Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens

for some reason, I find that disappointing

Well, he only used it this time because they swapped by accident earlier in the episode, and at the end he decides to continue using the Jointech deck anyway.

That Buster Blader alt was a deep-cut reference to the old Dark Duel Stories Game Boy Color game.

DDS didn’t have Buster Blader in it. It’s a later JP-only game that has a similar artwork.

Yeah, my bad, it was the one after Dark Duel Stories.

New episode:

Nanahoshi seems to have actually learned how to duel.

She gets possessed by the Earth Damar because of it.

Another new episode:

Everyone cosplays as Yuudias, and we got neutrals in the Velgear war.

Today's episode:

You know, I wouldn't have minded if the late teens / young adult forms of Yuamu and Yuuhi stuck around. They looked good.

But wow, that dude sure takes his time.

New episode:

So Manabu and Rovian are 100% dead it seems.

New episode:

Yuamu become Danamu, and then becomes Arale.

I was expecting that episode to just be a Dr. Slump (literal) shitpost for twenty full minutes as opposed to becoming a gentrification and labor satire piece. I ended up having a blast watching, and the two new Fusion monsters were really fun-looking too. I like how SEVENS and Go Rush!! have gone back to Fusion monsters actually looking like a fusion of their specified component monsters compared to the late Gallop animes with their generic requirements (though I understand why the IRL game does that).

Latest episode:

Danamu gains a physical form, and Zwijo puts the extremist in Well-Intentioned Extremist.

This tweet sums up my thoughts on the latest episode.

Yeah. That seems to happen a lot.

Jaden, Yuya and Yuma send their regards.

Zwijo's current plan to wage war is pretty much the exact same thing that Academia was doing.

Yeah.

It'd be nice if we knew a bit more about who his people are waging war with.

Or if they at least allowed Yudias to have a proper counter.

Watched 40-45. Really good batch up until 43. The Nyandestar content continues to be emotionally powerful and 42 might even be my favorite Go Rush episode. I really wasn't expecting a one-off opponent as sweetly melancholic as Shewbach was. The only low points were the "competing for the same man" subplot with Mitsuko and Dinois, and the Ranran episode, although the Earthdamar's presence and expansions made it easily Ranran's best episode.

Then episodes 44 and 45 dedicate a two-parter and Yuudias's second loss to a guy whose gag had gotten already old before the duel started. Well, that's Go Rush for you. Win some, lose some.

New episode:

Will Yudias return?

<Sees that the next episode is called "Yudias Returns">

Alright. Stupid question.

Right up there with "Jonouchi Dies."

These episodes confused me so much until I realized that it wasn't a proper tag duel but rather two entirely seperate duels taking place at the same time.

Latest episode.

We got a new opening, though we only hear the song. New ending as well.

Two years have passed on Earth while Yuudias has been in space.

Things kinda went to shit on their end and a new dude took over the MIK, kicked out all the aliens and their friends (which includes UTS, Goha and Mutsuba heavy industries) and forced them into the underground Alien City.

Yuuhi and Yuuamu have slightly new designs, and Yuuga got his ass kicked off screen by the new antagonist....maybe. Something happened to him, but the exact details aren't known yet.

Wow, that was a surprisingly depressing episode to start the second season off with.

New episode:

Maximums are back it seems, and Yuuga once again ends up on the wrong end of them.

Finished season 1. Spectacular resolution. Yuga was even less intrusive than he was vs The☆Luge, so now I'm fully trusting the writer team with him. Zwijo's clone angst was sudden but creative and very well integrated into his and Yudias's preexisting ideological debate. I'm a fan of clone angst in general, so I can't complain about this as a new direction.

Damamu surprisingly didn't captivate me as much, even though "overpowered magic toddler" is a generally fun character archetype, but he's really well placed as the example for Yudias's "it doesn't matter how or where you were born, what it matters is how you choose to live" argument. Would The☆Luge work a lot better as the example? Yes. But what we got was definitely satisfactory. Congratulations to Go Rush.
