Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 25th Anniversary Rewatch - Week 37: Episodes 221-224 + Final Discussion

>[](#mugiwait)

Meanwhile, I suppose I should finally get back to GX while I have relative downtime, huh? Like, I only have the D.Gray-man and Jigokuraku rewatches for at least the next two weeks and some change. January 2026 is weirdly light on rewatches at the moment. [](#harukathonk)

> I know that becomes a meme in a later Yu-Gi-Oh series that I haven't watched yet, so I had to chuckle a bit when Atem said that line here.

They say it SO many times during Arc-V, it's ridiculous.

>It is an apt nickname.

If anything it may be a bit too kind towards him.

> Yeah I'm a YGO fan now

[](#happyclap)

>GX is next chronologically speaking but 5D's interest me more.

I'd say may as well go with GX since it has *a lot* of callbacks to the OG, so may as well do it while it's still semi-fresh.

> But here Yugi continues to prove himself by being as a good a duelist as any, besides coming up with countermeasures like setting traps in his own cards to counteract the Gkd cards's effects but also in knowing what cards Atem would play. Because you get to know someone quite well if he's inhabiting your body for a while. And because of that he's able to defeat all 3 Gods at once.

If there was anyone who could truly defeat Atem, it would be Yugi. After all, Yugi has watched all of Atem's duels. He knows how Atem thinks because he's seen how Atem strategizes. So it makes perfect sense that Yugi would be able to predict Atem's moves and come up with counters.

>The final play is probably my favorite because again as Atem plays his new card to revive Slifer with Monster Reborn, Yugi had again correctly guessed what card he would use at the end with Golden Chest of Sealing. The show has Ishtar pretty much spell out what this means, Yugi's final message that the Dead shouldn't remain with the living. On the nose? Sure but also poignant and the one that seals the final victory, one that shows Yugi finally establishing himself and one that allows Atem to rest.

>Yeah I'm a YGO fan now.

[](#woo)

> Thanks to this I even started playing things like Duelist of the Roses (which I passed thanks to the advice I was given before).

[Congrats!](#helmetbro) I had a tough time with the game when I first played it years ago, so glad to hear you managed to beat it.

>Next up on my YGO journey is...I don't know actually. GX is next chronologically speaking but 5D's interest me more. Oh well I'll decide eventually.

I think either choice is fine. If 5Ds interests you more, then go for it because it's great.

> I don't know if this goes the same in the manga, but for me this is probably my favorite duel in the series.

It’s among the best in both mediums, yeah. The manga version of Battle City!Yugi vs Kaiba and Yugi vs Jonouchi do give it stiff competition, but still

> Yeah I'm a YGO fan now.

[Welcome to the club](#congratulations)

> Next up on my YGO journey is...I don't know actually. GX is next chronologically speaking but 5D's interest me more.

I highly recommend GX, it’s a largely fantastic show, but I can’t speak on 5Ds’ quality^1 so go with whatever feels right to you

^(1: *Yet*. I’ll probably start watching it as soon as my laptop is fixed)

> Arc ranking

[Same ranking](#brothersinarms)

> watching people destroy my precious Cresta

Ironically I'd probably be relatively nicer towards GTO as an adaptation than I was towards this show. At least there I understand most of the changes were partly the result of the rules of TV broadcast and there was just no way to have some of that stuff appear in TV. It's kinda how I feel about the AmaBuri Anime. Is it really the same if we don't have stuff [like]>!Macaron's hard-boiled delinquent backstory or Tiramii smoking weed?!< No, but hey, you gotta take what you can get.

> If I'm nostalgic for something that might not hold up as well as I remember it, I'd hate to host a rewatch that includes tons of criticism for it

Powering through the Gundam 00 rewatch has steeled my mind in this regard.
[](#mugistronk)

In all seriousness, I do get it. Part of my initial fear as a host going in is that reading everyone’s criticism in combination with seeing the flaws through the nostalgia myself would just drain my passion for the show in a way that’d negatively affect the Rewatch, and admittedly that happened to a small degree (there were some weeks where I really procrastinated on watching the episodes because I wasn’t looking forward to them, and I think that led to some of the more shoddily put-together writeups & threads on my part), but I was surprised at how much of my positive estimation of the show survived by the end

> But as a participant, those help a lot imo. For example, if my comment was focused on a specific topic in an episode, and I didn't want to stop at every corner, I appreciate having questions that poke into those corners.

