Pretty nice imagery.

Yuri may show up to finish her job.

>Yuto
I know it was on purpose, but why?
>>
>>145110249

They handled some characters well early on but they never handled the Yus and Ruris well. Most of them are irrelevant and barely got screentime. They were all obviously planned from the start too which means they got the very basics of the show wrong.
>>
>>145110826
Because he has to be in it to complete the Yuu/Ruri criteria.
>>
>>145110794
If Yuzu ends up brainwashed I get the feeling she's going to be the worse one of them all.
>>
>>145110959
That's because most of them were introduced to the story when the series already was having problems with characters.
Yuto, the only one who was around back then, was handled well before being "killed".
>>
>>145111199
I'm talking about replacing Yuya's name with Yuto's in Yuzu's line.
>>
>>145111331
And then Yugo proceeded to be mostly irrelevant in his own dimension

>>145111331
Yuto's been handled badly far longer than he was handled well. Spent all of Synchro dead and on

Yes. Ruri and Rin are side dishes. Even in the unlikely scenario of Yuzu being saved before being brainwashed, Serena will be the worst one.

And if the side dish makes faces like pic related, I can't wait for Yuzu and Serena.
>>
>>145111527
Yes. I'm not saying that Arc-V handles characters well. I said it was it's strongest point earlier on, and that my major problem with it is how no one has screentime or interactions anymore.
>>
Rin used the Knee of Justice? But I thought Kurosaki was Captain Falcon
>>
>>145111625
Was it ever brought up that it was Yugo that killed Yuto? Like did anyone care, at all?
>>
>>145111420
That's because it's an edit from a desperate shipper. The artist who drew it is a Yuya/Yuzu fag.

>>145110445
If you look closely it's says ゆや, which is another way of saying Yuya.
>>
>>145111670
I can't remember if Yuya ever told anyone.
And even then, he doesn't blame Yugo because he clearly noticed there was something wrong with both of them.
>>
>>145111670
No. Yuya says Yuto's inside him and everyone is like
>I don't really get it, but ok!
including his best buddy, Shun, since Yuto's ghost tells him to trust Yuya
>>
>>145111726
That's why I asked why replacing the name. I can tell the original says Yuya. I can at least read hiragana.

I asked because I thought he changed it as some joke I missed the point of.
>>
>>145111670
Yuto surprisingly doesn't hold a grudge the only thing he had to say about Yugo is that he mistook him for Yuri and chased him. His whole existence feels wasted just like Yuri's even in the manga Yugo's the only other Yu who's actually not a jobber. Yuri lost to fucking Sora and it's clear he wasn't holding back on him there. I bet you he, like Yuto has his anime dragon while Yuya and Yugo have different dragons. Honestly it's like the director only seemed to like Yugo out of the Yuus and wanted to do stuff with him while Yuri and Yuto only exist as exposition. Am I really suppose to be impressed that Yuri beat cards from fucking 10 years ago despite being ganged up on? Am I suppose to believe Yuto could OTK scores of people at once like Kaito and Shun?. The only thing yuri and yuto have contributed to ARC-V manga and anime is their dragons and BL pandering. Seriously, does Japan really like Yugo or something? I honestly expect that he will succeed at beating Rin back to normal and either draw with Yuri or flat out defeat him
>>
>>145111948
It's because Ono has a huge boner towards 5D's related cameos.
>>
>>145111999
What's the excuse for the manga then? Yugo's actually dueling a plot related character and might even pull out an evolution to his dragon already. Meanwhile Yuto jobbed to fucking Sawatari and Yuri jobbed to Sora. That's pathetic.
>>
>>145112091
I think it's too early to say, considering Yuto and Yuri could easily redeem themselves in the upcoming chapters.
>>
>>145111948
Yugo has the least fanart out of all the Yus. It's just the director. He's biased as hell and can't balance a cast worth shit.

>>145111267
It is. Imagine all the slurs and mockery she's going to say/do to Yuya. This is coming from the girl where she'll defend him even from the slightest of insults.

