Greetings everyone
Welcome to my user page. I am Montechristo95 and I'm glad you visited my page, even if you did so by accident, even because you were bored and you wanted to visit something random. I'm 14 years old and I live in Greece in a city called Patra. I apologize for any spelling or grammar errors that you may bump into while reading this page. (provided of course you are still interested in doing so). At my page you can read my opinion about some aspects of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. If you want to leave me a message go to my Talk Page.

Also, sorry for the Times New Roman font that I'm using. Hope the black background helps you make out the letters more easily.

Why did I join this Wiki?
I joined this Wiki after a long time of being out and at that time, I hadn't had a contact with Yu-Gi-Oh! for almost two years. I thought it would be fun vandalising pages and I didn't really care about being blocked. Besides, the blocks used to last for about a day or two. However, eventually I saw the error in my way and with the help of Deltaneos, I managed to become a part of this community. Moral of the story: Don't vandalize wikis guys. The unknown, foreign internet fella with the lame user name says so.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Anime
I won't take part in that stupid "war" that rages for years now between the fans of the sub and those who support the dub. None of them suck, but also none of them is perfect. I'm annoyed by the censoring policy followed by 4Kids, which I think is extravagant, but on the other hand, I'm not thirsty for ultra violence.

My opinion of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Anime Series is generally positive. Despite the fact that the series' beginning season was totally lame, the continue was surprisingly interesting. I started watching the anime when I was 8-9 years old and it was first broadcast in my country. I wasn't (and still aren't) impressed by the first season, with the exception of the last few episodes when the series finally began to obtain a worth-watching plot.

My interest in Yu-Gi-Oh! skyrocketed with the introduction of the second season, Battle City. It was like watching a whole new show. The characters were presented as teens and not as children and they were far more mature; although I have to admit that Tea's constant frienship speeches bugged the hell out of me. The anti-hero, Seto Kaiba, was finally given the role he deserved and was at long last treated as a main character. However, the main thing that made this season my absolute favourite was that the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game was finally presented as a real, complicated and difficult game, worthy of respect and not as a children card game. With the introduction of the new rules (hooray for Kaiba the game genius!), some very serious flaws in the game were correctioned.

The following two season were quite good, with the Virtual World arc being my favourite. I wanted to learn some things about Kaiba's past and I enjoyed the fact that for once the plot didn't revolve around Yugi's necklace and the Millennium Items.

The next season, Waking the Dragons arc, was one of the worst anime works I've ever made the mistake to watch; the theme songs were recycled, the plot was way off, the bad guys were some street punks and all the new cards introduced were out of this world.

The final arc was... Hmm... Not exactly what you would call disappointing but it was a bit...boring...in some parts. Too much ancient egyptian things for one season don't you think? They overdid it a little. Of course the No1 thing in this arc was that Kaiba FINALLY after 250 episodes became a believer.

Season 0 was a worth-watching show, totally based on the manga series. I really liked it but I also understand why 4Kids prefered to dump it; if the company members are shocked by guns and punches then this season is clearly not for them.

Ten years later, a new show began. To my way of thinking, GX was better than the previous show in many ways. It had less talk and more action. We were finally freed by the Egyptian history and the Millenium Items and most importantly, this show didn't have a counterpart of Tea. What else could you ask for?

No comments for 5D's. I quitted watching the show after a few episodes. I'll just repeat the same question everybody asks. Was 5D's created by the same person who created the other two shows or not?

Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga
I got to read the manga series after my decision to watch the infamous Season 0 of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, a season greately worshipped by the fans of the sub. The manga series gave me an idea of what to expect from season 0. I have to say that the manga series is quite good; it doesn't focus on card games (at least in the beginning) but on games in general. Interesting to read while watching the anime adaptation.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game
Despite the fact that I have a deck and I generally like playing the game, I'm not a regular player. In my country, everyone ignores the card game, considering it a game for kids. That makes it difficult for me to find opponents. I know you wonder why don't I duel online; I just don't feel like it. I'm kinda like Pegasus, I want to have personal contact with my opponent. (wait a minute is that a good thing?)

You can visit this page to take a look at my decks and tell me your opinions about them.

What am I doing here anyway?
I'm a card names translator. I'm translating card names to Greek and I also add some Greek lores whenever I feel like it. You might also see me adding some trivial facts in the Trivia section of some cards. They usually get deleted after a couple of hours but still, it's all good.
