Yu-Gi-Oh In General

I was watching videos from the recent game adaptation. Where Tea asked Kaiba when he's going for graduation. Only to realize that yeah he is the same age as them. It's something you forgot with how many insane things he does.

Tea is also older than Seto (by two months), she was born in August while he was born in October.

And Tristan was born in April. Of the whole group: Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Tea, Kaiba, and Bakura, Kaiba is the youngest of all of them. The order goes Joey, Tristan, Yugi, Tea, Bakura, Seto.

That feels so wrong to me.

Huh.
All this time I thought Kaiba was at least two years older than the rest of the cast—

I have a faint memory of Mai claiming to be psychic because she always guessed each card that she drew correctly, though Joey later learns that she put perfume on all her cards and figured out the fragrance for each card. That...raises a lot of questions from me:

• A: How are the cards not getting ruined from the perfume? Isn't perfume those liquid particles that you spray?
• B: Shouldn't the fragrances be mixed up in that pile of cards?
• C: Considering how many cards there are in the series, is there also a HUGE different number of scents to memorize as well?
• D: Isn't this technically cheating? Like that biker dude or whatever his name is, he had a mechanism hidden in his sleeve that swapped out cards, and I vaguely remember he got booted from the tournament after Pegasus found out.

But this is all decades ago so of course I could be wrong on any of this.

for D. It not technically cheating it is outright cheating and I think was called out as such.

For the cardpool. I'm certain there were a few hundred card at the time compared to today's 10000+ amount and she is only running 40 cards in her deck.

As fir whether the cards would be ruined that is a big question. YGO cards seem a lot more durable in the anime (kaiba ripping a BEWD aside)

Cards in the anime and manga are so strong they can be used as improvised weapons without damaging them.

Best part about that scene was that he was desperately hoping the card he was about to throw was just a common card that he can easily replace if it got too soaked in blood. But nope, he had to draw a Blue Eyes White Dragon; to his credit, he still threw it anyways to save his brother.

I really liked how the manga basically showed him going through all five stages of grief in one panel after he saw what he had drawn.

There was also a scene in the anime where Kaiba jammed a gun with a card.

I believe he only found out it was Blue Eyes after he threw it, though I agree that he probably still would have done it.

If there's anyone in the world Kaiba would do something like that for, it's Mokuba.

He definitely saw what card it was as he was throwing it. There's a couple panels while he's doing it showing him reacting to what it is and thinking "Forgive me!" Also funny as he collects the card and we see ourselves what it is he comments that "Unfortunately, my draws are just too good."

That happened in the manga too, but it was inside a helicopter and Kaiba proceeded to break the guy's finger, steal his gun, and force him and the pilot to jump out into the open ocean. And he later uses that gun when he beats Pegasus's assistant's face in with a briefcase and holds him hostage to force Pegasus into releasing Mokuba. Manga Seto didn't fuck around.

apparently wind resistance is just a silly myth

@ And even with the card on gun trick, he got PISSED at the villain for making him damage his rare card!
