Battle City Broads

Just dropping in to let everyone know this podcast is not dead! :)

s2 e27 "Friends til the End, pt 2" Shorter episode this week as we only cover a single episode of the show, but there were just too many Feelings for us not to slow down a little. Listen in as we discuss whether this is a Shadow Game or not, inheriting your boyfriend's boyfriend, and All Of Our Feelings. Plus some recommendations for addicting card games & sapphic tv shows, and our new contender for "best thing written on a sign in the background of an episode" SHOW NOTES: - Screenshot of Marik posing like the dramatic gay that he is

s2 e25-26 "The Rescue" / "Friends til the End, pt 1" How can the power of friendship prevail, if Yugi is forced to fight his best friend?? Before we can approach the emotional devastation that will be the answer to that question, we first have to get through a brief clip show recap episode with an even weirder framing device. Listen in as we delve into podcast-typical overanalysis of Kaiba's psyche, whether or not 4kids can say the word "drown", our favorite recap episodes in other tv shows (is it possible to do them well?), an open request to give Jenny infectious diseases, and more.

s2 e23-24 "Double Duel" Yami & Kaiba conclude their tag team duel against Marik's masked duo. Tune in for one of our more tangent-filled episodes to hear us discuss how a portal can fly, Anzu's secret weakness, and Kaiba's secret official theme song. Plus some brief IRL anecdotes about fixing things around our houses (one of these things will surprise you) Content warning: uhhh we made a few jokes about 9/11, that might be in poor taste

s2 e21-22 "Double Duel" Two weird Rare Hunter guys get Yami & Kaiba into a tag duel that tests the power of their teamwork. Can they work together well, or will Kaiba be so annoying about it that it even annoys the massive Kaiba fans on this podcast? There's also another really terrible 4kids censoring, futher intricacies of the Yami Bakura & Marik situation, and a manga/anime difference which conclusively proves once and for all that dueling is just gay sex (as we've always said)

s2 e19-20 "Legendary Fisherman" Our favorite freaky fish guy returns to challenge Joey to an aquarium duel! In this aquatic episode we discuss a peek into the life of an average Domino City working mom, asking a man to give you his [Millennium] rod, and new levels of Kaiba pettiness. Also, somehow not the first reference to a weird plot point from Ultimate Fantastic Four that Ellie has made on this podcast. Content warning: very brief discussion of animal abuse (because 4kids just kept making SeaWorld references)

s2 e17-18 "Mime Control" How is it possible to defeat a God Card with seemingly infinite power? Listen in as we discuss Yami's answer to that question, featuring unironically excellent card game moments, and (surprise surprise) Prideshipping being very real. Plus, some real-life updates, why Jenny is secretly under an Amish luck blessing, and another round of our ship guessing game.

s2 e16-17 "Mime Control" Warning: this episode contains discussion of mimes, slimes, good times, and Grimes (for some reason). Yami faces off against Marik-via-proxy in his first duel against a God Card, but is Slifer's power truly limitless? Plus, some of our media recommendations and all the usual tangential nonsense. NOTES: -This was recorded wayyy back in February, hence the discussion of New Years resolutions near the beginning of the episode

s2e14-15 "Playing with a Parasite" Everyone's favorite weird little guy Weevil Underwood returns to hassle Joey, in this set of episodes that we weren't expecting to like - but found ourselves feeling surprisingly bug-positive. Also featuring the return of Yugioh's secret Nietzschean agenda, our overall thoughts on the general concept of bugs, and some interesting manga details.

s2e12-13 "The Master of Magicians" We return! Yugi finishes his duel with Pandora, the fellow Dark Magician master, in a set of episodes that left us mostly amused but ocassionally perturbed. Listen in to hear us talk about the debut of Dark Magician GIRL (can you believe they made a girl one?), which Yugioh character is the most divorced, and a Back Reveal. Plus, some video game recommendations and shipping game frustration. Content warning: Brief mentions of suicide
