Getting the Lancers in a 5v5 vs a bunch of academia students, Colonel Sanders, and his pet monkey was also part of the plan.

As they reunite after a long time, Ruri breaks down in tears while Kurosaki is happy that his sister is safe. But suddenly, Ruri challenges Kurosaki to a Duel! Kurosaki notices that Ruri is being controlled by someone. Resolving to save his sister with his own strength, he fights by himself, but…

Episode 120: バトル・ビースト – Batoru Bīsuto
(The Battle Beast)
Yuya and co. pursue an enemy lurking in the jungle Field, the Duelist called Battle Beast, who is Sanders’s strongest student.

So we're finally getting to the full academia assault. Seeing each ep's spoilers on its own didn't make it seem all that great. But, the whole fighting through academia's ranks as a team thing is pretty cool and it's nice to see that Kaito is nowhere to be found.

>>145242476

She was brainwashed and even forgot what happened with her teacher.

Calling it, Shun will succeed in defeating Ruri, likewise with Yugo, however for some reason the Ruri's are still brainwashed. The only way to undo the brainwashing is the power of EGAO

On top of all this, Yugo is too physically fucked up to do shit, in which he'll fall into irrelevancy until he inevitably duels Yuri outside of Academia.

>>145242833

It was never implied the ruris would be some kind of malignant entity, that's the Yus. If anything they're the force that keeps Hitotsu ni at bay.

And now they are getting brainwashed to fight the heroes the chances of a rurifusion creating the final boss is beyond dead.

This is technically possible although very unlikely to happen. Even then DM remains the most grounded series of all 5.

If the next Yugioh Series would get a new director/writer would best fit it that's can easily equal out characters at best?

I really don't want Yoshida with the fact that he's already doing the Arc-V manga and Ono was doing a fine start but then began to lost it. Can't really be help much with him even admitting he's not very good at long running series which would explain why he likely dropped at the end of 64 of 5D's.

>>145247255

What really triggers me is that Konamy is a rich company and still do quick and rushed stupid things like a low budget studio. Can't they hire a team or just more writers to help?

>It's a GX makes everything worse episode.

>>145247255
So far Kuwabara is probably the best director we've had even if Zexal had a ton of problems. Ono starts strong but peaks very early. We've seen this twice now with 5Ds peaking at Dark Signers and Arc-V peaking in Standard. From there he loses control of his own story.

As far as writing goes, Tomioka who did the Fortune Cup before leaving to do Pokemon would be the best choice for writing. I don't mind Kamishiro either but he needs to take a back seat and not be the head writer.

Most likely scenario will be Kuwabara as director since DSOD was a huge success and Yoshida as writer since Arc-V is the first time he's not writing for any YGO series.

>>145241487
The first 2 are confirmed, the last 2 aren't

>>145247634
Can the lancers be really considered a team at all? From what Synchro showed at the beginning is that they make a shitty team that need a lot of devleopment which is what was one of the main issues with that arc in general:
>Reiji: Even though he's the leader he pretty much uses his team to try to get word from the councilmen(who were the most pointless additions to the arc).
>Shun: While in his PTSD didn't really took any value of the team until his duel with Crow(while it wasn't that great helped him to loosen up a bit).
>Serena: As most people have hyped her up for being straightforward and aggressive honestly did more harm than good for the team in the end. Her being reckless enough that caused them to get caught and put in jail.
>Sawatari: An egotistical dumbass that literally screams the enemy of their secret weapon after he himself got his ass kicked off screen. While chooses to follow Serena he doesn't really do much himself.
>Dennis: a spy who really made no connections to anyone which makes what he did later on pointless.
>Gongenzaka: he's toned down to being Yuya's groupy after display a bit of support and his infamous "believe in your friends".
>Yuya: which this arc was more about was thinking about ditching his friends that were in prison to save Yuzu(pretty sure even she would have disagreed to that decision). Then instantly dismisses Jack's advice declaring he's wrong since he's father his main idol.

In the end Tsukikage and Reira were the most developed out of that whole arc.

>>145248033
Didn't Ono dropped at 64 leaving Yoshida taking his place for the remainder of 5D's?

>It's a 5D's makes everything worse episode.
Fixed.

>>145248180

Yep, and now with Jack and other 5D people coming back again, be ready to seeing them completely forgotten in the history.

