Normally I would have said it'd go back to normal when VRAIN starts but I haven't seen even half the hype for VRAIN as Arc-V had before it aired.
>>
>>153876838
Because the only way that Yusaku can be cool is if he's he's an anti-hero, and YGO anti-heroes are awful.
>>
>>153876838
I don't remember there being that much hype for Arc-V during pre-release either. Action fields and the idea of picking up cards was contentious even back then. It was only really after the first episode aired that it started picking up steam. Over the top hypefags are obnoxious to see, anyway
>>
>>153876838
ARC-V didn't have any hype until it started airing. Pre-release people expected it to be shit from the start and then it ended up really enjoyable for a year, kinda enjoyable for a year, and THEN shit...but still entertaining in a trainwreck sort of way.
>>
>>153876940
Considering the current bar, all Yusaku as a Yugioh MC has to do for an acceptable minimum is not be too intrusive when the rest of the cast are doing something.
>>
>>153873497
Have you all come to terms with the fact that the Arc-V manga will be rushed to its conclusion because it no longer advertises the game Konami is selling?

There was literally no Arc-V hype before it aired.

Oh wait, the manga. Maybe it'll get a longer run this time

And make use of its time unlike the anime
>>
>>153878138
It can't have a longer run, because the rules have been changed. It's one thing if the manga is advertising Pendulum, an outdated mechanic, but now it would have to display that mechanic as it no longer functions. The manga will be killed. It might finish by the end of the year.
>>
>>153878090
I'd say it was good for around 100 of its eps in total. That's not necessarily "wasting most of them"
>>
>>153877682
No. No,no,no, NO. Don't even joke about that, anon. I'm still angry about the GX manga getting shitcanned because of Zexal's boring ass manga.
>>
>>153878186
You'd be one of very few people to say that.
>>
>>153878184
What if they insert a quick hamfisted change by the antagonist group using G.O.D. to meddle with reality, which also inexplicably changes the rules so the manga can get on with it? It'd be a waste to kill off a young series that's already built some momentum and then pour in the effort to build up another one
>>
>>153878333
That would be portraying the rule change as a negative thing, thereby making it unattractive to the shekel givers.

>>153878466
If they cared about the fidelity of how their card game is depicted in their advertising media, they would have kicked Hikokubo onto the street already

Is this some Magic Hearthstone bullshit

Not I. Ono guarantees a year and change worth of fun before he stops giving a shit and rams the show into the ground. That's all I can really ask from a card game shill show.
>>
>>153878935
In many ways that's worse, since he builds up your expectations only to crush them by suddenly not giving a shit. Perhaps he just needs Ritalin
>>
>>153878976
What he needs is a different job.

NAS also needs to get its head out of the ass of the early 2000s and stop stretching shows out to 3 years. 2 years at most would be nice.

I just watched the last episode and i gotta say it could very well be the worst duel in all of ARC-V.
>Action cards spam
>Gongenzaka somehow on the same level as Yuya
>New cards out of nowhere
>Yoko saying stupid shit
>All the shit with Reira
Why the fuck does Yuya needs to battle the rest of the Lancers? And why does it seem like all of them are waiting for him? I mean, why would they fight him, that doesn't acomplish anything at all. Also, are all the Ruris babies now? And where the fuck are the rest of the Yus. And what was that with Reiji telling Yuya he needs to fight someone else in Standard? Is he talking about himself? Seriously it feels like Yuzu will be the last duel or something.
>>
>>153879608
The last duel is confirmed to be Reiji. Yuzu's last duel will have been being BTFO by Sergey.
>>
>>153879608
What I also don't get is why Reiji needed to go through the trouble of constructing dimensional corridor machines when he already has dimension moving tech that can put into duel disks
>>

