I don't know why any kind of battle royale or tag duel in this show is so shit. And this is the series that stresses large scale conflicts. I struggle to think of even one full battle royale/tag duel that can be called good. Either as part of the story or as a duel by itself.

In GX there is a giant battle royal in season 3 that they have to go through to get to Marcel(Yubel). Hassleberry finishes it by using a card that everyone loses, so it's called a draw.

In ZeXaL, Girag sends a bunch of brainwashed students to get and finish off Yuma, Shark and Rio, but Alit arrives and uses a bunch of counter traps to finish them all off.

... dammit, I really wanted Alit to duel more. Both because he was awesome and because Battlin Boxers were my main deck too in that time.

Being too kind at this point. Asuka basically duelblocked Yuzu in her debut(103) and literally 20 episodes later(123) she ends up carded. Even depressing when she wanted to duel Dennis, she's rejected for a dumb/hypocritical reason over Kaito because "MUH CIPHERS".

Edo ended up being nothing but exposition and a whiny Draco Malfoy compared to his GX version.

>>149665486
>duelblocked Yuzu in 103
I don't see the problem here. No one wants to see her duel against security, since that would've been boredom: the episode. Besides that episode recieved positive reception. It's not after they treated her like shit.

Better than Kaito stealing screen time left and right.

>>149665634
Apologize, it's more like starting of Yuzu getting duelblocked. Having her simply watch Asuka instead of having her team pretty much hinted of what was going to happen especially after rushing things in.

In my opinion, any duel with Yuzu is always a treat regardless if she wins or lose, her getting shafted due to laziness and because the plot said so was one of the things that will forever piss me off.

>>149664911
Finally, a Kaito duel with the ratings it deserves. Kaito's still alive, 5.

But in all seriousness, it's been depressing since 123. Also, 77.7% is a new record for 5 rating.

>>149661080
It's fucking baffling. Like what is the point of them anymore, it looks like they aren't even bothering to include Gong and Sawatari into this final stretch of plot which is bullshit. This show had some lows but it hit rock bottom when the legacy characters began eating up important roles and duels as if other members of the Lancers don't exist. I hope they somehow manage to include them into the plot in the next few episodes.

>>149661080
That was before we find out they make a shitty team and an even terrible leader. They literally don't do anything as a demand unless the plot demands them to. Hell even Yuzu's line for Serena saying that she helped the Lancers in the City was so forced and out of placed because we know the latter did absolutely nothing but more harm than good. Overall, it all ends up as a three-way tie between Reiji, Shun and Serena who in the end are the main reason they are so damn terrible. There was multiple opportunities for the Lancers before Nostalgia fucked p everything.

>>149665651
Anything in ARC-V is better than Kaito stealing screentime and character arcs, even Eita and BB. Every single duel that Kaito's in has been a god damn bore and goes against entame. Why the fuck was he Yusho's student again?

>>149665929
>when the legacy characters began eating up important roles and duels as if other members of the Lancers don't exist
Most of, if not, all of Shun's entire point for being in this mess was to rescue Ruri from Academia. Waiting over 100 episodes since his debut for that moment, only to have Kaito take it away from him because "a rock slide knocked him out for several episodes" is something I'll never forgive. Not even Shun coming back the very next episode and dueling Ruri 2 episodes after that was enough since at that point it's just damage control like 130's been with trying to get Kaito and Edo out of the picture, that is if they finally and rightfully get carded/killed in the next episode or 2. I find it baffling that there hasn't been more outrage over it since Shun is ARC-V's most popular character, "Kaito being more popular than him overall" or not.

Would've been more fulfilling had Kaito rescued Sayaka from the rock slide and was out of commission until the Lancers arrived in Academia, but even more so had these legacy faggots not even exist.

It's obvious that the Japanese Nicofags are perpetually butthurt now and they will constantly give low ratings to future episodes no matter if they're good or not.

>>149669480
It was. The difference is that it was this bad at the start rather than at the end (Well, excluding the awful don thousand and number 96 garbage that occasionally popped in).

>>149669634
No, it's what happens when you add alternate universe versions of characters from past series into your show right in the middle of the series.

>>149669480
Overshilling on nostalgia when it's not needed.