[](#attentivenote)

> I've been wanting to watch that for ages. Sign me up if you do it.

[](#ginapproves)

> Seriously though, sorry for falling off the rewatch!

[It’s all good](#kannathumbs)

I appreciate your posts and understand that following a rewatch like this one can be hard

> Also [Rewatch confession]

[Very understandable](#tiredaoi)

Even as a host, Doma was honestly the hardest arc to get through and write about

> I've been thinking of watching that one since forever, so definitely tag me if that ends up happening!

[](#helmetbro)

> Don't add Kaiba

Yeahhh... I considered the idea that you would want Kaiba to be here instead of leaving him hanging when it is time to leave the series, but he was the worst part of the final duel. Every time, it was "Could you not be you, right now?"

[](#finethen)

> If nothing else, the first timer reactions from people like Sky or even TakenName have shown me that, if you stop looking at it through the lesns of an adaptation and just as its own thing, the show can be quite enjoyable in its own way.

[](#mentioned) [](#floweryhug)

> Okay I still don't like Kaiba being in this arc at all, but God, him bitching about Yuugi getting the last Duel with Atem is hilarious.

That is the kind of whiny pettiness that best suits Kaiba. [](#kukuku)

>The Memory World arc is… divisive. It's probably the closest the series ever gets to being a more "Traditional" Battle Shonen and that kinda robs the series a lot of its uniqueness by default.

I did find myself comparing it to the Doma Arc on a number of occasions for that reason. Fighting against an evil god using your monsters in a method that doesn't fit the card game rules (or any game rules at all) is something we see in both arcs, for example. I found myself wondering why I liked it and considering it fine here, while not liking that idea in Doma. I still don't think I could provide a satisfactory answer beyond "I just do." [](#yuishrug)

>Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters is not a show I can, in good faith, call a good adaptation.

I think this rewatch was what helped me to realize just how many problems the anime has as an adaptation that I didn't necessarily notice beforehand.

>"What will make more money?"

The answer turned out to be sequels. Lots and lots of sequels!

>a minor one-off character is now a VERY annoying recurring one

Miho becoming part of the main cast is such a strange choice. I checked my copy of the manga and she doesn't even say 3 sentences in the manga. Upgrading her to a main cast member is just odd.

It was nice having you in this rewatch. I enjoyed having someone else to discuss the manga with. Good luck with Dragon Ball! [](#bearhug)

>And of course, this show has far more historical value. It was the beginning of Gallop's *19 YEAR* run on the series, and while I'll shit on Arc-V and Vrains till the cows come, that's nevertheless an accomplishment, and GX alone showed they learned from their mistakes by crafting the whole show around the card game from scratch, thus leading to far more consistent storytelling.

Arc-V, I'm still grieving it. The 1st year had everything going for it, the audience was feeling celebratory, but because all resources afterwards got diverted to Dark Side of Dimensions it fell into a braindead descent it couldn't recover from. Great potential, utterly wasted, such a pity...

> With that said though, I actually quite like it. Fundamentally, the series had been building up to these events being shown to us for quite a while, and even if we have to settle for a version that's not 100% accurate it does manage to give the audience some form of catharsis.

That's kinda how I view it, could it have been handled better? Sure. There's a lot that we can and did criticise, but that's specifically because its core is a solid nut that's been setup for ages.

>the treatment of Bakura in particular is outright disrespectful

[](#psh-mongrels)

It wasn't enough what the royals did to him, even the anime had to join in on the bullying.

>I have said many times, sometimes I feel modern adaptations are too obsessed with being dogmatically accurate to the source with none of their own flair.

That's my feeling towards Trigun Stampede, I want to respect and prop up an adaptation that's trying to do something different, but I hate half the things it's doing.

