Why did he played that card ?

>>154784539
I watched this show when I was 12, idk sorry

>>154784539
He'd have no longer a reason to live if he'd have lost in a children's card game.

>>154784539
And if Rafael dueled him again using the seal? Better to permanently take out a strong opponent. Heck, Rafael's straight up stronger than him, Atem only won the second time because of Hermos and the former throwing the match.

>>154784634

Still better to lose his title than his soul.

>>154784689
That title means everything to him.

>>154784634

Abridged serie is shit. This joke was fun for the first two episodes, not for the 60.

What's with all the YGO threads lately? Is this shit getting popular again? There's at least a couple every single day.

>>154785821
Existing series is ending, new series starting up next month, and the new movie got dubbed in Jan and is currently being subbed.

There were also story times for all the manga series in the past 3 months so maybe that got new people into it.

Also the new nostalgiabait mobile game is a huge success and brings back loads of people to the franchise.

>>154786990
I believe so.

You cannot apply common sense or the rules of the game to the anime.

lmfao forgot about this shit

Also

duelist kingdom was a mess

>>154784634
As shit as it is, it's basically why he did it though.
The last few episodes have been fine though.

duelist kingdom came out before they made rules for the game thats how they got away with shit like that and this

Also the card game finally just released a new banlist it desperately needed and the whole meta is getting rehauled tied in with the plot of the new show. "Link summoning" mang.

>>154784539

You know I saw his hand, and he actually did have a way to play a sequence of cards to help him win the duel and not play it.

I'll have to show it cuz it's pretty funny when I look back on it.

It was all for plots and lols how he cards aren't the same when printed.

>>154788238
its more like, the card does what i want because if it had an actual release, it'd be toned as fuck down

>>154789816
>Le invisible gun meme dub xDD

>>154784539
It's a filler arc, it's best not to think about it

What do people think of the redub?

>>154790821
There's a redub? Do you mean the 4kids uncut version?

>>154790629
More like the card does whatever the plot needs it to do.

>Endless copies with Kuriboh
>2 copies(3 total) with Metal Devil Token
>9 copies(10 total) with Necro Mannequin

>>154786534
Zexal storytime when!??!

>>154788238

Blue Eyes melted because of a monster kek.

>>154784539
Don't waste too much time on season 4. It was clearly written by some guy who didn't know anything and didn't give a fuck about Yu-Gi-Oh.

To have Atem "lose himself to his dark side" is an utterly ridiculous concept given that when he first appeared he was like an ancient evil demon spirit who liked murdering people. That's not the description of a guy who loses himself to darkness. That's the description of a guy you want to keep AWAY from darkness, because if you let him have darkness, he is going to MURDER you. It's his home field!

>>154790948
No, completely different VAs, was on dailymotion a few months ago but I didn't save a link.

>>154792177
Oh, there was a Singaporean dub uploaded on there but the voices were ehhh. Kept the original music though so that was nice. I think most of the videos have been taken down but I've been looking from them myself.

>>154785821
Yu-Gi-Oh is just that good of a series from both points of view. From a commercial point of view, it's extremely merchandise-able with the cards, and from a wholesome story telling point of view, duels are a perfect vehicle for drama, badassery, and emotion. Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters, specifically, is on a whole other level too, because it combines the duel with some of the tastiest lore ever.

>>154788238
Shit like that sucked, but it stopped after the first season. The duels get much, much better.

>>154792467
Not the Singapore dub.

OREIKARUKOSU NO KEKKAI!!!!

>>154789816
Because dubs suck. There is a fundamental problem with making writers and VAs sync their lines to lip flaps versus letting them actually write or act. On top of that, casting and music are dirt cheap and suck.

>>154784539
Because Doma arc was written by idiots that didn't understand the character progression. It's basically staff-made fanfiction, not shit that Kaz wrote.

>>154793099
Because taking the card that outright refused to be used by Kaiba and turning it into the soul of his ancient waifu is such amazing writing.

will no one comment the fact that he fused his mammoth with a FUCKING SPELL CARD?

>>154793869
That's not what he did. He used the arrow card so that he could use Kaiba's monster for fusion, since fusion normally only allows monsters on your side to be used.

that still probably breaks the rules, but whatever.

>>154794303
HE THREW THE MAMMOTH INSIDE THE FUCKING DRAGON

>>154793084
So... does this mean that Bandit Keith's duel with Yugi in the beginning of season 2 wasn't in the manga?

>>154794888
No, instead Duke steals Yugi's puzzle because his father got disfigured after losing against Yugi's grandpa in the past. It's better than what the anime did.

>"I summon this monster and use its effect to search for this monster which allows me to summon this monster and syncro summon them to this monster, sacrifice it to summon these 2 monsters, and also I can play the syncro monster from the graveyard for free during my end phase!" all in turn 1

yeah no. Once YGO got consistent rules, it turned to shit. It was much better as a bullshitting game.

>>154793084
Hold on a minute, does this means that 4kids have been doing it right all along?

>>154795938
>when the bullshitting game actually was less bullshitting than the """consistent""" game because there was no unanswerable endless chain effect OTK

really makes you think desu

>>154796386
It's a shit game, what is there to think about? In its deliberate attempt to keep appealing to young children by adding new card types every season, it's become a game where you either summon the most OP thing you can on turn 1 or you lose trying.

>>154795938
I was just talking about Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters and not the other Yu-Gi-Oh shows.

>>154796450
figure of speech

>>154795229
No, it's actually not.
Yami literally tries to go through with it, not taking shit from kaiba, and yugi stops him.
He even gets a whole monologue about yugioh showing him strength of kindness and all that jazz after that. Im pretty sure if it'd be up to him he'd have murdered kaiba in cold blood there.

>>154793278
Kaiba was going to be a one shot character at the time. He got so popular from those early chapters that he became a series regular and because he was so obsessed with Blue-Eyes, Kaz decided to make Blue-Eyes have a legit connection to him.

>>154784539
Because Doma is shit. It's a shit filler. It's a shit filler, and because Yoshida wrote it future yugioh series took more from it than they did from the rest of DM.

>>154796450
With the amount of removals in the game, helmeting behind a boss monster turn 1 is retarded. Boss monsters aren't even played anymore aside from for-fun decks
