I came for a video about Yu-Gi-Oh and I got a heart felt story of humility and the power of friendship. Beautiful.
This might be my fav comment ever lol
Pretty good video, I remember watch Yu-gi-oh and DBZ as a kid. Good luck and hope for the best.
So Yu Gi Oh in a nutshell
Anime af
these are synonymous, when did you stop believing in the Heart of the Cards and lose your way
Erik really just being the real hero of this story. What a fantastic friend. Mad respect to him.
My dude came out and talked about facing his own shadow and accepting himself. Props dude. That stuff takes courage.
Real life persona 4
If there ever was something Takahashi wanted to come out of his creation, this story is definitely one of them.
God, making me cry about teenage friendships and growing up and shit... Just keep being you, IP. You're doing something wonderful here.
Thanks man I really appreciate that
Dude we all need an Erick in our life. He sounds like a true genuinely nice person, we need more of those in the world
I think we should inspire to be like Erick, everyone wants someone awesome and good in their life, but dont want to be that person in the life of others, dont expect the good in the world to happen to you, try to be the good in the world
I admire your honesty in this video and I think a lot of us can relate to having a phase stepping away from the things we like that we feel embarrassed by, just trying to fit into a role that wasn't truly yourself. Yu-Gi-Oh was really important to myself as well and I love seeing how important it was to you specifically. This was an incredible video that I can tell meant a lot to you as person to where your heart on your sleeve and you and your content is truly appreciated. Congrats on going fulltime and I can't wait to see where your journey goes next! ~ Getcha game on!
Dude, you can’t just play an AnoHana theme at the end when your story already made me tear up. That‘s just not fair!
I had to do it to em I’m sorry lol
Glad you said it, that shit hit hard man.
Shoutout to Erik, what a guy. Had me tearing up at moments. Congrats on 100k 🎉
Thank you so much
I won’t lie I’m not a big Yugioh fan but one thing I’ve always agreed on was Yugi has one of the most drippiest outfits of any character in anime history. Especially when he takes off his jacket his design is just so 🔥🔥🔥
its basically a variation of the standard male gakuran which in turn was derived from old japanese military uniform design so drip was at its core
@@YukiFubuki. that fact just made me love his outfit more
Yeah, and I think all Yugioh protagonists are drippy, even Yuga from Sevens despite being a literal child. My favorite outfit is definitely Yuya’s tho.
@@braydenleaderofthetirkins1143 Yusei's is forever that drip you wanna learn to rife a bike to wear, but the most iconic is that slifer slacker jacket.
Battle City Kaiba was the drippiest
This whole video was a 25 episode anime about the power of friendship squeezed into 40minutes.
This video also made me appreciate my small high school more because my friends and I would play Yugioh by the bench or stairs without getting bullied. A couple of judgment looks but nothing serious that ruined our reputation in high school (i guess it helps that myself and my friends were class clowns that knew how to fight).
This might be one of my favorites I've ever watched on RUclips. I genuinely got emotional and nostalgic when you were describing the spots you and your friends would find in the apartment complex, I did the same thing with my friends back in the day. Good shit homie
aw man thats awesome to hear im glad I can provide you with that!
R.I.P Kazuki Takahashi thank you for creating this wonderful franchise
He may be gone but not forgotten 🙏
My condolences to Kazuki Takahashi!
Man, this story is just touching as hell. I guess it might not be for everyone, but when you have that group of friends where it's just all love, even when you aren't talking often, the world just feels like a better place.
The dramatic storytelling, the editing that almost gave me an out of body experience and the amazing picks for clips to add to the video made it truly feel like watching an 80s anime and for that alone you deserve more subscribers. Also shotout to Erik for not only being a chad but also looking like an actual chad
This series made me believe in the power friendship. Even as an adult I still live by the belief that with friendship you can overcome anything in life. If a guy could overcome the guilt of being a genocidal evil emperor with the help of his friends then I could probably overcome my troubles with the help of mine. It's a series very near and dear to me.
Man, I thought this was supposed to be a silly, fun, memorable, and nostalgic video about a children’s card game. Now I got all that plus an inspirational story about mistakes, humility, friendship, and being a good person and now I’m crying at work.
