Jord200 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm curious as to what role the reporter is going to play. She seems to hold some significance after saying she should keep an eye on Yuugo. Arc V Carly anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Except for the fact Carly actually had a large role in 5Ds (being a Dark Signer and all; plus the stuff with Jack). What does Melissa Claire have, besides being a reporter? But that seems about right. --- Anyway, subs are up for those who want them: http://www.animeonline.us/yu-gi-oh-arc-v-episode-55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have only one complaint now. I miss Speed World ;w; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR_CAT Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just because a character is a reporter doesn't make them Carly's counterpart. Don't be grasping for straws, people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Wolf Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I don't think she is a Carly counterpart. I was just speculating on how she could be important somewhere down the line. I'm more associating her with Nico Smiley as they both have an interest in Yuugo/Yuuya respectively, so like Nico wants to be a father like figure for Yuuya, Melissa could end up becoming a sot of mother figure to Yuugo.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'd add my sub thoughts here, but more/less that script mshends posted earlier was more/less accurate. But general things. [spoiler=] Yeah, the Security got Yuya/Serena mixed up for Yugo/Yuzu. Wouldn't be the first group of people to confuse them. DC227 didn't listen to Roger's orders (since he knew what would happen), so that's why he got creamed. And unlike with Trudge, we'll likely not see him again (but possibly another Chaser). We did see Melissa make a side comment before ending the broadcast, so likely she will play a more prominent role with Yugo. Yuzu doesn't like the concept of Riding Duels (from the dialogue), but if you watched 5Ds, the concept is familiar to us. And no, it's not possible to stand up and duel; especially going at 220 km/h (assuming that D-Wheels in this universe obey the rules that 5Ds set up). Although likely they're slower, otherwise Yuzu would've flown off the D-Wheel at some point (although anime physics more/less disregard inertia and other things, so...) [/spoiler] I have only one complaint now. I miss Speed World ;w; A lot of us miss Speed World. It did appear, but not like the one that 5Ds showcased so much. We could see a new version for ARC-V that utilizes Speed Spells / SPC, although Yugo would need a rehaul of his Deck. Or this goes on the lines of 5Ds manga, which didn't even use the Field Spell to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeskipper Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 [spoiler='Welp, I finally watched the subs']COMRADE YUGO is amazing as usual, nothing to say here. Disappointed at not having been shown any Speed Counter related stuff, but I'm not ready to give up on the possibility yet. Jean-Michel Roger is already getting on my nerves. Plz stop with the cheesy chess imagery, it's ultra-cliché and out of place. Goodwin was way cooler. Speed Roids will lead the Revolution. Duel by itself was meh. Really interested in seeing how will the story develop now that the Aveng- ehm, Lancers, have arrived in New Domino. If it is New Domino. And where are Yugo and Yuzu? Ooooh, this is gonna be soooo good...[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR_CAT Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Why... does Jean have a chess garbage chute in the back of his room that he's apparently very skilled at tossing stuff in over his shoulder... this guy needs a hobby... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 If you watched the episode with subtitles, that chess piece he threw away represented DC 227. Translated into English terms. "If you fail even one time, I'm done with you." No words on the chess thing though, but it's already been said that chess and Yugioh don't have anything in common (save for being strategy-based; although that's somewhat debatable in the latter nowadays) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord200 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I never said she was a counterpart. She's an expy. A shout out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR_CAT Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 No I know WHY he threw it away... I'm just wondering why he has like a whole chute for this and why it's across the room behind him and not just like a waste-basket under his desk, and why he's SO GOOD AT BLINDLY TOSSING IT OVER HIS SHOULDER. Honestly, and you think GOODWIN is cooler?! He doesn't have the garbage-can swagger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord200 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'm just saying, and not choosing sides, but keep in mind Goodwin wasn't even originally going to be the last Dark Signer. Crow was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure Wolf Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 The only thing I have to say about the chess thing is why waste a good chess piece? And a Queen at that, surely throwing away a pawn would be better symbolism for the fact that's what Duel Chasers basically are. I'm actually thinking that security is based on chess ranks, the stardard DCs are pawns, rooks would be guards, knights elite DCs, Bishops highly strategic members, Queen is the strongest duelist there, and Jean as King. Or chess depicts the city, White for the Tops with Jack as King, and Black for Commons with possible someone like Crow as King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeskipper Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 DC227 was apparently the best of his department - thus the most valuable "piece". As for throwing away his chess pieces... well, I don't think the guy has any difficulty finding new ones. Plus, he does ring "narcissist". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah, I got the impression that Jean treats his underlings as nothing but disposable; especially after the subs came out. In terms of the chess piece, he could get another one (but likely symbolic of his relationship to 227 after that match). Then again, DC227 got cocky and thought he could win (after Jean told him to hold off), but as we probably know by now; because of DC's naiveté, it cost him the Duel and likely his job. --- We'll see how he treats the Securities handling Yuya and the others if they happen to lose or whatever. Probably the same treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR_CAT Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 We honestly need a GIF of Jean tossing that chess piece over his shoulder and into the trash. This -NEEDS- to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Question: If that's Jean's treatment, why did 227 brag about his perfect capture record? I mean, if you fail, you seem to be outta there, so any Securities must have a perfect record. (Unless it was a combination of his loss and his ignoring of Jean's orders that caused him to be disposed of.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Wolf Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just a quick speculation but the dimensions could have underlying tones of different games of some kind. Standard is TV game shows, Synchro is strategic board games, so that leaves what Fusion and Xyz could be. Though it is almost 3 in the morning here so could just be me.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 We honestly need a GIF of Jean tossing that chess piece over his shoulder and into the trash. This -NEEDS- to happen. You can do it on your own, however that'll imply that someone puts the episode on Youtube; then we can convert the whole thing. Either that, or screen capture video on desktop. Question: If that's Jean's treatment, why did 227 brag about his perfect capture record? I mean, if you fail, you seem to be outta there, so any Securities must have a perfect record. (Unless it was a combination of his loss and his ignoring of Jean's orders that caused him to be disposed of.) 227 probably did have a perfect record (we don't know), but because he lost AND it could've been prevented if he didn't become conceited about his unconfirmed promotion and attack blindly, well yeah he's gone. Trudge didn't brag about his arrests (although he never did mention them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeskipper Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 To be honest, I would've liked it much better if Yugo's face down card had been a Spell card, and Roger's command NOT to attack had thus caused the loss. Still, Dice Roll Battle is cool. I hope they release it (though with some changes to make it viable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 They likely will release Yugo's Dice cards; might not be surprised if they end up in that new pack we're getting in August (OCG). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeskipper Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I certainly hope so. By the way, it seems like Speed Roids have a sub-archetype, namely the "Dice". I wonder how they will interact with the others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I actually like to think Jean's request to stop his attack came too late. I mean, he spent like, five hours looking at that chess piece. Going by real-time that attack declaration could have occurred while Jean was busy being Hannibal.

Tinkerer Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Anyone think that Jean might use a Chess-themed series of cards? I would love that (and no, not the Archfiend chess series). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
