>>146849577
I have no idea. I must've missed the creation of that meme.

>>146849577
A guy google translated his name and we got "Andy Click, the Gear Reactor Dragon". He also looks like Odd-Eyes and some people think Yuya will become evil and start using Ancient Gears.

Anyone else wish they split the show up more, like with GX's arcs?

>>146849780
No

>>146849780
I'd rather have it as DMs arcs which build upon each other and tell one overarching story through smaller stories. GXs arcs were just inconsistent and all over the place with little connection to one another.

>>146849780
No. This is the reason why I didn't like GX.

>>146849096
Yuri Vs Asuka huh? Well i've been wanting that to happen since Asuka appeared so i'm happy. I just hope that Yuri kills her cause we need someone to make Academia feel threating

>haters are obviously going to hate.

Well obviously if she gets carded that brings up the question of why even put her in the show in the first place if she's not going to do anything. If she doesn't get carded it makes Yuri look incompetent while also suggesting she might get more screentime later but the room for that is already tight as it is in since we're in the final stretch. The best thing the writers can do now is address all the mysteries.

He's changed a lot. He used to be frail and cry a lot but he had lots of heart and watching him try to reconcile his dad's shitty advice with his reality was compelling. Now he's just a shell of his former self. All he cares about is EGAOing people left and right because he loves imposing his will on other people. No one has even called him out on his shit that he's basically the same as Leo and he's indoctrinating people into his shitty EGAO cult.

Even back when he had 'lots of heart', it's not like he established any solid heartfelt empathy for the commons and their struggle. Since he was locked up in a hotel worrying about why no one and Jack didn't like his entame, instead.

It's ironic how the supposedly most sensitive protag whose schtick is bridging people together has the most shallow relationships with other main cast characters.

A reminder that Yuya has 15 cards in his extra deck.
>yfw he has a bunch of blank cards he intends to use asspull whenever he needs to

>>146851376
Yeah his character's execution fell apart after Standard. He definitely developed but I wasn't very pleased with the direction they took his character. I don't like how they sidelined the idea Yusho's bad advice having a huge impact on him. They opted for a Yuma-esque development where he was hyperactive and didn't understand his situation and treated his Entame as a tool. Then he eventually learned how to embrace it properly and put his priorities in order, just to later use it to redeem people as EGAO Jesus. I'm just wondering how they'll manage to show his dynamic with Yusho now when they haven't bothered mentioning that stuff in a long time.

>>146851598
Yusho's advice was never portrayed as bad in the actual show, that's just fans' wishful thinking that they wouldn't take Yuya's character on the most mundane and straightforward path possible.

So the nips are saying the "Machine Dragon" is probably related to Ancient Gears, as in Yuri might be running them, in order to promote the Ancient Gear deck which comes out a week after this episode. We all know Konami doesn't care about the anime so it's more likely this than Asuka getting a DRAGON out of nowhere.

>>146851712
>yuri using gears
I love Ancient Gears, but please no. We need some goddamn Predator Plants that aren't terrible.

>>146851660
>Yusho's advice was never portrayed as bad in the actual show

Well yeah, I was hoping the show would address the irony in how bad suppressing your emotions actually is. But Yuya would struggle with that because it's his most precious papa's advice. I mean they kinda showed it but then it disappeared soon enough. His characterization so far feels really inconsistent with his early portrayal in Standard and it just feels like a let down they're making him an EGAO hero of sorts and constantly pushing this simple theme of EGAO into our throats. But then again, I need to remind myself this is a kid's card game commercial.

>>146851860
Egao annoys me not for being a moral message in a kids' show, but for being used as a cheap pass to resolve conflicts without the writers having to give a shit. Whatever version of 'friendship is power' or 'never give up' in previous Yugioh series pretty much never extended out of flavoring the dialogue.

