Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 No new episode this week. Boourns! Wait, the old geezer from duel lodge is coming back? As well as Fuya. Why is Konami giving a load of one shot characters that served their purpose a second shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Fuya's that shy kid who plays the character ESPer Robin on the show. He ended up getting possessed by Number 83, who convinced him she's his mother (and looks like her). He's from episode 7 and 8. Which interestingly are the episodes I said were possibly the least essential and/or interesting episodes in Season 1 that involved a Number.

Northern Sage Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Just thought of something. My imagination, or is he an expy of Esper Roba? Not only similar name, but they are kind of similar in appearance too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An expy is usually a similar character design, and they really have nothing in common. Fuya is a shy only child, Espa Roba was the eldest brother. ESPer Robin is a superhero, Espa Roba is a (fake) psychic. Their personalities aren't similar, either. Kaito is somewhat of an expy of Kaiba, obviously. All rivals have some sort of root in Kaiba.

ParadoxCaller Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 its obvious yuma is going to win the duel, or bring it to a draw (just like with kaito) or he loses and droite and gauche just let it pass for some reason. just wondering what sort of over the top power-up yuma has for utopia thi time in the next episode?

IceDorago Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just thought of something - if Astral sends Hope to aid Yuma, then when Yuma summons it, Astral still won't be there with him as he'll be fighting Black Mist.

It's not the key that matters. - Tetsuo did nearly get possessed by Number 39 when he dueled Black Mist. He was shown shaking it off, and I got the implication it was his willpower/desire to help Yuma that prevented the possession, not the Key, which was just the thing stopping Black Mist from stealing Number 39 immediately, as well as letting Astral regain control of Black Mist. - Shark did have the key when he took control of Number 30, and he showed some symptoms of near possession, such as the number 30 appearing on his hand, and him breathing harder. I assumed the reason he wasn't possessed was because his motive was selfless. He wasn't dueling for himself, he was dueling to protect Yuma's Key from Kaito. In fact, it's never explained directly why Yuma has never shown symptoms of possession by any Numbers. The closest he got to possession was Black Mist, and Black Mist explicitly possessed Astral, who is probably the "filter" for the Numbers' power.

Jord200 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 My guess is Astral makes some speech and the other Numbers decide they don't want to cause destruction ( if they are willingly helping Black Mist, or if its out of fear, they get the coinfedence and courage to fight back ), save Astral, and beat Black Mist up. Mabye then, Yuma will use other Numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki only counts if it has a reliable source or part of an episode backing it up. Just like while Wiki claims Photon Change prevents Kaito from being possessed, there's no genuine evidence behind it yet, aside from Astral noting that Kaito doesnt appear possessed, and the fact he Photon Changes before every duel.

evilfusion Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 So I saw the new episode, obviously unsubbed. I am pleased. Sadly, the finer details are unknown because I dont understand Japanese. [spoiler=spoiler stuff] -Astral managed to send Hope to Yuma, while he continued to face Black Mist. -Yuma Summoned Hope during Main Phase 2 as a result. Droite and Gauche appropriately freaked out at seeing a Number. -Yuma recognized "Photon" monsters as being Kaito's and reacts accordingly, tipping them off he knows Kaito somehow. -Yuma does not win using a new form of Hope, or Number C39. Rather, he used some weird combo with Double-Up Chance, some other Quick-Play that doubled ATK, and that lizard thing he sent with Gagaga Gardna last episode to steal an Overlay Unit. -We finally see Yuma when he loses all hope of winning a duel.

Dementuo Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I seriously gotta get back to my Rosetta Stone some time so I can start understanding this stuff. The episode was a little strange. Why didn't Black Mist keep, uh... What, himself, out to fight Astral? Were the writers just lazy? (Like with Card Car D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Because he didn't to in order to possess Astral or whatever his goal was. It was only when Hope appeared to defend Astral that he brought out his monster form. Also, I imagine it's more draining to have both out than to just have his current body.

Dementuo Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Good points. But I'm still wondering what exactly the other Numbers actually [i]did[/i]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDorago Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm pretty happy that it was just a boosted attack rather than an upgraded form. But, through the duel, I was thinking "Wow, Yuma is playing a whole game for himself. Maybe he is getting better." and when he started to give up, that the cards he had drawn were going to be useless and that Astral would have to jump in to save his hide and let him Summon Hope Mars. But seeing as it turned out that Hope Mars Sword Slash was just an attack name and not a new form, it seems that Yuma is no better because he didn't actually see the combo. Though, Overlay Eater was the first card he dropped iirc, but that might have just been him randomly discarding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The fact that Yuma did play the entire match on his own was actually pretty good for him. I was a little disappointed that Astral was needed to point out a combo that Yuma could theoretically have done without him, but it didn't bother me. The episode was good. No Hope upgrade, and Double Up Chance was used again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadoxCaller Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 wow, Utopia looked badass when attacking with Double or Nothing! and Bi-Tension!. guess this means Droite and Gauche is going to keep a close eye on Yuma, or at least have some sort of attention towards him.

evilfusion Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Well, evidently they're not going to tell Mr. Heartland about him, and leave him for Kaito to deal with. Or something like that. Though they, according to the Wiki previews of future episodes, jump to the conclusion that Yuma kidnapped Haruto. So they're not ignoring him.
