Yu-Gi-Oh Seal of Orichalcos AU

I was rewatching Yu-Gi-Oh yesterday. And when I was at the Orichalcos arc, after Atem lost the duel against Raphael and Yugi sacrifices himself to save Atem from being taken by the seal. I thought. Damn it would be so cool and make the stakes higher if Atem started to slowly revert himself back into his season 0 self. Without Yugi, his guiding light, he starts to lose himself into the darkness once again.

He becomes more introverted, he starting to smile that scares the shit out of everyone, his hair wilder and eyes is no longer human. They are now filled with purple flames from the darkest path of underworld.

During his battle against Wevil. He had secretly started a shadow game when Wevil lied about having Yugi's soul! And was this close to tearing Wevil soul apart with berserker soul as punishment if it werent for Thea stopping him.

And this is when she saw what was happening to Atem.

There's a scene in the Orichalcos arc where Weevil taunts Atem with a card he claims can save Yugi before ripping it in front of him and Atem loses his shit and proceeds to beat the fuck out of him by having his monsters attack him 7 times, and probably would've gone for more if Anzu hadn't stopped him

I've seen many theories saying that these 7 hits were for the 5 exodia cards Weevil threw off the ship with the last two hits being for the two cards Joey risked his life to save. But I call bullshit on that and propose this:

Amnesiac or not, numbers have a lot of importance in various mythologies and cultures worldwide. In Irish myth, you'll see a lot of 3's and 9's. In Egyptian lore one of the numbers most present is 7. In this moment of rage fuelled grief, I fully believe Atem instinctually regressed to his pharaoh days and was doling out a divine punishment on Weevil. If he had continued attacking, I think he would've capped off at 14 hits, the exact number of body parts that the god Seth cut Osiris into so he could be scattered all over Egypt - 7 body parts in upper Egypt and 7 more in lower Egypt

In this moment, Atem starts off as the grieving Isis desperately willing to do anything to bring her lover [Osiris] back from the dead but the second Weevil rips up the card, he becomes the angry Seth who cuts Osiris into pieces in the first place. Because if Anzu hadn't stopped him he may well have fallen to his own rage and the seal itself and never been able to get Yugi back as a result

Thank you for coming to my short essay on mythology symbolism and how it applies to Atem, the pharaoh of egypt himself *drops mic and walks off stage*

Yusei can speak computer and Alister can impersonate anyone

Both Crow and Valon are short tempered but kind, often getting hurt because of their actions.

Jack has a royalty complex and Rafael has a honor or destiny complex.

And both deal with divine powers beyond human comprehension. (i.e; The Crimson Dragon and Earthbound Immortals, The Great Leviathan and Orichalcos.)

"you'll finally have a villain worth fighting, and i won't be just a joke to you."

look a quote from atsv really got to me okay. just HEAR ME OUT (stills under the cut)

[enneadau]

I finally have a name for the Orichalcos Arc...

Apollumi is a Greek word that means "to destroy" or "to perish". It can also mean "to lose" or "to be lost".

Just a little food for thought... (photo edited to remove AI generated temple in the background)
