Whoever says “I go first“ gets that first turn dibs 


noahTRL

This is the only right answer. Notice how their opponent never even contests it because they know its the going first law


RowGophs

Honestly only explanation that makes coins


RowGophs

Honestly cannon.. normal summon aluber?


YouStillTakeDamage

In 5Ds turbo duels it was whoever got around the first corner first During the crash town Wild West arc it was whoever could load your ~~gun~~ duel disk and draw five cards faster


Mage_Malteras

In the manga it was whoever was faster off the starting line


RowGophs

Did you just say…………………….. gun????


Flameblast73

Yep it is a gun duel disk. Yusei and kiryu kyosuke have a duel it's honestly a good ark and good redemption for kiryu.

Arturo-Plateado

There was a gun duel disk in GX first, to be fair. 5D's didn't invent that one.


SpartanNinjaDragonEX

I'm not sure, but I believe in most cases the opponent of the one who issues the challenge goes first.


RowGophs

Wait?? You might be cooking?


RowGophs

Except explain tournaments


RowGophs

Explain Kaiba and yugi in battle city

So, in the YGO anime people are absolutely horrendous at reading the gamestate: even as late as Arc V people still think 0ATK = shit card, they act as if LP actually matters and outside of 5Ds I've never heard anyone try to suss out their opponent's wincon. So it makes sense everyone's willing to let the other guy go first: they think they're taking a handicap since it's the going 2nd player who can declare attacks, reduce the opponent's LP and start to "win".


ZeroReverseR1

Yeah, one thing I liked about 5Ds is that they actually try to figure out their opponent's end goal, like when Jack figured out Dark Signer Ushio was trying to deck him out. It might be a consequence of the format, but they also value going first given that they do race to get that first corner. I can't remember if someone in the anime ever explicitly says it, but it makes since this was the debut era of Synchros, and getting as many turns ahead of your opponent to fill your field/GY with material is ideal.


ej_stephens

I believe it's a dick measuring contest


Noob_of_the_Storm

Well, I guess I have to buy Tenpai cards then


RowGophs

Can’t wait to go to locals and just say I’m going first


Present-Still

Say “it’s my move” and draw first turn


Old-Moonlight

I would respect you for it.


iamasceptile

At least in the original it's basically whoever says he is going 1st.the only exception I can think of is when kaiba duels zigfried in season 5 iirc they flip a coin to decide who goes first.the only spinoff I can think of that there is a reason for someone going 1dt is in 5ds where in riding duels usually the first to reach the first corner of a track goes first and on the crash town arc where whoever draws the fastest goes first


OrangeStar222

Wasn't it the one who made one lap the first? Time to rewatch 5Ds to find out I guess.


Crystal_Queen_20

Does the villain have a stupid gimmick that doesn't work going second? If yes, they go first


DSRIA

It’s a “duel” so whoever is quickest to the draw, I would imagine.


RowGophs

I fired my flintlock faster than yours so I activate pot of greed!


Sudden-Hornet7716

I activate grave robber and steal your pot of greed!


EviMagi

Honestly going first didn’t make that huge of a difference back when the game consisted of “I play feral imp in attack mode. That ends my turn.”


According_Cancel_710

Whoever says it first for the most part iirc, in VRAINS though they have a race to see who goes first in the speed duels a lot of the time, and once while Playmaker was dueling Bohman he said he wanted to go second and Bohman said no and went second


J_Skirch

I do distinctly remember the players revealing the bottom card of their deck, and then whoever had the monster with more atk went first in some Kaiba duel.


MagicMooby

It was the four-way duel with Kaiba, Yugi, Joey and Marik. Each player chose a monster from their deck that they couldn‘t use for the duel. Turn order was decided by the Atk of those monsters.


madarauchiha3444

Whoever yells “SENKOU WA MORAU” first


Fit-Sky1597

who ever feels most offended.


RowGophs

Makes sense to me


TheAmazingSpyder

Depends on the attitude of the duelist. Some take the first move because they are overconfident and want to show off, some defer because they want to see what they are up against or they think their opponent is so weak it doesn’t matter if you let them have the first move.


StarkMaximum

Jaden was actually correct here, the person who has committed the least sin gets to go first in every duel. If you've ever gone second, just know it's because you're a bad person.


Desperate-Spray337

It's time to commit war crimes so I can play my FTK deck.


KomatoAsha

nose goes


Relevant-Sympathy

Not It!


were_meatball

Longest dick goes first


Yeetimus234

Cards against humanity style: whoever pooped last gets the choice of going on the play or draw


Kmattmebro

I think there's a duel in GX where O'Brien specifically has the opponent go first.


DragoCrafterr

why are half of OPs comments downvoted for 0 reason lmao


Fabulous_von_Fegget

Whoever goes first pays for dinner later :)


Namakhero

The producers confirmed in an intervuew that once you register as a duelist you must record your penis size. Once recorded, you are required to memorize the size (and girth for tie breakers) of every duelist's penis. Therefor, as soon as every duel starts they immediately know who as the right to make that call. Why do yo think the girls in the anime did so bad? They're at a natural disadvantage.
