This. Atem was making up rules as he goes and the duel disk somehow believed his bullshit because he has destiny hax on his side.
Kaiba was 100% justified in his actions.

It'd be jolly good fun to watch what the lunatic does next.

You're just silly, user. All of those are high IQ tactical moves and I'm only being half-sarcastic.

>Despite being millionaire, I still go to regular high school, instead of employing a home teacher!
He doesn't even need to go to school. He's already super genius as a kid. This is obviously an attempt to look normal to the populous.

>I'm going to convert a company that makes guns to one that makes a duel discs!
Unironically the best option anyone has ever done ever. Kaiba has sold more world-saving/world destroying products in his short time as president than his adopted Father ever sold on guns.
As a businessman Kaiba was better than his father, as a war profiteer he was a better businessman than his father.
The guy who profits off dueling in a series about dueling is the smartest motherfucker in the series.

>I'm going to waste a million in order to build a plane that looks like my Blue-Eyes-White-Dragon!
He has "Fuck you" money. So much so that he can buy out an entire city. BUY OUT AN ENTIRE CITY.

>Shareholders don't think I'm capable CEO... I'LL SHOW THEM! By arranging most expensive card game tournament and by building a card game school on a distant island!
And he did show them. He showed them real good. That Card game school was the YGO version of Military Camps and his creation of DA encouraged other people to build theirs.

kaiba literally built a machine to temporarily kill himself so he could duel his dead rival. there is literally no other character that comes close to his level of autism.

People say I remind them of this character quite a bit. Is that a good or bad thing? How easy is this series to watch?

how can you claim to be human if you've never watched yugioh?

it's bad, all card game anime are bad (except maybe Card Captor Sakura), just watch Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged, saves you time and provides you with quality entertainment

You mean the same corp that is in literal control of a whole city? Whoever invested in those shares back when the game was still obscure must be filthy rich by now

really? you want your proposal to be unique, but there's a limit where it becomes too autistic

Are Kaiba corp even have share holder? Wasn't the big 5 shareholder got killed in a video game.

It was cringeworthy as hell, they broke up anyway because the girl literally refused to have sex with him (kek)

Yami never actually lost.

He "lost" against Kaiba. Actually, Yugi took back control over his body and gave up. Not Yami's loss.

He "lost" against Raphael. Not canon.

He "lost" against Yugi. Actually, he wanted this to happen, meaning he won.

>>I'm going to waste a million in order to build a plane that looks like my Blue-Eyes-White-Dragon!

Try "billion" just for the research and development to make even a prototype of that thing. Although yes the actual unit cost is probably closer to a million.

Huh? I unironically thought Littlekuriboh is homosexual. Not even memeing.

Has there ever been a rival as good as Kaiba?

Some of the old Abridged episodes don't hold up as well as they use to, but last season was hilarious. It helps when the source material is even more ridiculous than usual. I finished the Waking the Dragon arc not too long ago. Good God, there's so much in there that doesn't make sense.

Both Chazz and Jack surpassed Kaiba in many ways. They might not be absurd like him but they are better characters.

During the revenge/death game arc from the original manga, Kaiba's first salty runback. Tristan almost died.

>Then 5D happens

I think what makes Kaiba so great as a rival is basically that he's never a jobber. His winrate is actually quite good and he defeats his own fair share of credible threats and looks awesome while doing it. Another thing is that he drives the plot in significant ways, he's never just "there" for no reason like Vegeta is.

Kaiba is extremely consistent and has a clear philosophy and ideology. Chazz is a subversion of Kaiba and Jack tries too fucking hard to be Kaiba but cooler and then sex cults fucked the show up.

The beauty of Kaiba's ideology is that while it clashes with Yugis sometimes, it doesn't ALWAYS and it's only sometimes presented as "wrong" in specific situations, while there are other situations where he is clearly a visionary in the positive sense, who wants good things for the world and makes them a reality.

How come Kaiba wasn't allowed to declare an attack after using Monster Reborn but Yugi was allowed to fuse a monster with a magic card and multiply his Kuriboh by a hundred?

When a fantasy world is made they always add some kind of magic elements or one race is just really good at one thing
You need to suspend your disbelief when the question comes along "why don't they use the magic to actually influence society"
Think why they never used Jutsu to rebuild the Leaf village in Naruto
Or why dwarves are never the most powerful race despite being really good at making weapons

Well Kaiba is the guy who abuses magic to literally change the course of history

It's better than that. The ending implies that he casually kills HIMSELF to duel the pharaoh once last time. If it weren't for Takagashi tweeting this epilogue image, there's nothing to suggest that his "visit the afterlife" machine was able to pull him back from the other side.

