abuseUsually it's 'five things that never happened,' so it's interesting to see five that did - or could have, anyway, and they slide into canon so nicely. Though I disagree some with the first; anime!Mokuba's not the hideous little toad he was in the early manga, but he's hardly 'normal', either, what with hacking computers and running game tournaments and such at the tender age of eleven. But I did like hearing what the hey happened to Ushio, am very curious myself about what became of Yami's first victims. And Seto spying on his own people, heh, how Kaiba of him.

Poor Otogi (forgive me, I can't use the dub names), who can't disbelieve magic because he's Seen Too Much. And Bakura guarding his vessel's dreams, nice imagery there, with the darkness and the moon's switch in the tree and the slow way it becomes clear what's going on. In the shadow realm as well, tangible creepiness and a maternal Dark Necrofear, and love the final punchline of that last one. Hey, the 'goats are one of my favorite cards!
