WHY. THE. FUCK. WAS. THIS. MANGA......
SOOOO FUCKING DAAAAAAARRRKK!!!!?????!?!?!?!?!?!?
>>162055333
Like WWWWHHHHHHHHYYYYY??!?!?!
>>162055347
>Yugi almost die in a fire
>that same day he decided to use a chain for his puzzle
what a lucky day
>>162055333
Back when it wasn't about a children's card game
>>162055333
Why did Atem suddenly decide to be nice after killing all those people?
>>162055656
No clue
>>162055333
it was conceived of as a high stakes gambling manga with an occult spin
Weekend /a/, when no one tells OP to fuck off for typing like a 3 year old with mental issues.
>>162055333
Didn't Marik skin his father to death in the manga?
>>162055530
REMEMBER WHEN THAT HAPPENED?
Yugi regret making that decision when this happened
It was basically kaiji for kids
>>162055656
You can't easily market a children's card game for a manga/anime if one of the MCs is a ruthless killer.
>>162055656
Genre shift for marketability. A lot of the more popular shonen always end up being very different from what the first issues established.
>>162055911
How is atem a ruthless killer though? Animefag here?
>>162055656
Because Kaz wanted something Dark but shonen jump wanted something for kids
>>162056012
He sets a guy on fire using alcohol and makes another explode over a game of ice hockey
>>162055859
>that time Kaiba beat ISIS
>>162055656
In-universe reason is he adopt the modern world and Yugi's value and morality after spending most time in his body which replace his old ancient Egyptian (eye-for-eye) morality.
>>162056039
>>162056358
can you imagine Millenium world with Atem's old fashion bloodthirsty way of justice? All that killing going on and when thief Bakura comes to reveal the truth behind the sennen items Atem will say "Yes, and?"
>>162056478
Kaiba wouldn't be a main character, so I'm against it.
>>162056039
Surely there was something special about the ice hockey game right?
>>162056604
the block of ice had a chemical that explode with heat, the table was one giant grill so they had to avoid the ice melting causing the liquid to blow their faces. Of course the bad guy was real strong so Atem only hit it in the middle with the spatula causing the ice split in two when the other guy hit it causing the liquid to explode at his face
Why doesn't kaz try writing a horror manga now? All he does is supervise yugioh now anyway.
>>162056648
I see, what about the burned guy?
I heard that the shadow realm doesn't even exist in the manga. Whoever lost just straight up died.
>>162056742
Welp, just read a wikia. Shadow realm only existed in 4kids dub.
Created a legacy.
>>162056711who cares
>>162055347
I read that in the abridged marik's voice. Died laughing.
>>162056742
Shadow realm is a meme, read the manga. Is you staying alive or you die, no in-between.
>>162056742
Yes, every single mention of shadow realm can be translated to" if you lose you die" or "I'm going to kill you", honorable mention to the blue sawblades that sent you to the shadow realm
>>162056711
He was an escaped criminal who 1. took Anzu hostage and 2. asked for high proof vodka and a cigar as part of his negotiation.
Yugi challenged him to a game where they could only move one finger, while he was pouring. Yugi chose his thumb, while the guy chose his trigger finger (he had a gun pointed at Yugi). Yugi used his thumb to light the guy's cigar, then placed it on the back of the guy's pouring hand. Guy goes "O shit if I shoot him. it'll knock the lighter off my hand. OH FUCK IT." and fired. Yugi dodged and grabbed Anzu, while dude got lit the fuck on fire due to the alchohol.
>>162056825
used his thumb to light the guy's cigar *with a lighter
>>162056742
shadow realm was just a 4kids way to tell kids meanies get a slap on their wrists for doing naughty things. The manga was a penalty game which the loser loses their shit as a punishment for cheating or having a tainted soul. Atem was harsh but in a way was justified because he was karma incarnate
>>162056648
>>162056825
Whelp, he did nothing wrong then
>>162056876
Criminals are dumb to the very end.
>>162056865
checked
>>162056916
A fucking 5 in a YGO thread?
At least celebrate a double, anon.
>>162056916
Nigga, dubs or up, unless he is rolling for a five, now check out thiszero
>>162057011
Great dubs, Atem salutes you.
>>162057041
>all that QUALITY in the last season
im surprised they finish it with the second best quality
>>162057082
Kaz was having an hernia, what did you expect? Zork's penis being a character was the best he could do in a hospital.