>>149669587
They haven't. There was a ratings dip at 92, but people didn't really start hating the show until Edo got shafted, and then the double feature of 4 eps of BB followed by Japan's GX waifu (who previously caused Arc-V to start trending on twitter at 103 in japan) getting fucked by super poly just made them rally against it more than it honestly deserves.

>>149669786
That's what I think. The worst episode since the end of the BB arc was 128, since it was just a bad duel, with bad choreography, with even worse dialogue and animation.

I think the Nips are just mad that Asuka got carded.

>>149669109
Damn and we have like 15 episodes left. There's a real chance that almost all 20 spots will be full.

>>149669871

Let's not make excuses for Ono and Kamishiro. It's clear there was executive meddling, but there is no excuse for how poorly the entire cast has been utilized even prior to Xyz.

>>149670054
It is Ono's fault. He doesn't have enough skill to make executive demands work. I and many others can think of a billion ways to make Synchro more relevant than the crap they gave us.

Post Ruri pls.

>People blaming nostalgia for the low ratings and not the horrible quality of the show

Stop. Most of the nostalgia characters barely did anything aside from Kaito. The show is just really bad and can't handle any characters. There hasn't been a good duel in over 20 episodes.

>>149670359
I thought Yuya VS Serena and Ruri was pretty good

>>149670258
>dat quality you can already appreciate in a shitass camrip
holy fuck this will be glorious!

>>149670258
So they aren't dubbing it?

>>149670359
Well, the nostalgia IS the cause of the sustained bottom of the barrel ratings. Things took a notable turn towards perpetual shit when Edo and Asuka started getting fucked.

It's been bad, but it hasn't been worthy of top 10 worst on nico ever. That's just blowing things ridiculously out of proportion.

>>149670359
The problem when it comes to nostalgia is that it's not just the Legacy characters but how much things are being crammed in too much over the original casts.

The Synchro arc alone was basically 5D'S 2.0.

>>149670412
It was. Yuri vs Asuka was also fun.

>>149670412
It was basically a pointless duel with no really weight nor anything new expect a lazy way to debut the next cover card.

>>149670359
>Most of the nostalgia characters barely did anything aside from Kaito
Crow did something. Crow did a lot. Jack did a lot when he got his time for spotlight, but he also suffered from the pacing of the Synchro arc.

The only nostalgia character who really did nothing was Asuka. She saved Yuzu who ended up getting captured anyway.

So, head director is a guy who ruined 2 other shows and the head writer is a guy who doesn't like duels and the manga writer is a guy who doesn't like girls or plots that don't have tons of homoerotic subtext and something about humanity's darkness.

>>149670453
They are dubbing it. It's just being shown in asian countries for now. US gets it Jan 20, UK gets is Feb 1.

>>149670501
>no really weight nor anything new expect
Part of this is true, but part of it isn't. Yuto and Yuya exchanged bodies this time rather than Yuto just taking control of Yuya's body, which we didn't know could happen. We also got our first true glimpse of Zarc and Leo sperging out because of it. The duel was pretty much foreshadowing for things to come.

>>149670525
>She saved Yuzu who ended up getting captured anyway.
Correction, she derived Yuzu of doing something to make her look good. In the end damaging more of Yuzu's character and further showing they stopped caring just like the rest of the original cast.

>>149670531
Well, the ruination of 5Ds wasn't totally Ono's fault. He was away working on the movie during a large portion of the filler shit; also, the Sex Cult scandal shit forced a lot of plot detail shit to be dropped as well.

But the rest is accurate, yeah.

Also, Ono is notorious for losing interest in long running shows mid-way through. So, you can imagine how well that works with YGO.

>>149670645
So, not only did she do nothing, but she also ruined a main character even more by doing nothing?

Giving me extreme GX vibes. Why were the nips mad again?

>>149670628
>Yuto and Yuya exchanged bodies this time rather than Yuto just taking control of Yuya's body, which we didn't know could happen.
They had this opportunity of working with it back in XYZ yet do only when Ruri is brainwashing further proved how lazy it was and basically confirm Ruri nothing more but Shun's sister and Yuto's eye candy.

