I just finished the series and thought the last episode wouldnt effect me when I STARTED the series but then got attached to Atem and finished it today and was sobbing about 10 minutes ago.
The Shadow Realm never existed, it was a 4Kidz excuse to not say a character got murdered or sent to hell. I'm serious, even the manga doesn't hold back on saying a character up and died. Shadow Games were a thing, though.
@@braydenleaderofthetirkins1143 I mean nothing explicitly described as 'the shadow realm' existed, but if you consider the shadow realm to be the dimension the monsters were from it existed in that sense.
I know really nothing of this series, but I found this song once accidentally and it instantly reminded me of my fanfiction series. I have always loved this from the first hearing.
The last time i heard this song was in 2015 .. Yesterday while i was cleaning my room i found a piece of paper where i wrote "shadow game" and here i am again, listening to this song.. I'll come back after 4 years
So now watch as I rise to a whole new height and our mad battle cry will be heard all night. You keep on playing those dark shadow games and no I won't be beat again! You keep on playing those dark shadow games and all time I've prayed my friend!
I remember playing with waking up Christmas morning, and having a duel disc, I was so happy, that day I dueled my big bro for about five hours, and I used Seto's Deck, and Atem's Deck, and finally Zorc's Deck, my bro used Joey's Deck. That was a good twelve years ago. I don't have those decks or the duel disc anymore ;< But I do still have Shiny Blue Eyes, Shiny Dark Magician, Summon Skull, and all three Egyptian god cards as well as all the pieces of Exodia.
One of my favorite possessions is still one of the first copies of Slifer the Sky Dragon. It was all I got for my birthday b/c it was so expensive but it was awesome. Before the God cards were banned I won several tournaments with it at my local card shop. That shop has closed since and the God cards apparently are super weak now compared to the new cards (I know nothing about XYZ or synchro) but I still remember the good old days when Yugioh was the best thing about my saturday morning haha
BonJoviFanboy I know a guy like you that doesn't even understand XYZ or Synchro summoning, he literally can't understand the mechanics of more summons without an effect, because he fell out right before synchro became popular and thus he walks back in with things like Polymerization being big still in his head, sees XYZ and Synchro and just scratches his head.
Brian Forsyth I have learned the mechanics of the game with XYZ and Synchro. I left after playing it online for just a few months because it was insanely boring compared to the originals. The game is far more formulaic, with every card have a paragraph of text as an effect. This supposedly makes the game more complicated but it slows the pace of the game down and makes it dull. Archetypes also mean that netdecking is far more common. Every deck of that archetype will be nearly identical which is why I prefer the original cards more because I feel like there is more variety. TLDR: I understand the mechanics of the game including the new shit and just choose to not play anymore because I consider it inferior to what the game used to be.
BonJoviFanboy everyone seems to think it's a bad direction, and I don't necessarily agree. They will lose out on the older players that still remember other times, but there's a lot more stupid kids with stupider parents willing to dole out hundreds for a child's hobby. They focused on those people, which meant the game had to become more oriented to their mindset. True, lots of cards have paragraph long effects now, but inside an archetype, there's a lot of copy paste, so just skimming all your cards once tells you what combo to go for.
I read the title and I expect something mystical and heavy. I listen to it: it's more emotional. Sounds like more of a love/heartbreak theme (could fit to Kaiba maybe) I read the lyrics: okay, so it's not love/heartbreak song. More like someone got screwed in the past and is now trying to screw back. All in all, I like it. Very good.
Oh man I'm just now starting to go through the yugioh soundtrack's on the ones I haven heard and this is one of them and u no what I thank I got a new fav song.😀
Oh my goodness this is amazing!! I absolutely love it! I cannot describe how awesome it is! But I can make an analogy! The awesomeness of this song is like getting Change of Heart after just seeing it played for the first time in the Yu-gi-oh anime show.
Song: Now watch as I rise to a whole new height. Playing on devpro whilst listening to this, and i have a dragon master knight and two blue eyes ultimates on the field lol.
I remember replaying this song like crazy on the yugioh movie website. it was only 20 secs sadly. the best 20 secs ever heard from a song. I feel so old now...
I think this matches Yugi so well too because of all the challenges he faces from his opponents who are in control and force him to duel in the shadow realm for stakes that are meant to push him down, but instead allow him to rise to new heights.
@@ahorribleterribleperson Excuse you but I have seen season 0. Multiple times, actually. And while I may not have read the manga that doesn't mean I am referring to either, thank you very much. I know Season 0 and the manga are darker than the dub. It would be nice if you realize that there are different perspectives and views and that Yugi is different from Atem. Also, I'm female.
