This is a watch along of the Yu-Gi-Oh! show, I will be doing every single episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Like this. Make sure to subscribe to the channel If you want to watch more of these, click this link: • Overanalyzing Yu-Gi-Oh!
- Only three copies are allowed in a deck, therefore the fourth blue-eyes was useless. - The cards in the show weren’t allowed to look like their real world counterparts for the English dub hence the redesign. - Players could summon monsters without tributing in the first series. - I think the rules at the time were that only one monster could attack per turn (Dark Door rules). Players always had to defend but we never saw any direct attacks occur in the first series.
@@whaddup691 We never saw any direct attacks in DK but you always had to defend against your opponent’s monster so think it was implied you could or if not then it might have just been an automatic game loss if you couldn’t like when Kaiba lost to Pegasus.
0:10 The reason the design of the cards was changed is because of American advertisement laws. Having the cards look just like they do in real life would cause the show to be labeled a commercial for the cards instead of a legitimate show. So to get around this 4kids had to redesign how the cards looked.
There is something ironic about the first season absolutely trampling all over the rules, and then they follow 1 rule. No more than 3 of the same card in your deck. The rule is critical to the plot and they don't even explain it.
You should watch the sub version. It's so much better. Kaiba explains that it was the hologram projector that proved too much for the old man (a hologram projector that kaiba used to cause Solomon to have a heart attack in the manga). Also, in the sub, Joey placed 8th in regionals and has topped at locals quite a bit within the 6 months Kaiba's been absent.
At this time in the story, there weren't many rules as Takahashi simply wanted a game to be like Magic the Gathering and it got more popular than what he originally had in mind for the series.
Only 3 copies of any one card can be run in the same deck. Now I'm sure that wouldn't matter at all THIS SEASON if they wanted to do that and it probably would have influenced the game's rules to being 4 max copies if they wanted to do that, or well, Yugi having a blue eyes after winning it back(which there's already a video on that what if), but I do think Kaiba pulling the power move of "There's only 4 of these. Now I've torn this one, so my 3 are more valuable" is pretty strong rich boi prince vibes. I'm sure post mind-crushed Kaiba would have put it in a vault and it got stolen and actually used against him.... writing.
Well that certainly wasn't overanalyzing (which is the name you lifted from the avatar guy who does get into a lot of detail), barely analyzing. Script felt completely lifted off of the 'everything wrong with yugioh season 1' guy with the addition of complaining about the rules which to be fair with them were very different. Not great.
