Sawatari is not dead yet. He is voiced next week and he won't have a original flashback.

That said I wouldn't be surprised if he is carded next week.

>>145659008
For real though, it's just the usual 'you don't know what you have until you lose it' stories. Like Yuya with Yuzu, except with more imouto abuse.

He's dead anon, him being in the voice cast is probably because they'll use scene again just like Yuto used to be voiced in episodes even when he didn't appear because Yuya would flashback to the egao promise with him.

This will probably be about how Shun was all about good cards and win ratios before having everything destroyed teach him the importance of NAKAMA.

Which isn't too surprising giving how edgy he is.

Well true, but who else would duel Serena then? Yuri had even less interaction, and Yuya and Yugo have Yuzu and Rin to save respectively. Sawatari's the least shitty option desu.

This is honestly what's probably going to happen. I find it funny that Yuya literally cried 1 tear and then was okay. Judai had a mental breakdown when all his friends died and Atem broke when Yugi did. Atem even cried when he beat Jonouchi. Why does this show suck at emotions so much?

>>
>>145659122
Yuya's going to duel her. Him or Reira. They have the most connection to her unless Barret turns after seeing her brainwashed.
>>
>>145659154
Because Yuya and Tsukikage barely interacted other than the letter thing. The show sucks at relationship and interactions.
>>
>>145659154
Yuya obviously has mental issues after having EGAO burned into his brain after all these years. He knows no other emotion now

Even the characters realize they are playing a children's card game with their souls on the line, they're trying their best not to feel ridiculous.

But he showed up to help Yuya and co save the girls. Even if they weren't best friends you'd think Yuya would react to seeing someone who was trying to help him get turned into a card.

He didn't need a mental breakdown. But a better reaction would have been great. Shit just got real. After dancing across the whole series with practically no losses Yuya lost someone who was helping him.

Tsukikage and Sawatari by the battle beast. Even through it was suppose to be a five on five duel, the other shitters just got their asses beat by the beast man and carded while he Rambo'd the lancers by himself. If Gongenzaka actually doesn't get carded completely then I'll be shocked. It seems like they plan on ditching Yuya's friends in favor of having him team up with Asuka, Kaito, Edo, Crow and Jack instead. Sora better watch his back. Reji and Reira stayed together while he was all alone and all of academia knows he's a traitor now.

He's talking about Japan. No Arc-V character besides Shun was ever popular in Japan.

Don't think these threads or whatever english group you talk to represent Arc-V's popularity in Japan. Even when it was good it was not popular, which is why it probably got fucked over by legend shilling in the first place.

Not really, theyexpected him to be more caring, which is partly their fault for having those expectations. Still it isn't anything vital.

>Judai had a mental breakdown when all his friends died and Atem broke when Yugi did. Atem even cried when he beat Jonouchi.

>For Judai's case back in season 3 that was completely debatable of him being reckless and not thinking once about what the consequences would have been until Sho called him out on it.

>Atem and Yugi actually shared connection as well as a friendship over the episodes to establish such emotions.

Here, most of these scenes/friendships would not work so much because of how little the Lancers ever interacted during Synchro and literally not once in XYZ to ever give the expression that this is a team that would care about each other. Back in the Battle Royale, we saw Yuya going full berserk not only after watching innocent duelist get carded, Sora carding a person a person without giving a damn, and witnessing a couple of people that accompanied him(Michio and Tempei). All of those problems alone prevents the kind of events in this recent arc from having any kind of meaning.

Seriously, do it.

>>145660099
But anon, without Sayaka, Ruri would never have learned about EGAO, and therefore neither would Yuto.

Sayaka basically ruined all of Arc-V.

Wait a moment.

Where are the Monarchs?

Maybe Sawatari will find them sealed somewhere and use them like in the manga.
>>
>>145659933
>>145660102
It's just preview overreacting.
After the episode they'll all love Shun again.
>>
>>145660382
Sawatari already used Monarchs when he dueled Yuto.
>>
>>145660277
Well they built up Shun as this desperate brother looking for his sister for over 100 episodes and when we finally see them interact Shun's acting like a douche. Of course the nips are gonna be pissed just like they are when they reveal that Yuri was brainwashed into doing what he's doing and the real one is a putz just like the other Yu's he and Serena might of even had their memories wiped of each other in hopes they would serve Leo better and while it worked aces for Yuri, it went to shit with Serena because basic indoctration is nothing compared to a justice speech from her counterpart so they settled with flat out brain jacking bugs and will do the same to Yuzu

Which he still is.

