Alignment Chart memes but it's the YGO GReduX cast

[number-1-kuaidul-fanboy]

I think on rewatch, my favourite part about this wholesome moment is that all three of them go to hug Chronos and ignore Napoleon.

[yugioh-rare-pair-poll]

Round 1: Poll 1

Propaganda under the cut

Pairing 1: Emasculateshipping(Professor Cronos de Medici | Dr. Vellian Crowler/Napoleon | Jean-Louis Bonaparte)

Propaganda: As the Funny European Team Rocket Men of GX, the two are almost too obvious-- not just in how much time they spend together or how much of that time seems a bit too intimate for men who are supposedly just work buddies. The ship, with its participants being based on historical figures (obviously, Napoleon Bonaparte and the Medici family respectively), the ship therefore has a real-world historical precedent of sorts (Napoleon was Italian; two Medici women married into French royalty); the two have similar and compatible priorities (Cronos being first and foremost concerned with his babies-- ahem, *students*, while Napoleon is mostly worried about his own son; the step-father potential in Cronos is Immaculate) and, of course, the ship is very funny-- not in the least because you have two men, one single in his mid-thirties while the other is divorced in his fifties, thereby trying to navigate their relationship like a pair of stupid teenagers. But of course, there is also serious potential in the ship as well. After all, Napoleon's divorce means that he's going to be extremely anxious about screwing up a good thing again, while for Cronos it's a potential red flag that their relationship will end in disaster. The plot of season 3 also gives them both immense pain to work through, after all that they've been helpless as their respective kids suffered. It's easy to overlook them both, especially Napoleon (I promise that's not a joke at the expense of his height, he's just kinda mainly remembered for how he's introduced in season 2 as French Cis Cronos and has little unique character of his own until Martin's introduction), but there's absolutely something to engage with both in the characters themselves and in the interactions between them. Also they literally went on a picnic date while watching Judai duel once they're gay your honor

Pairing 2: Thirdshipping(Saotome Rei | Blair Flannigan/Martin Kanou|Marcel Bonaparte)

Propaganda:  Sometimes love is two weird outcast kids hurting each other and finding peace anyways

Now, let’s keep things civil. This is a silly poll where we can share why we love our overlooked ships. There’s no need to be nasty to prove your point. Bashers will be consumed by Darkness.

I couldn't resist more excuses to draw The Funny European Men

They're probably Scheming but let's be honest this is really just a date and everyone knows that

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX - Duel Box 5: Booklet Lineart 1

- Edo Phoenix (Aster Phoenix) - Tyranno Kenzan (Tyranno Hassleberry) - Napoleon (Jean-Louis Bonaparte) - Saiou Takuma (Sartorius Kumar)

[verybadatcardgames]

I know plenty of people like to daydream about Kaiba Corporation being a cool company to work for and how Seto is a "good billionaire" who would take care of his employees

But there is a whole ass episode in GX dedicated to two men fighting to get hired by Pegasus because it's well known throughout the industry that Industrial Illusions pays their employees more and offers better benefits compared to working for an institution that is founded and owned by Seto Kaiba.

Just putting that out there.

[maripr]

One of the many, many crimes of the 4kids adaptation of Yu-Gi-Oh GX is cutting this shot of Cronos softly smiling at Judai in his duel against Napoleon (when he realizes that Judai did pay attention in class after all)

The rest of his reaction is uncut, but the missing shot adds to the difference in characterization. Even in his better moments, Crowler remains much more of a stuck up asshole who very begrudgingly respects his students and is only brave when his paycheck is on the line.

I do have to wonder how they would have adapted S4 and the thank-you duel.

In Italy we got the first three seasons from the US, but the final season without any censorship from Japan. I can't imagine the whiplash!

GX Finalized-Subs!113 - Translation Check?

So, I've just finished up revising my GX 113 and 114 subs [will be watching them back to quality-check soon], but wanted to ask for some quick input on a line in 113, if anyone wouldn't mind lol; asked over on the NAC Discord since a few other translators are there, and thought I'd ask here for some more eyes since I haven't heard back:

So, as Judai barges into the Principal's office, finding Chronos and Napoleon there, he demands to know why Samejima [said Principal] is gone at a time like [the Dis-Duels causing so many students to pass out that they can't be kept in the Infirmary]; Chronos responds with "そんなことちょちょられテーモ、鮫島校長は出張中ナノーネ…", or what I last had as "I realize how you must feel, but Principal Samejima is away on business, is he not?"

But the "I realize how you must feel" bit was sort of a stand-in for not really getting the first part of Chronos's line before. ちょちょられテーモ/"chochorarete~mo," or "chochoru" as the possible base verb, doesn't come up in a dictionary I use, but a blog post I found seems to connect it to a word that folks around Mt. Fuji in Japan use in their dialect to refer to cats playing with a cat toy/yarn and pulling it close; they mention that, after pulling up "chokkai [ちょっかい/meddling/extending paws to pull something closer]" in a dictionary, it meant the same thing as what they call "chochoru," and in use, "[that word] feels like saying, 'my cat's messing with my phone's charging cord.'" So, going more with the "meddling" meaning, I'm currently thinking of going with "Barging in won't help--Principal Samejima is away on business, is he not?" since Judai barged in and is asking why he's gone; would that be about right? Or would you convey the "chochorarete~mo" differently? I was also thinking that, since it's cute that Chronos--chronic cat hater that he is--is using a phrase used in relation to cats, maybe "pawing around" or some other cat-related phrase that could get that meaning across could work to keep that little touch... 🤔

(For their part, Crunchyroll decided to just do "I can't answer you. Samejima is on a business trip." for their subs 🙃 [and the dub had him offer synonyms for "not here" 🙃])

UPDATE (7/12): As mentioned here, I ultimately opted to go with "you mustn't have kittens" to cover this, lol. Thanks to those who reblogged for visibility!

