[spoiler='Warning: contains spoilers for upcoming episodes']I wonder if Sawatari's new Deck will be an Igknight Deck, since it's a new theme debuting in CORE, which corresponds to the last episodes of Season 1, that's been considerably promoted by Konami. Not to mention, this way, he'll have used all four elemental attributes - EARTH (Darts Shooter), WATER (Mobius), WIND (Yosenju) and FIRE (Igknight). It'd be awesome if a member of the main cast ran a Deck consisting primarly of FIRE monsters - we didn't have that since GX.[/spoiler]

Yeah, to be honest I found this quite jarring. ARC-V has tried to at least remain on the side of plausibility, and this (along with the inexplicability of how apparently Ep 46 ended almost at sunset despite how it's impossible that hours have passed, and the whole "oooh, we lost contact with the cameras" and nobody ever getting suspicious about it. Seriously, they did the same thing in ZeXal, and while in ARC-V they HAVE reused many tropes from ZeXal, but at least giving them some plausible explanation, here they didn't make it any more plausible. Couldn't they have instead had Reiji project footage of some fake duel? It would have cemented his status as a crazy prepared mastermind who has always a backup plan, would be plausible since he already knew that someone, probably Academia's goons, would have crashed the Battle Royale, and would've neatly avoided this unnecessary plot hole) is really irritating me. Writers, what the hell? YOu were doing so good up to now! Also, while the Battle Royale spanning the entire city is admittedly a supercool idea, they COULD've shown that there were some areas that were considered "off game" so as to not give the impression that everyone who DIDN'T go to the stadium would've been forced to stay at home all day, which is really, really unlikely and would paralize the city for an entire day - something that Reiji, being a businessman, should know not to be a good thing at all. So, why?

 

That said, stupid plot holes notwithstanding, I'm really hyped for what's coming next: apparently, Dennis isn't Yuuri, but he's still involved with the whole dimension war thing. What if he is the "pawn of Fusion", the mercenary everyone seems to keep mistaking Yugo for? After all, it didn't really make sense for Yuto and Shun to harp on the whole "pawn of Fusion" thing just for Yugo's name. They had to be already suspecting of the presence of a mercenary working for Academia. Or at least, it seems plausible now.

 

EDIT: Okay, no. I remembered that Yuto had actually met Yugo before and they clashed in a flashback, so it's likely that the whole "pawn of Fusion" thing was just born from that misunderstanding.

 

While I agree that it is short-sighted of LDS to prevent people from leaving the stadium, their reasoning is completely legit: It's for people's safety. They have never used Solid Vision outside of stadiums, so concern for people involving Action Fields (where attacks and monsters have mass) is reasonable. But if the Battle Royale is supposed to take 24 hours, that is just stupid.

 

People weren't suspicious of the camera feeds, but they were mad about it. And in the last case, Nico Smiley actually outright noted that an outsider had entered the Field (Mieru), but it does seem weird they felt the need to cut the feed in that case. It looks suspicious as hell. Like is said outsider going to be escorted from the field by security? Blocking that implies something the public shouldn't see (abusive treatment, perhaps).

 

However, the whole point of blocking the feeds for the Academia intruders was to prevent a panic. Considering that losers get turned into cards, that's a damn good reason not to show the public what's happening.

 

To be fair, the city-wide Action Field was a last-minute setup. They felt they had to do it that way because Reiji knew Academia was coming, and the tournament was CRUCIAL to his plan. Nothing was more important than determining Duelists capable of fighting Academia. And to prevent a panic of the sudden invaders, the Battle Royale would enable the participants (and outside help) to fight off the Academia Duelists without involving the city innocents. In this sense, locking the city down may seem like a stupid thing (because seriously...being kept in a stadium all day...), but it actually puts the majority of the city in a safer place, where he and his officials can make sure they're safe.

LID would have sounded better if we didn't internally associated it to actual lids...LDS was cool but it was all to prevent them from getting their asses sued. I'm sure we can get along with LID eventually. It's not that bad compared to other name changes.

