the way they deliberately zoomed into Aigami's eyes and the way Aigami said Yuugi's full name makes me think that Aigami has an interest in Yuugi

One ofDarkside of Dimensions themes is that history will always repeat itself. And Kaiba is living proof that that is true. Him being the priest who is forever tied to Atems fate.

Diva takes Bakura's place in the story. They both go to the current ruler and criticize them. Bakura criticizes the past pharaoh and the court. In Divas case, he literally calls Kaiba a Dictator for his extreme behavior and actions in Domino. And both of them have a point. One interesting difference is Diva getting Kaiba to duel him by saying that Kaiba defiled a sacred tomb. Something Priest Seto and, by extension, modern Seto actually care about deeply. In Bakuras case, he was the one who defiled a tomb. Diva directly calls out Kaiba's blasphemous behavior. Priest Seto would never actually want to be disrespectful towards what he believes to be the God King. That was his job as a priest and is still now. To protect the King. He believes that the puzzle still contains Atem's soul, and was just carelessly thrown into a hole, so he protects the puzzle. And his language is extremely respectful towards Atem outside the duel with the hologram. Which is not the real guy.

Diva, similar to Bakura attacks the ruler, resulting in them calling obelisk to get out of that situation. In Kaibas case, he does it with the help of Atem. Both times it ends in a situation where both sides come out alive. The interesting thing here is that Kaiba sacrifices all of his blue eyes dragons to summon Obelisk. Might symbolically represent his current state of mind. Where his faith in Atem is growing to the point where he would sacrifice his blue eyes, his most treasured creature, for him. And it is in direct contrast where he sacrificed Obelisk for Blue Eyes during battle city.

Bakura and Diva fall into the hands of Zorc leading to the resurrection of the dark god.

Kaiba similar to Atem sacrifices himself to save the world. We never get to see Atems death in the manga. However, there is this moment in the manga. Where Bakura criticizes Atem. Which directly mirrors some of the actions of Kaiba in DSoD. Kaiba has separated himself so much from humanity in his quest to bring Atem back. And his journey is about letting go of his hatred. During the duel with Zorc/Diva he literally has to be open about his actual emotions for the first time in the entire movie (the "for him" moment). And admit that, like the Priest from long ago, he considers Atem a friend.

The one BIG difference is that Atem is free now and a god and can return, taking the place of Horakthy and destroys Zorc. The implication that Atem might be "the God" now is a interesting one. Especially considering the way Kaiba has been behaving throughout the movie. Where his obsession with Atem has a religious subtext as well. And I think it’s done on purpose that both Kaiba and Yugi fall to their knees before Atem returns. The religious aspects of DSoD deserve their own post. Which I will get to in the future.

We get to see Diva living happily, something we never got to see with Bakura probably because Takahashi rushed the ending thinking that he was going to die. I think this might be the ending he had in mind for Bakura. He is not punished for his actions, as they were born from fear, loneliness, and trauma. He will have to go on the same journey Kaiba went on ever since Atem broke his heart into a puzzle. And perhaps this also symbolizes the beginning of a new cycle. Of history beginning to repeat itself once again.

The movie continues, and Seto similar to Atem entrusts the future to someone he can trust (In Setos case, it’s Mokuba). And I think that scene has some very interesting implications. Perhaps the cycle is broken (for now). Because Mokuba is someone who doesn’t have a deep and long history with past lives and magic. I think this is supposed to be an optimistic choice. To have a regular person, somebody young in charge of the future who is not tied to expectations of gods, destiny or magic.

He enters the afterlife, and a rearranged version of Priest Seto plays in the background perfecly symbolizing his new role and his new mindset. Completely accepting of his fate and his ties to Atem. He does not enter that palace as a rival but as a friend. Fulfilling the prayer on the tablet of destiny. He finally returns to where he belongs. Also showing us that death is not the end of existence in the Yugioh universe. It is not something that separates people from their loved ones forever. And his faith in his best friend (and perhaps god) has paid off.

And the smile he has is in direct contrast to the pained face he has throughout the entire movie. Finally fulfilling Mokuba's wish, he can smile the way he used to before Gozaburo adopted him.

And Atem smiles back.

Aigami x GN! Reader

There's no summary my demons won. Wrote this during April fools watch it come out 3 months later.

Upd: it's july.... it's also my birthday🔥

He'd be on edge when he first meets you. As soon as you took interest in him he's already thinking that you might know something about the Plana. When finding out you're just someone interested in him he'd continue on with his act, would judge you without saying a word, but still hungout with you.

