[Atypical-Abbie]

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....

I doubt he would win that turn, and he had very litte LP, probably didn't want to take that chance for the next turn.

[spoiler: Episode 79]

On Action Cards:

I didn't mind them early on, because:

A) Everyone used them.

B) They weren't used only in near-loss situations.

That being said, I didn't mind Encore in this episode. It's better than him grabbing another shitty-ass Action Card.

 

Anywho, I really liked this episode. It just felt... Fresh, when compared to the other most recent duels. This duel was pretty back and forth, and the Tuning Magician LP gap strategy was quite cool, especially with the addition of Enlightenment Paladin.

 

Seeing Monster Reborn was quite unexpected, honestly (even though I'm pretty sure every other main character has it). How many revival cards does that give Yuya now?

 

 

[UltimateIRS]

I doubt he would win that turn, and he had very litte LP, probably didn't want to take that chance for the next turn.

 

He actually would win though, anime Dark Rebellion racks up 4k damage with two uses of its effect against 3k ATK.

I feel like a fool for forgetting the name of the card that Yuya added back to his hand with Enlightenment's effect

 

[spoiler=Thoughts on 79 Subbed]

At least the audio was back in line

- So even though Shinji is willing the Commons to start a revolution, JMR believes it won't happen on the grounds that because the Tops had oppressed them this long, the Commons are all bark and no bite, and given the nature of the society, it isn't surprising that he'd think that tbh.

- Ofc Shinji would attack Yuya's stance on making people smile, believing that the Commons will only smile once they have defeated the Tops, ofc we know that there would be repercussions if Shinji succeeds in a revolution.

- Crow mentioned in his head that he once put his hopes in Jack, ofc we know that after reaching the heights of the Tops, he didn't do a thing even though Jack could've changed things.

[spoiler=Response]...What exactly could he do? His position as King seems to be mostly a figurehead celebrity while the Council Reiji is dicking about with run everything.

[spoiler=Response]

If anything, he could've made proposals for changes within the city, but yeah there isn't much he can do if the Exec Council simply ignores it, though I suspect that he knew that already.

[spoiler=Jack]

It's still a mystery what happens in Jack's head, except the fact that strong cards and opponents give him powerboners. 

 

I believe Sam misinterpreted Jack's gesture to him, supposedly it was intended as empowerment like "You can reach the top too, like i did!", and not "You're useless common trash!", too bad. We've seen they also implemented some of Yusei's characteristics into him - he pays respect to every and any card (judging from his reaction to Yuya's speech). Nevertheless i cannot understand him - he is an opportunist/survivalist that accomplished something and won against the odds, does he want this flawed system to prevail, is he waiting for commons to follow his footsteps and have the courage to take what's theirs, is he annoyed by the fact that the commons grew weak-willed?! What's up with him?.

[spoiler=Response]

We all believed that Sam misinterpreted Jack's gesture when he gave him Tuning Magician because like Yuya said, every card has a purpose. (Realistically speaking, that isn't the case) I agree though, I think the writers need to flesh out Arc-V Jack's character and I suspect he will at some point in this arc, because yeah he is a mystery.

[spoiler=Response]

His 5Ds incarnate had that idea pre-Fortune Cup, so probably carryover.

Though they likely incorporated his later attitude into the mix, well after the episode where he uses Trust Guardian.

 

But yes, Sam mistook Jack's giving him Tuning Magician; on the surface, it is weak Level/stat-wise, but shown in this episode, it can do great things if you can use it properly.

 

I will assume that they want us to assume this is a similar Jack Atlas to the one from 5Ds, but we know that isn't the case right now.

Well, we'll have to see how he really is.

 

 

 

Ah yes, my sub thoughts.

