>Rafflesia can stop Azure Eyes
I mean, I guess good for you that almost half the build is Neos related rather than just being completely Generic R4nk Featuring Dark Law which seems to be the default """"HERO"""" build these days. But this doesn't seem like it can, on average, beat many of the other legacy archetypes aside from BLS.

>>146315475
Just errata that name! That thing is wasting text slots. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>146315923
Yeah why not just errata the name to something like Froggy Jam, Croaking Jam, Exceptfor Jam or even Harpie's Red Eyes Frog the Fusion Guardian Jam

>>146315904
>>Rafflesia can stop Azure Eyes
Yeah, she chains her effect to protection effect on summon.
That and Blue-eyes can only summon Alternative under Dark Law which also dies to Rafflesia so the deck is dead until they Raigeki but the deep drawing under Law will pretty much kill their deck so it doesn't matter.

>>146314798

>>146314458

I hope Raging Tempest has some new support for them.

>>146316326
Heroes typically can open like that rather easily.
A Hero Lives > Shadow Mist
Goldfish/Monk > Any level 4 > Raff

So are we getting new Gladiator Beasts or not?
Ancient Gear stuff was lackluster.

>>146317712
It's about 5000% certain that it's just the same old Gladiator Beasts that already exist.

>>146318372

>>146319035
That's the perpetual question with this series

>>146319035
Well we COULD focus on, like, Yuri or Yuzu, but those characters are SO "Season 1"

We need to give compelling new characters, like Harambe and Generic Nazi, time to shine

Are you people going to kill yourselves when it turns out Harambe is a 5 parter?

>>146319035
Because it was a GX era archetype.
That's Fusions bread and butter. Aside from Yuri, Serena, Sora, and Dennis, all of them have used either A: Literally a GX era archetype (Jobber Force 5, Battle Beast); B: New cards that are part of a GX or older archetype (Jobbelisk Force, Roger, the Twins, Edo, Asuka); or C: New Fusions whose materials include GX or older cards (Barrett, PIRATE DUEL, Jobbers of the Sun and Moon)

Well some possibilities are a Predator Plants fusion that negates the effects of monsters with Predator Counters or maybe reduces their ATK to 0, a fusion spell that lets you utilize monsters with Predator Counters as fusion materials, some sort of counter trap that removes Predator Counters to negate S/T, and an A-Cell Breeding Device for Predator Counters which maybe could also allow for SS Predator Plants from the deck, or at least adding them to your hand for use with Predator Planter

I still need to see how they'll handle explaining all the backstory related to hitotsu nii, the pendulum, and the bracelets. Even if it ends up being underwhelming but that's pretty much the norm by now.

>>146320697
Actually Yuri got more screen time than Yuto's ghost if we're counting only the fusion dimension. But yeah, it's embarassing.

>>146320697
Yuto is just part of Yuya's background reaction posse. I wouldn't call that real screentime.

Isn't it ironic that they had an entire arc about commons and how weak cards united together can together form stronger cards that can actually put up a fight. In the synchro dimension.

And then it's Ruri of the Xyz dimension that actually makes a play of 5 level 1 monsters with 100 ATK each, that together made a stronger monster.
Only serves to show that Xyz truly has a stronger camaraderie and bond than Synchro. I mean, if Crow was to summon 5 level 1 monsters of 100 ATK he wouldn't be able to do shit.

I'm watching some of the old series, and surprisingly I'm liking DM the most.
After Duelist Kingdom, once some actual game rules are in place, it's really enjoyable to follow. There's lots of actual interesting strategy involved back then, not just a matter of dominating effects and ace monster spam.

>>146324681
She sort of forced herself to though. Wouldn't she have won had she used her monsters effect?

>>146324681
People don't buy Winged Beasts unless they are DARK

>>146324753
Arc-V is the embodiment of 'meh'. Never gets quite as bad as the worst parts of the franchise, but never reaches the same previous heights, either.

