Yu-Gi-Oh! The Final Duel

I've been watching YGO since 2004-05 but never considered taking it too seriously until I saw the last episode of the show and knew that this anime wasn't meant just for kids but to adult viewers as well.The last episode was a more deeper emotional one which presented the final duel of the original show.The duel between Yugi Muto and the spirit of the puzzle, Pharao Atem who's been in this world for almost 3.000 years and the only task was to set his spirit free is to loose a duel.Althou this was the first time he hoped for his opponent's victory his pride didn't allowed him to take it easy and fought with great braveness.Many thought that Atem was the king of games but ultimately all saw that the true kings of games was non other then Yugi himself.

   The game was a blast because Atem used his own signature cards like Dark Magician,Dark Magician Girl, Monster Reborn and the 3 Egyptian God Cards while Yugi had to construct his own deck with cards like Gandora the Dragon of Destruction .
   The duel was intense but Yugi ultimately beat the Pharao and set his soul free.
   The final scene concluded with Atem walking into the shinny door to the next world where the spirits rest while hoping that the braveness and kindness he gave his friends will live through them forever.Joey,Tristan and Tea were assuring him that he will remain in their hearts as their best friends but Tea felt otherwise for him just wasn't brave enough to admit it
   As for the show it really evolved from a childish show to a more mature serial.The first season was all about dueling and having fun but as the show procceeded it became more mature and character realistic.Maybe thats why it offspringed two more Yu-Gi-Oh related spin offs like Yu-Gi-Oh! GX(which between us was a shame with its childish theme) and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's which from my point of view is the TRUE follower of the first series.
    I'll rate the show with a 7.5 out of 10 and the final episode a 8.7/10.