 

[spoiler=79]

• Yuya made another smiles speech again, though Shinji told him off (he'll smile when Tops are dead/toppled).
  • Though, it appears he understands why Shinji hates the crap out of Tops.
• I think it's pretty much standard now that Melissa Claire and a good chunk of the audience take cards at face value depending on their Level/power, unless proven otherwise. (Makes you wonder if she can even play)
• More Action Cards in this episode, and again, Shinji should've been able to use Action Cards in this duel. Can't just be Yuya using them all the time.
• Crow talked about having put hope into Jack to change things, but he didn't do anything upon becoming King. (Might be due to the Council's influence over things)
  • Maybe he'd do something if he could, but at present, we don't know.
• JMR response to the Commons is not surprising.
• Yuya made a Yusei reference to "every card has a purpose". (Well, that applies most of the time; there are some cards that are just simply crap + really just shitty pack filler).
• Jack smiled after Yuya Synchro Summoned...hmm, perhaps Yuya found out one of those things Jack thought he lacked.

 

A note about Melissa; at present, she really doesn't do anything worth noting, aside from being the MC of the Fortune Cup.

Again, I'd mention that even Carly had a bigger role in her respective series than Melissa does here. (Then again, we don't know how good Melissa is in terms of reporting).

 

Maybe she'll do something later, but right now, eeh.

 

 

[ENMaker]

[spoiler=79]

Thought Yuya's "every card has a purpose" and top-decking Monster Reborn was quite Yugi-esque.

If Roger would stop fiddling with chess pieces attempting to look intelligent and cunning I'd literally no longer hate him.

The ridiculous myriad of ways Yuya avoided losing was just stupid really. Avoided defeat 5 times through a combination of action cards and his own shite, it's honestly ruining his duels in some ways because whenever he's in danger you know it's action card bullshit time.

[spoiler=Stuff]

I think a lot of us can agree on this point.

Action Cards are fine and all, but yeah there just happens to be a convenient one for him whenever his ass is on the verge of losing.

 

I suppose one can argue that other characters in this series have also had plot device cards that saved themselves from getting screwed over, but Yuya's is more pronounced thus far.

 

Then again, one can ask "where the hell did he get Enlightenment Paladin from?" because it surely didn't exist in Yuya's deck prior to this.

 

As noted earlier on, he could've very well used Dark Rebellion and accomplished the same results; plus that wouldn't seem strange, since he already had it.

Well, he would've dealt 4500 damage if he had gone with DRXD, as opposed to 4250 from Paladin (250 regular battle + 4000 burn).

 

 

[The Warden]

[spoiler=Action Cards]

The only really valid complaint when it comes to them is how they're the perfect out to the situation. You guys are only really focused on Yuya because he's the one who uses them the most, but it's not as if he's the only one guilty of convenient Action Card BS.

 

Need I point out that if not for the perfectly and conveniently specific Action Card, Jack would never have gotten off Reject Reborn and beaten Yuya? Or how about when Shun dodged Saw Leo's effect for an unnatural amount of time in order to grab the Mirror Barrier, that he could NOT have possibly known it would be, to save Rise Falcon from obliteration? It's not just Yuya you guys, it's just that he relies on Action Cards more due to being from Standard.

 

If you guys haven't noticed, unless you're from money you don't exactly get the best decks in Standard, and as such most if not all duelists there rely on Action Cards in some vein, bar those with abnormally powerful decks like Reiji. Compare them to Synchro decks, which are much sturdier due to not being able to rely on Action Cards. Standard decks are comparatively weaker, after all. Plus, you can say what you want, but if Yuya even had 1 scrap of S/T destruction Shinji would have have been funked.

 

In terms of Action Card use however, it's no surprise that the likes of Crow or Shinji don't use them. Seeing as how they're from Synchro, they're stubborn to an almost fanatical degree. They have no real desire to adapt to their situation AT ALL, and just prefer to whine and struggle against it. Jack used them because he's literally the only progressive person in the entire Synchro Dimension. And Security used it because they strive to have any advantage they can use to beat and capture their targets. Synchro is an exceedingly stubborn dimension that hates it when the status quo is disrupted, which is what Action Duels do.

