Thank you @wisyhana for the spicy Thief King Bakura x Akhenaden commission!! 🤤

[skeletonsheep]

So I came across this post from a bit over a decade ago when I was trying to find out Thief King Bakura's canon height, they determined that Thief King Bakura would be around 6 foot based on his height compared to Atem's(likely around 5-5'3)

Now, for the sake of simplicity I'm going to refer to Thief King Bakura as the commonly used fanon name: "Akefia" so there's no confusion from here on out.

[side note: I have no idea if it's pronounced Ah-Kee-Fee-Ya or Ah-Keh-Fee-Ya, please let me know how you pronounce it if you end up reading this entire monster of a post]

So instead of trying to pinpoint Akefia's height by comparing him to Yugi or Atem, I'm going to compare him to Kaiba and Priest Seto.

I'm going off the assumption that Kaiba and Priest Seto(PS) are the same height, and according to this character file- which I'm pretty sure is from the original manga, they're both 6'1

And here was the same height reference photo the original poster(OP) used:

And with the power of resizing photos and ibis paint x, we have this image

Now I also wanna mention that Akefia's height in the image is between Seto and Kisara, and I believe Kisara is 5'2 or 5'3 thanks to this site I use for height comparisons

She's slightly above Seto's shoulder so I think 5'3 is more accurate for Kisara.

And that makes the distance between Kisara and Seto 11 inches, and Akefia looks to be about either 1/4 or 1/3 taller than Kisara, and 1/3 seems to look more accurate so that's what we're going with.

And 11 divided by 3 would be just about 3.6

Or 3 and 2/3

And subtract that from the 11 inches and you get 7.67 inches between Akefia and Seto

[correction: it's 7.34, I did the math wrong slightly, I put in 1/3 instead of 2/3]

So subtract 7.67 from 12(one foot) you get 4.33- or 4 and 1/3

[subtract 7.34 from one foot and get 4.66, so 4 and 2/3]

Tac on the extra inch Seto has because he's 6'1 and you get 5 and 1/3,

[with my more correct math, it should be 5 and 2/3]

So according to my math(which may not be correct) Akefia/Thief King Bakura would be 5'5-6 if compared to Priest Seto

[after re-reading this I realized I put the wrong numbers in the calculator, so I'll come back and edit this maybe]

[OKAY, the real number after correcting my lackluster math skills would be: 5'5 + 2/3

Or 152.4 cm]

[EDIT: a commenter has informed me that TBK/Akefia's height was stated in a guidebook, so apparently he's 5'7ft/171cm]