>>
>>145118214
Because it disrupts Synchro and Xyz plays, so his opponents are less likely to get out their boss monster. Then when he fuses the predator plants on the field, the monsters levels return to normal in time for Starve Venom to steal their effect. Then he uses the effect of that one predator plant to let Starve Venom attack all monsters with the left over predator counters.

Yuma did grow over the course of the series. He made the decision to choose humanity over the Barians and defeated them. He then defeated Astral. He didn't Kattobing anything. Astral lost to Yuma and decided to revive everyone.

>kaito wasn't dead

V already said they wanted to revive Kaito with the Numeron Code. Pay attention.

>all the barians were human again

Because Astral realized they were all brainwashed victims used by Don Thousand.

>including nasch who had to choose to forsake his humanity in order to save his people

Which is noble in of itself. Astral knew Shark for a long time before that and Astral himself had to make decisions based on his people vs others.

Either way brainwashed Ruri will have a lot more art, and Ruri art is usually of better quality (probably because she's harder to draw).

Yuzu: The real Yuzu you once knew and cherished is gone Yuya...
Yuya: YUUZU! What are you saying?!
Yuzu: Come, Yuya let us know settle this.
Yuya: No, I would never hurt you, Yuzu! Please stop this right now. What happen about saving everybody together?
Yuzu: You really are a naive little brat, ever since we grew up together. If you won't duel me, then I'll just force you too!

>>145134938
I'm still hoping at least some Ruris won't be freed so soon precisely because Academia has very few named enemies and we have 30 episodes to fill.

And since Leo's plan will probably at least start, it would be freeing them just for them fall into his hands again near the end.

I know the chances of this happening are pratically zero, but I'll keep my wishful thinking until the spoilers come;
>>
>>145135313
Its pretty blatant that they are going to be freed, then Professor says "I will do it anyway because I just needed them in the same room" or something and shit pops off. Then Hitotsuni appears and final series of duels start.

Only question is how long they spend on each section.
>>
>>145135313
>and we have 30 episodes to fill.
woah anon don't say that they'll give us another fucking pirate episode or dino DNA
>>
>>145135313
The Ruri's are going to be freed sooner that we expect. I think Hitotsuni is going to be the villain that'll remain for a good amount of episodes.
>>
>>145135419
I was always under the impression he wanted the Ruris just so they where out of the way and the 'Yuus could become one' as it were, I could be wrong though
>>
>>145135419
>Only question is how long they spend on each section.

That's pretty much the same thing with different wording. We're assuming the Ruris will be free on the span of 3 to 5 episodes, I think it could take a little longer. One or two of them are freed soon, the others stay a little longer.
>>
>>145135514
I always assumed that Ruris are used to fuse the dimensions but oh no it actually freed Hitotsuni reeee.
>>
>>145135514
would't it just make sense to capture the Yuus instead if it was like that, since he already has one and really the only ruri that could teleport would be ruri if she found one of academias teleporters (Yuzu can't teleport without 2 yuus,serena wouldn't care, and rin can't use clear wing like yugo)

Anon, a lot of good characters died in his and Shinji's shadow because of "muh legacy characters". That made Gongenzaka, Ninja bro and even fucking Shun look like nothing in his own series, it was too much developing for nothing.
>>
>>145141594

Why they focused so much in these guys anyway? Excess of blackwings bosters?
>>
>>145141594
Tsukikage lost on purpose, Gongenzaka lost because he gave crow shitloads of time to get an action card during crow's mid-duel storytime. The only actual victory crow had was vs Shun, and even then he was arguably forced into making certain plays because of Tanner holding onto Raikiri for dear life.

And of these, the only one to truly continue jobbing is Gongenzaka and both of his duels since have had him at some sort of blatant disadvantage going into either duel.

>>
>>145141594
Shinji related things are not caused by Crow being in the series or not. What kind of backwards logic is that?

Gongenzaka for as cool as his duels always are, only won alone once, against a character of the day in Maiami Championship.

I'll give you Shun, but regardless of the result that duel contributed to Shun's developement. Contrast with how shun was batlantly removed from an entire arc to give Kaito a spot to shine. This is a very different way of handling things. Ultimately Shun vs Crow had a purpose in Shun's character arc.

