I’m wheezing I didn’t know my past lived, I can’t outrun the era of my past

Have some (mostly) in universe Yugioh Memes

[enemyoflactose]

I finished Battle City

So for my redemption arc, I have finished both Duelist Kingdom and Battle City.

I think I may have gotten worse.

I'll start by talking about voice acting and which one I prefer:

Bakurae: I like both Ted Lewis and Rica Matsumoto's performances. They both did amazing and I am so bi for their voices.

Marik: His goofy ass skeletor voice is not it. It's funny as hell, but he just sounds better in the sub.

Odion: I like both

Ishizu: I like both

Everyone else: could go either way

Characters:

Yugi didn't really do a lot at the start, and everything I want to say about him happens in his duel with Joey. Honestly, I don't like how in the anime he doesn't play much of a role.

Yami Yugi: this man... This man.

Téa: I love her. Honestly. She gave like zero friendship speeches this season and didn't really do much except help Yami find Ishizu.

Joey: I LOVE JOEY WHEELER.

Tristan: he's there. I don't like how he treats Serenity.

Serenity: I actually really like her. She's not the most realistic sister character, but I still like her.

Duke: my guy, leave the girl alone.

Marik: I can't take him seriously. I just can't. He sounds like Skeletor, his plans are stupid, he can barely duel, he's a coward, he dresses ugly, mother fucker uses Revival Jam, this happened

How am I supposed to take him seriously?! Also, his backstory didn't do anything for me. Like, yeah what he went through was awful, but it just feels like an excuse. It felt like Ishizu and Odion were trying to justify Marik's behavior and say he did nothing wrong and should be forgiven. (Also, I saw a post about how Joey should have showed Marik sympathy. They blocked me when I said that was stupid)

Ishizu: she's such a great character. Her love for her siblings feels real, she's a snarky dork, her duel with Kaiba is fantastic, and she's pretty.

Odion: Am I supposed to feel bad for him? Not because he was horrifically abused I do feel bad about that, but with the way he was treating Marik... My guy was an enabler. Of course Marik is still evil under your care, you haven't done anything to help him be good. He just rolls over and lets Marik do what he wants because he doesn't want to betray his oath or something.

Mai: literally so cool. I'll actually get to talking about her in a bit.

Kaiba: iconic.

Mokuba: he takes his duel commissioner job so seriously it's adorable. He just pops up out of nowhere to catch people cheating and then Kaiba comes along to scare the cheater when they don't listen to Mokuba.

Regular Bakura: B-baby boy???

Yami Bakura: I'd literally bend over for him. He can have all of my possessions. Anyway I feel like he went through some character assassination this season. He just doesn't seem like a threat, but I guess that's how abusers get ya because he stabs Regular Bakura.

Arkana: I've said it once and I'll say it again, I am a sap. I felt so bad for this guy. First his magic show goes wrong, then his face gets mangled, then his wife leaves him, then he gets indoctrinated into Marik's cult, then he almost dies by saw blade, then he actually dies.

Lumis and Umbra: these two are gay and dating.

Strings: there is nothing there.

Mako and Weevil are pretty much the same.

Espa Roba: he's a cheater.

Duels:

Bandit Keith vs Yugi Moto (Duel 1)

The first duel of the season introduces us to Marik. We learn that he wants the puzzle and has a magic rod that can mind control people.

This duel shows off that Yugi is not yet as good a duelist as Yami because this loser gets fucking cooked.

Yami Bakura shows up and breaks Keith free. This makes Marik a little annoyed.

Marik makes Keith break the puzzle.

Bakura comes in and helps Yugi fix it, but he puts a little piece of his soul in the puzzle because of reasons that are never explained.

Bakura leaves and Keith burns the building down.

Joey and Tristan save Keith and Yugi.

Yami Yugi vs Jonny Steps (Duel 2)

I am not talking about the duel you suckers. I'm talking about what happened before the duel!

Yami and Téa go on a date. During this date they go on wacky high jinks and Yami gets Light Force Sword.

After dueling Jonny Steps, they go to the museum and meet Ishizu. She tells them that Yami is actually an ancient Egyptian pharaoh and he needs to save the world by joining Kaiba's tournament and winning it. Also he needs three Egyptian God Cards.