He also has his Red Eyes afterward in the anime. Granted, all those duels after Battle City were filler, but it operates on the belief that Joey wins back his Red Eyes from Yugi.

Pegasus is a very lucky guy that Kaiba is his business partner.

SEX CULTS

BAD WRITERS

BLACKWINGS

his love interest is the blue eyes white dragon user

What a sad thing how the manjoume san da joke was utterly destroyed in the dub

Still sends chills down my spine.

He convinced himself that he outsmarted Yugi. Kaiba just discards any bit of information that doesn't align with how he chooses to see things.

GX is one of those animes where the dub is magnitudes better than the sub. I actually love what they did to characters like Amber Mammoth and even how meta the jokes were.

The dub was trash

The rules for Duel Monsters weren't clearly defined until Battle City, which is part of why Duelist Kingdom is the worst arc and Battle City is one of the best.

>don't hold up as well as they use to

>Think why they never used Jutsu to rebuild the Leaf village in Naruto
They actually did though. The one guy who knew how to use wood jutsu was being put through the wringer to make materials for new homes.
>Or why dwarves are never the most powerful race despite being really good at making weapons
Being the best at making them doesn't mean you're the best at using them. Dwarves are all manlets that are usually outdone in either numbers or martial prowess. Besides, they have tend to have mountain/cave autism and would rather spend their time digging for treasure and building underground fortresses than trying to conquer the above-ground world.

I like to think he never did.
everything past this point was Kaiba autistically attempting to repair his shattered ego

Even battle city had a whole bunch of crazy bullshit and weird anime only rules

But they were still more concrete than Duelist Kingdom. It was just the right amount of bullshit. Structured bullshit. Style.

Duelist Kingdom was way too loose.

This. The dub makes especially season 1 and 2. They are so ridiculous and the dub takes it even less serious. They turned the fat guys father into a hot sauce addict.

What anime-only rules? Give an example

>not appreciating serious faced farce

Peak shit taste. The sub was way better. Only good thing about the burger dub was the monarch users in season 2.

Wait, this dude dueled the Pharaoh in the afterlife? Fucking kek. Did he lose?

>is the only one with a consistency engine
Compared to fucking Judai and his magic draw power and stun.Literally every deck is preferable to Judai's aside from maybe Cronos'.

That's because they the fandom loves the stereotypical edgy rivals.

Yu-Gi-Oh dubs are great to watch ironically, otherwise and if you want a somewhat serious experience you stick to subs.

That's just another reason why Kaito is a good rival. Unlike a certain shiny rich boy.

It's good, just has a slow start. If you haven't skipped any others then that means you watched arc v, which was even slower and far more inconsistent. Vrains also took a lot of stuff from zexal too

Just watch them in order. GX comes next. Personally I'd say watch it subbed. It doesn't really matter with the first 100 episodes but after that they really bring down the tension of season 3 and don't do season 4 at all

S1 and S2 are fine. But I honestly wouldn't reccomend S3 of the dub. Don't get me wrong S3, is funny, but it's not good because of the tone S3 carries.

4Kids never did season 4. They skipped straight to 5D's after season 3.

I don't get why this is so funny? Teaching aliens how to duel in their universe is like teaching them Earth's epitome of culture. It makes sense.

Alot of these are just headcanon. Others are just memes.

which are headcanon, aside from maybe the fact that he created hardlight in arc-V?

To be fair it was so Kaiba could play against Pegasus and get his brother back. This was one of the times when Kaiba's autism was justifiable.

Probably, but it's a cliffhanger ending. The last thing we see is him reaching the Pharaoh.
It's also left unclear if he can even get back from there- Mokuba said it was dangerous and untested, and he leaves Mokuba in charge of the company and refuses to promise to come back. He probably effectively killed himself for this rematch.

His "development" was so stupid. Probably the most stupid across all the franchise.

They simply shocked his gay away, it's just that beneath the gay there was this ultra edge.

Bdsm Zane was the weirdest phase shift I've ever seen.

It didn't serve much purpose either since Cyrus never got his rematch with him.

