Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 On a not so different note, haven't Yuya's (imperfect) forays into Extra Deck summons (Fusion and, to be seen, Synchro) happen due to Yuzu in some fashion?Fusion was due to Yuzu's influence, yes.Synchro, we don't know yet, but probably formed after he realizes the gravity of the situation he's in within Synchro. As for Xyz, I would likely attribute it to him absorbing Yuto and all that stuff.Though he has no problems Xyz Summoning, and DRXD is good. I would probably expect Yuya will pick up another Xyz or two later on; perhaps even a Synchro. ---------On a sidenote, we all wanted Reiji to get another Synchro for his Deck; so far, we haven't gotten one.

~British Soul~ Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 On a sidenote, we all wanted Reiji to get another Synchro for his Deck; so far, we haven't gotten one.Well, the upcoming D/D/D Structure does have 43 cards in it so one of the Extra Deck cards could be a new synchro.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 That's true.Also need to see if Reiji will use the new Pendulums they got. Alexander isn't too bad, but new Synchro needs to be good; if there are going to be any.(Then again, they'd probably need another Tuner besides Howling, but what do I know about D/D's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 To be fair, Reiji hasn't duelled on-screen in like 6 months, and I think he probs will use the new things (I don't see a reason why he wouldn't), suppose we'll have to wait and see.

Sleepy Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I just realized where I had seen that smile before, who would have thought that Gin Ichimaru (Bleach) would have survived his battle with Aizen and grown old as the leader of the city in Arc V's Synchro dimension.

BlackBeartic Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 [spoiler=Tuning Magician]Is kawaii as hell. Call me a weeb all you want but I think she looks adorable. [spoiler=79]Shinji actually looked a little threatening at the end there, but his mistake (whether it would've mattered or not) was underestimating tuning magician's effect (even if it is 100x worse in the anime).The level 8 synchro is currently the only BF monster I like tbh.Enlightenment Paladin :D oh boy was that good, beat shinji with his own power essentially.Also does anyone know what that maxx C like atk booster Shinji used was. That card seems REALLY good considering it pretty much forces your opponent to stop summoning to avoid attack boosts (and imagine it on a monster that couldn't be casteled) Anyways really happy Yuya finally shut Shinji up, he started to degrade into an annoyance mid way.

Βyakuya Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 [spoiler=Episode Thoughts] So yeah, I'm back to making my thoughts on Arc-V after being lazy af. Shinji is honestly getting a bit annoying. I dunno what really justifies him to say that all the commons should funk the system up, and the fact that he has weird hair out of the other commons and is friends with Crow is not enough to sympathize with his point. Even Shun, although edgy with mediocre dueling skills and similar problems, was much more of a likable character. Shinji's going to make Yuya look really bad for defeating him. But at the very least, Enlightment Paladin's effect to burn the ATK and how it was repelled back felt very symbolic of how Shinji's motivations are going to fall back on him. Yuya has vastly improved here. Aside from putting faith in Tuning Magician, it was clear that he could now come up with a clear strategy to beat Shinji. Monster Reborn actually had a debut and a proficient use, and Yuya even considered using the effect to bring back one of Shinji's Bee Force monsters. But nevertheless, Yuya did a good job wrapping it up and the steps leading up to Enlightenment's summon really did seem like an enlightenment. Tuning Magician might have some future implications, but it only seemed like it worked for that one Spell that helped boost ATK from an LP difference. But then again, she's mascot material cause she is cute af. So Roger might be considering to recruit Yuya? And Sora returns to tell Yuya the news. I hope this might smooth out the relationship ties between them and their affiliations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 [spoiler=Episode thoughts]Well, another instance where Yuya drawing an Action Card saves his ass...again.But he manages to Synchro Summon anyway, to the surprise of everyone (even Jack smiled a bit). Shinji has new Synchro [which we showed last week], and yeah he probably would've won.Though it also appears that he attacked Yuya's thing about smiles (which I can probably understand why). Yuya hasn't had to endure the hardships that Shinji has (maybe bar for his dad disappearing from existence three years prior to the series start for whatever reason), so of course, he'll have a different outlook. (Plus, smiles are things his parents wanted him to give to others; even Yuto says this). Shinji hates the Tops because of his own, and wants to bring about a revolution. In the end though, Shinji got his own monster's power reflected back on him, which implies that even if Shinji were to pull off a successful revolt, it would backfire pretty hard on him. Though yeah, Yuya got a bit smarter in this duel, I suppose. [spoiler=Tuning Magician]Is kawaii as hell. Call me a weeb all you want but I think she looks adorable. [spoiler=79]Also does anyone know what that maxx C like atk booster Shinji used was.

