Himika: Pendulum Dimension?

Reiji: Yes. This world used to be the Standard Dimension, but it has been reborn as the Pendulum Dimension.
Anyone can perform Pendulum Summon…

Reiji: …Ever since that day…

Himika: And that child is…

Reiji: I’ve already taken measures.
There’s no need to worry, Mother.

Himika: Reiji-san.
Is this really going to work?
Can this Duel really bring back that child’s…
Reira’s smile? (Egao Count: 259+1=260)

Reiji: Of course.
The only one who can bring back Reira’s smile is Sakaki Yuya. (Egao Count: 260+1=261)
However, in order to accomplish that…

Yusho: Yuya needs to climb over a big barrier.

Yusho: If he is defeated just like that, then he’s still not that good as a Duelist.

Reiji: Mother. I’ll apologize in advance, but should he lose, you’ll have to give up on Reira’s smile. (Egao Count: 261+1=262)

Himika: *gasps*

I don't understand.

Arc-V must be one of the most disappointingly bad things in all of Yugioh, and has certainly been one of the worst anime series in these last year and a half, and each following episode seems to dig that grave a little deeper each at a time.

Why do I keep coming back?

I don't get it, they're also doing some sort of Yu-Gi-Oh 20th Selection special where they air some select episodes from the previous series (last week was Quasar episode from 5D's), so why couldn't they have just ended Arc-V early and used that timeslot to air the specials instead of dragging it out with a fucking recap this late into the series.

Hey, I didn't wanna make a new thread for this even though I'm sure you guys aren't the ones to ask this but I just finished Kaiji. Is Season 0 of Yu Gi Oh an ok series? I want more people playing games and dying.

>>153085980

>>

He's talking about Season 0, the YuGiOh before the TCG became a thing.
>>
>>153086216
see
>>153085980
>>
So I haven't been keeping up but I know last episode they were still dueling Zarc.
Is this a post-timeskip episode or is it something else like its all in his head type deal?
>>
>>153086325
World reset...kinda. The dimensions are back to normal, but Standard Dimension is now Pendulum Dimension, everyone has faint recollections of the past, and Reiji is trying to get them to remember via Tsukikage's help.
>>
>>153086325
it's fuckin
i dunno
something about a baby
they're having another battle royal and they're trying to make the baby EGAO
>>
>>153086245
so would you recommend it?
>>
>>153086399
Huh, so Leo Akaba still failed in the end. I really thought the world would get refused but everyone would still be them. Cool.
>>
>>153086413
Not really. Season 0 is kinda shit. You'd be far better off reading manga volumes 1-7.
>>
>>153086413
Haven't actually watched it myself, so I don't know, but the manga was okay.
>>
>>153086325
The last time someone used the Forbidden Four plot device cards, the dimension was shattered in four and everyone forgot their memories, though Leo kept residual memories and eventually recovered them with science.

Zarc was defeated with those cards again, so the same thing happened except Standard became Pendulum dimension and the ones that kept their memories were Reiji and Yusho. It's implied Himika and Tsukikage may have kept them as well, though it isn't 100% cause they may have been awakened by Reiji at some point before this episode.
>>
>>153086451
>>153086467
oh good, I don't really want to watch an anime, but since you guys said the manga is solid I'll read that. Why only 1-7?
>>
>>153085160
She's coming back, otherwise there would be no point in having her be gone in the first place.
>>
>>153086444
Trips

Leo's priority was his daughter and then the rest. He failed at getting his daughter, failed to unite the dimensions (though this was a secondary goal as the end was Ray) and since Zarc was stopped, technically his resurrection was stopped.

So he failed 2 and succeeded in 1.
>>
>>153086537
You wanted Season zero stuff. That stuff is adapted from volumes 1-7.

