Let’s take a moment to consider that all of Pegasus’ actions (creating Duel Monsters, kidnapping Mokuba and Solomon, hostilely taking over Kaiba Corp, Duelist Kingdom) were those of a once good man who couldn’t get through the stages of grief and basically went insane
@@DefyantFoxV2 Wasn't Shadi the guy who orchestrated all that.? You know, guiding Pegaus, showing him even the Gods, gave him the Millenium Eye. Then he was "I didn't think things would go this way".
@@DefyantFoxV2 The eye only let him see his wife. Yet he couldn't hold her or feel her. The darkness of the millennium eye got stronger the more he used it, but at this point he already had the intention to resurrect his wife by acquiring another millennium item and using their shadow power in combination with Kaiba Corp's technology to attach her soul to her card and make the hologram real. Pegasus is one of the most complex villains in Yu-Gi-Oh and it makes me kinda feel bad for the guy.
@@dancorneanu9144 Shadi only gave him the eye after Pegasus disobeyed him and followed him into the tombs. If he wasn't chosen to wield the item then his soul would have been consumed and he would've died. Since the Millennium items grant the wish of whoever is chosen to wield them, Pegasus had his wish granted when he saw his departed wife one more time. Yet he couldn't hold her or feel her and he needed the power of another item to do that. In the end Shadi's wish for the items to return to their proper resting place and in giving Pegasus the eye it was possible that he would go and find all of them for him.
@@Lunacccy I understand his complexity, but again... I don't think giving him the Eye as a test is really a good thing. Especially when the Eye, and you can excuse me for misremembering, is not the most stable of the items. It's not really like the mummy with Inhotep and the whole "unstoppable" thing only as a unintended side effect of torture for eternity. Where the tomb keepers made sure to keep him hidden. In the case of Pegaus it was a guy who was not following orders, who had some obsessions that got magnified. It worked out in the end but mostly because of Yugi, Atem, even Joey and the rest of the group, were going against the current threats. The "return of items" could have gone by all items in the hands of Bakura/Zorc... Granted, it worked out with Doma, so silver lining...
The way I saw it, it could have two meanings. It could refer to his Toon World, as many people assumed, but I lean more towards the second theory. Remember that canon-wise, Pegasus is the creator of the game. Therefore, when he says you are all in my world now, it could be that he is hinting at the fact that he is the creator of the game, and between that and his Millennium Eye he possesses the abilities to turn the tide on anyone. So when he says you are all in my world now, I think he is cheekily referring to the world of duel monsters and his in depth knowledge of the game. The instant you challenge him in Duel Monsters, you have stepped onto his turf. I.e. You are in his world now. But that's just my theory.
I mean the show is a Camp Masterpiece, but yes. I agree, he'd be one of the best villains of all time. I mean he's like one of the only TRUE Chaotic Good characters ever created.

OMG Maximillion Pegasus has such a beautiful singing voice, it's just so haunting, hypnotic, charming, beautiful, i could listen to him singing anytime, also he's my all-time favorite Yu-Gi-Oh Characters, and I've always admired him, i find him to be, wonderful, dashing, handsome, charming, charismatic, cunning, and clever too, also whenever i'm mad or upset about something, i just think about how he would handle the situation, that is if he's not dueling anyone, also i hope that someday I'll get a chance to meet Darren Dunstan in person.
+Jane Doe I'm with you on that. He was a great character. In addition to what you said I like his character because he fondly remembers his childhood and tries to keep it alive with his cards, as I get older I can sympathise with that more. After finding out about his backstory I honestly felt terrible for him too. The series needed to give him a bigger role after season 1 honestly.
+Makoto Yuki Well they couldn't really put him in the main story and only the filler because the anime was based off the manga, and in the manga he died after season 1....
Oh God, Maximillion Pegasus has such a wonderful singing voice, it's just so luring, haunting, charming, and hypnotic too, I could listen to him sing anytime, he's my all time favorite YU-GI-OH character, because he's AWESOME!!!!!!!. and I hope that someday I'll get a chance to meet Darren Dunstan In person.

