>>38https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_biaswould be more fitting, if you wanted to make an argument.
But the phenomeon you posted is also pretty interesting:
A friend was over and he told me about the Yu-Gi-Oh manga, specifically that it wasn't always about the TGC and that the early chapters are worth looking into. And I was totally surprised because I only ever knew about the anime and thought the TGC is where it all started.
And two days later I see someone in social media posting a panel of said ealry chapters of the manga.
