The ARC-V we all loved is back.

>>144636066
Change Dennis, Shun, and Selena to Crow and Sora

>>144635923
Of course Yuzu was making a heel turn, too bad it's via Brainwashing-kun instead of anything interesting

>>144636113
I suspect Yuzu won't actually get brainwashed and instead Leo will actually convince her to join his cause.

>>144636108
And Kaito.

>>144636136
And once again Leo wins by doing absolutely nothing

>>144636137
asuka will join soon

>>144635923
Holy Shit Shinji is such a faggot

What if everyone in Academis is brainwash

>>144636339

What if we are all brainwashed to keep watching Arc-V?

So Yuzu finally got kidnapped? Why do I feel like this is going to set up for the inevitable Yuya vs Yuzu duel?

Also what's up with three fucking threads in the catalog?

A hate thread, the old thread, and this new thread

Anyways I'm hype for Yuya vs Yuzu but brainwashing feels cheap

If you all were waiting for a deep reason for Yuya and Yuzu to battle. Then you i feel sorry for you

>>144636633
If their Ancient Backstory involves Ancient Brainwashing I'm going to have an Ancient Brain Anuerym

>>144636555
Yuya vs Yuzu and Yugo vs Rin is going to be no different in the sense of two childhood friends ripped away from each other. Except the fact that Yuya and Yuzu's attachment with each other has been explored compared to Yugo and Rins, which only consisted of flashbacks tells me their duel is going to be more effective and convincing.

>>144636460
Because the fucking retard that made this thread made it before the bump limit. Now that everyone's turned off of the show, maybe it's actually time to give these threads a rest after episode days, so the shitposters that keep making threads earlier and earlier can fuck off.

I'm expecting it to be emotional on Yuya's end. Then again, anything bad involving Yuzu, is emotional for him.

>>144636930
Why would you want to prevent people from discussing the show? Just ignore these threads.

I find it highly suspect that Sora comes back the minute Shun dropped out of the plot, on top of Sora being excluded from XYZ arc despite having better reason to be there than fucking Gon and Sawatari. Do the writers want to avoid a Sora and Shun conflict that badly? God forbid we have any meaningful interaction.

>>144637329
There's nothing to really discuss a few days after the episode airs, outside of when spoilers come out. It's just regurgitating the same spoilers/complaints/shitposts over and over for 4-5 days straight just to keep the thread alive. And again, there's one or two shitposters that have made it their mission to attempt to get these threads shitcanned by seeing how early they can get away with making a new thread, now going into doing it before the bump limit.

>>144637518

>Reiji: Let’s go! To Academia!
>We’ll take back Serena and Hiiragi Yuzu.
>And smash Akaba Leo’s ambition!
>Everything shall end…
>By the Lancers’ hands!
sounds kind of shady to me

>>144636066
I don't know who that bird with the blue coat is on the far right, but I feel like Kaito should be there

so it's pretty convenient that everyone seems to have forgotten how reiji brainwashed his own comrades in season 1.

I mean, nobody cares about the people he brainwashed, but...

Holy shit I just watched the ep. That was fucking great. I thought the GX writer would bog us down with some bullshit, but wow. I haven't had that much fun with this show in awhile.

>>144638160
That's because nobody knows Reiji brainwashed the three goons. Unless you're referring to us.

>>144638258
yuzu noticed something off.

>>144638094
Shady and incredibly goofy, sasuga Reiji

>>144638341
Yes she did, but she wasn't fully under the impression that they were brainwashed.

>>144638341
but shes about to get brainwashed, so doesnt matter

>>144638341
That doesn't necessarily mean anything. Just this episode Yuya said the same about Serena with Sora confirming it for him.

I don't mind the brainwashing stuff going on.
It's a Yugioh staple at this point, every series had it at some point. And since the last time this was plot important instead of a one episode thing was back in GX, I don't think it's overused enough to feel tired.

>>144638076
After this episode we can all agree that Reiji is the best rival in Yugioh right?

