Perfect

Man, victory feels so empty when it is not how you wanted it...

I just wanted for Dennisfags to recognize that Dennis was way worse than Sora as a character and as a person, but I honestly didn't want him to commit seppuku.

I even tried to rationalize to my inner raging Sorafag by saying that Dennis was a coward but not even that convinces me that that was completely unfair of the writers.

Fuck this show.

>>144591652
Be grateful your character is getting screen time again.

>>144592144

>>144586970
How do the different series' anime and manga compare? Are the original's anime adaptations decent? How about the spin-off's manga adaptations? Any reason to take in both for any of them (besides the skipped chapters from DM).

So, who exactly is coming back to the plot? I forgot once I got past the "ZOMG SORA" hype.

>>144592909
It's just sora, we all knew.

>>144592981
Ah, OK. Thanks.

Since Sora is the only one coming back, I hope that they use him wisely.

Since as I mentioned before, I did want for the other Lancers to come back, I wasn't kidding about that.

>>144593150
>I hope they use him wisely

If Yuzu gets brainwashed he's probably going to end up dueling her with Yuzu BTFO'ing Sora to make seem threatening. Then cues Yuya vs Yuzu.

>>144593217
The writers, anon, the writers. After the fiasco with Dennis, I can only hope that Sora gets better treatment.

>>144593279
I found it disappointing. And why he did not duel Shun or Yuya?

To me, I believe the whole Shun issue would have been a lot better if they’d switch it with Kaito, have him tag with Yuya against the sisters overall his rage almost becomes his major downfall(like they did with Zexal and a major reference) until Yuya’s tries convincing him that what’s doing won’t help anybody. Even then after they would win Kaito would try to card them but then realizes it truly won’t accomplish anything then later have him risk himself to protect Shun and the other resistance. Overall, things would have been better in said area but I get that they’re also trying to reference Kaito’s apparent Gary Stu like action with him being in Zexal as unbeatable but it kinda messes the things Arc-V’s trying to do. Sure at first Shun seemed a bit of both Crow and Kaito but more balanced. All I’m hoping for would indeed be if Ruri(brainwashed or not beat him which very unlikely) or Shun appears later.

>>144593758
HE CANT HELP IT. HE WAS DRAWN THAT WAY

>>144593913
Stop criticizing Yuma then. He... he was drawn retarded.

>>144593868
The worst part is that Kaito doesn't FEEL like Kaito. He feels like a rehash of Shun.

Kaito is Dennis 2: Raidpator Bugaloo.

Yusei may look edgy but he himself isn't edgy. He's a kizunabot and the second coming of Jesus. Well he's more of a anime depiction of Moses but he's pretty much a prophet of the Crimson Dragon.

>>144594080
This is what is called not being original and replacing fine characters.

I think Tvtropes calls it "Replacement Scrappy".

>>144594145
Judai IS edgy though.

>>144594021
This. A Kaito that doesn't toss swords and spears or shout HARUTO isn't Kaito.

>>144593953
Yuma is retarded but a good boy. I like him for that reason.

He is way better than Yusei at any rate.

I want the inevitable next series to have chara designs done once again by Hara Kenichi.

>I just wanted for Dennisfags to recognize that Dennis was way worse than Sora as a character and as a person, but I honestly didn't want him to commit seppuku.
>I even tried to rationalize to my inner raging Sorafag by saying that Dennis was a coward but not even that convinces me that that was completely unfair of the writers.

Dennis was the sole-person that green-lit the whole genocide without giving a single damn about what he did and he mocked Shun in front of him during the duel he was found out, not only responsible for Ruri’s kidnapping, and as he said betrayed Yuya and Shun(who knew/speculated he was spy).

From Yushuo’s perspective it seemed like while Dennis did do messed up things he was still a student and tried his responsibilities as a teacher to help him out while trying to convince Dennis to leave Academia to try redeeming himself. Instead we get suicide via carding.

