I always thought that the Darkest punishment was when Mokuba lost and thought he was trapped in a capsule. At least, the darkest one I've seen so far. I haven't finished it yet.
"Why are you setting me on fire?"
"You forgot to say Uno."
This reminds me of "if uno was an anime"

I loved the actually dark yugi so much more in the old manga. It made so much more sense. Yami Yugi was a pharaoh of ancient Egypt of course he would be judge, jury, executioner. I also really loved the Millennium World volumes.
Both of those were my favorites as well
There was only one thing I hated about that arc, and that was Yugi using Slifer as bait so Seto could try to mark Diabound with his sword.
That was just complete and utter stupidity. Even if that gambit succeeded none of the other priests monsters would have been able to take him down anyway. He threw away a god monster hoping that a bunch of weaker monsters would be able to take Bakura down.
I always wandered why he's called Yami (dark) watching Duel Monsters. Then i started season 0 and i understood. Now i came to know the manga is even more evil, gud. More sense to the name.
Winnie The Pooh it makes more sense then you make of it because with atem being a pharaoh he is then considered as a personification of the god Osiris (same as the god card Osiris which is why atem is so linked to it). And Osiris after his death was made responsible for judging deceased souls on their resting place. In a way the games atem plays are a reflection of the very same test Osiris would perform to judge the soul and character of the deceased.

Honestly, we don’t know what happens to people when they lose. But when they cheat. ^^
SAY FELLAS, DID SOMEBODY MENTION THE DOOR TO DARKNESS?
Yami Yugi: "I banish you to the shadow realm."
Victim: "Dude, we are just playing patty cake."
Yami Yugi: "Trust me, the Shadow Realm is child's play compared to what I've done in the past. Let me tell you about the time I set up this one guy to be lit on fire..."
Unversed Hero mhm
Unversed Hero I love “VICTIM” XD
Yami Yugi: ‘The Door of Darkness opens.’
Some guy: ‘Boi I was playing solitare.’
lol I highly doubt the word victim is the right word for it. if the pharaoh is challenging them to a shadow game in the first place and worse if he believes they deserves to get punished, then you KNOW they did something shady.
Kaiba: Hey let me see what you haaave.
Mokuba: *A KNIFE*
Kaiba: NOOOOO
Yugi: oh my god why does he have a knife
Why to cut people's fingers off and force them to eat it of course. I'm not even kidding this is actually the reason he has the knife and Seto's even crazier.
When someone quotes a Vine and you know it...
Mokuba: Don't worry, I'm gonna use it on Yugi