Is it 100% confirm? Feels weird but i hope oits true cause FUCK YUZU

I'd say the biggest fault for GX was the writer, and while the direction faltered plenty of times, I'd say the director was the least of GX's problems. Although on the subject of writers and directors, I really wouldn't mind if Kuwabara came back for Vrains. The aesthetic direction in Zexal was some of the most solid in yugioh.
>>
>>153880084
yes
>>
>>153880198
>The aesthetic direction in Zexal was some of the most solid in yugioh
People will disagree with you, but I think it did carry its own style further than (most) the other spin-offs even if that style wasn't my favorite. The animation being more consistent also led to some scenes that match up to the height of the moment and are satisfying to watch.
>>
>>153880198
The director oversees everything. If there are writing problems they are on him to fix. Ono has shit up characters in 5Ds, GX and Arc-V. The common denominator is him. It makes zero sense to blame writing on 3 different shows with multiple different writers when we have a single common issue.
>>
>>153878669
ono or not i want links crashing :v
>>
>>153880342
The life-point display, the overlay look for both normal xyz and chaos xyz, the Ar field that starts every duel, it all felt very polished and very exciting. Part of that was (I think) because zexal had the most consistently good animation quality of any yugioh series, but the direction was spot on. And apart from Yuma being an unlikable sack of shit for the first half, and the fact that the female characters were basically irrelevant (which is more a writer thing, although as >>153880352 mentioned, the director does hold some responsibility as well), Zexal was an overall very solid series.

>>153880352
>Ono has shit up characters in 5Ds, GX and Arc-V
His direction does often comes across as lackluster. I'm saying the offensively terrible shit comes from somewhere else, and as the director he doesn't put his foot down on it. Although I can't say I've seen into the creation process enough to make a definitive statement one way or the other about how much is his fault and how much comes from elsewhere. You're right about the trend, definitely.

People have styles and trends in their works. Directors and writers are known for doing things a certain way. For example. Urobuchi is known as a butcher because his works usually have a bunch of death. Tomino is nicknamed Kill 'em All because of all the deaths in his works. He's also known for having trippy writing for his characters. Some people say they're realistic, others say they are nothing like real people. Sakamoto who does a ton of tokusatsu series is known for heavy fanservice. Inoue, another toku vet is known for tons of romance and love triangles. Fukuda is known for style over substance. He famously said he doesn't care to explain how things happen. He only cares about the result which shows a ton in his works. He's also a whiny bitch. Ono is known for shitting on characters. He's famous in the Japanese fandom for not being able to develop and handle characters.

I remember the early optimism in Arc-v that the female characters would actually be somewhat relevant. And yet here we are. Depending on how you count it, Rio has almost as much episodes of dueling as Yuzu got (7 to 9, discounting mobs and interrupted duels).
>>
>>153882123
Rio actually had a good climatic duel which upped another villain and solidified Shark and Vector's rivalry. It made Shark vs Vector so much more personal.

It's a contact fusion basically. You tribute monsters on your field and summon a link monster from the extra deck. There will probably be spell cards that allow you to use cards from your hand in place of summoned monsters. Though at the moment the best option would be running some form of token swarming card that lets you generate tons of trash to avoid hard minuses.

Link Monsters are needed to summon more than 1 extra deck monster at a time due to the new rule changes that are being implemented. XYZ, Synchro, Fusion and Pendulum are all taking a huge hit because of this new limitation.

It's actually about 10 now since once Links hit their stride you'll need at least 5 of those fuckers to stay in the game if your deck focuses on pendulum,xyz,synchro and fusion summons. Good luck picking what stays and what goes, as if it wasn't crowded enough already in there

>Q. When using cards such as Mask Change, Ultimaya Tzolkin or Bahamut Shark to special summon Fusion, Synchro or Xyz monsters from the Extra Deck (Which do not legally summon them), can you special summon them to a Main Monster Zone? (In the situation that there are no Link Markers pointing to those Zones.)

>A. In this scenario, you may not special summon the relative monsters to the Main Monster Zone.

>Additional note: This would also apply to Starlight Road, Cyber-Stein and other similar cards.

>Q. If my Extra Monster Zone is empty and there are no Link Markers (pointing to Zones) on my field, and I have a Number 39: Utopia on my Main Monster Zone. If I were to overlay Number S39: Utopia the Lightning over it, must I summon it to my Extra Monster Zone?