Which is a flashback with zero context. I guess the nips completely forgot both of them happily watching duels together.

Arc-V regularly takes concepts from previous series and makes them more disturbing.

The parasites are clearly an analogue to the Light of Ruin's brainwashing in GX.

And really. Getting mad at brainwashing? In fucking Yugioh? This franchise had gotten more mileage out of the concept than any other throughout the years. Nobody has any right to just now be annoyed by it.
>>
>>145660473
Are we reaching youtube levels of comments here?
>>
>>145660469
To be fair to Sawatari, he was actually being smart and used Mobius and Mega Mobius to destroy all of his opponent's backrow. Unfortunately, his opponent was Yuto, the one duelist in the show who WANTS to have his backrow destroyed

I'm going by the concept that the first opponents for the bracelet girls will job.

Rin beat Yugo.
Ruri could beat Shun, then again likewise on his behalf.
Sora will lose to Yuzu and get carded.

>>145660494
Shun pre-academia invasion must of valued cards much like how a pro player would IRL. Ruri must have been the other extreme, wanting to play with cards that she liked, no matter how terrible or how badly it synergized with her deck. Yuto must have been between the two of them in philosophy, playing meta but secretly funneling Ruri cards that she would have loved to get for her petdeck.

Who thinks that Yuto ran PK Fire(sans Fusion Dante/Synchro Virgil since as he's in the XYZ dimension, there would be no Fusion/Synchros) as his deck?

>>145660738
If what I said was true about Yuto, then he and I share the same philosophy when it comes to our decks. We like them enough that we want to run the best cards for them, but recognize that it may not be the best deck out there.

>>145660803
Hence the BA portion of his deck. He tends to run a lot of stun as well.

Though Dark Rebellion is recognized as Yuto's ace so he must of summoned it plenty of times, probably as the finisher to his duels.

>Grind his foes down with BA/PK effects
>When his foes are low on life/field resources, pop Break Sword and summon Dark Rebellion to finish

>>145660856
OEPD also only doubles damage on level 5+ monsters. And of course, it lacks the searcher pendulum effect.

>>
>>145661049
Look at the top 3 characters.
Kaiba, chuuni as fuck with a huge rivalry towards Yugi. His rivalry towards Atem transcends life and death and Kaiba will literally take over whole cities for card game tournaments. Amazing and fun character.
Yugi, wants to prove himself and has a deep bond with Atem. Badass in DSOD
Judai, extremely well developed and a badass by S4 while having ties with everyone in his show. Was mentally broken and put back together. Is shipped with male and female characters and has a damn demon inside of him

Compare that to the Arc-V cast

It's OVER they need to let it go.

>>145661329
That's not how it works. Popular things aren't let go. In Gundam the UC destroys everything in popularity and that started in 1979. It gets the most merchandise because that is what sells. Konami definitely isn't going to let it go either. It makes them money. I like old decks getting new cards. It makes them viable and more fun. Too many cards were made before the game got standardized. It's nice to see something as old as Blue-Eyes getting support that makes it viable today. Same with Black Magician. I don't really care for most of the Arc-V character decks. D/D/D, Moonlights, Fluffals and Raid Raptors are cool. But Super Heavy Samurai, Abyss Actors, Ninjas, C/C/C and a shitload of other decks don't mesh with me. I'm even glad shit like Gem Knights recently got support.

And flash your talons!

Dance!
Rank-1! Lyrical Luscinia – Assemble Nightingale!

Captain Falcon: No doubt about it.
This is Ruri’s deck, both in name and reality.
These tactics are what Ruri specializes in…

Yuya: Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V:

I gotta say, Arc V may be in no way funny but the plot is making up for it. Moon Shadow's death with Sawatari is just icing on the cake. This is officially the worst Yugioh series because Ono couldn't handle the job. I hope the next series has mature/adult characters.

After reading the past threads, I guess it's time to confirm that Arc V was never popular except for Shun's character and so couldn't stand on it's feet alone.

