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

If I recall right her Japanese does play the card game as well, while her only appearances in some episodes was just to say Yuma.

I never knew that. The dueling thing.

Yeah. Ms. Komatsu is too good of a nerd for that show.

I don't get the decision to include non-dueling character in the show either. They just turned into Scrappies or being accused of The Load (if they're annoying), Spotlight-Stealing Squad (if they're annoying AND being in the main focus) or They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character (if they're well-written). Arc V and GX are the installments to have an entire dueling cast and it turned out great, GX's story problem and Johan hogging all the focus notwithstanding .

Creepy fanservice? I don't really remember any particularly notable fanservice involving Kotori (but I don't really remember all of the minor details of Zexal that clearly so I might have forgotten).

Unfortunately, I do.

...

Is the sub of the new ep up yet? Been checking my usual place and I haven't seen it, but maybe I've just missed it.

It is.

Weird. I guess I have been missing it.

Subs have been coming out really fast ever since this guy started working on them.

Rusubans have stopped. It's Kitsune from the YGO Subreddit that's subbing now.

He's... Using google translate + scripts and trying to piece it together.

Right. I saw it.

Looks like Yuuya is gonna fuck up next week and try too hard to stick to his ideals.

That's never worked out so much as once. This series loves punishing him for trying to do that, and this next battle won't be any different.

Is it as bad as it sounds? Man, I'm really regretting watching unsubbed now.

Oh no, no. At times, they actually have a better translation context-wise. Like translating 'Hold it' as 'Hold your horses, guys!'. It's not the literal translation, but it made sense in context.

Kitsune is actually doing a really good job with it. Mono has better quality over-all still, though.

Yeah I tend to use Mono though recently they've been taking longer and longer to put out subs. I might have to switch if this keeps up.

Duel 107. AND ACTION!

In which the Tyler Sisters Gracefully and Gloriously show off why their tag is one of the strongest. The Amazoness archetype truly reap rewards in tag duels, huh...

Nah, the archetype is pretty bad and the new support isn't what they needed at all. Their opponents were just worse.

Exactly that.

Not opponents, just Sakaya. She was awful. AWFUL.

Well she was cookie-cuttering a character who literally only exists to get pedophiles to watch the show...

No, Allen was also pretty dumb for using Limiter Removal when he did.

And no self-respecting player only has battle removal nowadays. They should have had ways to get Queen off the field. That entire duel could have been solved with Fissure.

Allen was lucky Sayaka had that trap card out, otherwise he would have been the reason they lost.

To be fair, Sayaka wasn't that bad. Her monster can't be destroyed by battle and the trap she set need two Xyz material to be activated. So not detach Fairy Cheer Girl's material is a valid choice, especially if she knows Allen's deck has a strong Xyz effect that he wants to activate. (which he does, but it was totally useless against the Liger). Not packing any removal is still bad and idiotic, but that falls on both of them.

Yuya ACTUALLY succeeded in making them smile. Who would've guessed?

Colour me surprised as well.

I loved how they went out of their to explain why Gongenzaka lost. they share their graveyards on Tag Duels, so his grave was filled with Sawatari's Spells. Their playing styles effectively stop each other from making plays. And I loved even more how Yuya actually stopped to read an opponent's card. This episode was beautiful on the details.

And to top it off: EGAO. I had zero expactations for the Tyler Sisters but this episode was wonderful.

Also, that made Allen and Sayaka ridiculous episode unnecessary, as the Tyler Sisters were portrayed as much more threatening on this one.
