Introduction
Back in 2004, before the advent of Yu Gi Oh The Abridged Series, I posted a liveblog-like synopsis of the early YGO manga for the folks at Television Without Pity. It occurs to me that you folks might like to see it.
If you're only familiar with the series through the dub, or are only hearing about it for the first time now, you should be made aware that originally YGO wasn't about card games! This gives it a certain variety of plotline the later volumes lack.
As you know, I feed on your comments, so let me know you're reading this, and any potholes or bluelinks I should edit in!

Okay, this is the other chapter I distinctly remember. I have to say, I'm really enjoying your summary/spoof take on this series so far. Oh, and it's all coming back to me how Honda/Tristan wasn't a complete nobody back then. In fact, he was actually kind of badass. The Hell happened to that?

The total takeover of Duel Monsters (tm). Since all situations were now required to be resolved by playing a children's card game, that Honda didn't play...sucks to be him.
Annoying though that Anzu, who started as a better card player than Jonouchi, never got to develop her skills.

Pffff. Ever thought about becoming a comedian? This reads like the abridged series of the early manga.
Let's see, what comes next? Is it the 'Joey/Jonouchi was in a gang' chapter?

Nope. Honda's love life.
