Yes, yes, you know the drill. You, then me. I’ll try to answer everyone who says
something answerable… I still appreciate the little ones, though! ^_^ And you
people are as bad as me, forgetting your own rants! Write things down. And
another thing. Erm… You people seem to be under the misconception that I (and
other authors, I’m sure) don’t like multiple reviews or long reviews. I’ve got
news for you. I DO! They rule! The more the better, I say! So tell me WHATEVER
you want to, because I really DO want to hear it! No, I’m serious! Type as much
as you want, I really won’t get bored or think you’re a loser (Well, I might.
But I’ll keep it to myself, most likely!)
The Clow Hatter: I looked at that website! But… *sniffle* I can’t read French much more than I can read Japanese! How ignorant, illiterate, and uninformed I am!
Schala85: Eep, sorry! I try to answer people. You must have asked questions at times when I had lots of others to answer. Sorry! Yes, so many yummy people! Mmm…
KawaiiBlackMoon: Let’s see if I can remember the God Cards’ dub names… Golden Dragon of Ra, Obelisk the Tormenter, and something strange and long that started with S for Osiris… How very sad!
Saki: Yugi was worried about what to wear for the date because Yami’s his other
half. Yugi cares about him and wants him to make a good impression. Plus, the
way Yami is reflects on Yugi.
I’m not sure how old Shadi is… I think he’s either in his mid-twenties or so, or
immortal and he’s been around since the Items were created. It’s so hard to
tell!
The Dark Magician’s quiet because he’s cool that way. If he were really vocal,
it would take away from his innate coolness.
Midnightwarrior: Oh, you missed a great episode! Yeah, the 8:00 (7 where I live) episode had lots and lots of Isis and Seto. It was really cool! It repeated on Thursday, so I hope you saw it! But don’t worry, they’ll show it again. Some day…
Miko-chan: I didn’t notice the people who greeted Isis welcoming her to their “American” city! When I get back to school to watch my tape of it (my taping powers have improved considerably since the days of the Shadi episode!), I’ll look for that… It’s on a different network and done by different people than Digimon, you know. Maybe 4kids and WB are just really REALLY dumb like that.
MaidenoftheMoon: Yugi talking to the semi-transparent Yami WAS cool.
I guess you’re right about Isis/Ishizu’s name, it could have been much worse.
I’ll still call her Isis, though!
And you should know by now that all anime girls (with very few exceptions, like
Otogi’s one cheerleader!) have perfect figures! Yeah, it’s annoying, but it’s
how they are and we can’t do much about it.
The Evil Laugh: Wait, now you’re confusing me… In the Egyptian Seto/Pharaoh
duel, Isis brought Seto into the past to let him see what happened long ago. So
the Pharaoh isn’t alive anymore in the present. His spirit is just in the
Puzzle. And… partially in Yugi too? You’re right, that’s a little confusing.
Kinda like in Cardcaptor Sakura where Sakura’s father was Clow Reed’s
reincarnation, but Eriol was also…
Ryou with a mullet? Is that what you meant? The redneckish hairstyle that’s
short on top and long in back? Hmm… No, he doesn’t have a mullet as I see it,
anyway.
And I think the eyeliner look comes with being a yami. Once you’ve been stuck in
a piece of gold for a few thousand years, your eyes get weird…
Psycho Bakura: Hmm… I can think of a few slightly silly insults that Bakura’s
probably too cool to say, but I can picture him screaming something like “DAMN
PHARAOH!!”
I don’t know why Yugi gave the “fortune teller” the Puzzle either. What a stupid
thing to do!
Lori Kimaya: You fool, never sleep in! Your dedication is severely lacking! I’m
disappointed! At least set a tape! Next time there is a new episode, I hope you
see it!
Yeah, I think Yami Bakura split his soul into two pieces. Or maybe he just kind
of put his “foot in the door” of the Puzzle, so when he’s not taking over Ryou
he can go exploring in the Puzzle at his leisure.
Battle City began after the Dungeon Dice Monsters episodes were over. Those and
the Rebecca ones were just little mini-arcs of the story that don’t matter a
whole lot later on.
And I don’t know how Ripping Friends got on Adult Swim, I always thought it was
stupid too.
JaguarKitty2006: Going into the past like that probably DID make Seto feel a little sick. And all that spinning in the points of view! Dizzying…
Lily22: Ah, but I shared my speculation about Mako JUST to disturb people! ^_^
And I don’t know how Tea danced in those shoes… They did occasionally change
height though!
Seena: Ooh… Funness! And longness! OH yes. It was that long. I usually print out
the reviews to highlight and write comments on just before I update, but I
didn’t want to have an extra 17 pages! My basement is cold and dark too. And I
had to go back and read my old rants along with your reviews to make sure I knew
what you were talking about.
