Author’s Notes: Yay!! New episodes rule infinitely! Oh, just a note for those of you who write insanely long reviews… They’re nice to read, but if you don’t want to say something about every little thing I say, don’t feel like you have to. Really. If you want to that’s fine, but ONLY if you want to! Geez, with the amount of time some of you spend reviewing this, you’d think you had as much time to waste as ME. ^_^
As usual, go read my other stories! They’re good!


Rantings of a Rabid Yu-Gi-Oh Fan


Everyone: To find a personality test, if you haven’t already, go to Google or your search engine of choice and type in “Yu-Gi-Oh personality test.” It should get you plenty of results.

Everybody who’s seen the Japanese version: Okay, I keep changing my mind about this, so I’ll ask your advice. Is the subtitled version worth buying? What are its good and bad points?

MaidenoftheMoon: Oh no, not politically incorrect! *gasp* Oh wait, the dubbers are really like that. Oh well. Maybe Cartoon Network will pick it up!
Yami Malik’s face IS freaky… I’ve seen some clips of him, and it’s weird. When parts of his face stretch out and then go back, is that Malik trying to break out? That’s what it looked like to me.
Grr…. Dumb “church people”! They whine about everything! These things are NOT the root of all evil, they do NOT come from the devil, and they ARE NOT the devil! Get over it and stop seeing evil everywhere you look! OH those people bug me so much!! Heh… Sorry about that. That’s one of the few things that REALLY annoys me.

Clow Hatter: Hmm… I’ll have to read that some time. If I ever have any free time again! *groan*

Starr: Heh… I tried to make myself an Ankh, but it really looks bad… It’s a coat hanger with duct tape around it. ^_^
I saw Millenium Power’s “How Embarrassing.” It’s funny. ^_^
Actually, I know Bonz will be back in Battle City. I think Sid and Zigor will too, but I’m not sure.

JessiChi: I know Malik’s shirtless a good part of the time in the original, but for a while there was some question of whether they’d keep that in the dub. I don’t see what else they could have done, though…
Yeah, everyone who wears a jacket has it flare out a lot…
No no, I noticed those things before. I’m just commenting on them now.

Kai(ba)s girl: After Fox Kids got rid of Digimon I decided it was my duty to boycott them. So I haven’t watched anything from them since Digimon was booted.
And Yugi rules too!

Shadowwolf: Wow, what an interesting personality you have… *edges away* ^_^
Yami Bakura DID talk a lot. Most of it was unnecessary stuff, too! Dumb dubbers…

Rayemars: Tea IS a token female. How annoying. I have a friend who has a friend she calls “token black guy.” It’s funny. ^_^
No, I haven’t gotten an English Shonen Jump yet… But I will soon!

Ayrrie: Thanks for the site! Pokeorder only had one of the cards I was looking for, but I’m going to just draw them instead so people get an idea of what they look like. And because Scale looks SO cute with the Wretched Ghost of the Attic on his head… ^_^
Eheheh… Sorry about that… That was kind of the eye rant, wasn’t it?
Actually, Yugi DID play a Rude Kaiser against Seto. Or someone. But he played one! Joey has one too.
Yes, I know it’s spelled Marik. I’ll get used to that soon, I’m sure…
To your numerous “who cares?” and “It’s just a cartoon” and such… I know I know, but if I don’t nitpick as much as possible, I have nothing to say…

SomeIdiot: I yelled at the Sock Party commercial too!

Lily22: In the Japanese version, Para and Dox were named another split word (in Japanese of course) that means Maze or Labyrinth or something. I forget what it was, though.
No, I don’t hate Tea for friendship. I’m all for friendship, it’s a good thing, there should be more of it around. But I don’t like how MUCH she talks. People who don’t know when to shut up REALLY annoy me.

Firefly: You’re right, when Joey was getting the big flying machine in the virtual game, the Time Roulette never happened! When in doubt, blame the dubbers.
Actually, I already found a nice creepy Slayers wallpaper I’m quite attached to… But I wouldn’t mind seeing the wallpaper you made!

