right, so- something i found interesting was the way that roba’s brothers address them in the original japanese anime + manga, & it’s interesting because while mokuba & the other characters in the show use the standard affectionate ones like “nii-sama/chan” etc you get the idea, roba’s brothers use  兄ちゃん (anchan)

it’s kind of uncommon to hear even in anime, but when it IS used, it’s usually in reference to a mafia ringleader, or the male boss of a gang of roughhousers. i assume that’s probably what takahashi meant for its usage–a joke related to how roba is the oldest of a small ‘gang’ of brothers–but going deeper into the terminology i found something kinda interesting from an etymology research paper from berkeley 

from Informal Fictive Kinship in Japan by Edward Nobeck and Harumi Befu:

For the Japanese population at large, anchan has come to be a term of reference for a class of urban young men. (…)  Anchan may be described as rude young men of low social class and little formal education who wear brightly colored clothing considered garish and in poor taste. They may also use colognes and perfumes and have permanent waves, but rather than being effeminate they are unprincipled toughs.

so, the biggest overall usage of “an-chan” is towards men who, despite their outward appearance, are the absolute pinnacle and poster image of masculinity?

tbh that for me invokes the image of like. roba trying to come out to his brothers, and them being as young as they are, they take “i don’t want to be called a girl anymore” to its logical extreme in their enthusiasm to support him and end up calling him “an-chan”, which. is so adorable i’m not surprised roba didn’t challenge them on it tBH

tl;dr

roba is transmasc and his brothers are very supportive. he loves them very much

just finished the arc-v manga (the vast majority, considering it isnt finished) so here’s a slightly in-depth review from someone who hasn’t seen the vast majority of the anime:

i actually really liked it!! the characters were all lovable and entertaining in their own right. even yuzu in the beginning was super intriguing and had great potential but didn’t really go anywhere - that along with sawatari and isaac. also the love triangle (though it technically didn’t dominate the story) also pissed me off bc Of Course that’s what caused this entire GotDamn mess to begin with

yuzu in general, i loved in the beginning, got bored by the end bc she didn’t really keep her slightly selfish persona w/her only caring abt her dad’s duel school and not yuya (which would’ve been a cool thing to keep to develop her further) 

sawatari too, he had potential, but nothing really happened in the end. i like his relationship with sora and shun, but in the end the other two kinda stood out more bc they had more concrete personalities/quirks. sawatari kinda became a sora-satellite in the end, and while i love that bc He’s Gay, i also don’t like it bc aside from being cocky he doesn’t have much of a personality

i also didn’t really like rei akaba’s chara not bc of any flaws, but mainly bc he seems way too much like a kaiba 2.0 w/a revenge plot

the love triangle w/adam, eve, and isaac was also really frustrating bc............. hello???? love triangles are ridiculously overdone and are cheap ways to advance the story. just make adam an overzealous idiot and be done with it - no need to add isaac’s “””tragically unrequited lovee””” into the mix

the fanservice was something i really hated too, mainly bc in the gx and 5ds manga it wasn’t As Obvious and There + yuzu is 14 you freaks. so that kinda sucked :/ treatment of fem charas wasn’t great as a whole (everything w/yuzu, sora’s sister dying as his tragic backstory, eve revolves adam....... like wyd.....)

as for what i liked, i really loved the yu boys and their dynamics, + how they had their own small forms of characterization, with yuto kinda being the cool, composed type, yuri being The Bitch, and yugo being............ yugo. yuya was admittedly kinda flat as a character bc he was basically the embodiment of the ‘friend to all living things’ trope but it got balanced out with the sweet relationship between him and his bros

yuya i feel as a whole is a stellar example of how to balance out a bland character with impactful and interesting relationships to make them seem more fleshed-out in comparison

everyone else was p fucking cool too - shun was hilarious and though he kinda fell out of relevance once the duel w/eve began, his whole dueling to live thing was basically ryo marufuji’s character arc taken less seriously (thus making it better lmfao). sora, i loved seeing him being the little shit he was.

adam and eve were snacks too i mean look at them.

all in all, i really liked it, though if i had to rate the yugioh manga i’ve read so far in terms of writing, it would be:

gx

5ds

arc-v

dm

that isn’t to say the arc-v manga is bad, but it just isn’t better than the first two, bc i rlly love almost all the gx charas and the story of 5ds a lot better

dm is at the bottom bc it honestly sucked ass. the anime does not receive enough praise for wading through the swamp of shit takahashi threw at them and pulling out gold

but i have to admit artistically, the arc-v has the best art, dynamic posing, and Iconique facial expressions (which, interestingly enough, come almost entirely from yuzu and shun................ hm)

If I remember correctly, Yugi’s dad is never even mentioned once in the manga nor the anime… So what I’m getting from this is that he has TWO moms