Vampire bakura
I like to think Atem chilled out so much between season 0 and when duel monsters kicked off because of Yugi's subtle growth and influence. Yugi befriended two of his bullies and turned them into some of his most loyal friends and in general just became surrounded by much better people. So Atem decided to start giving second chances...or at least stop setting people on fire. The infamous Beserker Soul scene basically shows what happens when Atem gets pissed off and Yugi isn't there to reel him in.
That berserker soul episode is that ss0 Atem moments.
But setting people on fire was interesting xD
You can see that with the end of the Kaibaland arc. He would be entirely justified in killing him, or at least doing serious damage. However, he chooses to give him a second chance to reform into a better person. This arc continues into the D&D game with Bakura (which may or may not even be in the show, I've never watched it), where the Pharoh expresses great pride in Yugi's courage to put himself on the front line with his friends.
DID HIS HAND JUST GET TURNED INTO A GUN?
finger guns were real all along
That's not all, in the manga Keith threatens Pegasus with a knife instead of a gun.
@@zmslayer69 mainly because they were a lot closer to each other in the manga
@@Alb410 Not exactly, threating someone with a knife makes it seem way more serious and intense than with a gun.
That's why they changed it in the anime.
@@zmslayer69 hes talking about the guy with a bandana. the biker looking guy. the guy whose hand was turned into a gun...
@@madbeef420 I know
I will never forget the Season 0 episode where Yugi turns a guy into a clock. That scene was just creepy! Loved it!
Dont remember that
its was amazing i loved it
@Amazing Spiderman Fan 2002 I'm two months late but heres the full episode : czcams.com/video/9T0VlpFC8Oo/video.html
it's only like 14 minutes and I highly suggest watching it all for context, but also cause you get to see the really grim end to that guy.
but if you want heres just the part where the guy get's mindfucked here it is: czcams.com/video/_Zlw0lCGUT4/video.html
What about in the manga when the guy was set on fire
Ah yes, my favorite scene :D
(Ok no tf is that tho)
and people call me stupid when i said that there's a Yu-Gi-Oh Season 0 where its more violent
Firefly I knew that there’s a season 0 that was never made outside of Japan, but unless you can understand Japanese then the only way to watch it legally without pirating it is by buying the series online on VHS tapes on watching them.
I blew my roommates mind when I told him there was a actually violent YuGiOh. 😂😂😂
Firefly he talked about it you didnt watch the video
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr I found the complete season on youtube fansubbed, unless they took it down. I saved it, though...
@@mx.n.3682 that's piracy
Technically, Yugi is not *always* the one dealing out the punishment. Many of the harshest punishments occurred when a person tried to cheat, and cheating in a Shadow Game is effectively a death sentence.
Ah yes, “Season 0” the forbidden season!
lel
Thats the only yu-gi-oh i watch and its my favorite
Ah Yes, The Forbidden Anime. The thing that Most Fans Rarely knows when going Deep into Yu-gi-oh
It not possible no one has ever seen it
@@SavageOwl36 pffftt season 0 is the only season
Yess, someone finally talked about. this.
It basically was suppose to be a horror manga and the card game came after.
Check out CHAOSIC Rune
Star Dreamer he’s not the only CZcamsr that mentioned that trivia though because Little Kurriboh mentioned that too, and his most favorite Yu-Gi-Oh series is season 0.
Takahashi ripped off Araki's D'arby the Elder.
Kinda makes me think of The Laughing Salesman, now that I think about it...
Battle City arc in the manga is arguably darker than the season 0, and this was a moment after the card game got introduced.
In the manga Malik ( Marik ) literally tore off his father's skin and tried to implant it on his brother Rishid's ( odion ) face.
9:56 Rest In Peace Kazuki Takahashi you absolute legend who wanted nothing more but to bring kids to play board and card games rather than video games
May your legacy live on 🙏
What a nostalgia trip! Great video, JWittz. I grew up with this manga as well as the TV show we all know and love.

Wished Trudge and Yami Yugi had a special dialogue referring to the Season Zero bit.
It's almost like 4 kids overcompensated for how hardcore the original was
No....the show anericans saa was completely different
Captain Zoltan77 you’re actually right about how 4Kids really did butcher Yu-Gi-Oh because the manga artist originally wanted his anime series to be a lot like Saw or Dexter but animated, but before some reason people used to think that just because a show is animated it most be for children which is further from the truth.
Heh...

I love the original Yugioh manga. As someone whose read it since Middle school, it’s a treat seeing people reacting to the old manga. Especially if they only grew up on the anime.
I love your reactions J-Wittz, this was a great treat to watch.

In my Yugioh fan series, I made a joke that Yami was renting Yugi's body and they don't share pain and ill-ness
Thoughts watching this; 'Season 0 was dark, but not nearly as dark as the original manga.'

