One truly spellbinding cosplay has brought Yu-Gi-Oh's Dark Magician Girl to life! Kazuki Takahashi's original Yu-Gi-Oh series might have started out as a much different,and much darker series than the franchise is known for today, but those darker roots eventually gave way to a much more light hearted tone. Rather than feature an ancient spirit playing deadly games of chance, the series instead featured an ancient spirit playing deadly games of cards. These cards understandably became one of the drawing points of the franchise from that point on as fans came to love the series' various monster and magic card designs.
