>cheats to win every single match>”uhhh it’s my special power”
I found it very inspiring how he loses Exodia early on but continues fighting.
>>219988285Go back to /a/
he only cheated during season one when the rules were made up and the points didn't matter, and everyone else did it too
>>219989610The heart of the cards is literally him just willing whatever he needs to the top of his deck. When Atem has his final duel, they explain that’s been his power all along.
Season 0 or bust, Idgaf about card games nyugguh!
>>219988285Blocks your path
>>219991556Akagi is a saint and any backtalk is heresy
>>219989906This is like finding out Michael Jordan was on steroids for every game. Totally invalidates those victories.
>>219988285Didn’t he kill these guys?
>>219991556akagi doesn't have to cheat to win. the manga shows multiple times he is extremely lucky and a genius at gambling.he would still win 9 out of 10 games against anybody if he played 'normally', even if it was just rolling dice. he just cheats for the sake of it and hence doesn't have to rely on his ridiculous luck.this attitude of not caring about luck paradoxically causes luck to want support him even more, and makes him even luckier. theres only one time luck chose another man over him, and the sheer effort to win luck over from akagi caused that man to go to hell and die (in that order) on the spot.
>>219989906"The Heart of the Cards" is a dub invention anyway. Its not even mentioned in the original script.
Holy kino...
At least Yugi didn't threaten to commit suicide because he was about to lose a duel
>>219992987Pure cope. Yugi lost in a game of Will.
>>219991779He killed a gay clown
>>219988420Exodia ain’t shit. The crazy dude who had the exodia deck in battle city was easy as shit to defeat
I like when the police flagged yugi down to have him play solitaire against a terrorist (they didn’t know who he was even)
>>219993155All he needed was one Monster Reborn in there somewhere
>>219993276They need to be in your hand I think
>>219993155https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp4fxe75810
>>219993306Wasn’t the way Yugi beat him by removing all the duplicate cards with chain of destruction? If he had a monster reborn he could bring back the one of the many destroyed cards and finally complete it.
>>219993414>its pretty good if you're a fan of Yugioh
>>219988285ABC
>>219991556NANTOKANAREEEEEEEEEEE
>>219992333I watched it subbed and it’s very clear in the yugi vs atem finale that atem is outright pulling whatever card he feels like via the puzzlebox. The egyptian chick points it out.
>>219993414oh my god
>>219993444Monster Reborn would special summon the destroyed Exodia piece (the head iirc) on the field. In order to win though you need them all in your hand. You cannot just pick a card up off the field and add it back to your hand. I mean you can but you need specific cards to do that. It is unlikely that guy had the means to win once all copies of the card were purged from his deck
>>219993444monster reborn puts them on the field, I think exodia needs to be in your hand to win
>>219988285>Posts /a/ on /tv/>"Uhhh, I'm brown"
>>219988285>"Win every single match">Lost twice to a guy with one of the worst archetypes in the seriesIt probably doesn't bother Yugi but you know the pharaoh's sneeding about it in the afterlife so bad
>>219988285Like every Yu-Gi-Oh main protagonists?
>>219995885Everyone with a millennium item was cheating. But not Kaiba.
>>219995999I'm talking about the other Yu-Gi-Oh shows like GX, 5Ds, Zexal, Arc-V etc
>>219995999Kaiba’s wealth and resources were softcore cheating.
>>219995999Holy digits. Threatening suicide should count as cheating even if it was 100% justified given the stakes.
>>219993069If Kaiba was a rich kid who owned his own multinational company, why did he attend the same school as Yugi?
>>219993526And? That doesn't refute anything i said.Heart of the Cards is a dub invention.In reality, Atem uses magic power to pull whatever he wants.
Why Konami stopped using ancient Egyptian theme for Yu-Gi-Oh cards?
>>219996319To show off his wealth
>>219993526Multiple characters point it out during the final duel, yeah. Atem can just draw whatever he wants. Whenever he draws a card and sets it without even looking at it, that's what he's doing. It was even foreshadowed in battle city when the judges scold him for setting without confirming if the card is a monster or spell/trap, but Kaiba tells them to shut up and allow it.
>>219996240Shit wouldn't be necessary if he'd stop needlessly merging his 3 3000s into a single 4500 just for effect
>>219995999Kaiba cheats because of a millennial item too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOJr1dTPSis
>>219996287>attacks you for 3000 every turnI sleep>deals 1000 damage per turnreal shit
>>219996460even if he didn't we both know yugi would pull some other bullshit out of his ass and make up rules on the spot to instantly get rid off all 3 blue eyes
>>219996762He doesn't make up rules. He makes up cards. And then that card never reappears in the show again.I'm looking at you, Berserker Soul.
>>219996818That one was justified.
>>219996319National socialism.
>>219996397They didn't do that too often in the original series either. You had some booster sets like Pharonic Guardian that were strongly ancient egyptian themed, or my favorite archetype Gravekeepers. Most were monsters with no direct theme to ancient Egypt. They still occasionally make anicent Egypt themed monsters, but its about as common as it was back then.