Wish Takahashi would magically have the powers to reboot the series, so it could have that original dark edge.
I dunno. I mean, some of the censorship was really dumb, but I think the “Shadow Realm” was actually a good change. The series has that theme of dark ancient secrets, men playing with powers far beyond their control. And a realm of nothing but a sickly purple haze that eats away at your soul really helps sell that idea. The best censorship of scary concepts are the ones that become even scarier than the original when you come back later
This is what I want
@@spindash64 I feel like we could get a good mixture if they release the episodes uncut but still dubbed. There’s parts where the shadow realm works really well, but others where it feels incredibly out of place, like the duel against Arcana/Pandora’s in battle city, trying to play off a bunch of spinning saw blades as dark energy blades that will send you straight to the shadow realm instead of cutting off your legs is a little off.
@@roastingghosts1302 They released an uncensored dub but it only covers the first 9 episodes.
@Roasting Ghosts
I always thought it would actually cut off your legs and slide you off into the Shadow Realm like a slide.
I legitimately remember coming across this 'Season 0' when I was only little, maybe 7 or 8 when I was first getting into YuGiOh. I'm fairly sure this scarred me for life, but I'm glad you took the time to explore this topic Josh!
Early Yu-Gi-Oh is such a treat to watch.
Not that I dislike Duel Monsters, but it's just so different.
Yea unfortunately today's game is about spamming FTK's and the animated show became cancer, RIP it had a great run and didn't deserve this treatment.
Already knew this as a YugiOh fan. Not a lot of people who have watched YuGiOh have seen season 0 though, so the dark side of YuGiOh is quickly fogotten.
I loved the video, it's fun to see you talking about other geeky stuff from time to time.
One of my fav scenes is when young Kaiba greatly exceded the expectations of Kaiba Corp CEO.
So he decided to give him the company right then and there by jumping trough the glass and killing himself.
Edgy, brutal, but so memorable
Right
I read the manga as a little kid. Probably why I'm so messed up nowadays...
plus it was stated the yami was very dark in the beginning and mellowed out as the series went on
@@da-vidcargill4975 Well the author originally wanted to do a horror manga which is why Yami Yugi's appearance and actions are very dark. If i'm not mistaken i believe Yami means Darkness in Japanese. Yugi is supposed to be the innocent child like side of the character while Yami is the dark side that seeks vengeance against those who wrong him and his friends.
FINALLY somebody is talking about this, the original manga was what got my into yu-gi-oh in the first place. (Honestly I wish they had more)

RIP Takahashi - He must've been around age 30 when he made Yu-Gi-Oh, his art is incredibly detailed. My childhood wouldn't have been anywhere near as good without the friends/memories I made playing Yu-Gi-Oh!
Imagine Yu-Gi-Oh! Always being like the first 7 volumes.
"You STOLE my DIAMONDS?"
*Computer proceeds to send 10 000 volts to the thief*
Lol that would be great.
Yeah I remember reading the Yugioh Manga, IT...WAS...CRAZY compared to the anime and it was awesome!
Also there is no iconic shadow realm, its a censorship for just killing the dude.
the shadow games were real though. Yami no Game, Game of Darkness. You lose, you suffer a punishment game, which either erodes your mind in an illusion or straight up kills you.
"To the Shadow Realm with you!
J.k. i have killed you." *in LittleKuribos voice*
The shadow realm is basically death anyway. Your soul trapped in a horrific world full of monsters with no escape while your body is forever comatose.
IT’S BASICALLY DEATH.
Where can I read the manga
I feel the need to mention Yuugi once was hanged from his puzzle rope
Why didn't you talk about the horrors of Kaibaland? That place was full of death games!
Including Kaiba getting a literal serial killer (a Jason-like guy) to get back at Yugi, then trying to crush them under blocks (almost killed Tristan), etc.
We forgot Kaiba was a sociopath
Of course he was evil. He used to have GREEN HAIR!
oh yeah! with "death t-4" against Mokuba, and "death t-5" against Kaiba which is originally when Yami Yugi first plays Exodia
What about Eggmanland?
7:54 I loved that part hahahaha
"Everyone has a knife;
He's got a knife, he's got a knife yugi's got a knife.. freaking!!"
Fun fact: During the Duelist Kingdom arc, the “Player Killers” didn’t get mind crushed in the manga. In the case of the Ventriloquist of the Dead (replaced by the Imitator of Death/Kaiba’s evil side in the anime), he got attacked by a puppet version of himself. Meanwhile, the Player Killer of Darkness/PaNiK got hung after Yami won a bet where he would claim victory within a specific amount of turns. The Player Killer even took one step closer to the gallows with each passing turn!
The final season/manga arc of the original yugioh series is one of the best. All the build up and character development pays off. Especially for the main villain Bakura. He shines so well in it and the clash between bakura and yugi is amazing
The manga doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves.