[](#frustration)

> [thoughts] >!here it works a lot better since he is still being written as an immature manchild who refuses to grow past his grief!<

[DSOD] >!It feels like a work of balance, he let Kaiba have as much focus as his popularity/the anime ask for, but he got to focus on the underappreciated Yugi instead. That said, [this line at the end](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/7ee1a117d349.jpg) pissed the hell out of me. Calling Kaiba's need to fix his bruised ego faith is just gaslighting. You know who hoped and believed that Atem could stick around with the gang? Anzu, and she had nothing to do with the Atem plot line in this movie. I guess good on her, she moved on, but the point stands.!<

>I need to go look for some monkey kid traveling around with a set of bloomers in a few months and I am very much tired.

[](#concealedexcitement)

> Okay I still don't like Kaiba being in this arc at all, but God, him bitching about Yuugi getting the last Duel with Atem is hilarious.

[](#kotohoops)

> In particular there's an added sequence of Atem summoning the three Gods, an idea Yuugi actually mocks in the Manga for being illogical

Manga Yugi is probably more correct, but he's severely lacking in vision when it comes to the rule of cool

[](#dekuhype)

(Finishing the trio to God's Anger was just [](#justright))

> Don't add Kaiba

Yeah, realizing from you and the other manga readers that Kaiba's arc was supposed to end with Battle City made so much sense, and really contextualized a lot of this latter half of the show lol.

Like okay, I genuinely do love Kaiba myself, but damn, does it get so obvious when he's inserted/unnecessary here.

[](#konosubawot4)

>a lot of the changes come across less so like the results of a different artistic vision, and moreso the result of thinking "What will make more money?

> Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters, the Anime, is very much about the Card Game… and that is a problem because Yu-Gi-Oh, Takahashi Kazuki's original Manga that this is adapting, is NOT about the card game

[](#schemingsaten)

That's actually an interesting observation, and I can definitely see it!

And honestly, while the later entries do *a lot* better with this from memory, mostly on virtue of being their own thing ofc, but even there I feel like that's a bit of a recurring issue. The "Commercial" aspect, let's call it, has a tendency to get in the way of things where broadening the scope and ambition (Or in this case, following the source) could have been better.

Nothing much to be done about that, given that's also clearly proven very successful all in all, but yet another reason I'm now even more interested in reading the manga!

[](#mugiwait)

> sometimes I feel modern adaptations are too obsessed with being dogmatically accurate to the source with none of their own flair

[Yeah](#foldedarms)

And it's rather frustrating that consensus tends to agree with that approach. Not everyone can be Baccano, I guess...

> and while I'll shit on Arc-V and Vrains

[](#crazedlaugh)

> Dark Side of Dimensions.

Oh yeah, I should watch dat

> It was an anniversary movie written by Takahashi himself… and explicitly takes place in the Manga's continuity

[](#suddenshock)

Huh, I never knew that. I guess that'll have to wait a bit then.

On that note, just wanted to give you a shoutout for all the manga comparison stuff throughout!

Rants aside (Though those were very fun to read as well [](#popcorn2)), it's certainly done a great job at making me *very* interested in checking out the manga, so that's been a lot of fun!

[](#bearhug)

**Memory World Arc Thoughts**

The Memory World Arc of Yu-Gi-Oh is a satisfying payoff to so much of what came before. I remember being so excited to watch this arc because we would finally learn the truth about the Pharaoh’s past. The Memory World Arc provides answers to the mysteries of who the Pharaoh was, what happened in Ancient Egypt, what Shadi’s deal is, the origins of the Millennium Items, the origins of Duel Monsters, and Kaiba’s connection to Yugi in Ancient Egypt. The arc also provides a payoff to the Spirit of the Millennium Ring plotline, as he returns one final time to battle against Atem. I love that they don’t face each other in Duel Monsters but instead play the Shadow RPG, calling back to the Monster World TTRPG they played the first time they encountered each other in the manga. It’s the perfect game for their final rematch. And as I just spent plenty of time gushing about above, I think this arc also provides a fantastic finale with Yugi and Atem’s duel. There is so much to love about this arc and I think it’s an overall satisfying conclusion to the series.

