DSOD: The Internet Bully Kudaragi is a Familiar Face
So everyone's been excited about DSOD and freaking out over Aigami Diva, but I'm surprise no one has freaked out over that internet video bully, Kudaragi. Why? Because we've seen him before.
Here's his image. Kudaragi is large with skinny legs, he's wearing a star on his shirt and large shoes, but no he's not from Steven universe, he's actually from the comic's beginning.
In fact, he's this guy. This is a virtual pet (like tamagotchi or digimon) from a game that was the focus of a conflict in volume 3 of the manga and an episode of season zero. His name is Devil Master, although they don't say it in the manga. Look at their outfits: they're almost identical except that one is human!
This virtual pet actually ate other pets in order to make himself stronger. No wonder our new bully is so interested in internet fame through using other people! And why he has such creepy lines.
"But Dedre", you might say, "if this is a virtual pet, couldn't this character be the pet's owner?" Well I'm glad you asked. Though similar, Devil Master and his owner Kujirada from the comic do look like each other, but Kudaragi much more closely resembles Devil Master in both appearance and attitude.
Additionally, Kujirada was not that bad of guy: he was stuck-up, sure, but he was actually being controlled by the Devil Master for the worst part of the chapter, and after Yugi's pet defeated his he returned to normal. So no, I don't see Kujirada doing what Kudaragi does in DSOD.
And this is not the only character in this group who looks familiar! The guy on the far left should be obvious (HINT: he looks just like Yami Marik but short).
The other three I'm not sure about, though they do look familiar. If anyone else knows who these designs might harken to, please add it to this post!
Anyway it's good to see old enemies again so many years later in a new light! Looks like the story of yugioh really had come full circle! And I can't wait to see DSOD!!! :3
