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.

End of the Fourth Era

Well, the final episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime aired in Japan today. I have to admit, ZEXAL was not my favorite series in the franchise. I mean it seemed like they recycled to many things from the previous shows. Plus the hero of ZEXAL was kind of dense. But there were somethings that I liked about ZEXAL. For one thing, Xyz monsters known as the Numbers were an interesting plot device. And I liked the main villains of the second half of the series, the Seven Barain Emperors. All in all though, to me ZEXAL was just not as good as its predecessors.

Anyway, when one era ends another begins. Soon the Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V anime will be starting up in Japan. And with it is going to come some fairly interesting changes to the card game. Let's just hope that Arc-V ends up being a better series that ZEXAL was.

Top 10 Duel Queens

One of the sad flaws of the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise is that its male characters end up taking the center stage most of the time. And the chances of any future Yu-Gi-Oh series having a girl as the lead protagonist are about as likely as the sun spontan...
