Trans flag icons, except they’re color-picked from my favorite YuGiOh girls (Characters shown from top to bottom are Rio Kastle from YuGiOh ZEXAL, Zuzu Boyle from YuGiOh Arc-V, and Blue Maiden from YuGiOh VRAINS).
Why did I do this? Because yeah.
This was inspired by @shinigamichan! Have a nice day everyone; See you all later! 👋😄
EDIT: In case anyone is curious - The blue, white and pink stripes are all the same thickness! I just added two tones for both blue and pink for more variety 👍
My name is Malik Kamal Hilles, a 24-year-old student at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. My family of 10 has been displaced multiple times, and our home reduced to rubble. Now, we’re struggling to survive in Rafah, surrounded by the chaos of war.
For years, Gaza has been under siege, but since October 7, the suffering has reached unimaginable levels. Constant bombings, destruction, and fear have left us with nothing but the hope to escape. To cross into Egypt, we need $5,000 per person. It’s a price we can’t afford alone, but with your help, we can find safety, stability, and a future free from violence.
Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us closer to that reality. If you can't donate, sharing our plea could change our lives. Thank you for giving us a chance at hope.
One time, when we were kids, my friend and I were playing the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, and I was whooping his ass, and he had accepted that he was going to lose, but decided to go out with a bang, so right before he drew, he shouted “I put my faith in the heart of the cards!” and wound up drawing the one card in his deck that would completely derail my strategy and he actually won that duel and that’s why I don’t laugh at these things anymore.
Traditional yugioh stuff
Nice avatar, thanks for posing for a screen shot, I think were in hell.

To answer one of your points; The ZEXAL person investigating KaibaCorp’s existence was Trey, in his own event! He was even asking Quattro “Hey what the actual hell is this” 😆😆😆
Also, the VRAINS characters themselves seem to be the real deal, given that from their perspective Duel Links is a deeper extension/alternate part of VRAINS that according to Blue Angel in her own event “Was not created by Sol Technologies”.
In Spectre’s event they even investigate how Duel Links can recreate entire events based on how people memorize it (For example, the threat to VRAINS’ existence from the Hanoi Tower or even the Lost Incident, which is absolutely insane!!!), which also explains how A.) The ZEXAL World is repeating events from the anime (Probably Don Thousand and the scattered Numbers somehow interfering with everyone’s memories again) and B.) Revived characters returning to their original viewpoints from before dying/recovering their memories (Examples: Yuto and Aporia’s revivals in their own events).
EDIT 1: Most characters themselves being AI can be corroborated by the fact that some have lines for both anime/manga cards, implying they’re a composite of the original character! (Example: Duel Links’ Jack is a composite AI version of the original 5Ds Jack, given he has lines for both his anime/manga 5Ds and ARC-V counterpart cards).
EDIT 2: Point A can also be proven by Jim’s event, in which he explains to Syrus and Hassleberry that Duels within Duel Links leave behind digital data similar to fossils which when unearthed can reveal memories (forgotten or not) and repeat them in real time (Again, we see this happen in Spectre’s event) (This would also explain how the ZEXAL cast remember more and more memories the longer they stay in Duel Links and duel there).
Duel Links lore is ABSOLUTELY INSANE once you start paying attention to it, and it would be hard if not impossible to keep up with all of it if it weren’t for the community and YugiTubers sharing some screenshots (shoutout to Veiz and YuDL!!!).
This is why regardless of metas or gachas I will always advocate for Duel Links to have a long lifespan. We needed something like this!!!
I'm sorry but WHAT is happening in Duel Links??
*CRACKS KNUCKLES* ALRIGHT im certain other people could explain this better than I could (bark at me if any of this is wrong,) but, an attempt at a quick rough tl;dr of it:
so like. an important thing to note with DL is that like..... the in-universe explanation for Duel Links is that it's one of Seto Kaiba's new VR Next Evolution of Dueling Ego Projects, which like, ok sure, he Makes Those, but what's a little alarming with this one is that technically (almost) none of the characters In The Game are actually Those Characters Specifically, they're AI recreations of them with their original self's memories (that's already a lot, right out the gate.) (I say "almost" everyone because I think it's implied DSOD Kaiba and maybe Mokuba actually Are them because it's Their Game and they're always product testing it, there might be others though)
anyway another thing with this situation is that, uh, Most Characters in Duel Links Do Not Know They're AI. They just assume they're the original guy, that's just them! Hanging out in this cool new Duel VR! But then sometimes you DO get characters who actively are aware that they're just code in a video game (Yami Bakura and Bruno 5D's both comment on it), so you have this really interesting ecosystem of duelists who Are aware they don't really exist, and duelists who are None the Wiser. absolutely batshit.
