Funny thing is, I just finished the Monster World part of the manga and I’m off to Duelist Kingdom, and the first chapter is actually what becomes episode 2 of the DM anime.  So now I know why most people hate episode 1–because of how jumbled it is from one or two bits of Death-T and other stuff.  Probably the same with episode 12 since they ram in what’s basically an abridged Monster World in the middle of DK.

And with Monster World read, that shot of Bakura stabbing his hand with one of the towers on the RPG that I’ve seen floating around makes some more sense.  I always thought it was just him being randomly sadistic or something lol.

Guess I’ll try rewatching Series 1 now for a bit to see how that’s even more of a jumbled mess again; been reading up on the differences between it and the manga over on NAC, and I haven’t seen it since checking out the watch episode a long while back.