>>146324606
I know the show has declined over time, but it still has a stellar first season going for it, a second season which (while moving at a snails pace at times) had a whole bunch of INCREDIBLY hype moments and massively entertaining villains, and while the third season's been the weakest of them, I've still got faith they can at least wrap up the series in a satisfying way.

>>146324763
DOROOO!
MONSTA CAAADO!

>>146324803
I have never felt hype like during late-Standard. That's when Arc V really shone. Unfortunately the massive decline there-afterwards only made it sour.

Interesting how the show became boring IMMEDIATELY after they ended Action Duels.

>>146324851
I can't relate. I didn't give a shit about any of the Synchro characters. Sometimes in Yugioh that can be made up with a lot of visual flash, but the animation was especially ugly in Synchro, so.

Jean and Sergey actually had a modicum of personality, so they were way ahead of Academia. But Jean was never really a threat and Sergey had only a few duels (and only 2 full ones) with no large stakes in the bigger picture.

>>146324577
ARC-V is also still my favorite. I think it still has the potential to give us a great ending and make us forget about Xyz.

>>146324947
Yeah, I can't get over how ugly the motorcycle CGI was during Synchro. It was worse than it was in 5ds. It's obvious that they resorted to focusing on riding duels since they were cheap to make and would mitigate some of the lost budget.

>>146324803
Compared to the other series it's overall a better show (just slightly). Parts of GX and Zexal were just painful to get through. It still has the potential to be the runaway, hands-down best Yugioh series for me if it has a great final stretch of episodes, I have trouble imagining it'll be as bad as the second half of Synchro and XYZ arc

>>146324851
Synchro was bad. It did little to move the story forward and didn't do much for most of the cast. It is the reason the show is in the sorry state it's in now. The villains were bad too. Being entertaining at times doesn't make villains compelling or effective. Hype moments don't change the fact that the cast was incredibly ineffective in Synchro.

>>146325066
Can you define what a great last stretch would even look like for you?

Because for me I can't really think of how the show will make me change my current opinion on the cast in just ~30 or so episodes. Past series I remember for their main cast since I would care about them at least somewhat, but with Arc-V it feels almost like a total waste of time to give a shit about any character not named Yuya, Shun, or Kaito.

>>146325107
All they had to do was PUT THEM IN THE SAME FUCKING ROOMS. THAT WOULD'VE FIXED EVERYTHING. Zero character interaction outside of routine duels was boring as shit.

>>146324906
Battle Royale is where the show started to show some slight cracks, imo. But the plot kind of made up for it.

This should've happened back in episode 65.

>>146325245
I miss the Indian kid. The time he shouted "OH MY GOOOD" when Yuzu attacked him was the only time I've laughed in Yugioh.

>>146325245
The Royale was fine. It actually involved all the characters simultaneously. Which kept it both engaging and interesting.

>>146325107
I'm not about to say it was flawless, but I still really liked it. Back when we were all watching blind, Jean seemed like a MASSIVE threat and seemed to have everyone playing into his hand. Only when his plans started to unravel in 94 did he start to lose it, but by that point it was satisfying to break him down.

But if we're being purely objective, yes: Synchro was flawed. MAJORLY. Academia was shoved to the side, the conflict was ultimately filler (and wasn't even resolved that believably), the pacing was a mess, the animation stooped to an all-time low, and everyone was locked in different rooms to go into ANOTHER contrived tournament with only the flimsiest of motivations to even enter. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: it feels like something happened that made them have to shift gears at the last moment going into Synchro. For some of those issues, I blame DSoD for eating up the budget.

>>146325290
OF vs proto Lancers was among the worst Battle Royales I've ever seen as a duel, despite what it did for the narrative. Yuya vs Sora was at like 1.5x speed because it had to be crammed into half an episode for whatever reason (while Yoko needs 2 to make a point?). I do agree that at the very least characters were interacting on some kind of meaningful level, because holy shit does that feel like a treasured and rare event in the show's current state.

