The Yu-Gi-Oh! Thread

@QuasarNova  
Well they are in a Cyber World this time, so they might hack into the luck of the draw this time.

If Arc V was barely juggling with it, they finally dropped the ball. Hard!

Question: Is the franchise underrated?

@Hollowfox the Stallion
 
If anything it peaked and now has cooled down considerably. The fan base that remains is of those who have played the game since it’s inception but the prices some cards demand (plus the meta starting to spin around archetypes while single cards get tossed down the card pool sans a couple exceptions) simply makes it an unsustainable hobby, driving people to opt for an online option and just play the game without having to first purchase the cards.
 
The tournaments while sometimes good, don’t have enough incentives to have people participate in them. Not entirely dying out, but definitely on stale line with no noteworthy peaks so far.

@QuasarNova  
Yeah, but to me it’s more of how Konami was hated by the butthurt Kojima fanboys. And they own Yu-Gi-Oh!
 
On second thought, you have a point.

Well that was a good 1st Episode of VRAINS, freaking love the Opening.

@Background Pony #725D  
ALSO, THIS WAS IN THE OPENING! Here is the song BTW.  

@Background Pony #725D  
Haven’t seen that symbol since the original show.

I’m currently watching the very first Yugioh anime. I’m not talking about the Duel monsters anime but the one commonly known as “season zero”.

@09MurphyM
 
Does it hold up?

@QuasarNova  
Somewhat. Of course, the models and artwork for the cards quickly became outdated when the second anime aired.

@09MurphyM
 
And that green hair

Has anyone else been watching the Marathon on Twitch?

@09MurphyM
 
The what?

@QuasarNova  
The duel monsters marathon on Twitch. It’s the English dub.

@09MurphyM
 
HOLY SHI-
 
>dub  
>utter disgust

@QuasarNova  
The dub may be corny but it was one of 4kids better dubs.

@09MurphyM  
I’ve been watching some of it, but the frequent ad breaks are so obnoxious (even if you don’t get ads you still get a waiting screen).
 
Plus the chat is so overly racist and hateful (which is a given, because it’s mostly made up of 4chan users that think they’re anonymous), spamming TriHard, cmonBruh and ANELE at every opportunity and KappaPride anytime they think something is “gay”. Those are four emotes that I think should be permanently removed, IMO, because they’re almost never used for anything but hateful comments. Some of the non-racist memes are pretty funny though, especially the “TIME TO MINE MORE MONEY FOR TWITCH” one that gets spammed every ad break.

@09MurphyM  
being better than garbage doesn’t really necessitate praise

Reshef of Destruction and Eternal Duelist Soul are fun.
 
But Reshef is a grindfest. The system is nice but what a grindfest.

Right now, I am watching the Japanese version of the Duel monsters anime on Crunchyroll.

re-reading the yugioh manga, been picking up the 3 in one. Currently in the Jounochi vs Rishid story. After the Battle City Arc I plan to read Yugioh R, then Millinium world and finally watch the darkside of dimensions, since it’s manga canon.

@Abarekiller
 
It’s to time! To re-re-rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrread

I personally think that 5Ds was the best one. Since the characters were full grown adults, not children.

They finally added the rest of the 4kids dub of Duel monsters to Netflix.
