A "duelist" is someone who plays the card game "Duel Monsters". One day, a hapless kid wanders into a card store and buys a pack of "Duel Monsters" cards, after being taunted by some older kids, who told him he's too young to understand the game. His first pack of cards contains the Legendary Rare Card Red Eyes Black Dragon. The problem is, this card doesn't bring him victory, it brings him the potential to win. He needs to find the card to bring him victory, but first he must find the courage to duel.

Fun little side story with a nice "believe in yourself" message, but not much depth.

A nice bonus for the original Yuu Gi Ou fans. I personally adore the season, but the movie is okay at best. It could have been longer and given more impact on viewers, but it felt more like an extra episode, which left out many crucial elements.

Still, a decent watch~

Art & Animation

Art and animation are most likely the same as in the original season, although I have to note that the design of cards is much better in the movie. All in all, pretty good!

Sound

The soundtrack isn't as exciting, thrilling and dark as it is in the series, but taking into consideration that this movie is way too short (almost like 1 episode), and the plot/events aren't really developed, I guess there would be no point on working on special soundtrack for this movie. It was okay, I guess.

Voice acting was of same quality as in the original season, really good.

Songs are the same as in the original season, and I really like them. However, just as much as I would like a "movie with proper plot and duration", I would also like at least 1 of the 2 theme songs of the movie to be a new song, not featured in the original season.

Story

In the review of the original season I wrote that there isn't any great story, but instead a mysterious, intriguing dark/ancient setting present in all episodes, combined with tactics, interesting games holding great stakes, violence and punishment.

Honestly, this movie doesn't rely on the mysterious part at all, and there are no special games, "just" the Duel Monsters game, which already took place in the main season. I will admit that the final fight was semi-decent, but it didn't amuse me much. There is no real tension, and I would almost say that there is no story at all. This movie doesn't even rely too much on the bonds of the main characters, instead the focus is on a new, movie-only character.

Characters

Aside from Jounouchi, Yuugi and Shougo (the boy), characters weren't really set (or tested) in a sufficient way. Of course, friendship and belief in oneself and friends is present in the movie, but it gives a distant feeling, especially because it involves a new character, who is given too little time (the movie duration) to develop significantly or give an impact to viewers.

Value

I think most of the value of this movie lies in the fact that the Duel Monsters cards' design got really good enhancement compared to the original season, although it is still no match for the design present in Duel Monsters season onwards. I feel nothing special after watching this movie, it had so little to do with main elements present in the original season. It was more like an inserted filler or something. Although, it's not too bad, considering the fact that we still get 1 nice duel.

Enjoyment

It was nice seeing another of the very early Yuu Gi Ou works, which I had never seen before. The movie was okay to watch in a way, but it was too short, and felt like a filler. It didn't give any significant impact to me, and it didn't have the dark, mysterious touch found in the main series. It's not long, so it's not really a waste of time. It's actually an okay watch for Yuu Gi Ou fans.

· actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting.
· · calling your attacksIf you can do something more impressive than just throw a punch, your attack(s) must have an equally impressive name. More than that, you have to call it out as you launch the attack. It doesn`t matter if it`s a martial arts move, a magical spell or your secret superweapon, if you can`t say its name, it just isn`t nearly as cool or effective. weightless
· tropesA trope is a commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motifs or clichés in creative works.
· · mundane made awesomeBy adding exaggerated expressions and gestures, excessive intonation, lighting, slow motion, griping orchestral music, or ominous Latin chanting, everyday mundane events can be made awesome! weightless

abilitiesAbilities are skills or competences that have applicability in some sort of activity.

card games (5)A card game is any game using playing cards as the primary device with which the game is played, be they traditional or game-specific.clever (2)A clever or smart person is generally understood as having broad knowledge and the sharpness of mind required to put that knowledge to good use, especially when applying rational thought to long-reaching decisions, with the broad knowledge leaning more on the smart side and the sharp mind on the clever side. Unlike a genius, the clever person may be skilled, but only mundanely so, and in contrast to a cunning person, a clever person is not characterized by being sly or apt at surreptitiousness.playing games (1)no description set

clothingClothing is fiber and textile material worn on the body.