Kaiba’sgirl: I guess if Seto kicked EXACTLY the right point on the chair he’d be okay. I bet he had to practice for that, though!
Hmm, maybe his briefcase levitates too…

Seena: I didn’t see your review until Tuesday night… I was wondering what happened to you!
Good to know that you don’t HATE anyone… But either you’re always really pissed at Yami or reading my rants does that to you! Ooh, your black-eye information impresses me…
Actually, Pandora’s Dark Magician has completely different colors. I’ve seen pictures, but I don‘t remember… I think he’s got silver hair and red armor, but I may be wrong.
Maybe Marik’s voice will get better with time… Tristan’s did… Joey’s did too.
Hmm… I think you’re right. The series is much more interesting with Bakura in it. I started watching because of the Dark Magician, but you’re right anyway. ^_^
Oh I don’t know, I can see Pegasus giving Mokuba that hat. I think Mokuba would get mad and throw it out the window, though. I think they’re keeping Marik shirtless.
Pegasus just keeps Croquet around to torment, of course!
The first time Seto got mind-crushed, it was good for him! So maybe another would bring him to his senses again.
To laugh evilly, relax and FEEL the evilness. Practice Pegasus’s or Yami Bakura’s first, but don’t make it forced. When you have it right, you’ll really be able to feel the evil bubbling up inside you. ^_^ Yep, I practice my evil laughter all the time. It’s fun!
Yes, you must get a Playstation! I sold mine over the summer to get a PS2. Had I but known, I… would have been too cheap to send it to you anyway! Mwahahahaha!
I’ve never had this long of a Christmas break before… Don’t know if I can stand being at home for that long! I’ll still try to update some, but I won’t be able to as often. And Shadi already forced me into putting a hold on Three In One Combo for a while…
I’ll check the Sun Coast and comic stores and book stores around here for Shonen Jump.

KingJames: Ah, thank you for that clarification. It did sound like “his,” though. I just found my closed captioning. ^_^ The Living Arrow can do anything Yami wants it to!

High Crystal Guardian: I have heard SO many conflicting reports on who does whose voices! It’s so confusing! They must switch every other episode or something!

Lori Kimaya: No, green-haired Seto and Noa are two different people. Green-haired Seto was just regular Seto in the first season. They changed his hair and eyes for some reason. Noa is Seto’s adoptive father’s dead son who he replaced with Seto (and Mokuba). He’ll be back later to give Seto trouble. Nasty little kid…
The commercials are stiff because Kids WB can’t just make more shots of anime characters for them. They don’t draw them. THANK RA FOR THAT!!
Hmm, I’ll have to find that magazine. I must see this!
Yeah, they always seem to think that Yugi and Yami, and Ryou and Bakura, are single people. Stupid dubbers!

Seashell: Don’t worry, the episodes you missed were repeats. If you missed today’s though, there was a new one!

KaTyA: Yes, embrace your inner obsessed fangirl. ^_^ I denied mine for a long time, but I’ve given up. I’m an obsessed fangirl…
All pairings with Tea sicken me. I’ve tried to read some, I really go out of my way to give them a chance. But they’re just so WRONG!
Yes Yami makes puns sometimes, but they’re so dumb! And when the others are laughing at something that’s actually funny, he’s usually just standing there looking serious unless he puts Yugi out.

Anubis: Yami DID tell Seto in the Virtual World that he’d like to be friends. Maybe he was in a bad mood from having to be with Tea all day!
I’ve eaten squid before. I was little and didn’t like it much, but it was fun to play with. I think I’ve had octopus too, but I’m not sure…
Looks like Seto’s after just what Pegasus wanted, making the monsters on the cards as real as possible.

JaguarKitty2006: Oh no! Be careful, they might even poke you to death! Because of course, they’re not holding anything when they point!
It seemed to me like Bakura gradually took over Ryou before his duel with Yami. I could be wrong, though.

Jessica Raptor: Yes, the Dark Magician is SO YUMMY!!! And hot and beautiful and wonderful and GREAT!