People just blow Crow's involvement or spotlight way too out of proportion. He had 3 duels and when it comes to involvement and screentime he was handled no different than other arc-specific characters like Shinji, or Michio and Mieru back in Standard. The only thing Crow's status as legacy character did for him is putting him on a proeminent spot on the opening.
Yet people talk like Synchro was full of Crow shilling everywhere.
>>
>>145142760
Jack was a self-absorbed douche who did fuck all except for "shut the fuck up or man the fuck and duel me, Yuya." Which, granted, isn't out of character for him in comparison to 5Ds, but at least there he ended up being purposeful.
>>
>>145142760
>>145142938
My only problem with Jack is that I found his final duel with Yuya a bit underwhelming.

Other than that he was well handled. Both the Synchro characters were well executed compared to the atrocious Xyz and Fusion legacies. Though I have some problems with Crow and Jack as well, the writers found some balance while now it's either extreme shilling or complete irrelevance.
>>
>>145142897
Why the fuck IS Kaito being shilled so hard anyway? He's completely fucking redundant with Shun as a character and ultimately doesn't have any interesting interactions with any members of the cast. Why is he even here?
>>
>>145143209
I assume it's due to his huge popularity back in Zexal.

If I had to guess I'd say this was some executive's idea, as the writers are clearly struggling to conciliate his and Shun's characters, who are pretty much the same guy, and trying to not have them together for too long.

The most bizarre of it all is that Shun is very popular as well, so by juggling the two like these they are just upseting two big fanbases.

Clear Wing Synchro Dragon's protection effects are superior to Stardust Dragon's

What the hell is Strave Venom Fusion Dragon suppose to represent for Jaden? It can pretend to be one it's opponent's special summoned monster for a turn including effects, when it appears it can eat a special summoned monster's attack and when its destroyed it can destroy all of your enemy's special summoned monster. Jaden doesn't have a single fusion that does what SVFD does, Flare and Flame burn, Neos is vanllia but hasa toolbox it can't use, Terra Firm techinally isn't Jaden's and Contrast Hero Chaos's effect is nothing but a jerked chain.

I think Yuri might actually be brainwashed too, the other Yuyas are good people if a bit wrongheaded, and even if he's grown up in academia, it's weird that he'd be so sadistic if he's basically the same person as Yuya. I mean the Ruris get a slasher smile when brainwashed maybe the Yuyas do too.
>>
>>145147414
I don't think so, if only because Academia's brainwashing seems to be a literal parasite monster card the Doctor uses.
If it was a brainwashing machine or some other process that is not dependent of one person's signature monster, I'd be jumping on the Yuri is Brainwashed theory too.

But why Kaito, though. If they really wanted to bank in on Zexal's popularity, why not Shark? I doubt Masuda is harder to get ahold of than Uchiyama.
>>
>>145147570
His brainwashing might be slightly different, remember the weird dragon eyes thing in the fourth OP. Or maybe he was brainwashed for an extended period of time at an early age and now he's stuck like that even though he's not being actively brainwashed anymore.
>>
>>145148518
I think he's probably just a case like sora where he learned to obediently follow academia and just didn't see anything wrong with it since he's never really had any sort of relevant outside influence to counter his teachings
>>
>>145149428
I dunno, I think it goes deeper than that. Even if outright brainwashing is not involved, he must have had extra cultish violent training or something. That boy ain't right.
>>
>>145148517
Because Shark is pointless without Yuma just like Chazz is without Judai. I'm starting to understand why 5D's and GX got 2 characters where Zexal only got 1. Can't use shark because Yuma, can't use Yuma because no protagoinsts can't use any number clubs member because nobody liked them, can't use Anna,Gauche,Droite,Fuya,Kaz, Rojo, other barians or arclights because they don't meet the popular deck criteria nor the popular criteria Zexal had character interaction but deck wise only Yuma and Kaito had that covered and only Gagagas were somewhat popular.

Jack's character was capable of being independent from Yusei because Jack was just another player in a show where EVERYBODY was a pawn in a greater game, including the MC.

