Yugioh S2 Ep 13: You’ll Never Guess Which Character has had a Full Back Tatt This Entire Time

I mean granted, if they sit down, the slicer also removes their butt, but like...at that point you’d be sliced well enough that...would it matter? Course, it probably would be a big deal to Pharaoh. Having an ass is one of the few things he has that makes him any different than Yugi.

Anyways, I don’t go over the card games here but uh...lets marvel at some pretty 1980′s-vibe character design decisions.

Why did they give a Gazelle pubes???

I mean...it’s clearly way more lion than Gazelle, am I wrong? Like one has claws and cat teeth and the other is some type of deer thing?

Now, I know a lot of the cards are from Konami video games...but I don’t recall this one. And I know...too much about video games...but this one...kinda looks like every cat person from every generic beat-em-up from the 90′s.

(read more below the cut)

Pharaoh is still doing his best to convince himself he’s doing the right thing by just outright killing this guy. Yugi hasn’t said much to correct him, to be fair.

Didn’t expect the card thing to bother Pharaoh so much when there’s a woman tied to a chair behind that curtain but OK Pharaoh, feel bad for the cards. Why not? I’m sure their paper feelings were very hurt.

Again, cards having feelings is just adding to the stack of evidence that these supposedly harmless playing cards are becoming real, but people ignore it and are just like “well we better keep playing this game anyway.” Maybe this whole series ends with a big ass lawsuit on Kaiba Corp?

Anyway, Tristan has finally joined everyone else and probably regrets spending about 3 episodes in a hospital when he should have been protecting Pharaoh from predatory clowns.

But it doesn’t matter because Pharaoh wins.

Like he doesn’t forfeit to save this guy’s life. He doesn’t find some work around to force them into a draw: he straight up wins because of...girl power?

Apparently he just found a lady Dark Magician and he’s thrilled that the two can hang out together in his deck. He’s just a few cards and a small little toy RV away from having a Barbie Dark Magician Dreamhouse collection in that deck of his.

And then, as this guy is dying, he just rubs it in.

Ah, never change, you asshole dark wizard. Never change.

Meanwhile, on the other side of this arena, the crew has approached a spooky Riddler door, emanating from which, is just a whole lot of hellish screaming.

Mokuba definitely earning his rent babysitting his older brother’s terrible schoolmates. Before, I was kind of wondering why Seto didn't come down here too, but now it’s becoming clear that Seto has maybe gotten tired of this sort of thing happening and just doesn’t want to deal right now.

Marik decides to show up and screw with Arcana, which, honestly wasn’t very hard to do. Like it probably doesn’t take too much magic to convince Arcana of really anything.

I mean all this happens really quickly in succession, and so sure, some of this is up to interpretation, but I just watched this and it wasn’t until these witnesses showed up:

That Pharaoh was like “oh no the morality police”

I mean it’s kind of a bad situation for Yugi to be in, because Arcana is incredibly unstable. But Arcana’s thankfully too distracted to go right back to killing Yugi like he originally planned to do walking in here.

Damn. This is so 00′s.

I was not expecting this kid’s show to go even darker, especially as Catherine the mannequin’s head falls right off while Arcana sheds a single tear.

Kind of reminds me of the Velvet Ribbon, youknow that old terrifying chestnut we read to kids for some reason. That weird short story or poem or whatever where that lady has a green ribbon around her neck and she tells her husband “don’t take this off, OK?” and he’s like “nah” and he does and her head just falls right off? Kind of like that.

Something I just noticed, and I only notice because of these recaps--Yugi sweats a whole lot more than Pharaoh. Kind of weird. Pharaoh took all the handsome figure genes and gave Yugi all the clammy genes.

Marik could just grab that axe that is right behind him, but instead decides to yell at Yugi about how much he hates his old boss. Poor Yugi has to be Pharaoh’s HR department this season between a guy who does not remember his old life/employees and a dude that has just showed up out of no where with all his baggage and is like “I want his job! I should be boss!” and Yugi’s like “of what freakin company? He’s dead!”

And for some reason, while Marik sent the last guy’s mind to the shadow realm, he decided to let Arcana go free. I mean, I guess there’s not much more damage you can do to Arcana than what’s already been done by that spontaneously exploding casket situation.

Lol they actually talk about “so what if I possess his friends?” and just kinda glaze riiiiight over that. Don’t blame them for very quickly moving on from that idea.

Anyway, so this scene starts off really normal. Marik goes off about how he hates Pharaoh blablabla, and then picks up his super special God Card, and then just, out of nowhere, this guy who has been covered head to toe this Entire Time Just:

Horny preteens rejoice, we have two Bakuras, and this one likes to be shirtless.

And if this wasn’t obtuse enough, they even threw in a crook and flail pose. Wow. Except they replaced it with--a freakin playing card. Shocked they didn’t put the rod in his other hand while they were at it, but that will probably come later.

Well, next week, on Yugioh

Does Marik ever reveal if he’s got on golden pants or if it’s just golden briefs? How does Marik put on liner below his eye without it smudging on all his undereye wrinkles (like y’all, under-eye liner is very difficult to put on because you get wrinkles under there at about age 2)??? Is Bakura just at home watching cartoons and eating cereal?

Anyways, if you just got here and you’re feeling super confused, you can start reading these recaps form the beginning in chrono order here where it’s just purely recap posts and nothing else.