Mayhem’s BrainChyld: Malik and his yami confuse me on a few levels. Hopefully I’ll understand more when I see more.
Hmm… I was thinking about this earlier, and I think either Seto or Honda is the tallest of the regular main characters. I’m not sure how tall Malik and Isis are, though.
Yeah, everyone DOES play Duel Monsters. I can see Yugi’s grandpa playing because he owns the game shop and Pegasus because he made the modern version of the game, but I don’t know about some of the others…
Yes, bad fan fiction annoys me too! Hope I don’t write any… Eep… And it also annoys me when people are convinced they’re right, and they’re NOT. In my story about Shadi, the Ankh, and the Scales, I recently had a reviewer inform me that Shadi owned the Millennium Key, “not a Ankh!!!!!!” That bothers me. If you’re going to criticize, make sure you know what you’re talking about first!
When I said I’d like the Eye, I didn’t mean in my head. To hold in my hand, maybe. And I’d still rather have the Ankh.
I knew Malik knitted, but I didn’t realize Seto liked to bake! He does?
Long reviews are the best kind, and they are rarely boring!

The Evil Laugh: It WAS pretty convenient that everyone’s favorite card was human, or at least humanoid, huh?

Anonymous Fangirl: You’re right, I’ve hardly ever seen Pegasus or Bakura’s ears!

Wingweaver: Bwahaha… Yes, neglect your schoolwork to review this. PowerPoint presentations will do you no good in the long run!
I try to be informative when I can. And I can’t help being biased. I try to give people a chance, though. At least I’m usually biased in a positive way! Except when it comes to Tea and Rebecca and them…
My favorite card? Hmm… I love so many of them! My typical choice is the Dark Magician, but honestly, I couldn’t pick just one favorite.
Nah, I don’t know anybody I could duel with. I do play Magic: The Gathering with some of my friends, my brother, and a couple of cousins sometimes, though. I’m not very good, of course, but I can play a bit. I mostly just like to look at the cards.
I’ve heard of and seen a bit of Legend of Dragoon, but I’ve never played it. And I’ve heard about Titan A.E. but I’ve never seen it.
Hope you find your book bag and cards!

Tatsutahime: Yeah, Mako reminds me of FF7, too. Good game. ^_^
Yep, Serenity has pretty long hair. She’ll play a slightly more active role in Battle City. Like, we’ll actually see her outside of flashbacks and videotapes!
Yes, Yami DOES like leather. And buckles.
I can’t stand Tea/ANYONE… It just seems so… wrong!
Bleh, sports are so dumb… How dare they interfere with viewing of a new Yu-Gi-Oh episode!

Maya Kaiba: That sucks so much that your rants were deleted! They were so good. I’ve been working on these for so long that I think I’d cry if mine were deleted. I don’t think I’ve made anyone mad yet, but there’s at least one person I’m a bit annoyed with. I won’t say anything, to be diplomatic, though.
Heh heh… I’m sure the stock will rise with Yu-Gi-Oh, but only while they keep giving new episodes! If they dare abandon it, they’re dead!
The narrow eyes are a sign of either evil or lack of innocence. Because Yamis Bakura and Marik are evil, and Yami Yugi has at least been around long enough that he knows about the world. Also, Seena tells me that the Yamis have so much black around their eyes because Egyptians really use black makeup-type stuff around their eyes to keep the sun from damaging their eyes too much.
Oh no, they couldn’t have a song with meaning. Blasphemy!
I know they’ll change parts of Battle City. Because they’re dumb! They think we’re all little kids, and the parents who can complain want to keep their kids innocent. Stupid parents, they’re such pains.

