man rewatching all the duels leading up to zarcs revival it really is incredible how so much of the tragedy is born from, once again, people misunderstanding zarc.
leo claimed zarc wanted to be revived, yusho believed that zarc placed yuya in his care to be raised as a duelist, edo kaito and co all think that zarc is the one behind everything but zarc is literally the footnote here. He was a peace, he didnt WANT any of this, even in the original dimension it was people forcing him into fights, ignoring both his and the monsters feelings. it was everyone pushing yuya into having to win, pressuring and cornering him that made a wounded animal lash out once again. zarc even tries to claim credit for all of it including the creation of pendulum later in his own duel massacre but ray calls him out on the fact that it was born specifically because he wasnt the irredeemable monster that he styled himself as and that everyone thought he was. pendulum was born specifically because of the indecision that stemmed from whether he wanted to continue his revenge or be at peace, and it was leo who once again birthed the monster with his own hands
what’s this? The dragon is disappearing on its own???? WHAT GIVES????
OH !!!!! That makes MUCH more sense and is MORE touching than Anime!Kaiba fucking hacking into the system. It’s because the BEWD is Seto Kaiba’s and she has a HEART and thus stopped listening to someone who wasn’t her fucking master after realizing her true master fucking woke from his coma. Wow!
But no. Let’s have some stupid-looking dumb clown thing that claims to be the ‘evil’ that Yami drove out of Kaiba’s heart instead. Fuck these episodes, man.
I was gonna give Yoshida the benefit of the doubt and say “Maybe Jack’s referring to when he and Yusei met as kids,” but.
This is the Shin Yoshida, who conveniently uncanonized Scoopshipping because he didn’t want to deal with that gang drama even tho he could’ve recanonized it without referring to Carly’s Dark Signer episodes.
EVEN THO HE MENTIONS THE DARK SIGNER ARC ANYWAY.
Like, what is this heresy. Yusei did nothing of the sort for you, Jack. That was all Carly.
don’t make fun of shun’s clear trauma over the destruction of his dimension (this includes trigger jokes and stuff like that)
don’t draw/put him in situations where he’s visually uncomfortable with fusion related stuff (fusion summoning, fusion users, etc etc) because you think it’s funny
speaking as someone who suffers from trauma, its not cool, its not in any way funny, and it just makes u look like an ableist ass who thinks poking fun at others PTSD is funny and ok to do. its 2015 guys pls try to be better fans
