I thought of this when I was thinking about what was going through Yugi's mind when he watched Yami play the Seal of Orichalcos. I think a lot of people can relate to this poem.
Where did my hero go?
Where is my hero?
Where has he gone?
The person I see now…
Is someone I don't know
My hero doesn't have evil, red eyes
Or the Seal of Orichalcos on his forehead
Or dishonors his monsters
Where has my hero gone?
He knew the dangers of the Orichalcos
But still choose to play it
He ignored me, his best friend
And ignored what he himself has experienced
He tried to believe that he was doing good
That the Orichalcos was the only way to win
And the only way to save two worlds
He was wrong
There were a number of different paths
He could have taken
But he chose the easiest path
He should have realized something;
Lately, those who play the Seal of Orichalcos
End up losing and surrendering their soul
He should have noticed that
If he had, he probably never would have done what he did
And his best friend wouldn't be gone
Where is my hero?
My hero is gone
Will he ever return?
Only time will tell