Trupana: I’m a MUSE!? Wow! Any story I inspire has to be pretty strange! Cool! ^_^
I don’t know why the Paradox brothers didn’t switch the doors after the group went through.
Ah, that’s why Pegasus keeps Croquet around! To fix his hair every time the camera’s not on him! If you saw Lord of the Rings, Legolas’s hair was always perfect too.
I don’t hate Joey. He’s just fun to torment. I wrote a great yaoi with him and Yugi that completely flopped because he was too dense to pay attention. It was fun. ^_^
I forgive Yugi for his friendship/honor speeches because he’s so cute.
You’re right, Yami and Mai are pretty similar. I could easily believe your theory!
Well, there’s the heart of the cards theory…. Then there’s the theory that people stack their decks and don’t shuffle well enough!!
Seto has amazing powers. Great powers and strength.

Hyper_Wolf_Girl: Marik DOES look a bit like Cloud. But he still looks more like a super saiyan!
Actually, I have seen a slightly angsty Shadi story! It was really good, too! It’s in my favorites list, called “Visiting Hours 9to5” or something close to that. And there may be more coming soon!
Maric’s name DOES look like Mario’s.
Ooh, Seto gets more obsessed with Yami every time he changes clothes!
Oh there’s just about as much Tea/Mai yuri evidence as there is evidence of all the yaoi pairings. Yes! Corruption to the American children! It’s what we must have!


And me… Hope you read everybody else’s stuff, though! There will be a quiz later…


- Aw, Maya Kaiba’s rants were deleted! That makes me sad! (and I’m sincere this time, too!) Her were really good… I found another rant-ish thing kind of like this too. It’s “Random YuGiOh!” by Vemiia. And also, Dragon Angel has a very nice little rant-thing she started called "Things I don't Like About YGO." SO go read those, and mourn for our fallen fellows...

- I REALLY wish they’d change that theme song…

- Joey slept with a log under his head the night Seto showed up in his helicopter. How can he sleep like that!?

- For that matter, why did Seto show up RIGHT THERE? I guess he wanted to talk to Yugi.

- Seto said Yugi would be compensated for his help. But I don’t think he ever was. Not by Seto, at least. Funny, he was almost grateful at that point, and he forgot about it alll later.

- The Petit Angel, Shining Friendship, etc. look like Kirby.

- Hey, Joey has a Rude Kaiser too. Everybody has one of those these days!

- When Seto tells Joey to stay down like a dog, Yugi’s group yelled at him for humiliating Joey. But it sounded to me like he was egging Joey on, challenging him to get up, go on, and get better. He was so nice in those episodes…

- When Keith said Pegasus’s expression was priceless, Pegasus had a confident smirk on his face. Stupid dubbers.

- Keith called Pegasus “Cutie-pie!” Hee hee!

- I think Seto and Honda are about the same height. Marik’s pretty tall too. Aside from Pegasus and people like that, I think they’re the tallest main characters.

- The morning after Joey’s dog dream, Bakura’s Millennium Ring looked smaller and the rope it’s on was shorter than usual.

- Keith called Pegasus “mullet head” in his flashback! Pegasus doesn’t have a mullet!

- Bonz really worked on his creepy act while he was waiting for Joey to wake up.

- I think Joey’s wearing a sign that everyone but he can see that says “Puppy Dog.”

- Joey complained about Bonz getting help from Keith and the others. But he always gets help from Yugi!

- Aw, poor Bonz. Everybody’s so mean to him!

- Joey’s eyes were too big for most of the first graveyard duel episode.

- Poor Ryou! The boulder balloon got him! He was so cute yelling “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

- Joey said the Time Wizard fossilized Rex’s “dinosaur.” But he was talking about the Red Eyes Black Dragon.

- Heh… looks like Bonz’s luck with the Time Wizard is better than Joey’s when Yugi’s not there.

- Wouldn’t it be cool if the closed captions worked like subtitles and told us what the people were REALLY saying?

- When Yugi, Tea, and Bakura were cheering Joey on during the graveyard duel, their noses were almost nonexistent.

- Keith said he hadn’t planned on stealing his flunkies’ star chips. That’s nice to know, even if he did it anyway.

- Seto’s easily a match for Kimo, no matter what that pointy-headed idiot says. Seto has many great physical powers of strength and balance!

- Heh… The Paradox brothers are losers, but they’re funny sometimes. ^_^

- Joey needs to stop telling the Paradox brothers that he and Yugi are going to clean their clocks.