- Everybody lost their memory except Reiji, Himika and Yusho.
- Reira is the baby.
- Standard is now known as Pendulum dimension.
- Yuya still has those skates, as well as Yuzu's belongings are still intact. (This implies rather than the world resetting, Yuzu and the others were just taken out from existence.)
- Yuya remembers everything next episode

WAT.
>>
>>153089705
Yup, but unlike Blazblue, Yuzu still has a chance at returning. Her room is still there, her fan is still there and her duel disk is still there. She won't end up like a certain Nii-sama. If anything, this is like the Bleach: Fade to black movie and right now, Tsukikage is trying to make Yuya remember his bankai or in this case, the fact that he can use fusion, synchro and xyz summons. Gongenzaka didn't synchro summon either and Sawatari got a new Abyss Actor

Reiji: Don’t hold back, Tsukikage!
Give Sakaki Yuya a thorough beatdown!

Himika: Reiji-san!
If you do that, that child will…

Yusho: If he is defeated just like that, then he’s still not that good as a Duelist.

Reiji: Mother. I’ll apologize in advance, but should he lose, you’ll have to give up on Reira’s smile.

savage but true, Yuya losing to Tsukikage of all people definitely shows he's lost a good chunk of his skills from all the battles he fought prior to the reset

Wait, does that mean this is happening in xyz,academia and synchro as well? They're probably wondering why there aren't any tops or commons anymore

Well, he did start the duel by summoning an 800 ATK monster with no useful effect in attack mode.

>>153091408
And instead of activating his stupid skates to go action card surfing he took the much slower hippo. I don't think Yuya even remembers what those boots do

I just started watching the show again (clips of it on YouTube). I haven't watched it since Yuya and the Fusion semen demon were wandering in Synchro Dimension (I got into Pokémon instead)

Apparently there's a Pendulum Dimension now...

Please tell me that there was a Ritual Dimension after all! Right?
>>
>>153091499
He used them at the beginning of the episode. The hippo was just fanservice.

If I were him, I'd keep a low profile. Once everyone's memories come back, they're gonna want to beat his face in. Yuri, probably wouldn't care if all memories returned, he'd probably be happy to duel every single person he carded and defeated, even if they were to take him on all at once.

WHAT THE FUCK

SYNCHRO IS BACK?!

ARC-V SUCKS NOW.

>>153099745

I think I actually had the most fun during Synchro.
>>
>>153099745
WHAT THE FUCK
CARD GAME COMMERCIALS ARE BACK?
YGO6 SUCKS NOW
>>
>>153099563
At least it got BA to help. Also, in the manga Yuto got Cracked Helm and Fragile Armor (a 66,6% increase in monsters) and with the existence of Dark Anthelion Dragon it means Phantom Knights will be able to do rank 7.

Which is nice. It was awesome how in Standar they had made the Xyz Dimension duelists be people that used multiple ranks.

Then this was abandoned in Xyz and then when they tried to redo this in Fusion was giving us Cursed Javelin (seriously, Ono? Yuto uses his deck own again after 80 episodes and that was all?)
>>
When do we get episode spoilers?
>>
>>153099805
I can agree with this to some degree. The show definitely declined during synchro, but it was still a lot of fun and Roger's wild ride from 76-99 was exciting from beginning to end. Things only got truly shit when we got to XYZ and had to deal with Kaito and Edo's bullshit.

Honestly, if the Doctor and Leo were the main antagonists from 100 onward with the brainwashed ruris being given the spotlight for duels instead of Edo, the useless sisters, BB, and the fucking pirate, it would've probably been pretty fun.
>>
>>153099954
Ono doesn't really decide when it's time for shilling. It's probably because of Konami and their rate of printing his cards.
>>
>>153099805
Synchro was fun, but plot progressed far slower in it.

Reason synchro is hated is because too much time in it led to the next seasons to be rushed. And also because while the nostalgia characters in synchro were treated and used well, the rest weren't.

The 5D's wanking even AFTER synchro made everything worse, but synchro arc was actually nice.