So I've finally getting caught up to the series after a few past issues, I want to ask why the series seems like it's restraining Yuzu far too much in dueling? Is it for some plot thing or just Yugioh terms of characters that aren't the main protagonist.

>>145248180
Regarding shun, that's not quite accurate.
Even though he behaved like he didn't care about them, he went out of his way to save their asses in 62-63 and even after Dennis's betrayal, he still showed approval of Yuya's dueling by smiling at him in 78. Ultimately this served to show in 81 that he was actually trying to keep himself from caring about the lancers with his whole thrice repeated "I have no comrades" rant when he actually truly did. It's not very well handled, but it was there.

Sawatari is certainly an egotistical dumbass, but he's a loyal dumbass who is shown to be willing to work toward the greater good when the situation calls for it like in 100 and 107 with returning the family's food and with sayaka/allen's departure respectively.

Ultimately, they're a clunky team. But they are a team.

>>145248480
She's a girl in a Yugioh series. She's lucky that she got so many duels already.

>>145248392
The writer for 5Ds dropped at 64. Ono stayed on as director. Yoshida became head writer after 64.

>>145248480
>women being relevant at all
lmao, literally turned into damsel in distress who wears a plot device

>>145248392
No. Ono directed all 154 episodes. It was Tomioka who left after episode 26 and Yoshida took over for writing after that.

>It's a Legacy character makes everything episode.

>>145248587
I wouldn't really say a damsel since she was only captured twice. Plus with most of the other characters being captured before in this series there's not much complaints about them compared to this.

So basically these spoilers don't look to be giving any new info on the important plot points. In other words 25 more episodes to explain EVERYTHING. This will be a trainwreck.

>>145241102
Please no Accel Synchro... if there must be a new CW upgrade it should be an OE-CW Synchro Pendulum

>>145248480
Most female characters become useless at this point. It's sad that she's going to only duel while brainwashed.

>>145248690
You need a d-wheel for accel.

Two of the worst series, GX and 5D's get the most focus while the best one gets the least.

Judai and Yusei weren't even popular, they were fucking card game jesuses Fucking hell, Yuya is heading that way too. This ridiculous man bullshit

>>145248674
That's because they actually duel, to pay off for their mishaps.

>>145248490
I do agree even if Shun's change wasn't that great. I wouldn't really call that whole thign Dennis' Betrayal since Shun already suspected him, he barely made any interaction with the team, and Reiji was implied he knew the whole time yet game him a shit ton of pendulum cards.
Sawatari while having many flaws and seen as the lovable loser there are certain things to him that work. Unfortunately it's usually downplayed way too often especially how he and Gogenzaka were treated in XYZ.
The main problem with me about the team was the way it was handled it felt very last second rather than something that would grow into a greater cause.

>>145248823
Judai is popular though.

>>145248823
>Best one
>Zexal
Fucking laughable.
Also:
>Judai
>Card game jesus

>>145248823
>best one gets the least

We just had like 3 Kaito duels in a row. There's still a chance for one more legacy character from Zexal too.

>>145248674
She literally could have turned around and dueled Serena, but no she actually allowed herself to be captured

>>145248936
>I can protect myself!
>Daw, I can't!

It's almost laughable.

>>145248866
yeah, I'd definitely agree with that. The Lancers wasted a lot of the potential for growing together as teammates by being perpetually split up for their introductory arc and otherwise having their relevance downplayed amidst other things and while the end result's still functional, it absolutely feels really wonky.

I reall feel for Yuzu/serena's voice actress seeing as all the lines are
>YUYA!!!!
or
>HANASE!!!

>>145248936
The problem with that is it at times fits with her character being somewhat too kind and trusting not knowing the you do put that trust into can turn on you like a dime. But there are far too many problems in the end.

>>145248823

>judai
>the only character that stop being a kid and grow up
>unpopular

You probably only watched until S3, watch the remaining season.

>>145249063
I feel even worse for Kotori's VA since she's the only female YGO VA that actually knew how to play the game and liked playing it in real life. Yet they only gave her one duel in the whole series where she was braincontrolled. That was sad.

>>145249075
>someone grabs your arm and twists it behind your back
>scream and do nothing about it
yea she really became useless as fuck

>>145249197

Well, she became the kidnapped princess after standard tournament desu.

>>145249167
It by all means pisses me off with Kotori literally being the only main girl to be in every episode in her series which literally that would have been better suited with Yuzu as well as the voice actor being a fan, decent duelist in real life, having a fairy like deck, and could been used in Arc-V. By all means her recent VA is good but what was this whole deal about contracting thing back in Zexal.

