Jibun Wo Tsukuru!

All the time I think about how Ishizu was just. POV you’re 15 years old your dad just died in front of you in the most gruesome and horrifying way possible and the next day you woke up to find out that both your brothers just disappeared into the night without so much as a goodbye, leaving you 4 for 4 on lost family members, and now since no one else is left you’ve been gifted the crushing responsibility of taking charge of your entire ancient religious order slash insular underground society. oh btw do you want to now try on the cursed ancient artifact that will either grant you unimaginable powers or kill you from the inside out? it’s free real estate 

learning that one Yu-Gi-Oh! guy was actually supposed to be named Malik was crazy bc it draws attention away from him being some bizarro psycho card playing monster and brings it back to like oh yeah this is just an Egyptian teenager who’s into nerd shit. i know guys named Malik. who tf is Marik

due to translation errors “Daniel the High school Sophomore” is now “Supreme Warlord of Darkness Azrael”, we hope this won’t negatively impact your view of him too much

what I like about Yugi is that he is definitely in that "kind non-violent all-loving friendships-everyone" protagonist archetype but most of the time we expect those sorts of characters to wear their hearts on their sleeves or solve their problems via communication and understanding, whereas one of Yugi Muto's defining character traits is that he'd rather die than admit he has a problem. you can pour soup directly in his lap and he'll be like "oh that's okay ^_^" while internally burning with such an unquenchable incandescent rage at you that 30 minutes later his evil shadow self confronts you in a back alley and forces you to play something called Knife Pogs (a game he just made up that's like Pogs but the pogs are knives so every time you hit the stack a bunch of knives fly out and stab you in the kneecaps). so that's fun

Yugi and his friends could use that chart.

"you gotta play with the cards you're dealt" WRONG. i play pot of greed which lets me draw two additional cards from my deck