I've always felt that more often than not, brainwashing is a cheap cliche that's a replacement for characterization. How the hell am I supposed to appreciate what a character stands for and strives to accomplish if they're not even following their own goals? Especially since Yuzu has been relegated to uselessness ever since she finished her duel with ENJOY.

>>144638629
In spite of his lack of screentime, he's certainly my favorite. Yeah.

>>144638168
Spoilers: GX was really fun. If Fusion arc keeps up the GX flair, I might actually enjoy the series again.

>>144639023
That´s weird, I thought that Chazz was the rival in Yugioh GX.

>>144638640
When it's well used, brainwashing and other forms of control are used to make a character go against what they stand for.
And the conflict comes from their companions trying to bring them back. It can work when well done, but usually it is just one of those cliches to create quick conflict, yeah.

>>144639314
>Manjoume
>Rival

Why the fuck do people like Manjoume anyway?

>>144639696
Because he's great. He changes a lot and becomes a drastically better person, plus he's always fun and entertaining to watch. The show doesn't take him that seriously but it's part of his charm. He's moe.

>>144640662
No that anon is correct. He wasn't solely at fault, but he wasn't doing a damn thing right in that situation. He was being completely selfish and extremely reckless. He did nothing to show he reciprocated the care his friends extended to him until they were dead.

>>144640802
>>144640662
You're ignoring what happened because you just want to say Judai is a Sue. Almost the entirety of S3 was dedicated to ripping into him, even before they went to Dark World. Did you forget the duels with Satou and Cobra? It was all about how Judai being an irresponsible shit who only cares about fun isn't always a good thing. He was clearly at fault.

>>144640934
yeah, judai got super duper angsty when his love interest was kidnapped, and he started getting more and more reckless.

it made sense.

>>144640802
Bait, but I'll respond.
He can't be a sue if an enormous glaring flaw of his had a strong impact on the overarching narrative. He had his own virtues, but he had his fair share of vices to go with them. Season 3 did well in exploring Judai's immaturity and the consequences of behaving the same way in the wrong situations. Those events had a long lasting impact on him over the remaining course of GX. He was at the end of his wits on more than one occasion in Season 4 and needed allies to help him out. If you honestly think Judai Yuki is any more of a "sue" than any other Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonist, you're a complete and total faggot.

Not to mention his Win/Loss record isn't nearly as clean as Yugi's, Yusei's, or Yuma's.

>>144640981
>have a bunch of weaklings follow you around when you didn't even ask them to
>they die
>it's your fault

>>144640873
They mostly followed him because they didn't want to get hurt. If I recall correctly, he outright told them he'd prefer it if they didn't come. Jim Cook made a rebuttal that involved the merits of friendship and he reluctantly allowed them to accompany him.

>>144641041
It was his fault, because he didn't communicate with them whatsoever or even try to work with them as a team. When you have the number of friends and influence Judai has, your actions do not exist in a vacuum.

>>144641041

They wouldn't have died if he had just accepted the fact they were there and started reigning himself in to cooperate with the group. The way he was behaving was completely fucked up on multiple levels. We haven't even gotten into how his single minded focus on Johan in spite of the fact his friends all came to help him, made them feel. He was trampling all over their emotions like a fucking donkey.

The responsabilities he had to shoulder were simply too much for poor Judai. Boo-hoo.

>>144641219
Yeah it's true that not a lot of them could get the job done like Judai, Edo, Kaiser, and Johan, but that doesn't really make Judai, Edo, or Kaiser sues. Or flawless. Because all three of them had characters arcs dedicated to exploring their flaws and how they responded to those facets of themselves. You're just really gay.

>>144641233
Damn you totally got me.

>>144641438
Anon delivers.
Thank you.

>>144641328
He wasn't being an asshole. He was focused on one thing; saving Johan, and the bunch of useless fucks that he called his friends weren't able to do anything alone, slowed him down and ultimately died because of their idiocy. Even if Judai had cooperated with them, it doesn't change the fact that they were weaklings.

