i mean dimension dueling is like shadow games and depletes your stamina and poo poo. atem showed up to draw one card in a bullshit cheat game that yugi had pretty much already won after beating the badguy's and kiba's rear end one after another i really don't find it so damaging to yugi's arc

I liked Dimension Duels cause I always appreciate having alternate rules every now and then to mix things up. Who didn't love the Labyrinth Duel? I'd love if Konami released a PDF document that listed Deck Master effects and Speed Counter Costs for Spells etc. for people to use.

I loved the heck out of Dark Side of the Dimension even if I didn't really care for the ineffectual villain. Sure, Atem came to save Yugi in the end, but Yugi had just gone through 2 previous duels and he was also dealing with some weirdass rules that were never explained to him properly. Plus, the whole debacle was a result of some weirdass 8th Millennium Item, and since the items were supposed to be sealed away with Atem, I just saw it as Atem coming back to finish his job and then leaving. Also whatever happened to the people that Aigama used his Item on before Joey and Bakura, like those Kaiba hechmen and that bully dude. Are they just dead.

From what I've seen, the movie regresses Kaiba more than it does Yugi. I mean, he'd gotten legitimate character development by the end of the manga, and yet the guy's back to being as obsessed as before.

It's a really good play of where he ended up at the manga. On top of reopening his trauma of associated defeat with death, he simply lost the relationship that was driving his betterment. Kaiba going back on his obsessive bullshit is a great driving force for the series, and seeing it go in the movie was great. Specially since there's still growth in it, he doesn't attempt to harm anyone but Aigami, and he doesn't try to kill Aigami via a game like he used to. Kaiba has everything to be a great part of the society around him, but that's because he is so strong-willed and unsatisfied with the world that he pushes his own actions that make him become an opinion-leader. He makes Domino much richer of a city, invents an amazing new duel disk and renovates the game via card streaming and collective consciousness defining the monster models. But none of that are his goals, him attempting to find Atem, his insane drive, leads to those after effects, hence why he becomes the defacto leader of Domino that nobody even questions.

So, this week Go Onizuka and Revolver face each other. During the duel, it is revealed what card Revolver used to defeat Emma. The terrifying card was Mirror Force. Just plain ol' loving mirror force destroys every monster in ATK mode. I was loving dying at this. I love when classic cards come back, but jesus.

This is almost as stupid as the fact we're spending 3 episodes on a duel that cannot end in any way but Go's loss and Playmaker taking over, exactly like just happened with Aoi and Specter. Guys I don't think I'm still enjoying VRAINS.  e: Come to think of the the Mirror Force reveal really poorly colours Ghost Girl's character as a Duelist. What kind of control player not only doesn't anticipate Mirror Force or anything like it, but hasn't even heard of it to such an extent that she can't adequately describe it after seeing it played?

I really like the meta anti-climax it has going. We expected some kinda bullshit megacard, but nah, it's just loving Mirror Force, a card we can relate as scary. It's still a big surprise since that card hasn't been Used in the anime in forever (like, the most 'recent' example is that it's Implied it was used in the Flashback IV vs Shark duel that was never shown) It sucks that Emma had to chump like that and not even relay what the card was, but I do enjoy that Revolver's tactic for it wasn't just to set it and use it, but to bait for big Link spam both times. Get the opponent into a tunnel-vision scenario and wipe them off. It's a small Tactic, one that thankfully doesn't actually end the duel now that it's shown.

So, during the reairing of Pyramid of Light in theaters, they stuck in EP1 of the Vrains dub. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KmS5Eo_I76XupvYPt7GQ0qpAQQOz_6K2/view They definitely brought their A game, but I'm curious how long that'll stay. 5D's also had a great first episode dub, but wound up pretty weak overall. Also Ai's voice owns.

Is VRAINS still worth watching? After a while, I gave up on it because it started to feel like the Synchro world of ARC V where absolutely nothing happened. Then that one dude apologized on Twitter for how bad one of the episodes were?

Nah, he apologized for having to do so many recap episodes. The production is hell held together with scotchtape and gallop is bleeding staff faster than it can hire. VRAINS is still worth it, but I wouldn't stop anyone who wants to drop off. Whenever I feel overtly negative, it gets one Really good episode that plays with the Yusaku, the Lost Incident, Ai and Revolver in just the right way to keep me hooked. Or GO puts on a mask and does a heel turn. It does well enough, but the cast is mostly defined by how well they can interact with Yusaku, with few flashes of interaction with each other.

I'm waiting for the guide of which episodes to skip like what was done for 5Ds/Zexal before I get back into it. I don't have much hope for Yugioh anime as a whole anymore with how long they've been in production hell & dragging down the quality. Maybe when television draws its final breath and they switch to a streaming service that doesn't live or die on pushing out garbage every week to maintain a coveted timeslot they might be able to make something that Doesn't Suck? I don't know. I feel like a lot of my dreams are hinging on obsolete capitalist structures collapsing sooner than later.

I'm working my way through the second half of Arc-V right now and god a lot of the Synchro world draaaaaags and we don't get to spend a lot of time with out protagonists who are actually likable in favor of shittier versions of Crow and JACK ATLUS, THE MASTER OF FASTER, THE SULTAN OF SPEED, who seem to just be shittier cause Yusei wasn't around to balance out their shittier tendencies. BUT holy poo poo the final duel with Yuya and Jack is so loving great and finally let Yuya put his money where his mouth was when it comes to his convictions about dueling and it tied so well into the themes clashing between him and Jack it almost made the whole slog worth it. I really hope some of the less interesting Lancers beef it soon. Super Heavy Samurai boy doesn't deserve such a cool archetype and who could possibly even care about the Ninja. Also they need to let smug Rival/Leader actually do things sometimes. He's basically just Kaiba but 10000% more smug but they don't utilize him like they did Kaiba in the OG series.

I'm actually watching Arc-V again since it's on Netflix Australia. You can really tell that it started losing steam at about episode 20 or thereabouts; during the bit where Yuya is fighting for qualification and he faces Billy Quizboy or whatever his name is. He's probably my most hated Yugioh character and is easily the low point of the first season. It's a shame because the supporting cast is really good in the first season; Sawatari is a really amusing antagonist, Gong has some great lines (and has a cool archetype), Zuzu is a female yugioh character that actually does something and there's a great sense of showmanship about the whole thing.