Dude, all the success you’ve had up to this point is well deserved and there’s no doubt in my mind that you’ll make it to 500k and even 1mil. You’re so wholesome and genuinely care about doing what you do, I’m seriously excited where your adventures will take you. I’m just so grateful than I’m going along for the ride. 💚
Thank you so much for this comment man really hit all the notes of what I wanted to achieve with this vid
38:28 It's not dumb shit king. Your content is a perfect blend of nostalgia, memes, editing, and genuineness. Love to hear you were able to quit your day job, you've earned your success.
Sometimes it's a little dumb, but that what makes it real
it isn’t the first time I cried with an IP video and I’m proud to admit it. As someone that also had dark times, and was both bullied and later became the bully just to come back around shortly after, this hit hard. When Erik appeared I broke down man. If there is one theme my own life narrative is mainly about, it is redemption, either my own or of people who I’ve forgiven. I’m just so thankful for my tight knit group of what are essentially siblings. Love you all to bits.
This is straight up just like Yugi and Joey. Man this is so cute.
This channel is a hidden gem. But it won’t be hidden for much longer 🎉
Not me tearing up when Erik turned the camera around to show how that whole situation ended up. Genuinely a great video that makes me remember moments from my childhood including sitting on those generators. Gosh, I remember warm summer evenings hanging out with my friends, sitting on those generators, smelling the summer air. The only thing I worried about was school that was starting up again soon.
i swear to god if Erik didn't show up at the end, i was gonna be devastated lmfao.
Man I remember just sitting in my house with a group of friends just playing injustice and passing the controller around and whomever won kept the controller and the top hat, or when my bestfriend started taking a video of me so I ran over and spun him in his chair till he stopped.
Man I miss the easy days where if I wanted to hang with my best friend than I just gotta walk 7 miles and we will child, hell he will meet me halfway
From one slavic kid who has an immigrant construction working dad and made his best friends through yugioh to another, thanks for making this bro. Really hit me in the heart. Mad happy to see your success and wishing you luck with doing this full time!
First of all, big shout out to Erik, definitely a Tanjiro. Secondly, congratulations on leaving the job. That’s a real accomplishment. You’ve got real story telling skills.
I appreciate your vulnerability and honesty. I did the same thing to my buddy "Erik" except mine never took me back. Sometimes we have to live with our mistakes, accept them, and grow from them to become better authentic and compassionate people.
I didnt think it was possible, but you won Yugioh. All of it. You legit won, not the game, but the lessons from Yugioh. You are the king of games ! But legit this almost brought a tear to my eye it was very sweet.
You actually visiting your home and recording all the spots, and getting your friends to actually show up, made this so awesome and heartfelt. I loved watching.
I love to hear people's life stories. I got a lot to learn from Erik. Having a friend for life is honestly my childhood dream and recently I just lost the only actual friend I had because I just can't trust him, but it brings so much joy to my heart to see that people like Erik exist and that you can have this kind of friendship.
What a great friend Erik is. Damn.
The best
This video was unnecessarily relatable, even down to the fake Exodias and living in Arizona. You really feel like your experience is so wholly unique and no one could have gone through exactly what you have and some kid down the street is living through a parallel.
When my dad passed away in 6th grade I was in the middle of watching Yu-Gi-Oh for the first time. That show was my rock during that time and I remember the overall messages meant everything to me and to this day when I'm down or feel lost I turn on Yu-Gi-Oh and it never fails to make me feel better. Congrats on 100k you seriously deserve it man :)
Before covid I would always base my decisions based on others people and what they wanted from me. During covid I was alone for so long and all I did was watch anime and think with me eventually pushing everyone away to overcompesnate. I realized that I didn't know who I was and had no idea what I wanted or at least wasn't confident in pursing my goals. I still haven't found who I am but I'm at the beginning of finding who I am.
