Still making my way through 5Ds so mostly has a lot of GX and DM. Main is @trashfox6. I accidentally wandered into cardgame hell because Digimon Tri was hurting me too much and now I'm stuck.

every explanation yugioh has ever provided for Shadi’s Whole Deal: a compilation

Early manga: Shadi is a mortal human man. He’s alive. He rides airplanes. His family has guarded the tombs of pharaohs for generations. He’s motivated by things like petty revenge, intellectual curiosity, and a desire to protect Egyptian artifacts.

First half of Memory World: Shadi is a member of the Tombkeeper Clan. His side of the family got into a fight with the Ishtar side, and they each took some of the Millennium Items in the divorce. He’s motivated by the same duty the Ishtars were raised with: to help the Nameless Pharaoh regain his memories. Every fucked up thing he’s done (giving Pegasus the eye, lying to Malik, trying to kill Yugi’s friends, etc) was presumably part of a game of memory-restoring 4D chess.

Second half of Memory World: Shadi was never human. He’s a shapeshifting supernatural being that serves as Zorc’s equal-and-opposite counterpart. He’s also maybe the human incarnation of that tablet with the Millennium Item-shaped indents in it? Bobasa and Hasan were both him, shapeshifted. His motivation is to stop Zorc. Everything he’s done was presumably part of a game of anti-Zorc 4D chess.

DM anime: Shadi is a ghost. We mostly know this because of an anime-added scene where he saves Honda and Otogi from falling and then vanishes, and they’re like “was that a…g-g-ghost?” We don’t know when he died, or who he used to be. He isn’t Bobasa, the anti-Zorc, or Hasan (but he does briefly pilot Hasan’s Memory World RPG avatar, mostly as a convoluted way for the anime to adapt his death scene. Yes, he dies despite being a ghost). We never really get a motivation for why he did anything.

Capsule Monsters: Shadi has been a ghost for thousands of years. He’s been fucking with people the whole time (including Alexander the Great). Motivation: the lulz?

DSOD: Shadi used to be a mortal human man, up to about 5 or 6 years before the start of the series. He somehow got on his hands on the Secret Eighth Millennium Item. He trained a bunch of children to use it to make a utopia dimension. Then Zorkura killed him. After that, he was a ghost. His motivation was…4D chess for the utopia dimension? Which didn’t actually work?

gotta make a compilation of every time a girl flirts with Judai or everyone falls for a girl except for Judai cause it happens so many times and Judai just clearly has no attraction towards women at all

[genelpan]

They rock

[vulture-jack]

all criticism of Dark Side of Dimensions aside literally NOTHING is more On Brand than Kaiba being so mad about not getting to duel Atem again that hes like “I’m gonna conquer the concept of death to play a card game with a dead guy” and then he actually fucking Does It 

Like this is what i meant when i said seto kaiba is one of the most entertaining anime characters to ever exist he literally built himself a way into Ancient Egyptian Heaven over a Card Game beef and i saw that and was like “that seems like something hed do”

Is Kisara....technically.....

......a gijinka

[yugi-trash]

Op i need an explanation please

[synthient]

On an in-universe level (as people have pointed out djsksdk), she created the bewd, so she's technically a scalie. But on a meta level, KT looked at a big scary monster and. effectively created bowsette

[yugi-trash]

That's a terrifying but valid answer

God, Judai both looks and sounds so broken.

And like, you know this can’t have been an easy decision for him to make. Esp considering how excited he was way back in ep1 to get into DA. 

Like, look at this face

this is the face of some extremely excited to be there.

Also in getting this cap I noticed just how different S4 Judai’s voice is. Aside from being noticeably deeper, there’s no cheer, no enthusiasm, all the joy he held for the last few seasons has just been sucked out of him.
