everything we saw until now and will see in s2, are all layers of perception of who lestat de lioncourt is, according to recollections of memories of people who miss, love and resent him. lestat is actually very smart and aware of himself and it comes from the lasting piece of humanity that he still carries within him. and at the same time, he's a complete dumbass that only does shit because he feels like doing it. he loves viscerally, so when he sees beauty he loves it with so much of himself that a lot of times it consumes his senses. he charms his way into the likes and eventually dislikes of every single soul that he encounters. he's a former theater kid. he's a wolfkiller. he's a brat and he's a prince.

Goodness! This exchange is everything. Takes place when these two lose against your team in the new Tag Duel Tournament (2024). The actual eng translation is typed up and shared here. Very thankful to them since I don't play the game and rely on gameplay videos.
As always, imo the official translators don't do a very good job. Adequate at best... (The pre-duel dialogue is fine). The way Duel Links is translated in eng comes off as very "summarized" to me. Nuances and call backs are lost, if not altogether cut, which is unfortunate. Tbh the real villains of YGO are the translation/localization team.
BAKURA: Hehehe... We lost, Yugi. Is this what you wanted out of a fair fight?
ATEM: There will always be a winner and loser in a competition. But when it comes to us Duelists, there are acceptable ways to win and lose! You have something that's of value (lit. important) to you like that, don't you, Bakura? Like when we had our own duel (aka the first BC match)!
BAKURA: ... Keh! Whatever... I'll tell you one thing. That naivety of yours will get you killed (lit. will prove fatal) in the coming battles... Hyahahahahahahahaha!
So ok!
Atem throws Bakura the same phrase Bakura used when he forces a switch back to get Ryou out of Osiris' attack.
BAKURA: I have my own preferences when it comes to winning...!! (lit. I have ways I like and ways that I don't when it comes to winning...!!)
The manga in general uses speech/thought bubbles weirdly, but it's safe to assume Bakura isn't saying this out loud, considering what's happening in this scene (Atem doesn't actually hear him say this). So it strikes a nerve in Bakura because lmao Atem is on point!
Atem's like, "hey remember when you were a big softy for your host"
And then Bakura's immediate reaction is that of a man who's undeniably guilty as charged,
This face is such a tell. It says so much lmao! It hits home he can't even hide it! Because "That naivety of yours will get you killed". Bakura, is that from experience? 🤭
Here, Atem comments that even if Bakura is an evil entity, he and Bakura aren't different in the aspect that they are meant/destined to protect their respective Item bearers. They have to, even if it comes down to sacrificing themselves.
Yugi initially says that it's a little different between the Yugis and the Bakuras, but ultimately, Yugi agrees with Atem at a fundamental level (as seen here in his conversation with Jounouchi). I think the jp title of that chapter is fitting too. 絆のために!! "For the Sake of Bonds!!"
Look, the chapter where Bakura protects Ryou was released in the March 2001 issue of Shounen Jump. It'll be 23 years since then soon, and Atem still won't let Bakura live that moment of "naivety" down 🤣🤣🤣
I love the Bakura/Atem dynamic (in reference 01, 02)! They're the "bad friends", the vitriolic best buds trope if you cut their historical animosity towards each other. Being AIs programmed by Seto gives them this freedom, I suppose.

takasugi anime appearances list
—
hey takasugi likers and probably gintama editors
a few years back when i was into gintama, i absolutely fell in love with takasugi and i was so fixated on this man that i kept track of his anime appearances during my watch-through just so i could go back and rewatch them . and i also could not, for the life of me, find the fake joui4 trailer, so it made it easier to find stuff
if anyone also shares the same sentiment or needs clips, here’s the list
