After not using tumblr for 6 years, I came back as an artist.

I don't know how active I'm gonna be, but for now slowly upload some artworks...

Thank you for everything.

rip kazuki takahashi 🕊

i can’t stop thinking about that video of kazuki takahashi giving a tour of his house and how it was just covered in yugioh merch. man even bought bootleg merch. takahashi truly cared about what he created, truly loved the direction the series took. he helped design the characters for gx and 5ds. again, it cannot be understated the impact this man had on so many childhoods. his legacy lives on.

“Man decays, his corpse is dust. All his kin have perished; But a book makes him remembered through the mouth of its reciter.” - The Immortality of Writers (Papyrus Chester Beatty IV)

Thank you for everything, Kazuki Takahashi ☆

Yu-Gi-Oh! manga creator Kazuki Takahashi (real name Kazuo Takahashi) has passed away at age 60 due to an apparent diving accident.

The Coast Guard reportedly found Takahashi equipped with snorkeling gear. Both the Coast Guard and police are currently investigating the events that led up to Takahashi’s death. A person on a passing boat had called Japan’s maritime hotline to report an apparent body, floating 300 meters (about 1,000 feet) from the coast off the resort city of Nago, at about 10:30 a.m. on July 6, 2022.

Takahashi’s Yu-Gi-Oh! manga launched an international hit franchise that continues to this day with card games, anime, toys, and newer manga series. Takahashi won Comic-Con International’s Inkpot Award in July 2015. The award recognizes individuals for outstanding contributions to comics, science fiction and fantasy, film, television, animation, and fandom.

Rest in Peace Kazuki Takahashi. YGO is a big part of my life for i don't know, about 18 years already and it made a big impact on me as a person and artist. Thank you for my childhood and making my life a little bit better.

I like a buzzcut jou

Professional Aster is in Duel Links now!

Dr. Crowler: Aster! Just who I wanted to see! I have an exceptional favor to ask. I have students eager to join the pro ranks, and I was hoping you’d give them some career advice. Aster: …………Pass, Dr. Crowler. I may be a pro Duelist, but I’m no teacher. Advising students isn’t my thing. Besides, I already did you an exceptional favor, remember? Dr. Crowler: Umm, yes…But you see– Aster: Look, I know teachers want their students to be successful. But a student won’t win in the pro leagues because I give them a few words of inspiration. The true winners motivate themselves. …But you know…How about instead of chattin’, I’ll give them a real taste of what the pro leagues are like! By Dueling your students with my new Deck!

Aster: Bring it on! No holding back! (wins) If you don’t trust your own Dueling, then you’re no Duelist! (loses) I’ll pay you back for this in the pro leagues!

Next was a new team of Mokuba and Tea, then the returning team of Ishizu and Odion, a new team of Yugi and Tristan, and finally the returning team of Yami Yugi and Joey!

Mokuba: Hey, Tea! Don’t you drag me down! Tea: I know I know, Mokuba. (they lose) Mokuba: Argh! I wouldn’t have lost if Seto was my partner! Tea: it’s not fair to compare me with Kaiba.

Tristan: I hope I don’t let you down, Yugi! Yugi: You won’t! Just remember to have fun, Tristan! (they lose) Tristan: Aww man…I couldn’t win even with Yugi as my partner… Yugi: Don’t get down on yourself. I made a few mistakes too. But I won’t next time!

Mai: Yeah! We won! We won the tournament! By the way, did you understand my hint? What can’t be seen but can always be felt? It’s friendship. In a Tag Duel, you’re not fighting alone. You count on your teammate to make up for your weaknesses. Meaning you have to admit that you have weaknesses to begin with. And that takes courage! So in a Tag Duel, your teamwork isn’t the only thing being tested. Your courage is too! You have to admit–pretty good speech, right? But I didn’t come up with it. I learned it from someone else. From a friend. Now let’s celebrate our victory!

Next in the 5Ds Cup was a new team of Akiza and Carly, and another new team of Crow and Leo! The finals were the returning team of Jack Atlas and Tetsu trudge.

Carly: Carly Carmine here with an undercover investigation on Akiza Izinski of Team 5Ds! Akiza: …Carly, you’re not investigating me. You’re my tag partner. Carly: Oopsie! That’s right! (they lose) Carly: Noooooo! Sorry I let you down, Akiza! Akiza: This is a Tag Duel, so no one person is to blame. Let’s just win next time!

Crow: Sorry, Leo. Since I’m your partner, you may not see any action. Leo: Don’t be like that, Crow! I wanna Duel too! So play your B game instead of your A Game! (they lose) Crow: Ahhhh! Sorry, Leo. That was some lame Dueling by me. Leo: That goes for me too. I gotta get stronger.

Next was the returning team of Bastion and Logan, then another returning team of Tyranno Hassleberry and Dr. Crowler. Then a new team of Alexis and Blair!

Blair: Don’t underestimate us just because we’re a pair of girls! Alexis: I don’t think they’d do that. But if they do, they’re in for a reckoning! (they win) Alexis: Did you expect us girls to wink and throw you kisses? Blair: Huh? But isn’t that your go-to move to steal my prince from me? Alexis: …Did you say something, Blair? Blair: No. (they lose) Blair: We lost, but that sure was fun! Right, Alexis? Alexis: Yeah! I can’t wait to Duel you again. And next time, we won’t lose!

So if there are minor characters from season 1 in Duel Links, why can’t I have at least one of mai bois from season 4: Valon, Alister, Rafael, and/or Dartz?

Konami this line contains too much power!!!
