Yu-Gi-Oh!: July 2018

Since there is many posts of my analysis over the course of 5 years and 5 months, I think is around hundreds... I'm starting the process of organization, re-arrangement, reformulation of most posts...

As I re-upload images to the currently image host I'm using in the missing Battle City Arc posts, DDM, then will be Duelist Kingdom and lastly the early which more episodic arcs, as I do this, I will keep post links, including updated ones, but only in this post, you will be able to tell when is new updates...The orders of the links of the posts will start from Memory World Arc and upwards, the new ones will always be above the previous posted links.

You might wonder why I'm troubling myself with this, it's because before I go into analysis of Transcend Game One Shot and Dark Side of Dimensions movie, I want my analysis of the manga to be polished first since my manga analysis posts will be constantly mentioned, specially the movie (so yeah, the Transcend Game and the movie Dark Side of Dimension is literally the expansion of the manga).

(The next updates will be coming as I complete the "editor cut" and restructure them of Duelist Kingdom Posts then the Early Volumes

Dungeon Dice Monsters Arc:

Battle City Arc:

Memory World Arc:

It feels a bit surreal this is the last one about my analysis of the manga series overall, I mean it is about 38 volumes and took me around 5 years and 5 months...

So it feels pretty strange, it's the ending as well, expect long texts in some key points, even though I have reached the ending with this project, but is not completely over, since I have to rearrange the posts where it doesn't have the structure "Plot Summary and Key Points", the early Duelist Volumes and early Volumes and reupload panels that is not from my current image host that I frequently, but the early volumes will get the most changes since the early volumes are mostly episodic arcs, there will be one post and page dedicated to these updates.

Plot Summary:

After Yugi won the duel, he comes to his knees as more tears falls down his face and floor, Atem approaches him while he congratulates him for his victory and they have a very important conversation about how Yugi look up to Atem and what Atem learn from Yugi...
Atem prepares himself to leave to afterlife by saying his name to the door to afterworld, one of them calls to him and the gang (including Yugi) say their goodbye to him, when Atem leaves, in his afterlife, he is greeted by his loved ones from the time he was alive (who have went to afterlife first than him)...
After the door to afterworld closes, the shrine starts to collapse including Millennium Stone Slab and the Millennium Items, after they left the shrine safe and sound, it was starting to sink that Atem now has left the living world and thinking of what they saw before the door had closed and left the shrine, reflecting about the recent events as they look at the desert they were about to leave...

Key Points:

I certainly don't censor Yugi for crying and I think is okay (I'll tell the reason why in the next key point), because the thing is, he wasn't really forced to do it, he could have chosen the easier route and selfishness by not accepting the challenge or not going with his duty at all, he could have. Remember when I mentioned before that the right thing to do is usually the hardest to do? This one was particularly very hard, but was the right thing to do by his own volition, it takes a very strong heart to accomplish what he did.

When Atem comes to congratulate him with a very gentle smile, I'm pretty sure Atem already remembers everything from before and after he died before the puzzle was solved, he must have seen Yugi growing up since Yugi was a baby (remember in previous post when he mentioned "you've grown partner!" might be hinted at that as well) and what he says in the the panel of the panels ensemble in the right...

"Stand up...The winner shouldn't be on his knees."

As Yugi tries to wipe his tears, Atem does have a point, I wouldn't say "it shouldn't" per say, he could still cry without being on his knees, a person can "look" or still stay dignified standing up crying, but the intention behind the beautifully drawn of Yugi crying was to potray how extremely hard it was for him, not really the duel but the decision into fulfilling his duty as a vessel of the pharaoh soul, what he had been holding up inside the bottle coming up since the moment he knew he couldn't avoid anymore the fact Atem was a soul of someone who died and had to leave one day...
