Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V

[VCR_CAT]

[spoiler= Prediction Princess]

Yuzu might lose, and then Serena might find out about the labor stuff and then throw her match kind of. Then, both will be in the labor place and those 2 + Gongenzaka will work to get out of the labor area and break out into the tournament area. I'm calling it.

[spoiler=]

Would Chojiro let her is the question. He knows about the rumors which aren't rumors.

 

Honestly, I was expecting them to make Dennis duel Yuzu.

 

With this info, who all has yet to have there duel?

With this info, who all has yet to have there duel?

 

[spoiler=Response]

Yuya, Yugo, Dennis, Damon (Crow's friend), Shun, Unknown Duel Chaser, Sawatari and the guy working with Jean

Would Chojiro let her is the question. He knows about the rumors which aren't rumors.

 

Honestly, I was expecting them to make Dennis duel Yuzu.

[spoiler=Response]

At this time, he doesn't know that Yuzu is the one who compelled Yuya to orchestrate the break-out, or he does (but I forgot that).

So likely not, though we shall see.

 

 

 

[spoiler=About previews]

Aside from the stuff regarding Yuzu vs Chojiro, I'm likely expecting Serena to win her fight, though we have no clue on what her opponent can do yet.

Yuzu is more consistent Deck-wise, so she might have an edge. However, we shall see.

 

I'm going to predict Sawatari will lose, since indeed he hasn't been a good duelist since he lost Yosenjus and all.

Maybe he'll get better when his time comes, but at this point, I'm not keeping my hopes high on him right now.

 

 

[Hallohallo]

[spoiler=Episode 71 and 72]It seems someone created pages in wiki for Episode 71 and 72 and I'm not sure if they are legit since I cant find the source

Episode 71
"The Sword of White Silver"

The next duel is between Yuya and Duel Chaser 227. Learning from his defeat against Jack , and realizing that he must make the audience and his opponent smile through his Entertainment Duels, Yuya accepts the challenge. However, the audience seems to be more excited about Duel Chaser 227's plays!

Episode 72
"Slaying the Dragon!! Yugo vs Sawatari"
http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_ARC-V_-_Episode_072

No description.

If they are true then oh boy Sawatari, I think you should retire as a character.

 

[~British Soul~]

[spoiler=Thoughts on previews n' junk]

At this point, I think Yuzu might lose and Serena might win.

 

I'm also expecting Sawatari to lose as well, just so I can see his reaction to having to do forced labour and say that he'll tell his dad about this, blah blah blah.

 

...If the above are true;

I remember 227, he was the guy that faced Yugo at the start of this arc.

 

 

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

[spoiler=71/72 thoughts]

OK, so Yuya ends up facing DC 227; as in the one that got trashed by Yugo after he got cocky.

Let's see how this turns out; given the Goyo monsters don't really work on Yuya's Deck because of Pendulum stuff.

 

Audience is more interested in DC227?

Might be a result of Yuya's performance against Jack, or because it's one of their officers playing.

 

-----

Yugo vs Sawatari?

 

Yeah, I think Sawatari's going to get his ass kicked if it's true.

We may not have seen his Deck in full thus far, but he hasn't proven himself since he got it.

 

Yugo, at least has a competent Deck + strategy (supposedly).

 

Another reminder, Sawatari? Your dad has NO influence on where you are, so if you end up doing forced labor + threaten to get him to do something, well it sucks for you.

 

 

[Dramatic Crossroad]

lol, that's a lot of spoilers

[spoiler=Tsukikage vs. Shinji]

Is it impossible for Jean-Michel Roger to lose it and cop Shinji midway though the duel?

 

Btw. they made an "error" in the preview: Tsukikage was supposed to be left handed, but he snatches the action card with his right... highly unlikely. 

 

 

[spoiler=Yuzu vs. Chojiro]

I think it would turn a cool entertainment duel and help Yuya that lost his phunk. Also Chojiro will lose, cause he's not interesting anymore.  

 

 

[spoiler=Selena vs. Tony]

Blue Cat, Purple Butterfly, Polymerization, Cat Dancer,... the boring usual. Every single time. Lazy writing.

 

 

[spoiler=Yuya vs. Security 227]

I think they went easy on Yuya by giving him this opponent. And how can they root for a generic goon after all Yuya did in the exhibition match? Too weird. 

 

 

[spoiler=Hyugo vs.Sawatari]

Sawatari needs further character development, or so they decided to teach him humility (with forced labor). He's always been a pushover, but i think he'll actually do good this time and lose with pride the least.

 

 

[~Faytl~]

[spoiler=previews and onward]

Hopefully this'll be a good time to see some new stuff out of Serena and Sawatari, see what their decks are fully capable of. Sawatari is losing for sure, but at least we're getting a full duel from him.

That leaves four duelists without a matchup: Dennis, Damon, Jean's goon, and Kurosaki. Wasn't expecting Shun and Dennis to square off again so soon, but I bet they face each other while Damon is the sacrificial lamb to big guy, to show how tough he is.

