All right, guys! How are you all? Good? Good! I hope you are!

Okay, for one, I realize that this is not a story.

I just wanted to do a sort of author's note thing in here and I wanted to prove a point. The next chapter will be a story, I promise, but for now, it's a ROMP session.

For those who don't know, ROMP, to me, means "Ranting On Minor Problems".

Anyway, first off...

Happy Memorial Day, everyone! Today is supposed to be a good and fun day and everyone should be enjoying it to the fullest! I hope you all are doing that as you should be!

Anyway, on with my rant.

The reason for this rant is just because I was in a mood to bitch about something today on the Memorial Day of 2010 and it was just so easy to bitch about how obvious the puzzleshipping is in Yu-Gi-Oh!

It's implied all the fucking time!

Anyway, on with the story. So, yesterday, I decided to watch Yu-Gi-Oh!, the series, again just for the Hell of it. I was in need of some serious inspiration for my fan fics, and I was about to watch a few episodes and see what came to me. I can usually get some good ideas by watching the show and seeing what happens between Yami and Yugi.

It was around this time that I truly noticed just how much puzzleshipping is implied in the whole freakin' show!

Just for the Hell of it, I decided to watch a few clips of the English VS the Japanese version.

Personally, the Japanese audio and version is the best, just because it is the original, but the English isn't so bad. But don't get me wrong, the original always beats the dub.

Anyway, when I clicked on a clip from the Japanese version of the final scene of episode 52, I believe it was, I was amazed at how much puzzle-shipping is implied in that damn show! It was shocking! Just the dialogue between the two! It was so freakin' amazing! I watched with my mouth wide and my eyes even wider!

It was awesome!

Okay, you can watch the clip on youtube or somethin', but I am going to recap some of it, okay, ready? Anyway, this is what the subs said, not me, so the English might be a bit broken.

All right! Listen to this!

Yugi: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned it. Let's change the subject.

Yami: There's one thing I know for sure. And that's as long as you have the Sennen Puzzle, I will be here.

Yugi: Enough...

Yami: So, I will-

Yugi: Say no more!

[Yugi gets up off his bed and looks at Yami, holding the Puzzle. Yami looks over, and Yugi looks like he's going to start crying any moment. Yami stares in shock and then smiles slightly at him.]

Yami: I want to be with you always, even if I don't get my memory back.

Yugi: Me too... Forever.

Okay! Please, people! If that's not a fucking confession, then I don't know what the fuck is! Yami is so obviously in love with Yugi! It bothers him that he doesn't remember his past, but he's willing to never find out if it means that he will get to stay by Yugi's side!

DUDE! HE'S FUCKING IN LOVE WITH HIM!

And, if that weren't enough proof for ya, think of season 4. Yugi and Yami were so close, and Yugi felt so hurt when Yami went all bad-ass evil for those few episodes.

And then Yami, poor Yami, was so fucking heartbroken when Yugi was taken! He wouldn't talk to anyone for a while, he wouldn't do anything but think of Yugi and think of how badly he screwed up! He even punched a wall because he was so upset and blamed himself for it!

And then, to make things more obvious, when Yami was dueling Haga, did you see how fucking pissed he got when Haga tore the card that he said would bring Yugi back in half? Of course, it was not real, it was a lie, but did you see Yami's face! He fucking LOST it! And then he like mauls Haga in a duel and then shakes the shit outta him!

If it were anyone else taken away, Yami would never act like this. He'd be mad, but he'd never shake the shit outta a soulless body and scream at them. I mean, for like two minutes, all Yami did was shake Haga and yell, "Where is my partner!" over and over again, demanding to know where his aibou was!

But, then again, some of this may not be convincing to those who are doubters of the pairing. Not that I have any issue, but I just see them as being in love!

They obviously have no issues invading each other's personal space. Here are some examples...

1. Episode 38. When Yugi "died" in the Shadow Realm, Yami was holding him in his arms. Plus the whole, "You'll pay for this, Pegasus" thing was his way of saying, "You fucking hurt my aibou! I'm going to fucking gut you!"

2. Episode 52. The scene above before all of this ranting on examples starts. Watch it to find out. They were kinda holding hands, though they were not technically. Just watch it.

3. Can't remember the episode. It's after 101, when Anzu was dueling the Nightmare Penguin thingy. Yugi was ricocheted back by a magical door and Yami was instantly by his side holding him up.

4. Episode 163. If Yugi weren't a spirit at the time, Yami would have hugged him. He reached out to, but went through him. Had he been able to touch Yugi, he would have hugged him.

5. Episode 163 again! When Yugi collapsed after the duel, Yami was right at his side, holding him in his arms. That was probably the episode that proved that they love each other!

6. Episode 184! When Yami collapsed after defeating Dartz and turning him good again, Yugi was right there holding him by the shoulders and asking if he was all right.

7. My final example. Episode 184 again. When Yugi and Yami went back to their world, they walked into the portal with their arms laced around one another.

Now, if that ain't love, people, then I do not know what is! They are so obviously in love that they would risk their lives for one another, and they would do anything to be together!

The next chapter in this Collection will be a story, I just needed a way to bitch and see if people feel the same way as I do about the puzzleshipping implied in the TV show!

PUZZLESHIPPING 4 EVER!
