Welcome to my review of the YuGiOh manga. I will make this review as spoiler free as I can If you think this Is a good review please leave a like. YuGiOh is in total 343 chapters and 38 volumes however the english releases of the manga split the manga into 3 different parts. The first part being called just YuGiOh. Many fans might recognize the adaptation of it as YuGiOh Season 0. The second part of the manga is called YuGiOh Duelist. This adaptation is the one most fans recognise as it is the first english dubbed YuGiOh season to ever be broadcasted over TV. The third part is called YuGiOh Millenium World. Millenium World is very different to the adaptation and I will go in to details with every part in this review but I want to clear up that I will be going to use the three different parts because thats how most YuGiOh fans experienced the manga. Now then all being said onto the review YuGiOh is 7 volumes long containing 59 chapters. This part of YuGiOh is in my opinion the best introduction to this series. When you think of YuGiOh you think of child friendly cards and fun. However the manga is much more dark and gory than you might have expected. The story follows our main protagonist Yugi a tenth grader who owns a puzzle from his grandpa who owns a game shop. Yugi has been trying to complete this triangle formed puzzle for 8 years with no success until one day he actually completes this. When Yugi completed the puzzle the triangle was in shape and in the middle was an eye. As soon as he completed the puzzle the eye shines light into Yugis forehead showing a big eye glowing. Yugi had gained the soul of a great Pharoh. When YuGiOh gained the soul of this Pharaoh he instantly became a gaming master beating any kind of game from normal board game to russian roulette type of games. The thing is Its the Pharohs soul who is the gaming master and not Yugis original soul. Yugis soul only switches when his dearest friends are in trouble thats when he comes up with a game and tries to beat them in a shadow game. The games most often becomes very extreme including electric shocks fire and much more. Overall this part is pretty good its a good introduction to the series and It shows Kazuki Takahashis great art and story telling. Overall 9.5/10. https://imagesna.sslimagesamazon.com/images/I/81K7taBQxiL.jpg YuGiOh Duelist Is the part after YuGiOh and is 24 volumes long 219 chapters. This part focuses muh more on duel monsters the card game and has much more lore. We get to know stuff like the creation behind the card game more about the 7 millenium items one of them yugi owns and a lot more. We also get to see the improvement in Kazuki Takahashis art. https://xfss118.batcg.org/comic/7006/330/6112c595a6eda6e243300033/875551215002250398960.webp?acc=2H63GuFz8UhfO9GRcI8toQexp=1694968403 We also get introduced to a lot of new characters and we get introduced to a lot of stratagies. We also get to see Yugi finally being able to switch between the pharaohs soul and his own. https://dwgkfo5b3odmw.cloudfront.net/manga/thumbs/shonenjump/yugiohmillennium/thumb2381YGM0760web.jpg There isnt anything more to say really about this part. It has much more going on and i think it is the most ambitious part. This was also most likely the start of many peoples childhood and getting introduced to the series 9.5/10. YuGiOh Millenium World is arguably the best part compared to the other parts. It is 7 volumes and 65 chapters and concludes the ending of the original run. This part takes place in a shadow game for the most part and the protagonist of this part is the Pharohs soul. We learn much more things about the Pharoh. When Yugi first got the Pharohs soul he had forgotten his memories and name in this part we slowly get to know his memories and slowly we get to know his name which is the mission in this part. We also get to see how duel monsters was used to play. As expected the art is fabulous even though sometimes it can be hard to understand you have to take into concideration that this was a weekly series. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/795252691013074965/867748795630223360/0065002.png The manga is very different to the anime because the anime included Kaiba and was directed by 4Kids and we all know 4Kids suck My final words for this review: Oh boy. This manga sure was a ride It had a lot of twists emotional scenes scenes that made me get up from my seat just a whole roller coaster ride. For someone to have never watched or read the series It was fun to see what the series was about. The world building in this series was just awesome the character development was superb. My most final words for this review is you should most definetally give this series a shot It has amazing art amazing character and amazing story telling.
