[spoiler='Ep54 Raw']

  • So Yuya and Serena arrived just in sight of a group of securities looking for Yugo and Yuzu after they got away from the security.
  • Sawatari and Reira are dragged into it by a combination of association and Sawatari not being able to STFU.
  • Speed World Neo is completely pointless.
  • And the guy who replaced the Professor in the opening randomly moves chess pieces in time with Yugo/Security's duel. Am I the only one that finds this "symbolic" element not symbolic and all and just boringly clichè at this point?

[spoiler=Thoughts on 55 RAW]

- More 5Ds nostalgia (Jutte Fighter, Descending Lost Star, Torapart, Gate Blocker), me like.

- New Speed World is completely pointless

- Jean-Michel Roger moving chess pieces in time with Yugo/Security duel did get boring after a while tbh.

- As soon as Yuya and Serena arrived (w Sawatari and Reira), they got mistaken for Yugo and Yuzu whom Security are looking for after getting away.

 - That being said, I do like how they got boxed in by Gate Blockers to prevent them from getting away.

[spoiler= Script 55].
Last time’s Egao Count: 44

Yuzu: During the Junior Youth Championship’s Battle Royale,
My bracelet glowed, and I was teleported to a different dimension.
To a world without Yuuya and everyone…

Security Officer: The escaping D-Wheeler
Is currently on Highway Number 8.
Duel Chaser 227 has located him, and is currently in pursuit.
The D-Wheeler has refused to follow our order and will not pull over.

Security Officer: Requesting permission for coercive enforcement, sir.

Jean-Michel: You have my permission to force him into a Duel.
So go ahead and restrain those who dare to defy the Security’s orders.
And be quick about it.

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: Field Magic, Speed World – Neo, Set On!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana’s D-Wheel: Duel Mode. On. Autopilot. Standby.

Commoner: It’s a Duel!

Female Announcer: A Duel is commencing. A Duel is commencing.
All vehicles that are currently on the route,
Please exit immediately.
A Duel is commencing. A Duel is commencing.
All vehicles that are currently on the route,
Please exit immediately.

Yuugo: What’s your name?

Yuzu: Eh?

Yuugo: You still haven’t told me your name.

Yuzu: My name is Yuzu. Hiiragi Yuzu.

Yuugo: All right. You’d better hold on tight, Yuzu!
I’m gonna show you what a Riding Duel is like!

RIDING DUEL! ACCELERATION!

(Opening Sequence)

Security Officer: Speed World – Neo has been successfully deployed!
A link with the escaping D-Wheel has been established.
It is currently being managed by Speed World – Neo.
Director. Duel Chaser 227
Has commenced a Duel!

Jean-Michel: What’s the course?

Security Officer: It’s the STC06 route that ran from The Tops’ villa sector
To the center of the City.

Jean-Michel: Splendid.

Yuugo: I’ll take the first turn! Let’s do this!!
It’s my turn!
I summon Speedroid Three-Eyed Dice from my hand!
When there is a WIND monster on my field,
I can Special Summon Speedroid Taketonborg from my hand!
I tune the Level-3 Taketonborg with the Level-3 Three-Eyed Dice!
Cursed blade bearing the form of the cross.
Shred all your enemies to pieces with your power!
Synchro Summon!
Come forth! Highspeedroid Maken Dahma!

Yuzu: Synchro Summon…

Yuugo: Here we go! I activate Maken Dahma’s effect!
Once per turn, I can banish a Speedroid from my graveyard,
And inflict 500 points of damage to my opponent!

Yuugo: All right! Now we have a head-start on him!
I set one card facedown and end my turn!

Yuzu: (girly screams)

Yuzu: Hey…Hey! Are you seriously planning to Duel and ride the motorcycle at the same time?

Yuugo: Well, duh!

Yuzu: SERIOUSLY!??

Yuzu: (girly scream)

Yuzu: Isn’t this kind of dangerous?
This is why I prefer to Duel on the ground!
What is it now?

Yuugo: Tch… They’re already here.

Melissa: Citizens of the City, good evening!
I’m the Top Reporter of Top City TV, Melissa Claire!
Tonight, we shall deliver everyone a break-taking chase and a super-duper-exciting Riding Duel!

Security Officer #2: Director.
A news helicopter has arrived above Speed World.

