We lost Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of YuGiOh on 7/7/2022. Keep your decks strong folks, and let the Heart of The Cards guide you. Rest In Peace, and thank you for everything.
Rest in peace, Kazuki Takahashi. Thank you for bringing more joy to this world with your manga and games. Wherever you are now, I hope you're getting your game on and playing your cards right. I didn't play the card game much, but I would occasionally watch the shows whenever my brother or cousin would play them, would also watch them play the card game together and watch my brother play Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004, more recently, I've seen them play Yu-Gi-Oh: Dual Links. And can't forget about Yu-Gi-Oh: Abridged.
thank you for this comment yugioh was one of the first card games I learned to play. The card game and the show were a big part of my childhood. RIP Kazuki 🙏
***** I still prefer the lines from ep 1 from 4kids over uncut or Japanese. Much more blunt/action-packed. I would never forget "Exodia...*OBLITERATE*!"Much of the synth score, like Faulconer's for Dragon Ball Z, fits oftentimes better than the Japanese.
***** ERMAGERD U TAYK DAT BEAK TEH JAPANEZ IZ ALLWAIES BETER EVAN DOH TEH DUBERZ PUT EFFURT IN TIER DUB TO BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! I'm just kidding. The 4Kids Saturday morning version is the best YuGiOh dub to me. :)
Torchu325 Mm....Kids' WB!...tasty. I would kill for that new HD Yugi-O remaster to get dubbed properly. I love the old voices, as I said, but I do believe the fanbase has grown up enough to see uncensored Industrial Illusions guns. And twisted shit like the spinning razor against Yugi's feet. And people dying. Honestly, the Shadow Realm was more daunting than plain old death. It was almost literally Hell on Earth.
***** I see your point, but the original dub was edited to be kid-friendlier, which meant changing or removing things. What the 4Kids haters fail to realize and/or don't care about is that Saturday mornings are more strict with their standards. Let's face it, 4Kids basically was following rules with their censorship.
Today one year ago, he saw three people in distress at the sea and jumped into a rip current to assist their rescue, not knowing this would be his final breath and the day the world would officially lose it’s true king of games. RIP Kazuki Takahashi
He didn't do it for the glory or recognition, and he didn't do it with the knowledge that he wouldn't return to the shore. Takahashi rescued those people because they needed someone to help them. That is true heroism right there
@@mintstarmari So that would mean part of Joeys character design was inspired by the righteous nature of Takahashi who also jumped into the sea risking his life to save something that meant everything to someone else.
Don’t know much about the franchise, but this became a huge part of my brothers life and started to compete in tournaments because of it. Thanks for all you’ve done, Mr. Takahashi.
Yugioh, Jackie Chan Adventures and TMNT 2003 ruled the weekends back then and nothing can hold a candle to them since nowadays so many kid shows that won't ever be as dark
The anime adaptation is sincerely flawed in many aspects so the great news is that it's not at all too late to read the original manga, which is such a ride !
@@kuri1796 I hate to nitpick but that line stuck with me for ages. But you were equally incorrect. Closer, but still incorrect. Kaiba: "Draw your last pathetic card so I can end this, Yugi." Yugi: "My grandpa's deck has no pathetic cards, Kaiba! But it DOES contain...the unstoppable EXODIA!" Kaiba: "AH! Impossible!" Yugi: "I have assembled all five special cards, all five pieces of the puzzle!" Kaiba: "Exodia! Ahhhhh it's not possible! No one's ever been able to call him...!" Yugi: "Exodia...OBLITERATE!" Still sticks with me cause it was one of the first anime I had ever seen and that introduction episode's ending was just magical for me as a kid.
I never heard of this extended version of the song. But is nicely that I found it today. Rip Kazuki Takahashi we are mostly certain you are not in the shadow realm.
This theme song really set itself apart from the rest of the English songs of animes back in the day. It was far darker and more foreboding in tone than anything else on any cartoon channels, genuinely scaring me a little when I was a kid, just before it kicks into the heroic final bit of the song. It was like it was telling kids that even if the world tries to hurt you and the monsters and fiends in your life are scary, all it takes is to step up and face the horrors and you can overcome anything.
@@RT-yg9cv It wasn't just the song itself, it was in tandem with the monsters they'd show off in the background and other shots like seeing Yugi's grandpa trapped in the tv. Scariest image was that two-headed puppet monster for me. Side note, not everyone is going to be blissfully unafraid of the same things as you, ya dingo. Fear is subjective, most especially when you're a kid.
It's easy to hate 4kids for their dumb decisions like invisible guns, changing ring of destuction and barrel dragons look, Joey's accent, and even more friendship speeches than the original... BUT, I can appreciate some of the cool things they did like make Kaiba straight up savage, making Pegasus even more camp, and a lot of the soundtrack was pretty good. I just wish the uncut version lasted more than a couple measly episodes....
I know this is 11 months later, but Joey's accent WAS one of the good things they did. He became such an iconic character because of that accent alone.
Japanese: "HA! Boi is it gonna suck!" *smirks* *The legendary 5 d's yugioh theme plays* Japanese: "Hmm ok maybe this isn't half bad... They must nevee know we are in awe right now or they'll start making our anime openings for us"
The perfect balance. Not overly edgy Not overly cringy. As all things should be Edit: Wow, 2.5k? Noice Also, a lot of you have humorless lives and it fucking shows, sheesh!
Valentine대런 I mean his brothers soul was captured by Pegasus,what would you have done? And it’s not a child’s card game, In the anime it’s been dated back to Egyptian times, and you do know most of the characters are teenagers right?
