and i think it's abundantly clear that the artists creating these cards are meticulous about character details - so if Legendary Secret was meant to be Shogun Shien, I doubt they would have made the armour look so different! There's even a TRULY accurate Shogun Shien on a card from 2017 btw! (8/x)

anyway, i'm getting off-track - i'm annoyed that people assume the Legendary Secret is Great Shogun Shien's spirit after he loses a battle to Kagemusha/Shadow-Shien in "Face-Off" the thing is, we don't know if he loses! as far as we know, the fight ends "Evenly Matched" with no resolution! (7/x)

PoggieB @poggie.be · 09/09/2026

but there's EVEN MORE to that story, because Mizuho's necklace might belong to ANOTHER character who's got this long-standing dynamic (possibly beef?) with the archetype's OG staple card?? and this story goes as far back as ONE OF THE FIRST YUGIOH CARDS, Kagemusha of the Blue Flame?? (6/x)

Collage of Yu-gi-oh! Card art, featuring cards:
Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En
Tenkabito Shien
Great Shogun Shien
Legendary Lord Six Samurai - Shi En
Unification
Kagemusha of the Blue Flame
Shadow of the Six Samiurai - Shien
Kagemusha of the Six Samurai
Stand-Off
Face-Off
Evenly Matched

Art of:
Kagemusha of the Six Samurai
Kagemusha of the Blue Flame
Shadow of the Six Samurai - Shien

Kagemusha of the Blue Flame eventually becomes the Shadow of the Six Samurai - Shien

There's a blown-up image of Shien's necklace as well, which is the same as Hatsume & Shinai's

4 cards with blown up images of the same necklace

but to get a bit deeper for a sec, did you know they may have had a CHILD? The Secret Six Samurai - Hatsume (2024) coincidentally takes the highest ATK/DEF between the two, is Water like Shinai, shares his hair colour, and has an effect tributing AND reviving cards! and hidden in her art... (5/x)

PoggieB @poggie.be · 09/09/2026

you can tell from the names and pictures that they were obviously linked in some way - and in their "future" art, it seems Shinai died while Mizuho hung up her armour and began training the next generation of the Six Samurai let's see if the cards have anything to say about that! (4/x)

100 1

PoggieB @poggie.be · 09/09/2026

for a micro-dose of the narratives these cards can tell, and how they use the art/effects to tell them, i'll use 4 pieces of card art: - The Legendary Six Samurai - Shinai (2011) - The Legendary Six Samurai - Mizuho (2011) - Spirit of the Six Samurai (2007) - Hand of the Six Samurai (2008) (3/x)

PoggieB @poggie.be · 09/09/2026

-doesn't match ANY other Six Samurai cards!! and trust me, i've checked! about a year ago, i made a massive board of every card i could find that featured the Six Samurai because i was curious what the whole narrative was surrounding them, and it's become a real rabbit hole situation (2/x)

PoggieB @poggie.be · 09/09/2026

so, Yu-Gi-Oh has been sitting on a card called "Legendary Secret of the Six Samurai" for a few years now, and when new support drops, i'm really hoping we get more lore behind it. a lot of people assume this card is the armour of Great Shogun Shien, but it's NOT - in fact, this design (1/x)

thinking about this dweeb in the Yugioh OCG Structures manga who goes to a local tournament, trounces the protagonist with a meta deck (giving him an awful first tournament experience), then BMs instead of going for the handshake “don’t bother wishing me luck” YOU’RE 3 APPLES TALL

“Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures” manga panel where a dweeb is walking past the protagonist’s handshake offer. absolute diva, zero notes.

panels read “You had fun losing? I’m disappointed”

mind you, this kid is a full head shorter than the protagonist, he wears a big alien head on his belt buckle and massive big-eyed sunglasses, also a cape. his name is Saiko Tendo, and everyone calls him “Psychic Tendo”, and none of these design elements point to the fact he plays an Eldlich deck in this chapter of the manga. he’s kind of a legend for that.

this manga takes place in “the real world” by the way, and most characters wear normal people clothes.

another panel, this fuckin kid is walking down the stairs and giving 3’ Piccolo aura. protagonist’s eyes are blacked out, so are the TO’s, while this kid says “Don’t bother wishing me luck.”

they somehow drew this absolute dork in an extremely cool way

back in 2022 i had the idea for a "Hamilton x Destiny 2" animatic following the death of Cayde in Forsaken - i drew this before i had to leave for work that day, and then never touched it again but now i kinda want to revisit this because the concept goddamn ruled

a struggle i've had with these models is making a shader where coloured light doesn't wash out the textures - it felt overwhelming to even TRY figuring out why, but the fix was embarrassingly simple (literally one well-placed "multiply" node) now the models keep their rich colours! #b3D #GooEngine

PoggieB @poggie.be · 26/03/2026

i don't think i've publicly shared how the characters' expressions work yet! it's really simple, actually! each eye has a "tilt IN" and "tilt OUT" value, and a "Squint" and "Wide-Eyed" values that i can mix and match to make their faces more expressive if needed #b3d #gooengine

a 3x3 grid where the horizontal axis shows the character with "neutral", "squint", and "wide" eyes.
the vertical axis shows "straight", "tilted outward" and "tilted inward" eyes, indicating sadder or more angry expressions.

the Dragons Dogma twitter account made an anniversary picture that has people spiralling and hoping for a potential DLC announcement there’s a character in the background and a strange medallion next to the coins that aren’t found in the game, and the letter on the table references SOMETHING

Dragon’s Dogma 2 Twitter Account says:
Hail, Arisen! The 2nd anniversary of Dragon’s Dogma 2 is upon us. To celebrate the milestone, we’ve prepared this special celebratory artwork.

Thank you for your support!

#DragonsDogma2 #DD2 #2YearDD2

in the far background of the announcement post, a Beastren with a long braid stands with their back to the camera.
their armour and furs are asymmetrical, and are not a piece of obtainable gear in the base game.

a translation of the letter on the table reads
“sightings of griffins flying in from the northern region of organ have been confirmed”

when i was showing the original to friends, more than half of them read it as sneezing - so this was a great chance to ask myself "how do i make this read as the INTENDED action?" i adjusted the poses/timing for a while, but i also realized that throwing subtlety out the window works too!
