Best Manga panel Tournament Round 2- A

[Devilbat]

It's a just ridiculously funny and absurd panel lol. Who expected the actual Yami Yugi to appear out of a guys afro, a guy who looks like an anime version of Johnny bravo who loves disco too I guess lol.

The fact it was drawn by the actual author of yugioh makes it more awesome and also more bittersweet and poignant in hindsight as the author died a while ago, saving the life of someone else who was drowning at sea or something, a child I think too? He saved their life at the expense of his own IIRC?
So he literally died a hero in more ways than one too, as one of the most beloved manga authors ever and saving someone's life directly too ofc.

Idk what else to say, best manga panel could refer to it being a best panel for a multitude of possibilities, including sad, epic, horrifying, exciting, funny, detailed, simplistic, visionary, style, composition etc.

I was angry before that such a lighthearted and fun entry was going up against the edgiest, bleakest series here and losing to it too. Not surprising but still disappointing.
I'm really grateful it's been given a 2nd chance even though I don't think it will win.

That's such a sweet story! That's exactly what I referred to when saying you need additional context for a manga panel, why this one is so special.
I hope it will get at least to semi-finals!

Aye thats true, theres no synopsis/descriptions for these, so it can't be helped. I prefer being able to write stuff up for these but it can put a lot of pressure on others and put them off from entering as some people have said, so its a bit of lose lose scenario really.

Thank you so much anyway, I really appreciate it. As I was saying though, I think it's a worthy entry just because of how absurd, funny and truly unexpected it is too and having the actual author of Yugioh drawing that panel, drawing the pharaoh himself directly too.

Yeah, after reading the story I changed the vote in favour of your entry!
We're both doomed next round tho, seeing how 2B is going, it's only going to get tougher!
