A quick one, but let's talk about how cool the original series of Yugioh was and how it uses reincarnation. The first thing is the obvious, Yugi and Kaiba are reincarnations of Egyptian counterparts. But it more than that. In universe the card game Duel Monsters was based off of something called a Shadow Game which is basically a ritual used to summon monsters. Those monsters are then used to fight battle where the loser looses their soul. That small idea is a brilliant reason to why these people playing card games can hold the fate of the world.
Now as I said the card game is basically a reincarnation of Shadow Games, and that is what is important. The name has changed, but the ritual is basically the same. Monsters are summoned to do battle against other monsters only this time they come from cards instead of stone tablets. So if someone knows the power of the ritual then they can use it to enter a shadow game. This then means the monsters are real and the power they hold is real. Just look at the God cards. If you are not worthy then the cards will trick you down. It makes these children playing cards have a whole lot more weight to them.
I may talk about all of this in more detail in the future, but this is just an idea I've been thinking about today. I wanted to put it down somewhere so here it is.