>>162055333
you just realized this? Atem straight up murders people at the beginning of the series. Hi gives out penalties like Oprah and even though most of them are justified it's insane thinking how many people he bagged using Yugi's body. Luckily the police are nonexistent in Domino City and no one gives a fuck to the criminals who dies. He started softening up after the duel where Kaiba threatens to suicide if he lose and after Pegasus told him the story of the millennium eye. The manga even said that Atem decided to not penalty Pegasus since he realized that hes not even Yugi at all, just a soul in the Puzzle. It's a shame the 4kids society butchered the gory aspect of the series and since GX it's been shadow realm meme all the way.
I dropped this after marik vs bakura, not because of the fight, it was great, and the Spanish dub was really "unique" to say the least, but because of the godawful virtual shit after it, should I keep going?
>>162057116
i meant the anime, the manga was fine
>>162057153
the first YGO series is a masterpiece. You should finish it, after that (GX etc) it's just card games commercials.
>>162057183
Is this bait?
>>162057174
Fuck TV Tokyo and NAS, why couldn't they adapt it from Kaiba's and Yugi's first duel?
>>162057231
>creative, original premise
>character development
>art progression
>great world-building
>GOAT finale
What's not to love? Unless you're just baiting of course.
Yugi put Kaiba in coma for months with MIND CRUSH too.
>>162057337
The coma was fine, it fixed Kaiba's character without any screen-time.
>>162057231
tell me another card game show that surpassed the creativity of the dueling disk
>>162057320
>>162057396
Many arcs from the following series like 5Ds are superior in every way.
>>162057153
>tfw saw this series up until this part in Latin dub
>got aware of the censor
>can't force myself to hear jap bakura voice
Latin dub bakura is pure evil, possessed Marik is special as well, and the battle between them was one of the best in the series
How did Pegasus wake up earlier than Kaiba from his "shadow realm" punishment?
>>162057544
rica matsumoto's a great VA though. like if you can get past the super evil dude being voiced by a girl thing
>>162055347
>Marik gets away with all the horrible shit he did because later a slightly more evil split personality shows up even though Marik himself was already pretty evil
>>162056825
Couldn't the guy have just blown the lighter out?
>>162059074
The lighter would have fallen off when he tried, and FWOOSH same result. Plus, he REEEAAAALLY wanted to shoot Yugi.
>>162059074
>>162059175
Here's a visual of the circumstance the dude was in after Yugi put the lighter down
Oh hey. A picture relevant to this thread.
>>162056039
>>162055656
>>162057144
>Yugi is the ruthless killer
>meanwhile Mokuba poisoned Joey because he lost to a children's chess game
>and Seto Kaiba gave an old man a heart attack, almost electrocuted Yugi & co twice, cut their hands with guillotine, made Joey fought a serial killer, and almost flatten Tristan in a human tetris just because he lost to a fucking card game
>>162055333
Stop typing like a retard.
You guys bring up the lighter and hockey dudes but I still think this guy got it the worst
>>162056825
He didn't dodge shit, the guy lit himself on fire with his cigarette.
>>162055333
Anyone wish Yugioh never got a card game so that the author never felt pressured to change his original version of Yugioh?
He has been on record, stating that he would have included more romance like possibly Kaiba and Blue Eyes White Dragon Girl in the story if card games were less of a focus.
>>162057183
Yugioh has even more blueballing shit after the first series.
The scriptwriters are all cucks.
All OTPs got fucked over super hard in every Yugioh Series.
There has never been a positive final episode thread for every Yugioh series on /a/.
The writers go out of their way to destroy all ships.
Like even Pokemon managed to get Ash kissing with a girl and Ash is supposed to be 10 years old.
Meanwhile, there are teenagers and adults in the Yugioh series that remain kissless virgins.
>>162055716
No? It was a battle manga with a gimmick.
>>162058953
Pretty sure that's the split personality in it's infant stages.
>>162055656
Season 0 Yami was truly the best
He didn't kill everyone though, in fact he just broke the minds of most people except that guy who got burned alive.
>>162060065
It was a game manga
Yu-Gi-Oh literally means "King of Games"
>>162055827
tbf his father carved marik's back
>>162055656
he re-evaluted his morals when Yugi stopped him from killing Kaiba, since he couldn't risk his relationship with his host
>>162055883
Isn't Kaiji just one long ass Mahjong game?
