Something about this seems fishy (no pun intended). Like he was in shallow water with snorkeling gear on. Did someone drown him or something?
 
I have to severly hold any uninformed yugioh memes back!
Soory that im not sad but i didnt even read the manga!
It could be that maybe he was intoxicated and thought he could stay underwater with the snorkling gear u thougfht that as a kid too!
 
I've read the Manga and the Duel Monsters anime was the first anime that I've ever watched. This man's craft was the reason why I was able to get into Egyptian mythology and mythology in general. It's a shame that he passed in such a terrible manner. Rest In Peace, Takahashi Kazuki.

I'm late to this, but this is unfortunate. Yu-Gi-Oh! was a classic.

Same here. I didn't watch enough of Yu-Gi-Oh but it was awesome until the bigger baddies came. The red dragon was the last consumption of the show. The other show ruined it, IMHO.
