BABY SETO ARRIVED!!!!!!

I also got grown ass Kaiba and a Disheveled Joseph!!!

(My apologies i am a shit photographer)

Came with the whole lot so i got some pics below the cut of the rest. There are a lot of cute details and sorta easter eggs in the designs

Firstly, extremely important you see the difference in Joey and Kaiba’s brow thickness cuz loves me a Joey with canerpillar eyebrows and a Kaiba with basically no eyebrows.

Kaiba’s lik coat can be moved and adorably on his stomach is his locket

Here’s also a close up of baby seto’s blue eyes.

Wish they’d made a mokuba Dx

Next we got the details on Joey. Alas no dog tag but they did make sure his shirt went below his pants’ waist band and got the sleeve details correct.

Mai and Anzu. Kinda weird we got these two? like Mai not so much, Anzu a little, and it's kinda weird if we get Anzu we don't get Honda? but i'm also like one of 3 Honda stans so lol. it kinda feels like they weren't super sure what to do with long hair, but here these 2 are. they have the cute details of Anzu's collar & cut off sleeves and Mai's corset and her deck pouch under her jacket:

YUUGS!!! They're both precious. Got the puzzle on their tums. Love the purple eyeliner haha. Yami's jacket goes all the way up and he has the black tank under it. Yugi's has a little loose fabric to show how fair down it goes but it is designed to look like he is wearing the jacket. they both have the 2 very important studded belts ahhaa.

Bakurassss: cute lil faces, both are basically identical except for the hair horns and expressions. very cute. lil millenium rings on the tums and their blue over shits come up to show off their cute lil stripey ones.

Mariksssss: These two are the most different. 2 totally different outfits. Yami Marik we got a eye on his head, darker purple cape that goes all the way up, black tank, spikey hair, khakis in case he gets called into the office or something and a black tummy. Marik has his lil midriff on the back lol, belt

Regular Degular Marik also has A HOOD you can actually put on him!!!

fave details has gotta be those earrings tho hahaa.

all these lil guys are super soft and have some beans in them and are weighted so they sit pretty solidly. I'm obsessed i love them so much ahahah.

I really hope they make a second series. I would love a Mokuba, Honda, Duke and honestly Weevil and Rex would be kinda cool. Hell I'll take a Bandit Keith XD

The first remote duel

WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT

Thank you for everyone who voted in this tournament! It's been a delight to host. I plan to start submissions for a best GX monster tournament, but probably not until February.

But onto the main point of the post: our winners!

First I want to give a shout out to the bronze medal winners. In third place is Mystical Elf & Red Eyes Black Dragon! They may not have made it to the finals, but top 4 is not bad.

(Personally I want rooting for Mystical Elf since she's my girl but... oh well, I'm still proud of her for getting this far!)

In second place is our runner-up, the only God card to make it this far, it's Slifer the Executive Producer Sky Dragon! Otherwise known as Sky Dragon of Osiris! He wins the silver medal!

Although Slifer may be a God card, one little guy managed to trump over him! The winner of the tournament, the certified best duel monster from the original series, the one and only KURIBOH!

KURIBOH HAS WON THE SPOT OF THE BEST DUEL MONSTER IN YUGIOH DUEL MOSNTERS!!!! CONGRATS TO THE LITTLE GUY

liveblog: yugioh! (1999 film)

honestly i am lost as to what to watch now that i've finished the series (the same series that has five spin-offs i know) so time to watch some yugioh movies!

i don't think i've ever seen this one before? but let's (re)watch it anyways!

yyugi sounds like a fucking CHILD

but i appreciate the fucking walkthrough of how duel monsters is played

this reminds me that i should watch season zero

"then try me, miho-chan!" "i'd rather watch some more"

yo this dumbass really saying he has the red eyes black dragon in front of everybody as if people wouldn't fight him for that card

yugi sounds liike a fucking 7yo and it's THROWING me because even in the dub he didn't sound this young

