Yu-Gi-Oh

A typical Yu-Gi-Oh player.

Read (You Gay Ho)

A stupid children's card game that is only the least bit popular because of the abridged series of its even worse cartoon/anime. The entire player base consists of complete social outcasts who no one wants to play with, especially anyone who plays a real TCG.

Interesting Notes

• Season 0 Yami Yuugi is a well known follower of Tzeentch (As if the Egyptian gig wasn't enough of a give away). His ability to combine both dickery and Just As Planned into his Yami No Games (Games of Darkness, in English) in such perfect order it most likely earned him the position of Daemon Prince, which would explain his powers. Subsequent Yugis.....were most likely to Slaanesh.

• Yu-Gi-Oh was clumsily "advertised" by a cartoon for children about adults playing a children's card game, which shared the same name.
• The aforementioned program was so popular, they released a spin-off show called Yu-Gi-Oh GX, about children attending a university that teaches students how to play a children's card game (really).
• This spawned another spin-off, Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, where angsty emo teenagers play a children's card game on motorcycles, in a setting that's some sort of attempt at cyberpunk. Seriously, that's actually the premise.
• Now there's Yu-Gi-Oh! ZeXal, which is basically Naruto with card games instead of ninjas.
• Dan Green voices both Yugis in the English version.
• Adding insult to injury is the fact that the original manga/anime (Season 0) it was based on was actually pretty boss and only featured children's card games a few times (And even then, that shit was awesome). Mostly it was about Yami Yuugi punishing local bullies and scumbags by challenging them to a "Yami No Game", a dark and demented game of Yuugi's making with a stringent set of rules (That depends on the current challenge) that are meant to test the person's true character. If the person looses a Yami Game, or breaks the rules in any way, Yuugi will either kill them or give them such realistically horrifying hallucinations that they turn into a gibbering, hapless wreck. As an example, he once played table hockey with a puck full of nitroglycerin and blew the other guy to bits. In another game in the anime, he tricked an armed criminal holding his girlfriend hostage into pouring 180 proof vodka all over himself and putting a lighter on his hand. Ensuring that if he did anything wrong, he'd burn a horrible death. If those are not Awesome, I don't know what is.
