and poor Summoned Skull ended up sort of glossed over as just one of Yugi's many monsters, with Dark Magician ending up stealing the mascot status.Īnyway, Skully here is actually a pretty neat skull demon fiend. See, Yu-Gi-Oh the manga actually ran for quite some time with Yugi alternating between various twisted games before going full-on into the card game thing when they had a great merchandising partnership going on. Summoned Skull is actually Yugi's original ace monster, from the stories of Yu-Gi-Oh before the card game segments. Again, these early sets of Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't actually have a lot of actual thematic cohesion beyond 'okay, let's put in a bunch of cards from the anime episodes that would be airing at around this point, as well as a bunch of random filler!' Which, despite its name, doesn't actually have a whole ton of Machine monsters.
This time around we're going to be talking about the second card expansion of Yu-Gi-Oh, Metal Raiders.
