The ENTIRE Lore of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters!

[@rexxxyFN]

mokuba is the most kidnapped person in all of yugioh anime history

[@robertmiller3529]

This is because it's the fastest way to get Seto to cooperate and duel

[@yummytea19]

Being kidnapped is a valid personality trait

[@ToasterTruth]

I mean, what else are you supposed to do?

[@TactlessC]

Dark Side of Dimensions is intentionally based on the manga version because in the manga Kaiba didn't watch the Ceremonial Duel and more readily accepted magic due to literally impossible to ignore events and plot points involving him acknowledging it like the fact the Duel Disk was originally created to attempt to keep Pegasus from reading his mind via distance.

[@remrad4315]

That's why he made the duel disk? That's actually really interesting lore.

[@naos8116]

​@@remrad4315 Would that imply Pegasus and Seto dueled before? I'm not sure how he'd have any knowledge of what Pegasus can do.

[@remrad4315]

@naos8116 they dueled in the duelist kingdom. He had the prototype that Pegasus didn't want to use because of the fact his mind reading had some sort of distance, I guess. He probably secretly bought into the magic thing (that or maybe he thinks cameras) but yeah idk. Makes sense to me though.

[@naos8116]

@@remrad4315 Oh yeah, forgot the exact sequence of events. His constant denial of magic seems like a dub thing. While he did deny it at first, he seemingly accepted it in the manga because so much stuff happened he can't explain.

[@Realdeal958]

It's so weird to me seeing that he wasn't even in the Dawn Of the Duel arc in the manga. He felt natural in the anime. I haven't read the manga but I think I will sometime just to see all the differences

He's a teenager.

[@kylajensen1957]

Hes sixteen in the Japanese version and 18 in the dub, and Mokuba is 5 years younger than him in either version

I always assumed that Mokuba, like Yugi and Solomon, is just incredibly short

[@dunit4472]

You shoulda rewatched the series man

[@aspenve]

Loved watching this, though you got some things wrong about the original reign of Pharaoh Atem. He had no control of the Egyptian Gods originally and he also didn't defeat Zorc, thats why he sealed Zorc and the Thief King into the Millenium Ring, sacrificing himself and his name in order to lock them away. In the world of memories things are different due to his modern world experiences and friends. Also Thief King is nameless. His name isn't Bakura, they only call him that because that's what they've gotten used to from Bakura hosting the evil spirit. The evil spirit says in season 1 "I'm not Bakura" and it's obvious how the name "Bakura" would stick out when everyone else's name in the ancient egypt arc has arab origins. Also, sidenote, Marik (and also Odion) isn't tattooed, the scripture is etched into his skin with a heated blade. But I'm a huge Yugioh nerd and don't expect anyone to look that deeply into it haha! Again, great video!

[@ImNotEpix]

mhm i was thinking of this too! although in the 4kids dub it is just a tattoo lol 😭

[@Youngbloodking21]

Pyramid of light fits in pretty well tbh right after Battle City

[@Picklei]

That's when its meant to be set, the issue is Season 4 happens almost immediately after Season 3, leaving really no time for the movie. Also I know this is just nitpicking but we never see Blue Eyes Shining Dragon in the anime in Season 4 or 5

​​@@knivez786I believe Pyramid of Light happened after the Grand Championship arc, because on Waking the dragons,Kaiba acted like it was the first time he saw Pegasus since Duelist Kingdome, and in the Pyramid of Light he took his meeting and duel with Pegasus in a more casual way

[@BLKW4RDR3M0N]

You know what would've been a wild twist? If Gozoburo Kaiba was actually Dartz all along even during the adoption and him showing up at the orphanage was just a ploy because he noticed a boy there bore a striking resemblance and soul to the priest Seto.

The pharoah wasn't the one who created the millineum items. It was the pharoahs brother.

[@OmegaChase1002]

I like how Siegfried's duel box idea is a direct callback to the early manga chapters depiction of the card game.

[@MrBthomp]

This makes me wonder how important dual monsters are in the Yu-Gi-Oh universe. Every series has a couple secret organizations that if they accomplish their goal, they would alter the balance of power in their time for themselves , and they're using dual monsters to accomplish this. At the same time, children are playing the same game for no stakes. It's like giving a kid, a nuclear bomb and saying go have fun. Except they don't know that it's a nuclear bomb.

[@scorpioninpink]

The first Yu-Gi-Oh can only be described as EPIC. I just recently rewatched it and I felt like a child again.

I think Atem didn't originally fused the gods 5000 years ago, that's why he needed to seal Zorc instead, as we see that when he does fuse them after relearning his name during the dark RPG arc the fused being, the creator of light, was able to completely destroy Zorc

[@yukikimura8204]

3:24 Idc if the arc was filler and probably not canon, this was a cool shot of Dartz being there in Egypt. Also it was kinda cool how they gave a glimpse of what the final arc was gonna be like and the way they connected a filler arc a bit to the actual timeline.

The whole Dartz/Atlantis arc was so fun to watch yet the lore behind it feels so out of place and just shoved in compared to the rest of YuGiOh Duel Monsters

[@Picklei]

Its so fun to watch but its also; "Oh Pharoah you're five thousand years old... well Im TEN THOUSAND YEARS OLD AHA!" I admire that the arc stuck to it's guns and focussed on big cool dramatic moments rather than try to make everything make perfect sense. It's Yu-Gi-Oh! after all.

[@pockylovingranger]

Well, it was an anime exclusive arc, along with the Kaiba Corp GP to give the production team enough time to work on the final arc

Wanna know what I realized that they didn’t talk about in the series is that Kaiba is actually Egyptian he has a strong Egyptian family. He doesn’t know this because he was adopted that’s why he’s able to summon obelisk in the movie when it was clearly locked away, and the fact that he could control obelisk so easily in the English dub. Because they said, and you can mistake me if I’m wrong only people have ties to Egypt can control the Egyptian gods.

I think for me the scariest part of the series wasn’t all the bad things that happened but when Atem uses the seal of oricalcus and then proceeds to nearly kill Weevil. Watching Atem repeatedly attack Weevil was downright terrifying for me. And based off the animation you can tellhe Atem was raging without Yugi being there to calm him down.

[@leociresi4292]

@@wateriver True, To his defense, Atem activated the Seal because he was trying to win the duel, and had no other alternative, re instantly regretted it once Yugi appeared and shoved Atem out and took his place. I don’t feel too bad for Weevil, after all, he threw Yugi’s five pieces of Exodia into the ocean, and in Waking the Dragons, he Fools Atem into thinking a simple rare Weevil owns would help him rescue Yugi’s soul, only to tear it up going, ‘oops! Sorry, it was just a useless bug card,’ Weevil totally deserved the multi attacks. Tea finally calms Atem down, saying it wasn’t worth it