>A. In this scenario, your Number S39: Utopia the Lightning must be Xyz summoned to your Extra Monster Zone.

>That last one

So, if you have an XYZ monster in a Main Monster Zone that isn't a Linked zone and you want to Rank it up, you are forced to shift your monster to either the Extra Monster zone or a Linked Main Monster zone. If none of these zones are available you can't rank your monster up at all (and if you Rank up into the Extra Deck zone you lock yourself out of summoning any other Extra Deck monsters with methods other than RUM including Link monsters without that monster you just went to a great deal of effort to summon being destroyed first).

Fucking brutal. Also it looks like there's absolutely no way to get around the new rules using spell, trap or monster effects, even ones that don't technically 'summon' the monster from the extra deck.

Basically, if it comes from the Extra Deck, it must go in the Extra Deck zone or a Linked zone.

BUY LINKS indeed.
>>
>>153894453
how did you get Xyz monsters into non linked main monster zones anyway?
>>
>>153894194
OY VEY POOR GOY, DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU COULD PLAY WITHOUT BUYING LINKS?
>>
>>153894194
Nice, Norden is now just a Link 2 enabler.
>>
>>153894500
I'm pretty sure you can special summon them to the main monster zone via graveyard.
>>
>>153894500
You summoned them when you had a Link monster out, when that monster dies any monsters in Linked zones stay where they are.

So say you were to then summon any other Extra Deck monster and it went into the Extra Monster zone (except another Link monster that links some of your Main Monster zones), you would then be unable to Rank Up or otherwise replace your Main zone extra deck monster at all because all valid zones are still occupied.
>>
>>153894500
>>153894573
Or you summoned them from the graveyard using a spell, trap or monster effect (the only way to get an XYZ, Fusion or Synchro monster into your Main zones without a Link monster).
>>
>>153894568
>>153894607
you have to properly summon them first right? because you can't use zaborg's effect to dump and then bring them back, fucking konami
>>
>>153894662
I genuinely don't know. I don't remember it being specified that the monsters must be summoned to the field first. Might be wrong though, stuff is always a little hazy when it comes to new rules in card games.
>>
>>153894194
The first one sucks, but the second one was obvious even from what we knew before.

You're Xyz Summoning an Xyz Monster from the Extra Deck, why would it go to the Main Monster Zone?
>>
>>153894796
>new rules

Nigga, needing to properly summon an ED monster is an ancient rule.
>>
>>153894516
norden can still make things other than link, you just have to use him as material which most people already do.
>>
>>153894834
I see. You're right. I forgot that part, it was never an issue until now really since Extra Deck summoning was so easy before Link monsters so I never had to remember that part.
>>
>>153894662
Right.

Cards like Instant Fusion are going to become popular as ways to quickly dump Extra Deck monsters into your graveyard so you can bring them back into the main field when Links come along.

That's what I'm predicting.

Instant Fusion doesn't summon many good monsters. It was used to extend plays with Norden but that doesn't really work anymore with the new rules.
>>
>>153895636
That's why I said cards 'like' Instant Fusion anon.

Basically anything that summons an extra deck monster then almost immediately destroys it will help make a deck that relies on the extra deck more consistent and faster with the new rules in place.
>>
>>153895790
It has to properly summon them and fit into the deck too. People aren't going to splash random shit just to keep their old decks that'll be outdated by Code of Duelist crap.

The crazy part is this card might actually see play since it could let you actually flood the board more.

>Summon Link monster
>Summon Extra Deck monsters in all linked zones (2)
>Use Senet Switch to move one monster into a non-linked zone
>Summon third Extra Deck monster into now free linked zone

I could actually see this card being in a competitive deck with these new rules. Maybe not a top tier deck, but I think it will see some competitive play because of this rule change. Being able to get that one extra XYZ, Fusion or Synchro per turn would be quite valuable to some archetypes.

Uh, ok?
>>
>>153896376
Not every card needs to make you plus in order to be a playable card. Many cards currently seeing play do not make you plus, in fact some of them actually minus you but have an effect that is worth the cost.

The question is, is the effect of "You can summon an extra XYZ, Fusion or Synchro monster every turn" going to be worth not going plus in whatever the new meta ends up being.

