I think Tristan is the only major Yu-Gi-Oh cast member to not have gone through heavy suffering of some kind. Yugi was bullied daily and had no friends, Yami Yugi had no memories of himself, friends or anyone, Joey had the situation with Serenity, growing up on the streets, and his parents being separated, Tea had the whole Yugi/Yami love triangle that could only end in tears, Seto and Mokuba suffered because of Gozaburo, the Ishtars suffered because of Marik’s father, Ryou suffered because of Yami Bakura, Duke suffered because of his father, Pegasus lost Cecelia, Priest Seto lost Kisara and had his father turn evil, Thief King Bakura lost his village, Dartz’s followers lost loved ones, Noah lost his body and his status, Mai grew up lonely and suffered in Yami Marik’s shadow games, and even villains like Arkana lost loved ones.
Meanwhile the worst Tristan got was the occasional body-swap in the anime and having an awful nephew in the manga. He really helped ground the series with a sense of normalcy XD;
The Protomen enhanced my life.Except for the time he randomly turned into a jerk during the Waking the Dragons arc.
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!That one part where he rather madly told Joey that Mai was pure evil and thus not worth saving. I know people weren't too keen on Tea's friendship speeches, but isn't that going a bit too far in the other direction? :S
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!Well, Tea also thought he went a tad overboard.
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!Ohh. I thought it was a character in the show. ^_^;;
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!I'm happy for Joey's voice actor ^^ It's really happy news.
Also, I found an amazing cosplay of Yami Bakura that had the entire Destiny Board above them.

scrawlers posted interesting stuff about the changes Viz made to the Yu-Gi-Oh manga in translation! I knew of some stuff, like Mai’s family name being changed inconsistently and harsher swear words being replaced with punctuation, but a lot of it is new to me.

Oh yeah, my brother has some of both the original Japanese and the English Viz translations of the manga, and he complains about the English version all the time. And then when I say, "Man, I wish there was a better English translation," he'll say, "Why? I just read the Japanese version."
Lucky jerk. I mean, I could totally learn Japanese if I wanted to. I just... don't want to. Yeah.
I've got Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash, Spyro, and Paper Mario fanfics.Ooh, the Darkside of Dimensions trailer music is out.

I had a thought about that recently. It occurred to me that it's interesting that Tristan would so readily write off Mai as "beyond help," when he lives in a show that has a lot of Defeat Means Friendship and Heel Face Turns.
I just reorganized the YMMV page.
Do that many people really hate Anzu? I don't see her talked about much online, but she is labeled here as The Scrappy.
Dub!Anzu was most likely every Yu-Gi-Oh! fan's introduction to friendship speeches and Die for Our Ship culture. I don't know if she's still hated though.

Kaiba's so rich he makes hair dye from money.
