Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions

a thread to talk about the movie and be jealous of those who are actually seeing it.
Also a general Yu-Gi-Oh! thread.

Why is Atem so great?
does anyone NOT like Atem?
Does Anzu X Yugi ever happen?
If Jou is canonically the strongest, but a late bloomer, when does he reach his potential?
Why is Shadi such a fuck up?
How do we get BASED KAZ to write a new manga or an egypt prequel or something

Does anyone know if the dub of Dark Side of Dimensions retains the music of the original japanese release? Or did they decide to throw out all the music like they did with the dub of the show?

I heard a preview of the OST from the japanese release and it's going to rock my fucking boat if the music got canned.

>Does anyone know if the dub of Dark Side of Dimensions retains the music of the original japanese release?

Nope. All 4K music. They even changed the ending theme, which is an english song, to the dub theme remix.

Do you understand how triggered I am right now
Like tumblr on election day
Fuck this I need to get my hands on the japanese version

O N E MONTH
so should I go see it at the cinema or just suffer through one more month?

>tfw my local cinema use jap dub and eng sub
Get fucked, amerifats.

You know you love the dub music

Are you in Australia by any chance?

i hate 4kids

Yes.

>Aussie's get the sub in theaters

HOW!? WHY!?

>Why is Shadi such a fuck up?
Muh duty to the Pharaoh.
Seriously, he would nuke the whole whole himself if it would push the Pharaoh's destiny along.

Don't know, mate.
It's been like this since Kimi no na wa.

This image pretty much sums up the manga and DSoD from what I understand

but he went about everything in the WORST ways possible.
and apparently Bakura killed him, which is just....
pathetic

Hah. You're watching the dub then. I've heard of some complainants from Aussies who said they watched the dub despite the Japanese cast being listed.

>and apparently Bakura killed him
He was a supernatural entity for 3,000 years; I excuse that murder as a mere flesh mask.

I'm in the US, and there are some screenings where the Japanese cast is listed, but i'm pretty sure theyre only screening the dub in the states.
wait
He was ALWAYS dead?
wtf
(pls no spoilers)

>Kisara isn't standing next to Seto
Oh, boy, does this mean she really was sticking around Kaiba for Transcend Game/DSoD?
>cucked by your descendant

This assumes you've read Volumes 36+37:
He's a spirit from the afterlife who was summoned by the father of the Pharaoh as a counterbalance to Zorc. He has a duty to guide the Pharaoh to his destiny.

Kisara, Mahado, and Mana didn't get reincarnated, they became the cards.
Kisara IS Blue Eyes White Dragon.
Mahado IS Black Magician
etc
oh i have read the end of the manga, yes.
Huh.
so...
hmm
How did I miss that?
Everything with Shadi was fucking confusing.
so Basically Shadi was never even alive, he WAS always dead, even in ancient Egypt.

kek, this also means he was sitting around doing literally jackshit from after Atem defeated Zorc until Yugi put the puzzle together.

He went around killing grave robbers with the Millennium Scale

oh yeah, thats right.
Atem's tomb is mostly intact then, isn't it?
I dont remember if it was ever shown.

In a sense, if he can only appear when Zorc appears, then technically he should not have existed while the puzzle remained unsolved; only when Yugi completes the puzzle would he be able to do shit with Pegasus/Bakura/Aigami and so on.

>Jonouchi does fuck-all during the movie
Lame-o

Jonouchi movie when? I need him beating the fuck out of Kaiba and Yugi while fucking Mai at the same time.

Katsuya Jonouchi beaing Yugi
K E K

would he even be able to get Mai? she was like 10 years older wasn't she?

>Kisara, Mahado, and Mana didn't get reincarnated, they became the cards.
Yeah, but is supposed to be after Atem loses and walks into the afterlife, and Mahado+Mana are welcoming him there.
Kisara should be with Seto if her duty is done, but Transcend Game/DSoD confirms it wasn't.

i haven't seen the movie; did Kisara appear?
i think that art is just fan art?

Then again idk
Maybe she DID get reincarnated, and she's another person out there.
Mahado and Mana were priests, and Mana would have wanted to be with her master.

Speaking of which, should Mana have ended up Way more powerful than Mahado when all was said and done?

right, okay this is what was lost on me.
I wasn't sure if he's around when the puzzle isn't complete.

