Yugi's Appearance

 Does Yugi’s appearance really change when he goes Yami? Hmm… that’s up for debate.  In his first duel with Kaiba Seto freaks when he changes, so he must notice something is different but… Tea says a few things that indicate there is no physical difference.  I’m inclined to think there isn’t and Seto just sensed something.  That leaves the question what does Yugi really look like?  The wide eyed shorty, or the slightly taller, long lashed teen.  I think the second.  Yes, I believe that how he looks as ‘Yami’ is his actual appearance and the other is to let us know there is a difference, and while they are at it they let us know how naïve he is.  Why think such craziness you ask?  Well, it all has to do with tournaments and records.  Whenever Yugi is in a tournament they show a picture of him (like, he is looking at a picture of himself) and he looks like Yami.  Examples?  In the Duelist Kingdom finals a screen is lowered with pictures of the pairs for the duels.  On that screen is a picture of ‘Yami’.  More?  When the gang goes to register for the Battle City tournament there is a picture of Yugi on the screen.  Once again he looks like ‘Yami’.  And I’m pretty sure there’s a scene like that on the blimp as well.
