What Your Favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds Girl Says About You

[Main Girls Only][DM][GX]

Aki Izayoi/Akiza Izinski (likes the second half of the series): You are pretty chill, and almost definitely a Faithshipper. You’re very fond of doing all kinds of scenarios of their first meeting. You write at least one thing per day appreciating her development. You really, really like the rollerskates episode. Even if it could have been better, you still love Yusei giving her Stardust. You get really sad during the ending, but you know in your heart of hearts that they definitely kissed offscreen.

Aki Izayoi/Akiza Izinski (dislikes the second half of the series): You got the taste of a girl who was straight-up unhinged, and you've been chasing that high ever since. You find bondage jokes incredibly funny. You have at least one very strong opinion about Crow. Despite your feelings on the second half (most of which can be described as "seething"), you have a soft spot for Sherry. To this day, her battle theme still generates a Pavlovian response of swooning tears in you.

Ruka/Luna: Your soul aches every day for her wasted potential. You started reading the manga the moment you saw scans of how it did her. You were very surprised when Ancient Fairy Dragon got banned. You have edited characters to be wearing flower crowns at least once. You’re still not quite sure what to think about her brother, but you definitely wish Life Stream had showed up earlier. You spent eighty episodes waiting for a followup for the end of Ep. 67, and are still waiting.

Carly Nagisa/Carly Carmine: You are a Scoopshipper, with no questions asked. You were utterly horrified when you found out about the cult thing (even if your source may have been somewhat inaccurate). You refuse to rewatch the second half of the series, and have devoted lengthy fanfics to what really happened afterward. You aren’t sure if you like nerds or goths, and you’re glad you don’t have to choose. You have tried to do Fortune Fairy-based readings in real life.

Misty Lola/Misty Tredwell: You may be into Isolationshipping or you may be into Omenshipping, but regardless of where you fall, you are certain she loves women. You saw that bit where she cradles Carly’s face and went “god, that girl is lucky.” Your favorite part of the whole DS arc was when she has Ccaryhua swallow Divine whole. You are very, very angry she’s not in Duel Links yet. (Like, I wrote this in 2021 originally, and she's still not in it? What?)

Sherry LeBlanc: You actually don’t hate the second half, but it’s largely due to her. You have either watched Revolutionary Girl Utena, or have been told several times that you should watch it. You may not be a Roseknightshipper, but you definitely have an LGBT headcanon. You have mixed feelings about how her arc ended, and would have preferred if the entire season was just her running around kicking stuff.

Martha: You hate every single other parent in every other series because you have seen her episodes and beheld a standard none have yet lived up to. She takes no shit, she's a rain of sunlight in a land of misery, she sacrifices herself tragically. Why the fuck did she barely appear after Dark Signers? You just want to talk to the person who made that decision, you say while loading a shotgun.

Mikage Sagiri/Mina Simington: You may be a Careshipper whose favorite arc is Fortune Cup, or an Ushio/Mikage shipper whose favorite arc is Dark Signers. Either way, you just really, really like office ladies, okay? You either think she's cute, relate to her beleaguered nature, or both. Also, did you know there's no ship name for Ushio/Mikage? I didn't until recently, but you definitely do.

Stephanie: Man, you picked the biggest third wheel in the entire franchise and a woman who only appears in the second half to be your fave, huh? That takes a lot of guts. And to my immense surprise, despite her entire existence being "waitress" and "one-note obsession with Jack Atlas", you have decided your OTP with her is Carly. Rock on, Stephanie fans, you make the world brighter.

Misaki: You decided to go dumpster-diving in the video games and found a gem. You understand that the only thing that could have made Bruno's arc better is if he was also Rei Ayanami. The bit at the end where she finally smiles melted your heart like butter in the sunrise. You insist Watts are underrated. You sadly know deep down that there's a reason the only female Yliaster member is non-canon.

Oh, can you do the “show/movie/fandom and I’ll tell you" thing with DM, GX, and 5D’s? :3

*CRACKS KNUCKLES* SURE CAN!!! I also love talking about the OG3. 

