Nope...all the fuck nopes in the galaxy.
What's the point of Grace and Gloria now? Sure they may not have been "reformed" through EGAO but they're as good as harmless now. All of their credibility as villains has vanished and they have been demoted to spectators. Even if they have a duel against the Lancers now, no one will take them seriously anymore. ARC-V doesn't know how to make a good villain character at all.
>>143118479
>>143118483
To dicksuck Yuya like everyone else.
>>143118483
Eye candy. That's it. Like you said, they have no credibility anymore. Edo either. The hopes of the show lie on Leo, Yuri and omni Yuya.
>>143118483
>ARC-V doesn't know how to make a good villain character at all.
True, the only villains left are Dennis, Akaba Leo and Yuri.
>What's the point of Grace and Gloria now?
Gloria seems to still be kind of evil. As for Grace i believe she will Stay with Yuya, i don't think he will have a problem with that
>>143118483
I mean they made the obelisk force OP all of a sudden only for Kaito to BTFO them. So they could easily pull that shit off with the Tyler sisters. Then again, I doubt they'll duel anymore lancers at all, if anything, I could see them dueling each other since, Gloria is still following Academia's orders from the looks of it, whilst Grace may defect which could cause said conflict.
>>143118557
>Like everyone else
There are plenty that hate his guts or hardly interacted with him.
>>143118638
The only characters that I could see that 'hate his guts' are Yuri and Leo and they didn't even properly meet each other.
>>143118590
>Yuri.

>>143118358
This sort of image is ok, because yuya is pure
>>143118733
>People still take Yuri seriously?
No, I take him wet.
If you guys don't think Grace is best Arc-V girl, you have a problem. You have a bigger one if you don't like Grace x Yuya.
>>143118794
I would ship Grace x Yuya, then again it's a children show. It also doesn't help that, Yuya doesn't shown any interest in her.
>>143118794
Hasn't NTR been declared /d/ material by now? Pretty sure Yuzu X Yuya is borderline canon.
>>143118604
Well, Obelisk Force was never really OP. Every duel they presented a real threat, they did so by either situational/environmental advantage or numbers advantage.
vs Yuya: 3v1
vs Proto-Lancers and additional jobbers: INTRUSION PENALTY NI SEN POINTO
vs Tsukikage/Sora: 3v1 which then turned into 3v2 with the 2k intrusion penalty
vs Shun/Yuya: Dropped part of a building on Shun
What makes Obelisk Force a real threat is that they try to rush you as a team and then beat you to death with the environment when available, and in that sense they never really lose their credibility as a possible threat.
It's also in that sense that all of Arc-V's villains maintain some level of credibility even when they're jobbers like Dennis. Real Solid Vision is no joke.
>>143118794
>>143118840
>>143118853
Can I just enjoy Yuya X Yuzu, Mieru, and Grace harem, maybe with the other three Ruruis added?
>>143118733
>People still take Yuri seriously?
Hey its not his fault that the writers like to fuck him in the ass everytime he wants to move the plot
>>143118794
But Mieru is best Arc-V. Mieru x Darling.
>>143118881
He's like the anti-Shun
>>143118891
>Performapal as an archetype in a nutshell
>>143118921
RUDE
At this point the only character that could be a somewhat decent villain would be Reiji if he indeed backstabs the Lancers and fucks over Leo.
>>143118878
Only if you let Masumi join the party.
Then, yes, of course.
>You are now imagining a joint harem of Yuya, Yuzu, and all of the bitches accrued over the course of the series.
>>143118960
>Now why would I do that?
>>143118794
I like Grace but never thought of shipping her with any character. But after this last 3 episodes i'm starting to ship her with Yuya. It reminds me of Yoko and Yusho. Yoko was a bitch but after meeting Yusho she went full thirst. And honestly i see Yuya and Yuzu as friends...now.
>>143118840
Give him time
>>143118853
Pretty sure Yuzu X Yuya is borderline canon
Ono likes to fuck main pairings since 5DS so i wouldn't be surprise if Yuya x Yuzu doesn't happen
>>143118733
Actually, I found the Yuri duel to be a pretty interesting showcase of his ability.
The Yusho students made it a point to brag about entame duels and all rushed to bring out their biggest boss monsters T1, which made me recall the Yuya/Jack duel in 64 where Yuya did the same thing in a show of his prowess, only to get BTFO by Jack.
It felt like the entire sequence was presenting a "what-if" of what would've happened if Yuya didn't have his synchro development and I found it almost chilling in that sense.
>>143118853
>>143118840
>>143118794
Arc-V is quite different from the other Yugioh Series. So i could see Yuya/Grace happen.
>>143119025
You want to do that if you want to be remembered after Arc-V ends. Right now you're less important than jobbers.
>>143119086
All I saw was Yuri sitting on his boss monster and laughing his ass off at the ideology of the Yusho students. Pretty standard fare from what I would expect of basic villain character, and while that was his first legitimate introduction in the series it was too little too late. I don't really expect much of him now and nor do I expect anything from Leo either.
>>143119002
No deal. And you can't stop me.
>>143119093
Yuya never gave a shit about Meiru, what makes you think he'll give two shits about Grace? The moment something comes up with father or friends he'd probably won't even care on how Grace feels about him.
Pool eps, when?
>>143119171
>Sitting on his boss
Nigga did you even watch that duel? Yuri won on the turn he summoned Starve Venom.
>>143118733
I actually kinda liked the Yuri duel getting hijacked by the few minutes of hitotsu ni, it felt like all their squabbles were pointless in the face of the ominous god-like entity hiding in the background just waiting to come out in 30-40 eps.
It was a huge cocktease, but I liked how it shifted the perspective towards the bigger picture for a brief moment.
>>143119192
>what makes you think he'll give two shits about Grace?
She used to be evil. Now she is full egao. Yuya needs to stay close with his first Egao slave

