An AU based on something that just happened to me (my traumas my fics xD)

Liberashipping, lovers to friends to lovers again, maybe Mpreg?

Yugi and Marik had a relationship a long time ago, in that relationship they had two children, due to differences in how they wanted to lead their lives they decided to separate.

Yugi stays with the children and Marik leaves, for many years Marik only maintained communication with his children and saw them occasionally when Marik returned to the city, he and Yugi only saw each other when Marik wanted to take the children somewhere.

One day Yugi becomes seriously ill, his children (who are now old enough to work) take him to the hospital, the doctor who treats him says that he needs emergency surgery, they register him and transfer him to the pre-op room.

Yugi comes out of the surgery well and stays hospitalized for a while to recover. Marik, for some reason, feels that something is wrong and for the first time in years calls Yugi's cell phone directly.

They have a talk to catch up on things and how work and life have been going, then Yugi tells him that he is hospitalized and why, Marik promises to go visit him as soon as he can get back to Japan, Yugi tells him that It is not necessary, the call was enough.

Yugi leaves the hospital a month later, his oldest son looks for a job that allows him to go out or be absent if necessary to be able to take care of Yugi, his youngest son reduces his class hours at the university and takes care of the game store and also takes care of of Yugi to stop Yugi from doing something.

Marik returns, and not only that but he buys all the medicines that Yugi needs and also other things so that he is comfortable while he finishes recovering.

Marik leaves again, but now he constantly keeps in touch with Yugi, more than with his own children.

On his youngest son's birthday he calls Yugi's phone, congratulates his son and then starts talking to Yugi, they talk for three hours, they laugh, they gossip, they remember the past and then Yugi drops a comment:

I was never jealous or prevented you from doing things

That hits them both, because they probably never stopped loving each other, they simply wanted to do different things with their lives and decided that it was healthier to be separated to avoid fights, misunderstandings and that one of them will start to hate the other.

Ishizu realizes his brother's internal debate, with many years of experience she tells him to do what he considers right and to make his heart feel light.

Marik thinks, the things that prevented him from staying by Yugi's side are no longer a problem (freedom, discovering the world, doing things that he would not have been able to do if he had stayed), he is older, he is old, and returning to who he considers his home makes him feel warm inside.

Marik goes to Japan, to the game store, when he knocks it is Yugi who opens it, when he sees Yugi's big eyes half closed due to the sleepiness caused by the medications, he knows that it is the right decision.

"I think going back to Japan is the best, so I can see you three." Marik knows he can't go back just like that, he has to win Yugi back.

When Yugi notices Marik's intentions, he has his reservations because he has already lived a large part of his life without him, he had other partners and has dedicated himself to his career as a game creator and his children, he never need someone else and Marik was a memory.

After a long time (really long), Yugi decides to give Marik ONE chance, an opportunity that Marik exploits to the fullest, showing Yugi that this time he is not going to fail or leave his side.

#Yugi is like my mother #and Marik like my father #and yes #my dad called my mom and yes they talked a long time #and no #they are not coming back #that's just to make the fic cuter xd #yugioh #ygo #yugi mutou #marik ishtar #liberashipping

In my recent post I mentioned I think Amane's dialogue in Chapter 111 is meant to echo his mother's sentiments in Chapter 79 and to prove that I thought it would be fun to compare their original dialogue. After doing so, I was pretty pleased with the results!

They do not use the exact same phrasing but it's pretty close. Here is the original dialogue:

Amane: 「中身の入れ替わったナニカなのかー」

Mrs. Yugi: 「中身は全く別の何かにすり替わっている...!!」

And wow! Even if you don't understand Japanese, you should be able to tell there's a great similarity between these. Even better, Amane says ナニカ which is just another way to say 何か.

And just to keep everyone on track, here's a quick and literal translation of what they're saying:

Amane: "or if something had replaced him on the inside"

Mrs. Yugi: "something completely different has replaced him on the inside...!"

Like mother like son, huh. ^^

Deep in my enemy I find the lover;

Scene from a post-DSOD AU (ryou sandwich = tendershipping + gemshipping) I've been picking at for a while.

Part I is detailed here (contains malik/ryou but the relationship ends).

Part II is in progress (the actual tender/gem saga).

Everything will be posted under the #occult killer au tag when it's done. But here's a summary, so major spoilers.

Post-DSOD, supernatural entities start targetting Ryou. While figuring out why, he fights them with the help of his friends. On top of that, Bakura reappears, followed by Thief King Bakhura―and it definitely doesn't help when Ryou instigates/ends up in a very complicated (and physical) relationship with the two.

Eventually, the mystery unravels. The final entity reveals to Ryou that he's been an anomaly for a very long time: He was supposed to die in that car crash as a kid, but due to being Bakura's destined host (the events of YGO needing to happen), the accident took Amane and his mother in exchange. This devastates him.

What Ryou and Yugi initally thought was a "new evil" born because the Millennium Items were disturbed once again during the events of DSOD is really just the Outer Gods now more aggressively trying to restore a long lost "balance" (Ryou has "died" a total of three times in YGO but is brought back each time because of Bakura/'s influence). As long as Ryou's borrowed lives are not "returned", entities will always be after him/attempt to take the lives of those around him as compensation.

"Death is your gift."

This AU started because of two things: ① the slew of fanart I see of Ryou beating Bakura up/threatening to throw the Ring away, ② Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer reminding me of Bakura 🤭 (demon, pale hair, black coat, Spike dresses like a punk vs JP Bakura talks like a street punk, Buffy is stronger than Spike vs Ryou defeats Bakura in Monster World). I'm like, ah yes. Tendercore jk.

Anyway, the story takes some inspiration from Buffy (scenes and lines are borrowed), but it's not a 1:1 AU. It's not a vampire AU either. This comic is actually inspired by dialogue from Buffy S6E10.

If you're wondering what's up with Bakura's outfit, it's based on Takahashi-sensei's illustration (the IG link there no longer works). It plays a role in this story btw (even the nail polish). It's not just a glowup to me!

#bakura ryou #yami bakura #tendershipping #ryou bakura #dark bakura #thatumbrellaoniart #ygo #yugioh #occult killer au #yuugiou #umbrella #bakubaku #imagine bakuras surprise when he returns and ryou beats him up when he steps out of line #it fucking hurt but strangely he is aroused #as for thief king... if youre familiar with buffy yall can take a guess how he comes back maybe #theres also angstshipping in part 1 since malik echoes angel/angelus' role #it ends tho #and no weird dangling of it like in buffy #we are spuffy/Bakubaku here #I just want something about ryous constant resurrection because I dont see anything about it ever #ryou most underutilized character #so much potential you can do so much with him!#so look at me #Im the captain now #if this story were a lighthearted comedy itd be called how to train your demon #also this is not a love triangle

CHAPTER 111 OF TBHK!