With that said, I do think the arc has a number of flaws. Some of these flaws are holdovers from the manga and some of them are from how the anime adapted the arc. The biggest flaw is something present in both the anime and manga. The thing that I most anticipated seeing in Ancient Egypt was the duel between Atem and Seto. That was built up for more than 100 episodes. But when we finally see it, I thought it was disappointing because it was just Seto being brainwashed. There was no real animosity between him and Atem. From what I’ve heard, the original plan was different from this. I have heard that Takahashi originally planned to have Seto genuinely rebel against Atem, but that this was changed when the manga’s run was cut short because of Takahashi’s declining health. I’d be curious to know what the original idea was because I think it would have been a more interesting story.

The anime makes so many odd changes. I won’t go over all of them because I've listed the changes in detail for the past several weeks. In general, though, these changes are either changes for the worse or changes that don’t necessarily improve the story. This all adds up to make me consider the anime version of this arc inferior to the manga version.

Something I do really like about this arc is that it does a much better job than the previous arcs at incorporating concepts from real Ancient Egyptian mythology. I think adding in those real life aspects of Ancient Egyptian mythology adds a lot to the story. It helps a lot with worldbuilding and makes some story elements more emotionally resonant because of how they connect with Ancient Egypt.

This arc was honestly a lot easier to follow this time around than when I first watched it. This is probably because I’m a lot older now, but I remember this arc confused the heck out of me when I saw it as a child. I had a hard time keeping track of all the different versions of the same characters. However, something that still confuses me is what *actually* happened in Ancient Egypt. We aren’t watching what actually happened in Ancient Egypt. We are watching a game based on those memories, where events can play out differently from what happened in reality. There are things that happened in real history that we don’t see and that only get alluded to. I would have liked to know more about those actual events because that’s what actually happened to Atem in the past. It’s something that would be harder to do because of how this arc is set up.

Despite my problems, I do still like this arc. I think it’s still a good final arc and the ending is pretty much perfect for the story. I think it’s a satisfying conclusion.


**My Personal History With Yu-Gi-Oh**

I do have one final story to tell about my personal history with Yu-Gi-Oh and I saved it to the end for a reason. I remember where I was and what I was doing when I read the news that Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh, was dead. I was eating breakfast in a hotel while checking my phone when I read the news. I was dumbstruck, unable to believe it was real. It was such a mysterious death as well, with his body being discovered in the water. [Months later the news came out that Takahashi had died while saving others from a riptide.](https://www.stripes.com/branches/army/2022-10-11/okinawa-riptide-rescue-yu-gi-oh-7646714.html) When I read that news, I cried. Someone who I had admired and looked up to for all my life had died a hero while saving others. I was deeply saddened by his death, but strangely uplifted knowing that he had died in such a selfless and heroic way. I suppose my tears were the only way I could let out that intense mixture of emotions.

I can’t even begin to express my indebtedness to Kazuki Takahashi. So much of who I am is because I encountered Yu-Gi-Oh. It led to me becoming a fan of anime, manga, and card games/tabletop games. My interests would not be the same without it. It’s a series that is near and dear to my heart. The news that the person responsible for so much of what I love was gone saddened me immensely.

But perhaps Jonouchi’s words are most applicable here. I can never truly be okay with the fact that someone I admired so much is gone. But I need to accept it. And even though Takahashi is gone, he’s not forgotten. His creations are still here. The impact that he left on me and countless other people is undeniable. The memories I created thanks to his works are something I will cherish for the rest of my life. I know others feel the same way I did, because the header for r/yugioh was changed to Atem’s thumbs up after Takahashi’s death and it remains that image today. RIP Kazuki Takahashi. He may be gone, but I doubt he will ever be forgotten.

**Whole Series Thoughts**

Yu-Gi-Oh is one of the most important franchises in my life. It was the first series that I became a deeply devoted fan of. Yu-Gi-Oh was an important part of me becoming the nerd I am today. It helped to make me an anime fan. It was the first manga I ever read and got me into reading more manga. It was my first card game and got me into playing other tabletop games. Without Yu-Gi-Oh, I would not be the person I am today. So despite my problems with the anime, I could never dislike it.