He'd fall hard, realizing it after a while but to everyone else it's aggressively obvious, the way he stares at you while you two talk and sudden dropping of the act around you kinda made it obvious to everyone in that classroom. "Aigami, did you get anything he just said?" "I did, not that I'd give it to you" he continues scribbling down the notes. "I know you remmber" he smirks to himself narrowing his eyes "and if I didnt?" You glare at him "I'll ask Bakura" never fails to get him to help you

He would get a little jealous, your one of his friends totally not crushes, you shouldn't talk to Joey for more than two secounds and not expect a certain cube person to just slide in and add nothing to the conversation just staring into Joey's soul. "It's too hot in this mask" "drink this" "ah thanks y/n AHHH" he jumps back covering his face, the mascots stuffed arms blocking him from view. "I can take this anymore, please buy him eye contacts" "I think he'd still do that" you sweat a bit

You got the pleasure of being the first person he asked for almost anything. "What's this?" He shows you a small toy with "B'LOONIES" in colorful bubbled letters near the top. "These you kinda blow into a straw and it makes plastic bubbles" "I see" this would also extend to certain brands, attractions, heck even games. You still told him about them without judging him, assuming he was just heavily sheltered. You'd notice this when you date him but he does stare alot at your face while you try to figure something out. When you're just friends the stares full of innocence and curiosity, as if excited for the answer, when you get closer to him however he looks with more uncaring eyes, still curious however lacking the child level curiosity as if only giving it to you just to watch and hear you.

He'd ask to go to places after school. Some girls talk about a spot? He's taking you. He dosent want you to go home even if you spend 8 hours a day with him just school alone.

"Do I exist in your thoughts?" "You're in all of them" a quick reply, no hesitation espically when you unironcally showed him a picture of him looking unenthusiastic with a cat filter on in your wallet. "Why am I right next to your id?" "You exist in my thoughts" You got him to crack a smile revealing a small crumpled up photo of you he had kept in his pocket, all cheerful with a different he clearly found stupid. "Where do you keep that-" he scoffs "you might exist in my thoughts"

He's not used to physical affection but one hug left him wanting a few more. So he starts greeting you with them, which shouldn't be as terrifying as it is. "Y/n!" He nearly tackles you a bright smile on his face. "Can you return my aigami please I think someone switched mine out" "?" He giggles at your joke making you a bit nervous. "Are you ok?" "I'm fine" "you sure?" "." You bring him back in no time

If you'd organize a date, Sera would try to hype him up while he'd just be internally panicking. Fiddling with an outfit he found while Sera smiles and details random ideas she had, about hand holding, winning prizes at fairs, sacrificing all of your known possessions. He'd have to tell her to stop a few times just so he could focus on what to do without images of you saying or doing exactly what she said

You two could go on dates only for Joey and Tristan to sneak around and watch. "Don't look but" you try to hold in your giggle and mumble your words, leaning in for him to hear you "Joey's wearing a wig and he thinks he we don't know it's him" you cover your mouth with a napkin trying to mutter the laughter, it was such a cheap wig and he didn't even put it on correctly it has just sitting on his head, Tristan didn't even bother he just wore heart shades he probably stole from Tea. They got the bill for your food

With you around, he let's his guard down by nearly every bit of it, leading to unfiltered Aigami momments. For example you allowing him to be a passenger on your bike. "Are you sure this is safe?" "Yea Joey does it all the time with Tristan." He carefully steps on gripping your shoulders for dear life. "You're gonna suck the life from me" "should have equipped seat belts" he enjoys the fresh air of a bike ride to school, the soft wind while observing his surroundings...before being blasted to next year by a down hill ride. He's not doing that again.

I'm so glad Jonouchi showed up

The added context DSoD gave Shadi is very interesting. Because if we only look at his actions in the modern world. Now we know or can at least theorize why Shadi did all of these things he did in the manga. After he was killed. His spirit continued searching for the pharaoh. To be there for him when he passes on. He was filled with anger that someone would enter a sacred tomb and defile it. Perhaps that anger comes from Bakuras greed-filled father, entering without any respect. So he kills the archaeologists during his first appearance in the manga. Searching for people who would do such things and take revenge on them.

However he might not remember everything about the time when he was alive, only acting on certain instincts. He perhaps might not even realize that he is a ghost (at first). Considering that he did tell the kids his real name (Shadi) and in the manga says this:

If he does not remember the kids by the time the events of the manga take place, then that means that he only wanders around vaguely remembering his duty.

Giving a really sweet subtext to this moment. We can now headcanon that he was subconsciously remembering Diva here. 

And he either subconsciously remembers that the pharaoh has to move on for his kids to get their powers. Or if he remembers everything then he might be trying to manipulate the events so that the pharaohs soul moves on and his kids can take over.
