mshends Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 [spoiler=59 RAW] This episode is very disappointed. The first 15 of the episode was ok, Shun vs Dennis have a decent end. The episode gives us a bit of Reira, and it was nice to see Crow warming up to him. Serena and Sawatari’s scene are a bit pointless, but at least they now know about Jack. Oh and we finally get to see that new character. But oh boy, after the first 15 minutes, the episode suddenly becomes really painful to watch.. Smile vs Food (really-_-). That is probably the dumbest reason for them to have a duel! Instead of the exciting Yuya vs Crow, we instead got this mess. Seriously this is Crow first duel for god sake; I rather have a serious duel than this tbh. The preview tricks us again. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeskipper Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 You know, since what we found out in ep 58 how Duel Chasers are more or less there to put on a show for the Tops by "heroically" chasing "criminals", while the security will arrest them afterwards anyway, I think I know why the Duel Chaser's deck was different from the Security goons' deck, and was also a lot weaker: the Duel Chasers are just there for the show. Security needs to have the best of the best, thus SniOPing Hazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pchi Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 [spoiler='Quick note']Funny how last week we all bet on Serena and Sawatari's insistence on going out to look for the others by themselves backfiring on them, but it turned out regrouping with the other Lancers was what sealed their fates XD Also, the lack of Serena in the preview makes me wonder if the Facility is split by gender.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldry_lord Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 [spoiler="Lessons of today's episode are:"] - Egao (and food apparently) doesn't solve everything. - In City, no matter where you are, and what you're doing, being a Top is an intangible get-out-of-jail-free card. - Never trust the episode title. - If Security is hunting you down, don't stay in one place too long or return to the same place twice.

Pchi Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 [spoiler='Rectification']Forget what I've just said: it appears Security followed them until Crow's place. So they're the ones to blame in the end *facepalm*[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, shut up, I’m not promoting alcoholism. What gives you that idea?Dennis: We followed Gallager, a man who called himself an excellent promoter, To an Underground Duel Arena. In that place, they conduct many illegal Gambling Duels.Dennis: In order to search for strong Duelists, Kurosaki entered the Underground Duel Arena, And is recognized as No. 1 in that place, Both in terms of popularity and strength.Dennis: To sum it up, Gallager wants Kurosaki to fight against us In order to make the show even more thrilling.Dennis: And if you score ten wins in a row in this Duel Arena, You’ll be able to participate in a tournament known as the Friendship Cup. So, I challenged Kurosaki to a Duel.Dennis: Pendulum Summon! Come forth! My monsters!Jean-Michel: Pendulum Summon?Security Officer: Yes, sir. It’s in the Underground Duel Arena located in the center of the City.Jean-Michel: Send our people over there at once. They’re probably hiding in that place.Security Officer: Roger that. (Opening Sequence)Random Dude: Did he just summon three monsters at the same time!?Random Dude 2: He can even summon Level-5 monsters without releasing monsters!Gallager: Gahahaha! Well, did that blow you away? This is exactly why I have my eyes on Dennis!Random Lady: That reminds me…I saw him using that on TV. He used it in his Duel at Central Park, too.Random Guy: That’s right. That time, too…Random Guy 2: It’s that thing, huh?Gallager: Exactly! It’s the summon method that has the magic to bewitch everyone! Its name…is Pendulum Summon!Gallager: These two are the most extraordinary of all extraordinary showpieces that I, Gallager, the most excellent promoter, have prepared for today!

I truly am magnificent!Random Dude: At this rate, wouldn’t Kurosaki lose if he is attacked?Random Lady: I don’t want Kurosaki-san to lose. But Dennis-sama is cool, too!Random Dude 12: If a newbie like him is able to defeat a first-rate Duelist like Kurosaki, his popularity will explode!Gallager: Now then, what will happen? Will Kurosaki be able to protect his No. 1 spot? Or will a new No. 1 replace him? Will it be Kurosaki or Dennis?

