Dead Celebrities aren't much fun

Shame. All jokes aside I actually liked his work growing up. I thought he had to have a very creative mind to devise all those games (not just the card game) and, if he were American, they'd have licensed every single one of them.

I especially love this one:


Always a riot at parties.

Yeah, the anime pussied out. In the manga the guy just lit himself on fire.

They really should do like a new anime of those first seven volumes. But they won't because there's barely anything to merchandise.

The Pharaoh was pretty deranged during the pre-children's cardgame era of Yugioh. He also set a bunch of punks on fire using spray paint, electrocuted a bunch of other punks with a taser in a puddle of water, had some asshole nerd lose his soul to an ancient cursed vase... then again, I remember Anzu (Tea) getting almost raped at least twice during that period, so perhaps he was justified. Everybody was kind of an asshole in that phase.

Not only did we lose the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh today, but we also lost James Caan.

Even his two nakama were total thugs.


Except they weren't his friends back then because they had more fun kicking his ass.

Did they ever squat and say, "Haaaa?!"

Was that ever actually in the manga. I only remember the anime 'filler' where that happened

Yeah back then 'Dark' Yugi really lived up to the name.

More importantly: Whatever happened to the missing waifu?

There was that fat nerd faking psychic powers who chloroformed her. The second one I may be confusing with the anime one, if there wasn't any chapter dealing with her dreams of going to the US.

There was, it's the same one where the robber sticks up the restaurant and Yugi convinces him to light himself on fire. Duel Monsters took part of that (the part where Anzu works at the Burger restaurant to earn money to go to America) and created a new story to sort of explain Yugi and Dark Yugi (this, along with the duel with Kaiba, the meeting with Bakara and Shadi being very key to Duellist Kingdom but taking place beforehand)