He's definitely my favorite villain in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. He managed to be a villain who was powerful and intimidating yet playful and fun at the same time. The Toon Deck is a perfectly complimentary deck to his entire character, being wild and crazy with all the danger needed to be a genuine threat.
I literally made dance moves for this song as a kid and teen. Pegasus is still one of my all time favorite villains and favorite Yu-Gi-Oh characters. Listening to this soundtrack all day as tribute - #RIPKazukiTakahashi
@King of The Zinger That's so cool! I just chose cards as speech class prizes or kept cards I found. (I think I was going to build a deck even though I could have asked my mom to buy a deck at Target. Didn't have anyone to play with anyway.) I actually did a video short showing the cards I have as a tribute - I keep them for sentimentality even though most of the cards probably couldn't be used anymore. If interested, here's the link to that: ruclips.net/video/gB8iwB_WqnI/видео.html
Hahaha. Yeah. Well, that makes a god child's program. At least, before the PG bs we have for kid's nowadays. :). Now, shows like Gargoyles, THEY were awesome. :). Gave kids a lot of credit, intelligence wise. :).
Based off of a manga. The card game wasn’t made until part way through the anime, and the reason it’s such a big thing is due to filler- Kaiba was meant to be a one-off character, and Duel Monsters a game of the week, but executive meddling struck and that’s probably the only reason it ever got as big as it did, really- it probably wouldn’t‘ve come to America, and definitely wouldn’t‘ve been as long lived without it. I do prefer the absurdity of the original manga games (Stab your hand! Don’t make a noise! Stick your foot in a shoe with a scorpion in it) to Duel Monsters.
@@doggy_ded_dingus And the "Shadow realm" doesn't exists. Characters just straight up die, lose their minds, or get sent to hell. Yu-gi oh is a seinen that got watered down in the West to appeal to kids.
I'm with you on that for sure. The lack of cameos from any of the original characters is quite saddening. In most cases for shows it can be distasteful to the story but for yugioh it can only make it better. Yugi making an appearance and whipping the floor with each new main protagonist would of been great at some point, to show them the heart of the cards and power of friendship and all that good bs he preaches. It would have really advanced all of their characters much faster.
Honestly speaking, Yugi's deck was full of crappy cards but cards during that time were crappy. Back then there were only few fusion cards and rarely any good monster cards so you can't really blame him
I won't deny that he made a great deck out of a game still in its baby steps, but saying that he would beat any of the newer protagonists is farce. E-HEROes, Junk Stardust, and Utopia (for mostly the wrong reasons) would clean the floor with him.
Have you ever seen/heard him in one of the live duels at Real Life Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments? It's obvious he loves playing Pegasus and has a blast voicing him.
He practically made me worship the ground he walked on as soon as I first heard him speak in the series then when I heard about this song I just was all "if I wasn't pretty much writing bad fanfiction about you and *insert mary sue based off me* already I am now". XD
WHAT THE FUDGE????!!!!!, I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS A REAL SONG! sorry I'm just so shocked I thought someone made it up the tune, thank you sooo much for proving me wrong.
You know you made it as a top villain when you have a sick theme song...One of my favorite villains is Pegasus! I loved this song when it first came out and still love it to this day!
Hmm, I loved Yu-Gi-Oh, Inuyasha, Dragon Ball Z, and Cowboy Bebop, growing up. They were awesome, along with Gargoyles. And, for those who call us "nerds" or "dorks": Kiss our asses. right in the Cracks. :). These shows were awesome, and I made some excellent friends through them, both in school and in adulthood. :).
