Blaze Dragon posted:Go Rush is so silly. Suddenly we get a tutorial about how to have a remote duel in a completely realistic way - except that it's between Earth and space. It even has latency issues. Insane. Isn't The Great King of Terror the name used to refer to some calamity from the sky that Nostradamus predicted would destroy the world in July of 1999?

As expected, the Great King of Terror was indeed Luke’s Go Rush counterpart The Luge (who apparently has never dueled before but still kicked Rovian’s rear end regardless). Things take a turn for the serious as well as Luge proceeds to imprison her in a block of ice after she loses

It's kind of shocking in and of itself. I like how easy-going he is though, freezing everyone who loses against him nonwithstanding. I'm just not sure why his ace is just a shittier Dragias with no effect but the same stats, seems like a step down.

It's very good and very silly, I absolutely recommend catching up. I'm having a blast watching these idiots play card games with other idiots. Just watched this week's episode. So this is clearly not another AU version, right? This is undeniably Yuuga. He even came with Kaizo who is specifically called by name, though the series dances around giving a name to That Guy. I guess it only makes sense for him to finally make an appearance when they're dueling the AU Luke, and he even got his deck back because Yuuna uses the same one. It's really nice seeing him again, even that "it's been a while!" added to Sevens Road Magician's summon chant was cute. Blaze Dragon fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Dec 19, 2022 |

I fell off early because I guess I had my fill of Rush, also because the new ace cards were like 1500 atk normal monsters which I could not abide. Instead i've been getting my card game hit from Shadowverse, which has been extremely good.

Of course the big final duel with The☆Luge would have Yuuga dive in. This is not a bad thing, I'm really excited about this development and what it means about the nature of Go Rush. This show rules.

So apparently Go Rush doesn’t take place in the future of Sevens but rather the distant past. Yuga and Kaizo somehow time travelled by accident and wound up introducing Rush Duels to the world way earlier than they should have been

This last arc of Go Rush was wild, especially this last duel. It had such a strong sense of finality to the Rush series as a whole, with Yuga fighting alongside the Go Rush counterparts of his friends and Yuudias bringing forth everyone with him, that you'd think this was truly the end - if we didn't have a next episode preview. But even so, it's the end of the first part of Go Rush, you could call it the Zwijo Saga with how focused on him as the big bad it was, and it never left me disappointed. Eternal Galactica Oblivion being piloted by all three protagonists with such a cool chant, while Shinkirou plays in the background, and Yuudias and Zwijo talk about the realities of war and Yuudias manages to get his point across that it only leads to sadness? So loving good. Rush Duels as a method for peace and not war pushed way harder than Arc-V ever did and working so much better too. Damamu's happiness at being born, that a duel that was meant to separate war and peace just becomes a way to have fun thanks to Yuuga's, Yuamu's and Yuuhi's efforts to make Damamu come back to life. Everything was just so good. Even the small details like having The Luge, Manabu and Rovian do their original counterparts' chants...god. What an amazing finale, not only this episode but this duel as a whole.

PowerBeard posted:Now I can finally watch it. Has there been any rumblings of what comes next? Yuudias comes back to Earth, Yuuhi and Yuamu are older now, and two new aliens arrive. The new selling point is Maximums, which have not appeared at all in Go Rush yet, with the new characters having Sea Serpents and Yuudias getting a new Magnum Overlord. To go with it, Maximums are getting a crapton of new support and becoming a viable strategy on their own instead of just being the big finish to other decks. Story-wise we know very little, although I imagine Otes' slate and the being that created the Velgerians to battle eternally are absolutely going to come up at some point, since this episode raised them both as very important to Zwijo's crusade and Yuudias' life.

the rush duel era is a real golden age for ygo anime. it isn't burdened with carrying a bloated, overcomplicated card game on its back so it gets to focus more on fun character moments & cool plot beats that aren't 20 episodes apart because of a tournament arc where every duel lasts 2 or 3 episodes. please do not be turned off by the shift in art style, i promise it is worth your time also it's textually queer now instead of just heavily implied by things like yugi's battle city leather n chains outfit and everything to do with jaden in GX

Yeah, I honestly hope they keep the current tone for all future seasons going forward as in my opinion it’s much better this way (the concept of the franchise is inherently ridiculous, embrace it for all it’s worth)

I've never played the game but out of curiosity, how many actual cards do they include in these shows and how many do they just make up wholesale (because some seem like they'd basically be "I win" buttons in a normal duel)? Related, have any previously anime exclusive cards eventually been brought over to the actual game? Larryb fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Mar 27, 2023 |

A little of both, sometimes cards in the anime become real cards with nerfed effects i.e. The Seal of Orichalcos is a real card now but will not take the loser's soul.

It was more common in the earlier animes, but for the most part the cards we see nowadays either are already real or quickly become real. There's still the occasional example of a one-off character getting a cool archetype that never becomes real (still wish Dark Mummies got released), and still sometimes a case of the writers giving a villain some horrendously broken piece of poo poo to add tension to a duel (lookin' at you, Ivy Bind Castle).

That said there are a lot of cards in the game that make some of the 'broken' anime cards seem really tame. Modern Yugioh is usually a 1-3 turn game and things like 'being able to special summon 30+ times in a turn' are on the lower end of the power scale compared to some of the bullshit you get. Not to mention some of the real stall cards that just grind the game to a complete stop where people will sometimes just pass their turns back and forth for 15 turns. You also have an inverse thing where sometimes the card game buffs cards compared to the anime. Or a card that's mediocre in the anime becomes obscene in the card game. guess which one of the Signer Dragons from 5Ds was banned for almost a decade and only recently unbanned due to heavy errata!