 

All things considered, the only legit complaint I can field about Action Cards is that they're grabbed at the last second, and are perfect for their situation. HOWEVER! Really, the two Yuya used sound like they'd be perfectly practical as Action Cards. Effect damage negation and reusing Action Cards sound perfectly valid really. Granted, I would like it if Yuya went back to hoarding Action Cards like he used too. And besides, Action Cards are at least better than the infinite amount of filler used by every other protagonist. Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, Yuma. All of them are guilty of shitty one-off cards that saved their asses. At least Yuya only has shitty PPal cards compared to the other's shitty monsters AND backrow.

 

[Pchi]

Guys, I know we've been rendering his name like that since forever, but I checked the official site a while ago, and it appears that Jean-Michel's surname is supposed to be spelled "Roget", not "Roger", which actually makes sense, since it IS a real French surname, unlike the latter.

[~British Soul~]

That certainly makes sense to me, though I've been abbreviating his name anyway so it's of little concern to me.

[ENMaker]

Honestly didn't even know if Roger or whatever was his actual name as I don't remember it being said by anyone, just picked that up from people in the thread. So this makes no difference to me really.

I'm not sure if it's that much of a deal, lot of the names we memorize from the sub, cause.... idk. Even if the official site gives us canon names, we'll still use those that we're accustomized to. "Roger" is still a valid name, and since we have no knowledge if and what countries are there in the Arc-V worlds, it's OK. Not all Jéan people are French. not all Sergeis are Russian, the're just inspired or follow a certain stereotyping, since characters have to have names that are not gibberish. 

[evilfusion]

Really, the only reason Action Cards are acting so stupid in this arc is because the mechanic is merged with Riding Duels. They're not just cards scattered around the area randomly and you have to physically run around seeking them, something you're only really inclined to do in otherwise standing-Duels when situations start to get bad for your Field. In Riding Action Duels, you're always moving. And the cards are scattered in convenient spheres. Considering how fast you're driving, they're probably scattered REALLY far apart so you don't just pass a hundred of the damn things in five minutes.

 

In the previous round, they were in a stadium circuit. Therefore, both players had numerous chances to get Action Cards because they're not scattered so far apart - they're just positioned weirdly so you have to actively go after them or spot them at crucial points.

 

Because of how large the current round's loop seems to be, players not expecting to see Action Cards will probably not notice them until it's too late to act on them. Yuzu and Yuya, being from Standard and schooled in Action Duels, are more prone to noticing them and expecting them.

A lot of us are probably still going to call him Roger anyway, even with this relevation; not like it's stopped us from calling Yuto/Yugo by their official names shown on duel screens (Ute/Hyugo). Or just Jean-Michel or something.

[spoiler= Script 80]

Last Time’s Egao Count: 86

Yuya: Yuzu is still alive.
Trusting in Sora’s message, I shook off my doubts, and concentrated on my Duel with Shinji.
However, Shinji, who wanted to revolt against the Tops and stirred up the Commons, drove me into a corner with his brutal attacks.
And then…

Yuya: I see!
That’s what you want, huh?

Yuya: Lend me your power once more!
Tuning Magician!

Yuya: Synchro Summon!
Level-8! Enlightenment Paladin!

Melissa: How shocking! Yuya managed to Synchro Summon!

Shinji: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

(Opening Sequence)

Melissa: Like a surging wave, Sakaki Yuya overcame Shinji’s attacks and seized victory with a great reversal, and now, he has returned to the Duel Palace!

Sam: Yuya-san!

Yuya: Yuzu!

Tops 1: That was a magnificent Duel!

Tops 2: That noisy Common just kept shouting about revolution and revolt and such, and you did a good job shutting him up.

Yuya: Eh?

Commons 1: How dare he do that to Shinji…
He defeated our comrade…
Shinji was fighting for us Commons’ sake, and Sakaki Yuya crushed him. That kid’s our enemy!