There was also that puzzling sequence where Yuya and Gon have a bit of sleep and some breakfast, all while knowing that OF was prowling out in the city, and Yuzu's whereabouts were unknown.

And the plot definitely rolled with it. Think of how much stuff was introduced during the Royale.
Dennis? Yuri? Obelisk Force? Serena's change of heart? Yuya's EGAO mode and Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon? There was always shit going down, all the time.

It had a lot more going on then Synchro, where the goal was
>We're going to this unrelated dimension to find duelists to help us fight Academia
Where they found two whole people to come with them over like eighty episodes or something.

>>146325436
>Where they found two whole people to come with them over like eighty episodes or something.
This is just sad.

>>146325511
>those two whole people are both legacy characters
Says a lot about how much the writers themselves cared about Synchro

>>146325511
I wish we knew more about what went on the development. I have a major feeling the execs stepped in like they did with 5D's Crow and said "More legacy characters. Nostalgia sells better. Write the new guys out." And so we get cases like ARC-V Kaito... though not - surprisingly - ARC-V Crow, who's been pretty low-key.

The whole show post-Battle Royale felt like some corporate douchebag stepped in and started wrecking everything.

>>146325511
In hindsight I honestly wouldn't have minded if they had recruited somebody like Shinji too. At least then it wouldn't have been so much of a total waste of time. And hey, there'd be a chance we'd see Dr Bees get carded...

>>146325386
The problem with Jean was when it was time to put up or shut up he was a complete failure. Every single villain in Yugioh can duel. Nearly every single villain in Yugioh gets a few duels to hype them up before they are taken down. Jean lost his first duel off screen and then got embarrassed by Reiji. It wasn't satisfying. It was a huge letdown. He failed at the very basics of being a Yugioh character. Dueling.

>>146325577
It's hard to predict these days what exactly Konami's satisfied with and what they'll do, so it wouldn't be surprising if they had meddled a lot.

>>146325146
I'm hoping the final arc is of grand scale (I'm confident they'll at least do that) with Akaba Leo on the brink of implementing the Arc Area Project and that he's causing chaos in Standard or some shit. Give Leo well-designed lackies so that every remaining Lancer has a duel for themselves. I just want the Lancers especially Reiji to be relevant again, that would redeem the series for me. I don't want nostalgia characters taking up those fucking duels.

>>146325719
Give Kaito a second heroic death.

>>146325719
A have a feeling that Yuri might be the final enemy, not Leo. Anime Starve Venom is powerful enough to be a final-boss monster by itself.

>>146325769
I wouldn't be surprised if Yuri converts

>>146325746
No. His death should be as flaccid and undignified as possible. No Barian tears. No ceremony with a really sad OST playing and a crying otouto in the background. Just a carded Kaito who's forgotten to the wind.

>>146325719
>I just want the Lancers especially Reiji to be relevant again, that would redeem the series for me. I don't want nostalgia characters taking up those fucking duels.

You're going to be disappointed. The Lancers can't even beat 10+ year old Glads and have to be saved by Jack.

>>146325915
I believe in Neo New Sawatari

So what's the general consensus on Zexal? I got to episode 60 then kinda dropped it. The monster attacks hurting duelists when it's supposed to be FUCKING VR started really bothering me as it makes no sense. Is there an explanation for this? And is the series worth watching to the end?

>>146325970
>We will never see Sawatari stand a genuine threat against the final enemy, saving his friends and proving himself in the process, before finally succumbing to his own inevitable defeat and carding a humble yet justified heroes death

>>146325989
Zexal is great and how is something that small enough to make you drop a show? That's like the last thing that I've ever heard people complain about in Zexal. People hating Yuma, not liking his friends or the way he duels are common things but hating that aspect of the show? Really? The duels in Zexal aren't VR. They're AR. Everything is given physical form even the monsters.

>>146325989
Monster attacks have always hurt in Yugioh, the whole idea of 'Life Points' is that they're directly tied to your life force. While the results of losing them may vary from a loss of ego. to a loss of soul. or death, it still hurts like a bitch.