I hate TBHK.

MY POOR BOY, do not listen to your brother he’s mentally ill, he’s not in his right mind.

I like how Tsukasa calls people weird when they don’t know what they want. Like with Kou when he was in the Red House.

Amane is weird, he says he hates Tsukasa, but he can’t stand when they’re apart. Such a weirdo, not knowing what he wants.

For the people who say that this proves Tsukasa is fake, please reread the Red House arc again, especially the last part.

Like mother like son though, I guess. Their mother also thought Tsukasa was a fake.

Even though the change of Tsu is visible after being in the Red House and merging with the dark entity, he’s still Tsukasa.

Tsukasa and the entity resign in the same body, they are the same person now.

Amane’s so sensitive.

He’s not able to handle the rejection. Tsukasa still wants to leave, even after Amane’s tried to tell him they can never be together again ( And he doesn’t want that ), his feelings didn’t reach his brother. Tsukasa still wants to leave him.

He’s not in the right mind, coming up with this conclusion is just showing his instability.

And, in the Manga Up translation Tsukasa actually yells “Amane, behind you!”

But now it’s kind of dull. Interesting, though?

Maybe Iro just doesn’t what Tsu to yell or scream or something.

I like that Kako says ‘so-called imposter’. He knows Tsukasa isn’t a fake, it’s what inside of him.

And the fact Hanako still moves to protect him and Tsukasa, even after calling him a fake.

TSUKASA GRABBING HANAKO LIKE HE WAS GOING TO MOVE AND PROTECT HIM. OH MY GOD.

Gay a**.

Kako’s Santa Claus.

What does he mean by ‘eating away’ at Kamome?

The entity is the root of the problem. But what problem?

We aren’t talking about the yorishiros…. The clock? Natsuhiko destroyed the clock though?

What is the entity doing?

I’ve heard people had a theory about this. Congrats, you all were correct!

I didn’t know what the entity was at all. Now we have an idea.

I wonder how it got to the Yugi’s house then?

It’s not good for supernaturals or humans.

Then, I wonder if it’s ever affected Tsukasa before. As a human, and as a supernatural. Or maybe it hasn’t, since they’re the same person.

Now they’re in 1968.

The Clock Keepers are trying to prevent whatever happened here, and make a new presents.

They could have went back to when Tsukasa granted wishes to the dark entity under his house. They could have went to the time Tsukasa got back from the Red House. Even when he got murdered by his brother.

But, they went back to when they were just 12 years old.

What happened then?

What happened during that time, that’s supposed to be the root of why all of this is happening, whatever is happening?

At least Nene knows something is up, she always does.

I’m hoping she can at least do something to stop the Clock Keepers.

Maybe, that means working with someone to stop this, she can’t do this by herself.

Maybe, a certain Yugi? Tsukasa, purhaps?

This is what he meant.

you know, i've seen a few symphogear fanworks about the alchemist trio just chilling out in the symphogear wielders' heads like yami yugi after axz instead of saint-germain just showing up once in xv, but they mainly focus on saint-germain being in hibiki's head or cagliostro being in chris's head. i wanna know how tsubasa deals with prelati

saint-germain: "i am glad that i can leave my vision of a world free of oppression in your hands, tachibana hibiki. that said, i will not write your history essay for you. there are some challenges you must overcome alone. also say hello to your mother for me."

cagliostro: "hey chris, how's my bestie? listen, i need you to go up to hibiki and flirt with her. i have a new pickup line i've been brainstorming and i wanna see what hearing it does to germy. don't worry about miku it'll be fine. i'll help you cheat on your math test if you do it!"

prelati: "...you gonna eat that kid?"

Okay, let's talk about something random

Omg, it's so embarrassing >.<

So, it's been a while since I created this account and I've already gained some followers, thank you all for that :3 (it means you like the crazy things I post)

So I wanted to talk a little about myself (even though I think no one cares XD)

Ok, I'm going to be serious now XDDD

I created this account because I really like JSHK and I wanted to talk about some crazy ideas or theories about the series and I felt welcomed here ^u^

I want you to know that a lot of things I post are just some crazy ideas that I occasionally have and that it's okay if you disagree, be kind S2 or if you agree I'll be happy if you want to talk to me about it :3

In fact, I hope you feel free to talk to me if you want, whether with an Ask or a message, I love talking about JSHK, if you also love and like crazy theories you can come talk to me if you want.

Don't take the things I say here too seriously, about the theories specifically, I may change my mind in the future or it's just crazy in my head, the most important thing for me is not to be right, but to have fun!

I'm trying to unravel the story in the most entertaining way I can, so it's okay with me if I'm wrong about the things I post (because no one other than Aidairo knows what's actually going to happen) XDD

Anyway, that's it.

Some other information that I don't know if you're interested in but I'll leave it here.

I am a girl

I'm Brazilian, I'd like to make that clear because if there are any Brazilians who also want to talk to me, feel free! (Sou brasileira, gostaria de deixar isso claro porque se tiver algum brasileiro que também queira falar comigo sinta-se a vontade!)

I speak English and Portuguese

I post randomly, but I usually post a lot because I tend to create theories and crazy ideas out of completely nothing.

Anyway, that's all, if you've read this far, thank you very much for giving me your attention :3

Bye bye~

#12K12Days: 12/13 Favorite Character

Nakajima Youko is fr fr my favorite character in 12K, and one of my favorite fictional characters in general.

I first came across the Twelve Kingdoms anime as a pre-teen, and the historical fantasy vibe immediately captured my interest. The synopsis sounded cool, and—most importantly to baby ace me—there was no talk of romance being a defining arc in the show.

there's nothing wrong with romance arcs, but because most of the female-led stuff i was aware of at the time had one—especially Fushigi Yugi, which was around at the same time and had superficial similarities with Twelve Kingdoms—I was elated that Youko's story never centers around romance, but on her growth and integrity in other aspects.

Like. She starts out as being a hypocritical, wishy-washy people-pleaser who doesn’t really stand up for her own values, mostly because of how she was raised in a household with rigid gender roles. Her father demanded meek submission from her as a "proper lady", and her mother was complicit in it. Youko was taught to "be a good girl," where being a good girl meant being subservient to other people's wishes—especially men—and never standing out... something that her natural-born auburn hair complicates. It's something she's born with, but her father and teacher makes her dye it to fit in, and places the fault on Youko for "standing out too much" even though she had no control over it.

