  • The relationship between Bakura and Yami Bakura in Yugioh is very interesting. How did Ryou Bakura and Yami Bakura interact? Yami Bakura and Bakura were one of the most important characters in Yugioh Duel Monsters. Whether it was Bakura in Duelist kingdom, Bakura in Battle City or Bakura in Dawn of the Duel. He was always pivotal for the story. Bakura had famous duels, Bakura VS Marik, Bakura VS Yugi but what was most important was Bakura VS Yami Bakura

  • @draketheduelist
    @draketheduelist Před rokem +57

    For all the context that the dub took out of the show, one introduction that I retroactively found _fascinating_ after the end of the series was how often Bakura would serve as sort of a color commentator for other characters' duels, commentating on strategic choices and board states with an experience seemingly on par with even Yugi. Something else seemingly unrelated until you think about it was that it's shown on a few occasions that Yami Bakura can mimic Ryou Bakura's voice, to the point where nobody can even tell that anything is amiss. Put those two dub-induced plot points together and it suggests that Yami Bakura is _always_ in Bakura's head constantly, and the amount of time that Ryou Bakura is genuinely free from Yami Bakura's influence in the dub might be _far_ less than we would think.
    Another equally plausible idea is that, if that really _is_ Ryou Bakura making all those calls and game state analyses, Ryou Bakura must be _really good_ at the game. Like _scarily_ good. Just how good could he be if he really got the chance to let loose? Could he even beat Kaiba if he had to? (Yes, I know Kaiba and Yami Bakura technically dueled, but Yami Bakura had no intent of doing anything more than loading Diabound up with Blue-Eyes' power, so him throwing the game abruptly was just part of a larger scheme and shouldn't reflect any actual prowess or lack thereof.)
    The other weird thing about Bakura is his card choice, especially relative to everybody else. I like to think that Bakura's deck in Duelist Kingdom was competitively illegal, hence why the duel between Bakura and Yugi had to be some unsanctioned fun duel. After all, how terrifying could a Blue-Eyes White Dragon possibly be in a format where Man-Eater Bug is legal? But then again, if that made sense, literally everybody would be running a Summoned Skull unless they had a _very_ good reason not to, and they don't. You'd think at least _Kaiba_ would use one (he certainly has no qualms with making people face down a playset of Blue-Eyes), but no, and his reasoning _can't_ just be "1200 DEF lol", as if Kaiba would care. But if Bakura's deck _is_ legal, the fact that he would use cards like White Magical Hat, Man-Eater Bug, Electric Lizard, and of course Change of Heart suggests that Ryou Bakura himself uses a control deck, something virtually unheard of at this point in the story, even from supposed pro players like Weevil (combo) or Mai (voltron).
    If you look at his duels, Bakura is _always_ one step ahead of the rest of the in-universe meta. In Duelist Kingdom, he uses effect monsters long before anybody else. In Battle City, he responds to other fairly aggressive strategies with instant-win combos that masterfully use his own life points as a resource while casually laughing off opposing beaters. (In fact, if the Winged Dragon of Ra wasn't a cheating SOB of a card, he would've smoked Yami Marik. ...Then again, so would Mai.) And in his final duel with Yugi, he fights Yugi's fully-loaded goat-format-esque control deck with a _mill lock_ of all things. Unless we are supposed to believe that Yami Bakura steals tons of cards when Ryou isn't looking, Ryou must _have_ all those cards, possibly in decks he personally runs. If so, Ryou Bakura himself is one of the most dangerously intelligent characters in the entire Duel Monsters arc, making even _Kaiba_ look like he's playing some kind of brainless aggro beatdown by comparison. And if Ryou _is_ that smart, think how sadistic that would make Yami Bakura: someone who would recognize and exploit young brilliance for his own ends, carelessly smothering any chance Ryou had of making something of himself as a duelist in his own right. Ryou could've been the Magnus Carlsen of Duel Monsters, but to Yami Bakura, he's just a useful tool at best.