Zexal gets fantastic towards the end, at least in my opinion. It introduces the real villains behind the scenes all along, and they are brilliant. It's also cool to see the origins of Rank-Up, and to see how the art was perfected in time.

>>146326099
>>146326107
It bothered me because I thought the show was contradicting itself the whole time. Guess not lol. Not the biggest fan of Yuma but I know he grows alot as a character. Guess I'll watch it through. Thanks bois.

>>146326267
Come to think of it Yuma probably develops a lot for a Yugioh MC, probably second only to Judai. He improves himself tenfold, while still sticking to his gung-ho philosophy.

>>146326366
at least he doesn't force his KATTOBINGU onto other people like Yuya with EGAO EGAO EGAO

>>146326366
>the standards are so low here that people are praising Judai's forced character arc
Ew. I shouldn't have come back.

>>146326419
The power of egao is another of Arc V's failures. They needed to have much more of his struggle between dueling for fun and smiles, or fighting for serious and saving the world. Much more interesting than having his cake and eating it too.

>>146326496
It was forced, and whether it was necessary is questionable, but it was still development.
It's a lot more than can be said for other MC's. Yugi didn't really change at all, and Yusei naturally remained exactly the same boring self for the entire series.

>>146326563
Yes, Judai went through a lot of development... by YGO standards. Really, this franchise is so shit.
I wonder why you guys even bother with it.

>>146313279
Holy Shit Shinji is such a faggot

Last yugioh I watched was with this Duel Academy. Did the rules really change that much I watched the most recent episode I got no clue wtf is going on

>>146326685
there's just new summoning methods

>>146326685
Yeah, quite a lot. There are several new mechanics and features added since then.

>>146326524
Egao isn't really the problem. Previous protagonists have shown similar character changing abilities in the past.
The real issue is the pace. The production staff didn't allot enough episodes to Xyz, hence why it felt so fast paced and Edo's heel turn didn't feel believable.

I think the show has a real production problem behind the scenes, and it's a real shame.

>>146326811
I don't mean there's a problem with egao as in the dark mode Yuya has, I mean that as of late Yuya is literally converting whole armies just be beating them in a happy way. That's fucking bullshit. We could do with a whole lot more dark Yuya instead.

I'd agree, Arc V is still great, but compared to what the amazing things they had set up, it dropped the ball harder than any series before it.

>>146326998
>Yuya is literally converting whole armies just be beating them in a happy way
I mean, that's the problem with the show. Asuka's backstory heavily implies that the Academia soldiers who took part in the Xyz genocide are traumatized, but that's just an implication. It would've been acceptable, had the writing been more explicit about it by making the Obelisk Blue soldiers go through some sort of character arc to justify their heel turn by explaining their trauma.

But nope, not enough time. I guess that's what it comes to in the end. Time.

>>146327148
>spend 50 episodes on synchro wank
>waste time on filler shit like Pirate, Sanders and Harambe

>>146327148
Braids-chan was horrified at what she was forced to do in Xyz and in that hysteria begged Asuka to take her away from Academia and as a result, she got carded for it and Asuka branded a traitor who would of been carded. Then there's the reaction the people on the boat gave to Yuzu just because that boy called her a deserter. I just want to see the propaganda Leo showed everyone to indoctrinate so many people into believing him. Did he just say he was going to make Fusion great again and everybody hopped on the train because the place was shit anyway? That's what we should be seeing, not a bunch of no named sociopaths for the characters to run through like Doctor Meh, the sun and moon guys, Sanders and bis beast or the pirate asshole. Show me Barret, show me why Leo gives these people so many chances, show me why these people believe in Leo so strongly and show me Leo rallying the entire city and academia against the lancers as well as jusifying slaughtering entire dimensions full of people. Dammit, what the fuck was that about an era of peace the fusionists were ranting about in Heartland when all they were doing were sadistic smiles, treating people like animals and literally carding babies and laughing about it. People who fight for peace don't act that way. Was it a cooping mechanism that got popular with the students? Because based on how the adults of academia act, they seek no pleasure in turning people into cards they do it because that's what they're suppose to do. Sanders is clearly a no fun allowed douche, Barret did it because that's what "Leo-sama" orders and Serena did it because she was raised to believe that the loser is suppose to become a card.

