- This is especially likely considering that Hank seemed to be raising his children in an extremely traditional environment modeled after Ancient Egypt (Marik implied that one of the reasons he picked up that yaoi comic book in the first place was because he was never given any reading material other than his "scriptures"). It should be fairly obvious why gay rights and outdated conservative Egyptian values don't play nice with each other.
- An alternate route between LK and Megumi Hayashibara is LK -> Mokuba -> Tara Jayne -> Ash's Bulbasaur -> Megumi.
- Instrumentality is everyone except Shinji, Asuka and maybe everyone who doesn't want to be.
- Alternatively, he makes his henchmen change their name to Steve.
- Even better, he could be a shinigami. Would that mean all the millennium people are? It makes so much sense!
- "September 19, 1996: Ushio Urameshi dies in a fight over a pile of leaves, which he believes to be money. November 5, 1996: Goro Inogashira dies in a game nitroglycerin grill hockey. February 12, 1997: Seto Kaiba dies of a fatal heart attack after losing to a highly improbable series of card draws while playing Magic and Wizards." But since he's a Millenium Item holder, and therefore equivalent to a Death Note user...
- Makes sense. Kakashi in Naruto: The Abridged Series does own a Death Note which he keeps an Icha Icha cover on; we see him writing in it early on ("Sakura...hit by truck..."). The fact that it doesn't actually work can be explained by the Abridged Series' taking place in a Crapsack World.
- episode 42 "I AM KIRA".
- Marik. Take the M off and Spell it backwards.
- Confirmed in episode 33. Yes. Canon just confirmed a WMG. Be Afraid
- Talking part is confirmed, but the relationship seems heterosexual. To the extent a relationship with a large body of water can be, one supposes.
- Mako did, in fact, refer to the ocean as "she" and "ex-wife."
- But wasn't Hapi a hermaphrodite?
- Talking part is confirmed, but the relationship seems heterosexual. To the extent a relationship with a large body of water can be, one supposes.
- Alternately, Mako is in a heterosexual relationship with Steve, goddess of the ocean. Remember that in one of the Evil Councils of Doom, Pegasus says he knows a few girls named Steve, and he lives on the island where we first see Mako.
- Well, Episode 37 seems to confirm this when Zorc destroyed the studio audience. Bakura, after the attack, states: "God, we are so canceled".
- Confirmed in the season two finale: Zorc is now on The Suite Life of Zorc and Cody.
- Yes. Everything from Téa jealous of Mai's...assets to the Neko Porno...
- LittleKuriboh created Yu-Gi-Oh, but Konami stole the idea with their time machine. The same time machine they used to predict the upcoming Manhattan Incident.
- This would explain why everyone references it as cannon. This would also explain 4Kids's Youtube channel.
- Oh come on, Marik is sexually irresistible to everyone.
- Especially guys and girls named Steve.
- Alternatively, Marik is Jack the Ripper.
- The real series has Yami Marik wanting the Rod to show him a vision it showed other characters, but it refused to. Maybe when Abridged gets to that part...
- Can't be. There's only one explosive in his deck.
- I predict that that prediction is simply misdirection in a vain attempt to generate hype.
- Isn't the third season the one where the Big Five trap them in a virtual world, or something along those lines? Could be foreshadowing of the next plot point—that the Big Five tries to cancel the show by removing the main characters.
- Confirmed, interestingly enough; this is pretty much exactly the scenario that the Season Two finale sets up.
- Wasn't that confirmed? Aside from Word of God IIRC, he had that phone call where Croquet is refusing to get back together with his ex?
- It could be that he turned straight and was no longer interested in his ex.
- Sexuality, though at times incredibly fluid, does not work that way. Well, if LK wanted it to, it could in the abridged universe, but it doesn't in Real Life.
- Just look at the hair, speaks for itself.
- Kemo (ATTENTION DUELISTS guy) tells Tristan "My hair is your father". Given that their hair is very similar (one points up, the other points forward), this is at least somewhat plausible. Which leads me to my next WMG...
- It lives in his brain, as a Yeerk does, and has control over the host, but does so indirectly: It tells Kemo to do something, and he performs the requested action while informing everyone in the vicinity of what his hair is telling him to do (Abduct a small child, defy gravity, cry...).
