I remember watching this series when I was 12-13 and laughing at the sex jokes and whatnot, but now rewatching it during quarantine I realize just how much effort this must’ve taken and how well it was written, all while LK was getting constantly screwed over by copyright stuff. I’m also remembering where all these sayings that come to mind constantly actually originated from. This series is a masterpiece.
Another teen here, I always come back to this video and the naruto abridged movie just to reminisce, and not only does it bring me a great source of nostalgic joy, it also makes me still laugh over and over again
It’s so true though. When you are young, you don’t understand how much time it must’ve taken him to do it. I’m even new to the Abridged Series, and I think it’s amazing!
Watched the whole thing in 2015, and it's still just as fun as it was back then. As an unironic fan of Yugioh and YugiohTAS, I can only say, thanks Martin, and I hope you get better soon.
It REALLY is. Like Little Kuriboh is A LEGEND of RU-vid and rarely gets the attention he deserves. This series was my late childhood. God bless him. 🙏🏽❤
"Now I will use Mega Ultra Chicken's secret ability I just this second made up." That is pretty much how the ever expanding list of Ra's abilities felt in the actual show as well.
Did you know that Ra has an ability called "instant attack" which allows it to attack immidiately after it was summoned from the graveyard? Yep pretty speciffic but hey
sirensbane17 Melvin is far more evil than Florence. Florence just wants to assemble all 7 Millennium Items and use their vaguely established powers to destroy the world. MELVIN, on the other hand, works for 4Kidz and already had TeamFourStar cancelled, and now he wants Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series cancelled too.
I love how Florence and Marik understands they're f*cked so they decide to go out on their own terms. Singing 'stand by me' with Florence "dododo do" ing.
He gets contracted for more screen time and gets constantly screwed over by literally everything, and now he's back in season 5 so he can finally get the screen time he was see- _F I L L E R A R C_
Okay but Melvin'd was the beginning of the "Cancelled Series" arch, which marked such an up in quality and creativity. The whole story of it is practically rewritten to vent Billlany's frustration with the constant copyright issues more than ever, but never made it feel intrusive. It was such a seamless shift and fit in with the show so well. He recognized the out of place filler arch and rather than cut it to the bare minimum or out completely he chose to make the out of place feel make logical sense in the series and revamp it to such a high quality. Even if the show consistently improves over time, I'd say the Cancelled Series is and confident that it always will be my favorite arch of the series. Such a great job done by such a talented man who will probably never get enough credit for his craft and what he contributed to internet culture. Which is further becoming just pop culture and culture with each passing day.
And not to mentiom that he outlived his main rivals in TeamFourStar since DBZA was ended, as well as 4kids themselves which is the biggest flex of all time. LittleKuriboh is a living legend in Internet history.
I know, but I feel that we haven't yet reached a degree of intimacy sufficient for calling him by his first name. Not until after marriage, at the very least ! ^_^ But now that he has admitted that he cares, we are one step closer ! It would need to be either an open marriage or a polygamous one, though... otherwise half the female population will start a murderous rampage ^_^' Besides, how could a monogamous marriage even be a possible when one of the spouses is actually two people sharing a body ? It would be much better to not even bother. That way, you wouldn't have to choose between Ryo Bakura and Florence Bakura : get one, and you also get the other as a bonus ! Sweet sweet sweet deal :') (Though I admit that, if I had to choose, then it would definitely be Florence / Yami Bakura... Especially the abridged one ! Oh sexy voice... :D)
By the way... does the dub even mention his first name at all ? (Ryo/Ryou I mean, not Florence) Or does it just call him Bakura ? I always watch sub, so I don't know. But each time I have watched a dubbed clip, I have been stricken by the inconsistency in how the characters are addressed. Last name for Kaiba (except by his brother), last name for Bakura, but first name for Marik and the "heroes".
I just realized something When Melvin is fighting with Florence Florence and Marik sing Stand By Me Florence + The Machine recently did a cover of Stand By Me *Little Kuriboh can see the future*
Hmm Little Kuriboh might have seen the future or maybe Florence + The Machine are Little Kuriboh fans and got inspired to do the cover from this episode. I think either is pretty likely.
Noah:”Krump just how are penguins deadly?” Krump: “Take a look see, send them in!” Three screens opened up showing Gunter, the penguins of Madagascar, and king dedede. Noah: “.....fair enough.”
"Tell my fan girls I love them" I love how this is a call back to episode 12 where Bakura says the exact same line. This series introduced me to abridges and I still love it the most. Long live YGOTAS!
Bakura "Sometimes I Wonder which Marik i Despise more..." Evil Marik "HUG?!" Bakura "NO HUG!" Marik (Ghost Voice) "Yuuuuugiiii... YOU SHOULD TOTALLY HUG HIM!!!!!" SO MUCH HUGS! XD
In the English Dub Marik says you'll spend eternity in the shadow realm Bakura responds with, "I am the darkness" with that evil smile of his before he vanishes
I think Marik was the only manga villain to actually send people to the Shadow Realm instead of killing them. Except he described it as "sacrificing them to the darkness." It's implied to be worse than dying, unless you're already part of the darkness, like Bakura.
