I had a pretty hard time deciding on that one, actually. There were two moments in that movie that took my breath away, gave me shivers and made me smile. Two moments that made my so very very happy.
As someone who’s been a Puzzleshipper for almost 9 years, I really loved the silent bittersweet moment between Yugi and Atem/u. It made me happy, it made my heart ache for them and it was just so perfect. Atem/u coming back to help Yugi out and they obviously had their mind link restored for this short time and communicated and I loved how it was just so very private that even we, the viewers, weren’t allowed to hear it. It was just for the two of them.
But.
I really need to give the favourite moment to the moment where Yugi stood up to Kaiba and made him back off. It was epic, it was badass it made me shiver and it made me so, so, so proud of Yugi. He grew so much and it was a delight seeing him like that. This moment showed everything I wanted for Yugi in that movie and my expectations were met in that regard.
I also took into consideration that within the whole of the series, we’ve been blessed with so many Puzzleshipping moments. There was no shortage of Yugi and Atem fluff. But we’ve seen Yugi in his prime only for a very short time, at the end of the series. That’s also a point why in the end, for me, Yugi standing up to Kaiba weighted more than the Puzzleshipping moment, though I adore them both.