- And in regard to the previous WMG, the hair reproduced, infecting Tristan. Why he refers to the commanding entity as his voice rather than his hair may be explained by his Ditz status.
- also in one of the abridged movies, the one without Anubis, he is searching for his hair and working for Kaiba, for reasons he isn't sure about
- And in regard to the previous WMG, the hair reproduced, infecting Tristan. Why he refers to the commanding entity as his voice rather than his hair may be explained by his Ditz status.
- What about Mai's breasts?
- The whole "save the fourth wall from being broken" thing is simply one massive set up for Kaiba to say that line. That, and he just HAS too, it's too hilarious not to be used!
- Unlikely. Nothing can top "Screw the vagina, I have a vagina."
- Ebonics. "Screw 'da rules, I gots money."
- 4Kids' true horrifying shape can be seen in Yugi's nightmare in the first Cr* psule Monsters spinoff episode.
- And Marik, being the ultimate evil (hot) psycho, is their leader. Not to mention his hair is almost as freaky as Cthulhu's tentacles...
- Don't overly worry about that. At the rate LK has been progressing through the story the past couple of years, he's on pace to finish sometime in 2023 or so.
- If LK ever gets to the Orichalcos arc, Dartz will. Only for his master plan though.
- Or alternately, near the end of their adventure on defeating the others, they than discovered they caused the third season to happened by trying to defeat the others, causing their heads to go boom bleeding out unicorns, rainbows, lollipops, Hulk Hogan, Bearded Idiot, and Crazy Steve!
- Jossed. Tristan thinks he has his regular voice, but everyone else just hears a monkey.
- And they're owned by the Weeping Angels.
- Impossible. Jounnochi told Yugi that their friendship is invisible, yet they have shared on screen portions where they're friends. So their invisible friendship works even when you're looking at it.
- That wasn't in the abridged series, and if it was, as Téa would (Most likely) say, "The power of friendship is strong enough to overcome the 'Invisible Objects' rule!"
- "Now that I have said it, it must be canon!"
- That wasn't in the abridged series, and if it was, as Téa would (Most likely) say, "The power of friendship is strong enough to overcome the 'Invisible Objects' rule!"
- Don't forget Yugi had a feeling that he was needed for something important, it was Téa that kept him from finding out what it was.
- Nah, Marik is Yami Bakura's Hate Interest.
- Maybe Marik is Yami Bakura's kismesis.
- You do realize that the batteries ran out?
- ...Damn you, Melvin.
- Melvin should definitely be the main suspect of this theory; Marik was vocally anti-Twilight in Marik Plays Bloodlines. Besides, it would be more in character for him.
- Yugi: Straight, but an on-and-off Chaste Hero and occasionally Oblivious to Love, although it depends on the episode. He seems to have a kink for costumes. (Téa's waitress uniform, the Dark Magician Girl...)
- However he and Yami seem....a little friendly. It is repeatedly hinted they take part in S&M and Yami's main concern in the extra videos is to get Yugi back home.
- Not to mention Yugi's fascination with Marik's abs. Though who can blame him?
- However he and Yami seem....a little friendly. It is repeatedly hinted they take part in S&M and Yami's main concern in the extra videos is to get Yugi back home.
- Yami: Either a Chaste Hero or Bi.
- Definitely bi if you take "What Would Yugi Do?" as canon. Also not very much of a Chaste Hero. He's a bit lacking on the chastity part.
- Well besides "What would Yugi Do," which wasn't created by LK, Yami hasn't really shown much interest in anything or anyone other than card games.
- But he does have some Ho Yay with Yugi. And during the duel with 'Ghost Kaiba' he said "If you're a ghost then I'm straight!" Turns out it wasn't a ghost but a gay clown, so yeah..
- If the abridged movie proves anything, he seems to be unsuprised and fairly happy about joey's surprise buttsex move at the end of the movie. Also, it's pretty much implied that they have done it (more than once):
Yami: With you, Joey, it's never a surprise.- More recent non-episodic videos seem to be turning him into a Depraved Bisexual
- Téa: Straight, and very horny.
- Joey: Straight.
- What, really? After his wet dreams about Kaiba, and his romantic scene with Yugi?