>>219996818I distinctly remember he attacked the fucking moon and fused a spell and a monster. He absolutely makes up rules on the spot.
>>219993634Anime website newfaggot nigger.
>>219988802Kill yourself newfaggot nigger.
>>219995576This guy was cool. Why does it look like his shirt is a blackout tattoo in that picture
>>219997611Weeb nigger faggot, weebs have never been welcome here, calling anyone a newfaggot over this shows you're the one who's a fucking tourist
>>219998644uh oh shartroon melty
>>219992410beating the big bad boss monster by milling the other guy's deck with an infinite draw loop was really cool
>mogs Blue Eyes White Dragon in your path
>>219989906>>219993526So how did he lose to >>219995576
Now you remember there was a giant monster with dragon's head on his penis in this anime
>>219998749>weeb calling anyone a troon when troons are the biggest weebs right nowOh the ironing
>>219998901many such cases
>>219988285I remember Mai was a turn or two away from winning her match in Battle City, but for some inexplicable reason, decided to summon the Winged Dragon of Ra and lost.
>>219999033I remember that "mind rape" episode.
>>2199985603 of those in your deck is just as good or better than having 3 blue eyes.
Joey is the best in this show>Beat a professional duelist (rex raptor) in his first professional match of his dueling career >Made it to the finals of duelist kingdom despite just learning to play the game a few weeks earlier, and starting with 1 battle star>Made it to the final 4 of battle city (the only one to do so without having an Egyptian god card)>Actually beat Marik but passed out due to shadow game bullshit before he could cast the final blow
>>219999201Why he gave Red Eyes to Yugi?
>>219999201You forgot>Fucks Mai
>>219996319Shounen trope. Every son of a CEO/world wrestling champion/the most intelligent boy in mankind goes to the same rank and file public elementary school with the generic MC. Except if the story happens to be in a super elite freemason private school, then, somehow they all end there and would never mix with hoi polloi.
>>219991556Cheating is the real game of gambling. If you think gambling is about luck, you just lost at the real game before it even started.
>>219998873>tuner Im gonna assume that this is just an arbitary class of new monsters they introduced to create new synergies seperate from the base game?
>>219999079 They really tried to make that arc darker than it actually was. Pegasus going full Saturday morning villain and everyone acting like Yami just committed psychic war crimes. 4kids censorship didn’t help either, half the time it felt like they were dancing around what was actually happening so it just came off goofy instead of sinister. Still kino though. Early Duel Monsters had that unhinged energy before it turned into nonstop god card power level wank.
>>219999859>newYea only about 20 years young
>>219991556how do i respond without sounding blind, retarded, or old with faustian spirit and mandate of heaven buff
>>219991556Flawed, struggling loser > marry sue
>>219992410the broken thing aboout the enemies deck here wasn't even slifer but that revival slime that just could never be fucking destroyed. he could have set up all kinds of powerful monsters with that thing on the field
>>219995576His breakdown after losing was kino but it was retarded how they framed it as "sacrificing monsters is bad" when they'd been doing that for the whole show up to that point
>>219999201Reminder that Jonouchi defeated Yugi/Atem in a duel cleanly.Jonouchi vehemently refused to take back the Red Eyes Black Dragon from Yugi/Atem when they tried to give it to him and he only agreed to accept it if he beat Yugi/Atem in a duel for it. Both Yugi and Atem respected his decision and agreed to hand the card back only if and when Jonouchi defeats them. Jonouchi having the card later proves he beat Yugi/Atem offscreen as he wouldn't have the card back otherwise. To this day in canonical lore Jonouchi is the only character in the entire franchise besides Yugi himself to have defeated Atem cleanly (Raphael did it in an anime only arc). Kaiba can seethe to the end of time if he wishes, as it's something he'll never achieve.
>>220002911Why not just buy another Red Eyes from Grandpa's shop?
Sure but did Yugi ever play Pot of Greed to draw 2 additional cards from his deck?
Remembering Weevil throwing exodia off the boat and Joey jumping in after it never fails to make me chuckle
To this day, Gaia the Fierce Knight/Dragon Champion will always be my favorite card(s).
>>219988285in America
>ayy Kaibuh duh jerk store cawwled and dey said dey ran outta you
>>220003129I bought the jerk store and then fucked your blind sister.
>>220003157>Senpai...I....
>>220003157But Serenity told me she was saving herself for marriage!
>>219998889Heart wasnt into it
Reminder that Kaiba is canonly in love with Blue Eyes White Dragon. He wants to fuck dragons.
>>219988802reddit fag
>>220003242Is he a Targaryen?
>>220003129>4kids turned him into a Captain Planet characterWhy though?
>>220003279Because kino.
>use time wizard to turn baby dragon into thousand dragon and turn all the harpie ladies into hagskino
>>220003399>use time wizard to turn baby dragon into thousand dragon and turn dark magician into dark sagekino
>>219988285This doesn’t translate as well because the YGO anime we all know was a very very soft reboot compared to the manga and original “season 0”Original Yami/manga Yami is a sadist and openly cheats/manipulates all sorts of games that he locks opponents into just to watch them suffer and loseThis Yami is much more honorable and heroic, so the cheating stuff just comes off as “huh lol?”
