there's a lot of news surrounding the role of Batman lately but it wasn't that
long ago the Christian Bale was the only Bruce Wayne that people could talk about
except for the mighty Michael Keaton Bale brought an even darker psychology
to the character and together with director Christopher Nolan they made
three of the best Batman movies ever produced
Christian Bale was recently doing press for his latest project hostel's and the
subject of Batman was brought up leading the actor to indulge in some rare
reflection on the Dark Knight trilogy and what it means for his career the
Academy award-winning actor was interviewed for varieties playback
podcast where he went into detail about his time as Bruce Wayne while revealing
that a component of his method acting may have backfired on him while filming
the movies in addition Christian Bale also talked about what the collaboration
with Christopher Nolan did for his career as it turns out Bale is still
coming to grips with the success that had brought him when it comes to his
method acting Christian Bale recalled that he suggests that he should always
be seen with the famous Batman cowl on while I'm set to keep it a mystery for
when people saw it for the first time while filming the idea seems like a good
practice if not a little much Bale admits that it may have worked but it
also led to him spending a lot of time to himself
in addition Christian Bale also spoke about how his role as Patrick Bateman
and American Psycho prepared him for the Bruce Wayne psychology he noted that
true fans of The Dark Knight recognized the darkness in the character therefore
making it an okay choice to cast Bale on the role in the public's eye Christian
Bale also went into the duality of the character talking about the philanthropy
as well as the darkness within Christian Bale is currently almost unrecognizable
due to his weight gain and shaved head that he has to play Dick Cheney in Adam
McKay's upcoming movie a far cry from his rib days as Bruce Wayne whatever the
role is Bale is going to take it to the extreme as the weight gain and Shaye
had demonstrate so his dick chaney is probably going to be pretty intense in
other Batman news it's not clear whether or not Ben Affleck is still going to
carry on with the role now that Justice League has come and go in theaters

Dark Souls: Full Prologue Remastered [2560x1080/60fps/Ultrawide] - Duration: 3:45.
In the Age of Ancients,
the world was unformed, shrouded by fog.
A land of gray crags, archtrees and everlasting dragons.
But then there was Fire.
And with Fire, came Disparity.
Heat and cold,
life and death,
and of course... Light and Dark.
Then, from the Dark, They came,
and found the Souls of Lords within the flame.
Nito, the first of the dead,
the Witch of Izalith, and her Daughters of Chaos,
Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, and his faithful knights,
and the furtive pygmy, so easily forgotten.
With the Strength of Lords, they challenged the dragons.
Gwyn's mighty bolts peeled apart their stone scales.
The witches weaved great firestorms.
Nito unleashed a miasma of death and disease.
And Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own,
and the dragons were no more.
Thus began the Age of Fire.
But soon, the flames will fade, and only Dark will remain.
Even now, there are only embers,
and man sees not light, but only endless nights.
And amongst the living are seen, carriers of the accursed Darksign.

TV Of The Lost - Episode 352 - Dark Storm Festival 2017 - Duration: 7:37.
There's always time for a change, so I thought...
...why not try something new?
So, welcome to TV Of The Lost...
...in our BLACKFIRE Night liner.
Come on, show the flokati!
We're looking forward to the family reunion that is the Dark Storm Festival!
Let me put you on speakerphone.
[Gared on the phone]
You can stop jerking off now.
Are you drunk?
Better keep some distance, like in chemistry class.
And now:
Pi operating the camera.
In theaters soon.
Do we really need more shots of a hung over Gared Dirge stepping out of the bus?
Welcome to TV Of The Lost...
...episode 352...
from the Dark Storm Festival in Chemnitz.
Merry Christmas!
Why can't I do a single thing without the cam around?
Can't even eat my eggs...
Actually, he's our new singer.
Are you gonna beat the shit out of him tonight?
Want some Prosecco?
Let's go shopping!
What's that supposed to be?
Guess that's some sort of price labelling machine.
Why would they sell something like that?
Basically, that benefits your competitors.
Any competitor could buy that, open up a booth and put price tags on things.
And your monopoly goes down the drain.
- What's your Christmas present? - A cock ring!
Obviously.
I wanted to try a new gauge.
It's a bit tighter...
...although a bit thicker and a different material.
Feels a bit dryer.
How about a "Dick Rundown"?

