you are my strength. and this is the earliest post ever made in this LJ, I think.

Episode 78 (summary) of YGO is what I like to call the ultimate Jou-Yuugi moment of all time.

Here's why:

I could link you the HORRIFIC English dub of YGO Episode 78 (everything sounds better after you watch it, really), I'd rather link you: the much better-voiced and unedited sub.

Episode 78 1/3 | Episode 78 2/3 | Episode 78 3/3



2/3: Jou gets violently mind-violated by Malik. This is the Final Battle scene between Yuugi and Jou. It's so weird how they translate "Yuugi" as "Mutou" when the voices obviously aren't saying it. AND this is the DAISUKI scene, which they translated as, "Jou, I like you so much." ♥ This also has the beautifully super-dramatic Shizuka-unveiling-her-eyes scene and the JOU TO THE RESCUE!scene that is the first thing Shizuka sees. ♥

3/3: Opens with Shizuka saving Jou ♥ And Jou gets slapped by Mai. ... omg so many incredibly sweet Shizuka and Jou moments. ♥ And it has SEAHORSE! SEAHORSE! :D ... and the most hilarious subtitles wtf: Yami, "You made me experienced".



And of course, would this be complete without the most frighteningly extensive YGO screencap post to ever hit this LJ?

WARNING: approximately 40 screencaps behind cut.


. yuujou fan always & forever!


He really is saying, "Yuugi", though: go figure, subbers.















This is Shizuka. Shizuka is Jou's younger sister. Their parents divorced, so she and Jou live apart. She's slowly going blind and needs an operation for her to restore her eyesight, so Jou goes to Duelist Kingdom to win the competition for the money to save her sight.
He doesn't win, but Yuugi does, and Yuugi gives him the prize money for the operation. omg you guys. I don't think it's any wonder I will always love you best.

So after the operation Shizuka hasn't removed the bandages from her eyes, but Honda and Otogo take her to meet Jou, and:







And so the first thing she sees is:


Big brother saving Yuugi.



. shizuka = ♥

So Jou saves Yuugi, but because of the way Malik rigged the duel, he can't save himself:


BUT IT'S NOT OVER ~


But it isn't Yuugi!

AND YOUR SURPRISE SAVIOUR IS:







because little sisters kick ass, too.









because Jou was being emo:



... and also a woman, if this translation is anything to go by.


Jou: my pretty face.



. you are my strength














This is three different images together ;)






"Shizuka, boys are twits..."
