I always liked how Kaiba was the only one whose eyes weren't all watery in the opening, just because it showed how little fucks he gave about anything in the show.
Honestly, regardless of your thoughts on the dub (I think people can be pretty hard on it), you cannot deny that this theme song is truly incredible. Fun, energetic, but still with that undercurrent of darkness and mystery. I think it fits Yu-Gi-Oh! as a series pretty darn well.
Very true, although the shadow realm business is considered a worse than death I think I'd rather have them just die than sent to the shadow realm. Less imagination needed for just death, the shadow realm is a vague place of torture that's worse than just plain old vanilla death
I had to sneak to watch anime growing up with my dad. He always thought anime is just for kids. Well now I'm 33 and I still watch anime and even got my daughter into like anime as well
REST IN PEACE KAZUKI TAKAHASHI YOU BROUGHT ME SO MANY MEMORIES I LOVED THAT YOU MADE MY CHILDHOOD AMAZING I LOVED THAT WE WERE BORN ON THE SAME DAY THANK YOU!
you started off strong but got really cringe no one cares when your birthday is jesus christ do you not get attention from friends irl you gotta go to the internet hoping some one will say happy birthday?

Use what little social skills you have and figure out why you're in a comment section antagonizing an entire group of people trying to grieve over the lost of something important to them.
Tayone Pender Idk man, in season 1 there's guns everywhere and in season 2+3 you got tons of attempted murder (the chain saw cutting off legs, kaiba and yugi roof duel,) as well as actual murder (Noah's death, Malik stabbing his father to death)
Man the ending scene with Yamiwaving his card and summoning all his iconic monsters, it has no reason to be so smooth and hitting so hard. The animatirs really put all they had in that last bit
Gone too soon.. R.I.P Kazuki Takahashi. The only card based TV series I really wanted to watch back then was Yu-Gi-Oh! The lore dealing with ancient Egypt, the amazing battles & seeing what was going to happen to Yugi next. Good times.
At least he didn't go out with a whimper, in fact, he died saving the lives of a family at sea. Ironically, I could see Yugi do something similar. He was just like the character he created. And it just made me appreciate the series even more.
Me too on dvd 📀 When we used to watch things on DVDs now You can watch them on the Internet I got rid of my 2 old Yugioh DVDs because I didn’t want them anymore Good old memories
God damn. I remember my dad showing me this show, and this is where my anime journey started. When I didn't even know what anime was. I was around 9 or 11 I wanted to say. Never finished it, but this was a part of my childhood, and this theme still gives me chills to this day.
I feel so blessed that I got to grow up with this show. I remember being in school back in 2002 couldn’t stop thinking about when I’ll be able to watch the next episode haha. my brother and I had the starter decks and would duel all the time with friends. great memories! :) wish I could experience it again.
The music was one of the few things I think they got very much correct in the English dub of the show, overall the combinations of varying degrees of orchestra, techy music (particularly the Kaiba hacker theme with techy), and rock guitar as well as various other instruments and styles gave the duels a feel of their own that wouldn't be out of place in most dramatic tv shows and movies/action movies. bandit keith's theme could easily be the theme for multiple action movie villains that have a similar style to him, the more dramatic battle themes could be used in chase scenes and shit like that, and the various egyptian overtones of several themes still give them the feel that yes this is definitely yu-gi-oh. my guess is they tried to follow the example laid down by yu-yu-hakusho in terms of the score in the first series and then broke away from that standard once they were established, which honestly it DID work.