Dennis' "death" was his own easy way out of trying to make any sort of real redemption for himself. Say what people will about the Xyz arc rushness and Synchro arc's controversial pacing but I believe it’s message back try redeeming themselves by helping out the remaining survivors through and through rather they be forgiven or not. It also worked with Sora(even if it wasn't that great) he openly betrays Academia mostly for his relationship with Yuzu and Yuya while trying to make amends what he did to Tsukikage's brother.

>>144594145
He can actually be pretty cute

>>144594353
I know he did bad but suicide is the coward's way out. If you want to make up your actions, JUST FUCKING MAKE UP. Don't run away from your problems.

>>144594171
Judai is can't be edgy he doesn't even know what edgy even means. Judai just goes about life at his own pace.

>>144593953
No Yuma is a good hearted dumbass.

>>144594505
Judai just looks edgy.

>>144594316
Yuma is nowhere near better than Yusei. Yusei has more development than Yuma and his development stalled much later than Yuma who was just a brash idiot that couldn't do shit until a shinny blue alien came along and taught him how to get gud.

>>144593758
Its not even him committing suicide. It's the fact that we hardly knew him as a character and what he was feeling inside that makes the suicide feel less impactful.

This sounds like something that would be posted on tumblr. L-like I would know or anything...

>>144594668
I want to be the purpose that's mean but to me it didn't really feel as much as Vector actual pitting Yuma's forgiveness or finally realizing how completely naive he is. It also doesn't help that the episode previous to it he flat out played all of them except Nasch(who knew the whole damn time he was faking it and was already passed the point of ever giving him any chances). They're all their own person I get that, but there are also limits to how much you can easily forgive a person that messed up your life or tried to mess up your life in many ways.

>>144595004
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20555248

Yuma has the most development out of every protagonist, followed by Judai. Then comes Yuya. Yuya did develop and much like the other protagonists his character arc revolves around dueling; he was a lousy entertainer in the beginning and the show went out of its way to show us that(he got beat up and went berserk when he tried to ENTAME against Kachidoki, he almost died when he fell on his neck after getting BTFO by Jack) and he's now a very capable entertainer. The thing is that his development just doesn't feel believable. His converting the whole Synchro Dimension to egao wasn't believable, his converting of Kaito and Edo isn't believable, etc. That doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad character like some extremists claim, but it does mean that he needs to struggle again in order to become interesting like he was 30 episodes ago.

I wouldn't argue that Yuma is the most developed (I don't see how that could be anyone but Judai), but he changed a lot from episode 1, so I don't know you're talking about. His development kind of plateau'd in Zexal II, but in Zexal I he came a long way from being a stubborn retard who was literally tsundere for Astral.

That's fine, but it doesn't make him undeveloped, which was the original point of argument.

>>144598569
How did he change though? He just went through some struggles when Astral left him but other than that there's nothing else to his character. He's literally the same person he was at the start.

>>144599164
How? I like Yuya more as a character than Yuma in that he actually evolves as a character and finds his own entamate duel.

>>144599229
He's still under developed in my eyes. I expected him to grow and evolve but he remained the same from start to finish.

You didn't watch Zexal very closely if you think that. In the beginning, he was stubborn to a rotten degree and disregarded other people and their help because he wanted to do everything on his own. He even went back on his word when he was dueling Shark because he was selfish and just wanted to win. As the show goes on, he learns to use his head and cooperate with people.

I actually am one of the few people who liked him better at the start because at least he was flawed and interesting. But he definitely changed.

>>144599292

Not really, his duel with Kachidoki Tyler sister had no mention of Egao or his dad whatsoever, it was him showing his entame to the sisters and Kachidoki. The only time he's parroted about the ideal in duel was against Edo.

>>144599598
It doesn't matter if he's saying "egao" or his dad explicitly. At the end of the day, the idea and what he's trying to do are completely the same.

Can we at least agree that Yusei is the least developed main character?

>>144599659
Exactly, but his entame style of dueling is different to his father.
>Also completely the same
There are many other characters that believe in this as well. It isn't only a father/son deal.

