So Ka obviously pre-date the millennium items, right. They're an inherent magical thing that anyone can learn to summon for themselves. The power-up the millennium items added is the ability to remove other people's Ka and save them for your own use later, which they've only been able to do for less than 16 years.

This means it was under Atem's dad's rule that they:

anyway I think Aknamkanon did some things wrong actually even if finding out about Kul Elna made him really sad

i like the duel with the pharaoh vs malik’s mime because they get so wrapped up in the mythology of what they’re doing – destiny, the power of the egyptian god cards, atem is paralyzed with fear when osiris the sky dragon is summoned, he’s about to give up bc of the ~ infinite combo – that they forget they’re also playing a highly structured, orderly game with mutually agreed-upon rules like “you lose if you have no more cards left to draw.” like, that’s what happens when your villainous plot to murder the pharaoh relies almost entirely on card games

i also like this duel because kaiba shows up halfway through yelling GET UP AND FIGHT GOD!!!!, and then in the next duel, the tag team duel, atem is like, very level-headed, “kaiba, calm down. remember, teamwork. we’ll win if we cooperate and work together. as a team.”

#kaiba: read nietzsche. in the original german like i did #atem: ok. but you have to watch sesame street

Relative to other characters, Seto Kaiba actually has a slightly higher-than-average amount of information about what the plot of yugioh is. This is easy to miss because he simply doesn't care. Other characters repeatedly attempt to explain parts of the plot of yugioh to him in clear terms (including Ishizu, Atem, and Yugi) and his general response is "Please shut up and get back to playing the card game with me." So whenever we're evaluating how much of the plot of yugioh each of the characters understand, Kaiba's placement is actually surprisingly high, in the sense that he understands the general outline of much of the stupid nonsense people keep shouting at him and giving him hallucinations of.

Peer approved commentary

Kaiba ousted his abusive adoptive father, seized a weapons manufacturing company, then turned it into a gaming company by the time he was like 10. He already DID his anime protagonist era off screen he doesn't WANT another anime protagonist era

It's just the only interesting people around are unfortunately god damn anime protagonists.

HI WHAT

JOUNOUCHI CALLED ZORC A “LIMP-DICKED” COWARD

We out here learning Japanese

yugioh memory world model UN AU

everything is the same except atem and bakura are just high school nerds whose model UN club has decided to pick "genocide survivor demands justice from the young heir of a genocidal monarchy" as an interesting hypothetical debate topic

and they both get really really into it

there was a reason i was thinking about this, it was because i was thinking "ok so TKB makes his point well, but since he does start trying to kill people, i see why in-universe no one tries to hear him out. because you don't get points just for making your point well, outside of a model UN"

and then i was like "but what if it was a model UN"

bakura: your father ordered the mass killing of my entire town!!! and i'm the only survivor!!!

atem: WHAT!!!! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT

bakura: THE WEALTH OF YOUR GOVERNMENT COMES FROM THE BLOOD OF MY PEOPLE

atem: WHAT!!!! THAT'S TERRIBLE

bakura: I AM HERE FOR REVENGE

atem: WHAT

bakura: I'M GONNA KILL THE MONARCHY

atem: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

bakura: I'M GONNA KILL YOUR ENTIRE CITY TOO

regular bakura: WAIT BAKURA NO THAT'S NOT PART OF IT

atem: YOU CAN'T KILL MY ENTIRE CITY

yugi: you CAN'T kill his ENTIRE CITY!!!!

bakura: FUCKING WATCH ME!!!! UNITED NATIONS MASTER, I ROLL FOR INITIATIVE

regular bakura: THIS IS NOT DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS

For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

PLEASE read yugioh

It’s Season 4 and Kaiba Has Completely Run Out of Fucks: A Compilation

doodles, wips, and warmups from the past year

Shoutout to Hiroto Honda for being the only major character who never once puts Atem on a pedestal or idealizes him in any way. To Honda and Honda exclusively Atem really is just a guy.

Yugi and Anzu and Jou and Kaiba are like “he’s my idealized self/huge crush/the standard I am constantly measuring myself against” but Hiroto Honda specifically is just out here with “The other Yugi? Yeah he’s okay I guess. Pretty cool guy, a little histrionic, nice enough. We get burgers sometimes.”

absolutely INCREDIBLE takes, thank you all for making me see Honda in a new light

[Transcript of previous reblog's image: screenshot of tags reading " #honda is kinda great like that # I don't know how much he fully 'gets' anything that happens in yugioh # but I also think he understands exactly as much as he wants to # and that's self care.

#also the only one who realized that what they needed to stop bakura wasnt a card game but a good punch in the face "

Yugioh but with Comic Sans

I’ll be honest I just happened to be thinking about yugioh and comic sans and made this on a whim - having such a serious-stakes show contrasted by a notoriously hard-to-take serious font would be so funny!

(also it’s hard to comic-sans a hieroglyph but i tried my best!)

This is so silly, but I hope you enjoy it, and have an AWESOME day!!

facebook keeps advertising official Yu-Gi-Oh! hanukkah merch to me and i simply cannot get over it.

So who’s buying this for me?

this is it. this is the best tag on this post.

what if yugioh had stayed as the horror manga kazuki takahashi originally intended to write - Notes: Shadow games referenced are from: 1. Ch. 1 of the manga/E1 of S0 - “Money and Knife” 2. Ch. 4 of the manga/E2 of S0 - “Escaped Prisoner” 3. Ch. 8 of the manga  - “Poison Man”