@@niserresin2006 I get that but it a interesting concept Also it just a funny image Bakura “well bonkers am back.” The darkness “What did you lose for the third time to that super ancient pharaoh” Bakura “shut it “
I freaking died when Bakaura started singing "bum bum" I was like "STAND BY ME!!!" Do I have a problem if there deaths made me feel really sad😂 Still a better love story than Twilight.
Delaney Ford The best part about this is that neither of them died. And Bakura kinda survived like a boss inside yami's puzzle - without being detected - 'til he finally became the main villain in the last season. Talk about major achievements unlocked.
I know right? Such voices as High pitched British kid High pitched British kid High pitched British kid High pitched British kid High pitched British kid High pitched British kid High pitched British kid with a voice modulator
Go look up his performance of Yvan's Monologue. It's just him on camera performing a scene from a semi-famous French play using almost all the main character voices (Ryou didn't make it in for some reason).
To be more accurate, only Yami Yugi says. Regular Yugi just says “mouhitori no boku” which is translated as just simply other me (by men, based on the form of I used).
I loved Bakura in the last season. His voice was a lot better to in the English dub in the last season. I just hate the whole "I can reverse time 3 times shit".
The celtic guardian wouldn't help against an egyptian god, but the OBNOXIOUS celtic guardian's special effect makes it so he can't be destroyed by battle with a monster with over 1900 ATK. And to destroy a monster with Mega Ultra Chicken's effect costs 1000 LP.................. Actually had this happen to me in Duel Links, but with Slifer.
"How would a bloody Celtic Guardian defeat an egyptian god?!" ..Well, yugi has a version of the Celtic Guardian called "Obnoxious Celtic Guard", and it can't be destroyed by anything with 1900 or more attack. It wouldn't defeat mega ultra chicken though.
"If the sky that we look upon should stumble and fall And the mountain should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand by me. And Bakura, Bakura.. Stand by me.." Normally I'm against yaoi stories but I cannot deny, this video showed that Bakura and Marik deserve each other. Feel the lyrics and you would understand.
A show that can get me to feel for the characters is like a dog that speaks: Very rare. A show that gets me to feel for the characters in its abridged spinoff is like a dog that speaks fluent Norwegian: Even rarer!
Yeah I get that ya know I'm a straight dude and I'm usually impartial to annoyed with the hole fan fic type shit but I hole heartily fuck with florence an marik
correction: god cards cannot be *targeted* by spells, traps, and effects. *these* cards dont "target" anything. so you see, the almighty god cards arent gods at all. they are just regular monsters.
That Pyramid card from the Movie can. I think it took out all 3 at once. I might be wrong, I haven't seen it in such a long time and had no idea who anyone was when I watched it.....
Hassan Raza not really, but 5Ds got cancelled after 136 episodes of the dub due to low ratings. They just edited it to add the 1st half of episode 137 and ended the show with Yusei saying it’s over.
what was actually the difference between celtic guardian and obnoxious celtic guardian in the anime? They had same atk points and both had no special abilities. What's the point?
Bakura: what could i possibly use, to defeat an egyptian god card ? Marik: the celtic Guardian Bakura: I dont have the "BLOODY" celtic guardian, how the "BLOODY" hell am i suppose to use a "BLOODY" card i dont "BLOODY" have ? and even if i "BLOODY" have it, how would it work against the "BLOODY" egyptian god ? Marik: bcos the fate of the world depends on it "IBO" bakura: what the "BLOODY" hell does "IBO" mean ? Marik: I think its japanese for "Gay" omg, this is def my favorite episode Lolz
kitaki zeinko you start to wonder why bakura thinks he can win after the god cards get introduced, cause after they get introduced every major character in the original series uses them to pubstomp bakura into submission...
Ok... first lines on this episode, and I'm already rolling on the floor laughing. -"You can't win, Melvin! If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!" - "BULLCRAP!"
+jamal munir ooor they tried to be symbollic with Marik spirit being dragged to "hellish flames" RA courtesy, also wasn't a spirit for that detail to work XD
Two of my favorite moments in the abridged series happen in this one episode. If it wasn't for the castlevania reference in episode 30, this would be my favorite episode.
LT Gen Klink ***** Brian Sanders It's not 4kids, it's stupid RU-vid bots who think they're real episodes. 4kids has emailed LK asking him to tell people it's not them blocking him, which he does at a lot of his panels, because they used to get lots of complaint letters about it. It's RU-vid's shitty automated system, not 4kids saying "Fuck you LittleKuriboh!" They honestly have stopped caring by now.
