#thats what it do yugi!

[krakenshaped]

Alright I've had like 5 hours of sleep but it's fine, let's talk about the parallels between Ryo Marufuji and D.D, the importance of Sho Marufuji to the themes GX tries to convey - whether you wanna admit of not - and as our queen Gaga describes it: The Fame Machine™️

More under read more

So. On one hand. Ryo Marufuji. He's truly a specimen. A divisive and fascinating character. He's the embodiment of a downward spiral that only gets more and more dire as the series goes on. On the other, D.D. Edo Phoenix' narcissistic adoptive father. These two shouldn't really have any correlation, after all while Ryo and Edo have their conflict, Ryo has nothing to do with D.D or Edo's character arc during the finale of season 2.

Except that D.D's backstory lines up relatively well with Ryo's descent to Hell Kaiserhood. It's just that D.D went the extra mile. And in the end it says a lot about GX's minor themes - that being an exploration of what it means to be successful, how negative influences in your childhood can affect you and liberating yourself from those negative influences.

Let's dive a little bit more into themes. Because all media have themes and purposes no matter how mundane and pointless those purposes are. While ygo GX's purposes is undoubtedly to sell trading cards to teens, its main theme centres around growing up - something a lot of the shounen's primary demographic will heavily relate to. Yugioh GX is a coming of age story about a schoolboy and his friends as they explore the world and grow and change, their pursuit for success and glory and the grief of losing your naive view on the world but coming out a stronger, better person because of it. A lot of that is explored via character arcs and sub-themes, such as Manjoume's season 1 character arc emphasising how much toxic/abusive family members can change and affect how you present yourself to the world and the liberation that comes with cutting them off. Similarly, D.D contributes to this theme via his treatment of Edo and the role he plays in Edo's story as well as weaving a cautionary tale of what can happen to a person when they become so desperate for fame and success that they change permanently for the worse.

But Ryo also follows this theme. Not to the same extreme or in the exact same way, but he does.

Ryo Marufuji starts the series as a 3rd year high school student - just on the cusp of graduation. He's the top of his class. He has it all. He was handpicked and trained by his mentor and trusted with cards of sacred value - ultimately promised success. And did he work hard for that success. He worked so hard he isolated himself from his family and spent every waking moment in the mountains, training.

And then he graduates. His debut duel is with Edo Phoenix. The cycle begins.

Edo crushes Ryo. As in completely destroys him. Nukes him. Ryo doesn't even have a chance. Humiliates him publicly just because he can. Behaviour he learned from D.D - to crush all threats to your career underfoot because nothing else matters. Ryo goes down a spiral. He flunks so hard from the pro leagues he falls all the way down to where even amateurs mock him. He's become the laughing stock of the dueling industry. He hits the underground dueling ring. He has a truly horrific, traumatising experience where he's almost electrocuted to death on top of being humiliated once more. And he comes out a different person. A person who has abandoned all moral compass and dignity and cares only about one thing.

Success.

The cycle has passed from D.D's narcissistic treatment of Edo, to Edo' learned behaviours, to Ryo's Hell Kaiser transformation. In mere episodes to come, Ryo would carry on this cycle in his treatment of Sho, attempting to humiliate, crush and ultimately severely injure him. Even if this act was in an attempt to scare Sho out the entertainment industry, he has contributed to the cycle of abuse and has attempted to inflict his learned ideals of "nothing but success/victory matters anymore". It's this duel that D.D and Ryo truly become parallels.

Like how D.D goes mad over fame, stole precious cards and begins to manipulate and emotionally abuse Edo, Ryo (through Edo's influence) does the same. He goes mad over fame and power, steals the cyberdarks, and comes back to berate and hurt Sho.

The major difference between D.D and Edo vs Ryo and Sho is that while Edo doesn't break the cycle until the damage has been done, Sho manages to successfully break this cycle from the start. Even if he comes out of it zapped half to death and degraded beyond belief, he refuses to let go of the way of life Ryo taught him before he fell from grace. That respect is of utmost importantance.

And when the time comes when Ryo faces the consequences of his insane new lifestyle, Sho steps up to take care of him despite how vile Ryo was to him. Sho takes that step to try and heal their relationship. The cycle of abuse ended with him. And Ryo begins his own personal healing journey as a result. It shows Sho's inner strength - strength he earned from trial and error through the show. Because it takes a lot to break that cycle - after all. Look at Edo.

