The Blackangel Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 It's never good news to hear that a developer dies. While I was more a fan of MTG, YuGiOh was a massive success. Possibly even bigger than MTG. I used to know kids that traveled all around the state to compete in competitions. I would bet that his lifelong dream was to be remembered for creating something memorable that would bring joy to others. And I would definitely say that he succeeded in that endeavor.

killamch89 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Sad day indeed - Duel monsters was one of my favorite morning animes/cartoons to watch as a teen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 He had stopped doing character designs for the anime(s) after VRAINS, and its never felt the same since. The first 3 Yugioh series have some of the most unique and memorable character designs for me. Let alone memories as a kid, waking up early just to catch an episode of Duel Monsters, GX, and 5Ds throughout my school years. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always had some epic entrances when summoned during a duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I came across this news in another forum the other day and it was a shocker for me. It's so sad that Kazuki Takahashi had die at that age. With an investigation going on into his death, I hope they find what happened. He will surely be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