No. I own Kazuki Takahashi's art book and I've never once participated in an IRL tournament. Duelist Kingdom is the weakest arc in the whole manga. I don't NEED the present day rules to be all worked out before hand, I just don't like how DK handled Duel Monsters.

Actually, the Mammoth Graveyard thing isn't even a terrible example of this for me, I actually think the arc only starts to get good around that duel. But anyway, Duel Monsters wasn't concrete in Yugi's first TWO duels with Kaiba and you don't see me saying anything about those arcs. Death-T was actually amazing.

He lost clean to Yugi. Even if he was hoping Yugi would win, he had to give his all for the scenario to properly happen.

>The rules for Duel Monsters weren't clearly defined until Battle City, which is part of why Duelist Kingdom is the worst arc and Battle City is one of the best.
Tell that to this faggot who thinks that forcing your opponent to yield with threat of suicide isn't acceptable in a game where """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""rules for Duel Monsters weren't clearly defined""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Every time someone posts this, I just imagine him crawling around picking them all up again after the duel.
Did he bother? Or did he just buy more afterwards?

It isn't acceptable though. Kaiba vs Yugi is one of the better duels in that arc, and I'm the user you just posted at.

Is 5Ds worth it for this semen demon? I liked using her in Duel Links but never watched the show.

Kaiba's voice in the English dub makes me lul, so over the top

First arc treats her pretty well. She becomes less relevant in the second half of the series once her angst has been sorted out. Sorry if that constitutes a spoiler. She's still good though.

He lost against Jonouchi and Yugi. Former was obvious even before DSoD because Red-Eyes was summoned during Jonouchi's duel with Bakura using a deck he manifested from his spirit/will/mind.

It wouldn't have been in there if he hadn't beaten Yugi because Jonouchi is the one who wanted Yugi to keep Red-Eyes.

You know I feel like the 4kids dub did a better job of that scene. That might be the nostalgia talking, though.

Now that I think about it, Kaiba does actually have weapons.
He probably has an army of mechanical dragons that could fight aliens, and while he's at it, he can still go through the motions of playing the card game during the fights.

>Some random yahoos show up and easily steal the God Cards

Give me a fucking break, what a shitty fucking arc.
The only good thing about it is Yami and Kaiba teaming up vs Dartz(who like a pussy had 20000 Life Points for some reason)

It's not about Kaiba winning, it's how he won. Sacrificing your game winning Egyptian God card to summon your Blue Eyes White dragon waifu for BM is peak YGO.

>Kaiba buys Domino city
>Becomes a dystopian nightmare in the future where you even go to jail if you lose a card game, and get fucking branded

I have to wonder if Kaiba found the secret to immortality just to make this happen because he was still butthurt over Atem beating his ass.

What could be done about it really

This or watch season 0(preferrably do both though)

Will there ever be another character in Yugioh as based as Kaiba?

Nope, he got picked up by one of those hardcore feminist types who get with weak men to dominate them. You could literally watch his attitudes shift after they started dating.

You know...I remember thinking 5Ds was pretty cool early on whatwith Yusei escaping from Ushio-ripoff and all those underground tunnels and shit.
I liked how initially it was a more down-to-earth version of Yugioh with what it seemed Yusei and Jack having a rivalry/feud with each-other due to Jack being an asshole and betraying him.

Even their first on-screen duel was pretty cool before "muh akaki ryuu"
Fuck that bullshit, it literally ruined every potential the series had.

We didn't need Aki, the shitty twins, Crow, that whole Signers/Dark Signers bullshit etc.
I wish it would be about Yusei's and Jack's rivalry...potentially with Kiryu showing up later in a somewhat different role.

How cool would it have been if we got something like the cops reducing the freedom of card games by heavily regulating the game based o classes(i.e poorfags get shit cards while the elites get all the strong cards) and Yusei and Jack eventually reconciling their difference and fight against authority?

Honestly, a better question is how Kaiba recovered from Death-T.

>Hires a literal child murderer to assault Yugi and his friends.

>Fast Forward to Battle City
>Sees Anzu kidnapped.

"Even at my worst I would never use a hostage in a duel."

>How cool would it have been if the supernatural elements of Yu-Gi-Oh! were completely drained out of Yu-Gi-Oh!

It wouldn't have been cool. Not to mention we already got the class discrimination bullshit. But 5Ds handled it better than you suggested because the "poor people get shitty cards" part was a bi-product of the class discrimination instead of what it was based around entirely.

Imagine thinking card games on motorcycles is more down to earth than either of its predecessors.

