Yu Gi Oh is a story of grieving. Of understanding that nothing is eternal or immortal. Of accepting that a goodbye always ends up coming, but that it doesn’t have to be a fatality or the end of the world, even if it hurts.
Behind it’s façade of “card games manga”, it dealt with themes that are often, voluntary or not, hidden in children’s media, despite being realities any person can end up living.
If today, countless of people learned how to continue walking even after a loss, it’s a bit thanks to you Kazuki Takahashi.

the references to pot of greed
explaining copying effects/costs
targeting/non targeting effects
chaining card effects

“If an ‘Armed Dragon’ monster(s) and/or a LIGHT Machine Fusion Monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish 1 ‘Ojama’ card from your hand, face-up field, or GY instead. You can only use each of the following effects of ‘Ojama Pajama’ once per turn.
During the Main Phase: You can add 1 ‘Ojama’ card from your Deck to your hand, then discard 1 card.
If this card is sent to the GY: You can Special Summon as many of your banished ‘Ojama’ monsters as possible.”
