Why Is Gx So Important for the Franchise?
Jaden’s Adventure Has Become As Iconic As Yugi’s
Yu-Gi-Oh! GXfollows the adventures of Jaden Yuki, a freshman student of Kaiba’s Duel Academy who wishes to become the next King of Games. While the first few episodes of the show focused on his daily life on the school’s island, it quickly became much more. As his time as a student progresses, the protagonist begins to unravel several plots to take over the world. From deities of darkness prophesied to end the world toone of the strongest villains in the franchise, Jaden is tasked with protecting the Earth from being destroyed.
When it was first released,GXwas considered a fun and lighthearted successor to Yugi’s adventure that focused on the enjoyment of playing the card game. Yet, as its story played out, fans uncovered a much deeper and complex reality. WhileDuel Monstersis a story about Pharaoh Atem’s quest to save the universe,GXis a coming-of-age story about maturing and accepting responsibility. Jaden began the anime as a carefree and lazy student who simply wanted to enjoy his youth. By the end, he was an accomplished duelist who had saved the planet on several occasions.
The remastered edition ofYu-Gi-Oh! GXis an amazing way to honorone of the best seasons in the franchise. Once it begins airing, fans will be able to see their favorite duels once again, as well as remember the fond memories that Jaden and his friends gave them all those years ago.
