Arc-V had a guy last episode who literally punched people in the face if they tried to make certain moves he didn't want them to, I think we've reached the apex of cheating.

I love how the dog episode was literally only there to give the cat girl her first duel in thirty episodes, and then they had her lose, apparently just to show the girls in Zexal can't even beat filler duelists.

She was, but I feel like being a character you see almost every episode should put you above a character who just exists to fight you and nothing else.

I like how Michio and Teppei only died (or at least both of them) because Reiji didn't bother to do anything to disable that penalty. Well, and because the Obelisk Force are clearly stacking.

I don't get why they hyped up the kid's duel for so long and then devoted less time to it than Yuzu dueling the idol. And having the kid who plays for fun just lose, that seems like a bad message.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:I guess making Reira smile is the start of a plot thread that'll go throughout the second part of the series. I don't get the feeling it was hyped up at all, tho, he had one duel where people could start wondering if he's as skilled as Reiji and then about 4 minutes total of the junior division being referenced throughout 20 episodes seemed more like the bare minimum to set something up for later on. Oh yeah definitely, but if it's gonna keep going I guess I'd prefer a full episode to continuing it. Oh well, not the first thing that looked like it would get more time than it did in this arc.

VJeff posted:This pacing is overwhelmingly, infinitely superior to Zexal and 5D's "describe every move of every duel in agonizing detail with peanut galleries chiming in every five seconds and the duel just ends with Stardust or Hope anyway", quitcher whining. I was looking forward to Yuzu wrecking a dumb girly girl, I hoped she'd get to rub it in more.

80 percent of Reiji's elite force are either apathetic toward him or don't like him at all, and they haven't even had their first real mission yet. Is he even gonna make it to his dad?

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.

Apparently Zuzu is Susan in another language, or something like that.

Gotta love how the writers made sure the first match where Crow's victory is actually in question is against a girl, and possibly the female lead of the series at that. If it's him VS Yuzu it's really a coin flip since both have equally valid claim to being a good final opponent for Yuya.

So if the announcer and possibly the whole crowd knows about people being sentenced to slavery, since she seems to admit it during the duel, does Jack know? Wonder what his rationale is for showing up every year, if so.

Dexie posted:For the record, Dipper O'rion is the dumbest dub name in the entire franchise. I'd contend that Zuzu Boyle is worse since he's at least a bit character who doesn't end up mattering very much. Picture all the dramatic events Yuzu has been involved in, and replace it with that name. It's like they didn't watch far enough ahead to realize she was kind of important.

The dub to 5Ds was pretty bad, since while the original decided to give kids some credit the english version refused to.

Shinji spent his whole first duel talking about how the Commons were stronger than they looked, and then he makes fun of Yuya for summoning a monster with low attack.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:I like that idea too, but we've gone through six duelists and all they've collectively achieved was making Zarc setup his field, gain 3K lifepoints and use maybe 8 or 9 cards from his deck. The second Crow synchro summons next week Clear Wing will revive, so nothing Jack and Gongenzaka did will have mattered. If they were chipping down at him, figuring out how his deck works and what weaknesses to exploit then i'd be down for this, but so far its been that the good guys spend all their resources on a move and Zarc saying "nope." like a 12 year old who printed his own cards. One of the Battle Spirits seasons did this for the finale, actually: for whatever reason the protagonists had to beat the final boss three times, so they all fought him one after another. Then when the main character's turn came they all sort of teamed up.

It's fine to have a duel that's just for funsies, all the other series have ended that way. But in them it felt like the main characters and the show earned it more. If Yuya had actually beaten Zarc directly, it'd have felt more appropriate to have an epilogue that's just him journeying around the universes he saved. But it was Reira that did that, and Yuya just gets all the benefits of it even though he wasn't really the one to beat the final boss.
