Remember 2 posts prior I said I would scan the digital version as I buy it?
Well, I won't be able to because being european, doesn't allow me to access it, also the credit card I use is VISA Electron, I tried Kindle version but is US only, even if I wanted the UK ones (which has the first 7 volumes), it is still UK only. Through paypal it comes to a similar problem with the VISA Electron.
I think this is very unfair to be honest, I was about to buy it.
I won't be able to scan it anymore ( as I've said before I don't want to scan my printed versions copies, and damages a little bit and bit loose, 4 pages of Volume 8 is loose and was ironically Pegasus's death scene), unless it's specific pages to approach certain scenes, but I will still keep writing my interpretations and observations of the manga series.
However I can give you a nice download source:
http://ygomangadatabase.dreamwidth.org/
This is someone who collected over the years, so there is some nice quality and low quality, but still readable.
for anyone in US and CA, you can buy it, in Nook, the digital version is cheaper than amazon by the way, and there is NOOK for PC and tablet, if you do, it would be nice of you to scan it.
for anyone who have read the manga through the source I gave you, but want to reread again, buy the printed version or digital version...
I think is such a shame such a good manga not having better quality in scans, I wish I could continue scanning the printed version, but I can't, I have all 38 volumes, I was able to buy them at a one-of-lifetime chances from 1 month of internship money in a course I was in, I don't get this chances often, best 255€ I ever spent ( I received 670€ btw), so I want them to endure and alot...
digital versions you don't have to worry about damaging the pages or anything, if I could buy it, I would buy it as well.
So I'm sorry I can help you, but the scans in YGO Media will remain though...
next post will be the continuation of thoughts and observations...

Thoughts&Observations | Mangá Vol.8-11 Part 10 (Duelist's Pride Pt.1 and Kaiba Arrival)
It is as the title suggests, I will touch upon something that bothers me, it is not the writing, but the subject in itself regarding Duelist's Pride or what it means being a True Duelist, that makes me think and make questions about this, that is discussed a little in the series between the characters, specially those who are regular players.
Plot Summary:
Pegasus and the Big Five just got reported that Kaiba came out of coma and well, charging to Pegasus's island, they are very upset about this news and Pegasus tries to calm them down claiming he has everything prepared...
Dark Yugi left the battle box with the player killer of "darkness" staying still in shock through his penalty game, Dark Yugi tries to give to Mai her star chips, in the beginning she refuses based on her pride and leave the island, the rest of the gang hears their conversation and they try to convince her to accept the star chips while also implying they're friends then Jounouchi in his way of helping in making her accept her star chips back...she was moved by all their gestures and she promises she will get back the star chips she owes to Dark Yugi so she can earn the "right" to duel against him.
A helicopter crossing the ocean with Kaiba inside with a bodyguard and pilot, he discuss about the recent reports and events, feeling extremely determined in saving Mokuba and starts to realise they are going around circles, the "bodyguard" noticing Kaiba knowing there is traitors in the helicopter, he tries to kill Kaiba but in vain, since Kaiba was able to turn his favour with card and pick up the gun and tells them to jump to the sea and goes to Pegasus island.
They try to go to sleep but are interrupted three times, first Honda gets a scare for a vine falling from a tree by confusing with a snake and confessing his fear over snakes, reptiles and anything with a slippery skin, the second time was Ryou's Millennium Ring acting strange which was reacting to the presence of the Millennium Eye in the castle, the boys freak out for knowingly is a very dangerous Millennium item with a evil spirit inside, Ryou Bakura reveals the other reason of why he came along besides supporting and helping his friends and having to do with the millennium items...the last time they are interrupted is Kaiba arriving to the island, there is a conversation between them as Yugi gives Kaiba's deck back, Jounouchi challenges Kaiba to duel, but he accepts under one condition using his prototype duel disk on standard mode, Kaiba wins against Jounouchi with ease, Jounouchi is feeling very depressed as Kaiba insults him, Anzu not taking it anymore speaks her mind then almost followed by Ryou mentioning Jounouchi's sister which stuck in her mind... Yugi calls him out if Kaiba had changed at all, but then he responds is not that simple for him and brings Pegasus, the duel he watched... a duel he won without fighting against Bandit Keith (a card professor) under conditions being broadcasted on tv and a prize of 1 million dollars, the time came and started with Pegasus teaching kids to play the kid and gives a deck to a kid called Tom, when the duel start, Pegasus made his "mind scan" on Bandit Keith, he wrote instructions in how to beat Keith, he called the kid called Tom and duel for him by following the instructions on the paper he has given to him...the kid wins, Keith is in shock and check the piece of paper with the instructions, after the duel and Pegasus finished talking with Kaiba and came to congratulate the kid as chance to promote his card game.
Key Points:

Key Points:
So Pegasus is informed that Kaiba had awaken from coma and is heading to Pegasus's island and video chatting with his associates, "Big Five", from anyone who watched the series whether was subbed or dubbed, knows who they are, they are kinda important but wasn't never mentioned in the manga after the Duelist Kingdom, even though they appeared quite often in the anime with their own story arcs (The virtual RPG game of Duel Monsters and Noa's Virtual World Arc).
Pegasus certainly is insistent with the plan, the question is why? He has plenty of money and still gains a lot from Duel Monsters according to Player Killer of Darkness, so why? It can't be just the money but something else? it will reveal itself as we advance in the story.
But the "Oh No!" and "What a mess!", makes me wonder if is acting or serious, I think it's mostly serious because later just like them, he would prefer Kaiba to be dead, which is insanely disrespectful and even after kidnapping Mokuba.

