Mai is a great character and a very nice fit for the themes of the show that should've gotten a bit more to do but I'll admit I kinda love how Takahashi threw her away almost immediately after Jou's coma dream in which she actually wasn't present.

At least the Doma arc tried to give her something meaningful to do and some cool new cards.

Which then never got released until a decade later and at which point they were reworded to the point that they were unusable, but details.

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.
New chapter of the Arc-V manga introduces the Yuri persona of Yuya. It's also amazing.

It's weird to introduce an alternate personality of the protagonist who is more vicious and bloodthirsty and then in the same chapter have them get owned and need to be saved by the original personality.

I've enjoyed the manga versions, but the official translations for them are always so awkward. Especially the GX manga which was riddled with typos and mistakes.

Arc-V manga seems cool as heck. I really dig the repartee between the four Yus and how they relate to Yuzu.

Why the hell does the official translation constantly use "summons"? It makes no sense and sounds completely wrong.

Also manga Yuri is pretty great. Really different from the anime one too, though I guess that comes with going from villain to anti-hero.

Maybe the translators think it's narration somehow?

1. Translators probably don't play the game/ corroborate with people that do.
2. Probably think of it as "I have a summons for you from the king!"

Direct translation from Japanese. Tribute Summoning was always called Advance Summoning.

Like I said, the official translations are kind of a mess. The GX manga couldn't decide between using the dub or sub names, and sometimes cards had their text copied from a card on the opposing page. The 5D's one kept changing card names mid-sentence, particularly Kiryu's Infernity cards. And the Zexal manga had summaries that were often wrong.

I know that, it's just incomprehensible to me that a translator wouldn't at least check an already available official resource that has a poo poo ton of translations right there for you.

It sure was nice to see EGAO again this episode, I had nearly forgotten that scene!

In all seriousness, it was a really neat episode, even if its ending felt kind of weak. Arc-V Kaito is cool, and Yuya vs Kaito was a really sweet duel.

Wasn't the joke that the duel breads were all loving nasty (even the golden eggwich) and people only wanted them because finding the golden one meant you were a good drawer? Seems odd to be selling one.

To represent GX, they should have gone with Duel Curry. Includes carrots, onions, potatoes, cumin, chili peppers, cinnamon, and dinosaur meat. :v:

Season 1 episode, the episode was basically about Jaden and co. wanting to get a Golden Egg Sandwich because it was rare and you get it by pulling one of the sandwiches out of a loving bin of them that you eat during lunch. At some point people realize the sandwiches are being stolen and the Chumley Gang finds out it is a student who has been training in the Jungle of Duel Academy Island to become a better drawer because he always got the lovely rotten egg sandwiches and he is now buff as hell and looks like Mako Tsunami but with less goggles.

Season 1 of GX was pretty fantastic.

Iirc the regular sandwiches were fine, it was the rotten egg ones that sucked and you only got if you were poo poo at pulling out a loving sandwich.

That's how food in general should work tbh. Speaking of drawing egg sandwiches, the episode ended with Alexis pulling the golden one and tonight she debuts on Arc V.

Until season 3.

Those were all bad especially the latter since we already got that from five businessmen cycling through a teenager's body.

Neos looks like a dolphin hosed an alien and all of its variations looked terrible. The Masked Heroes from the manga are a cooler way to take the archetype that still keeps the E-Hero gimmick and has cool designs.
