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 Battle City in Volume 19.
Chapter 161
Is there a Light/White Magician?
>>151915416
Not as far as I know.
>>151915758
>Is it fun
>Yes, because I win
He must be a /v/ lurker.
>>151915758
>I'll take you to the very edge of your life
It's just a card game dude, chill
>>151915516
You'd think if Blue Eyes gets his own Black counterpart in the manga, the Dark Magician would get a Light one. Huh.
>>151915640
*Shadow Realm disk
>>151915293
>"There's only room for one magic-themed duelist in this world."
Then I guess it's you since Yugi uses a ton of different types of monsters. Dark Magician and its support cards probably make up an eighth of Yugi's deck.
>>151915416
There's Silent Magician.
>>151915640
Ah yes, the Dark Energy Disc that will send your mind to the Shadow Realm.
Assuming it doesn't cut through your tendons first.
Chapter 162
>>151915758
>implying you didn't enjoy giving all those Penalty Games
Atem please.
>>151915876
I think he's started to associate card games with life or death situations after Death-T.
>>151916046
He's really sperging out over having to discard.
>>151916133
>manages to top-deck Dark Magician
Of course.
>>151916303
Why is everyone in this series into bondage?
>>151916451
He didn't top deck it. He drew into Dark Magician with Card Destruction.
>>151915842
This is really useful. I will try it with some magic cardsg
>>151916540
Why didn't he sacrifice Yugi's Dark Magician?
>>151916740
Or you know, just suicide your dark magician and attack him with something more than 1500 atk point.
>>151916794
Atem is too crazy about his DM to do that.
>>151915758
He kills that robber for a game and mindbreaks a few people, the hypocrite
>>151916771
Because he wants to prove who's the real master of magicians.
>>151917210
Checkmate!
Chapter 163
>>151915558
>shotgun shuffle will damage your cards
This is a duel to the death, Atem.
Who cares
>>151916771
The coffin can't target a monster that's already in play.
>>151915933
I fucking love the magnet warriors. I was stoked when they got a retrain
>>151917599
>that face in the bottom panel
I've seen someone make that face in a game before. I'll have to post it when OP finishes uploading all of this volume.
>>151917641
That is an extremely specific trap card.
>>151918125
Absolute bullshit
>>151918125
BULLSHIT!
Chapter 164
>>151918164
Is this actually a rule
>>151918125
>>151918144
>>151918162
On one hand, the card description does say "Each player Tributes all monsters of this type on his/her side of the field".
On the other hand, this is total bullshit. The LP totals should be
Yugi: 0
Pandora: 200
>>151918051
>can't you hear your servant crying
Yeah, it is not like you have sacrifice your monster as a catapult turtle fodder.
>>151918514
Well in yugis defense, his monsters are actually loyal to him, and he respects them back, so i doubt yugis monsters suffer or complain when he does sacrifice maneuvers.
>>151918514
>sacrifices Beta to summon Dark Magician
>suddenly becomes holier-than-thou about sacrificing monsters
what
>>151918633
>Either player may activate this card.
Pandora kinda screwed himself on that one.
>>151918691
[UNNECESSARY FANSERVICE INCOMING]
>>151918727
Pandora's deck is pretty good, to be honest. He really does like his single-target monster destruction cards, though.
>>151918822
You should have read your card text before playing it, pandora.
>>151918875
Uhhuh, yeah, we all believe you yugi...
>>151918875
>"I am the best Dark Magician player ever!" - Pandora
>"What the fuck do you mean there's a Dark Magician archetype?" - Pandora, 15 minutes later
The ultimate waifu is born
>>151918873
Pandora probably assumed Yami runs only one DM and didn't know about ultimate waifu
>>151918248
What's a "rule"?
>>151918936
And that's the moment where anon acquire his waifu.
>>151918936
What is pandoras expression even trying to convey there?
>big shock by knowing he is gonna lose?
Or
>the most intense orgasm face ever
>P:oh my god... THAT IS SO HOT!!!!!
>>151918337
Sacrificing shit is a key mechanic. Why is this suddenly some huge tragedy?
>>151918936
I remember playing Dark Duel Stories in elementary school and seeing DMG for the first time in that game.
That was my introduction to a lot of Battle City characters and the TCG rules, in fact.
>>151919056
Pandora is EEEEEEEVVVIIILLLL and dowsnt respect his monsters, thats all...
>>151918979
Why would he sacrifice half of his life points to summon a weaker monster?
>>151919107
Does anyone other than Rafael even deserve to complain about it?
>>151918933
Also yeah.
One would assume that the 'ultimate magician master' would know about the existence of the dark magician with big boobies.
>>151919243
Dmg gains extra atk for every dark magician IN EITHER PLAYERS graveyard.
>>151918727
>cannot be countered or negated
What bullshit is this
>>151919411
I just noticed it's all set cards, not just set spell and traps.
This look way too op for its time.
>>151919243
>>151919401
No, I know her effect. I meant that more as a question to Pandora going "Haha, my monster is still stronger!"
>>151919056
This card specifically destroys the soul of a card so it's like worse or whatever.
>>151919464
He doesn't know about DM Waifu's existence so of course he doesn't know her effect
>>151919542
Yeah, I can buy like, a hundred dark magicians from coolstuff right now. Plenty of souls
>>151919700
Well, right now i guess you could, but back then it was a very rare card.
>>151919700
Oh come on you're just saying shit just for the sake of not being wrong and you know that. The manga universe is clearly more mystic in that regard.
Rip OP again.
>>151919840
Cliffhanger!
>>151919056
It's all about the heart of the cards also this probably factors in
>>151918624
>>151919994
HOW WILL WAIFU SURVIVE THIS ATTACK IF SHE HAS LOWER ATTACK POINTS
>>151920118
>raises by 500
I wish.
>>151919769
>not being wrong
First of all, it was a joke, nerd. Calm down.
Second, with the exception of the god cards, it's never been established that the cards are anything more than paper. Why card tributes are suddenly bad, what the fuck a card's "soul" could possibly be, or why cards are acting with sentience is unexplained
>>151920164
Shouldn't he have 250 LP after that failed attack? DMG should also be at 3500 now, too.
Not really a big deal, but still worth noting.
>>151920078
By being a qt
>>151920171
>what the fuck a card's "soul" could possibly be, or why cards are acting with sentience is unexplained
