Rest In Peace to Kazuki Takahashi, The Creator of Yugioh. A phenomenal show that made a lot of childhoods & adulthoods Hype. Thanks for your awesome series & You will be greatly missed
To say Yu-Gi-Oh was a huge part of the 2000’s cultural zeitgeist would be a massive understatement; I can still vividly remember those days when the anime & TCG were truly everywhere: our schoolyards, our retail stores, our living rooms… this series has had a constant presence throughout my life and I’m glad I got to be part of the generation that grew up with & experienced Yu-Gi-Oh’s rise to cultural prominence in the early 2000’s firsthand This series will continue to live in my heart forever; thanks for everything, Kazuki Takahashi, Rest In Peace ✌️✊🙏
Yu-Gi-Oh was lucky to came out at a time when online gaming wasn't that popular yet with the younger generations. Sure, you had games like Halo: Combat Evolved, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai and Maplestory. But not everyone could afford a gaming console or a good enough PC at that time. Us kids all came out to the park in the evenings and dueled. Part of me wished gaming didn't become this popular so we could go back to the good ol' days.
@@JackIsNotInTheBox I had to get the shitty McDonald's bayblades because my parents couldn't get me real one. Despite always losing it was fun playing Bayblades
When you hear that “ITS TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D DUEL!”, it awakens something in you! Thank you Kazuki Takahashi for making so many great memories for us. Rest in peace 🙏
Yeah even though the made one piece into a watered down piece of shit, they still gives some good shows. Kinda wish the just dub the final season for the spin offs show.
Childhood memories, although I don’t watch it anymore, I still remember the time I would collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards with my cousin to see who had the most collected whether if the cards were real or fake. Rest well Takahashi-San, I had a good childhood.
Born exactly in 2000... Most people would call me a millennial for that but i ended up having the childhood of a 90s kid a lot more, and yugioh was that one anime I wouldn't be able to understand as a kid yet I still loved watching. It'd easily hook me in. Sadly I never got into collecting cards but cousins of mine did, though most of their cards are from the goat era
Came here to say, After learning the news, Wanna give tribute and respect to the man him self Kazuki Takahashi No words can describe how much this man has changed my life and family and honestly without him I would be a big fan of tcg or the competitive scene of anything for the matter. Please rest peacefully Mr Takahashi and thank you for the legacy you left behind not only for me but various Yu-Gi-Oh fans across the world with your work that touched our hearts.
Nobody can lie. 4Kids is one of the worst censoring companies in anime... but... when it comes to musical scores, VA talents, and atmosphere... they nailed it. 😭💙
@@Drums_of_Liberation Not to say that I don't prefer Funimation's uncut version, but I actually don't mind the 4kids version of One Piece, aside from Sanji's voice. With how cartoony the show's style is, not to mention how ridiculous the characters and scenarios can be, I feel as though some of the uncut violence and language is actually unbefitting of the show's overall atmosphere.
I hope they gave a raise to whoever realized that adding an Egyptian flute would both ground the opening in the culture Duel Monsters originated from in-universe and make it stand out from all the other theme songs.
When it comes to atmosphere I disagree, the Japanese version feels very different, the show was supposed to be a show for teenagers and 4kids turned it into a kids show, also I prefer the Japanese soundtrack but the 4kids soundtrack gets a pass.
R.I.P to the true King of Games. We will forever remember and honor you and your work. Thanks for making my childhood, teenage years, and adulthood full of many great friends that laught and even raged while playing the game. Overall we all have an unforgettable amount of fun. Forever in our memeries, Thank you Kazuki Takahashi
For the past 12-13 years, while growing from an elementary schooler to an almost-working adult, in the schoolyard as a kid with my friends, but also in the solitary comfort of my home, in the laid back times, but also in times of anxiety, this game has always been there as something I can fall back to. Rest in peace Kazuki Takahashi, thank you for this invaluable gift. May your legacy live on.
