It's still incredibly popular even after being out of theaters for a few months. Sold out shows pretty much everywhere this weekend. Alternative also being a promo is bringing a lot of men in too. I wonder if they will expand the number of theaters to hit the 1 billion yen mark.

The arc cradle was in reiji office ceiling in the standard arc.

>>147669787
Well,back then some of them still had delusional hopes of Asuka winning.

>>147669656
Most likely. It's in the top 5 profitable TV Tokyo anime properties this past year. Although the point of contention is how much of that money came from Arc-V and how much came from DSOD which could influence what the next series will be like.

>>147669628
I'm not against age gaps but there comes a time when a guy is just too old.

>>147670108
It gave the wrong kind of nostalgia wanking.
Jack should have done more than sit in his chair and Crow should have never been given all that screentime which should have gone to other characrers.
Edo and Asuka were bad picks from Ryo, Manjome, Johan, Austin, Jim and even Chronos could be better.
Kaito should have had another cameo with him so he would have to share screentime with instead of getting it all to himself and taking out so many characters.

>>147669623
No that's just obsessive rivalry.

>>147670233
Are Yuto and Shun the only characters they like?

>>147670325
What the fuck

>>147670412
They're the only characters they use for their memes so yes

>>147668511
1) Yuzu shouts Yuya's name in her cell.
2) Undergoing brainwashing.
3) Interrupts the duel.

These are the possible reasons on to why she's voiced. 1 and 2 seem likely.

The only memorable things about GX Asuka were her giant tits and her short temper.

>>147670599
Bracelet-kun teleports to the location of the duel using Ruri and Serena's bracelets

>>147670617
So there's nothing memorable about Yuzu either

>>147670366
Asuka and Edo were fine choices, just handled less than admirably. There's no proof that other choices would have been handled better or worse.

Looks like BB killed more than just a ninja and a Crow

For real,tho, who the hell thought BB deserved 5 episodes? 5 episodes of him bodying everyone, playing broken as shit cards, and he's beaten by Splatoon? They don't even give us the dignity of having Yuya finish it with a new synchro or fusion or xyz? Just a shitty spell card that will never see print?

>>147671469
>92 destroyed it's credibility
Well, it started to damaged a lot but there was still potential to make up for that at that time until the rushness that was the XYZ arc, poor decisions in this Fusion and the unneeded "filler" arc of BB.

>>147671812
>New synchro

What?

>>147672024
Both of Yuya's partners in that duel were synchro users, it would of been fitting for him to synchro summon as well but he didn't, I don't think he even did anything in that duel other than shill shitty performapals and dodge attacks and burn effects with action cards.

>>147671812
Jack(serves as 1/2 of Gon's walking stick) and Crow(Idiot of that breaking a persons Duel disk is saving them rather than come up with a plan) were incredibly meaningless.

>>147672252

>>147669343
The main problem with Yuri's character was that it had a ton of potential and have so many opportunities but the writers literally took the lazy way and constantly made him a running gag that has him shown whenever it involves Yuzu until now. The whole VA excuse would not work because he's literally the same one as Yuya's.

I miss pre synchro Yuzu so much. Did the writers just leave around that time, because holy shit did Yuzu take a downgrade. The most we got from her is her duel with enjoy driving Yuya to tears and Yuya's letter driving her to tears.

>>147672532
Yuya's duels and conflict were awful whereas everything going on with Yuzu was interesting like Yuto

>>147672532
That was Yuya back then and in 92 Yuzu did ironically in the first 5 minutes.

>>147672544
From what I heard one of the main writer's left or was replaced earlier.

>>147672532
Yuya did it first though

>>147672578
She went to shit after her rematch with Masumi, with a few good moments here and there.

>Yuya vs Sawatari 2 ends with Yuya actually respecting the guy

>They barely interact, they never duel each other again, Swatari's a clown to amuse us and now because for some ungodly reason, the writers broke his disk so he can't shill yet left him uncarded so he can be more useless with his "comedy".


I'm still mad that Mieru didn't get to be a main cast member, she was obviously popular enough to appear in the second opening and stay longer, was it her VA expense or did somebody tell the writers that rituals aren't to be shilled?