He's right. Synchro was pretty good, albeit slow as shit. It was only from XYZ onward that it became a total shitshow.
>>
Alright /a/rc-v
the series is ending.
I want some help organizing my thoughts.
I have issues with the Setting, the Characters and the Plot, but they're all a disorganized storm of words.
So help me isolate some things.

I think the series taking place over like, 4 different locations isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it was handled very poorly.
Synchro wasn't something we had a reason to even be interested in beforehand like with Heartland and Academia.

And when it was finally explored; it turned out to be kind of uninteresting. Academia wasn't interesting either, and I get that it's because Academia is mostly a front for a greater operation, I still think it's bad. I wish we had gotten a connection to the students and soldiers and a reason to care about them or rather, a reason to feel like they cared about themselves and what they were doing.

I dislike the Interdimensional War because it doesn't really even feel like a thing for the most part. Heartland was also kind of ass, but not for setting reasons.

Certain Mangaka really make going from place to place thrive, but Arc-V doesn't.

The 4 dimension setting was handled very poorly as well. The characters only explore one city/island for each dimension, which made the whole inter-dimensional war hype overexaggerated.

With the budget, probably.

I suspect the war idea was basically fucked as soon as the show was extended by a year, considering it seems like the budget wasn't increased to compensate based on the complete lack of action duels and the limited animation in synchro and XYZ; if it was, contracts were likely set in stone for the important characters. Reiji's non-presence for 30 eps of synchro, Yuzu's diminishing presence, and the complete disappearance of Mieru from the show after she was one of the few people to survive observing the battle royale in-person point to that.

Everything went wrong with the Synchro Dimension, with the introduction of the legacy characters being a close second in my opinion.

Legacy characters can either save or ruin pieces of work, depending on the characters treatment but in Arc-V it turned out to be the latter as the staff treated both legacy and Arc-V characters horribly.

I actually liked how they used crow and Jack, though it's quite apparent that shinji was originally supposed to take Crow's role, given his lack of any actual lines until the tourney started. As well, Jack continued his 'I'm the best' characterization that he had in 5D's and functioned as a fantastic obstacle for yuya to overcome.

The same cannot be said for the other legacy characters however, and synchro had other problems over legacy characters, like the pacing and shot for shot retelling of 5Ds for around 30 episodes.

2- If it's trending it's being discussed. A series at its ending sometimes revived dead fandoms and people that quit/put it on hold. For example, by its ending Homestuck became trending on reddit and on the likes. Specially after a really stupid end that happened. So, same with Arc-V.
3- It may not be popular as anime per se, but it is watched by the players as well.

Truth to be told, it actually may be th first. When I found that image, there was a comment saying Arc-V became the most watched in Tv Tokyo 3-4 times.

I'm starting to think the Nico Nico ratings received may be really caused by mostly trolls in Japan. Like, sure, it isn't what it used to be, but we are talking about Japan here, the land of School Harems and Isekais. Wouldn't be surprising if aside Eita's ep and 92 that Arc-V as a whole was still accepted well outside nico nico
>>
>>153110464
That's not it either, Arc-V isn't popular, but all Yuya Yuzu episodes end up being popular on twitter. And this episode was Yuya x Yuzu even without Yuzu in it, since her absence was the focal point of the directing(like cutting to her fan and shit)

A lot of the low nico ratings are just for the amusement factor on the nips' part, but Arc-V kind of set itself up for this by faffing around and teasing for 100+ episodes. It doesn't even take that much to appease them and guarantee good ratings. Throw in some basic shounen fare and see it through, but Arc-V never does the carry through part.

>>153111517
At least Yugo got some duels. Yuto only got to possess Yuya for a few seconds when the latter acted retarded.