Joey vs That one guy (duel 3)

Joey gets Exodiad and feels so bad that he doesn't go and visit his sister in the hospital.

He also lost his Red Eyes Black Dragon.

Tristan finds him on the beach and shows Yugi and Téa who he found (fuck you 4kids)

Kaiba vs the machine (duel 4)

OBELISK, FIST OF FATE!!!!!

Yami vs the one guy(duel 5)

Yami beats Exodia and wins back Joey's Red Eyes.

Joey declined it.

Joey vs Espa Roba (duel 6)

In this duel Joey faces an alleged psychic who had already defeated Rex Raptor.

Rex tries to help Joey for a little bit, but stops like half way through the duel.

During this duel, Espa is talking about the universe and how he can't lose and shit like that and Joey's just clowning on him.

Espa Roba has his brothers up on a building helping him win duels.

Joey figures this out.

Joey wins the duel.

Some guy in the audience says "Espa couldn't predict he'd be a loser", and I think that's funny.

Joey got a Jinzo!! The only good card he'll get this whole tournament.

Yami vs Arkana (duel 7)

Yami faces a magician who's all like "Aren't you SO sad that your precious Dark Magician is in the deck of another duelist???!"

Some bullshit happens, Dark Magician is sentient and saves Yami, Dark Magician Girl is summoned by Dark Magic Curtain, there's shadow blades, guillotine-chan is here, apparently there's no service in the tent.

Yami wins.

Arkana dies or something it was really unclear.

Joey vs Weevil Underwood (duel 8)

Joey got his deck and Duel Disk stolen by some mustache and had a card put In it.

Joey and Weevil duel ata fountain.

During this duel Weevil calls out to the Parasite Paracide card in Joey's deck and turns all of Joey's monsters into insect cards.

Weevil brings out Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth. Joey destroys it.

Weevil brings out his Insect Queen and talks about how much he wants to fuck it. Joey destroys the Insect Queen and wins it.

Joey gained the worst card of the season.

Yami and Kaiba vs some guys (duel 10)

Kaiba uses Lord of D and two Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon three dragons and then he summons Obelisk and then he wins the duel and takes some locator cards.

Joey Wheeler vs Mako (duel 11) ft. Marik falling for the Bakura sham.

Joey and Mako duel.

Joey is putting on the world's greatest show, and is told to stop because it's "embarrassing and taking to long"

Joey tries to use Parasite Paracide, but flip monsters haven't been invented yet.

MEANWHILE

Marik almost runs over Bakura.

BACK TO THE DUEL

Mako is telling a son story about his dad and how Legendary Fisherman is his dad and he loves his dad so he has to win the duel for his dad because he loves him ever so much.

MEANWHILE

Yami Bakura is talking mad shit and Marik's all like "This idiot has NO idea that to open the door to darkness he needs the Egyptian God Cards."

What if my guy was talking 'bout Kingdom Hearts?

BACK TO THE DUEL

Mako used a ritual card 🤮

Now Joey has to find the fisherman and attack.

Joey finds the fisherman and attacks. Mako gets sad. Loser deserved it tho for using rituals.

Joey uses some gambling cards and oh no

MEANWHILE

Bakura puts his scam into action and says he's a strong duelist (He's aight.)

Marik doesn't even fact check this and makes a deal with him.

The rod for a god card.

BACK TO THE DUEL

Joey uses Panther Warrior to wipe out the ritual card 🤮, and wins the duel.

Joey has gained Legendary Fisherman! Not as bad as the last card, but Joey you have a shitty deck how do you keep winning???

Seto and Yami vs Lumis and Umbra (duel 12)

THERE'S ANOTHER FUCKING RITUAL CARD!!!! AND IT'S NOT EVEN A GOOD ONE!

It's awful, it sucks, it's worthless, they should have just used level cards

This duel is not worth my time.

Yami and Seto win.

We interrupt this essay to talk about important stuff that happened out of duels:

Bakura got stabbed

Mokuba, Téa, and Joey got kidnapped

Tristan ran for an hour with a teenage girl on his back

Duke hit some guy with dice

Mai met Serenity

Joey got mind controlled

Téa girl mind controlled

Joey vs Yugi/Yami (duel 13)

I cried during this duel

Joey got mind controlled by Marik and is evil and dueling Yugi for the puzzle and they're also strapped to this anchor that's gonna drag them to the bottom of the ocean in an hour and oh my God this duel

Téa's life is also being threatened but she's a badass who doesn't care.