and sure this is all well and fine with like, DM and maybe GX characters, ok sure it makes sense Kaiba would be recreating notable duelists of that era, but i cannot stress enough He Is Also Making AI Recreations of Dead People. DL very much takes place post-manga, post-DSOD. But Yami Yugi is There. Yami Bakura and Yami Marik are Very There. Manga Pegasus is there. Seto "I Will Never Learn to Come to Terms With Grief" Kaiba is actively raising the dead in his little VR card game simulator so they can live forever and there's a 50/50 chance they'll be FULLY AWARE that they died. JESUS.
There's also the hulking elephant in the room of Duel Links Has Been Including Characters From Series Kaiba Has Nothing to Do With For Quite Some Time Now--and a lot of those characters are like HEY. WHERE THE FUCK ARE WE. like I SWEAR someone from either Zexal or Arv-V was actively like "hi what the hell is KaibaCorp" so like...Kaiba's branding is ALL OVER THE VR WORLD EVEN IN THE WORLDS HE DIDNT EXIST IN. It's painting this absolute off the rails picture of Seto Kaiba trying to create this virtual multiverse of The Best Duelists From Every Timeline Living or Dead, and half the guys he's pulling in at this point are like *spawns into a perfect recreation of their hometown with no real idea of who did this* "what in the goddamn."
like guys from zexal/arc-v are actively IN GAME like trying to figure out why this VR world exists and who created it. It's absolutely wild and fascinating to watch. excited to see what happens when they add VRAINS world next month?!?!? idk anything about VRAINS really but it's probably going to make the DL lore even more bananas.
ANYWAY. ALL OF THAT SAID. NOW WE HAVE MAXIMILLION PEGASUS DROPPING IN-GAME OMINOUS SENTIMENTS it's kind of a culmination of all of the aforementioned shit. Duel Links Pegasus (an AI recreation of manga!Pegasus, who is fully aware A.) that's he's dead and B.) that there's multiple worlds and timelines crammed into this Virtual Reality) has a conversation with Paradox (an AI recreation of Paradox the Bonds Beyond Time Yugioh Movie Bad Guy, who, for all intents and purposes, fully believes he's the real dude and he wants to kill-die-explode-murder Pegasus SO BAD) breaking down that "hey, this place unites different histories, and if you kill me duel monsters won't cease to exist. Anyway, I'm not real! Ohoho! This world holds threads of tragedy, Paradox-boy!" <-- (not verbatim. but i wish it was.) Meanwhile Paradox is having a sputtering breakdown right next to him. This is a video game to play yugioh the trading card game.
like. it's just absolutely wild. konami could have just said "hey heres yugioh characters from every series. whatever" but no instead they threw in a bunch of mild psychological horror and inter-series friction and existentialism and it's a freemium video game that i have 600+ hours on on steam. yugioh duel links !

Hello 👋
Please take a moment to read my story.
I am Heba Al-Dahdouh. I currently live in the completely destroyed city of Gaza. Since the war on Gaza began on 7/1/2024, my family- my father Nasif, my mother Asmaa, and my siblings Khaled, Ahmad, Muhammad, and Malak-have been living in constant fear, crying, and suffering due to shrapnel, shells, and bullets.
We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no homes, no cleaning supplies, and no clothes. Our house was completely destroyed. My school has been bombed, and my brother Khaled's university is now rubble, depriving us all of education. The war has forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents unsuitable for living, especially in winter.
Every day we live death, terror, and panic a thousand times because of the ongoing bombardment of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the start of the war, we sought refuge at my aunt's house, but it too became rubble. Imagine: we have survived imminent death more than 20 times and have been displaced among shelters more than 13 times. My siblings and I have suffered from many illnesses due to malnutrition, and we need medication continuously.
If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza for a safe place. However, travel costs are extremely high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. Due to exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, lack of security, the ongoing siege, and relentless bombardment, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant shelling and shrapnel flying above us? Dear compassionate friends around the world,
With your generous donations, even if small, you can save 7 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope.
With my warmest regards from the city of Gaza,
Heba Al-Dahdouh.
