New Read - Animal Crossing: New Horizons Deserted Island Diary, Volume 10
This is, as always, an extremely silly and fun manga.
Volume 10 hit more of Happy Home Paradise, did some wedding season jokes, and other in jokes that are a lot funnier if you play Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
I do, so I really enjoyed it. Had a few chuckle out loud moments.
Lots of fun for Animal Crossing players.

Yu-Gi-Oh Destiny Board Traveler & World Championship Tournament 2004 with David (Anime Field Guide)
Some duels are fought with cards. Some are fought with dice. And then some… are fought with the Game Boy Advance’s eternal struggle against decent menu navigation. This week on Play Comics, we’re shuffling up and drawing into Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler and World Championship Tournament 2004, two games that take everything we love about Yu-Gi-Oh!, monsters, strategy, friendship laser beams, and cram it into a tiny cartridge that smells faintly of childhood and battery corrosion.
Joining Chris for this summoning circle of digital nostalgia is David from Anime Field Guide, who brings the kind of anime expertise that makes you question whether your life points can drop below zero if you cringe too hard at English dub dialogue. Together, they’ll explore why these particular duels feel like being trapped in a friendship-branded fever dream, complete with turn-based confusion and more “draw phase” puns than anyone asked for.
So grab your duel disk, blow into that GBA cartridge like it owes you rent, and prepare to enter a world where forbidden memories and confusing mechanics go hand-in-hand. It’s the heart of the cards… but maybe also a faint cry for a player’s guide.
Learn such things as:
- Whether the heart of the cards can survive low battery warnings.
- The surprising crossover between duel monsters and chaos theory.
- Why Destiny Board Traveler isn’t just Monopoly with a Yu-Gi-Oh skin.
- And so much more!
You can find David on BlueSky @anifieldguide.bsky.social, Threads @anifieldguide, and of course hear him over at Anime Field Guide.

If you want to hear Chris talk with Karrington Martin about the lessons we learned from children’s media and how crazy it is that we’re supposed to just forget about that now that we’re adults, then Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine is probably something you should check out.
A big thanks to The Monsters that Made Us and Worst Collection Ever for the promos today.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja with Cory Byrd (Byrds Eye View Comics)
Grab your custom jutsu hand seals and prepare to feel a crushing sense of inadequacy when comparing your reaction time to a ninja’s because we’re diving shadow clone deep into the first Naruto Ultimate Ninja game on PlayStation 2! This week we’re channeling our inner shinobi to explore how Bandai Namco took Masashi Kishimoto’s legendary manga about a determined orange-suited underdog and transformed it into a frantic button-mashing tournament fighter that somehow convinced an entire generation of fans that they could recreate iconic Naruto moments if they just hit the attack button fast enough and screamed at their TV harder than Naruto himself.
Released during the golden age of anime-to-console adaptations, the Naruto Ultimate Ninja games became the de facto way fans could live out their ninja fantasies—assuming your ninja fantasy involves janky camera angles, occasionally unresponsive inputs, and the kind of special effect visual soup that makes you wonder if you’re actually watching a jutsu or if your PS2 is just having a mild aneurysm. With fighters pulled straight from the Hidden Leaf Village and beyond, these games proved that sometimes the best way to honor a beloved manga is to give players the chance to make Naruto fight characters he had absolutely no reason to fight (looking at you, random filler villains).
This episode, we’re absolutely stoked to welcome Cory Byrd from Byrds Eye View Comics—a fellow enthusiast of all things sequential art and gaming who can probably explain why Naruto’s popularity transcended manga, anime, AND video games with the kind of clarity that makes marketing departments weep with envy. Together, we’ll investigate whether these games managed to capture the heart, humor, and hyperkinetic energy of Kishimoto’s creation, or if they just left us face-first in the dirt like Naruto at the beginning of the series.
So synchronize your chakra, practice your most devastating combo, and prepare for an episode that’s guaranteed to be more chaotic than a Sand Village invasion and infinitely more entertaining than watching filler arcs about onigiri eating contests.
Learn such things as:
- Can a game truly capture the experience of having ninjas solve political problems through friendship when there’s no friendship stat on the screen?
- How many ninja village headbands would it take to actually run an economy, or is that question unanswerable because the series never bothered explaining it?
- Is it more important for characters in a fighter to be balanced or accurate?
- And so much more!
You can find Cory on Instagram @ByrdsEyeOfficial, the Byrds Eye View Comics Facebook page, and of course his website Byrds Eyes View Comics.

