s1e14-15 "The Light at the End of the Tunnel" It's all about staying calm under pressure this week when Yugi must confront a threatening Player Killer... or "PaniK" if you're 4kids and legally cannot say the word "kill". The threat of burning alive, a delightful musical interlude, and some of the most ridiculous card strategy really helped this one shine for us. Plus some mundane life updates and a return to the Crunchyroll comments sections. SHOW NOTES: - If you want to see the two-in-one cut of

s1e11-12 "The Dueling Monkey" / "Trial By Red Eyes" Joey proves himself in a match against dino duelist Rex Raptor and debuts one of his iconic cards. We talk about whether the friendship message in this episode worked, possibly too much cardgame rule minutia, and which Yugioh character is the most like Shadow the Hedgehog. Plus Jenny's life updates and pro medical advice. SHOW NOTES: - There were some technical difficulties while recording this ep so if there are parts around the middle where the

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 media recommendations and talk about how our tastes in characters have changed since our childhood YGO nostalgia.

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 character, and play another round of our ship guessing game. SHOW NOTES: - Jonouchi does the "creepy chin face" in this episode

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 facts about Mai's voice actors.

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.

Also featuring lore clarifications, our favorite guessing game, and Jenny forgetting that heterosexuality exists SHOW NOTES: - Our guest was @cactusboyband! - It was too hard to cut around it without missing some very funny conversation, so I'll warn you that though we usually try to stay relatively spoiler-free on this show,

S1e01 "Heart of the Cards" Having finished the Toei anime, we start our journey to Duelist Kingdom! Today we're joined by special guest Lydia, who knows nothing about Yugioh, to give a fresh perspective on how well this pilot episode works as an introduction, despite the adaptation decision to skip 7 manga volumes (spoilers: not very well!). Along the way we manage to also discuss the X-Men, German philosophers, and why Grandpa should be the protagonist of the show. SHOW NOTES: - Our guest was

Yu-Gi-Oh (Movie 1999) The anime may be done but before we can close the book on Toei's Yugioh we need to also watch this short movie with great animation. It's pretty hard to work this into any sort of canon timeline, but that won't stop us from trying! We also give our regular recommendations and discover a new favorite film reviewer. No show notes!

s0e25 "A New Development - Attack of the Handsome Boy" We're joined by a VERY special guest this week, Jenny's sister Suzie, who helps us discuss the "normie" perspective. Yugi & his friends make some foolish decisions and are introduced to tabletop roleplaying in the first part of the Monster World arc. (Quick note- We had lots of technical difficulties while recording this and there are some blips & cutoffs in our audio during the 2nd half of this episode - still completely listenable but

s0e24 "Now! The Time of Decision - The Miracle of Friendship" The Death-T arc concludes with... not much of a bang, but some wacky decisions and a lot for us to discuss. Also we gave our usual recommendations and spent a weird amount of time talking about clowns. NOTES: - For a visual reference, the photo of the young Kaiba brothers looks like this in the anime. - if you're curious, we were able to later confirm that the main character of D.Gray-Man IS literally a clown who worked in a circus as
