evilfusion Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 He honestly shows what the Entertainment style should be about and his deck actually helps do that. Compared to Yuya's deck which becoming more and more focused around a quick defeat. Ever since Yuya and Yuto fused it is like Sawatari and Yuya have switched the way their decks function, Yuya going from entertaining to more raw strength, while Sawatari going from strength to entertaining. I think eventually Sawatari will end up like what some characters were to Jaden, like Kaibaman and the tag duel between Jaden/Alexis vs Hassleberry/Blair. A character which help steer Yuya back to the path of entertainment when he strays from it. I at least partially agree with this. Sawatari's nature is to be really hammy, and almost shamelessly so. That's why he was so entertaining prior to the Synchro arc. After his first loss, he started really showing off his hammy nature, and some of the humor was how other characters kept interrupting him. And now that we've gotten a chance to see how the Underworld Troupe seems to function, I sort of like the theme of the Deck, but not enough to care if they get released. His monsters are flexible and have manipulative effects, and his other cards support this concept. It's also why he looked so atrociously stupid when fighting against Security forces and such - the Deck works when he's properly augmenting his cards with his Continuous Spells. And he wasn't doing that, or his efforts to do so got crushed by other strategies. His Deck also seems primarily battle-focused. He doesn't seem to use burn effects, and his searchable Spells by Big Star's effect seem to do most of the special tactics, like bouncing cards, banishing monsters that battle with his, or recovering LP.

BlackBeartic Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I just watched this subbed and hold the phone. [spoiler=Regarding the Final Turn]After Mahagoita used it's effect combined with High Speed Re Level he the proceeded to use CWSD's effect.HOW. There was no activation by either of Sawatari's monsters. Am i missing something or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 At least Sawatari got redemption, AND we see more of his Deck, so there's something.He got a few remarks for his opening speeches, but people loved him at the end (along with Yugo). One thing to note, what would happen if a match ended in a draw? Likely won't happen, but would both of them go underground or they advance to Round 2. [spoiler=72 sub]Sawatari got redemption, although Mahagoita was pretty much Destiny Draw / plot stuff.That, and Re-Level to put Sawatari's 4s into range of negation. But yeah, even Sawatari mentioned Yugo's resemblance to Yuya; although he wasn't too surprised (probably since Yuzu told him). Also, he said he'd make a note about the Dimensional War; never happened, but meh. [spoiler=Response to above]Yeah, Sawatari didn't activate anything.UNLESS...Clear Wing got a new effect that allowed to blow up Level 5+ stuff without them triggering.

~British Soul~ Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Another thing to note, is that the "Underworld Troupe" are now "Abyss Actors" which was shown when Opening Ceremony was activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yeah, I noticed that. Although we don't know what Makai Gekidan exactly translates into; maybe "Abyss Actors" is the intended translation by the creators.Or this ends up being the dub's name once they get to them (Maybe/maybe not). However, it shouldn't make too much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 [spoiler=72 stuff]So since Yuya's the one controlling Yugo here and made him forgot to tell the people about the war, would it mean if they got caught off guard by Academia it would be Yuya's fault? (not that they'd listen anyway but still) Also dammit, Shin Neo New Nuevo Atarashii Sawatari was doing hella great but then lolaction card happened. Really felt like he's cheated out of a win. Can't they show Yugo being competent instead of relying on that action card instead if they want him to beat Sawatari? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't they show Yugo being competent instead of relying on that action card instead if they want him to beat Sawatari? [spoiler=Response]1. Yes, we can hold Yuya responsible for this, given the circumstances. Although he did win his fight against DC227 so they MIGHT listen to him now. However, whether or not they'd listen to Yugo is also another thing. He won, so probably. 2. Yeah, Action Card screwed Sawatari out of a win. [spoiler=Also, that note I made about the play; it technically was legal]Mahagoita tributes self to give all monsters on the field that effect.Because Re-Level activated, it boosted the Level of Sawatari's stuff, then did so again via their effects.

Sleepy Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 It just occurred to me that everybody is gonna freak out if/when Yuuya and Yuugo duel each other and combine. There would be issues with not finding someone to send underground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Felt like the entire last portion of the duel being this awkward is because of them trying to compress the duel into one episode mid-way. Then again, making this a two parter will just force them to reveal more speedroids/AA so maybe that wasn't the case. At least this is not as ridiculous as Kali Yuga.