The nostalgia characters and DSOD shilling was basically a brilliant marketing decision since the nips don't particularly give a fuck about Arc V, even when it was good.

The production of the DSOD movie also deteriorated any support Arc V could of received later on.

There was nothing on the line for almost a year and a half until now.

I'm concerned for a character that I really dislike a lot!

If that was the purpose of this episode, then I must say that they fucking nailed it!

This show has never had a great reception from what we've seen compared to from Zexal.

All the DSOD stuff is hogwash though. It wasn't a BBT that actually consumed 5Ds staff nor has Arc-V experienced any sex cult political crap that fucked its production over. The Arc-V is simply incompetent and Ono is probably too occupied with Symphogear s4 and s5 because he's making the big bucks now.

>>145664431
Seriously, we get it. Can we stop talking about that now? It's getting repetitive.

>>145664224
Totally agree. I don't know why people are mad at this episode. People are finally dying. The stakes are finally rising. Yuya crying did things to my heart. He's slowly going to become mad. I feel the person he can't forgive will be Leo and the last straw will be Leo carding Yusho in front of his eyes. It's going to be amazing.
>>
>>145664431
The cafe rankings were mostly fujos, i.e. the merch buying part of the adult fanbase. Kids and adult males care more about, you know, the cards, over going to some overpriced cafe. So it really has no indication at all unless you think fujos are the entire relevant fanbase.

Yuya: No. Maybe there’s one more…

GONGENZAKA: One more?

Yuya: This is probably something Tsukikage’s written.

GONGENZAKA: Don’t tell me…There’s 11 participants!?

Yuya: Yeah.
The five of us and five Academia students were thrown into this Field, making it 10 participants.
I don’t think the students would fight among themselves while we’re still around.

GONGENZAKA: I see.
If there’s actually 11 participants, that would make sense.

Yuya: It’s not just us and the students in this forest.
There’s someone else lurking in here.
That’s what Tsukikage wanted to tell in his last moments.

>>
>>145669038
The shortest OP so far was Burn at 19 episodes. That's like 5 months. If it starts in October and we assume it's as long as Burn it will end in March which is when the show is ending anyways. It could be possible they split the last 25-26 episodes into two new OP like most midnight anime do but I just don't see it since every OP has been used for more than a single cour of episodes.

>>
>>145670645
Eh, they kinda skirted around the topic. Edo said "all the carded people would be reborn in the new world" but that sounds more like outright killing everyone and then reviving them rather than actual uncarding.
>>
>>145670645
There was never any indication that they couldn't be brought back, considering that plot point is ripped straight from DM.

It's said that there was a method, it wasn't said exactly where in Academia or how it could be done before the "new world" is made.
>>
Wow after the last couple of episodes, there's actually threatening/carding goons in Arc V.

If this keeps up they could actually surpass the Seven Stars, Saiou, Yubel, and the Barians as villains who can actually beat the main/side/irrelevant characters. Lots of hype in the series now.
>>
>>145671077
Based on where the narrative's heading, I'm suspecting the method is for their lifeforce to be fed into the genocide machine and have the ruris be used to revive them when all is done
>>
>>145671077
The fact a method exists is enough to assume it will be used to bring carded people back. The whole theme of this show is EGAO and I highly doubt the writers have the balls to keep dead characters dead. It's just going to be some Zexal shit all over again where they deus ex machina everyone back to life.
>>
>>145671278
At least this time it fits with the overall destruction/creation plot instead of being thrown into the last third of the show.

The writers needed to hurry up and redeem the Academia warriors like Edo and the Slut Twins so that they're allies that haven't done nothing wrong.

Despite the "happening" I felt way disconnected from the episode. Where did the 11th guy even pop up from? Before summoning the jungle they were in an open space with clear vision everywhere.

>>145684713
>hyped
Tsukikage got triggered by the idea of seeing any more friends carded and set out on his own to defeat the academia team. Eeveryone else lost their nerves after that and went looking for him. It made sense IMO, it's not like they went "let's split up gang", they were confused by the very fucked up situation they'd been placed in.
>>
>>145684713
Tsukikage apparently felt guilty for letting them get captured. Sawatari was being Sawatari which may have cost him his life. Crow on the other hand was trying to be useful by looking for Sawatari, which didn't end up well in his end. Only Yuya and Gon managed to stay together and realised that there's an 11th duelist lurking somewhere.
>>
>>145684713
As for splitting up, it makes sense. The Jobbelisks are used to fighting together and winning together, but these rules make sure that it's every man for themselves. Obviously they're going to want to face their enemies alone to prevent backstabbing. The Lancers have never been trained to act as a team, with Tsukikage having his ninja honor or whatever to take on the enemies alone to make up for falling into the trap, Crow having lived by his own rules in the slums, and Shingo generally wanting he spotlight and to get the glory.