- Oh please,everyone's had a sex dreams with Kaiba.
- True, but he definitely likes Mai's breasts, so he's probably a bisexual furry.
- There's also some definite Ho Yay between him and Tristan, so I'd be inclined to say bi.
- I guess after episode 50, his bisexuality is canonically confirmed.
- Tristan: Probably straight, at least for Serenity, but there is that obvious Ho Yay with Duke Devlin (and earlier, Joey).
- Seto Kaiba: Card Game-sexual
- Well, he does get a boner from seeing the Egyptian God cards...
- Bisexual or Gay, He is a Stalker with a Crush to Yugi (In the Movie)
- I saw that as just Kaiba screwing with Yugi's mind, along with the fanbase.
- Episode 54 indicates that he finds Téa's breasts "nice", but could be in a non-sexual way (specially since he's not particularly interested anyway).
- Well, Kaiba did have sex with his dragon-girlfriend thousands of years ago, so that's a huge point for the Straight/Bi categories. Then again, it's also canon that the sex wasn't very good, so there's still a flimsy but possible case to be made that Kaiba was using her as The Beard.
- He asks Kemo out to a movie in Episode 13, so I'm inclined to say he's Gay or Bi.
- Nah, he likes dragons, that means he’s asexual.
- Mai's Breasts: Straight.
- Fake.
- They're not fake!
- Riiiiiiight.
- Idontbelieveyou!
- Serenity: Straight.
- Mako: Hydrosexual.
- Mokuba: He probably hasn't figured it out himself yet, since he's only recently gone through Japanese Puberty.
- He is barely into his teens, I really don't think its even crossed his mind.
- Pegasus: This is where it gets difficult. Um... straight? Gay? Straight Gay? Camp Straight? Bi? Camp Straight is probably the best bet.
- Most likely bi as he does show interest on Kaiba. But then again, he might just be faking it for no
conceivable reasonbecause he's Pegasus.- Word of God said he's straight, and he was coming on to Kaiba just to creep him out. Mainly because its funny. I personally agree with him there. As for dreaming about Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, hey, lots of straight men like that movie - its funny.
- he is Camp Straight, in Episode 11, Kaiba says "Pegasus is ruthless, camp, but ruthless.", add that to the fact that Word of God says he is straight and you are done.
- Most likely bi as he does show interest on Kaiba. But then again, he might just be faking it for no
- Bakura: Gay? Or just British?
- He's not gay. He's just British.
- If not gay, than probably Bi. He once asked Téa if she fancied a shag, and then he said the following in Episode 15:
- Téa: Hey, stop groping my Yugi-muffin!
- Bakura: Bugger off, you had your chance!
- And then there was that episode where Tristan says they had a bad dream, can they sleep with Téa?, and Bakura says he doesn't want to sleep with a girl...
-
Yami BakuraFlorence: Gay. Then again, he does love his fangirls. Of course, that may just be a Batman Gambit. See the below WMG.- Bisexual, he loves his fangirls.
- Maybe he loves them platonicly?
- Gay. Or maybe just gay for Marik...
- Bisexual, he loves his fangirls.
- Marik: Gay
- If Marik is gay, however, he seems to be the last one to know it. As he says in the "On a Blimp" video, "We're not gay, by the way, least I don't think that I am....", and every time he's accused of being gay, he's often violently denied it.
- He is Bi, and I refuse to believe otherwise.
- Well, he wants to have fangirls.
- His fangirls are The Beard.
- Or he just loves having people admit how gorgeous he is, regardless of whether or not he's attracted to them.
- Gay. Gay. Gay, and he knows it, if you take this episode of his Let's Play series as canon (forward to twelve minutes).
- Actually, in one video he mentioned having cybersex with someone he thought was a girl. Of course, it was actually Florence in disguise, and we have no idea how the whole thing actually went, so...
- Well, as noted below, Melvin seems to think Marik is gay, and as was pointed out, he kinda is Marik, so...
- Another supporter of Marik is Bi. One of LK's fics, albiet non-canon, has Marik rather excited at the prospect of going out on a date with a woman and subsequently a bit heartbroken when she doesn't show. At the very least he is easily won over by the prospect of love.
-
Yami MarikMelvin: Gay, and more open about it.- He is the gay one!
