ygo5dsmonth/Week 2024 Day 2 - The New Classic

When it comes to clothes the Dark Signer's robes are my favorites. I love the matching cloaks (with the different outfits for each one underneath) and that the colors are aligning with their Earthbound Gods. They even gave out cloaks to their shadow drones, they're very committed to that style

And I could never leave out Godwin and his stupid, fancy bird shirt

I love thos blues. And the collar

As for more normal, everyday clothes, I think some outfits from the games look really good, like Misaki's here, it got just the right amount of bling

The coolest looking D-Wheel is Giganto L...

... red version

And another thing...

Yuzu has the coolest riding suit (I guess it's technically Rin's though)

A lot of people talk about Dark Signers but honestly so far the Fortune Cup arc (1-26) is one of the most solid openings in a Yugioh series.

The way you're suddenly thrown into the world, shown the contrast between Satellite and Neo Domino City, the disparity, the overall darker atmosphere, the duels on motorbikes...it's just amazing.

I had some issues with the DS arc pacing and some duels were outright terrible but honestly Fortune Cup is a solid wonder from the beginning to the end.

In some ways it feels like a rehash of Duelist Kingdom but it quickly becomes more than that (it's similar with Dark Signers and Battle City btw). It's engaging, every character of the main cast has a moment to shine, it avoids feeling like a generic Monster-of-the-Week format, the animation is generally excellent and engaging (it's a big shock coming from GX's PowerPoint-esque cheap animation).

For some people the world is wonderful, for others it is torn. Many believe that this is based on the environment you grew up to. Whether you had most of the things you wanted and whether you couldn't even afford the basics. However, could there really be someone who believes that and yet, thinks that things can change? Even if they have been abandoned by actual society could they still only know how to make steps forward? After being alone for almost their entire life after so many losses and never ending spits of blood to save the ones of importance? In the end though, there comes a rough time in everyone's life where they have to make a choice. We can follow a path of light full of hope and a long fight with trophy our freedom. We can also follow another path, a one tainted by pure darkness. This choice is one our hero will need to make as well. This is HIS story. A story not about someone who chose light, someone who fell in the dark or someone who chose light through evil means. It is about the tragic one who wanted to follow the light so much that he, eventually, lost it all....

joing my emo band(the dark signers)

[shitpostingkats]

hi i'm not complaining but why is dark signer kalin's outfit kinda yassified??? the fucking crop top and the visible midriff... that certainly was a design decision

I was gonna respond to this with some cool outfit analysis like "Oh well Satellite clothing tends to have heavy punk and grunge influences, so him having off the wall alternative fashion might be a deliberate choice to try and still style himself as a radical freedom fighter" but then I looked again and I AM 90% SURE HE'S JUST WEARING A CROP TOP MADE FROM THE SAME SHIRT HE WORE WHEN HE WAS ALIVE

BRO OWNS ONE SHIRT

ygo5dsmonth/Week 2024 Day 4 - iDuel

Since the prompt is music, I thought we could talk about the visuals in the 5D's openings maybe? So here are my favorite parts, and some things I noticed in general

Opening 1 Kizuna

The beginning with the Signers, Godwin and the dragon marks looks super cool. Too bad I don't like the music that goes along with it, haha. A little Jack and Yusei heavy, but it's alright, at least the side characters get time to shine too

Opening 2 Last Train

It's soooo good, a like practically everything here. The new characters and monsters get presented well, and everyone has some solid screen presence. The coolest parts are the view of the Dark Signers in their lair, Kiryu appearing on his D-Wheel, and the Signers at the end (the Dark Signers look cooler though, sorry fellas)

Only thing that bothers me is how Godwin shows up so little in the opening, he's (barely) more in the ending ffs, and he's the final villain of this arc. I know that was a twisted plot twist and I'm the only one who cares, but still

Opening 3 Freedom

Phew, the opening wastes no time to tell you that this is the Yusei/Jack/Crow show now, Rua, Ruka and Aki get into the back right now! And if you're focusing so heavily on the boys at least let them do something other than standing/driving casually, you're not really hyping me up like this OP. Fun fact: this was the first japanese opeining the german dub decided to leave in, after they started dubbing the 4kids version and did their own synchro

Sherry's face looks fuckin weird in this

Why should I care about the stupid WRGP (You're a grand prick!) again? Sigh, tournaments for the sole sake of getting better at something work better before you save the world from certain doom (but that's a writing problem not an opening problem)

The Majestic/Savior dragons look cool at least, and I like that this sequence kinda mirrors the dragons from Last Train, just in their evolved forms

Opening 4 Believe in Nexus

The villains get to look cool for a hot minute, damn. Although Lucciano is the only one with rollerblades, so him sliding and everything makes sense. The other two...are robots and ignore how uncomfortable this should be

Sherry too? They must feel really sorry for having to remove her from the plot

Ally of Justice monsters, so scary! Isn't that the archetype that only ever had one good monster, a generic synchro? But of course everyone has to be dumbass in this arc and plays light monsters, which Ally of Justice is strong against

Opening 5 Road to Tomorrow-Going My Way!!

This is intense as you can see on the two exclamation marks in the title. At long last the other Signers get to be something other than background filler. Also it's so fuckin funny how Yusei and Crow roll out all their Synchros, even those they don't use anymore

and meanwhile Jack...

I refuse to play anything besides Red Demon's Dragon!!!

Jack: Man, I'm sure gonna miss to have someone to stand on rooftops with, once Arc V rolls arround

Just finished the Dark Signers arc from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds

I'll give a more extended opinion later but I'm just going to say...the series could end right here and I'd say it ended on a very high note.