Omfg a 40min video lets go dude i love hearing you talk about a topic for a long period of time so i can just sit back, relax, maybe start drawing and listen to you speaking about the things that interest you
gotta respect how much you love your broski. you probably just made him a happy lad with this one
That was a wild ride of emotions. You and Erik were like the left and right pendulum scales and together you summoned everyone else to your friend group. Pend is truly best deck 😔✊
Dude, first of all: Thank you.
I was tearing up when Erick showed up, it hit closed to home.
As I left my friends behind when I move to a new high school, twice. I struggle to connect with ppl.
After graduation, I felt like sh**.
But those friends were overjoyed, when they started to hang out with me again.
Big W! You and me both man. I don't know where I would be without yugioh helping me through the worst parts of my childhood. Bless this series
I feel like specially 5D's is part of me. I miss the feeling of waking up at 6:45AM to watch the new episodes of GX and then 5D's. From 9 years old to 12, I was so obsessed with YGO. I'm getting back into it, slowly, either playing Master Duel or buying packs and structures.
Dude I full on teared up at the end when you said Erik used to even root for you when you were doing your dance battles and not on the best terms. Still had love for you because he remembered all the happy times, thats a friend for life right there. Beautiful video man, always a pleasure taking a break from life in the checkpoint thats your channel. Never stop ❤
I’m 32 years old and Bro this video made me cry, thank you I needed that shit ❤
It genuinely makes me sad that I never lived that close to any of my close friends, I wish I did have this close of a relationship w some of them and believe I could’ve if we’d lived closer together
This is maybe my favorite video you've ever made, IP. I had this arc too, though I was a Pokemon TCG kid and YuGiOh was secondary. I took down my posters, forced myself to listen to "popular" music and learn to dance to it. Changed my hair, my clothes. Escaping that painful arc was the best thing I ever did. I'm now a happy, anime loving, card game playing, 23 year old, surrounded by people who actually like me for ME. And that's the most beautiful thing I could ever ask for.
OH, I got so attached to your old apartment complex, too. I wonder now how the neighbor kids I grew up with are doing now a days. Hopefully, happy.
Your story hits so close to home, as my own upbringing and villain arc is damn near identical. Except, not only did I betray my own"Erik" but I broke bro code and stole his girl :/ we don't talk anymore. But I sacrificed a genuine brother, a dude who would have rode in the back of a police cruiser with me and squared up against bullies with me. I sacrificed that, in the pursuit of cool-ness, women, and popularity.
FF to today and I can't undue the bridges I burnt, instead I choose to carry myself as an uncle iroh. Imparting the wisdom of my mistakes onto strangers I may share a drink with, or those closest to me. I had to look inside and ask myself who am I, and what do I want.
Yugioh and pokemon was basically my WHOLE childhood. Oh man
I’m 30 and one of the most blissful parts of my life was abandoning being a cool kid in high school and going back to all the shit I used to love like Pokémon, Zelda, Mario etc. I remember by senior year all of the “cool” kids were openly playing Pokémon black/white loud and proud 😂
“Checking out the level design, looking for items” I love that shit
When Erik showed up behind the camera I legit got teary eyed.
Okay first of all WHAT THE HELL HOW AM I JUST NOW FINDING OUT ABOUT KAZUKI TAKAHASHI LIKE THIS?? Holy crap! RIP to him, what a hero!
Second of all, glad things turned out so well with you and your friends. You are indeed really lucky to have made those connections and be able to go back to your true interests. Personally I had, well... Basically the exact opposite of this experience, pft. I never concerned myself with looking cool or being popular above what made me happiest, because I almost died at several points through my childhood and dealt with pain almost daily so dressing up instead of just dressing comfy was a pain in the ass, and dating beyond hand holding and cheek kissing in no way interested me until at least 20+ or so. Any kid that started acting like you did I dropped like a bad habit bc I had enough stressing me out. XD Unfortunately though I also didn't have much opportunity to indulge in things that made me happy bc my parents/most of my family were/are Jehovah's Witnesses, the "take it seriously' kind, and thus basically very little opportunity to hang with other kids/very isolating and anything fun I wanted to have I had to hide, with the knowledge that if found it would likely be destroyed or just gone for good. My old OG Pokemon cards, sold dirt cheap while I was at school in a yard sale, old Yu-Gi-Oh cards and several yaoi/yuri mangas, burned in the fireplace, etc...
