The 20th anniversary is either here or gone by the time this is out. All I can say is… years well spent! Other than Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh! was my favorite anime I have ever seen and it makes me happy on how big the fandom was and is depending on who you ask. I may not be a fan of GX, 5Ds, Zexal, or Arch-V but seeing this show last this long while others are forgotten or begging to end brings me a smile on my face. To think this started back in 1997 manga-wise, or 1998 or 2000 anime-wise and yes I'm adding Season 0. So, for this fanfic, that doesn't involve Sailor Moon, I'm basing this solely on the anime and before you ask I'll be including the 3 or 4 movies and Capsule Monsters. If you want manga only then wait for the next story with a new OC and new themed deck. Til then enjoy. And to think this all started with weird videotape that arrived at my house when I was 8 years old. No return address or anything but I still have that tape to this day and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I'll do another document on the duel monsters cards. As of right now, my OC does have a deck but you won't read about it until Duelist Kingdom to the end.

Title: Make your Own Paradise

Yugioh media: Anime (sorry but it's going to be 4kids but I'll make sure it has it's deleted scenes.)

Name: Sofia Zamora

Age: 16

Looks: Profile picture

Talents: Play guitar and write stories

Crush: Yami/Atem and OC

Secrets: She has a photographic memory. She knows every manga and everyone episode of Yugioh but not GX, 5Ds, Zexal, or Arc-V. Why not those? Cause she doesn't like those series. She thinks GX is a semi-fail spinoff and should stick to the manga since the American version was never finished, 5D's had potential but wasted it and again was never finished, Zexal is a rip-off of the original but with computers, and Arc-V is a great replacement for Zexal but lost it chance to impress her but might have a chance with the newer generation. She always carries her electric guitar with her since Mr. Tanaka gave it to her. Somehow it won't break, leave scuff marks, or dent and even if it does she can always repair it with ease. Her guitar pick is a white pearl color that is rounded triangle 1.26 gauge and has a red rose on it and on the back it says in gold 'Make your own paradise'. It's also a choker that is detachable so she can play it and won't loose it. She can also sings but loves guitar much more.

How long in coma: In world: 2 years (Season: 0= Yugi's 15, Season: 1-5= Yugi's 16-17) In reality: roughly half a year
