    I remember when I was at school in maths, I heard the word Yugioh across the room. I got up and asked the person if they played, they said they did and asked if I’d like to go round their house and play after school.
    This event made me new friends, got me to learn the “proper” rules of the game. Got me to go to locals and then to a YCS. Got me to make a RUclips channel and even got me invited to Konami HQ.
    Thankyou Kazuki Takahashi, honestly wouldn’t be where I am today without your work.

      o7. I salute him for creating not game, but the anime and the fandom he created. When i first watch yugioh, it's was GX started for me. Then my dad started watched the original one, then my boss and i play yugioh for fun. But now this year, i meet new people who played yugioh, and created story of their own, included me. Thank you Mr Kazuki, And i see you in the next era. o7

    Yugioh was always more than just a game for me, and I'm not ashamed to say I cried when I heard of Takahashi's death. I loved the anime, and yugioh was one of the few things my father and I bonded over. I could never beat him, but that only ignited my interest in learning the game. When I moved house the same year I started High School, I was completely alone. No friends, nobody that I knew. I felt so alone and alienated, until I found the schools dueling club.
    Joining that club and dueling with those nerds were some of the best times of my high school years. Yugioh gave me a place I felt I belonged and helped me make so many friends. Hell, I even beat my dad after all those years, and he gifted me his deck as a reward. I still have all those cards to this day and still enjoy playing.
    Takahashi's work gave an entire generation of kids a place to belong and a way to come together. Thank you for everything you gave us, and may you rest in peace.

    I started getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh in 2021, it was so fun revisiting these stories from my childhood in this rough time. And relearning the card game has been really fun, sharing it with friends that never played it and planning out some decks to try at local tournaments this year. It's def a game that thrives when played at the table face to face, making connections with others.

    I remember long ago, maybe 20 from now. Watching Yu-Gi-Oh on the television. I was so excited to see the Monsters becoming real and fight against each other. Also I recognized how strong freindship can be and how important it is to have good friends. After some Days my mom came back from work with a booster in her hands. My first Yu-Gi-Oh Cards and my first best Card from the Booster was Crab Turtle. I battled against my Brother eatch of us only with 7 or 9 Cards from the Booster, but it maked so much fun. After some weeks/months I got a large Collection and we played it everywhere with friends. In school, on the playground and at home. It was a very great time and I appreciate to took part on this great work in my youth.

    I'm here after Kazuki Takahashi passed away. (I saw it on Facebook). and I hadn't thought about yu gi oh since, 2009 or 2010 when I stopped watching and playing. My parents were poor. Dirt poor. I never got birthday presents or luxury's. And having a few loafs of bread, milk and sugar meant you had something to eat. (Side note: Bread pieces mixed with milk and sugar was delicious to me!. I didn't even know we where poor. lmao). I watched the usual cartoons. Sponge bob, Samurai Jack, DBZ ect we got that on free tv back then and I don't know what's on tv in this new day in age haha. But then suddenly a new show started playing, or at least a show I somehow missed in the line up. Yu Gi Oh. oddly enough I cant remember too much from the show as I was like 6 - 7 maybe. But because of the Facebook post I decided to re watch the first season and BAM!... there it was....I can't explain it. As soon as I started re watching the show I could smell the smell of our old sofa we used to have in the lounge. And I could damn near all most taste my bread and milk breakfast haha.
    I was re watching it with my nephew as he now wants to collect yu gi oh cards himself as I'm also introducing him to this world and I had to look away a few times as to not let him see that I was on the verge of tears at a couple of points. and also GOD IS SOME PARTS IN THE SHOW CHEESY hahaha but its ok.
    But I wasn't tearing up just from nostalgia. I can't remember most of it you see now that I'm 25 years of age but I KNOW 6 year old me LOVED IT!. and so......................... what made me tear up. well.
    Like I said Dirt poor. we had to move around a lot. A lot of family problems (Alcohol was the main culprit). And my richer friends PlayStation 1. (''He hadn't had bread with milk before he had met me so how rich could he truly be'' 6 year old me thought), Movies and cartoons were my ...''escape''.
    and so somewhere around 2003 maybe 2004 I wasn't expecting any thing for Christmas because we never got anything for Christmas. unless you count my big bros hand me downs lol (There where 7 of us siblings). but that morning my parents were sitting in the kitchen as I sheepishly entered the room and they where smiling. (I'm lowkey tearing up writing this part haha) . And I say good morning and my dad (He's an emotionless black hole but I know he loves me), My dad nods his head towards our cupboards, I look up and I see a box wrapped in news paper. I drag a chair over so I can reach. pull the box down and on top of this box is a ten dollar note taped to the top of the box!!! I WAS RICH. RICH I TELL YOU. my poverty stricken dumbass thought the ten dollar note was so converted in our family (LITARALLY THE ONLY MONEY MY PARENTS HAVE EVER GIVEN ME), EVER, that the box holding it must be some sort of podium for such a revered piece of paper to sit on hahaha. and so my goofy ass took the ten off and went to walk out. Prolly going to buy me an Island or something haha. but my dad told me to open the wrapping. I tore it open and inside the news paper was a box and on the side of it was a toaster ( it was the box that our new toaster came in a few months prior) but over the picture of the toaster, in permanent marker wrote ''Merry Christmas Yin'' I ripped off the tape holding the box shut. looked in it. and there it was. two Yu gi oh packs loosely sitting inside. its still the best gift I've ever been given.
    And so that's why I was tearing up re watching the show. and why I'm currently tearing up writing this now. were my parents perfect parents. NO. But there was always some food on the table. and blanket's on our beds. I've never told my parents how many times I had caught them seeing our monthly bills watching them. Thinking how they thought they were slick and had snuck off without us seeing. I saw. I saw my mom and dad hide in there room and blame themselves and whatever choices they had made till that point for us being too poor to afford a better life. Better conditions. I've caught my mum crying after I asked her why we don't have back packs or books for school... a f*#@ing fake ass Christmas tree at least. I now know as an adult. Just how much they must have saved and how hard they must have tried to work to afford em.
    And so that smile on there face. mmmaaaannnnn that smile on there face. when they saw how happy they made me.......
    I love my parents. I miss being 6. I miss when life was a little bit simpler. you know.
    I have a few packs of cards on the way. the first I've had since that Christmas day 20 years ago almost. I hope my nephew likes them. I hope I see the same smile on his face.
    Peace and Love.
    And believe in the heart of the cards.

