When They First Came Up With Yu-Gi-Oh - (Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG)

People have said there's no room for cards like Mystic Mine in Yugioh, but as seen in this historical video, torture and suffering has been a fundemental part of the series as Kazuki Takahashi always envisioned it.

I mean people are getting tortured when someone normal summons aleister and you ash them but they somehow still drew the invocation in their opening hand

All Kazuki Takahashi wanted was a table top game, but instead he had to settle for a multi million dollar TCG. Poor Kazuki Takahashi 😥

I gotta hand it to 4kids. Meme-worthy and clunky as "sending people to the Shadow Realm" is, it's a surprisingly innovative attempt to childproof the fact that the Pharaoh made a few dudes fall to their death, nearly cut a man's legs off, got a BUNCH of people stabbed, sent a guy to the hospital with repeated scorpion stings and set more children on fire than a Game of Thrones character.

Ice Bullet Grill Air Hockey is still probably my favorite game

murder, torture, and finger guns
oh yeah!

Yeah, whatever man, back to the murder and torture thing.

It definitely is funny how the 1 off Magic parody became Yugiohs brand a few years later

Ssh Adidas doesn't know about that dont ruin my chance too get blue-eyes skate shoes
