I hope that remaster isn't a complete disaster (Though to be fair, after what we've gotten from Toei re: sailor moon, they could show a still image of Yugi for 200 episdoes and still be better) and someone subs it if only for completion (and that awesome ost)'s sake.

Watching the Dub of Duel Monsters again on Netflix has made me appreciate just how good Dan Green actually is (beyond him being basically anime BRIAIN BLESSED).

For a ham handed script that forbid the standard Murder/death/kill, you did get the impression of Yugi being like "oh gently caress I nearly just killed Kaiba over a card game of all things" after their second duel.

Hearing Goury / Brock threatening to, and I quote "Remove [Pegasus'] Soul from [his] body" in his own way is just weird, though.

Joey also beat Yugi after Battle City to get his Red-Eyes back. So he is scientifically proven to be the best duelist. :colbert:

Joey's a Krillin in a world of Gokus.

The One Piece Rap would have been part of the pantheon of Good 4Kids openings (Shaman King, Ultimate Muscle, Pokemon) if not for the fact that they did in fact dub "We are" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrHO6DtFJ-Y) and, for all intents, everyone was sort of expecting that to open out the first episode of the 4kids dub and when we got the rap it sort of became the focal point for a lot of the (not at all undeserved, mind) anger towards the 4kids dub.

Not having Dan Green being the Narrator (as opposed to Eric Stewart) also sorta stings.

The 5D's opening sorta suffers the same thing because "Ride to Survive" is just that much better.

Kaiba blew up his island after he lost his tournament.

I think the implication was that he was always going to (Last bit of lingering thing tying KC with it's previous Gozoboro ran incarnation and all that) but the way things played out made it look like it was all Sour Grapes over Yugi.

Actually, now that I think about it, blowing up the island is the last bit of real viliny Kaiba gets up to.

Judai is loving awesome because of one thing, for the first two seasons his mentality is "It's a loving card game and we should all really just have fun." And he lives it, even when things get dramatic he tries to keep a light heart. And while he does get some dramatic moments he remains a genuinely goofy good hearted person trying to do right.

and then loving season 3 happens.

And, even better, that's where 4kids left the show.

So like it's two seasons of "yeah, don't get too uptight about this stuff" and then loving season 3 happens.

And then they leave it with Jaden for all intents loving dead and then we're off to go Cyberpunk with Domino blown to bits.

This franchise and it's localisation is 15 some years of things being utterly bonkers.

Nah, it's just that Jaden becomes a bit less nice to his friends because he gets a new super best friend forever that he kinda obviously likes more than his other friends and some people think that made him a bit of a jerk.
The small matter of him Allowing about 99% of them to be sacrificed for the maguffin of the arc played nothing towards that, I'm sure.

Speaking of Duel Monsters, the Remastered aired a few days ago and...yeah, I was kinda joking when I suggested they could not do much worse than Sailor Moon Crystal.



The long and short of it is that they've did the Funimation "Blow 4:3 video up to 16:9" gag and only made a "new" opening to hide the points where they coulnd't get away with blowing it up to 16:9 because someone's face would be cut off.

Sounds like your standard uprezzing stuff, albeit a little worse than usual. I thought it wasn't really a new opening bar a shot or two.

Hence "New".

Hell, if all they did was rework the ATK/DEF/LIFE displays (do they have a name? Meh) to fit the new persepctive that'd be fine but I can't see how this won't look like a hot mess when they're out of shot like my previous example.

Just watching through the remastered ep1 of DM when I hit a note.

Kaiba's flunkies make mention that they picked up three of the four BEWDs but I was under the impression that he had them before the series started.

Course I could be trying to make Season Zero fit into DM Continuity again which is something I shoudln't realy do.

Her actress moved to California so they had to get a replacement.

Speaking of, I got a good chuckle when she got herself "Killed" in the Virtual World thingy between Duelist Kingdom and Battle City because Megan Holisted voiced Lennith from Valkyrie Profile and when she dies in that it's practically the same effect.

It was at least better than Joey v Marik because Reiji was basically playing for nothing since he made his own pendulum cards and at the end of the duel he was portrayed as the victor and a badass even though he technically didn't win, while in the former case Marik still gets treated as a better duelist than Joey and a near insurmountable challenge for the Pharaoh even though he by all accounts lost his last duel.

It's still a stupid plot point though. The protagonists losing every once in a while is a good thing, they don't need to get let off by technicalities.

I know this is another anime altogether but the way Ash punked out of the Indigo League still sorta stings after all these years.

If only for the fact that Team Rocket, who were about as actually threatening as a bag of kittens, essentially buggered up a major sporting competition.

Ask Kaiba how that Heart of the Cards worked out for him when he did the first unselfish thing in years and tried to rescue Mokuba.

To be fair that's sort of asking like how Zenkai worked for Krillian after being killed by "Demons", Intergalatic Pirate Overlords, Eldrich Horrors and his Insane Brother In Law.

Besides (and this is only observed by omition) Kaiba seemed to be OK with Kaibaman being a thing in GX so maybe he mellowed out in his 20's

Though seriously, if the MCs are going to show up, it's going to be at the end and it's going to be a "Bring down the TARDIS" moment befitting of something that could (and this is completely wild speculation based on PT, Silent Hills, etc) very well be the last series of YuGiOh if Konami go complete bastard.

Zuzu is the stupidest loving name because it's a pun almost no kid will get, and everyone old enough to get it is probably just going to be mad you gave one of the most well-liked characters in the show a dumb rename for no good reason.

Also Gon is Elvis now because his hair kinda looks like the curl, and he has a white outfit? Just ignore the martial arts belt and the clogs.

I thought they were trying to avoid marking her as a main protagonist by way of the "Yu" in her name.
