Yugi/Judai- Yugi is actually one of few people Judai really respects, and won't go against without a very good reason, Judai kinda wants to act like a protector to which Yugi smiles politely; Yugi doesn't understand why Judai respects him to that point, but he remembers and will use it if the situation calls for it; they actually talk to each other and one day Judai will tell Yugi about the Dark world if only out of shame and wanting to be judged.

Yugi/Yusei - Yugi feels weird about Yusei, because while Judai respects him, Yusei seems to worship him, the chance of genuine connection getting lost somewhere. For Yusei, Yugi will always be ultimately a duel monsters legend and he won't be able to completely shake it off.

Yusei/Judai - they are very good friends! Enough that Yusei will open up about feeling bad about killing murderous robots and much later Judai will tell him about Dark world in details, they mostly spend time hanging out, Yusei likes telling Judai about his hobby even if Judai doesn't get it.

Yuma/Yugi- there is, thank god, no worshipping involved, because while Yuma knows of Dark Magician, he never cared to learn about old duelists, they are very casual with each other, Yuma reminding Yugi of Jounouchi, which makes him easy to hang out with. Neither really talks about their problems, but if they feel down, they will seek each other, the acknowledgement of both Atem and Astral is silent and beside basic info, neither of them finds more.

Yuma/Judai- Yuma finds Yubel much cooler than Judai, sorry, anyway, he can't shake the feeling that Judai would make a very good Barian, so he tries to cheery him up whenever they meet, they exchange their catchphrases and pull of pranks; Judai likes Yuma, he doesn't really remind him of anyone else (even if he is kinda similar to his friends, Yuma ultimately is too different).

Yuma/Yusei: they... Like each other. And that's basically it. Yuma sometimes uses Yusei as his personal tree, but Yusei's issues aren't ones Yuma usually gets caught up with and vice versa. They mostly know of each other and maybe they would be able to go for small talk, but anything more? Meh.

Yuya/Yugi- Yugi feels like an old man around Yuya; as a guy who never liked moving much, entertainment duels as an idea are beyond him and magic tricks were more of Atem's thing than his; Yuya thinks Yugi is cool, but doesn't seek contact with him.

Yuya/Judai- that's a. Complicated one. They both tried to like each other, but Yuya breathes every mental issue possible inside and acts and no matter what happens, Judai can't really get to him, which is very frustrating. Even if Yuya listens for a moment, he quickly gets possessed by egao again. Having Haou title doesn't help; Yuya is actually genuinely scared of Judai, because talk no jutsu doesn't work, ever, which is a bad sign. He also uses fusion, another bad sign; they're arguing fairly often.

Yuya/Yusei- Yusei doesn't mind people not knowing how Satellite or Neo Domino City work, but he minds other people telling him they know better, which is a situation with Yuya. He likes listening about other Crow and Jack; Yuya wants to get along with Yusei but somehow, he messes up their every single interaction so he stops trying.

Yusaku/Yugi- Yugi can sense right away that Yusaku is hurting very badly, so he tries to befriend him, fortunately he's a gamedev, so they bond over that - Yugi has ideas and Yusaku has to code, it works very well, because this is completely different kind of programming, forcing him to focus and expand his horizon, at some point Yugi gets from him the story about Ai, and in return Yusaku hears something of Atem, but will never find the whole truth. Yugi will just smile when he asks.

Yusaku/Judai- Judai is kind of cool uncle figure for Yusaku, he appears and disappears, brings gifts because he doesn't know what to do, especially that Yusaku is salty Judai has Yubel and his general idea is just to support Yusaku in whatever he's doing, without overstepping.

Yusaku/Yusei- they work well together in like, professionally, though Yusei is more of hardware guy than software, they don't speak to each other often beside their projects, but there is mutual understanding between them; though, sometimes Yusaku really gets feed up with Yusei's attitude, but he won't mention it aloud, ever. Yusei reminds him of Earth, actually.

Yuma/Yuya- Yuma firmly believes in I can fix him with Yuya. Unfortunately, Yuya is Yuya, kattobingu and egao are constantly fighting; they're somehow good friends if they don't mention their beliefs, but they bring up it often... They even started making powerpoints to convince each other. Yuma doesn't believe Yuya that arc v Kaito exists.

Yuma/Yusaku- Yuma sees Yusaku's pain right away but he doesn't really know how to approach it? So he kinda awkwardly hovers over Yusaku, brings him food, offers him talking, asks for duels (unless he notices it's a bad idea with Yusaku) and really tries to be friends without bringing up Astral/Ai although it's very obvious for him; it's not so obvious for Yusaku tho so while he doesn't mind Yuma, he really doesn't understand what's his deal is and wants it to be over

Mickey Mouse isn’t a character that Sora thinks a lot about. But as he finds himself surrounded by Mickey's merchandise in his and Riku's apartment... Clearly, he has to think about it a little. Preferably not alone.

Or.

One of things I really wonder about in Zexal, is Mask of Agamemnon... I know why it was chosen - it's easily recognisable artefact, to emphasize the point of Kazuma knowing ancient stuff. Just. You know. In our world, you can see Mask of Agamenon in a museum... Which lowkey implies Kazuma stole it from the museum and instead of doing anything with it, it's just here, at his attic, lying down. Pure gold. Lying down.