Why the Dark Side made Sith Ugly [Legends] - Star Wars Explained - Duration: 3:55.
Most Sith that we see appear in Star Wars are usually quite ugly and tend to have their
physical appearance change in some manner once they fall to the dark side; whether it
be minor changes like yellow eyes, to major ones like their entire body becoming severely
deformed.
So why did this happen to those who embraced the dark side of the force?
And why did these physical changes only happen to some and not others?
In short, the unnatural aspects of the dark side of the force and the great power it gave
to its users required a great cost in return, both mentally and physically.
The longer and deeper one dived into the dark side, the more severe their mental and physical
deterioration appeared.
This was known as dark side corruption.
Sith throughout history have given their thoughts as to why they believed the dark side physically
deformed them.
Darth Bane believed that the flesh and bones of organic beings lacked the endurance to
channel the immense powers of the dark side, and that overtime this weakness of the physical
body began to show over longtime use.
Darth Revan on the other hand believed that the way the Sith used the dark side, to force
direct change in themselves and onto the galaxy, had to accept the physical changes as a reflection
of their sacrifices.
Funny enough, when a young Palpatine became the apprentice of Darth Plagueis, he actually
asked his master if he would one day end up deformed and sickly looking like him and the
Sith of the past.
Plagueis simply answered that he didn't know and that it should not matter.
For the power of the dark side is an illness that no true Sith would ever wish to be cured
of.
And if embracing its power meant sacrificing your physical looks, then so be it.
So why did some Sith, like Palpatine, become completely deformed, while others, like Count
Dooku, barely saw any of its effects.
Well there's two answers to that.
One has to do with how much of the dark side the Sith embraced and for how long, and the
other answer has to do with whether or not they were using a force technique that hid
what they truly looked like.
Although Count Dooku used the dark side, he didn't use it nearly to the extent of someone
like Palpatine who was pretty much completely consumed by it.
The dark side hadn't fully corrupted Dooku as it had with most Sith and darksiders, to
where it became an obsession to him.
He only really used it during fights and experiments, but outside of that it didn't affect him
nearly as much as it did others.
There was still a part of him from his past self that remained in him despite his fall
to the dark side.
And because his mental state hadn't fully been corrupted by the dark side, it was reflected
through his physical appearance as a result.
Then we come to the Sith Alchemy ability known simply as Mask.
This ability allowed its user to hide what they really looked like and put on a completely
different appearance of their choosing.
This is what Palpatine used throughout most of his Chancellorship.
On top of hiding his dark side abilities through the force from the Jedi, he also hid it through
his physical appearance as well.
However when his force lightning was deflected back at him during his fight against Mace
Windu, this mask of his broke and revealed his true appearance.
Which is why only Palpatine's appearance changed when he was hit by force lightning,
while everyone else who was ever hit by it remained the same.
So even if Sith who were strongly embedded to the dark side appeared to look normal,
its very possible that they were using this dark side technique of hiding their true appearance
from everyone else for various of reasons.

Stars Whose Dark Secrets Were Exposed In 2017 - Duration: 10:04.
There were a lot of stars who had filthy -- and sometimes criminal -- secrets exposed in 2017.
After years of Hollywood brushing certain types of behaviors under the rug, the Me Too
movement put a lot of former favorites on blast.
Meanwhile, other celebs who'd somehow survived whispers about their unsavory behaviors were
no longer tolerated either.
"Survivors are finding their voice, and people are -- and I include myself in this -- really
discovering the terrible extent of this problem."
Here are the stars whose secrets were exposed this year.
Charlie Heaton
Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton should've had the month of his life in October, as the
sequel to his hit show was met with intense fanfare and his off-screen relationship with
co-star Natalia Dyer was slowly becoming public.
But the actor was busted and detained at LAX for allegedly having trace amounts of substance
in his possession on a flight en route to the premiere, and he had to miss the opening
of the smash sequel.
Heaton maintained his innocence, but then it was also revealed that Heaton shares a
secret love child with ex-girlfriend Akiko Matsuura.
Johnny Depp
Though Johnny Depp was initially revealed to have some personal problems in 2016, amidst
his brutal divorce from Amber Heard, even more messy matters came to light this year.
In January, Depp sued his business management company for mismanaging his money for nearly
two decades.
