Phew, for a second there I thought the protagonists were getting competent! Good thing Yuya is retaining his status as the biggest jobber on the show.

This thread needs to be merged back together with the TG thread. Splitting the two threads was a bad idea.

This series moves at a slug's pace and is extremely easy to rail on due to its characters' lack of competence, grasp on logic and common sense. It also has moments of sheer, baffling ridiculousness like carpet bombing fantasy racist children with trading cards. Also, Konami's handling this.

Also there was trading card discussion before the TG thread split nearly killed this thread.

Nearly 100 episodes. The protagonists have accomplished literally nothing. How can you not?

Kaito, I guessed. So that's really cool that he's coming back.

Asuka is loving . But considering Arc-V fixed CROW of all characters, I'm really loving excited for this now.

Also, Slur is crazy and Arc-V is great. Yuya is probably the best protagonist since Yugi. I love that a children's card game show has the balls to make all of its characters, including the protagonist, get the crap kicked out of them on a constant basis. Stories where the protags are always getting kicked around are awesome because it makes that moment of success SO MUCH MORE GRATIFYING, because it feels earned. Contrast that to somebody who never goddamn loses like Yuma or Juudai, so there's no tension or stakes in anything they do.

Never said Arc-V was the worst anime off of the planet. But holy hell is it easy to make fun of. Also, there's a difference between "getting your poo poo kicked in" and "getting your poo poo kicked in because it's entirely your fault for being incompetent as can be".

Kaito and Asuka coming back are kind of neat, though I would have preferred Vector and "The Chazz"

Was confused as to why Yugo and Yuri just gently caress off to nowhere.

Because the writers will find any way to try and pad out that plot point for as long as they want to, no matter how bad it makes the pacing in the long run. Yuzu's bracelet provides them the perfect excuse for that purpose.

It's the main problem with Arc-V really. It spends a lot of time setting up things. Once they finally trigger though, we get beautiful things like these last few episodes, but we also have lots of Yuya must bring smiles -> Yuya gets sad because he can't bring smiles -> Yuya finds resolve to bring smiles -> rinse and repeat.

The whole smiles thing is bringing the show down in the name of some contrived moral bullshit.

This episode was supposed to air on March 6, 2016, but was moved to the following week due to program scheduling with a pingpong match.

Expect to see more cards from The Dark Illusion, and most likely Duelist of Radiance and the upcoming movie pack. We'll probably see some info about Kite, Alexis, and Aster in Arc-V, too.

EDIT: Wrong thread, dammit. Can we merge the two threads back together? I still don't see why we split them in the first place.

I'm disappointed nobody has used an exodia/stall/mill deck in the series. Users of said decks should go undefeated.

Tokumatsu used a stall deck.

Yeah, but he lost and his burn strategy didn't win him the game. It was kind of lame.

I honestly want to see someone win by annoying stall tactics and be celebrated for it.

Edit: Realized Destiny Board is still susceptible to twin twister. Well, at least Dark Sanctuary is a nice substitute for Fairy Box.

To be fair, in the script it said they were at a heavy disadvantage because Sawatari and Gongenzaka were sharing graveyards.

Speaking of very clear flaws with an obvious fix, Dennis offing himself was cool but we needed more insight on his motivations because it looks like he simply went "yeah, egao owns boop", how would we have gotten more on his inner turmoil? if his last opponent was Shun instead of Kaito. I've been cool with the guest characters but Kaito is the only one actively bringing the show down now, that match should've been Shun showcasing how far he's gone and how much he believes in Entertainment thanks to Yuya while Dennis keeps denying that they were ever friends, instead it was just Dennis going on a lil bit about entertainment and Kaito giving flat responses (bar that one "who's the heel?!" line) that makes you wonder if he learned anything from Yusho ever.

I think the point of Kaito beating him was to show that even the least entertaining person in the world who doesn't care a single shill about entertainment whatsoever is more entertaining than Dennis's gimmicks, and that he hasn't grown as an entertainer at all since being with Academia.

That doesn't make Kaito any more good than he was before, mind you.