The girls had zero resistance yet Ruri was the only one who was given the certain treatment for the sake of giving Shun a mercy win. They ended up being a poor excuse of adding more villains.

>>149670689
Because they're nostalgiafags who love GX for some reason.

C/C/C vs D/D/D is tonight right?

Just like with the Yugo duel at the very beginning of Synchro that shit should of been a fucking tag match. The Yuzu from Standard wouldn't let somebody fight alone especially if they were being ganged up on like with Asuka.

Yuzu's been ruined ever since she was teleported to Synchro and starts crying about how Yuya isn't there just like for all of Serena's bluster she never won a single duel against anybody besides scrubs off screen. I blame people thinking females could be important in a boy's sport show for the overratedness they put on the girls of Arc-V

>>149670412
It was garbage. Terrible parasite monsters, Yuto being the only person smart enough to go for Action Cards, tons of standing around, Zarc making an appearance that didn't matter, Ruri and Serena getting up and running away after getting hit with a blow that blew out a wall just so they could be captured. It was terrible writing all around and if you thought it was pretty good then no wonder you find the low ratings abnormal. You have very low standards.

>>149670458
No, things took a turn towards shit during Synchro. Edo and Asuka being treated like garbage was just another thing to get angry at. BB and Zarc being shit were the straws that broke the camel's back.

>>149670938
Ratings were pretty high until 92, where they notably dipped for obvious reasons. Edo/Asuka/BB is where ratings actually stuck in shitville though.

>Symphogear GX
>then this
Is Ono a hack?

>>149671023
What if Symphogear GX had 150 episodes

>>149671023
Not exactly. No one who is capable of keeping quality generally up for 50 eps twice (or making something as stunning as ARC-V 33-34) is truly a "hack."

He's just a lazy fuck who refuses to do his job properly.

>>149671002
No it was Xyz as a whole. The Edo debut got good ratings. The episodes after that dipped. Episodes that didn't even involve nostalgia characters. Just shitty duels and little plot progression.

Duel Monsters OST is way better than I remembered lads

way better

it's insane

>>149671023
I think he's a lazy genius. His direction of 5D's during the Fortune Cup, Dark Signers and Ark Cradle arcs was simply marvelous. He should stop directing anime and switch to movies.

>>149671023
Yes. He said himself he has no talent when it comes to doing long running shows which is why he always runs out of steam so quickly.

The problem with Yuri VS Asuka is that Yuri used Judai's special card (Super Polymerization) to fusion summon Chronos's trump card (Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem), and uses it to finish off the heroine of GX, Asuka.
This is basically a huge insult to GX fans, or at least Asuka fans.

It doesn't help that Yuri suddenly switched his deck from Predator Plants to Ancient Gears, even though people wanted to see Yuri use new supports for Predator Plants.

>>149671252
DMs OST has always been really good. They just never utilized it properly in the anime which gave off the feeling it was really underwhelming by using wrong tracks in the wrong moments and overusing certain tracks. But because that was the first series they get a pass since they didn't really know what they were doing.

>>149671706
Who the fuck cares if he used Super Polymerization?

>>149671706
It had a lot of problems. Including the now trend that GX characters debut new monsters in Arc-V that are already outdated and they still get blown out. Asuka is the only legacy character without 2 boss monsters. She played a shitty defensive style against Yuri for whatever reason and then tried to reason with him. She didn't reason with the 3 guys after Yuzu so it didn't even match up with her earlier character. Edo debuted a shitty new monster that accomplished nothing and has such terrible effects that I can't even believe they made it in 2016. Jack, Crow and Kaito all debuted amazing boss monsters. Jack's is a staple in most synchro decks, Kaito's is really good and leads to OTK, Crow debuted a shitload of Blackwing staples. Asuka debuted a boss monster that isn't worth the cost and another new Ritual monster that has a shitty level.

Edo debuted pure garbage and relies on shitty cards that raise or lower attack by like 100 to get his crappy boss effect off. They couldn't even give Edo decent spell for his shitty boss.

>>149671930
I somewhat agree, I mean when watching it a lot of tracks went over my head but there were still a lot of great moments with the OST in the anime

>>149671937
Obviously the Japanese fanbase because they complain about it.

