Βyakuya Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I don't really see that, but hey, if you want to watch without understanding half of what is going on, go for it I guess. It's more easier for people who are more used to watching subs, especially when getting used to the jargon of dueling in Japanese. It's not hard to make conclusions about card effects or outcomes based on the actions they do because of context. The only exception would be exposition episodes or points of plot development so aside from that pont, primarily we just watch to enjoy the duels. Besides, it's still fun to speculate and fit in what is happening instead of watching with a blank expression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not really my thing, I would rather just want to know what's going on, and the show's not good enough for me to want to watch an episode twice, but if that's your thing, then I guess I can't stop you.

You asked why we watch the raw before the subs are out. You don't have to feel the same way. If I think an episode will be suitably epic, watching the raw is like watching a trailer: See awesome stuff without full context. It was also a bigger issue when subbers near the end of Zexal started taking several weeks. Watching the raw was a way to still have mostly current info about the events, since discussion topics involving anime cards would reference these events.

~British Soul~ Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I find it a bit odd that some of you watch it without subtitles, even though you don't understand what is going on. Why is that? I watch the raw before subs because it gives me something to do on a Sunday and even though I can't understand some of the things that go on in an episode (like not in duel dialogue) I still enjoy watching it. Of course that is just my opinion on the matter and I understand that some people dn't like watching the raw because to them it seems as if the glass is half-full.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 For similar reasons, I watch the RAW episodes first before going into the subs if any. As evilfusion mentioned, ZEXAL had a problem with doing subbed episodes on time so for the most part, a lot of us were stuck with raws for over a couple months. (Reminds me to go watch the subs now; I haven't seen any since, I don't know, 10-11ish) For gameplay things, I can probably make out the Japanese in it to some degree; everything else not really. Pretty much watch it for the duels, more or less. [Would help if I was good in Japanese; then I could watch it and probably contribute to the Wikia a lot more] On that note, finished watching the subs; same feeling as from the raw, except we learn what Reiji told Shun during the confrontation, and the reason why Yuya v Gongenzaka is even happening.

It certainly was; after a while, I just said "screw it, I'm watching raws and hope that I can guess what they're saying, given the intonation and my limited knowledge of Japanese". As for the preview, [spoiler=Response] It essentially implies Yuya won against Gongenzaka in next week's episode. Figures... [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Faytl~ Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 [spoiler=Episode 26] Outcome of the duel was pretty much expected; Apparently Trump Witch works in the Battle Phase in the anime. Yuya used neither of his Magicians for his scale for the forst time, and Hippo actually was used the way it's supposed to, yaaaaay! Also, the LDS students that dueled Shun are apparently fine; They're stated as being in the JYC on the Wiki; Also getting back Meiru, which is nice, and more Shingo is forthcoming, ofc. And next episode it seems the one dueling is... Shivers kid. Filler. FILLER OF FILLERS. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 [spoiler=My thoughts on 26] Result was as expected, though it would've been interesting if Gongenzaka won tbh. It was nice to see Yuya use the Hippo's effect again, this time for Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, not to mention using other monsters as Pendulum scales rather than 1 or both of the magicians. One thing I would like to know is what this "Lancers Selection" thing is tbh. I assume that it is some sort of database detailing the entrants of the JYC seeing as it has Yuya and Sora on it. Seeing the shivering kid duel next week is gonna be cringeworthy. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Episode 26] and Hippo actually was used the way it's supposed to, yaaaaay! [/spoiler] [spoiler=Response] Yeah, he hasn't used Hippo's effect since like episode 1, when he summoned Odd-Eyes Dragon. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Nico breaking the fourth wall was just great. Huh, so Gongenzaka got a monster that essentially allows him to take advantage of his opponent using Action Cards. Makes a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Βyakuya Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 [spoiler Episode Thoughts as usual] Well as for the resolution of the duel, that was amazing. But the You Show gang seemed to root for Yuya the whole time. Did they really just dump off Gogenzaka to look at how Yuya has dueled? Well whatever, honestly I was too lazy to revise the subs in the last episode so I never really understood this conflict. But once again, with a fight this early in the series, you know 100% Yuya wins. Even though Gogenzaka is already manly and badass, I wanted to see more devleopment of him and Yuya, so it would end up something like Yugi vs Joey in Season 1. A minor flashback and exposition of resolve doesn't fill it up all the way. But I guess the more important thing is how both have evolved, and I guess to be honest I was rooting for Yuya even more when he got beast Eyes. Gogenzaka was still pretty cool; His Susanowo was actually very powerful to use Spells from his opponent's grave. And Yuya actually for once, not only Pendulum Summoned late in the duel, but never used the Magicians as his Pendulum Monsters, actually used his Discover Hippo once, and risked his life just to immediately kill Gogenzaka's LP before the end of BP. Yuya has definitely achieved a state of evolution. I hope to see the same awesomeness with Synchro and Xyz, as this is startign to become more and more symbolic, especially when you compare Yuya's future evolution of summon methods to Reiji's DDD's and the Faustian Bargains... Also Mieru is back! :D Sawatari is back! :D Masumi, Hokuto, and Yaiba are back!...Kinda. :D Maybe Michio will come back? :D? Oh yeah and that obnoxious "shivers" kid. Yeah skipping that episode.