Literally all explained in the origin of duel monsters.Dark Magician is special because he's literally the servant of Atem from Egypt, MahadSame with Blue-Eyes in that one duel against the puppet master.The spirit of Blue-Eyes is a girl who fell in love with Kaiba's past life in Egypt and always swore to protect himThe cards become sentient based on the connection they have with their owners.
Chapter 165
>>151920394
There are people playing Duel Monsters RIGHT NOW that don't have spiritual bonds that they forged with a monster in a past life.
ishygddt
>>151920536
>"Oh right, I forgot this was a duel to the death."
Is the sawblade not constantly whirring in the background? I'm surprised they can even hear each other, now that I think about it.
>>151920394
So ALL the cards pegasus made tap into egyptian voodoo? Or just the god cards?
Because if its just the gods, then there's no reason the paper should be "loyal"
>>151920671
All of them, I think. Pretty much all of the signature monsters, at least. I dunno if there is some guy out there that has a close spiritual bond with, say, Beaver Warrior.
>>151920674
i like how its regular yugi who tries to save him
>>151920736
>Louise, the Beaver Warrior!
>>151920671
Probably not all the cards. I'm going to say just the cards that Pegasus made based off the Egyptian stone tablets he could find.
>>151920738
Even in the anime, Atem was going to let Pandora die.
>>151920736
It's been a while, but I vaguely remember that it's not all. The rest are 'fillers' that pegasus designed. It's the core ones like god card, blue eyes etc.
Anyway, sorry mate >>151920171 the joke simply doesn't work, especially since by that same logic I can also just buy a shit ton of blue eyes when there's only supposed to be 3 left.
>>151917078
Self-defence. He didn't initiate the attack.
>>151921085
The mind control rod seems a lot better for controlling the world than being king of a card game
>>151920908
They commit incest?
>>151917875
>thisisnotwhatisignedupfor.jpg
Chapter 166
>>151921271
Oh, so the thing with his lover was canon.
>>151921318
Marik seems to enjoy it a bit too much when his henchmen fail.
>>151920720
>no game is worth dying for
Unless you're Kaiba
>>151921646
>sideways lip piercing
Jesus. That's painful.
>>151921908
>are you saying he tricked me?
Well he already stole from you, so...yknow.
>>151915883
Too bad we use card sleeves in real life
>>151921958
Joey, that sounds well and good and all, but that kid just robbed you.
>>151922105
Oh Weevil, how I missed you
>>151922105
>needing to cheat against Joey
Weevil confirmed for scrub tier.
>>151922149
This asshole.
>>151918873
No, he was making a calculated risk.
His idea was that - as Dark Magician is the strongest Spellcaster-type in raw stats at the time - Yugi can't have anything that exceeds 2500 ATK. So no matter what he summons, he's still fucked.
That's the plan anyway.
>>151922048
Joey winning battle city was foreshadowed too much for it not to be the original plan
>>151922302
Aw man, I was reading this story for the first time.
>>151917283
>>151917330
>>151917381
well, that was pretty cool
Chapter 167
>>151922366
Don't worry, you're still in for many treats. Also outrage.
>>151921504
Anzu is a lot cuter in the manga. She seems frumpy in the anime
>>151917911
Sometimes I wonder why some of the monsters are sentient
>>151922519
His Fiend Jester thing was sentient, too. Look at it when Yugi uses Brain Control.
>>151918248
It's actually called "mandatory effect" sometimes it helps, sometimes it fucks you up
>>151918822
But Yugi you already lost timing....
>>151922064
Slow down. Some /a/utists don't get real world humor
>>151919243
>Why would you sacrifice half your life points to summon a weaker monster?
Classic stupid villian thinking
>>151922871
>4 stars and 2000 attack
That would have been in every deck back then.
>>151922648
>was just wondering how Joey playing cards helps his sister
>Otogi says the same thing
>>151922871
Such a horrible card
>>151918979
>>151920068
Funny how Dark Magician Girl doesn't look that sexualized but sort of badass
>>151920164
>That carefuly detailed face and eyes
Even Takeuchi knew he drew the ultimate waifu
>>151923076
Isn't this a pretty good card? You get a free tribute.
>>151915293
What if Yugi defeated Atem using Pndora's Dark Magian, and Sugoroku's Blue Eyes?
>>151923198
What's the point
>>151922975
It has the drawback of needing you to sacrifice a monster every time it attacks.
>>151920826
Atem is still kind of a jerk, Yugi is the softy
Chapter 168
>>151921271
Well that's interesting, maybe Pandora didn't aknowledge the existence of Dark Magician Girl because of her association to his lover and that trauma
>>151923223
I thought it would be interesting.
>>151923346
It isn't
>>151916641
This red Dark Magician design is cooler than the purple one.
>>151923388
>"And your glasses look stupid!"
>>151921908
This is why I always count my deck before leaving the local store
>>151923461
No lie, I had my deck stolen at a small tournament once. Luckily, my brother snapped into action and went around asking people. The guy hadn't left and still had my deckbox and everything. The shop owners asked if it was all my stuff and me and my bro confirmed and the owners kicked the guy out. Those owners were really cool.
>>151915337
>dat smug on Dark Magician
>>151923346
Yugi winning using other peoples cards in that duel diminishes the impact of the victory even more so if it's the finisher
>>151918936
>implying you didn't fap to DMG at least once
>>151922612
I mean, it is the hidden voodoo magic Pegasus unearthed from the stone tablets or Kaiba really cranked up the game AI to unheard levels
>>151920720
Wow, somebody being realistic about the consequences of losing a children's game.
>>151923300
this duel is scrub tier
>>151923597
>Cheating is brilliant
Guess most of his duelling viewing experience has been atem breaking the rules
>>151915758
Oh are we pretending Atem didn't have big ass smirks when he was mind raping people in the beginning?
why fucking no one plays Fissure or Trap Hole?
>>151923820
he grew soft now thanks to Yugi
besides, the people he fucked over in the first 7 volumes were all assholes no one will miss
>>151923523
Back when I was a scrub sometimes some guy would ask me if he could check out my deck and then slip one or two into his pocket, bag, etc
Wonder if it's still a thing, haven't played IRL in years
>>151923918
I wish MONSUTAA KAADO was canon for this little shit to get slapped

