So the Millenium Ring is referred to as the “ring of wisdom/知恵の輪” exactly once in the Yugioh manga, strangely in completely different chapters in the English and Japanese versions but both during Bakura’s first appearance:
And I dunno about you guys but wisdom is not a trait I really associate with that particular object? So it’s kinda weird?
Well, seeing the Japanese version finally prompted me to google 知恵の輪 last night. And it’s apparently the Japanese term for those puzzles where you have to untangle interlocking metal shapes??
and WHAT. HAVE YOU BEEN A PUZZLE THIS WHOLE TIME TOO?
DO WE HAVE A PUZZLE YOU PUT TOGETHER CONTRASTED WITH A PUZZLE YOU TAKE APART
DOES THE MILLENNIUM RING COME APART IF YOU TWIST IT THE RIGHT WAY. WHAT WOULD THAT EVEN DO
WAS THERE GONNA BE AN OVERARCHING PUZZLE THEME THAT GOT SCRAPPED OR SOMETHING
DOES THIS HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABSURD TANGLED MESS OF SOULS THIS OBJECT CONTAINS
I feel like I’ve seen through the matrix into some kind of yugioh deeplore that doesn’t matter and may not actually exist