>>147672668
All she had to do was take off her bracelet, see isn't hard is it? I wouldn't be surprised if Hitotsuni gets cockblocked.

>>147672747
And all Yuya had to do was not appear when Yuto was explaining shit

>>147672724
>I'm still mad that Mieru didn't get to be a main cast member, she was obviously popular enough to appear in the second opening and stay longer, was it her VA expense or did somebody tell the writers that rituals aren't to be shilled?

Based on how shitty the Lancers are, I don't blame her for not wanting to be part of it. Her, Masumi and Yaiba actually were pretty lucky they weren't ruined anymore compared to the them.

He conveniently appeared every time Yuto appeared. Yuya was the one who stalled the plot in the beginning

Can we skip this week already? I can't contain my hype for 125 and 126, even if it does somehow turn out disappointing.

>>147672932
You're acting as if he knew Yuto was there, while Yuzu could've just taken off her bracelet after it triggering so many times.

>>147672947
Come on,anon, at least join up with the phantom knight bros who are hoping Yuto shills a rank four or uses Requiem.

What is Yuya's deck supposed to be
Performapals, Odd-eyes or Magicians?

>>147673213
Isn't that just fine? Loads of decks across the game's history have only been good by combining them with other engines.

>>147673569
A mix of the three.

>>147673569
odd-eyes performagicians

>>147673136
Back in Standard, they knew when was the right time to use Bracelet power and know not to use it. Examples like 21, 24, 36-37 and 47 were good examples. Afterwards it undeniably became a fucking running gag with the poor execution of 92 and the constant damage of both Yuri and Yuzu's character. We also barely knew what the other girls bracelets do besides blinking(if they even have any).

>>147673569
Perfomapals. Shame of the lack support for Magicians recently, they mesh with Odd Eyes ALOT better.

>>147673569
Odd-Eyes Performapals Magician.

>>147673569

>>147673648
>they mesh with Odd Eyes ALOT better.
Pendulum Magicians were meant to be splashable but it got out of hand so Insight and Pendulum Call got hit.
Perfomapals are literally meant to combine with Odd-eyes with how they can modify attack so REACTION FORCE hits a lot harder and they even have a field spell to summon the guy once you get 4 Pals out.

Can't wait fir Yuri to card Yugo! Also anime and manga are different universes unless proven otherwise.

>>147673809
>Can't wait fir Yuri to card Yugo!
Not happening.

>>147673307
Yuto, why even bother playing a card game when you can just punch everyone in the gut and get better results?

>>147673751
I think we already have a Odd eyes perfomapal.

>>147673880
It's to easy for him but seriously Yuto is like superman with how easily he subdued Shun

>>147673648
In terms of bringing it out, definitely. Although, if we're talking about buffs and stats increasing, Perfomapals works way better.

>>147673806
Reaction Force is Odd Eyes pendulum effect. it doesn't have a name for it's double battle damage effect either.

I'd pay to see that spin-off series.

I honestly wish Yuto got to take Sora on in a full duel, it seemed like the narrative implied that Yuto was much much stronger than Shun, the only thing that held him back was how he didn't really want to hurt people and it showed with how he could of easily OTK'd Sora, even when Sora was being a dick and baiting him about Ruri, Yuto still held back on him.

Kek he's going to do it again, can Yuto do anything right?

>>147677725
Technically it's not him, more like a demon.

I kinda understand the 2ch rage towards Asuka's carding

She was a pointless character. No point in her being in the show at all she got two duels and died.

A true Jobber to the end. Also her support is stupid overpriced and is honestly better in other Ritual decks anyway, contributing further to the "GX Engine" meme.

Because I wake up at 4am to get ready for work anyway, I'll do this now.

Phantom Knights,Phantom Knights, Phantom Knights! I want some Phantom Knights! a rank 6 to be exact, Dark Rebellion and Requiem are fine for ranks 4 and 5, we need a rank 6.

>>147681261
Please explain to me how the hell you're going to make a Rank 6 in a deck that has only Lv 3/Lv 4 monsters.

And no, Launch doesn't count, even if it IS searchable.

