This scene shows how Yami and Yuugi don't really see themselves as separate from each other. They both know that the other is an independent entity but they also are so entwined with each other, in spirit and flesh, that they just bleed into each other. The line where one stops and the other beings is at times blurred to the point where acknowledging them as a singular being is not out of the question.

This is yet another reminder that the visual differences between Yami & Yugi are nondiagetic. They are cues for the viewer and do not actually happen in universe. Yami stands straighter and talks more confidently, and that's the only differences mentioned in canon.

Yuugi is, even now, a revolutionary male main character in a mainstream shonen series. Someone not afraid to show his emotions or cry, to love and care. His bravery is in his kindness and how he dares to believe in people. And it's never shown as a bad thing or "pathetic", something he needed to change - all he needed was faith in himself and confidence. On the contrary, his kindness is what makes a lot of people in his life grow into something better, too!

And he was created in the 90s!!

In one of Takahashi's author's notes for the manga, he mentions how he wanted to create a shounen/fighting manga but needed a fresh perspective on it, since it'd all been done before. The idea that came to him was a manga where the main character never hits anyone, which opened his eyes to using games as tools of battle.

Takahashi loved games and gaming his whole life. There's this really lovely video where he shows off all his collections of figurines and games at his house. The man really did live life exactly like he wanted and loved everything he did so much ;;. What a guy.

Yuugi's truly the character of all time. I love him so much <3.

This is what I love about Yuugi so much!!

In most shonen anime the kindness is an addendum to their strength. We can take Naruto for example. He is known for his kindness (and the Talk no Jutsu by extension). However, almost every character (with the exception of Iruka-sensei) respects and admires Naruto for his strength and unshakable will first. His kindness is considered a separate trait to his strength.

But for Yuugi his kindness is not separate from the idea of 'strength', for him those two are the same thing!! And you are right!! He never had to become more 'manly' or 'tough', because those traits do not always equate to strength. And Takahashi shows that different kinds of strength can exist in tandem with each other without one being superior over the other and I appreciate him so much for it.

Takahashi was truly ahead of his time <3

If you can direct me to the video, I would love to see it. Takahashi really did name his main character after his favorite thing :')

Yuugi is the character of all time and deserves so much love!! <3