>>146851712
Makes sense. Dennis ran them against Shun so Yuri might do the same

It is a moral message though. Violence and hatred is wrong and we all should smile and help one another. Having fun brings us together. It's pretty simple to understand.

I never said it wasn't, do you know how to read? It being a cheesy moral message isn't what bothers me about egao. It's how the writers USE it.

If only it wasn't done so poorly, they could have:

>Have Yuya beat X number of Academia students, but not card them.
>Those students, along with Edo, start fostering small seeds of rebellion since most kids there are just terrified, they only wanted to be great duelists and have fun, but now they're scared for their lives, and in a struggle they don't really care about
>They join Yuya not just because they enjoy his duels, they join to back to the time they weren't in constant danger, with the rebellion fraction revealing themselves just as Yuya arrives at Academia

Let's brainstorm for a bit. We've got about 25/26 episodes left (maybe a bit less) after these next two spoilers we're waiting on. Let's assume those two spoiler episodes aren't looking to be plot heavy. How do we answer the rest of the looming mysteries and make this story a bit more coherent in those remaining episodes WHILE meeting Konami's demands to shill and resolving character arcs in a satisfying way?

>>146853076
Protip: We don't.

>>146853076
They don't care about resolving character arcs in a satisfying way. They're carding the characters that aren't central to the plot so that they can focus on the mains. The legacy characters are all going to go down in succession. Asuka was absolutely pointless if she loses to Yuri but if she beats Yuri he's even more of a joke. This duel is a lose lose.

>>146853076
No point honestly. The staff have gone in a direction most of us never expected. It's useless trying to speculate what will happen when most things won't go the way we want it too. Best thing is to hope they don't drop too many plot points.

>>146853273
>duels can only have two outcomes

>>146853328
Unresolved duels are bad too. Especially between two characters who are severely lacking in screentime.

>>146853443
There can be other outcomes. But basically, no matter the outcome, the duel can still be good if it is well executed. You need to stop seeing things in black or white.

>>146853443
>Unresolved duels are bad too

Not necessarily true if the characters have a change of perspective/resolve throughout the duel which is the whole point of having the duel in the first place. Of course, to your point having two characters that haven't been built up well doesn't do well in that kind of situation.

Zexal and 5D's had very few threads.

>>146858820

She was too ordinary and paled in comparison to cool characters like Jounouchi, Atem or Kaiba.

Well she was a supporting character and she had great interactions with both Yugi/Atem and especially Jonouchi. She also put up a great fight against Malik and was the first person to summon Ra even though she wasn't qualified to control it. She had her share of cool moments.

You could say that about most of the cast. He takes an episode to look for cards in the snow, then for the rest of the show talks about how he climbed "from the depths of hell".
Unrelated, I thought Light and Darkness suited him.

Good. This shit doesn't deserve more series especially after the steep drop in quality following the 5Ds era and now ARC-V era is contending to be a worse series than ZEXAL.

Zexal appealed to a different target group and marketed itself better to that group compared to 5Ds. Most kids didn't like the kind of themes and darker, mature setting of 5Ds which is why it had such low ratings.

>Zexal having consistency

Guess you're right on that one. 5Ds had an excuse for why things fell apart after 64 because of sex cults. Zexal was consistently bad since the beginning. Although to be fair it did fall apart a lot near the end.

>>146859837

Surely you mean 1-26? Dark Signers arc had its fair lot of problems such as the animation being shit at times, the Dark Signers being a very cliché group of villains and the duel writing not even being that good at times(Majestics were an asspull). Yusei, Jack & Crow vs Goodwin was one of the most memorable duels in the franchise but so was Nash vs Yuma.

Don Thousand felt very underwhelming, but at least he wasn't a total cop-out unlike a certain Yusei cosplayer.

>>146860661
I'd say it was mildly better than the 5D's manga, which was in fact pretty shit. It's just on the somewhat lower end of mediocre.

It also doesn't have the arclights or Vector, so.