Kaiba can't help because then Téa will die.

Joey was given all these rare cards and is using them against Yugi.

Yugi is so scared to attack because he doesn't wanna hurt Joey.

Yugi is so fucking sweet I love him so much.

Yami is just in the corner like "you good Yugi?" And "Oh no!!! Joey!!" I love them so much

Yugi ends up giving the puzzle to Joey so he can fight Marik better, he summons R d eyes black dragon to get through to him, this shit is just barely working I HATE THIS DUEL

Marik is being a whiny little bitch ass loser because his mind control is failing

Joey breaks free after attacking Yugi then he uses the effect of some mirror card to attack himsefl

Joey and Yugi both plummet to the ocean, Yugi is saved by Joey and Joey is saved by serenity.

I LOVE JOEY WHEELER

Meanwhile at the hospital

Yami Bakura vs Bonz (duel 14)

This episode is so fucking good. The animation, the duel, BONZ IS HERE

This duel starts off with Yami Bakura already being kinda annoyed. He just got jumped so it makes sense.

He summons a headless knight and it gets destroyed.

He destroys Bonz's cards.

Bonz fuses Medusa and crawling dragon to get... An elephant?

Then Bonz activates that one card that makes you lose life points for every card sent to the graveyard. Yami Bakura responded by fucking cheating and just tossing his hand to the graveyard.

Then he summons Earl of Demise and Bonz puts him in a cage.

Then Yami Bakura uses ectoplasmer and wipes out Bonz's life points and sends him to hell the Shadow Realm.

Mai vs Jean Clawed Magnum (duel 19)

I am not talking about this duel other than

Joey x Mai supremacy

We love polarshipping

Stuff that happens before the finals

The gang is shocked at the idea of Regular Bakura dueling (rude)

Tristan can't flirt

The gang raid Joey's pantry

A bingo machine

Yami Bakura pretends to be Regular Bakura and messes with Joey by saying shit like "Cheerio" and "fellows"

Marik does stuff

Odion gets threatened a few times

Ishizu shows up late

Mai drinks censored wine

Yami Bakura vs Yami (duel 15)

This shit is so hype

It starts off with Yami Bakura being dog shit and summoning weak cards (it's for a plan), and Yami and the gang just ragging on him and insulting him.

Then Bakura summons Dark Necrofear, but he doesn't attack because he's scared that Yami's face down card is a trap (reasonable)

Dark Necrofear gets destroyed by a buffed Dark Magician Girl, but this was all part of the an because now Yami Bakura can use not only his Destiny Board (worst win strat ever), but he can also use Dark Sanctuary.

At this point in the duel, Yami Bakura is cooking. He is dominating.

He got out his Dark door, Yami can't attack more than once. He got his spirit redirecting attacks at Yami. He's cooking something delicious.

Then Yami special summons Dark Necrofear and now Yami Bakura can't use his strategy.

Unless he summons Jougen the Spiritualist!

Now the sanctuary is back and he can keep up with his shitty win strat.

Then Yami summons Slifer and he contemplates death.

Marik makes Odion walk over and go "I release Bakura from the spirit" and Bakura starts dying and at this point my shipping senses start going nuts.

This duel has become a love triangle between Regular Bakura, Yami Bakura, And Yami Yugi.

But that's not important.

Bakura doesn't like this strategy because it's for cowards and he's worried Yami will attack his host. (Reasonable. The Yami he knows probably would've)

Yami meanwhile doesn't wanna attack Regular Bakura because that's his friend.

No one has told this boy to just surrender.

Yami Bakura takes control of Regular Bakura again and tells Yami to attack him

Then Yugi tells Yami that he did that because he needs Bakura, not because he liked him. (This is untrue if I believe hard enough)

Regular Bakura is knocked out and the ring is gone.

Joey vs Odion (duel 16)

Joey is talking shit.

Odion keeps setting and passing

And oh what's this?? FLASHBACK

Odion was abandoned on the door step of Marik's and Ishizu's parents. He was raised by them but never truly accepted.

