Yu-Gi-Oh!/Awesome: Difference between revisions

Line 147:

** Actually it ''is'' cheating. She has an unfair advantage because she can tell what she'll draw before she does. Most likely the only reason she didn't get disqualified for doing it is because Pegasus simply doesn't care. (Notice, during the finals he didn't disqualify Bandit Keith either, despite knowing for a fact that Keith was manipulating his draws.)

== Ryou Bakura ==

* Remember Bakura's noble attempt at a Heroic Sacrifice during his first appearance in the Duel Monsters anime? The manga's equivalent of that scene was even more awesome. During Volume 7 chapter 56 of the manga, while playing the Monster World RPG, Yugi and his friends are on the verge of losing against Dark Bakura thanks to his brainwashed dice ("[[Gratuitous English|Mind Dice]]"). After a fatal hit from Zorc, the party is assumed dead by Dark Bakura. His confidence is quickly shattered when he discovers that they all have [[HP to One|one hit point]] left on his computer. Right after this, some strange force takes control of his left hand and types the following message on Dark Bakura's computer: "''I'' am Ryou Bakura. I won't let you kill my friends. I'll fight too." revealing that the real Bakura had been fumbling his dice rolls [[Took a Level In Badass|all along]]. '''That's just plain awesome'''. Especially after you take into account that Ryou has been tormented by his alterego for the longest time, having his previous handful of friends being put into a coma and having their souls trapped in miniature figures. He certainly gave Dark Bakura a sweet taste of [[Karma]].

** Unfortunately, this is the last awesome thing Bakura will ever do in the manga. After he gets integrated into the main group, his most notable moments consist of doing things that make fangirls go [[Squee]] and being [[The Woobie]]. In the anime, he gets [[Demoted to Extra]].

Line 176:

* While the final battle against Zork has several, special mention has to go to Shimon (the ancient egyptian counterpart to Yugi's Grandfather) summoning fricken' EXODIA to battle Zork.

* Bakura Ryou gets one every time he manages to one-up his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]], most notably in the early manga chapters/Season 0.

* Rafael at the end of his second Duel with the Pharoah. His [[Alliteration|big bad boss]] monster, Guardian Deathscythe, has been destroyed. But he's still in the game. What does he do? He activates Soul Charge, a Magic Card which allows him to [[Back ~~From~~ the Dead|revive his monsters from the Graveyard]], but in exchange, [[Cast ~~From~~ Hit Points|forces him to pay 500 Life Points for each one]]. He resurrects all of his Guardians, but in the process is forced to pay more Life Points than he has left. So let's summarize: he could have just forfeit the game, but instead he chose to essentially forfeit while apologizing to his monsters for throwing them aside to power up Deathscythe. And the best part? After this, the Orichalcos tries to [[Your Soul Is Mine|take his soul]], but it ''can't'' because Rafael has no darkness in his heart. Plain. Freaking. Awesome.

* Personally I thought it was pretty awesome how Odion, upon regaining consciousness after going into a coma for a while managed to drag his injured self all the way up to the top of the tower where Yami Marik and Yami Yugi were duelling to show his unwavering support for Good Marik.

** His entire duel with Joey. Considering so many opponents have cheated him, including all his Battle City opponents except for Mako, Odion gives Joey his toughest duel yet, but flying in the face of both Joey's past opponents and the Rare Hunter organization as a whole, he does it completely fairly. Not only is it an awesome duel but it helps establish Odion as a [[Noble Demon]] [[Anti-Villain]] even without the flashbacks through it all.
