[OOC] Episode Guide and Analysis 1 (Incomplete)
This is a guide specifically to the Bakura-related scenes and episodes of the Yu Gi Oh! Duel Monsters anime, for both my quick reference, and that of anyone else who may be interested.
This will be done in comments, with a specific layout - the Episode Number and title, followed by separate threads for images and scripts, to lower strain on users. Each will also have a separate thread for my comments and notes, and any comments other people wish to put in. For episodes with separate Bakura scenes, I will be separating the thread into multiple comments per scene, to reduce image overload.
Episodes
▶ The Terrifying Blue-Eyes White Dragon
▶ Trap of Illusionist No-Face
▶ Exodia the Lost One
▶ The Insector Combo
▶ Black Flame! Red Eyes Black Dragon!
▶ Metamorpot's Trap! The Flame Swordsman in Danger
▶ A Pitch-Black Duel! The Castle Concealed in the Darkness
▶ Cut Through the Darkness! Sealing Swords of Light
▶ Clash! Blue-Eyes VS. Red-Eyes
▶ Fear! Call of the Living Dead
▶ Shield in Left Hand, Sword in Right Hand
▶ Labyrinth Tag Duel

Bakura Images
Bakura Script
Mai: The Player Killer of Darkness fought perfectly protecting himself...
Ryou: Yeah. And on the other hand, Yugi-kun has his offensive strategies, but the enemy's defense is too high. He can't just attack...
Following the Turtle Catapult Gambit:
Honda: Oh? Yugi's Life Points have...
Ryou: He used it all in a suicide strategy...
Jounouchi: Bakura! Don't be so calm! And what will he do if this attack didn't destroy the castle?
As they're walking away from Mai at the end:
Jounouchi: Now then... let's sleep!
Honda: As always all you say is shit!
Jounouchi: Shut up!
Ryou: Now, now...
Notes
-Interestingly, most of Ryou's lines in this episode were taken from Mai's lines in the manga. In the manga, he actually slept through this duel. As did most of the rest of the group. Yugi and Anzu were Mai's only support after hearing her scream initially.
-It's quite fascinating how easily Ryou makes calm recognitions of threats. In a later part of the manga, Honda is shown to be suspicious of Ryou's calmly pessimistic views on Pegasus' danger to Yugi, and he's right to. But in the anime, it's never even hinted that it's unusual apart from Jou yelling at him about his calmness.
-Ryou has quite a mommy-like attitude, soothing the woes of the group. It's rather sweet.