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters

my favorite female character: THE DANCING QUEEN, ANZU MAZAKI!

my favorite male character: Yugi Muto!! But Jounouchi is def a close second. 

my favorite book/season/etc: ok if we’re excluding filler arcs, then it’s hands-down the Pharaoh’s Memory arc. But if we’re including them, the KCGP arc will always be my fave arc of YGO DM and y’all can’t change my mind. That arc was so much fun and such a breath of fresh air after Doma lmao. 

my favorite episode (if its a tv show): ugh there are so many... Kaiba helping out Yami in that duel with that Kaiba lookalike Player Killer... Yami vs that Panic guy (I forget his Japanese name lmao)... when Yugi suggested that he and Yami switch places to confuse Pegasus...Jounouchi vs Kajiki....Jounouchi vs Espa Roba....when Aknamkanon showed up from the spirit world to protect his son...when Yugi used Gandora for the first time...that final part of the battle against Zorc when Atem remembers his name....when Yugi defeated the Egyptian God cards... lmao. 

my favorite cast member: Kenjirou Tsuda hands down lmao. His performance as Kaiba? Excellent. 

my favorite ship: Puzzleshipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a character I’d die defending: Yugi Muto. And Anzu Mazaki. 

a character I just can’t sympathize with: Yami Bakura? Like the fandom is absolutely enamored with this guy and I’m like “??? but why.” 

a character I grew to love: Seto Kaiba lmao. I legit hated him when I was a kid. And then I grew up and basically realized I grew up to be English dub Seto Kaiba so ya know that’s cool. 

my anti otp: It’s a ship I actually used to like, but Puppyshipping (Seto Kaiba x Jounouchi). Like after my DM rewatch, I just can’t get on that ship anymore lmao. Also I have other “anti-OTPs” from DM, but that’s the only one at the top of my head atm. 

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

my favorite female character: Rei Saotome tbh lmao. Even tho I really don’t talk about her a lot, but she’s just such a gem. 

my favorite male character: MARUFUJI SHO!!!!! So proud of this boy. 

my favorite book/season/etc: The latter half of S1 tbh. Like, all the other seasons are chill and all (tho I have problems with S4 lmao), but the latter half of S1 was definitely my fave. I do plan on rewatching GX in the near future tho (since I’ve only actually seen it all the way through once), so that might change. 

my favorite episode (if its a tv show): hey remember when Jim Crocodile Cook saved Yuki Judai and therefore YGO GX? ‘cause I sure as hell do. Thank u Jim. 

my favorite cast member: KENN KENN KENN KENN KENN. Also Taiki Matsuno was a gem as Manjoume too. 

my favorite ship: SPIRITSHIPPING!!!!!

a character I’d die defending: Manjoume Jun. Marufuji Shou. Rei Saotome. yeah. 

a character I just can’t sympathize with: that Cobra guy? yeah fuck him. also Darkness with his ugly ass face can take a hike.

a character I grew to love: Manjoume Jun tbh lmao. I remember when GX first aired, I really couldn’t stand this guy. But then, when I actually watched GX properly for the first time two years ago (it’s been two years already....damn....), I dunno. I saw him differently and decided I really liked him lmao. 

my anti otp: Judai x Asuka. No. Just. No no no no. No thank you. 

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s (MY FAVE!!!!!) 

my favorite female character: Izayoi Aki, the Black Rose Queen

my favorite male character: I mean, I’m sure it doesn’t need to be said, but I’m gonna say it anyway: CROW HOGAN-SAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my favorite book/season/etc: The Dark Signer arc yo. Tho the Ark Cradle arc is a REAL close second. 

my favorite episode (if its a tv show): BUT I HAVE SO MANY LMAO!!!! Let’s see...

Pre-Fortune Cup Arc: when Yusei beat Himuro Jin (that pro-duelist dude) using Yanagi’s deck and they became bros. But then 5D’s forgot about that rip. 

Fortune Cup Arc: Yusei vs Aki was top-notch. “YOU HAVE TO THINK FOR YOURSELF.” gets me every time. 

Dark Signer Arc: Crow-sama’s debut episode, Dr. Fudo’s debut episode, Crow-sama vs Bommer, Yusei vs Kiryu R2, Jack vs Carly, that episode where Divine gets eaten God bless, that episode where Crow-sama was like “even if our life points are at 1, our hopes are at 10,000 points.” yeah.  

Pre-WRGP Arc: “I came to fix something called a Heitmann.”, that episode where Yusei got kidnapped and Aki took things into her own hands, the episode where chibi Crow-sama became official, THE ENTIRE CRASHTOWN ARC

WRGP Arc: CUP RAMEN MAN CROW-SAMA!!!!!!, when Crow-sama decided to avenge Aki after she crashed like he did (MY HEART!!!!), Crow-sama vs Brave, Yusei vs Harald, Yusei vs Jose/Aporia

Ark Cradle Arc: Crow-sama and Aki vs Sherry, Aporia vs Z-ONE, Yusei vs Z-ONE (especially the episode where Dr. Fudo gave the slap that could be heard in the next dimension lmao) 

my favorite cast member: SHINTARO ASANUMA!!!!! also Miyashita Yuya, Takanori Hoshino (especially with all the episodes Jack talked about CUP RAMEN!!! like kudos dude) and Ayumi Kinoshita. 