Yes it would have been. Better than the generic shit we got.

Down to Earth was a poor choice of words.
What I meant was more gritty...and I suppose more Cyberpunk/Dystopian.

I liked the idea of Yusei being an underdog poorfag with talent/potential early on. I liked the whole street feel to it with Jack having betrayed Yusei in the past. I liked how there was this whole underground world patrolled by the police etc.
It was unique for a series like Yugioh and something new.

I hated when Yusei turned out to be the son of a famous scientist...as if he wasn't Mary Sue enough by that point ffs.

The closest thing that gave me a feeling close to those early 5Ds episodes was the Wild West arc with Kiryu which is why I liked it quite a lot but it still wasn't quite the same.

5DS was such wasted potential from the start.
But I guess they would have had it harder to sell cards if they actually made a cool creative show.

>ushio-ripoff
it's actually ushio.

well, in his twisted mind, he belive kidnapping to force lose is worse than death if you lose

Obviously not the Ushio from the original manga.
Maybe it's a descendant of his.

nope. It's the same one.

>Just googled this bullshit and apparently the director of the anime said so or smth
Yeah no that is fucking bullshit.
Ushio in his original incarnation is at the least 17-18 years old. GX takes place 10 years later and 5Ds probably takes place at least 40-50 years after GX at the least.

The director can suck my dick.

there is no established timeline about when 5D's happens, just that the plot happens...I think 15 years after a backstory event. Ushio also canonically exists in the time of GX.

I think at one point ushio also references that he used to be a bully as a teenager.

So really, it could be:
2X05 - DM
2X15 - GX
2X16 - zero reverse
2X31 - 5D's

Some parts of his brain might not have made it through Atem's penalty intact.

Blue Eyes White Dragon a cute. A Cute!

>the only anime deck to win a world championships until trickstar
there really is no flaw.

Autistic take. 4kids dub is more appropriate for the tutorial duel in the first episode but the other two are better for the climactic duel between rivals at the end of Death T. What I mean is, the things they say and the music doesn't fit as well in the 2nd series but would be great for the 1st series Kaiba duel.

>All that rah rah rah for something so blah blah blah
Why did I laugh?

My problem with Yugioh GX is he could play these exact same cards but as long as he didn't throw them and growl every time he spoke, it would be no problem.

>She got shafted so badly in the show
I don't know, I think Yusei would be pretty good at it.

ArcV would have been so much better if the interdimensional war was actually a full-on interdimensional war like Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the entire plot is just set around Yuya trying to defend the Pendulum Dimension until he has enough and decides to spite everyone by fusing everything together and stopping the wars by making it that nobody has any more land.

>How did Kaiba ever recover from this farce?
By being the greatest autist the world has ever seen.

There's also the ungodly amount that he sunk into an actual dimensional matter transporter at the end of the DSoD movie just to play a card game with Pharaoh Atem during his reign.

You better fucking delete this

>i placed a bomb in your monster when you tributed it without even activating a card, but tributing it again removes the bomb for no reason
The list goes on.
If yugi fusing a monster with his opponents monster to weaken it is your breaking point for “bullshit” in this series then i dont think this is the right series for you. DM was a great yugioh series and had just as much bullshit as battle city did, just because the rules became more concrete doesnt absolve it of quackery.

>If yugi fusing a monster with his opponents monster to weaken it is your breaking point
Wasn't the infamous catapult turtle way worse, anyway than mammoth?

I started cardgames on motorcycles recently and damn, it has to be the best yugioh part I've seen so far.

The first good duel was the tag labyrinth duel.

But he seems cursed to never be able to defeat Atem in a duel

GX is a clusterfuck and no matter how many apologists insist that Season 3 "fixed" it, it doesn't change the fact that Judai went from an annoying gary stu to a boring gary stu and is the worst character in a story where the universe literally revolves around him. Chronos and Manjoume alone save it from being completely unwatchable.

I still like to believe Jounouchi defeated him off panel in the epilogue to Battle City. Also nice trips.

My headcanon is that Judai became a worse duelist as time went on.

Would be similar to being a shareholder in any of Elon Musk's companies, I assume.

He did, Neo-spacians are an objective downgrade from E-Heroes

Still not as bad as Kaiser going from Cyber to Cyberdarks.

How can Anzu and Kisara even compete?

I'm pretty sure this was all holograms.