But what exactly is that bigger picture? I just wish they would give us more other than some flashing eyes, magical teleporting portals, and HITOTSU NI. There are no clues or any subtle foreshadowing. The only thing I can think of is that brief scene of the eye and the town was being obliterated but all that signals is destruction. Like I need more.

You sound pathetic you know that? Take off your shipping goggles for once and realise their relation won't develop. Grace isn't even an important character. Some one like Kaito or Edo could easily develop a relation i.e strong friendship with Yuya.
>>143119171
The thing that everyone seems to forget is that, just like all the other Yuu-s, he is a simple 14 year kid that enjoys dueling for fun. They're only different because of their circumstances. Yuto is edgy because his home was destroyed. Yuya was raised on EGAO. Yugo was crude because of commons life. Yuri has been trained as a soldier. Above all, they enjoy dueling. That's why Yuri didn't take it seriously.

He didn't take it seriously because he looks down on the EGAO philosophy and the Yusho duelists as being inferior to him. He was merely toying with them for his own amusement because he's being egotistic.

Edo was a mistake.
>>143119799

>>143120058
Seeing as how Zexal managed to get a half-baked confession scene at the very end I suppose it could work but I'm still not convinced Yuzu and Yuya actually have a thing for each other. They just seem like really good friends where in Zexal it was pretty obvious Kotori was crushing on Yuma the whole time.
>>143120045

Calling them just 'friends' is a bit of an understatement, either that or they are just heavily obsessed with one another.
>>143120319
I like Masumi and Mieru as the "Mistress" options, but I honestly feel like Yuya and Yuzu are supposed to be the actual couple.
Then again, this is a kids' show that has treated relationships hamfistedly at best and completely ignored them at worst.
>>143120319
>>143120263
Just wait and see. By the end of Arc-V Yuya will still see Yuzu as nothing more than just a friend
>>143120129
Today I will remind them.
>>143120415
Yuya has forget about yuzu already
>>143120415
I honestly don't care, as long as their resolution isn't a train wreck like Zexal's one, I'm all A.
>>143120377
Look. He has his glowing red eyes. This proves it. Reiji doesn't love Yuya! He loves Hitotsu Nii-Sama!
>>143120457
Now that you mention it Yuya hasn't said Yuzu once since he arrived in the XYZ Dimension
>>143120457
Or maybe the writers didn't want him to be a Yuzu obsessed freak like they did in Synchro? It made him look very clingy.
>>143120377

Yuya decided to devote his career to his father.
Yuya decided to team up with his rival, cross dimensions, befriend CROW, revitalize the passion of a has-been, break out of prison, fight crazed poor people, refuse better career opportunities provided by a friendly French man, become a bondage slave to Barrett, throw away Egao World, unite a divided populous, and freefall onto a hippo for Yuzu's sake.
>>143120714

