GX episode 38?

[MokeMokeMaster]

Well, the Taniya episodes are done, and it seems some people can't be satisfied, no matter how awesome a duelist is...too much hype, i suppose.

In any case, i guess it's time to begin talking about the atlantis episode. I look forward to it, being an atlantis duelist myself, >.> but why the blazes did the guy juudai's facing have to use the orca? there are other monsters that benefit better, but meh, whatever, i guess..at least we'll get to see Daedalus; of course, it'd be even more awesome if we got to see Neo-daedalus,lol

In addition, it seems to me..the submarine guy, i can't remember his name, looks like a combination between Vance McMadd of Ultimate Muscle, and the Skipper from Gilligan's Island...lol, Gilligan's Island..always a classic.

anyways, thoughts, comments, discussion..?

[Snodin]

Yes, I'm starting to see a trend here; both Water duelists in the YGO universe that we've seen are both sea-farring fishermen. What, do we HAVE to have an obsession for fish to be able to use Water decks? I feel a bit offended... but meh.

Leviadragon's one of my personal favorite monsters, so this WILL be a treat for me, whether we see Neo-Daedalus or not.

[BlackChaosDemon]

Hey guys, ironic I'm talking to both of you...


Anyways, I must have more. There isn't enough of Water Duelist to go around, if there is Daedalus I'm pleased, if not I'm going to go and cry. If Neo-Dae Dae shows, I'm ever more pleased than the average viewer.

[Ryusaki]

I was kinda hoping for Ancais to be cool looking but he's some fisherman with a big 'A' stamped on his hat. At least his deck should be interesting.

[KuroKarasu]

Yeah, every Sea duelist in the anime seems to be obsessed with anything nautical. It'll be spiffy to see a duel underwater, though. :D

[MetallicPyreal]

Anacis looks ******ed, but his deck should be cool. I still want to see Abidos. How could they mess him up?

[Kaiba816]

It looks awesome. I hope he uses Neo, though the whale-thing (forget name) is cool too.

What happened to their voices? He switch them with the mic or something? I was confused at that part.

[Oracle of Dreams]

Well since Taniya was a letdown, I'm hoping Ancais isn't. They have crapped up his character design, but hopefully his deck will make up for it.

[I Love Manzuri]

Excluding the two WATER-using duelists in the Memory Saga...

Gah, this duel seems rather pointless, so, I'll just have to see it for its plot. Bleh, using Orca Mega Fortress, kinda lame. Flame Wingman + Skyscraper = pwnage :-/

Levia'll be cool though.

[TkMacintosh]

sorry about this, if you can mods please delete this post?

I messed up >.> ^^' :o

[TkMacintosh]

I think we might be seeing that new bubbleman fusion, we see it in the ending or beginning credits (don't know which one though >.>)


Sorry if I'm rambling, but I think it'll be good duel, besides the usual Judai wins >.>

That's a Bubbleman fusion? I KNEW there was something funny-looking about that Bubbleman!

But what is it a fusion of? It looks maybe like Bubbleman and E Kids, or, maybe Wildman and Bubbleman? ^^ <3 :D

Water duelists in the Memory Arc? I don't think so...please elaborate. Pharaoh's Memory is all Egyptian/Mythology stuff, no real dueling except for Bakura VS Kaiba and Bakura VS Yugi.

[OO1O1OO11O1O]

Along with Neo, I would like to see Tribe-Infecting Virus in play.

[Xier6]

Yeah to finally see what it looks like.

[I Love Manzuri]

Water duelists in the Memory Arc? I don't think so...please elaborate. Pharaoh's Memory is all Egyptian/Mythology stuff, no real dueling except for Bakura VS Kaiba and Bakura VS Yugi.

Sorry, I don't remember what the Noah saga is known as....

[MetalYugi23]

well it is known as the big five series-kinda, the noah arc-mainly, and that time in between battlecity and the finals-for people who didn't like it. :D

[Anon e Mouse Jr.]

Yeah, every Sea duelist in the anime seems to be obsessed with anything nautical. It'll be spiffy to see a duel underwater, though. :D

Not quite... it was mentioned earlier in the thread at this point, but there's one Water Duelist in the Virtual Arc: Crump, the Penguin Duelist. He isn't obsessed with the sea like Mako and Anacis - just penguins.