We've never played this game in a meta of limited resources in the same way that it will exist once Links have come out and the rule changes are in full effect. Extra Deck summons per turn is now a resource and the meta will have to adapt to that.
>>
CAN WE JUST ENDS ARC-V ALREADY
FUCK
>>
>>153896517
There are only two scenarios here post-Link. The top deck(s) will either be extra spam with Links, or more likely, decks that don't usually use the extra for more than one monster at a time. There are some very good decks that fit in the latter category - True King, Infernoid, and Dinosaurs being the main three I can think of. If extra spam proves worse than these decks, players just won't use extra spam. It's that simple. The cancer isn't going to go away just because of this, nor will the game "slow down" for anyone whom it concerns.

I really dont know what the fuck hes even going to do in the Dennis duel. The Shun duel is overdue since like 100 episodes.

Dennis is playing the villain so Yuya can defeat him in front of everyone in Xyz and look like a hero. That's it.
>>
>>153900799
Black arc in DBS probably angered me more than current ARC-V with how it was resolved. Current ARC-V is terrible but not unexpectedly so and thus it doesn't ruin any expectations.

Rushing something would likely result in an unexpectedly shit turn like the former case, so nah. I'm alright with waiting 5 weeks for Vrains as long as it isn't rushed in that manner.

>>153901715
Yeah but with Dennis there should be this huge rift between him and Yuya. He kinda offed himself as retribution, sure, but he was still a traitor misusing Papa Egaos teachings. Hes responsible for a lot of shit and I dont remember Yuya ever reflecting on this.

This is a conflict that can just be handled in a matter of 1 or 2 episodes. Maybe if Yuya had actually duelled Dennis back then instead of having Kaito defeat him. Then we would have proper setup but like this, I dont know how they could ever make anything decent out of it.
>>
>>153901738
That would imply that action cards weren't being used frequently before people had a chance to start hating them. It's more likely that audience reactions aren't being taken into account at all or that action card hate doesn't really show up that much in whatever data they use to judge those reactions.

I do. Nothing pisses me off more than when a character goes for an action card, fails, and then uses a card they already had instead. It's stupid.

>>153901890
It should have been handled way sooner rather than having Dennis deal with "BUY CIPHERS" and committing suicide that ended up being pointless.
>>
>>153901890
I guess this pretty much shows that the staff intensionally avoided Yuya interacting with other characters, maybe due to laziness.
>>
>>153902383
You know the staff is fucked up, when they don't even give the MC interactions with his girl or rival.
>>
>>153902383
This is very likely the case. You can tell that they gradually lost interest in the main characters based on the incredible difference in how Reira's character development and the Yuya/Reiji interaction stuff was handled in ep 67 alone compared to the kind of shit that came almost immediately after. It's like night and day.
>>
>>153902459
Yuya had plenty of interactions with his friendly rival Crow though.

How did Ono become so bad? Fine, 5D's part 2 may have been a dick sucking fest, but the interactions weren't as bad as he is doing in Arc-V.
>>
>>153902706
Well he didn't do it alone, the head writer and duel writer both threw up their hands and stopped trying,too after standard. It's just everybody ran out of fucks to give about Arc-V at nearly the same time. Kinda like the Pokemon writers, they won't dare try to be as ambitious as they were in Kalos or Unova ever again.
>>
>>153902706
Seems like he just stopped giving a shit for some reason. Makes me kinda wonder if there was some sort of behind the scenes shit that made him say fuck it. Like, even in 5Ds part 2 with all its character ruining shit, it still had the characters interact regularly. So, it's very unusual honestly.

I'm still dreaming of a world where Konami makes a banlist with sense and new rules slow down a game so that I can play what I want.

The duel writer doesn't count. He hasn't produced good duels with any regularity since 5D's. I will never forgive the kind of boring protect the castle bullshit ZEXAL's duels forced me to sit through. Even when the character writing for ZEXAL and ARC-V was at its peak, the audience was still regularly forced to sit through Hikokubo's half-assed accompaniment. The guy honestly just needs to be replaced by someone who actually gives a shit.