BlackBeartic Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 [spoiler=Response to Sakura]So apparently Mahagoita's effect when it tributes itself gives it's effect to all monsters on the field (it's an activation effect apparently)So when High Speed re level activated the effect that synchro gave was activated which allowed CW to do it's shenanigans.Idk how to feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk how to feel Well, I'd probably call "blatant plot device".Mahagoita just happened to do that sort of thing that makes said Level bump mandatory, thus triggering it.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Clear_Wing_Synchro_Dragon_(anime) Anime one begs to differ.1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monstersDuring either player's turn, when a Level 5 or higher monster on the field activates its effect, or when a monster effect is activated that targets a Level 5 or higher monster(s) on the field: You can target that monster; negate that effect, and if you do, destroy it, then this card gains ATK equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK until the end of this turn. (Yeah, lack of OPT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateIRS Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I'm aware of the lack of OPT. However, it still isn't legal because of how Trigger Effects go on a Chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBeartic Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yeah I must be missing something.Simultaneous destruction by CW? Something seems fishy there. I feel like the way anime CWSD is worded allows for some shenanigans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 It's either that, or the game mechanics work differently in the anime than they do in real life.But yes, Clear Wing's effect here is probably worded so it can negate multiple things in the same chain. * shrug * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 [spoiler=Episode 74-76 summary] Episode 74: Mask of the Clown 20th September 2015 The last match for the first round of the Friendship Cup is between Kurosaki and Dennis, both Lancers. Against Kurosaki who suspects his identity, Dennis plays in his usual Entertainment style. However, when Kurosaki forces him into a corner, Dennis suddenly summons a new monster that surprises everyone! Script: Tamura Ryou/Animation Director: Lee Sung-Jin, Choe Byeong Hui Episode 75: Curse of the Resistors 27th September 2015 Dennis revealed his true identity in front of everyone. The other members of Lancers could not believe their eyes at such a revelation. Kurosaki's wrath and hate reaches a zenith. While witnessing Dennis and Kurosaki's duel unfolding, the Yuuto within Yuya starts to respond. Script: Tamura Ryou/Animation Director: Kawamura Yuya Episode 76: King's Gambit 4th October 2015 The City Council and Security finally clash together over the issue of whether to take over the custody of Dennis or not. Although the City Council manages to seal away Security's powers, its leader Roger announces a new plan called "King's Gambit". On the other hand, "that teenage boy" appears before Dennis, who is injured thanks to the duel. Script: Kamishiro Tsutomu/Animation Director: Iguchi Chuuichi So yeah, that's happening.

~British Soul~ Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 [spoiler=Reaction to the summaries]- So they did push the Dennis/Kurosaki duel back and we're finally get to see Dennia' true colours n' junk... and we all know it'll involve that Poly that we know he has in his deck, and yeah I can see why Yuto would react when this revelation comes to light (with the Xyz/Fusion dimension sheet). Though regarding episode 75, with Kurosaki's anger n' sheet, we haven't seen him be like that since his duel with Sora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 [spoiler=stuff regarding the summary]there's someone that Dennis'll meet in episode 76, but who? The summary refuses to say anything aside from saying that certain teenager, so I wonder if that might mean yuri's appearing soon or not. Or maybe Sora? or heck, maybe Yuya/Yuto? Also King's gambit intrigues me. It's a certain chess opening play, but i'm not that well-versed in chess to know what that might imply. Anyway, [spoiler=another thing]-Director Ono confirms that the Lancers will go to Xyz and Fusion dimension in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 [spoiler=Summary response]Sounds more or less what I expected. Shun had already suspected Dennis a bit in their first Duel, and we knew he was super-suspicious the moment he had drawn that Polymerization card against Serena, and it was confirmed he knew Yuri soon afterwards, so yeah, I'd expect Dennis to eventually go all-out against Shun and reveal his true colors, just like Sora did against Shun. Sounds like Shun will win the Duel, and Dennis will get injured and should get sent to the underground, but Security wants to arrest and interrogate him, perhaps? After all, he would be a REAL dimensional invader. And Yuri might show up in front of Dennis...that would be interesting. If these are legit, I'm very excited for them.

Although this probably means we see Dennis Fusion Summon, which indeed would be a shocker. Then again, it'd make that point of him drawing Fusion relevant.(Let's see how much it contributes to Mages, given how much popularity Yuya.dek seems to have gotten lately) 75 - Well, I can't say I blame Shun for getting to maximum anger here.Dennis is a Fusion agent, and responsible for what happened to Ruri and others in his dimension. Also, Yuto isn't a shocker either. Watch as this duel becomes a bloodbath. 76 - So Dennis loses, and we see Roger trying to make a move again.Why am I not surprised that he's still doing stuff behind the scenes. He reminds me of Danzou from Shippuden, except I hate Roger a hell of a lot more. 74/75 are going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 [spoiler=A thing about the winner of 75's match...]Felt odd that they didn't actually confirm who lost in the match. Maybe Dennis will win this one but still gets injured due to Shun being Shun and dropping bombs and buildings at him. Dennis'll be a runaway after the battle anyway though, so even if he lost he probably won't be sent to the underground facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Faytl~ Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 So, the anime text says "when a Level 5 or higher monster on the field activates its effect". But Sawayari's monsters didn't activate their effects! How did Clear Wing manage to negate them and destroy them? Am I missing something? Ugh, this is so confusing!I also gotta say I was very disappointed when Yugo summoned Mahagoita. Its effect was very underwhelming. I expected a Synchro Tuner, and all I got was an uber-situational card (which would've been fine, Yusei did that a lot so it makes sense that Yugo does too since the Yu boys apparently mirror the protagonist of the respective anime's fighting style) which only helped for some unexplainable shenanigans with CWSD's effect.I guess that if Mahagoita will be released, it will actually turn the level of all monsters on the field to 5, including Xyz monsters, maybe? Since its effect seems to be geared towards letting CWSD use its effect even on monsters that should be safe from it.The way Mahagoita works is that it gives a mandatory effect to all monsters to increase their levels whenever something else increases them. So they gained the ability from Mahagoita, and were forced to activate that effect when Speed Relevel resolved, making them level 5 when the eff activated. Hope that clears up your confusion.

Still doesn't change how he managed to negate two monsters with Clear Wing. Neither the real effect nor the anime effect gives room for simultaneous effect activation (which also isn't really a thing and they go on a chain anyways).