Commons 2: No doubt about that!
He’s an insolent punk who’s trying to curry favor with the Tops!

Yuya: Enemy!? That’s not it!

Melissa: Hey, hey! We just had an awesome and jaw-dropping Duel!
Your quarrelling is going to ruin it!
Both Tops and Commons should applaud the victor!
This is the Friendship Cup, after all!

Tops 1: Exactly!

Tops 2: Sakaki Yuya can have all the blessing from the bottom of my heart!

Commons 1: Shut up!

Commons 2: Take our enemy out of our sight!

Tops: You did well, Sakaki Yuya!

Commons: Go die in a hole, Sakaki Yuya!

Yuya: (Certainly, in order to reach Jack, I prioritize victory over entertainment in this Duel.
And now, not only did I fail to make everyone smile, (Egao Count: 86+1 = 87)
But I also dug an even bigger trench between the Tops and the Commons
Is this really okay?)

Shinji: Tch…Damn it!

Yuya: Roger!

Melissa: What is the Director of the Public Security Maintenance Bureau doing here?

Jean-Michel: Well done.
That was a very splendid Duel.
Especially in the last moments, when you went from Pendulum to Synchro Summon.
I was so astonished by that elegant and majestic maneuver,
That I unconsciously shouted out my amazement.
I had faith in you, and I wasn’t wrong.
That was a feat that only you would be capable of.

Yuya: Eh?

Shinji: Hey, kid!
He said he had faith in you…What is the meaning of this!?
Were you in cahoots with Security and the Tops’ dog the whole time, you little punk!?

Shinji: Back then, he nominated you to be Jack’s opponent of all people, so you must have made some kind of backdoor deal with him, no!?

Yuya: Backdoor deal!?

Melissa: Sakaki Yuya being selected to be the King’s opponent is because of a shady deal between him and the Director of the Public Security Maintenance Bureau!?
Is this what they call a big scoop!?

Yuya: W-wait! What are you talking about, Shinji!?
That was the first time I met Roger!
You were with me the entire time up until then!

Commons: I knew something fishy was going on!

Yuya: Huh?

Commons: There’s no way a no-name Duelist would just be selected to be the King’s opponent!
What kind of reward did you get in exchange for fighting Jack!?

Commons 2: Did you also get him to not send you underground if you lose!?

Commons 3: And yet, this guy was shouting about how this tournament is wrong, what a hypocrite!

Shinji: What’s going on here!? Yuya!

Yuya: Like I said! There’s no way that is true—

Jean-Michel: Of course, it isn’t true.
There’s no shady dealing between us…right?

Jean-Michel: I just have a lot of faith in this boy’s potential. That’s all.

Shinji: Potential?

Jean-Michel: It’s true that he’s a no-name Duelist.
However, Sakaki Yuya has a new power that nobody has ever heard of, Pendulum Summon.
Thus, in order to find out the extent of that summon method’s power, I thought it’d be best to let him fight against the strongest Duelist in the City, Jack Atlas.

Jean-Michel: Of course, the Duel ended with Jack’s victory,
But now, I know that the expectations I have toward Sakaki Yuya back then weren’t misguided.
The more he fights, the stronger he’ll become!
The fact that he was able to go from Pendulum to Synchro Summon in this match is proof that he is always evolving as a Duelist!

Jean-Michel: Look! Many spectators agree with me as well!
We only have one wish.
We’d like you to win the Friendship Cup, so that you can challenge Jack Atlas one more time.
I have faith in you, Yuya.

Yuya: H-hold on just a sec!

TV Reporter: Sakaki Yuya, who was regarded very highly by Director Roger of the Public Security Maintenance Bureau, has seized a splendid victory in the second match of the Friendship Cup’s second round!

Gael: Why did Roger go that far…

Azul: Praising Sakaki Yuya?