For everyone reading the comments about James and Pegasus, they are NOT the same voice actor. James is voiced by Eric Stuart while Pegasus is voiced by Darren Dunstan. Just to clear up any confusion there may be. :)
I remember that I would frequent the old Yu-Gi-Oh website back in the day and listen to all the sample songs. I would ligit fall out of my chair and bolt out of the room because of Pegasus' voice... Sounds stupid, but give me a break, I was 7 or 8 at the time and Pegasus scared my sorry ass so bad back then. But now a days, this gal is quite happy to listen to his singing. (It doesn't help that I sometimes picture James singing this instead Pegasus...) XD
"Face up, Face down, Play your strongest card!" Pegasus' Thousand Eyes Restrict copies the attack of an opponent's monster! Of course he'd want you to send out your strongest! How did I never understand that genius lyric!?
You know... I wonder how good a duellist Pegasus is now, without his eye he still knows litteraly anything of Duel monsters. And has every card and more, maybe he could even be a challenge for yugi
Funny how they took a character who in the original version was intended to portray the quintessential "Southern gentleman" (with a name to match, Pegasus J. Crawford) and turned him into a very snooty New Englander type speaking with a thick Locust Valley lockjaw.
@vayda711: the actor played James from Pokemon, was the singer Giovanni in Pokemon Live, was Shredder in the original TMNT, as well as playing Pegasus. He's pretty experienced.
Imagine if somebody made a Yugioh themed musical and this is one of the musical numbers. I can just see the backup dancers as a Pegasus actor sings on the stage lol
Haha. Well, Inuyasha is my second, after Dragon Ball Z. At least, in action-wise. But, in story wise, Inuyasha is awesome. Loved the whole relationship between him, Sesshomaru, and their father, the Inu no Taisho. In fact my desk top on my laptop is him, wielding the third sword from the third movie. :).
Pegasus was my favorite yugioh villain,even if he was a crappy duelist without his millennium eye.But does anyone ekse find it weird how he knew about Dartz and what he was trying to do?
This is great, clearly Pegasus' voice right from the start! pretty good song too Fits Pegasus's style too :) EDIT: no way, it's actually official :D very nice
He says Yugi-boy, and its so dripping with sadistic elitism that its just... "Yugi-boi, you absolute twink, you neogoth egyptian fuccboi, whatchu gonna do?" 😂 Like pegasus is a bastard and I love it.
This is definitely one of the best songs from the 4Kids catalogue. No wonder I never heard it being played anywhere in the show, or even in those AMV imbetweens many of these cartoon shows back in the day would run on occasion.
Back when those two states of monsters were very important parts of battle. The spells and traps back then did help but most decks relied on monsters bulk and number. If you didn’t have high value defense monsters or ones hard to remove you would be swarmed quickly.
I have the CD, and this is one of my best one I own.. :) They must hade alot of fun making this CD.. can only imagine when they were asked if they wanted to be on a CD, where they sing like their characters.. If I was a voice actor.. I would do it :)
"Let's play the game... I'm sure you all know how."
If any of Duelist Kingdom is to be believed, not really no.
XJ-0641 the game didn’t exist back then. The writers just made it up
Takahashi took what was supposed to be a game Yugi only played against Kaiba and made it the main focus after fans went nuts over it. He wasn't much of a game designer so it took a bit of work.

Yugi making an appearance and whipping the floor with each new main protagonist would of been great at some point, to show them the heart of the cards and power of friendship and all that good bs he preaches. It would have really advanced all of their characters much faster.
+Byakugan888 That would work if Yugi's deck wasn't trash compared to more articulate decks of later protagonists.
Honestly speaking, Yugi's deck was full of crappy cards but cards during that time were crappy. Back then there were only few fusion cards and rarely any good monster cards so you can't really blame him
I won't deny that he made a great deck out of a game still in its baby steps, but saying that he would beat any of the newer protagonists is farce. E-HEROes, Junk Stardust, and Utopia (for mostly the wrong reasons) would clean the floor with him.
Gold Rush Lets wait for YGO movie that is coming in 2016 with Kaiba and Yugi
They might have a deck makeover
Wow the voice actor for Pegasus must have been having fun with this character.
