Since there's a new YGO movie releasing next month here in the west, I thought it would be cool to dump the original manga which the movie is based off of. For those of you who only ever watched the anime, I highly recommend reading the manga as it's much darker and better written than the anime was imo. There's also none of the fillers you have to deal with. Since the movie is releasing on Jan 27, 2017, I will dump one volume a day leading up to its release.
Today we continue the Duelist Kingdom arc in Volume 9.
Chapter 70
Chapter 71
Seems like I am the only one here for now. Anyway.
As a person who only saw Duelist Kingdom in anime I am now reading the manga. Should I watch post Duelist Kingdom arc after I am done with this? What are the additions or differences does manga have?
>>151484479
sorry I was going to say anime
>>151483916
>>151483947
>Its a ''Joey pulls the time wizard out of his ass thanks to ancient egypcian magic and wins episode''
>>151484479
I think Battle City is definitely worth watching. It's probably the most faithful arc to the manga in the entire anime. There are a couple of changes and a few filler episodes but overall very solid stuff.
The Virtual World, DOMA, and KCGP are all filler arcs.
The final arc isn't adapted that well either. It has a lot of original content that wasn't in the manga version and the animation becomes really atrocious.
>>151484622
watched 5ds and gx completely when they aired and caught up with Arc V. I think OG is the next stop for me. I think I can even enjoy the filler arcs.
Chapter 72
>>151484781
The virtual world arc is decent. It fleshes out Kaiba's past a bit more than the manga but at the same time it kind of waters down how harsh of a past he had.
I don't really care for the other filler arcs, DOMA because of how it messed up the lore of the series and regressed the character development of Atem, and KCGP was just a mini-duel tournament that wasn't as high stakes or exciting as Battle City or even Duelist Kingdom.
Keep going, OP.

Knowing what her cards are without looking at them gives her no more of an advantage as knowing what her cards are by looking at them.
I guess this is supposed to be psychological warfare, but it comes across kind of weird. I imagine someone like Kaiba wouldn't give a shit.
>>151483553
>her whole deck is dominatrix themed
Mai is kinkier than I remembered.
Another iconic scene in all of YGO
Chapter 73
>>151483828
Now I'm wondering if Mai, had Rex managed to win on the boat, would have whipped him like this.
>>151485364
>>151485391
to be honest, im gonna miss this kind of fabulous bullshit once we get to battle city.
>>151483916
>Joey wins because Yami cheats for him to get him the card that he gave to him in the first place
So, basically Joey did absolutely nothing on his own in this duel aside from smelling perfume.
>>151484511
I can't help but notice that regular Yugi hasn't been out for a while now, where as in the anime he was normal until it was time for a duel.
>>151484666
>lures people to duel by the ocean
>asks if it's okay if they duel by the ocean
Mako might be the least asshole-ish person they've met so far.
>>151484712
>it's a "Yugi forgets about the field power bonus" episode
Chapter 74
>>151486144
FUCK!
never thought i would say this, but, poor kaiba!
>>151484782
What's to stop Yugi from just looking at Mako's cards and calculating the power increase? Does he really need to see the actual hologram before he can attack?
>>151486201
It's probably in the rules somewhere that water monsters cannot be attacked underwater
>>151484999
Atem sure does attack the field a lot in Duelist Kingdom.
>>151485199
So has Yami forgotten that Defense Mode exists, or is he just really stubborn about not using it?
>>151485270
>>151485303
>use the Stone Soldier as land for his new monsters
Are they just making up rules in every duel?
>>151485629
Joey is the best kind of protagonist, but also the worst kind of person.
>>151486645
hmm, i dunno if this is better than kaibas ghost/the fat clown from the anime or not.
>>151486219
Well that's horrifying.
Chapter 75
>>151486336
Did they lose trust in the corporation because Kaiba lost a game or because he tried to publicly execute a small child in a game publicly?
I feel like this is an important and worrying distinction to make.
>>151486903
Probably because he lost the game in front of thousands of people
>>151483715
Everyone cheated in this tournament
>>151487558
Oh wow, I didn't think they'd do that again.
Chapter 76
>>151486363
That's actually not a terrible idea from Mokuba.
