in the latest movie yugi throws down with the badguy, kaiba and the badguy on magic without any magic of his own and pretty much fucks them all up like even kaiba had to pull a god card out of his rear end to go against the badguy

Then they gently caress all that up by having Atem show up for real and make everyone look incompetent, even after Yugi proved he was gone for good. That was really lame.

This discussion made go rewatch Joey vs. Marik, but I watched subs on Crunchyroll and lol the episode preview for the last turn "Don't die Jounochi!" "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh, Jounochi Dies" Like the episode title is literally "Jounochi Dies"

It's just a shame that it's not all there yet. At least it updates consistently, I guess - are they literally ever going to finish Arc-V?

Joey loses a shadow game and is back on his feet a few episodes later, without anyone having to win his soul back or any of that. And if we're talking about TDSoD, he does the same thing in that movie too. Dude's sent to what is for all intents and purposes The Shadow Realm and fights his way out of hell by remembering the pharaoh real good. Joey has so much burning shounen fighting spirit that death cannot claim him.

I've been rewatching the original (read: second) series, but subbed for the first time (mostly because by the time I thought "actually I DO want to watch a bunch of yugioh" the twitch marathon was in season 4). Aside from Duelist Kingdom, anyway, which I don't like very much and didn't care enough about to want to pay attention to, so I just had the dub going in the background. It's weird seeing all these little things the dub made changes to in Battle City. Censorship stuff aside, things like the Yugi vs Seeker duel where, in the dub, Seeker threatens to tear Joey's Red-Eyes in half if he tells Yugi about his Exodia strategy. Meanwhile originally he makes no such claims and it's entirely Yugi declaring he has no right to know his opponent's strategy and wants to play honorably. He winds up figuring it out by turn 3 either way. Also:  Never change, Kaiba. TriffTshngo fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Nov 10, 2017 |

I really like how Mokuba is such an insufferable poo poo in the original. He's a little poo poo to everyone but Kaiba...and maybe Yugi. It's amazing. Rishido is loyal as gently caress. I want him as my friend.

I hate that so much. It totally misses the point of the end of the original series. Honestly, I'm not that big a fan of the movie anyway. There's a lot about it that just rubs me the wrong way.

I thought the movie was pretty good but not great. It could have easily been a lot worse, like the way they beat the big bad, but I am glad Yugi got to beat Kaiba all by himself.CharlestheHammer posted:That would be Kaiba as gently caress That was rad as hell but I can't help but think Atem would have no way of dueling him since the card game doesn't seem that developed in Egypt. It also meant Kaiba learned absolutely nothing from the whole affair. He should be finding a new rival in Yugi, not chasing after the guy who died thousands of years ago.

There was a piece of art from one of the animators that had Kaiba reeling from one of Atem's attack, so I'm sure Atem would find a way to accept Kaiba's challenge. Although in second thought, Kaiba probably had one of those nifty new discs ready for Atem in his coat.

We don't see their duel because it would take forever to drag out and stack up 40 stone slabs for Atem's deck.

Overall the movie was great fun, but ueah, echoing the setiments that Atem should have stayed gone. Besides that, my only other two complaints are The made up ruleset for the villain duels, they were pretty lame, and his motovation/backstory not really being explained all that well, leaving me to not give two shits about the lost children.

I don't know I thought it was hilarious that Everyone in the movie's going "Kaiba let it go for god's sake." and Kaiba just goes "gently caress all of you, I'm getting my salty runback." And through sheer force of will, he actually gets his rematch! It's why I love the big goof.

I love Kaiba because he's just this complete rear end in a top hat who listens to nobody, and also has no idea he's an rear end in a top hat. Like there's multiple parts of the story where he states that he's no thief and he earned everything he has through hard work, when his very first appearance is him beating the poo poo out of Yugi's grandpa and stealing his card

Kaiba calling yugi and his friends the geek squad, geeks, nerds or whatever throughout the entire series dub was a master stroke from both the translation/localization team and Kaiba’s voice actor.

Kaiba definitely won his duel with Aigami where he ripped Obelisk out of hell. If your opponent quits, that's not a draw game. He would also claim to be instrumental in winning the tag duel at the end. So that's two and a half wins if we're being modest about it.

From the episode summaries, you're unfortunately correct.  They specifically promised there wouldn't be another one for a while after apologising for the most recent one too. It really sucks, because ever since after the second recap the series has actually been really good apart from the huge overdose of recaps.

Has anything really happened yet though? They've established who the good guys are, who the bad guys are, and what the stakes are. Mostly. That's it though. No plot twists or change of setting or any of that. Yusaku is still in Link VRAINS fighting the Knights of Hanoi to find the facts about his past and this was established in episode 1. How can they begin to justify being on their 4th or 5th clip show? Is there a writers strike or something?

How can they begin to justify being on their 4th or 5th clip show? Is there a writers strike or something? The show has been a complete mess from the beginning. It's assumed that production was troubled because it took so long after the initial announcement of the series to get any real details on it. Arc-V was announced with a trailer, but VRAINS was announced with a couple pieces of concept art and then silence for almost six months. There was also a delay between the end of Arc-V and the start of VRAINS, and to my knowledge that's never happened before. The assumption is that they had to shoehorn Speed Duels into the series at the last minute when Duel Links blew up in popularity, and there's a decent amount of evidence to support it. Between that, and the direction changing after a dozen episodes, I think it's safe to say there's something else going on behind the scenes and they're still trying to iron things out. EDIT: It's rolled over into the actual card game somewhat as well. The three main boosters released so far in the VRAINS-era are drastically underpowered compared to the last few years worth of sets, so much so that the meta in both OCG and TCG right now consists mainly of decks left over from the Arc-V era. They've changed their entire booster design style as well: In the past, they'd introduce a new non-anime archetype and then give it follow-up support in the next set, but all of the non-anime archetypes save for one have been abandoned and not gotten the follow-up support they so desperately need.

This week's episode had a G Gundam reference thus making up for last week's episode being yet another recap episode. Even if the subs managed to completely miss the reference.