Have you ever seen/heard him in one of the live duels at Real Life Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments? It's obvious he loves playing Pegasus and has a blast voicing him.
He's also Don Zaloog in GX which Pegasus does make a cameo in too.
Oooooooo, Kaiba-Boy!
What are you gay?!
Bitch I MIGHT be.
no....wait......WHAT ? You said that you're ? Doesn't counts.... i'm not homofobiac....
Just duel Pegasus. I will save my brother. You will pay when I get out my blue eyes white dragons
Andrew Hunt fuck off, thousand eyes restrict is better
Face up face down, you just described the entire ghostrick archetype :D
lol XD
also the Invincible Fortress deck
Also accurately describes Subterrors.
Or Shaddoll to an extent.
It sounds like Pegasus is trying to seduce me.
Me too lol
that is what i thought, great minds think alike!
He practically made me worship the ground he walked on as soon as I first heard him speak in the series then when I heard about this song I just was all "if I wasn't pretty much writing bad fanfiction about you and *insert mary sue based off me* already I am now". XD
Pegasus reminds me of yu gi ohs version of James from pokemon
Andrew Hunt that's so true
Love how Pegasus says to play your strongest card when his best cards steal the opponent's monsters to use as his own.
Oh I adore Pegasus! I have the biggest crush on him and Pharaoh Atem. I wouldn't mind being face down for him. 😍😍
Fun fact, Darren Dunstad (voice of Pegasus) was Giovanni in the Pokemon Broadway Musical
I just imagine yugi and the dark magician sorounded by a bunch of evil toon monsters. That should have been a thing.
DarK PAladIN now I want to see that
WHAT THE FUDGE????!!!!!, I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS A REAL SONG! sorry I'm just so shocked I thought someone made it up the tune, thank you sooo much for proving me wrong.
+jade deaden and how dose it sound
I honestly don't know how to describe it, jus that its awesome and I want to play it over and over again.
Oh Maximillion Pegasus has such a beautiful singing voice, it's so alluring, hypnotic, beautiful, charming, he could sing to me anytime.
You know you made it as a top villain when you have a sick theme song...One of my favorite villains is Pegasus! I loved this song when it first came out and still love it to this day!
coming from 4kids, this song is surprisingly kickass!
3fatkid *drags in the whole show, One piece and pretty much any theme they made*
Someone forgot they made the English opening theme for Pokemon, didn't they?
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 not the whole show
@@thewanderingmistnull2451 they didn't, they outsourced the creation of the pokemon theme which they used for the show.
4kids are good at theme songs
I'm going to host a duel tournament and play this during the final duel
Is it Still Up I'll join
How'd it go, champ? Or is it chump?
Great voice actor.
Seeing all the YGOTAS references makes me feel tingly in my pants.
Me too 8D
yep
It torments my Obelisk, too.
+supergamer985 lol I see what you did there 😂
I'm glad someone did. :3
this song is also known as the "i'm playing mind games with you and loving every bit of it"
I kinda want a Yu-Gi-Oh rockopera now.
That would blow my mind
A yugioh musical would be the best thing ever
Yugioh Live doesn't actually kinna sound bad.
Hmm, I loved Yu-Gi-Oh, Inuyasha, Dragon Ball Z, and Cowboy Bebop, growing up. They were awesome, along with Gargoyles. And, for those who call us "nerds" or "dorks": Kiss our asses. right in the Cracks. :). These shows were awesome, and I made some excellent friends through them, both in school and in adulthood. :).
munku121 Yea.
As long as I live, I will never forget this song.
For everyone reading the comments about James and Pegasus, they are NOT the same voice actor. James is voiced by Eric Stuart while Pegasus is voiced by Darren Dunstan. Just to clear up any confusion there may be. :)
As if Pegasus wasn't creepy enough. This song's almost enough to give me nightmares. *shudders*
Lindsey York, I just love this song, and I think that Pegasus has such a beautiful singing voice, it's so wonderful, haunting, and hypnotic too.
