but it was also incredibly bright and kind when i thought about it more beyond the main method conflict.

and it still kept those early elements even when the primary form of battle conflict became centered around the card games. that was fascinating to me and i just had to see it for myself and that's how my mom became a paying customer of 'jump street' (her words, not mine). for art purposes, not like krillin from dbz.

also neither of them had a nose at the beginning. also dark yugi started off as an evil spirit with no more morals who set people on fire before he became nicer due to yugi's influence. it started off with horror elements and was included multiple games, whether that was gambling with the high school bully, explosive ice air hockey with the rival upperclass man, and eventually, before we head into duelist kingdom, dungeons and dragons. So i learned about how yugioh originally wasn't a pure card game manga. when you're a kid on the internet in the 00s and love anime and live on censored anime dubs, you fall into a hole of what's happening in the original work AND THEN you learn about the differences between the anime adaptation and original manga. When shonen jump magazine was announced to get released in america in november 2002, i begged my mom to get a subscription and the main reason was due to yugioh, which was one of the lead titles. It was a glorious moment, and possibly the best part of the entire series.I'm very upset about takahashi's passing so here's a story time of what i was thinking as i re-read this for the 100th time: That is what I had been waiting for: someone with their priorities straight. He walks through a battlefield (beautiful panel, btw), forcefully shoves Bakura away, and retrieves his father. He doesn't call monsters or yell at people or make threats. When ancient Bakura desecrates the tomb of Pharaoh's father, the new pharaoh doesn't join the duel. Here, cut my deck.' *Decks the villain instead*I know Jonouchi defended Mai in her duel against Marik and interrupted the duel and whatever, but I haven't been satisfied. If someone is threatening the life of someone dear to me, dueling with cards is not what comes to mind. One beef I've always had with the premise of dueling is the stakes. My most favorite scene is at the very end of this book. My favorite line was him promising to wear 'denim overalls' if he ever lost a game. He's an interesting side character, and I was pleased to see that he was adventurous in his youth. I particularly liked Grandpa Motou's backstory. I loved the revelations and explanations.

This was one of the best books of the entire Yu-Gi-Oh franchise! I loved the plot.
