writing manga-only yugioh fanfiction but throwing in like one line that implies capsule monsters is sort of canon and never mentioning it again

Yu-Gi-Oh! series will collaborate with Animate Cafe with originally illustrated mini protagonists alongside the normal-sized one from this link. There's even drinks named after the attack of their ace monsters!

Recently i decided to search for more interviews about Yugioh in Japanese, and found one that's really enlightening... and also kinda wild

It's with a man called Yoshiro Kataoka, who worked for quite a few TV stations, especially in anime production. The interview is separated in different topics... including one about his work on the second Yu-Gi-oh adaptation, Duel Monsters

I'll be explaining some of what it said here. Note that i translated it with Google Translate, so I'll be warning that it might be somewhat inaccurate:

It starts with him talking about Japanese TV stations, highlighting TV Asahi, where the Toei Yugioh anime (Season 0) was broadcasted on before getting cancelled, because it wasn't getting good ratings. Then, he explains that, one day, Kazuhiko Torishima (at that time editor in chief of Shonen Jump, well known for being Akira Toriyama's editor for a good while) came in and said: "The Yu-Gi-Oh! anime is ending, but the Jump surveys are doing great, so it's unthinkable to stop the anime broadcast at this time. So, I don't care what you do, Kataoka, please make it into an anime and broadcast it" It was proposed to try to make an new show to air on TV Tokyo, since they could get Konami and Bandai to sponsor it...the problem was that TV Asahi and Toei Animation had the rights to rebroadcast and use Yugioh at that moment, so this wouldn't be allowed. Torishima told Kataoka to go get a time slot with TV Tokyo while he dealt with the rest. He went to talk to Toei, they obviously refused.... Then, Torishima aparently said "Are you sure you want to say that to me? I could halt all the secondary rights for Dragon Ball." He also threatened TV Asahi, saying that they would pull the plug in popular adaptations of Shueisha series of that time, like Jigoku Sensei Nube.... And aparently that's how Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters was born!

Torishima is known for being a little dramatic, so maybe this could be slightly exagerated? But i imagine it's probably a little true at least, and if so, this explains a lot how a second adaptation happened so soon, and also why Season 0 is in such a weird legal limbo....

It was also nice to get official confirmation that Season 0 got cancelled? I don't find a lot of interviews even talking about it, but here, Kataoka speculates that they started adapting it too soon, as it only got really popular with readers on Duelist Kingdom

There's some other cool things in that interview, like Kazuki Takahashi initially having rather negative opinions on Yugi's VA on Duel Monsters, and other things not related to Yugioh, but this is what i have for today!

if the intended distinction between puzzleshipping and blindshipping is NOT that puzzleshipping involves body sharing and blindshipping involves them with two separate bodies…then why do no other ships have separate ship names when involving yami yugi vs atem? why only when it’s with yugi? is there any other reason for there to be two tags specifically with them??? because i sure can’t think of anything

[seekerbr]

So.... it's kinda complicated?

If you go to really old lists of the ship names, like this one from Deviantart, you can see that there are a few other ship names that are for a character paired up with Atem specifically (Seto Kaiba with Atem is Timeshipping, Jounouchi/Joey with Atem is Selfshipping)

The thing is, in general the really early days of the fandom (like, 2001-2009?) liked to either have really specific variants of the ship names for searching purpouses, or treat the different variants of a character as if they were different people, so Atem and Yami Yugi got different ship names

(you can see this WAY down in that same list, as there is a separate version of the Jounouchi/Yugi ship names for the version of Jounouchi that got possesed by Malik in Battle City, Yujoshipping)

Over time people started to think this was unnecessary, so the alternate names for ship names started being used less (you can see this on the shipping masterlist here on Tumblr, that started out in 2013 but got updated for some 10 years after that. They use the Yami/Kaiba ship name as the default as it's the more popular, and then Timeshipping is considered an alternate for that ship name, even if it almost never gets used anymore)

Why did Blindshipping still continued being used for Atem/Yugi in particular though? I honestly don't know

I don't believe these were used for whenever Atem/Yami Yugi had a body or not in the past, specially because older fanfics were commonly giving him and Yami Bakura a body anyway. It could be used to separate fics with a body vs him sharing his body with Yugi, but that would be an new development
