  • Yu-Gi-Oh has turned into a massive franchise that all started with small and very different beginnings. Today we start our journey of looking back at the original series of Yu-Gi-Oh, from the weird origins in the Manga and Season 0 to the main anime and movies featuring the original cast of characters.

    Even more than Pokemon Yu-Gi-Oh was my childhood. And rewatching the 4kids dub version to this day is still a treat. Knowing about all the nonsensical rules, censorship, Yugi plot armor and everything else in-between. I think it's makes the dub version even more special and hilarious.

      Dubs during that era weren't always the best overall, (and are a big part of why there's still so much hate for dubs to this day despite any competent stuff being well done these days), but they had a special magic to them that created a unique experience and memories for those of us who grew up with them. They were objectively bad in some regards, but I wouldn't trade them at all.

    Man, I read the manga on my lunch breaks and it was wild how dark the early stuff was. I actually worried I could get in trouble for things like dudes being burned alive and Anzu's bikini (or at least get weird looks.)

      also the multiverse was made by a dead dragon god. Cause the god being dead at cost of creating existence every being that raised to power tried to claim what remained of the god's power or control the multiverse leading to many gods battling for eternity in a power struggle of re-birth and cycles.

    Honestly though, I actually really enjoyed the original season 0 concept.
    The horror game manga was really interesting to me. I also think the manga does a much better job of setting up Bakura as the main villain. I kinda feel like the anime didn’t realize he was a super important character for a while into it.
    But I really loved the idea of there being this spirit who wasn’t exactly a nice guy but was, at least, a just guy. He really felt like a pharaoh. He deals with liars, cheaters, and thieves harshly, but he gives them an opportunity to redeem themselves in the process despite how dark the punishments might be.
    Like that’s the kind of guy I’d want as a king for sure. He seems to have an intuitive idea of who is good and who is evil. Like how he could have easily let Millennium Key dude fall to his death, but realized he wasn’t there for malicious reasons and saved him while warning him not to enter his mind again.
    Very interesting character.

    I used to not be a fan of Duelist Kingdom till recently when I learned that the official rules of the card game itself wasn't even thought of yet during that time, it wasn't till Battle City started where some sense of the card game was made. When YGO came to America, the official rules were already established and set in stone, which is why so much kids were confuse as to wtf was going on in that season

    Dan Green as both Yugi and Atem is so iconic; the contrast between the wimpy, soft-spoken Yugi and the cool, confident, heroic Atem is so pronounced you can hardly believe its the same guy. And he's really able to pull out some strong emotional beats too, great voice actor who never got as much work as he deserved (I know he had some extremely unfortunate personal life stuff that stifled his career, which is tragic for multiple reasons).
    I honestly think it's insane that, to my knowledge, he was never called in once to voice any incarnation of He-Man; he would have destroyed that role so hard

    The bit about it being a gateway unto manga resonated with me hard, on my 9th birthday I saw issue 9 of Shonen Jump at a store in 2003 and begged my grandpa to get it for me because I saw Yugi on the cover, and was greeted with a story about Yugi's friend dressing up as a superhero, getting beat up and his life threatened by thugs to extort his father, and Yugi playing tag with them and a can of spray paint which resulted in a lit cigarette torching all of them and I was hooked for life

    I grew up watching anime, Pokémon, Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura, Dragon Ball, Doraemon, Dr. Slump, and a few more. But Yu-Gi-Oh! ...Oh, indeed, I was invested in that anime and in the game, I used to beg my parents to buy my the cards, and they did, but then years later I found out that the cards were fake, they weren't bootleg cards, they were just copies of the originals. My heart broke, but it is what is is, I still have them and they're very dear to me.

  • @TiagoODuelista
    @TiagoODuelista Před 6 měsíci +16

    One thing worth noting about that first season (and season zero as well), is that the author loved table RPGs and took a lot of inspiration for them to make those first duels. Which is why there so much silly stuff and lack of rules. Is simply both players trying to outsmart each other with classic RPG excuses to proceed with the adventure like blowing up the moon or aging the monsters.