[/spoiler] Michio was stated as already having been qualified to enter the JYC when he dueled Yuya, he just did the duel for gits and shiggles and wanted to fight against Yuya's Pendulum Monsters, so yeah, he'll most likely be back as well. That could be fun. Just so long as they keep that prick Eita out of it. I could totally see Michio being used as an opponent it's safe for the resident badass to defeat, as him getting knocked out of the tournament doesn't matter. Maybe he could be against Sawatari as a chance for Sawatari to show off his new Pendulum monsters? I think he said he would have some by the time the JYC rolled around.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 [spoiler=Thoughts on 26] Yuya qualifies for Junior Cup; it was bound to happen. Fusion Summons twice in a single duel. Yuzu, you should be ashamed now (Yuya hasn't been trained to Fusion and he's done consecutives in a single turn) Susano'o has a surprisingly good effect, though there are some implications to what it can do IRL. In essence, Gongenzaka CAN use Spell Cards but it's your opponent's stuff. Appears Reiji has some misgivings about Sora, given the convo. Big Return was essentially Yuya's topdeck if you will; allowing him to Fusion Summon Beast-Eyes; proceed to kill Susano'o and then burn for Silver Claw's ATK and win game. I heard Mr. Gongenzaka use the word "make (loser)" with his son, probably telling him that his dueling isn't their dojo's style or something. I don't know; wait for subs [/spoiler] Michio was stated as already having been qualified to enter the JYC when he dueled Yuya, he just did the duel for gits and shiggles and wanted to fight against Yuya's Pendulum Monsters, so yeah, he'll most likely be back as well.

If Eita shows up and acts like an ass again, I will likely be swearing heavy profanity at him for the duration of the episode. (We all hate him) Hopefully they don't [even if they do, Yuya humiliated him with the reverse Fermat theorem burn, so shouldn't be as cocky now]. Other guys, will be interesting.

Atypical-Abbie Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 That "re-use an OPT effect" card is quite interesting, I don't believe they have ever done that before. Too bad that we won't get more of Nico's little fourth wall breaking in the intros anymore, ah well, and the last scene, what was that all about?

evilfusion Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 [spoiler=spoily stuff] Duel was excellent. The scene with Reiji is what really alarmed me. Apparently, Masumi, Hokuto, and Yaiba had their memories of Shun erased by LDS, and Shun will be participating in the tournament. Also, Reiji's Lancers selection seems to be testing Duelists to see who of them can fight for their world. Admittedly, I'm getting 5Ds vibes with how the Fortune Cup was used to try to gather the Signers. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Just watched le subs [spoiler=Additional thoughts on 26 Subbed] So basically, on the grounds that he learned another school's technique, Gongenzaka should get a game loss from his father. Seems bit silly imo, and it sounds like something stupid you'd utter at locals for a laugh. We also learned that there is still a week to go before the JYC and that Gongenzaka stated that he still has a chance to qualify despite his loss. (Whether he does so or not remains to be seen) So it seems that Yaiba, Hokuto and Masumi have had their memories regarding Shun erased, and the whole "Lancers Selection" thing is seeing who amongst the duelists on that database will be able to protect the world, interesting. I'm getting a 5Ds-vibe now. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 [spoiler=Thoughts on 26 sub] Earlier thoughts about Mr. Gongenzaka telling his son he lost Duel came true. Seems kinda stupid to disqualify him for using another school's methods, but at least Noboru backed up his usage; because it's analogous to playing a Duelist Kingdom deck in a game full of stuff like 101/Black Rose/Dracossack and every other meta card in existence; all of which are from the later generations. It's worth laughing over to some extent. May be a chance that Gongenzaka (younger) might get into the Junior World Championship; given he mentioned a week is still left. I got a somewhat of a 5Ds vibe from Reiji's statement at the end as well. Possible Dark Signer-esque arc much? So Reiji wants Shun to enter the tournament; interesting... LDS got their memories of Shun erased; okay. Also implies they still exist, unlike Marco, Tio and those other guys who got Soul Prisoned.