>>162056825
Pretty sure he didn't shoot shit
Yami just went out with Anzu and the criminal didn't break the rules at all but the cigarette slipped off of hismouth
>>162060263
>>162059878
Eh, it's been like half a decade since I last read the chapter
Brought a fucking tear to my eye. Kaz you magnificent bastard.
>>162057082
>those ugly ass old scans
just grab the clean digital VIZ scans from Madokami ffs
>>162057183
>the first YGO series is a masterpiece.
I hope by this you mean the Toei series(season 0) and not Duel Monsters
>>162057529
5Ds was dogshit for retarded millennials like you
>>162057544
If there's anything that compete in obnoxiousness with DBZ Burger Toonamifags it's Latinos(mostly mexicans) with their dubs
>>162055656
you should see how did they sacrivice a whole village to creates millenium items
>>162059859
It just really depends of how long it lasts for him.
At worst, the curse probably ends with the end of the series, when the puzzle along with the rest disappears.
>>162059553
You forget that Kaiba let Mokuba to be electrocuted or whatever if it weren't for Yami saving him in the Death-T arc
>>162059859
Ushio also got fucked big time in the first chapter
>>162059553
Yeah, early Kaiba was the worst, but just to say early Atem was early a nice guy.
>>162060471
> Kaiba let Mokuba to be electrocuted
No, he gave him the same experience as Yugi's grandpa with the monsters surrounding him. Seems like the experience is so realistic and frightening it might as well have given him PTSD if Yugi took any longer to help him.
>>162060471
>>162060509
>>162055656
Seems like early Atem was being influenced by the evil inside the puzzle, while when he was a pharaoh he was a decent guy. After beginning living with Yugi and understanding the truth from Pegasus about the items, he got better. Makes sense actually.
>>162060499
Not really, the game they played was dangerous as hell, but he had it fine. in the manga he just began hallucinating and thinking leafs were money.
>>162055656
When exactly did he turn nice? When Kaiba threatened to kill himself over losing Atem was totally going for it.
>>162060198
no
that's Akagi
>>162060577
>>162060508
>No, he gave him the same experience as Yugi's grandpa with the monsters surrounding him.
That's what I was referring to but I couldn't remember what the punishment exactly was. What a ruthless fuck Kaiba was.
>>162060509
What is this? A scan for ants?Sorry, viz scan not fan scan...too lazy to find an hq version of the fan scan
>>162060600
> fucking Kaiba was doing all that shit in front of a large amount of kids, seeing the scene and hearing what he was telling to Mokuba
>>162060568
I'm talking about the manga. Yami punished him to only see money. Pretty creepy if you ask me.
>>162060596
>same author
I can see why I got confused
>>162060669
It's really all about the length of the punishment, and if there is any post side effect, like if the brain fried or anything.
Reminder that Anzu was a hot piece of ass
>>162060751
with a big dick.
>>162060810
>implying that's a bad thing
>>162060832
> implying I implied that
crossover when?
>>162059286
he looked happy
>>162058766
Not to mention she is or was a great part of the band JAM Project. I love Rica.
>>162062570
> Takahashi draws a dynamic pose of Hellboy as a duelist with an original designed dueldisk
> Magnola just draws a boring undetailed front shot of Hellboy with the puzzle. Oh, but there is a short with the copied face of Atem, amazing.
What a lazy ass. Takahashi deserved better.
>>162059999
To be fair, one of those girls was secretly a dragon and in the latter case it was a series where he was written and drawn like an older teenager in everything but name.
Can you really imagine Yugi and Anzu hooking up when Yugi could play games with Kaiba in literal outer space insetead? Like I always got the sense he just wanted to smash that but his true love would always be playing and designing games
>>162063451
Yeah she's got a powerful fucking voice. Jesus. As far as the trend of women voicing guys as a sign of their childlike purity goes, I think she pulls it off the most convincingly.
>>162063545
true. Still, least the puzzle looks kind of cool
>>162062570
i remember seeing this page in an issue of jump i got from a blockbuster as a kid and wondering why the fuck the one on the left was so lazy
>>162055333
I remember there was a kid who was a school bully. All he was doing was unfair bets and taking other kids toys.
So Yugi destroys his soul and turns him into a vegetable.
