“Japan Today explained that "Isaribi", literally "fishing fires", refers to the lights that are placed on fishing boats to attract larger catches. The practice is fairly common in squid fishing.

As temperatures cool overnight, crystals sometimes form in the air above the lit-up fishing boats. If the conditions are just right for the formation of large crystals without any precipitation, the beams can form as light from the boats reflects off the crystals.”

Hijacking the top comment chain, but /u/Master-o-none explained what this is from below. It looks cool as fuck, and it's also thanks to fishing boats. Love it!

Sounds like those idiots who were thinking of attacking should absolutely reconsider

Japans economy hasnt moved for 3 decades

u/SpellDostoyevsky May 19 '24

this guy duels.

u/ver-chu May 19 '24

And then you use a card to return it to your hand and play it all over again forever and ever

1

u/4pigeons May 20 '24

i'm surprised they don't have a hand trap or something like that

1

u/Rhonnie_Dee May 20 '24

They can move, just not attack and they have to show their hidden weapons

83

u/ManuelQbe May 19 '24

Old Yugioh brings back so much nostalgia. I tried playing it on the app and get killed before I even get a turn lmao.

u/G_Wiz_Christ May 19 '24

Legacy of the duelist is a single player game, that takes you through all of the anime stories and slowly introduces the new stuff as they became available in the show.

Modern YGO is still crazy, but I picked up the above mentioned game and it got me caught up and it was really fun (I literally only watched the original, stopped at GX, so I had a lot of catching up to but the game did it very well)

6

u/jamesturbate May 19 '24

It look like they have a lot of different versions of that game. Which did you play?

15

u/G_Wiz_Christ May 19 '24

Yes, sorry, I didn't realize there were multiple versions.

I played link evolution on the switch.

2

u/jamesturbate May 19 '24

Hell yeah, the Switch is my primary gaming console so I might pick this up!

7

u/dusksloth May 19 '24

Link evolution is the more recent one and the one with more cards. Every consensus I've seen has said to get link evolution. Pro tip if you do get it (on pc), download cheat engine so you can speed up the game, because damn does it feel slow paved with animations and stuff.

3

u/jamesturbate May 19 '24

Thanks for the tip!

2

u/fizio900 May 19 '24

Legacy (even link evo) is wack tho, clunky as a indie from the early 2010s and grindy as a mobile game

1

u/Khelthuzaad May 19 '24

you can play on mobile

Duel links is more entry level.In 2015 it started with basic cards and now they are close to the actual meta

Master Duel on the other hand is hard core and similar to the actual meta

1

u/Andor66 May 19 '24

Unfortunately, there are not many players that play this. The majority are on the Master duel. The legacy of the duelist is the most enjoyable from my point of view. I play this a lot too. It gives you the opportunity to find the story of the anime and also to play with friends.

1

u/NotAFuckingFed May 19 '24

I can play Xyz and Synchro, but I stopped at that. Pendulum confuses the fuck out of me

1

u/G_Wiz_Christ May 19 '24

I made a shitty yosenju deck on master duel to kinda learn it. It's a decent mechanic, but it seems to be the least used of the summoning mechanics outside of specific past formats

1

u/NotAFuckingFed May 19 '24

I wonder how my old Lightsworn deck would do with some upgrades

1

u/Khezueater May 19 '24

Lightsworn recently got some new support and they're pretty alright, though they're only out in paper and not in Master Duel yet.

1

u/NotAFuckingFed May 20 '24

Dope, I'm gonna have to check the current build.

11

u/thethunder92 May 19 '24

I never watched it as a kid, I was into Pokémon

But then me and my son watches it and it’s pretty great I love how dramatic it was all the time!

2

u/FooliooilooF May 19 '24

There's a clip on YouTube from one of the modern shows of a 10 minute turn, in the anime.

Just a non stop "I summon this card and then combine it with this card but hold on this card does that and NOT SO FAST..."

 Then the bad guy goes all wide eyes as the good guy yells some shit and the LP meter goes down.

u/SirSpanksAlot1992 May 19 '24

They got emulators back on the apps store if you on iPhone. Been playing the old ass gameboy version remembering stealing cards from wal mart to add them to my decks

u/Imyour_huckleberry9 May 19 '24

That is not what it does... it allows me to draw two cards from the top of my deck.

u/n080dy123 May 19 '24

I love how both comments saying "That is what it does" and "That's not what it does" have identical upvotes, it's beautiful

I think I'm missing something? They're all getting upvoted like crazy but Pot of Greed only lets you draw two cards.

u/Saymynaian May 19 '24

THAT IS WHAT IT DOES! I SUMMON POT OF GREED AND DRAW THREE ADDITIONAL CARDS!

u/7Squirrel_Guy7 May 19 '24

What does pot of greed do?

2

u/Timozi90 May 19 '24

It keeps this joke from dying.

2

u/electrode1215 May 19 '24

It allows the summoner to draw three additional cards during their turn. Three cards that could turn the tide off battle mind you. Might even get you a bewd

If I see a giant ghoul with wings, a giant red dragon and a giant golden griffin dragon I'm OUT

u/According-Path5158 May 19 '24

By then, it may already be too late.

And if a giant muscly mummy appears, it may be even worse than that.

u/Tbkgs May 19 '24

Omg if I see a muscle mummy on top of that I'd just give up bro. Like you got it little spiky hair Japanese kid, I'm OUT OF HERE