Before said Yu-Gi-Oh cards got burned tho, I did have one pretty awesome/epic moment with them. I went to the anime club at lunch at my school w my lil basic ass deck, don't even remember what was in it but it was just a cheap one I bought not customized or nothing, and I wanted to try to duel someone but also shy nerdy girl lol. Well one jerkface decided to take me on but basically just to roast me the whole match. It's my first time actually playing someone and this guy actually knows what he's doing so he's beating my ass at first... Until his apparent rival steps in. This guy didn't like how he was acting to me, he was starting to make it like 'oh its coz she's a girl that's why she can't play' dude was straight up acting like an anime-ass villain like I don't even remember what he looked like so I just remember Weevil(?) the lil green haired bug duelist dude lmfaooo XD Anyways tho! So yeah his rival dude gets all mad and stars helping me and giving me tips what to do to beat him back and he actually managed to help me turn the table and beat him, which left him pissed and yelling that it was just the other dude helping me and yeah true but lmao it was still hilarious beating him and seeing him mad about it like a defeated anime villain. XDDD
Bro you are bringing back the magic of these classic shows. I used to feel sad when remembering these old classics but knowing there's people who still remember it too and give a shit about it just makes me feel less lonely 😂😂
I suddenly got transported back to my teen years and relived all the same arcs as yours, including an Erik that 20 years later is still my friend. Thank you.
Yu-gi-oh changed my life for the better, too. I went through dark times, too, and when they passed, I wanted to play Yugioh with a friend from work. So we went to a 24-hour cafe to play on Friday nights. Next thing I know, three other guys just show up with decks and binders full of cards, and they were so chill and friendly. 2 became 5, then 8, then 10, and we grew our own community with locals tournaments, too. The dark times were long gone, and I thrived for the next game using my Vampires, Burning Abyss, and Noble Knights!
RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HES BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I had the hunch that you're from Bosnia but now it's confirmed. Love that one of my favourite youtubers is from my country. Finally something I can be proud of. Keep up the good work man, god speed.
Team APS is fucking awesome. Chris playing old precons, Larry in the hole, Paul just talking about the game, and Alex's challenges to build jank AF decks, and Trell kicking ass...
Best storytelling on RUclips. There is even a rain cloud in my room right now , my face is full of rain drops🥹🥹
This episode was a roller-coaster of emotions
Bro, this actually made me emotional. I saw a lot of myself in this video (the good and the bad) and still can't believe what stupid sh*t I did just to become "one of the cool guys", and in the end it didn't make me happy at all. Glad this stuff is behind me now, haha. Wish you all the best, man. Cheers 🍻
Great story man. I can relate to treating my best friend “Erik” the same way in high school. Luckily he took me back and I’ll be the best man at his wedding soon.
OH MY GOD I ALSO RAN BLACKWINGS! It was my return to the game for the first time since I was like 12 and my cards got stolen at school, and so in 2014 I came back and my friend caught me up and gave me a blackwings deck. I was getting clean for the first time, and yugioh became a thing I learned to participate in other than drugs. I didn't stay clean for another few years after, but for a big chunk of a year Blackwings became my new addiction.
Awesome story. Every real hero needs an redemption arc.
This is a story that hit home for me in a way because Yu-Gi-Oh! also had a huge impact on my life back in the early-mid 2000's. Back when I was in middle school, there were some kids who made fun of me and my friends for playing Yu-Gi-Oh! But that never stopped me from loving Yu-Gi-Oh! and playing the game with my friends. Back then, I loved things like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon, and Sonic (and I still love those things to this day), and some kids told me that liking these things at my age was a sign of being immature. Granted, this did not stop me from loving the things that I love, but at the time, it did make me question if what they were telling me had any truth to it. However, as I grew older and gained more life experience, I reflected back on those times I was made fun of for liking anime and video games and what I came to realize is that it is absolutely not immature at all to enjoy things like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Sonic. We all have the right to love whatever we want and we should never feel embarrassed about it. If anything, it's those who made fun of me for my hobbies that were being immature.