Yu-Gi-Oh Dungeon Dice Monsters with Marcus Stewart (Game Informer)
Crack open your Millennium Puzzle and prepare to roll some incredibly awkward polygonal dice, because this week on Play Comics we’re delving into one of the most bewildering spin-offs to ever stumble out of the Yu-Gi-Oh universe! We’re talking about Yu-Gi-Oh Dungeon Dice Monsters for the Game Boy Advance—a game so determined to turn Kazuki Takahashi’s trading card phenomenon into a dungeon crawler that it somehow forgot to ask if it should.
Joining us for this delightfully confusing journey through Dungeon Dice Monsters is none other than Marcus Stewart from Game Informer, who’s armed with the kind of gaming knowledge that only comes from actually playing this thing. Whether he’s here to defend it, destroy it, or just figure out what the heck is happening on a 240p screen, we’re thrilled to have his voice in the mix as we attempt to understand why anyone thought “card game meets roguelike dice mechanics” was the logical next step for the King of Games.
So lock your monsters in the vault, prepare your dice for rolling, and get ready for an episode that’s far less about card strategy and far more about watching two people gradually lose their minds over a game that inhabits some kind of strange liminal space between “ambitious experiment” and “fever dream at a game arcade.” The dice have been cast. The dungeon awaits. Our sanity? Well, that’s negotiable.
Learn such things as:
- Does the dice-rolling mechanic create engaging strategic depth or just mask random chaos behind a veneer of math?
- Does the actual Dungeon Dice Monsters storyline tie-in justify the existence of this video game adaptation at all?
- Does the very small mention of what this game actually is give young gamers their first instance of bait and switch marketing?
- And so much more!
You can find Marcus over at Game Informer in either digital or physical format or on BlueSky @marcusstewart7

Yu-Gi-Oh Reshef of Destruction with Max Golden (The Pop Quiz Podcast)
Grab your duel disk and prepare for the ultimate test of patience, because this week on Play Comics we’re shuffling into the notoriously punishing world of Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction for Game Boy Advance! This 2003 Konami creation took the beloved manga and anime franchise and somehow managed to turn it into a gaming experience more brutal than being sent to the Shadow Realm by a pack of rare holographic cards.
Based on the wildly popular Yu-Gi-Oh series that taught an entire generation that the real power of friendship is having really expensive cards, Reshef of Destruction promised an epic adventure featuring Yugi, Joey, and the gang facing off against an ancient evil. What it delivered was a grinding experience so merciless that even seasoned duelists found themselves questioning their life choices faster than you can say “Exodia, obliterate!”
Joining us for this masochistic journey through the world of impossibly difficult AI opponents and deck-building restrictions is the absolutely delightful Max Golden from The Pop Quiz Podcast. When he’s not busy creating the most creative trivia games known to humanity or making movie nights infinitely more entertaining, Max brings his pop culture expertise to help us understand how this handheld nightmare somehow spawned from one of the most beloved franchises in entertainment history.
So dust off that Game Boy Advance, practice your most dramatic card-playing poses, and prepare for an episode that’s guaranteed to be more satisfying than finally beating that one opponent who’s been destroying your carefully crafted deck for the past three hours. We’ll explore whether this digital duel was faithful to its source material, or if it just left us feeling like we’d been trapped in our own personal tournament from Hell.
Learn such things as:
- Why does grinding for cards feel more exhausting than actually working a real job?
- What happens when the AI cheats harder than a politician during election season?
- How many times can you fight Yugi before you start questioning your sanity?
- And so much more!

CW: Spoiler: Fist of the North Star manga ending
The ending of the series has Kenshiro just...soldiering on.
It ends with him disconnected from everyone, acknowledging that he had his one great love who will be with him forever, and that the world still needs him to help.
So...he does.
The last panel of him just standing there ready to move on and fight, as needed, says it all.
His story is not over and may never be, so long as he is needed.

New Read - Fist of the North Star, Volume 18 (Viz Hardcover Edition)
The story has been wrapped up. Kenshiro returned Ryu home after teaching him all he can.
Ken and Rin. They're not end goals. I think we all knew that, even as Bat tried to force it to happen feeling unworthy of the woman he has loved since they were children. He was never competing with Kenshiro, though. He was fighting himself internally.
Ugh.
Love, again, a big story component.