Thanks for your stuff about Bakura! I’m writing a story about him (if Ankh and
Scale will quit being so jealous and be good muses for OTHER stories!), and that
information will help me IMMENSELY! I’ll try not to steal your idea, though!
No, don’t get a life. They’re not worth it, and you’d probably become boring if
you had one!
At first, and on the card, the Feral Imp just has the same bright green fur all
over. But after Yugi uses Horn of the Unicorn on him, the fur that’s where pants
would be if he wore them is dark green.
Aww, Yugi using the Tauk as a headband… That WOULD be cute!
Watch out Seena, looks like Ayrrie is trying to do the same thing you do! Uh-oh,
this could be interesting…!
Yugilover13: I think Yami still calls himself Yugi to other people for two basic reasons. First the “you’re my other half” complex. They kind of think of themselves as one person still. And secondly, they don’t want to sound like they have dissociative identity disorder (I think that's the real name for multiple personality disorder) “I’m Yugi. Now I’m Yami!”
Alyssa: Yeah, the concept of Yami and Tea going on a date wouldn’t normally appeal to me either, but I was really hoping to get more information on what Yami’s like. I was a little disappointed in that respect, though it had some really funny parts!!
Seashell: Eheh… I’m guilty of ogling, too! I admit it, I’ve become no better
than the average rabid fangirl… *sniff* So sad… But they’re all so YUMMY!!! ^_^
Dark side giving you trouble? Yeah, I decided to make Ankh and Scale from my
other story my official muses, but they’re causing me so much trouble! Giving me
conflicting ideas, and not letting me move on from a story! I should stop paying
them!
Chibizoo: I have… meaning? That’s news to me! ^_^
Reyana Draconis: Hmm, that’s a good point. Do the makers of the animes know what
the dubbers DO to them?
Yes, Shadi IS cute! And weird too. ^_^ I think he’d either have slightly long
black hair or be completely bald under the turban.
I luv Seto Kaiba: Actually, I heard somewhere that Dinosaur (Rex Raptor) was
about 20 or so, and just short (but not as much as Yugi).
Heh, leave it to dubbers to cut out funny things like Tea explaining that she
isn’t a guy! ^_^
Lil-Pink-Mew: Hey, haven’t seen you in a while… Malik’s voice reminds you of Xellos’s!? He has the WORST English voice EVER!! I don’t remember it being THAT bad… I’ll have to listen when it repeats, though! Eew!
Ylani Stepka: Ooh, I have fans… ^_^ I feel so special!!
First of all, I haven’t actually see the Japanese version. I’ve just heard
things about it, and I’ve seen a few pictures and heard some voice clips. If you
want to show it to younger siblings, I guess I’ll try to advise you. First,
don’t show them the fabled “first season.” That’s where everybody looks slightly
different, before the Duelist Kingdom story arc. Start with Duelist Kingdom and
you should be safe. It’s still a lot more violent and bloody, you understand. I
don’t think there’s any real intentional yaoi in it, except maybe a line way
into Battle City where Yugi tells Jonouchi (Joey) he loves him. It could be
friendly/brotherly love, though. I’ll be able to tell you more after Christmas
break when I have money again, but I hope that helps for now!
Ayrrie: Ooh, someone else attempts the dangerous and slightly crazy task of
answering every single rant? I’m quite impressed… Glad you like my rants! And
yep, dubbers are dumb!
Would the Puzzle have melted? It's gold, but it's also a Millennium Item. That
must count for something.
Heh... Poor Shadi... "Shoddy"... Is that how it's really pronounced?
Well, on the carving, Ra looked like a griffon to me...
Tatsutahime: Actually, I did gain a bit of respect for Tea after the last new
episode when she and Yami went on a date. Of course, when she stepped back and
let Yami duel that freak for NO GOOD REASON, I lost most of that respect… But oh
well.
Aww, I want plushies too! I bet they’ll come out with some monster plushies. I
can imagine a Kuriboh being pretty popular to snuggle!
I apologize if my rants are sub-par this time, and that there aren’t many of
them, but like I said, I’ve had practically NO time to myself this past week…
The one bad part about coming home for holidays!
- I went to see Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets the other night when it hit me… You know who Snape reminds me of (in the movies, not the books)? Shadi! They’re both pretty creepy. They have a certain air of weirdness about them. Neither is really trusted by the good guys, although neither is really a bad guy. Though Shadi seems a lot nicer than Snape, to me at least.