Sleepy Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 To be fair, Yuya wasted a turn when he initially Summoned Tuning Magician and decided to go for a 600 LP burn instead of Pendulum Summoning. He would have won before needing that Action Card had he awakened that Synchro right there. So I don't think that Action Card is harmful at all here, except for the downside of padding the episode up a little. Which I liked seeing the options of Monster Reborn so it was in a way worth it.

Pchi Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 [spoiler=Episode Thoughts]Shinji is honestly getting a bit annoying. I dunno what really justifies him to say that all the commons should f*** the system up, and the fact that he has weird hair out of the other commons and is friends with Crow is not enough to sympathize with his point. [spoiler=Reply]1% of the population holds 99% of the entire City's wealth. I think that's more than enough justification to rebel against the Tops. Moreover, it's been shown countless times onscreen that the Tops hold many privileges over the Commons, such as when everyone on the underground arena was arrested simply for watching the duels there, EXCEPT the Tops, even though they were doing the same thing. While the solution proposed by Shinji might not be the best way to go about things, his motivations are pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[spoiler=Response]But any Commons with a sense of rebellion could do the same thing. It's just that Shinji had leverage because of the Friendship Cup and his skill. And also, even though the Tops are responsible of holding 99% of the city's wealth, I wouldn't say that they are totally bad people, but there's no doubt what Shinji is doing is causing some insecurity within them. Like what evilfusion said earlier, the Tops wpuld eventually fall down and end up fighting for the top again while the Commons fight for power dominance and the class system will be reestablished under possible corrupt or justified rule. Sure both sides have their bastards, but sooner or later both sides should aim for negotiations and fairness, and not complete domination over another. Before I would eventually and accidentally step into government theory, I would say that the proper say to save the Synchro Dimension would be to dissolve the class system by overthrowing JMR's security platoon. Then eventually, Commons would at least be not so oppressed anymore and eventually would be on level with the Tops and get accepted in their lifestyle.