I come here to listen to this masterpiece again after the tragic death of Kazuki Takahashi. RIP Legend you made my childhood, you will remain in our hearts forever and your soul is now in each of our Yu Gi OH cards
+Aram Allo deeper than most incomprehensible trap music nowadays that's more akin to high pitched whining as opposed to audible lyrics. At least this song has 6 audible words in it xD
July 6th, 2022 Tragedy occurred, we lost a man by the name of "Kazuki Takahashi", the legend that created all of Yugioh, the cards, the characters, the world and mostly... being part of our childhood Let's all respect legend and use his lessons that he taught as an important influence. Remember, always believe in the heart of the cards Rest in Peace

Same, and I can't tell why. Every time I hear it its like I get some kind of a vague ptsd flashback to something scary, but I can't figure out what exactly xD
RIP Takahashi Kazuki. You made Saturday mornings at 4Kids vintage. This is the anime that started my “collect them all” phase next to Pokemon. No matter what, let the games begin No matter what, may the best man win. No matter what, we’re in this together. No matter what we’ll be friends forever. NO MATTER WHAT
@@alanchamberlain9902 I remember when Naruto was airing on Cartoon Network! That was the shit and what got me introduced to anime as a whole. But yes kids these days will never know the magic of the early 2000s that was back when corporations and businesses wanted to make stuff for their fans and they wanted to push the industry forward, unlike today where all they care about is money and they create insipid mediocrity on mass!
Kazuki Takahashi was an amazing legend of a mangaka for every American man. woman and child who enjoyed, admired and watched his series throughout the world as well played the game that we still do to this very day. We will miss you 😇

One of my cousins and I were huge Yu-Gi-Oh fans from back in the day. We duled each other, played the GBA games based on it, and watched the show. R.I.P Kazuki Takahashi. You will never be forgotten. "IT'S TIME TO DUEL!"
+Karl Medas Their rivalry compared to others still seems heated. Jaden/Chazz - became friends and never had a serious match after the School Duel. Yusei/Jack - Became friends (again). Their rivalry is essentially the same as Yugi & Kaiba's the have amazing if not better teamwork than Yugi & Kaiba whenever they team up. As a whole they had better matches than Yugi & Kaiba. This is as close to a Yugi-Kaiba rivalry we've had from the spin offs. Yuma/Shark or Yuma/Kaito - became friends aswell. Yuma and Shark at first seemed like rivals but became best friends and their battles toward the end of the series were more tragic battles than a rivalry match. Yuma claims Kaito is more of his rival, while Shark is his best friend. Yuya/Reiji or Yuya/Sawatari - Reiji is supposed to be Yuya's main rival but he doesn't feel like it. Either way they aren't friends and Yuya seems to hate him and Reiji couldn't care less about what Yuya thinks of him. Yuya & Sawatari became friends after their 2nd duel and have a relationship/rivalry akin to Chazz & Jaden. Meanwhile Yugi and Kaiba - Respect is mutual but the friendship is one sided.
sak lee Actually some men do use eyeliners like that in real life and looks quite cool. Johny Depp for example and many more around the world. Also it was used to reduce glare from sun in the past.
I would love to say a big THANK YOU to the man who created this amazing series, which was a big part of my childhood and i am thankful for that everyday. Thank you, Sir. May you Rest In Peace
Before the show got shitty This was it. I mean seriously, why even continue the series if the character it's named after isn't even around anymore? FFS
Honestly, after Synchro Summon, which made sense, I gave up on Yu-Gi-Oh in general as it seemed like the series just went shit, games and all. Fusions were calm, Synchro's were alright, but that Xyz and Pendulum bullshit just made me give up. The entire series went from fun to overly complicated just like that.