When the monster that equipped it is destroyed, The damage is reduced to zero, And I can add a RUM card from my deck to my hand! I’m adding Rank Up Magic – Revolution Force to my hand!Dennis: Your struggle is pointless. Even if you’ve added a Quick-play Magic to your hand, You can’t activate it during my turn. You don’t even have any monsters on your field. So you’re already lost. !Kurosaki: Trap Card! Light Speed Attack! Due to this card’s effect, I can activate a Quick-play Magic in my hand!Dennis: Eh?Kurosaki: I activate the Quick-Play Magic, RUM – Revolution Force! I can take control of an Xyz Monster on my opponent’s field. Then, I can Rank Up that monster into a Raidraptor monster that is one Rank higher! Prideful Falcon.

AAAHHH!Random Dude: W-what is it!?Random Dude 2: A power outage?Security: This is Security! You’re all under arrest for attending an illegal Riding Duel! Stay where you are! Do not put up any pointless resistance! I’ll repeat it again. You’re all under arrest for attending an illegal Riding Duel!GONGENZAKA: Hey! Hold on!GONGENZAKA: Curses!Security: The Commons that we deemed dangerous have been restrained. We also captured the two people who used Xyz Summon and Pendulum Summon, along with their friend.Jean-Michel: Well done. Do continue to expand the extent of your search area, And thoroughly investigate the Commons’ Underground Duel Arenas. The Commons are probably sheltering the fugitives. Restrain those who dare to resist you. And do whatever you need to do.Security: Roger that.Jean-Michel: This is perfect timing. Now, I can thoroughly clean up this City.Frank: Synchro Summon!Tanner: You can’t do that! That’s not a Tuner Monster!Frank: Drat! He saw through me!Tanner: You think you can fool me?Frank: Hahaha…Sorry, sorry!Reira: Brother…where are you?Yuuya: Hey! Did you see Serena and Sawatari, by any chance?Frank: The scary lady and the super-snobby guy?Tanner: I didn’t see them out here. Are they inside?Yuuya: No. I can’t find them anywhere. Did they go to the center of the City on their own again? Hopefully, they’re not going to go all the way up there… What a troublesome lot.Yuuya: Reira, what’s wrong?Reira: I’m going to search for my brother!Yuuya: You can’t do that!Yuuya: S-sorry! I’m not angry at you or anything…Reira: Brother…Yuuya: It’s too dangerous to walk around the City right now. Didn’t Crow tell you? Let’s just wait here. Okay? Reira.Yuuya: It’s okay. I’ll definitely bring you to Akaba Reiji somehow.Serena: I attack directly with Moonlight Cat Dancer!SAWATARI-SAN: Good job! This is the eighth person you defeated! You said that you were going to look for Yuzu, But all you’ve been doing is Dueling! Isn’t Yuzu supposed to be important to you?Serena: Of course, searching for Yuzu is important. However, searching for strong Duelists is just as important.Serena: Tell me! Who’s the strongest person around here!?Random Duelist: H-him!SAWATARI-SAN: JACK ATLAS? I’ve seen this poster in some other places, as well.Serena: Where do I have to go to fight him?Security: Targets located. It’s the girl who used Fusion Summon from the other day. The boy with blond hair is also with her.Jean-Michel: In that case, follow them to their hideout. The other person who can use Pendulum Summon is definitely at wherever those two are hiding. (Chess Commercial. Brb)Crow: Those two went out on their own again, didn’t they?Yuuya: Yeah.Crow: Damn it. I told them not to do anything reckless!Yuuya: Sorry. I’ll have a talk with them when they come back.Shinji: I bought the stuff that you requested. You’re still here?Yuuya: Are you…Crow: He’s Shinji, a buddy of mine.Yuuya: Thank you for the other day.Shinji: You guys are wanted, aren’t you? Don’t drag Crow’s kids into it, okay?Yuuya: Yeah. I’ll be careful.Amanda: Shinji! You’re here!Frank & Tanner: Shinji!Shinji: Look. I’ve brought some good stuff.Frank: Whoa!Tanner: How did you get these?Amanda: You didn’t steal them, did you?Frank: If that’s the case, you’ve got some pretty good skills!Shinji: I-idiots! I just bought them while they’re cheap! Come on, why are you looking at me with these eyes? It’s true! Well, whatever, just eat! Eat! Eat! Hey! Get over here and eat! We have a ton of them, so don’t hold back. These are thank-you gifts we received from our Commons friends. Keep that in mind, and eat them!Shinji: All right, I’ve got to go.Crow: Ah. Thank you.Shinji: Be careful. The Securities in the town are searching high and low for you guys.Crow: Okay. Got it.Kids: Bye!Shinji: See you later.Frank: Delicious!Crow: Come on, get over here!Reira: Ah…ah…Crow: If you don’t hurry up, they’ll eat all of them, you know.Crow: Come on, hurry up and get over there.Crow: What? You’re not going to eat?Crow: There’s no need to hesitate. Just get over there and eat.Reira: Is that…an order?Crow: Hahaha! Is it an order? You’ve been here for three days, and that’s the first thing you say? All right. Then, why don’t I give you an order? Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before eating. (Reira nods)Crow: Hey! You guys, go wash your hands, too!Tanner: Eh? Isn’t it already too late?Amanda: But we’re already eating…Crow: Save your complaints for later. This is an order!Kids: Yes, sir…Amanda: Are you done?Frank: I’m next!Crow: Why is that kid so nervous around others?Yuuya: I don’t really know, either.Crow: Kids should be free to do whatever they want.Crow: If they make a mistake, then you just have to give them some advice about it.Yuuya: I just want him to…Yuuya: …Smile. (Egao Count: 46+1=47) I just want to bring back his smile. (Egao Count: 47+1=48) (Alternative translation: I just want to put a smile on his face!)Yuuya: No. Not just Reira. I want to bring smiles and happiness to everyone in the world. (Egao Count: 48+1=49)Crow: Hmph! If you want to be happy, You’ve got to eat and have a full stomach, first of all! Of course, you wouldn’t understand that.Yuuya: Smiles are the symbol of happiness! (Egao Count: 49+1=50)Crow: Yeah, but you can’t eat smiles. (Egao Count: 50+1= 51)Yuuya: No matter how much you eat, you won’t be happy if there’s no smile. (Egao Count: 51+1=52) You’re just going to be lonely without it.Crow: You’ve got to eat first! You can worry about your smiles later! (Egao Count: 52+1=53)Yuuya: That’s not how it is!Crow: Sorry, but that’s just something only the more privileged people would say.Yuuya: What’s that!? If you only eat, it won’t be enough!Crow: NO! You’ve got to eat first! That’s the number one priority!Yuuya: That’s not it!Crow: Hey, you guys. Eating and filling your stomachs is what makes you happy, right?Crow: Hey, say something already! Reira, what do you think?Yuuya: Smiles are what make you happy, right, Reira? (Egao Count: 53+1=54)Crow: All it takes is a hearty meal!Yuuya: No, it’s smiles! (Egao Count: 54+1=55)Crow: Hearty meals!Yuuya: Smiles! (Egao Count: 55+1=56)Crow: Meals!Yuuya: Smiles! (Egao Count: 56+1=57)Crow: You don’t really know anything, do you?Yuuya: Right back at you!Crow: All right, why don’t we have a Duel to decide who’s right?Yuuya: Challenge accepted! I’ll show you the Entertainment Dueling that I inherited from my father!SAWATARI-SAN: This guy sure is a big shot.Serena: He’d better live up to his reputation, then.Serena: It seems like the central area has more strict security the further you go into it.SAWATARI-SAN: Damn right. I’m hungry right now. Let’s just go back for now.Crow: I’m going to drill the importance of a hearty meal into that thick skull of yours!Yuuya: I’m going to show you why smiles are the most important thing ever! (Egao Count: 57+1=58)Crow: Meals!Yuuya: Smiles! (Egao Count: 58+1=59)Frank: Sheesh. Do they have to do this?Tanner: This is just unnecessary.Amanda: They sure are