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.

 

 

If people say "timeline" it usually is implied Chronological movement within the same line.

If people say "alternate universe" they usually imply parallels in which a character might exist x amount of times in different mirrors of the same reality with slightly different things.

If people say "other world" it is usually similar to ZeXal's does it, with an Astral, a Barian, and Earth being totally different from each other.

Dimension is the vague word that probably overlaps stuff here.

GX's "dimensions" were sort of "higher planes" so it is also a different thing than any of the above.

 

I'm not saying what you are saying is wrong, I just say that for the intents of understanding what everyone means, lets not get into the "all are the same" deepness of it.

 

 

 

As far as I know, the show hasn't confirmed anything. It could just be other places within the same world for all we know. It could be different worlds too, though, which seems to be pointing out to be that. Or is there something I missed in some dialogue explicitly saying what all this is?

Won't know till I see the subs, but I'm pretty sure I heard uses of the word "sekai" in the episode, which I remember being used in Zexal and definitely meaning "world" (For context, it was used such as "Astral sekai" meaning Astral World, or "Barian sekai" meaning Barian World, according to the subs for THAT show). That seems to be a pretty big tip-off. 

 

Plus there's the fact that if this WAS happening in the same world and a city did get basically razed to the ground, I think Yuya and co would have heard about it, that kind of thing tends to attract worldy attention.

After watching subs,

I'm pretty sure academia is a future duel academia from gx as they are both on islands, train fusion duelist, and I noticed that the coats the students wore were colored slifer red, ra yellow and obelisk blue. Definately not a coincidence

I'm also hoping for the return of characters from previous series but I highly doubt it as in almost sure this takes place many years after zexal an the others. Main reason why is that all of the heart landers don't wear d-gazers or d-pads meaning they have become obsolete for the new d-disks.

I don't know why people are acting out about it. It's the same thing that happens everytime the anime translates things across. It's stupid, but there's no reason to act like it's a big shock anymore. 

I agree. So what if people think english names are shit, they just need to get over it.

Indeed, a lot of us already complained when ZEXAL got released in English, and some characters got their names screwed up dramatically.

This really isn't anything new, considering what they did to other anime. (It's still 4Kids or whatever their name is now; stopped caring about them after a while)

 

I stopped watching dubbed anime for the most part (except for movies and a few episodes of other series), so really not going to care much about whatever their names turn out to be in English.

 

 

Anyway, going to watch the subs now; I'll update this post with thoughts afterwards.

I for one believe that it doesn't matter how long the dub has done crappy things, it still have to be voiced even if just to let it sit there and be known. Even if it doesn't change the course of action the dub takes. I still wouldn't encourage it to go overboard though, just enough to not be a silent nod. If something was shitty in the past and still is, it still has to be brought up.

 

That said, I don't particularly care much because I don't watch dub. They change things too much. It almost makes me wonder why they'd even bother bringing it to this side if they'll censor the crap out of it and even change plot points at times. Especially in this day and age where even kids know about the subs through internet, or at the very least get to see what's gonna happen months from their time because the anime never runs simultaneously with the original in Japan. Also if it wasn't enough they don't even bother finishing up any of them, giving it less of a reason to bother with it.

 

GX was the only Yugioh dub I actually liked for this franchise, personally.

[spoiler=Thoughts on 36 SUBBED]

- It seems that Sora's duel disk had a device that sends him back to Acaademia if he revealed his true objectives to his enemy. Definitely sounds like a condition for the mission he was tasked with.
- Academia is a training school for Fusion soldiers, huh? This definitely spews GX to me, especially with the Ancient Gear Knights.
- So the duel was abandoned because Yuya said there was no way he could attack DRXD with OEPD after Yuto dared him to.
- We find out that the dimension that Yuya 'n everyone is from is called Standard. Seems pretty standard to me...*shot*
- Akaba Leo's ambition seems to have something to do with the Fusion dimension invading the Xyz dimension. Akaba Leo is probably liasing with someone in that dimension or something.

[/spoiler]

 

Gong can be tolerable through time

I agree, Gong seems as tolerable as Kotori becoming Tori.

[spoiler=36 sub]

  • So the multiverse theory was true after all.
  • Reiji claims that whatever is happening can be traced to his father.
  • Sora still has that large ego of his, especially around Yuto/Shun (but we knew that)
  • Yugo seems a lot more wild/brash than I had imagined him to be, especially after hitting a light pole when coming out of whatever portal.
  • Yuto/Shun are confirmed to be from ZEXAL (Heartland); can probably confirm that since Kotori and Rio's monsters were shown (although whether or not they were mass produced remains unknown)
  • Sora couldn't finish match, since Disc was auto-programmed to teleport him back.

[/spoiler]

 

Yeah, it was a good episode.

And again, Reira is still scared like who knows what.

The funny thing about the dub names, if true, is that Zexal's dub names WEREN'T actually that terrible.

 

Yuma kept his name. Akari's name became Kari or something. Kotori because Tori. No comment about Tetsuo. That was dumb. Even other characters got alright transitions, if memory serves. NO COMMENT on Kaito. NONE. Other than, all things considering, the name wasn't THAT bad. I just really hated it. Nasch's name was simply spelled "Nash". Vector kept his name, as did Don Thousand. III, IV, and V got acceptable similarities.

 

My biggest gripe with the Zexal dub was that Yuma's voice was insufferable. Therefore, I watched almost nothing of the dub, not only because it was inferior, but because it was physically painful. All other dubs of previous series were a bit lame at times, but never outright PAINFUL to listen to.

 

I don't get Reiji's dub name at all, though.

 

Anyway, on the episode...it was really good.

Out of consideration, Kaito could've been translated as "kite" or "Kaito" in Japanese; though assuming 4Kids or whoever thought it was the former and did that.

Then again, I stopped caring for ZEXAL dubs after episode 9 or something; hell I still need to watch the subs from 21 on.

 

*slowpoke.jpg*

 

We can only wonder what the kids will be named in English, but yeah Reiji's dub name doesn't make sense.

But since I stopped watch dubs unless I have to, probably won't care about what the rest of LDS is named (or even Shun/Yuto/Yugo, etc).

Have I mentioned that we could've had a much more professionally-done ZEXAL dub with JOHNNY YOUNG BOSCH AS YUMA AND VIC MIGNOGNA AS SHARK?!?
If only the 4Kids lawsuit didn't fall apart...

This stuff is what a dub discussion and complaint thread is for.

You're right. I should go over to the Zexal dub complaint thread right now, point out that the Zexal dub names weren't awful, all things considering, and mention how Yuma's voice is insufferable. This will come out of nowhere without the context of why I brought it up, which is in this thread, where people mentioned dub names and referred to dub names as terrible, citing Zexal as an example.

 

Anyway, back on topic. This episode is awesome because it's starting to get deeper and things are starting to get moving more. I wasn't sure at first exactly how the "Sora is nuts" aspect would be cleared up on the You-Show side of things. The answer: Sora's been temporarily removed from the plot.