Jean-Michel: Well, isn’t that nice?
The Tops people don’t have anything better to do with their free time, do they?
Very well, then.
Let’s take a little detour.
Switch from STC06 route to 11.

Security Officer #2: Understood.

Yuugo: Let’s go over there!

Melissa: an elite Duel Chaser of the Security’s Vs. a pair of fugitives!
The first turn has ended.
The Duel Chaser has received 500 damage,
So, our fugitives currently have a head-start over him.
Where will this battle go?
How will this chase conclude?
This will be a jaw-dropping broadcast,
And the ultimate entertainment!
I, Melissa Claire the Top Reporter,
Can guarantee that.

Yuugo: All right! Bring it on!
Everyone is getting impatient in front of their TV!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: I’m just going to say this.
When you have a Riding Duel with me, your chance of being arrested is 100%!
There’s no way I’m going to lose to a worthless street rat like you!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: It’s my turn!
I summon Jutte Knight from my hand!
Furthermore, when my opponent controls a Synchro Monster,
I can lower its ATK by 500,
And Special Summon Sasumata Gardna in defense position from my hand!
I tune the Level-3 Sasumata Gardna with the Level-2 Jutte Knight!
He will hunt you down all the way to the bottom of hell!
Behold! The righteous spirit!
Synchro Summon! Come on out!
Level-5, Goyo Chaser!

Yuzu: Even the policeman is using Synchro Summon.
Then…This really is the Synchro Dimension!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: Go!
I attack Maken Dahma with Goyo Chaser!

Melissa: The fugitive has taken 200 damage!

Jean-Michel: There’s still more. Goyo Chaser’s effect activates.

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: When this card destroys a monster in battle, it can halve that monster’s ATK and Special Summon it to my field!

Yuugo: Say what!?

Jean-Michel: Then, he’ll attack directly with Maken Dahma.

Yuugo: That’s cheating!
You can’t just use my monster like that!

Melissa: What an effective maneuver!
The fugitive has received 1100 damage!

Yuzu: A-Are you all right?

Yuugo: Heh…This is gonna be fun.

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: I set one card facedown and end my turn!

Jean-Michel: Just two more turns.
Send a Security patrol squad
to Point 5 of Town D Sector.
The Duel will most likely be concluded in the vicinity of that area.

Security lackey: Understood.

Jean-Michel: And just so that the Commons who saw the broadcast
Won’t do anything funny,
Raise the Vigilance Level of the entire City to 5.

Melissa: This truly is a back-and-forth match!
How will our fugitive counterattack in the next turn?

Yuugo: Let’s go full throttle! It’s my turn!
I summon Speedroid Ohajikid!
On the turn that this card is successfully summoned,
I can target a tuner monster in my opponent’s graveyard,
And perform a Synchro Summon using Ohajikid.
I choose Jutte Knight!
This is payback for using my monster!
I tune the Level-3 Ohajikid with the Level-2 Jutte Knight!
Synchro Summon!
Spirit filled with burning desire for sword fighting!
Come on out! Level-5!
Highspeedroid Chanbarider!

Melissa: The fugitive had managed to Synchro Summon by stealing the Duel Chaser’s monster!

Yuugo: All right, Battle!
I attack Maken Dahma with Chanbarider!
Chanbarider’s effect also activates!
When this card battles, its ATK is increased by 100!
There’s more! Due to its effect, Chanbarider can attack twice during the Battle Phase!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: What?

Yuugo: Go! Chanbarider!
Attack Goyo Chaser! And when Chanbarider battles, its ATK is increased by 100!

Yuugo: Hell yeah!

Melissa: The fugitive has inflicted heavy damage to the Duel Chaser with his consecutive attacks!
This battle is more intense than expected!

Jean-Michel: Hehe… Unfortunate for you, I’ve already planned out our three chess moves.
And it will all end with the third move.

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: Trap, activate! Descending Lost Star!
With this card’s effect, I can target a Synchro Monster in my graveyard,
And Special Summon it in defense position!
Be revived! Goyo Chaser!
However, Goyo Chaser’s effect will be negated.
Its Level is reduced by one.
And its DEF becomes 0.
Furthermore, I cannot change its battle position.

Melissa: Take a look at this!
The Duel Chaser has brought back Goyo Chaser!

Yuugo: I end my turn with this.