childish. DUEL!Duel Disk: Field Magic, Cross-Over.Yuuya: I’ll take the first turn! Ladies and Gentlemen!Frank: Eh? Is he talking to us?Yuuya: Indeed I am! Right now, I shall introduce you to my reliable monsters Through my Pendulum Summon!Amanda: Pendulum Summon!Frank: Ooh!Tanner: Hurry up! Hurry up!Yuuya: Give me a round of applause if you like my performance!Crow: You think it’d be that easy to win them over?Yuuya: Using the Scale-1 Stargazer Magician and the Scale-8 Timegazer Magician in my hands, I set the Pendulum Scale! With this, I can simultaneously summon monsters from Level-2 to 7!Frank: Awesome!Tanner: Hurry up! Hurry up!Yuuya: Swing, Pendulum of the Soul! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Come! My monsters! First off, we have Entermate Silver Claw! Then, we have Entermate Soldier Tiger! And finally, we have the ever magnificent Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!Frank: Awesome!Amanda: He summoned three monsters at the same time!Tanner: This is so cool!Yuuya: I have put the flowers of smiles on the faces of three children in an instant with my Pendulum Summon! (Egao Count: 59+1: 60)Crow: Don’t act so high and mighty just because you managed to give them some momentary entertainment.Yuuya: I shall end my turn here, And conclude the first act!Serena: Why are they Dueling? SAWATARI-SAN: Seems like something interesting has happened while the magnificent Sawatari is away. Crow: Here I go! I shall start my Hungry Duel! It’s my turn! Where there are no cards on my field, I can Special Summon Black Feather - Gust the Backblast, from my hand! Then, when there is a Black Feather on my field, I can Special Summon this card from my hand! Come! Black Feather - Oroshi the Squall!Frank: Crow was able to summon two monsters just like that!Crow: I release Oroshi the Squall, and Advance Summon Assault Black Feather - Kunai the Drizzle. I don’t need to use Pendulum Summon to be able to summon multiple monsters!Yuuya: Both of our first acts are pretty good, eh?Crow: Hah! If you use Pendulum, I’ll just have to use my Synchro Summon!Yuuya: Eh? But you don’t have any Tuner Monster on your field!Crow: Don’t underestimate my Black Feathers! I activate the effect of Kunai the Drizzle! When this card is Advanced Summon by releasing a Black Feather, It can be treated as a Tuner Monster! I’m tuning the Level-2 Gust the Backblast with the Level-5 Kunai the Drizzle! Spread your jet-black wings, And charge through your enemy with thunder! Slash through the lightning! Synchro Summon! Rain down your attacks on them! Assault Black Feather - Raikiri the Sudden Shower!Frank: Here comes a Synchro monster!Tanner: But Pendulum is pretty cool, too.Amanda: Oh my. So Tanner is on Yuuya’s side?Frank: Even though Crow is the one who looks after him.Tanner: But, you know…Amanda: Reira is on Yuuya’s side as well, right?Frank: That goes without saying!Yuuya: If Reira is on my side, my strength will be increased a hundredfold!Yuuya: R-Reira?Crow: HAHAHAHAHA! Children are very honest, after all. You’re on my side, right?Crow: Hey, hey!Shinji: It’s Security! Get outta here! They already surrounded this place!Yuuya: We’re surrounded!?Serena: They followed us here?Crow: Crap!Shinji: Damn it!Serena: Unhand me! Unhand me!Yuuya: R-Reira?Yuuya: Where’s Reira? Reira!Crow: Leave the kids alone!Yuuya: Reira! REIRAAAAAAAAAAAA! New Egao Record: 60 (Preview for Episode 60)Security: Welcome to the gathering place of failures! This will be your new sweet home from now on! We’ll confiscate your Duel Disks! Dueling without permission is prohibited here.Yuuya: We can have our Decks back????: Here, those things are the most important thing, second only to life itself. Well, that’s why we have to treasure them as much as possible.Yuuya: Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V: No Cards, No Pardon The fun has just begun!

