Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V

[Yellow Jacket]

The fact of Yuya fusion summoning over just attacking with Odd-Eyes seems irrelevant. Even if he did just attack then he only would've caused 200 damage. Then Jack would've just creamed him next anyways.

 

And yeah, I can't wait till the Arc V manta comes out! I wonder if Odd-Eyes will have different forms than his anime self like Utopia?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Yuya drained Red Wyvern's ATK to a quarter due to DRXD's effect, making it go to 4300 itself.

He attacks with DRXD (Jack: 4000 LP -> 300 LP).

 

Odd-Eyes had more than enough ATK to win (assuming Jack didn't have Battle Fader or something in his hand, which the Magicians cannot block).

 

-------

While yes, Odd-Eyes + Trump Girl only cause 2700 together (as opposed to 3000 off Rune-Eyes), you forgot that Dark Rebellion was used + drained power out of Wyvern.

Thank you for that. I didn't see it. But now that I do I agree. Now I feel like Yuya who didn't see that move.

[Hallohallo]

What about Reject Reborn Trap card? It doesn't seem it targets monsters so Timegazer's Pendulum effect wouldn't activate. (If Odd-Eyes attacked first)

 

I wonder why didn't Jack activate it before he activated the action card.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

So he could build off of Rune-Eyes attacking twice; get the materials needed to Synchro Summon RDA-Scarright and OTK Yuya.

If he had activated it before Yuya attacked, while yes, Jack would have all of his LP; but certainly not the monsters needed to make RDA.

 

Technically, he did negate one attack so he'd get back Wyvern and could trigger it again.

 

Whether or not Jack would've summoned Scarright regardless is anyone's guess; likely he would've (and things would've turned out the same regardless); provided he had another Level 2 Tuner to summon with (either he drew one, or some way to revive Red Resonator).

Well we knew what the other cards in his hand were. If you paused the episode at about 16:32, you'd have seen the other two cards in his hand which were Revival Gift and Mind Trust.

[King K. Azo]

[spoiler=Response]I know, I know. What I'm saying is that I don't get why Yugo is describing in such dramatic terms a practice that is very common in this kind of professional competitions as if it were inhuman or something like that. Maybe in Neo Neo Domino defeat is considered something horribly humiliating even when you're a rookie nobody knows that is fighting against the goddamn Duel King?

 

 

 

[spoiler=Response to the Response of the Response. Response.]

This is in a show where people go to prison for cheating, guards are bribed by cards, a war between dimensions is being waged with cards, and we drive motorcycles and play card games on motorcycles. Are we really questioning this? No offense, but like... C'mon.

But... I guess 'Dueling is power' and if he was strong he would have own, blah blah blah. Or Banana may not like it because it discourages duelists from actually trying, and giving them a defeatist attitude.

 

 

[evilfusion]

Yugo said it that way specifically because Yuzu knew Yuya. Yugo knew that the whole point of an exhibition match is to make Jack look awesome, and he was delighted to watch it. But Yuzu recognized Jack's opponent as her close friend, which prompted Yugo to be slightly sympathetic and comment that Yuya was put into a situation that he was not expected to have a chance at winning in.

 

Yuzu didn't know, at the time, that the exhibition match opponent is expected to get utterly crushed. By telling her the anticipated outcome, she'd be more mentally prepared to see her close friend lose to the City's strongest Duelist. She's a stranger to this dimension. Yugo knows she doesn't know the traditions here.

 

In all Yugioh series, losing is considered humiliating. Being set-up to fight a Duel you have no chance to win is humiliating (or losing on purpose, like Dragan in 5Ds had to do). It's using you as a scapegoat to boost someone else's ego in front of the public. And then Yuya still is participating in the tournament, so any lingering effects on his morale from a crippling loss will maybe mess him up in other matches.

[Dramatic Crossroad]

Arc-V e65: So basically a Jack-Atlas-fanservice episode, where Yuya misplays and Fusion Summons (all the more reason Fusion is EVIL mwahahahah), even though he could have won with the cards he had. The crashing D-wheel and landing part was bit cheesy, he bounced off like a plank, didn't seem dramatic at all.

I had higher expectations for the episode though, if only Sailor Yuzu activated her magi-girl bracelet powers to switch Yuya with Hugo, i bet he would have loved to king some king butt :D

 

Anyway 66 seems more plot-scheming and promising, with the dragon card light radiation, we might even get more than someone's overcoming their father issues and entertainer angst.

 

PLOT TWIST: there is a 5th RITUAL dimension, haahahahah

I want this so bad.

[Neutrality Man]

Not the only one. If only so we can get A: More Ritual cards. and B: Ritual Pendulums

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Right now, all of the known dimensions are Extra Deck mechanics.

Indeed, we'll have to see if Ritual will get its own dimension, but seems unlikely at the moment.

 

That being said, not too many characters use them in this series; only one being Mieru in that one and only duel she had against Yuya.

ZEXAL only had Kaito in the later arcs; 5Ds had none, bar for Lazar in the manga.

