Why is he so cool?

>insanely confident, calm and capable
>sick character design
>super smart
I wish I had an alter ego that was this cool.

The coolest thing about Yugioh is Kaiba.

>>283591553
You mean that guy Yugi beat?

>>283591581
I mean the guy who is reading Nietzsche in the first episode of a card game anime.

Takahashi and Oda understand that characters wearing a coat/jacket like a cape is cool as fuck

>>283591553
Kaiba sucks as a character, he's terrible and I hate him. He's too much of a narcissist and lacks good character. He's seriously a handicap in the whole show, his ego takes all the space wherever he goes

>>283591647
I tried to get into One Piece but gave up after Enies Lobby. Meanwhile I got hooked on Yugioh day one. I dunno why.

Faggot.

>>283591308 (OP)
It's because he was inspired by Lelouch. Lelouch also inspired Yagami Light, Uchiha Sasuke, and Reinhard von Lohengramm, among others.

>>283592122
>>283592165
Reminder if you watch Yugioh subbed you are an actual faggot. This series is one of the very very few anime where the dub is absolutely superior to the sub in every single way.

>>283592006
You're not missing anything, One Piece is currently awful. Enies Lobby was the peak of the entire franchise. After the timeskip, everything goes downhill.

>>283592268
In what way is the dub better?

>>283592254
shit bait
>>283592268
nah
>>283592271
also nah, current OP is great. although W7/EL was indeed the peak

>>283592254
Bait or retard?

>>283592295
In everything that doesn't concern actual card game strategy, the sub simply isn't entertaining, any line delivery from the characters is just dry and so to the point that it's boring, the sub also exaggerates the quirks of many characters to the point they become one note with Pegasus being the worst example, with him repeating the same catchphrases endlessly.
The dub on the other hand is meant to entertain you and it worked stupidly well, plus every character doesn't sound like a dumb teenage girl.

>>283591308 (OP)
>>283592254
Yugi was primarily inspired by the three eyed one and devilman.

>>283592254
It is amazing how a shitty Char Aznable rip off can inspire so many people.

>>283592509
>the sub also exaggerates the quirks of many characters to the point they become one note
And the dub doesn't? In what way is Kaiba a more complex character in the dub that he is in the original? In what way is Marik's characterization in the dub?

>>283592509
>Brain so rotted by dopamine that he needs all dialogue to be marvel quips

I once knew a kid who tried to emulate him a lot. Challenged the bullies to a card game to get them to leave him alone. They beat him up so bad.

>>283591308 (OP)
He does smoke marijuana

>>283592924
Pretty much this. I remember the DSOD movie, Kaiba talking about his frustration and feelings and in the dub he's talking about firing people and Yuugi's hair.
And for some reason some people love that

I wish we could get something so genuine soon, rather than the excess of meta and derivative shit we've got these days.

>>283593545
It's Over!
Nothing genuine can ever be made when we're all being monitored 24/7/365 in this NWO surveillance state

The original manga is a ton of fun, and everything since sucks ass. I don't even think the card game is good now and hasn't been for a long time. It's impressive that it's still going though.

>>283593581
Yeah that checks out

>>283592271
Enies Lobby was booty cheeks but at least you dropped it

How are we supposed to even care when we only see him for like 3 episodes?

I miss YGO being just Egyptain themed.

>>283593836
Fucking SAME.
Even though what they could've done is theme every new "generation" after a different (optimally related) historical culture, like, say Ancient Greece.

>>283593836
At least Alexis slaps though dawg

>>283593836
To be fair the monsters were pretty varied from the start. There was a more unified dark/occult flavor to even that stuff, though. The game now is infected with endless lolishit. It looks like a random mobile gacha.

>>283593057

People and anons here tend to joke about everything being solved by card games. But in its universe it makes sense. Shit's basically high tier hexing and summoning, is just that the main characters don't fight with their fists but solve stuff with what is basically "The loser dies" kind of stuff which is pretty serious if you think about it.

>>283594548
I have no idea why unplayers keep spouting this lie that the modern card game is nothing but waifushit. yes there are a number of generic waifu cards and archetypes, but recent set releases are still majoritarily populated by "cool" monsters

I've played it recently for the first time in like 20 years alongside revisiting the manga, which is why the differences are so stark to me. It's a completely different game now, aesthetically and otherwise.

>>283593836
It was not just Egyptian themed

>>283592268
>n-no trust me THIS is the one good dub!
Funny how dubniggers say this about every anime.

>>283591553
Kaiba is a horrible duelists who lost every Duel against against Yugi and the fact that he cant accept that he isn't the best in a simple game really bothers ne
His Deck is shit and overly reliant on big attack beatsticks and bricky but he still pretends to be hit shit because others are worse than him
In the manga at least he doesn't show up after his battle city arc but in the anime they milked the rivalry for all its worth and now Kaiba just looks pathetic

>>283591308 (OP)
Trunks effect
he looks so lame that he loops around to being cool.

>>283596738

Well yeah, things tend to change over 20 years.

>>283595258
Yes there are waifu archetypes but I think they're a fairly recent in Yugioh's history. Vanguard is way worse that turned a staple card that just looked like a kaiju to this gooner shit for an alt art

>>283592297
>>283592271
The peak was Marineford what are you talking about?

>>283592735
Yugioh was inspired by JoJo.

>>283598450
For the much worse in this case. I'm not bitter over it but I wonder how many of the old guard tolerate it.