Pchi Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 [spoiler='EGAO vs. FOOD?']So Yuuya and Crow's argument does pose an important question - it's just they fight over it in a overtly childish fashion XD That reminds me of song I know that talks about how, to the poor people, it's essential that their basic needs, like nutrition and health, are attended to, but like any other human being, they need more than that to live; entertainment, education and sports are also important for their well-being.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 [spoiler=59 thoughts] I predicted Dennis would make a R5 or something this episode, and he did. Too bad for the time being, it's not really worth using. It would've been nice to see the conclusion...had Roger not sent Security to arrest them for whatever reason. I would assume it's related to the attack on Tops that Yuzu and Yugo were responsible for. That, or Roger decided to make an excuse to do it (and also because of the illegal duels). TBH, I already considered him to be a scumball anyway, even if I never mentioned it (talking about Roger). ------- You don't argue with Crow, Yuya, but at least you P-Summoned properly this time. Again, I would've liked to see the duel conclude but apparently more trumped up shit from Roger caused it to end early. At least Tsukikage arrived to Reira (but no protection for the kids). Reira wants his brother, but he should understand full well that Reiji isn't here right now. -------- Yeah, it appears we get the ARC-V equivalent of The Facility now (well, next episode). Let's see if Armstrong (or his likely counterpart appears). TBH, I could care less if they don't bring him back; he was only there as some filler. As of this point, I more/less hate the crap out of Roger (but then again, ARC-V Neo Domino is basically twisted as hell anyway).

Sleepy Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 [spoiler=spoiler] For the argument, one is a need, one is a want. They both would have more of a case if they didn't seem to completely disregard the other side, but even so... It feels pretty weird to see people getting arrested without a duel first. They didn't do that in 5Ds as far as I remember. I wonder what they'll do. I could almost see them follow in the path Yusei took, but it'd have to be team work because I can't picture any single one of them being able to do the same otherwise. Sawatari needs something to pull him down to Earth, and Serena underestimated Sector Security. I hope they get some kind of guilt or consequence after they involved kids and civilians that risked their skin for them into this mess, though I most likely see it not happening.

Tinkerer Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Maybe Roger wants them in the facility to observe their dueling skills in an enclosed environment and see if they were hiding other things. It said that their duel disks will be taken away as well, probably to study the action duel solid vision system. To be honest, most of what Roger is doing is fairly logical. I predict that after a bit, he will personally invite them out of the facility to help him with an as yet unknown goal in exchange for dropping charges. I also have another question, with Reiji and the Lancers in the Synchro dimension, doesn't that leave Standard defensless? I mean, Fusion doesn't know that Serena/Yuzu aren't still in Standard, so they still have a reason to invade, don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gokai-Red Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 [spoiler=spoiler] It feels pretty weird to see people getting arrested without a duel first.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 [spoiler=59 subs] I reaffirm my thoughts that Roger is a scumbag in this arc, and New Neo Domino is elitist as hell. He even sent Security to arrest children who did nothing wrong; reminds me of those incidents involving police nowadays. It was funny to watch Yuya and Crow argue about what's better for happiness; food or smiles. Now if only Yuya knew why Reira acts the way he does; maybe he'd understand better. Sawatari and Serena were foolish to return back to the hideout, because they got captured along with Yuya. Then again, Yuya and Crow were foolish enough to remain in the open too. Otherwise, RAW thoughts still hold. --------- Although there are probably other reasons for why Yuya got arrested, but meh. I would predict things will probably end up like how Yusei vs Armstrong turned out in the end. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 [spoiler=Thoughts on 59 subbed] - Roger was right to suspect that some of the suspects (ie Yuya and co) are hiding amongst the commons, but yeah he is being a twat. - He did say "restrain anyone who resists. Use any means necessary.", so while the kids didn't do anything wrong in theory, but security didn't see it that way; I reckon that security were implying that the kids were helping to harbour suspects. - Good to see Serena taking the "Search for strong duelists" thing seriously. - I will reiterate from my RAW thoughts; the Food/Smiles argument was stupid. Both of them do have a case, but Crow's has more foundation. It was funny re-watching it though. