For many, especially gamers born in the late 80s and 90s, the Yu-Gi-Oh manga and its iconic characters like Yugi and Seto Kaiba, along with the magical cards, are unforgettable childhood memories. Besides legendary cards like the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, one item that caught a lot of attention was the modern card-playing device Kaiba used during his duel with Yugi at Vegas Castle.
Even today, Yu-Gi-Oh’s magical cards still hold a strong appeal for a large fanbase. Some rare cards even sell for hundreds of millions of Vietnamese dong for collectors. Alongside the manga, there are plenty of card-playing devices on the market, but when it comes to passion and creativity, no one beats this gamer who crafted his own device replacing magical cards with credit cards.
Specifically, realizing that these card-playing devices serve no real purpose beyond display since they can’t show 3D card images like in the manga, this gamer made an unexpected move by applying the Duel Disk concept to real life. Instead of magical cards, he uses it to hold credit cards, and the Duel Disk is made in a super simple style using just cardboard. The credit cards are secured with rubber bands, simple but surprisingly effective.
Of course, this Duel Disk version isn’t pretty or exactly like the original, but it’s way more practical. So much so that many people are seriously considering it a clever invention that could help them organize cards in their wallets. Still, some worry about how cashiers might react when customers pay with a device like this.