Even disregarding Kaibaman, that was a pretty good episode for Judais character.

But user he's genki therefore annoying therefore I am allowed to spew buzzwords freely to justify my hate

As much as Kaiba reading Nietzsche was very likely just a "dude this is what smart people do right?" gimmick by an inexperienced author, it ends up being incredibly fitting. He might actually be the closest thing to an Ubermensch I've ever seen in anime. Most such "ubermensch" characters are called that simply because they are loners who eschew conventional morality (but their own is rarely elaborated on). But Kaiba is actually quite close to the real meaning of it. He literally embraces a god-less universe (or so he believes) and overcomes nihilism by creating his own value-system and ideology, which is surprisingly deep for a children's card game show. Most importantly, Kaiba is shown to be genuinely life-affirming, and actually wants the best for humanity, "best" here meaning literally the best as in the strongest humanity - once again in contrast to a humanity that is "best" only in terms of comfort and pleasure (which would be the last man, the opposite of the ubermensch).

Of course, Nietzsche's "eternal recurrence" is also sort of present in them being literal reincarnations.

How would they run into conflict with other cards?

Anime Pegasus owes his life to 4kids, IIRC. He was assumed dead at the end of Duelist Kingdom, but was officially alive in the Pyramid of Light movie, which only happened because of 4kids pushing for one. Not that I mind. Peagasus' a fun character. But I don't recall him ever apologizing to Yugi for what he did. He's just kinda their friend now.

Pegasus was confirm to be alive in Walking with the Dragons arc in 2003. Pyramid of Light movie was from 2004.

I realized that while Yami Yugi can draw whatever card he wants by manipulating fate with willpower, Kaiba actually has a lot of similar moments where he draws whatever card he wants because he decided to be awesome.
So perhaps he has a similar ability and it's just never explicitly called out.

I don't even like GX and I paid more attention than you. Most of the "good" things he did were incidental on his quest to find strong opponents. By the way, you're getting really heated over a toy show, cool it with the insults you've been steamed all thread.

This. My chosen hero of Neospace and reincarnation of the supreme king who several girls are madly in love with and who's the best student despite never putting in effort and getting super special eye powers is NOT a Gary Stu okay?

>tfw such a bad duelist with such a shit deck the author genuinely couldn't think of a way for him to beat Yugi so he had it offscreen.

Ah I see you too have browsed HxH threads.

This. He developed a never before hinted at conflict for that episode and then got over it in that same episode. It was great.

I would love to see a scenario where he couldn't get his heavy hitters because his opponent is a beatdown scrub who's strategy was "Create a deck that makes it impossible for my opponent to summon high damage monsters thanks to my bottomless trap holes, black holes and raigekis"

A major hole in Kaiba's deck is it was 2 monster summons back than was a risky deal, if the guy had a trap hole, you lost three monsters for the price of one trap hole and he may clear the board of counterspells as well.

Honestly, Kaiba is a bad duelist by real Yugioh standards.

Marik played around too much. Besides, the mirror knights reflecting everything shuts him down pretty hard.

Kaiba is great because he stays true to himself. It's too often the asshole rival has to learn a lesson and become like the MC. Kaiba improves, but does it his own way. One of the many reasons he's the single best rival character in anime history.

You’re retarded but it’s a damn shame that you can’t even take simple insults on the internet. I mean who goes to such lengths to discredit a useful character this much because they’re butthurt over good writing

>butthurt
Immediately discarded. When I argue on Yea Forums, I consider ad-hom insults buzzwords wojaks and twitter memes to be automatic concessions.

It's not about being pretentious, it just shows that the other person isn't willing to debate in good faith and therefore it's a waste of time. I just consider it a victory and don't reply anymore. Which I'll do right now.

I hope it encourages better posting habits in at least one person, it's a stupid goal but it's my goal.

Imagine sticking to the shitty dub names after all this time

I LOVE YGO!

'"critical" "thinking"' classes were a mistake

Kaiser is an awful name

Hell Kaiser is a great name. Sounds a lot better than shit like Jack Atlas and Crow Hogan

GX fans are insane.

5dsfags are dumbasses

The Anime doesn't even bother to explain why Kaiba is in high school, but in the Manga, he's there because he's hunting down rare cards.

But he and Aster started fucking after that

I mean, I would just pay some highschoolers to hunt trade cards for me instead.
Imagine going to public school and having the CEO of mega-corporation as your classmate.

