Yu-Gi-Oh is unrivalled, from its' poignant usage of freaky fish guys, to screwing the rules because it has money. Quite frankly, no other series stood a GhOsT oF a ChAnCe!!!
You too. Kazuki Takahashi has always been one of my favourite manga artists and I owe him a lot since Yu-Gi-Oh! was the first anime I ever saw, even if I didn’t know what that meant back then, but I love his art style and I love how he had so much on the page, but it was always drawn amazingly. And I love how he created this franchise with every other series afterwards. R.I.P Takahashi, thank you so much for all the amazing characters and memories.
The man literally died a hero, he drowned trying to rescue some people who fell overboard during a stormy night, kinda like what happened to Mako's father in the manga. He has some of my favorite monster designs in all of fiction, as a matter of fact, I often bought Yu-Gi-Oh cards just for seeing some cool artwork rather than playing the TCG, and thought that it would've been really dope to have a JRPG where he designed the monsters. Sadly, that was not meant to be, and I hope that he's resting comfortably in Heaven as a new generation of fans and long-time veterans alike continue to enjoy his work. Rest in Peace, Kazuki Takahashi, you won't be missed or forgotten... 😔 🙏

Takahashi lovingly wove everything he enjoyed in life into his art! Whether it be Manga, American Comics, Board/ Video games...and more!. His monsters were inspired by American Comics such as Spawn and Hellboy( Zombyre) to Manga from Go Nagi( Devilman for designs of Sirene for Harpy Ladies, and Devilman for D hero Malicious and Yubel transformations!). Even Celtic Guardian draws inspiration from Link from the Legend of Zelda. Sadly the Monster Reborn card art used in the show was originally an Ahnk but was changed for " US Sensibilities" . Luckily an uncut version of the art was later released.
@@alexenterprises1 LOL! Thanks man! His details were amazing to me at a young age. I couldn't stop looking at it for hours. Hope you're doing well and I hope you're looking forward to the color edition! Also, Yami vs Kaiba part 3 is my favorite fight in all the manga. 😆
2 small corrections, if this is about the manga then it's got a completely different cannon from the Studio Gallop anime universe, as a pose to the Yu-Gi-Oh manga universe which are two very different timelines. Also, on that note there's really only 6 Yu-Gi-Oh series from Gallop that are part of that anime universe. Sevens and Go Rush are a completely new universe about a completely new card game. This means that in terms of anime cannon Yu-Gi-Oh only expanded into 6 series (yes that's still pretty big, but compared to some other mega franchises that's not as far reaching as you'd expect). Regardless, great video. RIP Legend, went out in a way just as epic as he lived.
Wait... you lack some research if you think Kazuki made the western Monster reborn card. That was originally just an Ahnk (ancient egypt themed game) but too religious to sell on the christian market overseas so they censored it alongside other designs.
Actually the older Yugioh did make it over to the west. I found out about it because they went through the whole earlier part in the American Shonen Jump!
i'd love a video on the artistic evolution of Go Nagai, AKA, the author of Devilman, the shounen battle manga from 1972 which inspired Yu-Gi-Oh, Berserk, Evangelion, and even Akira Toriyama!
Thanks for your video. I am going through the Yugioh series now. I understand what you mean with the shift in themes and art styles from the original DM series. Something about that original series has so much magic and nostalgia for me.
It's finally good to know that the Yu-Gi-Oh manga is finally getting the respect and recognition it deserves, it's been my long time favorite series and my number 1 favorite manga of all time!
1. You didn't mention Yugioh spawned the Bandai card game in 1998 before Konami released their own in 1999. As stated by both Takahashi and Megumi Ogata (original voice of Yugi/Yami Yugi), the Bandai card game was popular and specifically for Ogata, the Bandai card game caused the original Toei anime's ratings to increase at the start of the 2nd half (July). 2. You showed the censored art of Resurrection of the Dead (Monster Reborn). 3. You didn't mention that despite the original Toei anime not releasing in the West, the source manga did in 2002. Just like Duel Monsters anime after it, the Toei anime made story and character changes. You're not losing out on not seeing altered content when the source manga is readily available and of course much darker because both anime aired at 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM/6:30 PM, respectively, so changes had to be made for TV (and both anime were marketing their respective card games).
Good send off video to a great person, but should have consulted some details with people more engaged to the story, it shows you are not really into it.
I feel attacking A.I right now is a lot like attacking a child just learning to draw, this obviously isn't the peak of their potential (through what with art being subjective I must say I rather enjoy the current style of the stuff coming out now, whatever people are apparently finding "souless" about it appealing to my misbegotten aura somehow XD. Also I'm just commenting on the output itself not how they may or may not be develotheir output b4 anyone attacks me)
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
You too 😁
You too Alex, and you too Colonel.

