FINALLY Judai has JUSTIFIED HIS EXISTENCE
shadow_of_egypt wins a WHOLE WORLD OF AWESOME for telling me about YUUGI'S RETURN IN GX. I'm just SO HAPPY to see him again. I HOPE THEY DUEL AND YUUGI KICKS JUDAI'S ASS. ♥
This means EVEN MORE to me because I recently started reading the GX manga (Volume 1 was just released in English in my country) and I ADORED it. IT'S A SERIES ABOUT YGO FANS, WHAT IS THERE NOT TO LOVE?! I kid you not, there are RANDOM FLASHES in Judai's memory about the LEGENDARY DUELISTS (cue Kaiba, Yuugi and JOUNOUCHI's silhouettes - PLUS MAI, EVEN), and his wanting to be JUST LIKE THEM. A duel takes place over, of all things, a BATTLE CITY DVD. ♥ And in the series it is a GREAT THING OF AWE to be in possession of a DUELIST KINGDOM VIDEO. I LAUGHED THE WHOLE WAY through the manga, especially when the main character just seemed to NEVER get his ass kicked. And also, there is a rival duelist named Chazz, which makes me LAUGH SO HARD because it gives me Blades of Glory flashbacks.
FANDOM CROSSOVERS WITH YGO
There's nothing quite like wandering around your non-YGO fandoms and finding YGO REFERENCES there. Or vice-versa! Check out Reborn's version of Screw the Rules, I Have Green Hair!
Gurren Lagann, in particular, seems to have more YGO crossovers than I realised! WHICH FILLS MY GL FAN'S HEART WITH JOY. These GL-styled YGO icons? UNSPEAKABLE LOVE, especially since I obsessed so violently over the series the Gurren Lagann art is so distinctive that I know the exact shots these YGO parodies were modeled on. Jounouchi = KAMINA LOLOLOLROFLOHGOD. And Simon = Atem and Yuugi, of course. AND VIRAL = BAKURA AND MALIK CRACKS ME UP SO HARD. GUYS GUYS GUYS. I know batshit crazy calls to batshit crazy across the gulf of different fandoms of different eras, but YEAH. ♥ AWESOME.
Here's a YGO-Gurren Lagann video that also puts a smile on my face. ♥ It's Underground, one of the many great tracks on the GL OST, and this YGO remake is amazingly faithful to the original GL video.
