The Yu-Gi-Oh! Thread

Sayer: I’m not a bad guy. Hides the bodies of the countless children he killed through his experiments to create a super army behind his back.

Well, I just finished the Dark Signer arc of 5Ds and first two episodes of the second season (which is the Machine Uprise and Timelords season, and introduced the Ally of Justice cards that look like a fun anti-light deck). I’m watching the sub version since I found the dub more annoying (I blame 4Kids) and the dub version cut out the second season. The series is fine so far, though the talk of destiny got old quickly, and I see children characters in the thumbnail of the next ep, which worries me that they’ll include annoying kid characters since the twins weren’t enough children characters.

I’m not sure how effective that life-preserver is in this case.

@Meanlucario  
You would want to watch the Japanese version anyway if you want to watch the entire show. Same with GX.

@09MurphyM  
I’ll keep that in mind when I go back to GX, thanks. I was planning on doing that anyway, though I now feel better about that plan.

I forgot that something they added in season 2 is that they the math at the bottom of the screen when there’s a synchro, they have the equation at the bottom for some reason. I find it a bit pointless, they they show the monster’s lever anyway during a synchro summon.
 
And the teacher who’s a dick uses Ancient Gear monsters. Prowler impersonator.

@Meanlucario  
You think that’s bad? The dub has a new card appear on screen with a computer woman’s voice saying things like. ‘Junk Syncron is level 3 tuner monster that can revive level 2 or lower monsters from the graveyard when summoned’
 
I watched the sub months later and found it so strange.

@Marx  
I remember that. Both are annoying.

I’m looking at the comments of the 5D’s episodes. Apparently there was quite a bit of backstage meddling, even in the sub version, hence the filler.

Just finished some episodes. I feel like summarizing them very poorly.
 
67: Local Prowler wantabie is beaten by tuners that his students loan to local mechanic.
 
68: Old Man Junkie never calls his son, wonders why he never visits.
 
69: Retired King kicks the ass of some loansharks using a child’s cards.
 
70: That’s heartwarming but are we going to forget that THE GHOST BOY WAS TRAPPING SOULS IN HIS MANSION AND TRAPPED HIS SISTER’S SOUL TO A DOLL!?
 
71: Yusei: Akiza, can you come pick me up?
 
Akiza: Why do you need me to get you? Is your D-Wheeler out?
 
No, but I’m trapped in a moving vertical and don’t know where I am.
 
What!?
 
I was kidnapped.
 
Why didn’t you tell me sooner!?
 
Because what’s the point in telling you that if I don’t know where I am?
 
Young Alfred: I know where he is.
 
Akiza: …I should ask more questions, but I don’t care anymore.
 
72: Sherry: I’m female batman that duels and may be gay. I want to pollinate her seeds~
 
Akiza: …We’re both woman so that wouldn’t work. Besides, I’m waiting to jump onto Yusei, so-
 
I’m french so I don’t care! The ending is ambiguous enough that we can happen!
 
Akiza: …

Forgot to mention that I had a dream where Fortune Lady Every was flirting with Revendread Slayer.

Turer guide is so cute.

“Is there even a method of duelling that doesn’t involve synchro monsters?”
 
Have you never seen a high-level, ritual, or fusion monsters? Even a few episodes ago, you fought the Ancient Gear monsters, which don’t even have a synchro monster, and they almost beat you. Are Yu-Gi and Jadan jokes to you or something?
 
 
@Shepherd  
You mean this gal?  

@Meanlucario  
I have to admit it does get a bit tiring/agitating after a while that each series only focuses on a single summoning mechanic and anything beside the in-universe meta (synchro’s xyz’s, etc,) is either only lightly touched upon or ignored outright.  
I’m assuming you’re up to the part where they’re dueling against the machine emperor’s (wisel, skiel and granel, respectively?)

@The★Rickmeister  
Nope, but I’m at where he’s duelling Jack to find a way to duel without using synchro summoning. My poorly done recapping from yesterday should give you an idea of how far I am.

Ok then.  
I just assumed that’s where you were because of the whole ‘dueling without synchro’s’ part.

@The★Rickmeister  
It’s building up to those three, since Yusei is having PDST about Ghost who uses the Meklord deck. I also looked up the cards on the wiki and learned why they’re using anti-synchro cards awhile back (other than to be a threat for the main trio to overcome).

Their effect to steal your synchro monsters is more-or-less moot if you’re running a Yang Zing deck.  
Mainly because of Taotie,  
 
whose last effect prevents any synchro you summon with it from being taken before you summon Chaofeng,  
 
Whose passive ability prevents your opponent from activating the effects of any monster who shares an attribute with its yang-zing synchro material.

@The★Rickmeister  
It looks like some of of the Anti-synchro mons may not be dark, so that would throw a wrench in your plan. And there’s still the glaring flaw that synchro monsters are just one form of powerful monsters, with tribute, fusion and ritual cards. Even GX had the Chazz’s Ojama deck, which would catch them off-guard due to the cards being infamously weak if you don’t build around them (as I learn in Duel Links). Imagine laughing at Ojama King until you realized that you’re limited to two monster zones and that there’s a field card that swaps his 3000 defence with his 0 attack, giving him as powerful as Blue Eyes White Dragon.

That’s fair enough.  
Considering they’re all machines, as are thedecks they go with, IIRC, how well do you think system down would work?  

@The★Rickmeister  
Yu-Gi-Oh: You live and die by your gimmick. And yes, that would devastate them unless they use a card to counter it, though they would be too focused on killing synchros to think that far ahead. Honestly, I’m waiting for the Ally of Justice cards to appear, though I may have misread what gen they’re from. They seem like a fun anti-light strategy.

The only one I have is this.  

@The★Rickmeister  
I haven’t collected any physical cards in quite awhile, so my experience with them is from the mobile game. To put it simply, their abilities often harm light cards and cripple decks that rely on them, like a Cyber Dragon deck.