Thoughts&Observations | Mangá Vol.8-11 Part 9 ("Dark Yugi" VS Player Killer "Darkness")
Mangá Vol.8-11 (Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist 1-3)
This will focus more on the duel between these 2 bellow, specifically "Dark Yugi".
Update (03/08/2018): for a change, it has finally an introduction, now it seems will be maybe lighter...but due to recent events and I haven't been well focused on these updates as much as I'd wish to...😕
Plot Summary:
Dark Yugi accepts the duel (more like ordered to) by the player killer clown face guy, they sit down and the player killer introduces himself as Player Killer of "Darkness (so lame 😑), explains the whole situation about the tournament, the duel starts, the player killer duelling style he uses the night as where part of the field can be darkness which can favours his monsters cards attribute being of darkness, therefore gets special advantage in hiding in the darkness, player killers is feeling overconfident, Dark Yugi is the same but not to the point of bragging like the player killer does, Dark Yugi is more or less testing the waters first until he figure out in how to beat him and claims he will win in 5 turns, he does achieves it but not just with card skills and confidence like he usually does...
Key Points:
As usual "Dark Yugi" accepts the challenge specially against those who cross the line when it comes hurting his friends or whose he does respects, Kujaku Mai.
I know these panels in particular aren't important, but I like the sense of movement in Dark Yugi's bangs when he is taking over from how was drawn, which is something I have always found curious, Yugi grows 1 to 3 cm and more golden hair and the hair gets bigger too, Yugi's eye shape changes a little, we know is the spirit of the millennium puzzle taking over, so these physical changes in Yugi's body when Dark Yugi takes over, obviously is from the magic of the millennium puzzle to emphasise Dark Yugi isn't "other yugi" but someone else entirely (it is obvious).
According to the panels of this panels ensembles, it reveals that Pegasus has hired assassin duelists to quickly annihilates the participants to decrease from 80 stars chips to 40, so it can have 4 finalists, this tournament is already rigged, wait there is more...
That is it's true purpose for the tournament being rigged is to force Dark Yugi on an official match with Pegasus so he could win against Dark Yugi and get Kaiba Corp, poor Yugi and "Dark Yugi" forcefully involved in this mess, and there is still more...

That's pretty much it, Pegasus besides being a terrible a tournament host, in fact in how terrible of tournament host he is in not providing basic needs like food, bunk beds or sleeping bags, the ones who all star ships leaves the island on boat instead of the same ship they came from, he doesn't give the impression he is stingy at all...
Thanks player killer of "Darkness" for being captain obvious, no one realised that at all 😒, as for prize money, like I have said before, this tournament is rigged by the host himself and he is pretty lazy to give the prize and send player killers if they defeat Dark Yugi or Yugi first then is the other contestants so that more skilled players arise...all because so he doesn't have to give the prize money to whoever reaches 1st place even though he can easily give it...Click "Read More" below to continue reading:

Watching Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - (Episodes watched: 118)_Thoughts
As you can see from the title, I have gone through half of the series over all, but still missing 62 episodes, since I watch 4 episodes each time, so how I advance is a bit steady at a time I feel comfortable to watch, so it can be sometimes very slow...
So far from what I have seen, I must say YGO GX is the weakest, I have yet to watch Zexal fully to be sure, it's decent specially now when things are getting interesting, in other words, the series had a sloppy start with some potential, I think is ridiculous it has schools to teach how to duel as one of it's subjects.
As for plot, It's very easy to tell when the plot is moving and when isn't, the episodes that isn't are usually clear that they're fillers and they're terrible episode fillers, they are rarely funny for me and just plain irritating, silly and random...NAS writers keep increasing my hatred for you (I still hold grudge against you with the mess you did in last season of YGO 5D's)
Another thing, the dialogues, sometimes feels forceful or try too hard to make it interesting, cool and intense, even the plot doesn't runaway from this, yes, the plot, I think it can be forceful at times, but not always.
The characters are the best part of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, they have a lot of potential, but the potential is wasted many times, focusing too much on Yuki Judai, I mean, Asuka rarely duels, Sho, Kaiser, Fubuki, and many of the duelists that appears, it's later "forgotten", the only that survive, are supportive, secondary and main characters.
I think the animation is a bit lazy, it's very stagnant, it doesn't decrease quality but doesn't increase either.
I may have sounded too harsh on the series, but that's how I view, but HEY, I'm enjoying watching, it's in season 3 that I'm starting to enjoy it more...

Blog News: Some Changes in the blog and download links
Hellos!!
It has been a long time since last time I have wrote here in this blog...
Busy years, one of them were games investment and small project that didn't work the way I'd wish to, so I wanna take a break on this one from games...
I'm sorry for being in a hiatus for a long time, so I'll continue where I left off.
This is when I'll announce a few changes on this blog! the download links have been changed, no need to worry about passwords downloads, must have been annoying, right? so you're downloading in cbr files.
Now the scans, it will change, from scanning my print YGO mangas, damaged them a bit, specially volume 8 duelist, so I'll change the platform... they will be digital manga from 9 and to the last volume, I don't know about Yu-Gi-Oh! R...I will see about that...
another thing, I'm finally watching Yu-Gi-Oh! GX but subbed, I finally could find all complete japanese with english subs to download, because it was hard over the years, now I can catch up efficiently... I'm on the 3rd season, almost half way through of the season, now as for my thoughs on it so far will posted next post.
