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*
