Very easy to see why Marik was terrified to see him still alive and able to move after that. You can't win at this point normally but you can at least get one through the shadow game with all of the punishment that's led up to this. After all, nobody could survive let alone stay sane after experiencing the full power of the immortal phoenix. He put up a good fight but ultimately willpower can only take you so far. You revel in his agony as his soul burns away to nothing. His monster is destroyed and surely all that will be left is a corpse. But the worst possible thing has happened, you find as the smoke clears. He's still standing. He can move. You're defenseless.

You basically need to be exceptional in some way ( Yugi, Bakura, Shadi, Ishizu) or you need to be borderline ,if not outright ,insane (Marik with his split personality, Pegasus with his desperation to resurrect his fiancè )

From what the manga says Bakura's dad is still alive in the manga and the Dark Side of Dimensions movie, but Bakura lives away from him, since chapter 320 says he owns the Domino City Museum and Yami Bakura uses that as the way to set up the Shadow RPG.

[@buddyzilla4557]

Yes. The Dark side of Dimentions movie was on crack when it comes to continuity. It was supposed to be a sequal to the manga but everything points to it being in the animeverse. The monster dimention stuff was not in the manga. That was introduced in the Waking the Dragons filler and they kind kf just ran woth it from then on. It became a big part of series like GX and 5 ds but in the manga there were no alternate dimentions like that. There were no magic prodgidy kids creating magic utopias. There was alchemy and dark magic. Demons and good spirits. Afterlife realms but not parallel timelines, places souls went. The monsters were actually the manifestations of people's souls when using alchemy to manifest them. Shadi was actually a spirit or angel that made a promise to protect Atem. His father gave his life in prayer for the protection when he learned the dark truth about the millenium items. Shadi sadly messed up however. Atem sacrificed himself, binding his and Zorcs souls in the pendent ( what would become the puzzel) and thus Shadi was stuck on earth. He had not completed his part of the deal so he was earthbound until Atem was properly guided to the pharonic afterlife. He takes multiple forms including Babosa and Hasan during this. He WAS NOT a living man in the late 80s/early 90s. Bakura did NOT kill him. Bakura was not even with his father when he got the ring. They made all thsi nonsense up for the movie. It can make sense for the anime timeline but it conflicts with pretty much everything in the manga timeline. I LOVE Sazuki Takahashi (RIP) and his story crafting but he REALLY just went insane or sold out with this one because it doesn't work with his original story at all. It really has the stench of big production company wanting the anime fans to feel most comfortable while selling the gimik of it being a manga sequal.

[@Leopoldshark]

Manga Honorable mentions: -In Season 0 and Shadi's first appearance, the curator of the museum Kanemoto asked Yugi to borrow the Millennium Puzzle for his exhibit. He however made a backdoor deal to sell it instead of returning it to Yugi. Shadi comes and judges him with the Millennium Scales. The greed in Kanemoto's heart makes Ammat appear and devour his soul, making Kanemoto die of a heart attack. -Bandit Keith playing Russian Roulette with his own finger and losing due to Pegasus' punishment -Gozaburo's suicide in the manga is shown, with Gozaburo saying this is a final lesson to Seto about what happens to losers. -Also that one Pegasus security guy that is "eaten" by Man Eater Bug. Mahad's "death" in the Millennium World arc is pretty gruesome too. He gets killed by one of the swinging axe traps, even if it isn't shown.

Carly's death before becoming a dark signer in 5ds is quite brutal as well, if you wanted to do another video including non-dm moments

[@MatthewRatburg]

Marick’s dad deserved his fate more than any other character in the franchise

[@solarixstar]

In 5ds Kiryu Kyosuke/Kalin Kessler died of starvation. His death was SO HARROWING he came back as a revenant who only wished for death and revenge. To die from starvation you must slowly lose all energy and nutrients in your body. This process must have took months and the guards put in charge of keeping him ALIVE stood by and purposefully withheld his food. Proof of just how low people feel about those from Satellite. EDIT: oh just the original huh? Guess I misunderstood the promt my bad. From the original I gotta go with Joey vs Marrik. That shit stuck with me throughout the years as a kiddo.

[@stefssj1291]

I knew it was gonna be dark but I didn't know it was gonna be THIS DARK

[@michaeldaniels642]

Considering in the manga we see Bonz's body on the ground as Bakura walks away the ring most likely just removed their souls from their bodies and maybe sent them to hell.

[@WraShadow]

Aki's brother being tortured with shock and eventually electrocuted may not be the most visceral death but it is, to me, by far, the most unnerving.

[@MrDarksol]

All of those deaths just brought me back to me thinking as a kid there's gotta be something a little bit deeper to this and I was right in the Japanese version all these deaths were super duper worse. Even the 1st one which still terrifies me even after knowing it but thank God you kicked it off with something light and something that was a nice death for once lol. Wouldn't mind watching this type of video for the other yugioh seasons TGS!

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Amazing video of brutal deaths in the original yugioh anime series, fantastic job on the video.