>>145248936
It's also sad when you realise she's going to only duel when she's brainwashed and then that's it, no more for the rest of the series.

>>145249297
> she became the kidnapped princess after the sandard tournament
>was kidnaped for the first time 40 or so episodes after that

While I agree Yuzu lost too much relevance and that's a bad thing, people blow the damsel in distress thing way out of proportion.

>people forgot she was literally a damsel in distress in the 3rd episode

>>145249373
>Out of proportion
Pretty sure they aren't. The last time she was remotely interesting was with her duel against Chojiro. Sergei if you push it. That's about 40 episodes. After that it's like playing chase with her.

Are you sure? Even if she doesn't was officially kidnapped, everyone was crying already "BRING YUZU BACK BUUUUH", and then the drama just got real.

>>145249496
>Warning them
In the end, it didn't even matter since Synchro is out of the picture and won't be prominent again.

>>145249522
I agree she losing screentime and overall relevance is a grave problem for Arc-V.
I was just complaining about the whole damsen in distress stuff, that didn't become a frequent thing until somewhat recently.

>>145249449
I liked her tag duel with Sora in 83, it was a nice nod to their relationship as master and student, as was the rest of that episode.

Yuzu was also interesting in 95 when she tackled Roger into his chess table to stop his speech

In 112 she planned to attack Academia, and that's interesting.

The issue with Yuzu is that she IS actually interesting, but she ultimately gets far too little focus which makes her occasionally a frustrating character to watch

>>145249496
Would have done much better but like she and other characters were toned down in favor of Yuya, Jack and Crow.

>>145249561
Plus Synchro's pretty downright unlikable and ended with pretty much no risk to them after 50 episodes while Xyz literally has with worse with shorter episodes, destroyed families left/right, and a rushed ending.

>>145242075
Kaiba is in the afterlife dueling his husbando

>>145249664
Crow was barely relevant. If anything it was the council and Shinji that ate up loads of time

>>145248901
Coulda fooled me, Yubel and Neos are completely unplayable with his deck, his ace isn't even a fusion monster and they constantly switch between it and Shining Flare Wingman along with Judai' hairstyles in artwork.

>>145249585
It's about being mostly useless, not about being a damsel in distress. I can't take her seriously if all she does is give pep talks to her childhood friend, in which we already know he'll take her word for it.

>>145249654
I agree. Overall, there were far too many problems Synchro started with this and missed opportunities in making her more stronger than she was before.

>>145249496
This was hilarious in retrospect as the City residents didn't even care about the Jobelisks when they invaded because they didn't even bother to attack and invade the city.

>>145249723
No one said he had a good deck. Hell, 90% of GX archetypes are shit. Judai himself was very well liked though

>>145249654
>The issue with Yuzu is that she IS actually interesting, but she ultimately gets far too little focus which makes her occasionally a frustrating character to watch
Pretty much sums up my thoughts on her.
And this is a problem Arc-V has with several characters.

>>145249778
So in the event there's another crossover movie will they finally let his Neos be good or just fuck it over like the potencial OTK on wheels that was Neos Knight? God damn, Neos Knight.

>>145249654
>Episode 83
Still proves that she can't handle a situation on her own, even against mocks.

>Episode 95
And yet she can't even escape from Serena's grapple.

>112
It wasn't only her, Asuka herself made the decision to act against Academia.

>>145249898
>83
Not even Yuya could handle security on his own.
>95
Alright. But that brings up the question: could you quickly escape the grasp of someone who is your exact physical equal?

>112
True. However, it's still an interesting move that Yuzu was perfectly ready for.

>>145250070
She could try pull of moves like Yuya

>>145249898
I mean you could tell Yuzufags gave up when they start sprouting bullshit like MUH OMNI YUZU, when in reality brainwashing is the method to make her go evil. It's going to end up with her jobbing to the MC, in which she'll be sidelined again.

Yuri when does that magnificent bastard appear again?

>>145250159

>>145250366
Except Kotori didn't do shit even while brainwashed.

