Sawatari will escape from trash hell and then duel Yuri to protect her.

Shun deserves his upcoming time-out at the garbage pit and get scolded by all his Lancers buddies until he accepts that they're cool and helps out breaking out of there.

Gongenzaka is the only person in the group he actually likes, so this is what will probably happen. But he will defeat Crow first.

I can't wait for this to blossom to a nuanced, compelling relationship, deftly delivered by the experts of romance that are the Yugioh anime writing staff.

I just want the same level of romance for Sawatari and Serena as the ED scene. Like he tries to flirt with her and she's just so oblivious and uninterested in him that she doesn't even realize she's rejecting him (like with that sleep punch) "Well, after all that dueling to save the City from Academia i'm famished, what do you say we enjoy our victory over dinner?~" "My dueling was barely good enough, I need to train more. Yuya will probably agree to waste time and dine with you."

Because Yuri can't be interested in Serena like the rest of the Yu's and their girls. What with being a horrible psychopath. So instead she'll break convention and get with Sawatari, who will finally have a proper, full on screen dramatic duel where he loses and is carded by Yuri.

He will be the first to complete the circuit and lose to all 4 Yu's.

It's still super suspicious that Serena doesn't even seem to know the Yu from her dimension unlike all the other bracelet girls though.

Yuri seems to work like the loving Boogeyman rather than an actual human being in his dimension, so that's not surprising.

Duels are more dramatic and would generally be the place for character revelations, and backstories.

I think I preferred the first round dueling wise but the battle royale was fantastic just for how much stuff was happening and for having really little downtime despite going for around 10 or so episodes I want to say.

Everything about that duel except Crow winning was great, but really, there's nowhere for Shun to go after beating Dennis. Still, I would've rather Yuya de-assholed him than Crow.

The scene we didn't see at the end was the dudes trying to take Shun underground and Shun bicycle kicking their heads off and bailing to go beat up Sora.

Shun finding Sora can't happen next episode because Tsukikage is going to confront the guy who carded his brother and we can't have two vengeful teens attack Sora in the same episode.

Huh? Kyuubi's pretty good.

And, yeah, the general gist to both of Crow's duels is that the Lancers going against him didn't go full blast. Gongenzaka coulda stomped Crow while he was distracted, but didn't, because Gongenzaka is awesome and honorable. Shun could've gone for an Action Card during the last turn, but didn't because he accepted that the Friendship Cup wasn't his battlefield. It's a pretty huge piece of development in Shun's case.

If Tsuki's going in and out, he could've told them. If not, Shun can. If neither of them do, nope.

It'd be kinda great if there's no breaking out of the mines thing and Tsukikage just leads them out the elevator like nothing and they all gaze at the destroyed City and have all the revelations told offhandedly.

"Oh and then Shun discovered Dennis was from Academia"
"What?!"
"Yeah, it was fun shooting an orbital strike at his metal gear, probably should've told you that during VHS Mountain"
"Yuya might be a god of sorts split into four, btw"

I kind of wonder if neither will tell them just because Gongenzaka was probably the lancer who spent the most time around Dennis , and they might want to pull some more drama out of his betrayal with having Gon encounter him during the Syncro invasion. Though I suppose the same thing could happen even if someone told Gon he was a traitor.

Full version of Speaking if anybody cares, it's a pretty neat song imo. Lyrics below since they're interesting

quote:

Hey, let me ask you. What's your favorite song?
Hey, what would you say if we just got up and ran off together
and we talked without hiding the blue of our hearts?

Yeah, wake up to bedtime!
Let's make this our best day!
Well, come here, come here!
Everyone, everyone feels lonely sometimes

Even the teacher doesn't know.
Even our best friends don't know.
Don't you want to talk to someone?
I mean, just talk!
No need to beat around the bush.
There's nothing wrong with being sad.
Don't you want to talk to someone?
I mean, just talk!
Just talk to me!

Hey! Let me ask you. Who is the person you like?
It would be so nice if this world is filled with love
Just scream out without hiding the blue of your instinct

Hey! Let’s be open!
And be the best of ourselves
Well, come here, come here!
Everyone, everyone thinks that they’re by themselves sometimes.

You still don’t know everything
You still haven’t noticed
Don’t you just want to talk to someone?
Just let me stay by you!
No need to beat around the bush.
There's nothing wrong with being sad.
Don't you want to talk to someone?
Just talk to me!
Just talk to someone!

Let’s dance happily until dawn
Let’s celebrate our first kiss (As in each one's individual first kiss with other people, like "hey i got my first kiss at that party last week!" "i got my first kiss a few days ago too! high five!")
No need to be shy,
Let’s talk about our hobbies or talents!

But what you want to know
Is none other than “you yourself,” isn’t it?
What are you trying to convey to that certain someone
With the message you send with your fingertips?
“I’m going to fall if I’m not going to speak about it”
“I’m going to get hurt if I don’t learn.”

No one knows about you!

Even the teacher doesn't know.
Even your best friends don't know.
Don't you want to talk to someone?
It'll be fine, so just talk!
No need to beat around the bush.
Let’s have a good time! Let’s jump up!
Don't you want to talk to someone?
I mean, just talk!

C'mon, just talk to me!

Given how Yuya and Sora's talk went a few episodes ago it looks like the ED is sorta about their friendship, of Yuya trying to get Sora to open up and say express all the stuff that he's bottling up due to being a child soldier and all that, wouldn't be surprised if Sora pulls a Face Turn and then the cloud that's behind Yuya in the ED gets removed to reveal Sora was there.