Melissa: However, so far, the fugitive still has the upper hand over the Duel Chaser!
His Dueling skill is certainly commendable.

Jean-Michel: Have the upper hand? Hehe…
I think our Top Reporter is getting her facts wrong.
He’s going to get checked sooner or later.

(Chess commercial. Brb)

Melissa: The Duel Chaser has moved to the front of the fugitive!

Yuugo: You’re smarter than I thought.

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: As long as I’m in front of you,
Whether you move right or left, you won’t be able to get out. (Um, chess analogy?)
I never leave a blind spot unguarded!

Yuugo: Oh, really?

Yuzu: Eh? Kyaaaah!

Yuugo: You’re full of openings, chum!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: You scum!

Melissa: T-The fugitive just…Did he just run on the wall of the highway?

Yuzu: Don’t be reckless!

Yuugo: I’ve told you that if I lose here, we’ll be sent to the detention facility, no?
If that happens, I won’t be able to participate in the Friendship Cup!
I won’t be able to rise to the top!
In this world, the only way to climb up is through Dueling!
It’s a means of survival!

Yuzu: Dueling is a means of survival?

Yuugo: All right, come and get me!
If you want to catch me, you have to win this Duel!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: Damn street-rat. It’s my turn!
I summon Torapart from my hand!
I tune the Level-4 Goyo Chaser with Torapart!
Seize them with the fangs of the savage beast!
Synchro Summon! Level-6! Goyo Predator!
Time to put you in your place!
I attack Chanbarider with Goyo Predator!

Yuugo: Due to its effect, Chanbarider’s ATK increases by 100 when it battles!

Jean-Michel: When Goyo Predator destroys a monster in battle, it can Special Summon that monster.

Melissa: Check this out!
The Duel Chaser has brought the fugitive’s monster to his side!
It’s about time for the climax!

Yuugo: Hey! You’re stealing my monster again?
Why do you Security people resort to these underhanded methods?

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: We will capture our runaway criminals by any means!
Arresting you is all that matters!

Jean-Michel: Attack directly with Chanbarider.

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: When Chanbarider battles, its ATK increases by 100!

Yuzu: Chanbarider can attack twice!
If you take the next direct attack…

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: Exactly! This is the end!

Jean-Michel: Checkmate.
(Why didn’t he use the card he set in the first turn?)
Duel Chaser 227!
Don’t use your second direct attack yet!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: Once again, my 100% arrest ratio is unbroken!
I’m going to get a promotion!
I’ll attack directly again with Chanbarider!

Yuugo: Trap Card, Dice Roll Battle!
When I receive an attack when my Life is below 1000,
I can send a Dice monster from my hand to the graveyard,
and Synchro Summon using the monsters in my graveyard as materials!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: What?

Yuugo: I send Red-Eyed Dice from my hand to the graveyard!
I tune the Level-6 Maken Dahma and the Level-1 Red-Eyed Dice in my graveyard together!
Spread your beautiful and majestic wings.
Strike down our enemies with the speed of light!
Synchro Summon! Come forth!
Level-7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!
Then, due to Dice Roll Battle’s effect, all of my opponent’s monsters must battle Clear Wing!
When Chanbarider battles, its ATK increases by 100.
However, when a Level-5 or above monster on the field activates its effect, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon can negate its effect, and destroy it!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: What!?

Yuugo: Dichroic Mirror!
Then, until the end of the turn, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon will gain ATK equal to the destroyed monster's ATK!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: 4-4600 ATK!?

Yuugo: Alrighty. Due to Dice Roll Battle’s effect, Goyo Predator must battle Clear Wing!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: T-this can’t be real!

Yuugo: Go!
I attack Goyo Predator with Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!
Helldive Whirlwind Slasher!

Duel Chaser Nini-nana: AAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Yuzu: You did it!

Melissa: Wha…What a surprising turn of events!
The fugitive had defeated the elite Duel Chaser of Security!

Jean-Michel: Cancel the course and lead the fugitives to Point 5 of D Sector.
Blockade the highway’s exit.
Call in the nearby Security for backup, so that we can prepare for anything.

Security Officer #2: Understood.

Jean-Michel: 227… This is not how you end your career. (tosses queen chess piece away).

Yuzu: We should be fine now, right?

Yuugo: Don’t be silly.

Yuzu: A-A wall!?

Yuugo: Hold on tight!