>>145250951
Nah, that expression is too proud for Ruri.

you know it's kinda weird. Ruri,Rin and Serena clearly remember their days with their friends and act accordingly but suddenly it's like a switch gets turned on and they turn violent in Rin and Ruri's case and in Serena's a loyal academia agent. What the hell kinda brainwashing is this? is it a GX reference to how the society of white happened? Chazz, Alexis and Bastion, even if nobody gave a shit about him, clearly remember who they are and what they were post brainwash but they turned cruel and wacky in Bastion and Chazz's cases. Huh, maybe that's how they'll break the brainwashing on Yuzu, just have Yuya piss her off enough that she starts shaking it off on her own then defeat her outright. Now, what would Yuya have to do to make Yuzu angry?

Brainwashing in stuff like this is usually about changing behavior, tastes and loyalities, not erasing memory.

I'm currently on the fence if it's like a switch/trigger that makes the new personalities kick in or if after brainwashing the new selves are in control full time and they're just acting to make the heores lower their guards. From what we've seen could go either way.

He probably wasn't popular and he didn't really have interesting cards. His Magnet Warriors were cool but with Heroes and Cyber Dragons flying around he probably looked bad to the Japanese fanbase.

Okay so who actually produces the cards in the yugioh-universe?
there are clearly a seemingly uncountable amount of different cards since in universe there are tons of competitive decks
It seems almost impossible that Industrial Illusions can make that many cards, also Leo corporation seems to also be able to print cards
so what the fuck is the deal with the cards in the yugioh universe?

>>145254006

>he is not famous
>let's fuck with that character

Fucking cruel japs desu.

>>145254197
Duelists with sufficient plot relevance can pull cards out of their own asses.

>>145254197
They simply print that many cards.
Card games are far more important in Yu-Gi-Oh's world and society so it's not too farfetched to think they do have a colossal infrastructure for creating and printing new cards.

Usually when it comes to protagonists and villains they have cards of magical origins, but those are too few to take into account.

File: image.jpg (278KB, 960x1280px) Image search: [Google]

I've been thinking, what determines if a person can be carded or not?
I'm guessing it has to do if they show signs of defeat, like losing the duel or running away or giving up or even suicide. However, it doesn't explain how Academia carded the mother, father and baby that were shown in 100 think it was that episode, as they were just sitting and relaxing.
Any ideas?

>>145254336
but what's stopping someone from just making an outlandishly OP card that just makes you win for summoning it and it's like a 4 star?

>>145254575
Autobalance. See yuya vs Reiji

>>145254563
It has nothing to do with any of that from what I can tell. It seems all you need to do is press the little button on the Academia duel disk and poof you're a card. I think the duels are just a formality.

>>145254006
And then they never printed his Magnet Warriors.
Maybe in the next Dragons of Legend.
Fun fact: Magnet Warrior Σ＋ made a cameo in the Fusion Dimension's You-Show

>Doctor fried chicken instead of based NANONE
FUCK

>>145254575
Regular people don't make cards.
And usually people who have cards of mystical origins don't get to pick what they do.

You have a case of someone making very overpowered cards just for himself with Pegasus' Toon World. He was only able to do that because he created the game, so it's his choice to not release some cards.

In Arc-V's case, it seems the cards autobalance and enforce the rules on their own, like >>145254797 said.

>>145241413
Me, after seeing the summaries

>>145254563

Duel disks protect from being carded, unless you lose a duel, then you're like a civilian.

I suppose it depends. In DM it was Industrial Illusions and probably KaibaCorp later. GX and 5D's were the same. Not sure about Zexal and Arc-V though.

>>145259559
Leo Corporation makes cards in Standard.

But if I had to guess, they took over the business like Kaiba Corp, not invented the game like Industrial Illusions.

>>145254197

Have you even watched the series? Reiji tried to make overpowered cards, but they didn't work right. This is shown in his first duel with Yuya and in some dialogue scenes of the Standard arc.

>>145259961

Nah, he did some shitty cards.

Guess that explains how they are going to fill time up until the final battle. Filler and fodder. How lovely. Ruri and Rin are both defeated in like 1 episode too. Amazing! Yuri still isn't around? Fantastic! Jack coming back to take screentime from characters who actually needs it? Wonderful!

I won't argue about Rin and Ruri because I'm not liking that too, it had potential for more than just one episode each, but what else do you suggest for an academia invasion arc besides making their way through fodder until reaching the place?

At least it won't be enemies of the day, as there's this Academia teacher who will antagonize them during this mini-arc. And by 121's spoilers, I doubt he's going to last much longer than that.
As long as we don't have another arc of fighting Academia soldier after this guy, I'm ok with it. Going straight to Yuri and the Professor would feel too easy and underwhelming.

