Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 [spoiler=Stuff on script]Didn't watch the preview for next episode because again, lag between stuff. A lot of the script stuff is what I expected it to be, however the Council didn't seem to be pleased here after the reveal.Although, Reiji predicted one of Academia would come around, so he knew about it. Needless to say, it was expected, and they all didn't see it coming.(Except Reiji) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pchi Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 [spoiler=74]-Dennis has shown that he is able to OT3K with his performages reaching up to 15500 damage in a turn-RUM that double rank, trap for revealing cards in hand, man shun never run out of plot device cards....-Shun get a level 1 hand trap, i guess it will save him next episode-Dennis play fusion, new performages!- oh wait, What the heck!? ancient gear??-Entermate Hunting Game begun and there goes my favourite arc V character...i was hoping dennis is a some kind a double agent and not on the side of evil....also why all the fusion invader that went to standard so good in pretending to be an entermate duelist?....i'm starting to suspect yuya's dad has somethingto do with academia [spoiler=Long reply + Comments]It was very unlikely he'd turn out to be a double agent, given his internal monologues during the Battle Royale arc and fear of being found out; also, he didn't look happy to hear that Yuuri had failed to capture Yuzu.A few details that called my attention: Trapeze Magician apparently sacrificing himself out of his own initiative to save Dennis, despite being only a hologram (makes me wonder if this so-called Real Solid Vision "technology" has supernatural origins); Dennis being distraught at his partner's "death", despite it being a Xyz monster, which could be a sign he's still not beyond redemption; and that shot of Trapeze's mask falling to the floor before dematerializing, which fits Dennis' symbolic unmasking referred to by the title.Now for a bit of fan wank, I suspect that Dennis might not look down upon Xyz users as much as his comrades from Academia; he might have a fascination or even admiration towards Xyz not unlike many empires had to other cultures they conquered. I'm also under the impression that he may already know Sora, perhaps even playing a big brother/mentor/senpai role towards him, judging from his reaction to Yuuya and Gongenzaka telling him about the boy attacking Standard aided by the Obelisk Force back during the Battle Royale. Not to mention both calling Gongenzaka "Gon-chan".A bit off-topic, but I predict that Wing Raiders, unless they introduce a new archetype like they did with Highspeed Riders - and even that may not be an impediment - , will probably feature Dennis' new Entermage cards alongside Yuuto and Shun's. But if a Fusion-themed pack does get released, I bet it'll include Serena's cards as well as the new Ancient Gear cards introduced this series, including Dennis'.

It's not the first time it's happened. If I remember correctly, Dark Magician did the same for Yugi during his match with Arkana/Pandora in the manga.Although, I do not remember if it had occurred in the anime also, or in any other fights within the franchise. 3. Considering he also uses Xyz, I would expect Dennis to not be as discriminating towards Xyz users as Sora and whoever else in Academia.He'd be a hypocrite for hating Xyz users, but yet also being one himself. Dennis might just like destroying the Xyz Dimension users, like Shun. 4. They likely will introduce a new Archetype in Wing Raiders, but wouldn't be surprised if they release some of his stuff here.Otherwise, it might end up in the general packs. @Beartic: Not really, but yeah that thing is pretty damn huge.Although, it's 4500 ATK so you'd expect it to be titanic. Oh wait, IRL? Yeah, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 So, while doing stuff earlier, I had a thought about what this series is about. [spoiler=The Theme]The only elements we've had from episode 1... are entertainment... And LOSS. And the entertainment desire is due to said loss. He lost his father. So to make up for it and make him proud, he worked his hardest to entertain others... even if it meant making a fool of himself juust to hide his pain. He feels like he's out of place (Odd-Eyes), but he has dreams for the future (Gazers), that he can make the world a better place. So we move on. He meets a new friend; A fusion user. He meets more people... A cook, a mystic, an egotistical Jack Spicer who changes decks a lot, someone cold but far above him that he strives to reach, and more. He even meets someone he sees very much as himself. Someone like him, but a bit more cold to the world. But then everything goes south. His fusion using friend is the villain, and he can't win him back. His love interest/best female friend gets lost in another dimension. The person he sees himself in goes away, though he still feels kindred spirits with him. His cook friend dies. The stoic guy he looked up to... is someone he now sees as his enemy. Someone he wants no parts of being like. And his hope (Xiangsheng/Creation) and his rage (Xiangke/Destruction) are all he has to fight with. He charges forward with the few he has left... And a new friend! A fellow performer, an exchange student! So they all go to rescue the girl and try to stop the villains... And they still end up apart ,even his best friend. Sure, he meets new friends... but horrible things happen. Though, at his lowest, they meet up again. And even in the depths, he manages to warm the heart of a man who had long since given up on life. On joy. And all the others down there with them. They manage to escape, but they're roped into a tournament... That's do or die. In a society that he feels is corrupted to the core, Yuya can't make them smile. Only by being ruthless can he even earn a grin from them. So he has to harden his heart. He has to be vicious. Even his innocence has to be lost... in order for people he doesn't know to see him. To acknowledge him. He tries his best to stand out in their competitive world, despite the pain it brings him to be so hard. All while knowing MORE people are leaving his life. There's hope for them, but he had been without hope before a friend gave him more. And let's not forget... Another friend betrayed him. One who, apparently, never cared about him in the first place. His fellow performer; Dennis. Yet another person who wasn't going to stay in his life. Who used him. Who stabbed him in the back. And it appears his love interest will soon be abused horribly. And that's just our main character. Yugo, Shun, Yuto, Reiji, Reira, Tsukikage, Yuya's mother, Yuzu... all of them lose throughout the story or before it. So much loss, despite all the gains.

