana is constantly implied to be weaker than the Millennium Items, considering that: ( Atem completely redid the effects of Dark Plana, something far stronger than average plana, and amped by an MIllennium Item ... And Bakura one-shots an master of Plana , just using the Millennium Ring, which is canonically weaker than the Millennium Puzzle ) . Now that that is out of the way: Let me explain how in GX & , Yu-Gi-OH ARC-V , they show that an "Dimension" can have differing meanings than just "Planetary" .Before anyone attempts to : ( There was no evidence except for the usage of World, that it was going to effect just the planet itself. the word World is vague cause ti could mean quite literally anything on the tier list. If they use Dimensions, we need to know what they meant, and only the multiple series can show us that . My reasons will be based on the usage of Dimension throughout the series, rather than destroying the world. ) I will go over both GX & ARC-V, starting with the former. This will ONLY scale to people within the DsoD movie, so NO DsoD power amp Yusei ( If this was even canon to the original Yu-Gi-Oh!, it would have happened WELL after Bonds Beyond Time . )
Examples of such...[]
IN GX, when Yubel was combining all of the twelve timelines together, they were refered to as " Duel Spirit DIMENSIONS " . Please check it out for yourself if you don't believe me..
In ARC-V, this one shouldn't be too hard to figure out. The Original Timeline was split apart by Zarc, into 4 differing timelines, each different but somewhat connected ( via the 4 legendary dragons ) . However, what do they consistently refer to them as many time ?They are called " Dimensions " . Like i mentioned, this is pretty consistent with the entire ARC-V series.
Was originally not going to use Zexal due to One Inconsistency... But perhaps i am mistaken Space-time is messed up between the Barian World & Astral World. This is supremely important, because this wouldn't have occured, if either of them did not have time or space within each of their dimensions. It doesn't matter if one of them was the cause of the evidence, but because they are completely parallel, the other would be a timeline as well . They stated in the Interdimensional War Arc , that the wave that messed up space-time came from the Astral World & Barian World. This would mean that both Barian and Astral World, or at least one of them , have space & time in them. Meaning, they fit the requirements for being timelines. The Human World is unknown for what side, but both Barian and Astral World fit the requirements pretty well
Yugioh: Bonds Beyond Time. Yugioh 5D's timeline ( Each of the three worlds: GX, Original, and Yusei are referred to as separate timelines a few times in 5D's . They referred to Yusei's Timeline as an Dimension. Yeah... Definitely a great find on the wikia one again. Definitely...
Tiering for DsoD / Manga Yu-Gi-OH! Characters [ Listed in terms of Hierarchy ] ( Due to DsoD/Dark Side of Dimensions being canon to the Manga...WIP )
If this is accepted... Probably tied with Zexal as the most powerful Protagonists in Yu-Gi-Oh!
Aigami: At least Low 2-C ( Can effortlessly create "Dimensions" using Plana, and can manipulate them specifically as he sees fit wothout any effort. This is very similar to another At least Low 2-C character , such as Rosalina , who has an similar degree of ease . Dimensions are consistently represented in many series of Yu-Gi-Oh! as Timelines. Despite his power, Plana is canonically vastly weaker than just ONE Millennium Item [ Young Bakura w/ the Millennium Ring, with the first time he used it, curbstomped Aigami's master into the pavement . This would make even Aigami far stronger, without a question, than even the Numeron Code. )
Shadi [ Pre-Reveal of Memories ] : 2-C( Is completely above Aigami without any effort involved. Despite being one second away from dying, he gave enough lifeforce to give to his friends the power that Aigami has at the moment. Aigami can effortlesly create "Dimensions" using this very same energy, and can manipulate them specifically as he sees fit without any sort of effort. This level of power is astronomically similar to how Arceus, when severely weaknened, was able to give enough power to create the Creation Trio [ Which is one of his reasons for him being 2-C ] . Both feats are admirable, but Shadi's seems to be far greater, due to him dying and still having that much strength, meaning that he was literally way less than 1% of his power at that time. Arceus meanwhile, was at least at 10% of his maximum strength in Restricted form . This would make, even an extremely casual Shadi, far stronger than Zarc and possibly even Numeron Dragon via scaling . )
Yami Bakura [ Pre-Reveal of Memories ] : At least 2-C ( Has been shown to be Immensely above the Plana. An very Young , Inexperienced Bakura w/ the Millennium Ring, with the first time he used it, curbstomped Aigami's master ( Shadi ) into the pavement. Shadi is stated to be the strongest that ever existed that used the Plana by an far margin , and is the Master of Plana , being respected even when Aigami obtained the power he did. Aigami's Master is implied to be far stronger than Base Aigami currently is. Especially considering that despite Shadi being one second away from dying, he gave enough lifeforce to give to his friends the power that Aigami has at the moment. which is the Cube Aigami uses to create his "Dimensions" . This would mean that At least 1% of Shadi's power is required to create these Timelines, if not far lower than that . This level of power is astronomically similar to how Arceus, when severely weaknened, was able to give enough power to create the Creation Trio ( Which is one of his reasons for him being 2-C ) . Yami Bakura effortlessly one-shotted Shadi, leaving him on the verge of death with one shot, which killed him not too long afterwards . So... In terms of scaling [ Yami Bakura is at the very least >>>>>>>>>>>> Shadi who himself is at least >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Base Aigami ] . Yami Bakura's superiority over Plana mirrors Arceus' superiority over other At least Low 2-C's in his setting. Aigami ccan effortlessly create "Dimensions" using Plana. Dimensions are consistently represented in many series of Yu-Gi-Oh! as Timelines.