Yami: Wait, did you just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn? Kaiba: Yeah. So? Yami: That's against the rules. Kaiba: Screw the rules! I have money!
I'd just like to point out that Yugi and Kaiba were both thrust into that situation by Pegasus. Kaiba knew that if just asked Yugi to help him take down Pegasus, Pegasus would probably have ripped up Mokuba's soul card, meaning the Kaiba was completely out of options. He had to win no matter what. Yami might have been willing to kill in order to save Grandpa but Yugi (a small boy with a heart of gold) wouldn't take that step. Kaiba knew this and therefore deemed the match as illegitimate after Duelist Kingdom. Goes to show that whilst Kaiba was a jerk, he wasn't a complete villain. More of an anti hero.
Rest in Peace Mr Kazuki Takahashi, I fell in love with Yu-Gi-Oh as a whole back in 2004, and still collected the cards to this day. My love for it will never die. #YuGiOh
@@sunjuusei1537 this is the best pun I heard in a while like serrisouly I haven't heard a good pun like this in the amount of time it took for Bakura to get screen time
The dub intro definitely suits the series more. The Japanese openings are really cool, but the dub feels more evocative of the high stakes, the villains, the difficult victories, and friendship, that make up the series.
Just got the news this morning… RIP Kazuki, your legacy will live on forever through the heart of the cards. You are with the pharaoh now in eternal rest.
20 years later and this song still kicks ass! I was six when this released in America! Good times. Good times... man I miss being a kid. The 90s and early 2000s were the best time to be a kid when the best of the best kids programs were starting to hit their stride. We had Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and we had all these Saturday morning cartoon blocks like KidsWB, Fox Kids and so much more. And while CN, Nick, and DisChnl all survived Saturday morning cartoon blocks aren't even a thing anymore... How times have changed... 😢
There are still a few good animes these days but for someone born in 1983 , the days of saint seiya, sailor moon captain tsubasa dragon ball and dbz,rurouni kenshin.. Personally yu gi oh was really good but i've seen only the original , never felt compeled to see gx, and next seasons i would love to see something in the afterlife or atem's origin's in an anime serie
Rest in Peace, Takahashi, the true King of Games You will forever be remembered for your wonderful work, you changed many of our childhoods... May your soul be at rest
No he will never take the Exodia cards back! Their lost forever but he will manage to collect all the 3 Egyptian God cards, save the world and recover the Pharaoh Atem's memory!
@@kaii1272 yeah and unfortunately the exodia cards are extremely rare as mentioned by that rare hunter they're so rare most people don't even have one so replacing them wouldn't be easy
Oh trust me weevil gets exactly what he deserves later in the show, if that was me tho I would’ve tossed his ass off the boat to go search for the cards😂
R.I.P Kazuki Takahashi. You made my whole childhood. I was crying as i found out that he died. We will never forget you, and you will be in our hearts forever. Kazuki, maybe you are in a better place now. Dont forget, you can win any battle, if you believe in the heart of cards. So it doesnt matter, how many more battles you are gonna experience, just believe in the heart of cards. We will always remember you, and you will always have a special place in our hearts. You are truly our king of games. ❤❤❤
I remember being 10 years waking up to this theme song kids WB. How times have changed now as a 27 year old but these memories of my childhood always remain in my heart. It shaped me into who I am today
+InTheBike YEEEEEEEEEEEEES I remember loving this part as a kid, but looking back at it now it sounds weird. The repetitions of "du" even had changes of pitch unlike the english one. My childhood... ^^
Rest In Peace, legend Kazuki Takahashi. Thank you for everything. I wouldn't know or play this legendary card game and anime without you. Overall a big thank you Takahashi, you made my childhood amazing.
Man, Even though we didn't know eachother and we never met you'll never know how much you did for us kids out here in Compton, you had all of us kids black, white, brown, asian playing cards together. Yu-Gi-Oh helped us escape from the environment we lived in and was a way for us kids to form friendships and bonds that lasted most of my childhood years. Rest easy Mr. Takahashi 🙏💯
Rip to Kazuki Takahasu You carried my childhood and gave me lots of great memories on the way. I’ll never forget those moments and cherish them forever.
I always rushed my mom home picking me up from school - and if it looked like we weren't gonna make the theme song because of some stop she wanted to make along the way, it was hell to pay.
You created a legend to be enjoyed by generations to come. Including having influenced the making of the card game with it. You died as true hero in the most selfless way of trying to save others. Before that you have inspired and saved so many other lives with your work. You will forever be immortal. Rest in Peace, Takahashi Kazuki-san, the true Pharaoh. Our hearts are the millenium puzzle that will carry your memory forever.
I remember scrambling to hear this opening theme when it came on. I was so entranced by it. The overall opening is good as well, but I definitely have this song in the back of my head more than the visuals.
This is the best theme song of any TV show in history, period. Especially when you hear “Your move”, “It’s time to d-d-d-d-d-duel”, the chorus and “Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh Yu gi oh” at the end
Rest in Peace, master Kazuki Takahashi. Through the simple act of listening to this opening again, I express my sadness for his death and hapiness for the great moments I had watching the anime and playing the card game. Thank you, master Takahashi.