my favorite ship: I’m a hardcore Firebird (Crow-sama x Aki) shipper at this point so it’s my current top ship lmao. But, I also love Yusei x Bruno, Jack x Carly, Jack x Kazama, Crow-sama x Brave, and Yusei x Kiryu tho.

a character I’d die defending: Crow Hogan-sama, Izayoi Aki, Ruka, and Yusei lmao

a character I just can’t sympathize with: DIVINE CAN BURN IN THE FIRES OF HELL!!!!! also I don’t care much for Zora and Leo either like they were so annoying. how is Martha friends with such annoying people I don’t get it. 

a character I grew to love: many, MANY characters fall under this category, but one character is definitely Carly Nagisa. She drove me nuts with her Jack obsession when I first watched 5D’s, but then the duel with Divine happened and . . . yeah. 

my anti otp: I really don’t hate this ship as much as I used to thanks to my 5D’s rewatch, but...... F//aithshipping. It was a perfectly fine ship in the Fortune Cup and Dark Signer arcs, but then 5D’s continued on after that and any implication of the ship just made me want to cry. of sadness. b/c it was SO FORCED!!!!  

THANK U FAM!!!!!

fill me up with red wine & i'm yours

series: yugioh 5ds ship: divine/carly nagisa characters: divine, carly nagisa notes: @ygoadvent day 7 - mulled wine. for divcarly nation (population: me and my fiancee)

read on ao3 | tip me on kofi | commissions are open

Somehow, she had a feeling Divine was on about more than just the wine – something that looked like it shouldn’t be sweet but is.

This really was against all better judgment. The last time Carly had been alone with the man… Well, she wasn’t sure what had happened, but she could guess it was something absolutely awful. And yet, when she saw him stood by the sink, staring absently out the window, she found herself entranced, stepping closer and closing the door behind her.

Divine glanced back at her, freezing with a conflicted look in his eye. He didn’t speak, instead sipping at his drink, as though to gain some liquid confidence. It was only when he returned to staring out the frosted glass that he was able to say anything at all. “I’m sorry.”

She quietly poured herself a glass, her eyes lingering on him. He sounded genuine, even if she couldn’t confirm it. Part of her wondered if she was simply too trusting. Her voice sounded weak when she finally replied, “I forgive you.” Did she know what she was forgiving?

He just sighed, and she hovered near him, taking a swig of her own drink. It wasn’t what she had been expecting, and she almost spat it out in surprise. It wasn’t bad by any means – it was sweet, and she loved sweet – but she realised it was silly to take it without even asking what it was.

“Don’t like it?” He had turned away from the window now, watching her with the slightest hint of amusement on his face, “It’s mulled wine.”

Carly supposed it made sense that he knew what it was; he certainly looked like he did. She lifted her glass to smell it, as though suspicious, before trying it again. Now that she expected it, it wasn’t so bad. “Hm. It’s kinda nice, I guess. Just a lot sweeter than I thought!”

When she made eye contact with him, she found herself thankful for the slight barrier of her glasses. It helped with the way her eyes widened, nor with the butterflies that she couldn’t explain. Maybe she was tipsy – though she had only had a tiny bit. No, that didn’t make any sense.

“Yeah, it does that.” He finished his drink, and she became very aware of how small the kitchen was. “Deceptively sweet.”

Somehow, she had a feeling Divine was on about more than just the wine – something that looked like it shouldn’t be sweet but is. Was he… flirting?

She took another sip, and it seemed to steady the nerves bundling together in her core. “Sounds like someone else I know.” She turned her head away, squeezing her eyes shut as she spoke. It sounded silly – it felt silly – but the look on his face when she finally turned back around was enough to make it worth it.

She had never seen a man so red in the face, blinking incredulously at her – it seemed he hadn’t been trying to flirt, and she had stepped over the threshold without thinking twice. But… Well, he was smiling, and he shook his head. “Don’t be silly, darling. Nothing sweet about me.”

The act of cheating death had long since fascinated her.

read on ao3

When Carly stood before her, Divine thought she had finally lost it. She had fallen too far to ever survive it, and yet she stood in her office, smirking with blackened eyes and no sign of any damage.

If she wasn’t being backed out of the door by strange monsters, she would be intrigued. The act of cheating death had long since fascinated her, but she thought it was a myth. And now, the proof was right in front of her, reaching out a hand to pull her into the darkness.

She didn’t even notice as she was pushed against the railing.