None of this makes any sense the way Academia is set up and rather then clearing things up by fleshing them out we're wasting time on duels like the one that's airing in another several hours.

Okay, maybe it's not that pointless, but the execution is horrid.

>>146327856
By the sounds of it the finale could be really damn basic, judging by how they're making fuck all buildup to it.

are you guys sure that the fusion pendulum may debut in the sanders beast duel?

Episode 46 was named "The Rebellious Supreme King Black Dragon"

Episode 97 was named "The Sublime Super Paladin"

Episode 122 should be named the description of the cover card for Raging Tempest then,right? It airs on the 11th so we should already have it's title way before then.

But, don't Pendulum extra deck methods come during the pre boss battle of the arc? So whose the final boss of the Academia infiltration arc if it's not Sanders and his pet?

>>146328563
>are you guys sure that the fusion pendulum may debut in the sanders beast duel?
No, that was bullshit. It's not debuting anytime soon.

>>146328604
If it's not, then what is? Yuya always debuts a new extra deck boss in 2 parter duels, that's why people were harping on something for his 2 parter against Edo and they turned out to be right that he did get a new card for that, but it was a fusion so rage followed.

>>146328673
He's getting a RDA/Odd-Eyes fusion.

>>146328692
You know,that's completely possible. Daemon Eyes Pendulum Dragon.

All the Odd-Eyes upgrades have been Pendulum Dragon

>>I think the show has a real production problem behind the scenes, and it's a real shame.

It's pretty obvious. I mean, there's a blatant animation budget problem, and between the fact that the movie got made at the same time as the series and how crazy has Konami been behind the scenes lately, with reports of slavelabor-like condfiions, rumors that the whole Kojima mess might actually be a symptom of company-wide problems and heir obsession with panchiko machines, I honestly don't think Ono is to blame for arc-v's decline. he's like japan's Greg weisman, his series always get screwed up by the suits despite clearly having a lot of talent. I hope after arc-v he gets to direct the next series, with less interference.

>>146314759
That's not even one of the worse cases, it's obviously a gorilla warrior with a vehicle bottom half

It's possible. Batman vs Superman was apparently ruined when DC cut scenes and insisted that blatant references to other heroes and tie-ins were forced in, so it's not unheard of.

What happened to Selena's academia clothes? Yuzu had them at the start of Synchro and kept them while not wearing Rin's riding suit, but after Roger put her in the prison uniform she ended up in Fusion and Yusho gave her new clothes, Selena's haven't been seen again. At least we know that Yuzu's original clothes are safely back in Standard with Shuzo.

>>146332164
Selena's Academia uniform is in Yugo's ghetto apartment.

Who has the biggest Ruris?

>>146330329
>actually wanting Ono to direct

Fuck off he's a hack. Arc-V had no executive suit meddling with the show other than extending it a year and taking the animators away which aren't huge hits in the slightest. This franchise is going to die if he gets to direct the next anime. Both Arc-V and 5Ds are the most unpopular and worst received series and his name is tied to both of them. He should stay out for the good of YGO.

>>146332320
Ruri does.

>>146332597
The part of 5ds that Ono directed was the good part, though. And extending the series for a year was basically what got usb Synchro, they had to pad it out somehow and it hurt the budget, characterization, and the larger plot. Arc-V hasn't had many arcs like other ygo series, it's one continuous story that was clearly meant to be resolved in a shorter timeframe.

>>146325175
If Friendship Cup had 15 eps of the lancers slowly getting over their issues while sharing a hotel room as their numbers slowly dwindled due to the tournament, shit would've been fucking great.