I think the central conceit of Yu-Gi-Oh, being a shounen battle series where the battling was done via games, is a really cool idea. Even though it eventually becomes just playing card games, we do get some other games as well, especially in the early chapters of the manga. That said, the card game is a lot of fun. There’s a reason I loved playing the card game for so many years. It’s also quite exciting, more so than many would probably anticipate, to watch the duelists go up against each other playing cards.

The cast of Yu-Gi-Oh is really good. Rewatching the series has given me a lot more appreciation for the characters and the arcs that they go through, especially for Normal Yugi, Jonouchi, and Kaiba. I can see much more just how well-done their character development was.

I did a lot of comparisons between the anime and the manga. Ultimately, if I had to pick one, I’d say I prefer the manga. The anime cut out too much from the manga and made enough changes that I think are changes for the worse for me to consider the manga to be superior. Additionally, the manga doesn’t include the mostly lackluster filler arcs that the anime has far too much of.

Even so, I think the anime is still worth watching. There’s enough times where the anime adapts things well with great animation, music, and performances to make up for the times where the adaptation leaves a lot to desire.

So in all, Yu-Gi-Oh is one of my favorite anime of all time. The only reason I can’t rate it a 10/10 is because of all the flaws the anime has as an adaptation of the manga. That doesn’t lessen my love for the series, though.

**Overall Anime Score: 9/10**

**Overall Manga Score: 10/10**

Thank you to /u/InfamousEmpire for being such a great host for this rewatch. Special shoutout to /u/Raiking02 for being right alongside me in making constant comparisons to the manga as well as providing a lot of background information on the anime’s production. Thank you to everyone else who participated. I hope to see you all again in a future rewatch.

> I completely understand why the anime added them. I even think there’s a justifiable reason for why the anime added them. This is the last duel of the series and it’s between Yugi and Atem. It makes perfect sense for the duel to be a showcase of all the famous, beloved cards that Yugi used previously. It helps to make this feel like a proper final duel where we say goodbye to all these classic cards. I really enjoyed seeing all these cards get used for that exact reason.

Indeed, and compared to other modifications to manga duels & cases of stretched out pacing, it feels rather seamless. Really fun to kinda be back in “the anime makes changes that are actually good” territory in final stretch

> The final move of this duel is loaded with tons of symbolic importance. Yugi places Monster Reborn in the Gold Sarcophagus to prevent Atem from using Monster Reborn to revive Osiris, the God Card. There is so much here. Osiris is the Egyptian god of the afterlife. The myth of Osiris says that he was killed by his evil brother Set, but he was resurrected and brought back to life. Osiris became the judge of the dead and the ruler of the afterlife. Because of this, Osiris was one of the most popular gods of Ancient Egypt. People worshipped and made offerings to Osiris in the hope that they would also be resurrected in the afterlife. Osiris is the God Card most associated with Atem, which is perfect because Atem is also a soul that has been brought back to life thousands of years later. Monster Reborn is perfectly associated with Osiris and Atem because it’s a card that brings a monster back to life from the Graveyard.

[](#binoculars)

The sarcophagus and Monster Reborn symbolism was at the back of my head, but I never thought about associating it with the myth of Osiris before. It’s really cool how despite the Egyptian god cards being the most overtly fictionalized/“theme park version” aspect of the show’s portrayal of Egyptian mythology, the series could still pull off really evocative imagery with them like this

> Mirage Spell is not a real card.

> Mirage Ruler is not a real card.

You could even say they’re mirage cards [](#smugpoint)

> Kazuki Takahashi’s Afterword that was included at the end of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga.

[](#akkotears)

> I don’t know how Magnet Force works on Osiris when Gods aren't affected by trap cards. Yugi doesn’t even try to offer a bullshit explanation this time

Yeah they kinda forgot that whole thing, huh?

>The visual of Yugi’s shadow splitting in two before he and Atem separate is so good.

Kinda funny the Anime foreshadowed that visual all the way back with the opening monologue of episode 1.

>I recommend that everyone read Kazuki Takahashi’s Afterword that was included at the end of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga.

