The guy that wrote the manga had plans for Bakura from the start. He was always Atem’s main rival in regards to the Items and Yugi and Ryo were moreorless the same. Problem is they skipped over introducing him as Yugi’s friend in the anime so he just has to show up seemingly randomly constantly. Then there are a billion filler arcs so you just kind of forget the Ring Spirit is important.
And even his cannon appearances were changed a lot. Like we entirely skipped over the part were the Spirit of the Ring pretended to have turned a new leaf. I still have no idea what the Anime staff was thinking when they had Tristan/Honda throw the ring into the Jungle in Duelist Kingdom when in the manga he was to concerned with Yugi to deal with the Spirit of the Ring right now especially as it just got him out of prison. And even parts of its role in Memory world were rewritten with the whole "possessing Tristan/Honda" thing rather than just being on the board on his own like Yugi and the gang or him "Being Zork" cutting out the sealed spirit of Aknadin/the high priest of Darkness entirely .
I wonder how it would have went if evil Bakura returning in season 5 re-met evil Marik and said "i told you id return" only to duel him again with this deck
I love this series… I dont know how nobody thought to make a series covering anime cards before… cant wait for you to cover the 300th conditional hero support that jaden played in his deck
"The Dark Door", only 1 monster can attack during each battle phase. Meaning it affects both players, but that not really an issue in the stall/mill/Burn decks it was played in. "Narrow Corridor" only affects your opponent, which would make a funny Anti-numeron card😂.
@@saltysnoey9213 correct, he used it with his Dark Sanctuary to prevent Yugi from properly attacking, and instead damaging himself while Bakura prospers
I’m really hoping that they finally release the rest of Bakura’s deck, Zorc, and the Ka monsters. Seeing how much love S5 has been getting with cards like Duke of demise, grief tablet, etc. being printed I’m hopeful we’ll finally be seeing these cards
Its down right ridicules that "Dark Master Zorc" from Bakuras introduction story in the manga which was a table top RPG was turned into a real card but we still haven't gotten the Wicked God Zorc Necrophades. (in general are the things from the manga that weren't card game related that were turned into cards a weird selection)
Early DM anime decks seem to be based on a playstyle rather than an archetype. Funnily enough Bakura's sadistic playstyle ended up being better represented by Weevil Burn in Duel Links which is a bit of a flavor fail.
I do wonder now that we inch closer to the end of Yugioh DM if you gonna cover the KA monsters from Memory World that were never turned into real cards.
@rynobehnke8289 I wasn't super familiar with that set of monsters until doing a little research after seeing your comment! And by research, I mean I JUST googled "What the hell is a yugioh KA monster?" 😅 Really intrigued by these monsters, so while they wouldn't fit into an episode of this series, I will definitely look into doing a video on them as a one-off
@@a1rg3ar31 While that properly would work for a good chunk of them do I feel like at least the Diabound Evolution's, Zorc and Priest Seto's Duos wouldn't really work as Illusion monster given how they are all being attacks that blow things up which doesn't work well the the standard illusion monster effect of "nothing gets destroyed in battles with this card"
@@burblebineabbletv Okay fair in not knowing at first what I mend as I sometimes forget that the Dub entirely removed the word "KA" from the series. And thanks for answering my question. Will be interesting to see the special video on them.
@@socialaccount0000 Yugi should've been cooked in every duel he went into. Random ass monster mash should've never beaten the at least semi-synergetic decks that every main and side antagonist ran 😂
i made a version of bakura's undead lock deck. it does have the new cards from animation chronicle 2024 and generic zombies including soul absorbing bone tower
Regarding Rebirth Tablet and Mirror Tablet potentially being printed; as we recently got Grief Tablet in Animation Chronicle 2024 earlier this year, I bet those two cards have a good chance of being released either in Rage of the Abyss or Supreme Darkness. Why? Because last year we also got anime-only cards in core boosters that tied into certain cards printed in AC23 such as Dark Corridor and Fire Recovery. Therefore, if Konami was to repeat that trend, those Tablet cards could get printed with them being treated as “Wedju” cards so they can be searched by Grief Tablet’s new effect. They must have added that for a reason if they were planning on releasing those Tablet cards.
I think Narrow Corridor is based off the Magic the Gathering card 'Crawlspace' the effect (No more than two creatures can attack you each combat.) is essentially the same thing. A lot of Yugioh cards are inspired by Magic cards but regardless, I would love to have Corridor added to my cube but we have 'The Dark Door' which is leagues better anyway.
@MysticKenji2 Ah, true true, hadn't thought about that part. However, I believe that if it were removed from the field in that way, the effect stating that "the monster removed by Sword's effect can't be special summoned by card effects" no longer applies, so if you had means of special Summoning from banishment afterwards, it isn't permanently sealed away. Very interesting card when you start to look at the potential combinations!
I wish these cards existed just so you can match up these decks against each other. Who has the most broken deck? What kind of insanity can you make by using any of the cards in these decks?
I fill like this is mostly the face because there are no less than 3 full blown filler arcs between his lost to Marik and Memory World (Virtual World, Doma and KC Grand Prix) non of which used Bakura at all (which is actually one of my issues with the anime in general as Bakura's friendship with the rest is often something that is only ever said never shown unlike the manga)
Babe wake up, the goat just dropped.

