Remember when Kaiba threatened to jump and kill himself for almost losing a duel?
Is there anything more hilarious in retrospect than Yugioh? (Besides Yamcha)

One of my favorite things about the series is one of the absolutely awful fan subs the anime got years ago. It translated words like "draw" to "pick," despite the actors just yelling "draw" in phonetic Japanese. It also created this scene, where "Heart of the Underdog" got translated as "Dignity of the Retarded."

That is some next level hair gel.
this makes me upset that they give hearthstone players headphones and have them not look at eachother. granted i doubt very many would have the charisma to pull it off but this is so much more fun than listening to analyst commentary
That was such an awful moment. He goes on to claim his victory was robbed for like the next two seasons, too.

To be fair, he did it to save his brother from a pedoph-Pegasus.
4Kids dub makes that scene amazing. Because they couldn't actually say he was going to commit suicide, instead the "shockwaves" from Yugi killing his holographic monster and winning the duel would send him off the edge.
He had to save his brother though. :[
Also gave us glorious moments like this:
The live duels are one of the few positives that, among the big 3, feels truly unique to yugioh. The game is big enough to have such a large audience, and old enough to have nostalgia for these VAs.
Kaiba vs. Pegasus would have to be my all time favorite for how many jokes it made about juxtaposing the characters with the real card game, even if Pegasus didn't use his toons (they didn't get good until 2 years after that was recorded when they got Toon Kingdom).
4 fucking pages and not a soul has posted the greatest theme song. It was way more epic than it had any right to be.
I remember the Battle Tournament arc being the peak of the show for me. I think midway through the virtual stuff with Noah I stopped when I was a kid. Ended up picking it up all through the Abridged series though, lol
Best kid books ever. If you disagree let's settle it on Rumblr.

I was one of those fucked up kids. Animorphs had some really good things about it, like creative world-building and a more serious attitude about war than most kids' stories. It was just really weird at the same time, especially when its more serious parts were undermined by the hilariously dated 90s setting.

Big 3?

How was the Dungeon Dice Monsters scene? Did anyone even try to learn that game?

Magic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh. It was mainly to exclude more niche games like Cardfight Vanguard that I know even less about and couldn't generalize for, although I can't imagine their american presence is even a fraction of the size of ygo's.
The context was that he activated multiply. It should be noted that technically you can only have 5 monsters out at a time (even with orichalcos given that it's card game version got nerfed).

It seems like the one constant in Shonen is that tournaments = ratings. Doesn't matter if it's martial arts or card games.

People laugh at "card games on motorcycles" but 5D's (the original japanese version) is actually a really solid show on the story and animation front.

Not having seen the series, how do you play a relatively complex children's card game while on a motorcycle without crashing within seconds? Why do they play on motorcycles anyway?

Watching this in Japanese just made it much better. I should really watch the series again.

I dropped it after Battle City. I actually went back to watch the final season and enjoyed it, possibly because it played more like a fantasy series instead of, uh, a card game series. But yeah, I can only hear the abridged voices in my head and it's weird to hear the "real" voices. Especially Mai's.

Since Konami has gone full on kamikaze I've lost hope in a VR Yugi game, we have the technology now to attempt to recreate the show, and its perfect fit for VR since you don't move at all and you only need a table or if you want to get fancy that disk hand thing that can decapitate people is already available.
I was super into the anime but since they cancelled the show in Mexico I couldn't finish the show until just recently when I watched all the seasons, the ending wasn't that great but it made me feel this sense of closure. I think its a pretty good anime.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
So...does the card game actually hurt or do the characters just love their dramatic flai?

The monsters are all holograms, so it's just people taking it way too seriously. Again one of the first episodes.
Over a card game.

In that particular instance the monsters were real, so Atem was being a sadist.

I do think people taking mundane shit seriously makes some anime a hell of a lot better. Kaiji and anything else by Fukumoto would be dull as hell if not for the presentation.

The only thing this thread has done is make me want to watch the anime again.
I can't believe that never crossed my mind. Now I need a VR Yu Gi Oh game :[
If you have taste now, you'll like it even more.
Yugioh was legit until Battle City ended. After that the story was kinda washed and they should've skipped straight to the Egypt stuff.
Nah he was gonna make the pharaoh yugi kill him to win. And the pharaoh yugi was pretty much with it too.

Correct, I read the manga since Vol.5.
To be frank as a 10 years old then, the card game has the strongest pull out of the other games.

I remember that one time some kid messed with Yugi and his friends at a school carnival, so Yami challenged him to ice hockey with dynamic frozen into the puck. The pharaoh was a fucking psychopath. It didn't help he had magical powers either
LMAO
OMG, I had never watched Yugioh in English
I'm fucking dying with Yami Yugi's voice LMFAOOOOO

I remember the first season and the first arc of the Manga were really dark.
Yugi killed some teenagers, crushed them with some blocks and shit.
Then they started playing the card game and it got tame.

Cosigned Arc-V and 5D's are very well done (watch it subbed ffs tho)
