Everything Wrong with Yugioh Season 1 | Night Before

[@renatoramos8834]

6:35. Pegasus would wake up saying: Urgh, what a nightmare. I really need to stop drinking and listening to Spice Girls before sleep.

[@Mrryn]

1:41 Simple: Keith *wasn't* invited. He snuck onto the island and laid low, using Bonz and the other two goons to do his dirty work under the guise of being led by a genuine duel champion. Notice how he never is shown dueling, is chilling in a cave, and only shows himself once he takes out his lackies and steals their star chips and a glove for himself. Pegasus never bothered inviting him and presumably didn't care about him being there, probably just amused by the attempt at petty revenge. And iirc in the manga, Pegasus is aware of Keith being a cheater even during his US Title run which may be why he didn't give him an invite and also why he chose to humiliate Keith so thoroughly in their "duel."

[@mystery8820]

I heard in the original sub, Keith was invited, but was too drunk to notice the invite.

[@RC_ALB]

There's quite a bit of depth in the manga that we don't get in the anime. There are plotholes everywhere

Pegasus: I'm afraid you all have seen too much. I can't have people thinking I'm straight.

[@patrickswasey5301]

The camera lowering from Pegasus' wife to the Duelists basically emphasizes how similar Mai's design is to Cecilia. Which reminds me of how Mai being part of the master plan would have added so much. Beating Kaiba gets Pegasus Kaibacorp's resources, beating Yugi gets him the Puzzle and beating Mai would get him the perfect host body when he summoned Cecilia's soul from the afterlife. It would explain why a random 20-something woman got an invite to what was basically an all boys tournament and why the Big Five had Mai use their virtual world prototype. Pegasus was planning to go after her once he beat Yugi and the big Five would have held her captive in the meantime. And if you think this would be a stretch, something similar happened in Yugioh R with the main villian trying to revive Pegasus and putting him in Tea's body. And no, there's no explaination for why Tea.

[@NitPik-p3r]

Yooooo!!!! Is this in the manga or sub? Cause there’s actually something to that! Have you seen the mummy 1999? Kinda the same idea.

[@patrickswasey5301]

@@NitPik-p3r Yugioh R is a spin off manga that takes place between Battle City and the Millenium World arc. Written by Takahashi's assistant.

[@Eric6761]

I actually think it's an interesting plot although about the body Pegasus was already on that step, he wanted Kaibacorp because Kaiba's holograms would be the vessel to Cecilia with the only thing left being the Puzzle

[@SHADOMEGA7569]

You implying pegasus was going to use mai as a vessel for Cecilia? Cause that would be in line with all the dark Egyptian magic going on so far

[@RC_ALB]

Kaibacorps resources would be useless in such case. All kaiba has is money, aircrafts, and solid vision technology. Pegasus has money, doesn't need jets, and if we were to go with your theory, then he wouldn't even need Kaiba's solid vision tech either. Going after Kaiba would be pointless then.

[@jenshast1488]

They didn't have a big budget for matchups because most of the money was spent on the premium lighter fluid for Panik's flamethower duel arena.

[@NitPik-p3r]

Hahahaha

[@tsibaofthedollars2011]

They cared, but Joey probably remembered how badly Kaiba treated him and decided to enjoy Kaiba technically serving him for a bit lol

0:25 I love this foreshadowing of Cecilia and Shadi but why does Pegasus has a Shadi portrait?

[@NitPik-p3r]

I think it’s the people that impacted his life the most. That’s the only thing I can see in common.

[@NitPik-p3r]

I agree I love the foreshadowing when they see the painting of her in the tower

@@NitPik-p3r good point but it's weird having the portrait of the love of your life alongside a random guy who gave you powers

Very true

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

@@NitPik-p3rI think it’s more like “this man gave me a chance to see my love again, I must commemorate him” or in a later context, “this man protected me from the gods, and even if I didn’t listen, if not for him id have died” type of shiz in his head

[@_Vengeance_]

