And he's a total daddy who actually confirmed himself to being bi.

You’ve never heard of YuGiOh? Were you born after 2005?

…yugioh is obscure???

@@droppings did you not watch the video?

I recommend the History of Japanese TCGs series by Maniax Channel. He had a two parter on the first two years of the OCG.

Same! I got into JWittz for his Pokemon content but fairly recently got really into YGO so getting more like this would be great!

I've always preferred Yu-Gi-Oh to Magic anyway 'cause it's the superior card game.

Yugioh 1998: Each card comes with its own rule!! Yugioh 2023: Each card comes with its own rule book!!!

Pendulum cards really messed with the game. I think overlay was interesting, Synchro was fine, we definitely needed fusions with GX but Pendulums were absurd.

​@@TheMahayanistImagine being in 2023 still thinking that Pendulums are an issue.

@@TheMahayanist but actually link cards really ruin the game (more than it already is without link cards)

@@TheMahayanist Pendulum cards are trash and did nothing noteworthy for the tournament level. Link monsters are the ones that accelerate the game to its current state.

May a flock of Winged Kuriboh sing him to his rest.

Believe in the heart of the card

He died?! :(

Manteremos o legado de Takahashi vivo, descanse em paz.🇧🇷🇯🇵

@@MP-hb3ij I don't speak the language.

Sounds like a sweet collection! Those promos are hard to get 😯

That’s super cool, I really love it when someone is a dedicated collector of something! There’s just no passion quite like collecting an old card set or maybe a specific kind of card or figure!

I can't find four of the decks I'd created, they were last seen before I got my room together.

@@TheJWittz I Should Be OLDER That Yugioh

I think that's the main reason it would have gotten changed is because there's already Magic the Gathering (like having to change Magic cards to Spell cards )

@@CatsRul85 I mean, it was called Magic and Wizards because it was a not-so-subtle parody of Magic the Gathering(made by Wizards of the Coasts) because in the early days of the manga each chapter focused on a parody of real 90's fads that happened/was happening in Japan, each with their own unique villain.

Cardassss!!!!!

Why not do a Collab that would be awesome 👍😎👍

YGO Abridged has burned it into my brain for the rest of my life

@@TheJWittz J-Wittz? Can you check out the Worker-Right-Coverage trying to help the Workerclass that 'Some More News' made and decide if its worth-sharing?

The ending song is still the better song in my opinion. The piano at the beginning is just beautiful.

Or just JWittz content in general, he's a total daddy.

@@smb-c3po *dad

@@SumTr011 And he's a total daddy.

@@smb-c3po nah

@@SumTr011 Yeah, he's a total daddy and he's actually confirmed to be bi.

It's actually even funnier than that. The rules never specify a limit on how many duplicates of a card you're allowed to have, so you in theory could have a deck with nothing _but_ Exodia cards.

Imagine if the decks are just all Exodia, and the game then becomes, who can Exodia the fastest

@@rmzing This one character in the anime basically had that deck. It was one of the rare hunters from Battle City

@@Kaiser00Wilhelm From what I remember of the video games, he literally has no name. Straight spiky white hair that doesn't ever go out to the sides, and they just call him "Rare Hunter".

That sounds like a REALLY easy way to mix up and take home each other's cards

@@GigaOtomia the dub referred to Marik's whole organization as "The Rare Hunters" and that guy was just one of them. In the original the organization was "The Ghouls" and the one with Exodia was codenamed "Rare Hunter." Some early English tie in stuff (like Dark Duel Stories) call him Seeker instead for some reason

Yeah I love the dragon card game I wish they actually made Yu-Gi-Oh cards of that dragon game

I miss the little "mini-games" from the DM era. You know, when part of the toyline, that I also miss, included games.

@@Bezaliel13 Yeah for me my favorite was The dragon game because I felt I had so much potential and probably the best game to come out if it actually exist more realistic than the others

@@omegaphoenix7085 Be nice if those dragons got cards.

I miss the early Yu-Gi-Oh as well. I thought the manga was written so much better than the anime adaptation as well. The anime doesn’t realize that Bakura is a main villain for a long time, and they use him like a side character who pops up and does spoooooky things…. Meanwhile, if you read the manga, you get given bits and pieces of Bakura doing evil things behind the scenes. He shows up constantly and manipulates things from the shadows. The final game he plays with Yugi is amazing as well. It feel disconnected and out of nowhere if you only watch the anime, but it’s a perfect parallel to his first introduction in the series where he plays an RPG with Yugi and his friends. I think the manga even references that this game will be similar to their first, and that game never happened in the anime. Plus original Dark Yugi was a badass, and there was proper character development given to him to make him a mysterious character. The scene with Kaiba in Duelist Kingdom versus Dark Yugi also makes a lot more sense. There really wasn’t any reason for little Yugi to be afraid of the Dark Yugi in the anime version, but the audience has seen what Dark Yugi has done to people in the manga so it hits us harder as well.

I kind of want to see the Season 0 plot reimagined in the mainline anime (season 1 and later) style. The flashback in season 1 to the "mugger" that Atem mind-crushed kind of hinted at that, and it would have been interesting to see the original idea expressed in Takahashi's later style.

The problem lies in the fact that it wasn't really drawing in viewers. Which is why it was cancelled and semi-rebooted.

Me too tbh

Sad

@@TheJWittz his voice is great

Perfect timing!

Her design is pretty basic but I love it all the same

Yugi wasn’t a Psychopath; Kaiba was though.

heheheh carddass

@@pn2294 Well, he does burn a guy to death.

@@cookieface80 that guy was a serial killer

I went back. it's been 11 years, I remember getting excited by your card of the day.

When I play--and it's just me and my niece and nephews--it's bare bones. We like to be able to keep the flow rather than spending 5 minutes reading the card and trying to figure out what it's trying to tell us so we could use it properly every turn or so. We find it more fun that way.

@@FallenAngelHiroko Personally I only play with the Yu-Gi-Oh videogames but yeah, I can see why that is a good option. I don't see myself teaching someone every rule in the game, heck I don't think I would find someone with enough interest to learn everything

Only reason I know about it is that there's a small youtube channel called Maniax Channel that talked about the History of Japanese Trading Card Games and the 10th episode is about this whole really weird early Yugioh era such as before you had to tribute monsters and before Konami had control

Pat same, and didn't know you love Yugioh too

I also see you every time in comments of videos I also watched.

Well, Ancient Greece did have trade and relations with Ancient Egypt, so it’s not impossible

I’ll always be a huge fan of Digimon from before Namco became part of it, but I’ll be the first to admit Ban Dai are doing way better now

I'M BACK, BAYBEEEEEE
