evilfusion Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I felt it was unneeded and didn't add any epicness to the scene and just looked weird. Lifestream splitting into 8 golden rings for the Synchro, on the other hand, that looked cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel Girl Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 It was unneeded, but I thought it was absolutely awesome. And LSD turn to Gold Rings, much better than if he had turned into green as all Tuner does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Maybe it was because Yusei turned to gold that I liked the golden Tuner Rings. It tied in well. I just didnt care much for Yusei turning to gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalltear Bloodfallen Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 [quote name='evilfusion' timestamp='1299101460' post='5046458'] I'm officially under the impression that SQD's Summon is being overhyped. Maybe I need to see it again or something, but I felt a LOT more summons were better than its. Then again, I still adore Machinecle's first Summon. [/quote] I think I´ll have to agree with you on that. I do not hate SQD´s Summon, in fact, I was almost just as amazed as when SSD was first summoned. My only issue is that it feels like they went WAY over the top, grabbing a lot of visual details right and left to unbelievably hype the summoning. Things like Yusei turning into gold is in fact my prime example in this case. It makes little to no sense and only serves to hype the summoning to what they almost seem to bash into our heads, will be the card that solves all. Summonings like, as an example, Cubic´s very first, where rather simple, having Cubic kind of materialize with 3D effects and activate, all while backed up by an omnious soundtrack that realy made him feel unstoppable. Plus, if I remember correctly, the fact that Cubic, even Aporia, existed where kept secret rather well and therefore helped build the hype around Cubic being "the ultimate Machine Emperor", that the duel would now get serious.

[/quote] Plus Aporia has Placido's voice actor, but with a more menacing, powerful tone. There was something about the way he speaks in that episode that thrills me.

evilfusion Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 It's worth bringing up that I do NOT like the idea of Delta+ Accel Synchros. Shooting Quasar may be a Delta Accel in it requires 3 Synchros, but Yusei summoned it with 5, all of the Materials being Signer Dragons, with an effect that seems pulled out of nowhere and definitely does not exist on the RL Life Stream Dragon. Granted, I knew it'd be like that, the severe level lowering. I think they should have stopped at Accel Synchroing, and Delta Accel was introduced suddenly. Also, the fact Yusei was point out told "Hey, you can still get a Delta Accel despite knowing nothing about it" ticked me off. The series is almost over and they suddenly added another, similar mechanic for Yusei to asspull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloister Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Most epic Summon ever: First time we got to see Cyber End Dragon in GX. And why did he turn gold? Just weird.

evilfusion Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Cyber End Dragon is epic. Made better by the fact Jaden/Judai proceeded to lose. And yes, I've repeatdly noticed that similarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accel Synchro was a nice add since it is the way Team 5D´s was meant to take to fight back against the Machine Emperors. Before Accel Synchro was introduced, they had no effective way to counter the Machine Emperors and basicaly where getting pummeled by The Infinity Trio. Plus, Accel Synchro could easily (and kind of did) take the role as the new thing for the new season of 5D´s and allways provide very nice summonings (though most of the effect they used to have has probably faded for a lot of us right now) Delta Accel, I have kind of mixed feelings about since I do like the idea of Accel Synchro kind of being "the first step" and Delta Accel releases the full power, but it came out of nowhere and Konami has been realy obvious with the fact that its main purpose seems to be just giving Yusei ANOTHER uppgraded SDD that will deffinetely help him defeat ZONE. Whatever they called the summoning he did in episode 150 is just so over the top, so situational, out of absolutely nowehere and so ridiculusley hyped that I suspect Konami wrote themselves into a corner and could not for the love of god figure out how they would introduce SQD and Yusei´s Delta Accel with so few episodes left.

Lexadin Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yes, as people (beside Super Sayans) don't ussually turn gold. And Rex already was the SSJ in 5D's. So Yusei shouldn't try to take that away from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilfusion Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 ...you're so right. That song is beautiful. Same as Believe in Nexus and Road to Tomorrow (although I prefer the Believe in Nexus visuals to the music itself. Probably because I think some of the best parts of the song happen to coincide with Placido, Jose, and Lucciano's "scenes" in the opening).

Cloister Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Is the song called "Road to tomorrow" or "Going my way"? Don't really like "Believe in Nexus". *gets shot, but don't care* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
