Ocassionally I get the urge to relive my youth where everything I watched on TV existed to sell me cards and toys. So where the hell are you all even following this, anyway? Does Netflix/Hulu/Crunchyroll carry the subtitled version or something?

Hulu via http://www.yugioh.com has subbed versions of 5DS and Zexal, but otherwise watching the dubs.

I just finished the GX episode where Jaden battles the stoned hippie and everyone but him gets stoned. This is just so stupid and I love it.

Season 2 of GX down, main thought: as a card game player who has little idea how Yu-Gi-Oh actually works, I got sick of watching nearly every episode get decided by "Did I draw Pot of Greed/Graceful Charity and you didn't? Guess I win!" that I had to look up the rules to see if the cards were banned from the tournament play and it looks like they are.

Anyways, the wikia also spoiled that the cards are rarely featured in the remaining seasons and series of the anime and I'm not really sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

What, you weren't bugged by how Jaden always wins A Hero Emerges?

Busted cards and combos are whatever, but you can win with anything if you have completely busted card advantage/card draw.


edit: Oh, that card. That's not even that busted, it's just the "random" that always works out in Jaden's favor even though I'm sure it's easy to play the card in a way to make the percentages really favorable. Also that card only showed up 10 times in seasons 1 and 2. Pot of Greed is in 59 episodes.

Judai is an odd case in that he isn't directly cheating, the manga describes him as having extremely high draw luck, which is a bullshit talent but not technically unfair.

Jaden uses alien cards found in a vision quest/literal trip to outer space.

11 episodes into GX season 3; the dubbers must have had way too much fun with this. And by fun I mean began to show signs that they were all losing their minds by this point and started doing weird random stuff in vain attempt to stay sane, such as 4th wall breaking, self references, famous pop culture quotes, even doing an Arnold Schwarzenegger YEARRGH when the crystal elephant attacked.

Not really. The reason games like Magic and Pokemon have a 60 card deck is because it's expected that a third will be dedicated resource cards, Lands in Magic and Energy in Pokemon (I think, I haven't played since the GB game) Otherwise they would also have 40 card decks. 45 card decks don't mean anything, there's no point.

Well except being the absolute maximum amount of card you'll have when drafting, which of course means that you have no side-board at all.

It was just a basic card ratio joke. 4 copies per 60, versus 3 copies per 40.

Episode 172, you might want to know what's going on at the start, but trust me, it works even better when you have no idea why stuff is happening.

Trip report: :wtc: Let me just make sure I have this right. Jaden escapes from an exploding Kaiba Corp building using children's card game, then hallucinates a battle against an enemy called Mr. T, while Hassleberry is actually fighting Mr. T who is mind controlling some student friend, and Mr. T is looking for darkness in his victim's hearts, but can't get to Hassleberry because of Dino DNA so they duel, and later figures out a loophole to the darkness by looking at Hassleberry's previous life as a Tyrannosaurus Rex and finding out that the Dino DNA bone in his leg is from a dinosaur that said T-Rex had eaten.

This Season 2 (Season 3 japan) of 5D's is starting off amazing. First the introduction of the French girl making Akiza more jelly than a Welch's grape factory, then watching her steady anime inability to handle feelings for main characterdescent into madness via addiction to ~speed~

Yu-Gi-Oh 10D's, episode 151, let me get this straight: Yusei generates new rules for the game and generates the game winning Matryoshka dragon out of thin air, then ZONE basically does the same thing, but Yusei's is just big enough to outlast ZONE's because of teamwork or some poo poo, then tries to crash his flying motorcycle into the what the gently caress ever, and you guys were telling me to skip this battle? This was all sorts of loving hilarious and ruled and was the Yu-Gi-Oh-iest thing ever.

But for real it's nice that characters in 5D's unlike prior YGOs at least occasionally went through strategic thought processes, thought about which cards the opponent could be playing, and/or were thinking about their best lines and playing to their outs.

I can't believe they resolved the Yusei/Akiza relationship in the exact same way they resolved Jaden/Alexis :lol:
