Here’s something dumb that I was working on while procrastinating homework! Sorry it isn’t perfect, you can hear some gaps and weird rhythm in a few places.
The Kaiba hacking sound used in this actually came from a song from the movie “Gone in 60 Seconds”. Its pretty cool that it uses the same sound!
Hope you enjoy this silly thing, and have an AWESOME day!!
ygoverse online conspiracy theorist making giant incomprehensible jpeg charts like “Gozaburo Kaiba ‘falls’ out a ‘window’ in an after hours meeting where only his inner circle and his son were present, entire company now belongs to Seto Kaiba and almost immediately pivots to Duel Monsters. A year later, Maximillian Pegasus, the creator of Duel Monsters, is found murdered on his private island shortly after a tournament where numerous bizarre incidents were reported. And what’s seen leaving the island? That’s right, a KC helicopter, even though Seto Kaiba was not a recorded participant in the tournament. What was he doing there? The truth is in the Battle City footage. Why are there so many finalists with no competitive DM history? And why are so many of them wearing the same golden eye symbol? It all goes back to the freemasons, if you compare Yugi Muto’s pendant to the eye of providence you’ll see that–”
Early manga: Shadi is a mortal human man. He’s alive. He rides airplanes. His family has guarded the tombs of pharaohs for generations. He’s motivated by things like petty revenge, intellectual curiosity, and a desire to protect Egyptian artifacts.
First half of Memory World: Shadi is a member of the Tombkeeper Clan. His side of the family got into a fight with the Ishtar side, and they each took some of the Millennium Items in the divorce. He’s motivated by the same duty the Ishtars were raised with: to help the Nameless Pharaoh regain his memories. Every fucked up thing he’s done (giving Pegasus the eye, lying to Malik, trying to kill Yugi’s friends, etc) was presumably part of a game of memory-restoring 4D chess.
Second half of Memory World: Shadi was never human. He’s a shapeshifting supernatural being that serves as Zorc’s equal-and-opposite counterpart. He’s also maybe the human incarnation of that tablet with the Millennium Item-shaped indents in it? Bobasa and Hasan were both him, shapeshifted. His motivation is to stop Zorc. Everything he’s done was presumably part of a game of anti-Zorc 4D chess.
DM anime: Shadi is a ghost. We mostly know this because of an anime-added scene where he saves Honda and Otogi from falling and then vanishes, and they’re like “was that a…g-g-ghost?” We don’t know when he died, or who he used to be. He isn’t Bobasa, the anti-Zorc, or Hasan (but he does briefly pilot Hasan’s Memory World RPG avatar, mostly as a convoluted way for the anime to adapt his death scene. Yes, he dies despite being a ghost). We never really get a motivation for why he did anything.
Capsule Monsters: Shadi has been a ghost for thousands of years. He’s been fucking with people the whole time (including Alexander the Great). Motivation: the lulz?
DSOD: Shadi used to be a mortal human man, up to about 5 or 6 years before the start of the series. He somehow got on his hands on the Secret Eighth Millennium Item. He trained a bunch of children to use it to make a utopia dimension. Then Zorkura killed him. After that, he was a ghost. His motivation was…4D chess for the utopia dimension? Which didn’t actually work?

Me: am I being too weird by completely overhauling Shari’s backstory?
*looks at canon*
Me: No, I am a beacon of sanity and plot cohesion.
