Today, the Semifinals start
He's so jealous
Do you all enjoy the manga's less is more approach? Using less characters for more screentime?
>>153336094
>says the same thing Asuka did
wew lad
>>153336642
I miss some characters, but I'm fine with it this way. It feels a lot better handled.
>>153336642
One of the anime problems is definitely there are too much characters. Jaden got too much rivals and in the end, some characters got shafted and completely forgotten. Bastion/Misawa is the prime example.
>>153336684
See, this is what's missing from a universe where everyone uses the exact same deck every time. You'd expect a lot more specific counters.
>>153336222
The fuck? Did this happen in the anime? I didn´t know he wanted Asuka.
>>153336829
Nah in the anime Chazz likes Asuka, but all she wants is Jaden's dick. In the manga, Asuka is oblivious to Misawa's affection, and isn't interested in anyone
>>153336965
>Judai draws Miracle Fusion next turn
>>153337098
>Floodgates are fun
>>153336642
I like the focus on the original cast since they are my favorites, but I prefer their anime decks.
The most exciting time of the day has finally come!
>>153336642
>Counterdecking
Sad Misawa.

I love how many ways to manga Judai has to fuse
>>153338125
Aw shit motherfucking Gaia
Honestly, The Earth is kinda boring.
>>153338091
Yeah, it actually shows his thought process, not only spamming cards like crazy.
>>153338161
All his other fusions are better than the Earth desu
>>153338091
>Polymerization
>Parallel World Fusion
>Trap Fusion
>probably Miracle Fusion
>Deck Fusion
He might as well run Fusion Gate while he's at it.
>>153338125
I like the six element fusion E-Heroes. I don't think the manga ever explains it, but Gaia just needs one Earth monster and any E-Hero to make.
Later on, he makes Gaia using Ocean and Forestman.
Time for the rival to hype up the big bad
>>153338170
>>153338203
It's just like Sho >>153337639 says here. For a anime/manga logic deck Judai's deck is pretty good and has it's bases covered.
>>153338569
This guy is edgier than Edgeman.
>>153338598
>Asuka and Sho still mad they lost to him
kek
>>153338708
>put Chazz in a coma
>steal his best card in front of the school
How does he expect to get away with this?
Shadow Games are back
>>153338739
It's a Shadow Game. Ain't gotta explain shit.

>>153338053
>My grandfather's deck has no pathetic cards!
>>153338936
Oh. Well fuck me.
>>153339111
>Chazz talking shit about weak monsters
He'd probably have a conniption if he saw his own anime deck.
Never noticed how his deck is similar to Marik's strats.
>>153339157
Not like Deskbots cannot OTK already, but it would be fun to tech it in
>>153339208
He's got kind of a Bandit Keith thing going on with the machine monster theme, too.
I'm surprised he doesn't use something like Blast Sphere given that his signature monster has a Burn effect.
Judai isn't used to such edge
>>153339327
>oh that Joker Manjoume, pretending to react to attacks
So apparently duels double as performance theater regularly
>>153339407
They are learning how to be professional duelists, so putting on a show for the audience wouldn't be a bad idea.
>>153339422
>Stop! You are having fun the wrong way!
Sasuga Judai.
>>153339422
>it's a "I'm getting off to my own sadism" episode
What is it about this game that attracts these kinds of people?
>>153339464
Would you say they are aiming forentame?
>>153339521
>there's actually an entame card in Arc-V
>turned into a damsel out of nowhere
>>153339764
She'll redeem herself somewhat at least soon.
I get the feeling Raab watched the BC finals religiously.
>>153339520
What better feeling could there be than beating a nerd proud of his skill at his own game and destroy his worldview and the only thing he truly loves and thrives in?
They may be edgelords but don't criticize until you've broken the hopes of someone. It really does feel good.
>>153339764
Being a woman in Yu-Gi-Oh is suffering.
>>153339812That does sound pretty good, actually.

We Bandit Keith now.
>>153340371
He's even from America.
>>153335890
Why do Vehicroids suck so fucking much?
>>153340531
Because the Getter ones are manga-only.
>>153340536
>200 LP left
>LaDD has 2800 ATK
>Big Saturn has 2500 ATK
Welp.
>>153340584
But the Manga ones that they printed sucked too. Although for some reason Shuttleroid still hasn't been imported even though it's been almost a decade.
>kek Chazz beat the Kaiba curse
>>153336053

Poor Misawa, he got no respect in the anime

>when the Chazz is too based to lose to the main villain
>>153340731
This guy really like to Reeeeee at Kuriboh and LaDD
>>153340761
Reeeeeing at Kuriboh is a time-honored tradition.
>>153336684
The Earth sucks though, why do they keep hyping it so much? Absolute Zero or Gaia would be better things to summon in this situation.
>>153336776
>>153336818
>Hero Signal only summons from deck
>Judai summons Ocean from HAND
>>153340855
M-muh Planets.Jaden starts using those soon.