After all the Bad Shit that happened to her after arriving in the 12 Kingdoms—being thrown into a confusing world with no information and hunted by deadly demons who are specifically out to get her, the discrimination she gets being in a country that hates people like her, being betrayed and almost dying multiple times—she becomes cold and calculating, distrustful of everyone around her and shuts down her emotion.

but unlike grimdark cutthroat fantasies where trust is derided as foolish by the narrative, Youko's triumph comes from refusing to give up on the goodness in people after meeting a kind person who is also discriminated for being different, and resolves to defend her values with concrete action, taking responsibility for her own actions. Her confrontation with the Blue Monkey is breathtaking, and the way she rejects his nihilistic despair by staying true to herself left a strong impression on pre-teen me. Going along with other people may seem easier, but staying true to yourself and taking responsibility for your life is true fulfillment.

She continues to grow after the first novel. As she takes the throne—a duty and responsibility tied to her life, as well as the lives of the people in her kingdom—she realizes how much she still has to learn, and takes action so that she would not be reduced to a mere figure head and people-pleaser, like she had been. She questions the structure of the world, and makes changes to not only benefit her own kingdom, but to also strengthen international diplomatic relations across the 12 Kingdoms.

In short, Youko is cool as hell and an admirable person to look up to, especially after seeing how much she's changed from her first appearance.

Part 7 of Yugi raising Jaden

Adventures in the afterlife.

Start - previous - next

“You have a son?” Atem’s question hung in the air.

Yugi smiled gently at his partner before nodding “ya I do.”

Atem had so many questions. How? He wasn’t gone long enough for Yugi to have a child, unless he truly lost track of time. Or had he missed something this big durning his time with Yugi! No, there was no way Yugi would have kept something like this from him. No, it had to have happened after he left. But if so who was the mother?

While Atem was spiraling Kaiba wasn’t doing much better. There was no way he missed something so huge. Téa wasn’t pregnant the last time he saw her. He couldn’t think of any other women who Yugi was close enough with to have a child. Who was it? Where had this child come from?

Yugi was unaware of just how badly the two men in front of him were spiraling. He could tell they were shocked but didn’t realize the extent of that shock. He was going to explain to them who Jaden was when he was interrupted.

“Son? I have a grandson?” Yugi turned to see who spoke and found himself looking at a tall, older man who he had never seen before. Mahad and Mana flanked the man, Mana giving his a happy wave.

“Father this child isn’t your grandson.” Atem finally found his wits enough to speak. Yugi realized that the man in front of him was Atem’s father, Aknamkanon.

“Of course he’s my grandson.” Aknamkanon insisted. “Ever since you returned to us, you’ve talked nonstop about Yugi and your friends. Considering how much you wanted a younger brother in life, I figured the gods blessed you with one as a host. You’ve even called this young man your brother before, so that makes him my son, and his child my grandson.” The older pharaoh explained his logic gesturing to Yugi whenever he spoke of him. He then pointed at Atem. “Don’t deny me the joy of grandchildren.”

Yugi’s cheeks warmed with embarrassment but he smiled all the same. It was nice to know Atem had told his family and friends all about their adventures. “Would you like to see pictures of him?” He asked pulling out his phone.

Atem’s attentions snapped back to his partner immediately. “Nothing would make me happier.” That wasn’t true, he would be happier if he could meet the child and be a part of his life. But as it stood now, he would not get the opportunity to met Yugi’s child until the boy passed away, something he hope would take a very long time. This might be his only opportunity to learn about this boy.

Yugi smiled as he pulled up the first picture on his phone. He could see Kaiba coming over to look over his shoulder at the picture, while Aknamkanon, Mana, and Mahad push closer to Atem waiting for Yugi to flip the phone around.

He found the first picture he wanted to show. It was a picture he took on the day he brought Jaden home. He was held in Grandpa Solomon’s arms and the two were smiling brightly at the camera. Jaden’s new Hero cards proudly displayed in his hand.

Kaiba looked over Yugi’s shoulder and froze. He had expected to see a baby, but instead the boy looked to be around four. How could this be Yugi’s son? Unless….

Kaiba snatched the phone from Yugi’s grasp making the shorter male turn around to chase after it. “Kaiba.” He called out in surprise.

“Kaiba!” Atem echoed Yugi’s cry, the two still perfectly in sync, though his tone was full of rage. How dare Kaiba take Yugi’s phone when he was about to share photos of his son with them. Kaiba was going to return to the land of the living. He would get to meet the boy, Atem would not have that luxury.

Kaiba ignored them and stared at the young boy in the photo. “Yugi, why did you adopt this kid?” Kaiba wasn’t an idiot. There was no way Yugi hid a biological child for the past four years. Plus they had only just graduated high school, and as far as he was aware Yugi didn’t have any friends four years ago. So this kid wasn’t his biologically, meaning he had to have adopted him. And Kaiba had a lot of feelings about adoption. He needed to know Yugi’s reasoning for his action.

“Adopted?” Atem questioned and he could hear his friends murmuring in confusion as well. Yet that made far more sense than any of Atem’s prior theories on how Yugi became a father. Now he was just as curious as Kaiba. Why did his young aibou adopt a child.

Yugi reached up and snatched his phone back from Kaiba. “It’s a long story. So I’ll give you the condescend version.” He explained as he handed his phone over to Atem. The pharaoh taking the devise with great care, looking at the familiar image of his aibou’s grandfather, and the brand new face of his aibou’s adopted son.

The boy was adorable with a bright smile and two tone brown hair. His big brown eyes shining with excitement. Atem could hear Mana cooing over his shoulder, and he had to agree, the kid was adorable.

“There are more pictures, that’s in the middle of the album.” Yugi let him know, he knew Atem knew how a phone worked. As Atem started flipping from picture to picture he could hear the shock from his father and friends at the technology in his hand. He ignored them in favor of paying attention to the different pictures of the boy. Some were of the boy alone, smiling up at the camera, others were of him and Yugi together. Each image made Atem’s heart ache more, knowing that he would never get to be a part of his aibou’s new life with his son.

“His names Jaden.” Yugi informed them, “I met him when I was coming home from college…” and Yugi proceeded to tell them about Jaden. The lonely little boy he had met, who had a heart of gold and was already an incredibly duelist. Yet everyone seemed to be afraid of the boy, it was the strangest thing. Yugi had thought the boy at least had a family to go home to and when he discovered that was not the case he made the decision to adopt the boy.

“Why?” Kaiba asked. He had been oddly silent the whole conversation but couldn’t help asking this question. He had to know. Had to know if Yugi was training his successors like Gozaburo trained him.