>>
>>153111583
It was his episode that made people stick around instead dropping Arc-V. Seriously Yuya and Yuzu were awful protagonists in the beginning. It was Yuto and Shun who kept us interested
>>
One thing I regret about Arc-V being trash is the lack of fanmade nico content and edits compared to past series
>>
>>153111641
It's just nostalgia. Yuya was a huge faggot for twenty episodes and we had to follow Yuzu for a while which was annoying because she somehow confused the edgy guy with egao boy. Honestly it was Shun. Sora, Reiji, and Yuto who made standard good.
>>

>>153111193
If it was just about the amusement factor, ratings wouldn't fluctuate based on episode quality. This has never happened before in the history of Nico. The number of votes hasn't gone up. The show is just really bad. It doesn't take much to please the Japanese audience but it doesn't take much to piss them off either. Love Live Sunshine's final episode was essentially a clipshow and it pissed them off giving it the lowest rating of the franchise. Arc-V has been mishandled far worse than that single episode.

All the main characters had development during the arc, the side characters had a sizeable role (and were fairly competent) in the narrative for a solid chunk of the arc, the main girl was in the focus and had a full git gud arc (very unusual for a YGO show), and all summon methods got love. Additionally, there were a lot of callbacks to prior shit without being as blatant as shoving crow and jack in the OP (Rank up, d-wheels, duel academia). It did almost everything right for an introductory arc.. Also action duels were a neat gimmick that allowed for exciting action scenes like during Yuya/Sawatari II, Yuzu/Masumi II, Gon/Nega Gon, or Shun/Sora I
>>
>>153111897
>good
>>
>>153111804
They do fluctuate some, but they're pretty consistently low. Which is at least partly inflated by the novelty of participating in a collective effort to communicate very clear discontent in the most visible way possible. Nico ratings aren't objective measures of quality, it's a measure of how happy that specific show's audience is with a series. If a trashy fanservice show does what its audience wants, it's 1s and good ratings across the board.

What the hell is the difference between "entertainment dueling" and just dueling?

Is it just interacting with the monsters, like when Yuya rides around on the hippo? Why does that even impress the audience? Yuya is like 14 year old, ffs. It'd make a bit more sense if he was around the Shivers kid's age. And why doesn't every other duelist in the show do it, if it would help them find the Action spells easier?

The whole angle of Yuya babbling about egao as a way to resolve conflicts/duels never made sense to me. Like, why were the Tyler twins so impressed with that rocket ship ending in their duel that they got converted to egao? What's the difference between that and the way the Tyler twins were dueling?

You LITERALLY have to pretend that it's somehow different than any other duel. This whole series is "we can't show, so we just tell". So it's completely fucking arbitrary whether a duel is "entertainment" or whether a duelist is being "brutal" or not and it's completely regardless of what monsters and tactics he plays. The EXACT SAME DUEL can happen twice and the results will be completely different depending on what the showrunner wants.

Cause Yuya was already fused when he awakened.

Yuto and Yugo were fighting each other with their dragons on the field on their first time.

Yuri was just psychotic. He first awakened when the chip made Yuya nearly go insane, which affected the four of them, and the second time was when fighting Yugo and the four dragons were summoned close to each other.

Only after THAT he started displaying awakening by himself, which was the same event that caused Yuto to ba able to manifest himself better.
>>
>>153114925
>>153115020
The Yuus need to have fused with another fragment to go berserk from pure stress. One single unfused Yuu only goes berserk if he summons his dragon while in a duel with another fragment.
>>
>>153115070
yeah, but zarc awakened when yuya wanted to win at all costs vs strong ishijima.

At the time that was happening, Yuri was already busy going through Xyz and synchro acting as the professor's hitman and participating in the genocide of Xyz scum. He'd long since settled into a WAAC mentality.

I mean, the timeline is kind of vague, but Xyz had long since been besieged at the start of the anime, hadn't it? Reiji was already developing keikaku, and by episode 7, yuto and shun were already in standard looking for SOME way to stop the professor.