He probably broke his nose.
>>153337182
They actually released Gozuki in the OCG 2 months ago.
mwhaha it is i the true villain of the tourney
>>153341097
>Gozuki doesn't have a combo with Mezuki yet
Fucking bullshit.
>>153341109
>strategically lost in a regular match so that she wouldn't get beaten by the Chazz
Devious.

>>153337427
>>153337470
>Spell card that searches any spell card in the deck for no cost
What the fuck? That's ridiculously OP.
This guy is REEEE incarnate
>>153341200
They also use Pot of Greed.
>>153337997
That's because it isn't really his best card
>>153341298
>when you're so assblasted that you flashback to 3000 years ago
>4k lp
Magic cylinder would a 3 of in every deck.
I used to think this happened during Seto's reign as Pharoah, but seems I was wrong
>>153341392
>Seto summoning Kuriboh
This must be after he got humiliated by Atem.
>>153341396
Yugi and Sho of all people are the only duelists smart enough to run that card.
>Kul-Elna just produces SSJ level beings with massive Ka
Big mistake leaving survivors
>>153341646

Impossible! No one's ever been able to summon him!
>>153340531

>>153341690
>people were shitposting with Kuriboh even 3000 years ago
>>153341726
Yeah, I was just making a dumb reference.
>>153341702
Good old Pussy Destroyer.
Our villain is a monster who can't handle getting BTFO by Kuriboh
Really must suck to discover this huge power and then get owned by Kuriboh. Bakura did it right, this guy didn't even reach Atem
>>153341817
>3000 years later
>still mad about getting beaten by Kuriboh
Are we sure this guy isn't Kaiba's father?
>>153341817
See, this is why Egypt went to shit. Because they kept everything secret and just coddled the Pharaoh. A weak ruler makes for a weak nation.
Bakura was right.
>>153341897
Who wouldn't be butthurt about getting KURIBOHD?
>>153341900
Should've just let Atem Mind Crush everyone or scorch them with Ra.
>>153341900
apparently all of the bullshit ended with Atem's reign. Seto's reign was peaceful and prosperous.
>>153341954
Will you post the whole final now?
Battle City is extremely popular and everyone watched the finals. Did they think Bakura, Marik, Joey, Mai, Odion, and Yugi were just pretending to be hurt?
>>153341954
>Atem ruined Egypt
>Seta made Egypt great again
Is there anything the Kaibas can't do?
>>153342042
Joey just had a tummy ache and fell down, obviously
>>153342000
I found it funny that Zanestill uses Cyber Dragon like in the anime, but Atticus uses Wind monsters instead of Red Eyes.
>>153342042
>Odion and Joey get struck down by lightning
>everyone just chalks it up to Kaiba being Kaiba
I'd believe it.
>>153342018
Just up to the end of the volume, it's a long duel and will probably reach the image limit
>>153342138
>styled like the top of Alcatraz
Nice.
>>153342088
>it's a long duel and will probably reach the image limit
Then make a new thread, duh.
>>153342042
Reggie fucking blacked out and no one questioned it. It really must be a normal thing.
>>153342265
Kyaaa Fubuking <3
>In the anime he's possessed by Darkness and missing
>In the manga he's just chilling overseas pulling American girls
>>153342042
And did they think that Marik and Bakura were just pretending to be evil?
>>153342316
The real Pussy Destroyer.
>>153342347
"This Marik guy is one hell of an actor!"
>>153342042
What they thought was a good question considering that more than one duel ended with someone passing out, the guy everyone thought was Marik at the start turned out to not be Marik, and the conversations generally were filled with stuff that would make no sense to someone who didn't already know what was going on.
>>153342413
>Marik accidentally inspired everyone to overreact during duels due to his edge
I want to believe this is canon.
>>153342407
I want Fubuki to destroy my pussy.
Of all anime characters to get a cameo, she made the cut
>>153342432
Kaiba probably edited the shit out of it when the DVD was released.
>>153342413
It's clear that the cops didn't care since none of the Rare Hunters were ever arrested.
>>153342638
>just cuts from Yugi beating Marik to everything exploding as Kaiba flies away in a fighter jet
>>153342626
She was the school nurse in the anime, and this scene required a school nurse, no reason not to use her.
I will always be thankful for her giving us Nurse Reficule.
>>153342701
>The records were faked, it's obvious that all those contestants just pretended to faint
>>153342701
>T-They were just pretending! It was just acting! It was CGI Kaibacorp added in!
>>153342638
>Kaiba edits Joey and Marik's duel to make it look like Joey legitimately lost instead of losing due to fainting
>>153342811
>He only did it to fuck with Joey
>>153342626
>hot nurse shows up
Woo.
Best hero shows up in this duel
>>153342998
>he actually did have Miracle Fusion
>>153342998
Really, there is no reason to ever summon The Earth when Gaia is better in every way.
I have to leave for work now, so I'll just read the comments on the thread on my phone.
Was it ever said why they made LED and DED Synchro monsters? Seems kind of weird.
>>153343109
>Was it ever said why they made LED and DED Synchro monsters? Seems kind of weird.
Even the author was mad about that one.
>>153343090
I think you kipped a page.
>>153343107
The effect might be useful if there's another strong Hero & weaker enemies.
>>153343165
Nope, he immediately responded to the attack with his trap.
>>153343182
Oh god oh god
He's gonna Absolute Zero fuck yes I'm rock hard
>>153343165
I am mistaken, forget my comment.
>>153343205
But most of the time Judai just uses The Earth as either a 2500 beater, or uses its effect to boost its attack (and the boosts usually aren't that big) in order to run over strong monsters.
And that ends this volume! Next time, the finals conclude and best girl duels. Who will take home the crown and battle the Kaiser?!
>>153343313
Muh planet series
>>153343182
It's weird just how different the effects of Judai's main deck monsters are IRL.
>>153343358
>Stratos' effect in the manga is "can directly attack the opponent by halving its ATK points".
If the real card kept this effect, it wouldn't have been banned.
>>153343469
If unbanning Stratos means that it would be shit then I don't want to live in a world where Stratos is unbanned.
>>153342626
It's pretty funny that the nurse shows up, and she has a modest chest size compared to everyone else when she was pretty busty in anime.