    My favorite part about season zero is that Trudge actually comes back in 5D's as an antagonist at first, but he comes around and sticks around as a side character on the side of the protagonists. While I've never seen season zero, I do have the manga and it is really a trip compared to the main manga and anime most will know and love. My first exposure to this series was when it started airing in the US and it instantly hooked me and I started buying cards, mainly just to collect as I had no idea about where/how to join any tournaments and that I had no real interest in competitive Yu-gi-oh!. I still actually have old 1st edition Legend of Blue Eyes cards (nothing rare) and the original Kaiba and Yugi starter decks in their original boxes. I've been a big fan of this series ever since it came over to the U.S., still got some of the old PS1, PS2, Gameboy and DS games.
    And can we talk about Pegasus's amazing drip in the episode in which he duels Yugi through the television? I don't know why, but that outfit just looks good on him.

    My first episode of the series was Joey's duel against Mai. It got me completely hooked. Since that day, I've kept up with all series since childhood. Though, in terms of my actual childhood, only DM and GX count.

It was amazing and dark and it was such a huge shock to see the anime shortly after that was very different and heavily censored.

    I don't think I ever got engrossed with a series than Yu-Gi-Oh! during it's battle city arc. I would religiously watch it after school (thankfully they'd air two episodes back to back). Unfortunately, I never properly learned how to play the actual TCG until I started emulating Stairway To The Destined Duel for GBA and got immediately sucked in. I also love the original seven volumes of the Manga, they felt comfy as high school stories wrapped up in weird and deadly games of chance (almost kind of Twilight Zone feeling)

    I guess I never really questioned why SO many answers were given to us relatively early on in this show, in comparison to many other anime in the same vein. Though it makes sense when you realize that the start of the show we all know is actually over seven volumes into the story, so for people who’ve been reading since the start, the explanation of the pharaoh’s origins has come years after where they started the series.

    Dungeon Dice Monsters was a great game and the episodes did a great job of explaining it. The manga version of DDM was even better and had higher stakes. The GBA game was on me of my favorites too

    This video is pretty enjoyable, you're hitting a lot of good points for me, reminding me of when I was younger I like how you brought up the US version of the WSJ manga. I was relatively young when those monthly SJ manga came out, and they ended up discontinuing them relatively soon after I got into them. I didn't have internet or anything, so I thought it was just bad luck for a long time that stores never seemed to have them. They were definitely a big push into getting me into manga as a whole, and it was cool when years later I would finally be able to read many of the series included to completion, and see more context of those mostly standalone chapters I was able to read. I got relatively few of them overall, but I seem to remember them having cards like Malefic Stardust Dragon, and probably others. Similarly, the book fair at my school had some Yu-Gi-Oh manga. I've been out of the physical card game for ages, so the Kachi Kochi Dragon that came with Zexal volume 1 is still the only XYZ monster card I have.

    3 things I remembered and had questions about with Duelist kingdom.
    1) thr name of that other card game that helped inspire some of the rules and ideas. I think it was a card game with a diamond shaped field that didn't last.
    2nd) how did Mai tell each scented card from one another... Much less always draw the only monster card in her deck?
    3) cards games with table talk to DnD explain BS for how they get away with certain moves... Sounds like a lot of fun to play.

    Aahh, sweet childhood!
    I remember watching Yu-Gi-Oh! here in Sweden, which aired directly after Pokémon on either Saturdays or Sundays (they shifted every now and again.) Funnily enough, it had the same censorship as in the US, except for the names. For some reason, they kept their original japanese names in the Swedish dub.
    Later on I remember buying the first 2 volumes of the Manga. Which surprised me a lot, seeing how different and darker it was. I loved it though!
    I'd absolutely recommend everyone to experience the first 7 volumes of the manga, if possible. Sure, there is the "Season 0" of the anime, but I still think the Manga is the way to go.
    I also just remembered being subscribed to Shonen Jump here in Sweden, and one of the later issues towards the end of the short run it had, you actually got a Red Eyes Black Dragon card. Good times!

    I remember the playability and Egyptian aspects of the show. By the time I got to this show at age 19 in 2009 there was the game though. (My parents didn't care if I had TV or not as a child.) I had been an Ancient Egypt freak as a child for the fact they worshiped cats like I do. So when this TV show employed aspects of their culture I was hooked. This was one of two animes that I ever got invested in, the other being DBZA.
