I always love this scene. Yami’s calmer in the manga though. And man does it suck that he didn’t wear the jacket like a cape in the manga too!
I appreciate this interaction.
Even while kidnapped and thrown into the murder dungeon of a masked psychopath who wants to saw off his legs Atem still feels the need to tell him "Bro, you're going to ruin your Yu-Gi-Oh!™ cards doing that!"
I was kinda thinking Yugi was actually the both of them.But this applies too~
It’s not difficult to find the roots of Seto Kaiba’s cold and brutal ideology, but Atem acts as both an ally and a foil to Seto with a firm belief in the power of unity. Why does he stand on that belief so proudly? It’s said that the power of the Millennium Puzzle is unity. But more than that, what does Atem actually have? He doesn’t have an identity or a home. What he does have are bonds and people. Seto tells Atem that the only thing you can rely on is yourself, but Atem doesn’t have a full sense of self for most of the story. And by default, he must rely on Yugi to exist. Yugi’s warmth and friendships might be a kind of model for Atem in how he relates to the world, while Seto’s stunted sociality and his thirst for competition are familiar and close to Atem, and so Atem becomes a bridge between Yugi’s ideology and Seto’s ideology. And that’s why he has such a deep connection with these two characters.
Atem’s face is so pleasant~ I could look at him all day~
More Yu-Gi-Oh! DSoD stuff

I can’t deny he looks HOT AS FUCK in the last picture!
atem being protective of kaiba..
This scene......This SEXY AS HELL scene....Reminds me of that scene in The Graduate with Mrs.Robinson putting her lgs up, and Ben going,"Mrs.Robinson, you're trying to seduce me."
Both are laughing, both are talking about alcohol, both Mrs.Robinson and and Jim said,"Like what?" In a very seductive way~!
Both Spock and Ben are nervous. Spock puts his hands on his hip, while Ben circles around in panic.
Oh my goodness, Jim Kirk. You'll be the death of me.
this genuinely makes me so insane. kirk speaks and suddenly spock looks like hes just snapped out of a trance. fucking looking down to avoid eye contact. could he be any gayer rn. im gonna punch a wall

BBQSHIPPING!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
My otp = yami yugi/setting people on fire
This is officially being called bbqshipping and I love it
I HALF EXPECTED HIM TO WINK TOO AHA!!!!
Man is that thumbs up at the end cute
Episode 30, Part 2, the actual thrilling conclusion of Mai and Yami’s duel!
Now that’s Yami’s accepted his weakness and determined to face Mai without his prideful fear of losing, he gets all cocky again. Aw yeah, the king is back!
Mai’s got an almost invincible strategy in place and Yami’s got very little, so he … bluffs like crazy! It’s amazing! He’s so cocky as he tells her to attack him that she thinks he’s trying to goad her into attacking and that his face-down card is a Trap, but it isn’t!
This is actually super clever because last episode, when talking about people’s strengths and weaknesses, Mai admits she’s very cautious and can be too cautious at times. Yami has never been accused of being too cautious, I can’t imagine, so it’s nice to show the reverse; over-caution being her weakness and one of his strengths, since the whole duel is about him learning his weakness and one of her strengths (the ability to face loss gracefully).
Mai has now put together her hella awesome lesbian punk rock trio, The Harpie Ladies, and Yami manages to get in the Swords of Sealing Light before they claw him to death and eat his eyes (I presume).
Jounouchi, meanwhile, is getting tired of Anzu’s constant slut-shaming. (Seriously, she’s not too bad in this episode, but generally speaking, Anzu becomes reeeeeeally judgey in Mai’s presence.)
Oh, but it’s been a while since Yami’s come up with some utter bullshit that is no way written on these cards but is apparently an effect.
Yes. The Harpies’ Battle Pheromones, which are totally a thing, only work on monsters who are gendered male.
Yu-Gi-Oh!, I say this with my love, but that is the dumbest fucking shit I have ever heard coming from your motherfucking bullshit made-up-on-the-fly card game. There are definitely monsters that are not gendered one way or another. I would argue that Kuriboh is not gendered, but it frigging works on him so apparently he’s attracted to humanoid women WHICH IS GROSS. What else is gross? So is Summoned Skull. Know what else is gross? Now I kinda ship Dark Magician with the Harpie(s). THANKS OBAMA.
Moving on.
Yami has a moment of doubt when he needs to pull a card, but Yugi comes to help him.
It’s not spelled out on screen, but Yugi implied that he was afraid of Yami when the Kaiba thing happened and Yami reached out to him when Mai made her point, and I think this is Yugi forgiving him for being mildly murderous. And Yami is willing to ask for help, now that he sees how strong Yugi is, in his own way.
Speaking of strength. Or, more accurately, endurance.
YOU HEARD HIM LADIEEEEEZ. Kinda expected him to wink at Mai at the end of that sentence, not gonna lie…
He plays Kuriboh and Mai helpfully underlines for me why I think she’s like Kaiba.
Yep. That is a 100% Guaranteed KaibaCorp Approved Kuriboh Comment.
It all comes down to Yami’s next draw (of course, this is Yu-Gi-Oh! after all) and Yugi comes to help again, and brings the gang along with him.
Look at those cuties.
Yami enacts his dark ritual…
(This show is more occult than D&D and Harry Potter put together, where is the “Save the Children from Satanic Card Games” movement excuse me?)
… and destroys the Harpie Pet Dragon, leaving the Harpies open to destruction from his … witchcraft.
Q: Is Pegasus still behaving inappropriately towards the teenagers he lured onto his private island through coercion?
A: Oooooh!
Mai forfeits the duel because she has nothing that can beat Yami left, and she doesn’t want to watch her Harpies be destroyed. It’s a different kind of honour than Yami’s or Kaiba’s, who would always fight to the last turn and the last drop of holographic blood, no matter how inevitable the defeat, but it’s honour nonetheless, that she has such compassion for her monsters.
She walks away and doesn’t stop when Yami calls after her, until he says “Thank you”.
He’s big enough to admit his weakness and to thank her for coming down hard on him. He recognises it was done from a place of respect and that he needed to be shaken out of his fearful pride and arrogance.
Yep, I can definitely see them being firm fuckbuddies friends.
I LOVE this picture of him~!!!
Those eyes, I could stare at them forever~
The Man with No Name
I never seen rivals in anime so openly go on a date~🤣🤣
I love how Kaiba’s just casually waiting outside the booth, like nbd just Seto Kaiba leaning on a fuckin’ pole.
Damn….the way the camera zoom out and showing him shuffling those cards….that’s such a turn on~
