Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
A lot of people talk about Dark Signers but honestly so far the Fortune Cup arc (1-26) is one of the most solid openings in a Yugioh series.
The way you're suddenly thrown into the world, shown the contrast between Satellite and Neo Domino City, the disparity, the overall darker atmosphere, the duels on motorbikes...it's just amazing.
I had some issues with the DS arc pacing and some duels were outright terrible but honestly Fortune Cup is a solid wonder from the beginning to the end.
In some ways it feels like a rehash of Duelist Kingdom but it quickly becomes more than that (it's similar with Dark Signers and Battle City btw). It's engaging, every character of the main cast has a moment to shine, it avoids feeling like a generic Monster-of-the-Week format, the animation is generally excellent and engaging (it's a big shock coming from GX's PowerPoint-esque cheap animation).
Yusei: Z-one, please let us help you (in a non destructive way)! We can solve this problem if we work together!!!
Z-one: ...
Rex Godwin: Not me - I'm going to f#cking kill him!!!
Yusei: 😒
This prompt was about altering canon, and here's something I'd like to implement from one canon to another: The Duel Links interactions with Z-one. But while the Signers and Z-one's (former) comrades were mostly supportive a la "Don't despair, we'll find a way to solve this together. Kiryu's got some good self help books!" and the Dark Signer's "Yes bitch slay", Godwin just wanted to kill the guy.

Summary:
For some people the world is wonderful, for others it is torn. Many believe that this is based on the environment you grew up to. Whether you had most of the things you wanted and whether you couldn't even afford the basics. However, could there really be someone who believes that and yet, thinks that things can change? Even if they have been abandoned by actual society could they still only know how to make steps forward? After being alone for almost their entire life after so many losses and never ending spits of blood to save the ones of importance? In the end though, there comes a rough time in everyone's life where they have to make a choice. We can follow a path of light full of hope and a long fight with trophy our freedom. We can also follow another path, a one tainted by pure darkness. This choice is one our hero will need to make as well. This is HIS story. A story not about someone who chose light, someone who fell in the dark or someone who chose light through evil means. It is about the tragic one who wanted to follow the light so much that he, eventually, lost it all....
Request: Jack running into Carley's friend after they ran off to duel the Dark Signer, only to find the friend holding onto Carley's glasses with a blank stare on their face even though they won the duel
Your friendship with Carly was easily defined as the one friend who constantly gets into trouble and makes reckless decisions,and the other friend who was the responsible parent. Constantly warning her about the mistakes she was making or about to make.
“I’m gonna sneak into the arcadia building,Goodwin is connected to them somehow”
“Carly,what the hell. You can’t possibly think this is a good idea,other than it being illegal who knows what they would do if they found you. Carly they’re responsible for too many disappearances,you’re the one who told me about Misty’s brother. Get out of there”
“I’m sorry Y/N I have to find out the truth” Before you could argue back,she hung up and refused to answer her phone again. You hated when she did this,whenever she set her mind to something she didn’t give up easily. Just as you made it to the building you saw a bright purple glow close off any access to the building,followed by a giant black and orange bird monster. You immediately knew what that meant,there was a dark signer in that building. Your blood ran cold,you needed to find Carly and get her out of here. You were starting to worry more with each door you opened,only to find it empty. Just as you were about to walk upstairs you saw something on one of the steps,her glasses.
***
She was one of the dark signers now,you couldn't understand why or how. But you knew you had to go up against her,everyone didn't want you to duel her,but you had to see her again even if it was just one last time.
During the duel you saw her switch between the real Carly and the dark signer Carly. You had only managed one direct attack but she managed several. She was only down by 1000 life points on the other hand you were at only 1000,one more attack from her fortune lady earth and it would be over. Except you had one card that could turn this around.
"Carly,I know you're still in there somewhere and I want you to know that I'm sorry. I could've stopped you, I could've saved you. Carly I-I" You could already feel the tears coming out
"Y/N" She yelled causing you to look up "please just end this,I can't take it anymore I hurt so much" She was crying but she recompose herself in a split second "Pathetic you let your feelings control you like that,that's the reason you'll be nothing more than another soul to add to my collection" She laughed,Carly was completely gone and whatever replaced her wasn't human. "Fortune lady earth attack"
"I activated my trap card,Divine wind" that card doubles a monster's attack power and reverses the attack. That was it,you won but it didn't feel like it. She was gone before you could even reach her. The last thing you heard her whisper was
So, anyway I sent his Earthbound Immortal and his trap card back with one effect. Like seriously this card is freaking disgusting do they not play test these cards!? Why are all the Ice Barrier synchro monsters so busted?!
Rudger: You can’t beat me in 20 turns!
Rebirth: Bold of you to assume your can last that long against me. *Proceeds to win 4 times faster than that*
What happened
Rudger used Mausoleum of the Emperor to summon Uru losing 2000 life points to summon him the loses an extra 3000 to Magic Cylinder. I synchro summoned Brionac and bounced his Earthbound Immortal and trap attacking him directly. He used Heavy Storm to recall his field spell and he could no longer use it. So, then I just bounced his last trap and attacked him directly from the win.
hi i'm not complaining but why is dark signer kalin's outfit kinda yassified??? the fucking crop top and the visible midriff... that certainly was a design decision
I was gonna respond to this with some cool outfit analysis like "Oh well Satellite clothing tends to have heavy punk and grunge influences, so him having off the wall alternative fashion might be a deliberate choice to try and still style himself as a radical freedom fighter" but then I looked again and I AM 90% SURE HE'S JUST WEARING A CROP TOP MADE FROM THE SAME SHIRT HE WORE WHEN HE WAS ALIVE