Honestly if GX was a seinen instead of a shounen and these themes were dwelled into a little more it could have been so profound. Whether the parallel was there on purpose or not, I think they had a good idea going for it if only they went into a little more detail. I could talk about Ryo and how STRANGE his character arc is for an anime who's demographic is like 13-16 year olds or something with his weird exploration of trauma, being failed by the education system (especially as a character that's autistic coded) and weirdly enough?? Borderline hypersexuality?? (That is its OWN can of worms which will require trigger warnings relating to S/H and im not getting into that here, I've rambled enough)

GX is a fucking drug trip.

I SUMMON POT OF GREED TO DRAW 3 ADDITIONAL CARDS FROM MY DECK!!!!

THINK FAST CHUCKLENUTS

[elizabethzoopzoop986]

How I THINK the tbhk characters would feel about imaginary numbers

Hanako- “isn’t this math why are there letters” ass kid

Nene- ????? So confused, they give her a head ache

Kou- thinks that the one 3D graph he was shown was cool looking, does not get it

Aoi- Gets them, does not like them, I think they light a rage in her soul more than they should

Mitsuba- why would I have an opinion on a math concept???? What??

Akane- Enjoys math and imagery numbers more than one probably should (got sad when the teacher said to ignore them because we don’t go into 3D in highschool(and honestly disappointed in himself that he thinks there so cool and fun))

Teru- can use them, understands them, thinks they’re difficulty is overhyped. Does not think about them after they are one the test

Tsukasa- “WHAt????!?!?? Can I eat it!!?!!?”

Natsuhiko- “How are numbers even imaginary… what does that even mean??”

Sakura- could learn them and use them, but does not care to bother herself with that

[qiekzart]

drew that one guy from yugioh

[plz reblog]

[romanceddawn]

the beginning of this part where seto's all business-y and has cool security around him makes you think hes so mature but then he throws a literal tantrum and it reminds you "oh right this is a teenage boy who just came out of a coma. huh."

[nekucreates]

The Yami Bakura vs Yami Yugi duel goes a bit differently from the anime, and both versions are really cool! And I'm always going to be wishing that we could have seen Yami Bakura actually win, but no one can beat magical cheating, Yami Yugi's 'luck' to draw the exact card he needed to win this duel.

Just got back from John Tracy's astrophysics guest lecture at Oxford uni :D he was so nice and really interesting - I had no idea he'd studied there either! He brought his own holographic software for the presentation though which was kinda weird because the computer interface seemed to insult people in the front row every now and again?? Maybe the program was glitching idk but it was pretty funny 🤣

hi!! can i ask for hanako, kou, tsukasa, nene, teru, and sakura reacting to y/n who bops their head like they're listening to music when they're happy? like there could be dead silence and then we have y/n bopping their head happily. and if its not too much to ask can it be a gn y/n? im so sorry for the long ask <//3 if u dont wanna take this request thats fine! love ur work :D! - 🐝

Hello my first emoji ayon! Apologies for this being late. This was also the only image I could find with all of them.

Hanako/Amane Yugi

-He finds it cute.

-Honestly, he really likes it since he can tease about it later.

-Every once in a while he'll float over to you and lift the headphones out or lightly tug on your earbuds to pull them out.

-"Whatchu listening to?" He asks.

-He's not really looking for answer, he just wants your attention.

-If you close your eyes while listening, he'll go in for a kiss just to see your surprised face.

-If you wear earbuds he'll ask if you can share.

-If you're ok with it, he gives comments about the music you listen to.

Nene Yashiro

-Honestly, she doesn't really judge you since she's just so happy she actully got a relationship, so when she sees you listening to music and bopping your head, she doesn't mind.

-She might every once in a while ask what song it is.

-If she knows the song she'll either talk about it or fawn over the band members/singer.

-You introduced her to a lot of diffrent types of music along with new bands and singers.

-Every once in a while she gets a sticky notes and writes songs she likes so you can listen to them. (Along with a few doodles in the corner.)

Kou Minamoto

-He's concerned.

-He thinks you're going to hit your head or something else since your not really paying attention to your surroundings.

-He usually has a hand wrapped around your waist just to make sure your safe.

-If you offer to listen to music with him, he'll accept. Perhaps you could dance together.

