Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Chapter 87 Discussion

                        ----------------------------------------

                        Kaiba's back to being his cruel self, which surprised Yugi since he thought Kaiba changed. Even Anzu came to Joey's defense and Bakura almost let's it slip about Joey's sister's eyes, but Joey yells at him.

Kaiba tells Yugi about a match he witnessed Pegasus take part of and how easy it was for him to win and that even Yugi is no match. Yugi isn't fazed tho and says he'll still take him out, but Kaiba is going to the castle first, so Yugi needs to catch up quickly. On to the next volume!

Well Kaiba doesn't have evil in his soul anymore, but he doesn't respect Jonouchi one bit as a duelist. Think of it this way, a nobody with crappy cards stands up to you and tells you he is hot shit only to get easily defeated. No wonder Kaiba thinks he is just a pushover. Even more so in the eyes of someone like Kaiba, who values results more than the means! Anzu still stepped up to defend Joey.



And oh boy, we get a first glimpse of Bandit Keith told to us by Kaiba! This guy is one the best secondary characters in this arc imo (aside from Mai ofc). And we actually get a proper introduction about his character here, we never really delved much into him in the anime, which was a shame. Also the way Pegasas humiliated him and turned their face off into a card game commercial was brutal. No wonder Keith wants to get back at him!



also lmao

I think the New York stadium that was referenced in this chapter was Madison Square Garden in NYC!



Regarding Kaiba, when Yugi asked him “did you change at all?” after he was in a coma resetting his mind; You can already see Kaiba having a change of heart just by making the attempt to rescue Mokuba from Pegasus, and trying to spare Yugi battling Pegasus at all. He could’ve just let Yugi suffer but Kaiba is choosing to get involved to save his company first. He may not be the nicest person but these small changes of heart is a huge step.



Also, did Bandit Keith just seriously insinuate that Pegasus was a pedophile 🥲

Anyway, Pegasus let that kid win the prize money which I think was pretty generous of him.