OR... we could NOT watch the dub and keep referring to everything by their original names. Just a thought XD

That's the German dub's one; but basically to avoid any Hitler references.

That works.

Some name changes are fine; others are stupid.

 

Also, Zuzu is the German name for Yuzu (as far as Wikia was concerned); but whether or not they retain it in the English one, idk.

Probably will use their original names.

Like Black mentioned, they probably changed the name to avoid any copyright things with the religious group that shares the initials.

(Or they could've went with LSD [Leo School for Duelists (or whatever)]; though some of us would use this for Life Stream Dragon in certain cases)

 

In most cases, probably staying with the subs; unless there's a good reason that I should watch dubs.

Assuming the Wikia is correct right now, Yuzu has a Synchro Dimension counterpart named Rin.

But we'll have to see the episode to confirm if it is indeed true (but no picture though).

 

[spoiler="RAW episode thoughts"]It's true.

 

- NOOOOO, not Olga and Halil; I liked them.

- I'm liking Yuri's brand of evil; even his special OST is epic.

- Fusion Dragon, even as a silhouette, is creepy as heck.

- Was Synchro Dimension invaded too?

- Yugo was great to watch in his duel against Obelisk Force.

- Prophecy guy (forgot his name) wasn't prepared for this; he should have heeded Shun's warning.

- Confirmation that Yuzus and their bracelets keep the Yuyas away from each other; my speculation is that it's a safety measure to prevent them from absorbing each other.

- Dennis is a rat.

- Tiger finally makes his debut; we might see Wolf at some point too.

- Serena X Shun.

[spoiler='47 RAW thoughts']

time to join the discussion

 

-Dennis is on fusion dimension side
-Yuri turn halil and olga to cards instantly...well ok, the secondary characters have too much screentime lately,and i thought yuzu would go berserk on yuri

-Lancers defeated, and i'm expecting they would be at least better than obelisk force with great moth and propechy ._.
-Yugo know the fusion dimension army, probably already attacked synchro dimension (though the place yugo's flashback seems more like zexal universe)

-Yugo follow yuya and doing OT3K himself, though its mostly because the obelisk force's card

-Dennis want to bring Yuya to Yuri? for what...

-Shun wounded by sora....his playstyle suddenly getting worse from offensive and counter to weak swarming without protection...really?

-Yugo meet yuzu, both mistake each other for their counterparts, i'm expecting yugo to duel yuzu because of that (not happening of course)

-Professor seems to be gathering Yuzu Counterparts from all dimensions, and probably already capturing xyz and synchro counterpart, Ruri and Rin, only need Yuzu and Serena

-Yugo and Yuzu transported by yuzu's bracelet..... to synchro dimension?

-Next Sora Vs Shun VS Serena?

[spoiler=Thoughts on 47 RAW]

- So it's Tatsuya vs Reira in the Junior class final. As much as I would like Tatsuya to win, I reckon Reira will be the winner

- Where'd Halil and Olga get the bathtub anyway? Well it doesn't matter since they're cards now

 - Speaking of, the Fusion Dimension's duel disks are essentially polaroid cameras when they turn people into cards.

- Yuu was able to escape cardification (Gonna call it that now) thanks to Yuugo defeating the Obelisk Force

- We now that that Yuzu's synchro dimension counterpart is Rin and that she's being held in the Fusion Dimension

- Really want to know where Yuzu and Yuugo buggered off to. (Probs the Synchro Dimension most likely)

 - Her bracelet also caused Yuri to bugger off to

  - Though we still have Mr Suspicious, Dennis running about, who's on Yuri's side.

- Sawatari wants in on the battle royale, can't wait to see what his deck is going to be from now on.

- Ofc we'd only see a silhouette of Yuri's dragon, can't wait to see what that'll be like when it appears in full in like a couple of months or so. (I'm only assuming this, and I reckon it'll be the next cover card)

- Sora's new Fluffal (Mouse) is too cute, and I'm not surprised that it spawned multiple copies (see below)

 - I knew Sora would win using Frightfur Tiger, I think we all saw that coming.

- Oh yeah, Yuri and Yuya shame the same VA.
