Personally, I'd have to say this one is my favorite of the bunch.

I have to wonder who thought the lyrics "I can hear you breathing" had anything to do with Yugioh.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
I will say that I prefer the GX subs to dubs... but I will also bring up that I never got GX on TV and wound up watching through to the Society of Light arc with just Raws because Yu-gi-oh is very effective at getting a point across even in another language.

But I will say the GX dub is pretty loving funny.

Arc V has pleasantly surprised me with its music, especially the cheesy second ED sung by Yuuya and Reiji. Not that I've watched the entirety of any other series to compare, but 4 for 4 seems hard to beat.

I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it is pretty great. On the other, 4Kids stopped me from getting into One Piece for many years, and I'm sad to have missed out. V:shobon:V

Edit: Also, it's super infectious. Once I listen to it it's stuck in my head for hours.

The One Piece Rap would have been part of the pantheon of Good 4Kids openings (Shaman King, Ultimate Muscle, Pokemon) if not for the fact that they did in fact dub "We are" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrHO6DtFJ-Y) and, for all intents, everyone was sort of expecting that to open out the first episode of the 4kids dub and when we got the rap it sort of became the focal point for a lot of the (not at all undeserved, mind) anger towards the 4kids dub.

Not having Dan Green being the Narrator (as opposed to Eric Stewart) also sorta stings.

The 5D's opening sorta suffers the same thing because "Ride to Survive" is just that much better.

I think the implication was that he was always going to (Last bit of lingering thing tying KC with it's previous Gozoboro ran incarnation and all that) but the way things played out made it look like it was all Sour Grapes over Yugi.

Actually, now that I think about it, blowing up the island is the last bit of real viliny Kaiba gets up to.

Most likely three years since that's what 5D's and ZeXal went on for and it gives a good 'era' worth of booster packs before introducing a new element to the card game.

Yuto and Yugo, not Yuya. Yuto and Yugo are voiced by Manpei and Shinpei Takagi, respectively, who are indeed twins. Yuya is voiced by the totally unrelated Kensho Ono, who, as an entirely out of topic detail, has experience controlling an orange-red dragon with two stronger forms, one of which gets constantly ignored (seriously, where's Rune-Eyes?), being the voice of the protagonist of the Pokemon Mega Evolution specials, Alan.

Meanwhile Yuzu and Selena are voiced by the same person, which is more logical since they look the same (or so the series says...) and you'd expect them to sound the same too (though their VA gives Selena a rather deeper voice)

Yuzu and Selena look closer than Yuya and Yugo do. Hell, before they faded from Yuya's face into Yuto's, I didn't see it either.

They're pretty decent cases of sameface, it's just that it's a children's anime so the budget means the faces aren't consistent enough even in the same characters and any person that watches anime is pretty much indoctrinated to see the ridiculous hair to distinguish characters since samefacing is a common way to save some money in character design for animation.
Arc-V does well in making most characters have widely different faces, there's nobody with a face quite like Gongenzaka or Yuzu's dad, and the kids are extremely different from one another.

The dub soundtrack had some good songs too, I think. I remember the composer had them up on his site to listen to and some were really good, about on par with the Japanese tracks.

If there's any real problem with Arc-V, it's this. Yuya is cool, but he hogs the spotlight for like, ever.