RIP Mr Takahashi You will be missed forever. First anime I ever watched and still go back to all the time.
This theme destroyed all the yugioh themes
Kita Lorraine thats y i kept going back to watch yugioh duel monster dubs.. i love the opening songgg so damn much... i cant stand japanese opening xD
Kita Lorraine You should also listen the DSOD version
i know right japanese openings are terrible
It rekt them like it was all five parts of Exodia: The Forbidden One

Yami: Wait, did you just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn?
Kaiba: Yeah. So?
Yami: That's against the rules.
Kaiba: Screw the rules! I have money!
+Jason McCloud Screw the money, I have rules... Wait
+Nash G xD
Yugioh Abridged.
lol good one 👍👍
+Jason McCloud Sounds like Donald Trump.
Remember that time Kaiba got beat so bad he tried to kill himself?
Mister CyberBully yeah and Yugi let him win because he didn’t wanted to have Kaiba death in his mind
Mister CyberBully yes I remember
Kaiba my favorite character but tbh I got pissed of when I saw him do that....
He did it for his bother. It was always more than just a card game to him.
Yeah and we're still supposed to think he's cool
I'd just like to point out that Yugi and Kaiba were both thrust into that situation by Pegasus. Kaiba knew that if just asked Yugi to help him take down Pegasus, Pegasus would probably have ripped up Mokuba's soul card, meaning the Kaiba was completely out of options. He had to win no matter what. Yami might have been willing to kill in order to save Grandpa but Yugi (a small boy with a heart of gold) wouldn't take that step. Kaiba knew this and therefore deemed the match as illegitimate after Duelist Kingdom. Goes to show that whilst Kaiba was a jerk, he wasn't a complete villain. More of an anti hero.
Rest in Peace Mr Kazuki Takahashi, I fell in love with Yu-Gi-Oh as a whole back in 2004, and still collected the cards to this day. My love for it will never die. #YuGiOh
This song is my national anthem.
You don´t mean "my national _Atem_ ?"

The dub intro definitely suits the series more. The Japanese openings are really cool, but the dub feels more evocative of the high stakes, the villains, the difficult victories, and friendship, that make up the series.
I agree.
Agreed
Just got the news this morning… RIP Kazuki, your legacy will live on forever through the heart of the cards. You are with the pharaoh now in eternal rest.
The pharaoh is burning in hell.

20 years later and this song still kicks ass! I was six when this released in America! Good times. Good times... man I miss being a kid. The 90s and early 2000s were the best time to be a kid when the best of the best kids programs were starting to hit their stride. We had Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and we had all these Saturday morning cartoon blocks like KidsWB, Fox Kids and so much more. And while CN, Nick, and DisChnl all survived Saturday morning cartoon blocks aren't even a thing anymore... How times have changed... 😢
There are still a few good animes these days but for someone born in 1983 , the days of saint seiya, sailor moon captain tsubasa dragon ball and dbz,rurouni kenshin..
Personally yu gi oh was really good but i've seen only the original , never felt compeled to see gx, and next seasons
i would love to see something in the afterlife or atem's origin's in an anime serie
Yeah, I miss those days.
I miss those days.... the kid in me wishes there were still cartoon blocks on saturday.
I miss those days I feel like Saturday’s aren’t the same anymore 😢
I'm only 19 I still always watch them in Saturday mornings good times
0:46 That part always gives me the chills. I really missed this. Black Luster Soldier and Dark Paladin my favorite cards from this series
For me, it's 0:58 that gives me the chills, that part always plays in my head when I do something amazing in the actual card game.
I lovveeeee this guitar!!!
Yea true... Amazing guitar part!
Legendary Niwatori shut up.
black luster soldier was honestly so badass ngl
Yu-Gi-Oh was an emotion, Thank you very much for this story filled with these beautiful memories,
may your soul finally Rest In Peace.. Legend🥀✨️
Oh god, all the nostalgia... Almost painful...
0:46 sincerely, this is the best part of the music, in my opinion.
TheYoungACDC Yes!!!!
True that
Actually it’s 3:11.
mines 0:31
that bass tone makes me hard
This puts the rest of the intros to shame, honestly
Naah. Believe in Nexus from 5Ds nailed it
I think they’re talking about the English openings. Hyperdrive was good though.