Yugi turned and looked up at him and smiled so gently. “Because he’s a great kid. Who deserves to grow up knowing that he’s loved and cared for. I wasn’t looking to adopt him when we met, but once I got to know Jaden and learned about his situation, I realized I had come to care for him. I love him. He was mine far before I adopted him, I just didn’t realize it until the option was in front of my face.”

Kaiba’s world was rocked, he couldn’t understand. “But this is going to make your life so much harder.”

Yugi’s eyes hardened at his comment. “You’re right. Being a father is going to make my life harder in many ways, but Jaden’s already brought so much joy and light into my life, that I don’t really care. As long as he’s happy and safe I can deal with any consequences.” Yugi knows he’s put himself at a disadvantage by having a kid this early, one that’s came with unexplained trauma to boot. It would make it harder to date, find jobs, and moving out would take way longer as he was looking to house two instead of one, but Jaden was worth it. He would rather be Jaden’s father than be ‘worry free’ in his 20s. Yes, it was a harder path, but it was his choice.

Kaiba was looking at Yugi in awe. He didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know people adopted kids because they wanted what was best for the kid. He thought all adoptions were like Gozaburo, where people only adopt children so that they could get something out of them or use them.

But he should have known Yugi was different. Yugi was always different. The fact that he had come after Kaiba was proof of that. Even after everything he had put Yugi through the young man still saw the best in Kaiba and tried to help him. Even when Kaiba didn’t want his help, practically spat at it, Yugi was always willing to lend him his hand.

Maybe it was about time Kaiba started reaching back. After all Yugi was going to need help raising a kid, Kaiba had practically raised Mokuba, he knows how difficult it can be. Yugi wanted to give Jaden the same thing Seto had always wanted to give Mokuba, and that he could respect Yugi for.

Yugi had turned away from Kaiba a while ago go to speak to Atem and his family, but Kaiba couldn’t help looking upon his rival a little more fondly.

—————————————————————————

“As long as he’s happy and safe I can deal with any of the consequences or struggles this will put me through.” Yugi had just finished telling Kaiba that Jaden was far more important to him than any hardships his adoption might bring him, and Atem had never been prouder of his partner. He thought the end of the Ceremonial Duel was the proudest he could ever feel of his aibou but here his aibou was, surprising him all over again.

“What else can you tell me about him?” Atem asked grabbing Yugi’s attention away from Kaiba. “I want to know everything about your son.” Yugi practically beamed at him.

“Agreed we need to know everything about my grandson.” Aknamkanon concurred placing one hand on Yugi’s back and one on Atem’s, gently guiding the two boys deeper into the palace. “I know you need to leave soon but please indulge us. Isis and Mahad are working to fix our scrying pool, but it will be a while until we are able to look into the land of the living again. I’d love to know everything about my grandson.”

Yugi smiled at the man and Atem, he would love to tell them all about Jaden, but he didn’t want to worry his boy. “I’d love to, but Jaden-”

“He’s with Mokuba right?” Kaiba cut in following after them. Yugi turned his head to catch Kaiba’s eyes over his shoulder.

“Ya he is.” Yugi told him. “Joey and Mokuba are watching him while I’m gone.”

“Mokuba is more that capable of keeping Jaden alive for a few hours while you catch up with the Pharaoh. Though I don’t know why you invited Wheeler along. Though if you were looking for a guard dog I guess I can understand your logic.”

Yugi glared at him for the backhanded compliment to Joey, but kept his mouth shut. After all a back handed compliment was better than Kaiba’s normal open disdain for his best friend. He could also tell that in Kaiba’s own strange way he was trying to reassure Yugi that Jaden would be fine. But Kaiba didn’t know the whole situation.

“Alright, but I have to get back before night fall.” Yugi said agreeing to Aknamkanon and Atem’s request. His statement immediately caught Atem’s attention.

“Why is that?” It was only an hour away, and while Atem had order Kaiba to go home for a month now he found himself desperately wish Yugi would stay for as long as possible.

“Jaden has awful nightmares, but he never remembers them when he wakes up.” Yugi paused and worried his lip between his teeth debating the next words he was going to say.

Atem stopped walking, making the group stop as well, as he turned to face Yugi. “Aibou what’s wrong?” Atem always hated when Yugi kept things from him. He had been the boy’s protector for years, and while Yugi was strong enough to protect himself, that didn’t stop the way his heart froze at the idea of Yugi or his son in trouble.

Yugi looked at him and seemed to cave under the worry in Atem’s eyes. Atem had always been a pillar of strength for him. If there was anyone that he could bare his heart and his fears for Jaden to, it was Atem.

“I think that they are more than just nightmares. Jaden can’t remember them when he wakes up, but all of my duel spirits react when he has one. And there’s this presence that seems to envelop him when he has them. I don’t know what it is, but it’s hurting him.” Yugi revealed the information that had been terrifying him since he brought Jaden home that first night. Something was coming after his son and he had no idea what.

Atem moved quickly to pull Yugi into a tight hug. “We will figure this out. No harm will fall upon your son. I promise.”

Yugi returned the embrace holding Atem close. “I’m afraid there’s not a lot you can do Atem.” Atem was dead. While it was so comforting to be with him again, there was very little Atem could do to help Jaden.

Atem tightened his arms around Yugi. He hated to admit it but Yugi was right. There was precious little he could do. Except…. Yes, that he could do. “I can do more than you think.” He made sure his voice was confident, there was no need to worry Yugi over him. Yugi pullled back to look at him. “I’ll send Slifer’s spirit to protect him. Whatever is reach out to him won’t get past Slifer.”

“Atem don’t be foolish. The amount of energy that would take would leave you with barely any energy for yourself.” His father argued.

“Well I’m already dead I don’t need that much energy.” Atem played it off with ease. This is something he could do to protect Jaden and Yugi. He’d sacrifice anything for them.

“My Pharaoh allow me to go first.” Mahad step forward. “I will put an end to this threat. There is no reason for you to waist your strength.” He knew just how important Yugi was to Atem. It was just as much his duty to protect Yugi as it was to protect Atem, and now that protection extended to Jaden as well.

“Mahad I-” Atem started, he wanted to protect Jaden. He wanted to help Yugi. But he was cut off.

“I don’t want you to do anything that could put you at risk.” Yugi cut in. “I left the Silent Magician with Jaden, if Mahad joins them I can’t imagine any spirits being able to get by them.” Yugi looked at his friend with pleading eyes. He didn’t want Atem to disturb his hard earned rest just for him.

Atem let out a breath, Yugi was one of the few people he would bow to. “Mahad please go down and keep an eye on Jaden.” Mahad smiled transforming into Palladium Oracle Mahad. “But Mahad if that thing gets by you I need to know immediately.” If this creature gets past Mahad then Atem was sending Slifer after it.