- Marik, is that you?
- Melvin seems ambiguous, since he has only tried to hug males, but does seem pretty confident calling Marik gay.
- Isn't it obvious? Melvin is obviously Marik's Mr. Hat. He's Marik's Gay Side incarnate! And he'll only be defeated when Marik admits it!
- He is the gay one!
- Ishizu: Hard to tell. Bakura's gaydar was leading him in her direction until its batteries ran out... See the above WMG for an interesting theory.
- Duke Devlin: Anything that moves.
- It doesn't even have to move...
- He seems to prefer girls, although that could be because of his disease...
- Kemo's Hair: Straight, and vigorously gelled.
- Yeah, it was able to reproduce to create Tristan, so...
- Since it's an alien parasite (see entry above somewhere) It might reproduce itself asexually, like a starfish
- The Satanic Teddy Bear: Unknown.
- Asexual, because it's a teddy bear. Or hate-sexual.
- Dartz: Gay. I mean, he does want to do Marik on a motorcycle.
- DUUUUUEH!
- Impossible to decipher.
- DUUUUUEH!
- Yugi's Grandpa: Definitely gay for the Black Luster Soldier.
- Possibly not gay, may be the fact that the poster is inanimate.
- Although Yugi wouldn't exist if he hadn't copulated with a woman at some point - unless Yugi is adopted.
- I don't know, from the side BLS is built rather like Mai, unless those are truly absurd pecs◊.
- Black Buster Soldier is female.
- But since Black Luster Soldier is the Pharaoh's Ka monster, and the Pharaoh's a guy...So. Confused.
- I say he's Bi because he goes between Black Luster Soldier and then talking about Téa's Boobs. Or Gazongas. Or titties.
- This makes sense, especially considering the recent videos featuring Florence and Marik. Perhaps their souls are in purgatory, and they're spending their time there making videos that show them acting very gay and Bishie, as part of a Batman Gambit to attract enough fangirls to start Sending Stuff to Save the Show to get Y:TAS Un-Canceled.
- Seems pretty much true, as we know that both of them come back eventually in the series proper. Hell, to this troper, that was the whole point of both the duet and the deleted scene (of them professing their "hate" for each other); a last-minute attempt at more Ho Yay fanservice to save them.
- Jossed. Season Third has officially started.
- That doesn't make it any less canon, especially with the recent reveal of Kiaba being a robot. ;)
- human...
- I seriously doubt Linkara is God. The Nostalgia Critic, on the other hand..
- that wasn't Mai he got angry at, he was angry at Yugi during Yugi's existential crisis.
- Doma company will be the metaphor about the network or conspirators to bring back 4Kids, or happen to be a neo-4Kids group.
- They use the Seal of Orichalcos to replace the main characters and employees that fail are "fired" immediately. Commentary on why they wager souls in a children's card game. Again.
- Valon probably says something like "Screw the rules I have fists!" in his battles. Joey will enjoy his battle with Valon because they decide to just punch each other."Time to du-" * gets Falcon Punched by Valon* "Hey that's not in the rules!""Screw the rules I have fists!""I can live with that!" * They start punching each other like a street fight*
- How would that be any different to the actual fight in the main show?
- Valon and Joey's fight will be decided by who has the silliest and most inappropriate accent.
- Great Leviathan is the reincarnation of 4Kids chairman Alfred R. Kahn.
- Dartz is a fanatic, or someone who supports the 4Kids censoring so his child could watch the show, but....
- Yami plays Seal of Orichalcos to prove he can be a better villain and more successful because he is main character (and prove that Yu-Gi-Oh villains can be straight?). His lesson is that main characters can actually lose. Everybody's reactions should be interesting.
- Unlikely to prove that particular point, considering "if that's a ghost then I'm straight."
- Commentary on why Dark Magician Girl is more important in this arc than Dark Magician. The explanation is obvious.
- Commentary on how they choose the most interesting battlefields to fight (on a plane? on a train?).
- Comments about Alister and Tracey having the same voice. His brother was not kidnapped so many times like Mokuba.
- Dartz's soul wall could have some interesting people.
- Dartz is officially a loser and so are his mooks, so they most likely wont show up in the abridged series
- Mariks a loser, but he still remained a villain.