He does, but the song's still creepy.
Lindsey York, I think his singing is wonderful, I could listen to him sing all day long.
I never said it wasn't, it just gives me the creeps, is all.
I don't find Pegasus very creepy, in comparison to what came after, still the song is a good villain song, and it really fits him.
I remember that I would frequent the old Yu-Gi-Oh website back in the day and listen to all the sample songs. I would ligit fall out of my chair and bolt out of the room because of Pegasus' voice...
Sounds stupid, but give me a break, I was 7 or 8 at the time and Pegasus scared my sorry ass so bad back then. But now a days, this gal is quite happy to listen to his singing. (It doesn't help that I sometimes picture James singing this instead Pegasus...) XD
I just melt when I hear this song. I'm such a Pegasus & Kaiba fangirl.
Hmph hmph hmph hmph
This has been the most spicetastic 4 minutes ever
Pegasus: So delicious the anime let him survive his battle with Bakura.
I know Pegasus is a villain and I didn't really liked him but when they gave him the backstory of his wife, I did feel sorry him.
"Face up, Face down, Play your strongest card!"
Pegasus' Thousand Eyes Restrict copies the attack of an opponent's monster! Of course he'd want you to send out your strongest! How did I never understand that genius lyric!?
This was and still is my favorite soundtrack out of all the songs on the cd even back in 2002. Darren Dunstan has one epic voice.
You know... I wonder how good a duellist Pegasus is now, without his eye he still knows litteraly anything of Duel monsters. And has every card and more, maybe he could even be a challenge for yugi
OH HOLY MOTHER OF- PEGASUS SINGING!? MY WEEK IS MADE.
Me too@!!!
Funny how they took a character who in the original version was intended to portray the quintessential "Southern gentleman" (with a name to match, Pegasus J. Crawford) and turned him into a very snooty New Englander type speaking with a thick Locust Valley lockjaw.
OMG, Maxamillion Pegasus has such a beautiful singing voice.
"Ooooooohh I'm face down just another Friday night for Maximilian Pegasus hahaha.....I'm dead"
Littlekuriboh As Pegasus 😂😂😂
May the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh now forever lay face up in the graveyard. Rest in Peace.
Pegasus is just so friggin' fabulous. xD
This song froze my computer! He starts singing and my computer couldn't take it!! No joke.
Oh God, Pegasus's Voice Is Just So Haunting, Beautiful, and Charming Too.
@vayda711:
the actor played James from Pokemon, was the singer Giovanni in Pokemon Live, was Shredder in the original TMNT, as well as playing Pegasus. He's pretty experienced.
Pegasus was and still is my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! character... He's so classy... among other amazing qualities....
Imagine if somebody made a Yugioh themed musical and this is one of the musical numbers.
I can just see the backup dancers as a Pegasus actor sings on the stage lol
I’m not normally a stage play guy, but after hearing this song, a musical battle between Him and the Pharaoh would be fire. 🔥
Konami. Silent Hill. 😂
Ahh, still oh-so happy to find that I STILL can't find an anime to replace you guys Yu-Gi-Oh and Zatch Bell! No anime can't defeat you guys!
How about Inuyasha, Dragon Ball Z, Cowboy Bebop, or Sailor Moon?
munku121 nope
Trinity Southway Lol. Well, at least we both like Anime. Albeit, we have different tastes. But, I loved Yugioh as well. :).
to be frank,
sailor moon is like, my third favorite while inyuyasha is my first
Haha. Well, Inuyasha is my second, after Dragon Ball Z. At least, in action-wise. But, in story wise, Inuyasha is awesome. Loved the whole relationship between him, Sesshomaru, and their father, the Inu no Taisho. In fact my desk top on my laptop is him, wielding the third sword from the third movie. :).