Mahad bowed. “It will not come to that. I’ll be back in the morning.” And with that the magician disappeared.

Aknamkanon placed his hand on Yugi’s shoulder drawling the young man’s attention to him. “You should stay until morning.” Yugi was about to protest when Aknamkanon cut him off. “I know you want to return to your son as soon as possible, believe me I understand.” He said giving a warm look to Atem, before directing his attention back to Yugi. “But if you wait until Mahad returns he can inform us on what he found tonight. You will have a better understanding of the foe you are facing.”

He could tell Yugi was reluctant to stay be finally the boy nodded his head. “Alright. That does sound like the best decision.”

Aknamkanon was over joyed. He got to spend more time with his son’s true brother and learn more about his grandson. Truly the best outcome.

I finished Battle City

So for my redemption arc, I have finished both Duelist Kingdom and Battle City.

I think I may have gotten worse.

I'll start by talking about voice acting and which one I prefer:

Bakurae: I like both Ted Lewis and Rica Matsumoto's performances. They both did amazing and I am so bi for their voices.

Marik: His goofy ass skeletor voice is not it. It's funny as hell, but he just sounds better in the sub.

Odion: I like both

Ishizu: I like both

Everyone else: could go either way

Characters:

Yugi didn't really do a lot at the start, and everything I want to say about him happens in his duel with Joey. Honestly, I don't like how in the anime he doesn't play much of a role.

Yami Yugi: this man... This man.

Téa: I love her. Honestly. She gave like zero friendship speeches this season and didn't really do much except help Yami find Ishizu.

Joey: I LOVE JOEY WHEELER.

Tristan: he's there. I don't like how he treats Serenity.

Serenity: I actually really like her. She's not the most realistic sister character, but I still like her.

Duke: my guy, leave the girl alone.

Marik: I can't take him seriously. I just can't. He sounds like Skeletor, his plans are stupid, he can barely duel, he's a coward, he dresses ugly, mother fucker uses Revival Jam, this happened

How am I supposed to take him seriously?! Also, his backstory didn't do anything for me. Like, yeah what he went through was awful, but it just feels like an excuse. It felt like Ishizu and Odion were trying to justify Marik's behavior and say he did nothing wrong and should be forgiven. (Also, I saw a post about how Joey should have showed Marik sympathy. They blocked me when I said that was stupid)

Ishizu: she's such a great character. Her love for her siblings feels real, she's a snarky dork, her duel with Kaiba is fantastic, and she's pretty.

Odion: Am I supposed to feel bad for him? Not because he was horrifically abused I do feel bad about that, but with the way he was treating Marik... My guy was an enabler. Of course Marik is still evil under your care, you haven't done anything to help him be good. He just rolls over and lets Marik do what he wants because he doesn't want to betray his oath or something.

Mai: literally so cool. I'll actually get to talking about her in a bit.

Kaiba: iconic.

Mokuba: he takes his duel commissioner job so seriously it's adorable. He just pops up out of nowhere to catch people cheating and then Kaiba comes along to scare the cheater when they don't listen to Mokuba.

Regular Bakura: B-baby boy???

Yami Bakura: I'd literally bend over for him. He can have all of my possessions. Anyway I feel like he went through some character assassination this season. He just doesn't seem like a threat, but I guess that's how abusers get ya because he stabs Regular Bakura.

Arkana: I've said it once and I'll say it again, I am a sap. I felt so bad for this guy. First his magic show goes wrong, then his face gets mangled, then his wife leaves him, then he gets indoctrinated into Marik's cult, then he almost dies by saw blade, then he actually dies.

Lumis and Umbra: these two are gay and dating.

Strings: there is nothing there.

Mako and Weevil are pretty much the same.

Espa Roba: he's a cheater.

Duels:

Bandit Keith vs Yugi Moto (Duel 1)

The first duel of the season introduces us to Marik. We learn that he wants the puzzle and has a magic rod that can mind control people.

This duel shows off that Yugi is not yet as good a duelist as Yami because this loser gets fucking cooked.

Yami Bakura shows up and breaks Keith free. This makes Marik a little annoyed.

Marik makes Keith break the puzzle.

Bakura comes in and helps Yugi fix it, but he puts a little piece of his soul in the puzzle because of reasons that are never explained.

Bakura leaves and Keith burns the building down.

Joey and Tristan save Keith and Yugi.

Yami Yugi vs Jonny Steps (Duel 2)

I am not talking about the duel you suckers. I'm talking about what happened before the duel!

Yami and Téa go on a date. During this date they go on wacky high jinks and Yami gets Light Force Sword.

After dueling Jonny Steps, they go to the museum and meet Ishizu. She tells them that Yami is actually an ancient Egyptian pharaoh and he needs to save the world by joining Kaiba's tournament and winning it. Also he needs three Egyptian God Cards.

Joey vs That one guy (duel 3)

Joey gets Exodiad and feels so bad that he doesn't go and visit his sister in the hospital.

He also lost his Red Eyes Black Dragon.

Tristan finds him on the beach and shows Yugi and Téa who he found (fuck you 4kids)

Kaiba vs the machine (duel 4)

OBELISK, FIST OF FATE!!!!!

Yami vs the one guy(duel 5)

Yami beats Exodia and wins back Joey's Red Eyes.

Joey declined it.

Joey vs Espa Roba (duel 6)

In this duel Joey faces an alleged psychic who had already defeated Rex Raptor.

Rex tries to help Joey for a little bit, but stops like half way through the duel.

During this duel, Espa is talking about the universe and how he can't lose and shit like that and Joey's just clowning on him.

Espa Roba has his brothers up on a building helping him win duels.

Joey figures this out.

Joey wins the duel.

Some guy in the audience says "Espa couldn't predict he'd be a loser", and I think that's funny.

Joey got a Jinzo!! The only good card he'll get this whole tournament.

Yami vs Arkana (duel 7)

Yami faces a magician who's all like "Aren't you SO sad that your precious Dark Magician is in the deck of another duelist???!"

Some bullshit happens, Dark Magician is sentient and saves Yami, Dark Magician Girl is summoned by Dark Magic Curtain, there's shadow blades, guillotine-chan is here, apparently there's no service in the tent.

Yami wins.

Arkana dies or something it was really unclear.

Joey vs Weevil Underwood (duel 8)

Joey got his deck and Duel Disk stolen by some mustache and had a card put In it.

Joey and Weevil duel ata fountain.

During this duel Weevil calls out to the Parasite Paracide card in Joey's deck and turns all of Joey's monsters into insect cards.

Weevil brings out Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth. Joey destroys it.

Weevil brings out his Insect Queen and talks about how much he wants to fuck it. Joey destroys the Insect Queen and wins it.

