​@@smartboy201 I was even using that moment to explain to my dad about this. Given the card game lore is different from the anime universe (or is it multiverse?) lore.

[@smartboy201]

@@LittleAl016It's this weird situation where you have individual card-lore, different from anime-card-lore, different from set-lore/anime-set lore, different from _deck-set-lore/anime-deck-set-lore..._ And that's not even taking into account stuff like the actual _STORIES_ like "Goblin of Greed" has, where you learn everything in the span of 30 or so cards about this _one goblin._ And now, if this IS AN ANIME, we'll have "card-anime-card-lore" in the rotation. As in, Anime of the YuGiOh franchise (made of cards), specifically about those individual cards, rather than the characters that play them...

Ever since I first saw _“with the eyes of Blue”_ monsters in Duel Links while playing as DSOD Kaiba I was always curious wondering what it would be like to explore the Blue Eyes world. All the other monsters are interesting as well. Now it all makes sense why Konami has invested so much time in polishing Duel Links and also creating Master Duel's Solo Mode. It's all connected in a way, most likely with the upcoming VR project they are working on (which I hope people don't end up severely addicted to it, that doesn't sound healthy for society).