King K. Azo Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 [spoiler=Episode Thoughts] F*** ACTION CARDS!!!!Seriously, I think you all heard me rant enough about these. Anyways, at least Shinji lost to a Synchro Monster. Granted, he would have won three times over if it wasn't for ACTION CARDS!!!! [spoiler=Magician Theory] This has already probably been thought up of, but I think each of the pendulum Magicians represent someone close to Yuya (or Yuto, explanation later.)Let's look at Timegazer and Stargazer. Timegazer looks like his dad. Stargazer looks like Jack Atlas (no, seriously, blond hair, blue eyes, same clothes. Makes me think Jack is the dimensional counterpart of Yushou.)Timesword makes me think of with Sora or Sam. I lean towards Sora though.Destruction and Creation Magician... people used to say Yuya and Yuzu, but I personally think Yuto and Ruri. Hear me out. Yuya and Yuto look 'similar', so it's easy to switch the two out. But the fact Destruction Magician allows more Xyz scum Summoning to happen, so I lean towards Yuto. And Yuya may not have not met Ruri, but who's to say Yuto is not manipulating the pendulum pendant? The fact Creation allows for more Xyz scum Summoning makes me think Ruri.Of course, there's no Gongenzaka Magician, because Yuya's a horrible, horrible friend. Unless my theory of him actually being Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon is correct.Also, random note, Enlightement Paladin looks like Yoshou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Maybe if Action Cards were used more actively in spicing people's offenses and combos in duels, and not during BS "heshouldhavedied" moments, then I would let the writers get away with lazy ass deus ex machina sheet once in a while. Especially when they determine the outcome of a duel greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[spoiler=Response]Yes, we know that you're getting tired of Action Cards.And quite honestly, they've been saving players from getting their asses beaten up; especially shown with Yuya through this whole duel. First Action Card from last episode blocked Yuya from being killed from Azusa doubling damage from that Level 1's burn effect; I forgot the name.Next one triggered from the Graveyard, and blocked Hama's 2100 burn damage. Then again, maybe it would help if the writers let Shinji and co. use Action Cards also; it can't be only Standard/Lancers using them.Hell, even Jack used one during his fight. If this were a regular Turbo Duel [no Action Cards + just Speed World Neo], then Yuya would've been dead quite some time ago. (Still wondering how things would be if they had retained the 5Ds Speed World, and all that other stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pchi Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 [spoiler=Response]But any Commons with a sense of rebellion could do the same thing. It's just that Shinji had leverage because of the Friendship Cup and his skill. And also, even though the Tops are responsible of holding 99% of the city's wealth, I wouldn't say that they are totally bad people, but there's no doubt what Shinji is doing is causing some insecurity within them. Like what evilfusion said earlier, the Tops wpuld eventually fall down and end up fighting for the top again while the Commons fight for power dominance and the class system will be reestablished under possible corrupt or justified rule. Sure both sides have their a******s, but sooner or later both sides should aim for negotiations and fairness, and not complete domination over another. Before I would eventually and accidentally step into government theory, I would say that the proper say to save the Synchro Dimension would be to dissolve the class system by overthrowing JMR's security platoon. Then eventually, Commons would at least be not so oppressed anymore and eventually would be on level with the Tops and get accepted in their lifestyle. [spoiler=Re-Reply]Yeah, any Common could do the same, so why not Shinji? Specially since he's got such a perfect opportunity to further the cause. And while I agree that probably not all the Tops are total bastards, that still doesn't excuse their complete dominance over the Commons, which Shinji's revolution aims to free the latter from. It's not so much about who's the bad or the good guy as it is about a category exploiting and abusing another one - even if the Commons were all evil, that still doesn't excuse them being treated like sheet just because they aren't rich enough. And while it may be easy for us to analyze the whole situation from a neutral perspective since we're distant from there, let's try to put ourselves in their shoes: they've been treated like sheet their whole lives as if they were outcasts even though they're the majority of City's population. They've been told if they worked hard enough, they'd be able to change that scenario, and if they weren't, they'd just be told they didn't try hard enough. They've been told they live in an equal opportunity society, where it'd only take your own efforts to define how well would you fare there - and yet, Tops are given special privileges that allow them to bypass law, while Commons are explicitly held back so that they don't ascend in the social hierarchy. What's worse is that's not even a caste system like the one found in India - that's a supposedly egalitarian society who turns out to be royally screwed up not because of law or tradition, but because their whole economic system, aided by a twisted competitive mentality, works in a way that generates extreme misery. So, while it's a possible a revolution can lead to such an outcome, I don't think we've got any right to condemn the Commons for wanting to overthrow the Tops and change their society by force. They're MAJORLY pissed-off - and with reason. And while obviously the revolution would bring upon a lot of bloodshed and chaos, it might not necessarily mean killing all the Tops as much as re-distributing their wealth. And real life examples of those kinds of revolution for the most part led to a lot of bullshit and atrocities, looking at the messed up way capitalist society works, at the very least, one could easily understand why they'd go to such lengths.

Lizardonx Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 [spoiler=]Yeah I didn't like how they're trying to make us feel sorry for the Tops by showing them being scared. Maybe if they didn't force 99% of the people into extreme poverty while you indulge in massive wealth and waste the entire time they wouldn't be so pissed off as to want to revolt. Let's be honest here the idea of advancing in this society is a lie. From what we know Jack is the only person ever who managed to be promoted to a top from a common, no one has ever done it before the friendship cup started and even then it took seven years for one to actually win. Furthermore the way the system is setup means that Jack is only a top because he's the current King, which means one loss and he's going to be sent right back down again, which strongly implies that the tops will only ever tolerate one common at a time rising above their station and only as a figurehead to reduce the tension that their greed created. People defending the tops are essentially the same sort of people who would defend the Jim Crow laws and the heinous practices of the early industrial revolution.

