Yugicel

A portmanteau of “Yu-gi-oh” and “Incel”

Can be read as yugioh incel or yugioh celibate

Someone who is either voluntarily or involuntary celibate due to their love of the Yu-gi-oh anime and card game franchise. A Yugicel is typically a “Yugiboomer” who adores the original Duel Monsters series, but you can find ones that also don’t have sex because of their love for other series in the franchise. Their devotion to the series will know no bounds, no limitations. Typically you will either find them self-shipping (usually with Seto Kaiba or Pharaoh Atem) or extremely invested in any ship in the series (usually a mlm ship) or both at the same time. A Yugicel may have the chance to get laid in real life, but because the mentally compare every man/woman/ person to their fan interpretation of their yugioh boy crush, they struggle with putting in any real romantic investment into anyone.
“My crush on Yami Yugi is too big to let go of, I guess I’ll be a Yugicel forever”

“Who needs a real life relationship when I can just read Seto Kaiba/Reader fics? Guess that makes me a Yugicel”