There almost certainly was some bullshit going on behind the scenes. If it wasn't a single huge event throwing everything off like the sex cult (we would probably have heard of that), it was probably a long chain of unfavourable circumstances and shitty decisions that came together to eventually fuck up any plans that had been prepared so royally that everyone just gave up on fixing them.

I suspect whatever happened came to a head around the end of synchro. With all the foreshadowing of the city getting fucked up in 88 and the foreshadowing of academia's invasion going full force around then and the riots immediately after and especially Roger's machine just not ruining the city like it was said to do five seconds earlier, it sounds like that was the last straw for whatever was initially planned to happen since the following eps would've been already under production by that point which would explain why the show doesn't provide any other notable lowered quality in writing up through 104 before it immediately nosedives.

All I want in a protagonist is a rookie duelist who starts out shit and becomes better than all the other protags without any superpower BS. And also a normal haircut. Is that too much to ask?
>>
>>153904974
>Without any superpower BS
Yeah. That's never happening. Superpower BS is how they most effectively shill new cards. It's a draw inherent to the show's function.

Wait, Asuka is showing up in this show? Am a nostalgiafag so might watch just for that.
>>
>>153905021
Asuka showed up awhile ago and then got BM'd by Yuri using ancient gears. Actually, that combined with the BB eps is what put this show on the nip audience's shitlist initially.

Just got up to episode 135 (still sticking to monosubs), and I can see why opinion has soured so much. Ruris were killed in the most offhanded way possible to create some literally who, and Yuya had months of fighting back Zarc, only to break in the end in the most ass-pullish way possible. Yuya still hasn't moved on from 'muh otousan' he's been stuck on since episode 1, and any development towards his own motivation and dueling style (all of xyz, most of synchro) was completely flushed. Leo is a completely pathetic end boss. And the innitial character relationships the show was built on have all been irrelevant since synchro (Yuzus & Ruris having next to no interaction is especially frustrating).

Rather than providing a foundation for the second half, the first half feels like it was a completely different series (which, come to think of it, was a problem in both 5ds -first and second halves- and symhogear -g and gx-).

Shun vs Yuya, a clash of ideals,rage and sorrow, had we had writers who give a shit, this would be a very emotional duel between two who started as enemies, became friends then enemies again, here, it's just imouto man screeching again while Yuya pretends to give a damn about him before humiliating him with some bullshit silly gimmick.
>>
>>153910815
Rei had a gimmick that made her memorable. There was nothing to Asuka's character that made her stand out as anything other than the responsible friend character, a role that was already filled out by Kaiser and Edo on separate occasions and even then they barely did anything with her (hell, the fact that she wanted Judai's dick wasn't even special since just about everyone in the show wanted Judai's dick). Honestly, she should've been phased out instead of Misawa.

It was posted 2 threads ago along with a script

Yuya and Reji have been missing for a month since Adam and Eve threw down the gauntlet for who gets to have G.O.D. Shun and Sawatari have been searching ever since then, They meet up with Yuzu by chance, who has been searching for Yuya because without Yuya, she doesn't get screen time. Anyway, Shun and Sawatari eventually break into LDS headquarters and through Sawatari stealing Sora's shit, makes the computer reveal that Reji was last seen in a car heading towards the outskirts of the city. Yuzu meanwhile finds Yuya practicing his D-Wheel skills in the swearers.

Yuto,Yugo and Yuri may be starting to fade away, Eva and Adam are horribly scarred under their masks and need G.O.D to stay alive and fulfill some sort of task. More on that, next month. Doesn't matter anyway, the manga is going to be ending by this year because of the new rules.

I bet almost everyone here likes pre-Synchro Arc-V, and most people tolerate most of the Synchro arc itself. But the last two arcs have been so disappointingly bad, they retroactively shat on the first good parts of Arc-V.

The saddest things is however is responsible rather the writer or director would literally take great pains to make viewers believe that they are trying but really they dug themselves a hole too many times. Either it's all out of laziness, favoritism to 5D's or just they don't care.