Bordeaux: Is he trying to win him over?

TV Reporter: In the end, Sakaki Yuya won the match with a brilliant reversal.

Reiji: Don’t worry…
He is Sakaki Yusho’s son.
He’s not going to be that foolish.

Reira: Yuya…

Sam: Yuya-san is in league with the Tops?
That can’t be…Why!?
I thought that he would be able to understand…
The Commons’ feeling of being looked down by the Tops…
My feeling of being looked down by Jack…
That’s why I entrusted that card to him, so that he can fight Jack again and throw that card right back into his face after winning…
But he was in league with the Tops the entire time…

Sam: Don’t give me--

Shinji: Don’t give me that kind of bullshit!

Shinji: Potential my foot!
Evolving? Are you kidding me?
This match was rigged from the beginning, wasn’t it!?

Yuya: Rigged!?

Melissa: Whoa!
That is one controversial statement!

Melissa: If that is true, it will shake the very foundation of this tournament!
Well then, I, Melissa Claire, shall return to being the Top Reporter of Top City TV,
And directly interview Director Roger in order to reveal the truth…

Jean-Michel: You’re the one who is full of ‘bullshit’ here, Shinji Weber.

Shinji: What did you say!?

Jean-Michel: I just stated a fact.
After all, if the Duel was rigged like you said, that would mean that you are his partner-in-crime, and lost on purpose, no?

Shinji: Uh…

Jean-Michel: Yuya defeated you fair and square.
You’re sprouting that nonsense simply because you can’t accept your defeat.

Shinji: I…!

Jean-Michel: You’re an eyesore.
Take the loser out of the stadium right now!

Shinji: Damn it! Unhand me! Mark my words, Yuya!
You’ll pay for this!

Yuya: Shinji! You got it wrong! Listen to me—

Shinji: I’m sure Crow will avenge me!

Crow: Shinji…

Yuya: Shinji! I’ll definitely save you!
Don’t give up in the underground!
Okay? Shinji!

Yuya: Let go of me!
I have to go!
Someone found Yuzu!
That’s why I have to go to her…

Jean-Michel: Let him go.

Melissa: We’re going to have a scoop!
Eh? Ah, um…
It’s perfectly understandable that the loser has to leave and all,
But is it okay for the winner to run off like this?

Sam: They’re not taking him back to the penthouse?
This is because he’s in league with the Tops, isn’t it?

Yuya: I will not abandon my friends.
That’s why I’ll have to win.
I’ll win and make everyone…I’ll make both the Tops and Commons smile! (Egao Count: 87+1=88)

Yuya: I’m sure Sora is somewhere around here…
Where is he? Where is he right now?

Yuya: Sora! Hey!
WHERE ARE YOU!?

Yuya: Come on out!
You’re here, aren’t you? SORA!

Yuya: Sora! Where are you?
Answer me! Sora!

Yuya: Sora! Hello? Sora!

Yuya: Sora!

Sora: Shh…We’re being followed.

Yuya: Eh?

Sora: This way. Hurry!

Yuya: Where is Yuzu? She was with you, right?
Is she safe?

Sora: Be quiet.

Yuya: Did I get something wrong?
That signal meant that Yuzu is safe and sound, right?

Sora: We’ll talk later!

Yuya: (Breathing heavily)

Sora: Yuzu is safe.
There’s no need to worry.
I’ve hidden her in a safe place.

Yuya: Thank goodness.
You managed to save her.
Thank you. I owe you this time.
But still, that was a surprise!
I didn’t think that you would be in the Synchro Dimension!

Sora: Same goes for me.
I didn’t even think that I would run into you in another dimension.
Not since the Battle Royale.

Yuya: Battle Royale…

Sora: It’s been a while since we last saw each other, huh?

{Chess Commercial. Brb}

Yuya: Back then, you said that you have something more important than friendship, right?