- Everyone dead at this point in Dragon Ball Abridged will be on the soul wall, except Ghost Nappa who will always be with Vegeta.
- It'll contain every character of every abridged series that's been cancelled. Bennet's Elfin Lied, Naruto Abridged, ect
- Dartz is officially a loser and so are his mooks, so they most likely wont show up in the abridged series
- Mai joins Doma so she whines about how she has never won a duel before but surprises everyone when she defeats Pegasus.
- Rafael gets ridicule about having big muscles.
- Alister will be mocked for looking like a girl.
- The characters are really gonna try and use that? Looking like they do?
- Legend of Heart will not transform the Legendary Dragons into knights. Instead, it will summon a far more powerful forrce than they - Ma-Ti.
- Or more likely, Fluttershy.
- And Dartz will summon Malachite.
- Rebecca will have aged 8 years while none of the main characters have aged at all (due to the evil influence of her Teddy), which explains why her voice has changed (so LittleKuriboh can now do the voice) and why she keeps trying to shuffle Yugi's deck.
- Joey and Mai will both say that Valon isn't as "bad" as Melvin.
- Commentary on the fluctuating animation quality - e.g. Yami's inconsistantly-sized hair will become a character in its own right. Possibly possessed by Kemo's hair. Or something.
- Partially related to an above suggestion: Dartz doesn't feed the Leviathan souls, he feeds it abridged series. That's why he hates Marik - he knows that Melvin will try to eliminate the last abridged series Dartz needs for his evil plan!
- The Great Leviathan is Slender Man. "Hey guys! I heard you had an internet series. Can I be in the internet series?"
- In the battle between Dartz vs Yugi and Kaiba, Dartz will be so incomprehensible that Kaiba and Yugi will disregard him. Instead they will just screw the rules and make up a new set of rules that will trigger instant win for them.
- close, Gozaboro had a plan to resurrect Noah in kaiba's body, season 4 is Noah and the rest of Team 4Kids trying to possess the main characters.
- Or Noah was originally planned to have the same position as Kaiba, but instead Seto took the role.
- close, Gozaboro had a plan to resurrect Noah in kaiba's body, season 4 is Noah and the rest of Team 4Kids trying to possess the main characters.
- And Kaiba will interrupt Noah in the middle of that. He will say something like "Don't you DARE steal my catch phrase that I only used once."
- Kaiba has used that quote during a drug trip, I don't think Noah will repeat any quote, especially a seto quote.
- It's confirmed in a way. Noah said at the end of Episode 46 something along the lines of "Who is the green haired spoiled rich brat screwing the rules now?" Whether or not Kaiba will say anything about it like in their duel near the end of Season 3 is still up in the air though
- And Kaiba will interrupt Noah in the middle of that. He will say something like "Don't you DARE steal my catch phrase that I only used once."
- Those videos are now re-available on youtube, through cardgamesFTW or YuGiOhAbridged.com
- Jossed as of Episode 50. Téa just sucks at card games in this continuity.
- Well, at least you can't accuse her of "never playing Duel Monsters". It's just that The Power of Friendship was no match for the power of penguins.
- May not be jossed. Both Yugi and Joey still have one more fight together against the Big 5.
- Jossed as of Episode 50. Téa just sucks at card games in this continuity.
- Mako will somehow make another appearance somehow in a really unpredictable role.
- The Great Leviathan is the living embodiment of the sea. When no-one else can stop it, only the seas lover can truly quell her rage. Mako shall be the hero of the Doma arc.
- Alternatively, his evil plot for season 5 will be to get 'Zorc and Pals' a second season.
- So... You DO realize that "hair" and "voice" are very different words, right?
- Johnson did it.
- in order to accomplish his plan, he has planned ALL the events from the start to the end. He is putting Yugi to duel again and again and again and again in order to make him stronger so he can be a suitable sacrifice to obtain his new body. He is, also, Florence, Zorc, Gozaburo, Noah, Dartz, Obama, Adolf Hitler, Freezer, Bill gates and Tristan's boss.
- He has planned EVERY one of the series events or expected, succesfully, to see them by made without his help. He even make Kaiba fire his parents and make him think that he did that without his help!