-I don't think he'd be a very good dancer so you might have to teach him if you know.

-If neither of you know, well you can just look like two idiots having fun.

-When you two dance im the school (if ever) Hanako is going to intervene. He'll probably trip Kou so he'll fall on you making him look like a pervert. And nobody else can see Hanako so they Kou is in the wrong.

-Hanako truly doesn't mean any harm by it, he's just trying to poke some fun.

-As long as you tell Kou he doesn't need to worry about you and you can handle your surroundings, he's a lot more comfortable.

Teru Minamoto

-Same thing with his brother, he worries you're going to get hurt and tries to avoid anything happening to you.

-He always had a ton of fangirls and the fact he choose means you matter to him more than you could imagine. (Same thing with his fans if you know what I mean.)

-He might even go as far as taking you things away if you don't listen to him.

-Don't worry, just give him puppy dog eyes and he'll give in faster than the speed of sound.

-Or cry, if you can cry on command good lord. He HATES to see a person he cares for in pain, so he'll do almost anything to make it stop.

-If you walk around while listening to music, he's right behind you with his hands on your shoulders to make sure you're safe. This does not change if your eyes are open.

-And if you do happen to have someone bump into you, are they going to have an earful from your boyfriend.

-So, just be careful around him and when you listen to music.

Sakura Nanamie

-It doesn't bother her in the slightest.

-She enjoys the stillness of sound, she's usually caught up with Tsukasa being loud, so just being in the same room as you, but not talking makes her enjoy these times together.

-She knows your not paying attention so she sometimes go up behind you and give a little kiss on your cheek. (Or on the lips depending on how far the relationship has gone.)

-When she wants your attention for either a question or because she simply wants affection, she'll lightly tap your shoulder or rub the back of your hand.

-She ALWAYS asks if you can give her attention beforehand, since she is very much aware of what it's like for someone to be forced into it.

-This also makes it very rare for her to ask for anything, but I'm getting off track.

-It's not a huge part of her life but she still thinks it kinda cute you do it

Tsukasa Yugi

-All he can think is, "Perfect opportunity".

-You're distracted AND can't hear him. He wants to prank or surprise you as much as possible. Having your attention on something else other than him (Which he is a bit offended by) Gives him the chance to shock you.

-At this point, it's not as surprising. The most shocking part is what he tries and do to gain your focus.

-He's given you things he's killed, which the offer is nice, the corpse is not.

-He'll incessantly bother you asking if he can listen to music with you.

-If you refuse, he'll do one of three things.

- 1. Continue to cry and complain

- 2. Take whatever you're listening to music on.

- 3. Get Sakura involved. Which ends up with your device getting confiscated.

-As fun as it is to mess with you, he gets super annoyed if you ignore him completely. And that leads to one of the items above.

-Just as long as you devote your time to mostly him, he's fine with whatever else you do.

BEST YGO GIRL: SEMI FINALS

Match 2

please use this as an opportunity to say why you like a character, not why you don't.

Propaganda under the cut!

Isis Ishtar

gorgeous, very caring sister, strong duelist, and the only woman to ever make Seto Kaiba squirm

anyways. not only as mentioned above is she the first woman to make kaiba squirm, but she was by all means going to beat him if not for the millennium rod's millennium interference. yami marik admits that she's a strong duelist with a strategy that's been working for literal years-- and given that she's not like, a professional duelist, thats pretty impressive

she also recently got some really cool meta bumps and let me point out that an "ishizu deck" now includes obelisk the tormentor-- which we knew she had prior to giving it to kaiba, but i think it only solidifies my opinion that she very much could wield an Egyptian God Card, an exclusive little club for top tier duelists

as a character she presents herself with an amazing amount of poise and grace, shes compassionate and kind and stays with mai and serenity even though she only just met them. shes struggling through living the past 5 years of her life drowning in guilt for her family's tragedy just because she wanted to make her little brother happy and shadi is a fucking liar. shes foretold her own death and marches towards it grimly but with so much love in her heart. and even then shes 20 years old and holds an important position in the egyptian government that typically requires a doctorate degree AND has been dealing with mariks off-and-on bullshit entirely by her lonesome. she also likes to flex her fortunetelling a little which is awesome i think she should do that more that scene where she tells the guy exactly how the stele is being transported was so everything

speaking of shes got such an attitude. "is it your destiny to waste my time?" iconic. never seen before will never be seen again. watch the duel between her va and joeys its so fucking funny

shes excult. shes doesnt flinch in the face of god nor death. seto kaiba and yami marik respect her. shes so sad and so sweet and battle city couldnt have happened without her.

