And as eye-rolling as it was, I've definitely got to give props to the manga writers having Astral outright confess to being in love with Yuma at the end of the manga. That's a pretty big deal for a shounen series.

I'm pretty sure Astral is a Genderless alien being, so nothing really subversive there. Hell, I'd say Yubel was more subversive...

Late GX didn't even remotely try to pretend Judai was straight and it was great. He fully accepts he loves Johan when asked by Yubel, and his other possible love interest (Yubel) is literally half-male, half-female in their monster form and absolutely ambiguous in their human form, with nothing pointing either way.

He also constantly plays dumb to Asuka's advances and doesn't return Rei's. Then again, by S3 GX makes no attempt to hide it is Card Game Evangelion either (seriously, Asuka and Rei) so this isn't very surprising.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
The first, last, only and first episode of Gx you need to watch is 172, which isn't dubbed sadly, just watch that and then watch the whole series if you feel like it.

The second half it takes itself seriously and it doesn't work. Which sucks as 172 dubbed would have been the best Yugioh episode ever.

Definitely but it also has some of the coolest GX archetypes and duels.

The Arc-V manga is still good. Apart from the weird translation, that is. Ren's White monsters are pretty cool and an interesting archetype, coming back from the dead as ever-higher-level Tuners. Clear Wing Fast Dragon is pretty neat too, with its effect of sealing an opponent's effect and reducing its attack to zero, usable on either turn.

That said I have to seriously wonder why Yuya and Yugo get new versions of their dragons (Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon and Clear Wing Fast Dragon respectively) while Yuto keeps Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. Yuri hasn't shown his own yet, but it's most likely a Starve Venom X Dragon where X isn't Fusion.

Also now it's clear that the Yuyas were separate people in the past (although connected) which makes me even more curious about what happened in the past that fused all four and apparently gave Yuya bad enough memories that the other Yus want to erase them completely.

You were all right, Arc V is real good

I appreciate the fact that they invented a way to make it so you can fall to your death while playing a card game. Also the people in the school who are apparently practicing drawing cards? I guess that's super hard and strenuous to do?

Early Arc-V is best described as a world where everyone can make their own Shadow Games, and they do, for fun.

Later Arc-V is best described as a world where everyone in two dimensions can do Pegasus' Soul Card Penalty Game, and they do, sometimes for fun.

That happens in every single YGO series. People make up bullshit new cards all the time and they count as legal. Yuya's just the only one to create an entirely new type.

It's one of those things that you gotta suspend your disbelief at. Same reason everyone treats being able to use Xyz/Synchro/Fusion summoning as a big deal.

I think you're supposed to believe that they look the same, and are just color coded for the viewer's convenience.

They have the same faces.

I like to think they have the same voices too, they're just different for benefit of the viewer.

Yuuri and Yuuya are actually voiced by the same guy so it's kind of weird that they didn't have him do all four. Maybe he could only come up with two slight variations on the voice.

This week's episode sure was pointless filler, huh. It was even drawn and animated badly. It did setup some stuff, but...it really was just filler. At least I could laugh at how incredibly chill everyone was.

Why did they bring back Crow instead of Jack? Reiji, what are you doing? We could've had an actually good character and you brought Crow.

I guess we should be happy that the Lancers are back together though, and with newfound determination, I'm sure they will do a lot from now on!

Next episode: the Lancers do absolutely nothing.
