"I don't want to lose any more friends!! Even if that means my soul should shatter!"
We all know the line. It's Ryou at his most powerful: outsmarting and defeating Bakura all on his own very early on in the series. Not sure for yall, but I've only ever heard and known it in the voice of Kashiwakura Tsutomu (season 0).
So! I was pleasantly surprised to find out that in the YGO × Power Pros collab, there's a soundbite of that very line in the voice of Matsumoto Rica!
Lmao yeah that's Bakura's sprite in the video since he's the playable character in the collab, I think? idk anything about the collab tbh (baseball???) but Ryou has that line at least.
Bakura has his own lines too. They're mostly reworded/rerecorded Battle City ones, including when he shields Ryou from Osiris' attack and, uh, quite the ecstatic/maniacal declaration of "Millennium Eye! Get!" (as in, "The Millennium Eye is mine!") from Duelist Kingdom. Bakura's voice is deeper and a bit raspier. Same quality from Duel Links.
more faithful anime remake when so I dont have to forever cling to this eight-second clip

[Image ID: a digital watercolor illustration of Ryou Bakura, gently floating at an angle in a textured, pale blue background. His expression is soft, gazing at one of his hands. The lineart is primarily only along the lower, shadowed edges of his body. The color along some of the unlined top edges is fading, the pigment dripping upward, as if he is slowly fading as he falls.]
Bakuratober Day 14: Ghost
Second Rebelle test, watercolors & drips. This time on mulberry paper, because I love the almost web-like texture, and wanted to see how it affected the water physics.
I love the idea his undershirt here has shoulder cutouts! But my favorite shirt has a wide neck, too, so I like to think it's a half binder & matching armsleeves. Maybe someday he'll get a binder with a rad pattern to show off!
Also, Rebelle is still on sale for $20 (the Pro version is usually $150), and has a demo available if you wanna test it out! https://www.escapemotions.com/blog/ten-years-of-escape-motions
❝ you're laughing, so you must have thought that was funny. ❞ (Bakura)
Laughter feels almost FOREIGN to the snow-locked author. It's not like he's particularly apathetic towards all things humorous, no, but he rarely ever finds it in him to truly belt out a real, full laugh. His general sense of expressivity's far less PROMINENT than what the spirit of the ring made it out to be, one'll find, so it's usually it's just something of a smile or a hushed puff.
So it's no surprise when Bakura presses a palm against a light ache in his stomach from the action, looking upon Otogi with the remnants of the laugh still bubbling out of him. Each 'ha' is more subdued than its predecessor, however, as he gradually regains enough of his COMPOSURE to verbally respond.
" I did, yes. " he nods, chest still not having quite settled from the fit and lips still TUGGED into the after-cast of the laugh: a bright-eyed smile and a subtle tilt at his head. " You must have realized the comedic potential of it too, no? The idea that - ha - the idea that a gargoyle would ever look like that? Oh, it's so - hah. ha. You should redesign it, Otogi. "
