Yu-Gi-Oh! DM cast cooking skills:
(Warning some of these got slightly off topic, mostly the Bakura's who I wrote this specifically for)
Yuugi: He's good at cooking, he can always offer a hot meal and snacks. Nothing too extravagant or fancy. Yuugi doesn't mind, he's more interested in games so cooking comes second to that. (Yuugi's slightly better then Kaiba but Kaiba knows more random dishes trying to appear superior, Yuugi doesn't care, he's not competing.)
Yami Yugi: He is a below average cook, he can cook. He's just not the best. He's willing enough to learn but kinda gets distracted, all this boy thinks about is card games and when he gets to sneak up to the roof to stare off in thought again. It's ok he does the laundry and other stuff, his partners cook for him. (BTW his partners are Yuugi and Anzu in this scenario) (Finally something Kaiba can beat him in)
Atemu: He can cook, but he just does the basics, knows a few different special recipes in case its a special occasion but otherwise just the basics. Does enjoy watching cooking shows and trying different recipes from other cultures. The main things he goes out of his way to cook is things from Egypt, though his memory is crappy, he tries recreating dishes from home. (Most times it takes a lot and I mean a lot of fucking trial and error, but if nothing else, no matter how many times he fails them. He knows that Ryou and Thief will eat virtually anything, so the food never goes to waste).
Anzu: Bench food. Muffins, cookies, things you can put on your bench for everyone to eat at random is her speciality, otherwise she's an average cook. Can make all the basics. Good hostess. Can write in sauces extremely well.
Jounouchi: His food doesn't always look the most appealing, but it's appetising and if he's cooking for you it's usually means your important to him so you can always see the effort put into his dishes and the search history on his phone. He's good at stews, curries and stir fries. Knows how to cook enough to survive and can make things out of whatever he's given.
Hiroto: Hiroto is a home cook, he knows his way around the kitchen. He's not a master chef and his food is average. Nothing special thats overly difficult to learn if you were bothered to try in the first place. His parents were busy with work, cooking was a necessity. Though his dog is one of the worlds best fed dogs around, Barkly's diet is top notch. Good on the BBQ.
Otogi: Master at making riceballs.
Miho: Basic cook. Likes the aesthetic more then actually cooking, she'll day dream up an entire meal then order take out. Only makes straight forward dishes, good at decorating. When she was a little girl she went through a cake icing stage and got really good at it. Still looks up things like whether to put the pasta in before or after boiling the water.
Seto: Can cook, has chefs to do it for him any way. Mostly learnt to cook as a child and then as a bit of a superiority thing. He didn't like the idea that he couldn't make him or his brother dishes of higher quality. He's Seto fucking Kaiba, there is nothing he can't do (expect beat a dead guy at a card game or the host the dead guy was possessing for like three years). Sure he's not the worlds best cook (despite his own opinion on the matter and stubbornness to not accept defeat in any aspect of his life), but he can cook.
Mokuba: Happier to let others cook for him or eat cereal out of a box, him and Ryou love snacking together. Spending a lot of time as a child and early teens being kidnapped and taken by strangers or guys claiming to want to kill an already dead King or take over his brothers company or being their third brother, etc. It was hard to find time to even learn to cook and get those skills. Mokuba at this stage is more likely to get take out or heat ups, if neither work. Then not eating for a little while is fine. Not that hungry anyway.