>>143121026
Probably cover card for Raging Tempest, it is Yuya's card for being the cover.
>>143121011
I believe it's something similar to asking if she can keep him.
>>143121160
Nah, it'll be too late, people would lose interests. The cover card usually debuts a week or two before the set is leaked.
>>143119968
Wow what an uncouthe, ruri would never do such unrefined things
>>143121160
They wouldn't reveal the cover this early.
>>143121160
I kinda doubt that. Usually, cover cards are more high profile. Even C96 had some build up to it. A Rune/Beast-Eyes for warriors doesn't really match up to that anymore.
>>143121251
Ruri agreed to do whatever a guy said if he beat her in a duel. She's a slut.
>>143121205
>The cover card usually debuts a week or two before the set is leaked.
Then what could take the place of the Yuya card as the cover? Maybe Yusho finally gives Yuya his ace, Sky Magician...
Then maybe there is a change for Brave-Eyes to be in Invasion... unless they want to save him as another promotional for one of the many magazines...

>>143121346
The next cover card is almost certainly the Fusion Pendulum. Brave Eyes will probably make the cut for Invasion of Venom.
>>143121554
Which is a Ritual. Cover card is always the first monster of its section and ignores character order.
>>143121346
If Yuya debuts a new ace or his fusion pendulum just right about in September, then that'll be the cover. Although, I have a feeling this cover won't be his (then again patterns say other wise, so it's highly likely it'll be his), it'll more fitting if he gets the last pack cover for Arc-V, which is in January, rather than second last.
>>143122231
It'll be*
>>143121880
Who?
>>143122346
/pol/ meme
>>143121346
The fact that, Yuya is going to fusion dimension most likely in 112, which means he has about 2 months of worth of episodes to either make his pendulum fusion or meet his father. Then again, the cover card could be something unexpected like a new boss pendulum magician or Odd-Eyes upgrade. I mean, we didn't realise a new fusion dragon would appear this episode.
>>143122611
I think that we knew that Yuya would likely reveal a new boss monster just because it was a two part duel.
>>143121554
INOV has at least 12 Extra Deck monsters, but Brave-Eyes certainly won't be before Starve Venom.

Actually they were really, really good at it during the first arc. Synchro fucking ruined everything.
>>143122891
This doesn't have the same punch as Yugo vs Jack or even Jack vs Yuto. The seiyuus need to be more chunni. It sounds like Shun's VA wasn't even trying.
>>143123261
Not to mention that the back and forth nature of the duel was better. This one was way too one sided.
>>143123300
I didn't realize that PHANTOM KNIGHTS NEVER DIE was a meme with the Nips too.
>>143123217
It didn't. At all. Synchro's entire issues were its pacing and trying to stall endgame plot points.
Roger was a phenomenal villain, Barrett arguably was redeemed as a credible threat, and Dennis was good too.
>>143123369
Almost all of our memes were either 2ch memes to begin with or memes that we both came up with at the same time.
>>143123436
Synchro ruined everything by taking up fifty fucking episodes and not advancing anything and now there's no time left for any of the real villains to get any development. So yes, synchro fucking ruined everything.
>>143120537
This is so gay I don't even know where to begin with this faggotry
>>143123462
>not advancing anything
you mean, other than shun getting a fuckton of development, yuya standing on his own, establishing more yugo jigen villains, redeeming sora, and giving more development to not only reiji, but his brother as well?
>>143123508
Jajaja
>>143123548
just saying, synchro arc developed a fuckton of the plot, it was just paced horribly.
>>143123579
Fair enough
>>143122891
Jeez, is it shit on Shun month? It seems like they're trying to make up for his winning streak by losing a string of duels.
>>143122231
Last Zexal pack didn't have a Yuma card, so I doubt the last pack will have a Yuya card. The final booster will likely be SVFD's upgrade, or a Reiji monster. Or even the anime's version of Genesis Omega which technically isn't Yuya's, like how the 2nd booster has a "Yuya card" (DXRD) which technically isn't Yuya's.
>>143122422
How many of you here are /pol/lacks
>>143123600
It's funny because if he had summoned Ultimate Ruri from the start he would have won.
>>143123508
This + Selena got a bit of development through learning to not be so rigid thanks to Yugo/Yuya, Yugo got his entire backstory explained, we learned how the Ruri affair happened, and we learned of the impact of Academia's indirect influence on other worlds.