But while the actor alleged he was defrauded out of millions of dollars, the management
company fired back and accused him of squandering millions on his lavish lifestyle.
As a result of the conflict, the public got a play-by-play on exactly what Depp spent
his fortune on, from a massive monthly wine budget to his many elaborate vacations, and
more.
Suffice it to say, after this year, Johnny Depp's infamous air of mystery is no more.
Mel B
When former Spice Girl Mel B filed for divorce from Stephen Belafonte, her husband of nearly
a decade, their split was very ugly and publicized a lot of very private details about the inner
workings of their marriage, including the fact that Belafonte allegedly got their nanny
pregnant.
Mel was also accused of abusing substances and alcohol during the marriage, while Belafonte
was said to have physically and emotionally abused her throughout their relationship.
Whether any or all of this was true, these certainly weren't the kind of details she
wanted fans to hear about.
Kevin Hart
In September, Kevin Hart was subjected to an extortion attempt that revealed he'd been
cheating on his then-pregnant wife, Eniko Parrish, with a dancer.
He fessed up to putting himself in an untoward situation but refused to cave to the cash
grab attempt.
Since then, Hart has been candid about his role in the scandal.
In December, he told The Breakfast Club of his "massive mistake," saying:
"That's Kevin Hart in his dumbest moment.
That's not the finest hour of my life."
"I'm gonna go home, I'm gonna address it, I'm gonna make my wife fully aware of what's
going on in the situation."
Harvey Weinstein
In October, a New York Times exposé accused Harvey Weinstein of decades of harassment
in the movie business, with his alleged victims including Rose McGowan and Ashley Judd.
"I remember the lurch when I went to the desk and asked Mr. Weinstein is he in the patio,
and they were like no he was in his room and I was like..."
When confronted with the allegations, Weinstein said in a statement:
"I came of age in the 60's and 70's, when all the rules about behavior and workplaces
were different.
That was the culture then."
"I have since learned it's not an excuse, in the office — or out of it."
"I appreciate the way I've behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and
I sincerely apologize for it."
Just days later, Ronan Farrow penned a piece in The New Yorker accusing Weinstein of similarly
groping or pressuring at least three women, including actress Asia Argento, who later
made a film about her encounter.
Weinstein denied all accusations of non-consensual activity, but then the allegations began flooding
in, with stars including Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Salma Hayek, Heather Graham, Cara
Delevingne, Kate Beckinsale, and many more accusing him of various forms of misconduct
through the years.
The man who was once the face of Hollywood power has now become synonymous with systematic
abuse in the industry.
Ben & Casey Affleck
In 2010, two women who'd worked on Casey Affleck's film I'm Still Here sued him for harassment,
with allegations ranging from touching one of the women inappropriately while she slept
to ordering crew members to expose themselves.
The women reached settlements with Affleck for undisclosed sums and were prohibited from
speaking about the allegations.
The subject of Affleck's alleged wrongs became a centerpiece of his entire 2017 awards season
run, with many focusing squarely on the way survivor Brie Larson handled her duties of
doling out trophies to him throughout his sweep.
Brother Ben also had his past come back to haunt him in 2017.
In October, the actor had to apologize to One Tree Hill star Hilarie Burton for having
felt her on the set of MTV's Total Request Live back in 2003.
"I don't remember it, but I absolutely apologize for it."
Days later, more women came forward accusing Affleck of touching them inappropriately.
Affleck didn't comment on the newest accusations, but his Justice League press tour certainly
put him in the hot to seat to answer for his bad behaviors.
Kevin Spacey
Also joining the bevy of accused men in Hollywood was Kevin Spacey, who was alleged to have
made inappropriate advances on Star Trek: Discovery 's Anthony Rapp when the actor was
just 14.
Spacey's statement on the matter was immediately condemned, as he used that opportunity to
come out of the closet, which LGBT advocates did not find appropriate.
But Spacey's troubles were far from over.
A similar accusation was soon revealed by Richard Dreyfuss' son, who was also a teenager
at the time of the alleged incident, before more than a dozen others came forward with
their own stories.
He was immediately fired from House Of Cards and his scenes from Ridley Scott's All The
Money In The World were re-shot with another actor in the role.
Spacey has since gone into hiding, although he continues to deny the allegations.
Louis C.K.
