What's funny is that while everybody mentions Death Note' date=' I had the police drama The Shield in mind with how Mackey and the Strike Team steal money from the Armenian Mob to pay for help for his autistic son (the other members used it for stuff) while dodging Aceveda's (later Forrest Whitaker's character's) investigation lol. Consider a main character in yugioh cheating in a tournament to win prize money for a loved one.

Well then, the show would be awfully short, wouldn't it? They win the tournament, heal their loved won, show's over, right?

 

I never saw The Shield but it sounds like the story could still continue after Mackey's son is healed. They'd now have the Armenian Mob on their tail. However it goes nowhere in Yu-Gi-Oh. Mackey lies, cheats and steals his way to Nats, wins it, pays for his autistic son's whatever, and then... even if he's found out, the head judge or w/e can't say anything.

 

Mackey's son wasn't healed...I don't think autism can be "healed" because I have a mild form of it called aspergers, and I'd know of a cure if one existed.

 

Anyway, it wasn't the mob after them, as much as it was Acevada until he became mayor. Lem burned the money to save the team, and they disbanded after a disagreement. They later got back together, and were targeted by Kavanaugh of Internal Affairs. Lem was arrested when Kavanaugh learned that he sold heroin that stole from some criminals early on and Mackey bails him out. Fearing that Lem may rat out the team, fellow member Shane kills him with a hand grenade, setting up the final story arc involving his war with Mackey over the murder. They manage to defeat Kavanaugh when he makes it personal and sexually harasses Mackey's ex-wife (after Mackey slept with his mentally unstable wife), plants fake evidence on the team, and strong-arms witnesses to lie about the Strike Team. Claudette (the current boss) and Dutch become suspicious of Kavanaugh, question his witness, realizing she's full of crap, then Kavanaugh confesses to his dishonesty. Shane confesses to Mackey that he killed Lem after Mackey brutally kills someone they suspected, and Mackey goes crazy. Shane accuses him of hypocrisy, Mackey having shot a fellow cop in the face in the first episode when he witnessed Mackey murdering a criminal. Their war begins, and...watch the show!

 

So, yes. A story can continue after such a tournament arc...maybe not as dark and effectively though unless it's a Duel Academy-based tournament.

what if you just had a few people going to a cardshop and playing children's card games?

 

they'd keep the holograms of course' date=' cuz fuckit, but aside from that it's just normal people going to the card shop. playing other people. they'd all have their own style of deck, but they'd run a few other things too. there would be some tournies, trading, stuff like that. but nothing too annoying.

 

it would be seriously character driven, so they would have to be built pretty solidly and realistically. not just mary sue's and self insert generics. nor boring stereotypes.

 

there could even be a few antagonistic players to create some drama.

 

for those of you who get the reference, it'd be a card game about nothing :P

 

 

thoughts?

I think his reference was closer to Seinfeld: "a show about nothing". Thus this would be "a card game about nothing", rather than a reference to anything LK did, and particularly season 0. The closest thing is the use of "card game", but the abridged series emphasizes "children's card game".

Yeah, the reference is Seinfeld, not Yugioh Abridged.