>Katsuya Jonouchi beaing Yugi
He already beat Atem who was also using all 3 gods cards and got back his Red Eyes because he doesn't need no pussy-ass god cards of jobbing.

Meanwhile Kaiba was so butthurt about not being able to beat Atem that he pretty much killed himself to get another chance at it, just to job again anyway.

And the only way Yugi could beat Atem was through hardcore counterdecking as he knew he had no chance otherwise.

Jonouchi > Yugi >>>>> Kaiba

>Kazuki Takahashi considers Seto Kaiba and Yami Yugi weak in comparison to Joey
Kaz agreed. Don't bother him about it.

okay, so i'm thinking even more,
Magic&Wizards/DM couldn't come into existence until Yugi completed the puzzle.

So I guess he was a pretty busy bee considering only a few months passed between Yugi completing the puzzle and the CARD GAMES!!! arc beginning.

I dunno if she appears in the movie, but she does appear in Transcend Game (the prequel manga to set up DSoD).
As for Mana, she should be equal (series effect of DMG is +500 for every DM in the grave) to slightly less powerful (TCG is +300) than Mahado.

Yeah, no one was able to break into Atem's tomb until Grandpa.

>>Kazuki Takahashi considers Seto Kaiba and Yami Yugi weak in comparison to Joey

Proof or GTFO

Here lad.

The Mediocre Man's Humble Spirit
--In that case, you could say Jonouchi is very "strong," couldn't you?
Yes, you could. I believe that Jonouchi has a quite important place in the story. I think he has great potential strength. That's why a little loss would never be enough to make him give up. There are many messages I try to convey to all my readers through Jonouchi's role.

Compared to Jonouchi, I consider Dark Yugi and Seto weak characters. In specific, I draw Dark Yugi with heroic qualities, but he has his really weak points as well. In a way, the normal Yugi is overwhelmingly more strong than Dark Yugi. It's no exaggeration to say that Normal Yugi, Jonouchi, and the others' strong points help support the single 'piece' that is Dark Yugi.

>Does Anzu X Yugi ever happen?
I hope it does.

...Well i'll be.

They are childhood friends moving to different countries, there is literally no chance.

>I hope it does.
Kill yourself.

Anzu deserves to die on a random NY street after getting gangraped by a bunch of niggers while she cries for Atem to save her but him never coming.

You're wrong. Truth and love always finds a way

>Anzu
>Loving Yugi

Oh god please no.

Can any Ausfags confirm?

Anzu hates midgets. She wants a real man

>you will never play an Egypt prequel game where you summon monsters from your life force to kill fools, get bitches, and cause mass chaos before getting rekt by the kingdom's high priests
Forbidden Memories doesn't count, it's too "card game"-focused. I want Ka, Ba, and unorthodox battle tactics like breaking stone stabs and attacking the summoner directly.

go to japan and beg Kaz

a spin off video game could be non canon and work; i think its not impossible

How did Kaiba gains those abs?

for anyone who hasnt seen it yet:

A snippet from the Yugi vs kaiba fight.

So intense.

>tfw YGO anime duels will never be this good ever again
Feels bad man.

No Silent Magician T_T

From playing children's card games, duh.

>movie is actually playing near me
Should I go?

thats what OCD can do for you, specially when you are focused in getting revenge against someone.

Do you want an Obelisk card with limited edition art?

Are the YGO spin-off series any good? I only watch the original and should I invest my time to watch all of them?

Not a fan desu.

Yes but I also have social anxiety and worry about looking out of place at a kids' anime movie

Early 5Ds is pretty good, like the first 64 episodes, even though I would argue it starts falling apart at the 40s. But that's about the closest you get to the feel of the original.

The others are up to you. They're radically different.

I just realized: the Millennium Spellbook/Tome (you know, the item that beget the Millennium Items to begin with) still exists somewhere.
Zorc 2: Shadow Boogaloo when?

Meant for

nah I doubt we'll ever see anything of the original yugioh ever agian

how would that work though?
it just means Zorc could reappear, and someone else could garner the power of the millennium items, but...
idk
it'd be even less tied to egypt unless, somehow the items were connected to other spirits, or the items could call egyptians from the afterlife?

This is the only leaked clip of a full duel from the movie, Kaiba vs AI Atem

youtube.com/watch?v=UZZt94bD2_0

Well shit. Do you have anyone at all you can invite? I have a feeling a fair amount are going to be older fans anyway, despite the fact that it's a "kids" movie.

