DM Episode 1, redux
Because I can feel myself flinch whenever I see that someone is reading older Actual Content posts. All I’m doing here is a brand-new write up of the episodes, without consulting the older one.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (the anime) starts at roughly the same point as Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist (the manga), which means there are seven volumes of the manga that don’t get adapted directly*. While most of the first seven volumes are highly episodic and don’t necessarily *have* to be adapted to tell the card games-centric part of the story, there are two characters that were introduced in these volumes who can’t just be tossed into the first episode as part of Yugi’s circle of friends.
The first of these is Seto Kaiba.