Dragon Ball Z Budokai with Doc Issues (Capes on the Couch)
Gather around power-level enthusiasts and tournament fighters, because this week on Play Comics we’re charging up our ki and diving headfirst into the legendary slugfest that is Dragon Ball Z: Budokai for PS2 and GameCube. That’s right, we’re looking at the 2002 fighting game that asked the burning question “What if we took the first three arcs of Dragon Ball Z and squeezed them into a button-mashing experience that makes even the most patient Z-Fighter want to go Super Saiyan with frustration?”
Developed by Dimps and published by Infogrames (back when they still existed and weren’t just a nostalgic memory floating in gaming’s hyperbolic time chamber), this cel-shaded beatdown promised to let players experience everything from Raditz’s surprise family reunion to Cell’s perfectionist power trip. What it delivered was a fighting system so basic that even Yamcha could probably figure it out, paired with enough beam struggles to make your thumbs file for workers’ compensation.
Joining us for this Saiyan-sized discussion is the one and only Doc Issues from Capes on the Couch, because when you need someone to analyze the psychological implications of repeatedly punching people until they explode into light particles you call a professional. Together we’ll explore how this game managed to compress roughly 100 episodes of screaming, power-ups, and “next time on Dragon Ball Z” frustrating end caps into a tournament format that somehow made sense.
So grab your orange gi, practice your best Kamehameha stance, and prepare for an episode that’s over 9000 times more entertaining than waiting five episodes for Goku to finish charging his spirit bomb. Will this manga-to-game adaptation achieve its final form? Or will it get sent to Other World faster than you can say “Kakarot”? Time to find out if this Z-Fighter deserves a senzu bean or a one-way ticket to Snake Way!
Learn such things as:
- What happens when you try to balance Goku’s overwhelming power level against characters who can barely survive a Saibaman encounter?
- Is there a psychological explanation for why watching grown men scream for five minutes while powering up never gets old?
- What’s the secret to making players care about story mode when everyone already knows Goku’s going to win everything anyway?
- And so much more!
You can find Doc @CapesOnTheCouch on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and of course the Capes on the Couch website.

New Read - Animal Crossing: New Horizons Deserted Island Diary, Volume 9
Oof, forgot to post this yesterday for Manga Monday.
Anyway.
This manga is always fun. Always silly. Always full of in jokes based on real in game conversations and in game activities.
Seeing the characters jump in and loudly dance / sing around everyone else during Festivale was a lot of fun.

Since buying the Pokémon comic the other day I thought I'd share another picture of them all together.
I bought four of them in 2001!
I am seriously considering buying the remaining issues and completing them as they seem like really fun stories and I haven't given them the attention they deserve.

Yu-Gi-Oh Worldwide Edition – Stairway to the Destined Duel & Falsebound Kingdom with GothJon (2 ACT Podcast)
Welcome, card-slinging strategy seekers, to another episode of Play Comics where we shuffle through the deck of comic-to-game adaptations with all the precision of a first-turn Exodia draw gone horribly wrong! Today we’re summoning not one, but TWO Yu-Gi-Oh! adventures that took Yugi’s world from the small screen to handheld hysteria and living room chaos.
First up, we’re diving into Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition – Stairway to the Destined Duel for the Game Boy Advance, a portable card battler that somehow managed to cram the entire Battle City tournament into a device smaller than Joey’s brain capacity. Then we’re teleporting to the GameCube dimension with Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom, where virtual reality meets real-time strategy in a combination so bizarre it makes Kaiba’s obsession with ancient Egyptian card games seem perfectly reasonable.
Joining us for this interdimensional dueling discussion is the magnificent GothJon from the 2 ACT Podcast, whose expertise in anime, cinema, and all things delightfully dark makes him the perfect co-host to help us navigate these shadow realm gaming adventures. Whether we’re discussing the satisfying simplicity of portable dueling or the ambitious madness of strategic monster management, GothJon brings the kind of analytical insight that would make even Pegasus jealous.
So grab your duel disk, power up that millennium puzzle, and prepare for an episode that explores how faithfully these games captured the heart of the cards… or whether they sent us straight to the shadow realm of gaming disappointment. Will these Yu-Gi-Oh! adaptations prove they’ve got what it takes to stand the test of time, or will they end up banished to the extra deck of forgotten licensed gamesmes?
Time to duel… digitally!
Learn such things as:
- How well do these card games hold up these days with rules and metagame changes?
- Do you really need to be a character from the franchise to feel emerged into the franchise?
- Will Chris realize that he can watch the anime without playing the card game?
- And so much more!
You can find GothJon on YouTube @gothjon, the 2 ACT Podcast on Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts.
