in case anyone was wondering about the kazuki takahashi house tour: this is the video. i tracked it down to share with all of you. in here, he shows off his home and studio, where he has entire shrine dedicated to yugioh merch, in addition to other various interests such as horror movies, marvel comic books, and other mangaka’s work. in his studio, he has the original yugioh manga and seems fairly proud of the work he’s created. he still had the original inkings he’d created.
takahashi was a lover of games, and i’d like to think having a hand in creating one of the biggest trading card games in the entire world is a legacy that a such a game lover would take pride in. takahashi clearly enjoyed and loved the series he created, and the loss of him is devastating. thank you, takahashi, thank you. your work inspired me to create, and i am indebted to the work you did that shaped my childhood and me as a person. this is a sentiment echoed by millions right now.
