Happy 20th anniversary to GX, a show that has followed me from my childhood to now as an adult.

Historically in Japan, 20 is the age in which you pass into adulthood. So I guess GX itself has finally come of age.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Characters - Garfield Style

This series of images basically started thanks to Lyman Banner being called, well, "Lyman". Given that I already created a series of Mario characters in the style of Garfield, I decided to give the Garfield style another go. Thus, Lyman Banner is basically Lyman with Lyman Banner's clothing, leading to Jaden/Judai being based on Jon Arbuckle, because I think it's funny, and besides, they are practically the main characters in a sense.

While Yubel is based on Liz (and in fact I called the fusion "Yubeliz"), the resulting character doesn't appear to have much in common with the real Liz, so I would probably not attribute much to the character of inspiration. I do personally think that the result is not to shabby, especially with the various details that Yubel has!

Initially, I didn't want to base Pharaoh on Garfield, but ultimately I relented because I wasn't satisfied with the initial sketch for Yubel. My initial idea was to base Odie on Pharaoh and Garfield on Yubel, because Lyman was Odie's original owner, so that would make sense. Also, Garfield has often been joked as some demonic entity so in my mind that seem to make sense. But after I analysed Yubel's details, I became unconvinced that it would be the best idea.

Winged Kuriboh was a late addition, because in my mind, doesn't Jaden/Judai have Winged Kuriboh as a spirit partner? The choice of character ultimately went to Gnorm Gnat for the deep cat and the fact that I felt that this is probably the best character to use for Winged Kuriboh.

And finally, here are some rejected sketches:

To elaborate on why I changed the Yubel and Pharaoh designs, Garfield's smaller body makes the details unable to stand out very well, even though I personally liked Odie's design. But a change of plan necessitate that I redesign the two from scratch. I'm also personally not a fan of portraying Garfield as a demonic entity that a group of fans do, so in a way, I am sticking to my beliefs in this case.

As for the second Pharaoh design (top-left), someone feedbacked that the cat looked too much like Garfield and I am inclined to agree, and I expressed interest in showing off a detail on Pharaoh that never got to be shown: the head pattern. Garfield does have cats with a forehead, like Barney (the cat).

There you have it. They're probably not the most perfect Garfield style, but I think I am satisfied with how it turned out.

Thank you for reading.

I've seen GX several times, so obviously, I know this. And we all know this. But it's just really hit me the last few nights and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

The fact that Banner knew. He knew what happened to Atticus the entire time. Because he was the one who led Atticus to the shadows in the abandoned dorm, and he was also a Shadow Rider.

He knew.

And that just really fucks me up when I think about him being such a present figure in the lives of the kids in the first season, like, he's such a prominent figure in Alexis's life at the school. And the entire first half of the first season her entire motivation, her entire purpose is trying to find even a single clue about what happened to her brother, and hopefully, actually finding him.

And it's not a secret that she's actively searching for him, not among the main cast at least so I don't find it to be much of a stretch that Banner could've found out. But when if he didn't know that, just the fact that Atticus's little sister is now a student at this school. And Banner knows full well, not just what happened to her brother, but what he did to him -under orders or not- and like he's not really around much when Atticus is actually present and conscious, but if he's the good, decent man the kids believe he is and that he's presented as, how could he ever look Alexis in the eye without the guiltiest conscience. How dare he look her in the eye and not feel the weight of that guilt.

And like, I love Banner. I adore Banner, I think he's just delightful, but I just can't get passed this at the moment like it's just come crashing into me like a truck and I don't know, I think we should talk about the damage he did to this family more. Like I need to see some actual acknowledgement of it from the show, personally, but we never really did necessarily and I'm just losing my mind a little bit over here hahahahahaha 😭

GX 87

oh yeah that did happen

[aquekyu]

So, my friends and I finished watching Season 1 of Yu-Gi-Oh GX last weekend. And with me being the kind of person who would grow attached to fictional characters so quickly, I have to ask.

Why is no one talking about Professor Daitokuji/Banner?

You're telling me that this tall, long-haired, sharp-chinned, silly man with a cat and a fear of vampires is mostly ignored by everyone? Are you kidding?!

He even has an Evil Mode. People love an Evil Mode!

I don't think I have been this crazy over a Yu-Gi-Oh character in a while. Don't send help. I am beyond help.

One more thing.

Put him in Duel Links, Konami.

Jim Crocodile Cook: I see myself as a bear. And the animal.

Austin O’Brien: I’m Sam Eagle and nothing violent happened on January 6th!

Cronos: *side-eyeing Judai* a village is not a village until it has an idiot.

Amon Garam: I’m being bullied for being upper middle class!

Fubuki Tenjoin: Go chase your bus of white girls!

Ryo Marafuji: The secret code is crowbar. *kicks down a door*

Samejima: *after watching Judai duel* …some of that was right.

Daitokuji: I am not telling you taking shrooms is a good idea, I’m reading William James.

BONUS:

Cronos: Timothee Chalamet is very pretty.

Samejima: indeed.

Cronos:

Samejima: little too young for me, though.