I personally will never stop loving the anime and video games that I grew up with because they've brought me so much joy and happiness in my life, and I've made friends and some of my fondest memories with my friends who also love these things.
Nah man those last 10 minutes put tears in my eyes. Even when you op’d up on Erik he was still rooting for you.
7:52 YOOOO I've got that same Mario Kart DS sticker on my wall right now.
Felt this story cause its exactly what happened to me except i didnt actually get popular 😂 just pushed away all the things i loved in an effort to fit in. Looking back i dont understand why we all tried so hard to be “grown” and fit in, we still kids. Only later on in life i reconnected with a lot of things i genuinely enjoyed again
This bought a tear to my eye, brought me back to my own childhood. Those mid
-late 90s and early 00s were truly some special times
Bro I skipped class with a friend just to watch this video. And I’m rewatching it again cause it’s dope sf
I’m pretty sure that most grown ass men will cry watching this video ..about a children’s card game !! This was a well produced and heartfelt video. It was like he was talking about my life 😅
This is some wholesome shit right here. Kazuki Takahashi may have passed, but his creation touched more people than he could know. RIP. And I'm glad I found your channel to hear your story and to see your growth to 1 million subscribers. By the way, Blackwings got more support a couple of months ago (shocking, I know) and one of the new Tuners has these white shorts and a white jacket like Kaiba.
Your story reminded me so much of my own. From being nerdy, apartment complex friends, psychopathic bullies, and picking up Yu-Gi-Oh again several years later. Some of the happiest times in my life have been when me and my friends would hang out to watch anime and duel. Me, Michael, Edwin, William, Brennan, and Big Chris. Yu-Gi-Oh even helped show me who my real friends are, because Brennan stole one of my cards in my sleep and Michael was a real one and told me about it. It goes to show how even the smallest things, like a card game, can have the biggest impact
I don’t understand why your videos are so bingable and rewatchable. I can’t get enough of it.
as a little dorkie immigrant kiddo who also grew up in az its sweet to see we all had that one other dorkie friend we met along the way who we could share manga, anime and games while we grew up too. thanks for the walk down memory lane, gonna go make some calls and catch up will some old friends now ; - ;
Yours and Eric’s story is very much like the story of me and my friend Kyle, we loved Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!… and like you I became a douche and bullied Kyle- to then move away only to one day, after lots of time to think… call up Kyle and say im sorry. Without making this a long a$$ comment, he unfortunately passed away.
This video was beautiful and made me think more of the amazing childhood I had with Kyle.
Thank you
You've just transported me back to a time similar to this in my life. Group of guys, all nerdy and hanging out. Except theres no resolution. None of us really talk and we all have similar interests just different ways of expressions those. Your video has helped me accept that change and not let me continue to beat myself up about what could have been for the moments I was thinking about them.
Happy birthday Eric
Video reminds of that one saying that goes like, when you’re young you spend your time trying become older, but when you’re older you spend your time trying to become young again. I’ve lost touch with a lot of childhood friends and watching video this makes me reminisce on those good old memories. Thank you
I no longer have my best friend, sadly he passed away in 2015 while we were swimming together. This video made me feel emotions I've locked up for many years and I'm so happy that you still have your friend even after everything. Just remember no fight, no argument, no disagreement, nothing at all is worth not talking to your friends because at any moment you may never talk to them again.
Thank you internet pitstop I needed this video.
R.I.P Julian Norton ❤️
Life changing, YuGiOh was the first franchise I got into as a kid and seeing how it stuck with you growing up really hit. You're also the first to tell me Takahashi died trying to save people. A true hero in more ways than one
Never related to anything more in my life. Sacrificed my morality to mask my insecurities. You're incredible bro. please keep up the great content! You help.
Speaking of Yugioh… I remember post high school when my friend and I had real jobs, we bought a box full of new boosters off of ebay. We opened all 40 packs in one go, and talk about a nostalgia hit!
The kitty flooping around on the floor at the end was my favourite part 💜
I hit the group chat last night with Seek and Destroy talking about how good the new SZA album is and then I watch this video haha But on a more serious note, this was such a heartwarming vid. My best friend and I have known each other since third grade and this video made me realize how much we've been through over the past two decades. Much love, IP.
