thinking about this today.
#the difference in the malik/yb meeting scenes between the anime + manga are like. normal but also wild to me#i was comparing them just now bc i wanted to look at ybs knife (not pictured in the anime)#but the dark alley (anime) vs pier by the sea (manga) is sooo.#the manga gives such a sense of maliks leadership of an organisation as opposed to Guy Who Controls A Handful Of People.. idk#the choice to just stand by the sea and think about what they want to do vs vaguely defined 'shadow battle' with their items#which eventually results in yb just giving up and saying 'id win but i dont care' in the anime..#theres just something about it. they stand quietly with the salt breeze in their hair.#malik is way more forthcoming about knowing things yb doesnt also. and yb is like WAIT FR? WAIIIIT which is kinda cute to me#the manga generally humanises yb a bit more i guess. cocky but scratching and clawing for his goals.#anyway THIS panel is so awesome. malik treating ryou like a tool for his use gifted by his new friend......... welllllll#im not gonna get into the pose/positioning/hairpull. we can just enjoy it ok.#oddly this makes me sort of .. feel like i can add to my stack of Accomplice Ryou Evidence... hes semi-conscious here i think. thats opinio#but like. idk the idea that hes at the point of blindly playing along even if theres no communication yet. whether for self preservation#or more proactively wanting to help. i DO think the turning point for his accompliceisms is the end of battle city#when he realises yuugi lied about the rings whereabouts. and therefore realises that yuugi doesnt trust him.#but this... well if nothing else malik is a warm human presence. and attractive and ryou is gay. soooo#yeah idk i just like the idea of him feigning a SMIDGEN more unawareness than he has. just an itsy bit. just enough.#want to play with him and malik having a conversation first too. where he finally gets to know ANYTHING about what the ring spirit WANTS at#i just think he could agree to it. whether intimidated or persuaded. just my hearts feelings.#onebillion tags attack. go
