Welcome to the Puzzle Room, a world for fans of all things Yu-Gi-Oh!

This is a world where I’ll be posting various things about the Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise. But unlike my previous Yu-Gi-Oh themed worlds, this world is going to include more than just posts about the card game. Because as I realized not long ago, what makes a Yu-Gi-Oh series isn’t just the card game, it’s its cast of characters. So in addition to posts about the card game, I’ll also talk about some of the characters in each series, perhaps favorite episode from the anime, and probably much more.

About Me

I’ve been a fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise since almost the beginning. I wasn’t really into it at first, but after I had seen more of the original anime and got my first Starter Deck it became a favorite series of mine. Though I don’t think I really got into Yu-Gi-Oh! until I read the very first volume of the original manga. Since that time I’ve stuck with the franchise all the way through 5D’s. And in that time I got my hands on all of the original manga series and amassed a large collection of cards. Plus I’ve built several decks over the years.

Guest Posters

Sort of like with Pokemon, my interest in Yu-Gi-Oh wanes every now and then. So to keep this world from dying like my last two Yu-Gi-Oh themed worlds, I’ve decided to open this world up to guest posters, thus allowing other Yu-Gi-Oh fans here on TheO to post things here. So like me you could post things about your favorite Yu-Gi-Oh characters or episodes, or talk about the card game. But there are many other options too.

  • If you are a player of the card game and are currently working on your deck, you can post a log to document the deck’s creation. This could be a good way to get tips on how to make the deck better or simply just show off your victories.
  • If you have any Yu-Gi-Oh fanfics you want to share here on TheO, this world could be a good place to post them. Or you could simply post the profiles of any Yu-Gi-Oh OCs you might have.
  • Maybe you have some big Yu-Gi-Oh related art project you want to share (like a drawing or a wallpaper). You could use this world to chronicle its creation.

You could do all that and much, much more. As long as it has to do with Yu-Gi-Oh, the sky’s the limit. So if you’re interested in becoming a guest poster, or maybe just have a few questions, please contact me via comment or PM and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

The New Red Dragon

Hello Yu-Gi-Oh! fans. I don't how many of you reading have heard, but a new version of Red Dragon Archfiend has been revealed as the cover card of the new Dimension of Chaos booster set coming out in Japan next month. Click the link below to take a look.

Red Dragon Archfiend Scar-right

This version of Red Dragon Archfiend appears to be the ace card of the version of Jack Atlas in Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V. It also seems that Jack and Yuya are going to have a duel in episode 64 of the anime. That should make up for the current story arc where Yuya and his friends are in jail (sorry for the little spoiler just now). Anyway, just thought some of you reading might like to know about this.

Memory of the Question

When I rebooted this world for the third time, I started the Card Tales and Mysteries post series in an attempt to make this world more than just a repository of card game tips like it’s original incarnation was. Sadly this series of posts ...

Know Your Lovecraft Deities

Hello everyone. This isn't really a Yu-Gi-Oh-related post, but I thought I'd share it here because it's related to a previous post I've done. Some of you reading may recall the post I did about the Entity monsters based on the deities of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. In fact it might be a recent memory since I updated the post this past Sunday to change some card names and fix some links. Well this afternoon I decided to make a little checklist for myself to keep track of what deities were already made into Entity cards and what cards have yet to be made. The list ended up taking a couple of hours to make because there are A LOT of deities in this mythos. To check out this massive pantheon, check out the link to the Wikipedia page below.

Chances are that not all of these deities will be made into real cards. Actually there's an Elder Entity monster that only just came out in Korea that's not based on any of the Elder Gods on the Wikipedia list. I'll be talking about said Elder Entity in a later post, but as far as I can tell the card is based on an Elder God that only exists in a Cthulhu Mythos RPG of some kind. Anyway, there seems to be a high potential for a lot of cards in the three Entity archetypes. Of course they'll all probably be released than a hundred slide PowerPoint presentation since they've only been releasing one Entity monster in a set.

Lovecraftian Cards

There’s one funny thing about booster set releases that’s happened over the past few years. Whenever Konami releases a new booster set in the U.S., they add twenty extra cards to that set. Ten of the cards are promotional cards that ...

Reshef the Golden God

Sometime last year when I reinvented this world for a third time, I had started a little series of posts that explored some of the hidden mysteries and stories behind some of the cards in the Yu-Gi-Oh card game. But I ended up letting the series ...
