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. 

 

Just Jean maybe, but Jean-Michel can't be anything other than French. He might not be from France itself, but judging from his name, he must have francophone origins at least. And seeing how Japanese media usually deals with their foreign characters (read: working mostly with stereotypes, ranging from the basics to the painfully embarassing), it's fairly safe to assume he was meant to be of French descent. I'm not forcing anyone to use whichever names, I'm just clearing things up in regards to how the creators intended the guy's name to be spelled and pronounced (and "Roger" and "Roget" would have significantly different pronounciations in French, Japanese AND English). You choose whether to follow them or not, although I'll maintain you're mistaken.

 

Also, about Action Cards: I agree that it might be a little grating to watch them save Yuya and other Lancers' asses whenever they are in a pinch, but it sorta makes sense that the others wouldn't use them often. The very reason why Reiji modified their Duel Disks to allow them to Action Duel outside a properly equipped arena was to give them an edge over the alternate dimensions' duelists, who are naturally stronger than the Standard ones. So that makes sense storywise, much like Crow and the other Commons having weaker cards, even if it can be frustrating when it comes to the duel parts.

Am I missing something here?

 

Both Crow and Shinji have used action cards to save their asses before.

 

It looks like both Crow and Shun uses action cards to prevent the other from blowing up their fields next turn too.

 

I don't think them not using action cards its necessarily an issue of them being stronger (and to be honest if you have to use something like pin the hilt your deck isn't very strong to begin with) duelists than standard but because they aren't as adept as them at taking advantage of action cards.

Probably didn't help that I just read the script after watching, but meh.

  • Yuya, look at the crap you got yourself into now. By beating Shinji, you pissed the hell out of all of the Commons. Even Crow hates your ass now.
    • Though the audience is naive, and doesn't know that Yuya had nothing to do with Roger or Tops. No back deals were made, and various other things.
    • Tops love him though for this, but that's counter to his goal to bring the two closer.
      • (Again Yuya, that's just how society in Synchro is. Smiles alone are insufficient to bring any sort of revolution.)
    • One Common even told Yuya to die in a hole. Harsh, but we can see why.
  • OK Shinji, now you've become an annoying piece of sheet (and I was hoping you wouldn't devolve into one), We get you're pissed at losing, but you really know nothing about Yuya's situation.
  • Sora came back, and said he hid Yuzu somewhere. Looks like he really does care for Yuzu and wants her to be safe.
    • Backstory makes sense though, as to why he's going this far.
  • Yuya didn't heed the warning that they were being followed; that, and he stirred up an awful amount of attention after he went to look for Sora.

 

 

 

Next fight should be good, though let's expect all of the anger and swear words to fly. (Not really the latter, but definitely will be interesting)

[spoiler=Reply]You make it sound like the crap he's getting is mostly his fault. Commons are really just angry since their folk hero got beaten with a sudden, sudden reversal we call plot.

Shinji's anger mainly comes from when Roger starts applauding Yuya, and since he's still salty about losing, this happened.

It's really just the world being unkind with Yuya. And hey, right now he's not even preaching smiles and all. While that's still his M.O, he pretty much has it now since he don't believe Shinji's revolution is the right thing to do. He doesn't know on the exact thing to do now but his heart's in the right place.

 

Also, that was both Yuya and Sora getting tricked by the security guy and his coin. Probably it's not a good idea to go into a screaming match when you're potentially being trailed.

 

 

 

oh yeah, shinji salt is real.

Finally got around to watching the episode (and no I didn't read the script, so hello vague thoughts on the talky episode)

 

[spoiler=Thoughts on 80 RAW]

- Shinji is definitely salty regarding stuff with Yuya (same can be said for the commons too), oh well at least he got carted off.

- So JMR let Yuya "escape" so that he can go about his business regarding Sora (Ofc he wouldn't have let Yuya leave if it didn't have anything to do with Yuzu) Shame Security eavesdropped on their conversation allowing Security to capture Yuya so JMR can deal with him regarding that "alliance" that the previews from last month were on about.

 

Anywho, the next duel should be interesting though, Angry Birds vs Angry Birds.

[spoiler=Stuff]

We know that it's technically not Yuya's fault entirely that all of the Commons hate him at this point.

He did beat Shinji (who the Commons were rooting for to change their society), yes, though Roger's appearance was the catalyst to the triggered anger.

 

If Roger didn't appear, then maybe things would be different. Shinji would still be pissed at losing, but not as likely to call Yuya a traitor.