Sora: Yeah. I said that.
Our duty is to unite the worlds.
And I still haven’t given up that mission.

Yuya: Did you come to the Synchro Dimension for that purpose as well?

Yuya: Has Academia finally decided to invade this place?
Are they going to do terrible things to this place just like what they did to Kurosaki and Yuto’s hometown in the Xyz Dimension!?

Yuya: Don’t tell me…you’re here to retrieve Yuzu!?

Yuya: Dennis is also from Academia.
He infiltrated the Xyz Dimension in order to kidnap Kurosaki’s sister, Ruri.

Yuya: Were you on a similar mission, Sora?
Did you come to our dimension in order to kidnap Yuzu?

Sora: That’s not it!

Sora: My higher-ups might have learned about Yuzu from my memories.
But I swear…
I didn’t come to Standard in order to kidnap Yuzu.
I came to the Synchro Dimension in order to save Yuzu!

Yuya: Save her?

Serena: I’m not Yuzu!

Yuya: Huh!? Don’t tell me…!

Sora: Back then, I thought that the Obelisk Force must have brought Yuzu back to Academia by mistake.

Yuya: By mistake?
You mean, they mistook her for Serena?

Sora: Exactly.
Probably because they switched clothes.
It’s only natural that my companions who received orders from the Professor to bring Serena back would make a mistake.

Sora: Thinking that, I immediately returned to Academia.
However, I couldn’t find Yuzu no matter where I look.

Leo: Hiiragi Yuzu managed to escape!?

Sora: That’s when I learned that the Professor is planning to capture not only Serena, but Yuzu as well.

Yuya: For what purpose!?
What is that Professor guy trying to achieve by capturing Yuzu and Serena!?
Answer me, Sora!

Sora: I have no idea!
I was only ordered to bring Serena back.
I have no idea what the purpose of that is.

Sora: However…Even if I don’t know what his goal is, I still have to carry out the Professor’s orders.
That is the Academia’s law.

Sora: After that, I went back to the Standard Dimension to look for Serena.
I thought that there’s a chance that Yuzu is still in that dimension.
There, I learned that Akaba Reiji is leading a combat squad known as the Lancers, and had crossed into another dimension.
I also learned that both you and Serena were among his Lancers…

Yuya: And then, you went to the Synchro Dimension…!?

Sora: Yeah.
There, I witnessed Dennis’s revelation.
Considering that he was involved with Ruri’s kidnapping, I’m sure he must have infiltrated the Lancers to keep an eye on Serena.
Thinking that, I sent him back to Academia in order to separate him from Serena.

Yuya: Back to Academia!?
If you do that, they’ll know that Yuzu and Serena are here!

Sora: He’ll tell them sooner or later!
Before long, the Obelisk Force will show up to capture Yuzu and Serena.

Sora: Serena is a member of Academia like me.
I’m not going to disobey the Professor’s order to bring her back.

Sora: But to me, Yuzu is…

Sora: That time, you said that I taught Fusion Summon to Yuzu out of friendship, right?

Yuya: Eh? Yeah…

Sora: I denied it back then, but…Truth is…

Sora: Growing up in Academia, I didn’t have any friends.
Everyone was trying their best to become excellent soldiers.
We don’t have the time to fool around or laugh with each other…
To me, both you and Yuzu are my first friends…

Yuya: Sora…

Sora: That’s why I will save Yuzu no matter what!
I won’t hand Yuzu to the prison that is Academia!

Sora: That’s why I have a proposal for you.
I’m hiding Yuzu in a certain place.
I want you to bring Serena there.

Yuya: Serena?

Sora: You know, don’t you?
Where is she right now?

Yuya: Why do you want me to bring Serena?

Sora: I want you to hand her over to me.
In exchange, you can have Yuzu back.
You can then return to the Standard Dimension with her!

Yuya: Are you saying that I should abandon Serena!?

Sora: That’s not what I meant!
Didn’t I tell you?
She was a member of Academia to begin with.
I’m just taking her back to her home!

