IV mentioned that character to Shark. Unless he was just screwing with Shark (which seems likely), he probably doesn't know. But Tron is very likely to be a male anyway. A lot of males in Yugioh tend to sound/appear effeminate in the Japanese version (Rally is the crowning example of a male who really, really needs to stop crossdressing).

Tron seems to place most trust in V, rather than IV. It wouldn't surprise me if Tron kept IV in the dark...

Obviously V would be the most trusted. IV receives such focus due to his prior conflict with Shark, but despite that you have to remember he's essentially bottom of the ladder. First off, they're all in a group headed by Tron so they all answer to him, and within the brothers, V is the oldest, so he'd be a sort of sub-leader due to being the most mature and responsible. III is obviously at the bottom with IV as well, due to his young age and being more of a follower, doing whatever his brothers tell him, rather than making decisions of his own. IV could possibly be some sort of leader, as has been shown to be cunning and a strategist, but he is too reckless of a person.

I'd make some argument about how Rally lived in a dump so he probably just pulled an old cloak and oversized shirt from the trash as it was all he could find and therefore it looks like he's crossdressing but everyone else in Satellite wears a shirt and pants. =/ I personally would have gone with Cronos and Yeager as prime examples of effeminate males, though.

f***ing hell Black Mist looks epic there!!!

I love how he is becoming a recurring mid-level antagonist. It's interesting, and he's one of my favourite Numbers.

However one thing that's pissed me off is the lack of exposure of Kaito and Haruto for far too long. Looking forward to them coming back to the fore soon.

Oh, btw, this isn't completely the correct section, but saw on the Wikia that the first set of Series 8, 'Return of the Duelist', is released to the OCG, and is made up predominantly of ZEXAL cards. I haven't ever experienced YGO in this way before, in being up with a series as its originally produced and cards being released from it or not at the same time, so I don't know what to expect from this. I'm guessing that will be where IV's Gimmick's, III's OOParts, Driote's Butterfly Assasins, Gauche's Bounce Streakers and other archtypes could all possibly come out? Or a backlog of unreleased cards used by Yuma, Shark, Kaito et all? Anyone know more about this sort of set?

It might have the Soccer cards and the Tomatos....but hopefully with Paradice insanely nerfed.

Also, I thought of that Tron theory a while ago. It would be kinda cool.

HELL! f***ing! NO!

*shoots you for daring to suggest that*

Enough crap is being released with Shobee and Anna's cards (even though I like Anna and hope she returns to the show soon, and I like the complete insanity in her style, her cards are in reality a bit hopeless)

My guess, IV's Gimmick Puppets and Number 15, III, OParts, Number 25 and 32 if they don't get printed in Order of Chaos, Kathy's cards, mabye some of Fuya's cards since he's coming back, and possibly Number 50 and 91. Also I hear the cover card is Excalibur.

Despite hating Anna's episode (the writers were clearly not trying with that duel), she's definitely a recurring character. She appears way too often in the opening to not be one. And considering I deduced that Kaito would be Yuma's main rival purely because he appeared twice in the first opening (something no other non-protagonist in that opening did), this sounds likely. Granted, one of Kaito's appearances in that opening showed him combating Yuma at extremely close range...

Well, Kaito and Haruto should be getting a lot of focus in a few episodes, so we can be happy about that.

V is obviously above the other two. He outright says he's not hunting Numbers yet because it's not his time to act, and IV is less than amused about the implications of that. III seems extremely passive, as he chooses to watch IV duel rather than dueling himself, except when told to.

On a random side note, III has the most interesting facial expression when he Duel Anchors Shark. It's like a boyishly cute smile.

And then him owning the 3k ATK Dragon confirmed it.

Speaking off character expressions and such, why does Takashi's hair jiggle when he draws? o.o

Well, keep in mind I made the deduction BEFORE Episode 13. Episode 13 and 14 made it blatantly apparent that Kaito was definitely going to be Yuma's greatest threat/rival in the hunt for Numbers.

One thing great about Yugioh is the weird expressions. Kaito takes it to a weird level at times. The hair jiggling was hilarious, though.

I doubt this highly, but do you think with Fuya coming back, we might see Galaxy Queen get some screentime? Another thing is according to a summary from the preview for the nest episode, it says that Gauche and Droit are "Preparing to begin a brutal Number Hunting" once Yua summons Hope. Mabye they do have Numbers, just not with them. Or at they very least, do some Number Hunting of their own, while Kaito does tha majority of it. Also has anyone else noticed this?

Number 15 Gimmick Puppet Giant Killer
Number 16 Ruler of Color Shock Ruler
Number 17 Revise Dragon
???
Number 19 Freezerdon
Number 20 Giganto Brilliant

Number 10 Illumiknight
Number 20 Giganto Brilliant
Number 30 Acid Golem of Destruction
Number 39 Aspiring Emperor Hope
???
Number 50 Black Corn

Is it just me, or does it seem like they are skipping the Numbers that come after the 2 main Numbers? Nothing important, just thought it was kind of odd.

That's probably pure coincidence. But I have noticed they've done almost the entire "10" series (10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 19), while all the other lines of 10 are almost completely unfilled (07, 20, 25, 50, 56, 61, 83, 96). The 30s are the next best developed (30, 32, 34, 39).

I remembered before there was the question that if Yuma and Kaito tag dueled against III and IV, who would get the Numbers?

After considering it, there are 2 possibilities.

1) They don't "win". They just dont lose.

2) Yuma/Astral gets the Numbers, but only maybe 1 or 2. Obviously III and IV wont lose all the Numbers they've collected/own, as it seems based on their episodes that they have the Numbers in one group, and carry only one or two with them (III only carried Number 32, for example).

Kaito should be far too distracted regarding Haruto to think of using Photon Hand (as Haruto collapsing during his Duel with Yuma made him cancel the duel, even though he was literally 3 seconds from winning and knew Yuma had at least 2 Numbers), and this time Haruto is actually an immediate concern. Thus, Astral would probably zap the Numbers before Kaito even remembers about it.

And IV having his soul sucked by Kaito would completely destroy the point of him being Shark's antagonist.

Watched ep 37.

Very interesting.

Think Yami Astral/Black Mist's talk of destruction will have... some direction... but is mostly exaggerated as Black Mist being Black Mist. That part was quite epic.

In the sub at least, I think Gauches and Driotes lines looked a bit awkward, but got the gist. I like the 'you only have to defeat one of us' helps, it is viable for Yuma to beat one and have it passed of as a fluke and not weaken either Driote or Gauche (who will probably be the fall guy).

As for duel, I like Gauche's cards. Having no protection to go all out on the attack suits him. Driote is more calculating, so her cards stand to reason to. Yuma is taking his first steps down the road of Yusei activating effects from everywhere. Presumably his face down will be some form of draw card. Also interested by the focus that lizard thing he discarded got, clearly that will also play a part in the match even though all the spaces for monsters of Yuma's in GAOV are taken up now.

I just wish we got some of the Level increasing cards that seem to crop up in every episode. Would make my life easier.

Do you think the other Numbers might only be listening to Black Mist because they're afraid of him?
[/quote]

I'm not really even sure what Black Mist and the other Numbers are actually DOING, so I'm not sure whether they're afraid of him or not.