This is a case where the sub doesn't answer anything either. Pegasus just talks all chuuni that he's from a world they can't comprehend and that he'll show them that world, then within that world just yaps a bit about Shadow Games and reveals his Mind Scan ability by saying what Tristan and Tea are thinking, then he points to Bakura that he'll read his mind next only to discover he can't (apparantly the Ring blocks it yet the Puzzle doesn't, the Ring really is a deux ex machina), at which Yami Bakura just vaguely states he finally found it, then their powers clash (Bakura didn't wipe their memories out, Pegasus's power just ends from the clash and somehow returns everyoen to their bed causing them to think they just dreamt that all), and in bed Yami Bakura exclaims he finally found the Millennium Eye (I guess he was just chilling out in the Ring, not paying any attention when Kaiba vs Pegasus happened???)

[@NitPik-p3r]

So why isn’t Pegasus scared of Bakura in future episodes? Also in sub why doesn’t Bakura go after Pegasus immediately?

[@Eric6761]

​@@NitPik-p3rprobably because he wants a weakened Pegasus, after Yugi's duel with Pegasus the former was drained and tired so when he found him Bakura took him with relative easy

[@Cardlimits]

understandable we didn't go through yugi's turmoil with grandpa dream, but the point of that was more lore based and hint on the secret to beating pegasus and his millennium item....whiiich makes yugi and pharoah tunnel vision to overthink what will work against pegasus ignoring and simultaneously losing to Mai in the beginning. Dub made it like yugi was afraid of the pharoah not wanting his help, which I honestly prefer the former from the japanese dub, because it's a life lesson to think of the opponent now and instead of later, and not implying the idea that you were going to win before the game ends. Joey wake up fake out to bandit keith's stealing is abundantly the funniest thing I had from this show "HEY LET GO OF THAT" keith panics "that's my pizza"

[@shinkaiatsuya950]

The only reason I see Bakura waiting is after the duel Pegasus might be weak enough. Also you dont want evil Bakura at thanksgiving. Something tells me he might get too much of thrill eating a Juicy stake.

[@marcstutsman4861]

Might also be Bakura is waiting to see the outcome of the Pegasus and Yugi duel. If Pegasus wins he'll also have the puzzle, that's a 2 for one special for Bakura! Especially if Pegasus is tired from the shadow duel.

[@nebbynetwork2089]

Nice bit of chill time before the main event gets underway

[@DrRexie]

Not trying to be that kind of guy but do remember that when Pegasus did the VHS door with Yuki the rest of the party were frozen so they didn't see what happened they just probably was stuck motionless while at the door was being played and then when they came back yugi was crying because he lost his grandpa They're probably wondering like what the hell happened there

[@SHADOMEGA7569]

Literally they were watching the tape then it would of cut to static and all they would see is yugi hitting the tv yelling "GRANDPA" if that was the case which sounds funnier than it should be

[@DrRexie]

@SHADOMEGA7569 yeah I know they would have been like the fuck why you shouting your grandpa Yuki

3:18 Tea says she can't believe **Joey** of all people would actually eat the soup? What!?!? First of all, it's a completely clean and safe plastic eye that had a single purpose of carrying a piece of paper with a letter for duelists. YOU didn't even get 1, Tea. Second, it's freaking Joey your talking about. Joey would do a lot of random shit just because.

@@Eric6761 I mean, even with that, it's still freaking Joey. Even I would have the good sense to not question anything he does and just let him learn the hard way (but still help him when he needs it).

[@WarlockPhantom]

1:04, how did the trespassers become guests? Look at the kid with the pyramid necklace. Pegasus needs him, and so he listens to everything he says to keep him in the tournament.

[@RC_ALB]

Tbh the guy with the pyramid necklace has his old grandpa's soul on the line in this tournament. If Pegasus tells him his friends can't come, he's not throwing the tournament just for them.

[@WarlockPhantom]

@@RC_ALB I mean, realistically you're right. But we have to remember how Joey was allowed to board the boat in the beginning. Yugi essentially mad a play that almost completely threw the whole tournament just to bring Joey along, and the guard literally calls Pegasus to see what he says. And apparently Pegasus says, "Let him on. If Yugi wants him here, I want him here."

