>>58696927>Pokémon aren't tools of war, but duel monsters areDid you even watch Pokémon? They are quite literally use as replacement for gun. There are 3000 year ago war where pokemon were used as a tool to fight and movie 08 also shown pokémon being used for war 100 years ago. If anything, Duel monster are not tools for war, they are tool for children card game. Duelist needs magic, millennium item or psychic powers to manifest duel monster in physical world.
Many Yugi supporters also doesn't understand how card effects work. They think Time Wizard can control time because it has time in his name instead of his actual effect.
Then there is the Death part in Deathbattle. Even if Atem wins the shadow game, he doesn't kill people though penalty. Many despicable people were alive despite the penalties from shadow game. Atem on first episode mention shadow game reveal a person true nature and Ash's nature is even more pure than Atem. But somebody has to die in Deathbattle and I don't see Horakthy banishing Ash like an evil spirit like Zorc.
On the other hand, Yami Yugi needs to use his own Ka aka life force to summon duel monster in physical world therefore if they get destroyed than he actually takes the damage which was shown during millennium arc. You can say that Atem took no damage from his monster being destroyed on leviathan arc but that because Dartz and Leviathan weakening the barrier between physical world and spirits world allowing duel monster to cross over to physical world without needing Ka. If Atem manifest duel monster to fight Ash in a monster battles & Ash destroy his monsters than it will depict his Life point aka Ka which was proven when Zorc destroyed Yugi's Datk Magician.
