Yuya's growth started before the anime even started. where it took jaden till season 3 to even start

After finishing Arc-V, I don't see why you were so disappointed with it. 

Sure it could have used 2-3 more episodes to tie up unfinished plot threads, but otherwise, it was good. That final battle with Reiji was quite fun, with tons of powerful cards getting thrown around one after another, with a fun final combo to tie everything up. Especially the final scene where Yuzu was reincarnated was especially satisfying to watch and tied that whole plot point up nicely. 

If anything my only gripe with the series was that the Synchro arc lasted for way too long, and kind of ground the plot to a standstill between episodes 53-80'ish. But this is only a gripe since episodes 26-52 are perhaps the best arc in all of Yugioh (well, that one or the Dawn of the Duel arc from the Original Yugioh), and the Synchro arc was simply a poor follow-up. 

There's also the Dark Signer arc in 5ds that deserves praise. and one of my complaints is that yuyaNEVER used the paladins after the synchro arc. Okay so you can beat the King of the Turbo Duels with it but it's not good enough to fight Edo Phoenix?