"i'm just a man who hates seeing self-indulgence"

oh got that classic windowsn 95 interface!!!

hm so the japanese definiely says "MUtou" so i wonder why we didn't ust keep that in the dub? admittedly, "moto" is definitely cooler

so ia gree that someone else needs to have the red eyes card because f you think you can win WITHOUT playing just because you have a powerful card then???????

why is yugi like 2ft5

"my victory is already assured. that's why i don't play"

stupid

you mean yugi DOESN'T!! do the "yugioh!" shout when yami takes over? lame

yami looks a bit "wild" though and i like it

shogou's scared of... god knows what and is like "if only i could fight like that"

bro yugi attacked a mosnter in defense mode

black dark magician <3

oh, um.... actually not into the color scheme of the dark magician

oh kaiba already has all three blue eyes okay

"evil chains" allows all three blue eyes to exists on the field at the same time

so, i guess he doesn't have polymerization?

yami's dead sweating

wow dropping words of wisdome wow

"demon" not "summoned skull"

hm are turns not really a thing in this version? i do know the rules int he anime changed but i didn't realized they changed so much

"unguard magic" and not "stop defense"

so sougou "found" the spirit to fight and yugi won his duel

wow that was very uneventful

this was technically a movie but also technically a slightly longer episode - but 100% somethng that doens't need ot be watched.

[des-shinta]

Have you read about the new rules for Link summoning? I find them rather unneeded as it nerfs so many decks and dueling styles, let alone decks that need the extra deck for there more powerful combos.

I have discussed this elsewhere; and frankly this is utterly asinine; all done because Konami is damn stupid about managing their own game mechanics.

This all started, admittedly, with XYZ monster abuse during Zexal’s run because Konami kept making them vastly overpowered, and too easy to summon through those means; not helped with them beginning to errata cards to make them weaker–not limit an OTK condition they may be part of…but utterly changing their effects.  Crush card virus being the most infamous where it was a great card…but is now worthless.XYZ’s were so abused they drowned out all other deck types Konami was making, which discouraged old players in a way synchro’s didn’t, as Fusion monsters and prior archetypes were still being supported and weren’t utterly dominated.  Hell, I ran an amalgam Fusion/Synchro deck through most of 5D’s run, and it was decently successful.  But you didn’t see that during Zexal; either you ran the most recent chase cards…or you lost.They then sought to fix that through the pendulum mechanics which were meant to unify all of the various summoning strategies, but initially backfired because when they were released, they put on the banlist several anti-spell/trap cards like heavy storm which would have kept them balanced, and made people discouraged from playing the game as pendulums were then assumed they would dominate.  Thus, they Then needed to rush out anti-pendulum cards…that everybody THEN used instead of pendulums.  Thus, back to square one until they once more made stronger cards to balance them, which is where we got beginning in Arc-V’s synchro arc and final year.Pendulum monsters weren’t really the problem as they in and of themselves were balanced–more summons deplete other advantages and you need certain cards to even summon out strong stuff which were small in number–but the issues came again from what Konami kept doing to incentive-ise their play after they didn’t learn their lesson.I thing the most balanced Anti-Pendulum monster we had, was blue-eyes spirit dragon, as it restricted mutli-summoning in the same way bottomless trap hole did.  And bottomless trap hole was already a staple card.

Ironicly, the ARC-V years were ridiculously good for legacy archetype support, with blue eyes WINNING THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, the legendary dragons from the DOMA arc and a lot of other anime-only cards being made real, magicians, Sacred beast and destiny board becoming playable, red eyes, Harpie and amazoness retraining, new egyptian god card support, Asuka Tenjoin’s cyber angels getting released, new destiny heroes, buster blader and black luster solider expanded into archetypes, toon mosnters, magnet warriors and the A-Z expansion.Which, really, is what people complaining about the game wanted; they WANT to play things they like and not just things that will let them win.  People love blue-eyes dragons so much they were used as an engine for other decks, like the dragon lords.  Black luster solider envoy of the beginning was many people’s favorite card, so never really went away.  Gorz the emissary of darkness shonen jump subscribers got automatically, and it was a strong enough support card to still be around.  Thus, people came back to the game for these new cards that made old stuff they loved playable again.…though oddly we’ve yet to get Magi Magi magigican girl because of stupid unneeded censoruship reasons.