Yuya: You’re taking her back to the prison that is Academia!?

Yuya: I won’t let you take Serena to that place! Or Yuzu!
I’ll definitely rescue the kidnapped Ruri as well!
I won’t let the Professor do as he pleases!

Jean-Michel: I see. Hiiragi Yuzu was saved by that boy.

Jean-Michel: If Dennis had already returned to Academia, then it’s only a matter of time before Yuri is dispatched.
I can’t afford to waste even one second!

Jean-Michel: Capture Sakaki Yuya and the boy who is with him right now!
I’ll interrogate him personally and make him tell us where Hiiragi Yuzu is.

Sora: Don’t you get it, Yuya!?
There’s no other way to save Yuzu!
If you keep hesitating, the Obelisk Force will arrive before you know it!
And then, this city will become a battlefield!

Yuya: Even if I bring Yuzu back,
The Obelisk Force will still chase after her, won’t they!?
And then, our hometown will become a battlefield as well.
My friends at You Show School will be in danger, too.
There’s no way I can allow that!

Sora: That’s why in order to prevent that, I’m going to bring Serena back, and persuade the Professor…

Yuya: You know that he can’t be persuaded, don’t you!?

Sora: …

Yuya: Academia must be defeated.
That what you should be focusing on!
You have to open your eyes, Sora!

Yuya: Watch out!

Sora: Yuya!

Yuya: Run, Sora!
Protect Yuzu!

Yuya: I’m counting on you, Sora.

Yuzu: Why am I in this place…?
I’m pretty sure I was Dueling Sergey…
Ah…I’m still feeling a bit dizzy.

Amanda: Are you okay, miss?

Tanner: Huh? You’re the one who got thrown off the Duel Lane…

Frank: Ah…But you seem pretty fine and dandy after falling from that height.

Yuzu: I fell?

Yuzu: I see.
Sorry. I don’t really remember what happened.

Frank: Then, have you met Yuya before, by any chance?

Yuzu: Eh? You know Yuya?

Tanner: Uh-huh! Because Crow rescued him!
And Serena, and Reira-kun, and…
Huh? What was the name of that one guy?
Hmm…
Oh well, moving on!
He’s not really that important.

Tanner: Anyway, Crow is a nice guy, so he’ll help anyone!

Yuzu: Is that so?
That Crow person rescued Yuya and the others…

Frank: Whoa! We can’t just stay here!
Crow’s Duel is going to start soon!

Tanner: You should go cheer for him with us!

Yuzu: Eh? I’ll have to go, too?

Frank: Although, since we tried to cheat our way in before, they’ll probably be on the lookout for us.
So we can’t go to the Duel Palace.

Tanner: But if it’s in the town, you can leave it to us!
We have a super-special seat reserved!

Amanda: Of course, it’s a place that even Security won’t be able to find.
Come on, let’s go!

Yuzu: Ah! H-Hold on!

Crow: If what Shinji said is true, then Yuya is a traitor as well.
I can’t trust anyone anymore.
If it’s come to this…
The only thing I can do is winning!
I’ll have to win, and defeat Jack!

Kurosaki: Dennis is not the only agent.
I’m sure Academia has already infiltrated this dimension.
I’ll expose all of them, one by one.

Melissa: The third match of the Friendship Cup’s third day is…
Crow Hogan vs. Kurosaki Shun!

(New Egao Record: 88)
(Preview for Episode 81)

Yuya: Sora! I’m entrusting Yuzu to you!

Sora: Why are there so many guards here?
Just when I have to go back to Yuzu as soon as I can…!

Kurosaki: Academia is everywhere.
If you’re one of them, I will show you no mercy!

Crow: I will win, and avenge my comrades!
Shinji is not the only one that can link the Commons’ bonds together!

Yuya: Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V:
To Each His Own Battlefield
The fun has just begun!
