Yu-Gi-Oh! Engrish Comic of the Bootleg Kind

So a few years ago when Yu-Gi-Oh was popular and was everywhere there were a lot of bootleg items around. Here are some of the bootleg items I have; a cup, a bowl, a bag/purse and fake cards. I think I paid no more than $2-3 for any of them. Here is a picture of the fake deck box. Sorry the box is crushed. I accidentally stepped on it at my old house. I have no idea who that guy is on the front of the box with the fire coming out of his hand. Maybe he is The Pyro Mr. Volcano. The other guy is obviously Joey. I think I bought it because Joey is on the box. I don’t know if you can make it out but it says Konami on the top left side of the box.
Box Front
The back of the box has the same picture of The Pyro Mr. Volcano on it and a picture of Bakura with an injured arm.
Box Back
I got this funny mini comic in a pack of bootleg cards. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever read! I scanned it for the purposes of this blog, but then I realized this comic is hard to read in real life. So I will make a transcript of it for you. I did not clean up the grammar or anything. I think “Dammed” is to signify a monster being destroyed. It’s used a lot in the comic. I will be using the dub names. They are used in the comic. This takes place during the Duelist Kingdom story arch. They have star chips.

There are also some instructions for playing the card game on the last page. There is an “04” at the bottom of the page. I think it was taken from a player’s guide or something. Here’s what it says:

NOTE: This Starter Deck contains 50 cards, so you will need more cards to create a Side Deck.

In any match, the Deck and Side Deck combined cannot contain more than 3 copies of the same card. Also, be aware of Forbidden and Limited Cards, p.35.

GAMEPLAY
In accordance with the Official Rules, a Duel is conducted in the following manner:

Before you start a Duel, greet your opponent with a friendly handshake.

Both players shuffle their respective Decks and them to their opponent to shuffle (this is called cutting the Deck). The Decks are the returned to their owners and placed face-down in their respective Deck Zones on the Game Mat (the Game Mat p.6.).

When using Fusion Monster Card(s), place the card(s) face-down on the Fusion Deck Zone of the Game Mat. A Fusion Deck is a card or a group of cards consisting only of Fusion Monsters formed by fusing 2 or more monsters during a Duel (Fusion Monsters, p. 10).

Note: The cards of the Fusion Deck are NOT counted in the 40 cards minimum of the Deck.

Show your opponent that your Side Deck contains exactly 15 cards (the cards may be counted face-down). When your Side Deck cards are exchanged with those in your Deck, count the cards of your Side Deck with your opponent once again to verify that the Deck still contains the same number of cards.

For the first Duel in a Match, decide who starts first with a coin toss.
