You should see the manga version. That time with the vodka, instead of an illusion, he actually lit himself on fire, Yugi made a guy constantly hear his heartbeat, but magnified. Yugi put Kaiba in a coma, he made someone get stung by a small scorpion. The anime is tame compared to the manga.

[@GuyDude-hk8uy]

Ironically, the show takes a much darker twist if you imagine the puzzle never even being solved. Yugi is just a worthless wimp who gets beat up and robbed all the time, and Anzu doesn't respect him whatsoever who likely hangs around with him out of pity, to make herself feel like a "good person" or something. I dunno, that's as dark if not darker than the penalties Yami inflicts on his opponents. Those punishments are mostly physical (manifested as illusions of the mind, but still physical/real to those experiencing them) whereas Yugi's story sans puzzle is *real* psychological torture (so an inversion of the usual penalties, if you get what I mean).

[@nelsondestefano4150]

It’s an interesting question, early yugioh has its roots in horror, particularly, at least in my opinion, mid 20th century horror comics (ec, og tales from the crypt, that kind of stuff). Those stories tend to feature central characters who are unrepentant assholes who meet their comeuppance at the end of the story, usually fatal through some supernatural means. These early yugioh one off villains are usually people who either use physical strength or societal position to be absolute pieces of shit to everyone around them, at thusly get their due at the hands of yami. I think the answer to your question is a little anticlimactic though. A good person, or even just a person who isn’t a massive jerk would never even play in a shadow game against yami because they wouldn’t get into the situation we’re such an event would trigger in the first place, simply because of personality.

[@kindlingking]

Depends on how you look at games of darkness. With their original implementation, I think, regardless of who loses nothing will happen, but with the way they presented later on the punishment for the loser is mandatory and is chosen by the initiator of the game, so regardless of your good heart you will suffer if millennium item holder decides to up the stakes

[@lunar_proxy]

a good person wouldn't be in a situation where they'd play a shadow game against yami because yami never plays shadow games against people who hasn't wronged him/yugi/his friends. but even so, since yami is the one in control/host of the game, he could probably just tone down, or even cancel the punishment 💀

I found more interesting fact. In Doraemon the Movie: Nobita and The Legend of the King of the Sun, Prince Tio(his face looks exactly same as Nobita Nobi) is the voice of Megumi Ogata. Which is a unique coincidence that she's the role as the king(he's prince at first) from the past time.

[@theamazingkaleb3077]

now all we need is the English Viz Media dub with Erica Mendez as Dark Yugi since Megumi Ogata is also the voice of season 0 dark yugi.

[@acetrainerj3277]

I'd watch the hell out of that

[@025698able]

Esa seiyuu me gusta su nivel de seriedad... para un remake de esta obra maestra, al menos como un gran homenaje a kazuki takahashi en anime desde 3l.principio y con megumi ogata en la piel de yugi mutou

[@minatoson5788]

I love the way they colored Yami's eyes in this series, it's so damn fascinating. Also, I will admit I've never watched the 2000 version in sub, but I like this Yami's voice better, there's just something there the 2000's version didn't have.

[@samuelaavila8285]

So you're telling me that yuugi used to straight up have a game-based domain expansion or CRACKED genjutsu powers?

[@zamaskowany12]

He didn't lose those powers. Every millenium item posseses the power to start a Shadow Game where monsters and pain become reality.

[@andrew08]

The original idea is so unique. It's dark like a horror story, but we're rooting for the monster

Look what they took from us. Megumi Otaga was yami's voice actor. She was perfect!

[@raerohan4241]

Fun fact: the shadow realm was made up for censorship. Originally, they straight-up died. Same with the "punishments" in season 0 - in the anime, they're illusions. But in the manga, they happen for real. Because yugioh was originally of the horror genre

Kind of insane to think about this show and the difference in characters. Nevermind the obvious difference of why Kaiba’s hair is green instead of brown, (which you gotta wonder if Noah was a subtle reference to this older design) I’m talking about the Pharaoh going from a relatively mild albeit passionate gamer with a protective streak in the main series to an out and out PSYCHOPATH in season 0. Like seriously, this dude is TERRIFYING 😂

This is the COOL ass Yugioh I remember, the one where when Yugi transforms he just becomes this sadistic game obsessed master of mindfuckery. I’m guessing this adapts the early parts of the manga before Duel Monsters was the main focus…

[@Shayanzass]

I like how kaiba trying to kill himself was what made Yugi not want to work with Yami, but him murdering liek 30 people was finei

[@yukijudai8827]

Okay real talk on the first episode, not only did Yugi not shuffle the deck in front of Ushio he also didn't let his opponent cut the deck. If I were Ushio I would also be a "sore loser" and call cheats lmao.

[@IbrahimIbrahim-vu3zb]

Fun fact: that voice actor of Ushio sounds like the voice actor of Sir Crocodile from One Piece

[@MarikoKusumi]

To be fair, Ushio got better and became a police officer in 5D's.

[@redshepherd32]

The thing that makes me wonder. Did yami stack that deck in order of the card suites? So when he slide down laying the cards he would know where to grab high values?

46:25 Yugi spreads the wisdom of the Yo-yo Man.

[@NoName-vk1li]

Ok how much memory do the 2 yugis share? Lil yugi has no recollections of dark yugis shenanigans but dark yugi seems to have the same memory as yugi(he remembers grandpa's advice and calls him grandpa out of instinct and treats all his friends with the same respect normal yugi has for them), lil yugi's feelings affected him midgame when he faced shadi and everytime he comes out he already knows wtf going on and get revenge

[@akaneriyun4774]

Prior to Yugi accepting Atem as part of his life, he blacked out completely and was, therefore, unable to see anything Atem did in his body. The reverse is not true, however. Atem had full access to Yugi's memories and feelings even when he's not actively controlling his host's body. What this meant though is Atem is more susceptible to little Yugi's influence; since he sees, feels, and interacts with everything Yugi had done and is doing. Atem's punishments and methods for his games change quite remarkably throughout the season as a result. In episode 1, he straightup throws a guy out of a building for beating up his friends while later villains get away with lighter punishments and experience fairer games.

This is so much more interesting than all the typical yughio stuff that I never got into. This feels more like a show about exorcisms through various games if anything, lol.

[@tiki-nagasvoice7919]

God I've always wondered what exactly Season 0 looked like, couldn't find it anywhere. I have one volume of the manga (the first one I think, the one with the lighter, splitting a dice in half, and the nitroglycerin in ice "game"), but I never saw the actual season 0. Man, where is the box set so I can own this??

[@safabekr]

I’m surprised- you’re not the first person to ask about the box set! Personally I’ve always watched it through KZbin (there was even an 11.5 hour upload of the entire show for a while, but I think that was taken down.) I’m not sure if box sets are available anymore because if Toei Animation has really chosen to upload it all to the Internet Archive for free, and that’s not just someone pretending to be them, it means they’re no longer interested in making money off it. We can hope!

[@AnotherGeek....]

I saw a box sett once online but it looked very shady so I kever bought it. I used illegal pirates websites to watch season 0, and own all manga of season 0. In the manga there is more stuff that the anime didnt adapted from the manga