GX and DM had their share of it over time, but they didn't have the Extra Deck mechanics that we have now.

 

While yes, it would be good to get more Rituals, the mechanic itself is rather clunky; save for Nekroz and other stuff.

[VCR_CAT]

I like Rituals being where they are in the anime; something clunky and hard to pull off, but if you do it then it's DANG, SON. I remember seeing the rituals in Season 1 of DM and just going "WHOA HOLY CRAP". Relinquished seemed to be the strongest monster in the game to me at the time; it was redonks! But then thinking about what it would be like if it were a regularly used mechanic just doesn't seem nearly as interesting.

[spoiler=samples of the manga]

So it seems that Sawatari, Sora, and Kurosaki all work under Reiji, and their mission is to capture Yuya? (Source baidu)

 

 

[King K. Azo]

The manga always makes new cards that are eventually are made, right?

 

 

Dear god, please let there be new SuperHeavys.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

The manga always makes new cards that are eventually are made, right?

For the most part, yes.

As to what they will be, we don't know.

 

In terms of what they'll be using, only one up in the air is pretty much Sawatari; given his Deck cycling thus far in the anime.

Shun and Sora already have a set Deck; Yuya is definitely playing Entermates/Performapals.

[~British Soul~]

Shun and Sora's decks will most likely remain the same, if not they'll probs still use the summoning methods of the dimension they came from in th anime.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Yeah, it'll make sense if they retain stuff.

Shun keeps his RR Xyz (with RUMs) and Sora can Fusion Summon.

 

Reiji will likely have D/D's and everyone else is probably same.

 

I said Sawatari might be the difficult one, given he's used four separate Decks in the series thus far (Darts Shooter, Mobius, Yosenjus and Underworld Troupe).

Would be nice if he used Yosenjus, so he'd actually be a threat, but we'll have to see. (Likely they'll give him his current one, so...)

(RAW should be up in 2 hours; although may be earlier)

[~British Soul~]

[spoiler=Thoughts on 65 RAW]

Not much to go on here as it was a talky episode, so will have to wait for subs.

- It's a good thing the council guards were able to prevent security from arresting Yuzu and Banana.

- It was nice to see Yuya going over his loss in a serious manner.

- So the Friendship Cup is a 16-man tourney, though looking at the holograms; Tsukikage wasn't seen.

 - Which is strange because teh previews said that Tsukikage was duelling Shinji

- Yuya was given a card called Tuning Magician, so we can assume Yuya will most likely synchro at some point.

- So the locks on the doors of the participants only open when they are about to duel

- New Superheavy Samurai synchro hype as it's a level 9.

[spoiler=Episode Thoughts]

 

Nothing really special this episode, only development and some exposition. I like how Yuya was serious about his defeat and gone over his mistakes, especially how he was careless about Jack's backrow. There aren't many circumstances of protagonists specifically going over how they lost, but I guess Yuya had some stern motivation. Even though he gets ejected from his motorcycle possibly at 60-80 MPH, no one gives a sheet about his condition even if his non-convincing outfit is practically a suit of armor. Poor Yuya. But I still see his determination and he isn't too emo about it for once.

 

So apparently Sam was a Common and worked his way into the Tops society because he was inspired by Jack's story? And he got pissed because Jack's only means of recognizing him was giving him a "worthless" card? Well at least that's how I interpreted it cause I don't know much. But that card looks too similarly like Yuya's Magicinas, since it has the similar circular connection panels as the magicians.

 

Gong vs Crow next episode, and I'm pretty hype to see Crow's Blackwings finally get some full screentime. Also uperheavy Sams can possibly get Trishula now according to the preview.

 

 

[Tinkerer]

Nice, scar-right was finally shown in the intro (instead of silhouetted)

[Pchi]

[spoiler=Clarification]So, from what I've heard, before giving Sam Tuning/Tuned Magician, Jack told him that, since the boy had no cards, he'd give him that one, as it's the one which fits him the most. Sam didn't take this well, because TM, at least from his perspective, is a weak card. But the fact that they're going out of their way to avoid showing her lore leads me to believe that, while her stats may be low, she'll turn out to be a Tuner with great effect (even more so if Yuuya changes her into a Pendulum). Come to think about it, since it IS a Magician (Majuutsushi) monster indeed, that means she's probably going to get a counterpart, like all that came before her, isn't that right? Can't wait to find out. Not to mention the fact it's a Level 1 monster may hint at a Scale 0 Pendulum coming soon. On other news, I like it that they're hinting that there's more to Jack than meets the eye this time around, and he may not be huge smug jerk we're all expecting him to be. On the other hand, his rise to kingship just happens to coincide with Yuushou's disappearance and the invasion of Xyz Dimension (3 years earlier). I wonder what that could mean.

[spoiler=Response]

Yep, this episode hints that Jack may not be a 'jerkass' as everyone thought he would be. I think that Sam misunderstood Jack, Jack didn't give Sam to say that he is weak and pathetic, he is trying to tell Sam to build/bond a connection with other people, hence why he gave him a tuner.