>>144599765
Yes. Yusei a shit.

>>144599765
Yes. He has no depth whatsoever.

>>144599792
>Exactly, but his entame style of dueling is different to his father.
How?

>>144599792
The point is that his personality and ideals never changed. It's dumb to say he evolved as a character because he plays his cards a little differently.

It's even worse because we spent an entire arc with Yuya beating himself up over this shit, but basically ended up back in the same spot anyway.

>>144599807
He's not even a shit, he's just there to duel and be Jesus. The only one he could relate to in the cast was Bruno, and that was because he was the closest thing you can have to a living motorcycle.

>>144599833
Yuya engages the audience with his catchphrase and surreal comebacks.

>>144599885

>>144599935

>aqua dolphin covering neos

Fuck, I laughed

>>144600179
Of course his personality and ideals arn't going to change as he strongly believed in making everyone smile though dueling. Jack had to spell it out to Yuya that he needed to duel his way to entertain and make people smile though dueling. There are many characters who have been inspired by this message and Yuya has influenced alot of people to find their own entame and now it was his turn and he did. Yuya evolved though his journey to not rely on the words of other but his own. It is okay he was inspired by his deadbeat dad but he did have to find his own voice in the matter.

>>144602336
The thing is is that Yuya isn't doing anything different now, it's just magically working for no real reason.

>>144602464
It might not be believable right now, but that's how it is. Yuya did develop.

>>144602484
Nah, he just got a brainwashing card from ciggy dad

>>144602556
>still saying that after getting BTFO by >>144602336

>>144602336
>Yuya evolved though his journey to not rely on the words of other but his own.

But he still relies on his dad's words and the card that is the catalyst for those words.

>>144602712
And?

>>144602336
>>144602484
>>144602608
Dude, that's not development. It's just the writers being lazy and suddenly making everyone fall at Yuya's feet when the actual character did nothing to earn it.

Also, there was good reason for his ideals to be adjusted a bit, because "I'm going to go into a war zone and tell people who lost their homes and families that they need to SMILE HARDER" is downright disrespectful. But ARC-V is running with it, it seems.

>>144596554
To be honest almost nothing in Arc-V has surpassed anything in any of its predecessors, with the exception of character design. And that's just from a purely aesthetic standpoint. Outside of doing a few things differently, it's a pretty bland Yu-Gi-Oh! It hasn't been even remotely as emotionally charging as its predecessors since Reiji vs Yuya 2.

>>144602800
>when the actual character did nothing to earn it.
Did you watch Synchro? His ideals were trampled on by literally everyone, but he still fought on to make people accept them and he ended up beating Jack.

>>144602797
Which means that point is dead and a lie. Yuya didn't develop much. Everyone else in the show just became retarded.

>>144602882
>Yuya and Yuzu are the emotional core of the series with Reiji being the stoic rational counterpart
>HAHAHAH LET'S SEPERATE THEM IN HOTEL ROOMS
>HAHAHA LET"S WRITE REIJI OUT OF THE SHOW

>>144602800
This. I wish Yuya actually talked to and spoke with people when he was doing this egao shit. It feels more like he's talking at people than anything resembling a genuine conversation. It's especially jarring because Jack just said last arc, Duels are like conversations.

>>144602907
He did nothing to make people accept his ideals. He just won duels. He didn't change their worldview through hard work, hitting the pavement to see why they act the way they do and trying to understand their situation. He just kept pushing forward because he felt he was right and ended up fixing a class problem with one duel. He didn't even interact with people too often either because he was locked up most of the arc.

>>144602907
>His ideals were trampled on by literally everyone, but he still fought on to make people accept them and he ended up beating Jack.

But there is absolutely no reason WHY people should suddenly accept them. He didn't start doing anything better or change his methods or ideals.

>>144602933
The way they handle Reiji really is a crime. I get that he's the leader so he can't just act rashly and has to behave differently from Yuya for the sake of the Lancers and everything they're trying to accomplish. But I still wish a greater amount of focus was put on him and his activities and the duality between him and Yuya. They have, or had, a really good dynamic going and it sucks we aren't going to get to see more of it. Reiji versus Yuya round 2 honestly felt like just the beginning of an in depth exploration of the two.

