Am I the only one who can't watch anime anymore without thinking: But what if person x is Yugi and person y Bakura? Silently replaceing every character with ygo characters and being happy with it.

the millennium items being made specifically as weapons of war and conquest and then atem’s family/the priests just casually use them against their own people afterwards for like, trespassing. once again i think thief king was right.

Yugi: you know the ring hurts you right?

Ryou : yes.

Yugi: so you shouldn’t wear it correct ?

Ryou : correct

Yugi: so get rid of it.

Ryou : no it’s mine

Yugi : *angry confused screeching*

Ryou:

Pouring one out for all the anime-only fans whose version of memory world doesn’t include the scenes where Yami Bakura follows his past self around and gleefully watches him kill people like he’s eating popcorn and watching nostalgic home movies right up until Thief King dies and then he’s like “god you useless piece of shit I can’t believe you let the pharaoh kill you I am embarrassed to have once been you you cringe idiot” because it is both essential YB characterization and also really spot-on about what its like to see photos of yourself from high school

Right? you wouldn't mind that right?

I hope not cuz uuuhhh, I wrote it.

found out an interesting and amusing tidbit about yami marik: apparently he has a 'lisp' of sorts when it comes to the japanese 'sa' line (さしすせそ). think of it as the vowels aeiou but with an 's' in front. it even has a pixiv tag, サ行の呪い (the curse of the 'sa' line), just for him 🤭

basically, it's yami marik slurring his words. 'sa' becomes 'sha', 'so' becomes 'sho', etc. (ぜ 'ze' can become じぇぇ 'je' as well lmao)

iwanaga tetsuya, his jp va, talks about it here. he references his live 'duel' performance with takahashi hiroki (jounouchi) during duel opera 2020.

he caught wind of people mishearing his 'sa' pronunciation but didnt believe it until he watched an episode. then he was like 'oh yeah, it does sound like that huh'.

he explains that this is because 'the character has a lot of hate for the main character to the point that his voice trembles and his accent shakes', so he decided to purposely alter the reading of the script to include the mispronunciations during duel opera.

the word he keeps using as an example is 貴様 (kisama), a very rude way of saying 'you'. iwanaga-san altered the pronunciation to 'kishama' instead.

he then goes on to say that he didnt think itd be a nationwide meme and ends with another one of yami marik's iconic lines from ep 128 (after jounouchi survives ra's attack): ありえない (impossible!).

anyway, Ive always wondered why yami marik sounded more garbled when saying monster reborn (死者蘇生, shisha sosei) compared to the other characters. take a listen!

EVERYONE ELSE: shisha sosei YAMI MARIK: shisha shoshei

it is a bit of a tongue twister for an egyptian...? normal marik says it fine tho. but I guess yami marik is allowed to get away with it. technically hes only six years old. pronunciation isnt advanced yet 🤭

I discovered this information through the sixth pic of this pixiv log. I investigated and found my answer!

translation of the art ↓

YAMI BAKURA: sa! YAMI MARIK: sha! YAMI BAKURA: shi, su, se YAMI MARIK: shi, su, se YAMI BAKURA: so! YAMI MARIK: sho! YAMI BAKURA: you moron!! YAMI MARIK: shcrew you!!

needless to say, this only 'exists' in the anime due to people mishearing it. yami marik has normal speech in the manga.

if you wanna watch the duel opera performance, its here! btw it also includes yami marik reading the next episode preview for ep 128 'jounouchi dies' towards the end. its hilarious!

English Bakura: *deep chuckle* Oh, please, I sincerely doubt you'll be able to defeat me. *insert Shakespearian metaphor here*
Japanese Bakura: You f***ing c*nt I'll kick the mother f***ing sh*t out of you I will send you to hell you little b*tch and you ain't never getting out. *hysterical cackling*

Is it me or Konami is making some kind of fanservise? How am I supposed to understand "Heh heh heh! I still need you so we can do wonderful things together! " not like "I need you, goddammit! "

And what is this "I'll always be a part of you"? Is it a new version of "I'll always be in your heart"?

Yami Bakura is such a maniac a romantic person

Update:

I'm so so sorry

me: do you think ryou bakura's serenity is a coping mechanism? we barely ever see him show strong emotions-- do you think he has difficulty expressing himself? do you think he clamps down on any anger and resentment he feels because he's afraid of being anything like yami bakura? is he afraid of his own anger? himself? that him and YB might not be so different after all?

kazuki takahashi: how did you get in my house