That's still based not off of logic. It makes no sense logically that a badly directed episode is lower than an error in broadcasting. To give a show a 0.1/10 makes no sense if you compare that to the plethora of shows that're awful and to broadcasting errors. The nips may hate Arc-V but to talk about it this much means more than hatred and to give it a 0.1/10 is still unreasonable if you want to argue about the shows quality. The bad ratings may not be trolls but rather fans who now hate the show and are voting based on feelings rather than objectivity. And NicoNico isn't representative of nips, it's only a small subsection of viewers. And when you have a majority of comments saying "1 lolololol" then it means even less. You can hate Arc-V all you want but it's not the worst show ever, thus the ratings are objectively wrong. And even worse, you're giving tons of your attention and time to something you don't like which never really made sense to me. If you don't like it, drop it. That's like hating SAO but going on SAO forums and threads to discuss it 24/7.

No one is rating it 0.1/10. They're rating it 1/5. A broadcast error is an error. It was an accident. It wasn't supposed to happen. Everything in Arc-V was supposed to happen. All the bullshit that insults your intelligence was planned out by someone. Arc-V episodes aren't just badly directed. They're bad in every single aspect and even shit on previous shows in the franchise. You can't even use the small subsection of viewers crap because TV views are extremely small. These are the only ratings we have. You can't compare them to data that doesn't exist. People still come to these threads because they liked the show at one point and want to see it through. No one said Arc-V was the worst anime ever. NicoNico doesn't even rate every single anime every season. Only certain shows go up there. Arc-V is objectively bad and fans have the right to express their feelings towards it.

Yes it has become objectively bad but people are treating it like it's the worst show ever based on the ratings. And if fans are expressing their feelings, then a terrible rating based on feelings is not objectivity. Again, the show has become bad but the terrible ratings are not based on objectivity if it's fans expressing their FEELINGS towards it.

It's not even the worst YGO, it's like people forget that Zexal and GX first half exists!

See, I can't take you seriously when you try and say any Yugioh series is worse than Arc-V. No parts of Zexal or GX are as bad as Arc-V. They do everything better than Arc-V.

Standard was better than all of Zexal 1.

Zexal and GX at least get better. Arc-V starts out great and then turns into one huge disappointment after the other.

Hey I've been watching GX and I've reached season 4.
Is what everyone says about this season being shit true? Because Judai seems like a cunt now and the plot seems fucked.
>>
>>153121015
The problem with most of that stems with what said shows are working with and what kind of feel it tries to portray. GX first half while indeed wild it still held out well with at first starting to develop the characters as well as try a slice of life feel towards it. Zexal starts average at best until things started taking a new step(the arclights and Barians later on). Sure, the majority of filler they have do get irritating but it still gives them their own identity and a best it's own kind of fun.

ARC-V, while the first portion of gives a lot of potential with debatable pacing afterward it becomes too plot driven with very little filler which could have been used to develop the characters more as their own instead of being mere chess pieces because the plot demands it. Then of course, you have the high amounts of favoritism, poor execution, production issues, EGAO Messiah, character shafting and laziness that damages the show far ones than the others did.

To me, ARC-V arguably the worst because of how little emotion and care there is for these characters and story they try to work with.

>>153117690
We're talking about nico's score system here, right?

1 is the best good score you can give a show
5 is the lowest bad score

>>153121015
The difference is that for anyone who bothered to stick with GX and Zexal, they were already sitting through some of the worst parts from the very start, and the only direction to go is up. I'd also argue that both shows cared marginally more about its original cast (even GX, yes) than Arc-V.

If a show is just bad from the beginning, people don't really care. Especially if it's only 1-2 cours. If it's good/alright and then heavily nosedives in quality, it's a much bigger sin to its invested viewers. This is just a general anime thing.

