Summary: The continuing awesomeness!
Review: Again, brilliant! This volume continues where the first left off, and introduces us to Shadi! Again more graphic violence, which makes the story even better!

Summary: The true story behind the first episode!
Review: Remember in the first episode where Kaiba rips up the Blue Eyes owned by Yugi's grandpa, and Yugi then duels him and wins with Exodia? Well, this is the original story behind it: Death-T! Kaiba's been wanting revenge ever since Yugi actually defeated him at Magic and Wizards(the original name for Duel Monsters), so he blackmails him, more or less, into facing his amusement park from heck. Kaiba wants Yugi dead, but if somehow he actually manages to get by the first 4 stages, he'll face Kaiba in a rematch. And yes, it's going to be exactly the same as in the first episode... or is it? Let's just say that there will be quite a few surprises for people familiar with, "The Heart of the Cards." I happen to notice; that there's an extreme lack of Yami Yugi in this volume(he only shows up briefly to poison Mokuba and save Jonouchi). But don't worry, he'll get to show up next volume. Also, not only do we get introduced to a completely new perverted character(who, get this--- is just a baby!), but lots of stuff in this will more than likely give them nightmares--- especially one character named the Chopman, a serial killer(yes, a serial killer) Kaiba hires to off the group. It's stuff like this that reminds me why I love the Yu-Gi-Oh manga:1, All the characters are a bit more extreme than in the anime, 2, Some characters actually die in the manga, 3, The card game, while still important, is not as much of a focus as it is in the anime(which even creates HUGE filler storylines to have more of the card battles), 4, The duels themselves are much more violent than in the anime, and 5, the art just looks so cool! Too bad the anime sugar-coated everything in it, and then 4Kids came and sugar-coated it again, just so the kids could watch! But with this volume, we can at least see how it is originally intended, and it's no exception to the reasons of why I love it so much. So in the end, if you want to see the "mature" version of the Yu-Gi-Oh your kid brother or sister watches, I recommened this volume!

Summary: "Heart of the Cards" - Extreame!
Review: Remember the anime episode "Heart of the Cards?" Learn the full story! With Tristan presumed dead, Yugi, Joey, and Tea claw their way to the top of Death-T with one thought in mind - revenge! But the road won't be easy... First up, Yugi faces Kaiba's nasty little brother Mokuba in a rigged game of Capsule Monster Chess... but no sooner has Yugi defeated Kaiba the Younger than the real challenge begins, and the wicked Seto Kaiba faces him in a game of Duel Monsters with three ravenous Blue-Eyes White Dragons in wait! Armed with only his grandfather's deck and his powerful Heart, Yugi needs more than Millennium Magic to prevail... Suspense and thrils like never before! The origin of Seto Kaiba! The first appearance of the Dark Magician! The first appearance of... Yugi's mom? Bet you didn't know he had one! Don't miss it, but be warned... this ain't no cartoon...