0:22 Ahem, it's pronounced "zeal".
Takahashi in the 90's: I just wanna do manga
Takahashi in the 2000's: I created an empire
He was a very talented artist and a really good man
Rest in peace 🙏

Always loved the Egyptian imagery in this series, RIP to the 🐐
One of the manga artist that inspired me to become one myself. I'm sad that he's gone, but know that his life's work will live on.
Ngl, kind of had Dark Blood and your work and love for Yu-Gi-Oh in my mind when making this one bro 👌🏼

Leaving out the original Yugioh 1998 anime by Toei as expected.
Its still hard to believe he's dead.
Was not expecting Yugioh content on the channel or to catch your eye for your Artistic Evolution series. It's a pleasant surprise
Kazuki Takahashi was the very first manga author I ever read. May he rest in peace
GX's second season had lots of crossovers with DM Characters
… Well… guess I’m starting GX this weekend XD
@@alexenterprises1 But please watch it in sub. Unfortunately the dub cuts a lot of content and changes meaningful dialog in favor of funny quips.
No worries there - I remember hearing they never dubbed the ending! So I always planned on just going sub 👍🏼
@@alexenterprises1 Oh i see, good choice 😁.
But which arc had the best duelists?

Devilman started the Demon inside trope as well.
@@thomasffrench3639 that's true!

I love YU-GI-OH as it was one my first anime i ever watched.Rest in peace Kazuki Takahashi and thank you for all your awesome work.
I was a huge fan of Yugioh anime and card game.
It's finally good to know that the Yu-Gi-Oh manga is finally getting the respect and recognition it deserves, it's been my long time favorite series and my number 1 favorite manga of all time!
An absolute legend. Both as an artist and as a person.
Rest In Peace
His artstyle is beautiful, sharp and elegant. Really inspirational stuff as an artist.
He was a great artist and an even better man ❤
What’s with the random A.I. art dig? Would love a more in-depth explanation possibly even a video on the problem
Thanks for the vid
Later Yugi looks like he's doing a cosplay of earlier Yugi.
The animé drawing style from the original series is my all time favorite Manga art style
YES! YU GI OH ARTISTIC EVOULUTION!!!
THANK U!!!
That moment you realize Yugi was the OG goth bf of anime. I need time to process this
I wish his influence was still on the modern cards. Mostly every card nowadays is just generic anime people.

Goated, Rip
Monster reborn is censored it’s a cross in the Japanese.
It's an Ankh
First Shonen Manga I ever read, R.I.P
anyone got a list of the art books?
That's not monster reborn, that's the censored version.
The og manga us unironically good. It's about dangerous situations instead of fighting.
Its time to DDDDDDDD-draw.
1:25 shadow realm doesnt exist in the original manga or the anime, it was invented by 4kids
Good send off video to a great person, but should have consulted some details with people more engaged to the story, it shows you are not really into it.
I feel attacking A.I right now is a lot like attacking a child just learning to draw, this obviously isn't the peak of their potential (through what with art being subjective I must say I rather enjoy the current style of the stuff coming out now, whatever people are apparently finding "souless" about it appealing to my misbegotten aura somehow XD.

Shut up.
@@Homodemon no u
Ai art is theft. It's not a "child learning to draw", it's a soulless algorithm that takes others art and Frankensteins it together.
@@sillycookie copying is not theft
monster reborn is the censored artwork
