At the end of the day, who really are you if everything you know about yourself stems from the life of a person you're pretending to live as?

I wake up at 1AM everyday. I sneak out through the window. There is this guard in my home that I don't know.
My name is Yugi Muto.
He grabs my arms and keeps me trapped in my home. He claims he's "worried" and that "I'm injured" but HES LYING!! HE WANTS TO TRAP ME INSIDE!!
My name is Yugi Muto.
The guard is wrinkled and says my name like he knows me. He's lying. It's a trick.

Sometimes when I wake up I'm a new version of me I haven't met and I don't remember where I am and I think. Like. I belonged somewhere far far away and got trapped here as a form of c o s m i c p u n i s h m e n t. Like. A sinner taken to the slaughter. And I stop sleeping and suddenly I realise these people I call my family are people I don't know OR love. But that's cruel right. And I wake up not remembering days. Weeks at a time. And suddenly the house I thought was mine feels like a prison and when I look in the mirror my face it changes every time and I feel sick and have to look away because that's not me.
And I begin fearing that I don't recognise myself in any of my memories and I dont recognise the friends the me I see in my memories fought so hard to get and I realise that I REPLACED HIM. I AM THE REPLACEMENT. And so I try to gamble my life away and I fill "my" body with meds and caffeine and I pity the "ME" I replaced so much that I run around and s l a u g h t e r everyone who ever hurt him because he deserves to rest in peace. Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually dead and this is my afterlife but haha.
That has to be a lie right. Right. Please. Tell me I'm right. Who the fuck am I now? Him? M-
the kaiba siblings as girls, but like.. they didnât change much đ
(mokuba wanted to match, so kaiba grew out her hair, which is the only change from og kaiba)
mokuba was already pretty genderless lol
if kaiba and mokuba were girls, i feel like kaiba would have turned out even MORE evil. she would have had to prove herself twice as hard as a CEO, and probably be treated worse by their dad.
Honestly, Dragouxion didnât even come across as problematic to me when it released.
Even without Ash, we have Effect Veiler and Imperm, which not only denies an omni-negate and a spell negate, but potentially a body too. If I donât open it, then fine, Iâll try to play through the board with what I have WHATEVER thatâs the game
The core of my extreme anger is that the SKILLS arenât locking their decks good enough.
Why are MYUTANTS not allowed to use anything but Myutants, but shit like Blue Eyes and Therions and Punk just allowed to have powerful skills that get them full combo on top of access to Dragluxion or the Sarc engine or Lave Golem/BALL????
Why are THERIONS (???) a tier 0 deck now? How the fuck did you make a game where THERIONS have the power to be a tier 0
âOh? You have the imperm that would normally answer Dragluxion? Nah, I set up an omni-negate beforehand with my skill lol. Have fun dealing with necrovalley now too, bc I can search that if I want with Drag too lolâ
It sounds like Iâm hating on skills, which I am, but I do enjoy them in the game! I love the hyper consistency in these deck, and how you can always have A play to do.
But good god I wish they would balance them better. (Which they wonât because $$$) Put some locks on that shit man.
Therions should only be allowed to normal/special Therions in the main deck. Easy. Still have access to all handtraps and its extra deck tools without all the bullshit that comes with no locks. A skill should not be allowed to pivot through 4 different engines in a single duel
Oh yeah, I totally agree. Dragluxion didnât feel that oppressive in Tachyon (or even Punk) because it was a negate magnet. Even without Veiler/Imperm on Dragluxion, there are other ways to mess up their follow-up plays, like dropping Droll after search. Iâm seriously tired of Konami pushing Albaz lore decks by giving EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of them a custom-made skill. The favouritism doesnât even stop there: why are Tri-Brigade, Swordsoul, and Icejade locked out of Kaijus (and sometimes Nib too), but Despia and Therion arenât? The argument that âwe need Kaijus to break toxic boardsâ doesnât work because guess whoâs allowed to yeet your monsters with Kaijus AND set up MD-lite levels of âmore negates than you have cards in handâ kinda boards?!
As for how Therion became tier 0, well, yellow button goes brrr. I understand power creep is inevitable and Konami wonât deviate from their skill-focused design philosophy any time soon, but thereâs no way nobody realised giving a deck the ability to set up an omni-negate before committing to any play would be break the PvP metaâs balance, leave a sour taste in playersâ mouths (BUY THIS NEW DECK AND YOU TOO CAN ENJOY NEGATING YOUR OPPONENT OUT OF EXISTENCE), and ultimately hurt DLâs longevity. It makes me wonder if Konami released the new Character Duel mode so people wouldnât immediately uninstall after facing Therion lol. I have little nostalgia for 2021 decks and Gagaga Sisterâs summoning chant, but not having to stare down at my opponent building pseudo-FTK boards feels actually refreshing after all the bs happening on Speed ladder
At the end of the day, I have absolutely no faith that Konami will fix the Therion problem by nerfing the Therion skill, thatâd be too sensible and not profitable enough. Instead theyâll probably nerf the Dragluxion package and make Tachyon/Galaxy catch strays for the sins of Rank 8 slop decks (RIP anime roleplayers I guess). At least the next Albaz lore deck on the list, Spright, comes with built-in restrictions, so it shouldnât break the meta in half even with a tailored skill⌠right? RIGHT??