I remember for the longest time all people wanted was for Yuya and Shun to talk. Resolve that misunderstanding, figure out what the deal was with Yuto. But no, they had to separate everybody just because Yuya and Yuzu had to be seperate.

>>146332679
If he was a good director he would have been able to incorporate Synchro better into the show. But instead he took the lazy way out and wanked his favorite 5ds bullshit. The success of the first 64 episodes of 5Ds was less of him and more of Tomioka's excellent writing skills and Kaz laying the foundation for Dark Signers as it was based off one of his old manga concepts. He already gave Ono the direction he needed to go in so Ono just filled in the gaps as did Yoshida.

>>146328864
Neo Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon

>>146332974
It's ridiculous how dedicated they made the whole separation.

>>146331366
>>146331556
I agree. Yuzu's reaction to Serena in pirate episode made them seem a lot closer when in reality, they've only been in the same scene three times (i think)

>>146333180
To be fair they're basically the same person from different dimensions. Crude strong girls don't need to spend much time together to click together.

>>146320697
They have to have him show up more if they want to shill his deck for Fusion Enforcers.

>>146332932
There's nothing wrong with nostalgia pandering. Go look at Vanguard G for a great example of how to incorporate legacy characters that effictively develop the new cast while being important to the plot and not filling up too much screentime.

The problem with this show as it has always been with others is the poor execution, writing and intense shilling.

>>146333180
Yeah. It doesn't help when they were both in the underground station at 93, they barely acknowledged each other even after hitotsuni resolved. The interactions are off.

>>146333307
The writing has generally never been truly bad aside moments like XYZ arc (but even that was a result of prior issues coming to a head and disallowing the arc to work as intended). The intense shilling, misuse of characters, and pacing issues resulting from the first two are what really hurt it more than anything.

They follow the rules and expand the duels more once you hit the late 30s. Before that the duels are sacrificed for building the characters.

The way Yuzu held Serena's hand looked way weird, it was like she was seeing an old friend, then Serena's brain bug kicked in and shit everything.

I liked Wixoss, i'm fine with no duels in my card game anime. But they did have actual duels, it felt like I was watching a shounen with awful fight scenes

>>146335336
If by actual duels you mean players slapping down cards and imagining themselves fighting with their Vanguards then those are not actual duels. Like I said those duels are meant to build the characters and show how each of them thinks of Vanguard. Once the tournaments start is when they actually start playing and declaring cards and effects and what not.

Will Yuzu really get brainwashed?

With how Ruri was saved and Yugo, Edo and Kaito have all talked about going after the guy controlling the parasites, I'm a bit worried Arc-V will drop the ball once again.

>>146343551
Did you hear the doctor last episode?

>Interesting! Interesting! With this new data, I can just only improve from here.

This signifies that she's most likely going to get bugged. Although, I do wish they get this done and over with, I want focus on the hitotsuni sub plot.

you know yuzu does not duel It is hinted kaito, Yugo and edo will save yuzu

>>146343833
There's nothing keeping both plots from progressing simultaniously, as long as we don't have more mooks after Sanders.

I think it'll take a while for them to really focus on Hitotsu Ni though, at this point it's looking like something that will get focus in the last 15 or so episodes, final arc stuff.

I meant dominate him as in verbally. Didn't the doctor say the parasites retains the girls memories? Yuzu knows how emotionally fragile Yuya is considering she is his emotional support. It'd be wicked to see brainwashed Yuzu taking advantage of this.

>>146355098
Ruri got like 2 turns against Shun. Same with Rin against Yugo. Their strategies obviously involved dropping that one monster. They both will probably get 1 more duel but there wasn't much thought put into their first duel. Especially Ruri's.

>>146355501
The other two didn't verbally dominate their enemies. Rin did fuck up the bike but she didn't say anything too out there. Same with Ruri. We've also learned that the girls aren't actually brainwashed. The parasite takes over their bodies so it's not like Yuzu would actually be the one saying it.

>>146355623
So in other words it's similar to possession.
