| abstract | - In the Yu-Gi-Oh universe, there are many stories that one could easily miss. Particularly since they are told by small images and few descriptions on the printed trading cards. Since they have no official name, let's just call them Yu-Gi-Oh Metaplot . One of the most outstanding things about these stories is that they are not completely fan made speculation, but plenty of them are very easy to link if you pay attention. Perhaps one case of Show, Don't Tell at it's finest. While now they are less common, there was a time where many cards included easily linkable images, and thus stories could be crafted after them. Not always, but some Archetype can get some metaplots too. Also, some video games try to take this stories further, like "World Championship 2008" having Giga Gagagigo (that fellow to your right) complaining about how he lost his soul. Obviously, these cards are used as resource for fan fics writers, trying to explain their stories or giving them new meanings.