also her parallels with kaiba are what motivate kaiba to give yugi the card he needed to beat marik.

kaiba, in duelist kingdom, was ready to jump off a ledge if yugi didnt let him through to face pegasus while trying to save mokuba out of sheer desperation to save his little brother. he KNOWS what that dedication feels like and the iron kind of will you need to have to make that kind of gamble. isis is being so fucking legit with what shes saying and he respects that and her judgement enough to change his mind and not only watch the duel, but give yugi a card that eventually helps him win, even if he has no real confidence in the odds. but theres a CHANCE, which is the same thing he taught her when he beat her in a duel. the layers its her faith that moves him to act. which is so crazy

anyway vote isis shes my best friend forever and a real rep for all the 20 year olds who honest to god did not sign up for this bullshit

Aki Izayoi

An abuse victim who isn't the perfect passive figure but gets to work through her complicated feelings about power, agency, and family. Even with Yusei's help, she is the star of the show when she learns to control her powers and reconciles with her father, it is so fun that a ygo heroine gets to take such an antagonistic role bu not be shamed for her anger

please vote for my main girl, aki izayoi. aki was led to believe she was a monster from a young age by her father, who treated her powers like it made her unworthy of love. as a result, divine was able to swoop in and take advantage of aki's low self esteem. for years, aki believed herself unworthy of love and was molded into a living weapon at the hands of authority figures in her life. she was taken advantage of, and thus when she finally comes face to face with yusei, she refuses to believe he could provide her with unconditional friendship. who would want to be around a monster, after all?

aki also nearly beats yusei TWICE in a duel, bringing it down to a single turn difference. she comes toe to toe with him, and it truly is the result of who dueled better. she remains a fierce duelist, btw. the second season, aki gets her duel runner license, and immediately nearly beats the ass of a tournament winning turbo duelist - to the point where once again, a single card is the deciding factor. that's right: she nearly won. if not for a single trap card, aki izayoi would've won.

a fierce duelist who was shaped into a loving, caring woman despite years of being beaten down by the world: aki izayoi. vote for her now on your phones.

[faerishv]

bee anon is back at it again. tsukasa and hanako pining over y/n..i beg (+ hanako or tsukasa ending up being the one with y/n, or neither/someone else, thats cool too!!) - 🐝

pining over you

; hanako and tsukasa :

W rizz

L luck for getting both of them to be pining over you

honestly the first one who got impressed by you was hanako

then when tsukasa heard of it he wanted to take a look at you ( get rid of you :3 )

before he could do something he got mesmerized too

good luck

if it was just hanako it could've gone much better

but tsukasa wanted to piss him off a little

so he kidnapped you .. and introduced yourself

by the time yall passed togheter he realized he actually wanted to be with you , not just for pissing off amane

then hanako went to rescue you and from then he became more protective of you

his psychopath brother wanted you for himself ?

hell naw

he sure told you how much he was dangerous so that you would stay away from tsukasa

that didn't stop him from visiting you tho

time passed and tsukasa was tired of just playing around

he wanted you for himself , and he always gets what he wants

hanako wouldn't let that happen

in the end they were practically suffocating you

but it was too late to get them off of you

the only thing you can do its choose one of them

or they'll choose for you instead.

overall its never a good thing if one of the yugi brothers gets possessive of you

SO, FELLOW DUEL LINKS LORE ENTHUSIAST—

GHOST GAL EVENT WAS SURE SOMETHING???? AAAAAAAAAAAA?????

YEAH. YEAH. UH. HM. HMMM. AH.

THAT EPILOGUE CUTSCENE HUH!!!!!!!!

[i wasnt able to screenshot fast enough to catch all of them but the lil flashes in between the vrains cast did show all the other yutags too, including yuga! <:)]

OK!!!!!! OK COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [also the fact the music that plays over this scene is JUST the duel links start menu screen music is SO good. 4th wall really rattling a bit at its seams.]