He wanted the tomb keeper initiation to become accepted, but he was adopted. So that didn't happen.

DUEL

Joey's losing

FLASHBACKS

Odion was Marik's best friend and watched their mother die immediately after Marik was born.

He vowed to protect Marik.

DUEL

Odion has trap monsters and Joey is surprised by this.

A massive scorpion monster thing is summoned and Joey says

"Are you really Marik?"

Then Marik has a temper tantrum and tells Odion to summon Ra. Odion summons Ra and fucking dies.

Then Joey dies.

FLASHBACK

Odion watched as Marik got his tomb keeper initiation and afterwards he did his own initiation.

DUEL

Odion tries to get up, but he doesn't.

MEANWHILE IN JOEY DREAMLAND

Joey is having a dream about his friends helping him get ready for a tournament and he can't get up.

DUEL

Joey gets up and wins the duel.

Marik is having a migraine and then becomes Yami Marik.

Mai vs Marik (duel whatever I don't wanna check)

Marik got a fashion upgrade and looks better!!

During this duel Kaiba is edging himself waiting for Ra to be summoned.

Marik makes the duel a shadow duel and starts to erase Mai's mind.

Mai loses one memory and almost gives up immediately.

Marik continues his mind games while Joey and the gang try to help Mai out.

Mai is having non of this.

Mai steals Ra

Marik is cooking

Mai summons Ra, but Marik broke a rule because Ra is written in a foreign language without a translation.

Mai loses because she can't summon Ra and Marik attacked her, Joey, and Yami.

Final duel, Kaiba vs Ishizu

Ishizu should have won

Kaiba and Ishizu keep milling each other's deck.

Ishizu has a plan though. She saw it in her visions

Kaiba defys those visions tho and instead of summoning Obelisk, he summons the Blue Eyes White Dragon and wipes out Ishizu.

I forgot to talk about the Yami vs Strings duel

Marik is a pussy so he uses some murderer to duel

During this duel Marik is using cards like Revival Jam and Jam Breeding Machine.

He uses them to summon Slifer.

Yami is trapped in a cage.

Yami uses Revival Jam against Marik and uses it to cause Marik to lose by DECK OUT.

DECK OUT

That's embarrassing.

So yeah, I think this journey of redemption is becoming a journey of derailment instead. Wish me luck and health.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Story Arc Ranking

Elaboration from yesterday's post, plus including the Duel Monsters anime.

MANGA:

-Duelist Kingdom Arc: I strongly feel like this is the story arc where Kazuki Takahashi got just about everything right. It's where he fully fleshed out the card game to the point where it became feasible and tangible, which is why it quickly came to exist in the real world. It's where he had a perfect team dynamic going with Yugi, Yami Yugi, Jonouchi, Anzu, Honda and Bakura, with Grandpa Moto as their mentor. It's where he perfected the writing of villains and side characters, with Pegasus and his minions, Mai, Haga, Ryuzaki, Ryota, Kozuka and "Bandit" Keith all standing out. It's where Seto Kaiba came into his own as a truly interesting character and worthy rival to Yugi. It had a fantastic environment in the titular Duelist Kingdom, and a perfectly paced structure across 8 volumes. And it was also the biggest game-changer in terms of the manga's overarching narrative: expertly linking together the three arcs that had come before and setting up the three arcs that would come afterward.

-DEATH-T Arc: Takahashi's personal favorite story arc, and I can certainly see why. While it has a rough start with a bizarre one-shot chapter about virtual pets and a two-parter that while fun has little to do with games at all, once Mokuba Kaiba is introduced it follows a sequential plot about the revenge of Seto Kaiba via his deadly game tournament, DEATH-T. While it would later be topped by Duelist Kingdom's McGuffin hunting to gain access to a castle to face its king, the format of scaling the floors of a tower, facing tougher and tougher challenges in order to reach the villain at the top was a highly engaging structure. And of course, there's the unforgettable emotional development of the characters: Yugi fighting for the life of his grandfather, the famous smiley face drawing on the hands of Yugi and his friends, Honda almost sacrificing his life, Yugi breaking down and confessing that he has an alternate personality to his friends, and the tragedy of the Kaiba brothers. It's brilliant stuff. Tbh, if not for Duelist Kingdom - and for Johji's existence - this arc would be my favorite too.