+4R IMO Xyz was gamebreaking at first but then they took good precautions with the banlists and made them a bit more fair. You still needed to get two cards with the same level out and for the most part you would either run Xyz OR Synchros. However I think Pendulums ruined the game 100%. You could beat an Xyz deck without Xyz usage but pendulums may as well have their own game mode
+ParadoxycOnline Xyz was alright to say the least. Balanced still doesn't mean overly complicated. I'm one of those classic Yu-gi-oh guys, having a card collection, playing the old games, but some things just made me give up. Everyone had the advantage of Xyz cards and all of that whilst I just get overexcited from summoning Buster Blade (Childhood card lolz). But I think we can both agree that Pendulum just killed the game and almost the franchise. There's just no point anymore, whoever starts first with a Pendulum deck wins.
Tavake Toki I mean, I really enjoyed GX despite missing the original cast and theme song hard. After that though, I lost complete interest. Battle City is still king!
@@tavaketoki1134 when they implement effects and Attacking directly, it got better. Plus marik and Pegasus are like underrated villans as well. Also, imo, Yu-gi-oh is one of those rare series where the dub was actually a better sub. More enjoyable and OPs were fire and hype as af.
Konami didn't really have a set rule guideline for the card game until about Battle City, so that's why card like Dark Magician and Summoned Skull didn't require tributes to be Summoned during Duelist Kingdom. Still doesn't explain why characters up until about ZEXAL Normal Summoned monsters in Defense Mode, though...
0:42 you can very easily tell which one is which simply by the way they stand. Yugi being the shy one, stands tight. Meanwhile the Pharaoh appearing confident and keeping his cool. They’re opposite sides of the same soul. Sharing similarities and having their differences. However they’re incomplete without each other.
I stood up and applauded. Think about the rest. Whoever did this intro deserves an oscar. R.I.P to my close frined. He was gave ''Ra'' card to me I m still holding after 18 years.
In my country there was an episode every day at 16 PM without Saturday and Sunday. Back in the day I hated Saturday and Sunday! :D The other option was 6 AM, however, I hardly ever watched them that early.
1:21 The real reason why we came here… Also, Rest in Paradise, Kazuki Takahashi…you created the world of Yu-Gi-Oh and you brought all the duelists together, along with its fans. You may be gone, but your work and entire legacy of the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise shall be carried on and not be forgotten…
Dan Green was incredible here. This narration still sends goosebumps up my arms, and this video is stunningly well-cut. The visuals tell you the entire emotional imperative of the first season and instantly makes you understand who the heroes are and what they're fighting for. Even the cheesiness of "D-d-d-d-d-duel!" is iconic at this point. Incredible; some of 4kids' best work, no doubt.
@@herostorm8939 i finally finished all 5 seasons i was like damn why couldnt go on for ten seasons but the duel between yugi and atem was one hell of a way to end the season.wish mai was there to see it
Even in my 30s I still remember the first time I saw yugioh and came to love the series since then. There is so much history this show has given us. I hope that wherever kazuki Takahashi is, this beautiful show will continue to live on and be introduced to more generations to come.
Thank you Takahashi for giving us one of the best animes that defined our childhood My you forever Rest In Peace and may the Heart of the Cards guide you to heaven
sak lee it wasn’t 4Kids messed up, the TV laws in US messed up the anime and forced 4Kids to edit it or else they won’t air it at all. I mean nobody got the animes rights except Funimation got DBZ and One Piece and Viz Media got Sailor Moon. Funimation used to have Yu Gi Oh rights, but now they lost the rights since years ago.

@@FUUUcarlencio holy shit ur right, no wonder why I thought it was so familiar
rip king, thank you for making my childhood ♥️
One of my cousins and I were huge Yu-Gi-Oh fans from back in the day. We duled each other, played the GBA games based on it, and watched the show.
R.I.P Kazuki Takahashi. You will never be forgotten.
"IT'S TIME TO DUEL!"
Back when Yugi and kaiba had one of the most heated rivalry
+Karl Medas Their rivalry compared to others still seems heated.
