s1e12-13 "Evil Spirit of the Ring" It's the first Bakura centered episode of Duel Monsters and oh boy, the Lore is going to drive us off the deep end in this one. We also discover some surprising dub/sub differences and really wish we were camping in the woods. Plus, chat about other manga that…

s1e09 & 10 "Duel with a Ghoul" / "Give Up the Ghost" A whole lot going on in this one. Good thing we have our guest Kry back to help us walk through extremely realistic #Hacking, musical interludes, and the bizarre lore implications of this duel's opponent (both sub & dub versions). Plus some…

more -
035 - Fish Are Too OP
s1e07 "Attack from the Deep" This week we DIVE on in to a very nonsensical duel against the top ocean duelist, Mako Tsunami. There's a lot of unpacking of when & why this season's inconsistent dueling rules do or don't work for us. Also we discover three equally acceptable backstories for one...
-
034 - The SuperSniffer
s1e06 "First Duel" It's Joey's first tournament match, against Mai Valentine, which gives us the opportunity to discuss whether Joey knows any math, if women be sniffing, and even more Naruto references than we normally make (which is a lot). Also some Jojo's Bizarre Adventure thoughts and fun...
-

s1e04 & 5 "Into the Hornet's Nest" / "Ultimate Great Moth" It's bug time! The first duel of the tournament, Yugi vs Weevil Underwood, taught us plenty of new things about bizarre rules, how to duel with honor, and exactly what noise a moth makes. No show notes! 🐛🐛
-
032 - Angsting in Socks & Sandals
s1e03 "Journey to Duelist Kingdom" This week we say hello to some new rival characters and GOODBYE TO EXODIA as Yugi &co make their journey to the Duelist Kingdom tournament. No one is surprised that this show is at its best when there is no actual dueling in the episode. SHOW NOTES: - As…