- The only thin that he hasn't planned is Gramp's unabbility to die.
- I'm sorry, was that paragraph meant to convey any meaning whatsoever? Because it didn't.
- Puerto Rican.
- Someone with cards so new no one knows how they work.
- That title appears to have gone to Yusei.
- Fond of all things Extreme! After all, that's what the X stands for.
- Confirmed in the Bonds Beyond Time Abridged (the movie).
- Fighter likely ruined everything, because Thief said so.
- Going by an above theory, Mai's breasts and Kemo's hair could be members of the same species. Hair is the male, and breasts are the female. Hence why Kemo's hair had a crush on her boobs.
- This needs to happen.
- When Mega Ultra Chicken is in its Phoenix Mode, Tristan will think it's Moltres.
- Gozuboro will have replaced Al Kahn, and use the power of 4Kids to censor all guns-thus allowing him to take over the world with his own.
- Jossed.
- During the Yami vs Melvin duel, when Marik regains control of his body after and is about to surrender the duel to the Pharaoh, "I'll face myself" from Persona 4 soundtrack will play. That would be so damn fitting.
- There will be a joke about Marik taking out his shirt after that.
- When Mai gets her More than Mind Control, she will be oblivious to her breasts. Joey will consider this Dartz's Moral Event Horizon.
- Dartz and his motorcycle gang will remember their Council of Evil days, and Season 4 will be their attempt at being better villains.
- The demonic teddy bear will be revealed as a shell that Dartz will break, and Leviathan its true form.
- After Marik briefly takes over Téa's body, she will ask what happened. Joey will reply that Malik got inside her. Téa will naturally take this the wrong way, and nosebleed.
- Marik will have a Face–Heel Turn after realising that, since he's so damn affable, being a villain would be pointless. This may be a ploy to get more fangirls on his side. Or he turns good because of the 4Kids Mind Rape he'll suffer in the above WMG.
- That creepy Chinese women in the KC Grand Prix will be introduced as "Vivian Wong - 4kids approved. Guns are bad, but pedophiles are A-OK."
- Thief King Bakura will also say "tell my fangirls...I love them" at some point in his arc. Will be sorely disapointed if he doesn't.
- Exodia Necros will be immune to attack, effects, magic or spell cards because, due to it being black, no-one will want to hurt it since that would be racist. Kaiba cancels this out by saying that a black man being immune to attacks because he's black is itself racist because regular monsters aren't immune.
- Jossed.
- Vivian Wong will mistake Yugi for a baby panda and try to take him back to China.
- That puts his "Leather Pants" song in a new perspective. He needs the power of the pants, because his true nature won't be glossed over. Even if he is the hottest monster there is. The Ho Yay, however, is not a lie.
- Or, Marik actually is completely straight, but does a poor job convincing everyone because he knows that if people think he is straight, he won't get any fangirls. This also explains why Pegasus couldn't have any people thinking he's straight: he also wants to use the fangirl army for his own ends. Yami Bakura does too, though he doesn't have to worry since he's already gay.
- If that's true, he has a pretty low opinion of all his friends and once intimidating enemies. And the girl he's in love with.
- Marik kicks Crump out of Téa's body at the beginning of Episode 53. Besides, he was "in her body long before it was considered cool."
The plot will focus on Marik and Bakura trying to find the Dragon Balls to wish themselves into being the main characters of the show, Ghost Nappa and the Pharoah accidentally switching places (putting them into the Millenium Puzzle and Vegeta's head, respectively) and the satanic teddy bear will end up having the crap scared out of him by Mr. Popo.With Little Kuriboh's proficiency with Flash and Team 4 Star's Photoshop skills, it could happen.
- Marik kicked Crump out of Téa's body.
- Téa gets her body back because Marik (Who was inside of her before Crump) kicks him out.
- Actually, in one of the evil council episodes they reveiled that his middle name is Steve. So jossed.
- Hey, who gave Tristan access to the Internet?? Get off the computer Tristan!
- Continuing from there, the outer fouth wall will be broken, and someone will explain that Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series wasn't actually canceled and that the Big 5 and Noah arent actually 4Kids.
- Sigfried- A relative of Hans and Gruber.
- Season 0!Bakura- A full American instead of British. Possibly a stereotypical Dungeons & Dragons player.