In ZeXal and GX, the MC is important enough that you can't actually have the show without the MC (in ZeXal's case this is literal, which is a huge problem with the series).

Yusei becomes much more central in the second half of 5ds. Much like Yuya has become in arc-v though, YGO series have this tendency to sideline the extended cast and focus just on the main character as the story progresses.
>>
>>145152773
Doma is the only decent filler arc, both virtual worlds and kc grand prix suck. And even them doma wasn't all that inspired, the doma organization was somewhat interesting but in the end by having the bad guy be such a big, bad, apocalyptic menace, it kind of undermines Zorc, since the Leviathan seems just as dangerous or more without any of the personal connection.

But Orichalcos is fucking great. I was bored watching the Battle City finals and MUH GOD CARDS, the character decks were a mess without synergy and Marik won lots of times cheating.

I do too, I wish that kind of steup was more frequent in the series. If you think about it, some of the most well regarded arcs are kind of like that, GX season 3 was all about traveling around the monster dimensions while fighting the dark army, and the dark signers arc of 5ds had the signers travel around neo domino city a lot on their d-wheels and showing off the city and its people even as they were being eaten by the earthbounds. That kinda setup is why I'm hyped for ffxv. Didn't care all that much for the flashy cinematic, but the anime with the main party traveling around fighting bad guys while on a road trip totally sold me on it.

I don't see how that's inherently a problem. That's like saying you can have Gintama without Gintoki or Ultimate Survivor Kaiji without Kaiji, which isn't true. The MC should be prominent enough to have that kind of impact on the story, otherwise why bother focusing on them at all?

I get it if you mean that it seems like the rest of the cast barely matter and the MC is a bore, but even in Zexal the antagonists managed to matter at least somewhat. Academia is an easily bowled over joke and Leo has barely done anything.

>>145154917
The problem ZeXal had with making its MC too important is that Yuma was never allowed to lose ever, or the show would end because Astral would kick the bucket and the Numbers would be lost (rendering the entire plot moot). Later on it was even revealed that Yuma was an aspect of Astral, meaning Yuma would've likely died along with him.

It's a bit different from 5Ds Part 2 (where the writers had numerous opportunities to give Yusei a loss but chose not to), because ZeXal accidentally wrote itself into a corner on the very first episode. In either case, though, it makes for a much more dull plot because there's little genuine drama, and it always feels forced.

Even now with Yuya, while it's easy to say "he's the MC so he's probably going to win", there are still plenty of times where it's reasonable to think that he'd lose.

They like DM more. As the Dark Magician/Blue-Eyes support proves, they'll just make up new cards when they start running out of old DM cards.

We will never get GX deck updates without an anniversary series bringing the characters back, and even then we won't get much.

It's also likely that TCG has done some leaning on KoJ because most of GX's best cards are in the season that didn't get dubbed, and also because TCG hates HEROfags.

No there isn't because this show suffers from the same problem as Zexal. If Yuya loses he gets carded or something else bad would happen to him. I haven't though Yuya would lose in an incredibly long time and it's even worse than Zexal because Yuya is a far less interesting character than Yuma and Astral. Zexal forms were chuuni as fuck

How is Yuya less interesting than Yuma?
He's pretty unique for a Yu-Gi-Oh protagonist, or even for a protagonist of this kind of shonen merchandise driven series.

I'm not even hating on Yuma here, it's just that he is a lot more generic. And on developement department I don't see a clear winner. Both have the same problem in which they do improve and mature during their series, but the transition is nowhere gradual enough.

How is Yuya unique? He has daddy issues like 90% of shonen leads including Yuma. He has a childhood friend who he has sexual tension with. He has a dark side. He wants to make people happy.

Yuma isn't the greatest character ever but it's far more interesting to see that he can't solve everyone's problems in his series. He's a bystander for the post part. Yuya is a super hero in his series and solves everything. He can end years long wars in days. He can change people's lives after a meeting or two. He can make evil people stop being evil after their first encounter. He can solve class warfare with a single card game. He's a terrible character.
>>
>>145156270
Yuya's lost important duels before though.

He lost to Reiji and got drafted into the Lancers, being placed under Reiji's control as a result.