It was forced. Tsukikage rushing forward like that and blaming himself for them getting captured happened too fast and too easily. Sawatari running forward was in character but everyone spliting up was incredibly forced.

>>145684908
Splitting up doesn't make sense. If you run around as a group of 5 you can gang up on anyone who approaches you. If you split up you can be ganged up on especially since they are in enemy territory. The Lancers worked just fine before they were captured. They had a plan and everything. Nothing suggests to them that the Academia members would fight amongst themselves. They were lured to an arena set up by Academia so it would make sense to expect the 5 members chosen to fight the Lancers to know how to cooperate. It would also make sense to expect Academia to not play by the rules.

Ryo was good for his time and actually acted out his role as the top student by being unbeatable, not even Judai could touch him. Manjoume talked shit but got rekt by everybody, even Misawa of all people and the only time he stumbled was when he had to pull a Kaiba and save his brother from a Vampire.

You have to look into why those characters are the way they are. Kaito's love for his brother and father had him doing shit like stealing souls that he knew was wrong. Kaito was raised as a soldier. Kaito felt admiration for V and was upset when V left them. Kaito loved his father despite what he said and even broke down during that duel with him. Kaito is someone whose actions speak louder than their words. He puts up a front to hide his feelings.
>>
>>145686645
>Then Season 2 came along and had MUH ULTIMATE D turn him into a edgelord for no reason.

Pay attention to the show. Edo spit all over his ideals of respecting your opponent and embarrassed him on national tv. He then went on a losing streak and lost all his sponsors. He became a loser. In his underground duel he realized that he actually did care about winning and hated being looked down on. He didn't care about respect for his opponent anymore as long as he could get his glory back. It was a well done fall from grace.

This anon gets it.
If you watched Zexal and didn't almost shit yourself at these moments, you're lying.

Kaito's one of those characters who gets shit done, straight up and simple whether it be stealing souls to cure cancer, beating his own father or even battling a dragon tamer on the moon just to unlock the Numeron Dragon.
Nothing's too much for this guy.

>Gladiator beast

Oh shit, how long as it been?

>>145686690
He wasn't raised as a soldier. He was just a normal kid. He was forced to start soul hunting when Haruto fell ill. He most definitely did not love Dr. Faker. He hated him for the longest time until Faker pulled a shitty 180 at the end of their duel and said it was for Haruto all along and then Kaito just forgives him like that to move the plot along. He hides his feelings because he's socially awkward yet he has no need to be since he was born and raised like a normal fucking person. He's not like Kaiba who stayed in a house 24/7 being whipped by his shitty stepfather and forced to study with minimal breaks and never had any friends. After Haruto is saved and he "makes up" with Faker his character is done. It's as simple as that. That's why he becomes so useless and boring in Zexal II. Meanwhile, Shark and Yuma are more interesting and keep evolving throughout the whole show.

Whatever makes you feel better, Dennisfag. I pity you and your stupid character.

Sora is going to die too, just saying.
>>
>>145687007
Not to mention that GX didn't do the stereotypical thing of 'this character has been corrupted, better get the MC/other important character to turn them good again'.

Kaiser went edgy, beat the principal, Fubuki and even Sho, all of whom were trying to turn him 'good' again. He lost vs. Yubel/Johan in one of the best duels in GX, but was never truly 'converted' back.
>>
>>145687130
I hope they'll be nice enough to give him a full duel before he dies
>>
>>145687130
He hasn't died until now and he won't. Maybe.

The two of the three characters he references did get revived or never died in the first place.

So there is hope for Vector 3.0 (yanno, Dennis), it's just that he deserved more.
>>
>>145687146
>but was never truly 'converted' back.

