my quick stay in Japan (ygo spotting post)

i had to hang-dry my clothes for the first time in a lonnngg time T0T but good thing the weather was mild, so everything dried relatively quick! i got a few days to myself where i visited anime shrine cities (akihabara 秋葉原 / ikebukuro 池袋) for BL stuff and YGO stuff :O LOOK AT THIS HAUL!!!

check out those metal diecast millennium items!!!!!

skdjkjsd as always my lighting is bad and my photography skills are lacking (why do i always manage to take blurry-ass pics?!?!!) (but they’re so cool they’re so cool i would wear them as a necklace or something!! AND i have extras! so PM me if you want some of my spares!) in order to get this home, i was that sweaty otaku with bulky bags hugged to my chest on the crowded train. also my doujinshi were wrapped in a black plastic bag, making it suuper obvious that yes, i had just bought porn. likeeeeeeeeee...regrets? do i have any? nope. shame? do i have any? also nope.

pretty happy with it all because: A) i finally FINALLY after all my yEArS in the YGO fandom, i’ve managed to purchase those nitotan plush keychains directly from the shonen jump shop (BIG SIGH OF RELIEF)

B) i also managed to grab the exclusive jump festa playmat (stock photo here cuz im seriously running out of room in my room to take photos of things, and it was quite big... ><\)

C) and managed to get card packs with awesome yami art on it >D bwhehe

The line in the jump shop was long because there was a Haikyuu! fan crowd, but i survived with minimal embarrassment lol

i also dug through a ton of k-books stores to find ygo rubber keychains + sleeves!

(it was 13JPY for 5 charms. ouch. thats 2 meals right there lel)

8JPY for a pack of used sleeves....hey, im just glad something was there!

ygo duel monsters the original series has died a bit because vrains is what’s popular now, and all of the “old stuff” has been delegated to

like, look at this...

i was so tempted to ask the store attendant if i could just buy the cardboard cutout of kaiba x) BUT A DARK MAGICIAN CARD IS 8,500?!? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!?

i also saw the legendary million-yen Blue Eyes card in the case next to Yami

?!??!

there are too many zeros! and yami looks so cool there aaaaaaaaaa

next shelf down was -merch- and tbh idk why these are so hype? or maybe its just prone to theft? its 12 bucks for a yugi keychain...idk why it has to be behind glass, there was plenty of room on the sales floor

next is MCDONALD’S SPECIALS

- is speechless - so i’ll just spam photos now.

these were papered on the walls from floor to ceiling so intensely, it was a bit overwhelming

wanted!! god cards! will pay thousands! uwu - seto kaiba

OK enough of those.

next i saw the MOST DECEPTIVE gachapon toy machines

there was YGO posters on the sides but the toys inside were just some random robot shit :/ i was mad disappointed yo.

lastly, this is my favorite cardboard cutout stand, but it was SOO HIGH UP ON THE SHELF it kept reflecting the lights from above, so this was the best photo i could manage

they look so coollll oueoiauiekuhus

and this was taken on my tippy toes, so pls excuse the blurriness. AND YEP. that’s all the ygo spotting i managed to do while in akihabara and ikebukuro! (i’ll make a separate post for the doujinshi!)

finally, here are some scenic pics from the rest of my trip!

the giant gundam unicorn in daiba

sumo lanterns in uedo park

the ferris wheel + “wa” themed lights at tokyo dome (xmas is here!)

more “wa” lights at tokyo dome. so freaking prettyyyy Ovo

one shot of the enormous buildings while i passed thru ginza >//<

:D yayy that was most of it! please let me know if you wanna see more pics from my trip >D i have plenty of blurry shots of scenery and other menial things, like road signs and cars lol!

hugs, Ugli
