I started re-watching the abridged series before the game started, and now it's getting all crazy meta and I have no idea what bits are based on canon anymore

Bifauxnen posted:yes. please, I'm kinda curious what happened on the actual show instead of the fake show Circle up children, and hear the tale... of DUELIST KINGDOM, told with an amount of snark that is maybe not that significantly different from the Abridged version! So, it starts with a very lonely kid by the name of Yugi Muto. He lives with his grandfather, Solomon Muto, who runs a game store and used to be an archaeologist in Egypt. (incidentally, archaeology is rad as hell in this world, because ANIME). So he just a random priceless egyptian artifact sitting around--the Millennium Puzzle, which came with an inscription saying that whoever put it together would have their wish granted. Everyone sucks at puzzles, and it takes Yugi 8 years of trying before he pieces the thing together, wishing for a friend. He is immediately possessed by the spirit of the ancient pharaoh that the puzzle belonged to. He'll be referred to as 'Yami' here, but that's not actually his name. Yami then goes on to kill a whole bunch of people with death games in the manga before Duel Monsters the card game shows up, but we don't talk about that. Encouraged with his newfound BOARD/CARD GAME POWER, Yugi befriends Joey (via beating him at Duel Monsters) at school, and Tristan (who will basically never do anything noteworthy, but he *does* drive a motorcycle) and Tea (There's an accent on the e that I can't be arsed to put in, it's two syllables), and everything is looking good. I probably have some timeline stuff wrong here, but that's unimportant. Kaiba happens to go to the same school as Yugi, something that basically never comes up ever again and is quietly swept under the rug, and therefore overhears Yugi talking about how his grandpa has a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, one of four copies to exist. Kaiba has the other three. Trust me, this is how card games work. Kaiba tries to buy it, but Solomon refuses because it's precious to him (there's some actual legitimate reason for sentimentality, but that gets revealed way later). Kaiba, being a terrible little poo poo, just rips it apart instead. In case you haven't realized, Kaiba's character really has not been nailed down at this point. The main thing to remember going forward is that Kaiba cares about three things: His younger brother Mokuba, card games, and money, in that order, and the money is really just in service to the first two. He's the owner and CEO of Kaibacorp, which creates all the hologram technology you'll be seeing to make the duels look cool. Yugi and Yami both declare this bullshit, and challenge Kaiba to a duel for revenge, using Solomon's deck. Also, the rules really do not exist at this point, nor will they until Battle City rolls around. Kaiba summons BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON, which is very big, and is certain that he's going to win. Except that Yami (who is doing the dueling, and will be doing all the dueling for Yugi going forward unless noted otherwise) reveals that he's drawn the last piece of EXODIA, THE FORBIDDEN ONE, and therefore instantly wins. Also, because this was a nebulously defined shadow game, he crushes Kaiba's psyche because gently caress you, Kaiba. Anyways, after this, a package with a mysterious videotape in it shows up at the shop. It's from Maximilian Pegasus, filthy rich creator of the game, owner of a private island, and the most fabulous man on the face of the planet. He challenges Yugi to a duel over the TV, dragging everyone into a weird shadow dimension with the power of the MILLENNIUM EYE. They duel, Yugi loses, Pegasus steals Solomon's soul and seals it away in a card, all to force Yugi to sign up for Duelist Kingdom, so that Pegasus can win the Millennium Puzzle from him. Joey also signs up for the tournament, for his own reasons (he needs the money for his sister's poorly-explained eye operation). With that, they get on a boat to Pegasus's private island, and among the other passengers is one Weevil Underwood, who plays using Insect monsters. Weevil asks to see Exodia, because hey, rare cards are cool. Yugi, being a gullible idiot, agrees. Weevil chucks the cards over the side of the boat to be lost forever, because Weevil is a loving dickweed. And the stage is set for the first duel of the tournament!

Duelist Kingdom arc. So when they arrive at duelist kingdom, Pegasus loosely explains that they have some stupid loving gloves, and stupid loving stars, and if they win duels, they get to steal stars and a card or whatever. Anyhow Yugi and Joey basically go off to start their quest to get enough stars to win the ultimate treasure cards. Enter Weevil. Weevil is the little jackass that destroyed Yugi's Exodia, and challenges Yugi to a duel. Yugi accepts and some crazy magic stage pops out of the ground and they start the battle. Yugi starts playing the game when SURPRISE! They are playing in a forest so for whatever loving reason that has never been stated up to this point, bugs and stuff like bugs are just way better. So anyhow, both Yugi and Weevil are terrible, but Yugi is slightly less terrible, so he is kinda winning by mirror forcing all of Weevils dudes. Then Weevil plays a larvae moth and laughs maniacally. Yugi then returns his best card to his deck using a card for basically no reason, to replace it with Kuriboh in attack mode, which is a lovely mary sue card that apparently exists specifically to do ridiculous combos. Weevil proceeds to play a cocoon to create his "ultimate monster" (which sucks) and laughs more. Yugi summons some dudes and gets confused at how playing in a forest makes weevils dudes better, which is fair, because that isn't a rule. So Yugi finally does a fusion summon to make a dragon knight guy, and burns the forest down so weevils dudes aren't better anymore. Then he kills the cocoon, which apparently doesn't matter at all because weevil still makes his ultimate creature, and it still sucks. The moth reduces the dragon knight's power and he kills it. So yugi of course plays some ridiculous mist card that stops the effect of the moth thing (the mist card doesn't exist.) Then he summons summoned skull and apparently this mist card ALSO increases his attack power because it's made of lightning or whatever. So Yugi basically wins because this game has no rules. So joey steals weevils glove and is now in the tournament because whatever there aren't any rules anyway. Up next: Joey vs Mai. or, Can Joey even read?

It needs to be emphasized how garbage Weevils ace monster is. You see, you can't just summon it, you first need to summon Petit Moth, a monster with no abilities and garbage stats. Like, really garbage. The thing about Yu-Gi-Oh is that given the average monster attack value is something like 1500, there is a lot of room for stats to be bad--Petit Moth is terrifically garbage. Then you need to equip Petit Moth with Cocoon of Evolution. To its credit, it actually does give it the defense it needs to not immediately die. It'll still die, mind you, because the next step is to wait four turns. Four of your turns, specificall. Then you can sacrifice it to summon a Great Moth, which has very slightly more attack than, say, Dark Magician. And no abilities. Also if you don't summon it that specific turn, you've missed your chance forever. It is the actual worst. Weevil will still have the whole dumb package in his deck in Battle City, the next arc, but it isn't his ace anymore.

Half of the fun of the anime was watching it, and trying to figure out what the card text must actually say to allow some of that poo poo. Pegasus' Toon World, for example, that could freely steal his opponent's dudes and turn them into cartoon versions. Or that one fisher dude that, with one card, flooded the field, killing a couple of Yugi's cards (I think), and making his shark rider able to submerge and become immune to damage.

Basically it seemed like it was a story about some guys who played a CCG and decided to start printing their own busted cards and everyone is okay with calling them the best.
