Looking at the characters of Zexal, makes me appreciate the work he did. I mean he practically put Yugi's hair on the map.

Never really been a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, but I know it's a great anime/manga. Sad that the designer of it passed away.
RIP

As a YGO fantard, I can just say that he'd done a great job and he well deserved some break. Rest in peace.