He lost to Jack and ended up hated by the city as a result (until Shinji's revolution was already underway) and this only served to further the animosity between tops and commons in said city when he beat the BEES.

He lost to Sergey and failed to defeat Barrett during that same duel and that ended up separating the lancers, getting Yuzu and Selena kidnapped, getting Selena brainwashed, and getting Shun crushed by rocks.

Yuma's Gagaga's and Gogogo's can at least do their fucking jobs and shit out xyz like no tomorrow but Gogogo's are much better at swarming and stalling due to them not having ridiculous restrictions slapped on them like losing your battle phase, being forced to use only a certain type of monster or being too weak to last a round.

His personality being more sensible and pacifistic than usual is what I meant him being somewhat unique for this kind of merchandise driven shonen series. I really can't remember someone similar, though I'm sure it does exist.

One could argue Yugi is like that too but he has the Pharaoh to balance things out.

I won't comment on the rest of the post. To me this sounds like you're still on blind rage over XYZ arc and I don't think one poorly executed conclusion ruins the character to this degree.

>>145156683
Yuya wasn't under Reiji's control. Reiji would have to be in his control for that to be the case. Yuya has been doing whatever he wants all series.

Who cares what the city thinks? They started sucking his dick in the end with little effort on his part anyway. They're fickle and them hating him didn't impact the plot at all because he never got to interact with anybody. That animosity between the tops and commons led to absolutely nothing.

Serena left on her own and Yuzu was freed like 3 episodes later. Yuya didn't get the Lancers separated and Shun got beat by Stealth Rocks because Shun was trying to play hero. Not because of Yuya.

As Reiji said, he would grovel before Yuya if he lost. If Yuya won, he would've been the defacto leader of the lancers and synchro arc would never have occurred as it did because everyone during that arc was manipulated by Reiji or Roger due to prior circumstances.

The animosity led to Shinji's defeat and later his revolt which resulted in Yuzu being separated from the Lancers in the chaos underground.

If Yuya didn't lose to Sergey, Yuzu would've never been in Roger's possession. There would be no need to even confront Roger directly. If no one confronts Roger, him opening the vortex does fuck all and the Lancers stay together in Synchro, thereby bypassing the XYZ trip entirely.

Yuya solved class warfare with a single duel and without understanding or empathizing with the problems of the dimension. Synchro was the start of his downfall.
>>
>>145157532
Yuya provided an idealistic starting point by outright halting the riots similarly to how they halted in jack/sergey, but we ultimately never saw anything of how synchro progressed after that aside from the council conveniently making a half-assed apology right as Reiji was priming to make Roger take the fall. So, while a bit saccharine, it wasn't overwhelmingly so and nowhere near as egregious as XYZ arc's conclusion.
>>
>>145157381
Reiji didn't do shit in Synchro. The cast did everything on their own and would have been arrested regardless.

Shinji would have been defeated anyway if they faced in the tournament and his revolt was in the stages of happening long before Yuya arrived. It was always going to happen because the commons were fed up.

Sergey had a jetpack. He could steal Yuzu no matter what. He just flies in and snatches her. No one could do anything about it. They had to confront Roger eventually because he was the one causing the problems in Synchro. He was the one who tried to control Yuya. He had to be dealt with. He was always going to snap upon losing too. The Lancers not going to Xyz means they take longer to get to Fusion meaning Yuzu is captured earlier by Dennis and his forces since Yuya and co don't arrive in time to save her. Yusho and Asuka are confronted by Dennis and who knows how that goes since Kaito isn't around to help them.
>>
>>145157674
Yuya didn't provide anything. All he did was duel. People were out with weapons in the streets attacking each other. Dueling shouldn't solve that. Especially the way it did. Dueling had nothing to do with their problems that stemmed from years of anger. The tension between both sides in that arc was boiling over for an incredibly long time. Yuya being able to solve it in one duel without even interacting with the people was disgusting.

It's yugioh world, buddy, people destroy the world because of cards and save the world with cards, and believe if you want, but a match of soccer stopped a war once, so it's not very unreasonable that cards can do that in their own universe.

