| And soo gay,it really screwed up the anime. |
| I really enjoyed this anime overall so I dont agree with the person above me. |
| I felt a lot of chills during the duel lol. What a great way to end this series. Well, after so many years, I finally finished it all. Feels good :) |
 |
| Liked the episode a lot. It was a good way to end the series. |
     |
| Yeah, it was a very intense duel, especially for the kids.. Although there is some contradiction with rules and effects that I know.. ( and so many coincidental of course as always ).. but it's still okay.. 8,5/10 ( I am confused if to give it 8 or 9 ) |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| So this is the end... Like Tristan said, it feels strange. I guess it's a good ending, a happy end. The duel was amazing and intense and it feels right to see Atem go. Overall I really enjoyed this series. I thought it would be boring to see it as a grown up, but that wasn't the case. Even the filler-arcs were very good. Some of the duels from the filler were better than some of the main story imo. I have to say the "Dawn of the duel" arc was my least favorite. It was interesting to get so much information about Atem's past, but this arc was very dragged. Still not bad. I guess I'll give this a 8/10 because of the good ending. At first I wanted to give it a 7, but nah :D I'll miss this series and I hope the other seasons don't suck. I heard they aren't as good, but who knows... |
| The ending was great. That was certainly the best duel of the series, was so intense and emotional I really enjoyed watch this anime again, and I will definitely miss it. Now it's time to watch the GX, I hope it's as good as this one. |
| Was a good ending to a good duel they had. I loved the show way more as a child, and was more intrigued by the card system. From the start I couldnt stand Yugi's VA (Japanese), but he improved himself over the course of the show. 7/10 Finished the show in 12 days. If not for the fact that 4Kids dubbed it (changing plotlines, changing cards, tending more to the younger audience) I would've watched it English dubbed. |

| They probably should have done dawn of the duel and the duel ceremony straight after battle city. That was the peak of this show. |
Sol_Ou said: They probably should have done dawn of the duel and the duel ceremony straight after battle city. That was the peak of this show. ^This. Battle City was the most amazing arc ever. But then they had to add a filler arc >_> |
 |
| I've just rewatched parts of the show (in german which was adapted from the US version), and also watched it in japanese. The 4kids version is def totally screwing up the show. The original is darker and def not for kids. That being said, it was nostalgic and enjoyable ride. The ending was indeed sad, but it is a fitting conclusion to the show. There was some speculation of whether Yugi is a reincarnation of the Pharaoh, which wouldn't be possible bc Yami is obviously the soul that was sealed away and you can't reincarnate without a soul. Someone explained it in a YT video: In ancient egypt, however, it is believed that the soul is not one but consist of five parts. So Yugi could be a reincarnation of ONE part of the Pharaoh's soul, while Yami is another part that was sealed away when Atem died. The weakest arc (aside from the one in the virtual world with Noah) is the Doma arc, I thought that back then and still don't like it very much upon rewatching it. |
 |
| I just wish Atem hadn't left. I wanted him to stay with Yugi and the others. |
 |
| It was a ending I was not prepared for. It all ended so quick. But god damn, it was heartbreaking. It was a long journey and sometimes some duels have been quiet boring. But overall, especially the very last fight and the last arc in total, it was moren than such a children-series for myself. I'm sad the Anime is over now, but I am looking forward to the new movie. Atem, you havnt only changed the lifes of your friends - Yuugi, Joey, Anzuand, Honda and Seto - but also mine for having some overwhelming feelings during the last few episodes. 8/10 |
| My only regret is having regrets! |
| In the manga, Yami no Yugi reassured Yugi and friends that he wouldn't forget them when he left. |
| |
| This was intense It I have felt it right in my heart (◞‸◟) I watched most of the episode since 2003 but never had a chance too watch the last episode and thanks God I didn't see a spoiler after 13 years finally I finished it this was the saddest ep of Yugioh |
| I'm a little late to the party here, but I'm sure there's someone like me out there who is watching or re-watching the series (right?) and I've got to say that was an emotional rollercoaster and I have to speak about it. At first I just started it because I felt nostalgic about YuGiOh. As a kid I never watched past the first arc so a lot of this was new to me. Honestly speaking I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did being 22. That last arc was amazing. It had its pacing issues, but I still loved it. The Atem vs. Yugi duel was intense and the ending had me in tears. I'm going to read the manga really soon, just because I want to see the differences (but mainly because I need more Atem). Finally, although the card effects were majorly altered and made me scratch my head, I still loved the show overall. Initially I thought I'd give it a 7 at best, but I was proven wrong. 8/10. |
| Finished this anime a bit late,but it was great. |

| The remake of Berserk is a mistake. |