-Pharaoh's Memories Arc: The only real flaw of the manga's final story arc is that due to both editorial meddling and Takahashi having a health scare, it got cut short. It's certainly well paced at 7 volumes, but its material was enough for anywhere between 8 and 10 volumes, which means that there's no avoiding the feeling that several components are missing or otherwise not as fleshed out as they could have been. But that aside, this is a fantastic culmination of everything the series has been building toward, finally letting us see Ancient Egypt and the life Yami Yugi led when he was the Pharaoh, revealing what Yami Bakura's sinister end goal is, and ending with the most logical final duel possible: Yugi vs. Yami Yugi.

-Battle City Arc: This arc is dead middle in my ranking because it has some of the highest highs of the manga and some of the lowest lows all across its incomparably lengthy run. I adore the character development for characters like Yami Yugi, Jonouchi and Kaiba, I adore the Ishtar siblings and all that they bring to the table, I love getting Shizuka as an actual character and not just a plot device, I love the advancements in the overarching narrative, and I love the majority of the duels. But at the same time, the focus on the card game officially reaches the point of exhaustion and suspension of disbelief, running around Domino City isn't particularly interesting setting-wise, too much feels derivative of Duelist Kingdom, Yami Marik is a frustrating and one-dimensional villain, and what gets done with Mai is absolutely shameful. It's an iconic story arc, but I can't call it the best...in the manga, anyway.

-RPG Arc: The actual RPG part of this arc, which serves as the introduction of Ryou Bakura and Yami Bakura and thus when the series' overarching narrative starts revving up before Duelist Kingdom sends it full throttle, is fantastic. It's hilarious seeing Yugi and his friends as miniatures in a fantasy tabletop RPG world, it's great seeing Yugi and Yami Yugi interact with each other for the first time, and Yami Bakura is an immediately iconic, charismatic foe. The problem is that the handful of one-shot chapters preceding it were pretty weak. Takahashi admitted that he was running out of ideas for games at this point, and it shows (A phone game against a Ferris Wheel car bomber? Really?) And so its score for me gets lowered.

-Dungeon Dice Monsters Arc: The shortest arc in the series meets the baseline for just "good". The game is good, the antagonists are good, the actions and development undertaken by the main characters are good, the advancements made in the overarching narrative are good, and the climax is good. It's good, but in the shadow of arcs that are great.

-School Arc: Is anyone surprised? It's the first story arc, the point where Takahashi is still trying to figure everything else and enduring all the growing pains that many series can expect to go through at the start. It's average at worst, but always showed signs of potential for something better, particularly with the bond between Yugi and Jonouchi, the existence of Yami Yugi, and the Ancient Egyptian connection; potential that would be realized later on.

ANIME:

-Battle City Arc: Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Monsters was never better than it was in Battle City. Retaining all of the manga version's strengths while eliminating or mitigating its weaknesses while also adding some new positive changes of its own, not even being interrupted by a terrible filler arc can detract from how awesome this arc is. I will forever marvel, for example, how it took one of the weakest main antagonists of the manga, Yami Marik, and turned him into an iconic, entertaining freakshow that you actually love to hate rather than find tiring.

-Duelist Kingdom Arc: I love this arc. It was my introduction to Yu-Gi-Oh!, as I suspect it was for most people. I'd love to place it first just as I did its manga counterpart, but...well, that's the thing. The manga version was the dead middle arc of the series, whereas the anime version is the first arc. As such, there are countless changes for the weaker, all sorts of instances where context has been stripped away for certain plot beats and character arcs, and adaptational plot holes aplenty. It especially falls apart after Yugi defeats Pegasus: throwing in an abbreviated version of Shadi's first appearance, then rushing out of Duelist Kingdom so that Yugi can face a bratty girl back in Domino City, and then having a mini-arc centered around a video game parody of Duelist Kingdom run by Pegasus' co-conspirators from Kaiba Corp. It's a testament to the strength of Duelist Kingdom as an arc that it still remains by and large interesting and enjoyable despite all of this. It's a very solid 2nd place.