Possessed Aigami : At least 2-C ( Vastly superior to his previous self, with an massive amp from combining with the Cubic Deity and the Millennium Ring, which is far superior to an Master of Plana [ Shadi ] , who should be way stronger than Aigami's base power w/ Plana. Aigami can effortlessly create "Dimensions" using Plana. Dimensions are consistently represented in many series of Yu-Gi-Oh! as Timelines )
Yami Yugi: At least 2-C During the BoS / Pre DK / "Season 0" Arc [ Beginning of Series / Pre-Duelist Kingdom / "Season 0" Arc ] . ( The Millennium Puzzle is stated to be far superior to the combined might of the other Millennium Items, supported consistently in the anime and the manga . They even said that even putting one Millennium Item against it is impossible, meaning that the Millennium Puzzle is incomprehensibly superior to it. Even one Millennium Item empowered Aigami to Possessed Aigami state . As such he is at the very least as strong as Possessed Aigam , if not far superior . Base Aigami can effortlessly create "Dimensions" using Plana. Dimensions are consistently represented in many series of Yu-Gi-Oh! as Timelines )
Kaiba ( Battle City ) : At least 2-C During theBattle City ( Obtained Obelisk, which is equal to Slifer in the God Hierarchy. The God Cards are far stronger than the average Millennium Items, but only weaker than the Millennium Puzzle )
Marik Ishtar ( Yami ) : At least 2-C ( Has Ra, who is considered to be 1/3 of Horakthy's power. Ra is considered the most powerful God in the series. Has the capability to one-shot both Slifer and Obelisk at their absolute best )
Yugi Mutou ( Yami ) [ Battle City ] : At least 2-C via Ragnarok ( Sealed Ra . Post-Battle City ,he has obtained the powers of Obelisk, Ra, and Slifer )
Tenma Yako : At least 2-C ( Has the Wicked Gods, which were created by Pegasus to rival the powers of the Gods. )
The Priest ( Atem's Father ) : At least 2-C ( Has Exodia, which fought fairly well against Zorc. He only lost via
Kaiba [ Shadow RPG ] : At least 2-C ( Using Blue-Eyes , he can go head to head with Obelisk the Tormentor, who compares to Slifer. With Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, he could fight equally with Zorc for a good deall of time . )
Zorc Necrophades: At least 2-C, likely Higher ( Casually kept up with the God Cards. Considered them as child's play. One-shotted all of them at the same time )
Atem : At least 2-C , likely Higher ( When he activated his name, he could repel a direct attack from Necrophades. With his will alone, he became powerful enough to easily merge the Egyptian God Cards together into Horakthy. He was the lifeforce that Horakthy used to sustain enough eenrgy to one-shot Zorc . Comparable to Horakthy himself . )
Horakthy At least 2-C , likely Higher( Effortlessly one-shotted Zorc. )
==Scaling...
Yugi & Atem. The ones who scale easiest to this.
==
Yugi Mutou / Atem scales pretty easily here. They oneshot Aigami, who is a master control of Plana, which can effect /effortlessly create "DImensions" ,which are consistently refered to as timelines in various other examples within "Yu-Gi-OH! ". He also completely disperses said Dimension he traps them in as a backlash of what his Magician did. Aigami had a massive amp in the form of the Millennium Ring, which would one-shot an master of Plana ( Aigami's Master/Superior ) . Basically an extremely casual Low 2-C feat. Atem also effortlessly destroys the dimension Joeyw as transported to, which like previous mentioned, is only reffered to by the series itself as a timeline. Atem then saved Joey from the "Dimension" he was trapped in. He usually has an amp in the form of the Millennium Puzzle when he is alive, but he was a spirit then. This means that the overall power he had was different compared to the power he normally had.
Kaiba scales due to being superior to Aigami ( defeated Aigami personally without the amps ) , and with his strong will , can resist the power of Plana. Before anyone says Joey can do this as well, need i remind you that Atem was the one who saved Joey in the end.Evidenced by the glowing gold light that shines around him and disperses the dimension ( which like i said, is consistently refered to as Timelines throughout the " Yu-Gi-OH! Series " ) he was trapped in. FYI, it's the very same glowing light that disperses the Dimenison that encased " The World " .
Aigami ( and any user of Plana, which would include his Sister ) would scale to this as well , due to being offical wielders of Plana, which can easily summon "Dimensions" , which are refered to throughout the series as Timelines .
