I was casually browsing the internet as i generally do from day to day when suddenly i stumble across information about a Yu-Gi-Oh arc. An arc apparently going by the name of "Yu-Gi-Oh Capsule Monsters".
Now the more YGO obsessed fans out there will be able to tell you about a bit of the manga as well as an episode or two of series 0 titled capsual monsters... which at first i presumed the people at this website were sadly confusing things with while getting their hopes up. However i took one look at the screenshots ((which i will post at the end of this)) and well... i was just left a tad confused about everything.
Now I've already checked out several major and well known yu-gi-oh sites including Janime, YGOL and most importantly the 4kids website.... all to no avail. 4kids.tv happens to have not a single mention of this apparent new saga despite the fact that the 4kids standard logo happens to be showing in the ending credits like they do with every normal episode. Janime happens to have a topic where everyone is just plain confused... and YGOL has not one single mention of this. However you guys are more then welcome to try searching any other sites that come to mind.
Anyways after a couple of hours of searching the internet I managed to find the link to where i can download one of these rumoured "capsule monsters" episodes which apparently are airing in Ireland at the moment ((unfortuantly i don't know anyone who lives around there who can confirm that it really is showing on TV there)). Maybe there's something wrong with the codec or my computer though because although i could get the whole episode to play there isn't any sound whatsoever.... although nobody else seems to be complaining about lack of sound.
At the opening credits of this saga we are shown bits from all of the previous saga opening credits as well as 'captual monster' bits. I must admit it's very well put together... shows all the major bad guys in series order starting with Pegasus and moving though to Marik, Dartz and lastly theif king Bakura ((sorry Noah and that purple haired moron's fans... no sign of those 2)). It also shows a tiny bit of Seto... but unlike Yugi, Joey, Tea, Tristan and Grandpa he doesn't have a new and better outfit nor does he have any of the capsual monsters gear. O yeah, they also show 3 seconds of both the legendary dragons and the three egyptian god cards in the opening credits as well ((which might i add the credits are dub style, not Japanese)).
This of course raises a few very confusing questions. IF this series really does exist why on earth do we still have the millenium items as well as the annoying-as-hell pharoah? When would this series exist in the YGO timeline? Is it AU or alternate YGO universe kinda like the english YGO movie ((in the episode i downloaded Joey happens to have no troubles flying on the back of his baby dragon))? And most puzzling of all... why on earth has nobody heard of anything to do with this apparent saga until now?
Anyways here are the screenshots. See what you guys all think of it.
EDIT:- Found a site where somebody has taken screenshots of the episode i downloaded. Link is photobucket.com/albums/v142/PDUTogepi/Capsule/?start=0 ... note of course that the pictures from the start of the episode are on the last page and the pics from towards the end are on the 1st.