Yuzu: EEEEEEh?

Yuugo: What an annoying bunch!

Yuzu: Stop! Stop!

Security: Here they come!

(Yuugo defies the laws of physics and jumps over the Securities)

Security: A-After them!

Melissa: Wow, I did not see this coming!
The fugitive not only won the Duel,
But also successfully broke through the road block and escaped!
Now, they’ll be looking for him.
All right, Melissa Claire, signing out!

Security lackey: Blockade the route from Town D Sector to R Sector immediately!

Security lackey #2: All patrolling Security in the vicinity, pursue the fugitives at once!

Security lackey #3: We’ve got a photo of the fugitive and his accomplice!
Search for them right now!

SAWATARI-SAN: Traveling across dimensions sure isn’t a pleasant experience.

Yuuya: This place is…

Serena: This is probably the Synchro Dimension.

Yuuya: Yuzu is somewhere in this place…
There’s another city above this town?
Where is Gongenzaka? Where are the others?

Security mook: This is the Security.
We had you completely surrounded!

SAWATARI-SAN: What are these guys talking about?

Security mook #08: We’ve found them!
Their clothes are different, but they definitely have the same faces!
They also have some accomplices with them!

Jean-Michel: Arrest them at once.

Yuuya: W-wait! Reira!

(Reira runs into a wall)

Yuuya: Are you okay? This is…
Real Solid Vision?
Did they activate it from outside?

Muscular Security mook: We’ve been searching the entire City since last night for you!
Be obedient and surrender!

Yuuya: Oh, come on! We’ve just got here!

Security mook #08: Enough chattering! Shut up and give yourself up!

SAWATARI-SAN: Hey, asshole!
Who do you think you are, telling people to shut up like that?
Do you know who I am?
I’m the Sawatari Shingo!

Yuuya: W-wait! Sawatari, hold on just a sec.

SAWATARI-SAN: You want to Duel me? Fine, bring it on!
I’m going to put you in your place!

Yuuya: W-wait! Sawatari!
H-Hey! Not you too, Serena!

SAWATARI-SAN: Action Field, On!

Duel Disk: Field Magic, Cross Over!

DUEL!

Yuuya: You’ve gotta be kidding me.

(Preview for episode 56)

Security mook: You’re under arrest for illegally breaking into the Tops’ residential area and assaulting the citizens!
Be obedient and give yourself up!

Yuuya: I didn’t do any of that!

Serena: So they’re the Duelists of the Synchro Dimension, huh?
I was expecting a situation like this, but…

SAWATARI-SAN: I’m going to put you all in your place!

Yuuya: W-wait! Hold on just a sec, everyone!
Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V:
Security’s Perfect Encirclement!
The fun has just begun!

  • Duel Chaser uses Trudge.dek, except for new Goyo Synchros and that one new monster. K, nothing amazing about that. (tl;dr, Trudge was cooler)
  • Melissa Clair is either this dimension's Carly (although not as important right now) or that other one that nobody cares about due to minor role.
  • I assume that Roger (ARC-V Goodwin) told Security to assume that Yuya and co. are friends with Yugo and to arrest them.
  • On that note, appears after DC227 lost, he lost respect for said man.
  • Was expecting Speed Spells in this dimension; didn't see. So yeah, Speed World - Neo sucks.
  • Watching Yugo cream the DC was amazing, and then jumping over Security van.
  • Yugo gets more stuff.

[spoiler='Reply']You know, by logic, the fact they didn't play one single Spell Card during the whole Duel does leave room for usage of Speed Spells in the future. You shouldn't be so quick to declare Speed World Neo superfluous this early on the run.[/spoiler]

Keep in mind that I'm not the only one who said that, but also note that Speed World - Neo didn't grant SPC [although the concept of SPC was mentioned earlier on in episode, I believe].

 

So yeah, either they're going to use Speed Spells that don't require SPC to work; or Neo was just some prototype. Or it could very well be like the 5Ds manga; use regular S/T.

[spoiler='Reply 3: The Revenge']

Or maybe they simply didn't get the chance to use Speed Spells or Speed World Neo's effects; the writers might not have felt like introducing those features right off the bat, saving them for more important duels. As I stated before, if no Spell Cards were played throughout the entire duel, there's no way we can safely tell if they don't work as they used to.

Yes, we did last episode and that's all the card said.

