Yu-Gi-Oh brought so many of the people in my life together. It is responsible for a lot of the love I’ve felt and seen.
I didn’t feel alone anymore when I found it.
I cannot understate the profound effect Kazuki Takahashi’s life and works had.
Goodbye Kaz! Thank you for creating my favorite character in the whole world, Pharaoh Atem. You have left a mark behind that artists like me will be influenced by for many years to come! I hope you enjoy my tribute to you! Take care! 🙏 #yugioh#ripkazukitakahashi#atem#manga
When I think of what made Kazuki Takahashi's work resonate, it was how in tune he was to the changing culture of the 90s. In his manga, Duel Monsters/M&W was just the game everyone was playing at the moment--one of many that were a medium for people to see into each other. (1/19)
it's been good to see so many folks honorng the heart of
takahashi-san's work.
yu-gi-oh! is a story about outcasts (both in identity and class) realizing they are stronger together than alone. and even when things must change, that strength will not fade.
rest in peace.
Just wanted to leave this here. I know I've been leaving excerpts and quotes all day, but it's only right I do this.
これまで得たもの、これから得るもの、全てが遊戯王のおかげです。高橋先生、本当に本当にありがとうございました。先生がくれたその「記憶」は永遠に.....
Tears wont stop. A lot of people don't know this but he NEVER STOPPED drawing, he would even redo his old manga covers for rereleases... and he improved SO MUCH...
yugioh is about being different, it’s about being weird, it’s about not fitting in to the status quo and not having to fit in because there’s a place for you somewhere and there’s people who love you
since everyones likely remembering the 4kidz intro for yugioh right now, i would just also like to shed some light on the original, because imo it's just as good even if it isn't as iconic