Joey gained the worst card of the season.

Yami and Kaiba vs some guys (duel 10)

Kaiba uses Lord of D and two Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon three dragons and then he summons Obelisk and then he wins the duel and takes some locator cards.

Joey Wheeler vs Mako (duel 11) ft. Marik falling for the Bakura sham.

Joey and Mako duel.

Joey is putting on the world's greatest show, and is told to stop because it's "embarrassing and taking to long"

Joey tries to use Parasite Paracide, but flip monsters haven't been invented yet.

MEANWHILE

Marik almost runs over Bakura.

BACK TO THE DUEL

Mako is telling a son story about his dad and how Legendary Fisherman is his dad and he loves his dad so he has to win the duel for his dad because he loves him ever so much.

MEANWHILE

Yami Bakura is talking mad shit and Marik's all like "This idiot has NO idea that to open the door to darkness he needs the Egyptian God Cards."

What if my guy was talking 'bout Kingdom Hearts?

BACK TO THE DUEL

Mako used a ritual card 🤮

Now Joey has to find the fisherman and attack.

Joey finds the fisherman and attacks. Mako gets sad. Loser deserved it tho for using rituals.

Joey uses some gambling cards and oh no

MEANWHILE

Bakura puts his scam into action and says he's a strong duelist (He's aight.)

Marik doesn't even fact check this and makes a deal with him.

The rod for a god card.

BACK TO THE DUEL

Joey uses Panther Warrior to wipe out the ritual card 🤮, and wins the duel.

Joey has gained Legendary Fisherman! Not as bad as the last card, but Joey you have a shitty deck how do you keep winning???

Seto and Yami vs Lumis and Umbra (duel 12)

THERE'S ANOTHER FUCKING RITUAL CARD!!!! AND IT'S NOT EVEN A GOOD ONE!

It's awful, it sucks, it's worthless, they should have just used level cards

This duel is not worth my time.

Yami and Seto win.

We interrupt this essay to talk about important stuff that happened out of duels:

Bakura got stabbed

Mokuba, Téa, and Joey got kidnapped

Tristan ran for an hour with a teenage girl on his back

Duke hit some guy with dice

Mai met Serenity

Joey got mind controlled

Téa girl mind controlled

Joey vs Yugi/Yami (duel 13)

I cried during this duel

Joey got mind controlled by Marik and is evil and dueling Yugi for the puzzle and they're also strapped to this anchor that's gonna drag them to the bottom of the ocean in an hour and oh my God this duel

Téa's life is also being threatened but she's a badass who doesn't care.

Kaiba can't help because then Téa will die.

Joey was given all these rare cards and is using them against Yugi.

Yugi is so scared to attack because he doesn't wanna hurt Joey.

Yugi is so fucking sweet I love him so much.

Yami is just in the corner like "you good Yugi?" And "Oh no!!! Joey!!" I love them so much

Yugi ends up giving the puzzle to Joey so he can fight Marik better, he summons R d eyes black dragon to get through to him, this shit is just barely working I HATE THIS DUEL

Marik is being a whiny little bitch ass loser because his mind control is failing

Joey breaks free after attacking Yugi then he uses the effect of some mirror card to attack himsefl

Joey and Yugi both plummet to the ocean, Yugi is saved by Joey and Joey is saved by serenity.

I LOVE JOEY WHEELER

Meanwhile at the hospital

Yami Bakura vs Bonz (duel 14)

This episode is so fucking good. The animation, the duel, BONZ IS HERE

This duel starts off with Yami Bakura already being kinda annoyed. He just got jumped so it makes sense.

He summons a headless knight and it gets destroyed.

He destroys Bonz's cards.

Bonz fuses Medusa and crawling dragon to get... An elephant?

Then Bonz activates that one card that makes you lose life points for every card sent to the graveyard. Yami Bakura responded by fucking cheating and just tossing his hand to the graveyard.

Then he summons Earl of Demise and Bonz puts him in a cage.

Then Yami Bakura uses ectoplasmer and wipes out Bonz's life points and sends him to hell the Shadow Realm.

Mai vs Jean Clawed Magnum (duel 19)

I am not talking about this duel other than

Joey x Mai supremacy

We love polarshipping

Stuff that happens before the finals

The gang is shocked at the idea of Regular Bakura dueling (rude)

Tristan can't flirt

The gang raid Joey's pantry

A bingo machine

Yami Bakura pretends to be Regular Bakura and messes with Joey by saying shit like "Cheerio" and "fellows"

Marik does stuff

Odion gets threatened a few times

Ishizu shows up late

Mai drinks censored wine

Yami Bakura vs Yami (duel 15)

This shit is so hype

It starts off with Yami Bakura being dog shit and summoning weak cards (it's for a plan), and Yami and the gang just ragging on him and insulting him.

Then Bakura summons Dark Necrofear, but he doesn't attack because he's scared that Yami's face down card is a trap (reasonable)

Dark Necrofear gets destroyed by a buffed Dark Magician Girl, but this was all part of the an because now Yami Bakura can use not only his Destiny Board (worst win strat ever), but he can also use Dark Sanctuary.

At this point in the duel, Yami Bakura is cooking. He is dominating.

He got out his Dark door, Yami can't attack more than once. He got his spirit redirecting attacks at Yami. He's cooking something delicious.

Then Yami special summons Dark Necrofear and now Yami Bakura can't use his strategy.

Unless he summons Jougen the Spiritualist!

Now the sanctuary is back and he can keep up with his shitty win strat.

Then Yami summons Slifer and he contemplates death.

Marik makes Odion walk over and go "I release Bakura from the spirit" and Bakura starts dying and at this point my shipping senses start going nuts.

This duel has become a love triangle between Regular Bakura, Yami Bakura, And Yami Yugi.

But that's not important.

Bakura doesn't like this strategy because it's for cowards and he's worried Yami will attack his host. (Reasonable. The Yami he knows probably would've)

Yami meanwhile doesn't wanna attack Regular Bakura because that's his friend.

No one has told this boy to just surrender.

Yami Bakura takes control of Regular Bakura again and tells Yami to attack him

Then Yugi tells Yami that he did that because he needs Bakura, not because he liked him. (This is untrue if I believe hard enough)

Regular Bakura is knocked out and the ring is gone.

Joey vs Odion (duel 16)

Joey is talking shit.

Odion keeps setting and passing

And oh what's this?? FLASHBACK

Odion was abandoned on the door step of Marik's and Ishizu's parents. He was raised by them but never truly accepted.

He wanted the tomb keeper initiation to become accepted, but he was adopted. So that didn't happen.

