Today was marginally less stressful, mostly because I took a break mid-interviewing to snag a Shonen Jump from Walden. I then spent 10 minutes in my car cooing over the Blues Eyes Ultimate Dragon, which I resumed several hours later when I came home and let it romp with Blue Eyes Shining Dragon and its other Blue Eyes White Dragon brethren. I wonder if it's insane to contemplate buying two more copies of Shonen Jump just for the dragon. It's highly likely it is. But I also know most awesome cards don't work as well if you only have one.
In honor of my new pretty, this post shall be solely devoted to Yugioh ramblings.
quebelly, you may skip in disgust.
First, some things that squicked me about the Shonen Jump magazine this card came in. Yami is holding a deck of cards with the Ultimate Dragon ontop on the front cover. It is insanely wrong for Yami to ever possess the Ultimate Dragon, maybe the Blue Eyes, but Kaiba would murder someone before he ever let them touch his triple-threat. We will exclude those times Kaiba allowed Yami's monsters to merge with his dragons or the one time Atemu did himself just because that's hot. This issue also included a clip of a page from the Yugioh Movie: Ani-Manga, which features an atrocious quote from Kaiba: "That's right. You see I have an even more powerful monster. Compliments of Pegasus...A new shiny dragon." The thought of Kaiba saying "shiny" hurts bad. As did the image my brother forced into my head of Kaiba singing "Shining Collection" from Gravitation. I didn't need that.
Some fun things from Shonen Jump: the reminder that Black Cat will soon be hitting the shelves, the preview of the new Spellcaster's Judgement structure deck, the reminder that I need to buy the Megamorph card and the section from the Memories Arc of Yugioh.
I failed to comment on the animated version of this segment that aired last weekend. Most of it was just Yami Bakura flirting with Atemu and a quick glimpse at young Set. He has the cutest widdle eyes. My second favorite part is when Diabound slices Osirus and gets Atemu in the process. Atemu always looks better when hot, bothered and in agony. My prime favorite part should be obvious to anyone who's seen it, but I'll mention it anyway because it makes me squee. When Yami Bakura has Atemu in a stalemate with Diabound ready to crush Atemu and Osirus ready to chomp Yami Bakura and Yami Bakura does his sexy "muut". Then Deos slices through Diabound's arm and Atemu's all "Set?" just as Set charges in with the calvary. I do love my protective Set. He may be a power-hungry bastard to some, but he's always there for his pharaoh.
Non-Yugioh note: Seeing the bloody pages of One Piece almost make me want to pick up the manga.
