What the hell is this thing?

>>714071879 (OP)
A vial of some magical liquid, everything above the blue crystal thing is just a really fancy lid

>>714071879 (OP)
JO-crystal

>>714071879 (OP)
Buttplug that will wake up just about anyone, even if they're already dead.

>>714071879 (OP)
Biblically accurate angel.

>>714071879 (OP)
it's monster reborn

what else do you need to know?

>>714071879 (OP)
AI generated slop looks so bad
Art has no soul anymore

>>714072173
Why did the anime call it "Reborn the Monster"

>>714071879 (OP)
Badly made dog shit, because an ankha is too offensive for American sensibilities apparently.

>>714071879 (OP)
Life, you virgins

>>714071879 (OP)
It's a transformation trinket!
You shout:
>EGYPTIAN SUN POWER! MAKE-UP!
And become Dark Magician Girl!

>>714071879 (OP)
That is MONSTER REBORN

>>714072305
Wtf woman have balls now?

>>714072885
>now

>>714071879 (OP)
some weird censored art
the original is just an ankh

I always thought it was a stylized anhk

>>714072305
Bravo, From

>>714072000

>>714071879 (OP)
I always thought it was some kind of sword you plunged in your monster to revive, but there's no actual handle

>>714071879 (OP)
>>714072305
Need monster reborn womb tattoo

There's also an ankh alternative version.

>>714074361
thats not the alternative version retard that's the original, Americans couldn't handle the ankh so they had to change it

>>714071879 (OP)
this, my friend, is SOVL.
i miss old YGO artwork so much

>>714071879 (OP)
so why was the ankh censored again? I can sort of understand censoring crosses even if it's silly, but an ankh, were they afraid to offend egyptians

>>714071879 (OP)
censorship

>>714071879 (OP)
Its censorship. Its supposed to be an Ankh.

>>714075248
Things were better when you were younger

>>714075251
it's just nonsense
Like they're afraid of angel halos when every single depiction of angels in murrican media of all shapes have halos

>>714075251
all religious symbols had to be changed because of "American sensibilities"

>>714074795
It's crazy how even the cards got the 4kids treatment, like that one spell or trap card equivalent to exodia spelling out FINAL instead of DEATH.

>>714075456
They unironically were though.

>>714072438
>Sailor DMG
I would

>>714072232
That artwork is from 2003, propably even older.

>>714075251
>were they afraid to offend egyptians
Stuff like that would have pissed off christian boomers because they would see it as promoting devil worship to children or something like that.
There was a huge controversy around D&D promoting satanism, and around the same time as Yugioh there was a big thing with people getting pissed off that Pokemon was promoting evolution.

burgers fear religion

What's the deal with Mystic Tomato TCG being much scarier and evil and murderous looking than the OCG one?

>>714072885
BEHOLD! The female benis :DDDD

>>714072438
I don't remember that part of Yu Gi Oh

>>714075851
Looked like a Halloween pumpkin

>>714075851
the ocg uses the anime design

>>714075842
Lmao fuck Americans

>>714075812
>there was a big thing with people getting pissed off that Pokemon was promoting evolution.
american christians are so fucking funny it's unreal, this sounds like some performance art shitposting or something

>>714074795
>egyptian trinket no kid would get the reference of vs literal holy water to some false god
these censors aren't the brightest

>>714075893

>>714075842
It's even called Witch-hunt.

>>714075812
>people getting pissed off that Pokemon was promoting evolution.
I heard about Pokemon being decried over shit like implied animal abuse and even left-field shit like devil worship but I've never heard about promoting evolution or that being an issue. Like even back in the 90s I assumed Creationist communities were massively in the minority in the states and everyone else mostly ignored them/were embarassed by them but now you're saying this was an actual issue? Seriously?

>>714075842
why can't nuYGO have art like right anymore
everything is just overdesigned pastels

>>714076507
they ran out of ideas years ago; nowadays everything is just waifus since its the easy way out

>>714075248
>>714075842
i only know the old cards, can you post some new ones for comparison?

>>714071879 (OP)
I thought this thread was a joke.
There is some kind of crystal associated with old medicine.
pic rel is called master healer

>>714077494
Sure the bottom part is a crystal, but what the fuck is the top?

