It's time to d-d-d-d-duel!
The popular card battling anime series Yu-Gi-Oh dates back decades with the franchise expanding over the years to an at-home card game with popularity rivaling that of the insatiable Pokemon as well as countless well-received video game titles.
Whether fans identify with Joey, Seto Kaiba, or Yugi Moto, the latter's signature hairstyle is beknownst to all, even reaching notoriety beyong the fanbase to general anime viewers with it's identifying features. All people need to do is see the multi-colored spiky hairdo for the anime to be conjured in mind.
Now fans new and old can celebrate as this hairstyle is put on display with a new beanie that will allow people's love for the series to be recognizable upon view by wearing their interest on their sleeve - or rather, head.
Take a look at the incredible design for the warm winter hat below with the following tweet from Modern Notoriety having gone viral yesterday, taking the internet by storm.
Exodia, Blue-Eyes White-Dragon, Dark Magician, Red-Eyes Black-Dragon and more summonable creatures will be brought to mind by the imagery embroidered on this particularly special and lively beanie design, touting the love for the series of anyone who dons the clothing item.
While this design is currently limited to conceptualized art, it would be surprising if fans didn't take it to the next level of realism sooner rather than later. The toughest part of creating accurate cosplay outfits from this franchise is nailing down the eccentric hairstyle so it would be an incredible missed opportunity for a super-fan to not recreate this design as a part of their own special Yu-Gi-Oh cosplay outfit.
The beanie concept art also opens the door for other characters with over-the-top anime-styled hair to be properly represented, both from Yu-Gi-Oh, such as Joey, or other anime series such as the generations-spanning Dragon Ball series, which have always proved difficult to portray in cosplay art. With this opportunity, Goku, Vegeta, Broly, and more would be better represented at conventions and allow the fans to immerse themselves even more in the fantastic worlds that anime genres have to offer.
Even something as simple as Saitama's bald head can be represented and brought to life in cosplay fashion with a cool beanie that boasts the One Punch Man main character's signature lack of hair.
If you have somehow missed the popular series or have been living under a rock for 20 years, we have included the theme song for Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters below to provide extra context. Check it out and be sure to let us know if you would rock this beanie yourself in the comments section!