>>149671998
D-Fusion and D-Pressure are both good cards, but they're good cards that support garbage cards and can't carry themselves in other decks.

>>149671706
That's not a problem. You'd have be an obsessive fuck to think it is.

>>149671706
>>149671998
When you think about it, you could say that Yuri has done better in representing GX than the characters that came from GX. Same could be said for ZEXAL. Yuto and Shun made me want to watch it whereas Kaito made want to avoid it.

>>149672142
Because left isn't a little bitch

>>149672142
Because he looks and acts like the perfect self-insert? Either way, Yuya does have his fair share of fans on /a/rc-v and other YGO communities, even if he's a lot less popular than Yusei.

>>149672142
Who loves Yusei? Everyone always says hes a boring fuck. Yusei is only "liked" because he's the least offensive of the 5 main characters. Judai's annoying demeanor despite shit being real, Yuma's annoying ass catchphrase and mindset, Yuya's arrogance and whines.

Every other protag has something that makes them hated except for Yugi but Yusei is fucking boring to watch and listen to after the Dark Signer arc and for some, even during that arc.

>>149672142
because normies in the west stopped watching YGO after 5D's, so only the purists are left

>>149672142
Because the part everyone loves about 5Ds is a self-contained story arc (Dark Signers), where the characters were done well, Yusei wasn't Jesus, and the duels were pretty good, too.

The reason people hate the same shit happening in Arc-V is because by the time the MC turns to trash, they're invested in the plot and characters already, and the options are "drop the show and never know the outcome" and "keep watching a show they know is shit so they can get closure".

>muh Sunken Cost Fallacy
Most people can't think on that level of logic over emotional response. Even if they know in their head that Arc-V is shit and they should drop the show, it's still incredibly frustrating to know that such wasted potential exists, and the fact that the show periodically throws a bone at the audience makes it even more painful.

>>149672142
What's there not to love about a mechanical genius who fought his way out of rags to riches even after he got everything good he once had taken from him?
Yuya whines over everything and turns evil because he's the reincarnation of discount Zorc.

>>149672114
Both are terrible
D-Pressure is shit in a world where Goblindberg and Tin Goldfish exist. Drill Guy does the same thing and doesn't cost you an extra card.

D-Fusion is arguably the worst fusion card ever. It requires monsters on the field, it's a slow trap and can only summon shit. This is a world post Super Poly, Shaddoll Fusion, Metalfoes Fusion and even cards like Mask Change, Miracle Contact and Miracle Fusion. The card is trash and not even casual D-Hero decks should run it.

>>149672142
Yusei is an adult. People love adults no matter how crap they're written.

try DM, or GX for a small percentage of people

I've talked to a fair share of normies about YGO both IRL and online, and none of them know anything about 5D's. If they have heard of it, they think it's ridiculous or shit. Literally the only people I've come into contact with who like 5D's at all are people who have watched every series. Even with GX the best you get is some normies who fondly remember the theme song and that's it, most people outside of these threads think YGO died after DM. You're just trying to justify liking your shitty series with retarded bullshit

see even this to me is hard to understand, all of his screen time up until S3 was fun to watch and he came off as extremely likable.

i don't even usually like that type of character that much, it's just judai

I honestly couldn't care less about your real life experiences talking to people about YGO. They're irrelevant and they most certainly don't prove my point wrong. The reason why I'm saying 5D's is/was popular with normies in the west is because it gained the same number of votes as GX on that KoA online poll, while Zexal and Arc-V were dead last. See, that's a fact that you can't counter by saying that you've talked to a few people who didn't know about 5D's.

>>149673977
not nearly as much as yugi though, and the majority of the sentiments he shared were not nearly as dragged out

that is also in part due to the fast paced filler nature of GX though

>>149673734
He never used it in the anime or the manga, but Infernity decks were able to Synchro summon multiple copies of Trishula's in one turn with relative ease, when it was introduced to the card game.
As a result, fans associate Infernity decks (and to an extent Kiryuu/Kalen), with Trishula.

>>149674023
Nobody cares about why Judai was acting the way he was. That's the character we were presented with and we came to hate.