Goodbye messages from the Mangaka are great. ~~I'll never forgive DB's Kanzenban for removing Toriyama's message.~~

> It probably would've worked better if it was incorporated into Atem's Deck instead, although then I guess they'd have to cut him using all three Gods.

Yeah, the duel would have needed a lot of rewriting to make Atem use all those cards instead. That would have done a better job at keeping the same theme present from the manga version of the duel. Even so, I do enjoy the changes that were made so I can't really complain too much.

> "You may have outsmarted me, but I outsmarted your outsmarting!"

Joseph would fit right in with this show.

> Really my biggest gripes about this anime feel more to the greater point about how I don't vibe with long-form Shounen Jump anime

[I can tell](#elves)

>Even Yu-Gi-Oh fans seem pretty mixed about this anime

Honestly leaning more towards dislike, the post-ZeXal stuff isn't exactly beloved.

> I like that little Yugi has Silent Magician as his own version of Dark Magician. He has his own Magician partner that starts small, but grows stronger than even Blue-Eyes.

While it’s understandable why Silent Magician & Swordsman aren’t as iconic as other main character monsters like Black Magician and Blue Eyes (extreme lack of screen time + being kinda gimmicky, especially given their gimmick being outdated in the modern “there are more than two turns?” format of the game), they honestly might be the best in terms of how well they match lil Yugi’s character through their mechanics. They’re certainly my favorites, at least

> That said, the series did eventually did settle into the "Oh yeah, this is exactly what I expect out of this kind of show" many times.

[Yeah…](#tiredaoi)

> The fact that I watched the Toei anime/Season 0 before this really put this anime in a worse light because I just found that to be the better Yu-Gi-Oh anime.

Yeah, it’s apparent in retrospect how much the lack of the season 0 content feels like it reshaped the series as a whole for the worst. It set such a nice baseline of small scale adventure which both really sold the friendships at the core of the series and gave it a really different sense of tone & focus compared to the rest of the show just throwing you into the bigger arcs and especially the filler escalating things even further. And, yeah, the fact that it’s not just the one game and thus has more variety & doesn't feel like a commercial does give it a notch above the Gallop anime

> As for other Yu-Gi-Oh anime, I am not in any rush. The closest one to come to mind is the bad idea to watch VRAINS purely because Ai seems like a blorbo character.

I feel like you’d get a kick out of ZEXAL, but it’s been a *long* time since I watched that so don’t take my word for it

> Even Yu-Gi-Oh fans seem pretty mixed about that anime

If nothing else, VRAINS is considered a step up from its immediate predecessor and it’s generally agreed that at least the first 60 episodes are really great ~~4 recap episodes in close proximity to each other notwithstanding~~

> I like that little Yugi has Silent Magician as his own version of Dark Magician. He has his own Magician partner that starts small, but grows stronger than even Blue-Eyes.

I didn't think about it, but that is a really good point about both Silent Magician and Silent Swordsman. They start off weak, but can become stronger than the usual boss monsters over time. It's a perfect mirror for Yugi's journey. Even the "Silent" part of their name reflects how Yugi is normally a quieter character compared to the more bombastic Atem.

>Rock Ogre Grotto #2

I get amused by the old cards that had #1 or #2 in their names like that.

>The fact that I watched the Toei anime/Season 0 before this really put this anime in a worse light because I just found that to be the better Yu-Gi-Oh anime. I found like it did the story about friendship better. I vastly preferred small Yu-Gi-Oh, where it is a variety of games rather than just 200 episodes of Duel Monsters.

Losing the first volumes of the manga really sucks because that's where we so many important things that establish the backstories and relationships of the main cast, as well as losing out on the wide variety of games that the series had before it became almost exclusively Duel Monsters.

> When are we getting Manjoume Vs Atem

The real dream match we are waiting for.

[](#mugiwait)

> God she's so pretty.

Quite [](#ookii)

>No, no, Bites the Dust was a couple of weeks ago.

I was balancing out the Prison School rewatch, where I used the Gintama "Prison Break S2" title on the last episode instead of the OVA.
