My work doesn't end here! There's still more editing and influence I've had on this episode... more to come when the full deal is out hehehe...

Soon as I got the script and saw they were referencing the infamous "Delinquent Duo" incident (in which at a real life tournament, a couple guys intentionally brought a 2,222 deck to force Konami to change the YGO deck size limit), I knew I had to (voluntarily) draw this haha ❤️‍🔥

Thank you guys for the warm reception to the preview. I'm very proud of the work my friends and I did, and there's a lot more you guys haven't seen yet! Get ready for one hell of an episode!

By the way, remember when I said I was also an artist for this episode? I drew this!

It's duel or die when the monarch meets the king - get ready for the battle of your life!

Ash Ketchum VS Yugi Muto is coming soon to DEATH BATTLE!

We stayed up until 5 am for this entire sequence btw - everyone show some love to Jacob because he worked really hard on this edit LOL

Best is yet to come too!

Little fun fact for ya, that's my Pokédex toy during this sequence! I snapped a pic and rendered it out for @jukem.bsky.social to use. Figured if we were gonna showcase Pokémon's impact on culture, we might as well have something straight out of Pokémania! (It's also part of my shrine!)

LOOKING FOR LOST MEDIA: Japanese Pokémon/Yu-Gi-Oh parody video, likely some kind of "【MAD】" edit.

If anyone is able to find this for me, that'd be incredible! Details below!

Slight update to the Ash VS Yugi workstation shrine:

Keep an eye on your emails ya'll, my Boomstick plush finally shipped out.

Does anyone know if this artwork variant of Ra ever received a gold rarity release? I remember obtaining the Obelisk and Slifer variants in gold when all the different Dark Side of Dimensions tie-in cards were going out, but I don't think Ra was part of any set related to that.

"How is Yugi supposed to fight in a DEATH BATTLE?"
"Yu-Gi-Oh has drastically different rules than Pokémon"
"Aren't all the monsters holograms??"

The answers to all your questions lie... in reading the entire manga run, or watching the entire anime series from start to finish.

Like many others, Ash and Yugi were pillars of my childhood, and my time in content creation all began with Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh.

So to be able to get the chance to work on a major project featuring the two alongside many talented individuals gets me all the more pumped up!

If you guys are doing binge-throughs of Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh in preparation for the episode, I HIGHLY recommend checking this film out. It is an epilogue to the original manga with the involvement of the series' late, great creator Kazuki Takahashi, and beautifully animated.

Seeing a lot of people confused about the space station at the start of the Ash/Yugi trailer

This is the KaibaCorp space station from Dark Side of Dimensions. You actually see it in the first minute or so of the film (no, this is not where Kaiba is "training aliens to duel" lol)

Alright so context for this, now that the secret's out

Yeah, this was the day I was knighted (and nervously praying that I give it my all for the team) JHKSDBFJKSDFSD

I have officially earned my right of passage /j

No but seriously though thank you DB Wiki (specifically
@aethan48.bsky.social 🙏)

...Really feels surreal.

I cannot wait for you all to see the finished product. It's all hands on deck, and everyone is putting their all into it. There's more people I gotta shout-out after the fact.

I love you all. Thank you for everything. Please look forward to it.

Never give up on your dreams - believe in yourself, and miracles can happen.

14 years and over 200 episodes later, I am proud to say that I am finally, officially working on an episode of DEATH BATTLE.

I am one of your editors (and artists) for the DB '25 finale, Ash VS Yugi.

Speaking as one of the DB community's biggest Shantae supporters (and I mean GENUINE supporters), my hot take of the day is...

Her loss on the island was a necessary evil. I don't trust some of ya'll to make the right MU choice. LOL

Our girl is safe, for now. 🍵

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc

Pretty fun time! Glad to be back into CSM after a hot minute, lot of great visuals and character moments. Reze was a blast.

A lot of them actually.