 

And while I thoroughly expect Sawatari to lose, we're getting a duel between the two most harebrained characters in the show. It'll at least be fun, hopefully.

 

 

[Pchi]

[spoiler=Rant]

I don't get it why are you all expecting or even hoping that Yuzu loses; I'm tired of the main female characters being downgraded in favour of secondary guys, and the fact Yuzu has got more plot importance than any of her predecessors would make it all the more jarring to have her lose at this point. Furthermore, there's little to no reason for Tokumatsu to stay on the game now that his character arc has been completed. Though I'm still aprehensive at the possibility of that happening, given the franchise's history...

Nevetheless, if she is to lose, then it should be at the climax of this arc, not at the beginning; that's what I hope, at least.

 

 

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Realistically, Tokumatsu's Deck is rather situational as hell, and if he doesn't draw cards properly, he's going to brick hard. 

Yuzu at least has access to Fusions, and a more stable strategy. 

 

She probably might win, given that, but let's see what the writers do. 

 

-----

To be fair though, Kotori did almost nothing in ZEXAL except for having one duel while possessed by a Barian card. 

[~British Soul~]

There's also the fact that roughly most of the words Kotori said in Zexal was "Yuma!". I didn't really like her as the main female lead tbh.

That and she shared the same English VA as Iris in Pokémon Best Wishes.

[Maeriberii Haan]

[spoiler=preview stuff]

Honestly? I think Tokumatsu's going to do a lot of good if he loses. I mean he's an influential enough figure for the commons, his presence down there might even incite a movement. And I kinda believe even if Yuzu underperformed Chojiro will throw the match off due to him actually knowing about the rumor.

 

Yuya and Selena will definitely win, that's a given. Yugo too, but really, Sawatari should start getting his act together and be actually competent for once. Show us something like his duel with Yuya in 31/32 dammit.

 

Him being sent into the underground facility would make shenanigans possible tho.

 

 

[~British Soul~]

[spoiler=Redact what I said previously]

Y'know what, I think Yuzu probs will win, and I wouldn't mind seeing a Yuzu/Serena match at some point this series (if it doesn't happen in this arc).

 

 

[Azure Wolf]

[spoiler=Thoughts]From what it seems like you could relate Arc-V to a game which has a Light/Dark gauge. Depending on the outcome of Yuzu's match, Yuya's 'gauge' could either go towards light (Entertainment) if Yuzu wins, or Dark (Berserk) if she loses. It probably is just speculation but it could be interesting if it was planned this way, each outcome of the duels regarding his friends shifts his 'gauge' to either side. His own match against Kachidoki for example would have shifted it towards Dark, leading to his summon of Dark Rebellion and his Berserk form, while the duel against his mother would have shifted it towards light, rekindling his entertainment dueling.

 

Regarding Sawatari, while it is most likely he could lose, he probably is going to have a large match against Yugo, they are intentionally keeping how powerful his Underworld Troupe cards are by only displaying some in uncompleted matches, having him lose or just there to keep him sort of relevant. That being said he still probably is going to lose to Yugo. It will probably boost his character along as well as help keep his ego in check (hopefully).

[spoiler= Response]

Not hoping for it. This is just what I think the writers are going to do because it feels like something up their alley. It still keeps Yuzu plot-important in that she can help get Gong out of the garbage facility and stuff. Also, I wonder if Yuzu will be introduced to Synchro monsters at all, or if her deck is going to remain fusion...

 

 

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

There's also the fact that roughly most of the words Kotori said in Zexal was "Yuma!". I didn't really like her as the main female lead tbh.

I didn't care much about her as the female lead either.

TBH, only female character I really cared about in ZEXAL was Rio/Merag, although Anna was also cool.

 

[spoiler=Response to VCR]

Melodious might remain a Fusion-oriented Deck, although we shall see.

If Yuzu somehow learns how to Synchro (assuming Yugo taught her the basics + if she retains any knowledge she has about performing them after seeing several instances), then she MIGHT get one.

 

It'll be interesting to see her wield Fusion & Synchro, given whatever she uses will eventually land up in our hands at some point.

 

Gongenzaka got Extra Deck after a while (although he asked Yaiba to teach him), so it's probably not far-fetched to think she will get it.

Then again, Yuya will eventually learn how to do it at some point.

[spoiler=Response-ception]

If i can recall right, Yuzu first learnt about the Fusion method and was taught by an original user (meaning one from that dimension). Then not long after, it came naturally for Yuya in his duel with Mieru. Yuzu obtaining her Fusion Summoning would be considered some kind of prerequisite for him to get it as well... 

But then again, it would be a stretch to call it a trend, since he managed Xyz on his own,... kind of, after absorbing Yuto's soul essence.