>>149674023
His character development was handled far better than Yugi's and any other Yugioh character. Judai actually had flaws so bad that he fucked over all his friends. He grew from what he was in the first episode. His bouts of depression didn't start in S3. They started as early as his duel with Kaibaman when he imagined Shou and Hayato dying. Then his depression in S3 after being freed by O'Brien was handled incredibly well. His actions as Haou weren't forgotten by him or the monsters of the spirit world. He was mentally wrecked and they hated him. He couldn't even use his fusion cards due to remorse for what he did with them.

>>149673711
Yusei had some vague depth to his character in the first arc relating to him being a hotblooded guy who covered it up by trying to act calmly and the contrast he had with the exaggerated persona portrayed by the ultimately more cool-headed Jack.

But, thanks to whatever the fuck happened, those facades became their actual characters as of Part 2's first ep for some reason and Yusei abruptly stopped being a human being in all manners aside physical in order to better fit as card game jesus.

>>149673924

>>149674136
i actually agree with what you're saying though, i like judai in all seasons more than yugi but what i meant was that yugi's development was more grounded or "realistic"

i'm doing a terrible job of expressing what i mean but even as a judai fan i felt that the things you're describing were retarded sometimes. It didn't feel necessarily unrealistic within the context of the show i guess. It was handled well on paper, when you type it out like that it sounds better, but it just felt like they shoved a ton of ridiculous bullshit into the plot to allow him to develop. Even though there's evidence of it earlier in the show like you say, it was still mostly left out until s3 and it felt like everything got put on fast forward. I'm not really complaining, I actually liked Judai in s4 possibly more than before s3 and some development is better than none . Maybe it's because of the longer length of the show, but i just felt that DM didn't feel as unnatural in that regard and that the ending was more powerful from a character development standpoint I guess? Maybe it's because there was a lot less evidence of development in DM compared to the length of the show

>>149674631
>>149674136
Why did Sho become such a faggot in S3? Like he kept alternating between dick sucking judai and getting pissy at him. Does anyone else think that judai wasn't in the wrong he told Sho to figure something out his own in that one episode with Johan?

>>149674631
The big difference is that DM had a manga guiding it while GX was freehand. Another thing is that Yugi himself didn't develop much in anime canon. Atem was the one who did everything. Yugi didn't show signs of true development until the very end. The manga handles this a lot better but anime watchers aren't going to say that Yugi was a developed character for most of the show.

>>149674296
Actually, Manjoume would probably use his original Ojamas but his ace would be a fusion version of his Armed Dragon since that's what he's been assocated with the most second to the Ojamas, the V to Z series just felt like they were trying to tie him to Kaiba and I don't think I ever saw that monster again in season 4.

>>149672029
Did they pitch a fit when Shun started shitting out Rank-Up magics?

>>149674937
>Yugi didn't show signs of true development until the very end

agreed, that's kind of what i think helps to make it feel more legitimate, as dumb as that sounds. You're watching the show and everything is going swimmingly from a development standpoint, character motivations are all straight forward and they don't act inconsistently. Nothing really happens to challenge your views of them (apart from Atem's attitude after Yugi's soul was taken) like it does with Judai iirc. It's just the adventures of Atem until the end where it hits you that Yugi did learn a lot from him and that he's going to have to learn to live without his aibou. It could have been done better with more signs of Yugi's development throughout the show but it was simpler than Judai's shit so it felt more natural and believable. It didn't really NEED to have clear cut scenes that showcased development for Yugi because most of the show feels like evidence for that development once you're presented with the simple but effective stuff at the end

also everyone who died in s3 came back, i know judai's depression wasn't just limited to the fact that he had lost friends but it still made the whole thing feel more juvenile and took away from the viewer's ability to sympathize with judai

>>149675719
Actually,.yes. People did complain about Shun using an important plot point from Zexal like it was nothing. But Shun is popular so he has defenders. The biggest difference is that Rank Up cards are an easy way for Xyz monsters to get better in the anime without BS. Super Poly isn't needed for Fusion.

I remember people bitching about Crow and Shinji pretty much pulling off accel synchro without calling it that.

Yeah but it's all neatly organized with distinct points rather than just a bunch of rambling with emotions thrown in.