Yeah he was. In season 4 when he was confined to a wheelchair and couldn't duel against the Jinzo guy and he saw Sho duel and beat him he realized how stupid he was for going down the path and acknowledged Sho as one who would surpass him. He felt bad about what he did and how he lived life prior to that and basically wishes he could take it back but he has to live with it. He's definitely not edgy anymore either by that point.

Remember when we said that about Tsukikage, despite being a side character? He actually managed to survive for a long time.

Point is, every character that isn't a Yuu, Legacy character or a bracelet girl are slowly going to get axed off, one by one.
>>

Sawatari and Gongenzaka say hi. Or what, did they die when I wasn't watching?
>>
>>145686986
>He wasn't raised as a soldier. He was just a normal kid.

Kaito, Droite and Gauche were shown to be soldiers at a young age. He did love Dr. Faker. He even screamed at him during the 3 on 1 duel. Do you remember what Kaito said when he asked Dr. Faker why didn't he trust his family? Specifically why didn't he believe in and trust him? Kaito loved his dad and it was eating him up the whole time. Kaito forgave his father because he found out he was possessed and not as evil as he thought. Zexal has a really strong familial bonds theme to it. It's why Tron's kids forgave him for using them.
>>
>>145686787
> It was a well done fall from grace.
That still doesn't justify it.
It's stupid development to ruin him like that.
It's almost as bad as the Neo-Spacians showing up out of nowhere just to bring back Judai or the Society of Light in general.
You have an upstanding student like Ryo then introduce Edo just to turn him into a trench coat wearing masochist and never put him back on the right path until he's practically dead anyways.
I'll always resent GX for that. Ryo didn't deserve any of that.

Sawatari may actually be dead, we don't know yet. Gon and Sora deaths are probably going to be the fuel for Yuya to lose it.
>>

>>145687186
He's going to get carded by Brainwashed!Yuzu. At best, Yuya could save him at the last second, which I hope he does.
>>
>>145687486
Vector got revived.

I won't mention the second character because people will say I'm on drugs but Sora is clearly based on that guy when you notice how similar Yuya and Yuzu are to the MCs of that show.

The third character is obviously Bruno, who did die and never got revived as far as I knew.
>>
>>145687626
Bruno and all the part 2 villains stayed dead.

Literally anything is better than black trench coats.
He wasn't even boring, he was perfect, almost like Yusei.

Indeed. These two need a tag duel.

If they don't, I demand my money back, Konami.
>>
>>145687453
What needs to be justified? Ryo was self righteous and seen as the greatest student in Academy. Him getting a kick in the head when he entered the real world and left that 3 year island of isolation was great and realistic. It wasn't a stupid development just because you didn't like it.
>>

???

Why is gon in a tag duel again? his deck is completely dead there, especially if it's legit tag duel where you share a grave. It's like they made him as an example of what happens when you try to be unique and different in a game like YGO

This is a joke right?

DON't COMPARE HIM TO YUSEI.

It's basically a Yuya/Jack tag duel.

Sure thing he isn't based on Vector.
>>
>>145687858
The difference is Vector's evil facade was more entertaining than Sora's. I only saw Sora as a villain in episode 34 and 49. Besides Vector defected upon his death, while Sora became a good guy long ago.
>>
>>145687962
You still can't say that Sora isn't based on him.

>>145687858
>Rape faces

Literally only 2 times.
>>
>>145687962
Vector's was more theatrical and pulled off the actual villain moments better, but overall I liked Sora as a villain more. He felt like a more well rounded character and his evil shit felt more like deliberate overcompensation for inadequacy than being almost comically over the top like Vector.
>>
>>145688039
He had more than that.

The only way a character could be 'clearly based on Vector' is if they spent at least a cour plotting to sabotage the MC and co. He couldn't win against the powerlevels of Shark or Yuma, but he was anything but lazy when it came to trying to screw over the people he disliked for most of his run as an antagonist.

Sora overall has done more good than harm, and never went out of his way to target and sabotage Yuya. He turned out to be a good guy who defected on his own conviction, even of a large chunk of that inner conflict that led to his decision was mostly off-screen. Also, the only time he pulled 'rape faces' was when he was playing the heel in vs Shun.

If rape faces and a creepy aura is all that's needed for a callback to Vector, then why aren't you pushing the twins to be Vector-lites?
>>
>>145688012
That's right I can't, since Vector was better than him.

