Ironically enough I agreed with him for the most part, his behavior is just pretty terrible.
Like he said, in a Game of Darkness, the monsters become real, however, this isn't really new. I've already agreed to that. The issue is that he believed that the abilities of the card themselves are real, citing PoL as the example. However, the novel lacks that (he accepted that as canon too, until he started to believe that both the anime and novel were canon? Despite being by 4Kids for the movie and being different interpretations.) and outside of that, the only time the cards actually had their game mechanics effects was with sparks in 5Ds... though sparks is literally just fire so its not like it would have done anything else.
who said i was taking sides i was just explaining what was going on at my end lol
Yeah, the canonicity is the issue. I think that 4Kids being behind most of the movie (at least I think it was) is a pretty big false flag. I wouldn't immediately shoot it down, but it's something to note at least. The novel may still be usable tho.
I tought he meant that it didnt matter if it needed to be a Dark Game because in his words "In a "Dark Game"" would just make it all valid.
Or, do you mean that the effects of the card are permanent? Because, i dont think they are, in the card game, you activate the card, it does its thing, then dissapears.
No, I mean that the effect of having the power of the card's actual effects being kept across the series or something. I honestly didn't get much of Marco's arguments at all; would rather start back at square one.
There is no side, a side doesn't exist, you don't understand the words I'm spitting out here. I'm on Earth, you're on Saturn. Let me give you an example so you can realize what I'm talking about:
superman shoot universal big beam
activate magic cylinder
superman hit with universal big beam
That's what Marco was talking about, not about Shadow Games, not about the Puzzle, just literally Marco's arguments. I'm not saying I agree with them, but that was the topic of the argument.
EDIT: Canon Yugi made the monsters realistic by using Shadow Games, but since that wasn't in Duel Monsters anime, that wasn't really common knowledge. But take it what you will
Well, some effects are different in the anime. For example, Beserker Soul allows you to make adittional attacks instead of just dealing 500 damage to your opponent.
Since this is Anime yugi, Anime effects should be used, yes?
That solely depends on exactly how far you take the " Because it's a shadow game, all their effects are now buffs and/or/and or hax " . Because even their Battle City versions scale to such high-ends if you use that.
That's offtopic my guy, but if you want an answer: The Arc-V dub isn't even finished. Poor scheduling on Nickelodeon's part had led it to shit, and then Teletoon in Canada (which was way after they started airing the dub but had kept going consistent unlike Nick's eon-long breaks) has about 20 or so episodes left? Nicktoons has about 50 or so now. This is just going by their scheduling plans listed.
so i don't know, maybe at the end of this year if they're lucky.
Well, at most, it means that Yugi can bend the rules a bit.
Which, for Vs Battles doesnt really matter.
Its not like the OP of the fight or anyone voting for Yugi is going to describe a full on game plan. Most are gonna say 'Yugi because of hax" or "Yugi because infinite obelisk"
@Rapid that or the game effect =/= the actual ability. I also have to point out not only did it ignore the tribute requirement, but it also destroyed the card after use, when it only should have killed Shining Dragon.
@Megaboy It is contradicted by every other time (except Sparks, but Sparks is Sparks) a card became real actually. Heck its contradicted by the spell cards he used a moment earlier in the movie.
I would also like to point out this would be if he gets his enemy to agree to participate in a Shadow Game (Not only unlikely that they would join, but also extremely OOC for Yugi, and to a lesser degree Marik [Outside of card games that is])
@Data If we set the condition : Bloodlusted Yugi , he would do that. Otherwise, In-Character he would never do it. He's mentioned as "Pure of Heart" at several moments, only highlighted when the Orichalcos couldn't take his mind over because of it.
Its possible blood lusted Yugi could work, but we would also have to set up that the shadow game is already taking place, and I'm not sure that would be accepted in any battle outside of fun and games.
Do you guys have any moments when the cards actually have their effects, all of them? Because there are a few off the top of my head, but none with their actual effects.
( Keep in mind this means Yugi's will is stronger than the Gods.. Considering they fell to Level I Orichalcos. Atem fought Level III Orichalcos and deflected it, Yugi resisted Level II Orichalcos )
That is true ... Hmm...
Not off the top of my head no ... None with their actual effects... They usually are slightly altered.
if yugi is hardly bloodlusted as a character or a peaceful dude, then that could just be remedied by specifying it as part of his weakness. Don't we already do this?