>>144602464
His magical entame dueling is working now because the writers had to stupidify the villains from genocidal soldiers into mentally ill and easily amused children. Yuya didn't develop in the slightest.

>>144603009
>>144603057
In Synchro it makes sense, because he's the King and Synchro's will is something that bends to the Kings. His ideology defines Synchro's ideology by extension. That's just how their fucked up society works.

However it doesn't make sense in Xyz or Fusion.

Yuya stuck in egao mode. Yuzu lost any potencial development she could of had and is now just another Kotori. Sora went from psycho to nice again to jobber all off screen, Shun's entire character was sidelined in favor of a legacy character, Gon, Sawatari and Reji's development was killed in favor of bad writing, hotel rooms, legacy character shilling from Kaito and Crow, everybody in academia are extremely terrible even when they gang up on people

Arc-V after Standard wasn't a mistake it was a goddamn wreck. I can only imagine the next series being even worse.

>>144603165
No no no no no. That's stupid and opens up another whole mess of problems. The people of Synchro should hate the king system since Jack did nothing to help the commons. There is no reason for them to like him. If the king has as much influence as you say he does then people should have been trying to attack Jack for not helping them and instead sitting on his ass all day and night.

>>144603165
>because he's the King and Synchro's will is something that bends to the Kings
But what about that whole part showing how a lot of the Commons thought little of Jack and getting into arguments with his fans because he's done little to help the City? Although that major disagreement within the crowd came up like 2 times and conveniently went away.

>>144603009
Bitch this is YGO. Winning card games IS "hard work".

Sure, he sorta lucked into it, but still. Card games are the be-all-end-all. Don't let the fact that a few people decided to ignore card games fool you.

>>144603347
>I can only imagine the next series being even worse.

Depends on who writes it.

I hope they don't ask Ono and Kamishiro back after this. I'd even rather have Yoshida at this point.

>>144603356
He's referring to the anyone that is the King, in this case Yuya.

>>144602464
>magically working for no real reason.
Nigga is trying to stop an interdimensional war from hitting his door steps. He's working for a reason and that is trying to stop the senseless violence. Yuya maybe just a kid but he's doing shit most adults would never try and that is find a peaceful outcome than more bloodshed.

>>144603415
But anon, in other YGOs, it's never been "just" the card games that convert someone. Duels are duels, but they usually also involve conversation and interaction and a clash of view points. Yuya never has meaningful interactions with anyone.

>>144603446
Exactly. And this pisses edgelords off.

>>144603098
Those two literally haven't conversed in over 40 episodes. Since there's 20+ episodes left along with the writing staff giving up, their rivalry is utterly nonexistent. Every other series had the two rivals talk at least once every arc as well.

>>144603532
That's because Arc-V suck at interactions. They want the viewers to imply on the situation that's taking place rather than showing it.

>>144603440
Yuya wasn't even king when people started sucking his dick and that doesn't wash away everything about Jack. Yuya didn't even give a speech or anything. He left before even talking to the people of Synchro so there is no reason for them to be so gaga over him. It's poor writing.

>>144603415
The problem is how the stakes are tacked onto the duels. When it's a good guy vs a bad guy (like a duel against a Barian or Dark Signer), and if the good guy wins, then the root of the problem is being remedied directly.

The City's problems as they were presented were clearly not in just 1-2 people's hands. But they were tacked onto whether or not Jack won the duel as if they were.

What the hell is he doing? Bakura had small relevance in the first 2 seasons but season 5 is where he got good.
We're at the last arc and still so sign of Reiji anywhere

Where were you when Reiji got Misawa'd?

>>144603415
It's more believable when it doesn't involve real world implications. Arc-V deciding to take a real world issue with no mystical implications and straight up solve it with card games is terrible.

