Hellos!
I'm finally being able to speed up my progress on this project update old posts and bring new analysis to the early volumes, my intent is 2 posts per month, so I can be finished by July or August with Dark Side of Dimensions and it's prologue one shot.
I hope it will be this speed, which I think is the most realistic speed I can go with...
So stay safe and be careful because COVID-19 is still around!
Getting to the Plot Summary, since is the last post of Shadi's Arc.
Plot Summary:
The challenge was set and the time came for Dark Yugi at the roof of Domino University (yes, Domino as city has an university and museum, a fictional city, though), when he arrived, Shadi had everything prepared, the base rules are more or less this shadow game has 3 challenges with Anzu's life standing on plank hold through 4 ropes in hostage by 5 Ushebti statues, 4 of them are of Dark Yugi if broke weakens the hold of rope or lose all of it...and 1 of them is of Shadi and is tied to the millennium key, if Shadi's Ushebti breaks, the millennium key frees Anzu as puppet...
The 3 challenges are all in form of illusions, the first is zombie-like monsters crawling to Dark Yugi as he tries to solve the riddle given by Shadi, the 2nd challenge is Ammit holding Dark Yugi's arms where floor plaques in front of him to reflect Ammit as mirror, the first 2 challenges Dark Yugi solves it splendidly, the 3rd challenge proves to be difficult to test Dark Yugi's ruthlessness or strength of will, an illusion forms Jounouchi but how "Jounouchi" was before becoming friends with Yugi, to shake Dark Yugi's and Yugi's confidence and strength of will...which proves to be very challenging.
While Dark Yugi is facing these challenges, Jounouchi is busy to defend himself without harming too much P!Yoshimori, to a point he almost fell from the window but thanks to his excellent athletic abilities, he somehow pulls it off by holding himself to the outer wall of building as he tries to get away from the P!Yoshimori and seeing Anzu on plank in serious danger, so he tries to climb up in attempt to rescue her.
As it moves along between Jounouchi trying to reach the plank climbing up, as the only rope was holding the plank, while "Jounouchi" illusion disappears as Dark Yugi firmly believing in "Jounouchi" illusion even as an illusion, that illusion starts to disappear with his faith in Jounouchi, Shadi's Ushebti starts to weaken and the only rope holding the plank starts losing strength, the real Jounouchi on time holds the plank for as long he can while P!Yoshimori still following him, then Shadi's Ushebti breaks and millennium key slides to Anzu's hand, reverting her to normal, then Dark Yugi immediately comes to help in rescue Anzu and asks Jounouchi to pick the millennium key to touch P!Yoshimori so he can revert back to normal, somehow everyone gets safe and sound and Sugoroku already awoke catched up to them, Dark Yugi see and face Shadi, Shadi leaves the roof with parting words and giving clues to Dark Yugi...
Anzu and Jounouchi exchange whispering that they were under the impression that the "Yugi" wasn't Yugi...in order to confirm they approach "Yugi" as Dark Yugi to confirm, for a little bit was Dark Yugi when was about to turn around , when "Yugi" turns around completely, it was the Yugi who was taking over and not Dark Yugi and they start wondering if they kinda went crazy, all happy for all of them to be safe and sound as the millennium Key falls and goes back to it's owner...Shadi as he leaves the place.
Key Points:
About this scene in general, I'll say it, as "ruthless" as it sounds from Shadi, however to me is more reckless and irresponsible, because he could use illusion, one is the real Anzu and the other is an illusion, I think it would be more effective and soundly responsible...honestly he did some unnecessary set ups.
Dark Yugi here sounds more concern based on feeling responsible for her life, after all she is a childhood friend and crush of his "host" that he acts as spirit guardian, as friend and possibly thinking maybe crush on her because his "host" has a crush on her...because the romantic part at this time for me is always to I'm not sure if is the case or not, there are times seems more as friend and other times more influence of Yugi's romantic feelings for Anzu, even Yugi sometimes feels what Dark Yugi/Atem is feeling and vice-versa for being two different spirits/individuals sharing the same body.
