Astro Dude Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Think about it: Yuya is accused of assaulting a student of one of the most prestigious academies in all of Maiami city, plus, no one believes Yuya since there's no proof that he didn't do it. Plus, Reiji's mom is a powerful business woman. One word from her and the judge would have Yuya carted off to jail, for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically you're just going on some new fantasy in each and every post, as per usual, and adding absolutely nothing to the conversation other than a target for people's aggression because of how you refuse to improve. Please, learn about writing and use contexts based on the universe before you say anything else so incredibly... unintelligent, so to speak.

evilfusion Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Saw Sora mentioned that Hokuto's name suggested he'd be comfortable with a space field. Anyone know what it means? Google translate has nothing. I decided to check. It apparently translates or refers to the North Star, or the Big Dipper. In other words, celestial bodies and/or constellations. And since he evidently uses Constellars (or at least Pleiades)...yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm... this is a yugioh anime, not The Wire or True Detective or anything. That is never gonna happen. Nothing long-term bad ever happens to a YGO protagonist that they don't get out of/solve within 3 episodes. Back to the episode: I'm enjoying the way the plot is building surrounding Reiji and Himika, as there's no guarantee they will be the baddies and it could well turn out they're alright and their enemies (aka: the side of Yuya's dad suppossedly) could well be the real threat that Yuya ends up helping out by fighting LDS blindly thinking they're the bad guys and making stuff worse. (Okay this is never gonna happen either and it will just be as straightforward as Reiji is evil, Yuya's dad is great, Yuya saves the day and Reiji becomes his friend afterward. We can live in hope of something more interesting til then though can't we?) Sora was amusing chomping away as ever. DOUGH-NUTTTT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Sora was amusing chomping away as ever. DOUGH-NUTTTT!!! Sora definitely was amusing in this episode. "I activate the special ability of my doughnut" (It went something along those lines) Am I surprised that Reiji's mum wanted to take over the You Show Duel School? Not really tbh (And I'm speaking for the vast majority here). Though I'm liking the fact that the plot is building around her and Reiji, giving them more focus. One thing I want to know (although it probs won't be shown further) is what cards Shingo's friends received as payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dom- Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hmm...also she said something about introducing a Pendulum class when You Show DS loses, and then after being asked how as yuya has the only pendulums, she says that leo corporation will find a way... I'm assuming that's how reiji gets his DD cards, and not that he had them all along. This also suggests all future pendulum users will be related to Leo Corp. in some way, except through yuya's dad (I'm assuming his dad has his own and maybe passed his secrets down to others). other than that I like the school idea, but it seems weird they don't know how to teach an xyz summon.

I'm assuming that's how Reiji gets his DD cards, and not that he had them all along. It's possible that Reiji will use the DD cards in the anime given that the set coming out in the OCG in August (Raging Masters) will mostly comprise of cards in the anime and the issue of VJUMP that came out in May said that the set will contain DD cards.

In accordance to that, some future vision or insight had Radiant Knight or Focault on the display board. Dunno if they would forsee that or it's just some random imagination. But of course the main issue is that LDS wants to monopoly every single Extra Deck and other unique summoning method being the most powerful and influential organization in the world. LDS has an ominous presence behind them...instead of going the calm and organized approach for negotiations, they resort to hiring the top class student to steal cards under a dark purposes, not to mention immediately claim that a very minor imperfection out of many is a war declaration to a tiny Duel School. They're not a stereotypical greedy and snobbish conglomerate, but they're suspicious to think as if they're going to recruit the strongest duelists and use them as tools for world dominating purposes. It's crazy but it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterr259 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I finally caught up with Arc V and I am enjoying the plot so far. I'm hoping Yuya's duel won't last the whole episode and I get to see Synchroes again. But what bugs me is Pendulum cards. So are they going to start manufacturing them now, were they already there and no stumbled upon them until now, or did Yuya trigger some Pendulum creation event like Yuma and the numbers?

Magically during the first duel of the series, the pendant Yuya had transformed every possible monster he had to Pendulums. So it's kinda like Yuma when he met Astral with the Emperor's Key. But the thing that has been urking a lot of people is the slight inconsistency that: Pendulum is supposed to be something new and unknown yet Yuya plays it correctly the first time yet next episode he gets confused over the scales. Even the Duel Disk recognizes it as a valid move. But I think at this point Yuya knows most of the tricks of Pendulums by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 2 of the 5 he had in hand? It's not inconsistent at all. He was clearly in a trance-like state when it happened, given that he did not even realize the match was over until he shook out of it. If people are getting irked because they didn't pay attention, that's on them for ignoring evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yeah, Yuya knowing how to Pendulum Summon the very first time makes absolutely no sense, as he not only knew about the Scales, but also what the mechanic did. While future episodes established he didn't know all the nuances, the fact he knew the mechanic at all made no sense. Which is why many of his cards still aren't pendulums? Even 2 of the 5 he had in hand? It's not inconsistent at all. He was clearly in a trance-like state when it happened, given that he did not even realize the match was over until he shook out of it.