In November, five women accused comedian Louis C.K. of lewd behavior, alleging that he asked
or forced them to watch him pleasure himself.
Most of the women were comedians or otherwise under C.K.'s employ.
"And he approached me and got really close to my face..."
"And he said can I mastur--- in front of you?"
Though he'd dismissed rumors of misconduct for years, this time he copped to the tales,
saying in a statement:
"These stories are true.
At the time, I said to myself that what I did was okay…"
"But what I learned later in life... is that when you have power over another person, asking
them to look at your d**k isn't a question.
It's a predicament for them.
The power I had over these women is that they admired me.
And I wielded that power irresponsibly."
Like others of his unfortunate ilk, he, too, has seen projects pulled from production as
a result of these revelations.
Dustin Hoffman
Also in November, a production intern on the 1985 TV movie Death Of A Salesman accused
Dustin Hoffman of harassing her throughout the shooting of the film, with offenses allegedly
ranging from inappropriate comments to unwanted touching.
Hoffman didn't deny the claims, telling The Hollywood Reporter in a statement:
"I have the utmost respect for women and feel terrible that anything I might have done could
have put her in an uncomfortable situation.
I am sorry.
It is not reflective of who I am."
But even more accusations of various forms of Hoffman's alleged misconduct have surfaced
since the initial report, and Hoffman has faced criticism from all walks of the industry
as a result.
Matt Lauer
In late November, Matt Lauer was abruptly fired from Today amid multiple allegations
of misconduct spanning almost two decades.
Variety reported that Lauer would invite young female staffers to his hotel room late at
night during Olympics coverage through the years, as well as carrying on affairs in his
office and elsewhere.
Lauer didn't deny the accusations, saying in a statement:
"Some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized, but there is enough truth
in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed."
Mario Batali
In December 2017, an Eater report revealed that celebrity chef Mario Batali was accused
of nearly 20 years of misconduct, with accusations ranging from making inappropriate comments
to restaurant workers to feeling and touching women.
Batali didn't deny the allegations and was candid and apologetic, saying in a statement:
"I apologize to the people I have mistreated and hurt.
Although the identities of most of the individuals mentioned in these stories have not been revealed
to me, much of the behavior described does, in fact, match up with ways I have acted."
Batali stepped away from his various eateries and was fired from The Chew, while a reboot
of Molto Mario on the Foot Network was canned.
Morgan Spurlock
Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock admitted to various instances of past misconduct in
a social media post in December, even claiming that a woman accused him of forced activity.
Following his confession, Spurlock stepped down from Warrior Poets Productions, and his
upcoming release, Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken was pulled from the Sundance Film Festival.
He's but the latest in a string of high-powered men whose past conduct has finally received
a reckoning in 2017.

Character Analysis - Ryou Bakura (獏了) Dark Side of Dimensions - Duration: 12:28.
Hey guys, what is up? My name is the Analytical Duelist and this is actually
my first ever YouTube video! So before we get started, I'd really like to do a few
pointers just so that way you guys kind of get the rhythm of how I do these
things. I grew up watching Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and it was fabulous.
The only problem I have is from 5D's onwards... Unless they are recommended by
you guys and you guys want me to do videos over them,
I will not include them. I will never do a video without you guys wanting me to
do anything from the new generations. I'm sorry they're just not my favorite and,
to be honest, they are a little bit ridiculous--but please don't click away
from the video just because I said that! Also, I grew up watching the Japanese
version of the show, so I'm gonna use the Japanese names because I'm more familiar
with them. If you guys want me to use the English names, please specify, and if you
guys don't really know the Japanese equivalency for some of the more English
people out there, I will also include that in the description below so that
way you guys can kind of follow along and kind of get a glimpse of who I'm talking
about. So today is very exciting. I'm gonna start off the video with one
of my favorite characters from a movie that recently came out in 2016. The movie
is Dark Side of Dimensions, and I'm not entirely certain if you guys have seen
it, so this episode is gonna contain a lot of spoilers. But I'm gonna be doing
one on my favorite character: my favorite character is Ryou Bakura. I absolutely
love his character, especially in the Dark Side of Dimensions, which is why
today, I'm going to be doing a character analysis on Bakura in Dark Side of Dimensions.
