Finally some screentime for Yubel!
I would have loved to see more of post-season 3 Yubel and more interaction between them and Judai, I mean:
“Can you do something about all that sass?”
xD
Damn, that’s cool. -
same
Juudai set one card face down on the friend zone.
SHIT

yubel ruining my life with their facial expressions pt. 1

people on here are like “i want queer dragons” and “i like monster people, we need more queer monster people” all the time, and, please watch (the original japanese sub of) yugioh gx, look, look
- there’s this character called yubel
- that them -_-
- they’re a fucking duel spirit dragon person
- they’re intersex (well, kinda— no genitals but only one breast, the other is flat) and genderqueer
- i can’t tell you exactly what happens without spoiling you but they like a human boy
- they are a complex character that’s not entirely evil nor good
- and also they are really cute
basically if you want
- a cute monster person
- who is queer
- and a complex character
- and is in love with a human
please watch yugioh gx. (the english dub made yubel a cis girl though so watch the original japanese with subs)
also if you’re worried about the rest of the show being shitty because it’s a yugioh series: you will be surprised, trust me
everyone reblog this so that people who want cute queer dragons will be able to find cute queer dragons

Yubel isn't "Nonbinary". Yubel is a girl.

Yes, let’s look at an immensely powerful dragon who nearly destroyed all of existence through a lovely combination of love and alien brainwashing and decide that it’s of vital importance that they be a girl dragon.
I think I understand the mindset through which 4Kids makes editing decisions now.
japanese yubel uses ボク (boku) pronouns associated with males and gender-neutrality to refer to themself anon so lmao/.
Nonbinary

I absolutely adore this part, because it both shows how far Judai has come in terms of development (from the self-centered, lackadaisical boy we met in the first episode to the almost-man who can speak about love and grief and anguish and know intimately what each of these mean and what price he had to pay for them) and it provides a very good contrast to how the duel will end.
In a standard shounen anime series, after such a speech designed to tear into the villain and rip apart every last shred of their underlying motivation, you expect very little in the way of forgiveness. The hero might not kill the villain (this is shounen, after all), but they’ll certainly not forgive them. Yet this is exactly what Judai does, in the end. He chooses to let go of his anger and his (justified) wish for vengeance and instead of ending this tragic saga with one more cold-blooded murder in a list of thousands, he forgives Yubel and accepts hir feelings. I’d say that by choosing the soul-fusion, he’s also acknowledging that he was partially wrong in what he said above — yes, Yubel’s love was unbelievably warped by pain, loneliness, confusion, grief, obsession, guilt and a thousand other things, with the Light as the cherry on top. It was a terrible, abusive, controlling emotion, everything that can go wrong with romantic emotions…. but one of the words it couldn’t be described with was ‘delusional.’ In everything, Yubel was always true to hirself, even if that truth and hir own perception were both broken, tainted and twisted beyond all recognition. If Judai hadn’t acknowledged this to himself, I don’t think he could’ve gone through with the fusion or found it in himself to offer forgiveness and put both himself and Yubel on the long road to healing.

on a related note I’m never going to stop being angry about Yubel’s English card names.
Terror Incarnate and The Ultimate Nightmare are both just “look Yubel is scary look how scary they are ooooo are you scared yet”, which is… basically what I expect from dub YGO, but it sucks that the TCG uses those names.
But Das Abscheulich Ritter and Das Extremer Traurig Drachen - bad translation aside - say a lot more about Yubel’s character. They’re the abominable knight, this great horrific guardian devoted to their prince at all costs. They’re the extremely sorrowful dragon.
They’re so much more than a nightmare.
