I’m not sure how many people watched the translation of Kazuki Takahashi hosting a tour through his home, but this was kind of cute to me.
She’s a shark.
If you have no idea what Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses is I really truly implore you to just. Do a cursory google search or watch a video about it because absolutely nothing I could say about it could appropriately sum up exactly what is Is
ok but the ost slaps
this is my favorite screenshot from any video game and i use it to torment my friends constantly

Good for them fuck shit up ladies
I wanna add those two girls’ names as cards, and they’re pretty great names.
Also they are 100% drawn to be placed at Condemned Darklord’s sides.
This is what peak polyamory looks like.

Decided I’m becoming a “Yami Bakura is proficient in excel” truther. Based on what we see in canon I think Yami Bakura is better with computers than 90% of the main cast. You might not like it but this is what the events of the manga tell us
When people are like “There should be a Yugioh reboot that fully adapts the story including the early manga” I’m like are you sure? You know that Yugioh’s story structure is batshit, right? You want a season full of random unrelated death games followed by an abrupt veer into exclusively card games for 20 volumes followed by an abrupt veer into ancient Egyptian political intrigue, which itself does a complete 180 on all of its own themes 35 chapters in? I’m not saying I wouldn’t watch it, but, uh,

ok. ok. hang on. im cooking. here’s a rough guess at which yugioh guys in Duel Links are AI memory clones and which aren’t and which know that about themselves and which don’t and which ones we don’t actually know for sure. And other notes:
Duel Monsters:
- DSOD Kaiba and Mokuba: fairly certain that’s Really Them, they would be playtesting their own company’s game after all
- All the other DSOD Characters: you could probably make a strong argument that they’re Really Themselves too honestly. Especially Yugi
- Yami Yugi: AI copy. Unsure if he’s aware of that or not? DSOD Kaiba is still obsessed with him.
- Yami Bakura: AI copy, 100% fully aware of it and even comments on it
- Yami Marik: AI copy, iirc I think he’s fully aware of it too? He’s just here to have a good (violent) time. (EDIT: have been informed he’s fully aware of it <3)
- Pegasus: AI copy of mangaverse!Pegasus specifically; not only is he fully aware of that, he’s also aware of the multiverse inhabiting DL AND the fact that he’s dead! :^)
- Bandit Keith, Arkana, Bonz (??): well if we know the Duel Monsters world in DL is based on the manga these poor shmucks are dead so it would be logical that their DL counterparts are AI too! All unaware of that fact it seems.
- EDIT: ISHIZU!!!: she’s a weird case I just got reminded by the fact that she like. can tell something is Amiss and wonders why she’s still wearing the necklace. So she’s like an AI clone of post Battle City Ishizu being kind of forced to play out the role of mid-canon BC Ishizu, and she’s not fully aware of the details. ok cool kaiba !!!!!
- The Rest of the DM Cast that’s in Duel Links: honestly yeah all of these guys are probably AI copies. Which is TURBO fucked up when you’ve potential got The Real Deal also here (like with joey, yugi, and téa… encountering a digital clone of your past self cannot be very fun!!!)
GX:
- Yubel, Supreme King Jaden, and Sartorius: AI clones for sure, unknown if they’re aware of it.
- The Rest of the GX Cast: I’m not actually sure! If I had to bet money any of them were Really Them I would say it’s Jaden/Yubel since he’s based explictly on s4/postcanon Jaden. Everyone else is prooooobably. AI.
5D’s:
- Team 5D’s: WELL OK I WOULDA SAID THEYRE AI BEFORE BUT THIS LAST CHARACTER EVENT MAY BE IMPLYING THEY (yusei, jack, crow, akiza, and the twins) ARE ALL THE REAL DEAL SO. THAT’S AN INTERESTING TWIST IF SO!!!
- Dark Signer Kalin, Carly, and Rex Goodwin: AI copies, and I’m pretty sure at least Rex is aware of it? Spooky
- Bruno/Antinomy: 10000000% AI copy, is actually fully aware he’s just some code on a hard drive and has commented on it!!! Not sure if he knows if he’s dead or not but wouldn’t put it past him.
- Aporia, Paradox, Z-one: my fuckign GRANDPAS who are FULLY AWARE THEY ARE DEAD (not sure if they know that they’re AI copies though. They might!) Paradox only learned about all this bullshit after the aforementioned Pegasus blew his brain open.
- The Rest of the 5D’s Cast: Unsure! Could go either way with some of them, like regular Carly. Primo is for sure an AI copy though.
ZEXAL:
- Zexal Cast: I’M NOT SURE. I want to say most of them are prrrrrobably AI copies but I feel like Zexal’s DL “lore” hasn’t thrown us too many sticks about it yet. The Arclights might be real (I do think it’s neat their renders are based on their zexal ii look, as far as i know), and either way they’re actively researching what’s going on with Duel Links and how it connects with memories.
ARC-V
- ARC-V Cast: ALSO NOT SURE except for Yuto who we can pretty much confirm is an AI copy. I want to say the rest of ‘em are probably AI too but either way it’s interesting that they’re also really in it with the research of trying to figure out what triggers a character to show up in this world (spoiler alert: it’s the memories the existing characters have of them!!)
VRAINS
- VRAINS Cast: ok these guys might actually be The Real Guys (except Ai of course who is. AI. lmao), as people have told me Vrains World seems to be acting a bit like a direct followup to the series. Which is super interesting and I’m really curious how it will impact the lore going forward!!!
ANYWAY god. konami really did not have to do this with their little freemium mobile game but thank god they did. Welcome to memory ghost card game heaven!!!!!!!