Yuma's brokenness is overstated. He recontract universes once, and it changes a barian rank up spell to a non-barian rank up spell. There's also his Zexal weapons.

MtG is considered an incredibly niche and unpopular card game in Japan, to the point where having a commander deck is a mark of a crazy otaku.

Wizards kicks themselves every single day that they let their "in" to the Japanese market slip by.
>>
>>153922832
Honestly, with how many smashed clay pots he leaves behind and his tendency for home invasions, I'm surprised the bashing hasn't started sooner.

Links basically ruins any current deck that relies on extra deck spam, and most decks do. Hence links invalidate most people's current decks.
>>
>>153922955

Why?
>>
>>153922832
Konami is forcing players to use Link monsters by ruthlessly killing other extra deck reliant decks. Synchro and Pendulum especially.

Konami is also forcing a policey where you're only allowed to play on their new official mats, making every mat collected until now and fan created mats worthless on top of forcing shops to only carry these mats.

I say good on 'em for being pissed off instead of being like those retards over on /dng/ who swear that links are going to slow down the game and make things more fair.

Misawa is the best side character because he actually wanted to better himself, rather than just wait on the sidelines.
>>
>>153923050
Nobody in /dng/ actually thinks Links are going to do much slowing-down at anything but the casual level, and even then a lot of people thinks Links are going to jack and shit once Konami starts smelling money again.

>>153923147
Kaz originally wanted to do a couple of chapters on MtG for the original manga. Kaiba was supposed to be an MtG champion and other stuff. When Kaz went and asked Wizards for the rights to run a couple of chapters with their game in it, they told him to fuck off. As a result, Kaz had to make his own game up to fill the chapters.

And that's how YuGiOh the card game got started. And now it's the best-selling card game in the world. And MtG STILL can't get a foothold in the Japanese CCG market.

Imagine a world where YGO didn't exist, and was instead MtG.

Why?
>>
>>153923295
Worst part is Kaz apparently wanted it to be more of battles and stuff, with each villain in the original Yugioh using a different game.

Then Duel Monsters became so popular that story changed to focus on that and then each character got its own style and deck and everything got more diverse

Not him, but yugioh is a tcg very distinct from Wizard's usual model mechanically. I think tcgs as a whole might be a whole lot less mechanically diverse without yugioh showing it is viable. Extra decks, no specific resource cards, and a non-rotating format, things like that.

I question if amazing games like wixoss would exist if not for yugioh.
>>
>>153923955

I'm pretty sure Wixoss (and other niche Japanese games like Z/X et al) would've existed with or without Yugioh, I would be curious who would actually be able to take over Yugioh as one of the "Big Three" card games internationally if it never existed since no one else has the scale of either WotC, Pokemon, or Konami

>>153925807
Well, no. All the characters with a modicum of screentime are very likable. Actually, that's the issue. They ARE LIKABLE but we never get to see them interact with each other aside exceedingly rare occasions where there isn't much time to develop their characters or relationships with one another due to whatever bullshit is going on in the episode, so we're perpetually blueballed to the point of frustration.

We can see what we want dangled RIGHT in front of us, but the issue is that it's been dangled there for 90 fucking episodes and hasn't gotten any closer since and there's no time to really savor it if it starts now.

If the characters weren't likable in the first place, there wouldn't be nearly as much to bitch about.

The fanservice was always good. The show itself wasn't for an exceedingly large portion of its run and even when it got good it wasn't consistently so partly thanks to pacing issues here and there and the show really not knowing what to do with a large portion of its cast or the filler being typically pretty bad.

More to the point, Zexal's strengths (and really YGO's strengths in general) come from meaningful conflicts either to the characters inherent to the ep or to the plot at large. This is why the friendship cup was so grueling in arc-v typically and this is also why the first half of zexal and the first half of zexal II can get tedious as fuck or outright intolerable. No one wants to see an Eita or a Tokunosuke duel where the characters are being just unlikable seedy pieces of shit for no discernible reason. Everyone wants to see something like Sora/Shun or IV/Nasch, or something like Sawatari/Yuya II, or Yuma/Gauche. That's where YGO is at its strongest. This is also why zexal cleans up nicely because it puts that sort of stuff more in focus the further it goes on.