Imagine being Seto Kaiba and having to deal with plebs day in day out.

So like it's immune to everything that affects monsters?

>farce
chad move you mean

Did you even see the bitch Edo was with in S4?

Only you can see the pilots panic in the jet no one else, why would an hologram do that?

Nigga you have no idea how autistic Kai was.
The dub even cut out some of his autism.

He literally ran a gang at the age of fucking 12 and went after everyone he could destroying their beyblades just because of his autistic hatred of beyblades because his father chose beyblading over him/his family.

And let's not get me started over his background and how he was gonna be fucking child soldier...or that time in 2002/V-Force where he literally was responsible for a classmate's death because he kept autistically ignoring him.

It's very nice.

>Yami is prideful as fuck in the Japanese version
I really hate how shonen Kazuki made Yami after the card battle shit started happening.
To me he's not even the same character anymore.

He literally let his butler who he knew since he was a kid die in season 0 by making him battle Yugi.

>if Mammoth Graveyard is your breaking point for "bullshit"

Are you people just willfully retarded or something? I literally said that Mammoth Graveyard isn't an egregious example and that I like the duel.

This. Why is it okay for Weevil to go "um actually the Great Moth produces a magic venom that weakens your monster. Also even though you destroyed the cocoon it didn't count :^)" but Yugi plays a Poly as a Quick spell and you never hear the end of it?

The real bullshit part of that duel is Kaiba not being able to instantly attack with the revived Blue Eyes because "it's part of a fusion". Literally making up rules for the sake of the plot(and he had other monsters he could revive anyway).

SCREW THE RULES I HAVE GREEN HAIR!!!!

>i stole your deck and snuck my card into it and activate a card specifically to summon that card from your deck, this doesnt count as rule breaking or getting disqualified

Kaiba purposefully allowed things like Shadow Games and didn't respect Jonouchi until the duel with Marik so I doubt he'd have done anything about it if he'd known and it's not like he needed to since Jonouchi won anyway.

>the jam/slifer infinite loop
This is an amazing play.

>the dark spirit of Dark Sanctuary
The ghost was treated as an equip magic, it's not hard to understand if you're not retarded.

>I placed a bomb in your monster
Isis placed the bomb in her own monster, it only transferred to Obelisk because it was stolen and then tributed.

>Plant a bomb in one monster on the field. A monster that was Summoned using that monster as a Tribute is destroyed the moment it attacks. Its ATK is dealt as damage to its player.
>Plant a bomb in one monster on the field. A monster that was Summoned using that monster as a Tribute is destroyed the moment it attacks. Its ATK is dealt as damage to its player.

It completely follows the effect as outlined by the card in both the anime and manga. The bomb was in Zolga, so tributing Obelisk means nothing.

Of course this is all moot anyway since nobody even said they dislike the Mammoth Graveyard clause and you're just upset that someone dislikes your favorite arc.

Imagine unironically preferring Duelist Kingdom to Battle City, Death-T, Millennium World, or the introduction arc.

So? Still best girl.

Come on now.
We all know who the real best girl is.

Death-T was even more bullshit than DK
>I win because crit

I mean personally I don't even dislike Duelist Kingdom. I like Yu-Gi-Oh! as a whole, period. But I stand by what I said, it's the weakest of them. Most of the duels prior to the end just feel like a "heh" fest, and a lot of the big saves don't quite feel feasible, and it's obvious. It's why you still have memes to this day about Yugi being a cheater and why most of those memes come from Duelist Kingdom.

Battle City made the game feel and suffered nothing for it. I don't know what that other anons problem is.

It's not like I'm saying, "Yeah dude, Yu-Gi-Oh! would be so much cooler if the game was just like, totes, the OCG right? A real player none of this topdeck trap card bullshit, right dude? Right brah? Right bro? Right???"

Nobody wants that.

I love how not even the autistic 4kids dub could censor the word "God" when it came to these cards.

Crits are things that happen. It's a lot easier to believe something like that happened than something like >ATTACK THE MOON!

Duelist Kingdom just makes it hard to believe Duel Monsters is an actual game.

>Kaiba is great because he stays true to himself.
Not after Yami mind-crushes him he doesn't.
OG Kaiba literally punished Mokuba for losing to Yami and he was about to experience death like Yugi's grandpa did had Yami not saved him.

They weren't. I like how Yusei fought them, but their presence dude.