>>220003451The classic blunder
>>220002911Joey is not a good duelist and everyone has outright confirmed that they made dumb plays against him just to encourage him to keep learning
>>220003628sounds like joey had a good group of friends
>>219998889He would have won that duel if he had just set Seal of Orichalcos before using Card of SanctityHe’d have drawn 6 cards instead of 5, and that last card would have been catapult turtle. He could have flipped the seal, summoned it, then sacked all his monsters to win that turn.
>>219996166>wallowing through all this shit to catch up on the ones I missed chunks of and the ones that never aired locally>Only just got up to season 2 of Arc-V>still have the rest of that plus Vrains, Sevens and Go Rush to go
Regarding the original Duel Monsters anime: as a kid I stopped watching pretty early on into season 3, I was 11 years old when I saw the episode where Tea dueled against the guy incarnated as a nightmare penguin and I thought they had jumped the sharkAs an adult I did some live-in caretaking for an autistic guy and we binged all 5 seasons then, it was my first time watching beyond early S3. S1 will always be the GOAT and I was shocked they couldn't manage to pull off and engaging coherent plotline like they had in S1 with the star chips / Pegasus hype. A lot of people laud S4 but IDK desu, seems like the show simply got gradually worse as it went on really.here's this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6WRXeKZK64
>>220004627The Battle City arc is so much better than Duelist Kingdom its unbelievable.
>>220003628He's a worse deck builder than he is a duelist. His primary win condition for a while was to just coinflip some bullshit with time wizard. The iconic baby dragon combo with it isn't even that great for the 2400 attack beater. He also kept putting these brick spell equip cards in his deck like Salamandra that were only useful in combination with one minion in his deck (Flame Swords Man). The objectively best deck in the Anime was Kaiba's battle city deck. Even Yugi's decks were mostly unplayable trash without Atem's destiny draw.
>>220004627I agree that S1 is the best (even if only for "nostalgia reasons") but I also really like S2 because that's when duelists actually started following the rules of the game (for the most part). Yugi was still Yugi of course, but it was nice to have some semblance of "what should really be happening" and "how things work" as opposed to...>I'M TARGETING...THE MOON!!!
>>219989610>The rules were made upAll rules are made up, that's why they're rules.
>>219998560The more reading this game required you to do the worse it got
>>220002957If draw 2 cards breaks your game maybe your game is complete shit
>>220002957>Banned because "every deck would be forced to run it">Every deck needs to run 3 Ash Blossoms or else you'll lose
>>220005027the yu-gi-oh TGC is notoriously shit, having a hard with zero cost or consequence that draws 2 card is essentially just a free extra card for your hand which is why it's OP
synchro was ok but xyz fucking ruined it and dont get me started on pendulums/links
>>220005084Yes but Ash Blossom is cute.
>>219998901esoteric type shit
>>220004627>>220004673I liked both DK and BC as a kid (Stopped watching at the start of the video game filler arc), but I recently watched the whole series and I only really enjoyed Duelist Kingdom. It is more about hilarious asspulls, unhinged behavior across the board, and extremely tropey but more effective motivations. Pegasus is a better villain than Marik too. The 'rules of the game' that starts with BC are less interesting, and still kinda bs, just in a way that is less entertaining.The onky thing I liked as much or more than DK was Dungeon Dice Monsters. That was the most kino game in my opinion.I should watch Season 0 sometime because, from the clips I have seen, it has a lot of that hilarious unhinged but cheesy insanity that I enjoy along with a wider appreciation for games in general.
>>220005508>The onky thing I liked as much or more than DK was Dungeon Dice MonstersGotcha you're retarded.
>>220005726Filtered
>>220002911>Jonouchi is the only character in the entire franchise besides Yugi himself to have defeated Atem cleanlyYeah but the protagonists of 5Ds and Zexal could beat him too, Egyptian gods included.
>>220005027The only card game where drawing 2 cards for free isn't broken is Pokemon
>>220002911Jaden probably won the duel against Atem at the end of GX.Everyone thinks he crashes Neos into Slifer, but all he says is "Let's go, Neos!" Also, Atem had to cheat Slifer out with Monster Reborn on Jaden's turn, so it was going back to the GY at the end of the turn.
>>220006450And Uno.
>>220005508DDM made absolutely 0 sense and was a 3 episode filler arc. I don't get how anyone can think it wasn't retarded.
>>220005132Wait, that's how it's spelled?But yeah, every xyz monster is massively overpowered and seem to pull special abilities out of their ass. (plus levels, plus ranks) They barely even use the component monsters and just overlay immediately.
>>220007628Xyz is where the pattern making got lazy and shit started becoming way more genericLinks are much more offensive at doing that, and Link 1’s shouldn’t be in the game
>>220006695I hate GX and Jaden but that duel against Yugi was fucking retarded. There is no way Yugi could fight Jaden with his battle city deck. Jaden not beating little Yugi in two or three turns is one of the biggest bullshit in the franchise.
