I hate my Yugioh memories (Season 4 revisit)
Yu-gi-oh's premise was never really that good.
Sure, it was pleasing to see the most epic card matches ever in the card game, WHENEVER THEY FOLLOWED THE RULES,) which was never!
However, the show seemed to be in the hands of evil corporations and bad parenting. It's quite a pop culture icon for whatever reason. Iconic and recognizable at every anime convention, even losing it's anime tag status.
It was "dark" for a teen show, comical for an adult show, like watching a Saw movie that wasn't the first two films. There was probably something not right with me or society at the time, when I thought of the appeal of the original Japanese show for having real severed limbs sacrificed during this card game. (I'll get to the perceptions of Egyptians and cults later on in the show.)
Noah ark. I didn't buy them as brothers, at least brothers that liked each other and it really made the arc seem to waste a lot of time.
It seemed to break the fanfiction rule of long lost family member that was established when I was writing in Antagonist Inc's AOL forum Final Fiction
Yugioh had a more in depth card game than Pokemon Trading Card Game.
Yasuko Kobayashi
Kamen Rider OOO
The seal of Orichalcos was actually underrated by me thanks to the horrible dubbing and editing by 4Kids.
Pegasus' reveal is apeshit insane to the point of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure comedy.
And Kaiba's such a motherfucking asshole. He's written so wooden, showing no changes in personality, no matter what happens to anybody besides his kinky incest brother that he makes Pinocchio look like he's crying Mt. Everest here.
Yami Mai is way underwhelming.
The loss of non-Yami Yugi should've had a better impact considering the heart he meant in the series.
And pretty much everything gets ruined by Bicycles.
If this was Kamen Rider, 4Kids would've ruined it because of the very bikes that have made the show iconic.
Seal and magic cards.
Hell, isn't the reason the reason everybody loves Yu-gi-oh, because it pisses off the right wing? Egyptians, the Middle East, religion, magic, violent films, the bad hentai fanfiction ships?
There are a lot of Kamen Rider fans that complain about Kamen Rider Wizard having nothing in the plot, but it accomplishes its goal of selling toys and being respectable and unique while doing so.
On Track IV: Weaknesses and power having nothing to do with, what Mai said in the flashback.
