Various Rants
And so we come to the last day of the year. **yawn.** New Year's has never been a big thing for us, and I am honestly often cynical about the holiday to begin with. It's just one day changing to the next. What's the big deal? The new year never feels any different immediately anyway. One of Mom's childhood friends actually said she liked New Year's

**hugs Rockapella** A bunch of awesome guys. X3
Bleah at Téa and her wanting to see Yami Y that badly. -.- **was annoyed with her there, too** And yeah, Yami Y did seem to be a bit sadistic. Also, he didn't allow Yugi to remember what was going on during those Shadow Games **remembers Yugi says that volume 5 was the first time he remembered the day's battles.** I think Yugi may have had an influence on Yami Y for being less sadistic...
Yay Yami B caring for Bakura! X3 Hmm, I think the gym teacher just hated Bakura, because he never seemed to give *Yugi* a hard time about his hair (at least, as far as we could see...)
Ooh, and volume 2 of YGO R... *___* Seto is awesome in that. And I really like Gekko. X3 Bandit Keith, however, is quite the opposite. XD; (Why the heck would he say that Yugi killed Pegasus? He never even had that much of a grudge against Yugi; I always thought his problem was with Joey...)

Oh, Yugi definitely had that influence on Atem. ^^ That's one of the major, yet more quiet, themes in the series: how they learn from each other. During the Ceremonial Battle, moreso in the anime version but mentioned in the manga too, it's told how Yugi taught Atem kindness and compassion. It's touched on several times earlier too, like when Atem comments after the battle with mind-controlled Joey that Yugi has shown him that kindness is the greatest strength of all. X3
Maybe the gym teacher was just jealous because all the girls loved Bakura. LOL.
Seto is totally awesome. X3 Mokuba hacking into things was awesome, too. (Though overall, I've never cared for him much in the manga. He's mostly so obnoxious and sometimes kind of bratty.) And I love Gekko. That's so horrible and sad, what his brother did to him. ;___; But it's also horribly sad and frightening what Gekko said happened to his brother. o.o
Bandit Keith was just ... ugh. He honestly seemed surprised when he was told Yugi didn't kill Pegasus, though. o.o So maybe he actually thought it was true. That was the impression I got, anyway.
One interesting thing to note: *no one* has mentioned that Keith is supposed to be dead, as the fandom claims he is. I've always said there's no proof of that, since what he saw in Duelist Kingdom was an illusion. The only way he could have died would have been if his body was so convinced he was being shot in the head that it reacted accordingly.

Tue. ^^ There was one time during the Orichalcos ar that bugged me though... After the rooftop duel fiasco in Duelist Kingdom, when Yugi said that he wasn't sure if he could trust Atem again, Atem said during the battle with Mai, "I vow never to go against your wishes again." But he still played the Seal during the duel with Raphael, even after Yugi repeatedly pleaded for him not to, breaking that vow... And that was one of the times in the anime that Atem really annoyed me...
LOL. XD **imagines Elliott being surrounded by the girls** That would be interesting... XD
(True...). ;___;
Yeah, maybe... But I can't help but think he just wanted to rile people up by saying that Yugi did it.
True; I found it hard to believe that the illusion would be that powerful, too...

Oooh. ;___; Of course, my first thought is, did they have that conversation in the original? If it's dub-only, I'd say it wouldn't necessarily count; it only would if you wanted it to. But in any case, him playing the Seal when Yugi begged him not to was horrible. A lot of people don't like that arc because they think Atem was OOC. I'm not sure that he necessarily was; it just showed a darker side to him.
Maybe he wanted to get at Joey by saying it?
**nodnod.** Supposedly Keith was revived to take part in the project, says Wikipedia. But as long as no one's expressing surprise in canon, I say he never died.

Hmm... I'm not sure if it's dub-only; I'll have to look into it. But yes, Atem was definitely darker.
Maybe...
...I'd like to think that, too, unless it's later going to be revealed that Keith is Solid Vision, too. -.- Knowing Yako, it's possible...

But yes, Dark Yuugi was a sadistic nut-job in the early stuff (insanity and death-by-fire! Wheeeee!)

I guess in addition to his memories in pieces in the Puzzle, his mind was in pieces too! XD; It must have been so weird and surreal inside the Puzzle, and then suddenly BAM! He was in a strange new world filled with creeps.
Oh no! Evil sickness!
