Season 1 Episode 13. The one where Bakura traps them in a shadow game? That one was always fun. REALLY liked Tristan in that episode as a kid and wasn't sure why.
As someone who has realized they're gay? I now get why.
Funny story but I was watching a 'Live Duel' of Kaiba vs Yugi a few years back on YouTube. Was at some world tournament or whatever. They had the voice actors from the US come and do the duel. They were reading a script and acting it out on a very minor scale. Then there were two dudes behind who had decks and were drawing the cards/playing them as it was said by the voice actor.
The moment that I realized that the voice actor for lil Yugi and for the Pharoah was the same person was during this duel. At the start when Kaiba challenges him, he does the whole transformation thing. The "Yugiohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" transformation music plays and the voice actor just slowly turns on the fucking spot. Like this adorable little awkward spin. Then opens his mouth and it's the Pharoah. Man... I nearly knocked the fucking table over with how hard I was laughing. I had NO IDEA! Also, voice actor for Yugi be cute as fuck.
I found it! Here it is. I linked to the timestamp but if it doesn't work, jump to 2:03
Isn't that the one where Joey ends up sent into a kind of purgatory and chased by the manifestation of death?
That was probably originally Hell, wasn't it? They loved sending people straight to Hell in that series. Yami has no chill. You jaywalked? Children's card game, going to Hell.

Yep.
That was probably originally Hell, wasn’t it?
Originally? They just straight up killed you. But for some bizarre reason, 4kids in the US went "Kids can't deal with death! Let's instead make a realm where they go! Yeah! A realm they don't want to be but that way they don't die! Forever!"
4Kids straight up invented a version of hell because they were too terrified of just saying "People gon die."

For me it was Dark Magician Girl just reinforcing my straightness.
Same, but nice to know the fanservice was equal opportunity.
I mean... Yami is pretty fuckin hot. That voice.