- Okay, lots of you told me which Millennium Item you’d like and why… So which Item do you think is the most useless, or the one you wouldn’t want, if any? I guess… I probably wouldn’t want the Scales (sorry Scale, I still love you!). They just judge souls and summon Anubis to take people to the underworld, and although I try to be mean sometimes, I don’t think I could do that. I wouldn’t much care for the Tauk either. Seeing the future would be pretty bad in my opinion if I didn’t have anything I could do about it! I wouldn’t have a lot of use for the Ring, unless I needed to find the other Items, and I’m not too interested in that. The Puzzle’s luck would be good, as would the Eye and Ankh’s abilities to see into/change minds/souls. And the Rod’s ability to control actions would be useful sometimes!
- Weevil has a surprisingly cute Japanese voice! Oh, so do most of the others. Can’t wait to get some subtitled DVDs! Oh, I found a site with some good Japanese voice clips for your listening pleasure. http://filldnothingness.crosswinds.net/sounds/
- I love Shadi very much, but isn’t it strange how he gets two appearances in the opening song when he was only around for one episode, while Bakura’s a fairly major, regular character and he isn’t in the song at all!
- Yugi did a good job of ignoring Tea in the episode where Isis appeared.
- Why did Isis have her assistants lock all the doors of the museum when Seto came in?
- Why did they change the amount of time between when the Shadow Games were sealed and the present from 3000 to 5000 years?
- Does Seto take that metal briefcase EVERYWHERE with him?
- Did you see how those hooded chanters were destroyed when ancient Seto was dueling? They must go through a lot of chanters like that…
- How does Isis’s robe stay up? It looks like it’d just slip down around her shoulders.
- I wonder who DID win that ancient duel? Yami probably stepped in to finish the duel and win.
- Seto sounded like he needed a drink of water or something when he started his evil laugh at the end of the episode where he got the Obelisk card.
- Between the Puzzle and that heavy chain, I’m surprised Yugi isn’t dragged to the ground!
- Those bracelets Yugi and Yami wear seem to have some meaning.
- Why didn’t Yami and Tea just go to the Egyptian exhibit right away on their date? That would have saved time.
- After all that deliberation about what to wear, Yugi kept the same clothes he had on!
- Tea’s shoes weren’t amazingly tall when she entered the arcade. They grew when she went to yell at Johnny.
- When Johnny challenged Tea, Yami sounded anti-competitive! That’s not like him. He must have really been feeling bad that day!
- I’m no dance expert, but to Tea’s credit, she’s pretty good when she’s not being preppy.
- Where do they come up with losers like Step Johnny?
- The Flame Swordsman doesn’t have much of a face!
- Bakura tells Pegasus he’s entitled to take his Millennium Item “The way [Pegasus] meant to take Yugi’s.” As if he’s doing it for revenge for Yugi!
- Shadi says he’s “a” guardian of the Items, implying that there are (or were) others. So in the dub at least, he’s not immortal.
- There was a lot of blood that they edited off of Pegasus’s face right after Shadi gave him the Eye. I found some clips of the Japanese version at http://www.milleniumpower.com (It hasn't been working lately, though).
- What? A new episode? Yes! We win! Times like this, I love being wrong!
- Ooh, Yami’s got new boots that aren’t attached to his pants…
- Yami’s didn’t recognize Seto in the carving at first, even with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon hovering over him? Yami’s a bit slow…
- Now Isis is calling him Yami and Pharaoh and all sorts of things, so that’s good. Or different. I’m not sure, but it’s something!
- Seto told Mokuba to stop whining! He’s normally so nice to Mokuba.
- The new dueling “disks” (which aren’t disks anymore) are big! I hope Yugi doesn’t fall over when he puts his on!
- Seto’s coats flare out insane amounts, even when there’s no possible breeze and he’s not moving!
- I want a zebra unicorn like Seto had…
- So it looks like they’ve raised the total possible life point amount to 4000. Duels will probably last longer now!
- Why did Seto disable the safeties on the dueling robot? I still love him, but the God Card quest has made him much more power-hungry and arrogant than before. Or maybe he’s just getting in touch with his dangerous, thrill-seeking side?
- Seto’s poor other monsters didn’t look too happy at being sacrificed.
- Seto sounded really happy to be defeating his own Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Poor dragon! I think Seto needs another lesson in the heart of the cards.
- Heh… If only Mai had strangled Tea when she had her in a headlock!
- Tea’s shoes shrank again!
- Weevil lost weight, took a growth spurt, and maybe trimmed his hair a bit. He looks better!
- I like Esper Roba. Did you see him? Mai pointed him out. He’s got pale green hair that’s kind of rounded all over.
- Mako’s still eating burnt fish on sticks!
- Heh… Seto took over every TV in the city to publicly announce his tournament!
- Yami sounded hostile towards Seto when all he did was come over in his helicopter and hover overhead! No reason to be overly mean, Yami…
- Okay, I agree completely now. Malik’s voice sucks.
Endnote: My dad got me a computer for an early Christmas present (FINALLY!), so if I can manage to get it hooked up in my room, that will make updating this MUCH easier! As always, review!
