Konami is Hiding Something From You. YuGiOh is Not Safe.
This is not a joke. This is serious, deathly serious. I’ll just cut to the proof: if you just want to verify the image’s existence, here’s a link. If you wish to remain sane, leave that link unclicked. If you just want to know how something so accursed found its way onto Konami-owned servers, read on.
Here’s the story: a while back, YuGiOh‘s website used to host fanart. The page for it isn’t accessible anymore, totally isolated from the outside world, its horrors sealed away. …Okay to be fair, that’s a slight exaggeration – most of the art is “fine”. A few middling-quality pieces of art, some custom cards, the usual sort of thing you’d expect to see from a younger audience. It’s all quite tame and kinda wholesome. There’s just… one exception.
I’ll spare you the details. It’s not NSFW (though you’d certainly get some funny looks from anyone peering over your shoulder), it just places a scary amount of detail on the feet of two monsters, thrusting them front-and-center of the image so you have nowhere else to look… It’s foot fetish art, what did you expect?
As of now, you need an account to view the full image. All you can see without one is just a low-res icon. In theory, you should be able to access the full thing. But like… why would you want to do that? Ever?
This whole thing was recently excavated by MBT Yugioh, a popular youtuber and twitch streamer in the Yugioh sphere. Here’s the short video he made on the subject. Be warned, it does contain the image in question. I have kept you safe here – if you wish to keep your eyes untainted, venture no further.
