Trying to explain parents in Yu-Gi-Oh! like…

verybadmau:

This
is the protagonist, Yugi.

image

His
Dad is always out on business and is never home. This is his mother.

image

She
showed up in a total of one episode and doesn’t seem to have much
involvement in his life aside from proving Yugi wasn’t formed in a
test tube somewhere.

Yugi
is really raised by his Grandpa, Sugoroku.

image

He
used to be an avid gambler in his wilder days (but he won all the
time, so everyone treats it as a healthy hobby). He seems to have a
liberal policy regarding child rearing, so that’s why Yugi can go on
adventures with no real consequence to his home life. Why so many
adventures? Well, it’s because he’s inhabited by a Pharaoh.

image

This
is Atem. You get to see him as a baby in
the show,
but his mother is not shown, so we just
assume his father had relations with the hedgehog-headed
goddess of fertility off screen. This is his dad, Pharaoh
Akhenamkhanen.

image

He
left Atem a legacy and gave him some kingly advice before his
passing, but he also (unknowingly) gave the order to massacre an
entire village in order to create magical jewelry. This massacre was
initiated and led by his brother, Priest Akhenaden.

image

He
is the father of this guy, Priest Set.

image

Akhenaden
took control of his son’s mind and forsook his own humanity to serve
Egyptian Cthulhu.

image

Oh,
and that entire massacre I mentioned earlier? It led to the creation
of this guy.