So are they going to start manufacturing them now, were they already there and no stumbled upon them until now, or did Yuya trigger some Pendulum creation event like Yuma and the numbers? As of right now, I think LDS could cause the mechanic to start being printed, but there are reasons why they haven't: -When Reiji allowed Shingo to use them, he was clearly studying the Pendulum Mechanic. He doesn't want the Magicians, he will eventually get potentially better Pendulums of his own. You can't start printing cards for a mechanic without really knowing how it works. It's kind of like going to the custom card section and making Xyzs with Fusion-like Materials rather than matching Levels. -Due to the reach on Strong's duel in the media, everybody knows (or rather "believes") Pendulum is a sort of specialty for You Show DS, and so they need to win those over. Since Reiji did not see Sora's duel, he doesn't know about the Extra Deck part. Either Sora is working for Reiji secretly in some way, or You Show DS will lose the school in this match (because recordings of duels and stuff will be accessible). Pleiades is more likely to bounce Odd-Eyes than it is to make LDS discover the Extra Deck clause of Pendulums. In that sense, it might not be the best match-up. Then again, I'm pretty sure they'll show Odd-Eyes can be Normal Summoned by Tributing the other 2 Pendulum Summoned monsters that Yuya always brings out (be them what they might be).

evilfusion Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 All right I'll bite. If it wasn't anything dramatic then what IS on the line? If the LDS students win, LDS will take over the You Show school. Making them Duel is primarily a matter of honor and reputation, as Yuya beat their champion, plus allegedly attacked another student. The incident with Sawatari allowed her to twist their arms, so to speak. There's also the fact she and Reiji want to scout out more about Yuya and his cards, to know where he stands and whether he's an enemy. The assault incident is not the angle they're focusing on, but it works to their advantage to exploit it that far. Besides, the Sawatari incident, if examined closely, would quickly fall through in terms of credibility. Sawatari is blatantly faking his injuries.

evilfusion Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 And why can't You Show just refuse? Because the You Show school doesn't know the injuries are blatantly fake. Sawatari didn't show up personally, his "underlings" did, claiming his injuries were severe. So yes, their arms are still being twisted in the sense that LDS said that if they win, they'll forget about the incident, and if LDS wins, they'll take over the school. If they refuse...they probably CAN continue to threaten prosecution, and since Yuzu is a witness and not even sure what she saw... So while LDS isn't interested in pursuing the angle of assault charges in favor of school takeover, they used the opportunity to twist the You Show school's arm into accepting the challenge. Yuzu's father even questioned if Sawatari's assault was a set-up for that opportunity (which she denied, but admitted it was convenient). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dom- Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Also, are Yuya's Entermate Pendulum monsters considered pendulum in the anime? because while I swore the cards have been shown as half green already, they're never used (only the 'gazer' magicians so far). If not, will there be an explanation as to why they become pendulums later when Yuya varies his duels more, or will it be just another Jaden-esque "oh hey another fusion of 2 heroes I've owned for ages" but worse due to an actual change in card.

Visably we only saw the cards in his hand turn Pendulum, so I assume more cards in his deck did to (Frog, Scorpion, ect). Also it'd be a bit hard not to notice one of your cards changing completely, so I am sure he's aware, but yeah it looks like they're going for a Jaden-type thing. Which imo, doesn't matter too much. Though they helped him win the match, they're of lesser importance atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I've also wondered if the cards that were transformed into Pendulums ever had their monster effects altered. Something like Fliptoad, Kaleido Scorpion, and Cheer Mole: they had normal monster effects regarding ATK/DEF changes and Odd-Eyes support. Since none of them have been set as Pendulum scales, they could probably have just have the same pendant transform them into Pendulum cards in case of a Deus Ex Machina situation, while still being normal monsters around the Sawatari and Sora duels. As for Timegazer Magician, its original effect says that it can protect Pendulum monsters from destruction once per turn. So what was its original effect beforehand?

Though they helped him win the match, they're of lesser importance atm. It is generally assumed that every time Yuya makes that cinematographic draw that looks like some weird variation of the Shining Draw, some of Yuya's cards turn into Pendulums. The first time it was Odd-Eyes, Astromancy and Chronomancy, the second time Kaleido Scorpion and Surprise Frog, and the third time just Cheer Mole. Though ever since episode 1, none has been specifically shown to transform on-screen, or even be in Yuya's hand at the time the pendant does it's thing.... Like how that time with Shingo he drew Block Spider and barely had any hand. So yeah, pretty much they are turning slowly, but not all in one time. It's interesting how the show doesn't really pay attention to any Pendulums besides the magicians. Shingo didn't steal Odd-Eyes, Yuya didn't show it when Shingo asked to see the Pendulums, or when the kids wanting to enroll You Show DS asked for them in episode 2. What's up with that? Plot convenience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plot convenience? Well, the Magicians in combo bring out any monsters between 2 and 7, which is the largest range at present. The other time Yuya used a different Pendulum combo (a Magician and Odd-Eyes), his Pendulum Summons failed, and he lost the Duel. It took forever for him to replicate the first time, so those are the Pendulum cards he's most familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brinolovania Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 So the whole duel is about honor? Plus Shingo's never gonna come clean. And say Yuya is declared innocent, what would happen then? Did you even see the episode? The chairwoman directly stated (pretty much) that the entire duel was just a setup so that LDS could take over You-Show, and teach Pendulum Summoning. If Yuya wins, the school doesn't get taken over. Simple as that. Oh, also first post in this topic. Not much to say about this show other than that it's a lot better than it seems like it should be.
