I think now might be a good time to update my blog finally. My name is Rachel, I am currently 31 years old, I'm cis and go by she/her pronouns, and I am fandom loving trash so approach with caution because I can't control my weebness. Good vibes only!
At long last, the yugioh crimes and kill count list has been updated for season 0! (original post here)
The most commonly committed crime is...
Assault! Fists were flying in s0. This is what happens when 4kids isn't around to censor violence. Yugi was the biggest target with 19 crimes committed against him.
Who committed the most crimes? Yami Yugi.
but we all knew this already.
Yami commits approximately one crime for every crime committed against Yugi.
There were 116 crimes committed across 27 episodes. That's a whopping 4 crimes per episode. Compare to DM's 176 crimes across 224 episodes, coming out to 0.8 crimes per episode.
Some additional stats:
Kaiba leads the villain crime count with 16 crimes committed.
Yami Bakura once again wins as the most murderous character, with 6 attempts at murder.
Kaiba makes 5 attempts at murder.
Despite all the attempts at murder, the Pharaoh is, once again, the only one capable of committing it (more on this later).
Yami Bakura comes in second with 12 crimes committed. I suppose this is only because he showed up late into the series. He commits all 12 crimes in 3 episodes, giving him the highest crime density.
Yami initiates 11 Shadow Games.
Now you're probably wondering, how does this compare to DM? Well.
Attempted murder still leads. There seems to be an awful amount of cheating in ygo, regardless of whether it's at card game or any other game.
As for characters:
Yami Bakura leads at 51 crimes committed. No surprise here. The Pharaoh quadrupled his crime count. Kaiba tripled his crime count. They finally let Jounouchi commit the crimes he deserves. Most of Jounouchi's crimes were from fighting people that threatened Yugi.
So now you're probably wondering: why do these numbers seem so low? What about the murders?
The Pharaoh/Yami Yugi only kills 2 people in s0: the archeologists that found the Millennium Puzzle, and possibly Zorc/Yami Bakura at the end of ep 27. Any other canon manga deaths were turned into Shadow Game mind breaks or left ambiguous.
So, Yami Yugi doesn't actually kill that many people in s0. However, no one else managed get any kills in s0, so Yami Yugi is still the most successful at murder. Combined with DM, this brings his kill count to 6.
Obligatory disclaimers:
after having gotten a lot of practice w the original dm kill count list, my process of determining what is and isn't a crime is far more detailed for s0. so the crime count number might be inflated
"mind break" is defined as whatever happens to the loser of the Shadow Game.
As always, feel free to ask me any questions about these stats. I had a great time watching s0 and seeing how yugioh evolved into what it is now. My favorite detail that I picked up: those KAI high scores at the arcade? That wasn't Kaiba. That was MOKUBA. Mokuba is ygo's forgotten gamer demon.
More data tables below cut:
Minor villain league, if anyone is curious:
Villains are only listed if they committed more than 3 crimes. Yo-yo gang encapsulates crimes committed by Hirutani. Shadi is the only villain to get away relatively scot-free.
