Yugi was miserable because he was timid and awkward. He was on the drug Alprazolam (for his social anxiety), but he decided to take more to escape his timid disposition. While on more Alprazolam, Joey, Tristan, and Tea, became his friends because he was cool, and then they wanted some of his drugs. Bakura also wanted his Alprazolam to make him brave, so Yugi let him. They suffered from a side effect of the drug, hallucinations, but they discovered that it made the monsters on Yugi's Duel Monsters cards seem real. The confidence and terror that Yugi got from the drug improved his skill, but another side effect he got was memory loss, so he couldn't remember what happened, later. Yugi gave drugs to Kaiba, to show him how much fun it was to play while high, but then Kaiba suffered from another of the side effects, hostility. Bakura suffered even worse than Kaiba and he began stealing so he could afford more drugs. Then word got out about using hallucinogens while dueling.
When Yugi dueled Pegasus, Pegasus showed Yugi how to play a "Shadow Game." The players overdosed on Alprazolam, causing an extreme hallucination in which the loser of the fight is killed. The dose is so powerful that the player really dies. Yugi's shallow breathing and dizziness, were really just symptoms of an Alprazolam overdose.
Dartz was a drug dealer who ruined people's lives so that they would buy drugs from them. Yugi helped both him and Marik with their addictions. Marik had been a drug addict since he was ten because of his abusive father. He killed his father while high and then became paranoid that when he took drugs, another person took over. He learned about shadow games and thought that Yugi was the one who had been controlling him with drugs. Bakura went to rehab after having a similar experience where he felt as if a hostile person was controlling him, and quit drugs.
Yugi over-over dosed one day and had a hallucination that Bakura became a monster. While Yugi was hallucinating, he murdered Bakura. Yugi was devastated, and decided to quit drugs. While suffering from withdraw, he hallucinated that he was fighting his confident alter ego. When his other self died, he realized that he had been taking such high doses that quitting would kill him, and it did.

Re: Dark and Disturbing Cartoon Theories
i heard this the winnie the pooh characters all have a medical disorder
Christopher Robin: Schizophrenia(this is when there is a malfunction in the perception of reality which is certainly evident in Christopher having hallucinations where he imagines his stuffed toys are alive)
Winnie The Pooh: Eating Disorder (though you may not think of this as a mental disorder, the cause of it is Pooh’s low self esteem which is psychological resulting in his excessive need for honey)
Piglet: Panophobia – (a mental condition where you fear everything. Piglet gets overly-nervous several times and this is apparent in the way his ears subtly twitch.)
Tigger: ADHD – (condition of the brain which results in hyperactivity and trouble paying attention)
Rabbit: OCD – (an anxiety disorder in which the person suffers from obsessive thoughts and compulsive tendencies. These can be seen in Rabbit having uncontrollable actions such as cleaning and, basically, being a “neat freak” but to an extreme level)
Owl:Narcissistic Personality Disorder – (being excessively preoccupied with themselves. Owl believes that he is the most clever animal in the wood, boasting how he has brains whilst “the others have fluff”)
Eeyore: Depression – (mental state characterised by a dejected and gloomy feeling surrounding them and a lack of activity. I hope no explanation is needed for how this relates to Eeyore)

Re: Dark and Disturbing Cartoon Theories
I have begun to realize the dark secrets within the horrors of a show I used to watch with my little niece and nephew. Dora the Explorer. :p
It all makes sense now, in a world where anything is anthropomorphic animals, buildings, even objects. Kleptomaniac foxes run wild. Dangerous rivers, mountains and cliffs are everywhere, and you "Have" to cross or climb them just to get to the darn grocery store! No "walking around" or stuff like that.
There is no safety in this world, you have rely on your wits and strength just to survive.
Which is why Dora and Boots always go off somewhere with no parent supervision despite they're only 4 years old. They're constantly getting into traps, and dangers, and climbing mountains and such. It's because their parents are forced to toughen them up in order to survive. It's the rule that world lives by.
And this proves I have no life :p lol

Re: Dark and Disturbing Cartoon Theories
I guess South Park sort of counts as a cartoon:sweatlol:. So, Stan, Kyle, and Cartman were best friends with Kenny as young children. Then, they were the witnesses to his gruesome and untimely death:ksmile:. After he died, they lost their grip on reality and were plagued with hallucinations. Sometimes, they were just of normal Kenny. They also had many which were exaggerations of the disaster that killed Kenny, which resulted in Kenny dying in various horrible ways:lol:. They were forced to relive twisted variations of Kenny's death over and over. Other than the hallucinations causing Stan to become a hoarder, Cartman to play with dolls and develop an eating disorder, and them all to become at least somewhat insane, after time they became used to living in their own reality:-).

It's made with flash, same with the new My Little Pony. So if it counts as a cartoon, South Park definitely does.

Re: Dark and Disturbing Cartoon Theories
Eh, I noticed some effy things in Metal Fight Beyblade.
1.) Benkei Hanawa: He has an unhealthy obsession with Kyouya. Also, I noticed that he only overeats when he is depressed, usually when Kyouya is away. Bullemia, anyone?
2.) Tsubasa: Very bipolar. In Metal Masters, his "dark side" is awakened, and several scenes are shown depicting "Evil Tsubasa" tempting "Good Tsubasa", with "Good Tsubasa" fighting back. Some of his dark side's temptations got so alluring that it almost seemed as if "Evil Tsubasa" was seducing "Good Tsubasa".
3.) Damian: His Bey is Hades Kerbecs, Hell Kerbecs in the Japanese. Honestly, in a kids' show?
3.) Jack: He's an artist. I get that. But does he really need to wear blue lipstick and pink hair? (I love the guy anyway.)
4.) Ryuuga: He killed three people. Gingka brought them back to life with his Beyspirit. In a kids' show.
5.) Rago: He killed Ryuuga. Then he attacked an innocent, harmless girl. She didn't even have a Bey.
...Also, there's the fact that none of them have any parents except for Gingka Hagane (Ryo Hagane) and Madoka Amano (unnamed). What on the earth are they doing without parents?!?

fosters home for imaginary friends
madame foster had "money in the bank" and decided to open her mansion to young people. where they are free to play with there imaginary friends and where they can ultimately leave them behind when they grow out of them. Mac for instance is rather neglected at home so he made blu but he couldnt stay at home with no parents there. so he goes to fosters home all day so that he can be supervised and play with blu. frankie helps out around the place by telling new young people about the old friends that had been left behind so their imaginations could be free to roam and play as they wish which explains why their are so many imaginary friends but remarkebly few actual people there. Goo is always there because she is hyperactive and is always making new imaginary friends her and mac play with their imaginary friends with eachother in this big empty mansion. frankie is constantly changing out silverware and such because shes helping the kids with believing in there imaginations. i think this show is based on and old rich lady who is trying to do something good for the youth of the community and get a little company at the same time as her clock is running out and teaching frankie that her imagination isnt a bad thing.

Re: Dark and Disturbing Cartoon Theories
Alright, I've got one:
All those cartoon characters you know and love? All those cartoon worlds you wish (or don't wish) you could be in? They're all the product of some corporation trying to make some money, and if a show doesn't do well enough financially (Samurai Jack), they'll cancel it. All those characters are just empty shells and drawings, animated by a computer or an artist or two who's only trying to support his or herself or family, and their voices come from disinterest actors who just need a job.