So in its own right, that more/less eliminates the concept of Speed Spells, well at least the ones from 5Ds (which is basically all of them); unless they use no Speed Counters but I doubt that.

It's possible that Speed World Neo is one of several variants of Speed World.

 

Perhaps Neo is a Speed World used exclusively by Security for the purposes of arresting Duelists, and therefore it doesn't have any effects, but while active, they're able to monitor the route being used, and redirect it. That's what some of the dialogue was implying to me, according to the script. Security is using the Duel as a pronged attack. If Yugo loses the Duel, his D-Wheel shuts down. During the Duel, Security is able to adjust the auto-pilot's course and assembles blockades in the meantime.

We'll have to see what the actual subs say; if that script isn't relatively accurate.

But yeah, it's possible that it's only used for Security purposes (Neo). 

 

Maybe there's another one that functions similarly to the Speed World (2) that we remember from 5Ds, but again we gotta wait and see.

 

OTT: Too bad I changed my avatar back to normal, even though the 5Ds hype was felt.

 

EDIT: nvm, I went back to Ruka until I get that 5Ds Latias I want up to standard. Doesn't seem as appealing as this one.

Or I do 5Ds Sakura.

Yeah, I hadn't seen that until now... Even so, I've got a feeling there's more to Riding Duels than we currently know.

Here's another thought, this one from a writing standpoint. As far as Duels go, this one wasn't that great. Not terrible, just...kind of generic. Which is okay for now.

 

Writing Duels for Riding Duels is probably hard as hell, depending on the effects of Speed World. Plot Device Speed Spell needs to have X counters. Counter accumulation tended to be every Standby Phase except Turn 1. Original Speed World had a counter reduction effect when you took increments of 1000 damage. Speed World 2 lost that, but let you use counters for different effects, in addition to Speed Spell costs and restrictions, making it a delicate balancing game, but also having the cheap 800 burn that played heavily into some Duels.

 

For the first introduction to Riding Duels in Arc-V, they're not going to want to run with this concept YET. Why? Because they'd have to explain it to the audience stand-in (Yuzu). That'd take time away from the Duel. And they're putting a lot of things into this Duel and situation already, although they could have definitely count out the chess motif because I seriously can't imagine how he's emulating chess strategies regarding the current state of a different game that is nothing like chess.

I'm gonna go a bit off-topic from Speed World discussion and post this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A16Ilypv624

So they are getting ready to premiere ARC-V Dub.

Not sure how to feel about this opening atm, but Burn! is still so far my favourite opening from ARC-V. :P

-le chess post

 

I assume it was just monster destroyed=take opponent's piece. But to be honest it was just a metaphor for who was winning, and the fact that they're all pawns (hah) to him.

 

Dub opening: eh, it's ok. Better than ZeXal's first dub opening at least, but I wish they didn't get the dorkiest sounding rapper possible XD This intro isn't going to remotely fit once they get up to the xyz reveal.

This new ending is probably the worst one out of them all. Of course there's the fact that they can't really sub over the original content, and that they have to abridge several things, but this really was the crappiest one out of them all. Taking away a very nice boy band and replacing it with a lame kids rap band doesn't really sound too catchy or having any feel of entertainment. While the other English opening has at least some decent music and some neat montages and clips to make a new, revised opening, this one is just a collage of crap, spoiling a lot of future moments in the show and just blurts out every single comedic moment they can find, no matter how trivial it is.

 

It's pretty lame and they could have done a better job. I think the worst part was not the clipshow but the rapping...It sounds so white on the wrong levels.

I went to YouTube to see people's comments about the opening. One comment I saw a lot of was "5Ds opening was the best English OP" (or something along those lines). Wasn't 5Ds the only series that had fans actually vote for the English opening? Why do you peeps think they never did that again, I mean, it got a good rep, right?

Yeah, 5Ds was the only series that allowed voters to choose their favorite (provided you had a 4Kids account). Too bad I didn't vote, though likely would've chosen Hyperdrive or We Ride to Survive.

 

Why they aren't doing it now, I don't know. Maybe due to the license revocation, they can't do it anymore.

 

Then again, I stopped caring for the dub after a while.

 

----

About the ARC-V one, it has a lot of scenes that weren't in the Japanese one; but lyric-wise, not too sure if I'd like it, even if I did still care about the dubs.
