timeline hell
Flipping through the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia to figure out where the Pyramid of Light and Bonds Beyond Time movies happen in the canon timeline. Not entirely sure either movie does, tell the truth. Pegasus is in both. I vaguely recall there being much surprise when Pegasus showed up in the Orichalcos arc after being entirely absent since the end of Duelist Kingdom. And the impression I get from the wiki is that both movies happen after Battle City but before Orichalcos. (Which makes them next up, since I just finished the clip show closing out Battle City. Hate clip shows, have I mentioned?)
So, in Virtual World, which happened between quarter- and semifinals of Battle City, Kaiba makes clear that literally nobody has seen the plans for Kaiba Land. (Battle City from opening duel to final duel took what, a week?) Construction therefore has not begun. Orichalchos apparently begins within a day of the Battle City finals ending, and I saw somebody say they counted and Orichalcos took eight days. (So a hella intense fifteen or so consecutive days. That's three seasons, you realize.) KC Grand Prix seems to happen immediately on the heels of Orichalcos, and KC Grand Prix is a publicity stunt for Kaiba Land America.
Did nobody writing this canon TIMELINE THIS SHIT.
(At least I'm confident of where Capsule Monsters goes, and pretty confident that it's canon. Like I said a few posts ago, that's in my season five box set between KC Grand Prix and Dawn of the Duel.)
This is worse than Supernatural's "timeskip of a year! twice! the calendar is still in sync with the airing schedule!" Oy VEY.
ETA: Now watching Pyramid of Light. Pegasus says it's been nearly three years since Yuugi's first duel with Kaiba. That doesn't make any sense at all, unless there was a hell of a time skip between Duelist Kingdom and Battle City. Also, there's an explicit reference to King Tut, which puts paid to my theory that Atem and his father took the place of Akhenaten and Tutankhamen in the timeline. (Manga says Eighteenth Dynasty for the former pair, history says Eighteenth Dynasty for the latter pair.) And Pyramid of Light has a different narrative for the solution of the Puzzle than Season 0 and the manga, and the main anime flashes back to the Ushio incident which strongly suggests that the solution of the Puzzle involved Ushio in the main anime just like in Season 0 and the manga.

Nope. Not at all. Too much of this is, I'm reliably informed, anime canon only.