- Possibly Jossed? There has been a few con videos where LK has discussed this with the crowd, and he says he had debated this personality (or at least, the American part) though the crowd sounded displeased. Whether this will affect how he appears is out there, but he DID say that he was going to start doing the Season 0 out of order, with Bakura's episode up next in the lineup. We'll see.
- Bobasa- POPO!!
- Orochimaru and Kabuto- I know it's from a different show by LittleKuriboh, but I'll still put this one out there. They will be depicted as Dr. Weird and Steve. Considering LittleKuriboh and his love for [adult swim] Shout Outs, it should be expected.
- Jossed. In the abridged universe, Fallout is just a game. A game Yami plays.
- Not the first time a video game[1] has predicted the future.
- Or it could an alternative universe, where the characters are either time travelers or they were aware of those stuffs to begin with.
- I'm fairly certain he confirmed this himself in several conventions. He has also written M-rated Thiefshipping fanfiction.
Unfortunately for him, he doesn't get to enjoy any of this, because the show has just ended for real.
- The Lampshade Hanging on the Mundane Made Awesome is due to Kaiba being continuously baffled over how what is essentially a children's card game manages to be so important. Yami, being a symbol of the bizarre "the fate of the world" crap he dealt with through the whole series, is portrayed as a pompous, immature Caligula as a Take That!. The Depraved Bisexual tendencies are probably Kaibaservice.
- The Abridged Series has even more Ho Yay than normal because Kaiba's trying to appeal to the female demographic.
- Seto Kaiba was sick of Yugi and pals treating him as a potential friend and his competitors seeing him as weak for Mokuba. Ridding his abridged interpretation of love for Mokuba is an attempt to prevent him begin targeted.
- Yugi and his friends are jerkasses in the Abridged Series because its Seto Kaiba running the series. Abridged!Yugi has decent moments because even though Seto hates him, he's still a Worthy Opponent. Kaiba never bought into the whole Power of Friendship thing, hence why Abridged!Téa is even more obsessed than normal. Tristian is Too Dumb to Live because Kaiba thinks he's an idiot. Duke Devlin's reputation is a reflection of being a teenage heart-throb in the main series.
- Abridged!Joey is Kaiba's Take That! against Joey, hence why he's portrayed as a Jerkass who cares more about trading cards. The Furry Fandom and homoerotic dreams about Kaiba? That's plain old, unadulterated Foe Romance Subtext on Kaiba's part
- Gozuboro Kaiba was portrayed as Laughably Evil because Kaiba wanted to lay one last Take That! against his old man, completely wrecking his reputation as a serious weapons manufacture. Dartz is a similar insult
- Since Kaiba doesn't buy into the "fate of the world rest on trading cards" spiel, he turns Marik and Bakura into comic relief. The actors are gay in real life, and willing to make jokes at their expense about their relationship-Marik's actor decided Abrided!Marik would be camptotally not gay. The recent Tear Jerker about their break-up reflects the actors breaking up.
- 4Kids exist in the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe, and Kaiba is not a fan. Dragon Ball exists as a show in the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe as well, hence the Team Four Star references.
- The only problem with this theory is that it would require Kaiba to have a sense of humor. Not to mention enough self-awareness to be willing to make fun of himself (episode 62 and the blue eyes white dragon jet anyone?).
- Mokuba is a co-writer.
- The only problem with this theory is that it would require Kaiba to have a sense of humor. Not to mention enough self-awareness to be willing to make fun of himself (episode 62 and the blue eyes white dragon jet anyone?).
- But that's crazy...
- When they flashback to when Marik got Team Four Star suspended, Yami will say That's definitely going to be a dated joke.
- There will be a Take That! at Sword Art Online with the VR World arc.Téa: I'm a woman and I have no idea what I'm doing.
Yugi: This is kind of like Sword Art Online if the writers had more respect for women.
- Marik is currently jumping bodies, one time taking over Téa to meet with Melvin. So far, we haven't really seen him do anything that suggests that he is interested in anything besides things for personal gain and vengeance upon Melvin. He'll probably return in flesh and blood when some of the characters comatized/possibly dead during the Battle City Semi-Finals (Odion, Mai, Bakura) return to the show. Melvin will be banished when Odion wakes up.
