Atem's So KAWAIIIIIIIII~!!!♡

I HALF EXPECTED HIM TO WINK TOO AHA!!!!

Man is that thumbs up at the end cute

Episode 30, Part 2, the actual thrilling conclusion of Mai and Yami’s duel!

Now that’s Yami’s accepted his weakness and determined to face Mai without his prideful fear of losing, he gets all cocky again. Aw yeah, the king is back!

Mai’s got an almost invincible strategy in place and Yami’s got very little, so he … bluffs like crazy! It’s amazing! He’s so cocky as he tells her to attack him that she thinks he’s trying to goad her into attacking and that his face-down card is a Trap, but it isn’t! 

This is actually super clever because last episode, when talking about people’s strengths and weaknesses, Mai admits she’s very cautious and can be too cautious at times. Yami has never been accused of being too cautious, I can’t imagine, so it’s nice to show the reverse; over-caution being her weakness and one of his strengths, since the whole duel is about him learning his weakness and one of her strengths (the ability to face loss gracefully).

Mai has now put together her hella awesome lesbian punk rock trio, The Harpie Ladies, and Yami manages to get in the Swords of Sealing Light before they claw him to death and eat his eyes (I presume).

Jounouchi, meanwhile, is getting tired of Anzu’s constant slut-shaming. (Seriously, she’s not too bad in this episode, but generally speaking, Anzu becomes reeeeeeally judgey in Mai’s presence.)

Oh, but it’s been a while since Yami’s come up with some utter bullshit that is no way written on these cards but is apparently an effect.

Yes. The Harpies’ Battle Pheromones, which are totally a thing, only work on monsters who are gendered male. 

Yu-Gi-Oh!, I say this with my love, but that is the dumbest fucking shit I have ever heard coming from your motherfucking bullshit made-up-on-the-fly card game. There are definitely monsters that are not gendered one way or another. I would argue that Kuriboh is not gendered, but it frigging works on him so apparently he’s attracted to humanoid women WHICH IS GROSS. What else is gross? So is Summoned Skull. Know what else is gross? Now I kinda ship Dark Magician with the Harpie(s). THANKS OBAMA.

Moving on.

Yami has a moment of doubt when he needs to pull a card, but Yugi comes to help him. 

It’s not spelled out on screen, but Yugi implied that he was afraid of Yami when the Kaiba thing happened and Yami reached out to him when Mai made her point, and I think this is Yugi forgiving him for being mildly murderous. And Yami is willing to ask for help, now that he sees how strong Yugi is, in his own way.

Speaking of strength. Or, more accurately, endurance.

YOU HEARD HIM LADIEEEEEZ. Kinda expected him to wink at Mai at the end of that sentence, not gonna lie…

He plays Kuriboh and Mai helpfully underlines for me why I think she’s like Kaiba.

Yep. That is a 100% Guaranteed KaibaCorp Approved Kuriboh Comment.

It all comes down to Yami’s next draw (of course, this is Yu-Gi-Oh! after all) and Yugi comes to help again, and brings the gang along with him.

Look at those cuties.

Yami enacts his dark ritual…

(This show is more occult than D&D and Harry Potter put together, where is the “Save the Children from Satanic Card Games” movement excuse me?)

… and destroys the Harpie Pet Dragon, leaving the Harpies open to destruction from his … witchcraft.

Q: Is Pegasus still behaving inappropriately towards the teenagers he lured onto his private island through coercion?

A: Oooooh!

Mai forfeits the duel because she has nothing that can beat Yami left, and she doesn’t want to watch her Harpies be destroyed. It’s a different kind of honour than Yami’s or Kaiba’s, who would always fight to the last turn and the last drop of holographic blood, no matter how inevitable the defeat, but it’s honour nonetheless, that she has such compassion for her monsters.

She walks away and doesn’t stop when Yami calls after her, until he says “Thank you”.

He’s big enough to admit his weakness and to thank her for coming down hard on him. He recognises it was done from a place of respect and that he needed to be shaken out of his fearful pride and arrogance.

Yep, I can definitely see them being firm fuckbuddies friends.

Dick is Zoro~!!!

The Batman. Halloween costume.

OOH YEAH~! THEY SHOULD MAKE HIM WEAR HIS EGYPTIAN ROBE!!!!

Guess if the pharaoh wears the skirts (^q^)

ありがとうコスパくん😇

He's so ravishing in the third movie omg. I might just watch this again just for him~!

Blondie´s Fashion

I really like Blondie´s style at the beginning of TGTBTU. The look with the long coat, the chic dark blue shirt and the black scarf is as well manly and fashionable.

Oho Marik, don’t ruin it for us fangirls~!! You should get back to Bakura!!

Mark looks like a father spying on his daughter’s date🤣

I guess he doesn't want them to be gay

That last stretch photo. Is he pregnant or something? XD

The way I see it…Even when he’s saying ‘I even implemented his annoying personality’ something like that……

I just knew he like him. HE DEFINITELY DID. THERE’S NO WAY. NO DAMN WAY….THAT HE HATE HIM. NO…..NO OUNCE OF HATE AT ALL WHEN HE SAY THAT!!!!

No such thing. The ship definitely sails itself~

DSOD Review Art (2) : Korean-Dubbed Kaiba Gets 20% More ROMANTIC

※ Removed actual spoilers! :-)

I’m really satisfied by, even so proud of, the Korean dub of Yugioh 《The Dark Side of Dimensions》! The translation is 99.7% accurate compared to the Japanese original version. (The mistrans of ‘Planners’ into ‘Plana’ accounts for the remaining 0.3%, though) And all the voice acting veterans do sincerely a stellar job, making me feel as though the movie was filmed right here in South Korea! Kim Hyun-Wook voicing Aigami is especially noteworthy; he’s only 24 years old but in DSOD, he sounds like he’s been in this business for 30 years 8-D

They should release the DVD and Blu-ray so that Yugioh fans outside South Korea can get access to this wonderful dub :-)

But that’s not all,

It’s predictable that both the way they translate the original script and the way the voice actors do their characters reflect what they think of the characters, and….

….. it seems 200000% obvious the Korean dub team for DSOD actually meant it : making Seto Kaiba look like he’s stuck in legit 20% PURER & MORE ROMANTIC ORPHEAN LOVE with Yami Yugi…..

In the dubbed movie, one of Seto’s lines reminiscing Yami Yugi is like, in Korean : 

“그래, 덱의 구성, 작전 구성, 그리고 은근슬쩍 사람의 신경을 긁는 얄미운 태도까지…..”

In that text, the Korean adjective “얄밉다” is EXTREMELY important;

It basically means ‘annoying’, which is what his Japanese original quote intended to, but the Korean word “얄밉다” also means “annoying, but in an acceptable, CUTE, ADORABLE way”….

…..which leads to the impression that Yami Yugi was “ADORABLE” for Kaiba.

Therefore, it sounded like :

I LOVE THE KOREAN DUB TEAM SO MUCH

Knowing Wally he probs doesn't care that Dick stole that sweater

Grow Up

I never seen rivals in anime so openly go on a date~🤣🤣

I love how Kaiba’s just casually waiting outside the booth, like nbd just Seto Kaiba leaning on a fuckin’ pole.

60s were on a roll with this one. Shirtlessness is just the style I guess(cuz william shatner, obviously🤣)

The writers of Rawhide saw Clint Eastwood and said we need him shirtless NOW.

and they were RIGHT!!!