Can't say the same for the Commons, but probably same reaction (even if they didn't get the misguided notion that Yuya worked for Tops).

 

Then again, even Sam got the thought that Yuya was in league with Tops.

 

As for the last part, that was referring to him shouting for Sora's attention after he left the Duel Palace, but yeah not a good idea.

 

---

It would help if Shinji wasn't a hard-head and could listen to reason; Yuya really had nothing to do with Roger in the first place, and had no favors with him or the Tops.

But as shown this time, well he didn't.

Yuya's liked by the Tops now, but Commons want him gone.

Suppose you can't blame them, since Shinji got creamed.

 

(Although if Roger hadn't appeared, would the reaction be the same?)

 

Would assume Commons would still be pissed as sheet at him anyway, but maybe Crow or Sam wouldn't be hating his ass by now.

 

----

 

Shinji deserved to get taken away, because yeah, now he's a whiny jabroni who can't think rationally.

You lost, okay? Take it like a man, and move on.

 

----

Yuya, you had better know that Roger's using you for his own agenda.

 

 

 

Oh yeah, and above two images are appropriate.

Did you notice that every time someone gets the first turn in Friendship Cup (except Shun and Crow), they lose? And now the next episode is gonna be Shun vs Crow. This is gonna be a serious one-episode bird duel. Shun better win this one.

 

(Although Jack did get his first turn when he dueled against Yuya, but that doesn't count since it was an exhibition match, (which wasn't even a match since they dueled only once.))

Well first, lemme backtrack.

 

Yuya could have won with DRXD, sure, but I think that, between JAck smiling and what he did, it was meant to show Yuya growing, not just drive the plot. Instead of going with the brutal method he had once used, he tried again with a new method, and it was more entertaining to see than something he'd already attempted and done before.

 

JMR is straight out of Ace Attorney, I swear. Easily the most likable character in Synchro, bar maybe Chojiro, with Jack as the third. Every other synchro character is a funking annoying jabroni. Crow and Shinji especially. Like holy funking hell Shinji, salty much?

 

Crow's ending scene was just ow the edge.

 

Shun's ending scene, however, was edge done right. It was a slightly darker setting, brooding, but with logical thoughts and remaining calm. This is Shun's best scene since the Battle Royale, easily, as it really allowed his personality and edge to shine. Why? The sheer rage factor was removed, and it was a real boon to his character to have the blind anger canned.

Angry Birds movie is a two parter. 82's name is confirmed to be Ultimate Raptor vs Black Thunder.

 

Though at least it's understandable since we'll get Yuya and JMR plot in the meantime of the duel.

Who else is thinking this duel is going to end in a tie?

It'd be asinine. And now I can't help thinking that will happen.

 

Still, by the nature of the tournament, they need a winner to advance and someone to do labor, so in the event of a tie a rematch would be likely.

[spoiler=Thoughts on 80 Subbed]

- Good riddance Shinji, making assumptions that Yuya was in cahoots with the tops, and claiming that the match was fixed. I mean you might as well as translated his salt to "funk you and funk your MC syndrome." Though to be fair, him saying that the match was fixed was the only marginally justifiable thing he said because Yuya is the main character so ofc the writers were going to rig it in his favour, then have Shinji be salty about it upon his loss.

- I have to agree that JMR is one of the more likeable characters in Synchro. In the beginning, I hated him, but then Shinji became an obnoxious sheet and as for Crow, he's annoying too and his deck sucks and JMR's likability increased.

- I see, so when Sora returned to the Academia at the end of the Battle Royale, he went back to search for Yuzu after Serena said that she wasn't Yuzu and assumed that one of the OF might've taken Yuzu by mistake because of clothes swap which was then he learned that the Professor was looking for Yuzu as well. (So even if it was a mistake as Sora assumed, it would've brought the Professor's plan one step close to completion anyway)

- Sora's suggestion of hiding Yuzu in exchange for bringing Serena back seems like an ok plan at first, but Yuya's right somehow teh Academia is going to find out where Yuzu is if Yuya went along with the plan as well as the assumption about the Professor being hard to convince.

- Poor ...erm what's his face again? He's now become the forgotten character, well I guess that's one more thing he can complain to his dad abou- owait.

The one thing I want more than anything is for Roger to explain why he has that chessboard and constantly moves the pieces around with no real purpose or thought. It annoys me more than it should but it only makes him seem stupid and more annoying than anything else.

He's an ace attorney prosecutor.

 

It's his quirk.

 

All there is to it, regardless of the quality of the quirk.
