Thoughts and Observations of Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga Series Masterpost Updated Ver.1


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).

This is one of the new posts which will be added to the analysis of the manga series regarding the first 7 volumes, for example, in the first half (volumes 1-3), it will be consisted of 3 posts dedicated to the episodic chapters and and the arcs which domains the first 7 volumes (same will be applied to the 2nd half, but the main arcs will 1 post extra, such 1-3 about Shadi will be around 2 posts with 2 episodic arcs right before volume 4 where Death-T starts...
Plus I had and still has to re-do the whole panels ensembles photoshop thing because I lost everything I have made progress on the SSD that became broken, it made me cry a lot, I was so close finishing the panels ensembles too, I was in the last volume...all that hard work to waste and having to re-do it...

So it's going to take awhile, as the first post dedicated solely dedicated to episodic arc, the plot summary to cover the essentials of these episodic arcs which is about three from chapter 2 to chapter 4.
Update (12/06/2020): I finally finished this post, sorry it took so long, only recently I have completed my LV5 specialised/training course with the internship now is only missing to get the diploma, but the process takes time, no study and no essays anymore to take away my ygo blog time focus, it will take time to recover my previous pace.


Plot Summary:

Chap.2 - Lying Eyes
Jounouchi and Yugi recently becoming friends, Jounouchi tells about a pervy video with censored bits as they're heading to school, when they arrive to their destination they see a TV van at the front of the entrance of their school, Jounouchi and Yugi suspect of a possibility of a star at school, Yugi approaches the window of the front seat on the left, Yugi discovers is a one-way mirror (or glass), so you can't see anything on the inside, but the one on the other side is a reporter, notices Yugi as he approaches the window and decides he will be the target of his reportage with the theme of bullying, he orders his assistant director (A.D.) to play as bully as an act on Yugi, he went to look for him and find him.
Yugi and Jounouchi are discussing about the TV van in front of the school with Anzu, Jounouchi becomes stubborn about a star in school, Yugi gets worried, someone approaches him, the A.D. pretends to be a student as he talks with Yugi and lies about a star to lure him behind the gym to punch and kick him while being filmed, Jounouchi catch up, but can't do anything because of the camera filming and the director, so Dark Yugi/Atem takes over, challenges the director to a game of dice, the director loses and receives a penalty game where he sees everything censored.

Chap.3 - Hard Beat!
It starts with Yugi attempt in thinking positively when going into the bus, he meets one of his classmates, Hanasaki who ignored him and one of the students and same year but the class next to his, Sozoji threatens him in selling tickets for his live show despite of many witnesses that is torture to your eardrums that you become sick, Yugi can't bring himself to tell Jounouchi he is trouble neither sell to Anzu because he doesn't want to subject her to this situation, he almost goes to sell to Hanasaki but he holds back then Hanasaki comes to him to sell Yugi 5 tickets, then Yugi offers himself to sell Hanasaki's tickets and leaves, but Sozoji watched everything from behind, Hanasaki becomes next victim of his karaoke.
Then the live show comes and Yugi came alone, he gets tortured for not selling any tickets, then Sozoji reveals Hanasaki has been fallen victim, because of this, Dark Yugi takes over and challenges Sozoji to a shadow game, Sozoji loses with his penalty being by listening his beating heart sound loudly...

Chap.4 - Jailbreak
A dangerous criminal breaks out of prison with a gun and the next day,Yugi and Jounouchi talk about the new burger fast food restaurant that just opened, Burger World and thinking of going there, as Anzu hears this and warns them there has been rumours about food intoxication and reminds them about the news regarding a dangerous criminal as fugitive with a gun from whom the school advived to go straight home once they leave school...then she leaves...Yugi and Jounouchi discuss the recent behaviour of Anzu being kinda unusual and decide to investigate, the results were that Anzu was working part-time at Burger World to save money to study abroad to become a professional dancer.
The criminal on the news enters the Burger World and takes Anzu as the main hostage with cloth to cover her eyes, the criminal (fugitive prisoner) calls on Yugi as "the wussy little one" to bring vodka and cigarettes, Anzu worries being Yugi and tells him not to come in order to protect him, then the criminal slaps to shut her up, Dark Yugi takes over while challenging him to a game about using one finger, Dark Yugi wins, because of the criminal own clumsiness and stubbornness, he dies on fire...when Anzu removes the cloth and sees the normal Yugi.


Key Points:


Chapter 2 - Lying Eyes

01.png 02.png
Awww Yugi already considers as special treasure, he kinda did before he even completed, I guess for believing that completing the puzzle made his wish come true, hmmmmmmm, to me he made his friends on his own but he isn't aware, what his grandfather said is correct regarding the shadow powers, but as we have seen in last chapter, he doesn't remember anything when Dark Yugi took over...
From their interactions, you can tell it passed a few days since they became friends, the fact that he is calling Yugi pervy as a high school student but also at the same time as a little kid since his appearance and behavior looks like a child.
Update (14/08/2019): I'm not the only one who thinks Yugi's wish was accomplished on his own, I think the readers can agree on that, Dark Yugi/Atem thinks the same because it's implied he has vague memories from the moment right before Yugi completed the puzzle, remember the most important piece, Jounouchi picked up and given back from being moved by Yugi's gesture trying to protect him and Honda and as Yugi was building the puzzle at the time...probably he only remembers the few hours before the puzzle was completed and by then his wish became reality before the puzzle was completed.