-Dark Side of Dimensions Arc: This arc is technically in the manga's continuity, but it's got the animators and voice-actors from the anime and is in anime format so I'm including it here. I enjoy the story, which is about all of the characters, particularly Yugi and Kaiba, reacting to life without Atem. While Yugi is moving forward with a newfound independence while still accepting support from his friends, Kaiba spirals into a co-dependent madness as he tries to find a way to resurrect Atem and duel him again, coming afoul of a group of supernatural kids who don't want that to happen. The only downsides of this movie is the mixing of manga continuity and trappings of the anime leading to some dissonance (especially in regards to Jonouchi), it has an unnecessary and lame "Save the World" second climax, and all of the duels are horrendously written and rushed, clearly beyond what the film's runtime could fit.

-Orichalcos Arc: OK, I know that this arc gets a bum rap, and a lot of it is deserved since it's got a lot of problems. But I'm sorry, there's so much about it that works and is really cool, and more that while badly executed held great potential in concept. Dartz and his minions are all superbly designed and have interesting dueling gimmicks, and they could have been truly epic villains if written better. The Atlantean lore held promise and could have been connected to Duel Monsters in a more sensible way. It's great seeing Yugi and his friends go to America, and having characters like Rebecca Hawkins, her grandfather Arthur, and Maximillion goddamn Pegasus himself return. And there are so many memorable moments, especially involving Yami Yugi once he gets forcibly separated from regular Yugi for much of the arc's second half ("It should have been me, not him! It's not fair!") So I can't help but appreciate it.

-Pharaoh's Memories Arc: There are many things to like about this arc - several of the manga's strengths are retained, some new additions are good such as the expanded roles for female characters Mana and Kisara, and in the Japanese version it has a banger of an OP and a banger of an ED! But there are just too many changes for the worse for my tastes: too much that got left out and too much that got added even when it went against the point of the original, most notably Seto Kaiba's whole presence ultimately at the expense of his past life.

-KC Grand Championship Arc: This could have been a short, simple and fun filler arc: before going back to Japan, Yugi and his friends compete in a Kaiba Corp tournament held at his newly opened American theme park. Unfortunately, the writers stupidly decided that this arc needed villains, which is why we have the Von Schroeder brothers and Vivian Wong, annoying foes who just end up dragging the whole experience down. It's the peak of the anime's misuse of Jonouchi when his final duel in the series is lost to Zigfried Von Schroeder of all people. That's right, not to Yami Bakura, but a fruity German Pegasus rip-off. Weak!

-Pyramid of Light Arc: Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie has great animation, a fantastic duel between Yugi and Kaiba, the interesting concept of the titular artifact and its connection to the Millennium Puzzle, a spectacular climax, and the presence of Maximillion goddamn Pegasus, so it's got a lot going for it. Sadly, it's dragged down by a short runtime that doesn't allow the plot to be developed in the way it should, a one-dimensional villain who is hardly ever on screen and lacks a solid motivation, and a campy even-by-its-usual-standards English dub.

-Virtual World Arc: Fuck this arc. It insultingly interrupts Battle City between its quarter-finals and semi-finals, rehashes the premise and villains from the post-Duelist Kingdom video game three-parter, begins the anime version of Kaiba's transformation into this overtly sympathetic, honorable and "cool" deuteragonist that he was never meant to be, features a new badly-written and badly-designed villain in Noah Kaiba, and just drags on and on until ending on an underwhelming and nonsensical conclusion that outright undermines the development that Kaiba is supposed to have in the remainder of the Battle City arc. The only decent parts of this arc are getting to see Anzu and even Shizuka duel. Otherwise it's a huge waste of time.

-Dungeon Dice Monsters Arc: There were changes to the Duelist Kingdom, Battle City and Pharaoh's Memories arcs, but they weren't total bastardizations of their source material. This, on the other hand, is. Remember when I said its manga counterpart was the definition of just "good"? Well, this is the definition of just "bad"! Nothing about it works. It's horrendous, poisoning the well on Ryuji as a character and kick-starting the anime's Jonouchi abuse, all while the most important and emotional material is moved to the start of the Battle City arc instead. Maximillion goddamn Pegasus' flashback cameo is the only worthwhile thing here.

-Capsule Monsters Arc: Yeah, this arc's not canon. I refuse to acknowledge it.