Originally Yugioh is for teen. In Japan only though. Due to censorship Yugioh was reduced to a kid friendly franchise here in the USA. But this song doesn't sound like it belongs to the 4K Yugioh. More like Yugioh Japanese version or Uncut.
Well the entire franchise was intended for male teens. Even Takahashi stated he wrote the franchise for male teens. Even the OCG is for ages 12+ in Japan. The manga is more dark and a bit graphic.
I'm getting seriously annoyed with people saying this is about bakura. Seriously, the song is from the movie 'pyramid of light' where bakura never even appears once. It's from seto kaiba(and Seth)'s perspective on the Pharaoh (aka yami or atem) and his continual losses to him. This is his message to yami that he'll win no matter what. Part of it is also from yami's perspective, like when it says "forgot the lesson of the test" that refers to the mind crush in the first episode where yami wanted
rwby forever (atem) Kaiba you know how it feels to have your soul seal the way cuz happened to you twice and you still deny that the Shadow games are real
This remind me of Yami Marik. Because he was sent to the shadow realm, and the only person that survive losing the shadow game to Marik was Joey. And of course Marik does underestimate Joey after all.
I remember watching an AMV with this song in it and it was filled with gibberish apart from that one line You keep on playing Honestly these people should sing CLEARLY
I find it hard to think of this being about yami or atem since it’s about getting revenge and settling a score and proving yourself He can’t do all that wit his plot armour and never losing This song reminds me more of Mai than anyone if you take away the first part about the ancient past
it could honestly be about alot of characters, but not yami or atem. It could easily be most of the antagonists honestly but I think it fits bakura particularly well, since he had a very real reason to seek vengeance, and the shadow games were played by his enemies in the ancient past. it could also be Kaiba, since he is a reincarnation of priest seto, and he wants to beat yugi. Alternately you could look at different verses as being different perspectives. Particularly the 'you destroyed the future with your past' could be viewed as being directed towards several antagonists rather than from.
I hate how some old yugioh cards are banned now like come on i have a perfect deck now i cant use them cause there old school. like pod of greed and time wizard.
keep them bro some of those cards arent playable but they can fetch alot of money to collectors. Like in my town finding a Chaos Emperor Dragon...yeah good luck. I saw the original crush card virus on eBay going for like $2700
Damn know I'm going to keep my old deck and if I happen to play against the new decks I'll go for it. I like the old yugioh rules better than the new ones like we have now.
Rulings. Like snatch steal is at 1. I tried to steal face down Mon. Snatch steal doesn't specify that mon has to be face up. But even w/o wording people throw fit bout ruling. In some decks certain cards give unfair advantage....chaos emperor Dragon+infernities is one sided game
Zack Kaiser yha but there are actually some old cards to beat that chaos dragon deck. i know some cards to do it but you really need to be good on how to use them.
@@dwainsimmons3447 that nowadays people are really into the Japanese music and can’t really unhearing or say anything replace it. No, I want comes to some anime movies. They do make some English dub music. I think that will happen for the forth mha film
there my friends because I imagine them being alive they listen to me and make me feel real and put together when they are around.because it's not just about using your friends to get revenge it's about making them see that they to are not invisible.
Actually the song is about Atem. In Season Zero which never aired in the US because of how violent Atem is he instigated shadow games non stop. Most of the people he beat died or were never seen again.
I think that would have pretty much made the end of Yami... But, you're right. Although he's the villain through the whole Story, I really feel sorry for him. He should have at least got justice for what they did to his Family! -.- This song suits perfect. YGO, rest in peace. Zexal killed you. lol
![Just the Girl - The Click Five [Lyrics]](/img/n.gif)
I love this yugioh soundtrack so much. It really gets the feeling of the conflict between the Pharaoh and his past and everything dark in it.
It’s so 2004
I just finished the series and thought the last episode wouldnt effect me when I STARTED the series but then got attached to Atem and finished it today and was sobbing about 10 minutes ago.
Oof
Bring's back memories. The original Yu-Gi-Oh was the best
Ik why is shadow games my song?
+L Lawliet I got a feeling that L would be fantastic at YuGiOh
Season 0 yugioh best yugioh
Yeh manga and Toei all the way
Dremorga Ahhahahhahahahhaahahha no
Rest in peace to the creator of yu-gi-oh
Sheesh, chorus goes hard but it's the verses that really give me chills. So dark and somber, and telling a story at the same time.
Wow, somebody was actually paid to sing about the Shadow Realm. I want that job, it's a fan's dream come true!
I am sad that they didn't dub Season 0 because this song fits nicely

