Yu-Gi-Oh! - Music to Duel By - I'm Back

Album : Yu-Gi-Oh! Music to Duel By
Track : 3
Title : I'm Back

[@BowBeforeJOW]

I remember this whole album came with a effin' happy meal. Its crazy looking back.

[@animeguardianxx]

IT DID?! I have to freaking buy my copy online...

[@chriscatalano9824]

Yeah...it did. I got mine from a damn happy meal as well 😂

[@robert23456789]

oh the good old days when we got good stuff from happy meals make me feel old lol

[@raptorlewis273]

Happy Meals came with a weird sample CD with some of these tracks on it. You had to buy the full album separately. That much I remember. I think the CD also had a weird yugioh game demo as well as info on each Millennium Item an Exodia that guarded incomplete or non-existent features. It even had tracks like One Card Short before the Pyramid of Light movie was released in English.

[@michaelaburns734]

I faintly remember that. My cousin had it. He was how I got in the game. 2 decades of experience of the game.

[@SuperrrCyborgFranky]

I was not expecting this to play in Dark Side of Dimensions. I still can't believe it got brought back

Gods stuff like this was what made anime in the early 2000’s so great and why so many people still like the dubs. It’s a lost art. Love the OST, but just about every time I watch a dub episode of any yugioh post-DM my mind immediately thinks of this old CD and how many remixes would fit the scene I’m watching so much better.

i still have this CD somewhere in my house. X)) the show's a little over dramatic looking back on it now, but i still think of it fondly nonetheless. great guitar solo at the end.

[@raptorlewis273]

Well....given the occult and the fact people's souls got stolen and folks murdered all around 7 Millennium Items made from the flesh, blood and bones of an entire village (Yes, all of this is canon to the original uncut/Japanese version and manga.) with the virtual reality literally causing health problems, and the fact this is an ancient war game, makes me think it's dramatic enough lmao. Trust me, 4kids is the one that gave it THAT reputation! Plus, it's a Shonen manga for adolescents which doesn't help with the character designs and how over-the-top it is 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@alignedlove6927]

@@raptorlewis273 The 4kids dub has almost the exact same edge to it as the sub/Manga, they kept in the stuff about the village of Kah-el'nar being destroyed. The only "reputation" the 4kids dub of Yugioh should be getting is that, well, it's great.

I think my step grandparents got me this CD along with a huge box of cards and stuff for Christmas, when I was like 9 and I used to sing this song with so much passion in my heart and soul like my own brother, er sister, had been kidnapped and my multimillion dollar company had been stolen. This whole CD slapped.

[@HistoryandReviews]

Slapped? NERD

[@zeddv4362]

Yugioh Ost is criminally underrated and the same goes for the show too.

[@MasterArchfiend]

The show is underrated? I guess from a more general Anime standpoint, but in the yugioh fandom DM nostalgia gets milked more than a dairy cow. It’s like every other set some years is just loaded with cards for Yugi, Kaiba or someone else. Sure there’s love for the other series, but it’s sandwiched between whatever DM era card got a retrain or support. Not to mention most of the expensive high end merchandise is almost always a DM monster or character. I don’t think it’s underrated in terms of the franchise. After all, chances are there will be at least ten more cards that are meant to directly support Dark Magician or Blue-Eyes before the year is done.

[@brodiger]

I Love the Electric Guitar in this song it's awesome

[@JoeManza]

This should also play if Jaden returned to Duel Academy to confront the Supreme King disguised as him.