That's when the protagonists are dealing directly with the holder of the mystical force putting the world in peril. It really obvious they glued the fate of the City onto Yuya's 2nd duel with Jack for the sake of having stakes.

They made a point to show that some Commons didn't respect Jack early on in Synchro when the crowd couldn't stop arguing over what he has or hasn't done, but that's not an issue at all later on for some reason.
>>
>>145158330
No. Most problems solved by card games in Yugioh weren't real world problems. They were problems that dealt with magic and the like making it far more believable. Yugi stopping Pegasus who was using magic to try and revive his dead wife is more believable than Yuya stopping a civil war that stemmed from years of class warfare because reviving the dead takes magic in the first place. We can look at our world right now and see classism everywhere.

That soccer match caused a ceasefire that turned into a bloody conflict right after it ended. The commons had just started their crusade that had been boiling over for an incredibly long time.
Feelings don't just disappear. All that rage the combatants in that war felt wasn't going to dissolve over a game. That isn't how people work.

Magician Girls work by you attacking them so they can half your attack and set you up against another magician girl that causes you to suicide your monster into it. Then, if they have enough Kiwi's in their hand and magician girls on their field with you being open they can activate the kiwi's to prevent spell/trap destruction while killing you. the only other thing they can do is provide the secret village of the spellcasters lock and force you to battle them via Battla Mania and some other cards but they have a very one note gimmick that's full of weaknesses.

Reiji:
1) Informed the council of the dimensional war
2) Got the Lancers into the friendship cup
3) Made Tsukikage intentionally lose to organize and monitor the underground Lancers and as a result set up Shinji vs Yuya. (Note that Tsukikage bailing the lancers out also gave Shinji the chance to start his revolt)
4) Got Reira over some of his issues by having the king give him some advice
5) Held off security while sending Reira to secure Selena
6) Got Yuya to the stadium to fight Jack
7) Defeated Roger

Shinji would've never had the chance to actually revolt without the lancers breaking out of the underground, which was instigated by Reiji having Tsukikage lose.

Duelist Kingdom makes no sense without the first 7 volumes and NAS changed a bunch of stuff so it was adapted horribly. Battle City was pretty much the only faithful adaptation but again because all of that buildup from Duelist Kingdom and the first 7 volumes was lost it didn't have the same impact. The Millennium World arc was had a bunch of anime original content in it which I thought paled in comparison to how it was structured in the manga.

The Virtual World/DOMA/KC arcs are all the forerunner arcs for how NAS would do things in later YGO series. So if you enjoy the spinoffs a lot you would probably appreciate the filler arcs more since they borrowed those elements and used them in later series.

It's funny you mention Jojo because that's one of Kaz inspirations and it's VERY prevalent in the manga.
>>
>>145158859
Turns out Yusho is less effective than even Kazuma, who barely did anything himself
>>
>>145158824
It's also a giant hole in the argument of
>the City respects the winner of winners, no questions asked
in why a single duel would placate and pacify everyone. Jack dueling his way to the top didn't mean shit to a huge chunk of the Commons when it comes to respect, since he didn't actually do anything with his influence.

It indeed does. If Yuya doesn't lose Yuzu to Sergey, Tsukikage and Sora don't have to go rescue Yuzu after taking out the mind chip system. This means they don't face Roger in order to protect Yuzu, and therefore Sora never makes his broadcast.

This radically shifts the placement of the lancers since they all only rush to the security building because Sora and Tsukikage lost to Roger.

Furthermore; as established throughout the series, losing a duel takes a physical toll on the loser. Therefore, if Sergey loses the duel vs Yuya, he is indeed incapacitated, if not entirely, then certainly for enough time to escape. So that entire sequence shapes up differently as well.
>>
>>145157410
DM mostly uses Eternal Soul and Magician's Navigate which summons a DM from hand and then another LV 7 DARK Spellcaster from Deck. You can also banish it to negate the effect of a face up S/T for a turn too so it can stop stuff like MST/TT and any other stuff you want as long as you have a DM on the field which isn't too hard to do.