Gansley of the Big Five also uses a few big Water monsters, but his deck is more of a Weenie Swarm/Effect deck. It wasn't until the Big Five teamed up that he used some decent Water cards - A Legendary Ocean and Legendary Fisherman. They switched over to Crump before using Catapault Turtle, the last water monster of the duel.

[Ryo_Marufuji]

okay just for some news info...

my download source isn't working so i will have to use the other.. this means that my summary (as me and king take turns) will come a little later....

so please do not take a summary from Janime and post it here.. let us do our jobs please..

also this episode looks well ehhh doens't really interest me.. but then again it could be very cool.. i do have a weakness for Water Decks..

~Kaiser~

[Kaiba816]

Where do you guys watch GX? I watch it on Nebs.tk.

Anracis looks awesome though.

Again, did the mic change their voices or something?

[I Love Manzuri]

Ssh! They *points up* are watching!

[MetalYugi23]

me too, but by the time I watch it I already know what happens and have seen screens on Janime, Pojo is for cards, Janime is for Anime :D

[Asuka Tenjoin]

It's nice to see someone took over summarizing in my absence, lol. :p

I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out... I don't expect too much because of Orca (reaaaally bad choice and makes Neo Daedalus even more unlikely), but it could be interesting. Maybe he uses Abyss Soldier! :)

[MetalYugi23]

well, we know he uses the normal 2600 atk Daedulus, so ya never know, Ocean Lord could show up, and this is probably when the new bubbleman fusion will show up. In the intro u see a tall bubbleman w/fins, it is probably a fusion with Featherman.

[Ryo_Marufuji]

ahh Asuka back I see it has been a while... good to have you

and yes they are watching..

~Kaiser~

[Orichalcos]

Hmmm mediocre duel. I'm a bit mixed about it, am going to go watch it again just to decide whether I like it or not.

Will leave the summary to you Kaiser, as I believe you didnt want them bringing over from other sites? Correct?

Im going to go get a McD's so I'll be back in half hour ish, hopefully someone else will have seen it so I can discuss it with them!!!!

~Ori

[Ryusaki]

Orichalcos, tell me one thing: Did they use that awesome music from when Kaibaman summoned BEUD in ep 34?

afterwards regardless.

[Oracle of Dreams]

I actually liked this episode. The animation seemed above par and Anacis didn't annoy me at all, surprisingly. I liked seeing all of the water cards and the Orca cards are some of my favorites. Maybe this was a personal bias kicking in, but I thought it was one of the better episodes as of recently.

[Manjyome Thunder]

So Judai Morphed something into Bubbleman Neo? Wonder what the other fusion material was.

[Duzell]

Maybe it was neo the magic swordsman XD

[Horoko]

Bubbleman morphed into Bubbleman Neo.

[Duzell]

we know hes just wondering that the other fusion material for bubbleman neo was, even thoughit wasnt fusionsummoned

[Manjyome Thunder]

Bubbleman morphed into Bubbleman Neo.

yeah but what is the other part of the fusion for Bubbleman Neo? You know fusions do require to have two or more fusion materials when it wants to be fusion summoned.

[Horoko]

Didn't understand it. My bad.

[Asuka Tenjoin]

I don't think they said what the other component was... I have a theory given the name that maybe (and this is a stretch) it may be a fusion of Bubbleman + Bubbleman? I can't think of any monster that would give fins to Bubbleman, and it would explain why it's the only E-Hero fusion to keep the name of a component monster.

Also, I liked the duel myself. It was short but reasonably well-played, although I really wish they'd make a habit of long duels. They're always better than short three or four turn ones. By any chance, does anyone know what Sho was so upset about?

[MetalYugi23]

maybe featherman, you know feather for the air, fin for the sea, but we probably will never find out unless it is released.

[Nobody]

Sounds like a good theory because the name usually tells you the components of the monster esp. [E-Hero]'s.

[I Love Manzuri]

maybe featherman, you know feather for the air, fin for the sea, but we probably will never find out unless it is released.

That could be, it's just rather doubtful considering Tempester uses F and B.

