Achiru's Rant

Yugi is gothic... who knows why. Main characters don't normally wear black and buckles. And he does swear a bit and act more like a typical teenager in the manga. Weird, no?

Some differences between the dub and original was that the whole point of Yu-Gi-Oh! was to find out Yami's name. He was the nameless Pharaoh after all. The dub didn't know that and gave him the fan name -_-; His name has been a mystery for 8 years and now it's finally been revealed to be Atemu. Yugioh means King of Games, it's just a title. Kaiba was Yugioh until Yugi beat him.

About the rumor, it's true. In the Doom saga (After Battle City), Yugi and company go to America to participate in this tournament where this Atlantian guy wants duelist's souls (I won't spoil the reason). The loser loses their soul. There's this card that turns you evil and Yami's opponent gave it to him. Yami didn't want to use it but he was tempted and gave in. So he was evil, dueled Yugi, Yugi lost his soul and now Yami's blaming himself and well... really hates himself. Jounochi knocks some sense into  him^^ (it's the one time you see him get punched in the face but the English dub is probably going to cut that out).

Another thing to note: Jounochi's dad is a drunk so he has part time jobs to make money. Shizuka still lives with her mom but she can visit Jounochi more frequently now. They should have different last names but yeah... >>; The original was Jounochi Katsuya and Kawai Shizuka.

The one thing I hate about Anzu is when people say she makes friendship speeches. Honestly, how many more time has Yami made a "Heart of the Cards!" speech? A LOT. Anzu's a tomboy and can *kick ass* literally, if you read the manga, she can really scare both Jounochi and Honda.

A note about Bakura is he NEVER swears unlike every other character XD And he thinks of his yami as a voice in his head... literally. It's too bad he never has much air time in the anime, he has a lot more in the manga.

Yami no Bakura? He IS evil, and probably will never change. It's different in fanfics though^^; He has a really twisted sense of humor. And everyone thinks he's the spirit of a tomb robber but *spoiler* He really isn't. It's true one existed, but it's not him.

The funny thing about Kaiba is that while Yugi is dark... he's extremely light! No, not in the weight sense, but his deck too. He has a childish obsession with the BEWD, building BEWD planes, so on and so forth. Cute when you think of it. He just grew up in a not so happy environment. He changed a military weapon company to a gaming company and wants to build an amusement park for orphans. He's nice, he just can't show it well.

Mokuba has a multi-personality disorder in my opinion. He can be rude, sneaky, nice, friendly, mean, etc.

Otogi... I hate the animators forever for changing his story. The manga was SO much better. He never hated Yugi. His dad wanted revenge for losing to Yugi's grandfather so he trained Otogi to beat Yugi. Otogi tries to rescue Yugi from his father, it's sweet ^^; Otogi knows revenge won't do any good to anyone ^__^ I wonder what happened to his mom...

Yami no Mariku was born from Mariku's anger and hate. He lives inside Mariku, NOT the Rod. He was sealed by the tattoo on Rishido's face (he's SO important but fics tend to leave him out, they tend to forget if he falls unconscious, Mariku's a gonner). When Rishido is unconscious, the seal is broken and Yami no Mariku is free. In the Canadian version we get here, they dub it right. Mariku's darker self was born in him, not from the Rod. And I think Rishido even explains that. YAY. I don't know if it's different where you live but I was really happy they dubbed something right.

Yami no Mariku is 6 years old because he was born when Mariku was 10 XD XD XD

Noa is soo sweet at the end!! *swoons*

Dinosaur Ryuuzaki is supposed to be 24 years old O_O
