Found this at the end of volume 6 of the bunkoban manga, and thought I might share it with tumblr since I’ve never seen it on the internet anywhere?? c: (also everyone loves a good ol’ personality chart amirite)

Takahashi drew up this chart which describes each character’s traits along three different axes:

• narcissistic vs altruistic
• nonsensical* vs self-restrained/showing self-control
• greedy, attached/obsessed vs unselfish/unavaricious, indifferent

Each axis is a continuum moving from one trait to its opposite. The centre of each axis is 0**, and you can score a maximum of 5 points (levels) in either direction.

_{*The actual word used here is 電波 (denpa) which literally means ‘electromagnetic wave’, but it’s apparently also a slang term for a character archetype describing someone who’s a bit ridiculous/absurd/prone to wild fantasies, etc. The term actually originates from the idea of someone who believes they can communicate via electromagnetic waves. #aliens??} 

_{**Also, the centre of the graph (i.e. a score of 0 on each axis) is labelled “ordinary/average person”.}

Here’s what each of the characters scored:

Okay, HOW is Ryou more narcissistic and nonsensical than Yami Bakura. Yhe only thing I can guess at would be his love of the occult and RPGs… but Yami Bakura ALSO likes those AND wants to summon Zorc to destroy/rule the world. Maybe Ryou’s narcissistic because he just wants his body back? But I read that Bakura is so arrogant he used “ore-sama” as a Japanese pronoun, which is an EXTREMELY arrogant way of speaking.

This chart makes little sense XD (And aw, no Odion! Poor guy.)

This is talking manga canon, so Yami Bakura does not want to destroy/rule the world, he wants revenge for his village.
He dedicated his whole life and literally beyond to their justice, which really isn’t narcissistic at all. What is, is that he doesn’t care what else happens, how many people have to be harmed and who exactly was behind the genocide, but rather he seeks revenge on the people he feels the most statisfied with.
Still all his actions are for the sake of others.
Yami Bakura is also partly Zorc, so it makes sense that shows in the stats too.

Ryous narcissistic stat might also come from him acting on his own views while brushing aside the people around him
He didn’t want help from his friends because he thinks that’s the best.
He sacrificed himself, regardless how his friends would think about that.
He never talkes to them about the Spirit, and decides how to handle him on his own. 
He helds his opinions always higher than those of people around him, so that might explain the stat.

I can see the high

nonsensical stat, he does write letters to his dead sister and his reason to travel to Duelist Kingdom was to learn more about the millenium items. He really sounds like the explaination above.