>>147681386
next episode Yuto will obviously debut a rank up magic that lets him summon a monster with double the rank of the original one

In seriousness a new PK that did this would also work. It'd still be pretty fucking silly, though. I'd be happy with a new rank 4.

I know my hopes will just be stepped on when all he does is use Fragile and Cloven to make Rebellion though.

>>147681261

How about we get some more main deck monsters and R3/4s before we start demanding stuff like that?

>>147679852
Most of the posts are saying that Arc-V doesn't really deserve these ratings. Which is both right and wrong.
Quality-wise, it's not *that* bad even though it could be much better. But the writers have been cockblocking the plot for too long and the Japs' frustration is understable.

I came here because Nico Nico says this is the worst show of all time

Can someone tell me what's so bad about it?

>>147668511
I think Yuzu vs Berserk Yuya may actually happen.

>>147683349
>I came here
>Poster didn't go up
Fuck off.

>>147683349
They killed off the best character really early and it all went downhill from there. Also the main protaginist is the worst one so far

>>147682565
Arc-V's days are fairly numbered. We don't know the specific number, but we know that come next Spring we'll be on a new MC with a new mechanic and a new series unless the Arc-VI memes come true, which I doubt.

We shouldn't be wasting 5 episodes of a show with less than 40 episodes left on something that is going to have almost no bearing on the long term plot. That is over 10% of the remainder of the show's run dedicated to something that has almost nothing to do with the last 90%.
>but we had to trim down the Lancers!
We could've done that with one-episode duels that allowed them to showcase those specific duelists. As much as I want him to get a real duel, Shingo could've also been given the boot in some offscreen accident. Even doing nothing but focusing hard on those duels, we still could've had an extra 2 episodes to work with (assuming that Gon still got his Benkei moment with Yuya).

"Hiiragi Girl I've made a horrible mistake. Apparently Yuri is... evil. Shocking, I know. In any event the brain parasites can wait, we need to deal with the DRAGONS. If you're a good girl I'll let you have TWO brain parasites later."

>>147683475
Why would Arc-VI be a thing when this is getting worse reception than even 5Ds? Its reception is so bad that even casual Japanese anime fans who would never watch something like Arc-V are noticing. It's so bad that it occupies 7/10 spots on worst rated episodes of all time. Unless they make a DSOD 2 alongside it they'll just kill the franchise with more Arc-V.

>>147683349
Show showed great promise in the first arc only for the director to go on a self masturbatory streak of his previous work for the second one while almost every character but the MC are shafted. Then when the plot finally appears he cockblocks the viewers and goes on to an even worse arc where all characters but the MC are shafted, the MC is turned into a brainwashing Jesus and with less than 40 episodes to the end, new and insignificant characters are introduced and the main plot has only just begun appearing.

>>147683661
This happens every time something gets extended beyond its usual scope, though.

>>147683803
Zexal didn't seem to get a bad reception throughout its whole run.

>>147683404
>Implying they'll need to duel
Yuzu's soothing gentle voice, will be enough to calm down Yuya.

>>147683803
Then why was Xyz a rushed shitfest when Synchro was an necessarily long drag? Fusion so far isnt great either.

>>147683990
ZeXal didn't start as a 2-year project then suddenly get an extra year 6 months in.

>>147684109
Probably because Konami was willing to give an extra year but not willing to pay their writers to actually try.

Spending money for the sake of a better product has never been Konami's strong suit.

Well I'm not really sure since it was so long ago but Zexal was never on nico nico so other than TV ratings we can't really tell exactly how reception was. However, the TV ratings stayed very consistent compared to 5Ds that initially grabbed those from GX but lost them soon after. They were also higher than 5Ds too.

They could have tied his development softening up to the Lancers to him reflecting on how he treated Ruri. Instead of shoving all that in there in the middle of their 1-episode duel.

>>147685435
Nah, they've been much more patient than us. We trashed the Synchro dimension quite early on but the nips were patient and giving it good ratings in the hope of everything paying off in 92 but when it didn't that was a big blow to them. Even after that the show had ok ratings probably because the nips were excited about the new legacy characters but after the shit XYZ arc and Fusion arc wasting time with BB they just couldn't take it anymore. They have every right to be angry. No other YGO show has squandered its potential as much as Arc-V.