Since Red-Eyes got new support and BLS is getting more support soon, it's obvious DM will eventually get some more in a few sets. So they might get some more protection for their S/T and better boss monsters.
>>
>>145159258
Well no. The issue they took umbrage with was that Jack won, but he seemingly just rested on his laurels. They still respect him for doing the impossible, they just don't like that he didn't pull them out of the gutter.

I don't even remember Kazuma explaining anything. Yusho at least namedropped Edo and explained the starting point of the lancers vaguely. Additionally, Yusho popping up at least got Yuzu to take her clothes off. That's enough plot for me.
>>
>>145159369
>It indeed does. If Yuya doesn't lose Yuzu to Sergey

Sergey just snatches her anyway because he has a jetpack.

>Furthermore; as established throughout the series, losing a duel takes a physical toll on the loser.

That isn't always the case and Sergei isn't a full human anyway. He also gets off on pain. Sergei isn't being slowed down except by dismemberment.

He was always going to get away with Yuzu no matter what.
>>
>>145159602
Kazuma was the one who meddled with Astral's memories and sent him to Yuma, before being caught and imprisoned by Eliphas. He also left markers for the location for some legendary numbers, and helped Yuma reach Astral in Astral World through Rainbow Kuriboh.

Check 78's beginning. He lost his mind right after the victory vs Yuzu.

It's pretty much a staple in most DM decks. Every deck I've seen that topped in OCG has it at 2 or 3. It's slow but the whole point of the DM deck is to disrupt your opponent and do stuff on their turn. It combos very nicely with Dark Magic Circle and sets up Rank 7 plays or Synchro plays if you run Nights End Sorc. Plus the negate ability is great to prevent your stuff from getting destroyed.

Now as far as getting DM into hand it's not too hard. You have Illusion Magic, Circle, Pot of Duality, and Summoner's Art which is excellent. I don't think Cupidity is a good idea due to how fragile the deck is but there are plenty of ways to get DM to hand. I don't have much trouble with my deck.
>>
>>145160653
It's definitely possible. Hell, Arc Cradle was fucking great in spite of coming directly off 50 eps of shit.

Whether it'll happen or not is more up in the air.
>>
>>145159393
Wouldn't it be Buster Bladers getting new shit after Raging Tempest I doubt they're gonna continue this. The BLS support is probably just ways to fix the hand so you don't have to rely on shitty Gaia monsters

Yeah Buster Blader in the last Arc-V set and then Blue-Eyes in the 6th series 1st set and DM in the 6th series 2nd set if we keep going in this pattern. It's DM nostalgia so I'm sure they can continue it if they feel like it. I just want DM to get a couple more good cards to make it an even better deck than it currently is since I really enjoy playing it.
>>
Instead of DM can we get more magician girls? They need it more. They need a card to force your opponent to attack them, they need a faster searcher, a dark magician girl retrain of the same level and an xyz rank 6 and both decks need a more straightforward way to search cards like Dark Burning Magic, Dark Magic Attack, Dark Burning and Thousand Knives, I'd take an Orange, Banana and Strawberry Magician Girl group to add to it. Blue Eyes shouldn't need more help unless they want to give them a rank 8 xyz of their own

Eh, XYZ arc was certainly worse than everything in XY&Z by a fucking mile. But, I find myself more invested in Synchro's latter half and the current Fusion arc than I do in Pokemon currently.

To compare them directly though: It has the opposite problem of Arc-V, I'd say. It has a set cast of characters which receive constant focus, but they lack particularly good chemistry and are ultimately fairly boring as a group at times.

Nah. Best wishes shat on fifteen years of slow character development and league progression for Ash by making him more ineffectual than Kanto Ash, had shit fights and animation, and had an insufferable main cast with the sole exception of Dento who was merely kinda dull.

And nothing in Arc-V, not even XYZ arc's bullshit conclusion makes me as angry as watching Ash lose to a retard who brought 5 pokemon to a 6v6 and ultimately cause 100 eps to be completely fucking pointless, by having him regress in placing only to be shoved off to filler islands for 5 months after a brief holdover in anticlimaxland with the group's new best buddy, N.

