Lucky charm(?)
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.
I still think it would be funny actually if Yami Malik named himself Ra after coming back or something like ah yes it is I, Ra Ishtar, in the flesh
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:
can count his scars like stars in the big dipper (based on a Seinfeld bit)
TKB is bad because the ideal TKB story no member of the nobility even shows up.
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
Angst #1 with Tendershipping ♥ -Pyro Sea
uh, hey @millenniumringg, you don't mind if I uhhhhh fuckinnnnn write a prologue to your Angstshipping fic, Cornered, in which Bakura is a serial killer and Ryou and Malik are investigators who fall in love with each other while Bakura has an obsession with Ryou that ruins their lives, right? Right? you wouldn't mind that right?
I hope not cuz uuuhhh, I wrote it.
Angst 1 - No, I don’t want to say goodbye. Not now.”

The body will be found tomorrow, of course. At such a time and place that his hospital will be too enthralled with work to look.
Bakura only did that because he hoped mariks girlboss energy would rub off on him

Oh I forgot you’re having login troubles, my bad! I won’t spoil anything but it made me snort so I’m excited for you to see it!
MDKFKGKGGK OH MAN now I’m also excited for me to see it, this is such a lovely thing to look forward to Anon, I love when Ryou makes me snort 😂💕💕
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!
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
i have no clue what you look like, but I've always imagined it bakura in a long coat + the top hat in your icon
yeah sure I can live with this
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?
