Äntligen får man se Bakura, en av de bästa karaktärerna i hela serien.

Still loving this series a lot more than I was expecting. Yugi is adorable and Jonouchi is really starting to become a really love able character to me.

The characters are so fleshed out already and has more depth to them than I was expecting from a children series.

Also I love Kaiba. That’s all.

Ryo seems like an interesting new character and I can’t wait to see how he develops as the series go on.

All in all there was a lot that happened in this volume and I’m onboard for the ride.

- I never expected a pervy toddler who takes a poop in a stranger's lap so he can save the love his life- a grown woman - that part felt like a weird drug trip I swear. 

- Yoyo gang battles was such a dope idea- I loved that part.

-Duel vs. Kaiba and Mokuba was amazing and I loved every single moment. 

- I loved the dragons game - it was so different and unique. 

-I loved the introduction of Bakura and Yami Bakura and their duel. I cannot wait for the second part, especially because Bakura was always one of my favourite characters.

This is such a wild series. Glad to see duel monsters finally come back into play.

Let's kill half the population of Japan with our penalty games and hope no one ever looks for these poor people. Apart from that, Takahashi keeps on focusing on the beauty of games, be it board or cards, and offers a multitude of choices to play. The art is more crisp, more beautiful and, by the end, the story evolves into the Yu-Gi-Oh! we'll come to love.

Duel standby, indeed.

The second 3-in-1 of the Yu-Gi-Oh series. This manga once again barely has any actual card battles as you see in the show, it only has one that spans around 40 pages. If I read it correctly, the next 3-in-1 will start with Duelist Kingdom, which is the island where the first season of the anime takes place.

I don't mind the lack of card battles though. The manga so far is quite interesting and fun on its own without relying on the popularity of what Yu-Gi-Oh is known for. I like to see what happened before the anime, and this and the first book are basically 6 volumes of pure prequel goodness. Sure, there are some parts that are slower but they never really bothered me.

I like how Honda (Tristan in the anime) plays a bigger role this time around, wherein the first 3-in-1 he was more of a side character. He also has a pervy little kid that he was to watch out for while the Kaiba arc goes on. Once again, the manga is darker than the anime and you can see why it's is mostly for older teens and above while the anime is more for all ages.

Also, this book ends on a cliffhanger and I really want to see how the story unfolds. So I can't wait to read the next omnibus to see the end of that chapter, and the start of the actual Yu-Gi-Oh dueling arc.