>>145260838

>but what else do you suggest for an academia invasion arc besides making their way through fodder until reaching the place?

What about using the villains they had showed us? Like instead of making edo/pocket watch guy/tyler sisters simple changing sides so suddenly, they retreated and back for revenge? That could be a LOT better than importing the GX monkey or the pirate.

>>145260838
>besides making their way through fodder until reaching the place?

Using villains from the show? You know, the ones that changed sides for no reason at all? Sora and Dennis changing sides was fine but everyone else was forced and rushed. The Tyler Sisters should have carded Allen, Sayaka, Gon and Sawatari before being beaten by a berserk Yuya and angry Shun. They should have then returned to Academia before being killed. Edo should have put up a better fight and not lost to Yuya at all. Make him a wall Yuya can't climb even while berserk. Have berserk Yuya defeat tons of Academia members and card them. Then when Yuya snaps out of it he's terrified of his power and what his anger can do. Have Yuya, Kaito and Shun arrive at Academia after breaking into the Xyz Dimension base. Maybe even give Yuto his body back somehow. Instead we have no villains leading up to the end.

>>145260487
Such a fuccboi

>>145261587
>>145261821
I agree with all that you said about using Edo and the Tyler Sisters more. That would have been a lot better, but I was thinking on terms of what the show has left for the future, and not on terms on what they could have done better. There's a ton of things Arc-V could have done better at several points, I don't see why keep hung on those when discussing how the future events will play out.

Now that they have gone this way I can't see any other route to take. The plot and major enemies left are not enough to fill 30 episodes of content, that's why I don't have a problem with a "fighting our way towards academia" mini-arc, as long as it doesn't stretch farther than these 4 announced epidodes. Because there's still time to do a strong last stretch of the show with 20 or so episodes, but probably not with less than it.

It also seems they want to save the major character duels to after the final opening debuts.

>they rushed Xyz for this filler crap

>>145262837
Kaito gets thrown from the moon tower because of Ruri, probably not even a duel, Gon tries to remind the writers he's suppose to be a main character and gets injured for it as JACK ATLUS rides in on his D wheel to duel in his place. Yugo will probably save Rin, but be injured in the process and hopefully die to Yuri who arrives to take Rin back from him for more brainwashing.

>>145261439
Wasn't worth it. Yugo and Rin were the only good parts. If Kaito only had 1, maybe 2 duels prior to that, his finish would've had more of an impact for me, but that was his 5th featured duel and 8th overall and each of them more or less played the same. Would've been much more interesting if it was Yuto doing that, possessed by Yuya or not.

Fun Fact: Kaito has had more duels in 16 episodes than Yuto has in the entire series so far. If you're wondering, Yuto has had 4 featured duels including the time he took over for Yuya in 104 and 6 overall.

>>145262321
Yuri vs Yugo has been hyped for like 30 episodes. It needs to hurry up and happen. It's like one of two duels left in the entire show with some hype behind it.

>>145263083

It's not just the opening. It's the fact that they confronted each other and Yugo chased Yuri around Synchro. They finally started up a duel that got interrupted by bullshit towards the end of the arc.When they met up in Fusion Yugo was still pissed at Yuri and attacked him. Yugo has a grudge against Yuri and it needs to be seen through.

>>145263151
Probably doesn't care about him since he's a loser. I wouldn't either the guy is fucking useless as a tag partner because of how his deck works. Also, what the fuck at Yuya getting a jobber aura now. He defeated Edo and the Sisters mainly on his and Iggy now he needs help to beat pirate fag and Tarzan and Bernie? Man, it's Yuma all over again, Yuya's only high tier strong when the writers want him to be, this is going to be those stupid ass lock tactics again,isn't it? That's the only way Barret and the pirate were able to take Yuya as well. How meta, they can't write a duel with Yuya's deck where his opponent is a legit threat so they just make it so he can't play.

>>145263328

>>145263367
Academia is all about the floodgates with their cards. So it's to be expected that Yuya can't play against floodgates. His deck is particularly weak to them.

>>145263690
This. Yuya might be strong, but his entire dueling style is aggro as fuck and therefore has a guaranteed weakness to control. Hell, that's basically his character dynamic with Reiji.

>>145263791
Imagine someone opening anti-spell fragrance and mistake on Yuya's standby phase

I guess aggressive play is more exciting then pulling off a plan and fucking your opponent over.

