evilfusion Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Then again, the anime has been known to do some pretty stupid things, like the Team Unicorn duel, where Yusei's opponent could've won if he had just passed his turn, instead of attacking, or when Axel dueled The Supreme King, where the damage was miscalculated so The Supreme King could've won with 50 LP left, but would've lost long beforehand if the LP had been calculated correctly. That was Jim's Duel with the Supreme King. The Japanese version incorrectly calculated the damage. The English dub actually fixed the error, and compensated by reducing Fossil Dyna's ATK to 1200 (instead of the Japanese version's 1300). This was actually brilliant because the IRL Fossil Dyna's ATK was released with 1200 ATK. The Team Unicorn thing pissed me off, but when I recently rewatched that Duel, I don't find it as bad. It's stupid writing, because it's blatantly "Yusei needs to win this", but the character logic is still MOSTLY intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would've advanced in the prelims, regardless of their victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. BTW, someone needs to find your YGO rants and link them together into a compendium. No offense, but you're REALLY good at ranting.

evilfusion Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 The issue with that is the varying locations I've made them over a period of like 5 years. A lot of my 5Ds rants are in that one Club I was in when 5Ds was airing. Zexal rants are probably in various TCG topics involving overreliance on No.39. No rants really here yet. Probably made a few in PMs or similar. Part of it is because I used to write stories all the time, eventually honing my skills really well. So when I watch the series, I analyze a lot of things and notice really poor or weak writing conventions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeline15 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Yeah, the team unicorn thing really pissed me off, because, up to that point, it had been one of the best duels in the entire show. So fast paced, so strategic, it felt like such a let down to end it in such a nonsensical way. Let alone when Yusei didn't even NEED to win. 5Ds is the best incarnation of yugioh in my opinion, but my god did it have some writing problems when it came to yusei. Regarding mad Chimera, with any luck it won't turn out to have that effect in the show, since sheep basically already has it. Shun would have just found his was around it with some other sort of effect anyway, because he's been built up too much for him to lose to anyone but Yuya at this point. Sora committed the sin of being the character who was around for longer, an therefore he had to die lose the duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Just watched Le SUBs [spoiler=Thoughts on 35 subbed] - After Shuzo left with the kids, it offered Yuya, Yuzu and Gongenzaka to talk about what they know (Some of which Gongenzaka is finding out for the first time) - Sora explains to Yuto that people who get hunted get put into cards (Like what Shun did to the LDS lot), but he says he doesn't know where Ruri is, but bets she became a card and he also states that the only way for Yuto/Shun to save their captured comrades is to destroy them all. - Sora and Yuya were aware that DRXD's effect wasn't OPT. Sora then realises that Yuto is holding back and making a fool out of him. - Reiji was against compiling a search party and letting Shun leave because he believed that Shun/the Search party would cause a scene and it'd ruin his plans.

Timeline15 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Damn. Yuto only used dark rebellion's effect once because he didn't want to hurt Sora unnecessarily, and, of course, Sora took it has Yuto humiliating him. I think at this point we could just chalk up that mad chimaera misplay last time to sora just being not all that smart. Yuya vs Yuto finally commences next time!

Toffee. Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 So.... After Shadow the Hedgehog went to go get revenge for Maria, he ended up dueling Sonic because the later first saw him as a fake-Sonic. So now, Sonic and Shadow are going to duel to prove who the fake hedgehog is.....Oh, wait, wrong game. Silly me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeline15 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 so, would Yugo be silver in this analogy? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 so, would Yugo be silver in this analogy? XDWell, no, but like.... Yuto speeding out at the fuckin' hospital, and being the black-deco of the main character lead me to throw SA2B into the mix.Yugo being Silver wont work, per say, since we know there are more then 3 dimensions, IE, more then 3 'mains'.

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 So, the good people of 2-chan managed to clear up the shadowy figure in the intro by editing the colors. [spoiler=His Identity Revealed] It's another Yuya lookalike, judging by his facial features and the dual-colored hair. Based on the coloring scheme, this is probably the Fusion version. And he stole Yusei's jacket, the b*****d. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeline15 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 wait, why did they go to the trouble of drawing a picture and shading it out, rather than just.... drawing a silhouette? They could have prevented people from ever doing that in the first place XD I assume this means he's gonna be unshaded in the actual opening at some point, which hopefully means we won't have to wait hugely long for his arrival.

~British Soul~ Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 It'll be funny if he ends up being Sora's boss/higher-up. That's what I've been thinking.

Sleepy Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 So I wonder what the plan is for Ritual Yuya, if that ends up being 5th Yuya. At this point I'm kinda doubting they'll give much of a place to Rituals since only a minor character has used one, and the showcase was more of a brief one compared to the others.

Jord200 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yeah, I'm with you both. Its probably either Sora's boss/superior, or Ritual!Yuya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Alexander Romanov Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 You know, if it really turns out they are all alternate versions of each other, it would be rather funny for Fusion!Yu- to be the leader of the guys that attacked Yuto, and is bossing around Yugo to fight Yuya. He's basically getting himself to attack himself and himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I think this series might keep up with the pattern of all main characters moving on to a mysterious destiny. Yugi wasn't around during GX Jaden went on his own to who knows where Yusei finished up science project of Momentum and is off doing who knows what Yuma kept his companions but didn't really go back to a normal life either What if all Yuya look-a-likes and Yuya himself get lost? The scene from the opening where Yuya and Yuto both close up enough to disappear behind Yuzu made me think about the chance of all realities warping and producing a sort of "original" entity with all of their ace cards and stuff? It sounds almost as weird as a theory that Astro Dude would say, I know... but still. Or... What if Yuzu IS Fusion Yuya? I mean, something's up about her bracelet and stuff.... and IDK.

~British Soul~ Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Look alive people, new character alert: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Professor According to the actor himself, the Professor is a character with high importance and a great impact to the story. This character is set to debut on episode 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeline15 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 hmm... purple coat, school related name... he's totally from the academy. also, I wonder if Yuzu's other counterparts besides Ruri will factor into the story at some point.
