Reasons why the first virtual world arc is the best arc in all of Yu-Gi-Oh
Mokuba realizing he’s about to get kidnapped again and going “FUCK THAT”
Yugi being the one in control for the majority of it and actually getting to do some pretty badass stuff
“Hey, Mokuba, looks like that fairy turned you into a girl!” “Great, can it make you smarter?”
Seriously though Mokuba is a fucking SAVAGE in this entire thing
He also kicks a lot of butt earlier on, summoning monsters as much as everyone else
MAI IS THERE, and she’s one of the heroes, and she basically is on equal footing with Kaiba, Joey and Atem/Yugi at the end there - which she NEVER is at any other point in the show
Mai telling Yugi that he looks great in his armor (but in like a supportive way, not a creepy way)
Mai rolling with the whole ‘heroes’ thing and acting chill about it, but not being all egotistical about it and generally just being the best person in this entire show for like… three episodes
That one asshole who held Kaiba captive: Now we have both brothers! Mokuba: BITCH YOU THOUGHT *easily frees his brother*
Yugi watches a fairy die and basically goes “fuck this I’m out kill them Yami”
BUT UP UNTIL THEN, like I said, he’s the one who does all the fighting; they could’ve had Atem be the one in control the whole time but they didn’t
Mai summoning her harpy ladies, only to find out that they can only summon dragons, and STILL managing to keep her cool and roll with it
(In case you couldn’t tell I love Mai a lot)
Atem grabbing both Mai and Joey’s hands when they’re brought back by the Mystical Elf (I don’t know why this made me so happy)
Kaiba and Mokuba hugging is always good
Mokuba is the real MVP and he proves it again and again, mostly by shoving his brother out of the way while Kaiba was being an IDIOT
Mai, coming out of her virtual pod and yawning like she does this stuff every day
Things that were not so good
Having to watch the Mystical Elf speak with the princess’s voice
The aCCENT THEY GAVE THAT ONE OLD GUY WHAT WERE THEY THINKING