DUEL

Joey's losing

FLASHBACKS

Odion was Marik's best friend and watched their mother die immediately after Marik was born.

He vowed to protect Marik.

DUEL

Odion has trap monsters and Joey is surprised by this.

A massive scorpion monster thing is summoned and Joey says

"Are you really Marik?"

Then Marik has a temper tantrum and tells Odion to summon Ra. Odion summons Ra and fucking dies.

Then Joey dies.

FLASHBACK

Odion watched as Marik got his tomb keeper initiation and afterwards he did his own initiation.

DUEL

Odion tries to get up, but he doesn't.

MEANWHILE IN JOEY DREAMLAND

Joey is having a dream about his friends helping him get ready for a tournament and he can't get up.

DUEL

Joey gets up and wins the duel.

Marik is having a migraine and then becomes Yami Marik.

Mai vs Marik (duel whatever I don't wanna check)

Marik got a fashion upgrade and looks better!!

During this duel Kaiba is edging himself waiting for Ra to be summoned.

Marik makes the duel a shadow duel and starts to erase Mai's mind.

Mai loses one memory and almost gives up immediately.

Marik continues his mind games while Joey and the gang try to help Mai out.

Mai is having non of this.

Mai steals Ra

Marik is cooking

Mai summons Ra, but Marik broke a rule because Ra is written in a foreign language without a translation.

Mai loses because she can't summon Ra and Marik attacked her, Joey, and Yami.

Final duel, Kaiba vs Ishizu

Ishizu should have won

Kaiba and Ishizu keep milling each other's deck.

Ishizu has a plan though. She saw it in her visions

Kaiba defys those visions tho and instead of summoning Obelisk, he summons the Blue Eyes White Dragon and wipes out Ishizu.

I forgot to talk about the Yami vs Strings duel

Marik is a pussy so he uses some murderer to duel

During this duel Marik is using cards like Revival Jam and Jam Breeding Machine.

He uses them to summon Slifer.

Yami is trapped in a cage.

Yami uses Revival Jam against Marik and uses it to cause Marik to lose by DECK OUT.

DECK OUT

That's embarrassing.

So yeah, I think this journey of redemption is becoming a journey of derailment instead. Wish me luck and health.

Some scattered Rivalshipping "properly meeting Yugi's family" headcanons:

--Yugi has 100% not even mentioned in passing to his mother that he is into guys, but she has picked up on it, either because (A) she's mistaken his bond with Jounouchi for something else or (B) Yugi had a passing thing with Otogi and the walls ain't that thick, son.

--So whenever it's formally A Thing with Kaiba, Yugi fully expects this to be A Big Thing(tm) and his mom just absolutely takes the wind out of Yugi's sails saying one of the two above options (or possibly both).

--Seto is VERY OFFENDED that Jounouchi was even an option, why does your taste in men suck, Yugi. D|

--(Yugi points out his taste in men includes YOU, Kaiba; Seto is like "yes, and?" because he knows he's a goddamn mess; you and him are going to be goddamn messes TOGETHER, Yugi.)

--Sugoroku is surprisingly chill about the whole thing ("Yugi's not the first bi Muto and probably won't be the last, ho ho ho!") ,but is absolutely planning to troll the ever-loving fuck out of Kaiba for as long as Kaiba's in a relationship with his grandson. Mutos never forget, sonny boy~ OuO

--Seto is trying VERY HARD to not be an asshole back in response to the trolling; he is aware he kind of deserves it but dammit, being the bigger man doesn't suit him at all. 8|

--It somehow all sails over Yugi's head, but Yugi's mom is very tired, please stop with the senile act, Sugoroku.

--Seto. Yugi's mom. "You Are Going To Be A Proper Spouse And Learn How To Take Care Of My Baby Boy" home ec.-style lessons. Yugi's mom may or may not quickly give up on trying to teach this man how to cook; sorry, Yugi, you're on your own there.

--I would say "Seto doesn't have the heart to say he can HIRE people to do this," but we all know this isn't true. He has said it repeatedly and Yugi's mom does not care, what if every servant gets sick or quits, you have to know, being a boy doesn't make a difference here. 8|b

--He still goes along with this; his head was crammed so full of Business/Engineering/WINWINWIN as a kiddo by shitty adoptive father that he kind of wants to learn because no one taught him this shit???? He is only OK at best in the end, but it's better than Comedically Clueless, so it's a win?

#yugioh #rivalshipping #chibi rambles #ol' auntie cheebs is shitposting again #'yugi's not the first bi muto' sugoroku means himself he is also a bi muto #sugoroku muto as a young man fucked we all know this to be true in our hearts

"When you're playing a card game, the fancier your hairstyle, the more distracting it is for your opponent." -Aether in god damn genshin impact.

They are literally referencing this mother fucker.

The guy who made wild anime hair styles a thing. Specifically in the card game duel monsters.

I know they've made other references to Yugioh. Cyno asks you if you want to Duel him. That's not a phrase Magic the Gathering or Pokemon players use. That is the Yugioh staple. "Duel me Yugi!" "It's time to Duel!"

I just. Yami's hair is iconic and it makes me feel things to see a current game series unironically reference and pay homage to my favorite anime of all time. And to know it's not just the English dubbers having fun. That it comes from the higher ups in the Chinese character development department makes me feel even more things. (Thanks to the 3.1 livestream we know they're the ones to incorporate the TCG references in Cyno the character they designed to look like Thief King Bakura.)

To know that Yugioh really was a world wide phenomenon that changed lives. I just wish Kazuki Takahashi was here to see it.

ch. 112!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! ah the good times they keep a-comin...

I love the opening sequence aha, it's so direct... it kind of hurts my heart in a way, I feel like Iro-sensei makes a lot of consistent effort to get people to understand their stories, to recap things in a simple, concise way... but I feel like a lot of people still don't quite understand... but I think they've come very far from older written stories...!

I love... describing Amane this way....

Sickly plant, unwell roots... diseased.... can't bloom....

the people we love.... we love them just the way they are, don't we? What we make with the people we love... even if it doesn't make sense, even if it looks hopeless, even if it looks like fruitless wasted effort.... we cherish it!

I think the twins understand that too, Nene-chan....

SHIJIMA-SAN--! She looks like she might be a teacher, based on the fact she's much taller, and not in a uniform nor in some sort of gimmick outfit. Her birthdate is 1973-- the manga as-is takes place in 2015. That means this Shijima-san MIGHT be 42? She could have become an art teacher...

It's shocking, but I suppose anything could occur to upswing Shijima-san's illness. Perhaps in this world, a doctor caught something earlier on, or perhaps she was diagnosed incorrectly in the past timeline, and received more sufficient treatment in time. We don't know precisely what she suffered from, so we don't truly know if it was incurable, or just handled poorly by the system.