>>146860727
DM and there is a whole lot in between that beginning and end when it comes to Arc-V.

>>146860740
Wait, are we complaining about garbage villains while defending Arc-V? This show has zero good villains. None. Everyone is going to be resurrected in in Arc-V. Especially since it looks like legacy characters are dying and Edo having already mentioned they can revive characters. Arc-V has way more problems than Zexal ever had.

>>146860661
>I just finished reading 5Ds manga

I don't know what they were thinking letting Hikky do the duels AND story.

>>146860922
>Edo having already mentioned they can revive characters
From the way he worded it, it's safe to assume that it'll come at a price.

>>146860939
I didn't get that from what he said.

>>146860889
Around 62 episodes. It's not any worse than DM's several filler arcs, including Doma and KC Grand Prix(lol).
The thing is; I don't even think that Synchro is bad. In fact, I rather like it. It was slow, overly long, and didn't advance the main plot, but it was enjoyable. Which means that for me, if ARC-V's ending turns out good, the show will only have had between 12 and 30 bad episodes, effectively making it the best YGO series in my eyes.

>>146860939
>come at a price
lmao, that's what people said about Yuya getting upgrades all the time, even in duels that aren't particularly important.

Hitotsu nii/darkness taking over once in a blue moon with little to no lasting direct consequences (besides free cards) on himself those he cares about is not paying an equivalent sacrifice.

>>146852434
Yeah that was before the show even started. Sawatari was always comic relief ever since Yuto rekt him. Gon's first duel of importance was a draw then he lost to Yuya, won against a no-name, had to be carried by Yuzu then by an injured Shun.

>>146861079
I know the bar isn't set particularly high in Yugioh, but why is flat and mundane mediocrity so crucial to you, when past series managed higher highs and much more memorable character relationships despite their failings? At this rate, only Shun will be remembered for the memes.

>>146855000
Fake as fuck. My guess is the next episodes will focus on brainwashed Ruri's. Hopefully too, since getting rid of that sub plot as soon as possible, would be for the better.

>>146861079
See, you have to use filler arcs to even try and put DM down on Arc-V's level. Arc-V's canon arcs are garbage with terrible pacing and horrible resolution. Even if you like Synchro you've already said that it was objectively slow, too long and didn't advance the main plot. It was objectively a bad arc. It's fine to like bad arcs and you can feel Arc-V is the best show ever in your own eyes. But objectively it fell off long ago with no signs of learning from its own mistakes or trying to correct them.

>>146861183
>higher highs
Most of which were after they passed the 120 episodes bar.
Really, I just like ARC-V better. Be it the characters or the plot, it just appeals to me more than the other shows.

>>146860922
>Arc-V has way more problems than Zexal ever had.

Not really. They both have the same issues more or less.

-Side characters get shafted and treated badly despite having interesting personalities.
-Barian story and Academia/HitotsuNi stories have good ideas and sound good on paper but have garbage execution
-Villains are pretty bad in Arc-V because they're incompetent and mostly incompetent in Zexal too
-Both MC have badly executed character development and are hit/miss
-Duel writing can get really stiff and repetitive at times, although Arc-V still changes up and does a better job than zexal ever did.
-Zexal characters are all mentally challenged and act extremely irrational, while Arc-V characters can be just plain dumb sometimes
-Tons of shilling and moreso than the first three series

Really the only thing zexal has over Arc-V is the consistent animation, just as Arc-V has better duels over zexal. Otherwise I would rate both the same.

Does Kaito stack?

>>146861245
>See, you have to use filler arcs to even try and put DM down on Arc-V's level
That's because I'm talking about the anime. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

>>146861275
He's a shit duelist who just hides behind his boss monster. He doesn't deserve the wins he gets.

>>146861258
People remember Bakura and he jobbed all the time. Because he had a personality. Marik was also pretty awful at the actual card game, but he had presence while on-screen. Vector could never win against Shark or Yuma's powerlevels, but no one can fault him for being lazy at trying and not enjoying his job.

