Summary

  • Destiny 2 player recreates Yami Yugi, outfitting Warlock in iconic style using clever gear choices.
  • Shaders like Lion's Pride and Metro Shift recreate character's hair and clothes faithfully.
  • Destiny 2 community showcases creativity with builds inspired by anime characters like Goku and Jotaro Kujo.

An inventive Destiny 2 player has turned their Warlock into Yami Yugi, the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh manga and anime. One of the Destiny 2 community's favorite activities is to give their Guardians new looks with the wide selection of cosmetics available in the game. These builds impress with the fidelity with which they recreate well-known characters from movies, other games, and anime.

Created by Kazuki Takahashi, the Yu-Gi-Oh manga debuted in 1996 in Shueisa's Weekly Shonen Jump, and has become a popular work worldwide. It tells the story of Yugi Muto, who is possessed by the spirit of Pharaoh Atem and transforms into Yami Yugi, battling foes in the card game Duel Monsters. The manga spawned a prolific entertainment franchise with games, collectible cards, and several Yu-Gi-Oh anime released over the years. Paying homage to this beloved series, a Destiny 2 player has made a build inspired by one of its most illustrious characters.

Redditor most-p-alone went viral by transforming their Warlock into Yami Yugi, with an impressive result. The build stands out for its choice of equipment, especially Hawk's Fury Hood and Clutch Exol Robes, which cleverly recreate the Yu-Gi-Oh character's clothing and hair design. The build is complete with the default ornament, the Painted Kitsune Boots, and Blood Lineage Blood, giving a similar appearance to the legendary pharaoh, and making their Warlock even tougher. In the comments section, they shared a version of the build without the dueling disk, which has Blood Lineage Gloves in place of the standard ornament.

Destiny 2 Player Prepares For Duel With a Build Inspired by Yu-Gi-Oh's Yami Yugi

If the selection of ornaments is noteworthy for the right choices, the same creativity is also shown in the choice of Destiny 2's shaders. Using Lion's Pride, they make their version of Yami Yugi's hair, while Metro Shift sets the tone for the clothes worn by the character in the anime. Meanwhile, the Ego Malign shader helps create a Destiny 2 version of the dueling disk that positively wowed the other players, with Princely Presence completing the build.

The world of anime is one of the recurring inspirations for Destiny 2 players, as previously created builds inspired by Mikasa Ackerman and the Colossal Titan from Attack on Titan have shown. For Akira Toriyama fans, a second set turned Warlock into Goku, including the Dragon Ball protagonist's spiky hair. Inspired by another beloved anime, a third player recreated Jotaro Kujo in Destiny 2, making their version of the popular Jojo's Bizarre Adventure protagonist.