Niggas were losing their minds trying to figure out how to fight the God cards. On two separate occasions people thought, "I better just take that shit so he can't summon it." Their only fuck up was playing it themselves.

Yugi vs mind controlled Joey is the best duel in the series

Duelist Kingdom was basically like the rules they used in Yugi's first duel with Kaiba where you could summon any monster you want without tribute.

I liked the goofy fuck-huge machines they used in Duelist Kingdom.
Duel disks kinda got boring.

One of the biggest issues with Duelist Kingdom for me, and something that really made it seem like Kaz didn't know what he wanted from Duel Monsters yet is a small line from Pegasus about Kuriboh. Kuriboh is supposed to be considered the weakest Duel Monster in the game, but it obviously has its hidden utilities. It's actually got two really good effects. You'd think if anyone would understand this, it'd be Pegasus. But when Yugi uses Kuriboh in their duel, Pegasus says, "What? Someone actually uses that card?"

Duel Monsters has different formats just like Yu-Gi-Oh! irl. This becomes more clear in the manga, particularly when you examine the Legendary God cards. Battle City uses something called the Super Expert rules which is the first time tributes are introduced, and they scale based on monster levels. The Egyptian Gods require 3 tributes because they're level 10 monsters. Attempting to summon them without tribute is possible in a system that uses Duelist Kingdom rules. Imagine just slapping Obelisk on the board

No tributes is fine. I don't have trouble understanding Duelist Kingdom, it's just my least favorite arc. Duel Monsters doesn't feel like a real game in that arc for the majority of it. It struggles to find its footing all the way up until the finals in my opinion. Battle City makes Duel Monsters feel like an actual thing that I could believe people sit down and play, even if there was no IRL game to compare it to.

They were tables in the manga.

>They were tables in the manga.
Were they?
I don't remember, been a while since I read the manga.

>Duel Monsters has different formats just like Yu-Gi-Oh! irl.
Yeah DK came out in 1998 in the manga so people expecting it to follow irl rules are dumb.
It didn't even follow Bandai rules.

>One of the biggest issues with Duelist Kingdom for me, and something that really made it seem like Kaz didn't know what he wanted from Duel Monsters yet is a small line from Pegasus about Kuriboh.

You'd think if anyone would understand this, it'd be Pegasus. But when Yugi uses Kuriboh in their duel, Pegasus says, "What? Someone actually uses that card?"

It's true that a company like Industrial Illusions probably has a team of people designing cards after Duel Monsters hit it big. It's also very likely that not all Duel Monsters cards come from the tablets from Egypt and that some are original designs or come from some aspect of the collective unconsciousness that did not manage to take hold in ancient Egypt.

Personally, I think Pegasus' toon monsters represent not just his amiable facade, but his arrogance. I suspect they may be a jab at the occult history and mysticism that he, a modern-day white man, has no real control over.

But Kuriboh is not one of these monsters, Kuriboh is from Egypt. You'd think if anything, the monsters from Egypt would likely be Pegasus personal recreations, especially with the Millennium Eye implanted in his skull. But there's just nothing, he doesn't know what it is or why someone would use it. It's something you'd expect from someone like Kaiba but not Pegasus.

No one expects anything of Duelist Kingdom.

But what it does for the characters and what it does for the card game are done better in other sections of the manga, so...

Yeah.

Why didn’t Pegasus and Marik have past lives in ancient Egypt? Even the fucking Butler guy from Death T was there.

Pegasus was probably the last Millennium Eye holder; similar hairstyles.

>butler guy from Death T
no way. I remember Saggi being a criminal, but where was this dude?

Capsule Monster Chess didn't mention any sort of RNG element prior to that. Not the only bullshit in that arc anyway, you have Anzu super convenient job in Death-T, or how we're supposed to buy Kaiba betting on Yugi to win when some of the games were flat out unwinnable without outside interference he couldn't possibly see coming.

Capsule Monsters Chess didn't feel like a real game either to be honest. The idea of a chess board like game with pieces you don't start with but have to roll (it does have rng in this regard) is already skeptical enough.

>Anzu super convenient.

Nah, this is consistent in Anzu's character. It's actually a nice touch.

>Kaiba betting on Yugi to win.
1. Yugi wins fucking everything.
2. I mean Kaiba clearly had an intended result. Why else would Death-T all the way up to 5 even be a thing?