Kinda like how Bastion once fought Judai but using Curse Seal of the forbidden spell. He had that duel had it not been for Judai top decking Miracle Fusion. I think since that duel the only other way Judai could fuse without a polymerization card was through Fusion Gate and the Neos contact fusions. Isn't that what allowed him to finally beat Aster? He fused out Flare Wingman, it lost to either Dreadmaster or Dogma and then he contact fused Flare Neos and defeated Dogma which won him the duel.

>>145263791
Heck the entire playbook of Academia is to floodgate the hell out of your opponent and/or inflict enough effect damage to end the duel. We see that in Barrett/Jobelisk force/Tyler sisters.

Expect to see here on out Yuya struggling against his opponents here on out due to them utilizing floodgates against Pendulum summoning. I expect Yuya vs Brainwashed!Yuzu to be the same.

The sheer irony that Melodious is essentially IRL a floodgate deck.

>>145241487

List of characters that need to die:
>Sawatari
He's done shilling his monsters, he needs to go out in a big sacrificial hurrah to finish off his character development
>Gon

>Kaito
Need to lose to stop his Gary Stu status from gaining more presence, preferably to Ruri
>Tsukikage
Protecting Reira to fulfill the OP, join his brother
>Sora
Too many death flags, should go down to Yuri to help boost him from useless Yuu to actual threat

>>145264345
Gon is likely to go out in this upcoming arc if Jack is replacing him. Kaito maybe likely as well. Sawatari might go out against Serena/Yuri.

>>145264345
You forgot Shun.

His role is basically complete upon reaching Ruri. The only thing he has left to do is die, preferably as Yuto watches.

>>145264214
>Barret floodgate against special summons and special summoned monsters
>Pirate floodgate against summons from hand
>Guardians just using bad stunshit against boss monsters

>>145264449
Yeah, that was implied though by the previous post. Yugo and Shun are probably dead due to how the two confirmed spoilers have no mention of them.

It's funny seeing the NAC meltdown with these new summaries.

>>145264503
What are they saying?

>>145264503
With good reason. Nothing to be excited about.

>>145264486
Yugo and Shun are not dying right now. Those summaries don't mention anything about Kaito, Yusho, Asuka or Edo either but they obviously aren't dying. Shun and Yugo will beat their opponents and probably break their brainwashing. They'd make a much bigger deal if they were dying.

Essentially many people are calling Arc-V out for padding the story and basically calling it filler at this point while a few are trying to defend Synchro, xyz, and now Fusion. Complaints about lack of proper character interaction, all the one shot villains, stunted character development, treatment of legacy characters vs arc-v characters, etc.

Basically all the shit we've been complaining about for some time now but finally NAC is starting to acknowledge the flaws of the show and can no longer hide from the fact that Arc-V is nowhere as great as it was once thought to be.

>>145264725
Dennis wasn't an important character. Shun and Yugo sort of are. It would be really stupid for Shun to show up, die and then have Kaito and Edo tell Yuya and co Shun died on his way there. It'd be dumb to kill Yugo without giving him a proper duel with Yuri or even a meeting with Yuya.

Unless they invent a time machine, there's nothing they can do to fix "it".

Is this how each protagonist's opening move usually goes?

>Yugi plays dark magic veil special summoning Dark Magician Girl, then plays Sage's stone special summoning Dark Magician then sets 2 cards

>Judai would play fake hero, special summoning Neos from the hand, then normal summon a neo-spacian like glow moss, contact fuse them to fusion summon glow neos, equip it with Instant Neo space and set 1 card.

>Yusei plays one for one, discarding Quilbolt Hedgehog and special summoning Tuningware from his deck, normal summons Junk synchron, activating it's effect to special summon quilbolt from the grave,plays Star changer from his hand to increase Junk Synchron's level by 1 then using the effect of tuningware to increase it's level by 1 he tunes the level 4, junk synchron, level 2, tuningware and level 2 quilbolt hedgehog to synchro summon the level 8 Stardust Dragon.

>Yuma's play would be Gagaga Magician then play Gagagawind to special summon Gagaga Girl as a level 4 monster overlay then to xyz summon Number 39:Utopia and set 1 card

>Yuya always pendulum summons on his opening move and he always goes for 2 monsters so it could be something as simple as the standard Timegazer, Stargazer, Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon flanked by 2 Performapals combo

What a bunch of overextending losers. I mean it's okay in the anime where nobody can fuck anybody on their first round nor do people rely on removal effects as often as real life players do.

