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

It's currently legal in Japan.

I forgot it was legal in Japan.

Before I checked the last page, I thought you guys were talking about something way different.

That page break could not have been more perfect. Now to add another entry to my "It Makes Sense In Context" list for TV Tropes.

Cipher Wings are only monsters Kaito has?

Nah, but he'll probably stick with 3 copies of Cipher Wing like Shun did for Vanishing Lanius for a good while.

102 is up on my source, watching now...

Wait, did Yuya just pull Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon without using Dark Rebellion? Nice! ... Oh, and he just got worfed again. ... They're actually using Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon's other effect for once? And he actually pulled Dark Rebellion with Odd-Eyes Rebellion in the Pendulum Scale? Yuya's come a long way, hasn't he? Course, credit has to be given to Yuto as well.

Kurosaki just called Yuya his "nakama". Aww, you big softie.

Oh, and they brought back the "Egao" scene. You know the one.

Shun: Kaito, believe in the Yuyu that believes in me!

I'm not unconvinced that the events of this episode couldn't've been rolled into the last one somehow, but ARC-V has never really been concerned about taking its time. The next two episodes should be more interesting though with the debut of the GX characters and the promise of more info on Yusho finally. All the breaks being behind us should help too.

I did not expect Kaito to have a second copy of Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon. His strategy of taking changing monster names and such must be a lot harder to keep track of in real life without the holographic visual aids.

So Gongenzaka said Yuuya's strategy was perfect....but he attacked despite knowing Kaito had a face down card.

How is that a perfect strategy? He had no way to counter the card (and it stopped his attack).

Now the next time when Kaito managed to summon a second galaxy eyes, he can be forgiven, but that first move seems kinda dumb to me.

With the changes only lasting until the end of the turn, not really. We already have stuff that does that.

Yeah, Kaito's strat is actually really good for dealing with stuff like Burning Abyss - its an Anti-Archetype deck, which could be really good.

The problem is Kaito's strat seems to require continuous spells and traps, which are vulnerable to removal.

We'll have to see how the Cipher monsters play out when more are revealed.

The Kaito Duel. AND ACTION!

• Kaito sure loves using Double cards. Well, his anger's doubled, so it's not that surprising. Since they're Continuous though, they are also double-edged.
• Hyper-analytical, is he? Bet that aspect of him will get dampened when his heart eventually thaws out.
• That Egao flashback had a lot more meaning here than it did when it was repeatedly used in past episodes.

More observations from the Kaito Duel:

Dragondescendant Magician looks like the newest member of the Magicians Force! Veteran member Dark Paladin would definitely benefit from his assistance.

"Sakaki!?" Hm, Kaito reacted rather strongly when Shun said Yuuya's last name. Wonder why...

Alright, this was an informative episode and exactly the shot in the arm the narrative needed:

• Yuya learns from the kids that Yusho came to the XYZ Dimension three years ago (so right after he "disappeared") and the reason why its denizens seem to hold a low opinion of him is because he never returned to help out when Academia attacked. After Shun and Yuto left for Standard was when they really brought the hammer down on the remaining Resistance members.
• The area of the Fusion Dimension that Yuzu got sent to is a port city, and all the people there believe that Academia is actually a dream-like dueling academia like it originally was in GX. Academia has its own police force that hunts down students who try to flee and return to the city (the white beret guys from the preview).
• As per the preview, Asuka saves Yuzu from them, and her monster is called Cyber Angel Vishnu, a Ritual monster with a Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon-esque anti-Fusion effect (destroys all Fusion monsters upon summoning and inflicts 1000 burn for each).
• Yusho's opened up a You Show branch on the mainland to shelter the Academia runaways, and the episode ends with Yuzu meeting the man himself, finally.

Also, lol at that kid's full name being "Allen Kozuki". That's not very subtle at all.

Ouch. Is it possible he didn't come back because he couldn't? I mean, only Academia seems to be able to travel dimensions at will. Or maybe he didn't know what was happening? I hope they give a good reason for it.

I won't be able to watch the raw of this ep for a while (simple because none of the places I go to seem to have the raw version yet) so I might just wait for the sub instead.

I hope they explain why Yusho was so completely unsurprised when he saw Yuzu.

Who?

memory lost?

So it looks like Ritual isn't being ignored either. And it's interesting to see that the Fusion Dimension isn't all bad (it seems that the general public might not be aware of what has been going on in Academia). As usual, poor Yuya is taking a beating. His dad just left XYX high and dry, and now he's being targeted by Edo because of something his dad did. Poor guy can't catch a break.

I really hope they have a good explanation for what's been going on with Yuusho, otherwise he's just gonna seem like a deadbeat dad.

Rituals probably don't get their own dimension because they still go in the Main Deck.

Makes sense.

That's the best way to explain a lack of a Ritual Dimension.

At least until the big reveal that there are Spell dimensions and Trap dimensions and Effect dimensions and Vanilla dimensions...

You keep this up, we may get an Ojama dimension.

In fact, think of the worst card (either due to it's affect, or it's art, or anything else) and it's probably got a dimension.