>>714076458
He's making shit up. Not even Americans are that stupid.

>>714071879 (OP)
This honestly looks better and more soulful than the original TEE BEE H

>>714075842
Honestly I think the left fits better anyway.

>>714077590
looks like some average non sensical Art Nouveau ornament

>>714072000
lol
>>714076196
Ancient Egypt is one of the few foreign nations that American school teaches kids about.

>>714071879 (OP)
i always thought it looks like a fancy motorcycle...

>>714078429
What?

>>714078937
Nta, but I can kind of see it, if you imagine it as a full-front view with the crystal as the front tire, the red gem as a headlight, and the ornaments stretched out as handlebars.

>>714071879 (OP)
A key that opens the door to the dead

>>714071879 (OP)
Something even the Japs make fun of.

>>714079805
lmao

>>714075716
even more crazy is how it's still happening to this day, for the most retarded reasons
gif related, a card released in 2025

>>714079956
Are they for real.
At some point you wonder if this kind of thing happens because whoever works on the censorship needs to justify his position somehow.

>>714072305

>>714074795
>weird curvy things
:(
>weird curvy things japan
:)

It looks like he started drawing a sword and then gave up

>>714077207
New ones are just very detailed dragons and space robots

>>714077207
there was a better meme but I couldn't find it

>>714080410
>>weird curvy things

>>714071879 (OP)
DMG’s dildo

>>714080638
nice retarded meme made for retarded people

>>714081705
You basically posted every anime girl aside from DMG there.

>>714081705
>left
generic anime artstyle
>right
kazuki takahashi style of drawing, unique for the time

yeah you have shit taste I'm sorry

>>714081965
yeah, sure

>>714082481
>thing I didn't experience as a child
:-|
>thing I did experience as a child
:-O

>>714082493
Yeah the difference is nowadays 40-50% of new releases every set are female only archetypes

>>714082717
no it isn't.

>>714081705
>>714082493
But even those anime girls are distinct and have grit. Set any of these next to Raye and they'd still stand out.

>>714077207

>>714082493
all kino, all new cards are gay and pozzed btw you lost zoomer trooner

>>714082646
Yeah.
Someone like you who grew up with the shit modern design sensibilities wouldn't appreciate peak Yu-gi-oh.

Both yu gi oh and mtg are dead to me.
I miss when artwork was so good you wanted to hang it on your wall.

>>714084917
I played yugioh before you were even born, Adhominem-kun. peak yugioh was 2010 and 2014, and modern is miles better than the "soulful original"

>>714085295
>modern is miles better than the "soulful original"
not only do ou have shit taste for art but for the game too holy shit, I'm sorry you are this mentally challenged

Alright, I think I'm ready to hop online. Wish me luck fellas. I used to crush local tournaments with this bad boy back in the day so I'm pretty confident I'll win my first few matches

>>714086071
ah yes, the rich arguments of someone who clearly didn't actually play yugioh back then
the game was basic, had no strategy, every deck was a pile of the exact same cards and every duel was decided by whoever drew Dark Hole + Monster Reborn first
you don't miss early yugioh. you miss being a kid

>>714087000
I mostly miss when internet meta netdecking didn't completely ruin the fun of TCGs

>>714087000
and yet it was still a healthy back and forth game
unlike the current state of the game where everything is centralized and decided between in 1-2 turns

>>714087000
ah yes because playing solitary with a deck composed of 50% handtraps is so good, I love watching my opponent go through his entire deck in 1 turn for like 20 minutes straight
the only thing you said that I agree with is that 2010 - 2014 was the best era

>>714082493
all yugioh monster girls can rape me to death

>>714086219
that reminds me of the first time i played on university
>heard there is some yugioh group
>search my old bug deck + traps n bring it up
>forget is nu yugioh and my old deck would get smashed
>play a match
>opponent takes like 15 minutes to finish his turn
>finally attacks
>activate magic cilynder after baiting him with other traps
>win by doing nothing
>didnt even had the chance to play great moth (again)

>>714077207

>>714071879 (OP)
I always thought it was a sword idk I don’t think about it too much. Why does it have fur on top