Maeriberii Haan Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 [spoiler=Regarding Common vs Rares...I mean Tops]Tbh, it's one of the biggest weakness of the arc.The writers failed to actually portray either side as sympathetic.Yes Commons are suffering, but what we've seen of the nameless people was pretty much them not being much different than the tops.Shinji would've been easier to swallow if we know more sympathetic commons other than him, the kids, crow, and Yugo. The tops are alsokinda one-dimensional so far, bar the named characters and even then we still don't get more reason why they should be pitied for when therevolution/dimensional war wreck their society.It works to establish Synchro as a shitty place to live, but it's...well, it's not enjoyable to watch as a narrative.

~British Soul~ Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 FINALLY got around to watching the episode [spoiler=Tuning Magician]Yeah, it looks cute as funk, I don't see how anyone can disagree with that. [spoiler=Thoughts on 79 RAW]- First of all, I felt the audio was a bit off whilst watching the episode- Surprise surprise, Yuya got his ass saved by an action card again. I mean if it weren't for it, Shinji would've won that duel a few turns ago- It was nice seeing Yuya considering his options for Monster Reborn (which was later confirmed to be reprinted in the Millennium Box for OCG)- Everyone certainly was surprised to see Yuya Synchro Summon that's for sure.- When Enlightenment Paladin destroyed Shinji's monster and used its eff to win the duel, if Enlightenment Paladin had its IRL effect in the anime, then Shinji would've still had 550 life points remaining. That aside, it does imply that if Shinji started a revolution, then it probs would backfire on him. Oh and the Tops were relieved to see him lose. (To be fair, imo his character went downhill after the Facility, though I said that previously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexanort Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 [spoiler=79]-Yuya's strategy when he used match pump is to summon a pendulum monster, which will be destroyed and then use extra shooter to burn 900, but if that happens, wouldnt he lose the duel since shinji's monster can attack twice and doraneko can only negate damage once? good thing the destiny draw fail and give him tuning magician instead -Couldnt yuya win with dark rebellion instead of resurrecting tuning magician for some unknown monster?, i know it wouldnt convey yuya's point and he needed new card, but still.... -Like the previous episode...shinji's burn effect are really...really slow.....thus allowing yuya to get the action card needed to survive -Yuya's reversal strategy on this duel are using tuning magician to burn himself and heal shinji, widening the LP gap for Gap power, which is ironicconsidering that his strategy is exactly the same as sergey's.... overall pretty decent episode, still there's several holes in the duel script, also give yuya a trap already!..... people are starting to get tired of him surviving with spot-on action cards every time....

evilfusion Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'm not too happy with the Duel in this episode, mostly because they gave Yuya a Spell Card that let him draw a card, but locked down Summons for the turn. This means it literally has no purpose in this scenario except to force the Duel to last another turn. He could have topdecked Tuning Magician normally and won the exact same way normally. It SORT OF makes sense, but it's just really poor (Duel) writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[spoiler=Response]1. Yes, he would've lost if he had drawn a Pendulum and increased Shooter's burn damage. 2. If he didn't revive Tuning (and went for Salutiger), Yuya would have 500 LP and Shinji at 3200; keeping the difference at 2700.DRXD 1 mat detach - Hama (ATK 4000 -> 2000); DRXD (ATK 2500 -> ATK 4500)DRXD 2 mat detach - Hama (ATK 1000); DRXD (ATK 4500 -> 5500) Total damage is 4500, so yeah Yuya could've still won in this regard if he had made DRXD, and it wouldn't result in people wondering how the hell he got a Synchro out of who knows where. (Wouldn't be as much as Enlightenment/Gap + burn, but still good enough) 3. Yeah, burn is too slow (Hit is weak). 4. It is indeed ironic that Yuya adopted Sergey's strategy to pump Gap Power. 5. It's been a while since Yuya has even used a Trap Card; nowadays resorting to Action Cards to save his ass in certain cases [or random P-pals that only have that niche purpose to block certain amounts of damage) But as you probably figured out, a lot of us are indeed getting tired of Yuya's situation with Action Cards. I don't mind him using them, but would be better writing if he didn't happen to pull them at the moment his ass is going to be creamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
