Okay, coming back to read this after finishing the entire series (yeah, I didn't read this until I'd finished the series, so sue me) and this is incredible! All the characters are IC, the story seems just like something the actual anime would have come up with, and the Ancient Egyptian stuff is awesome. I have an interest in Egyptian culture, though I'm no expert, and this just explained the whole Ba/Ka thing better than I've ever seen! I'm gonna go read the whole series again (with reviews this time) and hopefully understand it a bit better.
Now I’ve read some good YGO fanfics in my time. Many that continue on to show how events unfold after the show was ended. But so rarely do I find one that continues the actual story of the protagonists. On a level of epic I can’t even comprehend it. It starts off wonderfully with an excellent rendition and great insight into reincarnation, the Pharoah, and Yugi. I couldn’t quite follow some of it, but it made me think and wonder, and set the stage for more events to come. Frankly I can’t wait to read more of the Revival stories.
Okay, now MY head hurts! I'm reading the part where Tea is explaining her theory on The pharaoh practically being Yugi... something like that. I have to agree with Joey with this one! hahaha.
And awww, two years? That's really sad... :( (Well, how you put it an everything! :p )
Okay, yes, i kind of just found this story... And now i'm not as confused. :)
But daaaaazng, Tea, daaaaaaaaang! As i was reading one of the paragraphs that she was talking, in my mind, she barely took a breath! Wow! Great job on that. :)
TWO YEARS? Whoa! Now THAT's a line that'll hook you. Sad, in a way, since I love Joey and Tea (in here too) and don't mind Tristan being around (heh), but the story will surely make up for my sobbing over their absences. Best part of this chapter: 1) me finally learning what the hell the Ka/Ba thing actually means and 2) the freak-out about the train duel. _
:D YuugiTea! Yay! Tea's confession is completely on-key: it sounds exactly like her and how she'd feel about all this. Nice spots of Tristan and Joey in the beginning. Since this is just the prologue, I expect an epic fanfiction saga, so I'm hoping it will be good, and considering your other work and that I found you through LittleKuriboh, I bet it will be. (If I don't review you for a few weeks though, don't be mad - camp doesn't have computers.) Lovely segway between your story and the end of the series! :D
What happened? Two years before seeing them again? They were supposed to meet every year at tournament!
I like Tea's theory, it's a bit hard to understand but I agree with it. The other YGO writers should adopt this theory as well.
There's too much to go over in one review when I'm super eager to read the sequel. I have to say though, I wish Bakura was more involved with the group. As far as I know, these guys are his only friends so if he doesn't hang out with them, who does he spend time with? The poor guy needs companionship! He had so much potential in the anime/manga to be close with the gang.
That was amazing. I don't know what else to say. I love how you articulated Tea's love for Yugi. It's like she saw them as two different people but as one person all at the same time. That is very confusing to deal with, but she's right, Atem and Yugi are literally the other half of each other's soul. How could she not differentiate between the two? How could she not acknowledge the two as one being?
Still, I was expecting the usual "empty" feeling on Yugi's part. But thinking about it, this concept and yours both make sense. He could eel empty because he's missing his other half yet he could feel normal because his other half helped him become who he is now.
Great prologue, can't wait to read more! All those implications, I wonder what'll happen and how Yugi sorts that out *grins* I love paradoxes to and this gave me some great boost writing a backgroud-flashback-something-chapter for a story I am planning to post someday... much the same thing you do with your stories *wink*
Very well, I like your style, and this is what? three years ago so I'm more then happy to see what happened to the others. Read you then *hugs*
Wow. This sounds really good. You like, excel so much more than me, but, then again, I'm still a young teen. I can't wait to read the next part, and everything else up to the end of that next series whose name escapes me. Great job!
Well. DragonDancer1014 has been telling me that I should come read this "Revival" story, so here I am. And I have to say I'm intrigued. I've NEVER thought of Yuugi/Atemu's relation to each other in this way, and I've never seen anyone else who has either. Very interesting - and refreshing - take on the Millennium Puzzle. Even /if/ it's not canon, it's nice to see something different, you know?
Although (please allow me one small, nitpicky comment), you mention in Chapter Two that Kaiba is twenty. But if Yuugi and the others just graduated, they'd be eighteen, right? And Kaiba's the same age as Yuugi and Co. (At least in the manga - I'm not sure about the dub anime, and since that's what you're (mostly) working from, it's not so bad.)
DragonDancer was right when she said you were good. The theory you've placed into this three parter fic is very interesting, and slightly confusing. But I think I get it. Now I'm off to read part one. I loved this. Keep writing!
Ok... so firstly I'm liking this, I'm genuinly interested and wondering where it's going to go. I mean, I'm a bit concerned about what the 'plot' is going to be, but I'll only find that out when I begin to read so...
I think I get teh whole Ba and Ka thing now.
Ba is like a house and Ka is like the person living in it.
So there's this Ba, which has a Ka, but eventually the Ka moves out. And of course this effects the Ba, they leave the carpets in, the rugs, a picture or two, maybe even more. And then someone else moves into the Ba.
For example, Seth lived in the house, moved out, and Seto moved in. But of course Seth left a few things in, rementents of his personality, a bit of appearence, this and that... but not much.
But Yugi is different.
The Pharoah had his Ka, but when it was time for him to move out (i.e. die) he locked himself in the attick instead. Locked himself in the attick and threw away the key.
So people have been moving in and out of that house, but never have been in the attic. Part of it, (the pharoah's soul room) was always locked out.
Then Yugi comes in, the correct Ka in the Phaorah's old Ba, and he solves the Millenium puzze.
The Puzzle was never the prison for the Pharoah, it was the KEY to the Pharoah's prison!
Basically, Yugi let the pharoah out of the attic, and the pharoah wondered around, wondering why everything was so different, who had changed the curtians, and so forth.
Two Ka's living in the same Ba.
Eventually the ceremonial duel comes forth and it's like the Pharoah's Ka is finially aloud to leave the Ba entirely, so he moves out. But he leaves the door to his attic open, the entirely seperate space for Yugi just to walk into whenever he pleases.
Your story is quite good, as sticks to and adds onto the original plotline of the series. Can I be a bit nit-picky though? I think you have Rebecca's age wrong in this fic. On the false memories website, it lists Yugi and the others at age 15, and her at age 12.
So if the others are nearly 18 in this fic, then she should be at least 14 years old shouldn't she? Just a thought, other than that, this story is quite good, and I'll be reading the follow-ups as well. Later.
