In Yu-Gi-Oh, the author is said to have been greatly influenced by JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, so the original Yu-Gi-Oh is also quite brutal.
If you look at the original, there are quite a few shocking productions that you could not have imagined in the anime Lol
It felt more like a game-themed battle or gambling than a card game cartoon.
It's very unique and fun that the original has developed into a card game manga lol
