I watched yugioh as a kid on tv. It was part of the story that the rich sephiroth guy was clearly p2w. Very hot take: Anybody who goes out of their way to follow metas in games is a tool.
I mean, the rich Sephiroth in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime was literally the “inventor” of the game, so that’s why he did some P2W whenever he played, as he had access to basically any card he desired, including unreleased ones afaik, and yeah, he’s also super rich, you’re right.
(I wrote “inventor” in quotation marks because, according to the lore, it was ancient Egyptians who invented the game, the rich Sephiroth whose name I still can’t recall only brought it back to the modern age. But yeah, Yu-Gi-Oh! lore is pretty weird.)
Lmao I completely forgot how weird that show was, and only remember a few tidbits. I watched it in the 90s I think.
Edit oh god i just remembered the aryan dragons too lmaoooo
Edit2: omg i just read a cbr bio on the guy literally named Maximilian Pegasus:
Pegasus is the creator of Duel Monster and the president of Industrial Illusions. He is the first antagonist introduced in the original Yu-Gi-Oh anime. He has his hands on various cards that have not been seen by the public eye but tends to use his toon/illusion deck when dueling.
Pegasus is in possession of the Millennium eye. Pegasus wanted to gain control of KaibaCorp for their Solid Vision and all the Millennium items to resurrect his dead lover Cecelia. He went as far as to take the souls of Kaiba, Mokuba Kaiba, and Solomen Muto in his efforts to save his wife. When Yugi defeats him he becomes an ally to Yugi and his friends throughout the rest of the series.
Ridiculous. Imagine that read by the English dbz narrator. I’m literally laughing out loud irl