ahh the memories of watching this as when i was younger come flooding back everytime i see the intro, still my all time favourite show from my childhood
Me I don’t sounded like fun me only Watched 2003 TMNT in 2004 on Toast that’s a TV channel that’s was my days. I could only imagine the amount of fun it would be to watch after school back then.
@@kgamerthemakerofsirby this counts the 99 souls of Yami Bakura’s village that the pharaoh’s father and uncle killed then melted to create the millennium items. The souls in the items that were mended to become the items is why theirs shadow games The uncle/Kaiba’s bio dad is the one who made the sacrifices for the times
Aww so nostalgic, back when the game was fun to play and turns went by quick so you didn’t have to bother cleaning up your room while the other person took their turn
after 10 years ago i can't forget my best anime yu gi oh and this opening was incridble best childhood anime i ever seen ! say goodbye to my childhood 😭
Like many of you guys I never knew Kazuki Takahashi but like many people he made my childhood and even my adulthood people think I'm joking when I tell them yugioh has taught me so many life lessons even at 25 when I first saw zexal I just loved it and I do therapy and we've had countless sessions just talking about yugioh and how I wanted to be just like Jaden and yuma but I identify as shark or chazz even syrus I did a fitness challenge and I built a yugioh deck atk points for pushups defense points for sit ups my last challenge wasn't going well so of all things I watched zexal kites plight part 1 & 2 as well as sibling rivalry from GX and from there everything was okay and I got the strength to continue I remember going into therapy when I first started and pharaoh atem said to kaiba after he beat him in battle City he said you'll never be successful until you conquer the monsters in your heart watching the waking the dragons season even though it's filler and taking from it that nothing good comes from giving into your hatred or rage and even if you win (mai valentine) you'll still lose Thank you for the memories thank you for the life lessons thank you for the free therapy sessions you were great
That was my definition of awesomness when i gave it first watch 20 years ago, and after all these years nothing has changed at all... (and Magician of Black Chaos poster is still present in my room)
I always loved music, art and characters in general in all the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. Some characters even had different eye types and so on. The hair colours, hairdos and clothing became pretty flashy and distinctive, too. In my opinion, it is very hard to mistake Yu-Gi-Oh!'s style with another show. It is just unique. By the way... I always prefer the japanese version (because I love to listen to the original voices and to read subs, lol) but when I watched the show on TV, they used this opening and I absolutely loved it. It is such a masterpiece, I love how they mixed these music genres together even though they are so different. This is one of the songs I remember the most from my childhood. And I also built up my deck back in school by Yugi's side. Remember when I used to duel a lot with my male classmates. Man, I feel so old. And I dunno why, but out of the series I'm into GX (my favourite) and this one far more than the others. Sometimes when I watched Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D I got bored, and after that, Yu-Gi-Oh! couldn't even catch my attention anymore. Until now (?) I can't even remember the last episode I watched on TV 😥 Maybe it is because of the main characters? I just love Yugi's design (his eyes are so beautifully drawn, it takes my breath away) and Judai's bright personality (I love his hair too much, lol). Is that or the colour schemes. I dunno myself x) I guess I always thought GX was more colourful and lively until the mystery took over the series again and... I started to theorize so much it wasn't just a children's card game then xD But to be honest... Who didn't want to assist the Duel Academy when they were little? ^^ How much I love this show