Arc-V's villains are so devoid of charisma and personality it's almost amazing. Dennis and Jean were close, but one carded himself and the other dueled once (like a total chump) and disappeared into a vortex.

>>146861408
Yuri.

>>146861419
Who?

>>146861258
>just as Arc-V has better duels over zexa

No

Zexal duels actually have emotional investment because the important characters are well developed and have interesting dynamics with each other. The villains are developed and their interactions with the cast beforehand aid in giving their duels excitement. Arc-V has a few emotional duels like Shun vs Sora, Yuya vs Reiji 2 and Yugo vs Rin but for the most part is random people with no connection to each other fighting just because. You can even compare something like the Duelist Kingdom finals tournament to the Friendship Cup. Each duel inside the castle had characters with emotional connections to each other while the Friendship Cup was a bunch of random named characters fighting in a pointless tournament

>>146861419
Who? I don't know why /u/ should come into this discussion

>>146861446
Emotional investment isn't everything. You should try taking duel writing into account too.

>>146861474
Arc-V duels are pretty similar to Zexal duels. They mostly rely on the characters sitting on their boss with exceptions like Yuya being able to swarm the field. Just look at the current duel. Everyone is sitting on one monster. Just go back through the last 20+ episodes from Xyz onward. Most duels are people sitting on bosses like Kaito, the twins, Edo, the Obelisk Force, Shun, Sawatari, Gon, Isao, even Yuya does it at times. The only difference between Zexal and Arc-V is Action Cards which add a whole new level of BS to Arc-V duels and take away every single ounce of skill required.

>>146860889
>DM
Duelist Kindom TV sucked.

>>146861408
>Marik was also pretty awful at the actual card game

Nope. He purposefully didn't try against Jonouchi, Mai, and Bakura. He always saw them as small fry with which to fuck with and only really tried against Atem where he lost because Malik regained control of his body. Otherwise, he was a pretty competent duelist who had a good grasp of how his cards worked.

Bakura was a great villain who always had a presence, and he's better than any villain when it comes to planning and set up. He was foreshadowed earlier than Pegasus and Malik and was the end game villain if you consider he's part Zorc, part Thief King. Yeah he wasn't good at dueling but he was always better at TRPG as he said himself and Atem only beat him because he kept lucksacking crits. There's a reason the final shadow game was a TRPG rather than an old fashioned duel, otherwise everything was orchestrated quite well. The only flaw he had was not accounting for Yugi's growth and how great of a duelist he was, but he put up a good fight against him with his Occult deck.

>>146861245
>canon
DM filler is canon to the anime. Why do people insist that ADAPTATIONS have the same continuity as the source material?

>>146861600
But it isn't always the case. Shun, Sawatari, Gon, Yuzu, Reiji, Dennis, Crow and Yuya rarely "sit" on boss monsters. The duel writing is just lazy right now because Kachidoki, Solo and BB are filler villains.
Take a look at both shows as a whole and you'll realize ARC-V has the less retarded duels.

>>146861446
>Zexal duels actually have emotional investment

What duels in Zexal had good "emotional investment" The only worthy ones most people mention are Yuma vs Nasch and Kaito vs Mizael.

>>146861692
>The only flaw he had was not accounting for Yugi's growth and how great of a duelist he was
I always liked this. It seemed like he believed his host's relationship was similar to what Yugi had.

>>146861692
If you're going to pretend to be retarded in a duel that you need to win to progress, you might as well be, in a shounen world. Jounouchi would've won if he didn't collapse.

>>146861712
Dude, people laugh at Shun always getting Vanishing Lanius and summing Rise Falcon. He's king of sitting on one monster and ranking it up. Reiji barely duels. Crow Syncs into 1 monster a lot as well. Yuzu barely duels. Gon and Sawatari have been on that one monster tip for a while. Yuya is the only character to consistently use multiple monsters but even he has moments of 1 monster syndrome. Zexal has far better duels.

