I'm sure Reiji has like 8 separate ways of getting out of this "precarious" situation.

Assuming that Reiji has nothing like a simple MST, he can just:
Use Covenant with the Witch
Use Orthros Scale Ef
Use Siegfried Eff
Use Beowulf Eff
Use Kali Yuga Eff
Use Kaiser Eff
Use King Pedragon Eff (did you remember this card even existed)?

Also:
Leonidas Negates Burn
D'Arc heals him.

So scary.

Seriously though, they couldn't have given Jean more interesting cards than more Ancient Gears? Like I guess I should count my blessings that he didn't just summon more of those dumb Gear Hounds.

I really hope Leo doesn't have a Gear deck too.

Sergei has Earthbound Servants, Roger has Earthbpund Rulers. Makes sense.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
More than his cards I can't wait to see how ROGET scurries out of here :allears: dude has no loving chance and he's about to lose his own bargaining chip, this could just be his big finale and he ends up in jail or whatever but I really want him to just go full starscream and run to his Megatron and probably get experimented on or something.

Also quick echo on the rest of the thread: that duel was amazing, the payoff to Yuya's struggles was amazing. That play was excellent, long live the smiles i guess!

The Lancers don't kill. :colbert: except for Shun and Serena and I think Yuya that one time, and Reira was probably trained to kill and Reiji just let all those academia kids get murdered because he knew only Yuya and friends could be trusted...

He hasn't...? I do remember him summoning them literally every duel.

DRXD/OERD uses since they came to synchro:

Vs. Jack (1): Summoned DRXD, lost.
Vs. Crow: Summoned DRXD, summoned OERD, won.
Vs. Obelisk Force: Summoned DRXD, won with it, OEPD and Enlightenment Paladin.
Vs. Barrett/Sergey: Summoned DRXD, summoned OERD, lost.

That's literally it.

In other news, Kaiba Corp now has the majority of stocks of Shueisha.
The company's new focus is the Dueling World and development of dueling disc systems.
Not known if the previous owner jumped out of a window to his death.

It was less about them screwing up at recruiting people and more that they accidentally foiled Rogers plan to take over The City and put a new government in place. Sure, there will probably be chaos for a while, but I'm certain a mixed council will eventually set things right.

I noticed they were going for the cards things, but never thought that the parents' outfits were in the shapes of hearts and spades lol. Also, due to naming convention (Reiji being Diamond and using DDD while Reira has Clubs and uses CCC) we can expect the final duels to have some SSS and that's kinda rad.

Someone in the Japanese fandom posted an interesting theory.

Holy poo poo, Roger in the latest episode. :allears:

He gets owned by Reiji in a single turn. Summons an unending army of clones while gloating about his victory.
Reiji creates an auto combo that annihilates his clone army. Starts gloating about how Reiji was evil all along and he was a good guy.
Nobody believes this story because it's the loving stupidest lie ever. Gloats about how it doesn't matter and that he's already won.
The elevator he's on explodes and he falls 10 storys. Gets right back up and pushes a button to destroy the dimension, still loving gloating that he's the best.

And this is all happening as he quickly gets more and more insane.


I'm so loving sad to see him go. :(

I'm impressed with how much of Heartland cityscape they retained. They could have easily got right of all of it and come with with whatever they want, but instead they kept the tower and the massive wall for the park and everything.

I will miss Roger, though I'll hold out for him returning through his Xtreme (tm) Wormhole.

Stealth Roger cameo in Dark side of Dimensions.
More likely though he comes back, even more unhinged (which is good), and part of the 'real badguy's' minion squad.

As it stands the lack of character they've given Leo is not making me look forward to him as a capstone villain.

I'm sure they'll use this Arc to flesh Leo out as the main bad, unless they somehow find a way to host a tournament in the smouldering remains of Heartland.

Come to think of it, most of the main bad guys / gals have never really been fleshed out, it's more been the underlings.

GX season 2, 3 and 4 all focused intensely on their respective season villains. Season 1 of 5Ds too I suppose.

PowerBeard

Sadly I didn't get that same impression for GX (because I watched the Dubs) and they were far too busy making jokes about the Abridged Series to be taken seriously.

5Ds was a great step up though, it felt like they were willing to retain the storyline as best as possible.