Pegasus was my favorite yugioh villain,even if he was a crappy duelist without his millennium eye.But does anyone ekse find it weird how he knew about Dartz and what he was trying to do?
+Yugi Bear Don't spoil it! Thank god for me getting a concussion i can watch yugioh again with out knowing what'll happen ^v^ LMFAO
Sounds like james
becase it is him
+mahmoud wattar no it's not
oh ok
"Screw the rules, I'm in love with Nurse Joy"
I know but pegasus was voiced by darren dunstan james was Jimmy zoppi and eric stuart :P
"I can sense you coming Kaiba-boy.. and when you get here, I'm going to spice up your life!"
This makes Pegasus sound like the final boss, and it was made back when he WAS the final boss.
Then we got Marik.
Noah.
Dartz.
And Zorc.
Final boss of the first "game", a climax boss, whatever term you'd prefer.
*melvin
Playing as Pegasus in Dual Links be like...
just imagine start the duel with that line 1:04-1:14
So this song is both unrepentantly stupid and incredibly awesome.
It may sound a little creepy but it is still really good.
ROFLMAOOOO 18 years later and yugioh still surprises
Sadly the new stuff doesn't feel like it used to , its changed too much.
I remember when I was just a little kid and I used to listen to this CD in my car
I was listening to this on Soundcloud and the song that played next was a raunchy song called "Ass Up Face Down"
Of course Pegasus has a song called Face Up, Face Down. What’s next Top or Bottom?
This is great, clearly Pegasus' voice right from the start! pretty good song too
Fits Pegasus's style too :)
EDIT: no way, it's actually official :D very nice
I thought LittleKuriboh did this as a joke in BBT Abridged. This was an actual song by the voice actor for Pegasus?! Brilliant! 😂
He says Yugi-boy, and its so dripping with sadistic elitism that its just...
"Yugi-boi, you absolute twink, you neogoth egyptian fuccboi, whatchu gonna do?" 😂 Like pegasus is a bastard and I love it.
"Welcome all you foolish nerds, to the gayest spectacle in the world, I'm making a count in this movie, I'm more handsomer in 3D."
+Hannah H20 making a cameo
+Hannah H20 That's great, I'm making a Dracula. May need your Count later
+Hannah H20 Not trying to seem rude, but he doesn't say handsomer. He actually says "I'm much more fabulous in 3D."
Hi
On the last refrain, he sounds... personal.
It almost sounds like a good thing.
Oh God Maxmillion Pegasus has such a wonderful singing voice.
This is definitely one of the best songs from the 4Kids catalogue. No wonder I never heard it being played anywhere in the show, or even in those AMV imbetweens many of these cartoon shows back in the day would run on occasion.
Back when those two states of monsters were very important parts of battle. The spells and traps back then did help but most decks relied on monsters bulk and number. If you didn’t have high value defense monsters or ones hard to remove you would be swarmed quickly.
to be honest this is one of the better songs XD lol if this were to be compared to lion king- it'd be 'be prepared' lol
I like how it uses the same stock industrial sound effects from the early Bionicle music
A) I'm mad I only found about this epitome of musical composition in 2021. 2) I hope Pegasus's VA has an underground music career out there somewhere.
Darren Dunstan has made some songs of his own.
Face-up! Face-down! Attack or Defend!
There's a reason why a lot of people love the goat format.
I don't see Pegasus as a villian. But this song gives me the chills. I love it
Damn, this is such a throwback lol! I listened to this album so many damn times lol
I think they achieved the wrong kind of creepy from what they were aiming for with this
The guy who voiced pegasus also played giovonni in pokemon live
“Losing your soul doesn’t feel that bad.”
I have the CD, and this is one of my best one I own.. :)
They must hade alot of fun making this CD.. can only imagine when they were asked if they wanted to be on a CD, where they sing like their characters..
If I was a voice actor.. I would do it :)
I had this and I think two other songs on a tiny Yu-Gi-Oh cd pretty crazy I still have it
