GX Manga Chapter 10 ~ The Meeting of Destiny

Asuka Tenjoin · 09-22-2006, 11:19 AM

Otherwise known as "Maybe our main character needs a history after 2 years either on air or in print..."

This chapter seems to open not with a duel, but with the revelation that Professor Hibiki, the Osiris Red dorm head, has a past with a kindly Red duelist or professor who may have entrusted Judai with his deck... This interests me greatly so I wanted to put up a topic to discuss it when the chapter is put up today.

So Judai is getting some backstory? FINALLY. I just love how quick it took the GX manga to give Judai something while "ahem" the Anime has given him little to no backstory as of yet.

So we learn more about Hibiki (whom I may just have fallen in love with, she's very hot for an anime character, lol.) and this mysterious guy?

I wonder who he is and what he was to Judai?!

Wholly crapolla, a FEMALE CHARACTER THAT'S NOT ASUKA!!!

'Bout time we had more of those. And what's cooler is that she's the head of Red! w00t!!! (Or is she?)

And yeah, Judai's past. 'Bout friggin' time for that too. I was thinking we were gonna get Sho's middle name before we got THAT. XD

G3-0R-G3 · 09-22-2006, 11:33 AM

I wonder if the manga will completely change the fact that he met Yugi and such so that it never happened....

Her position was given last chapter as "Osiris Red 1st Year Homeroom Teacher Hibiki," and you can tell by the hue of her uniform that she is wearing a red coat. She appears to be considered the head of the dorm, as she was the one grading their exams and submitting them for records. She is, in fact, the second female character introduced in the GX manga. Before that, the uninterested Asuka was challenged for the title of Miss Academia by the vain Mary Sue beauty queen, Seika Kohinata. Asuka won the title against her wishes, lol.

Awesome, a female dorm head. She looks like the type that would throw a crazy party with her students complete with lots a sake, lol. Daito was written out eh? Poor lad, it seems that all of the anime storylines are not going to be in the manga (which is very good, lol) so stuff like Manjyome Thunder and stuff won't be in here.

I'm liking this manga more and more!

I can't wait. A duel-less chapter? Unlikely, but...

Also, all pray that Judai's manga heroes don't get TCG names before Viz publishes the GX manga in English. That way they'll keep their names (hopefully).

I am still scared that the characters themselves will be dub named, lol. I wish for at least 1 incarnation of GX to survive in the US with names that don't sound like 4Kids scrounged a list of rejected Harry Potter names out of Ms. Rowling's trash... I already have one prediction, however.

E-Hero Airman <-> Elemental Hero Aerial

Same here, I really hate the GX dubbed names, and although we have a somewhat pure version of the original (Maximillion Pegasus? wth?) GX may get a forced namechange or something. I could honestly seeing a travesty such as that occuring, seeing as where Konami and UDE want to target GX.

I'm confident that Viz will keep the character names, at least. They usually do.

And here's another predicted TCG name:E-Hero The Earth - E-Hero Terra.

Gaia Dude, lol. At least Abyss should keep his name. Its fairly un-generic, I guess.

You are both assuming that 4Kids and Konami think that the U.S audience cancomprehend that other countries and cultures exist, lol. I envision this at the end of Chapter 1 in Shonen Jump...

"I throw out Pacific Dude and Forest Ranger to summon my sweet Elemental Hero America!"

Destiny Hero Jihad Dude has something to say to that hero.

Not when E-Hero America uses its super power to Draft other heroes, lol. God, this seems entirely too likely to joke about.

Didn't the manga keep the fact that Yugi gave him Winged Kuriboh?

Lol, I am sorry I was only trying to be helpful. I am also happy about Professor Hibiki... I have wanted girls in Osiris Red since Turn 1 of the anime (if you have ever seen fanart or icons of a Red girls uniform it is more flattering and very pretty imo), and for it to gain a female dorm head in the manga and a potential female student in the anime within a month of eachother is a dream come true!

G3-0R-G3 · 09-22-2006, 12:37 PM

I wonder if Hibiki is the wife or girlfriend of that mystery guy. From the 2 scans we have it looks like she has a picture of him with a trophy on her desk, which gives the feeling that he was a very good duelist and that she has some kind of close relationship with him. How does Judai tie into all this? I really can't wait to find out.

Judai backstory of any kind gets me all fired up!

JLewko · 09-22-2006, 02:22 PM

WTH? Judai backstory? Impossible! (In a good way, of course.

)

Too bad Daitokuji isn't in this. He would have looked pretty cool in manga form. Well, at least Chronos survived the media transition, and Kabayama...well, no one even remembers who he is. Poor Curry Kamen...

Sword_Stalker · 09-22-2006, 02:44 PM

lets all hope konami doesn't think kids read. that way we can all make this the bloodiest backstory ever. jaden with a chainsaw^_^

lol.... That takes me back to Young Frankenstein:

"Then that means you... and Victor... were-"

"YES! YES! Say it! He was my... BOYFRIEND!"

LOL!!!

This is fun.....anyway, looks like an awesome chapter. It'll be going 10 for 10. I'm betting the mystery man is some relation to Judai OR Manjyome.

Yūgi's Black Magician · 09-22-2006, 07:19 PM

Wait so the chapter isn't officially out yet??

Hmm...I wonder how strong a duelist this mentor of Jūdai's was?

I wonder what happened to him too. *Glances at Abandoned Dorm*