>>143123508
>giving more development to not only reij
How exactly has Reiji developed? I'm pretty sure he's stayed the exact same throughout this entire show.
>Shun left his Vanishing Lanius on the field which caused him to lose
>>143123709
I'm Front.
Ask me anything.
>>143123672
I would have also tried searching out a booster strix instead of another vanishing lanius. Whenever my Ultimate Falcon dies, I want it to take something with it. Speaking of which, has Ultimate Falcon ever actually won Shun a game? Anime-wise, Satellite Cannon Falcon is a better ace.
>>143123740
he was revealed to care for people, actually understand motivations, and that he was out for more than power.
>>143123753
iirc he's only used ultimate falcon once, hasn't he?
>>143123803
He's used it twice, against Crow and Kaito.
It jobbed both times.
>>143123611
SVFD upgrade is probably not going to be a cover card and is more likely to be in Raging Tempest since it is highly likely that it and the Fusion Pendulum will fight. It seems possible that the final booster will be a Reiji monster. The anime equivalent of Genesis Omega also is unlikely to be a cover card since the protagonist's ultimate monster has never been a cover card before.

His relationship with Reira was explored. He actually cares more about him than his mother does and wants to see Reira grow and attain a sense of self. He's shown to be more compassionate towards him than last season when putting a hand on his shoulder would give Reira the chills.
>>143123753
Shun has used it twice so far and he lost both times. Poor Ultimate Falcon.

I feel like I've seen that same Japanese text on other pictures too. Is it a meme?
>>143123775
I don't really buy that honestly. I think he was always like that. Character development usually stems from some kind of problem a character has that they need to overcome which makes them change. So far Reiji hasn't had any of that. We just never saw much of him except for his stoic, calculating side because the writers never felt like giving him enough screen time.
So in Synchro we see a few more sides of him we didn't see before but it's largely implied that he was always like that.
Reiji hasn't been through any struggles where something he believes in has been challenged or some really tragic situation that turned his world upside down and he needs to overcome it like Yuya had to with his Entame being challenged by Jack.
>>143123930
fine, instead of 'development' we got 'exposition' on reiji's character.
>>143123959
Sure, I'll accept that Reiji has a bit more depth to him than previously shown. Still isn't nearly enough for his role as the rival character.

Ironically enough, his "keikaku" of entering them into the friendship cup explains a lot of how he views the lancers.
>He gathered them because they showed potential vs the obelisk force
>He notes that Yuya fights purely with emotion during their duel and takes advantage of that to dominate him (and this not a flaw exclusive to Yuya alone, up to that point: Yuya, Shun, and Sawatari were far too hot-headed when shit hit the fan, Selena was shown to be naive and prideful, Reira was an emotional mess, and Gon/Dennis/Tsukikage were the only one that showed any signs of being able to do their job without letting emotions get in the way)
When confronted regarding Reira, Reiji says pic related and that becomes the crux of how each character evolves throughout their duels in the arc. He recognized that they'd get slaughtered if they fought head-on, so he arranged for a way for them to mature in a controlled environment, with his only reliable Lancer, Tsukikage monitoring the ones underground.
There's a certain mix of derision and hopefulness that's pretty easy to assume from how he treats them in synchro that isn't as easily picked up on before; especially shun.
Also the full Reira relationship thing.
>>143123902
It's the closed captioning in moonrunes.
>>143123860
The Mieru Duel actually serves as a good point of foreshadowing that we're still getting payoff from. It's plot-relevant even if the character herself didn't stick around for long.
Just because the Prison Arc was shit as a concept doesn't mean it's not relevant. Sadly, a downside of Synchro is that a good chunk of it is unentertaining shit that you still need to watch because there IS important plot in there. At the very least, the Enjoy duels should be marked in yellow.
Ironically, Yuzu VS Sergey can be completely skipped because the important parts show up in repeated flashbacks over the next half dozen episodes. The duel itself is pretty lackluster, to boot. Still should probably be yellow.
100 and 101 cannot be skipped, even if most of 101 is recap. 100 has some of the best acting in the series and one of the best keikaku-offs in card game anime history. 101 is admittedly something you COULD skip if you REALLY didn't want to sit through 15 minutes of recap, but definitely not skipping 100.
7/10 overall. A good start, but some things are needed that you've marked as not so needed.
>>143123902
What the fuck? They're just captions. Like when you turn on close captions while watching tv.
>>143123996
Well, we can hold out hope for this last arc. There's bound to be something deeper to his relationship with Leo.
>>143124139
except ENJOY doesn't exactly contribute a lot to the plot, nor does yuya dueling there. he's just helping someone ENJOY dueling again.
I'll bump up mieru, but I don't think the prison arc really contributed anything to the plot.
>>143124160
>3 Jokers
>>143124180
I think the lead up (59) and the latter two eps (62-63) were a bit more important than the rest and deserve considering at yellow.
59 is important in hindsight because it provides the implication in 73 that gallager was setting up Shun, Gon, and Dennis for capture the entire time and it also has good bits with Reira
62 has the prison escape sequence which is great for confirming how Shun reacts towards lancers who aren't keikakuing assholes or Dennis
and 63 is the escape + explanation of the friendship cup and its origin
That's just my suggestion though.
Overall, not a bad job, anon.
>>143124343
but even then, gallagher contributes NOTHING to the plot.
at all.
it's a d-plot that leads into a c-plot.
the only good thing about the escape is this, and shun doesn't really get development regarding his attitude until his duel with crow.
>>143124390
>A Gallagher contributes NOTHING
I'm not surprised
>>143124390
>the only good thing about the escape is this
Batman Shun alone is worth watching the eps for.
>>143124116
Post your glorious CAC
>>143124390
I suppose that's generally true. I might be a bit biased because I really enjoyed the prison arc.
>>143124526

