In memory of Mr. Kazuki Takahashi

It was confirmed yesterday that Mr. Takahashi died in a diving accident. As a poker player who has been exposed to Yu-Gi-Oh anime since the second or third grade of elementary school, I was still a little confused when I first heard the news.

It can be said that the anime and manga "Yu-Gi-Oh!" have accompanied me throughout my childhood, junior high school, high school and college years. After I was admitted to graduate school, I slowly quit due to experimental reasons, but even so, Yu-Gi-Oh! is still my favorite No matter how many books I write about my favorite anime in the future, how high a degree I get, or how high my achievements are, I can no longer forget the anticipation I had when I was in elementary school when I turned on the TV every night to catch up on Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, and I will never forget it. The excitement I felt when I put together my first deck.

The touches in these memories are precious, just like the eternal marks engraved in our long lives, or in other words, these small memories provide us with the courage to persevere in the face of setbacks, sadness, and failure. Our lives It is supported by such bits and pieces of touching and happiness.

The death of Mr. Takahashi is like the end of an era. Although Konami is still selling cards, when the 30th and 40th anniversaries of Yu-Gi-Oh! Card, I will never see the theatrical version designed by Mr. Takahashi again.

This is an extremely regrettable and sad thing for me, and all of us Yu-Gi-Oh fans.

But no matter we can no longer accept this matter, we all know that the resurrection of the dead does not exist in reality. We can only accept the reality and wish Mr. Takahashi a good journey.

Finally, thank you Mr. Kazuki Takahashi for creating the happy Yu-Gi-Oh World for us.

ps: I also wish the whole family good luck.