He does that in the anime too, minus the blood tho because 4kids.
tbh the spirit of the millennium ring is extremely messed up in the manga. he makes ryos life miserable by killing anyone who tries to befriend him and stabs ryo in the chest using the ring so that he can't take it off even if he wanted to. so yeah, seeing him licking some blood is not that surprising
The blood was already removed in the japanese anime.
Dude I knew he was dark but dark yugi has a closet of literal skeletons
This was so sick to find out about. I remember watching Yu-Gi-Oh as a child and in the early episodes I always felt as if something was off. It's that feeling of when you start watching a series or movie from the middle, and while you can piece things together, you still feel like there's a lot left out.
Dude! That is exactly how I felt about the 4Kids dud.
@@Noobclock666 Same. I always thought it was kind of weird that they never actually showed how Yugi got the puzzle.

Dra-

Loved that you covered Season 0 and the first 7 volumes of yugioh. The dark natures of how each game was used was like a high stake gamble and there was no forgiveness for cheaters.
Yeah I felt like that aspect of Yugi punishing the criminals because they all ended up cheating was slightly overlooked. More focusing on the season 0 shock factor so to speak.
The arcs are actually structured a lot like jojo with the evil of the week, and at the end instead of the token ora ora beatdown once villian defeated yugi mindcrushes or kills them
That first season of YuGiOh was the true definition of *Yami Game* or *shadow games.* It was very dark, but I enjoy it (except the times when they harrassed the Anzu).
As someone who loves the yugioh card game all my life & is a big part of myself, I weirdly at the same time wished we could see what could have been if yugioh went in it's original direction, I love all those death matches/games in the manga (turning things like air hockey, laser tag into games of death, or a simple knife game) and i was really impressed the amount of times he created a brand new game out of the blue that i could see being a world-wide phenomenon in itself (like those capsule monsters, his D&D game, or those boxing creatures) but either way yugioh will always be a huge favorite of mine.
I actually read this growing up as a kid. Probably shouldn’t have considering how young I was, but still had a blast reading it.
I remember I always called Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler) “Zucchini”, because I didn’t know how to pronounce it.
I'm twelve and would rather have read the original manga. Also, it's Jo-no-chi. Why do people think it's so hard?
Ava Keniley-Browning I was a kid dude, I didn’t know better. I know how to pronounce it now.
The other day, out of habit I said Jonouichi. One of my friends was like, "wut?" And the other just yelled "ANZU" (I kinda looked like her that day...)
Well, shounen jump is pretty much targetted at grade school and junior high kids in Japan so you were probably in the right age group, maybe not the right country (depending on how conservative your country is).
robotroadrage I was like 11, so no.
You using the Duelist of the Roses soundtrack in the background just made my day
Falsebound kingdoom for the GameCube gamers, But I was thinking the same, That soundtrack is perfect
Thank you that game needs a rereleasing
That soundtrack needs so much more attention!
Also that game needs a remaster and massive expansion allowing the collection of the entire card collection through insane grind
This reminded me of the time Tea was lured into an empty studio only to find some dude waiting to attack her. In the dub he said something like drop your purse and leave but something tells me that if Yami Yugi hadn't interfered, a lot more would have happened.
I remember stumbling upon the first volume as a kid, and I was do weirded out by it. After reading it for a while I realized that I liked this version more than card game stuff. Very interesting to know why the author went in that direction.
Ever considered doing a video comparing and contrasting several Yugioh anime scenes and their much darker counterparts in the original manga?
Second that!! Would love to see that!
Third it! (Don't know if that is a thing- don't care. It is now.)
THIRD IT!!!!!
I think one of THE MOST terrifying/awesome moments from the manga is what happened the day Marik went evil. The dad was heating up swords and stabbing them into Odion.
Then Marik went into his alter ego and literally sliced off the skin of his fathers back and threw it onto Odion as a joke. "Hey, you wanted proof of belonging to our family? Here, have my dad's tattoo."
In the Japanese version Marik straight up killed his dad as a kid and Odion after his loss in Battle City
@@toangreenlow2229 Marik never killed Odion or he wouldn't have been able to bring Marik back to his senses during the finals. He certainly tried, though. He just kept getting interrupted, and eventually they hid him somewhere.

