I used to watch this show on Saturday Moring TV Cartoons.
I remember watching this a lot as a kid. Was pretty fun and cool. Even had some of the cards for a while! I really need to find where those got stashed... As I had a holographic, first edition Relinquished... that was misprinted! If it's at all still in good condition if I could find them, it might be worth something.
Anyways, I liked this show a lot as a kid, and I think I saw just about every episode back then. I admit I've not seen it since I was a kid but have fond memories. Might revisit it at some point. The idea of bonding with a pharaoh and kicking ass in a card game with mystical items and banishing to the Shadow Realm (come on we all know it's Hell), is really fun.
I also always thought it was funny that the voice of said Pharoah was the same guy who voiced Knuckles in Sonic X. To the point it actually a little distracting at times when I was watching Sonic X, as I kept expecting Knuckles to send Eggman to the Shadow Realm or tell Sonic he had activated his trap card! lol
It's also ironic that despite my parents throwing a fit back then, about Pokemon being demonic and making kids hyper and violent, that I was allowed to watch this show. Then again, it's not like I told them what this show was. Also it had the benefit of being card battling instead of creature battling so they were more willing to give it a pass.
So yeah, Yu-Gi-Oh is a fun watch, and I should revisit it some time.
Mistake Status: Nah, no interest in tackling this series. And Casual Person already seems to have it covered.
Duel Identity, Part II - S1-E30
Character mistake: Yugi mistakenly says if he doesn't get a monster out to defend himself Mai can attack him directly, which wouldn't be possible since the rules of Duel Monsters during the Duelist Kingdom arc forbade direct attacks on defenseless opponents. That rule wouldn't be implemented until the Battle City arc.
Joey Wheeler, Shadi: Go, Drumsticks.
Mai Valentine: Uh, guys? Joey named his chicken.
Joey Wheeler, Shadi: It's a Nematory, Mai.
Mai Valentine: Whatever.