There was actually a second survivor of Kul Elna in the Yugioh GX Manga, who eventually became Tragoedia.

[@jsanto210]

So I love the video up until 8:52, I don't know how new you are to Yu-Gi-Oh sir, but that flaming phoenix is the indisputable Mega Ultra Chicken, and quite frankly I am appalled that you did not recognize that

[@Netherwolf6100]

I would put Joey at number 3 at least because of how much pain he endured and how his death felt so damn wrong man. I swear it felt like it was Joey who was supposed to beat Marik but the editors forced the creator to change it at the last second.

[@brandoncastellano1858]

Imagine if Joey stayed dead.

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

I wouldn't say that Joey was supposed to beat Marik, as it wouldn't have been right for him to be the one to win due to plot reasons. I feel like the thought that Joey was "supposed to" win against Marik was more than anything people wanting to see him win, which is a very popular line of thought. I never personally thought there was any way Joey could've won his duel, since it was very clear they were building up to Yugi versus Marik as the final showdown of the arc, so having Joey win that duel would've likely screwed everything up. A big part of the reason I believe this is because Joey would claim possession of the Winged Dragon of Ra, Marik's Egyptian God card, which Joey most likely wouldn't have been able to use in his own deck; if he could, it would've likely been at the very least hinted at that he had that kind of potential, but that never came to be

In the original show Bakura's father never died, he was in Egypt and came across a man who was selling the Millennium Ring. He bought it and ended up giving it to Bakura when he got back from his trip

Fun fact: Odion offered himself to take Marks place on the ritual. But his father denies.

how could one anime be so traumatizing yet so fucking awesome bro

You didn't talk about bandit keith death but that probably because that was change between the anime and the manga. His death was apparently so brutal that the anime did rework it.

Honestly, if we talk about the manga then Bandit Keith, Pegasus, and plenty from season 0 would make it into the list

Love how in Battle City, Joey really wanted to play Marik and got to play a “Marik” twice, but neither was the guy that tormented him and his friends. The first match he really lost but won due to plot nonsense. The second match he really won but lost due to plot nonsense.

He resurected Minutes later

[@FunGuy635]

3:22 “backfires” is an understatement. It’s more like their plan went into a combination of Fubar and snafu. 😂

[@jorgecarrillo1044]

Outside of DM, there are several other noteworthy incidents in the spin offs. With GX, there was technically Hell Kaiser death through heart attack. Even as a kid watching the dub, the internal shot of his heart was unnerving. 5ds may have the causality of any yugioh show. With the zero reverse incident, the bad timeline 2nd zero reverse. How the dark signer met their initial end. Bomber being hanged by spiderweb, Carly falling to her death, Kallin starving to death and so on. Zexal, similar to Dartz and his henchman. Don Thousand gather his followers through similar means. But otherwise Zexal isn’t as brutal in my opinion. Even when the side character were sent to Barian world in the final arc. Arc V….the universe restarted twice. And three of Yu boys and three of the bracelet girls could be consider gone. Vrains, aside Dr. Kogami, revolver father and the biggest dumbass I have ever seen. And maybe the Ignises, Robopoppy and other AI based characters. Nothing too noteworthy. Meanwhile Sevens and Go Rush are just wacky hi jink and nothing serious at all. That’s not a bad thing, I’m just mentioning it.

[@soukenmarufwt5224]

Are you going to ignore Jaden (as Supreme King) killed so many people (and duel spirits) and was just used as fodder to create Super Poly. Or the fact before Supreme King fiasco, Dark World fiends were hunting down and killing/imprisoning people

[@ReederMG]

Any time someone says Yu-Gi-Oh is a children's show has no idea

[@petersimpson4648]

What confuses me is that, in the manga, Bakura says that his father returned from Egypt with the Millennium Ring as a gift. Was his memory altered? If so, didn't he notice his father was gone?

[@davidvasquez08]

Probably the trauma he experienced probably subconsciously denied what happened that night

[@petersimpson4648]

But, once again, wouldn't he notice his father was gone? Another comment even says that his father was alive, but lived in a separate location, so I can't imagine them suddenly losing contact and Bakura just ignoring that fact.

[@davidvasquez08]

@@petersimpson4648 true, but that’s probably down to oversight from the writers

[@st8ofmind325]

@@st8ofmind325 Yes, but I still have trouble believing that Bakura wouldn't, down the line, start to question his memories, or have someone who didn't witness the event ask him about his father's disappearance. Even if these things happened "offscreen", it would be nice to have confirmation.

One of my favourite jokes from the Abridged Series is when the Noah Arc starts, Noah threatens the cast, telling them to leave the Kaiba Blimp while arming a bunch of gun turrets. Kaiba then mockingly asks if the turrets fire magical bullets that will send them to the Shadow Realm, only for the turrets to fire *actual bullets*

[@krakenskull2557]

Yes please do more of these for the rest of the series, I really liked this video...

Well the Japanese version of the anime and the manga are aimed mainly at teenage audiences. Even the OCG is confirmed for teen players as stated on the back of every pack and set.
