found a partial translation from the YuGiOh 'Gospel of Truth' guidebook, spreading it around cause it's hosted on LJ and who knows how long that'll last...
I've seen Takahashi quoted elsewhere as saying YuGiOh had a lot of themes about fathers and sons, but this is the first time I've seen it summarized as "it's got a lot about patricide"
which. obviously Marik, and it's interesting to learn Kaiba absolutely views Gozaburo's death as his fault and feels bad about it - BUT YES THAT WAS MY NEXT POINT,,,,
Seto had the idea that war and games were one in the same. However, he placed a lot of emphasis on "fighting on one's very own to win," so he didn't hold any interest in corporate wars. the fact that kaiba switched from war profiteering to gaming not because of morals but because of his Aesthetic is the most delightfully kaiba thing i've ever read
With [gozaburo] just going ahead and dying, he wasn't able to score a complete and utter defeat against his father. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW SET FEELS ABOUT ATEM
damn kaiba, it's not enough for you that the guy is responsible for maintaining the stability of the entire cosmos, you also make him the keystone for your fucking sense of self? smh
imagine Atem just having a bonkers wig, and then in the 1990s some poor Japanese kid starts staring at his reflection like "my hair doesn't look right. how do I make my hair look right,"
anybody know if it was a cultural purity thing that the husband needed to miss work if a woman in his household was on her period, or are those absences to look after said wife/female relative instead?
it does
