Yuugiou Arc-V/ Yu-gi-oh! Arc-V

If you look closely when Reiji shows his Pendulum Monsters, you can see some text is missing. You know, the important part that says the scales change every turn.

You can almost hear a sigh of relief when "pro-athletes" isn't the English translation for "Entermate".

Now that you said that, I tried to find the English name. Can't turn one up anywhere.

Sorry, I meant "Ultra Athletes". People were speculating that it was the English translation for Entermate.

So it turned into another Kite duel. I'm okay with it though, since it was the only way it really could have ended. Strange part was that the card text on Kepler actually sends monsters lower than its Pendulum Scale to the Graveyard, but that's probably a misprint.

Those say "except "DD" monsters" though.

Just watched the sub:

Reji claims that Pendulum Summoning is incomplete, and it looked like he had something in mind in the time just before he called off the duel. Also, Himika says that with Reji being able to Pendulum summon, there's no actual need to acquire You show duel school, so they were just going to smash them instead. With the Dark Duelist now apparently attacking someone named Professor Marco (and judging by the reactions of the LDS people, he's someone important) there is pretty much no reason for them to bother to come back.

Another point is that there were obviously things about Pendulum Summoning that Reji didn't know. He was unaware that they return to the Extra deck when destroyed, and when you add that up with Yuya's difficulty repeating it in episode 2-3, and the fact that Reji had Shingo act as a proxy the first time, along with only trying Pendulum himself after seeing Yuya do it make me think that in-universe, it's much harder than it looks.

So some new episode summaries were put up on the Wikia. Note that these summaries can be wrong.

It looks like the Tournament Arc is starting up. With Yuya finding Nico Smiley(Strong Ishijima's Manager) to find fights to qualify. The first fight is in a "Cuisine Duel School". I guess the Main Plot develops in the background for a few episodes for a while.

Wait, Cuisine. Food. Cake. Tiramisu. TIARAMISU! MADOLCHE!!!

inb4 Hungry Burger archetype.

So... Where do you find episode summaries? I use the Yugioh Wikia, but it only goes so far.

Ahem

Duel 13. AND ACTION!

• Prototype Pendulums. Heh. Figured it was gonna be like that, since a Galilei, a Level 10 monster, had one scale, and Kepler was the opposite.
• From the looks of things, Yuuya was toast.
• Next time, a duel to snap Yuuya out of his funk, I guess. Shouzou will now show his HOT BLOODEDNESS!

Watched Ep 14's raws.

For LDS, I think they mention an XYZ summon, but I don't know what the context is. Masumi talks with Yaiba and Hokuto and runs off somewhere.

Yuya and Shuzo duel. His cards are called "Guts Master". I don't know if they're the OCG name for the Ultra Athletes. During the duel Shuzo manages to get Yuya's Magicians and becomes the 4th Person to Pendulum Summon.

If you're a Fan of Yuzu, you're in luck! She uses her fan a lot in this episode! Also she makes a lot of faces.

Next Episode! Sawatari returns! Tournament arc begins! Yuzu talks to the shadiest guy in the show!

Indeed. It looks like Yuzu might have an arc of her own, in the wake of the Dark Duelist incident, and her loss to Masumi. That being said, she is a girl, and you know how girls are treated on this show, so it remains to be seen if the writers will do right by her or not.

I liked how the LDS trio got their own little scene, though I don't know exactly what went on in it. It gives me hope that they'll be occasionally reoccurring characters.

Looks like Yuzu will learn to Fusion Summon?

Looking at the fact the "evidence LDS collected included Instant Fusion, Fusion Recovery and The Last Warrior From Another Planet, we can see that the attacked professor was the Fusion teag cher. That explains why Masumi was so concerned. I really hope that "Masumi going after The Dark Duelist" thing doesn't get off-screened.

Can't say that that I like the Guts Master's sports theme, but they do have really fun gimmicks of hand checking, field presence and helping each other. A nice deck overall.

A Shonen Jump poll has revealed the English names for "Entermate".

"Performapal". I'm not kidding.

I like it. The meaning's the same, and in my opinion, Performapal sounds less awkward.

My problem isn't so much the meaning as its inability to roll off the tongue. Not that Konami has ever cared about that.

I'm sorry, I can't ever be mad at that card because that is the best name. Also, it gets better with practice.

That is a stupid translation. They should have kept it as Entermate.

A somewhat foolish wish at this point.

Everyone should be used to Yu-Gi-Oh! leaving few names the same by now, even perfectly good ones.

Sometimes they hit it on the mark. Utopia One turning into Utopia Prime is a pretty good change, I feel.

Found a sub of Episode 14 quickly enough.

Nothing much, but it seems Professor Marco has disappeared after the attack by the Dark Duelist.