    Thank you so much for this video! I started watching and playing yugioh since I was 11 in 2002. I wasn’t very good at reading as a kid, & the game helped me to want to learn how to read/get better at the game Kuzuki Takahashi has created. I’ve met a lot of people along the way from regionals, ycs tournaments, & nationals as well as many locals I’ve played in throughout the two decades! I’ve met my childhood best friend from playing yugioh, & we still talk today. We use to watch yugioh right before heading to out local tournament, & books a million hobby league tournaments. My father use to buy me booster boxes for chores, & give me a few packs every once in a while.
    Thank you for the game, manga, anime, & video games you’ve created Kazuki Takahashi! You’re gone but you won’t be forgotten!
    R.I.P to the King of Games

    This was a great video on the man. I didn't know that much about him outside of his creation of this franchise as we know it, and I had no idea he created two manga and anime before Yugioh. Seeing his story presented like this gives me a greater appreciation for him. Knowing the legacy he left behind, I'm proud to be a small, near insignificant, but passionate part of this fandom. I don't think I'll stop collecting the cards and having fun building new decks and playing the game with friends. After all, that's what he intended this game to be.
    Kazuki is a legend. And he ended his opening turn with the greatest board of all time. No petty negates, no over the top bells and whistles. He left his soul for us to admire and respect. He was the King of Games, and now we will honor him by giving our all. He wouldn't want anything less, I'm sure.

    My first exposure to the manga was through Volume 1, issue 2 of the U.S. Shonen jump, which included the chapter where Yami Yugi faced off against (and burned alive) the escaped convict. The darker tone of the Manga compared to the anime cemented me as a fan. Anzu was pretty hot too... RIP Takahashi.

  • @GodKingHater

    Yugioh was the first way me and my big brother would bond, it was my first anime, my first card game, and my first passion. Yugioh has brought more joy to me than almost any other media, it helped me build the strategic side of my mind before I even new how to read. Yugioh is a franchise that means more to me than any other media. Yugi taught me friendship, Atem taught me strategy, Jaiden taught me what it means to do something just for the fun of it, Yusei taught me how to lead and be apart of a team, Yuma taught me to never give in to hopelessness. Thank you Kazuki Takahashi, for showing me what it means to be human. I end my turn.

    I went back into Yu-Gi-Oh! 4 months ago because of a friend, last time I played it was 20 years ago and despite not having a physical deck I enjoy playing the mobile games, on the 12th of June I got corona and started watching 5D's because I had nothing to do and two days before Kazuki sensei passed away finished the anime, now all the good moments and good things from that series will become a sad but also a great experience that will be carved in my memory.

It's one of the few franchises that I have kept up with over the years and even into decades now and i have to thank Kazuki Takahashi for that for wanting to make something out of his work and himself. To this very day, me and friends that i've manage to get into Yugioh along the way still duel and the next one will be for the creator himself.

    Kazuki Takahashi, i truly thank you for all your hard work with this series. I was very familiar with the tv shows of Yugioh and i had friends who played the card game but i never actually played it myself. My friends tried to teach me but i kept getting confused so i stopped. Duel Links appeared which got me curious but when i heard about Synchro and XZY summoning was supposed to be in the game i thought against it since i got confused before. Around 3yrs a video on Duel Links appeared on my recommended page, after i watched it i said ill try it out if i don't like it ill jus delete it. I'm still playing it too this day grinding it out because i wanna play a Galaxy eyes deck with that new Full Armored, Cipher blade, Photon Lord (Galaxy eyes), anyways this series has really helped me a lot like when im not feeling up to par or helping me make friends, either way i really love this amazing series and thank you for sharing your idea with the world!

    I remember first watching the Yugioh anime and being rather drawn in, the cards the various battles. I even had my own deck at that point, consisting of Blue eyes White dragon, Red eyes Black dragon, Dark Magician and Summoned Skull. sadly that deck is lost to time as was my second deck. years later I'm getting back into this game, and rebuilding my new deck. so thank you Kazuki Takahashi rest in peace the True king of games.
