Yes I know I said the Grown Up pic was my last, but I decided to at least post this one because it's a more personal tribute towards Kazuki Takahashi. But I swear, this will be my last on here...

Despite it being over a week since he passed, a lot of people are still in disbelief about it. I'm honestly still shocked that he is gone myself. As I have mentioned before, YGO was my first ever fandom and my childhood. I remember watching the 4kids dub episodes and enjoying them so much. I even remember asking my parents to get me a few of the manga books to which they did give me the third of the first season series. It was honestly the start of me drawing and even my first ever characters to be created. Even though I would tend to fall out of love with it a couple of times, I ended up coming back to it. Especially when I lost my father a couple of years ago. It helped me slowly heal over such a devastating loss because I loved my dad so much. And now, the man who created something that helped me heal is also gone. Is this what they call cruel irony?

...which is why I decided to draw this. A tribute of my own of Mr. Takahashi himself with my top favorite character of his and his top favorite. Pharaoh Atem is still considered my favorite of the whole YGO cast and I love him because of what a strong and kind character he can be. Mr. Takahashi has mentioned a few times that Joey aka Jonouchi Katsuya is the best character he ever created and his favorite. And I can see why. I love the arc Joey goes through of how he starts off as a bully but becomes a good loyal friend and a strong duelist. Which is why I felt it was appropriate to draw him with Mr. Takahashi himself.

I know I will continue to draw his characters in his honor since they really did help me and he did as well. Thank you so much for everything, Kazuki Takahashi. May the good Lord bless you and watch over you while you rest in peace. It's time to duel!
