Yugioh! Witchy Women
Isis, Kisara, and Mai alternate profile. First AMV I ever made! An explanation of the musical bridge: It starts out w/ Seto being his usual jack@$$ self, talking to Kisara, doing his denial thing. When civil conversation fails, she tries to convince him of the reality of mystic power by bringing her awesome power down on his head and turning him into a dragon. -When he comes back to himself, he's with Isis. She's like, "see the light now?" He responds with his usual "it's gotta be drugs! You sexy freak." theory. Isis, amazed at his capacity for denial, decides to shove 'da mystic power up his nose, and uses her ancient power to... chibify him? Yeah. The stone tablet is just poking fun at YGO's bondage theme. -Then we have Mai, encountering Joey. "She's a witch! Burn 'er!" He reacts in typical Joey fashion to seeing a pretty girl, and makes the mistake of hitting on her. Mai, thinking he's awefully cute for an idiot, decides to add him to her collection- Of replenishable human hair extensions! Or something. Seto is Mokuba's brother, just like Joey is Serenity's. Thus, their lines at the "let me tell you, brother" bit. Don't Bakura and Malik just look like they're whispering dirty little secrets? "there's some rumors going 'round." Tea, Duke, Yami, and Tristen have a cameo. Sadly, Yugi, namesake of Yugioh, is not appearing in this film. And that's my character, Callipso at the end, with her name in Egyptian carved on the top of her chair.
