I love Yugioh (the original series not all this GX and Zexal business) but what I don't understand why Takahashi had to change the original outline?! The first seven manga of Yugioh is action packed, people die, are tortured, Joey got hung from a freakin ceiling TWICE!!! O.o
The first seven manga will always be my favorite, hands down. I really wish the author had stuck with the whole original game thing, because it was just so much more interesting. While I do love the Duel Monsters concept as well, I just think Yugioh could have reached a whole new potential with "King of Games" by actually playing DIFFERENT games rather than just one the entire time.