>>162059999
>There has never been a positive final episode thread for every Yugioh series on /a/.
DM's final episode is good though
Though, if you mean "since /a/'s existed", the very few people who saw GX's ending at the time seemed to like it
>>162064482
>no eternal punishment
That's downright merciful.
>>162059286
This manga was way too dark. They were literally just playing a game over who gets to use a part of the School ground and the guy gets his head blown off.
>>162060751
Anzu and Aki are the only main girls worth any kind of a shit in this franchise
It's basically proto death note with people playing mind games to dish out their brand of justice.
>>162055333
>there are people who think Wixoss is darker
>>162064529
There are people in the series who try to straight up murder Yugi/Joey and just end up getting punched once or get stung by a scorpion and go to the hospital.
But this one bully kid who is just cheating to scam people and take their toys gets killed. Went and reread the chapter and it didn't destroy his soul it just made damage from the game affect him. With how Yugi won someone would have found that kid's corpse with a foot wide hole through his chest in the school shortly after.
>>162064600
I only like DSOD Anzu and pre-DM Anzu
>>162058766
>Rica
Tell me, she has a song for the series right
>>162059859
What happened here?
>>162066929
TV show producer. He trespassed on Yugi's soul. Got MIND CRUSHED so he only saw mosaic
Would watching the original version subbed be worth it?
>>162060599
Seeing this page with no context is pretty funny
>>162064884
> With how Yugi won someone would have found that kid's corpse with a foot wide hole through his chest in the school shortly after.
The toys thief delinquent survived, we saw him again at battlecity, he was still an asshole and Kaiba mindfucked him with the Obelisk.
>>162065673
It's been a while, but I don't think so. Only Masami Okui, which is close enough.
https://youtu.be/7xzNrzaqFiA
>>162059286
After all these years, I am now realizing those blocks were blown off the table. If they were bricks, the guy died over a space for a school festival.
>I activate my trap card!

>>162055716
Gaming =/= gambling.
>>162055333
>SOOOO FUCKING DAAAAAAARRRKK!!!!?????!?!?!?!?!?!?
Why the fuck is this thread still up?
I have fond memories of watching this with some really shitty yellow subs with incomprehensible english. Probably downloaded off Kazaa or something.
Anyone else? At least it wasn't 4kids dub.
>>162064600
But Ishizu is the best.
>>162064974
Duelist Kingdom Anzu wore that tight skirt though.
>>162055333
old scans did not have the best quality
>>162074694
Because it is. And the question is fairly valid. people who watch 4kids may have never expected a show they watched as a kid was insanely dark originally.
>>162060406
It had the best story in the franchise and you know it
Where is Kaiba exactly on the autistic spectrum?
>>162066929
Watched too much japanese porn
>>162060383
The Toei series is unironically the worst one other than Arc-V.
>>162076499
In the "mai waifu is a dragon" end.
>>162076761
So like full blown Asperger's then.
>>162076492
It was good but not better than OG. Especially after sex cults shenanigans happens.
>>162076499
He's in a good place.
I miss when it was all about high stakes gambling for your life and whatever. Scorpion in the shoe was great.
>>162078105
My favorite is when Yugi electrocutes Hirutami's gang for messing with Bronouchi.
>>162064582
He was in the wrong for using muh tradition as anexcuse to take that portion
>>162060600
Where did you get the viz scans, anon?
>>162077989
I wonder what wou,d be like jap kaiba and 4kids kaibainteracting each other. The two offer different personalities despite being the same person
>>162055608
>Duelist Kingdom
>no card game
typical LittleKuribohfag
>>162076760
I wouldn't say it's bad, you just can't properly compare it to the rest of the franchise, it's too different
>>162055656
Because.
Money. I bet Kazuki is richer than Oda from the shitty card game alone.
Atem didnt kill anyone, retards. The only person who died was that Museum guy Shadi killed, according to the guide book Takahashi put out. Stop lying to make it seem like some edgy manga rather than a shounen jump manga
>>162082980
>Stop lying to make it seem like some edgy manga rather than a shounen jump manga
I think rather than people lying, it's just that things like this --->
>>162059286
look pretty fatal
>>162060596
..which isn't just one long ass mahjong game. The matches in Akagi and Ten can't be reduced to that.
>18 years
I'm gonna marry and have kids with Ishizu!