What's wrong with the Shadow Realm being a thing? It's mere existence greatly simplified a lot of confusing aspects of Yu-Gi-Oh
I know really nothing of this series, but I found this song once accidentally and it instantly reminded me of my fanfiction series. I have always loved this from the first hearing.
Now I'm curious what was your fanfiction story about? I mean what fandom and stuff?

You keep on playing those dark shadow games and no I won't be beat again!

I`ve always loved Egyptian Mythology and Yu-Gi-Oh! merely cemented that passion.

it's a Yami Bakura song.
I was thinking Yubel and Jaden a little bit.
It still kind of has romantic undertones.
The lyrics fit to Kaiba i imagine him singing this

XWingLover 24 rip
that bullshit field IS OVER 9000 ( Seto Kaiba Approves the use of these cards)
Too bad it would be pretty difficult to do that nowadays due to the new Link Format
This song's stuck in meh head~~
I know what you mean I have been listening to it all day
Oh shit. This is actually really good.
I know
kaiba : wait yugi and I are destined to play card games for eternity ? Best destinyyyy eveeeerrrr !
Except he wants to be stronger than atem the new yugioh movie will show exactly what I mean.
InoshiKenshi it's would be nice to see kaiba win this duel and Joey comes and mop the floor over kaiba with his baby dragon
Truly the love between Kaiba and Atem was too strong.
@@adamsuitt6038 Lol that would be hilarious
Wow...this song really took me back to when I was younger
I remember replaying this song like crazy on the yugioh movie website. it was only 20 secs sadly. the best 20 secs ever heard from a song. I feel so old now...
Honestly think this is what got me into music like evanescence, within temptation, nightwish, Epica 😂
Cody thinks exactly!! Me too haha
wow me too!!
Why does this series have such an epic soundtrack?! More importantly why don't I remember it being so epic?!
Yugioh was the best of my childhood plus Dbz,naruto,star wars,hotwheels, and beyblade thanks for the memories
rosendo rodriguez exclude DBZ and Naruto and you got my childhood on an exact list
I love this so much! I can't stop replaying it!
Man I wish this was something I could just get on iTunes or something. It's such a good song.
It is on iTunes
It’s on Spotify
Yu-Gi-Oh is one of my favorite show and card game.
I think this matches Yugi so well too because of all the challenges he faces from his opponents who are in control and force him to duel in the shadow realm for stakes that are meant to push him down, but instead allow him to rise to new heights.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Season Zero, where Yami would try to kill people with party games! Yay, party games! :-D
I love the music :)
Yu Gi Oh season 0 Defiantly seems for teens, I don't even need to explain why.
Well the entire franchise was intended for male teens.
Even Takahashi stated he wrote the franchise for male teens. Even the OCG is for ages 12+ in Japan. The manga is more dark and a bit graphic.
I watched it as a kid, i believe you, but i guess i was a rebel as a kid XD
I just got blasted by nostalgia, I remember having this and Music to Duel by on repeat in 6th grade
Headset. Not. Loud. Enough. This song is fucking amazing and yugioh is life
Agreed
I love you GI oh its always gives me hope when I listen to no matter what 😃😂😃😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love yugioh the TV show and all the music and animation
And film