Season 0 Yugioh: *(Chuck Norris Mode Activated)*
Alternatively...
DM Yugi: Can kinda hold his own, but mostly needs Yami till the end
Season 0 Yugi: Completely sucks at every game and needs Yami to beat people for him
Manga Yugi: Absolute God at games, defeats almost everyone, can definitely hold his own, doesn't exactly need Yami, but they are an amazing duo
RIP Takahashi, thank you for an awesome childhood....
takahashi also said in an interview that it was starting to become hard for him to come up with different types of games for every chapter so he decided to focus on the card games instead which was easier.
Dark Yugi just wants fire. I can't blame him
69th
I burn with cleansing flame or glassing planets
Let's go Jwittz, we need more yugioh players. If you start making more yugioh content I'll totally watch it.
You know Yu-Gi-Oh is the most popular card game in human history, right?
Yu-Gi-Oh has held the record for the largest card game tournament like 3 different times. And if you consider the 3 separate 200th YCS tournaments that were being held as a single event, to be a single tournament, then Yu-Gi-Oh currently holds the record with over 10,000 players between the 3 cities. The tournament in Columbus Ohio alone had nearly 3000 players.
And there are tons of Yu-Gi-Oh related CZcamsrs. Dzeef, teamAPS, house of champs, cimoooooo, NyhmNim, dpYGO, davinator1212, and simply unlucky just to name a few of the bigger ones. They call themselves "yugitubers".
I think saying "Yu-Gi-Oh needs more players" is a tad unnecessary. We're overrun with players.
@maxie fuqua
Don't forget about Rank10(Rata).
And can we count Littlekuriboh as a yugituber? I mean, he does almost exclusively YGO related content, streams Duel Links duels and did Booster Pack openings
@@JackOfen rata is awesome. His stuff is hilarious. I don't know if I would count little kuriboh as a yugituber, but he's definitely worth mentioning.
maxie fuqua true.Plus Cinnoooo,Veiz,Yugioh everything and Asian blue eye white dragon I recommend them.
@@edwardrobinson5470 I mentioned cimoooooo, never heard of veiz, and azneyes is kinda trash.
This scary part is that kaiba in the show has green hair
Looks brown to me
Yes comdy
Someone: *breaks game rule *
Yami Yugi: *lights match *
(Also in the Anime there was another girl named Miho)
"Removal of any religious symbols"
*Zooms into DMG's chest*
The best religion there is
For some reason, I now think that Danganronpa was somewhat inspired by Yu-Gi-Oh
Season zeros yami and yugi voice actress actually did one of the Dangaronpa protagonists
_upupupupupu~_
Thanks to CZcams "most replayed" feature, we can now see that majority are more interested in this shot at 1:29 than the actual video.
"Religious symbols."
Man I remember reading this manga at my high school’s library. I thought it was so different then what I saw on the show.
I honestly would have liked it more like this then the card game. But that’s just me.
Very nice to see people supporting the manga like this. It's way underrated and I hope people decide to read it now because of this video.
Dark Yugi: "Let's play a game! If you die, you lose!"
*BOOM*
Dark Yugi: "Opps, looks like I win. Hehehe..."
I've been dueling since I was 8.
And I remember reading the first "season 0" manga and it sure was a shock..!
Also I have 15 dark magicians by trading my rarest and most insane cards...
I really like YuGiOh..
I mean, if you traded rare cards for Dark Magicians, I'd hate to tell you but you got ripped off.
@@Medbread That's the point! I thought it'd be funny to collect dark magicians, one of the most popular cards but also very weak.. I do have a 2 limited edition glossy dark magicians with a gold border tho!
@@navivaldez6240 Well, actually, those are from the Dark Side of Dimensions set, where every card in the pack is gold, and the Dark Magician in that set runs for around $1.26 USD. There are multiple cards in that set that are worth much more than the Dark Magician, such as the Blue Eyes Alternative White Dragon, worth about $17.79 USD. Though, I understand you're a Dark Magician fanatic, so don't let me stop you
P.S. I like your pfp
@@Medbread Thanks for informing me💜.
P.S. I love you too 😉
Dude i have like 6 or 7 dark magician's by buying them dont trade your rare cards for them they are very good but still why trade rare cards for them
