Has anybody seen the scans yet? From the title, looks like a Judai v. Sho duel to me.

It'll be really interesting to see whether Sho gets a whole new deck in GX manga like Misawa and Asuka, or keeps his Vehicroids from GX, with a few new additions. Hopefully we'll see more new E-Heroes from Judai, because the recent release of Airman and Ocean in the OCG have been generating great interest, they are both absolutely awesome cards and the rest of them will probably be just as good.

My only real gripe about this is that we have to see Judai duel AGAIN. Not that I'm complaining about Judai dueling that much (I actually love his Manga deck), but isn't it time to give the other characters the spotlight by now? I can understand the first few duels for introductions, but we are into chapter 8, you know. I'd actually have liked a Sho v. Ryo duel to introduce them both at the same time, instead of Judai having to duel both of them. (as he will inevitably duel Ryo, another main character, after Sho)

So, any thoughts? Comments? Discuss

What if the "Two Big Brothers" refers to Shoji and Chosaku? Hmm?


Okay, maybe not. But I think most people are jumping to conclusions here. If this is Ryo's opening chapter, then he'll probably end up dueling Judai... and win. :D

Yeah, but I don't wanna see another duel that involves Judai, even if he does lose....on another topic, has Manjyome dueled yet?

Yup, Manjyome used a Dragon deck.
I kinda like Judai's manga deck too, his fusions are cooler looking (The Earth> Flame Wingman), and even his card-specific support (Earth Gravity) is better than anime stuff like Spark Gun or -ugh- Burst Return.

Lemme direct you to page 6 of the first Chapter:

Take a good look at the monster Sho has. To me, it looks like Gyroid, so I'm saying he still has his Roid deck. Also, maybe it's just me, but I think it'll be a Judai vs. Ryo duel as well (lol, both Episode 8's are Judai/Ryo duels :D ), and will have the same result as the first encounter by Ryo in the anime.

But, that's just me.

Dragons huh? Anyway, I wonder if they'll change Sho or Ryo's decks. They probably won't, but I can still hope!

So far, the manga's shown consistency with the anime cards, but just taking a different direction with them. for example, Judai's E-Heroes aren't exactly superheroes in the manga; they're actually elementals. And Asuka's "Cyber" ladies have a new theme: ice/freezing. And yes, Manjyome did have an "Armed Dragon" in his manga deck, but it was a completely different Armed Dragon with a ompletely different effect (if it even had an effect, I can't quite remember).

So yes, I'm betting Sho still uses Roids, just not the same Roids as the anime. That's one of the best things about the manga, they keep the cards fresh. As for Ryo's deck..... it could still be Cyber Dragon, but with a few new twists. Let's hope so. :D

I'm hoping Sho uses some Manga-only roids, too. They are one of my favorite archetypes, and I plan on building a roid deck after the POTD preview. Even if Sho's manga cards are effectless (or might as well be effectless), we all know Sheiusha will turn them into beastly theme support, with a chance of being released in english. :)

That's right. We ALL love Sheiusha cards :D

I do hope there are some new Roids here. After all, Sho can't be the only one without original cards!!

My money is a duel where Sho is doubting himself in comparision to his brother Ryo and Judai challenges him to a duel to biuld up his confidence and show him how good of a duelist he really is. Ryo will come in at the end saying that Sho lost and doesn't belong here and should just stop now.

Judai will get angry defend Sho and face Ryo next chapter or the one after.

That us my prediction.

It seems Kaiser still uses Cyber End.

So it IS a Judai v. Kaiser duel? Interesting, I gotta see this. Does Kaiser use any new cards?

No. It's Judai Vs. Sho. Kaiser is in some flashbacks. He's seen on a computer screen with Cyber End behind him Kaiba/BEUD -style.

To add onto Lil Yugi's explanation: Sho still uses Vehicroids, but is only shown using a 1500 ATK Tankroid, two support cards, and an unseen card that covers him head-to-toe in armor resembling a Blue Eyes White Dragon. Sho is the manga Valon, lol.

I'm getting a little confused. So it's a Judai v. Sho duel and Sho still uses Roids, but has some new cards? OK... And a card that creates a BEWD-shaped armor? Now that's weird, can't wait to see what it actually looks like.

LOL. An ARMOR Card ? Now that sounds really cool^^.

It's not that suprising if you think about it.

Blue-Eyes is Yu-Gi-Oh!'s mascot. Takahashi even stated it was his favorite in an old interveiw. As long as something is YGO related, you can expect a BEWD to show up somewhere! :{P

Nice, can't wait till I can read this chapter. Hopefully Tankroid will be released with an awesome Roid-supporting effect, like Airman (can't get his awesomeness out of my head!)

I want the Blue Eyes Armor to be realeased. I could walk around with it in my backpack and when I play it I could slip it on and start punching people when I attack like Valon YEAH...

But the drawing was really good especially the attacks, and Chronos back to his expell the drop outs routine is great.