Team Plasma and Team Flare might be the biggest cucks in the franchise, neither team got to do shit in their series. I guess the logic team plasma was hiding behind was too hard to write around and team flare's outfits were too annoying to constantly have to draw as well as their schemes being rather dark. Team Galactic however, those were some evil fucks, too bad Pokemon Hunter J did most of their work and died for it. I don't expect the next team to represent either. The writers really stopped giving a damn about the teams after magma and aqua.

I'm still impressed how they managed to fuck up this badly. Pokemon was getting increasingly better before Best Wishes, and even though the anime is by no means faithful to the games, Gen V gives a lot more of material to work with than the previous ones. And they didn't even ignore said material, they deliberately took a shit on it.
>>
>>145161974
>Ash's group feel like a family.
Eh, not really. They feel more like acquaintances with how rigid their interactions with each other are. Additionally, Citron/Clemont is one note as fuck. Serena has a neat character arc, but her interactions with the others are equally dull in that they fall into the pattern of being too nice and friendly for either comedy or any real personality to show through a lot of the time, with the recent exceptions of XY&Z 27-29 and the crossdressing ep. Bonnie/Eureka is fun and the one character that has great chemistry with everyone. Ash feels like he got all the personality sucked out of him this time though, like he's competent and a bit more chill now. But, he lacks the calmness and maturity he showed in Sinnoh and Hoenn and ultimately feels less nuanced without it or his former selfish immaturity.

The lancers might not feel like proper friends, but they're all at least entertaining characters in their own right.

Judai vs Yugi was about Judai rediscovering his joy of the game.

He didn't say goodbye to his friends because he felt he'd been too much of a burden to them already and didn't want to mess up their lives anymore.

Misawa is fucking an Amazon chick
Amon is dead
Jim stayed home
Ryo appeared earlier in the season and is wheelchair bound

The ending was the most bittersweet in the franchise to me. Everyone is going on with their lives to different places. The letter they left Judai because they all knew he'd bail on them was the saddest part. I want a follow up. Not even a movie or anything. Just an hour special or something to see what the cast got up to after the series.

Rei and Tyranno just like the rest had no idea or hint of what they would've become

I feel like the graduation is the ending and what comes after is just an epilogue/afterstory.
>>
I feel as if the duel that should have ended GX should have been the Chronos vs Judai duel.

I know that feel, I thought that watching my old GX will be a refreshing thing to do because I was a bit depressed, since it's yugioh and there's not deep plot or shit, I already have seen the first season, so I'm sure all the remaining seasons will be comfy as the first, it's just a funny guy dueling and making friends, right?

Now I feel sad even thinking in Chronos, the guy who I hated in the first season.

Something like that, the graduation is the ending for everyone, the duel is just a kind of nostalgia.

Where the fuck are the Fake Spoilers? We should have gotten them by now. Is Arc-V so unpopular now that theres no pleassure in making them now?

Maybe the nips stopped because if the fake spoilers sound more exciting than the real ones, they'll just let themselves down.
>>
>>145165945
Funny thing is last months 'fake' spoilers were indeed true. People thought pirates would never happen. So maybe the spoilers are just late this month.

I'm reading through the thread of the first episode subbed and man everyone was so civil and enjoying the first episode. There was no X SERIES IS THE BEST and X SERIES SUCKS and the general attitude was very positive.

Now compare to the threads where most people are practically disillusioned with how things have turned out over the last 2 years and just want to get off the ride.

Where did it all go wrong?

>>145166817
Generals usually begin with a few people who are kind but kind of uncomfortable around each other. This is natural, as people who are uncomfortable around their surroundings will typically act in a way that is anything but volatile. However, as the casual observers turn away, the more dedicated users will begin to form something of a culture within the general, shitposting increases, the number of tripfags/namefags goes up...etc.

This thread doesn't have all of those problems but these are typical symptoms of generals forming. It's a natural progression.

Maiami city is probably the most sunniest and costal area out of the dimensional main city, hope we spend about 3 or more episodes there in the finale.

Kamishiro is still pretty well liked. Hell, part of the issue with Synchro is that he only worked on like half of it.

Oh right, I remember that the first time I ever watched Arc-V streamed live was the week right after Daylight Savings
