| Thanks you for creating one of my childhood favs series. May he rest in peace. |
  |
| Just really depressing to see a creator who made my childhood with the show, manga, and these cards just suddenly gone. Goodness, I remember my cousins and I bonded so much not only from pokemon but Yu-gi-oh was a major series we loved. Rest easy Takahashi-san know that you made an impact in the world with Yu-gi-oh and I'm so keeping my cards for safe keeping too much fond memories I have with them. |
 |
| Thanks for making such a cool games. |
 |
| Sad news considering it seemed like an accident before his time. He and his work are legendary and his passing away is a huge loss to many like me who grew up with his work in our early childhoods. May he rest in peace. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| Ah, I heard about this when the news dropped here in Japan. It's really saddening to hear. The Yu Gi Oh anime and card game was a big part of my life growing up. I remember waking up early to watch it on a Saturday morning in the UK. Thank you, Takahashi for making my childhood brighter |
| Put your grasses on |
| I didn't follow what he was able to do but RIP. |
| So sad to hear this. Yugioh was my first anime, it's the anime that got me into anime 19 years ago. You could say he is the man responsible for my anime obsession. R.I.P. Legend. Time to re-watch Yugioh again! |
| Know YUGIOH through memes only. It's always sad to hear someone die, especially if it's due to accident. RiP |
| RIP. Truly a mangaka to remember and respect. |
 |
| I always wondered about the person whose name is written on every Yugioh card Creator of one of my all time time favs Rest in peace |
| Now Japanese political activists are spreading rumors that his death had something to do with the political scandals surrounding the Liberal Party. What the hell is even going on? |

Although, as it turns out, Japanese haters literally hate the manga industry are now sure that his death was an attempt to cover up some kind of "scandal". |
|
| Yu-Gi-Oh was my favorite over Digimon and Pokemon. You entertained a generation. Thank you. RIP. |
 |
| I love Yugioh and especially the characters. The world lost another great talent. Rest in peace. |
| Goodbye Kazuki Takahashi ... Your game and series have given me 20 years' worth of precious memories and joy. Thank you so much ... :'( |

| Goodbye, Kazuking-sensei... Yugi and Jonouchi friendship is wonderful. You now will be in safe hands with the Gravekeepers. |
| rest in peace Kazuki Takahashi. Gone but never forgotten. |
 |
| I know next to nothing about Yu-Gi-Oh other than catching a couple episodes on TeleToon when I was 6 and watching a few funny 4Kids dub clips but there's no denying the impact this man had on so many people ご冥福をお祈りします、高橋先生 |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| Absolutely devastating and heartbreaking. Made such a huge impact on my life & an incalculable loss to the industry. Rest in peace Kazuki Takahashi <3 <3 <3 |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| Just curious, have any notable mangaka or Japanese celebrities commented on his death or sent his family condolences? |
| May he rest in peace! |
 |
| I'm a bit late, but RIP. I've always maintained that he was one of the most underrated Jump artists. Yu-Gi-Oh! was filled with some pretty sick art and designs. I hope he knows that he leaves behind a huge legacy and franchise that shows no signs of slowing and that has inspired thousands. |

Yes, it's obviously unrelated, but I was trying to word it in a way that wouldn't trigger posts from certain negative elements of this site. Also at the time there were also a bunch of posts speculating about the conspiracies, that was more what I was responding to, maybe I didn't pick the best post to respond to. |

| Bruh, that was so unexpected, like wtf. Drowning is a horrible way to die. Putting that aside, I should finish GX already. |

Conspiracies were written by people who did not belong to the anime community at all. |

I do not see where I said they were, you seem to either easily misunderstand things or are trying to start an argument where there is none. Either way I am not responding to any more of your responses. I don't quite understand who exactly is trying to start an argument here, given your sudden rude response, but ok. |

| RIP Kazuki Takahashi - Sensei, thanks for all |
  Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing Don't use the scores to see an anime ええい！ なんでも やって やる |

According to the NHK, a person reported to the Japan Coast Guard at around 10:30 in July 6 that a body was floating 300 meters from the coast of Nago city, Okinawa prefecture. The Coast Guard found Takahashi with snorkeling gear. The Coast Guard and police are investigating the incident at the moment. Army officer recognized for rescuing three people from riptide that killed ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’ creator By MATTHEW M. BURKE STARS AND STRIPES • October 11, 2022 TORII STATION, Okinawa – A U.S. Army officer was recognized for rescuing three people from a riptide at a popular Okinawa dive spot in an episode that apparently killed a well-known Japanese manga artist. Maj. Robert Bourgeau, 49, of Missoula, Mont., the deputy operations officer for the 10th Support Group at Torii Station in Yomitan, was nominated by his command last month for the Soldier’s Medal for his actions during the July 4 rescue at Mermaid’s Grotto in Onna. The medal recognizes acts of heroism not involving actual conflict with an enemy. Kazuki Takahashi, 60, the creator of the popular Japanese manga series “Yu-Gi-Oh!,” attempted to aid Bourgeau in the rescue, unbeknownst to the American, and drowned in the process, a pained Bourgeau told Stars and Stripes on Oct. 3. . . . Bourgeau jumped into the rip current and sped out to the girl, but was quickly exhausted as he worked to bring her toward the shallows, he said. Then he encountered her mother who had somehow been sucked into the swirling waters as well. “I grabbed mom and I grabbed [the girl] and I just kicked for all life,” Bourgeau said. At some point during the rescue, Takahashi entered the water, Bourgeau said. He said he didn't see the Japanese icon during the ordeal. Bourgeau's students caught glimpses of him until he disappeared beneath the waves. "He's a hero," Bourgeau said of Takahashi. "He died trying to save someone else." |

| RIP. I know this is from last year but I didn't see this until now. Thank you for making my childhood awesome. Between Pokemon and Yugioh, I had so much fun. |
 |
| Honestly, I still find it hard to believe. He was a huge part of my childhood. Yu-Gi-Oh! was my comfort. May you rest in peace, sensei. |