-By A 2020 Kid That Is on Ep 6
Fr tho. I just began to watch the show and I fr wanted to.slap weevil's deformed cricket face in that one episode
Fuck that kid was me
No he will never take the Exodia cards back! Their lost forever but he will manage to collect all the 3 Egyptian God cards, save the world and recover the Pharaoh Atem's memory!
@@kaii1272 yeah and unfortunately the exodia cards are extremely rare as mentioned by that rare hunter they're so rare most people don't even have one so replacing them wouldn't be easy
Oh trust me weevil gets exactly what he deserves later in the show, if that was me tho I would’ve tossed his ass off the boat to go search for the cards😂
R.I.P Kazuki Takahashi. You made my whole childhood. I was crying as i found out that he died. We will never forget you, and you will be in our hearts forever. Kazuki, maybe you are in a better place now. Dont forget, you can win any battle, if you believe in the heart of cards. So it doesnt matter, how many more battles you are gonna experience, just believe in the heart of cards. We will always remember you, and you will always have a special place in our hearts. You are truly our king of games. ❤❤❤
I love this

Seems fitting in a game where your life is at stake

That Egyptian type opening used to scare me as a kid, now here I am 20 and vibing to the theme wishing this show would come back!
I wish it was shown on TV again
Rest in peace, Kazuki Takahashi. The true King of Games.
is nobody talking about how much DRIP yugi had in the show. my man was straight DRIPPINN
One sec let me just help emphasize the word
Nahhh yami had more drip thats why he always won cuz the heart of the drip followed his deck
What does DRIP mean?
@@leahowlett5525 Drip = Good Fashion = Looking Cool In Your Outfit.
@@leahowlett5525 or even simply meaning jewellery or chains or diamond anything really which is also sometimes referred to as 'Ice'.

I remember being 10 years waking up to this theme song kids WB. How times have changed now as a 27 year old but these memories of my childhood always remain in my heart. It shaped me into who I am today
That opening 20 seconds send chills down my spine every time.
"It's time to d-d-d-"
"Yugi, remember what we talked about?"
"It's time to d-duel?"
"Much better Yugi!"

Man, Even though we didn't know eachother and we never met you'll never know how much you did for us kids out here in Compton, you had all of us kids black, white, brown, asian playing cards together. Yu-Gi-Oh helped us escape from the environment we lived in and was a way for us kids to form friendships and bonds that lasted most of my childhood years. Rest easy Mr. Takahashi 🙏💯
Don’t forget about gay people
The bass line. Let's take a moment to appreciate it.

I see you are man of culture aswell
I always rushed my mom home picking me up from school - and if it looked like we weren't gonna make the theme song because of some stop she wanted to make along the way, it was hell to pay.
Thanks for creating this amazing saga and TCG that fullfill the youngness of all, you will never be forgotten...
Rest In Peace, Takahashi sama😔🙏❤
You created a legend to be enjoyed by generations to come.
Including having influenced the making of the card game with it.
You died as true hero in the most selfless way of trying to save others. Before that you have inspired and saved so many other lives with your work.
You will forever be immortal. Rest in Peace, Takahashi Kazuki-san, the true Pharaoh. Our hearts are the millenium puzzle that will carry your memory forever.
Me in class when we start talking about Egypt:
likewise
Me: exodia
That moment when you are about to draw the final piece of exodia, but then your opponent shouts THE WORLD, and then your hand is gone.
I remember scrambling to hear this opening theme when it came on. I was so entranced by it. The overall opening is good as well, but I definitely have this song in the back of my head more than the visuals.
BY FAR one of the best theme songs, and anime's of all time! glad that Netflix has it as well, even though it's only the first two seasons.
All 5 now.
John Canary WHAT... I only have the first 3 seasons...
This is the best theme song of any TV show in history, period. Especially when you hear “Your move”, “It’s time to d-d-d-d-d-duel”, the chorus and “Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh Yu gi oh” at the end
@@FireLordJohn3191 Wait what? I only have 3
All five seasons are on there now!
Rest in Peace, master Kazuki Takahashi. Through the simple act of listening to this opening again, I express my sadness for his death and hapiness for the great moments I had watching the anime and playing the card game. Thank you, master Takahashi.