[@RC_ALB]

@@WarlockPhantom That was Pegasus being generous. Or simply not caring. Not that there was pressure on Yugi's part. I mean, had he said to send them off, what could Yugi do? Quit the tournament and abandon his grandpa?

[@WarlockPhantom]

@@RC_ALB I mean, that's also a valid way of looking at it. But Pegasus was supposed to be completely strict and deadset in his rules. The fact that the guards even NEEDED to call him means it was important enough that he did care. And the whole "being generous" point was exactly my point. Whatever Yugi says, Pegasus GENEROUSLY listens. But his true motivation was to keep him happy and thinking clearly enough to duel against his opponents and eventually duel against Pegasus himself. He NEEDED Yugi, afterall.

[@computernerd1101]

4:23 That still counts as cheating. Having magic powers does not exempt you from the rules of fair conduct.

[@NitPik-p3r]

Exactly! They could’ve just told us who was up against who and we’d of been fine with that

[@brimstoneclub]

My only beef with this episode (despite the many inconsistencies) is that, once again, we get literally *no* explanation AGAIN about Cecilia/Cynthia. This time, however, we also get Shadi. Note: Shadi is explained in season 0. He's the guardian of the Millennium Items, hence why he wears the Key seen in his portrait.

[@NitPik-p3r]

We get a hint about her. Before Pegasus enters the room Tea is questioning if she’s his wife Then when Pegasus is robbed he says the only power he hasn’t obtained is life over death.

[@brimstoneclub]

True, I forgot! Thanks :)

[@RC_ALB]

Cecilia is supposed to be this great plot twist, where in the end, it turns out that the big bad villain boss was just a desperate man in pursuit of love. Note when Bakura tells him before taking his Eye - "Who would have thought you even had a heart, let alone one so easily broken"

[@benjaminpeters6729]

I wonder if the closer you get to the cyndia painting, it starts to look like bowser.

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

Yes, Yami Bakura is magically stronger than Pegasus, because he's a spirit in his own right and inhabits a stronger Millennium Item. Not only can it track down all the others, but it can transplant souls and minds, no to mention that it always comes back to its host. When Pegasus loses his Millennium Eye, to my knowledge, he never gets it back.

[@RC_ALB]

Now that you mention it, Bakura's Ring has the ability to move souls around. Like when he put their souls into cards and his own soul into a puzzle piece. That paired with solid vision would work great. Solid vision creates a perfect replica of Cecilias body, and the Ring brings her soul back and into the new body. Why is he going after the Puzzle and not the Ring?

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

@@RC_ALB , probably because the Puzzle is, if you don't mind the pun, like the "one ring to rule them all." It's the chief Millennium Item.

[@TheDark4light]

Judging from how Tea remembers and how Yami Bakura not waits until Pegasus is weak, and how the pharoah was able to switch the bakura's souls without a struggle, I think its kind of implied that hes not as great at shadow games? At least not as strong as those two. Also we know Pegasus can steal souls without a duel, he did it to Mokuba. Pretty sure the whole duel is solely to claim ownership over the puzzle.... Because he's aware of the pharoah but Bakura wasnt....? Okay the more i try and explain this the more flaws I see. It made sense when i was a kid but now im just confused.

[@Mrryn]

In fairness the soul switch is just weird in general. Because we see it didn't actually work. The whole point of that game was if you die in the duel, your soul is claimed for real. Yet here's the evil spirit of the Ring, just popping up again with no real explanation. Not to mention Good Bakura possessing his own monster to keep the spirit from winning...that felt more just like penalty game magic from Atem, mirroring a legitimate Change of Heart by having the Good Bakura possess his body and the Evil Bakura taking his spot but it not being a genuine soul switch. The Items due require a genuine contest in Duel Monsters to win true ownership, a la the ancient stone tablet battles in the days of the original Shadow Games. It's why Battle City is conducted the way it is, rather than Yami Marik just shivving people on Kaiba's blimp. But then again Yami Bakura didn't duel Pegasus and still stole his eye, though Shadi was looking specifically for Yami Bakura because he knew someone was stealing Items without following protocol. Technically, Yugi would have claim on the Eye (and the Rod later along with Kaiba being the one with real claim over the Necklace until Yugi beats him).