(So this will be his entire personality and his entire structure based
on the movie.) So I'm really excited to do this and I hope you guys are too, so
let's get started!
Bakura's character in Dark Side of Dimensions focuses
mainly on real Bakura, the good Bakura. It was really awesome that they decided
to use the good Bakura rather than the evil Bakura because he's given so much
more screen time in Dark Side of Dimensions than he was in the original
anime. Unfortunately, the original anime focused mainly on Yami-Bakura since he
was one of the main antagonists, but [I'll] save that for a different video.
Kazuki Takahashi did a fabulous job creating Bakura's character, and I can't
thank him enough for doing so. Of course, the anime being ten years old and the
movie being brand new, they did change a few things about his appearance,
one of them being his eye color. In the original anime, he had brown eyes, but now,
he has purple eyes; and the different lengths and styles of his hair. He had
white hair originally in the anime, but they changed it to grey hair in
DSoD (Dark Side of Dimensions). They did a fabulous job of developing the real Bakura's
character, and they did that by giving him his own scene. Of course, there were a
few differences from the anime. In the anime, Bakura's father was in Egypt on
a business trip, and he actually came into contact with the Sennen Ring from a
local merchant. He purchased it and brought it home as a gift for his son,
Ryou. However, DSoD shows
that Ryou and his father both lived in Egypt, and that his father was obsessed
with finding the Sennen Ring. One night, he goes out to try and search in the Valley
of the Kings to find the Sennen Ring, and Ryou tags along without his father
knowing. Bakura's father finally finds the Sennen Ring but is thoroughly
surprised when he sees Shadi and children guarding the tomb. Bakura's
father goes mad and he pulls out all the money he possibly can carry in a
briefcase and he offers it to Shadi, saying that he'll buy the Ring no matter
what the price is. Shadi then states that the Ring cannot be purchased, but rather
it must choose a suitable host before [he] can become into possession of the
Sennen Ring. Bakura's father tried on the Ring and he failed the test, resulting in
him being severely injured. Ryou comes to his father's aid, but his father is too
wrapped up in the excitement of finding the Sennen Ring and the pain from his
injuries to even notice that his son is there.
He's only focused on finding where the Ring landed.
Ryou, trying to help, goes and
picks up the Ring. The Ring decided that Ryou was going to be the
chosen one and was a suitable host for the ancient spirit. After being possessed
by the evil spirit, he goes on to kill Shadi and then tries to severely hurt
the children before he leaves with a new host.
For those of you who grew up
watching the 4-Kids! dub, you noticed that (a lot of the times) any sort of
violence or death was eliminated. But since 4-Kids! no longer exists (yay), they
were actually able to keep the original design and the original plot for Bakura's
possession, which was a good thing because of the line that's mentioned
later on.
One of the most interesting lines in the entire scene is when Bakura
is speaking with Aigami and he says:
"I am so sorry. It's not easy to lose someone. I know because I lost someone as well on that day."
This is a very interesting phrase that we hear from Bakura. We aren't entirely
certain if he's talking about his father, who might have physically died because
of his injuries, or his good self--the side that was pushed aside in order to
make room for the evil spirit.
Another great thing that DSoD
added was the previous scene, where Bakura was walking with Jounouchi (Joey) and Aigami.
You see Bakura fall to his knees, and he
grips his head and he says:
"I don't want to relive that memory...No, why am I talking about this? I don't want to revisit the terrible things that happened that night!"
This combined with the vivid flashbacks and the
intense trembling shows that he has some form of PTSD, or post-traumatic stress
disorder, which is incredibly common in people who have been abused. I won't go
into the relationship with the good Bakura and the bad Bakura in this episode,
but I will say that some of the signs that he shows really does prove that the
relationship with the Sennen Ring proved to be a very traumatizing experience for Ryou.
We see Bakura facing a lot of different opponents in the original anime. However
in DSoD, we never really get to see him duel. There was an
idea that was proposed by Yugi that they should all get together for one final
duel before graduation, but that [is] never (shown).
I hate to be a
Debbie Downer and end the episode on such a low note, so I decided that I'll
start with some of the negatives and then move on to some of the positives. So
here are the negatives: I don't mean to sound nitpicky or be extremely
detail-oriented, but one of the biggest disappointments was that it never showed
any of Ryou's scars. In the original manga, Yami-Bakura was seen stabbing Ryou's left
hand into the tower of a castle. Another point in the manga was when Yami-Bakura
was working with Marik Ishtar and (he) stabbed himself in the left arm and made
a deep gash. This is where in the anime Marik finally meets Jounouchi (Joey) and Anzu (Téa).