Defending Synchro and Fusion makes sense. Synchro fucked up in terms of properly developing everyone, maintaining academia's presence, and properly developing the team dynamic, but as an overall experience it worked (even if it was still a bit clunky) and came to a good finish.

Fusion is too early to tell.

But, how the fuck do you defend XYZ arc?

>>145264956
Anyone checked 2ch to see if they're saying anything about the summaries?

>>145264953
No?

Yugi rarely opens with Black Magician and Judai rarely opens with a Neos fusion. Yuma opens Hope frequently but usually through easier means than what you posted.

>>145264863
He really was unfortunately. He lost to Shun in episode 75 and left the show completely. He didn't even come back until almost 40 episodes later. Then he only sticks around for 3 episodes before carding himself. We hardly much about him either. How are you supposed to care about that?

Go back and time and make the main characters interact a lot more with each other instead of nobodies.

Or go back even further and hire a different staff. Even if it turns out to be entirely garbage instead, being bad from the start prevents anyone from really getting their hopes up early on, just to crush them later.

>>145264876
Fix, no. But for now there's still hope for a good final arc and ending. That wouldn't make the bad things any less bad but it would leave a better final impression.

>>145264876
Honestly at this point I can't really say. All you can hope for is that when they made Arc-V they started with the ending in mind, so at least that won't come off as very rushed once we get there. Otherwise just lower your expectations completely and you'll probably enjoy it more.

>>145264503
As expected. They're always like that.

>>145265213
>Hire a different staff
Fuck that. Regardless of what happens, Standard Arc is worth keeping and Yuya/Reiji II was a perfect finish to it.

>>145265026
>Yuma opens Hope frequently but usually through easier means than what you posted.
Like all those fucking spells that said "You can treat this monster as 2 overlay materials" I hated every single one of those spells since they never released in the real game AND in the real game anything summoned through spells are tokens and TOKENS CANNOT BE USED AS XYZ MATERIAL. They literally did that so they wouldn't be a broken as Synchro was and then immediately shat on their own rule for the sake of lazy writing.

>>145264503
So most of /a/ and NAC are pretty much disillusioned with Arc-V now. I guess that just leaves r/YGO. They're still pretty positive/excited about the show.

>>145265392
>Wouldn't be as broken as Synchro
Man, that shit didn't last long at all.

>>145265442
I'm still pretty excited on the whole. I'm just a bit put off by wasting time on admittedly needed duels vs random academia soldiers and kinda hoping we have some good character interactions to make up for it.

Even after letting us down Arc-V is still being an enteraining Yu-Gi-Oh series for me.
Some of the posts in these threads make me wonder if people have the previous ones in recent memory. All had pretty much the same share of problems. Different problems at times, but there's still no consistently good Yu-Gi-Oh anime.

>>145265368
Yuya vs Reiji II was a great start to a potentially interesting rivalry/character dynamic that was a little different to past main rivalries, but like with so many other things in this show, it hardly goes anywhere before they're friendly co-workers. There's still some small hope, but I'm doubting it until I actually see it.

>Bringing back a character whose only relevant moments were shills and meaningless plot reveal
???

>>145265725
Agreed. Even with all this show's flaws, it still manages to keep me entertained on some level week to week.

>>145265725
I've seen all the Yugioh series barring all of the Doma arc.

They all had awful lows at some point(s), but higher highs that had a modicum of catharsis. Moments that felt like the characters dueling were throwing absolutely everything they had into it for something they really cared about. It's part of why I rewatched Yuya vs Reiji II like 4 times, but I don't really feel that same impression elsewhere from the show.

There were also at least a few villains who were marginally more interesting than Academia has been so far. Dull antagonists make for a dull conflict, which makes for a dull story. I felt more for irrelevants like Team Taiyo than the twins, Edo, and Kaito combined.

Which YGO characters were designed by Takahashi? Particularly curious about the females.

>>145266070
The only one I know for sure is Anna.

>>145266070
A good number of the main GX characters, same for 5D's, some for Zexal (Yuma and Astral for sure), and none for Arc-V (Naohito Miyoshi designed some main characters instead).

>>145266128
>>145266202
If he posts art of a non-main character, does that mean he designed them?