>>149676625
But the rambling emotions are what makes it fun, look at America and their reaction their new prez. Complete chaos.

Fuck the nips. I don't care about the opinion of nerdy japanese people. I just want to enjoy the show without hearing about how they are downvoting arc-v just for the meme.

>>149676475
So according to this the most offending episodes to the nips were 80, 92, 95, 98, 105, 110, 115 and 122.

>>149676475
Is it a video or forum post?

>>149676960
It's like a wikipedia article

>>149676888
Let's see
>80: Yuya flee from the stadium and reunites with Sora
Huh didn't expect that.
>92: Zarc cockblock
Not doubt.
>95: Lancers hold off security, Yuzu tells Yuya to duel Jack
Likewise with episode 80, didn't expect that.
>98: Jack vs Yuya conclusion
I think the offender of that episode was when the whole city became happy all of a sudden.
>105: Kaito vs Shun
Not sure why. Probably because of Shun using action cards to prove a point. Or they wanted Shun to win to prove his point.
>110
Probably because of Edo's character being treated as a joke. Aka stomping his feet.
>115
Pirates, enough said. Oh and a lazy way of capturing Yuzu.
>122: BB last episode
All of the episodes were pretty shit and poor.

That article lists 5 problems with Arc-V, but I can only make out four of these:
- The redundance of the script and the direction
- The "lack of depiction"
- The sloppy handling of the characters
- The production

>>149677229
It's over for Joeri. He killed too many characters already

>>149677362
(Bare in mind that my translation is a bit iffy)

The 4th problem that the article points out is that card games (and as a result dueling) isn't that important in the show.

One example of this is people interrupting left and right in duels, like Sergei interrupting the duel between Yuya and Barett in episode 92. Barett loses, but he still succeeds in taking Serena back to the fusion dimension.

Another example is the Yuya Vs Ruri and Serena duel, where Yuya won the duel, but Ruri and Serena remained brainwashed and Yuya ended up being captured anyway.

The problem expressed in this is that in the Arc-V anime, the results of some duels don't affect the events that come after it.

>>149677927
Isn't that basically how any fight could work out in a shounen though? You win the fight but they still succeed in their plans and shit?

It doesn't seem that bad. The real issue with cases like the duel in 124 is that there's no followup with Yuya vs the Doctor to finish the arc with a duel that DOES work like how Judai and Johan vs Yubel stopped the duel zombie shit.

>>149670180
Can't. Ruri is busy taking all those Yuto cummies she couldn't during this whole time

>>149673194
I DONT KNOW!!! How can a waifu be so perfect?!

>>149673101
Cause she doesn't like wearing pantsu

>>149677927
When the writer hates dueling what did you expect? Of course he's not going to make dueling matter in the story, it's only an obligation because this is a shill show. Why else would he let the carding beam work without needing to duel? Hell, why even say that Zarc can't be beaten unless it's by duel unless it's a suddenly sloppy attempt to explain why nobody tried to card Yuya when he set foot in Academia or even in xyz when Leo gave specific orders to KILL Yuya at that point?

>>149677229
Only in the last episode. Remember Vector? Even when the psycho actually got a heart, he didn't become a good guy and supported Nasch as a spirit in the his last duel against Yuma.

Only after everyone is happy and everyone got revived that Vector truly went good.

So, they can't do that shit to Yuri before the end. Even if it's Arc-V, this can't happen

If only this happened in episode 1. Perfect way to pay homage to DM episode 1.

>>149678025
I guess the article claims that theres too many of those kinds of duels in comparison to the past series, where victors of duels usually get something.

I haven't translated the whole section of the article, so I may be missing some points.

>>149678269
Ugh, You can be the evilest craziest motherfucker ever but it's okay because the protagonist is a super jesus figure who loves everybody. What a stupid unrealistic lesson to teach kids. Who do they think watch these shows? 5 year olds?!

>>149678378
The anon isnt wrong tho. Most of the things that have happened in the past 4 series have been bad guys getting to use their evil plan even with the heroes winning only to be beaten after that.

Kill is actually a good translation for "shitomeru".

Reminder the lancers were actually important for a small period of time before Jack VS Yuya in the Synchro Arc, with Jean-Michel Roger recognizing their skill and threat.