Drame à l’Estère : une école attaquée par les bandits criminels, plusieurs élèves et un parent blessés

Le sang ne cesse de couler au niveau du département de l’Artibonite, une zone en proie aux violences perpétrées par les gangs armés criminels. Ce lundi après-midi, des bandits circulant à moto ont attaqué une école à l’Estère. Plusieurs victimes ont été recensés parmi les élèves et un parent. Après le carnage à Pont-Sondé en début du mois, c’est maintenant à l’Estère, dans le Bas-Artibonite que…

La Kustom Culture expliquée pour les nuls ! :)

c'est quoi?

La Kustom culture regroupe les machines qui ont été modifiées de toutes pièces par la main de l'homme pour les rendre unique. La bidouille si l'on veut. Mais pourquoi ? Née très tôt dans les années 20 avec le hot rodding aux USA, les mecs et filles se sont attaqués aussi aux motos pour améliorer les performances de vitesse d'abord et les fiabiliser. La customisation de style apparaît donc car les engins ne ressemblent plus au modèle d'origine. 

Peintures et surnoms apparaissent sur les carrosseries pour personnaliser sa monture. Le style Cut down chez Harley et le style bobber sont les plus connus et anciens. Le bobber toujours à la mode, véritable customisation de style voulue par ses créateurs pour se démarquer après-guerre (39-45) plus légère, plus de bruit, l'arrière est réduit, coupé (Bob tail), les gardes boue retirés et les peinture flamboyantes, une machine customisée et personnelle.

Ces modifications se font sur une base ancienne ou nouvelle selon les goûts. Le but avoir son engin unique, rien qu'a soi, de la couleur qu'on aime.

Aujourd'hui, un engouement de passionnés de la Kustom culture se créent pour ses valeurs authentiques et anti-conformistes surtout aux USA et au Japon, mais ce lifestyle s'étend depuis de nombreuses années en Europe et en France.

Des garages se sont établis et des maîtres de cette discipline exercent dans le monde entier pour conseiller et créer votre engin à vous. Il y a aussi ceux qui l'exercent comme hobbie, seul ou à plusieurs, hommes et femmes ;). 

On répertorie aujourd'hui plusieurs styles qui sont catégorisés au fil du temps : Chopper, Bobber, Brat style, Scrambler, Cafe racer... à vous de choisir. 

Il existe des centaines de rassemblements aujourd’hui comme Le Trip out en Angleterre pour la catégorie Choppers, The Roll the bones au Canada tous styles confondus...

La discipline du Pin striping notamment, peindre à son goût la carrosserie est une des bases de cette culture. Nous pouvons citer l'un des plus connus des pin stripeur, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. Il était un artiste, dessinateur, illustrateur, concepteur et constructeur de voitures customs qui a créé l'icône hot rod Rat Fink et d'autres personnages. Roth a été un personnage clé de la Kustom Kulture et du mouvement Hot Rod dans le Sud de la Californie à la fin des années 1950 et 1960.

Arlen Ness, l'un des maîtres du Kustom, qui créa les plus belles motos.

La marque Von Dutch avec son logo œil créé aussi par un Pinstripeur Kenny Howard dans les années 30.

Au-delà de la machine, la Kustom culture regroupe ainsi les personnes qui la fabriquent et en font maintenant son apologie : magazines, dessinateurs, tatoueurs, modeux , gangs, créateurs d'événements de la communauté Kustom.

Cette sous-culture car anti-conformiste, je veux être différent des autres, est une sorte de répertoire de DIY de la mécanique. Elle regroupe les motos, mais aussi les voitures, les mobs ou les vélos et nous rajoutons le skate et les vêtements qui ont été personnalisés par leur propriétaire et qui les deviendront

La kustom culture avec un K regroupe des millions d'engins modifiés et des créateurs depuis plus de 100 ans. 

Nous aimons explorer cette culture surprenante et vous la faire partager. Soyez uniques !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“NEVER MET! (feat. Glitch Gum)” — by [CMTEN]

”Next Exit” — by [Vacations]

↑ five random songs that i really like.

i chose songs that i think not many people would know. like uncommon songs i guess. (i feel like very few people would know these songs. it would be awesome to know that someone does know them though.)

this may show how many different moods of music i enjoy. my music taste is pretty bipolar.