ITS THE DAY TODAY! The beginning of @ygoc-week and my rapid descent into publicly talking about some of my characters. Or, well, just the one, but it's a step!

So, since I've already blabbed a bit about her, allow me to properly introduce her into the fold! So, for Day 1: Introductions, allow me to present to you all Miss Music herself, Musa Vogel!

:D!! With a funky little ref sheet I tossed up from scraps I had saved. This woman, I stg, she has been rotting my brain for years now and she means so much to me. More of my rambling under the cut vv

I'm just, she,,,, her,,, one of the default responses I had to watching GX again back in like 2019 was "okay seriously where the FUCK are the Ra Yellow women why are they only Blue or Rei-" and as per my usual response to such questions I made an OC

She is one of the top students in Ra during their first year, academic and duelling rivals with Misawa for the top spot. Story-wise, she doesn't necessarily become relevant until second year, after Sho gets promoted and Kenzan is introduced, and hoo boy her introduction. For the narrative I have in my head, Duel Academy still has regular classes amidst all the duelling-focused ones, and it's in this music class Medici is forced to sub in for because Napoleon is ill that she emerges. Medici is so out of touch with the material he's teaching that, after answering and nitpicking several of his questions, he gets fed up and tells her to teach the class "if she's such a musical genius." Well, considering this is quite literally her life's passion, Musa silently stands up, walks to the front of the class, turns everyone to a certain part of their music, and has them play. actually, lemme get the silly written drabble I did for this-

(he wanted to sit with Judai, fyi)

LIKE THIS SHIT IS SO DUMB BUT SO IN LINE WITH GX HUMOUR TO ME??? and she's so silly without even trying, GOD she's very fun, I have so much fun with her, she is quite literally a living statue most of the time and she's so outta touch with the others around her it's amazing to imagine

me with her frfr (also if anyone wants to dm me questions about her and stuff please please PLEASE do I'd be so jazzed to answer and I might doodle a response too she's so fun to draw)

[magpiejay1234]

Now let’s do Sora.

Sora Shiun’in is spelled as 紫雲院 素良. Shiun’in Sora.

紫, shi, means murasaki, but refers to color purple. Much like in Lunalight Purple Butterfly, this color refers to Purple Poison Magician, and Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon (Japanese name: Supreme King Purple Dragon - Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon), and refers to Fusion. For other meanings, check here.

It is also sounds like shi, death, alluding to Death-Toys/Frightfurs, but also specifically to Yami Bakura’s earthbound spirit focused Occult Deck. This is also partially why Fluffals are EARTH Attribute (since shi is similar to chi, EARTH), despite Sora’s name more closely alluding to sky.

雲, un, means cloud, but colloquially can mean heavens, or a high status person. For more meanings, see.

The Kanji can also be spelled as kumo, which is a Yuma Tsukumo allusion, which suggests to me that Sora was originally intended to learn Xyz Summoning some time in the future, but alas.

院, in, is the same as Tenjoin siblings’ surname. It means institution, but here it likely means temple.

I don’t think I need to point out the significance of this.

紫雲, shiun, purple cloud, might also be an allusion to Shien of the Six Samurai (his name means Purple Flame). But Shiun’in means Purple Cloud Temple.

素, so, means basic, plain. But in cooking, it can mean essence as in flavouring/seasoning, and in mathematics it can mean prime.

良, ra, means good, but in school marking it means B. This Kanji can also be read as Ryou, as in Ryou Bakura, or Ryou Marufuji. The first allusion is the more intended one, most likely.

So his name means Purple Cloud Temple Plain Good.

Other notes:

**Sora can collectively mean sky, as every Kingdom Hearts fan knows. This ties into his un Kanji.

***It is unclear if this is for Tenjoin siblings allusion, Fluffal allusion, or En Moon allusion.

***It MIGHT because of Shun’s name (meaning falcon), and Edo’s surname, phoenix.

**素, so, kanji is used in some botany terms as a compound, but is also similar to music playing Kanji in Melodious. This, combined with the shi Kanji, gives a strong allusion to En Flowers, similar to Gongenzaka’s, and Sawatari’s names.

***Music playing allusion here is for his marching band theming, which is a reference to Martin Kanou, and Head Teacher Napoleon from GX.

***Same marching band theming is also used for Yuma’s Djinns. Another Xyz allusion.

The principal in GX is so bad he makes Napoleon look competent in season 3.

Also they literally went on a picnic date while watching Judai duel once they're gay your honor

Pairing 2: Tomorrowshipping(Tenjouin Asuka | Alexis Rhodes/Jim Crocodile Cook)

Propaganda: They complete each other! Jim’s focus on the past vs Asuka’s focus on the future, Jim’s nature theming vs Asuka’s technology theming, the way their attitudes complement one another. Not to mention “Tomorrow Girl,” the cutest nickname in the world.

Now, let’s keep things civil. This is a silly poll where we can share why we love our overlooked ships. There’s no need to be nasty to prove your point.  Bashers will be consumed by darkness.

Ooh, we’re in danger... ♥

My piece for the YGO Rare Pair Mini-Bang on Twitter! Who’s surprised to see this ship from me. Again. lmfao

Listen I am going to forcibly shove as much of this ship into the GX fandom as I possibly can and No One Can Stop Me

(Also fun fact: I’ve had this done since like. November)

Accompanying AMV (which I made in the interim waiting for the claims to happen) and fic (which was inspired by both) will be linked to when they’re up in a reblog!
