I like Bakura's slightly new look. Him in the manga was always just this chill creepy nerd, so it's fitting that his face would get a bit chubbier.

I kinda really like Yuya's classic shonen faith in everyone thing because that's what let him understand what Sora was trying to say instead of assuming he carded Yuzu and was waving her helmet to further break his spirits.

What the gently caress Shinji? Yuzu crashed like 5 minutes ago and you're already like "no point being sad Yuya, let me use you as a stepping stone for our revolution". You've got some good points but show some compassion dude. I do kinda like how Yuya is in another duel where there is no way the audience is going to cheer for him, except this time he doesn't seem to care about it at all. Also, i'm looking forward to his new monster, i'm guessing it was that one which showed up in the intro. I'm glad it's not a Dragon.

Oh and Sora might be a crazy child soldier who delights who delights in the destruction of the weak, but he's still a good friend. :3:

LOWTAX'S SPINE FUND

The saddest thing is that Shinji doesn't even anger me anymore. Don't get me wrong, he definitely angered me during his duel against Tsukikage, but during this episode I just felt like falling asleep every time he opened his dumb mouth. He says "revolution" more than Kurosaki shouts "RURI". An amazing feat, no doubt, but a really lame one.

Just go murder the tops already, geez. Nobody cares about your endless (if justified) whining.

Shinji spent his whole first duel talking about how the Commons were stronger than they looked, and then he makes fun of Yuya for summoning a monster with low attack.

This is gonna reach maximum :downs: when people poo poo on Yuya for using Tuning Magician next week, five minutes after Sergey used a bunch of 0/0 monsters to paint the highway with Yuzu's blood.

It could be a mistranslation I suppose, but it looks like that's what its effect is. I'm looking forward to them justifying what its "purpose" is. Though I guess a level one tuner is never really bad.

I decided to pick up Arc V from episode 777 (I've kind of been following this thread so I at least know what's going on and who everyone is) and the very first thing I see is Literally The Double X spamming the Twin Satellite Cannon a bunch.

I think I'm going to like this show.

You should watch from episode 1 because Arc V is good. Also, because it's been surprisingly dense plotwise and if you've just been vaguely following the thread there's probably a bunch of details you missed.

Probably a bit impractical to quickly watch 77 episodes though. But I do recommend checking them out at some point, it's been a fun ride.

Yeah go back to a Gongenzaka duel. His first opponent is a X-Saber player that basically plays solitaire on him.

It's a kid's show on a long runner budget, I'm sure if there's anything particularly important there'll be a flashback or some character expositing about it.

Also 76 was conveniently a recap episode so I feel like I'm pretty good on what's happening in the current arc. :v:

pfft. That recap was on only 25 episodes of 75, you missed double the amount they recapped in content. I don't think they even explained what Sora's deal was when he made his somewhat dramatic return that episode. :colbert:

I am probably the only one here, but I think Shinji is one of the best characters on the show. His desire for retribution is a nice change of pace from the desire for a hivemind that shounen protagonists all want.

There is lot of irony in saying the dude who is trying to rally everyone into thinking the same thing as him is a fresh character and that the protagonists are somehow the ones trying to establish a hivemind.

Speaking of Shinji, was it just last episode or can the dude not go a sentence without talking about class warfare?

It was like Yuya was dueling a NPC with only two lines.

However, revolution and violence are the opposite of status quo and unification by its own inherent nature. Understanding Shinji as not a leader, but an instigator of a governmental overthrow first makes his use of community a means to an end.

Shinji's only interesting in that he's a failed rioter that's probably gonna be forgotten and abandoned as soon as he loses due to the nature of the city. It'll be cool if we see a bit of him after the lost and he realizes that, like last time, everyone just kinda forgot about his words a few minutes after his duel.
