so this is fansubs bc i can’t afford crunchyroll premium anymore & thus can’t access the official subs on crunchyroll but i think about this a lot. and the fact that both fansubs and official subs give the line “yusei would probably be king in that stadium” and it also appears in the dub… this is like. consistent enough for me to say with confidence that yusei is like. like if you’ve ever listened to breathe from in the heights? it’s like that. he’s got such first gen immigrant energy. the one who always made the grade. the one who made it out.

and the other consistent thing is yusei insisting that’s not what he ever wanted. yusei would never have left satellite if it wasn’t for jack stealing stardust dragon. he’d have no reason to leave. but everyone sees yusei a future duel king. as the pride and joy. and it’s a lot of pressure to put on one dude.
