I love this chapter. The differences in Seto from canon are really starting to shine through in the plot; even though having a plot means Anubis is probably just gonna pull a combination Weevil/psy-ops, it's still a helluva change for Seto to reject the card outright. And Anubis will have his work cut out for him now that Seto saw the card suspiciously magically dissolve and thus be on notice. He's really going to have to push the Dartz angle isn't he.
Dad!Pegasus is my second-favourite Yugioh character after Blue Angel. Partly because redemption/making up for his sins, partly because he's entertaining, partly because he's benevolent enough to be helpful while still having interests to look out for.
Sam came from Sora, right? I think I remember that, as well as me commenting that she gave major Hatori Chise vibes, and certainly one of you said that her first words to Pegasus were "Cecilia says she loves you very much, and she'll kill you if you try anything like Duelist Kingdom again."
NOT SETO BEING AN ANIME SUPREMACIST 🤣
I'm not sure Seto actually thinks the Toon Harpie programming detail is overdone if he's that keyed into the details of it. And God (not one of the story ones, big-G God) help him if he ever meets Pendulum summoning, try 3 monsters at once 🤣 (of course he'd immediately adopt it and make Lord of D. a Pendulum)
I know Edo is cameo'ing, but it's still a little early to foreshadow Zane, don'tcha think (the perfected duelist talk)?
As much as I like Pegasus please stop reminding me he's so young, I can't take the mental damage any longer 😭 (though I now appreciate he was probably meant as a deliberate mirror of sorts to Seto as well as for Yugi vis a vis misuse of a Millennium Item)
Oh my God Seto you did not actually use "Blue-EyesWhiteDragon1234" as a password. There's no way Mokuba, ir frankly anyone with common sense, would ever allow it. At least use 5 numbers!
More Blue-Eyes users yes finally Kiyoko can wreck shop (just not Kame Game)! Also major flashbacks to TDDUP.
Why did I immediately think of Carrie when Seto said "several other issues I’ve researched across the globe"? It's literally just that letter inserted at the back of the book that tickled my mind, and I haven't even read Carrie past Wikipedia summaries of the book/adaptations!
I’m not spoiling how the future will go, but I’m really hoping you’re going to love how I’ve done it.
Pegasus is ALWAYS fun to write. I’m really happy he chose to do an Emperor’s New Groove entrance in Kismet.
Nope, Sam is my Wife’s NPC. She was invented by my wife. However I’ve discussed things with Sora and you in the YGO server. Those WERE her first words to Pegasus, since she can see ghosts XD
Seto wanted to annoy Pegasus and that was the best way XD
He’s actually pleased with how his people are ensuring everything is different enough to be interesting and he really really would run with a new summoning method.
The perfected duelist talk is meant to reference the perfected duelist talk in YGO R, but it does apply to Zane more than I realized. Thank you for the reference.
It’s not 1234, but the numbers weren’t too hard to crack with the right code breaker.
Pegasus will need to do more convincing before Seto will let him release those cards in Ennead, but it was fun to reference something from TDDUP.
Carrie and many other magical issues globally. There’s been magic in the world forever, after all.
