s0e09 "Explosion - The Ultimate Yo-Yo Technique" Are your kids getting dangerously into yo-yos? Recognize the signs! We've been excited about watching this Yugioh episode for a while now, and I think it mostly lived up to our hopes. Also this week, some yo-yo fun facts and we discuss the implications of various anime hair colors. NOTES: - around 40 minutes in, an image is referred to. this is the...

s0e08 - The Four Game Masters Finally Appear All the way from England, it's the first of the Four Game Masters! You know, the ones you've totally all been waiting for???

s0e07 The Underhanded Digital Pet Rebellion Today we welcomed our first guest host, our friend Petunio, to discuss... a truly wild piece of Yugioh. The animators had the choice to do a typical Yugioh episode that was inspired by the Tamagotchi craze and instead they swerved hard into some very strange places! NOTES: - Our guest was @UnclePetunio whom you can also hear on the @RollOutPodcast ! - Ma...

s0e06 "Desperate Situation - Burning Friendship Battle!" This week's Yugioh episode is a direct sequel to last week, where our friend Shadi returns for a rematch...

s0e03 "Theft! Rare Watch Battle" This week, Yugioh taught me that you're not a real watch fan unless you wear 10 watches at once and beat people up for them in an arcade. In this episode we also spend way too long talking about geek themed shoes and learn some fun facts about Jonouchi's season 0 voice actor. NOTES: - Game of Thrones sneakers / Fantastic Four sneakers / Yugioh sneakers - That Volto...

s0e03 "Clash! - The Strongest Monster" Guess who's here! It's our favorite rich jerk, Seto Kaiba, in his smallest & greenest form... and he brought with him not only the game, but also many of the themes, that will later come to define the Yugioh franchise. For now, though, he's just kind of a brat? In this episode we also talk about the real-world origins of collectible card games, get very g...

s0e02 "Devil Gamer - The Trap of Hell" Hey, have you heard about that new fast food restaurant, Burger World? I heard the food is delicious, but that someone got held hostage by an escaped convict (who may or may not be a teenager's Sonic OC)! In this episode, we also chat a bit about manga censorship and anime opening/ending themes. NOTES: - correction: the main character of Rose of Versailles is...