they printed this one
>>153342042
I dont think anyone saw the finals in the manga actually did they?

boy will you be saddened to see Zero's manga effect
>>153341564
>Big mistake leaving survivors
It was the right thing to do.
Just imagine the Millennium Ring after it ate on Diabound and Tragodia. No one would be able to wear it without turning Egypt into a wasteland.
>>153343337
how many volumes the GX manga is?
>>153342638
lol
>>153342069
>Atem ruined Egypt
Nah, the seeds of destruction were sown with Akhaden. Atem is just the world's greatest garbageman taking out Zorc.

>>153336094
Did Judai ever get this worried in the anime
>>153338490
I like how the villain waited for Atem to die to start doing shit
>>153338780
I'll admit he may be edgy but I do like the "eye glows red with bloodlust for a sec" trope in anime and manga
>>153350946
Not by choice, I think he got unsealed after Atem passed.
>>153342762

>>153337436
I agree, Bastion's deck being focused on that ritual math monster of his would of been fun and actually in character compared to the that other shit like the plus=minus monsters and water dragon shit. I also like Alexis's Cyber Angel ritual deck compared to her Ice counter deck.
>>153341646
Tragoedia was printed, even though it wasn't actually played in the manga. It's better than his boss monster was, too.
>>153341528
so, we are finally going there
Wasn't expecting this plot to be here
So is it DM manga, Darkside of dimensions then GX manga for true DM-GX canon as written by Kaz? Yugi,Kaiba,Joey and Mai are no longer duelists in the GX manga but they are legendary and while Judai does idolize Yugi, he's not his end all be all goal here, Koyo is and he even got Winged Kuriboh from him instead of Yugi. I think I like this better
>>153355569
To be fair the canon-ity of GX and the rest is very questionable after DSOD. Yeah you can argue the only thing that changed was Yugi making his own game but it really doesn't make sense that Yugi's game wouldn't go on to be the most successful in the world with kaibacorps backing. It's all up to your imagination I guess.
>>153355665
Or how the GX duel disks are outdated by Kaiba's new duel disk, 6 months after the end of the original, even though GX takes place way later in the future.
>>153355569
If you want to be technical, GX could still potentially take place in a post DSOD world. It's just easier to supply the students with the V2 Duel Disk than Kaiba's new Duel Links one. possibly.
>>153356639
Like I said it's all up to your imagination but if you take how fast paced and advanced the duels were in DSOD (still garbage compared to the t0 meta decks) and compare them to the GX duels it just looks sad. Everyone is a C-tier duelist even if it's a school for dueling. It's hard to create content that follows canon 6~ years after it was released though so...
>>153356639
They just run on nostalgia. You seen how they worshiped Battle City?