>>283593628
Yeah the handtrap and floodgates ruined the game. Its all just glorified go fish now but with shameless waifu faggotry to appeal to the lowest common denominator. The good news is that there are retro formats you can still play, the bad news is Jewnami won't support them in any official capacity due to them not making shekels from you buying new product (tm).

>>283595258
Every good deck is waifu shit and doesn't look like pic related.

>>283600224
As an oldfag: nah, it's way better than it was 20 years ago. The game didn't become decent until Synchros came into being in the first place anyway.

>>283600925
Agree to disagree. The game is junk now.

Is Blue Eyes still meta? As long as Blue Eyes is meta the game can be saved.

>>283601291
not anymore because primite no longer meta

I summon pot of greed to draw three additional cards from my deck and I summon pot of greed to draw three additional cards from my deck!!!

>>283600332
The modern game is just handtrap solitaire. It's amusing but it's pretty unbearable even in a casual context.

>>283600108
Sure, partially, but the core concept of an immature wimp who turns into a super evil genius who is tied to ancient and lost civilizations was likely taken from the three eyed one manga. And also his tomboy girlfriend who willingly puts herself at risk just to see his evil side because she thinks he's so cool, that's in that manga too.

>>283591553
Funny way of spelling Jack Atlas anon.

>>283600084
lol
lmao

>>283593836
At least the game has been somewhat moving back to cool Egyptian archetypes. Horus, Millennium, and Odion have all been meta-relevant at some point.

>>283602871
If only the game itself were any good.

>>283592006
Thriller Bark (after Enies) is a fun little spook adventure, and the remaining storyline until the timeskip is great and shit gets real. After that feel free to drop it.

Yugioh wasn't exclusively Egyptian themed, it was based on occultism/mysticism. Takahashi talks about this in the bunkobans iirc.

Yugi's design is taken from DNA²

>>283591553
kaiba is an absolute loser

Remember tributing monsters? Whatever happened to that.

I like the sound effects for when someone loses their life points

>>283600585
no, they aren't

>>283591308 (OP)
Because he is the personification of raw aura. Even though yugi's body is this tiny dorky little manlet, yami's confidence and cool head elevate him to the top of the social hierarchy in the eyes of friends and enemies alike. It's a good lesson to teach kids about self-conduct.

>>283592206
That's literally the appeal of the series, people taking card games so seriously and without a hint of irony. If you don't understand that, you become one of those faggots like LK who have to look at the camera every two seconds to remind people how lame the whole thing is and how ashamed you are for liking it.

>>283592268
the dub cant be superior when it tells an entirely different story. no one gives a shit about you being self aware, youre watching anime, get over yourself

>manlet

>>283612161

>not understand the irony of you being a whiny bitch about height is the very definition of being uncool

>>283604485
It's fun for what it is. There are games like MTG or Digimon if you prefer a more normal TCG flow, but there's essentially else that scratches the Yugioh itch. Full balls to the wall combos and 20 interactions in only a few turns.

>>283608817
>yami's confidence and cool head elevate him to the top of the social hierarchy in the eyes of friends and enemies alike.

>>283610007
Good dubs should be transformative. Otherwise, I would just watch it subtitled. Also, I can't believe I am the only person here who likes Kaiba. I remember him being the most popular character when the show was airing.

god he's so FUCKING COOL AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>283613173
The problem is it makes almost every match feel the same. It's just hoping you can get through your solitaire before the opposing played can piss on it with the same handtraps or the other way around. Archetypes and concepts just don't matter when everything is linked and/or searchable. It's boring. There are other games, but Yugioh also used to be one of them.

>>283592006
>Enies Lobby.
Ends with volume 44, longer than the entire Yugioh manga ran, how did you read One Piece for that long without liking it?

>>283615054
Of course she is. Takahashi >>> studio goons.

>>283605845
Is that how like vrains sort of took Ai's design from DNAngel?

>>283617621
I didn't dislike it, it was just always sitting consistently at "enjoyable enough, I guess" and by Enies Lobby I just didn't think it was worth it to keep going, especially since EL was like the third "it gets good here bro, trust me" arc I passed that didn't grab me all that much.

>>283591308 (OP)
>the excessive poses
>the cloth foldings overblown to the point they look like other stuff (like a cape)
>the shadows carefully enhancing said fantastic foldings
It's really simple honestly. And this is before Kaiba; one of the best autistic unhinged rivals ever created.

I think it's because I'm more a fan of narratives that focus on one conflict with a limited set of characters at a time, whereas OP likes to juggle multiple conflicts and characters to the point where it's hard for me to get super invested in any of them.

I liked the Awakening of the Dragons arc because it was completely out of context to the rest of the Shadow Games and Zorc's eventual resurrection. "Amnesiac Egyptian Pharaoh wields Atlantean magic to stop an eldritch horror" is a pretty cool setup. Too bad nobody considered keeping the Seal of Orichalcos after the arc was over, there was even a regular, non-soul stealing version of the card.

Would've been neat to see something like Yugi play it to surprise Atem during the Ceremonial Duel, showing it's not a Shadow Game and nobody's soul is at risk, so it's now just another asset.

How does the Quantum Cube exist? It was called the "Eighth Millennium Item", but the Millennium Items were created by Akhenaden by slaughtering the civilians of Kul Elna, mixing their blood and bones into gold to curse the gold, and then pouring the molten gold into a mold. There's no slot for it on the Millennium Tablet.

Also, why does the Millennium Ring still have Zorc's influence in it after Yami Bakura was exorcised from the ring? It didn't affect Atem wen he collected it after defeating Bakura/Zorc in the Memory World RPG.

Yusei is cooler.