loved this song :)
jada perez I love you too loool :P
0.0
I'm looking for a girlfriend ): ur beautiful
im sorry but I don't know you go find someone else please
I can imagine atem singing that to the theif king
CupCake Girls eh kinda reversed
Thomas takes a toll for the dark you said it wrong. It’s “eh sorta the other way around”
Stem sure has a famine singing voice.
Thats what I was thinking as well
Ah nostalgia of happier, simpler times.
This remind me of Yami Marik. Because he was sent to the shadow realm, and the only person that survive losing the shadow game to Marik was Joey. And of course Marik does underestimate Joey after all.
I know this might prefer the Pharoh 'cause of the "ancient past"or the dark side like Yami Bakura.
Chain Evil Mai lost to Marik as well and she was sent to the shadow realm as well
Back in the days when you could still record a song and set it as your ring tone - this was it. My only ringtone until my phone officially died. TwT
awesome, can't stop replaying it!
sounds like yugi and atem vs theif king bakura imo
+pathetic mortal Sooo true
Or Yami Bakura VS Atem in The Ultimate Role Play Game (season 5)
Or Jaden vs Yubel in GX Season 3
Or Yusei vs Kalin 5ds turbo shadow duel
This song should have been played on all those duels
Maybe they should have played it during the shadow game where bakura traps everyone in a board game in season 0.
I.WHANT.TO.PROFORM.THIS.NOW
I love this song, it's quite catchy
Thanks for doing this.
I remember watching an AMV with this song in it and it was filled with gibberish apart from that one line You keep on playing
Honestly these people should sing CLEARLY
Man..yugioh was the shit for me when I was younger. This song makes me so sad yet happy at the same time.
If the shadow realm really excited I would totally have a shadow game there
Same bro
wahhh this song gives me major nostalgia

I just understood the number part... I think I really have to watch it, but this time I won't stop halfway throught ^^
I just realized this, I'm Back, and You're Not Me are all about someone being screwed over and seeking vengeance.

The perfect soundtrack for teenage angst in the 2000s.
This is the theme for my Oc yugioh character,Charles who was best friends with Pegasus.
Early Yu-Gi-Oh was so fucking based, I'd recommend the manga if anybody hasn't read it, it's a whole other level
Anyone else here in 2024
this is totally fabulous. ;)
I liked how you put the pic of the moon at the ending, made it dramatic I think! Thumbs up from me!!!! ;)
you had the lyrics right the first time...
no she got them right when she fixed them
no I looked it up
so did i
plus I can hear it
I looked it up and listen to the words and she got them right the second time
It's in the lyrics towards the beginning. The big full moon.

That moment when you write a fanfiction based off this song.

Totally.
I want to read it!
I just have to get it typed up on the computer.
Okay, but then you have to give me the link!^^
This brings back memories of my old Runescape days...oh, 2006 XD
See the first 2 times it says our battle cry but at the end it says MY battle cry cool right?
Found this years ago because of a fanfic. I can’t find it anymore but ahhhhh I miss when the YGO fandom was really active
God I miss this song☺️🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
this would fit for my yu-gi-oh character so much!!!!
there my friends because I imagine them being alive they listen to me and make me feel real and put together when they are around.because it's not just about using your friends to get revenge it's about making them see that they to are not invisible.
it would be funny if it was Marik and Bakura singing this
Shut the f up!
no
No I don't sing this and of cause not with Marik.
Say something like this again and I send you into the shadow realm!!!
yami bakura so true I still can't get over leather pants and it would not be funny it would be awful
Bakura Ryo yes I think so too. And do you know leather shoes?
Thats awful!!!
This song is literally atem vs yami marik
It is also Me vs. The insane trio
The ultimate creature of chaos me vs a book I can’t get through
The golden time of animes, when america, europe make there own soundtracks for anime
I think that this song is like a prequel to the duel and 'one card short's is like a sequel.
Bean Soldier is my favorite card
I love this!!!!!
Long ago in the ancient past I remember a life when we first met I think it's atem singing about Bandit bakura
Tiny shun Bird I think it's atem singing about his evil his self was at the beginning of the show
Awesome in my opinion YUgi Is so CUTE!
savannah Brookshire Same with Atem!!!! Am I Right???????????????
Yugi-san is so Kawhi
Best song 😊
Who's still listing in 2018/19💗
listening and making new stuff too :))
2020 because it's immortal classic
Actually the song is about Atem. In Season Zero which never aired in the US because of how violent Atem is he instigated shadow games non stop. Most of the people he beat died or were never seen again.
its always time to duel!
I think that would have pretty much made the end of Yami... But, you're right. Although he's the villain through the whole Story, I really feel sorry for him. He should have at least got justice for what they did to his Family! -.- This song suits perfect. YGO, rest in peace. Zexal killed you. lol
sooooooooo good
I love this song so much!!