How low did 5D's get?
I get the feeling that fans are unusually invested in Arc-V and the recent ratings are in part a product of their anger over past-episode myopia along with their desire for revenge bleeding into rating manipulations.

I liked most of 5D's & Arc-V, so I was finally considering getting into Symphogear but coupled with it getting 2 more seasons now I'm not sure anymore.

>City wide riot due to class warfare and abuse at the hands of the tops despite the commons being just as bad and wanting no change in their society other than them being the abusers.

>Yuya and Jack's duel, mainly Yuya's moves somehow captivate the entire city that they all ride alongside Yuya and voice his final attack on Jack together,

>Somehow this makes the entire class warfare vanish, the tops and commons get along, the people behind such a society get arrested or step down in a last ditch effort to save themselves and the city completely changes it's entire society.

>Heartland, a place where even babies and the elderly are carded by joyous sadistic academia agents, which we see within the very first episodes we get there.

>Yuya once again faces off with several high ranking academia agents and wins somehow this makes them all abandon the mission they took great joy in,the constant black clouds change to a bright sunny day, academia agents are rebuilding homes, helping out at soup kitchens and gushing about how awesome Yuya is.

>The survivors of this onslaught from Academia hold no grudges despite the horror they heaped on them day after day, forcing them to hide like rats and fearing for their lives so much that some of them developed PTSD.

>Fusion arc, finally at academia's stronghold

>Several lancers get carded and defeated off screen without full duels.

>Yuya once again amazes academia agents who see him with his dueling so much they start turning against academia without a pause or second guessing themselves.

>The mysterious Yusho who hasn't shown up in person for over half the series is revealed to be a clusmy foolish old man who made the mistake of just immediately jumping into a portal without knowing where it really goes, without telling anybody he was going to do this shit and is injured so much he needs to be lean on somebody to move around.

No shit, sherlock. Anons have already observed that several times over you slowpoke.

Also, There were no nico ratings for Yugioh shows until Arc-V. The only concrete numbers I remember is that 5D's would hit around the mid 1.0s in terms of tv ratings, which was considered low-ish.

They could become more lenient (like highest approval climbing to at least 30%), but Arc-V's record-setting status as the most hated anime on niconico is already marked on its legacy. Meme fuel for the nips for years to come

Are you kidding? The nips (especially the fujos) eat that shit up in their Yugioh. Anons here get butthurt about it (even to an autistic level), but the jap audience can be surprisingly forgiving if that kind of melodrama is involved. Says a lot if Arc-V manages to offend them so badly.

>>147686571
I would think that the episode: The day the devil was born, is the make or break of this current slump, I would say that other characters getting some time in the sunlight to actually duel that isn't Yuya would help as well but it's probably far too late now to start focusing on them.

How many times do we have to go through this. The movie only had 127 theaters it was playing in across Japan. Compare that to the 300+ theaters that Zootopia and Conan had and it's no wonder they would do better. Disney is huge with the mainstream audience over there. Conan is also very mainstream always ranking in the top 10 TV ratings. Their popularity isn't comparable to DSOD. It would be better to match DSOD performance to that of a late night anime movie like Kizumonogatari or Psycho-Pass since those have the same amount of theaters. The movie itself has made over 800 million yen which is solid and it was successful enough to get more 4DX screenings. It also destroyed BBT sales which were only 240 million yen.

Immediately thought of this.

>>147692376
Anon's right, though. Why would a poorly received flop get 4dx screenings? There's also the product that it moved through shelves, which is another place where Konami was scooping up profits.

>>147692612
>Those Yaoi bags in the Yugioh Movie
Man the audience is really gay

Does anyone have a link to the five minute Kaiba vs Yugi camrip? I forgot to save it like the fucking retard I am

>>147691934

What a fat cock.

I hope we get less of Yuya this episode we don't need to have him intruding on a reunion whispering egao

>>147692787
lol is true

>>147692997
I don't think you have to worry about that. He won't be whispering.

