evilfusion Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Just watched the episode. Pretty much all I can say is: WTF? As far as the duel, I dont think the writers were even TRYING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] This^ Steps: -Randomly drop a 5000 ATK monster out of nowhere to impress the viewer. -Self destruct all your backrow (which was previously all your hand) so that the main character has a chance to win with tipical meh anime strategies that take a lot of advantage. -Burn -Main character wins. By the way, we now know why were there 6 Duels programed when only 5 pieces were needed. Duel wasn't involved with the Carnaval at all.

If it's some other language that uses a similar word, odds are that it also means Middle School. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah, nuking 5 S/Ts was stupid as hell, even for that strategy. Especially since the card indicates you only need 1. So either Anna ran nothing but crap cards, or the writers didnt actually want to do any thinking for that duel. It was just lazy, and the whole episode didn't make much sense.

Dementuo Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Domeone needs to sub 29. I just caught up on my ZeXaL. As much as I like guitars, Yuma pulling that Xyz out of nowhere was bullsh*t. Oh, and I assume Anna is the one who brought us extremely-long-named-gustaph-dreadnaught-something-omega-delta-alpha-cannon-beta-something-else-greek-max?

evilfusion Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I haven't liked any of the episodes in this season yet. Episode 26 had horrible animation. Episode 27 was meh. Episode 28 was stupid. This episode was WTFy in a bad way and genuinely didnt further the plot due to Anna not even being in the tournament.

Duel against the soccer guy: 3rd turn did it. Duel against Shobee or whatever: 3rd turn ended by F*CKING KURIBOLT. Duel against Anna: 3rd turn ended it. Again.

Blake Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 People chewed me out for starting my fic with an OTK- AGAINST the main character. On turn 3 or 4. I'm... glad to see ZeXal did it worse than that? ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On turn 3 or 4. I'm... glad to see ZeXal did it worse than that? ._. [/quote] In a fic, I can see that as a bad thing. OTKing the protagonist in the beginning of a story is essentially announcing "I'm going to make a point of having my protagonist lose early on so he/she isn't accused of being an undefeatable Mary Sue". It doesn't do anything to enhance the appeal of a story. In an RP, on the other hand, letting the antagonist win early on is often a good thing (then again, I usually like that angle in RPs). These last episodes are just dumb, though. Fortunately, after next week, we might see some GOOD episodes coming back instead of just "Yuma vs random theme duelist".

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 ZEXAL looked promising in the teen episodes, with Shark showing that he actually can be a complex character, while Kaito is equal parts badass and epic. Then, we had the awesomeness of Super Saint Seiya Yumastral, which I think has sort of jumped the Shark. (No pun intended) Now, we have a series of useless filler episodes, culminating in this depravity, a duel against a girl who has incredibly silly TRAIN cards, who is only trying to kill Yuma because SHE HAS MISTAKEN HIM FOR SOMEONE ELSE!!! I really hope Charlie McCoy is pretty awesome, because this last episode has got me starting to side with the haters again. And I have SO many questions pertaining to Anna alone, the foremost being WHERE IN Z-ONE'S NAME DID SHE GET A CANNON?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 My summary of the series thus far: Episode 1-2: Over the top, but interesting and has potential. Episode 3-9: Getting used to show. Still has potential. Episode 10: EPIC Episode 13-14: KAITO! *squee* Episode 15-18: Getting more epic Episode 20-24 (21 doesn't count): Best episodes ever. 25: Arc transition. Gets a free pass. 26-29, and I'm betting 30 (Veggie duel?): Why does this show suddenly suck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Wrong. His name is SaintSaiyanman, as he's a mix of SS Megaman, Saint Seiya, and Super Saiyans. The train cards weren't half bad, really, in the end ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilfusion Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I spent way too much time in this episode (the whole pre-opening) wondering if I was actually still watching Yu-Gi-Oh, mixed with "Why the ** is this girl chasing Yuma with some sort of flying cannon?"

Blake Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Seriously, the train cards WERE NOT BAD. They have a hilarious Megamorph + Piercing A so-so reborn thing that was meh Rocket Arrow AKA PLEASE USE ME WITH HAD AND NEPTUNE Snow Plow is a wall out of nowhere that could be used in some places Gustaph is an OTK thingy, though not as good as Fenix.

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Also, it annoys me that Shark turned out to have been set up to look like he was cheating by an androgynous jerk, who is the middle brother of a trio of androgynous jerks led by the cosmic offspring of Pegasus and Lazar, that want to steal Numbers as well.

Sleepy Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Even with drawbacks. For the anime universe, I find it horrible how even trains and cards based on TV shows have more ATK than the Egyptian Gods and other "Sacred" cards during their respective times >.>" but that aside. Responding to some comment I read in here a few hours ago about why Yuma should/shouldn't naturally have new Xyz monsters: Granted that, Booster Packs exist inside the Yugioh universe (atem pulled Lightforce Sword from a pack in front of our eyes. Joey and Doug made Decks from randoml packs back then, etc), we still have Yuma's comment about wishing he had Xyz monsters himself. Back in episode 1 of Zexal, Yuma already had about 50 recent lost Duels, against the same person (let alone other opponents). Also, we got flashbacks from him as a kid already playing. Where I'm going with this, is that if after years and years of playing the game, Yuma hadn't gotten any Xyz monsters by episode 1, we should assume Xyz monsters are rare enough to concider Xyz owners either rich or lucky. Then why should Yuma pull random Xyz's out of nowhere just because he is in a tournament now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Fascist Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I can't wait to see how 4kids will censor Anna flying on a cannon while shooting it at Yuma around the entire damn city. You watch it'll change into: A) A super soaker B )The new replacement for the Shadow Realm/Netherworld C) They'll remove it entirely and Anna will be able to defy the laws of gravity But anyway, I havn't really been keeping up, When's the Manga released in the US or UK, I wanna read it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