Man, Bakura's deck is so cool. It might legitimately be my favorite in the series, alongside Lumis and Umbra's.
I wonder how it would have went if evil Bakura returning in season 5 re-met evil Marik and said "i told you id return" only to duel him again with this deck
cursed twin dolls is so busted i can't even fully wrap my head around how busted it is lmao
@@orangecrust76 I was flabbergasted 🫠
I love this series… I dont know how nobody thought to make a series covering anime cards before… cant wait for you to cover the 300th conditional hero support that jaden played in his deck
Cursed Twin Dolls would absolutely have Fusion Deck replaced with Extra Deck. It's the ultimate stun card.
"The Dark Door", only 1 monster can attack during each battle phase. Meaning it affects both players, but that not really an issue in the stall/mill/Burn decks it was played in. "Narrow Corridor" only affects your opponent, which would make a funny Anti-numeron card😂.
It was so used by Bakura lmao

Luckily Konami recently printed a few of his season 5 cards
Probably why he released this episode. Note that he didn't mention the newer cards.

I heard Bakura had a bigger role in the manga
If Bakura ran an empty jar strat, Yugi would've been cooked. Hell, if Bakura ran link monsters with Cursed Dolls, Yugi would've been cooked

1:19 I know you're saying Bakura, but I swear to god I keep hearing Pekora, and the white and blue palette is not helping.
😂 Honestly, it's completely possible that it came out that way
0:20 Some cards are mostly a plot device. Swords of Revealing Light most notably
Cursed Twin Dolls. Aka, “That’s ok, I didn’t feel like playing anyway”

Another good episode idea: The Deck Solomon Muto used against Joey during the Kaiba Corp Grand Championship, such as his boss monster, Ancient Dragon.
Way ahead of you! 😅 That was one of my first videos on the channel
Necro Jar will be very toxic with players who runs Jackpot. They can use Shien Spy to purposely give to opponent and your monsters can just attack it.
why is it seven arm fiend if his attack is 666?
Because it's not Six-Armed Fiend with 777 ATK and DEF
7 Hands one for each deadly sin
And 666 attack points as the mark of the beast.
That's because Bakura was shown to be the main villain in Season 0 so that's why he's kinda random lol
could you make a mini series for vide game exclusive cards some point?
It won't be part of this series, but I do have a couple of videos in the works covering the cards that were exclusive to the early video games! 🎮
I mean Bakura has been the main antagonist since season 0 🤔
Also, couldn't you use cards like Cosmic Cyclone to permanently seal a monster sealed by Spirit Sword of Sealing?
By its anime effect, no. It can only be destroyed by its own card effect.
@@burblebineabbletv sure, but banishing isn't destruction (unless it's treated as such for this card ig)

Waiting for the armor monsters
Bakura strikes me as the “Oh crap, we totally forgot he existed. Quick! We gotta write a final arc with this guy” type of character