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeskipper Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 [spoiler='Thoughts']Ambivalent on the EGAO vs FOOD thing. It seems a bit of a silly way to mention this actual real-world problem (yes, poor people need to eat first and foremost, but it's also true that everyone has also psychological needs that must be fulfilled), and it did sound just a bit indelicate to me. Still, Crow's interaction with the kids was most definitely adorable. So yeah, I can hand it to the writers that they ARE tackling real-world issues, and so far, they're not failing. Yes, ARC-V won't be a masterpiece of social critique, but I'm of the opinion that there should be at least a little of commentary on real world issues in fiction. Roger arresting everyone seems a bit strange. He did know that the arena was there and that they were having illegal Riding Duels. Why did he feel the need for that large-scale operation? Was he already planning to get rid of Gallagher? Was he suspecting that Gallagher was becoming unreliable for giving shelter to fugitives that Roger might or might not also consider potential invaders? Is he worried about the Lancers potentially entering Fortune Cup? Is he simply not willing to let criminals who have been broadcast on TV get away as that would make Sector Security look bad and he can't afford to have its reputation questioned? He's surely a real bastard, and he apparently also believes in his own classism. He's not "just doing his job", if his words are of any indication. Also, looking forward to see what happens to Yuya and company, and for more character development for Yuya and Reira. Also, Tsukikage appearing out of nowhere means that Reiji is likely nearby. This is suspicious as hell... he's probably just lying low for now. Or maybe, he has already set his plan in motion. Wouldn't be surprised if he bailed the Lancers out of jail (he still needs them, after all) by bargaining with Roger...[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I think Jean-Michael's reasons for targeting the Lancers is pretty straight-forward. It started with Yugo and Yuzu drawing attention, but getting away. Security then located Serena and Yuya, who look very similar. But in a Duel, it quickly becomes clear that they're something COMPLETELY different. They use an odd Field Spell. They use Action Cards. One uses Fusion Summon. And then Pendulum Summoning. They're not the criminals they were pursuing, but they are DIFFERENT, and he probably wants to know what they're doing and what secrets they have. They get away, though. Then Dennis uses Pendulum Summoning, creating a clear link between him and the mysterious people they had already noticed. Then Dennis Pendulum Summons again in the underground arena, drawing attention to that place, and a clear alternative reason to arrest them: Illegal Duels. But he only went after that place because they're linked to the odd Summoning method. Serena and Sawatari were being followed and unintentionally led the way back to Yuya and co. Also, when Gogenzaka, Dennis, and Shun got arrested, Jean-Michael's looking at a screen with their names on it. Gogenzaka's mentions "Standard Disk". Shun's mentions something about Xyz Summon. Dennis' very noticeably is not being shown to us, whatever is printed is off-screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 If Dennis didn't blatantly show off Pendulum Summoning to the City residents (and he was a blatant showoff since they got there), would that have helped Yuya and the others by not revealing the connection? But yeah, Dennis's disk didn't display the dimension he was from; either he is indeed from Standard like the rest of them, or he originally hails from Fusion and is essentially a spy. Probably the writers didn't include that, so we'd continue to speculate on where his true loyalties lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it did was reveal a connection between Gogenzaka, Dennis, and partially Shun with Yuya, Serena, and Sawatari. I suspect everything on Yuya's end would still have played out the exact same way. Especially since Yuya used Pendulum in his Duel with Crow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Considering Pendulum is technically Yuya's only gimmick (he can Xyz though, so that's not the only thing he's good for), yeah it's inevitable that they'll still find him out and arrest him for whatever reasons. I don't recall any duels when he DIDN'T Pendulum Summon (discounting that one match against Yuzu early on because he didn't know how the Scales worked).

Timeskipper Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 That is, unless JMR knows about the other dimensions. Nothing so far that warrants us thinking that, but it's not completely out of the question. As for why he shut down the arena he very clearly knew about and did nothing about until now, I think that for some reason he couldn't before. Probably Gallagher had some political connection. When he found out that he was sheltering the guys he was looking for, though, he probably had an excuse to shut the place down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Jacket Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Wow. New facility in Arc V has a bunch of bastard people. And has anybody else noticed that lately OEPD doesn't stick around on the field too long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
