#ygo protagonists

Judai: hey guys, have you ever noticed how all of our antagonists and villains always called us by our full name?

Yuya: hmm...now that you mentioned it...they always like for me "Sakaki Yuya"~...in those undertaker tone.

Yuma: I know right?!! Just so they look menacing.

Atem: honestly it always works...well for Yugi and the gang. I don't think they can sound menacing enough if they try saying my name.

Yusei: Atem, your appearance alone is already menacing enough to them.

....

Judai: ((Thank god he is on our side..))

You’re the only one that logic applies to, Shoma. 🤣

I've not watched Vrains but seeing you post about it makes my day every time. Every new Yusaku autism-core post I see I grin and say "yeeeeees"

Every time I think yugioh can't make a more autism protagonist, they delight in proving me wrong.

I know technically Yusaku's obsession with calming himself down by listing things in threes is because of his backstory, but also. Come on. No neurotypical would talk like this while trying to call an ambulance. When he first did it, I started happy stimming so hard. A MAIN CHARACTER! WITH ARITHMOMANIA!!!

His facial animation is stunning. I was so impressed by how far 5Ds got with having a character with limited expressiveness, and VRAINS just keeps raising the bar for me. Animated characters who don't smile/emote very much but still have unique facial animation while still having a Resting B#$% Face my BELOVED

Look at him! I'm obsessed!

He canonically has insomnia related to his ptsd. His best friends drag him for having zero social skills. AI REFERS TO HIM AS HAVING "THE EMPATHY OF A MOLLUSK."

He will just nope out on conversations midway through and I will never stop cheering about it.

All the yugioh protagonists are extremely autism, but Yusaku is a canonically compulsive, unemotive, low-empathy, zero social skills autistic and STILL THE HEROIC MAIN CHARACTER and I am LIVING FOR IT.

Alito & Nail

Since working on the Yugas takes quite some time, I like to draw my favorite Zexal and Sevens characters in the meantime

Alito being a short king and Nail being super tall is something funny to think about

[kcuf-ad]

Theodore: What is scarier? Yusaku becoming a bad guy or-

Everyone: Yusaku being Evil.

Ryoken: Respectfully, I would be more terrified in my life if he became evil for an hour than the end of the world.

Skye: Are you kidding? Him being evil for that long will be the end of the world.

Theodore: I do not blame y'all like who is stopping that man?

Kolter: Absolutely no one. We can jump him and he will kick our asses.

Ryoken: I am pretty sure that we can do that now and we will still lose.

Ai: If that man ever becomes evil we are cooked. We are doomed.

@ygoc-week day 5 is swap, so let’s swap to talking about another OC for a bit!

YU-GI-OH! DM — ISABELLA “IZZ” ROOKE

Oh Izz. Izz baby. My girl :3c She's the main character of a DM alternate fic called Soul Release, named after a card that's very important to her. She survived a tragic pileup that killed her entire family. Unbeknownst to her, this event tied her to a freshly-born reincarnation of Anubis named Rin in this verse.

This version of DM also includes a faction of worshippers of Apophis because of the existence of The Prophet of Apophis, a strong leader and manipulator… as cult leaders tend to be.

Aigami/Diva also appears earlier in this story rather than being a post-canon aspect; we get a Kisara reincarnation named Sapha, a German TCG champion; and Battle City gets a top 16 on the blimp with these three OCs especially mixing things up via their being chosen by the Wickeds.

I say “chosen,” but both Yami Bakura/Zorc and Rin/Anubis work together to create them to oppose the Egyptian gods. Yami B and Rin have a… working relationship, very much rooted in “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” They both strive for the pharaoh’s downfall. Rin chooses Avatar for herself while Yami B takes Wicked Dreadroot. Then Prophet blows up the museum, catching Yami B in the blast, and steals it for himself. Rin gives Eraser to Izz because she sees Izz as a puppet Rin can coerce to do her bidding anytime, including opposing the pharaoh.

Izz moves to Yugi and co’s school. She’s fairly distant from everyone in her life because of the tragedy, but they are kind to her and she is kind in turn. She wins local tournaments and tops regionals because, in order to hide from grief, she fixates on Duel Monsters deckbuilding and ratios and meta etc. This is enough to earn her a Duelist Kingdom invite. Overall, she’s an anxious mess who needs a hug and isn’t sure how to properly interact with other people anymore. She feels like a cataclysm waiting to happen again and again.

Now the elephant in the room! You see her with the Pyramid of Light. Rin approaches Izz after her first regional win. Izz is weak at the knees for beautiful women (and men—everyone is a bi disaster, remember?). Rin explains she hosted the tournament and forgot about a particular prize. She compliments Izz’s dueling and gifts her the Pyramid of Light, saying she’d like to get to know her better. Izz is flabbergasted and accepts the Pyramid, asking only what it is. Rin only describes it as valuable jewelry and recommends Izz keep it on her person.

The iridescent swirls in the pyramid’s sky blue are mesmerizing to Izz, and staring at it provides an indescribable comfort… and focal point to keep her grounded/stop her out of body experiences such that she does indeed wear it constantly

This has an unintended side effect

See, Izz wears a necklace (in the artwork, matches Dark Magician Girl’s pendant) that just so happens to contain the ancient and slumbering spirit of Mana. Being so close to the dark energy of the Pyramid of Light stirs her, and she becomes Izz’s ghost like companion similar to the pharaoh and Yugi. Mana is always trying to be a positive influence on Izz where Rin is like the devil on her shoulder. Izz often makes mistakes and trusts the wrong people, hurting her friendships with the gang and repairing them again.

Her using Wicked Dreadroot however… that one will certainly be difficult to come back from.

And as for pairings, I’m undecided and going so many directions! I would probably have to write it all out.

(but my heart says fellow orphan Seto Kaiba if Izz can ever look away from all the other gorgeous gorgeous guys and gals) (Rin can’t stop rizzing her up) (y’all just WAIT until she meets Ishizu)

I’m just a writer! Artist credit in first image and rest are picrew

At some point, I went from "hide the hands, they're hard and I don't want to draw them" to "I need to draw more hands, I need to include a hand in this picture somehow."

ygo x twst doodle series but it's specifically catered to me so i can draw jamil and sora interacting

[shitpostingkats]

Broke: The Meklord Invasion, Z-ARC's chaos on earth, and the ruined future Ai saw are all separate Bad Ending Potential Timelines.

Woke: In the original timeline, every possible bad thing that could happen, happened, all at once, and only Completely Unplugging The Computer And Plugging It Back In Again could save the universe from utterly imploding in on itself with the force of the multiple simultaneous apocalypses

[moophinz]

The wildest and most minuscule but loud example of people low key hating a “feminine” trait of a male character is when people would make edits and older versions of Yuma with deep red hair and eyes. Instead of hot pink. Using red as an artistic choice is one thing but there’s just pictures that are clearly not that 💀

[krakenshaped]

I'm gonna put him in a comic one of these days

trapped in the infinite struggle of “I should watch the other five entire yugioh series I haven’t watched yet” and “god I really wanna rewatch 5ds for the 28738383rd time”
