[QUOTE="Scorch, post: 1767966, member: 1502"] Yeah I can confirm that. I started reading the comic when Shonen Jump started up here in America. I recommend glancing through the first collected volume of the comic at your local book/comic store. The story was more about Yugi acquiring the Millenium Puzzle and getting possessed by his alternate personality who comes out during times of trouble to challenge villains to a bizarre puzzle game. The fun part of the comic was seeing the creator's love of puzzle games being incorporated in the plot. The current story line is about Yugi battling for his friends' souls in an RPG versus a Dungeon Master right out of Chick's worst fever dreams. The TV series suffers from the same editing that two of Shonen Jump's other shows suffer from when they come over here to America. One Piece and Shaman King are also awesome comics (and funny as heck) if you go into them with the right mind set but it looks like Fox Box is editting the heck out of them. Last Saturday's "premiere" episode of One Piece is actually more like episode 3 from the original Japanese series. Shaman King at least still is showing the story in the right order and the original TV show was already greatly editted from the original comic. In the comic, Faust VIII actually vivisects on of the characters while in the TV show he vaguely menaces him. Scorch [/QUOTE]