Plus new stuff like Kaiju (yes, godzilla, Mothra and king ghidorah giant monster all out attack is a deck type), Spyral (james bond), Lunalight’s, Super quantal…just…a lot of good stuff came out the Arc-V years…that aren’t (in Japan) and soon won’t be (in TCG regions) playable anymore.The changes for Link monsters and VRAINS…essentially destroy innumerable decks that rely on more than one extra deck monster, and yet REWARD far more that people hate playing against.  Monarchs, which were previously Overpowered even for the current format and people have hated to be trolled by before even GX started airing, are near-invincible now.  Gladiator beasts, which EVERYONE hates is back.  Red dragon archfiend and black wings are untouched, but admittedly Konami has NEVER nerfed Blackwings despite them being one of the most abused archetypes.  Utopia is untouched due to them now being reliant on the utopia the lightning OTK, which they refuse to put in the banlist, because the BANLISt is made to prevent OTK strategies.But decks seeing a lot of play right now don’t even involve extra decks now because The Link rule format change has ruined pretty much everything competetive.  Rituals already had a resurgence and aren’t hurt, but Gishiki/Nekroz were overused before, so a lot more are going to abuse cyber angels and the black luster archetypes now…which are Older cards and not new ones.Hell, people now see SKULL SERVANTS as a perfect deck in this format, as they break the damage tables previously ruled by extra deck monsters, and the cards that can be used to restrain them are now restrained.

Worse, People have already figured out how to entirely break the game and it’s new rules for LInks monsters…BY using Link monsters just released in the starter deck to ruin everyone’s day and mass-swarm summon themselves effortlessly for an OTK.AKA: THE GAME STRATEGY THEY WERE TRYING TO DISCOURAGE WITH THIS RULECHANGE IN THE FIRST PLACEThey’re starting out overpowered simply from summoning, while almost everything else is near-useless, and will thus dominate every other decktype in ways NEVER seen before in any previous format change or new card type addition.And the sad thing is…they Didn’t need to do that, Link monster’s powers are gained from Linking to things in other card zones, which is entirely serviceable from existing game mechanics that didn’t require the new monster zone, and would require some actual strategy about planning card placement to bring out their power. B But that’s not being done as now from the SINGLE monster zone they’re defaulted to, it’s just now an order of operations and they slot in automatically.Reducing pendulum zones back to the back row Spell/trap zones?  That’s not a big problem, outside of several cards Konami already released or now is releasing in post-link sets requiring a full 4-5 card back Row ON TOP of needing the pendulum zones filled, meaning those cards INSTANTLY become useless and unplayable.

IN fact, the instant the rule-change was implemented in japan?  pendulums Died.  In their entirety.  Few to no torunaments has been recorded playing a pendulum deck in Japan since the rulechange.  3 years and an entire card type...instantly shoeboxed. Not even going into XYZ’s, did that happen to synchro’s that fast.

It’s like…they didn’t think this through at all, and exasperated the issues of the play mechanics they were trying to mediate (swarm OTK strategies).So…yeah, with My Friends and I restarting our yugioh Streams this weekend…we’re not dignifying Link monsters until we’re forced to.

INKTOBER 2021 - DAY 14 - INVADER OF THE THRONE

I always liked how Invader of The Throne was an actual counterpart to Protector of the Throne! Most of the old school Yugioh counterparts were just recolours but with this card they actually made her the opposite of her sister! (Can’t blame her either that throne looks sick! XD)

Invader of The Throne: LINK

Protector of The Throne: LINK
