Hello! Submitted this tag last night through the Google form because I have no idea how to disembaguate a crossover WB tag, lol.
WB: The Transition Years Between YGO DM and YGO GX
(I might have phrased it slightly differently I only went “maybe I should explain” today.)
So in the YGO anime timeline, GX takes place an ambiguous number of years after DM. We know some things that had to happen in that time—professional dueling becomes a thing, Kaiba builds Duel Academia, Kaiba sends some trading cards to space, the initial Yubel incident leading into Judai having brain surgery to forget them (god I love YGO lol), Yugi apparently gets like, really buff.
What we don’t know is the how or why we get from the end of DM to GX and how those events all end up happening. This worldbuilding tag is an excuse for someone to explore that! What’s Kaiba Corp up to? Why did Kaiba decide to send trading cards to space? Hey Pegasus is canonically alive in the GX timeline that’s cool! Baby Judai shenanigans in this transitional period. Why did dueling get so popular?
I decided it was a crossover tag because it’s a tag that makes the most sense to write from the perspective of DM but requires a complete working knowledge of GX. So I’m happy to inaugurate crossover worldbuilding tags! However if you think this makes more sense as a “what happens pre-canon” GX tag or a “what happens post-canon taking GX as canon” DM tag for “making what fandom it belongs in” less complicated, I’m fine with that too.

Hopefully that helps!