LIKE. ZOO WEE MAMA. THIS IS A CATEGORY 5 HURRICANE OF A LORE DROP HUH!!! A.) ok so now we have the VRAINS crew made aware of the fact there are other dimensions full of other Duelists in this virtual realm with them. cool cool COOL COOL!!! But furthermore B.) OH OK SO ALL THOSE UNLOCK EVENTS WITH CHARACTERS WHO SHOULDNT BE ALIVE??? ALL THOSE INSTANCES OF CHARACTERS BEING HERE WHEN IT SHOULDNT BE POSSIBLE??? All of those moments of DL denizen memories being read and recreated?? that's just A SIDE EFFECT. OF THE ACTUAL INNER WORKINGS OF SETO KAIBA'S WILD RIDE. DUEL LINKS IS ACTUALLY LINKING AN UNTOLD NUMBER OF CONSCIOUSNESSES ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE, FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON weaving these dimensions and their inhabitants (living AND dead) together in the process, potentially irreversibly. Linking their subconscious thoughts together and creating a virtual playground from the resulting slurry. I'd call it a hivemind BUT IT'S NOT EVEN THAT. IT'S SOMETHING EVEN WEIRDER. The minds of dozens of Yugioh characters being linked together but keeping the individual intact. And for what. FOR WHAT!!!!

"What will happen when every mind is connected?" YEAH GREAT QUESTION. WHAT WILL HAPPEN, SETO??????? since this STILL does all link back to one rich kid with a grief processing deficiency. haha... "link."

GOD. SPINS AROUND REAL FAST. this is huge and this is baffling and this is scary and i am SO excited for happens next. Where do we go from here!!! Why's Ai being so quiet all of a sudden!!! How do the Rush Duel Worlds fit into all this!!! Is the VRAINS gang going to be able to MAKE CONTACT with characters from the other worlds????!?! PLEASE.

[halfamask]

Adding on to my earlier post, how good the original yugioh cast would be at driving a car:

Yugi: 2/10. I’m sorry. The boy is 5 foot max. He needs a cushion to see over the windshield and slightly struggles to reach the break. He’s so so so good at the theoretical stuff and he always knows who has right of way and what all the signs mean. But he makes everyone nervous when he pulls that seat all the way up and is white knuckled with his tight grip on the wheel, stressed until he parks again.

Joey: 5.5/10. Solid driver, grew up with a beat old Camry with a tough steering wheel and can drive pretty much anything. Will go with you to the mechanic so you don’t get scammed. Absolutely drives at least 10 over the speed limit and is only urged on by his driving playlist full of super fast songs. King of the California stop.

Tristan: 8/10. Good driver. Passed his test on the first try, always comes to a complete stop. Needs the seat out almost all the way. Pleasant radio music and windows open, can have a conversation with you when he drives. But will get stressed in heavy traffic and mostly likely will snap at you. You probably have to ask him for permission to eat in his car.

Tea: 7/10. Also a solid driver, always stays within the speed limit and doesn’t get stressed too easily. The only exception is rich assholes in fancy cars who weave in and out of lanes really quick; she WILL race them in her 8 year old Honda thats due for maintenance soon while cussing them out the whole time, not caring who’s in the car with her. Can drive well but ideally is playing passenger to Tristan. She and Joey trade off the front seat and Yugi’s forever in the back.

Seto: -2/10. The rich asshole in a blue eyes white Tesla, weaving in and out of lanes and laughing as the plebs try to keep up. Mokuba is nauseous but egging him on. He treats all speed limits and most stoplights and yield and stop signs as vague suggestions at the very best and parks in fire lanes because the fine is pocket change to him. No food in his car. Only Mokuba is allowed to sit in the passenger seat and others are lucky if he lets them sit in the back. Every time he drives somewhere he expects valet parking because finding a spot is too mundane for him (again, he will just otherwise leave the car wherever even if it’s a fire lane). No one has better job security that his chauffeur because Mokuba pays to make sure Seto only drives rarely.

Mokuba: can’t drive yet, never wants to learn because he has a chauffeur, plus his only role model for driving who’s not a professional driver is Seto, so he’s kind of scared of it.

Bonus! Atem: 3/10. Better (and taller) than Yugi because he has a calmer and more authoritative presence that makes people feel like he knows what he’s doing, but only knows the rules of the road because Yugi drilled them into him. He’s a pharaoh, both the modern technology and being his own charioteer are fundamentally incompatible with his being and he always feels like something is wrong when he drives.
