Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 On topic of duelists using cards on TV series, football and stuff. Look at it this way: Only so many duelists can use wizards, dragons and pathetic looking mechanical toys (there's one every series) without it getting tiresome. Not a big fan of decks like Kakeru's, especially since there's a ton of filler one after another but can't have everyone summoning raging 10ft beasts. Gogogo anime is really slow in getting this sub up. Dunno why I want to see it, maybe because the sooner I see ep 28, the sooner we'll get to interesting stuff involving Kaito, Shark, Tron, Numbers, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Is there a possibility that those new guys (Tron, V, and the rest of that party) have some other stuff in them other than Number-related cards? Those weird symbols in their hands caught my attention in the opening, but don't seem like Number marks at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEam Ragnarok (Look at their Hair and such) TEam New World (Left hand/forehead, right hand/forehead, center forehead) Tron is apparently based on Pegasus, seeing as the thing in their left eyes + cartoons There's probably some new power, but it's what lets them use Numbers freely, I assume.

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 It's going to be very difficult for Zexal to introduce any rival 'cards of power' to the Numbers, given their effect, number of them, and absolute central role to the story. Finally watched ep 28 of Zexal. Wasn't remotely worth the wait. Little tiny monster with minimal attack takes down huuge monster that has lots of Powwwerrrr!!! Yeah that's never been done. Who does Yuma think he is? Chazz? Looks like its going to be a run of 12 episodes before any new Numbers are revealed (I don't count Acid Golem and Lucky Stripe as new, since they were released as cards before appearance in anime). Come on guys, yes we want occasional breaks from the story but this is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manjoume Thunder Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 It was worse than the Football episode and just thinking that there will be at lest one more (VEGETABLE DEATH MATCH DUEL) makes me shudder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Pretty much episode 27, 28, 29 (maybe), and 30 are filler. The characters in them exist for Yuma to defeat. The episodes after that should be better, from the sounds of it, and Number 7 does exist, so the preview can't be entirely BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manjoume Thunder Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Well, Anna is - In the OP - Yuma's childhood friend - trying to kill him So 29 will be at least as important as Cathy's episode and Anna will probably join the crew. And since we are talking about new additions to Yuma's squad, when is Fuya coming back with a hopefully better deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 That's why 29 is only "maybe" filler. Then again, I thought episode 9 (Cathy's) was filler until she joined the main cast as a recurring character, and I'm still convinced episode 21 is the first "true" filler episode. A shame, really. They were doing so well with minimizing filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I have liked Zexal up until now, but knowing what's to come, I think should've skipped so much of this. It's really getting boring. Also, Yuma had already been improving throughout the first season and even though he is still an idiot, I think it's bad that he kinda returned to square one in skill for the sake of playing in these fillers. I'd like to see fillers with the rest of the main crew playing if they are going to be fillers. At least they could build up their Decks a little more.Cathy has only 2 monsters for now, and the fat guy has 3 (counting UFO Turtle). Yuma's new non-Number Xyz was a Deus Ex Machina with a boring image. It seriously looks like they didn't know what to do in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord200 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Takashi and Tetsuo vs IV, Number 25 and the chance Yuma using a Number that IS NOT Utopia, III, IV, IIV's Numbers, and Shark vs III, are all things we have to look foward to. We were not expecting Itchy Rythim, so they might pull something unexpected are show us how Kaito, Cathy, and or Tonnosuke are doing, Yuma might get another non Number Xyz. There is stll hope.

I have also said that Yuma seems too Astral-dependant in these episodes when in past episodes he has been shown to have improved somewhat, like against Rikuo and Kaio, he figured out what Armored Xyz could do without being told by either Astral or Shark, and even recalled his misplay in his rematch with Shark to do a better move. I have no huge issue with the soccer duel where Astral pointed out the combo because that was probably pretty obscure in Yuma's eyes. The random Xyz was stupid though. Cool effect, stupid application. I'm convinced they only did that so Yuma didn't pull out a Number on a guy who didn't have one. And the construction duel was just dumb. I'm not even going to watch it subbed because I honestly dont care what they were saying. The fact Yuma froze up when he could hear Astral saying "Use your Trap Card" when that's literally the ONLY thing he could possibly do in that situation just cemented the fact that Yuma has lost IQ points this season. And he was a moron before. I still like the show, but these episodes are painfully fillerish while pretending they're not. Just like the GX tournament, Yuma's opponents dont matter. And they'll probably do the same thing with GX in that Yuma wont even compete in the final duel, because he'll be doing something plot important instead. They already built that conclusion up by having Yuma say it didn't really matter to him if he won the tournament; it was more to improve himself (or something like that).

Ah well guess they can't all be. So then, Crashbug support for Galatic Overlord! XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I started wondering if they have actually just been trolling on purpose all these fillers... ._____." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 You guys probably all know what's going to happen already but looking at Yuma's matchups for next few episodes I'm going to make a blissfully ignorant prediction. [spoiler=Matt's predictions] Anna beats Yuma (Yuma goes from 3 Heart Pieces to 2) Yuma then beats the big chap (back to 3 pieces) Loses to Charlie (down to 2 pieces again) Challenges Charlie for Double or Nothing (only thing that makes sense if they're facing off twice and want an outcome other than back to where he started, plus it fits Charlies 'lucky gambler' role. (Up to 4 pieces) Beats Shuto (Up to 5 pieces and qualified for finals).[/spoiler] I'm probably horribly wrong but that's my logic if they want to make her a major character, and given the makeup of the schedule (seems a weird gap between Charlie and Shuto's duels though, but hell anything to break up the all-Yuma focused stuff). And no I don't want to know if I'm right or wrong, I want to watch these episodes in the hope something interesting might actually happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I think you need 6 pieces for the finals. I dont think he'll lose to Anna. I am oddly positive he'll lose to Number 7, unless it's just a two-part episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Reading the subs at the start of ep 28 (which you skipped I think you said) he said he needed 5 pieces, and when he one his third of engineer boy his heart thing looked 60% done. On the wiki it has Yuma's record. Charlie - ep 31 - TBC, Charlie - ep 32 - TBC. So two duels, but would be a bit pointless to lose a piece and win one back? Its more hope than expectation.

[/quote] The previews indicate Yuma will lose, because it says Charlie pulls off a One-Turn Kill strategy due to Number 7's luck. And it's very possible to OTK with anime rules and probability. If Charlie rolls a 1 and a 6, Number 7 will have 4200 ATK and can activate the effect to wipe the entire field but itself. And if Yuma goes first... My curiosity is more how Charlie pulls out 3 Level 7 monsters in a single move. Easy in the anime, but intriguing nonetheless. I thought with the heart pieces, there are 4 pieces in the outside, and 2 fragments in the center... But 6 makes the most sense with the previewed duels, unless Charlie doesn't win the first duel. Yuma vs Soccer (2 pieces) Yuma vs Construction (3 pieces) Yuma vs Anna (4 pieces) Yuma vs Veggie (5 pieces) Yuma vs Charlie (intended last piece, loses) Yuma vs Charlie (wins lost piece back) Yuma vs that...prediction person (6th piece) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Well, looking at the wikia card list, I'm not seeing any way Yuma was gonna win ._. His cards are situational and none of them are game winning. And he needs to get 5 total, so I assume Anna won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
