Where did this notion that yugioh didn't have "waifus" or had a small amount of "waifu" cards came from? If you look to the past you can quickly tell how false that is. Can you say that yugioh changed stylistically? Yes but do you really expect yugioh not to change with the times? Like I think people forget that yugioh was orginally a spoof of MTG with some card names and effects old and modern being ripped straight from magic. This also applies to the game orginal art style which was going for the same dark fantasy flair of early magic, this is why you can see some western fantasy sensibilities in the early artworks but as time went on this obviously had to change considering the wider audience tastes changing to prefer softer styles and yes "waifus". And Takahashi was aware of this considering he made the fruit magician girls and recent support of older archetypes from DM with his art came with a "waifu" support as well. It's not like modern yugioh doesn't try to remind true to what yugioh was and looked like you can see that with the MANY grotesque, cool and down right strange monsters still released to this day. granted they may not good but they're there.(If you think about it the roles of "waifu" cards from the past and cool monsters from the past reversed lol) Not only that but if you don't notice the "waifu" cards of today still has the yugioh identity(more defined features, grounded proportions,etc) in them as they don't look like normal anime and are way less moe then your average anime woman that's why you can always tell when a card is from yugioh. The whole point is that you can't be so narrow minded when it comes to art and design like this especially with a franchise that has been going on for 25+ years with tons of artist from all over working on it. Please be more open minded. Also fun fact: Did you know the in universe reason for all the different art styles and monsters in the game is because of the different dimension portals?