Jaden/Chazz - became friends and never had a serious match after the School Duel.
Yusei/Jack - Became friends (again). Their rivalry is essentially the same as Yugi & Kaiba's the have amazing if not better teamwork than Yugi & Kaiba whenever they team up. As a whole they had better matches than Yugi & Kaiba. This is as close to a Yugi-Kaiba rivalry we've had from the spin offs.
Yuma/Shark or Yuma/Kaito - became friends aswell. Yuma and Shark at first seemed like rivals but became best friends and their battles toward the end of the series were more tragic battles than a rivalry match. Yuma claims Kaito is more of his rival, while Shark is his best friend.
Yuya/Reiji or Yuya/Sawatari - Reiji is supposed to be Yuya's main rival but he doesn't feel like it. Either way they aren't friends and Yuya seems to hate him and Reiji couldn't care less about what Yuya thinks of him. Yuya & Sawatari became friends after their 2nd duel and have a relationship/rivalry akin to Chazz & Jaden.
Meanwhile Yugi and Kaiba - Respect is mutual but the friendship is one sided.
+TheShapeH31 so true.
Yugi*
+TheShapeH31 Amazing summary of the rivalries.
Lmao at Yugo
This ain't no synchro dimension
yami's eyeliner is always on point though!
Lol
would look stupid on a guy in real life but anime always makes the guys with the weirdest outfits and hair the hottest ones
That because he is a pharaoh. They are known to have black eyeliner on....
sak lee
Actually some men do use eyeliners like that in real life and looks quite cool.
Johny Depp for example and many more around the world.
Also it was used to reduce glare from sun in the past.
Cihan ÇINAR assuming Johnny Depp can be bundled up with every man, Johnny's a one and only type of deal
I would love to say a big THANK YOU to the man who created this amazing series, which was a big part of my childhood and i am thankful for that everyday. Thank you, Sir. May you Rest In Peace
RIP Kazuki Takahashi, thank you for creating something that played a big part of my childhood.
Before fusion
Before syncro summon
Before xyz summon
Before pendulum summoning
This was it
Before the show got shitty
This was it. I mean seriously, why even continue the series if the character it's named after isn't even around anymore? FFS
+Narutard Z AMV's Right? If not Yugi without little Yugi around.
Honestly, after Synchro Summon, which made sense, I gave up on Yu-Gi-Oh in general as it seemed like the series just went shit, games and all. Fusions were calm, Synchro's were alright, but that Xyz and Pendulum bullshit just made me give up. The entire series went from fun to overly complicated just like that.
+4R IMO Xyz was gamebreaking at first but then they took good precautions with the banlists and made them a bit more fair. You still needed to get two cards with the same level out and for the most part you would either run Xyz OR Synchros. However I think Pendulums ruined the game 100%. You could beat an Xyz deck without Xyz usage but pendulums may as well have their own game mode
+ParadoxycOnline Xyz was alright to say the least. Balanced still doesn't mean overly complicated. I'm one of those classic Yu-gi-oh guys, having a card collection, playing the old games, but some things just made me give up. Everyone had the advantage of Xyz cards and all of that whilst I just get overexcited from summoning Buster Blade (Childhood card lolz). But I think we can both agree that Pendulum just killed the game and almost the franchise. There's just no point anymore, whoever starts first with a Pendulum deck wins.
I was always more excited for yugioh than pokemon as a child, good times...
+krlis dd ya he is
+free syria talking to the one who has videos
Used To Be Aired In 2001, Right On Kids WB!
+Crooked cat Still have my old spellcaster deck and everything :') Good times
Even 4Kids' Shows, The 8 Seasons of Pokemon And Cubix Were On Kids WB, Too!
Rip Kazuki Takahashi. Thank your for creating a series that has resonated with millions around the world, you will be missed my friend.
R.I.P., Takahashi! Thank you for your masterpiece!
IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-DUEL
Y-u-u-u-gi-i-i-i-i-o-o-o-o-h
+Larissa Lysko i choose the blue eyes white drag-oh crap its gone
IT'S TIME FOR N-N-N-N-NEW!
+Larissa Lysko Me: how to you know this yugi?
+Larissa Lysko IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-DUWANG
This will blow for such a tragic reason….Rest in peice, Kazuki Takahashi.
Shadow realm came knocking R.I.P to the creator of this masterpiece
First season was the best one:
Story: tournament of card gaming
Plot: Final boss is a cheater
Plot Twist: Hero is a bigger cheater.
I attack... the moon!
Nothing tops the original 5 seasons im glad it came out in my generation lol unlike these sorry ass cartoons five nights of freddy
Tavake Toki I mean, I really enjoyed GX despite missing the original cast and theme song hard. After that though, I lost complete interest.
Battle City is still king!
@@marianopena7872 yup battle city really put yugioh on the map lol still got my yugioh cards tho!
@@tavaketoki1134 when they implement effects and Attacking directly, it got better. Plus marik and Pegasus are like underrated villans as well. Also, imo, Yu-gi-oh is one of those rare series where the dub was actually a better sub. More enjoyable and OPs were fire and hype as af.
How Yami Yugi summons all those monsters from a single card I will never understand.
***** It's simple really. He has decided to screw the rules, since he has spiky hair.
Konami didn't really have a set rule guideline for the card game until about Battle City, so that's why card like Dark Magician and Summoned Skull didn't require tributes to be Summoned during Duelist Kingdom.
Still doesn't explain why characters up until about ZEXAL Normal Summoned monsters in Defense Mode, though...
GangstaLuigi613 Pricless!
***** Soul charge! lol he lost thousands of LP
***** He's the motherflippin' King of Games
Rip to a legend for creating such a great series. May he truly be with the heart of the cards.
The greatest anime ever. Nothing beats this in it’s prime 🙏
Come on, who else loved the Pharaoh's deep sexy voice?
Tuxedo Mask was my first crush but when I saw the Pharaos and heard his voice I was struck 😍
none of the boys in the room.
My first anime crush
wut
I'm a guy o n my nans youtube
0:42 you can very easily tell which one is which simply by the way they stand. Yugi being the shy one, stands tight. Meanwhile the Pharaoh appearing confident and keeping his cool. They’re opposite sides of the same soul. Sharing similarities and having their differences. However they’re incomplete without each other.
Well that's the point of their personality in the show
Lol @ you trying to be deep. You're just pointing out the obvious.
@@roronora 😂😂😂
@@roronora you don't got to hurt his feelings like that
@@davevalbrun5585 Fuck him and fuck you.
I stood up and applauded. Think about the rest. Whoever did this intro deserves an oscar.
R.I.P to my close frined. He was gave ''Ra'' card to me I m still holding after 18 years.
This was the last comment under this video before the creator of yugioh's death.
A toast to the man who made our childhoods
1:25, endless sparkly eyes, then theres kaiba...
I always noticed that!
I laughed way too hard at this 😂
best part. i love it. it works perfectly for kaiba.
its just like: all these stupid losers pretending to be important and then theres the awsome kaiba too cool to have his eyes sparkle.
I just noticed that, he doesn't give a fuck
When you are old enough to finally understand the cartoon into rather than just watch it. Remember watching this like every Saturday morning
David All Anime Shows Were Aired On Kids WB, Since 1999-2007!
Back when i was younger i watched a lot of bakugan ,dragon ball , and yugioh
Right .watching as a kid and a kid is totally different. Almost like watching to different show's.
In my country there was an episode every day at 16 PM without Saturday and Sunday. Back in the day I hated Saturday and Sunday! :D
The other option was 6 AM, however, I hardly ever watched them that early.