>>153930721
Oh, be warned that while zexal improves, the duel writing is almost always the worst and most agonizingly repetitive in the entire franchise due to them intentionally dumbing it down for a younger audience. If that bugs you at all, you might be in for a rough time.
>>
>>153930497
It's not as bad as >>153930583 makes it out to be, but for the first 70ish episodes, the main character is pretty unlikable, and there's a good amount of pointless filler. The supporting cast (Shark, Kaito) are pretty great, and once you hit Zexal II, Yuma stops being offensively unlikable, which does wonders for its watchability. As impossible as it may have seemed at the start, I actually liked him as a character quite a lot by the end (a lot of credit goes to his VA, actually, Zexal has a very strong VA cast overall).

I think I found Yuma harder to stomach in zexal II oddly, but that might be partly because his duels in II are way more formulaic on average with about four in a row featuring double up chance combos as the finisher.

Of course, alternatively it might just be because by then I'd already been introduced to kaito, shark and the arclights and was cognizant of how great it could be at the show's height.

>>153931074
It's really damn weird, that's for sure. It's almost like a completely different game. That being said, once you accept the formula, you can come to appreciate how much it gets down to things. Most games come down to a clash of ace vs. ace, with traps and effects to add spice, and zexal gets right to that stage from the start of the duel. Comparing it to the actual tcg/ocg will just make your head hurt, and it the pinnacle of the series for bizarrely specific trap effects, but it has a strong sense of rhythm and a certain weird logic to it that redeems it somewhat.
>>
>>153931080

I agree that duels in II are more predictable (Rank Up Magic is probably the worst thing I've ever seen to "power up" monsters in the whole franchise because EVERYONE started using it) but I think in exchange they had the duels become more emotional. Also the animation got even better than it already was

That is undoubtedly the most accurate description of Zexal duels I've ever heard.
>>
>>153931582
Don Thousand may not be that good of a villain, but his broken power and over the topness of the duel made up for it. It's not like the duel itself was that good, at least it was a spectacle to watch. Certainly better than Leo or Zarc's duel in my opinion.
>>
>>153931582
ARC-V's duel writing wasn't good, but it felt more varied in playstyles featured, which did help keep it from getting as bad as zexal had it. But of course, it was greatly helped by the fact that it didn't consolidate the entire show around one summoning method. That's probably the thing that hurt zexal the most.

Speaking of Zarc, I'd still say his duel was more enjoyable than Don Thousand. At least his big dumb boss monster couldn't be instantly killed by a card FEATURED AS THE BOSS MONSTER OF SHARK'S FUCKING DECK and there was the everyone vs zarc gimmick that was neat (and should be tried again in the future), if really terrible in execution here.

Still shit, but not as insultingly so in my eyes. Granted, Zexal had Nasch/Yuma and Nasch/Vector on either side of it, so it easily had the far better development regarding the endgame as a whole regardless, but I digress.

You're out of your mind. That Zarc duel was terrible. Nothing about it was enjoyable. It was retard after retard entering a duel with half LP and getting 1 turn before getting blown out by Zarc bullshitting out new monsters. It wasn't even like Zarc was an enjoyable character himself. He was boring as hell and had shit motives. Arc-V having all summoning methods didn't help it and the Zarc duel shows why. All of the duelists against Zarc did the same thing regardless of their method. They summoned a boss monster and got raped. It's not like duelist from different dimensions played differently from each other. They even brought back Riding Duels but left out the part that made them different from standing duels.

Am I the only one whose hated all final bosses after Zorc? Darkness was stupid as fuck, he came out of nowhere with no foreshadowing at all. Z-ONE was garbage, he didn't even need to duel Yusei and he made that clear before the match, his plan was beyond stupid,too. blowing up a city isn't going to make the entire world stop using synchro monsters and the guy barely had a character of his own, he was a fanboy who liked Yusei a little too much, that's it.

