Yugi gay
Of all the magical girl thats aimed at young girls,there is only 1 in Sailor Moon and 1 in one season of Precure. But it also doesn't mean they're gay either. Just like with media for girls can have subtext between girls. Weird though when they already threw in a lot of things already pushing the boundary in the dub.
Ai also likes Aqua anyways. I mean, a lot of people hc that Yusaku was more like Ai pre-incident but it's not really confirmed. Are you people for real? Though you have to admit it was both a Suicide by Cop and sacrifice. Even here where they say themselves that the protagonist doesn’t appear to like girls that way, there’s hints of them in a romantic way with Asuka apparently being the one who’s kinda into him.
Ai despite everything would sacrifice himself to save Yusaku, either life or future. Have you thought that the problem lies with you that you only close male friendships as subtext? Except just by mentioning "shipping" you are practically already acknowledging yuri and yaoi. GX.
The English dub changed Jaden's romantic relationships to platonic. Gay Gay Homosexual Gay or I Can Still Hear His Voice is a catchphrase often paired with images of characters from popular media, in which one character reminisces another character mocking them.
Remembering the 4kids level dub of VRAINS is the last of its kind of dubbing in this day and age, I'm not surprised they just removed the gay from him. I know some of you may read Yaoi but i believe you forget the demographic for this is young boys and not horny teenage girls.
Jaden Yuki's LGBTQ+ identity was censored in the English dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! Imo, it's kind of And I suspect that if their relationship is ever acknowledged again in the future which I think Duel Links, at least, will have to do , it'll probably be treated as textually platonic even in Japanese with maybe some jokes about it at most.
Ghost Girl: I ship it! Even the scene where Yusaku gets shot, while still censored somewhat, isn't handled too badly. Which you see a lot of in magical girl shows. Censorship of LGBTQ+ characters in anime dubs is less common now, leading to more accurate translations. Ah yes just because i am not subscribing to your headcanon that means i am homophobic even though i watch Clamp's works which have pretty obvious gay people or rather bisexual in this case.
Yugi Muto (武 (む) 藤 (とう) 遊 (ゆう) 戯 (ぎ) Mutō Yūgi), also romanized as Yugi Mutou, is the main protagonist of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Gay subtext? Knight of Hanoi: The only thing "brave" about you is that you're still willing to dab in public. Yeah, I do definitely think it stands out when outside of some inconsistency in the first half, the dub was more or less allowed to acknowledge a lot of the darker themes from the original like death, child torture and masochism that past dubs were never allowed to touch.
He's just based off of studying his dueling data so you could take it however you want, I feel like. Nonetheless, I do think there was definitely an attempt made to reduce the subtext as much as possible along with all the other things going on in that scene. And just modern trends in general.
Ai: Huh? So apparently fan culture, a word blatantly meant to be a curse, and mocking someone for an outdated dance is fine, but not a guy confessing to a guy. Yusaku is Ai's partner,he is made from him,there is no subtext,just like there was none when Yugi said to Joey he loves him.
Homoerotic subtext or not, there's nothing wrong with two guys saying "I love you" and it's so weird despite being the "progressive country," corporations and Tik Tok alpha males that wish they were Go Onizuka levels of charismatic didn't wanna keep it in. series, along with Yami Yugi.
Starting on Tumblr in , the meme gained popularity in January and spread to other platforms. Much like a lot of media, YGO is no stranger to lead boy-lead girl romances. If you watch the entire last duel, they also altered it pretty heavily where it's still technically a Suicide by Cop , but Ai only reveals the truth at the very last minute and they try to play if off like Ai was just trying to "sacrifice" himself to protect Yusaku from dying in the bad futures and act like it wasn't still basically as suicide.
I'd love to be proven wrong but shounen anime don't tend to like cashing in on their gay subtext. Kolter: You know, If you told me a week or even a day ago that we'd be working with the Hanoi, I'd say you need to write more realistic fanfics. But I guess the whole last arc was just too much.