SVFD upgrade in the pack right after the SVFD pack? That seems way too soon. My money's on a Fusion Pendulum cover for Raging Tempest (although a Reiji card sounds tempting if it weren't for the consistent cover card pattern). I can only think of a Reiji card or SVFD upgrade for the cover card.

Is it plausible to have the Fusion Pendulum appear in November's Booster SP? I would imagine that the SP after Destiny Soldiers will be focused on Fusion archetypes like Ancient Gears since we already have Booster SPs for Pendulum, Synchro, and Xyz, plus it would be the final one for Arc-V.
>>143124139
I dunno if I'd call a good chunk of it outright unentertaining. Every ep had at least something that made it decent/worthwhile and perpetually above Michie or Quiz tier, and from 70-75 onwards it was overall a fairly smooth ride to the finish.
It's certainly paced far too slowly for its own fucking good, but the biggest issue came with watching it provide bits and pieces weekly, so those issues aren't even all that big of a deal anymore.
>>143124036
Just a reminder Aquaba Ragey, it was I, Sawatari Shingo, in the rival booster pack not you.
>>143124727
The November Booster SP is almost certainly a fusion themed one. However, it is extremely unlikely for the Fusion Pendulum to appear there. The Fusion SP pack will probably contain Predator Plants and a SVFD reprint. It'll likely also contain Ancient Gears. Then the third archetype will be game original.
>>143124727
Right now, my money is on us finally getting the Odd-Eyes/Clear Wing Synchro Pendulum combination.
>Tempest
>Clear Wing is wind
Just figuring what the pack name is referencing.
>>143125039
Meant to link >>143124600
>>143125039
>Clear Wing having a secondary upgrade
>not to mention gotta go fast Dragon
SYNCHRO WAS A MISTAKE
>>143125066
Combining with Odd-Eyes isn't really a Clear Wing upgrade.
Like Odd-Eyes Rebellion isn't Dark Rebellion's upgrade. Dark Requiem is.
Just seems plausible that Odd-Eyes will eventually combine with Clear Wing and Starve Venom for a Synchro Pendulum and Fusion Pendulum.
>>143124923
SVFD reprint? Too soon man. HSRD didn't have a Clear Wing reprint.
>>143125133
Speaking of Odd-Eyes and upgrades, will we ever get a true Odd-Eyes upgrade, or will Odd-Eyes basically be "multi formed" like Neos was?
>Brave-Eyes fucked over in literally two minutes
Arc-V really knows how to shit on boss monsters like it's nobody's business
>>143125201
Unless they are Reiji's
So I haven't watched this show in a while, I stopped after they started that D-wheel tournament because it got too slow and boring but what is my nigga Reiji up to? Have they explained why exactly he wants to stop his dad? Have they talked about what his dad's plans are? Or are they still in the synchro tournament?
>>143125224
Reiji gets the least amount of screentime so in order to make sure his cards sell they have to make them look good.
>>143125262
They're still in the tournament.
>>143125172
I think we'll get a pure Effect Pendulum Odd-Eyes upgrade eventually. I was hoping it'd come out in this Edo duel because of the way boss monsters are introduced and the upcoming episode's title "Pendulum Heart". If we get Odd-Eyes Clear and Venom Dragons, then that means we'd have 2 Synchro Pendulums and only 1 Xyz Pend and 1 Fusion Pend. It makes more sense for the next pack's cover to be the Fusion Pendulum. The FP will likely be a Performapal (maybe with Stargazer in there as well). The hopes for a 2nd set of Extra Deck Pendulums was dashed on Saturday when Yuya revealed no new Xyz monster. Even if it appeared, odds are it'll just be useful to make OERD once Yuto separates from Yuya and it won't get its own Xyz Pendulum upgrade.
>>143125290