When talking about Yami Bakura - "That boy ain't right!"
Me: You're - you're just now realizing this?
“dark origins “
they’re literally summoning demons💀
Pro tip: This is also the case in Digimon.
Beelzemon. Yes.
Oh my god the Mokuba part killed me
Brian Smith both Mokuba and Kaiba were psychopaths in the original manga
Missed Opportunity: The SHADOWY Origins of Yu-Gi-Oh!
And just IMANGINE
What if Yami from duel monsters or the Duelist manga, met Yami of season 0.
I just want to see how that would end
Dark Yami: "Why can´t i set you on fire?"
Light Yami: "All conflicts have to been resolved by playing a childrens card game",
*start shuffling his cards*
@@molybdaen11 I tottaly agree
@@molybdaen11 cue Dark Yami getting destroyed and put on a penalty game of his own
Yami Yugi from Duelist Kingdom is still frightening and demented.
PaniK got illusion of being hanged in darkness, The puppet master got illusion of being maimed by his own puppet, Mai got off easy because she didn't try to pull off her perfume stunt against Yami Yugi in final four rounds...
I never read the card game-era parts of the manga, but considering that it's all one single continuity there, I'm guessing that Yugi's character development in the manga is much clearer since the anime versions of Duel Monsters Yugi and Season 0 Yugi are pretty different from each other.
I am so happy you talked about the manga, I absolutely love it! It is by far my favourite version of Yu-Gi-Oh!, and I'm glad to see Season Zero get a mention too.
Ushio, the guy who swims in leaves and garbage, is Trudge from 5D's.
Wonder if he still sees leaves as money
@@AxisChurchDevotee probably why we dont see trudge and leaves in the same frame in yugioh 5ds
When a Yu-gi-oh fan finds out about season 0 and the manga:
*The Doors of Darkness have opened*
Yu Gi Oh has a pretty crazy history all around. I think I liked it the most around 5D's era, personally.
Another crazy rabbit hole is Duel Masters. The interplay between that game and Magic: The Gathering is pretty wild, as are the links from Duel Masters to another Japanese TCG, Cardfight Vanguard (which, incidentally, also shares a tie with Yu Gi Oh in that its creator and manga artist worked on the Yu Gi Oh R manga)
Considering that the yu gi oh manga was the first manga I've ever read ( my very first book being the 1st volume) it's weird to see people talk about it as something completely unknown.
But it also makes it clear just how many people grew up only watching the anime.
Same! Only for me it was vol 2.
The watered down anime for kids
It was my first as well... Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles was second.
8:01 That reference was used *perfectly*
"Wanna play like Season zero?"
"Yeah I guess. Season Zero?"
Moments later
"Darn I lost. But hey good ga.."
*Click click*
"Woe put that down."
"You lose the game. You lose your life."
Intense!!!!
This honestly makes me feel like I should watch The Abridged Series again
If Yugi asks to play a game of Cheat with you, politely decline and run for your life.
I think the best part of the manga (which you did kind of touch on) is that even after the original seven volumes, during duelist kingdom and beyond, it's still pretty dark. There's stuff like Bandit Keith having his hand grow a revolver barrel to shoot him, Duke/Ryuji having a creepy abusive father, and Dark Marik skinning his father's back and draping it over Odeon/Rishid's body.
An snapping Panic's neck.
I love that you put the duelist of the roses music into this video, that game's music was awesome.
Reading this in 5th grade was an awesome way to get me into this series. My school library had the first 3 of these 3in1 mangas.
Look like the Yugioh is Dark.
Look like the Dark Magician and Shadow games aren’t the only the Dark thing about the series.
Well Yami does mean darkness
Well its actually Black Magician in original/japan, but change because u know...
@@lswarmruler well yeah because according to 4Kids, black magic doesn't exist. Neither do guns apparently.
How dare you play Duelist of The Roses music in the background. Now excuse me as i dig out my ps2.
I just enjoy and love rewatching this video non stop. I love how you explain the video.