Why? There's no added significance
>>151923997
He was only pretending to be retarded.
>>151923909
I'm sure it is, but there's plenty you can do to combat it. Know your deck count at all times, watch them whenever they hold your cards, use unique (even if garish as fuck) deck sleeves.

I own this card in real life. I'd run it in my deck when I played with my brother even though we didn't own a single insect monster because I thought it looked cool.
>>151923863
I mean, one of them was basically just a kid who was stealing other kids' toys. He was a douche, but not "kill and abandon in a deserted warehouse" level douche.
>>151924814

I haven't been following these threads, but good luck OP, I dumped Gash Bell a few months ago and had a lot of fun with it, even if it was stressful and time consuming.
You may want to consider getting a 4chan pass to cut down on the time it takes to get through each volume, in my case, it cut down dumps from being 5-6 hours to 2-3, it almost actually made it too fast., actually.

Out of nostalgia, I decided to hit up amazon.
>BEWD 1st ed from LOB at about $200+
>God cards all cost under $10
>meanwhile some fucker's selling 1st ed Charizard for more than a grand
>>151925888
Nothing racks up prices more than nostalgia
>>151925965
Still, it's pretty crazy to think that a Charizard is worth like a single BD box set.
Also, it's kinda funny that nobody gives a fuck about the Jap Charizard. 1st ed is worth only about $10, poor thing.
Oh and I also didn't even realise there's so many variations of BEWD (though I should have known). Pic related is pretty cool.
>>151918162
>>151918144
Ignore the IRL card which treats the sacrificed monster as direct damage. Here it seems the sacrificed monster is turned into some sort of pseudo monster that can make direct damage (hence Pandora's Dark Magician Ectoplasm having that small infobox in >>151918051 as if it were a monster itself). Yugi's Dark Magician turned itself into the same thing so the ectoplasm couldn't make direct damage without attacking it first, like how Toons can attack directly only when the opponent lacks Toons themselves. Headcanon bullshit of course, but just trying to make sense of it
>>151926218
as is this one
>>151925143
>>151925189
He should have just sold the thing, he could probably get good money out of it.

