#what the fuck happens in yugioh Hello, dearly beloved mutual. Allow me to describe the first chapter of YuGiOh's manga to you.

We open with a page drawn in the style of art found in Ancient Egyptian tombs and buildings, depicting Anubis instructing a human mortal to stab what appears to be some kind of thin rectangular item atop the mortal's own hand. This is described to the reader as a Shadow Game, in which fate itself was decided.

Anyway, cut to modern day Japan, where a teenage boy with crazy hair has brought a Pop-up Pirate toy to school and is messing around with it on his desk during lunch break. One of his classmates tells him to stop playing games all by himself, and come play basketball with the rest of the class. The boy declines, saying that whenever he plays that kind of game his team always loses.

After his classmate leaves, the boy laments not being able to play his kind of game with everyone and puts his pirate toy away having finished a round. With most of the class having gone, he instead pulls out a less flashy toy - a golden box containing a puzzle. Scrawled all over the box are Ancient Egyptian letters.

Oh no! He'd thought everyone had left the classroom, but the class bullies stayed behind and steal his puzzle. The short, unathletic boy is unable to get it back- but don't worry! His taller, more athletic female friend gets it back for him and chases the bullies away.

Once the bullies are gone, the two friends talk over the puzzle and it's box and the short boy, the main character Yugi Muto, tells her that the hieroglyphs say something along the lines of, "Whoever solves this puzzle shall be be granted one wish..." and that the puzzle is a gift from his former archeologist grandfather.

Outside the classroom, one of the bullies reveals he stole a piece of the puzzle and tosses it out a window into the school pool where it sinks down to the bottom.

After school, Yugi and his friend, Anzu Mazaki, go to Yugi's house where his grandfather tells Anzu the true story of the puzzle- that it is connected to Ancient Egyptian "Shadow Games" and that the hieroglyphs actually say, "The one who solves me shall gain the power and knowledge of darkness..." But before he can continue, Yugi interrupts him saying that it's like he already told Anzu! Clearly, granting the power and knowledge of darkness and granting wishes are the same thing.

The next day at school, a member of the disciplinary committee, Ushio, has taken the matter of Yugi's tormentors into his own hands. Believing Yugi will be happy with what he's done, he calls out to him and shows him the fruit of his labor - the two bullies beaten a bloody black and blue, no longer able to stand. Horrified, as this punishment is far worse than anything the two boys ever did to Yugi, Yugi instead rushes in-between Ushio and the bullies to protect him, proclaiming them his friends. Angered by this, Ushio demands Yugi pay his protection fee of 200,000 yen (around USD $1,850 in the year of the manga's release) and gives him the same punishment he gave his "friends" as a warning of what will continue to happen to him if he doesn't pay.

That night, as Yugi laments what he is supposed to do, he works on his puzzle. Finding himself making more progress than he ever has in the eight years he's had it. Eventually, he winds up only one piece away from finishing the puzzle-- but the last piece is gone, having been stolen and thrown away by one of the bullies the day before. Just as Yugi loses all hope he'll ever solve the puzzle, his grandfather enters his room and tells him that one of his friends from school came by to return something to Yugi.

Having came to Yugi's grandfather soaking wet and asking him to keep the details a secret from Yugi, the bully, Jounouchi, toldYugi's grandfather who was responsible for the bruises Yugi came home with as well as about the extortion attempt. While Yugi is distracted by the return of his missing puzzle piece, Yugi's grandfather slips an envelope filled with money into Yugi's backpack so that Ushio won't target him anymore. As he closes the door to Yugi's room and walks down the hall, Yugi's grandfather finishes the story of the puzzle in his mind, hoping that his grandson will really become "a guardian of justice who passes down judgement on evil" and be safe from people like Ushio.

Inside the room, Yugi pushes the final piece of the puzzle into place... And the eye engraved upon that piece begins to beam light directly into Yugi's face, causing a third eye to open up upon his forehead.

The scene transitions, and we see Ushio talking about being surprised Yugi called him out to meet in front of the school in the middle of the night. Sitting atop some gym equipment that was left outside, we see Yugi. But he has changed - his wide-eyed youthful expression has gone away, replaced with a sinister smirk and glare.

He pulls out the money that his grandfather left in his backpack, and says instead of merely handing it over they'll play a game to determine how much money Ushio gets. His grandfather had put double Ushio's asking amount in the envelope, so Ushio potentially has a lot to gain by agreeing to play the game. Deciding that playing a game is more interesting than just beating up Yugi again and taking the money, Ushio agrees.

This dark, shadow Yugi then pulls out a knife and reveals that the game they'll be playing is the same one as was on the first page of the story - they will place the money atop the back of their own hands, and stab into the money with the knife to determine how much money they each get to keep.

Although initially willing to play the game, Ushio ends up declaring that there's a far easier way to get the money- after all, Yugi handed him the knife. Intending to stab Yugi through his skull, he is interrupted by the third eye's reappearance upon Yugi's forehead.

As Ushio was unable to obey the rules of the game, the shadow Yugi declares he will inflict a penalty game upon him - The Illusion of Avarice. From that moment forward, Ushio is unable to see anything around him but the illusion that he is surrounded by money. Lost to his greed, Ushio jumps for joy and starts running around trying to collect all that he sees before him, forgetting Yugi entirely. Collecting his grandfather's money, the only real money around, the shadow Yugi leaves the scene, remarking that he has to go return the money.

The next day, students gather around the front of the school in horrified awe at the state of Ushio - he has surrounded himself with fallen tree leaves and tossed aside garbage, declaring all the riches to be his and he won't share them with any of the other students.

Yugi walks past this display, yawning and out of it. He seems to be under the impression that after solving the puzzle last night he simply fell asleep, not recalling the game we saw him play nor the punishment he doled out. Despite his injuries, he is overjoyed about solving the puzzle and brightens up from his tired state when he looks at it.

Waiting for him inside the school is Jounouchi, the former bully who found and returned the final piece of the puzzle. After asking Yugi how his injuries are and Yugi asking after him in turn, Jounouchi tells Yugi that just like Yugi's found his own treasure in the puzzle, Jounouchi found one too. When Yugi asks what it is, Jounouchi points out that if you put the first characters of their names together, "yu," and "jou," you get the Japanese word for friendship- yujou. Realizing that his wish has been granted, Yugi is even more overjoyed than he was over finishing the puzzle... and somehow, a chapter of a shounen manga about kids almost stabbing themselves and each other with knives ends with a cheesy pun that would inspire decades of fujoshi.

Somehow the stakes only continue to go up from there, even after the manga somehow becomes about a card game because of reader demand after one of the Villains of the Day challenges Yugi to a deadly card game. But, the comic you reblogged can be understood just with the first chapter so I'll leave out the times Yugi commits arson, Anzu smashes someone's head in with a globe, and Jounouchi kills a guy with a yo-yo. Hope this helps and/or inspires you to read the YGO manga for yourself (the best version of YGO imo).

Bestie honestly this has sold me on reading bare minimum the first chapter i am LIVING. All I knew about Yu-Gi-OH before was that I watched one episode of the English Dub version and the name Joey Wheeler got stuck in my head. That's it. Nothing else stuck.

And I don't mean “I only just got into this 30 year old thing!” or "Well, the spin-of of this 20+ year old franchise is really good." No, I mean what is the most recently made thing you've gotten into.

the bitchy hyperfeminine mean girl archetype of the 2000s and 2010s was a misogynistic attempt to cast intentional “overdone” femininity as inherently vain, stupid, duplicitous and evil but all they did was give an entire generation of dykes a thing for mean femmes