>>147692997
Too bad. The protagonist isn't going anywhere.

>>147693060
Fucking why do the writers torture us so much

>>147693146
a basic thing all writers know is that one should use other characters instead of making the protagonist do everything

>>147692787
Most of the audience is full of adult females who ship Kaiba and Atem. Followed by adult men who wanted to see their BMG waifu and the new and improved Anzu. Kids didn't really like the movie that much.

>>147693146
t. Ono

>>147693160
Don't worry to much about it. Surprisingly it's not him who says it. Well according to the preview.

Thie episode will have Yuto x Ruri i can feel it

>>147668436
SORA.

DAMN YOU WRITERS. DAMN YOU. WHY YOU CAN'T WRITE HIM RIGHT.

>>147693209
Yuya is the only protagonist so far to not appear in entire episodes of his show. Three recent episodes were entirely dedicated to side characters.
I don't think you can really complain about the protagonist doing everything in Arc-V's case.

SHUN'S FUCKING DEAD

Over Shun's dead body.

>>147693309
The flashback alone is enough for shipping fuel. Now all need is some Yuya/Yuzu ones and Yuri/Serena

>>147693339
Have you not watched the BB mini arc? Everyone jobbed and was killed while Yuya acted like Egao Jesus

>>147693371
Yuto could just knock him out though

>>147693436
I never saw 122, did Kingu job?

>>147693436
Yes? Does Yuya having an arc dedicated to himself disprove any of the facts I pointed out in my earlier post?

>>147693339
>I don't think you can really complain about the protagonist doing everything in Arc-V's case.
Synchro, Xyz, and Fusion thats over three quarters of the show

>>147693497
Yes
>>147693520
He's appeared in most episodes

>>147693339
That's 3 episodes out of 123
I'm getting tired of Egao Jesus

That might send him over the edge.

>>147693620
He'll live

>>147693525
How about you go more into detail? All you did was name three story arcs.
>>147693588
Like most protagonists in most TV shows. Your complaint is idiotic.

>>147693588
That's the point.

Yuto should have been the main villain. Necromancer Yuto would have been way better than Akaba "WE DID IT FOR THE GREATER GOOD" Leo and it would always advance the hitotsu nii plot. Also nobody likes ancient gears

What is the point of Sora's plot armor if the writers won't do shit with him. I still love him to bits because he is my favorite character but I really hate what they are doing.

I hope whoever is writing gets fired and/or never writes for Yu-Gi-Oh! again.

>>147693601
>I'm getting tired of Egao Jesus
That's an understable complaint, but Yuya definitely doesn't do everything in Arc-V.

>>147693748
I honestly don't know. They might as well card him by Yuri, not out of spite for his character but because he literally has no purpose in the plot.

>>147693497
No. He and Yuya won.

>>147693675
You made it sound as if he was gone for a bunch of episodes in a row at times but I can't of even one episode where he didn't appear

So are we going to have to wait until this time next year for DSOD BD? Why the fuck does this shit take so long to get to BD?

>>147693309
Maybe this is what will push Shun over the edge and makes him card himself

>>147693736
Phantoms are a nice theme but I swear Leo better not use ancient gears. Damn it we really are going to get get an ancient gear deck meant only for the professor to use aren't we

>>147693825
The worst part is that they did have a plot.

Sora should have reacted to Tsukikage's death, given that this was the dude who had every reason in the world to hate him yet he forgave by then, not immediately, but he still did.

>>147693748
The same reason for Sawatari's and Gon's, I'd guess.

>>147693497
In all honesty, he literally had no real purpose of being there and now exist as 1/2 of Gon's walking stick.

>>147693930
That's EVEN worst because they never had a character in the first place. Sora had one but it was pushed to offscreen.

>>147693843
He didn't appear at all in
>106
>116
>117
And he played a minor role in
>119
>123
Once again, your complaints are misplaced.

Did Ono make Egao Jesus as retaliation for calling Yusei Jesus?

>>147693916
I hope he uses AAAs, just like the theories have hinted.

>>147694024
He literally made over half the show a 5Ds fanfic
What do you think