>Fired from her previously established job, and was just happened to be hired by Kaibaland, assigned to that particular attraction on that particular day and her job just happened to include carrying a non rigged gun.
It's part of the reason I scoffed whenever the abridged series complained about plot convenience in Doma as if that's unique that that filler arc. The manga isn't any better in that regard, arguably worse really.

I mean I've heard people complain about the rest of the series too and how Yami is a cheater with his "heart of the cards" bullshit and stuff but who cares.

>Butler guy from Death T
Daimon was filler in Season 0. He didn't exist in the manga.
He was better than both those shitters anyways.

>The idea of a chess board like game with pieces you don't start with but have to roll (it does have rng in this regard) is already skeptical enough.
This is what made early Yugioh so fun.
It was the "King of Games" not the "King of Sports/Competitions".

It wasn't supposed to be about autistic competitiveness and Kaiba taking shit so damn seriously illustrated that very well by being a stark contrast to the nature of the series.

Of course that is before Konami released their Duel Monsters video game which proved very popular and then Shueisha told Kazuki to change the manga and the rest is history.

Pretty sure he's talking about the creepy torture guy.

Yugi is a lucky boy

Apparently they also called him Daimon in the Duel Monsters anime
yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Hobson

Weird since he looks nothing like his manga counterpart.

You can see his brother going what the fuck Kaiba.

No, the epilogue image just means Kaiba can kill himself or travel to the afterlife then come back.

The last really funny development Little Kuriboh made was making Rebecca a fan of Dungeon Dice monsters.

She's a bit of a brat, but that's to be expected given her age.

yugioh isnt just a card game in their world

>Raphael
Why, because it's non canon? Filler wise, he beat him, what makes you think he didn't beat him?

Imagine lying about the best girl of the entire anime

>No argument

It's pretty good. It does get a little fuckey towards the end though but so does every other duel.

I thought Aknahdin was supposed to be Marik's dad's past life?

That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

He had a love interest since day 1 user

It's abusive though

That was her younger sister user.

Kingu is best rival and Yu-Gi-Oh character. He actually fucked a woman.

This just is forced edgyness, which is still funny , don't get me wrong but it can't hold a candle to Kiaba's extreme autism to beat Yugi and his dragon wife
All I can really remember from Beyblade was Kai destroying a while lab full of Soviet computers with a Beyblade which was pretty funny

Kaiba is obviously the real winner here

>will never get with Tea

Should Yugi have been banned for midset coaching (Yami/Atem)? Also the question that never gets answered is, why the fuck did it take until the Egypt arc for the characters to even question why Yugi gains multiple feet to his height, but only when dueling?

Kaiba is so powerful he even voiced the original intro to English One Piece

>kaiba considers atem to be his rival and not yugi
Fucking goddamn that must be the biggest ego blow to Yugi ever. How fucking cucked do you have to be?

What movie is this from? The last Yugioh thing I watched was that movie where there was that time traveler guy with the Malefic deck and Yusei, Yugi, and Jaden had to duel him. I missed Kaiba so much.

Did you read the thread?

Yugi trashed Kaiba in duel. Kaiba is the cuck.

DSoD

So kaiba created the singularity?

Would love to see someone using a stall deck in the anime. Gravity Bind, Level Limit Area B, Wave Motion Cannon win condition, Thunder King Rai-Oh, Fossil Dyna, Inspector Boarder, etc. Would be great.

Rebecca had a Gravity Bind Fire Princess cure/burn deck.
Bakura had his undead lock.

Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set). This card's Normal Summon cannot be negated. When Normal Summoned, cards and effects cannot be activated. Cannot be targeted by Spells, Traps, or card effects. Once per turn, during the End Phase, if this card was Special Summoned: Send it to the Graveyard. You can Tribute 2 monsters; destroy all monsters your opponent controls. This card cannot declare an attack the turn this effect is activated.

It's immune to any card that targets it, and no cards can be activated in response to it's summon. So for instance you can't destroy Obelisk with Raigeki Break, but you can use Dark Hole.

That's TCG Obelisk. Manga/Anime Obelisk has a different immunity that's never fully explained beyond "god card attacks don't trigger traps", and even that wasn't consistent.

>tfw not even kaz know how the gods work

But the evidence of absence is not the absence of evidence. Think about it

it's more like you want the god card to actually be impressive and useful and not just "lmao i activate #1234 version of card that fucks everything up" so you cant just negate/return to hand/atk to 0/banish/etc

Yugi won by banishing Ra so even the anime gods would get fucked by modern cards.
