Yes because the Org stated it's the Asuka from GX.

Org's source is same scans that have been circulating through the web for a while now.

They don't mention a surname, only an "Asuka", written the same way as the GX character, but not exclusive to her.

While the chances of that being the ZeXal character are minimal, I, for one, would rather wait for full confirmation before celebrating.

Looking at GX characters, I must say, I'd prefer Adrian, the Destiny Hero guy or Chazz to Alexis. Well it is nice that Yu gi oh may be getting the first female antagonist (I'm guessing she's the commander of the fusion forces in Heartland and will probably be the main enemy for the arc), I'd prefer the above because

A) Cloudian, Ojama or D Hero support would be epic.

B) I feel that they're characters got more developed over then Alexis who kinda fades away.

C) The rules for the dimensions as AUs of previous series is that the supernatural elements and the main character are missing, plus whatever is that dimensions Schick is. I feel Chazz would be better as a kinda callous commander. And Ojamas.

Did I mention Ojamas?

To be fair, I wouldn't have posted what you quoted if the Org article didn't mention the surname (even if it isn't 100% confirmed)

Asuka's major archetype was her dancing Cybers, which were members of the Cyber archetype that had nothing to do with the rest of the archetype. Perhaps in Arc-V she's been promoted to full Cybers . . . and if she's really in Xyz Dimension, she might have Nova/Infinity. Alternatively, her archetype was an offshoot of the archetype of her "big brother" figure- maybe she's personality-wise the same as her GX counterpart, able to tolerate someone who who beat her, and now she's using Galaxy/Photon?

Very surprised it's not Zane returning, he seemed like the obvious choice. never hugely cared for Alexis, but who knows, maybe she'll actually matter in this universe.

 

(also, I like how everyone uses the dub names up to GX, then switches the the Japanese ones. Guess everyone jumped to the sub after the end of GX like I did xD)

This is something I've noticed myself doing, and feel slightly hypocritical for, especially since I've come to truly despise some of the dub names for 5Ds onwards, so my insistence on Japanese names for 5Ds onwards characters, but preference for dub names for DM and GX strikes me as hypocritical.

 

I imagine it has a lot to do with our ages when those two shows first came about. Being in English countries (or whatever) and some of us probably without reliable internet connections or anime sites would only have had the dubbed TV series to see those shows, so they're how we know those characters.

 

I didn't get into subs until 5Ds, and even then, it took me a while to get into watching Japanese audio with subtitles. But I got hooked on it, probably because 5Ds darker story mixed with lack of censoring made me appreciate the show that much more, to the point that I find the dubs much more grating to watch.

Funny, that's precisely the reason why I'd like to see more of her XD Though they still have to do some tweaks to her Cyber Girls in order to make them viable. Maybe have her supports focus on EARTH Warrior-Type monsters?

On that respect, I'd prefer to see Signer Twins again over a lot of returning characters from 5D's, since I feel they had the most wasted potential in the show.

Enguin, go back and watch the dub episode where Shun shows up. His voice actor sounds like he's screaming his lungs out. It's hammy, but it's possibly some of the best voice acting in the dub in years.

 

Shun was the voice I like the most by far in it. Made Yuya and a lot of them annoying fucks but Shun was good. Just the bad outweighed the good too much to be bothered retreading episodes I've seen already.

The dub isn't as bad as I thought it would be, which is somewhat of a disappointment. I mean yes, you get some utter gold like the Shivers Kid and some hilarious stuff like Gong and his dad having basically the exact same voice. But, then there's stuff that's neither terribly bad, or really that great like Yuya's voice. Then, there's the amazing voices like Shun, Nico Smiley, or Reiji. It all kind of balances out into an acceptable experience marred by 4K's writing trend of unbearable puns around every corner. Overall it's not that bad; but it could better.

Guys, I believe I know the reason why Arc V chose Alexis to appear in Arc V other than Chazz amd the other Gx characters. Since they are pratically owned by konami and their whole reason for the anime is to promote the card game, isnt the answer OBVIOUS. Since the beggining of Arc V, Konami has made a promise to release support for each summoning on each card set- booster whatever. They have plenty of material amd ideas for the next sets for each summoning except some. They may add some synchroa from the aynchro dimmension arc that still havent been printed or new synchros from the upcoming duel (...jack...). Academia is ON right now so they can easily get fusion support from that. But what about NEW xyz? What about NEW rituals???

Kaito uses Xyz (photon) and will probably get new cards while Alexis , well, Konami apparenrly ran out of ideas for new Rituals, and alexis runs Cyber Angels (rituals) so why not include her? She has plenty of Rirual cards that were never printed and right now they need Ritual support of some kind... so there.

[spoiler=On Reira]

A while back on Skype, to bree and Nai, I said that I thought that Reira might be Sora's brother. I'd said maybe counterpart before, but given the lack of Akaba blood, that seems less likely.

 

They have a similar face, they both have a ragtag bear associated with them, and the scene this episode showed how quickly Reira seemed to get attached to Sora, which was odd.

 

idk, I would not be shocked if they were brothers.

 

Also, uh, this is a little TOO conventient.

 

Reira

Reiji

Sora

Honestly it seemed HIGHLY unlikely that they weren't going to use other characters from other series. It'd be weird af if they just added Crow and Jack and no one else from the other series. As for the picks, Kaito/Kite seems okay I guess and Asuka/Alexis seems so random. But GX did end with her becoming an instructor(or at least strongly hinted at it), but since this is a dimensional thing, not a time thing, she could a Blue Student like Sora or w/e(Dunno if it still works like, considering Serena is a red). Would've preferred a more fusion-y deck character, like Syrus or .... Chazz I guess? I guess Jaden doesn't exist and Zane is a no because that means more Cyber Support and we don't really need it (But they did bring back Crow). Not many relevant characters in Zexal that were human, but actually the one of Arclights would've been very pleasant imo.

 

Because I don't think people read my long posts

 

tl;dr: GX? Cyrus or Chazz would've been better. Zexal? One of the Arclights.

This does make a lot of sense. So Alexis will probably be running a fiendish fusion of Nekroz style consistent ritual summoning with occasional fusion boss monster. Cool.

It's only now occurred to me that the reason they chose kaito is that he was the only ZeXal character whos' main monster wasn't a number card. Since I'm guessing numbers aren't going to be a thing, like signers weren't a thing in city, they can bring him back without having to shove ZeXal's entire mythology into the show.