miniskirt (1)A miniskirt, sometimes hyphenated as mini-skirt, is a skirt with a hemline well above the knees, shorter than the wearer`s arm.school uniform (1)A type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety.skirt (1)A skirt is a tube- or cone-shaped piece of clothing that hangs from the waist and covers the legs partially or fully. Skirts are often seen as garments for women, but exceptions exist. In anime, they`re almost always worn by women, generally as school uniform or workplace garments, and a man with one will likely be cross-dressing. Skirts that go below the knee are usually associated with strict rules and at times with winter, though even in winter anime schoolgirls in miniskirts can be found.

entityno description set

human (2)Modern humans are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina. Together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, they are part of the family Hominidae. Terrestrial animals, humans are characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other animals; and highly advanced and organized societies.

fashion accessoriesno description set

choker (3)A choker is a necklace, narrow strip of cloth, ribbon, or other object that fits very closely around the neck. It is not to be confused with a collar, which, for humans and other human-like entities, is generally a collar-like accessory serving a restraint, identification, and/or display of submissiveness usage. Please see the description of the collar tag for more information on the distinction. Please also see this tag`s full description for other information on how to use it.

fetish appealsno description set

large breasts (1)Large breasts are breasts a fair notch larger than average, as found in some real life adolescent girls or fully grown women. They are bigger than medium breasts and smaller than huge breasts. Note: This tag has many anime/character entries that need to be moved to the new medium and huge breasts tags. Please add the appropriate tag and remove this one from the corresponding anime/character afterwards.

looksThe looks are a person`s physical appearance. They are commonly used to describe people. Specific parts of one`s looks are most often referred to when especially pleasing or attractive, and sometimes also when particularly jarring.

blue eyes (2)This character has blue-colored eyes.brown eyes (1)The character has brown eyes.brown hair (3)The character has brown hair.exposed midriff (1)In fashion, midriff is a term for the human abdomen. The midriff is exposed when wearing a crop top or some forms of swimwear.fair skin (1)Fair skin is a naturally occurring range of skin colour that is lighter than the average for humans, but not light enough to be considered white. Ethnically speaking, a reasonable real life metric for fair skin is the skin colour of people normally said to be "white".green eyes (1)The character has green eyes.multicoloured hair (1)Multicoloured hair is hair with more than one colour in its main portions. Do not use this tag if only hair streaks or the hair tips are differently coloured; apply the appropriate hair streak colour tag in those cases.pompadour (1)The pompadour is a hairstyle that has hair swept upwards from the face and worn high over the forehead.purple eyes (2)This character`s eyes are colored somewhere between red and blue.purple hair (2)This character`s hair is colored somewhere between red and blue.short (1)Describes a person with below average height.short hair (1)Short hair is hair from (but not including) bald, up to (but not including) shoulder-length hair. This hair length is what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length.shoulder-length hair (1)Shoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair.spiked hair (1)The hair is styled up into spikes.tareme (1)Tareme is a style of drawing eyes where they droop or sag, resulting in a weak, gentle look. Typically, a moe character will have those definitive, sympathy-magnet puppy-dog eyes. A character with tareme is usually considered gentle, kind, or soft. The opposite is tsurime.tsurime (1)Tsurime is a style of drawing eyes where the outward edges of the eyes are pointed up, resulting in a strong, piercing look. A character with tsurime is usually considered strong-willed, arrogant, or proud. It is generally an attribute of tsunderes, kuuderes, and particularly badass action girls. The opposite is tareme.yellow hair (1)The character has yellow hair. This does not map precisely to real-life blond hair.yellow hair highlights (2)no description set

nationalityPlease refer to guidance on the Wiki on adding nationality tags (see link in tag description).

