character meme: honda/tristan
I find Honda to be a very interesting character in his own right.Ā
Like, heās clearly the mom friend, probably the only character to actually deal with Bakuraās bullshit and have the balls to stop him at any chance he got (HE FUCKING PUNCHED HIM AT THE RISK OF HIS OWN LIFE), and I LOVE how he is in season zero. Also, heās willing to die for his friends because thatās how much he cares about them (death-t is a fucking joke, but I love Honda in it).
He also has this weird habit of being able to carry people around and seeming to be alright with it.
The anime really screwed up his character during Battle City and afterwards.
Favorite episode (scene if movie)
Iām not sure if I have a favorite episode, heās not a MAIN main character, at least not enough to get focused on for a whole episode. Hell, even in season three, when he duels, itās a three way duel against one guy and Hondaās only in the first part. Ouch. I dunno, I just really love a lot of the stuff from Capsule Monsters cause they did his character right in that, and had him fight.
Capsule Monsters, the whole season allowed him to actually get involved with the action instead of being a cheerleader. I also really like his scenes in Pyramid of Light and DSoD.
Can the whole moment of him punching Bakura in the face count as a line?
Probably the outfit he wore for a short time in Battle City in the earlier part of the story line.
Him and his crew, I especially love his friendship with Yugi
He plays dumb, but is actually very smart, but it depends on the subject. Heās also very crafty and would do great as a mechanic and designer for cars.
He shouldnāt have been reduced to a weirdo during seasons two and three. The manga, luckily, didnāt play it up too much, but the anime took a few throwaway background jokes of him and Otogi having a crush on Shizuka and took it to a creepy level that wasnāt funny.
LET HIM HAVE HIS DOG IN THE ANIME!
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen
Please donāt reduce his character anymore than the anime has alreadyā¦
