* WriteWhatYouKnow: If Takahashi's themes and moods he presents are to be indicated, his content sheds light on some of Japan's less affable aspects of life, including how HighSchoolIsHell and society's unscrupulous and exploitative side of things. A chapter in the initial ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' manga had Yugi win by default against an abusive teacher; it should be noted that Takahashi had an incident in high school in which a teacher caught him in class drawing comics and compared him to a defecating machine. Kaiba is also said to have been based on an extremely vain card gamer he heard of from his friends, and it wouldn't be of surprise that some of the antagonists of the day were the same in this regard as well. On the brighter side of things, Takahashi's love of gaming in general was a heavy focus as it was his main hobby.