Don Thousand was such a cheat it made me wonder why they bothered dueling the guy when they could of just turned it into a straight up fight and Zarc was an embarrassment from his design, to his motivations, it went from "Guy went insane from talking to pissed off monsters" to "guy who wanted revenge on the audience for making him fight brutal duels" to "He just wanted to kick Ray's ass"

I fully expect Vrains's final boss to be some be some outcast like Yusaku who invented Links to try and get back at people at this point.

Don is immediately more memorable for just one reason

Beating Mizael in 0 Turns

>>153932412
For some reason, that sounds better than what Arc-V did. And it's the same thing.

How would you guys rate each series relative to one another in terms of quality?
>>
>>153932422
Don T wasn't the final boss though. Nasch was. And that was great
>>
>>153932412
'Useful' in the worst way possible by sacrificing the 2 main characters of the show
>>
>>153932395
Fair enough, to each their own. I don't think the Don Thousand duel was good, I just like the spectacle of the duel. I certainly like it better than Smile Universe

If every other line wasn't
>"This the end! Yuma! Astral!"
or
>"Now die! Yuma! Astral!"

It would of been. holy shit. That being said, it was a better rival match than anything else in the franchise, including GX,5D's and Arc-V. I'm sure Vrains will disappoint in that department.
>>
>>153932422
Don Thousand is fine because he didn't act as the sole villain nor final Duel. There were Vector and Nasch for that.
He was quite fun, and fulfilled his role well.

>>153932494
That was beautiful.
>>
>>153932422
I actually like Z-ONE but that's only because his duel itself was really fucking fun every turn and conceptually he was actually good, albeit completely fucking wasted by that stupid fucking twist reveal.

Bakura was a lot of fun and definitely the best overarching villain, but I felt when shit got to the last parts of the Zorc arc (where Zorc's actually revived) he kinda lost steam since he lost some of the nuance that his personality displayed earlier in both Yami Bakura and Thief King Bakura's scenes. He's still better than any of the other misfits by a mile, but I wouldn't say he had my favorite climax of the bunch.

I agree with the rest entirely though.

>>153932494
Humiliating Mizael was pretty funny. That's at least one funny thing over whatever Zarc accomplished

What the fuck?

I hate Yuma but he's a better written protagonist than Judai,Yusei and Yuya ever wore, They never should of did that supreme king shit and turned Judai into a genocider, God damn that was unnecessary
>>
>>153932542
Zexal > DM >= GX > 5Ds > VRAINS > Arc-V
VRAINS is already at least better than Arc-V.
>>
>>153932765
I almost completely forgot about Leo. Alright, that's 1 for 1 in funny
>>
>>153932771
Judging by the anime alone, I'd honestly say 5Ds is stronger as a complete package.

DM has two really terrible filler arcs and the last arc is largely rushed garbage aside the ceremonial duel. On top of this, while Battle City is fucking amazing, Duelist Kingdom is just k i n d a solid the full way. It's a bit too formulaic for my preference.

I remember people saying this about Zexal, Don't you dare have hope. Wait and see if it's still good after 50 episodes.
>>
>>153932813
>VRAINS is already at least better than Arc-V.
Even if somehow it's worse right off the bat, it's still better because it's not b8ing anyone and tank NAS, which is what they would deserve

Dm > GX > Zexal > 5Ds > Arc-v
This rating is skewed as fuck, though. If I could cut all post-episode64 from 5ds, it would top, easily. The fact that I still haven't been able to work up any motivation to finish Arc-cradle leaves it stranded at the bottom. Likewise, Zexal would be above GX and maybe even DM if I didn't drop zexal maybe 24 episodes in, and only finished it years later.

The original manga still hols my #1 slot, though.
>>
>>153932542
5D's > DM > GX > Arc-V = Zexal.

5D's because the first arc was fucking great.
Arc-V is a disgrace, that doesn't mean it covered how shit Zexal was.
>>
>>153932941
This was a good thread, finally.
>>
>>153933041
If you put 5Ds there cause of a part of it, Arc-V deserves to be above it
>>
>>153933088
I mean sure Standard was great and all arguably mediocre at best, but the first part of 5D's easily shits on it.