I figured Kou wouldn't know Nene-chan, but would still just have a normal crush on her... he finds her cute, objectively.

laughs, I ASSUMED Mitsuba would just be dead, it's just as funny if he's alive... his death was an extremely random circumstance, I'd easily believe anything even slightly to the left would evade it... perhaps he cooked a cake instead of a curry for his mother, perhaps he had remembered those potatoes just earlier when shopping, perhaps the curry didn't need potatoes after all, perhaps he didn't even notice them missing, perhaps he just caught himself when he slipped on the steps... !

What's kind of funny is that even like this, Mitsuba and Kou are still the sort of difficult and bickering sort of friends, and Kou still just like Nene-chan... you two... it's like I'll never be able to find it beautiful or sweet lol.... sigh...! you have all the time in the world now and this is how it is eh....

sigh... now, I've seen people. confused by this? This Hanako is not really there. He doesn't exist. She imagines/hallucinates him. She's daydreaming. There is no ghost Hanako. She's only remembering his existence.

haunted by the hazy memories of your sad little dead boyfriend... </3 so sweet... YOUR boy....

This bitch--!!

I swear Teru is like, too alpha to ever want to just listen to Akane.... well, godknows what Akane wanted him to do!!! Nene-chan's on her own then!!!!!! The power of love alone shall guide her!!!

I really do wonder how Teru will feel. He had a lot of development with Kou... positive and negative. And with Aoi....

He finally opened up to Kou about his suffering... but, he also fought with him, for the first time ever. Kou is defecting, in the old timeline... resisting and, no longer looking up to Teru as only his hero. But, he also saw a little more of Teru's true self.. (just a little). Does Kou still want to be an exorcist, in this timeline? Does he adore Teru? What does Teru cherish...?

I wonder if Kou is extra dumb & loyal to his family bloodline, or if he's busy with other things, with Mitsuba alive with him.... hm!

ah here we go Iro-sensei.... CONDENSED TIME. THREE DAYS!!!! I'M READY!!! DAY BY DAY!!!!

slay!!!!

I wonder if you are retired.... or dead...

The Yugi were born in 1955. It's 2015. That means, Amane would now be 60 years old. It's not impossible that he still be around, just perhaps no longer a coworker.... I cannot make any sense of the labels on the photo lol, but it would be interesting if he retired in 2011...

I'd love it if he was alive, but residing in the Red House... I wish Nene-chan could visit him at his home, had to seek him out--!!!

AGEGAP HANANENE WOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I KNOW AIDAIRO HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh I'm so ready for it haha. Woo!! YEAH WOOOOOO!!!!

Kinda hope Tsukasa is trapped in the Clockkeeper's boundary... this would be such a tragic and miserable circumstance... I feel like ah, Tsukasa's got this... eternally trapped damsel quality about him... be it in the clutches of the Red House, or Hanako's boundary... it would be so interesting, if the Clockkeepers did something to contain him, somehow want to utilize the God....? Or at the very least, are INCAPABLE of KILLING it... and need to do something else to him... I don't trust them, still... we were explicitly shown the Clockkeeper's ability to subdue/freeze him, I would imagine not for no reason.

Hope we also get a little 12 year old living Tsukasa showing up to try to coax Nene-chan on how to fix the timeline... </3 just before he's snatched... ahhhh! So exciting!!!!!! Edge of my seat!!! SO many interesting balls in the air oooooo!!!!!!!!!

Spoilers for Chapter 110

Did you notice that Mitsuba, School Mystery No. 3 whose name literally contains the kanji character "3", died 2 times and is now dying a third time!?!?! WELL, I DID!!!!

Sorry, I've just seen others theorizing about this for a while and always thought it was such a sadistic idea and I can't believe it actually happened... AIDAIRO!! AIDAIROOOOOOO!!!!!!!! *wordless wail*

If that wasn't bad enough, AidaIro had him meet Mitsuba Sousuke's mother and, unbeknownst to her, her son is dying all over again RIGHT NEXT TO HER...!!!! Keep in mind that she doesn't even know he's here, either. And now she may never even get to know this new version of him!!! NGYAAAHHH!!! Yet another example of the sadistic torture AidaIro enjoys putting us through...

Anyway, a moment of respite before I start yelling again: I enjoyed comparing my prediction posts to this chapter! I was right that Tsukasa would win, but...well, I think I got everything else wrong? HAHA. But seriously, I never could have fathomed the plot twist that Mitsuba has no yorishiro, effectively meaning that Tsukasa is literally STEPS away from completing his goal and destroying himself, yet here we are. I'm beginning to think the end of the series is closer than any of us could have anticipated... (it's almost sad to think about!)

But sadly, even though Hanako is trying his best to get through to Tsukasa, Hanako is still shackled and effectively powerless to stop him if he gets to Nene. Maybe there's some sort of schoolmystery-yorishiro power dynamic going on where Tsukasa is always weaker than Hanako, but with the state he's in now, I think Tsukasa should be safe to just shove him off...

That said, this move was so well-played! Hanako, stripped of power, could not stop Tsukasa with force alone, so he instead had to use the force of gravity to force Tsukasa on the ground and pin him with his knife and body. I still don't think this is enough to stop Tsukasa entirely, but it is enough to give Hanako time to plead with him. It also restores my faith in the fact that Hanako is a good fighter.

Anyway...I feel like everyone's already wibbled and wobbled about the ending of this chapter by now, but I just want to say I am SO GLAD Amane communicated his feelings to Tsukasa. That he said "i love you" in every single word he said, even if Tsukasa didn't hear it. It was so heartwarming, since Amane almost never does this. He always either bottles things up or shoves his feelings to the side until they're suddenly wrenched out of him and he's forced to care again. And while he was only able to do this because he was literally seconds away from losing Tsukasa, I am SO HAPPY that he could even do it all.

But unfortunately, he still couldn't say "I love you". He had to settle for the tsundere version. (Siiigh...)

Yet even if he did I'm not sure if Tsukasa would be convinced...That boy is soooo traumatized by the time Amane pushed him as a child, it's actually concerning. (._.`)

All I'm hoping for is that something happens to stop Tsukasa. I'm not emotionally prepared for him to go yet!!! But even if he does go within the next chapter or the next few after it, I just hope he goes out knowing he was loved. Like Sumire did. 💔

It feels like each new chapter has been more exciting than the last...if we get a Yugi backstory chapter next month I think I might actually die of happiness. Goodbye everyone...I'm going to a better place... 👼

I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter as much as I did!! This was such a good one I'm sure I'll be back later to tack on more thoughts. Thanks for reading!!