>>146861742
Both Shark vs IV duels

Kaito vs Vector
3 mains vs Dr. Faker
Yuma vs Astral
III, V vs Mizael

Mirag, Durbe vs Vector
Yuma, Kaito vs III, IV
Kaito vs Tron
Yuma vs Tron

The characters in these duels have personal connections that are expressed through the duels and their interactions with each other. There aren't any random pairings and everything is built up.

>>146861707
It's treated as filler by the anime by never being brought up again. Just like filler in any long running shonen. The filler doesn't get mentioned in the canon unless the author likes the filler and adds aspects of it to the canon work like in the case of Fairy Tail.

Dude,saying that Asuka would win against Yuri is just like saying that Professor Chronos-The-Faggot from GX would win against Leo Akaba!

>>146861993
Predator Plants are shit, but sure, Yuri's plot armor will probably win him the duel.

>>146861783
Yeah, throughout the whole duel he kept looking down on Yugi and making fun of his card choices. Then he ends up getting fucked by those same "weaklings." It was great.

>>146861813
Malik wasn't really pretending to be retarded. He was established to be a sadistic asshole from the start. His plan was to just fuck with Jonouchi and make him feel the pain Mai went through because he thought Jonouchi's feelings towards saving Mai were laughable. He didn't really account for how strong Jonouchi's mind and body were. The man got assaulted by multiple electric shocks, molten lava, and lastly burned by a fucking sun god. No one would have expected him to get up after that shit. Jonouchi deserved to win after that for sure but because it was a shadow game his body couldn't handle it anymore and he collapsed.

You seem to forget a very convenient and main point of having duels in the first place, no matter who against who, that is to shill new cards. You talk as if Yuri is going to use those same cards he used in his last 'duel'. And, since shilling is great for sales, they'll probably be somewhat playable, since that's a recurring theme between the Yuus.

I'm so excited for predator plants I can barely sleep! I will use them the best way possible to my knowledge to take down the meta and I will use them forever even if they will always be shit.

Konami, bless us with the Plants!

Will he even have any slots? We know Yuya, Asuka, Yugo and Kaito are the main focus of the set. WW, Gladiator Beasts; and Gon cards are being printed too. At best I'm expecting at least 2 new cards. Also if brainwashed Yuzu happens to duel before the 8th, we could get new parasite fusions from her, highly doubt it though, since Konami probably wants to avoid selling Yuzu related cards.

>>146862487
Yeah, because the minority aren't noticed.

Sorry Asuka its time for you to leave the show. Look at it this way at least you've finally somehow got your cyber angels printed and will get some more in your final duel against yuri.

>>146862767
>They're have the least fags on this board.
>Yurifags are autitsts and ESL

>>146862658
Until we get more Predator Plants he has the shittiest deck among the Yuus.

He has the least screentime, too. I don't understand why people like him.

>>146863328
Because he makes funny faces. That's literally it.

>>146863328
Like with a lot of things when it comes to Arc-V, they like the idea/concept of Yuri

>>146863384
>>146863576
Well, at least you're honest and know what you're liking. It's okay to like little things.
Just don't exaggerate it too much.

I liked the glimpse of him we got in the manga, full darkness chuuni edge and all

Will Edo ever duel again? He was the one character I wanted show up the most but he hasn't done anything.

>>146864347

>>146863655
But I think he's the best Yuu. Even with how little he's done and how shit his deck in he's still much more interesting then the other 3.

>>146864394
I think it's just a fan colouring

I still find it funny how Serena captured Yuzu. Academia sure are incompetent as fuck. I won't be surprised if he gets redeemed.

Now it's

Yuto or Yuri, they both get so little screentime it's hard to decide.
I like how Yuri actually behaved like the condescending prick everyone built him up to be in their headcanons when he dueled the five stooges.
