Yu-Gi-Oh General Thread

[gz89]

It's plenty dark - just as dark as DM but probably better character writing
Like, in DM we had:
Pegasus: Oh no my girlfriend died, i must go exploring egypt... im back from egypt and have a stupid eye so now i have to 180 and become a dickhead
Bakura: possessed by an evil bandit spirit who hates puzzle man for no reason
Rafael: my sister died so now i'm going to blindly follow Atlantis Hitler
Dartz: I am Atlantis Hitler and want to resurrect the creature that destroyed my own civilisation because reasons

In 5Ds there's a lot more relationships with characters like Yusei, Jack, Kallen, Crow that are genuinely really fleshed out and fully explain the wrongdoings and goals people have in the show - there's also a lot of civil rights stuff involved in the story; genuinely interesting

But then the other shows should be avoided they're literally just:
GX - A school for a card game, gets invaded by and helped by Aliens because reasons
Zexal - Weird unexplained spirit must win cards through duels or he dies
Arc-V - Some circus dude finds out there's other dimensions - alternate version of himself wants to destroy the multiverse because reasons
VRAINS - VR meets skateboarding emo who gets hacked by an AI who specifically really hates one dude because reasons
Sevens - Dude invents a new dumbed down version of the game because he's a moron
Go Rush - The dude didn't actually invent the new rules, they existed out in space because reasons

lol i didnt even know that there are so many sequels. I remember only 5D & GX

they pump them out every 2 years now for a quick buck and have been doing it like this since the end of Zexal lol

Yep those summaries sound like possible plots

 

[HA001]

5ds is good and has an awesome intro

All 5Ds openings slap. But especially the last 2 by Masaki Endoh

 

[L o g i a]

I still stand by one of these being the best intro:

 

[HA001]

The seal of orichalcos theme was awesome too.

 

[Juanpiz]

Ah yes green shadow realm

 

[L o g i a]

The seal of orichalcos theme was awesome too.

I don't remember the anime opening for it, unless you just mean the music that played every time it was activated in the episodes themselves?

 

[Welkin]

Love Yugioh man

For me it's probably

Duel Monsters/Season 0 (watch/read it that shit is crazy) > 5DS > GX > everything else

I play the game from time to time too

 

[Astaro]

I still stand by one of these being the best intro:

Yugioh Op 2 is my favorite from Duel Momsters perfectly set the mood of the high stakes for the iconic Battle City arc

Also VRAINS doesn’t get enough love. First opening is right up there with the best of 5Ds

 

[HA001]

Yeah.

 

[Nightlord101]

Yeah.

When are we going to get the announcement on the light pack?

I started rewatching ZEXAL for nostalgia's sake, and because I never finished it. Instead of giving me nostalgia, it's just making me depressed about how old I've gotten...

Did you try to watch Arc V?

 

[Uriyahn]

Did you try to watch Arc V?

I watched all of Arc V and VRAINS. Honestly, I like Arc V despite it's problems. The Fusion Dimension is an underrated arc. VRAINS is my second favorite series. I have bias for 5D's. I even have a tattoo of Yusei's signer mark. I just never finished ZEXAL.

Arc v was suprisely good, Yuya has the best rage moment in the entire yugioh series for me. [Yugioh thru ArC V] I stop after arc v ended though.

5ds was awesome too.