 

And regarding female characters, it would be cool if they made a protagonist, rather than just a female lead. This time we're seeing a lot more girls duel, that's a nice trend : DM had just Mai & Rebecca, GX took a step back (Judai and Yohan are totally gay, but that doesn't count), then 5Ds tried to compensate with Aki (she was all kind of awesome and the best that ever came since Kujaki Mai - strong, but without the rude part, vulnerable & reckless at times, impressionable and compassionate and curious and funny). + tomboy-ish Sherry. Zexal went all over the place - Anzu-like Kotori with generic personality, Tsundere Ryo and the violent cannon-wielding Psychodere Anna. (I seriously disliked her character, her color scheme was terribad and she put shame over the Kozuki name).

So in a way, Yuzu is OK to be a 2nd lead, we can have Selena be the crude and more determined counterpart, but i wonder what variety it leaves for Rin & Ruri (playful one & overly shy)?

I liked Rio/Merag as well, she was an interesting character, much better than Kotori.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Yeah, at least Rio did something useful in the anime; even if she ended up becoming a Barian for a while.

All Kotori did throughout the majority of ZEXAL was say Yuma's name over and over.

[spoiler=Response stuff]

Yeah, Yuzu learned how to Fusion Summon from Sora (who we found out is a Fusion Dimension agent).

 

Regarding having a female lead for future Yugioh series, it would be good in theory, but not sure a lot of fans will be thrilled with that fact.

Would be nice to have females be more proactive in the storyline, but to take over as the main protagonist is likely not a smart thing to do.

 

Aki and Sherry were pretty much the dominant females in 5Ds, followed by Ruka (although not until episode 17-18ish, and stopped at 143 against Aporia) and Carly to an extent (though the latter mostly dueled as a Dark Signer). Aki/Ruka were technically support protagonists because of their Signer status.

 

GX had Asuka/Rei (Alexis/Blair) for main stuff. In terms of non-important characters, that vampire Shadow Rider (who only fought three times in Season 1 if I remember properly) and Fontaine (only because Yubel possessed + turned her into a zombie) and that princess who played Frogs. (Because of ambiguity's sake, I'm not counting Yubel in here, though I suppose we can class Yubel as feminine).

(Episode's up now)

[mshends]

[spoiler=68 Raw]

Today’s episode was ok, duel wasn't that great (ninja’s tactics are not that impressive, just action-cards burn, and his ace monster’s effect is meh). Shinji’s monsters look boring, but his level 12 synchro does look pretty cool (but the effect is sheet).

It was interesting to see Shinji inspiring the audience. Reira really wants ninja boy to lose really badly, kinda feel for ninja (he hasn’t really done much this episode, and everyone wants him to lose XD). At the ending it is revealed that Reiji wants ninja boy to lose on purpose (what are you planning Reiji!!). That explain why ninja boy didn't use the action card to save himself during the last turn.

 

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

[spoiler=68]

Well, I gotta admit that was somewhat unexpected to a degree. 

I would've thought Tsukikage would win the match, but yeah Shinji's abilities were unknown (and it appears he had some skill)

 

Still, I give Tsukikage credit for disappearing off D-Wheel, grabbing Action Cards and returning to driving (hell, he was fueling his shuriken burn with those).

But yeah, I wish Shogun provided better stuff.

 

In Shinji's case, I was surprised he made a Level 12 Synchro, although yeah I think I expected it to be a lot stronger than 3K if it was going to take that much effort.

Though I guess weakening stuff up first, then going in for piercing damage stuff makes up for it; meh. (Urgent Tuning came around though)

 

Also Shinji managed to rally a lot of support from the Commons; guess he inspired them enough to try and defeat this class system.

Well, this means Crow and Shinji advance (and Reira was apparently happy for Shinji).

 

And then we hear Roger making snarky remarks in his office; likely about what to do about either of them.

(I still think he's a scumbag).

 

Although my interest lies in what the results turned out to be in the end; wait for the script.

 

 

[Timeline15]

[spoiler episode 68]

- Ok, Tsukikage is a badass. leaping of his d wheel to grab action cards and sprinting along the track xD

- I totally called that Shinji would win, but I never expected it to be because Tsukikage lost on purpose. was he swayed but Shinji's message, or Did Reiji instruct him to do this?

- I kinda feel sorry for him. Everyone's rooting for Shinji. Come on Reira, Tsukikage has been protecting you non stop since you got o this dimesion, then Shinji gives you candy one time, and suddenly he's the one you're rooting for?

- Reiji totally called the council out on their labour camp. Oh shiiiittt...

- Yuzu vs Chojiro next time. Another pretty obvious outcome, but all the matches so far this tournament have been. Hope there are some cool new melodious cards.

 

 

[Tinkerer]

[spoiler Lancers]Am I the only one annoyed that the Lancers have yet to win a match? I mean, they do need to win to get the council's approval, right?

 

I guess this also means we won't be seeing any more of Reira's cards anytime soon...