Ryou: Can not cook. For the love of all things holy, DO NOT EAT HIS FOOD. Ryou has a natural talent of fucking up everything possible in the kitchen, almost all his food comes along with a side of food poisoning or making you want to throw it back up immediately. He never bothered learning to cook too much mostly preferring to snack instead, so you'll find so many cookie, chip, marshmallows, chocolate etc packets all hidden around his apartment. This boy loves food, he will eat literally anything he's allowed. He doesn't care (besides seafood, thats where he draws the line). Everything else! Fair game! but this also doesn't help his cooking skills cause while they are horrid and not a single person has 'survived' his cooking, he'll still eat it. Good with teas, the master of tea though. (He'll go with you to hospital to get your stomach pumped though, so that's nice <3)
Yami Bakura: Catches everyone off guard, but he knows how to cook and he knows how to cook well. One of the best cooks in the cast (I head canon him as a chef btw so this may be a little bias, ok well it's all my personal opinions so all this is bias, but Bakura is a master in the kitchens). Between raising Ryou whose cooking skills are so shit he had to step up or spend their life in hospital getting Ryou's stomach pumped once again. And going along canon bases, with random ideas thrown in, so Ryou's step dads dead and his other dad is doing research over seas to help figure all this out, his mother and sister died previously to their other boyfriend, Ryou's step dad (the one from DSOD). I always liked the idea of even not in all my bloody twin au's, that Bakura despite not meeting Amelia, Ryou's mother in canon, did see her through Ryou's memories, he saw her in the kitchen and his memory of his own family as Thief have been pretty fucked around with Zorc and 5000 years to simmer these ideas. So he can barely remember their faces, he can't remember his own name let alone his brothers, still in Ryou's memories, when that woman smiles at him, it feels so warm and after a while of Ryou making accidentally poisonous food offerings to them, he wasn't sure why, he started taking over, buying books mostly and gauging things off pictures more so then words, he felt at peace when he was cooking, it was a break from revenge and sometimes he swore Amelia was cooking with him, it felt like home as scary as that idea was. So he helped raise Ryou cause he wanted better for his host and honestly even in canon I believe they had an oddly healthier relationship as children then as teens cause Bakura still didn't get people and with Yuugi and the puzzle, things got complicated. Like people note, Ryou could of easily turned out like him and Bakura doesn't notice as much but Thief does so deep down, Bakura does as well even if he doesn't realise it. He is protective of Ryou and raising Ryou, cooking for him, preparing those lunches, it made him feel more alive and in a way it was a break from all the hell in his life, so even with his own body. He found himself naturally doing it when he was trying to find himself and that's when Ryou pointed out he could do that as a job. (It's also good for anger management). He likes making sweets and cakes best and is currently running a cafe, Mako's the barista and drink expert (as well as fish expert), Bakura is the head chef and updates the menu at random when he finds a new food to be obsessed over, Ryou eats all of his random attempts when designing new recipes and Jayden (GX) is a waiter/cashier, cause this is my au and rambles so yeah... it's ok Jesse's working at a bookshop with Ryou and Mahado and Mana (she's part time cause she does magic shows and such instead), they sell magical items and stuff at the bookshop too. Regardless if you read this long, all I have to say, BAKURA CAN COOK! and Ryou gives you food poisoning.
Thief King: He can't cook. He likes to think he can but he can not. He will serve you raw meat and uncut uncooked onion. His vegetables are still partly frozen and begrudgingly added to meals. He can make basic things if someone else is there and convincing enough to convince him to follow a recipe but expect egg shells in your cakes and surprise ingredients to be added the moment you look away, he can make enough to survive and keep others alive but all basic. Not as bad as Ryou and he doesn't necessarily give you food poisoning or make you pump your stomach like some of Ryou's cooking does but if someone else is willing to cook maybe let Thief have the day off. He can make one type of biscuits cause he was doing 'research' (his reading shit, he likes pictures, so manga research) and noticed people these days give cookies to show affection so he learnt to give them to Ryou and his hubby, he would give them to Bakura but Bakura always takes one bite looks at him then crushes the rest. (He's still figuring out how to deal with his creation.) (I write the Bakura's as brothers btw not sure if I mentioned that earlier) He can make some curries but still double check that any meat in them is cooked properly. Though despite Thief can't cook, I do head canon him as a cleaner, he started it as anger management, plus the arts and other things kept leading to fights from smashing cavas's over others heads to kicking the other participants in yoga. But Thief likes to clean, you'd think he's trying to cover up a murder but he's just really good and thorough at it. So while he can't cook, he's usually the one cleaning the kitchen or re-cleaning it. (you can tell when he's had a bad day, the entire house will be bloody spotless ^-^)
Malik: Can't cook well, honestly he's a very basic cook, cutting skills are good and his freezer is over stocked with ice and so are the drinks he serves. Most things he eats when not being fed by someone else are left overs or I head canon him having a vending machine that he stocks with all vegan friendly food for himself to eat at his garage (his own mechanic shop, it's on a massive property so that he can collect scraps and stuff for cars and vehicles and other machines. Despite the late start and very much beginner level cooking skills he knows how to study, so you better bet he's very well informed on all things vehicles. He merely has no interests in learning about food or how to cook. (He'd still fail cooking if he did it in school, or just pass).
