"Everybody loves stuffed animals, so let's include one in the manga to draw more readers!" becomes "Everybody loves stuffed animals, so let's keep this one in when we do the anime. Here, we'll even put it in the opening!" becomes "Everybody loves stuffed animals, so let's make it possible for people to actually buy this stuffed animal from the manga and anime!"
Damn, now I want them to make Hakuryuu. That would be awesome.
you know what they need to make? little stuffed Bakuras. because they make stuffed Yamis, so really, i think that would be the cutest thing evar.
and speaking of, after i spent a while hunting around the internet to see if we actually knew what the scars on Marik's back looked like, it was randomly on the episode that CN played last night! it was hardcore, i was pretty surprised that they showed it in the american version. It just looked like a tattoo, but he had just said they carved it onto his back, so urgh.