>>144603446
>>144603560
It's not about being edgy, you retards. Going "stop being mean to each other and just smile!" when there's a fucking war going on is absolutely shallow, unrealistic, and shows that no thought has actually been put into solving the problem.

>>144603576
Following onto this, it's the reason why most scenes don't seem convincing. An example that is upcoming to this is Yugo vs Rin. We only know Rin from flashbacks and at a minimal amount of flashbacks, which makes the tension and effectiveness of the reunion/duel boring.

>>144603446
Except the stuff he does has absolutely no reason to work.

>>144603446
Here's the thing, Yuya's actions are just beating people at card games and them suddenly agreeing to be good. Synchro had no reason to give a damn about Yuya defeating Jack expect the possiblity of seeing the once proud king be humliated like many of the other commons. It was fucking class warefare with a city wide riot, they beat a cyborg to death during said riot and clearly didn't care if they killed the tops kids as well, in fact, they were itching to in their own words "drag the tops down to hell" You don't calm emotions like that down just because some outsider put on a good show. You remind the "king" about the rules of this place and torment him and either throw the outsider out as a "thank you" for him allowing you to get your revenge or you subject him to the same treatment since he's not a topsie or a commons so nobody would really give a shit who guts him

then there's Xyz, these fuckers carded babies, old men who couldn't defend themselves, left families broken, surviavors desperate, straving and PTSD'd, destoryed the place and took massive pleasure in it. For a new world? If anything that was for a world for them and them alone, you don't call people you're trying to save fucking prey like those academia students did. Then Yuya shows up and suddenly because he bested their commander it's all good now?

There's only so much bullshit a kids show should be allowed to get away with and this is it. Fusion is even worse, these people know they have to capture and card these lancers and they not only stop after Yuya beats NPC=kun they fucking watch as they leave and give no shits.

Dennis suddenly caring about Shun or Yuya in what they think of him is yet more off screen "I'm a good guy now" development, Those feelings are hollow as shit when he did nothing but taunt Shun during their second duel and laugh at chaos giant tearing up the place. If they really wanted us to believe Dennis was at all conflicted they failed.

He's not trying to find a peaceful outcome. He's just telling people to stop fighting in the most juvenile way possible and it works. You know why most adults wouldn't do that? Because it's retarded and if someone is aiming weapons at you they have some type of reason. I'm sure the US has asked ISIS to stop multiple times. But that doesn't work because they are set in their ideals.

>>144603434
Kamishiro's proven they're a good writer when they want to be. I'm willing to bet that most of this is either Konami leaning in or Ono being a massive 5Dsfag. Could be combination of either.

>>144603446
To move on, resolve, and forgive is of course a good message.

But the way it's done in Arc-V is frankly a bit cynical, or not genuine. When Yuya helped Chojiro to ENJOY himself again and work out of a funk, that actually felt genuine. Back when Shuzo had his duel with Yuya to teach him something, that message felt genuine since you could feel that he cared as a teacher.

When egao is used so the writers don't have to put in any effort into resolving an arc, it comes across as insincere and tarnishes whatever they're trying to accomplish. These people are adults who have had extensive experience as writers in the industry, so there is no way they aren't at least somewhat aware of how they're using egao to excuse themselves from having to try, or using it to haphazardly tie things up after writing themselves into a corner.

>>144603749
But Yuya is ultimately right. Senseless bloodshed is a bad thing, and trying to stop the war as a child soldier is a noble act in itself, no matter how childish you think it is.

>>144603916
Yes, he is right. However, the fact that the enemies mindset changes after one encounter with him is the problem. Yuya's doing what he's suppose to do but that doesn't mean the bad guys should oblige to it just like that. I blame the poor writing and execution.

>>144603916
No, you're missing the point. People have complicated reasons for being in conflict, and simply going "Stop and be happy!" is patronizing and completely ignores the issues people are struggling with. If you want to find a peaceful solution, first you have to understand the view points of the people involved.

Instead of telling these genocidal maniacs to smile and somehow having it work, why don't we point out that Academia is indoctrinating these kids and their lives actually suck? And why aren't their any consequences for all the shit they've done to the XYZ people after they converted?

