Pegasus: I have gathered you all here for the deadliest game…

Anzu: Knife Monopoly

Pegasus: I was actually going to let you all send each other to the Shadow Realm in order to bring back my dead wife… but now I'm really interested in whatever Knife Monopoly is.

[asterzane]

Zane: Wow, they really hate us.

Aster: Yes, perhaps they’re homophobic.

Zane: But we’re not gay, Aster.

Aster:

Zane:

good news yugioh mutuals i rewatched bonds beyond time with my brother this week and am now very much thinking about yugioh 👍 tell me smthn fun about it (if you’d like :]) i’ve never really been in its fandom

OMG <3

here are jsut some random facts i know:

in toeis season 0 they made it so one of honda/tristans aspirations was to be a pilot which is so cute bc hes given like nothing in canon

in the digital world arc of anime duel monsters joeys like the one person who asks what his deckmasters abilities are while atem & tea just wait for some macguffin moment haha

in GX chazz princeton had this chant in the OG dub that was a fun play of words with his name "majoume jun" where jaden always refferred to him pretty informally so hed be like "san-da!" which sounds like the japanese word for thunder and when he went to another academy he did it with one of the students there but they thought he was saying majoume thunder so it became his fun little chant and the guys at 4kids decided to make it chazz it up in the dub which is endlessly funny to me. i know theres no good way to literally translate majoume thunder but certaintly there some other play on words they couldve done but i love chazz it up so

bakura ryou lovessss the occult and the deck yami bakura used in battle city is actually one ryou made! the deck freaks out joey

in the og manga duke devlins whole intro arc involved his clown dad who dresses as a clown 24/7 and his dad tries to burn down the building theyre all in its wild. in the anime they just play digeon dice monsters and are normal

"hold on, before you chazz me" / "im really good at card games, and thats what lifes really all about anyways!"

this one funny mistranslation

edward scissorhands was a big inspiration in general for the series, whole reason yugi is a little goth king

this GX post

the fandom has never let yami yugi live down that time he set a man on fire, and we never should

peak noah textpost

honestly @/millenniumlesbian just has good ygo posts all around take a looksie if you want

also one time seto kaibas hacking theme made an appreance in an episode of arthur once

[akidachi]

me @ all TMA fans now that the show is over

[image ID// photo of bernie sanders with the text “i am once again asking you to watch Yu-Gi-Oh! gx //end ID]

yes yes i know recomending the cardgame anime spinoff is propably the weirdest thing i could be doing but trust me it has a LOT of thematic smilarities and depending on your reason for liking tma you may very well like gx as well

a quick bullet point list of reasons to watch gx from a tma fans perspective:

explores themes of loss, sacrifice, inhumanity, consequences, depression, the inevetability of fate, spitting in the face of said fate and all that fun stuff

subverting the traditional associations of light and dark as good and evil

“you can still be friends with someone you want to use”

(yes i know that one is more a81 but it applies)

GREAT protagonist character development

completely breaking the protagonist down to their bare essentials throughout the course of the series (but especially during s3)

Canon Typical Guilt Complex

strong supporting cast

characters with supernatural powers

canon non-binary character

on that note

canon nblm character

canon (?) mlnb character

european (?) character that ISNT italian, german, french or brittish for once (a personal pet peeve of mine)

the struggles of growing up and the uncertainty and fear of what the future may hold

and last but not least

the slow series long descent into despair that every ygo spinoff has to some extent but damn if season 3 didnt set a high standard it got dark

all that said i do think i should warn you that wheni say the show gets dark i mean it gets dark. the ygo series overall might shy away from a bit of blood but it is not at all afraid of diving into heavier themes and making you feel it. do not be fooled by the lighthearted nature of the first season it is not afraid to make you cry.

 which seems strange for a show thats seemingly just a childrens cardgame anime but when you take into account that ygo started out as a horror manga, and only switched over to the cardgame structure when the duel monsters arc took off, it makes a lot more sense.

