VRAINS and Duel Monsters.

I’m joined by Siliva, who runs a blog called ygoanimation, which covers quirks and issues throughout the various Yu-Gi-Oh! animes.

Our guest is voice actor Mike Pollock, who has had numerous roles in anime and video games, including some parts in the dubbed Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.

UDON released a book called “Art of the Cards”, which features full TCG card artworks of every released card featured in the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (including Capsule Monsters but excluding the Pyramid of Light film). I had the opportunity to look through it. After the jump are my general thoughts on it.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG is ultimately derived from the manga and anime, right? I see many complaints about how characters in the anime “cheat”. Guess what? They don’t. They are not playing Yu-Gi-Oh!. They are playing Duel Monsters. You must think of it as a separate game entirely that happens to share cards and mechanics.

We’ve all seen at least one of these. A shot of a character’s hand is shown for a split second. You might get a preview of what they’ll be playing soon. Other times, they don’t play those cards – but the cards shown still make sense for that character’s Deck theme… most of the time.
