Astro Dude Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Come on, besides, it's hinted that Kotori klikes Yuma and wants to be more than friends, wait a minute! How old are Yuma and Kotori anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 They're like 13 or 14, I think. Shark is like...15, and Kaito is 18, if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faytl Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Considering that Kotori's most uttered phrase is Yuma's name and she usually says it about a dozen times each episode, whatever gave you that idea? :V What does that have to do with Tetsuo and Rio, anyway?

Βyakuya Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Filial Relationships > Affection ...is what I see to be more developed and supported in Zexal. Kotori's relationship is like Ichigo's and Orihime's, only she's not really annoying at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 only she's not really annoying at all. To Yuma or to us? I find her to be an utterly useless character who is such a blatant cheerleader like half of all Yu-Gi-Oh female side characters. They exist to witness Duels and say the protagonist's name frequently with a worried expression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But practically she's a trite character that seems to be significant but really isn't. And what you said summarizes my thoughts of Kotori. Alexis, Aki, and even Tea were better women protagonists.

Faytl Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 At least Tea dueled somewhat competently in the Virtual World arc. Kotori only ended up dueling because they wanted some of Yuma's friends to be brainwashed. Speaking of which, I wonder what would have happened if they had tried that on Shark or Rio instead, considering they were Barians... I mean, Vector appeared to be brainwashed when he was pretending to be Rei (and I just found out that Rei's English name is Ray Shadows, how very subtle), but was the brainwashing actually working or was he faking? Would have raised a lot of awkward questions if it didn't work. Shark: Did you just thrust a glowing card at me? Gilag: What? Uh.... Oh crap, this like, never hppens, man... Shark: Hey! That's Rank-Up Magic Barian's Force! Gilag: Yeaaaaaah... how are you not a mind puppet now? Shark: Curbstomp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Rank-Up Magic Barian's Force! Gilag: Yeaaaaaah... how are you not a mind puppet now? Shark: Curbstomp! Vector's the only example of a Barian character who got brainwashed, and with the depth of his masquerade, he might have been faking. (Yeah...that dub name has no subtlety. A clearly "dark" name rarely is subtle.) I find it just as likely that the Barians cannot brainwash Number holders. The only inconsistency with that thought is that Alit successfully brainwashed Gauche immediately after giving him Number 54, but again...he GAVE him Number 54. The entire point of them doing the brainwashing in the first place was because they cannot use Rank-Up Magic or their Over-Hundred Numbers outside of the Barian's Sphere Field, and those cards are necessary to claim Numbers (CXyz because they're Barian weapons that evidently can also kill Barians if played against them, and Over-Hundreds due to being Barian Numbers).

Northern Sage Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Number C15 is called "Gimmick Puppet Serial Killer". I can hear 4kids crying. Also, Roku and Kaze joins the ranks against Girag? Great. Now, all we need is for Charlie McCoy to reappear… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilfusion Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Nice episode. I noticed Tron in the opening, which doesn't really surprise me, since ever since III/IV/V reappeared, he was referenced multiple times. C15 is creepy. It's got a gatling gun in its MOUTH. *shudder* I also noticed IV's original crest appeared when he Ranked-Up Giant Killer. And judging by his slight straining, using Argent Chaos Force will have the same risks and strain that Barian's Force has on Over-Hundred Number users (Alit and Gilag in particular showed this previously). It is literally impossible to take it seriously when the card IV plays is "Gimmick Puppet Humpty Dumpty". It sounds so absurdly ridiculous..

It sounds so absurdly ridiculous.. I think it's funny and I like it, and given that Gimmick Puppet Egg Head is a thing, I wasn't surprised by it. I think given that we're seeing all the previously shown characters in the OP and ED, the ZeXal anime might be on its last legs. I'm aware they still have more Numbers to reveal, but it's just a speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I think it's funny and I like it, and given that Gimmick Puppet Egg Head is a thing, I wasn't surprised by it. Perhaps, but the Japanese version called it "Bomb Egg". Humpty Dumpty is just hilariously out-of-nowhere and inherently funny to hear. The Gimmick Puppets in the anime were named: - Baby Face - Scarecrow - Giant Killer - Bomb Egg - Necro Doll - Heavens' Strings - Magne Doll - Gear Changer - Night Joker - Scissor Arms - Nightmare - Destiny Leo - Humpty Dumpty.

~British Soul~ Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I have to admit, Number 103: Laguna Zero, the Sub-Zero Funeral Maiden is gotta be the best name for the over-100 Numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faytl Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I just realized, the preview for the next episode shows Shark back in his human form. Wonder why he Bariaphosed back? Other than that, AWESOME episode, and I'm surprised Anna and Fuya managed to actually put Misael on the ropes a bit. Probably just to make contrast for when he kicks their asses next episode, but still. Number 101 is AMAZING, and I can't wait to see what 103 does. Bit disapointed the Merag/Tetsuo duel didn't get a bit more focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faytl Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Wouldn't surprise me. I mean, Nasch/Shark (I'm still not sure what to call him now...) still has about 4 cards in his hand right now, so he probably could pull off reviving Ark Knight, but that would make this card as deadly as the end of that episode hyped it up to be. If that's true, of course, that would mean that Anna and Fuya actually managed to DESTROY Tachyon Dragon. If that ends up being what this card does, kudos to them.