I just like reading reactions to stuff. Sometimes they point out things I don't notice. Like how Kaiba didn't use Negate Attack during Duelist Kingdom.
>>151927245
Agreed. I read the manga up to mid-Battle City, but even so it's nice to see people think up the same things and freak out over stuff.

But there are Light Magician series of cards.
>>151928074
That's a fan character. Her card doesn't have an actual copyright.
>>151915900
Some people like to think that's what Silent Magician is suppose to be
>>151928074
>>151925143
In the manga he never uses it but in the anime against Odion/Rishido he summons it alongside the other guys he won in Battle City like Jinzo and Fisherman.

>>151932063
Securing the god cards is just one of his goals. He wants to kill Yami Yugi as well as revenge for killing his father (he didn't realize it was actually Yami Marik), that's why he goes around tormenting Yugi in the whole Battle City arc.

I'm sorry, anon, the magic's gone. That moment isn't something to be deliberately replicated. It came, it happened and it went.

He could still secure his victory by BTFO of Yugi with 3 god cards.

Oh yeah this panel. The logic here is a bit of a stretch but basically Ectoplasmer works on both sides of the field and since Pandora declared Spellcaster, it affects both their Dark Magicians. Now it doesn't specifically say that the ectoplasm attacks the opposing player in the japanese version, just that the monsters turn into ectoplasm. So basically you can say both Dark Magicians cancelled each other out because they were the same type. Yami's Dark Magician sacrificed himself to protect his master (foreshadowing for the final arc) while Pandora selfishly sacrificed his to deal some quick damage to Yami, proving Yami's point about respecting your cards and all that jazz.

Marik's not in Domino City at the moment. All he has is one Rare Hunter with Slifer who is weak against Obelisk so he would probably lose to Kaiba if he decided to duel him which is why he decides to go after Yugi with just Slifer but he underestimated him and lost the card. I guess he could wait until he gets there and fight with 2 god cards but seeing as he already gave one to Strings it seems like a waste if he doesn't use him for his plan.

Why did they nerf DMG so hard in the TCG? 500 is much better than 300
>>151920164
She looks kinda badass here. I guess DMG got sexualized a lot more in later chapters, especially how they showcase her riding her wand
>>151920445
Man, Marik is sexy as fuck.
>>151933813
They kind of had to at that time. With 500, you can just say fuck it and deliberately discard 3 DMs and get a DMG with higher ATK than a freaking BEWD.
>>151932959
>Implying Yugi couldn't beat all 3 God cards.
Yugi literally does this at the end of the series. Yugi and Atem together could definitely beat Marik with all 3 gods.

Yes! Best girl finally appear.

One of the most boring duels in this arc, IMO. I fucking hate Weevil and his stupid desk.
>>151934360
>and his stupid desk.
I'd love to see that insect-shaped furniture of his.
>>151923822
These cards aren't common dipshit. Stop comparing this to the actual TCG, the TCG came out much later.
How did Anzu never get bored of her friends doing nothing but talking about fucking YGO?
>>151934725
Doesn't Yugioh have a sizeable fujoshi fanbase? Maybe she does shipping too
>>151933051
Dang, now I'm actually excited about the movie.

Joey gets better at dueling for sure. But as far as Weevil's concerned, Joey should be too weak to do anything to him.
>>151932063
He doesn't know Kaiba has the God Card does he?
>>151937144
Yes, he does.
>>151934725
She's come to term with the fact that her friends are nerds.
>>151934725
But everyone loves card games.
>>151938300
Go away Kaiba
>>151933813
With all her support cards, BMG was pretty OP anyway. Though the power creep eventually trivialized all the classic archetypes.

silent magician yugi's best card
I am currently maratonning GX. It gets undeserved hate imo - the plot can drag itself alot but the characters are all great. Judai is a great lead for a shounen and Manjoume has some good development.
Good series overall.

Once it's drawn, it gets put in the spell/trap zone. In the real card game, you also lose 1000 LP.

It's just an observation, it's not like he's insulting your mother or anything.
>>151940061
To be fair to that anon, it does get rather tiring seeing people point that sort of stuff out after a while. Like after 10 volumes kind of while.