[Manjyome Thunder]

If it was a fusion of two bubbleman they should have called it "E-Hero Double Bubbleman". Try saying that 10 times fast.

[magnumcyclonex]

The episode was pretty good. I can't wait for CRV to hit the U.S. We'll all be doing godly topdecks like Jyuudai did with Bubbleman and Pot of Greed.

I had hoped for a more dramatic destruction effect by Levia Drgon - Daedalus. He IS the 2nd most powerful Water monster in the game. Something like a giant whirlpool as Atlantis gets destroyed would've been better...not a simple explosion.

Anyways, I quite liked the amount of OCG product ads scattered in this episode. Haven't seen those in a while.

[I Love Manzuri]

Well, we got this new info, but, umm, summary yet?

[Asuka Tenjoin]

I don't know if this is too presumptuous of me since you guys do the summaries now, but if it is I'll refrain from doing another. As is, I have nothing particular to do and I'd like to help out, so here's the best I can come up with.

The duel begins with Judai drawing and playing E-Hero Wildman in face-down defense. He ends his turn.

Anacis (who is what I understand from translations is true is one of the creepiest YGO characters EVER :eek: ) draws and plays A Legendary Ocean, which freaks Judai out because the field puts them underwater and he thinks he's drowning. :p Anacis summons Orca Mega - Fortress of Darkness (whose level is reduced to 4 by ALO), boosting the monster's ATK to 2300 and destroying Wildman. Anacis sets a card and ends his turn.

Judai draws and plays Featherman in defense, still on guard. He sets a card and ends his turn.

Anacis draws and activates his trap, which from what I understand thanks to Horoko's translation allows him to Normal Summon any number of monsters as long as their total level is equal to 3. He selects one Cannonball Spear Shellfish and one Torpedo Fish, as ALO reduces their levels to 1 and 2 respectively. A little math lesson flashes onscreen thanks to Misawa, lol. He tributes the Shellfish to destroy Judai's set card (which looked to me like Dimensional Tunnel Mirror Gate) and the Torpedo Fish to destroy Featherman, then attacks directly with Orca (Judai LP: 1700). He ends his turn.

Judai draws and plays Polymerization to combine E-Heros Clayman and Sparkman into E-Hero Thunder Giant, using its effect to destroy Orca Mega. He then returns the favor from last turn and attacks Anacis directly (Anacis LP: 1600). He sets two cards and ends his turn.

Anacis draws and plays The Shallow Grave, choosing to revive Orca Mega in defense while Judai selects Clayman. It doesn't really matter though, because Anacis tributes Orca for Levia Dragon - Daedalus, then tributes Umi in order to fuel Levia Dragon's effect. He nukes the field and prepares to attack Judai for the win. But he isn't prepared for Stock Judai Tactic #17 - The Emergency Provisions save! He tributes a trap I couldn't identify (though for some reason I tend to assume everytime a Judai trap is destroyed without working it's Draining Shield, lol) for Provisions to boost his LP (J LP: 2700), allowing him to barely survive Levia Dragon's breath attack (J LP: 100). Anacis ends his turn confidently.

Judai rolls to his feet after the attack and draws as the victory song kicks in. He special summons E-Hero Bubbleman, drawing two cards - Bubble Shot and and Pot of Greed. He then plays Pot of Greed, and immediately plays his newly drawn The Warrior Returning Alive, recovering Sparkman from his Graveyard and normal summoning it in attack. But he got another card too and he uses it on Bubbleman - Metamorphosis allows him to tribute Bubbleman in order to special summon E-Hero Bubbleman Neo from his fusion deck. Exact same stats, but also a similar enough name that he can be equipped with Bubble Shot, doubling his attack to 1600. Judai attacks Levia Dragon with the equipped Bubbleman Neo, and Bubble Shot is destroyed to keep the fusion alive. Anacis bursts out laughing, but Judai explains Neo's new effect - it was in battle with Levia, so Levia somewhat anti-climatically explodes (Kaibacorp is REALLY skimping on hologram effects nowadays, all the destruction effects just cause generic explosions lol). Anacis has nothing on his field as Sparkman attacks him directly for the win (Anacis LP: 0).

