Worth Keeping by the J. Arthur Keenes Band still unrivaled and unbeaten as number one song to have emotions about the ceremonial duel to
I don’t think past-life Marik/Thief King content is bleak and unhinged enough. if ancient egypt Marik is going to date a genocidal nihilist he can’t just like be a cute normal rich kid. Either he has no idea his boyfriend is a murderous terrorist (and is going to have a horrible revelation when the world starts ending and he realizes who is behind it) or he’s also crazy and down for it. and neither of those is going to end well
Anonymous asked:
listening to your kaiba (what he thinks hes like) playlist, first 10/10 job very good!! second i have discovered i have the exact same music taste as him. is that taste good? remains to be seen
must music be "good." it is not enough to embrace your inner angst teen, and rock t fuck out. (ty glad you liked it. everyone listen to the kaiba cringe mix.)
Oh man I just read a translation of the Yugioh novel (specifically the original story part of it) (link) and it’s bonkers. But in a way that’s mostly in line with the early manga.
Cliff notes version of all the good stuff in there minus the card games:
- Apparently Yugi wins so easily against his friends that he actually rigs his deck to make the battles more difficult
- We get to see some interactions between Yugi and his Grandpa at the game shop. Apparently Grandpa lures Yugi into buying things with his allowance. “Thanks, come again!” “I live here!”
- Yugi got both the Time Wizard and Baby Dragon from a musty old Gen 1 booster pack in the shop’s storage room
- This story is set between Death-T and Duelist Kingdom, and Dark Yugi gets drawn into a duel with Kaiba, which is weird, as he’s supposed to be comatose.
- Sorry did I say “Dark Yugi” I meant “the King of Games”, because that’s how this character is exclusively addressed. Seems like this was written before any of the spirit of the puzzle stuff had come up.
- There’s a neat bit where (regular) Yugi is disappointed that Kaiba doesn’t consider him a rival, and he gets a bit nostalgic for their duel.
- Magic & Wizards has a lot of house rules other than the field mechanic. This duel uses “Bingo”, which lets you call a card in your opponent’s deck and if you’re correct, force them to remove it from play.
- Kaiba’s moved on to a new trump card, the Automatic Giant.
- Or at least it looks like it, but then Mokuba rushes in with the real Kaiba, who’s still catatonic.
- Yeah, that’s right, the Kaiba he’s dueling is actually “Cyber Kaiba” a KaibaCorp supercomputer with a robot body that the board of directors implanted with Kaiba’s memories to manage their international trade holdings while Kaiba is AWOL
- But it just wants to duel because it’s Kaiba
- The King of Games (ugh) wins with the Time Wizard combo, plus a unique card called the Unknown Egg which is actually kind of cool. It’s an urban legend a la Exodia. The gimmick is that its stats are determined by three cards of your choice, but after the creature hatches once the card has to be destroyed forever.
- Dark Yugi gets momentarily sentimental about this.
- Anyway you didn’t think this wasn’t a shadow game, did you? Of course it was. And if you’re wondering what penalty game he can use against a computer…
- The penalty game. Is just. An explosion.
- Kaiba momentarily stirs from his coma to destroy the computer’s memory banks. No imitations accepted.
- Yugi doesn’t see this, but he does have a strange vision of a future duel where he gets to face Kaiba again. This is framed as a positive thing and not one of the most important, doubt-casting, confidence-breaking moments for both of him.
Anyway 10/10, really good fanfic, could have been five pages shorter if they stopped listing the life point count.
The fact that the blue dorms all have giant fancy individual suites is so tragic. (<- wants to imagine Fujiwara-Fubuki-Kaiser annoying roommate nonsense)
Everyone being like "Kaiser's in no state to duel right now! He can't!" is ruining my suspension of disbelief because the main problems with him dueling before were A) Kaiser voluntarily choosing to electrocute himself to the degree that he gave himself a heart condition and B) the alternate dimension's magical "if you die in the card game you die in real life" rules accelerating it. What's the problem exactly with a normal duel in his condition. Duel disks don't hurt that much.
"If Ryo duels now he'll DIE!!!" okay so 1) how. did he jailbreak his duel disk to exclusively use the hidden lethal force setting. not that I'm putting that past him but seems unlikely 2) then chuck the duel disk and get out a card mat. do the analog version. which we know still exists because we've seen it in Shou and Jaden's dorm room a million times. I simply find this drama to be forced and unnecessary

Siendo sincero el Yu-Gi-Oh de Toei ahí me entere de un faraón un poco más despiadado eso si en el manga se muestra poco más explícito a comparación del anime, es una serie disfrutable
Asuka totally whiffed her confession but that's probably for the best since Jaden is 90% probability gay and also already in a soul-marriage with a demonic entity from another dimension who was turned evil by space waves. So she can do better. Still, tragic to see her crumple at the last second available to shoot her shot.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Episode 162: Tyranno Kenzan Did Not Consent To Being In The Middle of Someone Else's Love Triangle, is Terrified by Small Angry Women
GX made an episode where rules required tag duels with girl-boy pairs but apparently did so without remembering that this show has almost no named female characters, and therefore was forced to make up a bunch of new female extras whose character designs we'd never even seen in the background before and make the shopkeeper cafeteria lady one of the duelists. The only thing that could alleviate the sigh this episode makes me emit is if there was a reveal that Tome was actually secretly a cool badass duelist. As soon as I typed this sentence the show immediately made a gag about how she doesn't even know the rules. Sigh.
So if you're into indie tabletop RPGs you may have heard of ICON, a post-post-apocalyptic fantasy RPG by one of the main writers of Lancer, which just released its largest play-testable version yet. Within the world of ICON is an in-universe competitive card game called Kapkat, including a system for upgrading a deck and wagering money or other goods against NPCs. It's a fun little side-skill you can have any of your larger-than-life heroes do in their downtime during their epic magical adventure campaign.
Anyway, they have a handful of card descriptions to give you flavor for what the game is like or extra bonuses. and,
