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 Battle City finals in volume 29. The fated match between Yugi and Kaiba is at hand!
Chapter 251

>>152317930
Man it's impressive how kaiba can keep this whole biggest dick in the series thing going the entire time. He just never takes a break.
Chapter 252
>>152317930
>Behold, signing Guest Book's powers!!
I guess someone finally signed his guestbook.
>>152317930
Does Kaiba ever take a break from being an asshole?
>>152318258
Typical Kaiba.

Actually, maybe this one would be more appropriate.

That's just viz using the Konami effect. The actual manga effect is "Put one card from your opponent's hand on the field for 3 turns." So it's not random and lets you choose.

God fucking damnit Kaiba
>>152319236
>Life Shaver
Why would Yugi run this card in the first place?
Chapter 255
>>152319274
Possibly started using it after his encounter with Osiris.
It also works as a good fake-out card to make someone reconsider attacking. He might have also intended to make Kaiba (or Marik) discard his God Card with it.

Classic Kaiba.
>>152321085
Actually I think he's referencing BEUD since it has more attack than Obelisk
>>152321201
>It all depends on this draw...
Oh boy here we go again
Chapter 259
Is Yu gi oh manga the most underrated shonen? It never gets a mention among the greats of the 90s.
this volume ends with Kaiba getting BTFO right?
>>152321363
YGO was basically the SAO of the 90's and early '00s in that it was cool to shit on it. Except SAO was actually bad.
>>152321493

Man, he looks so fucking angry compared to his millenium world version.

>Dark Magician wasn't destroyed
Bullshit.
>>152321729
He summoned it in defense mode >>152321671
>>152321793
Oh, I missed that. Woops.
And that ends volume 29. Tomorrow we will conclude Kaiba and Yugi's duel in volume 30. The climax of Battle City approaches! Also the rest of Battle City will have top tier scans so that's another thing to look forward to.
>>152321861

Nooooooo

What? Did your 'douchy speeches teleprompter' crapped there, kaiba?
>>152321861
Thanks man
>>152322029
It's a pretty bad card. I don't think Yugi has even used it in Battle City.
>>152322196
>It's a pretty bad card
I mean so are like 2/3's of the monsters in his deck
>>152322996
I wonder if Yugi duels with terrible cards ironically.
>>152323023
Honestly the monsters in regular Yugi's deck were better than Atems.
>>152323117
i honestly think this is what the author was probably after, that the shy "Silent Duelist" Yugi was secretly the strongest duelist.
>>152320640
> upside down pyramid
Oh, so that's this part that the opening Warriors was referencing.
>>152320669
> that flashback was a ruse, Egyptian Seto is actually not an ass at all and respects Atem as his pharaon more than anything
Eh.
>>152324358
Apparently, there was supposed to be a part where Egyptian Seto struck off on his own and became a member of his own faction due to what was going on with Kisara.
But I think executive meddling got in the way, so we never see it.
>>152324508
Not really meddling. Kaz was just on the verge of death and YGO was dropping the SJ rankings so the editors told him to wrap it up quickly.
>>152324508
>executive meddling
If you mean Act of God, sure. Kaz was so sick, he landed in the hospital and ended hopped on drugs.
It's also why Zorc has a dragon penis cannon.
>>152320386
That's it? Man the god vs god battle was much longer in the anime
>>152324508
No it wasn't a ruse. It was Akunadin, his dad who was in control. The same line is also repeated : "you are a naked king"
Akunadin fused with Seto, not realizing Kisara also sacrificed herself to get into Seto's soul and kill Akunadin.
>>152325591
I mean it works out if you put it in that context but Kaz said himself his original plan was to make Seto oppose Atem of his own will.
>>152325578
it was handled better indeed. There was much more suspense and back and forth attack point drop/change with Yugi using Necromancy for example and pulling a heart of the card with Card of sanctity.
>>152325847
definitely should have been that way, in the anime Seto faces Yugi before fighting Zork and was half convinced that his dad is correct, which is probably closer to what Kaz envisioned.
>>152325847
Which would fit much more since it'd be just like the early Kaiba/Yugi rivarly.
>>152322996
Not his Battle City deck. The magnet warriors were pretty good at the time, and the knights are tribute fodder. Gazelle and Beformet are for fusion, and Gardna is an amazing wall in the manga. Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl are awesome in the manga due to their support.
>>152325872
Yeah, this part of the duel was pretty disappointing. Manga version of Marik vs Yugi is much better though
>>152325847
I honestly blame the fans who were reading at the time. Self-entitled shits just wanted card games and when they didn't get any they gave it bad ratings. If it was still doing well Jump would've just let Kaz take a break when he was sick just like they let Togashi do all the time.
>>152327028
I bet Kaz's editor was swimming in money
>>152327028
You mad? YGO is about cards. Keep non card shit out of it
>>152318041
Wow Anzu that's cold
>>152318110
Yes thank god Jounouchi dying didn't ruin anything.
>>152322996
His deck was pretty swell by manga standard. The knight combo with soul rope give him 3 card to summon god quickly (as well as Arcana Knight Joker, a decent boss in R). Same as magnet warrior, decent-ish beater, combine into a 3500 beater that can serve as 3 tributes for god.
Gazelle/Beformet fusion is a 2100 beater that you can bring out in one turn, and you can sacrifice it for a Dark Magician/Buster Blader

