@lina@Inginsub@eidolon yugioh wasn't intended to be a kids series initially, many of its more schizo elements stem from the original series which was about playing games in which the loser would die in horrible ways. Card game took off though and the rest is history
@Vaghrad@Inginsub@eidolon thing is that japanese standards for kids media seem to be different, after all kill la kill was rated r13 despite the blood, gore, nudity and vulgar jokes
@lina@Inginsub@eidolon absolutely yeah. If my memory serves right it was meant to be straight up horror though, with yugi driving people to straight up suicide and people burning alive for cheating. Can't find shit on google about it though, how did search engines get this fucking bad
@lina@Inginsub@eidolon no clue how they made that work in the 4kids version over here, where no one ever died but went to the shadow realm or moved to another country :nostale_altr:
