The definitive original

What with all the confusion from differences between the japanese and english dubbed versions and the 2 entirely separate series released in japan it's great that you can finally own the great Yu-Gi-Oh! story in it's original format intended by the author. If you're still assuming Yu-Gi-Oh! is an annoying kids show don't be so sure. This original manga is uncut with violence, peril, and back story left out of the english television show. This volume finishes Yugi's face off against Ryuji Otogi (called Duke Devlin in the american TV show) in Dungeon Dice Monsters including a certain fire escape scene you probably thought happened somewhere else. Then it starts right off into the Battle City arc as Kaiba acquires one of the 3 Egyptian God cards and an evil mastermind plots to kill Yugi. Also the identity of Yugi's mysterious alter personality is revealed!!

Great summer reading motivation

As the mother of 3 sons ages 8,11,15 and with only the youngest and the oldest reading maniacs, I am always searching for things my 11 yr. old will read. I stumbled upon the Yu-Gi-Oh!:Duelist series by accident. As my son already loved the show and had a Yu-Gi-Oh deck, I decided to give the books a chance. They have been wonderful. Number 10 was our most recent purchase and my son is set on reading through the entire series. He will sit and read now for over an hour if I let him. He also shares them with his younger brother and he enjoys them too. There are other series in addition to the Duelist in the Yu-Gi-Oh book line so I have plenty of reading material available that I'm sure that my son will read. I always make it a point to read what my children read and I find them to be an enjoyable read although the stories may vary slightly from the television episodes.

Absolutely the best!

This was wonderful! The story came in exactly the way the T.V. show did (with a few changes) and the pictures were great! I was afraid that it would look like a kids story book (the display picture was lousy) but it was just like the rest.

Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist #6 (YGO 13)

I currently own this comic book in French, and quite frankly, it's one of the best mangas of the duelist kingdom saga next to "Duelist #8"/YGO #15. There are many differences in the book that were quote on quote too "shocking" for television. On the contrary, I would have to say... more 'violent.' For instance, when Keith goes into Jounouchi/Joey's room to steal his glory of the king's hand card, Yuugi catches him in the act, although, he is too tired to distinguish the difference between Keith and Jou--pretty sad, eh? However, in about five seconds flat, he wakes up and realizes that Keith is up to no good, and Keith slams poor Yuugi into the wall, and continues to beat him up. To put your minds at ease, however, Jou eventually comes to the rescue. Keith still winds up with Jounouchi's card, though. The manga continues up from Yuugi's defeat from Kaiba, all the way up to the time where Kujaku Mai/Mai Valentine plays her Mirror Wall card in the finals. This means, this manga contains the entire battle between Pegasus and Kaiba, as well as the dinner table scene where they find out their opponents (which also contains some comic humor from Pegasus not seen in the anime). However, the Anzu/Tea, Honda/Tristan, Ryou/Bakura and Pegasus scene NEVER took place in the original manga. Nevertheless, you "do" get hints of Cecelia/Cyndia anyway. However, don't think that means Honda is completely neglected. He and Bakura go off to find Mokuba and actually get themselves into a decent amount of trouble. I would recommend this book to any manga lover. (You will certainly get a kick out of it!) ^^
