pretty cool, huh? from the style, I can bet was Kazuki Takahashi himself or one of the artist(I'm pretty sure the art was the author)

Thoughts&Observations | Mangá Vol.8-11 Part 2 (On Board to Duelist Kingdom)
NOTICE: You must have read manga Yugioh! Duelist 1. (if you don't have, you can read through my scan in the YGO Media, the first volume maybe some blurry in a corner and some cut in words, but it's readable, it becomes less blurry)
we stopped at some good amount of observation on Jounouchi character development.
Plot Summary:
After school, Yugi arrives home and finds an envelope stuck in the door with cards inside...the gang appears at the entrance and Jounouchi reveals he also received a videotape of 8mm, asks if he can watch at Yugi's home since he doesn't have VCR, Yugi explains news about his situation about 5 cards he received as invitation cards saying the location being on a island called Duelist Kingdom and the meet up being at the Domino Pier to be on a ship, in order to the presented Tournament's location with some basic rules in other cards plus two honor cards (King's left (it's a blank card) and King's right (the prize money)).
After catching up with the recent news about the tournament, they watch Jounouchi's videotape, they were worried that it would be Pegasus but in the end, the person Jounouchi wasn't expecting to appear being his little sister Shizuka, she explains why she sent a video and her time to see his brother coming to a close, Jounouchi is feeling very down with this news and explains their situation, confesses his frustration on thinking he is not a good brother, then Dark Yugi takes over and cheers him up by giving one of the stars that came with glove from the package, so Jounouchi could have a fighting chance to help his little sister.
The day to come to meet at Domino Pier, Yugi and the gang arrive and and see a huge ship that will take them to the island of Duelist Kingdom, they see many contestants including the top and runner up in Japan and meet for the first time a beautiful woman, who is also a contestant and most of the boys (except Ryou Bakura) are amazed by her beauty, she introduces herself as Mai Kujaku and express her interest in seeing Yugi's skills for herself in the tournament...
The whole gang smoothly boards the ship, Yugi gets the chance to talk with the two top contestants from the national championship tournament, Haga and Ryuzaki,Jounouchi complains how everyone has to sleep common room with not even bunk beds, he is not the only one, Mai starts complain about how come there isn't a room for lady at least to take a shower with later revealed that the two top contestants from the national tournament gets suite rooms, so Mai uses her charms by getting closer to Ryuzaki, the runner up and is escorted to his room by Ryuzaki.
As Yugi and Haga continue their conversation then Haga brings his curiousity about Yugi's deck, specifically Exodia The Forbidden one and throws the 5 pieces of Exodia to the ocean and Jounouchi jumps to the ocean in attempt to save Exodia's cards but in vain, Haga leaves laughing claiming that now no one is a threat to him in the competition, Yugi launches lifebuoy to help Jounouchi back to the ship, while with Mai and Ryuzaki, she challenged him to a mini-game to see who could stay in the room and she won, she got his room.
Key Points:
I have to say, why didn't he had given the cards inside the package? It's a bit weird and creepy doing this way, specially seeing a sort of private or spy to leave the envelope and checking if Yugi picks up the cards, let's say is a bit unnecessary 😑, I understand is also a way to show Pegasus pays close attention in not just Dark Yugi but also Yugi.

The envelope given 5 cards, with the information about the tournament (the day, location, prizes), even though one of them is suspicious, such as the "Honor of the King" cards of Right and Left, the "Honor of the King's Right" being the prize money and "The Honor of the King's Left" being empty with "???", it's not difficult to guess what is for and it hints is not something good and shady, but who has saw the animated series and read the manga knows and who doesn't, knows well, what it is...

