Yugioh: Duel Monsters (Duelist Kingdom)
Synopsis
Long ago, the Egyptian Pharaohs played a game of great and terrible power. This ‘Yami no Game’ (Dark Game) altered the fate of the entire world. That was until a brave pharaoh sealed this evil force away in seven magical items. Now, a young boy solved the millennium puzzle that was once left hidden for thousands of years. This boy, with both light and darkness in his heart, is known as Yugi, the King of Games…
Review
This review is for season 1 of Duel Monsters, Episodes 1-40, Pegasus’s Duelist Kingdom Tournament, and the following episodes 41-49, the duels against Rebecca and Otogi (english name is Duke Devlin). Miho-chan from the original Yugioh series is missing. Everyone knows or at least has heard about Duelist Kingdom just like everyone has a slight idea as to what Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z are. Jounouchi uses the Time Wizard to acquire the Red Eyes, Mokuba duels for the only time, Kaiba summons his Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, and Pegasus possesses the dreaded Toon World card.
The Breakdown
Come on, it’s Yugioh for crying out loud! This is what started it all, in America at least.