>>144603916
It's not about Yuya being wrong or right, he's right it's about convincing the other party that he's right in a realistic manner instead of pants on the head retarded acceptance. I'd like it somebody acknolwedges that Yuya's right but for the sake of the world this has to be done but they won't do that because god forbid we have an actual conflict in this story this close to it's end. The writers are fucking lazy, this might be the laziest writing in a YGO series and I'm ashamed they went this route after such a strong start. They turned what could of been a good grey story into a completely boring black and white story. What the fuck happened after episode 52?

>when all your Yu Gi Oh knowledge comes from watching GX back in the day
I feel so uneducated...

>>144603916
Of course he's right. That's not the problem. The problem is how the show and the other characters handle him being right. He doesn't come from a position that has the right to tell people how to live their lives. He doesn't understand their anger and emotions. He came from a privileged background. He doesn't get why the commons are so mad or why the resistance in Xyz is so angry and blood thirsty. He can't empathize with their emotions. It's childish and handled fucking terribly.

Child soldiers trying to stop wars isn't anything new to anime btw. Uso is a child soldier done fucking right and Victory does a tremendous job of showing just how fucked up people from all sides are and how you can't just reason with everyone.

>>144603916
>But Yuya is ultimately right. Senseless bloodshed is a bad thing.
That I can't argue with you.
Although, the problem lies from the opposition. They can't just stop doing whatever they were doing after losing once to him. They need to give Yuya hardship to defend and justify on their own goals. Even early Synchro gave Yuya more hardship about his ideals than Academia did, which is quite sad.

Everyone it's a kids show created to promote the card game without any involvement from Kaz as he never wanted his but ultimately gave in. Of course antagonistic characters are going to convert to good. If you want a more realistic story but never dove into some social matters after the first arc then watch 5D's which is the more "adult" Yu-Gi-Oh.

>>144604472
Being a kid's show isn't a good excuse for bad writing.

>>144604472
Stop with this shitty excuse already.

Where do you guys go to read the DM manga?
I'm having a hard time finding the DM era manga to read, and kissmanga has shit quality

>>144604472
but 5ds is bad

>>144604598
Post 64 it is.

>>144604472
Please. I bet half the people here have already watched 5D's twice over however much you watched it, you patronizing goon. The problem is how it's executed, which has been laid out multiple times by now.

Even disregarding how villains act during and after conversion, there's been nearly fuckall when it comes to charismatic or entertaining villains with at least a little depth. The closest was Bennis, but he's tucked away in a card now.

>>144604666
Satan confirms.

>>144604719
Tumblr owns 'goon' now? Would you prefer mong or retard?

>>144604472
Arc-V had the potential to make antagonist characters conversion convincing, but for some reason they just made them one-off threats. Literally the only villains heel turn that was convincing at the slightest was Sora.

>>144604472
Literally every other YGO has dealt with these types of conflicts in a less retarded fashion. Even fucking Zexal.

>>144604799
Remember when people were actually surprised that Yuya and Yuto put their duel disks away and discussed things in a civil manner and how Yuzu simply talked since into Serena instead of dueling her to make her stop?

>>144604547
>>144604799
There is clearly alot they wanted to do but time is running out and the show is to wrap up next year in March so they had to rush some things. Pretty much Synchro should have been shorter like 25 episodes or so to get to the main event that is XYZ and Fusion.

>>144604961
Maybe the show should've tried harder to be less shit

>>144605002
maybe you should try to be less annoying

>>144604153
I-its a Khartoum anon relax

Everything will be daijibouti

>>144605047
Take your own advice first, then I'll consider it

>>144604974
It wouldn't have even mattered that Synchro was 50 episodes if character interaction had been allowed to happen. Instead of a shitty tournament, we should've had a saga that involved the Lancers actually working together.

>>144605047
This so much

>>144604961
ARC-Vfags had this coming after shitting on the other series constantly for the first two years of the show's run.
