== Darkness and Zorc are related. ==
They look alike, they have similar motives, they both use realtively innocent hosts who (using season 0 for Bakura) attract many girls, they each disappear in the thirdish season (Waking the Dragons and Yubel) and reappear as main villan as the forth, they each have two hosts (Thief King Bakura and Little Bakura for Zorc, Fujiwara and Fubuki for Darkness). They're each epic and this trooper is a fangirl of Zorc and thinks Darkness is cute.
* I always thought that Darkness was the Antichrist to Zorc's Satan. A more human embodiment of the evil shadow demon thing.
** [[Zork
== GX takes place in a world where the Roman Empire never fell. ==
The goal of the Princeton borhers is to dominate the economy, politics and dueling. People focus on this gigantic case of [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]], but forget another thing - how the hell do you "dominate" the economy? In the current system, there's no way. Ditto politics - even if you became president of the dominant global superpower (which he isn't because noone ever calls him president). Even if you dominated dueling, its impossible to dominate economics and politics.
However, in the days of the Romans, such goals were easily obtainable. Some businessmen could amass fortunes so large they dwarfed the treasury of the empire, and became the ruler of business, with nothing progressing without their say so. Ditto politics - with no bribery laws, one could thus make their will the dominant force in politics.
Line 31:
First, he's obsessed with the pop idol shtick, so secretly-gay boy band jokes apply. Second, he's ridiculously showy even with his obsession. Third, despite his parading to the girls, he has yet to seduce any of them and has ''hidden'' from them when they started stampeding towards him - something that a true Ladies' Man would never do. He gives lousy dating tips to the heterosexual Manjyome, showing his lack of understanding of women.
So, why is Darkness his repressed sexual nature come to life? Simple: he takes all the above and strips away the facade of woman-wooing, making them manlier. Also, during his duel with Hell Kaiser, he makes two contradictory statements about his [[Super
* Partially [[Jossed]] in Season 4: Fubuki wasn't the first or the only host of the Darkness entity, so it isn't the embodiment of his repressed homosexual angst. But that doesn't rule the gist of the theory out, especially since Darkness' last host was a bishounen pretty boy who just happened to be Fubuki's best friend.
Line 41:
So why doesn't Yugi try and fix the problem himself? Because, despite popular belief, he didn't ''destroy'' Zorc during Memory World; he just resealed the fiend and is too busy with keeping that monstrosity at bay to do anything else. (Hence why he was gone from his Grandpa's for so long.) Yugi could sense the potential in Judai and gave him Winged Kuriboh as a "passing of the torch" to complete his mission and keep the two worlds separate. The final nail in the coffin shows up in Season 4; right after the gang's romp through the Duel Monster Universe triad, Kaiba's Hard Light duel disk imaging devices start malfunctioning, indicating that the veil between worlds is thin enough for the monsters to emerge without such assistance.
* Another explanation to the weak barriers between the worlds is that Zorc ''is'' [[Deader Than Dead|dead]]. However, because he was technically killed 3000 years ago thanks to some [[Timey
** Shortly before getting zapped, Zorc gave the Pharaoh a [[Hannibal Lecture]] which may foreshadow Darkness's uprising in GX. Zorc says (in the Japanese version at least) something to the effect that [[Hope Spot|all light eventually fades]], no matter how bright it shines, but [[Despair Event Horizon|the darkness is eternal]]. Though Zorc was the alpha dog of the Shadow Realm at the time, he knew that something would take his place if the Pharaoh destroyed him. Darkness gives Judai a very similar speech after getting beaten, only remarking how ''Darkness himself'' is eternal!
Line 59:
In ''[[Shaman King]],'' when Yoh was reincarnated, his soul was split in two. One became Yoh, the other became Hao. In Monster World, when Judai {{spoiler|becomes an evil overlord}}, he goes by the name Hao. Evidently, Yoh's and Hao's souls were recombined some time after their deaths and returned to Earth as Yuki Judai, but remained in conflict; Yubel was able to force Hao to the surface.
== The original [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] is a [[Show Within a Show]] on [[
Shinji, the ultimate [[Unlucky Everydude]] [[Non
* Would Johan be a re-imagining of Kaworu in this scenario, then?
* Alternately, '''''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''' is the [[Show Within a Show]], and Judai has been watching it '''way''' too much.''