>>151486645
>>151486687
One of the video games had both the gay clown and this puppet guy. Reshef of Destruction, I think.
>>151486180
this is after he tried to kill Yugi and co in a series of games + he caused some dude to kill himself and almost killed Yugi's garndpa, this also helped kaiba to get out of being such an ass
Chapter 77
>wake up from a coma
>immediately call for your helicopter, put on your coat and go out to play card games
Man, if Kaiba weren't so rich, he'd be the biggest loser ever.
>>151488248
>>151488289
another one in the pile.
>>151486903
gambling is legal for all ages in japan, and there's no limit to what you can bet, so it would't be a big deal there
Continuing to beg for mega download
>>151488468
>implying he didn't fuck his maid before doing all that shit.
Chapter 78
>>151488468
Kaiba is the coolest goon ever.
>>151485729
fucking pegasus, I thought the comic book was a 4kids edit
And that ends volume 9. Tomorrow we will continue the Duelist Kingdom arc in volume 10.
>>151490205
Thanks anon
>>151490205
Thanks man
>>151490068
Nah, Pegasus is just that much of a manchild.
>>151490205
Good stuff mate
>>151490205
Thanks for the dump anon
>>151490803
you too are an adult reading a comic book made for adolescents
Huh, never read the DK manga before. Thanks for posting, OP.
>>151492333
Perhaps. I've come to terms with it.
>>151485729
So is there any particular reason this translator kept Pegasus's dub name and the dubbed honorifics? It's kind of jarring.
>>151494438
did he Pegasus is an american so maybe all of that was in the Japanese
>>151494540
His original name was "Pegasus J. Crawford" iirc. And the "Yugi Boy" thing is obviously meant to be "Yugi-kun".
>>151494604
Nah it was Yugi boy. Even the Japanese anime kept it Yugi boy.
>>151495192
So the seiyuu actually said "Yugi-boy" in Engrish? Because otherwise it's a literal translation of japanese honorifics, which is stupid considering there's no modern English equivalent for most of them.
>>151495323
Yeah the seiyuu said Yugi boy
>>151495594
That's...unusual.
>>151495682
They wanted to keep Pegasus being a condescending American, so Yugi-boy works fine.
>>151496199
Makes sense, I guess.Because I call my 5 year old cousin David Boy all the time, right nips?
>>151485599
The stolen chips and cards make much fucking sense in the manga seeing that they play in table mats.
Unlike the fucking anime where they use that retarded and huge holographic field. What the fuck they were thinking?
>>151496298
Pegasus is fabulous Willy Wonka, far as I'm concerned, foppish behavior is on par for him.
>>151496565
The anime probably wanted something that looked more impressive than the hologram booth and table mats.
>>151499082
ikr. Still the stealing thing is fucking retarded in the anime, more than 4kids invisible guns.
Reading bump
>No Duelist remake
>Get Card games on Skateboards
Thanks Konami.
>>151489570
Why does everyone forget about the field power ups?
>>151485729
>gorgonzola cheese and and the world's finest wine
Fucking hell, I thought that was just a YGO abridged joke.
>>151485695
Why does he has a painting of Shadi?
>>151496298
To be fair, some people do that with certain names.
>Dannyboy
>>151503242
Shadi gave him the Eye.
>>151487558
The first time it worked because it was a shadow game but here? Come on now, that was lazy writing at its finest.
>>151504292
Not really. Duel Monsters actually have a will of their own as you will find out later when the origin of Duel Monsters is revealed. Kaiba has a very special connection with Blue-Eyes too as you will see in the final arc. This is just foreshadowing at the moment.
>>151503498
thanks for reminding me, dude was hardcore!
This game before the hologram things came out must have been an absolute nightmare to referee, not even high level players in the game can work out the rules and they walk their monsters into death.
>>151492333
and just like Pegasus i enjoy it rather than be ashamed of it
>>151504292
You should know by now that Yugi is the King of Asspulls. Just look at the RPG with Bakura where the end of the game is just
>Bakura: "And now I do something where I should win."
>Ryou: "haha nope"
>Bakura: "Fuck."
about five times in a row.