BIG DUBS MAN CONGRATS. We love you and youre content. Your philosphy of a safe internet place really comforts me. Plus every video you make is a certified banger. They really are the perfect thing for my niche interests.
From the story we knew Erik was a cool dude, but the face reveal was the icing on the cake. Idk if he had any swag in middle school, but he certainly has the cool guy look now
From another cool nerd who went through a similar character arc, this video was wholesome. Subscribed
there's nothing quite like hitting your apartment complex's designated hangout spots with your friends after school and just being kids together.
Damn.... I cried. Erik is the goat. Beautiful story, well told. Love your vids, man.
I watched this video a few days ago and
holy
cow!
This was like watching episode 1 of a really great show. IP really nailed the video out of the park especially his life, what he felt emotional wise with a classic climax and resolution.
This man could/ should write a book or create a movie because it was so good, I should have gotten popcorn. It's was really heartfelt. I understood where he was coming from and it has a good ending where it seemed like I just watched a film.
Best YT video.... no best hour long Netflix episode / short movie I have seen this decade.
Thank you so much bro!
It's funny, this video reminded me that I actually met my best friend because of yu-gi-oh as well lol, I didn't even remember this.
Karma police playing was genius. Fantastic addition. I mean, that “for a minute there, I lost myself” bit, has always been my fav moment of the song, so seeing it used there was 👌. Really drove home that feeling. Love the vids man
I wasn't ready to cry at a RUclips video about Yu-Gi-Oh... This reminded me of simpler times with friends, and of myself going through a similar situation growing up. You're a good dude IP! Thanks for making videos!
I have played yugioh since the early 2000’s but picked it up in 2012 after my mom passed and I’ve played it competitively ever since! Yugioh is like a meditation when you play!
My man is making W choices in the name of friendship. Soon, he's gonna reveal he's also unlocked a persona and has the wild card. And Erik, being your man in the chair, is S+ tier development.
This reminds us what's really important in life. Yu-gi-oh and friendships. Sounds just like a cheesy anime. I've been a duelist since the game was invented. Gave it up through some tough years of my life. And also thought it was time to put that child-like stuff behind me. Here I am, nearing 50, with 3 great kids who have become some of the greatest duelists I've ever seen play the game. They've taught me how to grow with the game and not be afraid to try new things, like pendulums and xzy summoning. It's videos like this that makes me realize some of us will never stop playing. I will always love this game!
This genuinely got me teary eyed at some points, this was a phenomenal video Mr Internet Pitstop. There were so many ups and downs and twists and turns and in the end the power of friendship pulled through, seriously shout out to my guy Erik what an actual king! Keep up the fantastic work mate!
This has me tearing up so much 😭 It reminded me of a friend I wasn’t the best to that I became friends with again recently
when my nephew gets older and he is going through similar shit in that age, imma show him this video. this is such an important story to any kid growing up
I'm so glad you were able to reconnect with Erick. I went through a similar situation but never got to talk to "my Erick" again. But why did you have to play that song right when you said you started talking to him again? You made me cry, man...
Mad respect that you pushed through with makin this vid. It must not have been easy to reminisce and share such personal experiences to such a wide audience; but you can feel it's genuine and it's real
I absolutely love the way you tell stories, I honestly shed a tear while watching this. Love your work IP and I’m so glad you’re able to make this a career now
Mannnn, I really wish I could go back to the days of playing Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon trading card games with the homies. The people that I used to play it with aren't into it the way I am anymore and I would really LOVE to have that connection with someone from my childhood, or even adulthood, the way you do. This story is so amazing and I'm so happy you found that friendship again. I really need to find that kind of friendship in my adult life.
35:38 this shit right here caused me to call up my old circle from elementary and make a plan. I have so many memories of hanging out after school playing Pokémon and Yugioh. Thank you IP
Damn shoutout to Erik... This friendship is so beautiful im moved to tears over here :ooo also loved the use of the "real friends" instrumental during your villain arc.
Good catch!
