I picked this interesting piece to be my 38,000th upload! I really love art that metaphorically symbolizes things that happen in the story, and this is another fun one.
This artwork is referencing the Sinister Doctorine or Wicked Rune set of emotion cards used in the anime against Jaden.
He blames himself for the loss of his friends after that duel and it starts the spiral of him falling into the darkness of the Supreme King Him being expressionless is a reference to losing his emotions after this and becoming ruthless as the supreme king as well
