Kaiba: "Yugi-oooooooOooOOOOH ♡

 

[Shaanyboi]

Because if there's any anime that needs that much text dissecting its intent, it's fucking Yu-Gi-Oh.

...yo I should watch some fucking Yu-Gi-Oh.

A week into 2017 and we already have a contender for wackiest thread of the year.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

and i'm out.

 

[madstarr12]

Lol, I just wanna play Duel Monsters....no need for this!

 

[nickgia]

Well...ok then!

Tell me more about how 'dangerous' and metal Yugi-oh is! Beyblade better watch out!

Love love love season 0.

 

[chrisPjelly]

 

[Sandfox]

Yugi legit killed people on multiple occasions in the manga with no remorse.

 

[nickgia]

I also loved how every game was "rigged".

"Since there's nowhere to run, I'm gonna fuck!"

 

[blamite]

you really wrote a damn essay about this huh

And I think our lives have all been made all the much better for it!

 

[Brakke]

you have to use yaoi logic here

I-- I absolutely do not have to do that. I've never had to do anything less.

 

[Applebite]

Honestly, pretty convincing argument.

 

[HotHamBoy]

My 12 year old daughter doesn't think this much about yaoi, and she is a hardcore yaoi fanfic fanatic.

I thought I had already read the weirdest shit in this thread before I saw this post.

 

[Breads]

Ah... weekend already at neogaf <3

 

[MegaManTrigger]

You could reasonably argue that everyone in GX was interested in Judai.

And Judai ended up with his one true love (lol not really, maybe? Fuck if I know).

 

[The Driver]

omg why is this thread so good.

I almost wanna rewatch the anime.

why do you know this

I mean I'm not gonna lie I was into some shit by the time I was 12 but my parents didn't know

Social media I bet. If a family member tags/ favorites/ reblogs/retweets something it's hard to miss.

 

[pirata]

Thiefshipping.

 

[I-hate-u]

The typical GAF train of making every GODAMN relationship romantic or sexual.

Friendship, bonds, rivalry....screw all that amirite? Lame.

Arc V and 5Ds are pretty good options if you already watched the original

Just following FIFA's example I'm sure.

 

[Toparaman]

Early manga and Season 0 were legit good, i don't give a fuck.

 

[DMONKUMA]

Pretty sure Yusei had the hots for Bruno.

 

[Austriacus]

Wasnt there like a thing between Yugi and the chick. I know you say there isnt but i swear there was, at least from her side.

 

[torre_avenue]

More like there was a thing between Yugi and a dick.

 

[Principate]

Nah Yugi fancied Anzu/Tea, Anzu/Tea fancied Yami Yugi. It was some weird ass love triangle

 

[Austriacus]

Now i remember, i also remember thinking it made no sense, apart from being all edgy the spirit thing only existed to play fucking games and then dissapeared for 99% of the time.

So bizzare.

I believe I answered this in the OP. The romance was there originally, but the anime killed it when they were removing any signs that Yugi is attracted to women. Originally the two talked about their feelings at Duelist Kingdom.

By the way, when I typed "fujoshi logic" into Google image search, I also found an image demonstrating the correct and incorrect way of drawing a My Little Pony character's genitals. Thank you, Internet.

 

[Monocle]

It's all clear now.

I love this thread so much

 

[L Thammy]

Since a few people have been bumping this thread I may as well add something worthwhile:
Probably the most brilliant yaoibait scene from a turn of the millennium kids' anime.

 

[Necron]

Where's littlekuriboh when you need him...

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Yaoi? I'm just here for the children's card game.

 

[.JayZii]

"There's no proof for this, of course. You have to use yaoi logic and assume they're gay and then work backwards from that point. There, now that that's proved let me spin you a yarn..."

This is literally just projecting and then rambling on about the plot of Yu-gi-oh.

 

[Keasar]

Okay. Here's the game from chapter 1:

Love love love season 0.

Now I gotta read the first volumes of the manga again, I remember watching a random episode of the anime when I was a kid, then reading the manga and thinking "Holy shit this is awesome!" and then go back to the anime and finding out it is a watered down version that focused on just the most boring part of the manga, the card game.

It was way cooler when they were playing a whole bunch of different (and often brutal) games with deadly outcomes as punishment.

Like a game of table hockey on a grill table and using a ice puck filled with a explosive compound.

A tabletop RPG where Bakura used the souls of Yugis friends as player characters and other people as the NPCs.

Or just a goddamn chainsaw battle in a giant death labyrinth.

So I just watched the new movie, and Kaiba's has an unhealthy obsession with the Pharaoh, he's a huge stalker.

Yugi's still on the fence on being gay.

Joey dreams about Kaiba.