- Come on LK, combining two similar catch phrases together? It's just too crazy to resist trying!
- After the episode was uploaded, quite a few people complained that it felt extremely rushed, and that Melvin was called Marik and Mega Ultra Chicken was called the Winged Dragon of Ra, and that the episode ended on a cliffhanger, which almost never happens. Consider that there was less of a gap between it and the previous episode than there has been lately, and one starts to think that maybe LittleKuriboh was getting really frustrated with people demanding to know when the next episode would be, and so deliberately made it as rushed as possible, to say "see what happens when I don't take my time with this." Or, considering that it has taken longer to abridge just Battle City than it took to air the whole, unabridged anime, he might just be getting tired of it.
- Since Siegfied doesn't want to take over or destroy the World (or taking over someones Body) Yugi doesn't have a Reason to fight him and goes straight to the Taveling to the Past Arc.
- Jossed by LK’s Twitter, where he matter-of-factly said he wasn’t skipping it.
- Anyone who is familiar with the unabridged Yu-Gi-Oh!'s plot should have noticed a huge divergence from the original show in Episode 62: Marik never gave Yugi the Millenium Rod or the Millenium Necklace. Marik has already dropped several hints that his apparent Heel–Face Turn isn't genuine (he's extremely sarcastic when thanking Yugi and flat out refuses to promise not to murder people anymore). If you pair that with the fact that holding onto the Millenium Necklace means that he has access to Bakura's soul, the chances of him not still being evil are slim to none.
- While Marik being evil is very likely, as the Heel–Face Turn in question was openly mocked, the whereabouts of the Millenium Necklace and Ring are up for debate. It might just be a continuity hiccup.
- This actually has some possibility, since Tea told Yami to 'be nice' at "Bro" in episode 64. This might lead to her insisting he be somewhat less of a douche, although his reactions might be somewhat forced and hammy since he's only doing it because Tea is bugging him to do so.
- ...Which will explain her suddenly duelling well enough to beat Pegasus, and being one of the top eight as mentioned in the Japanese dub, in addition to her joining up with the villains. It also explains her different voice in Season 4.
- First, the Season Zero visual of the Mind Crush appears over his chest, making it look like his heart was hit. Combine this with the Season Zero Abridged version of Atem being a Villain Protagonist who has already killed Ushio and Jiro, it looks very likely that Kaiba will become a victim. Other characters may see this as a Moral Event Horizon, since all Kaiba wanted was to be friends.
As of this writing (February 2018), the Doma arc has three multi-parters left to abridge - "Grappling with a Guardian", "A Duel with Dartz", and "Rise of the Great Beast". That should bring the episode count to 82.
The KC Grand Prix/Championship arc has six multi-parters and one one-parter, bringing the count to 89.
That leaves 11 episodes to do Millennium World/Dawn of the Duel, which... is probably going to be a squeeze, since this last season is very plot-heavy and less built around children's card-games. Merging one-parters and multi-parters will probably be necessary at some point... that said, the majority of said merges will probably happen to the much less substantial Grand Prix/Championship; LK might even condense the whole thing into one episode like a super-sized "Everybody Hates Mako" if he really wants to sprint for the finish line).
Alternatively, Yami isn't the actual Pharaoh- he's just some jackass who looked like the Pharaoh. Learning this will break him.
- Someone's going to think that the 'banish to a different dimension' thing is censorship, only for Aigami to say that he's not killing them, like the opposite of the duel at the docks.
- Once again, Bakura will get annoyed that his friends don't seem to care about him, given that they don't ask about his future and don't care that he's missing until pointed out. Until Yugi plays a children's card game for his sake.
- During the scene where Bakura's father appears with white hair, Bakura will add that he was upset because he was out of blue hair dye.
- Someone's going to force Kaiba to admit his feelings for Atem.
- When Kaiba talks to Yugi in the middle of the street, they can't hold a real conversation because everyone's beeping at them.
- They're also going to make fun of Kaiba being the dictator of Domino City.
- The heroes will be shocked at Aigami's ability to kill people without challenging them to a game.
- Shadi's adopted children will also adopt Borat's mannerisms, possibly with a Shout-Out to the sequel.