It was an interesting if short duel, but we never do find out how Bubbleman Neo is fused. It'd be nice to see it again some day.

[obesatron omega]

where do u go to see a episode of gX?

[Ryo_Marufuji]

unfortunatley we can't tell you it's illlegal and Pojo doesn't allow it... anyway.. Asuka-Kun you may feel free to do a summary any time you want... it's fine as long as it isn't ripped from Janime.. as we like to do it ourselves here..
but yeah the music in this episode got really really annoying.. otherwise it was a nice little filler nothing special...

~Kaiser~

[Asuka Tenjoin]

Thank you very much, I was a bit concerned I might be intruding. I just wanted to help out since no one was on. :o

I'm looking forward to hearing the music they play in the Assassin duels again, that dramatic song is very nice. This was a pretty good filler duel though... If nothing else it was a pleasant surprise to see Judai wasn't strictly devoted to legitimate Fusion, I figured he'd only use the legitimate methods and not a sideways fusion tactic like Meta.

[Duzell]

Don Zaloog looked a bit fruity in that Sherlock outfit.

[kingofgames3]

Asuka: Thanks. Hmm, the trap he destroyed through Emergency Rations was named Life Insurance. Juudai used it in Episode 33.

Life Insurance
Trap Card
When this card is returned from the field to the hand by a Magic or Trap while set, increse your life points by 500.

[OliverPhoenix]

It was a ok episode and it was interesting to see Metamorph played but seriously I was far to interested in the adverts,I got to see clearer pictures of Silent magician yay...only have to wait intill 21st July now to get my preorder copy : ) .

Also shame they didn't show the Wilderness warrior girl art close up a lot better and didn't have the damn card infront of it,I would of loved to have seen the art really big close up rather than just looking at the card...

[Ryusaki]

I'm suprised Ancais didn't attract Duelist Academia's chavs. They'd sell their mothers for the bling on his duel disk.

[Anon e Mouse Jr.]

<snip>It was an interesting if short duel, but we never do find out how Bubbleman Neo is fused. It'd be nice to see it again some day.

If that final shot from the end credits is anything to go by, it's probably a Hero Kids. The final shot has:

Shining Flare Wingman (Featherman, Burst Lady, and Sparkman)
Wild Jaggyman (Wildman and Edgeman)
Necro Darkman
Bubbleman Neo
Two Hero Kids

The only Heroes missing are his third Hero Kids and Clayman. We know that Clayman and Bubbleman fuse into Mudballman. Ergo, the last monster, his third Hero Kids, is most likely the one that's fused with Bubbleman for Bubbleman Neo.

[I Love Manzuri]

(though for some reason I tend to assume everytime a Judai trap is destroyed without working it's Draining Shield, lol)

Perhaps because Chronos destroyed it in episode 1 and Ryo destroyed an unrevealed trap card in episode 8?

Of course, he also has Insurance, Mirror Force, Hero Barrier, Hero Signal, Miracle Kids, Clay Charge, Feather Wind, Dimension Gate Tunnel, Super Junior Confrontation, um, I think that's all for unchainable traps...

XD

Thanks for the summary, I love how GX perfectly sets up the Life Points.

And, as to your inquiry on Neo Bubbleman, it's clear Neo Bubbleman is treated as [E-HERO Bubbleman] if he can be equipped with Bubble Shot.

[Horoko]

It's because his name is "Bubbleman Neo" not "Neo Bubbleman" When Equipped it is technically [E-HERO Bubbleman] because the Neo is at the end of his name, not the front.

[Ryo_Marufuji]

i just had an off thought not pertaining to this episode.. hehe but what if that one shoadow of the Seven Stars isn't Daitokuji (even though it's obvious he's evil)
what if it is Kunisaki? from epsiode 20?

i mean it makes almost perfect sense. . he has the same build, and was probably snooping around to look for the Legendary Demons.. if Titan doesn't tell you, anyone who has anything to do with the Haunted Dorm has to do with the 7 Stars.. also he knew who Fubuki was... hmmm...so i peg him now over my first thought of Daito sensei

~Kaiser~

[Lord of Blue-Eyes]

I do not know about everyone else but I am getting extremely annoyed with Judai's perpetual duels. Seriously, Judai's duel ratio for the first 38 episodes (not counting incomplete duels) is rounded to 77.419354838709678% where as Manjyoume who duels the most after Judai is only rounded to 19.35483870967742%.