>>145266465
I dunno. It's not like there's a rule he can't draw a character he didn't personally design, from his own franchise.

Would it be possible to make a complete list? Probably not, right? There's probably some characters whose designs have not been commented on by any staff members, right?

>>145264979
Other than it didn't overstay its welcome like Synchro in a 150-ish episode series and that some of the duels were enjoyable, you really kinda don't from a plot standpoint.

>What was the point of Slowpoke?

>>145267526
There's an artbook of the pre production sketches he's done for the spinoffs up to Zexal. If you can find scans of that (might be on NAC) you could make a list based off of that.

>>145267600
Duel Art, was it? I believe that book doesn't feature Tetsuo or Tokunosuke, though, who people say he designed.

tfw you dropped this at the episode where asuka fights some academia guys to protect yuzu

does it get better after that?
did they show yuyas dad yet

>>145267832
>does it get better after that?
lmao, not really
>did they show yuyas dad yet
Yeah

>>145267832
>Did they show Yuya's dad yet
If you watched the ep where Asuka showed up, you would know the answer to that.

XYZ only gets progressively worse after 105.
Fusion arc (Second half of 112 onwards) is pretty alright so far, but we're basically just waiting for shit to happen currently. All the lancers aside Shun are together again as of 115 though.

>does it get better after that?
Varies. Couple of enjoyable duels, but most of the plot will hurt. Should start getting better soon though where we're at currently, we all hope.

>did they show yuyas dad yet
Yes, he's actually a regular in the show now.

>>145267832

You forgot about Yuto assuming direct control of Yuya once.

>>145267992
no point watching if edo sucks wtf he was the coolest guy in GX,is he just jobber tier now?
does he get any synchro monsters?

>>145267991
why did he abandon xyz dimension?

>>145267992
And tomorrow, brainwashed Ruris. And Shun returns.

>>145267588
tfw you realize:
Kaito steals screentime from Shun
Jack steals screentime from Gon
Edo is going to steal screemtime from Sora, I guess.

>>145268057

>Edo finds him and ask if he is the one spreading EGAO

>Yusho actually beast Edo with SMILE WORLD
>Edo has conflicts between academia and EGAO

>>145268057
It was an accident during a duel with Edo. He got sucked by a vortex.

He established a You Show Duel School in Fusion to train people who fled from Academia.

>>145268124
>>145268134
fucking boring imo,im just gonna watch amvs of the duels and skip the shit story

>>145268057
>The coolest guy in GX

You misspelled Manjoume.

Why would Edo use synchro monsters?

>Why did Yusho abandon XYZ
We still don't know. He mentioned something about Edo, but virtually everything he says about that whole time feels shady as fuck and even his departure from XYZ looked more like the forced return thing Sora did in 36.

>>145267992
>Yusho is a cripple

ftfy

>>145268175
Yusho wasn't even looking at his disk when he was ported to Fusion, so either Edo did it on accident without knowing, or someone else was watching.

>>145268175
>Why would Edo use synchro monsters?

I mean shit, he only got 1 fucking Fusion monster and it's trash. They didn't even get that part right.

He is funny, but not really cool, but I loved his developement anyway, I think that the writers tried to do something like Manjoume with Sawatari, but they failed miserable.

>>145268701
Dystopia guy himself is not bad. Virtually all of the other support edo got was.

Asuka's ritual is pretty great too.

>>145268549
Isn't it kind of weird that Yusho saw Yugo in broad daylight and thought nothing of the resemblance

>>145268799
Sawatari isn't a failure. The problem with him is that while he gets gradual development, that development is kept largely out of focus, so it doesn't feel as satisfying as what we got with all the time in GX that explicitly focused on Manjoume.

>>145268807
Compared to the other's it's pretty bad

>Dystopiaguy
>Not bad
>Random burn effect that will never do too much damage
>Shitty effect based on attack change which no cards in the meta really focus on
>Destruction effect targets
>If you buffed the card its attack goes back to normal if you use destruction effect
>Needs to be summoned by shitty poly or even shittier D Fusion

It's trash. No D-Hero decks are going to run this shit. Bloo-D is better in every single way.

>>145268872

>>145268586
>Yuri will never call you daddy

>>145269149
Quite frankly the only thing that puts it above DED is having D-Hero in the name and the easier summoning conditions. DED has better stats, a better effect and sort of floats.

>>145269148

One of the best moments desu, so sad after season 1 he didn't get much attention (or any other character).
