A little late, but I wanted to draw something for the anniversary of the episode that made me love this pair 😈👻♡

On the topic of Duel Links, I was maining III and got to the GX Cup and well.

Now I can't help but imagine III and Shou bonding over both being (very stressed) younger brothers with Machine focused decks.

WAHHH I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS two of my favs hanging out....being friends... ;__; i think it's also interesting that their respective older brothers ALSO use Machine decks. and well at least one of their brothers is kind of a freak. slash pos

i think shosyrus could handle chistopher. i dont know if he could handle thomas though LMAO--meanwhile sho mentions his brother tried to elaborately kill himself and III's like. ahaha. i did that. 🥴

pinterest is constantly trying to convince me the thigh pouch is such a normal and big part of fashion and i keep going "haha yeah maybe in the yugioh universe" anyway here are two of the most popular Kisaras from fics

[sexhaver]

What kills me about the ygo disc horse is that they want to have their cake and eat it too with the whole "you can't lie to your opponent but also it's against the rules to do things that would verify if they're lying" like in magic if you search your deck for a card with characteristics you have to reveal that card to show that you didnt cheat but in ygo. You. Just dont? You say "trust me bro" like what kind of fae behavior is it to both have private info and also demand it to be true & hidden?

yeah i saw someone saying that the "saying you don't have a response in hand and then playing a hand trap deserves a year-long ban" position was reasonable because back in the day people would respond to targeted discard effects (i.e. "name a card, your opponent discards all cards in hand with that name") by just. lying and saying they didn't have a hand trap in hand? and then playing that hand trap later in the turn? like you get how that's worse right???

Absolutely great how Arc-v is hyping up Jack Atlas as this big mastermind, some tactical genius, the greatest dueling mind to ever grace this city, while I, a 5Ds fan, am sitting here, knowing he once lost a fight with a subway turnstile.

Why doesn't Joey just beat up Kaiba? I'm sure he can take him in a fight

Don’t doubt that he’s tried 😭 he tried to throw hands with him literally the first time they interacted in the first anime episode. He tried again fifteen episodes later, but as it turns out Seto is stronger than he looks. The guy did take out a guy with a gun with just a card at one point.

But I think if those two were left alone long enough they would start straight up brawling with their bare hands.

I have many thoughts and ideas about Zarc/Ray Swap AU but I think the one that sticks out the most for me is the funny idea Zarc still has to summons his Supreme King Form to battle Ray, but because she likely wouldn't or ever get the EN cards she is stuck going against his ridiculously overpowered Ace that doesn't let you do practically anything except this time Zarc is in the right for pulling this shit and Ray deserves to go through it.

Zarc:thanks to my effect, my other monsters are unaffected by the effects of your Fusion or Synchro or XYZ monsters

Ray:Wow Zarc, you're such a good entertainer, this duel has been so riveting since that thing was summoned and doesn't let me do shit...no wonder you failed as a dueltainer you fucking asshole

Zarc:Well, normally my entertainment is reserved for people not trying to destroy the world and making life hell for everyone else, so though shit babydoll, should have thought that before starting to murder everyone

Ray:I activate my card effect to destroy your monster once and for all

Zarc:As long as I have Monsters banished or in the graveyard I will never be destroyed

Ray:FUCK! YOU!

Maybe Ray creates Pendulum or En Cards or something after this from the PTSD from their fight.

Context?... Let's say that Malik visits the spirit world, in the Fabled Realm, where he sees Samara for the first time in her Fabled form, the Queen of this place.

And at first he couldn't recognize her because of her more mature appearance.

Hii! Sorry if this has already been asked before, but I wanted to know if you think Ghost could've beat Yami Bakura in their duel. What do you think would have happened if he won?

Hello! 🌸 I'm glad you ask. When I see people talking about this duel, they usually act like Kotsuzuka had no chance at all. Now, what if I told you that, had he played his cards differently, Kotsuzuka could've saved himself and his friends?

I've analyzed their duel obsessively like the occultshipper I am and concluded that, yes, Kotsuzuka could've had a chance to defeat Yami Bakura. And I can show you how.

First, let's review the duel from turn 4 onwards. After that, I'll tell you what he could've done.

-------✦-------

👻 Turn 4, Kotsuzuka's turn. Yami Bakura: 3950 LP | Kotsuzuka: 3500 LP

Kotsuzuka normal summons Dragon Zombie, then activates Premature Burial, paying 800 LP to special summon The Snake Hair from his graveyard. He's left with 2700 LP. Next, he activates Polymerization, using Dragon Zombie and The Snake Hair on his field as materials to special summon Great Mammoth of Goldfine. Per the rules of Battle City, fusion monsters cannot attack during the turn they are fusion summoned. He sets a card face-down and ends his turn.