butt monkey (1)The character who is always the butt of the demeaning joke or the "put him through hell" plotline. For whatever reason, the Butt Monkey seems to walk through life with a permanent "Kick Me" sign attached to their backs, invisible to them, but all too visible to the rest of the world. Nothing ever goes right for this character, and if something bad is going to happen to someone, chances are it`s going to happen to them. Long story short, it sucks to be the Butt Monkey. --tvtropesking (1)This character rules a kingdom. Normally, kings are men, and their female counterparts are called queens, but in anime there is at least one known female king. Real-life kings of the past usually held absolute power, but as the time went on more and more kings had to be subjected to control from an external body, in the form of constitutional monarchies. In modern real-life kingdoms, it is very common for the king to be restricted to the role of a popular and political leader who no longer has any ruler powers. Kingship is usually inherited, and rules vary from place to place, but the most common is: preference goes to the direct descendants (e.g. sons are privileged in comparison with nephews), normally by the eldest relative in a given line, and in most monarchies a male will displace a female, often even in more preferred lines (e.g. a nephew would displace an older niece and often also an elder daughter, but not a younger son).student (2)A student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. The may be understood to mean only those enrolled in some sort of educational institution, but, in its widest use, it applies to anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university, or younger researchers or artists learning from a more experienced colleague and mentor.

traitsTraits are characteristics, habits, or trends that can be associated to and may be used to identify individuals.

Vegeta complex (1)“Let me just say that I’m not your friend. I don`t like you. We just happen to be fighting the same fight.” Named after Vegeta from DBZ.adolescent (2)An adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old.antisocial personality disorder (1)Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is described as characterized by a pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood/early adolescence". They have an "impoverished moral sense or conscience" and may have a "history of crime, legal problems, impulsive and aggressive behaviour."arrogant (1)Having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one`s own importance or abilities.brave (1)This character shows little or no fear in face of danger, perhaps even jumping onto the danger when he or she believes the time comes.competent (1)Does his\her job well.enigmatic (1)An enigmatic person is someone with a mysterious personality that is difficult to grasp and/or defies description.good luck (1)A character so mind-bogglingly lucky that it defies all chance. They`ll win every contest or lottery they enter (in especially extreme cases, they don`t even need to, the winning ticket will somehow come to them).idealist (1)This is a character who represents things as they might be or should be rather than as they are.introvert (1)Introverts are people whose energy tends to expand through reflection and dwindle during interaction. They tend to be more reserved and less outspoken in groups. Introverts generally enjoy time spent alone or with close friends, and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people.

Some of the typical solitary activities are reading, writing, using computers, hiking and fishing. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, engineer, composer, and inventor are all considered highly introverted.

Not to be confused as being shy - introverts prefer solitary activities over social ones, where as shy people (who may be extraverts at heart) avoid social encounters out of fear. Like extroversion, introversion is not a black and white measurement, and these people may share some of the same traits than extroverts.kind (1)Having or showing a friendly, generous, and considerate nature.loyal (3)Character remains firm in friendship or support for a person or thing.multiple personality disorder (1)Multiple personality disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a condition in which a single person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities (known as alter egos or alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.pacifist (1)A person with this trait despises war and violence.selfish (1)Selfishness is the condition of holding one`s own self-interest as the chief or sole influence and standard in decision-making and lacking concern for the well-being of others. Those characterized by selfishness are said to be selfish.serious (1)Someone is said to be serious when they exercise at least moderately above-average seriousness, which is an attitude of gravity, solemnity, persistence, and earnestness toward something considered to be of importance. The sense of seriousness can be contrasted with the sense of humour.short-tempered (1)This character has a short temper, meaning he or she can get angry quickly.tsundere (1)A character type (usually female), who is often easily agitated or combative, but other times is quite kind and caring, especially in situations involving a person they are (knowingly or unknowingly) attracted towards.young adult (1)Someone is generally considered a young adult if they are between 20 to 40 years old.
