c-can we agree on sora vs kurosaki as the best in the series then? rannyu penaruti TCHINTCHINTCHING and KAIHI are the trademark of arc v, pendulums are a second(third?) thought to the writing after these, if we go there, we might never come back. (speaking of action cards, i got so frustrated that the bad action cards never appeared again after the sawatari duel, i kept waiting for the day someone would mess up by taking one of them)

Oh we can absolutely agree on that. Sora and Shun were some of the best supporting cast. Seeing them finally clash was so satisfying.

I almost forgot about the action cards... most series have some kind of gimmick that's not accepted in regular duels, and among them action cards are kind of hamfisted gameplay-wise, but they're so fun to watch!! Yeah, I wanna see the characters run through an obstacle course to possibly turn around the match!

They did try hard to make the duel environments interesting. The areas are really what make or break a lot of iconic YGO duels -- Heartland, Duelist Kingdom, and the Lancers qualifiers come to mind, among many, many others. Arc-V's environments were particularly colorful and made the whole show stronger. Maybe that's just cause I don't have a good memory for the gameplay itself, but in theory the show should be accessible to people who don't play.

Meaaaanwhile the most interesting we got in office-building-land was that one time Yusaku got tied up in an abandoned church. Which was pretty exciting at the time, admittedly, but they never got close to that for the rest of the show's run...