      I love the idea of Bakura secretly being a Duelist on Yugi's level or greater. Its technically a Yami Bakura redemption story, but I read a story called Ba-Ku-Rah that ran with the idea of Yami Bakura/Zorc and Thief King Bakura being different people, following a timeline where after the Monster World incident a Thief King Bakura with scrambled memory splinters off from Yami Bakura, having been possessed by Zorc the whole time. Then he and Bakura have a much healthier yami-host dynamic similar to Yugi and Atem. They even fight Strings during Battle City and together win Slifer/Osiris instead of Yugi. Sadly, the fic seems to have died as I haven't seen any updates in a long time, but it was one of the first fics I found that explored the ripple effect of a reformed (at least, on Bakura’s side, he still resents the Pharaoh from what I remember, he just hates Zorc more) Yami Bakura on the timeline, and now I love exploring that in my work.

      Yeah, the dub British accent is to reflect Bakura’s *extremely polite* speech patterns in the Japanese version. Listening to him talk, his lines are basically lifted from a Japanese textbook, no slang, no contractions, no informality. This would not translate into English so they gave him an accent to connote basically the same thing for Americans - he's very polite and formal no matter who he's talking to.

      In the fics I've had him Duel in, I've had him use the occult deck. The only exception is in an AU where Yami Bakura is ressurected and Bakura helps him into becoming a good guy (inspired by LuckyLadybug who did basically the same thing). They tag team together and since Yami Bakura uses the occult deck Bakura uses the tarot deck from Duelist Kingdom.

    Honestly, it's actually kinda interessting how characters can differ in diffrent versions of the story. In the manga and Toei anime, there is a scene where the spirit stabs Bakura's hand, yet no such aggression is made in the Duel Monsters anime. From the perspective of that anime, the one time he physically went too far with him(putting him on the duel field in a horrible state), he chickened out of it.(With the stated rationale of "I can't risk loosing my vessal", but the changed anime-context makes it less clear. Due to his anime-despiction being less about trickery as a whole, it could legitimately be seen as an intentionally out of character-responce due to remaining memories of Thief King Bakura's tragic past. Obviously not in the sense of "I care about you", but rather a "I don't feel like seeing this right now".) He's also just a lot less insanely evil in the anime, as he doesn't just violently delete Pegasus from existance, unlike in the manga.
    From the perspective of actual Bakura, the rewritten 4kids dub has a plothole where they kept the backstory from the japanese anime of his father buying the ring from some random guy while he was away, but then they made the dub of DSoD part of their continuity, even tho it was supposed to be for the manga exclusively, and that movie has the scene of how Bakura was there in egypt and how he got the ring. One way this could be reasoned with is that this just means that the dubbing team accidentially introduced an implied plotpoint where the event was straight up too traumatic for Bakura as a kid and thus his mind made up some logical sounding story that doesn't involve a dark ring knocking two people out with one of them dying from it.
    Honestly, this is kinda the beauty of Yu-gi-oh in a way. There are so many impactful characters and storylines across multiple decades of media that cover multiple versions of the same stories sometimes and even tho not every piece of writing in there is amazing, it is really fun to look into the standout details that are great and how they were crafted, be it from precisely planned intention or by lucky accident.

    Bakura was one of my most favorite characters in original Yugioh series, especially his Yami counterpart. Unfortunately after Bakura isn't under the control of his dark self, we never see him do amything as cool as Yami Bakura would. If there was ever a way Bakura might have been as good as his Dark self if not better was was if he ended up becoming the Tommy Oliver of the Yugioh series!
    Now to anyone who has ever watched Power Rangers, you should know that in his younger days, Tommy Oliver started his Ranger career as a mind puppet for Rita Repulsa in the 1st series, until the Ranger team at the time freed him, which would give him a chance to redeem himself by joining the PR as their 6th member, and using his powers for good.
    So if Yugioh ever used this for Bakura, then I believe that if he ever wanted to make amends to Yugi and the others he wronged before, he would use his past experience with Yami Bakura as a reason to be a better than he was. Plus if by some chance any of Yami Bakura's cards were left intact, then I think he should use there powers to help others rather than hurt them. For example if Bakura still had Diabound, he could use its effect stealing powers to borrow the effects of its fallen comrades, such as using one of the effects of Yugi's monsters in the likely event they were in a tag duel. Who knows, it might have been the original Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon?
    Well I don't know about you, but what do you think?