This Arc V was shaping up to be one of the greatest with its opening salvos but it shat the bed hard apparently.

Zexal pissed me off by episode 10 and GX is iffy for fans of the original.

Open question, does Zexal have good character development or nah?

Just realized--the manga takes place in the 90s, DSoD is like...1999 at the LATEST
kek
i want to click this so bad, but i also dont want to spoil myself

BDs soon isn't it?

You can wait.

>Blue Eyes CHAOS MAX Dragon
>BTFO by laser dodging DMG and homies
>DEEP EYES WHITO DORAGON
>BTFO poor Lemon
>Megaman Gandora X
>MUTUAL KILL

Already like this movie more than the first one.

>Zexal have good character development

It's all right. I don't think it's as good as characters from the original/GX/5Ds (1-64) but it's a hell of a lot better than Arc-V. Zexal does take a LONG time to get to that though. Like most people agree you need to get to Zexal II to start getting payoffs which is like mid 70s.

60 DAYS

More like 39

What happened to Kaiba abandoning his hate and making theme parks?

Virtual theme parks save construction costs.
And this is more a need for closure than hate.

well, his neuron Duellinks system seems to be a part of the theme park scheme.

He most likely left his hate in the ruins of Alcatraz and probably built theme parks while Atem was playing the ULTIMATE RPG or during the 6 month time skip from end of manga to movie.

Kaiba doesn't seem very hate free in the leadup manga.

Did Atem just cuck yugi for kaiba at the end?

i wouldnt call that kaiba hateful, i would go with 'obssesive' or 'demented'.

but its not hate.

I would argue he's more obsessed/crazy at the idea of seeing Atem rather than being full of hate.

I second this

Yes, yes he did

I never understood this.

if kaiba is the reincarnation of the high priest then whos is that guy in the afterlife?

are there 2 kaibas now?
someone please explain i can't sleep!

This movie should have been called 'shipping through dimentions'

good question!

i think Kaz didnt planned this thru, so well leave it as 'Kaz was high at that time.'

Yes there are two Kaibas, its a time paradox, they didn't show both because that would be overly complicated to explain for the ending sequence.

The guy in the afterlife is Kaiba's past life? I mean you could say the same for Sugoroku and Siamun being his past life that was also there in the afterlife.

Yugioh souls can be split into pieces. It's one of the powers of the millennium items and I assume it happens during reincarnation. Seto and Kaiba each have a piece of the same soul, just like Yugi and Atem.

past life.
Priest Seto=/=Seto Kaiba
reincarnation is wonky, so just think

Preist Seto was pharoh and then went to the afterlife and has been waiting for Atem.
Seto Kaiba is alive and well. he's a different person. same essence, different person

Throwback movies like this get wide crowds. Both DBZ movies at my local theater had a really wide age range in the audience.

>time paradox
Has there been time travel in the manga at all?
a time travel/paradox YGO story could be interesting.

Is Kaiba less of an asshole in the movie?

from what I hear he's less of an obnoxious prick and just more of an autist

He didn't do anything because that would mean making Red-Eyes good while Konami was trying too make Blue-Eyes meta defining.

And Konami couldn't let Blue-Eyes fail.

>making red-eyes good
but i thought Red-eyes was good in the meta?
and i mean, really isn't it on Kaz that red-eyes isn't that great.
BEWD>BM>Red-Eyes
but Red-Eyes gets Metalmorph, and Atem is Atem, which still means Kaiba outranks Jou.

And from what I can make of the current meta, BEWD has a fucking metric ton of support, and is actually FEASIBLE, whereas BM is shit and nothing but nostalgia, and isn't actually usable.

I mean, fuck
The decks Yugi and Kaiba run in the film should have been totally feasible decks for the current meta, and they weren't.

Speaking of which, what would Atem's deck look like if he were deck building now?

Here's the list of theaters playing it.

>BEWD has a fucking metric ton of support
Didn't it win worlds a couple years back?

I wish the Dark Magician series were that viable.

>should have been totally feasible decks for the current meta, and they weren't.

Why would a movie from the DM era have feasible decks for a meta that has synchro, xyz, and pendulum? That's too much powercreep.

Well, what do you expect from a guy who dedicated his whole life to being the champ of some fucking card game?

Jonouichi is the tank/paladin to Atem's hero, then.