Thoughts&Observations| Mangá vol.8-11 Part 1 (Duelist Kingdom prologue)
If you don't want spoilers of the mangá, read scans I'm sharing in YGO Media (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist 1-8 (8-15) or buy the mangá.
If you already have read it, you can go on....
Even though, I will be talking about the story, but the main focus will be the characters (Yami Yugi, Jounouchi and Kaiba specially), it will be divided in 3 or 4 parts.
UPDATE: In case you may not noticed, I have added a few key points and mostly remained unchanged during this polishing phase of the my analysis of the manga.
Plot Summary:
The beginning of Duelist Kingdom Arc, the gang at school with Jounouchi and Anzu playing Duel Monsters/Magic and Wizards as the rest of the gang and classmates watches them playing, Anzu has a very smooth win, Jounouchi is bothered because it isn't the first time he loses at this game, so Jounouchi asks for Yugi's help to improve in the game by hanging out at Yugi's home.
When the gang arrives Yugi's home, his grandfather is closing the shop, so he can go watch the Japan tournament finals of Duel Monsters/Magic and Wizards and he tells Yugi received an anonymous package addressed to Yugi, so they save it for later because they don't want to miss watching the tournament between the two finalists being Insector Haga and Ryuzaki, it ends with Insector Haga victory, as they introduce Pegasus to bring the 1st place trophy to Insector Haga, the creator of the TCG, he invites the two finalists to his own tournament that he is hosting.
They come back to the anonymous package opening it, inside it there is a mini-videotape, a glove, two stars, they put the cassete in the videotape player, Pegasus shows up and challenges Yugi to a duel in form of a shadow game, Dark Yugi immediately takes over to protects his host, the duel doesn't go well for the most part since it seemed Pegasus could read which card he was going to play, when Dark Yugi was starting to figure out a new way that could increase his chances in winning the duel, but it had time limit, Dark Yugi as he was close to win the duel, it reached the time limit, making a Pegasus's win and to force Dark Yugi to participate the tournament he is hosting by taking Yugi's grandfather soul as hostage inside a tv.
The next day, the gang are at school discussing about the recent events regarding the recent events and Yugi had been sensing Dark Yugi have been feeling bad, Jounouchi tries to cheer him up by screaming at the puzzle to not be dwelling on it, Yugi senses he needs a bit of lonesome time of fresh air...so Yugi goes to the rooftop of the school and Dark Yugi taking over looking at the scenery and reflecting on his duel and Sugoroku being held hostage and gaining his determination and motivated to duel against Pegasus again.
Key Points:
The story starts Yugi and co. at school playing Duel Monsters on recess, Jounouchi is trying to get the hang of it but no success, as Yugi check his deck, indicating the problem of Jounouchi dueling, his deck is solely made of monsters cards and tells him is important to have other kind of cards such as magic and trap cards to be able to create combos with other cards and so on which are important strategies in winning the game, Jounouchi begs Yugi to teach him more about Duel Monsters so he can become a better player, it's something to give credit to Jounouchi despite being implied that he usually loses the game with anyone but doesn't feel discouraged so instead he tries to look at ways to improve and asks the game expert, Yugi...
The other thing I want to point out is Anzu playing the TCG, it shows that she plays once in awhile and from the looks of it, she could become a very skilled player if she wanted to, since by this time Jounouchi's deck didn't hold any spell or trap cards back then and Anzu won against him easily and with a spell card combo.
After School, Yugi and his friends hangout at Yugi's home, to watch Duel Monsters Japan national championship final, to decide who is Japan's champion, while start watching it on TV, Jounouchi expresses his opinion that Yugi could easily win (it's true), but Yugi decided he will enter in a tournament to duel Kaiba but this time fair and square, that's the curious partm we don't know if he is speaking for Dark Yugi or himself, but I think is himself but senses Dark Yugi wants it too, and he says is his dream, around Duelist Kingdom might be but as a gamer and someone who could push him to the limits since he usually easily wins against everyone he plays with.
As Jounouchi still hasn't forgiven him for Death-T, it's funny because he will hold up to that grudge for a long time xD.
We get informed Kaiba still hasn't recover from his state, in another words, he was still reassembling his shattered puzzle of his heart, also interesting to note that Yugi did constantly visited him too and in the hospital? Which makes me wonder because later we see that it doesn't look like one...

This is when Pegasus was first introduced, he is presented as celebrity and also referred as genius game designer, I always think "genius" is going a little far in praising him, nonetheless still pretty good game designer, later we find out his inspirations in designing the card game.
