Thanks for all the added information. I did know that bit about HaneKuribou and Yuugi's role in the first episode so I still think that thing is kinda creepy.
That god cards but not god cards thing sizzles my brain. And I know I should't mock Juudai's cards because yeah, Yami uses some pretty crappy ones at times too. But Bubbleman vs. Blue Eyes? It was just too easy. But then again, I'm insanely fond of dragons in Yugioh.
About the Duel Monster land thing, they must have stolen that from Doma since that's the only time Yuugi truly interacted with the Duel Monster world. Except for in Noa's arc when they could all talk to their monsters, as you reminded me. I forgot about that comparison.
I like it that you suggest Manjoume is more like Ren since I adore that sort of archetype.
I admit when I first heard about GX, the loss of my favorite characters was enough to force me away, like in the later Digimon season. But seeing that it's presently developing plot, I might try looking for it again. If that fails, there's always badly dubbed GX and finding comparisons on the Internet like Cody's page.
