For some reason I am still surprised at how great Little Kuriboh is at writing gags.

Joke? Why are you calling it a joke? You drew a picture of two dudes hugging and wrote "I love hugs!" on it.

Kaiba's interjections were the fucking highlight of the episode.

"A DRAGON LADY!? ROLAND, HOLD ALL MY CALLS FOR— waaaaaaait, the emphasis is on the lady and not the dragon. Total ripoff."

Big mood.

"Actually you know what, I can still fap to this."

Also big mood.

Kaiba's final rant was hilarious. Haven't laughed that hard in a bit.

Glad he's back.

Definitely a return to form after the weaker last episode.

Hooefully the wait for the next one wont be quite as long.

90% sure Martin's in that burnout stage by this point where everything is a chore to do. YGOTAS has been his big series for 16-odd years now and he's ready to move on, and I totally get it, but credit to him for trying to wrap the series up.

Plus I feel like he's gonna have loads more fun when he gets to the Ancient Egypt Arc.

I am perfectly OK with getting one great episode s year than 52 half-arsed ones.

Is it me, or is it just not as funny? Maybe fatigue is kicking in for Little Kuriboh.

I mean, he's been at this for sub-20 years now. And it didn't help that the last time he released an episode, his cat died and he got falsely accused of knowing that Niosi is an abuser and hid it and all that stuff with his stalker.

Which, BTW, was all because Shady is a sociopath with an inflated ego and spread those rumors because Shady is an asshole that used an artist to spread said lies.

Yeah, Little Kuriboh has been through some shit. He was even here in the TFS thread.

I’m just grateful he puts out episodes. Guy needs some love.

I chuckled at the gags involving Joey's deck. Feels consistent with Tristan generally being slow on the uptake.

I think there is something to be said for this being a terrible arc in general, and probably hard to parody well because it's so focused on the card game.

I felt the last episode was great while this one was a super mixed bag. The jokes ran the full spectrum between low effort and clever.

I loved the bait and switch gag where the frilly Arc Villain says that Kaiba hates no one else in the world more than him, and then Kaiba reveals who he hates the most. And with the constant shit-talking he gives to Joey, you'd expect it to be him. But no it was actually Sherlock Holmes for not being able to buy his rights.

Missed the opportunity for those rights by about a year and four months.

A big part is likely time to take care of his health, both mentally and phisically. And with all the shit he went through in the past years I think thats rather understandable.

Yeah, comedy is tough when you just aren’t feeling like being funny.

Like I said, I’m just amazed we got anything at all, and I was amused by the episode. Can’t complain really.

I did enjoy the episode myself. Plus come July 17th it will officially be 18 of Abridged series being a thing too. I was in HS when it was 1st released.

Gonna be honest, I think the moment Kaiba stopped being an awesome ego to just plain hatable to me was his entire rant to Joey at the end of Battle City tower.

Just wow. Maybe that was Little Kuriboh’s intent, but jeez, I felt for Joey there.

According to the internet there's seven episodes left in this season. I wonder if LK could combine them all into one episode.

Should be three more episodes since Abridged episodes are grouped by Duel.
