Re: Was ______ really canon?

"Evil" isn't really accurate, IMO. Extremely ruthless and rather sadistic, yeah, but his motives were never really evil. He did a lot of really bad things, like murder people and drive multiple people insane, as punishment for hurting his friends, or to protect them. Some of this was extremely disproportionate to the crime, like turning people blind or blowing them up with gunpowder in response to just regular old high school bullying, but other times he wasn't really all that disproportionate, because the bullies were often life-threateningly violent/potential rapists, and there were some straight-up adult villains.

He also developed a lot in terms of becoming more merciful and reasonable, and very steadily, through the first 50 chapters or so until he got to the point where he was on the heroic side of "anti-hero."

And no, he was nothing like the Duel Monsters version of Yami Bakura. If anything, he was the exact opposite. Yami Bakura saw Ryou as a body he needed to use in order to carry out his plans, and didn't give a shit about anybody else. Yami Yugi was obsessively devoted to his friends to the point of terrorizing anyone who hurt them. In the manga, it's a bit different but that's kind of tl;dr.