Line 88:
First it was Misawa staying behind to hang out with Taniya; then it's Asuka choosing to study abroad after she can't get into Judai's pants; then Sho takes over the role of Kaiser from his nearly-dead brother; and now Manjyome is screwing up Edo's career as a professional duelist and taking his place. As the fourth season is the graduating year for all the characters, this might be justified as an example of how old school friends go on with their separate lives after school ends. But this sudden push to get all of the old characters out of the picture is too blatant to be coincidence.
== Jun Manjyome's mother [[Death
Jun's older brothers put pressure on him to uphold the family name - not his parents, who should be more concerned about stuff like that. When he runs away and isn't seen for three months, his brothers are waiting for him when he returns to the Academy. No parents. In the beginning, it's only his brothers he wants to please, not his parents. It's his ''brothers''' help he doesn't want to rely on to become a pro, not his parents, who would logically be the ones with the money and connections in high places - if they were alive.
Conclusion: they're not around, out of the picture - dead. After the Manjyome brothers become estranged, Jun still has an unlimited supply of money to spend on things like building his own private dormitory with a jacuzzi; clearly, he's living off a trust-fund. And why else would his older brothers despise him so much, even when he was a top-ranker in Obelisk Blue? They blame him for their mother's death (or so every other [[Fanfic]] about their childhood says).
* The thing is, Jun's brothers ''don't'' hate him. They [[The "B" Grade|won't accept anything short of the best]] from him, and the fact that he can't be number one drives them up the wall, but it's a bit of a stretch to say that they despise him.
== Season 4 was purposely cut short to cover problems on the set. ==
Line 122:
** Or maybe Yubel was a [[Hermaphrodite]] with the physical appearance of a girl prior to losing humanity...
== Season 4 didn't happen because Judai's fusion with Yubel lead directly and immediately into the events surrounding [[Yu-Gi-Oh!
The garbage surrounding the ancient history of the Jibakushin and the Nazca Lines are all blatant lies, and the Jibakushin have only existed for as long as Yubel and Judai have been fused. Furthermore, Rudger's destruction of Old Momentum which caused the Zero Reverse was a desperation bid to prevent [[Instrumentality]] - had Yubel and Judai not become fused, Zero Reverse would have turned into a black hole that [[Apocalypse How|ended all life in this and every other reality]], and without Zero Reverse happening, everyone would have become [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|tang.]] The two events canceled each other out, containing the catastrophe to a manageable area and leading directly into the [[Oddly
* Alternatively, Zero Reverse could have happened as a direct result of Trueman and Darkness' actions. Namely, that the entire population of the planet just suddenly up and vanishing while some people are, say, in the middle of conducting open heart surgery, would be rather catastrophic.
== The show is the result of a dimensional warping caused by [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Anubis]]. ==
Remember [[Yu-Gi-Oh!:
== The plot of GX will be resolved in 5Ds. ==
Line 133:
== The Entire Series was a [[Writer Revolt]] by the original creators of the first manga. ==
They were sick of how their Dark Anime about an Evil avenger had mutated into a [[Merchandise
* That...makes so much sense! Especially if you consider that the first series pre-Duelist Kingdom Arc had more games and challenges featured than just card games...
** Makes no sense. Takahashi was more involved with the original manga (card games and all) then he was with the second series. I don't think he did much besides designing characters and monsters.
== Johan and his deck are a veiled shout-out to [
Johan uses a rainbow-themed deck, is Scandinavian and wants to connect humans and spirits. Bifröst is a rainbow bridge in Norse mythology that connects Asgard, the realm of the gods, and Midgard, the realm of the humans. Sound similar? There's also Johan's speech in 130: "Rainbow Dragon, fly! Become everyone's bridge..."
Line 143:
It would explain why trading cards are used in politics and scientists. After the main series, Kaiba realised that the Shadow Games were real, and he could use his link to the past to make his holograms real. The Kaiba you see is actually Mokuba, who is in disguise so Seto can rule the world in secret.
** Then who's Mokuba?
*** [[Yu-Gi-Oh!:
** That WOULD explain why Kaiba doesn't appear to have aged and Yugi has.
Line 152:
== Fubuki was being influenced by Darkness to release the Shadow Beasts ==
When Manjoume came to Fubuki for advice in wooing Asuka, Fubuki himself was at his weakest; off guard, relaxed, and unnoticing of what his actions could really cause. Under influence of Darkness, who still had plans, Fubuki "came up" with the idea of Manjoume stealing and using the Gate Keys to battle Asuka for her hand. This in turn was the sole cause of the Shadow Beasts gaining the energy needed to reawaken, almost bringing about [[The End of the World
== 4Kids haven't dubbed season 4 of GX yet because they're trying to fix it ==