(further talking and content warnings below the cut)

all that said heres a couple content warnings (in no particular order):

child abuse

childhood trauma

emotional and financial abuse

less than stellar family members in general

memory loss

medically induced amnesia (yes these are seperate instances)

themes of suicide

themes of depression and isolation (canon typical Lonely content but its all of gx s4)

unreality / dream logic (kinda. again, s4)

cults

brainwashing, mind control and manipulation

loss of physical and mental autonomy (of a sort)

genocide

implied death of children

confirmed death of children

mentions of real world tragedies (offhand once or twice in s2)

significant mental and emotional torment of the main character

temporary character death

permanent character death

(no neither of these are the typical “shadow realm” ygo deaths im talking about regular dying, and not of the fun and peaceful kind either)

(yes several of these are on screen)

also please not that some of these content warnigns apply to all of, or multiple series of ygo

especially themes of suicide, child abuse, and genocide, all 3 of which are covered in every ygo series on SOME level with varying severity

it may seem tempting to skip straight to season 3, as a lot of the more tma esque content is found there (though s2 goes hard as well in my opinion) i really do recomend watching the show from start to finish, as pretty much all the characters experience some level of character development, and seeing them all change throughout the series is an absolute treat.

also on the dub vs sub debate i really do reccoment watchign GX subbed. not bc dubbed anime are nessecatily bad but bc Dub and Sub GX are practically 2 entirely different shows with the amount of changes 4kids decided to make, as well as season 4 not having a dub at all as 4kids wanted to move on to 5ds instead.

(on a semi related note if the anti establishment aspects of tma are more your jam youll propably like 5ds, which has themes of poverty, classism, said eat the rich and litterally abolished the police force by the end of the series while also being about playing cardgames on motorcycles at the same time)

(honestly i could propably make a whole post on the central themes of each ygo series they really take a theme and apply it EVERYWHERE)

also a more recent note

if you like tragedy and big sad

WATCH VRAINS

its like 1 tiny detail away from being a tragedy

i knew what was coming and it still wrecked me

YUGIOH TEXT POSTS 1/?

[deathandnonexistentialdread]

wow there are way more than 5 of you guys and here is pt 2 because what is self control

part 1

[smokedoutcoldstar]

The further I get through ygo dm, the more I am convinced of three things:

Anzu is an actual witch and that silly friendship thing from the Exodia duel was an actual casted sigil.

Yami Malik is making up his plans as he goes along. Absolute improv.

Rishid deserves better and I will not be taking critiques on that one.

My first Yugioh memes

[asterzane]

Introduction & stuff

Hi! I'm Mod Aster (or Piper). Resident autistic gal. Main blog: @goodbyekillingharmony

I really like Yu-Gi-Oh! Well, specifically GX. I've watched DM and GX to completion, currently watching 5DS and I'll continue on from there. Really want to get to SEVENS, though! Looks fun!

I'm an okay at best duelist, still trying to get the hang of deck building, but I like elemental heroes! (wow, how original)

Content I'll post

It's gonna vary a lot. Sometimes textposts, sometimes memes. Occasionally I do want to post my headcanons, rambles and short writing things relating to YGO. they'll be tagged as 'mod aster writing' or 'mod aster rambles'.

I promise I'll post very infrequently, but I'll try to post as often as I am able to.

My interest in YGO is very on and off, but when it's on, it's ON.

Other things

I watch the dub if I'm able to, that means using the dub names & personalities. If that's not your cup of tea, then yeah.

My favorite ships are Aster/Zane and Chazz/Jaden, though sometimes do indulge in Chazz/Aster and Jaden/Aster. Really big Aster/Edo fan, lmao.

Once in a blue moon, I'll post about duel monsters. Kaiba and Joey are funny.

Thanks for reading!

[emotakeru]

So, uhm, I realized I don’t actually follow many yu-gi-oh! blogs and my dash is pretty empty, so:

if you are a ygo blog, about ANY SERIES, interact with this post and I’ll check out your blog and probably follow <3 (I’ll have to follow with my main, @/follow-stardvusto-pls (im,, uu), for... obvious reasons, sorry about that). The only blogs I won’t follow are blogs that have serious amounts of drama or hating on a character/ship/etc in them because I’m trying to keep myself safe from those (sorry!)

Thank you! 💫