Damn Yugi, you're hardcore
>>152331084
If Atem had sex with Anzu, would Yugi feel it? Would he be heartbroken Atem took his crush? Or would he be happy using Atem to get laid just like he uses Atem to win card games?
>>152318812
But you're an awful duelist.
>>152330621
>I didn't read any of the early volumes
>>152333312
If Anzu got preggers by complete accident, who would be the father, Yugi or Atem?
>>152333874
You as well
>>152337823
That's true, but I could beat Malik any day.
>>152335725
I don't think Atem is legally a person.
>>152321623
>>152321671
>Dark Magician has to attack Obelisk!
lol wut, he simply could just have continue and fuck Lord of Dragons
>>152338003
Replays don't exist in the manga. If a new monster is summoned it becomes the new attack target.
>>152334307
Can you blame him? 99% of us fans were introduced to YGO until after Kaz turned it into a real life game and a business, so the overall concept of the manga is lost on most of us. I'll see what the movie has in store, reading the Transcend manga I really like the idea of Sword Art Online x Yu-Gi-Oh.
>>152318298
>>152318258
They all are calling Kaiba's name.
>>152318507
>>152318540
Motherfucker this is getting hype.
>>152321437
>Kaiba reaching this hard
I could swear they toned down his skepticism in the anime.
>>152318697

>>152319740

Is he shitting on his own god card?
>>152320302
>Pot of greed
This motherfucker.
>>152339055
Original Japan more or less has it the same. English Dub is actually worse.
Kaiba half-believes inwardly. His outward reactions are- to be quite honest- expected, much the same way he can't stop being a dick. The reason is he's got too many fucking years of the prior miseries of his upbringing pulling against what amounts to a series of small tugs from the opposing perspective.
Believe that other people are largely shits who try to take advantage of you for fifteen-plus years and see how long it takes before you try to embrace the concept of true friendship.
>>152324508
The event in the Shadow RPG were altered from the start due to interfearance from the evil spirit in the millennium ring, Shadi, Atem and Yugi's friends. It was never going to play out exactly the same.
>>152320669
>diaha
This has to be bullshit.
>>152320712
Also Kaiba's dragon boner is 3000 years old.
>>152320982
Kaiba's love for his dragon is inmense.
>>152318540

>>152321250
>>152321296
I know it's simbolic and shit but couldn't he revive a god card?
>>152321861
Thanks anon, this is getting really good.
>>152339948
Gods can only brought back for one turn and has summoning sickness, except Ra, as shown here >>152321623
>>152339678
>>diaha
>This has to be bullshit.
Perhaps but that's like that in the original version too.
>>152339055
Actually, in the English dub he was even more skeptical than he is here. By a significantly larger degree.
>>152340620
What is bullshit about Diaha?
>>152341250
We don't know if the word diaha exists in Ancient Egyptian but it is used in this panel in the original version. Viz kept it as is.