Yami's got the best voice actor of all time.
True! Dan Green is the best!!! 😃
It's actually atem
Joshua Ortiz both names are used actually, the creator even calls him Yami mostly
Dan green also plays yugi muto as well
Heck yeah

Very true, although the shadow realm business is considered a worse than death I think I'd rather have them just die than sent to the shadow realm. Less imagination needed for just death, the shadow realm is a vague place of torture that's worse than just plain old vanilla death
Yu-Gi-Oh is pretty damn dark but that's what makes it awesome, it's like it caters to people of all audiences
Honestly, the dub being so cheesy is why I love it so much
Without the dub, Kaiba wouldn't be as memorable and fan favorite lol
Saturday mornings were the only time I would get up myself. Yu Gi Oh
Same :3
I had to sneak to watch anime growing up with my dad. He always thought anime is just for kids. Well now I'm 33 and I still watch anime and even got my daughter into like anime as well

Whoever made that split shadows symbolism needs a documentary
The very first Yu-Gi-Oh! anime I watched. Good times.
08dguy Agreed.
agreed
Mine was GX
Yusei sjad alkabi Zone You're welcome, 5D's is one of my favorite animes
08dguy best one because it actually shows yams and Yugi and not like some other character.
IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-DDDD-DUEL!
Fuck clorox
it actually is "it's time to duel"
Yeah that's right. It's time to drool lol
drool with nostalgia
btw my sister slept with my yugi cardboard cutout
As much as I dislike the english dub for it's censorship, musical changes and character butching; I can't deny I get goosebumps hearing this theme.
It was geared towards kids & hD to be edited for the American market or the FCC would have banned it
Tayone Pender Nah I doubt that, after all FUNimation's Dragon Ball Kai dub was kept close to the Japanese version.
Yeah, but u can't compare it cuz DBZ & DBZ Kai & GT had fighting violence, this didn't.
Tayone Pender Idk man, in season 1 there's guns everywhere and in season 2+3 you got tons of attempted murder (the chain saw cutting off legs, kaiba and yugi roof duel,) as well as actual murder (Noah's death, Malik stabbing his father to death)
I get goosebumps too! Especially with that voice at the end, "YUUUU-GI-OH! (GI-OH!) (GI-OH!) (Gi-Oh!) (Gi-Oh!)"
RIP Takahashi and Toriyama, legends forever
Man the ending scene with Yamiwaving his card and summoning all his iconic monsters, it has no reason to be so smooth and hitting so hard. The animatirs really put all they had in that last bit
My cousin won a yugioh tournament when we were younger and he got a huge millennium puzzle in a glass case. Man I was so jealous
That Faceless Doll Mage card was the start of my phobia with dolls
Alois Trancy Me too
My doll phobia stated when I was 10 and I watched chucky
Hi are on of you guy Josiah
0:27
Yo I was terrified of that part lol
In this opening:
Yami-Yugi-Moto: it's time to duel.
Joey: i'll do my best
Tristan: i'll help Joey
Seto Kaiba: i'll beat you all
@Alexis Eronmwon yeah cause that all she does lol
It’s time to duel is my favorite part
Téa: I'll give friendship 😂
Yeah but yugi beat kaiba
I love how kaiba always says he’s not playing games but yet he plays the card game.
I’ve noticed now since I watched S1 episode 1 2 3 4 5 for the first time lol yeah he does play games 😂
Gone too soon.. R.I.P Kazuki Takahashi. The only card based TV series I really wanted to watch back then was Yu-Gi-Oh! The lore dealing with ancient Egypt, the amazing battles & seeing what was going to happen to Yugi next. Good times.

there's only one way to settle this: by playing a children's card game!
a shit ton of adults and teens play it as well

One of the best anime’s of all time, will never forget spending Saturday mornings as a child watching this!
And we played the game.
00:43-00:55 has always give me chills
❤❤❤❤
this is honestly the best part
Definitely the unexplainable tear jerking part
@dudewithnolifepoop wouldnt be the best part without the rest of the song, this is the 2nd hest theme song next to the office theme, in my opinion
The most nostalgic part of all.
Fellow Duelists, if you see this, remember to believe in the Heart of the Cards and believe in yourself! You’re incredible! ✨
Thank you Yami☺️
Nice
Whenever someone asked me how I do something I say “because the heart of the cards”
Thank you ,Yami. You and Yugi are actually my favourites.
God damn. I remember my dad showing me this show, and this is where my anime journey started. When I didn't even know what anime was. I was around 9 or 11 I wanted to say. Never finished it, but this was a part of my childhood, and this theme still gives me chills to this day.
I remember this opening back when I was nine and it still hold up years later
I remember this so much and I haven't even watched this show in years.

This theme into never gets old
THIS GOES SO HARD, TAKE ME BACK IN TIME PLEASE
I haven’t heard this in so long and got chills 😢 my childhood
Same here
i love how the music goes so hard when he summons winged dragon guardian of the fortress lmao
If only real life conflicts were being solved by playing a card game.
Imagine ISIS challenging everyone to a duel.
Watch Yu-Gi-No! and you will hear Kaiba saying he dueled ISIS into submission
@@AzzyPT I think her namewas Ishizu. However, I could be remembering wrong.
I had to stop using this for my ringtone. The amount of people challenging me on the street when I don't have my deck was insane
I challenge you to a duel lol 😂 I would’ve said that back then when I was young about 8 or 10 Nowadays oh that’s cool Awesome song

after 25 years the original theme song is the best and most memorable
so much childgood memories
😢
I didn't even grow up with this series and yet, I just feel the nostalgia everyone else feels for this series
The nastiest intro in anime history 😩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Watching this theme brings back my childhood Saturdays.. thinking about getting some yuh gi oh tattoos now.
R.I.P. Kazuo Takahashi Your move.
Those brass horns at the end always sounded good!
That break in the song with "Your move!" is epic
Remember when we thought Pegasus was the only villain
I'll always love this show
R.i.p to my uncle George who was the technical assistant of this show ❤
This opening is awesome,one of my favorites. Rest in peace Takahashi thanks for creating Yugioh. Thank you 4kids for doing this opening.