>>144641528
You keep crying "weaklings" but they weren't even that weak. You realize O'Brien and Jim are included in this group, right? If Judai had actually worked with them, things probably wouldn't have exploded the way they did. And just because you don't like them doesn't mean Judai wasn't responsible for them.

>>144641528
They weren't slowing him down. They were trying to make sure their stupid friend didn't kill himself being reckless. Its not their fault Judai wasn't thinking.

>>144641608
You do realize that Mary Sues are typically responsible of a group of characters right?

>>144638629
No. He will never be the best rival in Yugioh. Even fucking Kaito acts as a better rival than him.

>>144641641
Judai wouldn't have killed himself. The show made it clear that he was much better than them in every domain.

>>144639314
>I thought that Chazz was the rival in Yugioh GX.

Its flexible. Different characters are shown to be rivals at different times.

>>144641674
Is it even possible to cherrypick this hard? You're not a Mary Sue if you're responsible but you completely drop the ball.

>>144641784
Nah, Manjoume is technically the true rival. The manga acknowledges this and so does official merchandise.

Where did it go wrong for Arc-V and where did it go right for DSoD?

Nah, he would've fucking died if they hadn't come along.

>>144641921
It went wrong for Arc-V when they extended a two year show to three years and when DSOD additionally started siphoning budget and animators to find it, only to cut two hours from the final film.

how, exactly? It resolved nothing.

>>144641921
>did it go right for DSoD?

As soon as it was announced Kaz would be script writer and executive producer of the movie. Arc-V never stood a chance of being better after that. It certainly doesn't help that Ono and Kamishiro went full retard after Standard ended.

>>144641921
legacy characters and dsod

>>144641888
Asuka and the others depended on him, but he didn't intend to take care of them. He was responsible of them despite wanting to focus on saving Johan. Realistically speaking, their death is not his fault no matter how the show presents it.

>>144641724
No it didn't. This wasn't even the first time Judai went on an emotional rollercoaster because something bad happened to him. Granted, in both cases, what happened was really bad, but he handles situations like that the worst out of his entire group of friends. The man himself even fucking says it during the face off against the final antagonist. He outright tells Darkness he's not good at fighting at all, and that if he didn't have his friends as his emotional support he'd be completely fucked.

>>144642072

>Gives closure to Kaiba's character arc

>Mokuba is now in charge of KaibaCorp and has real responsibilities

It was more of a closure for characters than actual plot points since the main story had already finished. Kaz just decided to make a self-contained story that had connections to the established canon, which was driven by the characters themselves.

>>144642153
>Anzu went to NYC to become a dancer

There is no more support you can give them unless it's something like Battle Mania or Monarch tier floodgates.
The whole idea of a Decoy Dragon archetype for Spellcasters should have come out back in 2006 during the several OTK formats but now in 2016 where every deck has negation or Armades available it's useless.

Does anyone have these three Duel Vocal Best CDs which were released back in 2012? I only have the old ones but I would love to have these but was only able to find some shit 192kbps encodes.

>people like judai
>IT MUST BE A PROXYVOTER!
really guys?

>>144642637
not even that Guy. I like Yusei more. but the question was best MOST DEVELOPED character.
Yugi: Kid with no friends -> good duelist with friends
Judai: Happy go lucky kid -> Hardcore Duelist, fused with a monster spirit who has recovered his love of the game after losing it
Yusei: Poor kid with a belief in good in people -> jesus
Yuma: Judai lite with crying -> no development despite the show building it up only to go LOLNOPE let's not challenge your ideals NUMERON CODE
Yuya: Egao but I don't know what that quite means-> EGAO and I know what it means.

Yuya has a very small amount of time left to improve his development but right now Judai is still the most developed.

Why do people think Yuya is the most developed character? He didn't develop at all in Standard or Xyz leaving his development in Synchro. But even then he stayed in hotel rooms crying a little bitch for half of the arc. So you're telling me 25 episodes is enough to make him the most developed character in the franchise?

Meanwhile Judai and Yugi constantly kept developing over the course of their whole series and were LITERALLY different people by the end of their respective series. This faggot keeps parroting the stupid EGAO shit his loser daddy does. He's literally the same Yuya from the beginning except he has one more layer to him. Fucking Yuyafags.