Yami Marik: It's not that he's any worse then Malik is, but there is a chance he may just poison your food just cause, why not? That or he may add too many spices cause it's fun to fuck around with others food and he'll just eat anything as long as it's vegan. (He's also the one who would play with his food, Thief sometimes helps him with that.) (That and no recipe can tell him what he can and can't add to a dish, fuck them.)
Rishid: Mostly learnt to cook to be useful at first and then to keep Malik alive, but became very good at the homemade goodness type food. He use to feel compelled to constantly make his brother proper food though as everything's come to an end, despite realising his brothers bad cooking skills he's come to realise that it's not his duty to cook daily for him either. He doesn't always need to be useful to be close with his siblings.
Ishizu: Like Rishid, if you want that homemade goodness, come to the older Ishtar siblings. She had too look after her self a lot and eating out wasn't an option for someone like them, though she will admit to using the necklace to check out recipes that she learns in the future, they're not always the clearest so they don't always work out but she tries her best. She got very good over the years.
Mahado: Able to feed large groups, he can put most things together into an edible meal, is he the worlds best cook? not even close, just very creative. Bakura mutters and bitches but does try stealing ideas off him from time to time. Mahado doesn't mind, he mostly just wants to make sure he can look after anyone who comes his way, mostly when Atemu and Thief have a fight and Atemu crashes at his place.
Mana: Can cook, does cooking classes. Needs the classes because this girl can not follow a recipe to save her life and why should she! theres just so many different options. Sadly unlike her big brother (who is Mahado in my opinion, he adopted her and she adopted him) most of her creative turns and attempts don't all turn out so well. She's only given the group food poisoning once though, so alls well there.
Pegasus: He doesn't eat. When he eats he gets other people to cook because it's all for show, massive feasts, but when it's just him he sits in his room drinking wine and snacking on whatever his workers leave by his side getting lost in painting. He can arrange/design and design food better then he can cook it. (Him and Miho would be on decorating if they were trying to help in a kitchen)
Mai: She didn't know how to cook growing up as much, but after moving out on her own she learnt. Makes a lot of basics and knows how to keep herself alive. That's all she cared about. Has a professional coffee machine at home. Won't buy cheap coffee.
Mako: Fish is his speciality, but don't let my water child fool you! Yeah, he's a sea food expert, but he's also makes the best coffee's, teas, smoothies, broths, anything with liquid and he's your man. Clam chowder is his speciality. He keeps it in a thermos. A joyful cook, sure he doesn't experiment far from his comfort zone, he's happy to help. He respects his food.
Espa: Ok, apparently his favourite food is Pizza. I did not know that, I'll be honest I don't think I've ever really thought about him besides once or twice so I looked xem up. So he's great with pizza I suppose, oven foods a must, but honestly he's just mostly specialises in easy to make for larger groups meals to feed his family. (sorry Espa, IDK what your up to in the kitchen)
Rex: Raw meat. He can make food from nothing, his potato's are shotily peeled and sliced apart but it's edible. Either swimming in sauce or not enough, snacks or random chip packets and whatever else he can fit in his rug sack. He can live on the road with his cooking. Best ribs in the business.
Weevil: He'd eat bugs. I know he loves them but he'd eat them anyway. Whole life cycle stuff, IDK what this has to do with his cooking skills really, but I mean him and Ryou can eat bugs together. I think Weevil's a better cook then Ryou (well everyones better then Ryou in this situation). Rex is oddly a better cook then him, but he won't admit nor agree to that. Weevil can make instant food rather then anything. He's well researched so he can 100% bullshit enough to make it seem like he knows what he's doing but he's just bullshitting and can't do half the stuff he knows the words for. Get Rex to cook for you instead.
Thanks for reading! Not sure if anyone actually read all those -_- but if you did, hope you enjoyed! I just really wanted to ramble, have a cookie 🍪🍪🍪 (or 3 cause I like 3's)
