Kurakusun - Sin Título

i really need the Mai cut of Battle City. like she shows up thinking she's in for a normal card tournament but seto kaiba apparently saw duelist kingdom as the bare minimum amount of drama and danger that a card tournament needed, because he is the most dramatic man on earth. also apparently he's been fighting visions of a past life or something and desires to control god. that yuugi kid is being targeted by.... violent gangsters? or something?? over the card games?? and OH, he's also possessed by a magic ghost. who plays card games. Mai keeps looking at Jounouchi for support but no, that dude's been on board for the magic card game ghost since day one. then she gets to the finals and the other contestants are, somehow, yet another magic card game playing ghost possessing a teenager, and three members of a three thousand year old cult who are ALSO magic and involved in the most convoluted family drama of all time, which they are going to play out during a fucking CARD GAME. one of them might have been the guy trying to murder yuugi and has... mind control? his sister can see the future and refuses to watch any of the games because she knows what will happen, what. Mai is like, whatever, it's a card game bitch and i'm good at it, but then there's a fucking card that requires knowledge of an ancient language to play and then she goes into a coma. what the FUCK

Zoro's whole first-meeting ordeal might have left a different first-impression with Sanji

Goten: your favorite what? Disaster?

Trunks: yeah!

Goten: natural disaster? Because this is all natural~

Trunks: omg

Goten: nothing synthetic about this 😎

Zuko: And finally, allow me to introduce the Avatar, Aang.

Aang: Ambassador Aang.

Zuko: Ambassador of what? You’re the only member of your nation.

Aang: And whose great-grandpa’s fault is that?

Zuko: Touche, ambassador.

Aang: I changed my mind now I’m King Aang.

Zuko: What.

Aang: King of the Air Nomad.

Zuko: That doesn’t even make any- whatever. Let’s just proceed with the meeting.

immediately had to drop everything to draw this in a fugue of utter delight. I'm SO glad that 1) at least one character does, in fact, sleep in full-on Scrooge cosplay, complete with the little pompom on his hat, and 2) of course it's Rook. of course it is.