None of that really matters though, including your precious objectivity. If, despite any infamy, Arc-V is getting those cards moved off shelves at the same rate of the Zexal era or more, it's a win for NAS and Konami.
>>
>>153122428
I find it hilarious that people shit on early GX and Zexal but praise early Arc-V. All of them were slice of life to start.
>>
>>153122596
Probably because Yuto and Shun were introduced relatively early as a tangible plot thing, and they were cool and kind of edgy.

Also I do see how Yuma's personality would be the most abrasive between the three series' starts, but I personally don't really care about Yugioh MCs either way as long as the rest of the cast are doing some things. Arc-V's villains were definitely the weakest in the franchise, and that's like half the intrigue of the cast.
>>
>>153122733
The other shows introduced cool characters early on too. GX had Ryo who even beat Judai early on to show he had a ways to go and Zexal had Kaito and Shark.
>>
>>153122861
I should've said 'cool characters with really mysterious backgrounds that are blown open to speculation'. Yuto and his face really fueled that.

With Ryo, Kaito and Shark you understood their general deal after a few episodes with them. If it's one thing Arc-V could really do, it's leading viewers by the nose.
>>
>>153122596

There was also the novelty of all the summons getting equal spotlight. And the heroine beating the MC for the only time in the series.

It's really sad that none of the Arc-V characters were able to meet their hype. Most characters were at their prime at standard, maybe in Synchro but definetely plummeted during/after Xyz.

What makes this jarring is that a lot of the characters became inconsistent in their behavior and actions as the plot progressed.

Remember when we all used to joke that once Shun reached Academia, he would just go nuts and tear down everyone and everything in his way until he finally found his Ruri?

Or that Ruri was actually every bit as merciless as her brother is and had already dueled her way out of there herself?

I honestly can't believe that the writers could manage to mess up Shun VS Ruri, which was hyped by many viewers.
Plot-wise the duel wasn't even neccesary, as Ruri remained brainwashed and Shun would get knocked out by Serena without a duel which is beyond stupid.
>>
>>153109397
Yes I agree with this anon, this is true. Everyone was excited when Edo was announced and it was so anticipated.
Then they destroyed his character and his Destiny cards in entirety, how in the world did he not "officially" beat Yuya!?, why is he not acting like the most badass dude in the entire show like we know and love, why the fuck is he he throwing temper tantrums ?, why are his Destiny Heroes,... not Destiny Heroes and some are instead even 5Ds disguises!!!??

Zexal was the highest-rated YGO since the original.

Overwhelming consensus is the same as fact. You could defend literally any piece of media with your line of logic, no matter how terrible.

GX got higher ratings than Zexal. Zexal did outperform 5Ds though.

Stop pulling this out of your ass. It's GX. Also I find it funny how Yusei merchandise sell faster than Yuma's, considering Zexal was 'better' than 5D's.

3rd panel: Zarc gets annoyed because Yuzu and the girls are still babbling about Yuya.

Tell that to all the dummies arguing and whining about it nonstop.

You're right, only money matters. And to be honest, Ono sure knows how to hook a crowd and bait it throughout the series. He's also really good at making patterns, which appeals to the enormous OCD/autistic component of the fanbase (maybe most of the fanbase?) present in Japan and the West. Just look at the 4 dragons, the Yuya upgrades, etc. Don't count Ono out of YGO, that man knows how to make the franchise rake in the profits.
>>
>>153125623
Well, Ono's most recent Symphogear season still sold discs despite the supposed character assassination, iirc.

Only the higher ups would know Arc-V era's exact sales numbers compared to previous years, though. It's also hard to know with nip companies how prudish they can be about bad rep (even if it's relatively minor). Sometimes just a couple wrong tweets gets someone blacklisted.

Yuma was like the 12th most popular character in the entire series according to the Yugioh Cafe popularity poll held over last summer in Japan.
This also placed Yuma as the 2nd popular Zexal character in Japan, with Kaito placing around 4th place.

I know the results don't reflect the entire fanbase, but I'm pretty sure that Yuma has a decent following. (at least in Japan).