You might remember the episode, especially the scene where Marik is seen
carrying Bakura because Bakura is injured. That's where the injury comes
from: Yami-Bakura. For whatever reason, the anime left the detail out.
Another really disappointing factor was when the entire group was up on the roof talking about
their futures. Everyone mentioned what they were going to do in the future.
Unfortunately, no one bothers to ask Bakura about his future, so we really don't see
what he has in store for the next 10 years of his life, especially once he
gets out of (high school). This was actually really depressing for me because I
really wanted to see what Bakura wanted to do with his life, especially after the
traumatizing experiences he had with Yami-Bakura. I hate being so nitpicky, but
this was something that just could not be ignored, so I had to focus on it:
Bakura's age. When the anime started, he was a first-year high schooler (in) Japan,
which is equivalent to a sophomore in the United States. Most sophomores begin
when they're 15 and end when they're 16, so he's around that age when the anime
starts. Most commonly in animes, a season represents a year. Since there are five
seasons in the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, that would mean that five years have
passed. (Those of you who don't really believe in that theory, we'll just say
that it was three years that the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! series took place)
Despite cutting out two years, he still would end up to be 20 or 21 years old, if
this were reality!! But the movie only portrays him being 18 or 19 and ready to
graduate high school. (This entire inaccuracy is based on
estimations and theories, so you can't take my word for it).
Let's see what the
DSoD did right about Bakura. I loved the idea that DSoD
uses different outfits for different situations. You see one outfit
being worn by Bakura at the mall. Then, you see him when he's walking with
Aigami, he has a different outfit. It also shows him in a school uniform
and it really gives a good and unique perspective on the characters and how
they go about their everyday lives, especially in school and out of school.
It was wonderful to see the characters in different outfits in different
situations because a lot of the time, anime characters usually wear the
same things, and that gets a little stale after a while, so this was a very unique approach.
Another great thing that DSoD s did was included
Bakura's popularity with female students. A lot of the times, when we think about
Bakura, we think about drooling fangirls and DSoD definitely
delivered that. In the scene where the main characters are eating lunch at the
mall, Anzu (Téa) actually points out some female observers that are hiding behind
a pillar and staring at Bakura. One thing I really did appreciate about the
English version of DSoD is when they point out the fact that he
has a British accent. The British accent is something that is entirely unique to
the English dub and it's something that really fits Bakura well.
Honda (Tristan) actually states:
"It's the accent. Gets 'em every time."
The funniest thing is that this isn't even the first time
that it's mentioned. The first time [in the movie] Bakura's accent was pointed out was when
Yugi and Anzu (Téa) were in the school yard and he was being surrounded by females.
They made the assumption that his accent was the reason why he was so popular
among female students. (Girls love British accents.)
Another great thing they did to develop
Ryou's character was the fact that they didn't mention Yami-Bakura once, except
for the scene where his presence was relevant. This really allowed the writers
to focus on good Bakura and developing his character more than spending time on
what kind of evil sinister thing Yami-Bakura was going to do next.
This last point isn't really a negative, but rather it was very bittersweet.
At the end of the movie, when the Japanese credits are playing, we see the
main characters (along with Bakura) throwing their graduation caps in the
air, ready to face their futures and whatever the world has in store for them next.
For viewers that have been watching since Yu-Gi-Oh! first aired, it was a really
bittersweet moment, watching the characters grow up and being able to
keep track of them as they did so. I don't know about you, but it definitely
made me feel more connected to the characters and make them seem more
realistic. In ways overall, Bakura's character was really well done in
DSoD and there wasn't really much to complain about.
That was the first analysis that I ever did so if you guys really liked it, please like and
be sure to subscribe for more videos! I'm really considering doing another video
about Bakura, but before that, I'd really like to try and get out at Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
character analysis for you guys. I'm not entirely certain which character I'm
going to do yet, but I'll let you guys know as soon as I do, so be sure to watch
for the notifications when I come out with a new video. Thank you
you guys for watching, and I'll see you next time! :)
