[spoiler=The Plot]

So, if I got this right, Academia is a duel school on an island where the students wear red, yellow, and blue jackets. And said Academia is home to fusion summons. they for some reason attacked Heartland by using Ancient Gear Soldiers...

 

I wonder if the plot was people trying to figure out which of GX and ZeXal was more annoying.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Thoughts on 36 RAW]

- It was nice to see Heartland as it was in the Zexal universe, before the Ancient Gear nation attacked.
- The thing we see halfway through the opening was seen in this episode.
- Yuya definitely felt some kind of sensation when he Pendulum Summoned Odd-Eyes.
- Sora disappearing just as he was going to summon Mad Chimera was weird, but I suppose it was The Professor's doing.
- There definitely is a lot of dialogue that I can't wait for le subs to dicipher.

[spoiler=Episode 36]
So, it turns out the multiverse theory has been confirmed.
Academia is a future version of the Duel Academy of GX, which is an alternate timeline called the Fusion Dimension, while there is also a 5D's-based alternate timeline known as the Synchro Dimension.
Both of these are at war with the Xyz Dimension, otherwise known as an alternate ZEXAL universe.
And the ARC-V universe is caught in the middle of it all.
But yeah, GX and 5D's have teamed up to kick ZEXAL's ass.

If I would have to list every single ambiguous aspect of this show up to this point:

 

-Yuya's cards turning into Pendulums

-The Duel Disks can read Pendulums well enough/Same technology could interfere with Sora against Yuto

-Tatsuya's origins and his relationship with Reira

-Reira's PTSD nature and his relationship with Reiji/Himika

-Sora's origins and his preference of You Show + Yuya > LDS

-Reiji's transcendence of Pendulums

-Prof Marco and Masumi

-Yuzu's bracelet activating off will whenever Yuto/Yuya are near

-Shun's misconceptions of Yuzu with Ruri

-Who really is Ruri and what does she have to do with anything?

-Shun/Yuto being able to make duels seem real/similar powers to Aki's psychic powers

-Shun/Yuto's true objectives in the "Pendulum" world

-Multiple Universes

-Yugo and the Synchro World's affiliation and Yugo's role in the story (especially after Zero Reverse/Meklord Destruction)

-The Professor and the Academia (likely seeing more Ancient Gear Supports!)

-Avatars of each world and their dragons (Yuya + Odd-Eyes Pendulum, Yuto + Dark Rebellion Xyz, Yugo + Clear Wing Synchro)

-Are the past spin-offs canon with Arc-V?

 

This is all why I have never been hyped for the next episodes. Everything all keeps falling into near precision...

I think a few of those aren't necessarily all that mysterious...

 

- Marco seems to just be a fusion teacher that Masumi idolised. He was Shun's first victim, but I don't think he's anyone important.

- Shun confusing Yuzu and Ruri is just because they are presumably identical facially, like Yuya and Yuto, and in this show, having different hair, eyes, and voices isn't enough of a giveaway.

- I don't think the meklord event actually happened anymore in the 5Ds timeline. it was implied that Yusei would change the future based on what he found out from Z-ONE.

 

but yeah, all the others are still open. I didn't even stop to think how Tatsuya just sort of appeared. He was also the only one suspicious of Reira.... If he turns out to be someone important, it will be the most well hidden plot point in the entire history of yugioh. They basically screamed "Sora is lying!" at us, so having a second character hiding as one of the standard yugioh pep squad would be beyond amazing.

Well I guess it's not ambiguous but rather it's something we'd liek to know more about. Ruri's connection with Shun or Masumi's connection to Prof Marco isn't too mysterious but if it does explain some character then its somethign to stay tuned to aside from the main unwinding plot here.

So wait, Yugo is from a timeline where Yusei didn't beat Z-ONE, or the timeline where the Machine Emperors destroyed things, or what? Or is it the 5Ds timeline we knew?

[spoiler=   ]

As far as we know, ARC-V is about different dimensions not timelines. It was explained in the episode that there's Standard, Fusion, Synchro and Xyz dimensions. Z-ONE and Yusei probably don't even exist in Synchro Dimension, but they probably have/had a lookalike with different hair/eyes. (like Yuya/Yugo case)

 
Yu-Gi-Oh!, GX and 5D's are all in Standard dimension and the movie Bonds Beyond Time already confirms it. Not sure about ZEXAL, but I doubt it take place in Xyz dimension.

 

Still no love for Ritual summons.

[spoiler=Spoiler'']Never is it stated Arc-V or ZeXal takes place on the same universe as the previous series. Sure, we have a homage to old school monsters used by previous protagonists in one ZeXal episode, but they might be popular for different reasons there, and other than that, there are no explicit references to any previous installment, not even a name.[/spoiler]

You do realize, through the multiverse theory, that "dimension", "universe", and "timeline" can be one and the same, right?
Also, Bonds Beyond Time does NOT confirm that the Standard Dimension of ARC-V is the DM-GX-5D's timeline.

[spoiler=36 Thoughts]

  • Sora gets dragged to some school in another dimension right as he intends to Fusion Summon (presumably Chimaera). Also got some GX vibes from it, but we shall see.
  • What exactly did that scientist do to Sora near the end?
  • Yuto/Shun confirmed from the ZEXAL world (or dimension) to an extent based on flashback.
  • Even Reiji had some uncomfort towards the end. Again, need to see the subtitles to figure out what the hell was actually said.
  • Waiting for Yuto v Yugo to fight, if only for the Synchros. (If an Accel comes out, I'll be thrilled)

There's also some two minor things to thing about, maybe possibly trivial but kind of interesting to note:

 

-Why are Sora's clothes different from most of the Academy's standard primary color lineup? It fits more to the Professor's line so he supposed to be more special than we think?

-Why is Yugo a Synchro user when his name literally translates to Fusion? It has been pointed out in the preview summary, but it's still a bit odd.