*anime
1:21 The real reason why we came here…
Also, Rest in Paradise, Kazuki Takahashi…you created the world of Yu-Gi-Oh and you brought all the duelists together, along with its fans. You may be gone, but your work and entire legacy of the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise shall be carried on and not be forgotten…
Damn we all know why we’re here Rest In Peace 🤧💔
Dan Green was incredible here. This narration still sends goosebumps up my arms, and this video is stunningly well-cut. The visuals tell you the entire emotional imperative of the first season and instantly makes you understand who the heroes are and what they're fighting for. Even the cheesiness of "D-d-d-d-d-duel!" is iconic at this point. Incredible; some of 4kids' best work, no doubt.
z1pper intheback Just realized that IS Dan Green narrating and I'm pretty mindblown.
90s and early 2000s was the best years to be a kid 😎🤙
Yes they were
I was there ahahahahaha i took every drop of that vibe
I'm glad I grew up during those times, those were the days man fr
Hell yes. Man, where do the years go?😭😭
@@obbymillion So happy. And miss it😭😭
安らかに眠るTakahashi!!私たちは君を決して忘れません。
RIP Takahashi! We will remember you forever!
Rest in peace, Kazuki Takahashi... you will forever be missed
If you haven't seen this, you don't have a childhood lol
I was about 9
I was 10
My childhood was gx
@@willwh9228 GX? Disgusting
everyone's childhood was different. the 2000's had so much shit in it
Just finished watching Yugioh for the 3rd time. Who knew you can have your heart broken 3 times
Lol im sad they dnt plat the old cartoons or anime on mainstream t.v its better than five nights of freddy
That final episode hurt me every time
@@herostorm8939 i finally finished all 5 seasons i was like damn why couldnt go on for ten seasons but the duel between yugi and atem was one hell of a way to end the season.wish mai was there to see it
Rip Takahashi. Your work touched so many lives and changed them forever. Gone but never forgotten
rest in piece Takahashi, forever King Of Games
man this opening still gives me the chills!
This makes the openings to GX and 5Ds look like recycled cafeteria slop
+Gaby “Lexicona1996” George and this is coming from a person who grew up with both series
hahahha i see
i myself didn't have the chance to watch either GX or 5Ds, i grew up watching this one.
And i'd still this opening still holds today :')
Especially from 1:24 onwards
after watching ygotas i just cant take pegasus seriously anymore
This is one of the best opening intro's ever made.
One punch man?
@@Trixxy04 No!!! Lol
death note?
@@cyberduck9022 um no?
@@cyberduck9022 hel-l no.
Thank you for everything Mr. Takahashi you created something that made my childhood awesome... May you rest in peace with the Egyptian kings now~
Even in my 30s I still remember the first time I saw yugioh and came to love the series since then. There is so much history this show has given us. I hope that wherever kazuki Takahashi is, this beautiful show will continue to live on and be introduced to more generations to come.
I want an entire song of JUST 1:13 because that shit is still fucking cool.
That base line is so good.
Try listening to the french version tje du-du-du-du-duel part has an effect over it and i like it more but i'd like an external opinion
Dan Green yes thank you.
The man with the voice of kings.
and porn
+Mr. Popo porn? he dubbed hentai ?
+Florin Herlea yes he did indeed, I've heard it (don't ask how) and it's mentally disturbing...

1:25 this last part made me shed a tear man.
Seriously I feel so old
Lets face it, this is THE best Yugioh opening ever.
Correction baka, the 5th Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters Anime Opening is the top best one, the 4th 3rd the second then the 1st Opening
The german version slaps hard
Check out the 5D's openings.

who would? stupid 4kids messing with anime.
sak lee it wasn’t 4Kids messed up, the TV laws in US messed up the anime and forced 4Kids to edit it or else they won’t air it at all. I mean nobody got the animes rights except Funimation got DBZ and One Piece and Viz Media got Sailor Moon. Funimation used to have Yu Gi Oh rights, but now they lost the rights since years ago.