>>144642956
>by the end of their respective series
Point is, this show isn't finished yet.

>>144642956
>Complaing about Yuyafags in an Arc-V thread

>>144642917
Yuma has development. He's shown to be stubborn towards Astral and always wants to do things on his own without the help of others. He learns over time he should depend more on his friends.

>>144642956

>Judai

Literally the epitome of "forced development". The entire third season shit wouldn't have even happened if Kaz didn't tell the GX staff he wanted Judai to suffer. Everything in that season felt so jarring compared to what came before it. There was no natural progression to things either. It just came at you like a fucking truck at top speed.

>>144642956

>this was more important than giving DRAGONS more time to develop

>>144643317
>DRAGONS more time to develop
Thankfully, Yuzu was finally captured this episode, it's a first step.

Honestly, I liked Yuugi, Juudai and Yuusei. Yuuma didn't sit well with me, but I wouldn't say I hated him, he could be kind of annoying, though. Yuuya is weird. He could be fine but he's just kind of bland and insecure. Like if he just believed in EGAO and acted accordingly he could be fun, but he's constantly insecure about everything and feels the need to tell his opponents and everybody in general about EGAO instead of just simply proving it in a show.

But yeah, I want the next series to have charadesign by Hara again.

>>144643256
>if Kaz didn't tell the GX staff he wanted Judai to suffer.

That isn't what happened at all.

> There was no natural progression to things either.

GX had been building up to being a darker series from the beginning with the lost dorm storyline, the deaths of Camula and other characters, Saiou's whole arc, Edo's dad's death, Viper's whole plot etc. Just because you didn't pay attention doesn't mean the show didn't have natural progression.

>>144643382
I still think they should've knocked her out

>>144643429
>He could be fine but he's just kind of bland and insecure.
That was his character back in Standard, a depressed kid that keep parroting his dad's ideals without understanding them at all.

>>144643257
So? Why do you care?

>>144636066
Why are there legs so long?

>>144643429
I think his insecurity is what makes him interesting. If he didn't doubt his ideals just a little, he'd be an idiot because he knows better than anyone what happened in Xyz.
The fact that he'll still fight for his ideals while not being completely convinced by them is the reason why I like him.

>>144643664
They're big guys.

>>144643664
Yaoi bait.

>>144635923
Has it been confirmed? Or is it just assumption? Because, I'm all in for this rematch.

>>144643837
Speculation. This is just the likely outcome.

>>144643987
Here's to hoping we get more childhood flashbacks in the duel then.

>>144643120
He just cucked Aki. No one else was of any actual importance.

>>144643837
Even Yuya and Sora say "Oh shit she's gonna get brainwashed"

Which actually makes me think she won't, because where's the fun in knowing she's brainwashed?

>>144643535
I won't argue it was getting darker, but it took everything to a whole new level by transporting all of the characters to a fucking different dimension where duel monsters were actually alive and sentient and killing other people. That seems extremely jarring when you take into account s1 and s2 which felt much more toned down.

No, but after seeing all the Ruri's brainwashed, it's not far fetch to say Yuzu will undergo the same treatment.

What are you talking about? GX has been foreshadowing a darker plot since episode 29. You would think with the hate that it gets because of the first half plot, filler, and relaxing atmosphere you'd like a change of pace with Judai developing in a serious and engaging manner.

The development is brilliant and GX is basically the opposite of 5d's in it's entirety.

Kaiba never met up with them after Battle City in the Manga, he just Dissapears and Preist Seto takes his place during Millenium World.

This covers his broken pride and his attempts at getting square with Atem and incidentally Yugi who he finally acknowledges as an Equal after this movie instead of just the Vessel to fight his True Rival.

It doesn't matter who would have one because Kaiba would have realistically came back to fight him down the line again. And Having Atem's Final Fight shown defeats the purpose of this whole movie being about Yugi coming into his own minus one final Ass Pull to fight off the Super Movie Jobber.

