I love this scene

I don’t have enough words to say how much, it’s basically what solidified my love for the series as more than a ‘joke’ when I decided to go back and reread it

because make no mistake, if you watched this scene as a kid or from abridged or whatever you probably made fun of it

it’s ok, I did too

It’s sappy and corny and so sweet I think it clogged my arteries, but I don’t even care, look at Honda (the king of ‘I need to repress feelings for the sake of being cool’) and Jounouchi being so into it and touched

And seeing Yuugi’s face going from ‘the fuck’ -> ‘oh my god anzu marry me’ -> ‘why was I even crying again? I have these amazing friends, why should I ever cry?’

I’m not even grazing the surface of why I love this collection of panels so much, but it doesn’t even matter

What I hope is made apparent is that this isn’t just drawing a smiley face on your hands then calling it ‘friendship’ 

It’s acknowledging the frailty of their time together, how they will have to move forward without each other at some point

but that’s ok

that doesn’t mean they can’t cherish the time they do have, and it’s so freaking perfect when realize how the ending fits this theme in

even though i’m not the happiest in the world with the ending, they sure as hell did that part right