      On the other hand I adore the motion of Bakura being stronger and learning from his trauma. He literally could be the strongest, using the analogy of him being the odd ranger, be it Tommy from Mighty Morphing or Merrick from Wild force. That would make a fantastic what if Tbh.

    Using a shared account to comment:
    In 'The Dark Side of Dimensions' Aigami gains Bakura's hair when he becomes "Dark Diva"! It's my opinion that the Millennium Ring was still housing the soul of Thief King Bakura even though Zorc was purified and destroyed, and that is why the Millennium Ring is still so incredibly corrupting, because the soul of Thief King Bakura is still not repentant for his actions as Yami Bakura even after being freed from Zorc; so he was trying to turn Mani and then Diva into a new host. (The Ring may have the power to consume souls that then live inside it; evil Bakura and prior to that Zorc may just have been the most dominant.) Personally, I hope this isn't the last we see of the Millennium Ring if for no other reason than I want to see further development of evil Bakura as a character, but with a different host or with his own body.

And everyone just turn a blind of eye of this massacre while he was forced to watch everyone is killed. And to make it worse nobody but Aknadin knows it since he then hypnotized the Soldiers to forgot about the whole incident.

      It's a matter of debate in the fandom how much control Thief King Bakura had over Yami Bakura, aka how much of it was him and how much was the piece of Zorc making the decisions. I prefer LuckyLadybug's take on it: Zorc possessed Thief King Bakura so insidiously he didn't even realize he was being influenced, similar to how the Pyramid of Light affected Kaiba. Zorc put some of his more insane/evil ideas such as trying to summon Zorc and destroy the world into Thief King Bakura’s head and led him to believe they were his own ideas, and being stuck in the Ring with him for Millennia didn't help. By the time Thief King Bakura became Yami Bakura this had gone on for so long that TKB thought he and Zorc were the same entity, and they almost were, to the point that separating them would tear TKBs soul to shreds. However, with Zorc gone, he's able to think more clearly and is no longer interested in summoning Zorc (TKB, while an unrepentant thief while he was alive, just wanted to avenge Kul Elna by killing Atem and taking the Millennium Items - he was sure they belonged to him by birthright because they were made from his friends and family members killed at Kul Elna. He had no interest in summoning Zorc until he stole the Ring). Not really a good person, but more of a victim than it appeared at first glance - and yes, LuckyLadybug's story does lampshade the similarity between Yami Bakura’s situation and how he treated Bakura in the form of an internal monolog from TKB himself, as he's dying post-Millennium World. I'm paraphrasing what he said, but he put it something like, "My life is not mine any more than your life is yours."
      Go read Pendulum Swings by LuckyLadybug yall, it's great.

    My Idea Is That Bakura LETS Yami Bakura Protect Bakura Because Of His PAST LIFE Yes Ryou Was The
    INNOCENT SELF Of Yami Bakura So What If He FAKED Being Evil And Was Watching Ryou The REASON Of
    Him Doing This Is Because Of Zorc Yami Bakura FEARED That Zorc Would Find Bakura And Later
    Yami Bakura SENSED Bakura's Danger And Went To Save Him From Aigami

    Never thought that real bakura just doesn't want to talk about it he's so he just doesn't for that Yami bakura hides it from him instead of that he has foggy memory or he hides it from himself or that in battle City which you brought up Yami bakura was pretending to be bakura what actually was how did you miss that Yami bakura was pretending to be the bakura in that season and season 0 is non-canon