I hate this meme.
Yusei was a great character and the best protagonist.
Just because he doesn't have any flaws for people to project on to doesn't make him bland or a Stu in any way.
>>
>people arguing Sora wasn't Vector 2.0
We already discussed this long time ago, and the general consensus was Sora indeed being Vector 2.0 and Bakura 3.0.
>>
>>145688073
He was also a fanboy with homo scene, and a cutesy deck that was far creepy than expected.

And I know, that's why I say that he is based on yet another character and that's the character I said that he was 'clearly' based on.

OK, laugh on me, the character is Mitsuzane Kureshima from Kamen Rider Gaim. Though only because of his relationship with Yuya and Yuzu, who are very similar to the MC and his girlfriend.
>>
El episodio de hoy me hizo ver que Arc-V se a vuelto shit
>>
>>145688211
Well it's been nothing but riding dueling for the past 3 chapters. Overall, the mystery concept of the manga is its strong point.
>>
>>145688226
Yusei was the worst character. He was too perfect and didn't develop and he was boring.
>>
>>145688211
I'd say no due to the absence of real plot
>>
>>145688250
De verdad.
>>
>>145688240
If Sora was still an evil character that actually tried to sabotage Yuya, then I would've believed you. Saying he is vector due to him being a edgy for a couple of episodes doesn't mean shit. He didn't back stab anyone that was considered as friend. I could say Yuya is vector 2.0 whenever he goes into berserk mode by that logic.
>>
>>145688241
Vector had two entirely different decks, and his real one is generic fiend/Barian whatever. Sora was genuinely interested in Yuya, while Vector was hamming up an act to get close to Yuma.

I think it's detrimental to try to push a character as "x 2.0", because if that's the case, then Sora makes for a really shit Vector. It doesn't help that the Academia antagonists until Rin have been pretty hot garbage.
>>
>>145688411

Rin is shit, though.

His Shining deck, did you actually see it? The monsters were cutesy but whenever Rei would use an effect, they would turn creepy.

This, Rin isn't even from Academia.

This. Brainwashed Rin is good.
>>
>>145688539
I was trying to be lenient. Despite her not really having a character besides being a brainwashed bracelet girl, she was more entertaining than most of Academia so far.

>>145688580
They never pretended to be cutesy, though. It's not like their expressions changed or that Vector (as Shingetsu) summoned an unexpected and terrifying boss monster.

Also, any time past major villains are brought up, it just reminds me of how Arc-V's pales in comparison so far.

Where are his parents?

If they are dead, he is an orphan. If they didn't know about the truth of Academia, then Sora is far away from his family. If they did know, then Sora has abusive parents.

It's tragic no matter the angle you look at it.

Where are Yugo's, Rin's, Yuri's and Serena's parents? Oh wait they don't have any? Therefore it's tragic!

Also just like any other Academia students parents, they send their kids off to the Academy.
>>
>>145687444
He lived as a normal kid with until after he moved to Heartland and stopped his lessons with V. The soldier stuff was started as a way to hone Kaito's skills to become the ultimate number hunter to satisfy Faker's intentions. The problem is Faker is a horrible character despite his intention to save Haruto. He was basically in control of himself the whole time until the very end where Vector took control of his body but we saw many times when he was alone he was saying generic villainy things when he had no reason to. Even if Vector was watching him he already knew Faker wanted to save Haruto so it wouldn't look weird. What's worse is we never saw Faker agonize over sacrificing Kazuma or Tron or hurting Kaito. He just kind of apologized and expected forgiveness for that. Now you say Kaito forgave Faker because he found out he was "possessed" but that's wrong because he knew of the other shit Faker did when he wasn't possessed yet he didn't forgive him for those things but because he was taken over by some otherworldly entity. You say his love for his father was eating up at him yet we never saw Kaito ever feel that until that duel. He was shown to be distrustful and hating of Faker the whole up to that point. It makes his forgiveness of Faker come across as even weaker at that point. I get that Zexal has a theme of familial bonds, it's what prompted Kaz to consider giving the series the green light because he never covered that theme in depth before. The problem was other than the Arclights love for each other, Kaito, Rio/Shark, and Yuma's familial bonds come across as cheap because the familial interactions aren't as strong as they should be.
