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

** Jonouchi/Joey in the anime. When Bandit Keith tries to steal his card during the Duelist Kingdom Arc, Jonouchi beats him up, claiming that while Keith may be good at card games, he's the best at fighting. (Consider that Keith is taller and more muscular than Jonouchi.) In the anime, Jonouchi gets beaten up rather ungracefully instead.

** Anzu in the anime too, whose cheerleader role is played up, and her violent side greatly reduced.

* [[Base Breaker]]: Seto Kaiba. He's either the coolest and most badass character in the show, or he's the pure embodiment of [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]] [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|who took up too much space of screen time.]]

* [[BLAM Episode]]: Episode 28, full stop. Yugi receives a psychic dream (or a simple nightmare, it's ambiguous) from his grandfather encouraging him to defeat Pegasus, there's a few shots of Mai adjusting her deck (which don't conclusively explain ''what'' she's doing and simply lets us know she's changing things around). And then Anzu, Honda and Bakura sneak into Pegasus' room to see how he knows his opponent's moves, and find a peephole looking down onto the dueling field which they take to mean he could have a minion with a telescope spying for him. Then Pegasus arrives and teleports them to an ancient temple full of robed figures, including Pegasus himself, who duels and defeats a cloaked figure, then makes to attack the trio before the spirit of the Millennium Ring appears and teleports them all back to their rooms, erasing their memories of the incident. The only thing that occurs in this episode of relevance is resolved in about two minutes over three scenes - Bandit Keith steals Jounouchi's entry card to the tournament.

* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: Various Kaiba fans. A troubled past alone does not a [[The Woobie|Woobie]] make. Especially when you're one of the top-ranked duelists AND the richest man in the world, and tend to be pretty apathetic towards other people's suffering at times.

** Not to mention the card game. The main point of Yu-Gi-Oh! was originally intended to be friendship. Unfortunately, the children's card game element got out of control and is now the dominant aspect of the franchise, while the friendship aspects which are still present are regarded as [[Narm]].

** Indeed, it should be noted that they were different shows made by different companies -- 4Kids did not buy the rights to the Toei animation, and thus never dubbed it.

* [[Moe]]: Once you get past the [[Anime Hair|crazy hair]], it's difficult not to go "Aww, lookit" with Yugi.