Toffee. Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Heres a thought... What if Arc-V slaps us all in the face, and Yuya winds up being the series' final boss of sorts?I mean, given the details that Black gave us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if Arc-V slaps us all in the face, and Yuya winds up being the series' final boss of sorts?I mean, given the details that Black gave us.That would indeed be a plot twist if it occurred, given how long it'll be before the series ends.But yeah, a lot of the stuff does make sense + boils down ARC-V so far into a nutshell for people who cbb to watch the 70+ episodes so far to catch up. It's likely Yuzu will get creamed by Sergey in the coming days, but to what extent is unknown.Given Black's description (and the previews), probably very brutally given Sergey's backstory so far (and what happened to Damon).

[spoiler=About mr mcfield]yeah dennis is certainly different than sora that he's not completely looking down on xyz monster and user, he doesnt even seem angry when shun keep surviving and countering his move, but him being double agent or just pure invader is still doubtful, i mean, unlike sora that slowly getting angrier and showing his evil side while shun keep resisting his attacks, dennis change in personality is so sudden and drastic that there's possiblity that its also not his real personality, his reaction when he draw the fusion card is kind of strange, he doesnt show any anger or evilness, and when he fusion summon, he doesnt do any special gesture thats all other character in arc V do when fusion summoning his fusion spell is also strange, it specifically requires xyz monster to work (based on dennis description when using it),showing that dennis has link to both dimension,and seeing academia only view xyz as prey for their hunting game, its unlikely that they made a fusion spell that require them to use xyz monster about his connection with sora, i still confused on their replationship, since dennis is pretty close with yuuri and can command obelisk force, he should have higher status in academia than sora, but sora seems to be smiling when he's watching the duel, since he's still obsessed with defeating shun himself, he shouldnt be since if dennis is his higher up (which mean stronger than him), its likely that dennis would defeat shun, giving him no chance to fight shun again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 At the time of posting, the subs have not been uploaded; although I will assume it's due to academics or other things on the ends of the subbers. Otherwise, there exists the script, which is relatively accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he IS interested in Xyz and with Sakaki Yusho's dueling, heck, he might even volunteered for this mission for all we don't know. Nevertheless he is still loyal to it (maybe from pressure or fear, cause you know, they invade/obliterate dimensions). If we're to draw a paralell with Sora, which had trouble keeping his composure and cheerfulness while in Standard, he might struggle with being a vile sadistic duelist like most Academia ones (the true mask to actually hide his fascination with entertainment dueling). Anyway, there were some hints that he loses instead or Shun (might have to check 75,76 summaries again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENMaker Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I don't remember enough of the original series to be 100% sure this is accurate to say but Dennis feels kind of like the Bakura of Arc V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakura himself was sweet, unassuming, quiet. Yami Bakura was a super sadistic prick. Sora's closer, and that's still not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm inclined to think that Akaba Leo won't use Ancient Gears despite the Obelisk Force and Dennis using them.And we can assume that Yuri's deck won't have anything to do with Ancient Gears either. [spoiler=Thoughts on 74 Subbed]- We knew from 59 that Shun was suspicious of Dennis given the latter's combat technique and how LDS doesn't teach them, and in this episode he noted the fact that Dennis tried to discourage Shun and gain the upper hand by rightfully assuming Shun had a RUM in is hand (hence him calling Shun predictable), another skill that LDS doesn't teach. Gee Dennis, get more subtle.- It seemed that Reiji and the Exec Council were in agreement that this match was noteworthy/compelling. (As does the viewers) They probs pushed the match back because of that reason.- Seemed as if Reiji had considered the possibility that the enemy had tried to worm their way into the Lancers.- After watching the subs, I just realised that Chaos Giant is level 10 because its materials has 10 heads in total.

Progenitor Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Calling it right now Dennis is gonna pull some Revolver Ocelot sheet and be like the triple double agent to everything that was all planned out by Reji like 3 years in advance because he apparently has the tactical prowess and foresight of freaking Garry Kasparov on the drug from Limitless.

BlackBeartic Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I kinda like how [spoiler=This was cool to me]Trapeze Magician reached out and protected Dennis from the bomb Revolution dropped. It's always cool when a monster interacts with the duelist like that. [spoiler=ALSO]Revolution Falcon's Tail BurnerSick as hell man and combined with that effect of reducing monsters to 0 (seriously that looks so cool with just pouring flames from the jet onto the monsters) we've got a deadly bird here.

Yeaaaah.I noticed the sub this time straight-up said "Magician of the Sky", so I took note of that, as well. Between the fact that he uses cards that support Yuya's cards, is a foil and genuinely seems to enjoy entertaining, and that, I think he may be connected to Yusho, as well. The problem is that, given his inner dialogue, we know he works with Yuri... but doesn't that just mean that Yuri, too, may work with Yusho?

Toffee. Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Alright, heres a silly thought... What if, as an in-joke, Yuri's monster has 'Hero' in the name? So it's '[name]-Hero, Fusion Dragon'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kyo- Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 though it kinda clashes with the fact that she was found as a child by Shuzou, and Yusho only disappeared three years before the plot started.when the hell was that stated?