| Liked the way how Yugi won this duel. He finally overcame Atem or rather said, his other self. It's a happy ending, but the farewell fucking hit in the feels for real. I guess this is also the case due to some strong nostaltic feelings. Yu-gi-oh! was one of my very first anime after all. All the arcs were really entertaining, in particular the dawn of the duel arc. While still not quite my favorite, it was way better than I remembered it to be and Yami Bakura or Zorc got to show what he was made off. The finale duel w The little credits epilogue was nice too, but seeing Mai and Vivien together dueling against the Paradox brothers was so random xD All in all, very good watch. Next is rewatching GX. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The biggest monsters are the ones in our hearts and Yugi conquered them, finally reclaiming his crown; found his courage. The ghost of everything he wanted to be is no longer in his shadow. He knows how to be happy again and to face things alone, but he's never really alone because no one is. I’m not crying, you are. Not even my nostalgia goggles could have prepared me for this. Like others, this is my re-watch, though I didn’t stick with just sub or dub. Watching them together was actually so much fun. There’s some things I prefer in dub (comedy, dialogue, banter between Kaiba & Joey), but for the most part, like when it comes to emotions (especially this final season), sub has more impact. My heart is so so full. Really didn’t expect to find such clever writing through an adult perspective. It’s obvious a lot of heart went into it. I’m a sucker for storytelling with a focus on identity, and it’s amazing how that theme was never lost using card games. I heard from someone that they call this Takahashi’s 18th Dynasty fanfiction, so with that in mind, I only wish I knew more about Egyptian mythology to further appreciate all the nooks and crannies inside his big galaxy brain. "Living image of the Aten" aka King Tut aka our Atem? Beautiful. Some of the character explorations are also in the details, so it's a goldmine for anyone that likes to think about meta. Everything about this final duel was poetry. Sealing Monster Reborn as a reflection of Atem belonging to the afterlife hit me hard. There’s never a focus on drama, but if there was, the beautiful tragedy we witnessed in 224 episodes would have left me more in shambles. If I were to change anything, Ryou having more screen time and addressing how he feels about his dark counterpart is the main thing I crave. It's not like Dark!Bakura or Zorc needed a redemption arc either, especially since he's the biggest bad, but since everyone else had forgiveness/sympathy thrown their way, I feel like there was probably more to be said about how he felt wronged by the pharaoh. I’ve missed feeling intensely about characters, and YGO has some of the best. Just look at those loveable villains. Excited to be moving onto the manga and GX for the first time. |
| That was a good duel for an amazing show. 7/10 Love this series. |
| Watch aria the animation and it's sequel. |
| Man I knew I'd cry I wished they could have stayed together without the fact Atem would have been locked 5000 years. This duel was so intense I liked this arc a lot it was a good way to finish this serie. |
 |
| And that is that! Good duel! So this would be my 11th re-watch. And like I've said before, no matter how many times I watch the anime, or read the manga, or play the card game, I am truly touched by the characters' friendship. The part where Atem was going to the afterlife, and Honda, Jonouchi and Anzu called to him really got to me. They're all like with tears in their eyes, "We'll never forget you! You'll always be with us!" Damn, that's the type of friendship and impact on people anyone would want. It's nice to see most of the other characters like Mai, Rebecca, Shizuka, Haga, Ryuzaki, etc. in the credits. "When you're living your life, someone else is living theirs" as my brother would say. It's always nice watching this anime, idk when I'll re-watch it again, but I'll look forward to it when I get around to it! |
| Awesome stuff. Had some very rough moments with most of the filler arcs in particular and the insertion of a villain like Zorc very late on but Duelist Kingdom, Battle City Finals, Virtual World and the Final duel between Yugi and Atem really stood out for me as great to excellent. 8/10 |
| Best Anime series I watch 11/10 |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| As nostalgic as this episode makes me, I always hated how it ended so anti-climactically with everyone just starting up at the sky in the end. To make matters worse, the dub totally screwed viewers over by cutting out the special ending credits and the post-credit scene that gave some characters a bit more closure. |
| Fantastic duel. Ofc it was Resurrection of the Dead, the most prioritized spell in the series. It's incredible that it was what Yugi predicted --- It started inconsistent and honestly boring, but as the show progresses it gets more interesting and exciting especially Battle City arc Loved this show. I don't even know myself why exactly. Was it because of the story? the card game? the characters? the hype? or... everything?(classic line lol) Seriously, if I hadn't already known how to play the card game or watched its 3 spin-offs, I would have definitely dropped this show in the first place Anyway, although this show was amazing, and lovable, its flaws and inconsistencies also worth consideration and I gotta be unbiased with my score—so I give it a 7/10 |
| Well with this Mutou Yugi is now the Duel King....he'll carry the burden of catering Seto with his duel sessions... |
| I liked the ending....wouldn't want some ending like "Atem will always be inside Yugi".... |
| That was a nice duel and it made me sad to see Atem move on to the afterlife. I wanted to give this series a higher rating, but most of the last arc was a drag to watch. 7/10 |
| Rewatched again , still crying as always and RIP Kazuki Takahashi |