Which is, at the same time, some sort of justice was done to them and they getting the respect they deserve, in less than a single minute.

FUCK!!! I wanted more Sawatari winning, not him beating nameless opponents

>>149678835
>Reira,Tsukikage, Sora,Yuzu and Serena
Ugh, I wanted those last 3 to be together with everyone soo badly. Fuck Dennis.

>>149678835
I fucking miss the synchro climax. The entire arc was clumsily handled after the misadventures of the retard team ended, but the end to it was so fucking good aside the everyone instantly becomes friends asspull that Yuya/Jack resulted in.

>>149679003
I remember a time when people called Serena,Sawatari and Yugo the Baka three.

Looking back on it, I'm baffled at how dumb they were.

>>149678774
So when Yuya was trapped in a net and unable to defend himself with a duel disk, why didn't they just shoot him?

>>149679108
Same reason why the other logical reasonings were ignored.

>>149679108
If Yuya died, Zarc would then separate into his own entity at and kill Security, despite only being at half-power, but it'll get the job done.

>>149679003

Gotta admit, Synchro has a lot of fillers and cockblocking, but the climax is great.

>the only reason why i'am still watching this shitshow is for pic related
Stopped reading there. Yuri is the worst character in the entire show and you have extreme shit taste.

>>149679896
Nah, because NAS and Konami don't care about Nico Nico they'll probably have him direct the next series,too. since it saves them time from having to search for another director and Ono needs something to do while he waits for the next Symphonogear project to grow legs.

After all, Arc-V may be shit but unless it being shit starts to affect card game sells it's a success for them. It's still a success now as we know they didn't put much money into the product past the first season.

>>149680068
>Nah, because NAS and Konami don't care about Nico Nico they'll probably have him direct the next series,too.

Not happening.

>>149680068
NAS would never use the same director twice in a row. It never happened and Ono wouldn't be up for it anyway.

A character that kills every Gary Stu, Legacy Duelists, overrated characters, make their fandoms cry and is Smug while doing it isn't SHIT in my book.

>>149679896
Remember when he appeared about 80eps ago at the frontlines and only now starts actually doing things?

>>149680210
He just a sadist who likes laughing onimously. That's all there is to his character.
You clearly don't need much to be satisfied.

>>149680068
>Ono needs something to do

He's already working on 2 symphogear seasons. That's probably why he doesn't care about arc-v anymore.

>>149680368
How do the Symphogear fans feel about this? Ono at least does them right,right?

>>149680471
They hate him and I don't think it's confirmed he's working on 4 and 5.

With ARC-V yeah i don't.

>>149680471
Nope. It gets worse as it goes. Every single character goes through roughly the same character arc every season resulting in them becoming more and more a shell of their former selves.
S2 also introduces another trio as a foil to the main one and they arent as interesting as the main one and after their pretty uninteresting character arc happens they just hang there and the show does nothing interesting with them.

>>149676475
>According to this Ono explicitly said that he would make sure the legacy characters acted just like their original counterparts from their respective series.

Well he fucked up big time

>Edo in GX, strong willed, bit of an anti-hero, follows his own sense of justice
Edo in Arc-V, weak willed, bit of whiner, follows the will of whoever beats him in a duel

>Asuka in GX, very temperamental towards those she sees as enemies, tends to go all out in battle from the start, tons of admirers

Asuka in Arc-V,some what easy going seems to retain her aggressive dueling style and makes alot of blunders.

>Kaito in Zexal, very predictable dueling style, very stoic demeanor and tended to lose more then win after his arc.

The GX characters were robbed but Crow,Jack and Kaito act just like they do in their home series.

Maybe Ono just hates GX. I feel bad for Asuka's VA she seemed excited to play the character again only to her her do absolutely nothing but die to a shill deck.

All that matters is that she is a Ruri.

Not always true. It's not like Psycho Pass season 2 was given a lot of leeway on how terrible it was.

But what you're talking about does seem slightly more common when it comes to children's targeted shows. The older teens and adults watching them feel more validated and less insecure about being manchildren watching children's programming, when it doesn't fucking matter on anonymous or near-anonymous boards.