Yuzu does best when being mentored by edgy boys, fund it

>>144654072
Except brainwashed Yuzu isn't really Yuzu. The real Yuzu is useless.

>These two on-screen together

Must be dreaming.

They were never relevant.

Arc-V is saved

>>144654514
>Reiji spent most of his time irrelevant learning how to drive a boat.

>>144654514
And we doubted the pirate episode.

>>144655044
Time well spent. He had to plan for the eventual pirate episode, after all.

>>144655126
I didn't. I'm doubting next week's though unless through some miracle Diana kills Kaito.

>>144655126
I was zero percent hyped for the pirate ep and expected it to be shit...and then we got a Yuya/Sora tag duel during which: the enemy of the day isn't instant EGAO'd, Reiji dodges cannon fire from trading cards on a motorboat, and Tsukikage sabotages the enemy's ship.

This ep actually restored my faith in Arc-V.

>>144654514
Why does this episode kinda look movie quality?

>>144654585
Yeah, that's why 2 of them are still limited

You also forget that the last thing Kaiba did in the manga was blow up Alcatraz tower because he wanted to bury the memory of Gozaburo and his loss to Atem in Battle City. That alone shows he hasn't gotten over his past or his rivalry with Atem which sets up a solid impetus for his motivation in the movie.

>Atem's Final Fight shown defeats the purpose of this whole movie being about Yugi coming into his own

But Yugi already came into his own by living happily with his friends and taking down Aigami and giving Kaiba a challenge in their duel. You even said yourself Kaiba acknowledges Yugi despite their duel not being conclusive. How does showing the Ceremonial Duel defeat that purpose? The whole point of showing that duel again was to emphasize the promise Yugi made to Atem that he would always protect his friends no matter what.

They topped twice in the TCG. Kraken Hand Destruction was retarded but it only topped once.
They were even less relevant than Spiritual Beasts.

It won't redeem itself until YUYA HAS AN XYZ MONSTER OF HIS OWN! You thought you got rid of me? I'll never die and I won't give up!

>>144652701
I haven't watched 5d's first half in awhile but was it that good? I think the nostalgia, plot, and soundtrack were the three factors that led to it's success.

I'm surprised Yuya didn't even go EGAO this duel. He even pushed the captain with his fucking elbow. I guess he really does prioties Yuzu more.

>>144655376
The whole Entermate Swordfish and Kraken sequence was nice.

>>144656134
I watched it again this year. Yes, it was excellent.

>>144656320
>moeblobs can fight back too!

>>144656134
I watched Dark Signers again and I didn't enjoy it as much as the first time I watched it like 8 years ago but the Fortune Cup arc still holds up very well. Didn't bother watching after 64 because it's all garbage and I didn't like it the first time around.

>>144638905
If we don't control the hat guy i wonder what deck he uses.

>>144656950
Oh wow. I was planning on watching all the good parts of each series so this arc might be my next stop.

So is the whole episode a reference to the pirate episode of GX?

Sora: I heard that the Professor has someone who can freely control people’s minds in his inner circle.

Please.

>>144657577
We had Yuzu getting captured and the lancers reuniting, so it wasn't completely filler.

the QUALITY really fucked with my enjoyment

if all the sequences didn't look like shit I'd call this a good episode

>>144658607
Who was animating the episode? Koreans?

>>144658724
Yeah. Luckily we have Ebina next week.

>>144658724

Koreans can do a great job as long as they get paid a lot of money

>>144658767
I prefer the animator who did the Edo vs Yuya duel to be honest. He made them look on point.

How come people are too lazy to check the credits themselves? It's just nips who can't draw/don't care.

>>144658951
Actually, wasn't that ep done by one of the higher end Korean animators?
Idk that's actually kinda funny, since people here usually rag on the Koreans for shitty animations.

>>144659344
That's because he's a korean who's been working on Yugioh for most of his career, ever since GX, so it'd be pretty sad if he never got gud.

>>144658951
Nih-Gob-Ho was it? Yeah he's pretty decent.

>>144659094
>>144659126

I think he's a Korean too.