😈 Turn 5, Yami Bakura's turn. Yami Bakura: 3950 LP | Kotsuzuka: 2700 LP

Bakura draws a card. Kotsuzuka activates his face-down trap, Skull Invitation, which will deal a player 300 damage every time a card goes to their graveyard. Yami Bakura activates Spiritualistic Medium. He discards 4 cards from his hand to raise the ATK of The Earl of Demise on his field to 4000 until the end of this turn. Skull Invitation deals him 1200 damage, leaving him with 2750 LP. The anime doesn't show this, but, at this point, Spiritualistic Medium goes to Yami Bakura's graveyard, so Skull Invitation should deal him another 300 damage, leaving him at 2450 LP. The Earl of Demise attacks Great Mammoth of Goldfine, leaving Kotsuzuka with 900 LP. The Mammoth goes to Kotsuzuka's graveyard, triggering Skull Invitation, and he now has 600 LP left. Yami Bakura ends his turn.

👻 Turn 6, Kotsuzuka's turn. Yami Bakura: 2450 LP | Kotsuzuka: 600 LP

Kotsuzuka draws Nightmare's Steelcage and activates it. This card remains on the field for 2 of the opponent's turns, and during that time, monsters cannot attack. Kotsuzuka sets a monster and ends his turn.

😈 Turn 7, Yami Bakura's turn. Yami Bakura: 2450 LP | Kotsuzuka: 600 LP

Yami Bakura draws Ectoplasmer and activates it. During his End Phase, he tributes his Earl of Demise, dealing half of its ATK (1000) as damage to Kotsuzuka, bringing his LP to 0, and winning the duel.

-------✦-------

Now, what could Kotsuzuka have done differently? Let's go back:

👻 Turn 4, Kotsuzuka's turn. Yami Bakura: 3950 LP | Kotsuzuka: 3500 LP

Did you notice something odd during this turn? Kotsuzuka normal summons Dragon Zombie, only to use it as fusion material, when Polymerization lets the player use monsters from their hand, too. I mean, the animation where the monsters on his field get dragged and merged is cool and all, but that little decision cost him his life. So, let's say he uses Dragon Zombie in his hand and The Snake Hair on his field as fusion materials. He special summons the Mammoth. Then, he would still have his normal summon. Now, take a look at his hand:

Do you see that card on the very right? That's Crass Clown; a monster that, if changed from defense position to attack position, returns an opponent's monster to the hand. He should have used his normal summon to set that monster on the field. So, he now has Great Mammoth of Goldfine (which cannot attack this turn since it was just fusion summoned), and Crass Clown face-down on the field. He sets Skull Invitation and ends his turn.

😈 Turn 5, Yami Bakura's turn Yami Bakura: 3950 LP | Kotsuzuka: 2700 LP

For now, let's suppose the duel continues as normal, except for the change I made. Yami Bakura discards his entire hand, and the Earl of Demise attacks and destroys Great Mammoth of Goldfine, Skull Invitation does its thing. Kotsuzuka would still have Crass Clown face-down.

👻 Turn 6, Kotsuzuka's turn Yami Bakura: 2450 LP | Kotsuzuka: 600 LP

Kotsuzuka draws Nightmare's Steelcage, but he shouldn't activate it. Instead, he can normal summon Armored Zombie, which we saw in his hand in the screenshot I showed you earlier. Now, he should change Crass Clown to attack position, which would trigger its effect, returning The Earl of Demise to Yami Bakura's hand. Guess what? Yami Bakura has no monsters left on his field, and no face-down cards, either. Guess what else? He has 2450 LP left. Kotsuzuka has two monsters on the field. Crass Clown (1350 ATK), and Armored Zombie (1500 ATK). 1350+1500= 2850. Attacking with both monsters directly would end the duel with Kotsuzuka's victory before Yami Bakura even drew Ectoplasmer.

-------✦-------

Of course, this isn't the only possible outcome. As we know, Yami Bakura discarded 4 cards that we couldn't see. Depending on what these cards were, he could've changed his strategy to account for Kotsuzuka's face-down monster.

The change I proposed doesn't guarantee that Kotsuzuka would've won the duel, but the possibility was there. He could've saved himself and his friends and I'm screaming.

The only thing that could ruin my... theory? is if the anime version of Polymerization works differently than the OCG/TCG one. If it doesn't allow Kotsuzuka to use monsters in his hand, everything I just wrote would be pointless.

-------✦-------

As for what happens after that, I don't know. Unless Yami Bakura calls the Shadow Game off or something, he'd be the one to suffer the fate that was meant for Kotsuzuka, right?

Imagine that. Kotsuzuka would've saved the world without even knowing.

This also means he'd pick up the Millennium Ring. AUs of this could be very interesting!
