I actually sort of liked the dubbed version, if only because they didn't jump all over the city watching everyone's little struggles, instead staying on the duel. This cut out the tornado a great deal.

 

That was one of my frustrations with rewatching the subbed versions: They just keep jumping the scene. And while some of the scenes had value to them, like Aki rescuing the girl, I didn't care much for it then or now.

 

That said, the dub dialogue annoys me a little.

Yeah in America these episodes are supposed to be less than 22 minutes long. Maybe, if they release it on DVD it'll appear as deleted scenes.

Yusei said this: "my Attempt to Acceeeellll Synchroooooo!!"

 

though i was surprised that they put in music from GX in this episode...... from when the purple pillar came up

 

I did they cut out that bit where Yusei is in the world of Momentum?

It's a shame, all the 7 year olds watching that will never understand the true epicness of that scene.

if you're talking about the bit when Yusei had the White body and is slowly spinning towards the blank card which reveals itself to be SSD, then no

 

i was also surprised when Yusei was holding the blank synchro card (in the previous episode), it was the Japanese version of the card

Let me guess, they played Hyperdrive instead?

 

I should watch it dubbed... If I can find it anywhere, I want to see how badly they butchered it.

 

It's on Youtube, but mirrored (which is distracting), because that somehow doesn't count as copyright infringement, but that's the best we can get right now.

SQD will probably get lame dialogue to accompany its Summon, like most Summons. SSD had Clear Mind playing in the original, and is butchered by not having it.

 

Also, a weird complaint. Normally, whenever the dub cuts to commercials (the sub does it too), it repeats the last line/action after the momentary fade to black. This is extremely annoying in come cases (The sub repeating when Aporia drew his last card was annoying). However, when Wisel tried to absorb Stardust before the Accel Synchro, they did the commercial "fade to black", but did not repeat the last moment with Wisel's tendrils (the sub actually DID, or at least kept the obvious event in focus) and I felt the lack of transition was jarring.

 

Although then again, I always felt the sheer amount of time between "I activate Wisel Infinity's effect to take your Synchro monster" and "I tune Stardust and Formula..." was too much in both versions. Also something to notice: If a Machine Emperor doesn't absorb the Synchro extremely quickly, it'll be counterd.

 

Which makes me wonder whether the holograms/Duel Disks are aware of potential counters and take longer to give a player time to react. Attacks and effects occur extremely quickly if there's no counter, but take forever if there is one.

It's pretty much the same as us saying "Response?" after doing something, I guess.

 

Did they use "Let's rev it up" for SSD? If they did, my ears shall bleed.

No, they didn't. Yusei said some sort of long-winded sentence that seemed partially in place of SSD's Synchro chant, but had nothing to do with it, and more in line with him succeeeding in the Accel Synchro.

The dub for the SSD episode was pretty good. 5D's dub isn't that bad after watching a couple episodes. It's not as good as GX's dub, but better than the original's dub.

 

I agree. Ronnie Taylor usually plays good guy roles like Ash or May or Amelia. Bad guy roles like Diaspro, Duel Ghoul Fonda Fontaine and Dark Carly, she makes them sound epic. The guy that voiced Tristan from episode 10 of the original onward is Yusei, so that's pretty awesome. I just wish Tara Jayne was in this.

 

My fave duels in the 5d's dub were Yusei vs. Trudge round 1, Yusei vs. Armstrong, Yusei vs. Leo, Yusei vs. Akiza round 2, and All the Dark Signer Duels. But that's just me.

That's true.

 

Well tomorrow is the finale of Primo's Plan. What do you think will happen?

 

Placido's duel runner will explode, but you won't see him lying on the ground in half(It'll be cut, even though he's mechanical <_<)

They'll cut something. I bet they will. The episode is called "The Three Emperors Of Yliaster" not "Primo's Plan, Part 5" Because that's a awful name.

in the dub yes, in japan it was called "The Three Emperors Of Yliaster",

but it's only called that name imo because it has the conclusion of the duel between Yusei and Placido,

although to be fair they tell Yusei their purpose in this world and about the purpose of the chaos that the WRGP became trapped in. so it could be the reason why it's connected with the other 4 parts