- How did the Gate Guardian deflect its mirrored attack onto the Monster Tamer?

- When Yugi used Polymerization to make the Black Skull Dragon, it wasn’t his turn! Joey had just played the Red Eyes Black Dragon, so it should have been Para’s turn. Unless Yugi had Polymerization on the field already, which is possible.

- Kuribohs make cute noises! Aw...

- Yami DOES make the Living Arrow do something different every time. It's obviously a great card, but kind of confusing.

- I'm surprised that Seto couldn't find anything to do when his Ultimate Dragon was melting than attack with it once more. Surely he had a magic card or at least another monster to attack with.

- Eew, the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon melted all over Mokuba in Seto's mental image...

- Most of us agree that Tea and Rebecca are horrible. But who's your favorite female character? I like Isis, and Mai's pretty cool too. I might like Cecelia if I knew her better. Pegasus liked her, and I approve of his taste, usually.

- The Celtic Guardian looked a bit annoyed at being told to stop when he was about to attack the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

- Tea asked Seto what HE had at the end of the day, while Yugi had his friends. But at least Seto doesn't have Tea to put up with! Lucky him!

- After Mai opened the door with her 10 star chips, did Yugi and Joey really have to put theirs in?

- Keith called Pegasus "the old man." I know Pegasus is only about 25, but how old is Keith? I thought he was in his early 20s or so, too. So Pegasus isn't old compared to Keith.

- When Seto and Mokuba had their souls sealed into cards, they both looked really upset. But Yugi's grandpa still looked calm and content.

- How do Yugi and Mai and them keep their hair so perfect after sleeping outside without any shelter, combs, or anything for days on end?

- Mai and Yami have similar eyes, facial features, and bangs.

- I can't stress enough how much I wish Seto, Yugi, the Celtic Guardian, or SOMEONE had pushed Tea off the castle when Yugi dueled Seto up there. Oh, missed opportunities...

- Honda cries a lot when he stuffs his face.

- Do you think the matching up of the letters in the eyeballs was really random? Or did Pegasus have it planned out already?

- Yugi gives Joey so many early birthday presents, he'll never get anything on his birthday again!

- Seems like Bandit Keith has an army of clones out there that people have seen. Someone even saw Mai with one.

- Poor Bakura, having to follow Honda's bad plans...

- Ack, stupid Kids WB put socks on the Dark Magician, Celtic Guardian, and Mystical Elf! Those fools!

- Does anyone know a good place to download full Japanese subtitled episodes?

- Yugi asked how it was possible that Pegasus had strong Shadow powers. He knows perfectly well about the Millennium Eye!

- How does Pegasus keep his shoes so white?

- What does Pegasus mean, Honda, Tea, and Bakura "have seen too much"? He knows they only saw Cecelia's portrait, and they saw that before!

- I wonder how many innocent pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals Joey has devoured in his sleep? I once dreamed I was eating a sandwich, and woke up eating my pillow...

- Hee hee... Kids' WB made Seto really scary but nice in their dumb holiday sock party thing. ^_^

- Uh oh, Yugi's talking about destiny...

- Wouldn't the guy in the shop notice that Yugi looks different than Yami's picture on the computer?

- The rarest cards Yugi ever used in a duel were the Exodia cards, not the Dark Magician. But Seto can change things if he knows a duelist doesn't have their cards anymore...

- Aw, Joey's little Scapegoats were cute!

- Why do there have to be so many commercials?

- The Turtle Game Shop has the Eye of HOrus on the side of it!

- When did HOnda get a motorcycle?

- They skipped the scene where Honda talked to Joey on the beach.

- Gah, Serenity's just as stubborn as her brother. And she cries too much!

- I thought Serenity was taller, but she's only about Yugi's height! How old is she?

Endnotes: Well, that's all for a while... Sorry guys, I'd rather do this, but I have to make money. Bleh. But I'll keep watching the new episodes. You guys do the same! Let's hope for more Maric and Bakura and them soon!
