Hasn't that been one of the most requested ones for years?
I thought it was well established the animation part of the episode isn’t what would go down between the two, and is just something to entertain folks, though I’m willing to bet someone on DeviantArt or DeathBattleFandom Wiki would write out everything in detail.
I think so? I’m not well versed in the versus community though I’m pretty sure that if Ash wasn’t going to face Yugi, he’d face Red, and the whole thing would be animated like a Pokemon battle and it’d be marketed as something like “Pokemon: the games vs the anime”.
I guess it was more closer to Duelist Kingdom rules given the freestyle nature of the battle since there would be no reasonable way for him to get out all his heavy hitters normally, but there wasn't much they could do if they wanted to stick to each character's main theme. Otherwise Atem just hits Ash with a mindcrush and calls it a day
Strictly speaking in this situation Atem could just spam monsters because without the rules of Duel Monsters restricting him he just needs the Spiritual Energy to maintain it all, and I think Mind Crush requires him winning the shadow game first?
I always assumed that was more of an honor-bound thing. Like he could do it any time, but he gives his opponent a chance to get a victory and avoid the punishment. I can't even remember how many times he did a "Mind Crush" outside of Kaiba. He just did a bunch of the Punishment Game type stuff in the early manga.
Cancelation mostly, outside of Duel Monsters the chapter plots are really samey and boring.
True, but I loosely remember the god cards taking up a lot of energy so I don't think he could maintain an army unless power of friendship came into play, but doesn't matter too much since Ash doesn't have an answer for busted Ancient Egyptian magic. As for the mindcrush, I always thought that was more of a honor thing since he even hit Panik with a penalty who wasn't in a Shadow Game. Kinda hard to tell since he only did it to jerks and stopped once Duelist Kingdom made him more heroic.
I mean you're not wrong, I just meant I wonder if Takahashi had any sort of plan as to where the series would go, or if it'd just be horror oneshots until it got canceled or he ran out of ideas.
When you click that addendum…
Isn't that the one where they tried to convince us that Cloud can take exploding suns to the face?
Something like that? I recall something about Supernova getting called illusion stuff back in the Sephiroth v Vergil fight (where that got used to decide on Vergil's loss) but it has been a considerable amount of time since I've seen that episode.
It's simply impossible to buy shit like that. It's why I had suggested a thread to make fun of powerscalers could be fun to see with how much bullshit they'll spew.
I wonder how linked the power scaling and the vs debate/battle board communities are. Part of me feels they’re almost one and the same.
The kid from Danny Phantom?
