The funny or sad (depending on how you look at it) thing is that this is LITERALLY half the plot of the last season.

He also referrers to himself as the Gayest Man alive, despite possibly not knowing what Gay actually meant.

Also banner is a alchemist who made a homunculus body that falls apart after one duel so he hangs out as a ghost that's constantly getting eaten by his cat and in aformentioned duel, jaden debuts a fusion monster he uses all of three times because it sucks and after Banner dies, Jaden gets a Philosopher's Stone spell card (which banner was using as a bookmark in his Emerald Tablet which in this case was a book Banner was trapping everyone he defeats as a Shadow Rider in and it's his Shadow Charm) he uses all of once.

Yup, how most shows went for me as a kid with no cable too 😂 or when we had cable it be a few months and shows i return to things are seriously different and a bunch of weird stuff happened. For example in icarly they were all just friends and then suddenly freddy is dating sam and they got kidnapped for some reason and everything spencer makes catches on fire. Or for the avatar, aang was still searching for teachers then come back and he having nightmares about firelord ozai and is friends with zuko then suddenly there is airships and sokka may have accidentally murdered like 1k worth of men and aang took firelord ozais powers and he kissed katara who last i saw was pining for jet. And a ghost panda happened somewhere in there. But for the most part rarely had cable so i missed out on what happened in first yugioh, watched the start a lil bit and the whole pegasus thing and next thing i know we in yugioh zexal and then the one with motorcycles. But man i thought normal yugioh got weird with the forced puberty and the pharoh in me part and the battling to keep one soul, but this does sound extra crazy.

[@brennantmi5063]

She did not just die she wagered her soul on Illusion Gate, a card that destroys all your opponents cards and then let you summon any card you want at the cost of you have to wager someone in the rooms soul so if you lose after playing Illusion gate that person has to go to hell. She beat Zane by wagering his brothers soul causing him to avoid winning to not send his brother to hell, but when she dueled Jaden he had been given half rock from the irl card Gravekeepers Assalient come to life (she was pretty hot) and the other half of the rock from the primary antagonist of season four that when combined protected Jaden and his friends from being wagered and then the rock was never seen or used again. Since she still wanted to play Illusion Gate despite Jaden and his friends being off limits she arrogantly wagered her own soul to pay the "cost" thinking she could win since she spied on Jaden to know every card in his deck however he plays a new never before seen monster to turn the tables and she claims he cheated but he just says he thought the monster would be good against her and added it to his deck before the duel and she had no counter play for it and loses and goes to hell.

Jaden has existential crisis, meets with spaceman, and the cult is defeated. Third season: Jaden gets a new bestie. Old bestie is not happy and tries to get Jaden all for them selves by removing everyone Jaden loves from his life. Oh and if you lose a duel you either become a zombie or die. Fourth season: Darkness incarnate threatens to destroy the world. Jaden is on a "I don't give a fuck anymore"-spree and no longer duels for fun. But with the help of season 2 spaceman and session 3 old bestie (and a season 3 alternate genocide personally) they defeat the darkness. Jaden goes back in time, fights old protaganist. Jaden learnes to duel for fun again. Outcome is left ambiguous, but we can all guess how it ended.

Let’s not forget you and all your friends get trapped in another dimension that’s essentially hell, and Zane gets a heart attack because he became a masochist.

Also a time traveler from a dystopian future tells you to follow him into the past so you can team up to fight masked maniac from a post-apocalyptic future who wants to destroy children’s card games, and who accomplishes this task by committing a terrorist attack in domino city and destroying Venice with a giant dragon.

Crowler: Also this is Jesse, you're gonna be super obsess with finding him to the point where you let your own friends die in the process. People will draw so many ship pics of you two kissing. Jaden: Wha...wait, But I'm not gay Crowler: Not yet you aren't

This is Harry Potter if Dumbledoor was honest.

*and with a respectable protagonist. And not created by monomaniacs.

Ngl, the multiple random bites on Syrus during all the incoherent exposition pretty much broke me. 🤣

The danganronpa music all throught the "normal" parts really makes this special for me

In watching some of GX I think the bizarrest aspect is that no one seems to be phased by duel spirit, the out of place monsters in the world, traveling to the stars... the original series had everyone in shock and awe over anything that happened :P

[@christopherb501]

If it helps, the current show has more credulity. It would kind of have to, with cat-people that are conflict-avoidant, 3-meter-tall women that are work-avoidant, floating hats that duel by just waving a deckbox at each other and then knowing who will win thru precognition, and Jersey Devil aliens from a Planet Jersey that are always dressed in jerseys. Also an immortal boy-king that turns whole planets to ice because he's that bad a mangaka.

I will always repeat it: Season 4 of GX was wild imagine a school student body isekai into a dark wasteland survival story as zombies plague spread thru everyone with the landmarks being the transported academia school frounds with the limited food resources and nothing. To then escape only to return to find that the isekai was actually a demonic ritual that summoned denizons across dimensions to use as sacrifice including humans, super humans, harpies, etc that feature in the card game. The best part is very person across dimensions are all similtaneously experiencing their own isekai survival narrative as everyone must traverse this vast barren land. Tags: isekai, zombie, survival, battle royal I need a series that does this without card games closest one i found is a manga: Mazumeshi Elf