This means that Judai duels over 58% more than any other character on GX. No wonder people get tired of him!

This is sad because Judai is a pretty cool character, but he is shown so much that many people just get sick of him. :(


Somewhat on topic: If Anacis is rich enough to cover his duel disk in jewels, you would think he would be able to afford some plastic surgery. :p

[Asuka Tenjoin]

I've learned to accept it, since the show HAS gotten better lately. I mean in the last 10 episodes only... well, 6 of them have been Judai duels. That's progress, even if it's not much. Seeing Ryo, Manjyome, Chronos, and Misawa duel to space out the Judai ones has been nice.

And just look at the next bunch of episodes. Manjyome duels next week, then... well, looks like Judai beats his fourth Assassin in a row. But then Asuka duels (Yay! :) ) and even sounds like she beats an Assassin in one episode that Judai originally took two episodes to beat! And she gets another duel two episodes later! And the episode after that sounds like both Asuka and Manjyome duel. It's definitely evolving.

I honestly do hope they kick the Judai reliance though, because that IS getting ridiculous. There was no point whatsoever in giving keys to 7 people to combat 7 Assassins if Judai's beaten 4 of the 5 that have appeared so far. But it sounds like they're going to have Judai beat nearly all of them anyway. Ryo, Chronos, and Misawa are already out, and Manjyome AND Asuka both sound like they lose to the same guy in 44... so that leaves Judai to fight the last two Assassins, for an utterly ridiculous 6/7. At least they let Asuka get her revenge against one of them, but still, cripes.

[HalHornCorSec]

Somewhat on topic: If Anacis is rich enough to cover his duel disk in jewels, you would think he would be able to afford some plastic surgery. :p
Already got it. He was once a famous black singer, one of a five-sibling group, but decided he'd rather be a rich white sea captain. He also put on tons of weight and decided his nose didn't need to fall off anytime soon.

As for the issue of Judai over-dueling: well, I prefer a bunch of 3 to 6 episode long duels for my main character myself--preferably several times a season, too.

Yub, yub.

[Ryusaki]

What was it Ancais and his crew kept saying that made everyone fall over? Ancais was making suspicious hand movements...

[Horoko]

The first time, it was because of all of the lights going out in the dome. Misawa thought that if it wasn't a Duel of Darkness, why did all the lights go out. One of Anacis's crew men came up saying they fixed the problem and that is why they all fell.

[Snodin]

So Anacis isn't one of the seven stars? Or is he? I'm confused. It almost seemed like a frienly duel to me, except Juudai seemed to have escaped the sub looking beaten up. I dunno, that puzzles me.


And being a water duelist, you'd think I'd be more fancied with this episode. Well, I wasn't. Orca and its associates are just too chancy to play, and the fact that Anacis got them all out in just 2 turns shows that he's cheating. :-P

In short, I wish this duel went on just a little longer so I can see more, much cooler water monsters.

And I agree that Levia's effect was done poorly; I'd like to see him literally swallow the whole field like a giant vaccum cleaner.

It probably would have been just as cool to see Neo-Deadalus.

[KuroKarasu]

Anacis has been considered a sort of pedophile on Janime's board; according to someone else's summary, Judai's the "treasure" of Duelist Academia. No, he isn't one of the Seven Stars. Levia-Dragon's effect could've at least been a tidal wave or something, too, a la the Leviathan from Duelist Kingdom.

On another note...Arr, that Duel Disk looks to be fine booty be those gems not rhinestones! Seriously, it would make jewelers jealous...or pissed off, 'cause dueling might hurt such fine specimens!

Oh, and yay for Black Scorpions next ep! A whip can be a very handy tool indeed. ^.^

[TheBebop]

I wanna see Manjyome Thunder!!!!!!! 's latest deck (Armed Dragon + ojama hybrid). I may think in building this deck, if he sticks with it. If im not wrong, everytime he dueled he has changed or acquired a new deck, i hope he decides on keeping this one.