At this point, they have meta value, so they sell regardless
>>143125262
Why do people ask these questions? It's as if Google doesn't exist.
We're finishing up an Xyz mini arc right now.
>>143125262
Reiji took down an army of Security Jobbers who had like 20 Mirror Forces, Infinite Looped an Infinite Rogers to death, and was last seen holding on to Reira preventing him from flying into a massive wormhole.
Reiji wanted to recruit Yuushou into his army way back for his first keikaku.
Most recent event was Yuuya in Xyz Dimension taming a pair of semen demons with his massive egao.
>>143125316
Thing is, if Yuya was gonna get a Performapal Fusion Pendulum, first he needs to get a Performapal regular Fusion, like with the Paladins.
Not that I'm against Performapal Fusions. I would love it if Trump Girl had more things to go into in my deck besides Odd-Eyes Vortex and Starve Venom.
Anyway, I do hope that Odd-Eyes gets a Pendulum upgrade of his own. Though I also hope that if its a (blank)-Eyes Pendulum Dragon or something, its at least treated as an Odd-Eyes monster so that its searchable.
Every thread until he returns.
>>143125427
Performapals already have a Fusion upgrade: Beast-Eyes. Stargazer has a Fusion upgrade as well in the form of Rune-Eyes. Even though Yuya used Trump Girl as Material last time he summoned it, Rune-Eyes's design is clearly based off of Stargazer and its effect is maximized when Stargazer (as Lv 5) is used as Material.
Brave-Eyes was a surprise, I think it could go with the upcoming episode title: BRAVE eyes pendulum HEART if you get the reference. More realistically, it also seems like the Odd-Eyes fusion upgrades reference protagonist archetypes and aces: Rune-Eyes refs Yugi's magicians. Beast-Eyes refs Yuya's EMs, and Brave-Eyes refs Yuma's warrior ace (since we're in Xyz) and Judai/Edo's warriors (since Yuya's fighting Ed/Fusion). And of course they are all dragons so they ref Yusei while still being "Pendulum Dragons" to red Yuya and his counterparts. Deepest lore indeed.
If you're looking for a Fusion Pendulum, it'll likely be a fusion of EM, magician, and Odd-Eyes although it'd be better lore-wise if it was just EM+Stargazer.
>>143125262
reiji single-handedly crushed a squadron of Security members, then dueled roger. roger cheated, setting up infinite holograms of himself to constantly jump into the duel to wear him down.
In response, reiji set up an infinite OTK that would trigger every time a roger clone showed up.
then all the lancers except reiji got sucked into a dimensional portal, and everyone except yuzu went to the Xyz dimension, while yuzu is in the fusion dimension.
oh, and reiji is buttmad at his dad for his plans to invade everywhere.
>>143126111
Technically Ninja and Reira are still the remaining lancers too.
>>143126137
oh right, forgot about reira.
reiji, reira, and irrelevant ninja didn't get sucked in either.
so, since yuma never managed to beat kaito, do you think we'll get a repeat with yuya and reiji?
>>143118148
Once Grace meets Yusho, she can forget about Yuya.
we still got 30+ episode before this series end
u think writer can complete?
>>143126111
RANYU PENALTY NISEN POINTO
>>143126188
Well technically around 37/38 more episodes to be precise, and that's taking away the two breaks we usually receive in December and New Years. I'd say 33 episodes on the plot full on without any consistent dragging, which is well enough. 2 episodes each in the end for resolvement (aftermath) and the ceremonial duel.
>>143126331
don't forget we'll likely get another flashback episode near the end, like 'king's gambit' and the fucking hour-long special.
>>143125712
>Brave Heart
Nice eye and mind.
I just hope the fusion pendulum further improves pure perfomapals plays.
