Ah that makes sense. (Wonder why it couldn't understand "Rebecca," jeeeeeez autocorrect.) I
can tell you that Mokuba looks a lot like a more laid back Seto with the Mokuba
Dark Side of Dimensions haircut. I can also safely say that that's one of few things that will be borrowed from Dark Side of Dimensions, which I liked a lot but took Kaiba in particular in a direction counter to the one I would have.
Apep will probably be renamed Apophis in the reboot, mostly because that spelling of his name has already kinda-sorta been established as the canon spelling via the
Embodiment of Apophis card. In light of that, his design will incorporate elements of that card. He's still a honking great snake. Likely a cobra, to differentiate him from the Divine Serpent Geh that Dartz sics on Yami Yugi in the Orichalcos arc.
I have no problem with long comments at all. In fact, I really appreciate you reaching out to me! I could talk all day about anything Yu-Gi-Oh-related, and talking about my fic really keeps the mental gears turning. Yes, I have a reboot slated, and I hope it's at least as good as the original as well, haha! It's meant to include more arcs, new characters, plot alterations, etc. Ironically, as I've come to believe that the pairing off of the parents would be better suited to side stories than the main one, that chapter you're referring to is one that's slated to be cut completely. (It was mostly a long reference to a line from the GX dub where Grandpa says Yugi
"went to the market to get some olives three years ago," even though GX isn't really in Heirs continuity.)
Thanks for the recommendation! Funnily enough, I was actually reading the "Yu-Gi-Oh Forever" TV tropes page the other day and was considering checking it out. I'll definitely have to give it a look now
