There's a theory that Konami waited so long to give Performage support because of the sins of PePe. Do you think it's possible? And if so, are there any other decks that you think are similarly on probation?

It seems plausible? We haven't gotten any support for the Deck since Mirror Conductor and Plushfire were printed, as Plushfire is when the Deck heavily integrated with combos with Performapal monsters to make a ridiculously strong Pendulum focused Deck that spits out Rank 4 Xyz very quickly.

And we didn't get any new cards for the theme for basically a decade, so there was some sort of unspoken rule to not print cards for them.

Uh. Tearlaments and the Ishizu remakes are likely on probation?

Dragon Rulers were on 'probation' for the longest time as well.

Also, probably Kozmo, which has not gotten any direct support since the Kozmojo wave.

Oh, Melodious was on 'probation' as well, due to Aria Lock creating gamestates Konami seemingly did not like at all.

In Duel Links, I got a new Dennis event and also unlocked him!

Dennis: Shay... Shay: You're... Dennis! [flashback] Melissa Trail: There's only one high-flyin' monster on the field now - and it's not Trapeze Magician! Shay: Drop the facade, Dennis! I'm going to show everyone the true you! When Trapeze Magician leaves the field, Target Flag lets me see what you're hiding in your hand! It's time for the real Dennis to now be revealed! Dennis: Is this what you wanted to see? [shows Polymerization] Shay: I knew it! Only Duelists from a certain dimension use that card! Dennis: Now that the cat's out of the bag, I can hit you with everything I've got! I Fusion Summon! The ground shaking Chaos Ancient Gear Giant! Bet you never saw that coming, right!? Thanks to you, I can now let loose as I have nothing left to hide! These potholes are wreaking havoc on my game! If I drive over one more bump I'm gonna lose my mind! Shay: Even if you suffer, it won't make up for the pain you caused. But I'll get to reap my revenge! For all the victims you hunted down - this is payback! Vengeful Vengeance! Dennis: Ahhhhhh! [end flashback] Shay: After everything you did to trick the Lancers, what does Duel Academy want with me now? Dennis: I just...wanted to apologize to you. And the Lancers. Actually, not just the Lancers - but to everyone. It's my fault that this world stopped smiling. Shay: Apologize!? It's too late for that! You think that'll make up for everything that you've done? Dennis: Of course not. Nothing I do can change the past. But if I can make Heartland City and the Xyz Dimension smile again, I have to try! I know not everyone will accept me...but it's the least I can do. Shay: If you really feel that way...Then battle me! You want to make everyone laugh again? Then why don't you start with me! Dennis: Okay! Why not start with the toughest! My Dueltaining will turn your frown upside down!

Dennis: No matter how many times I apologize, I can't undo what I've already done. That's a reality I have to accept. But I can't allow what i did to cause kids to stop smiling forever! With my Dueltaining, I know I can make them laugh again! That's the least I can do to make up for my past! The show must always go on! Direct your eyes to the skies as I present to you a swinging star performer! Xyz Summon! Rank 4 Performage Trapeze Magician! Trapeze Magician and I are here to make you smile ear-to-ear year after year! It's showtime!

Last week in Animation Chronicle: We almost got the whole set revealed with the reveal of the new Performage cards! 8 new cards is somehow not even half of the Performages that were stuck in the anime. Still most of the important ones, though, including their Fusion and two new Xyzes!

We also got a new Earthbound card, the last Earthbound Immortal. With all of this in one week, we've only got one more new card left to reveal, and we might even get it as early as tonight!

Silly card game where I can play whatever I wish vs. your deck is a culmination of your soul for your opponent to have dialogue with to produce a greater understanding between you and your opponent, fight!!

[glovedghosts]

A few of those were just me copying yu-gi-oh cards, only posting this one cuz I think I at least did something interesting with the lettering

[thatoneredditto13]

Uh...I love Speedroids since it was the first real deck I made in Master Duel...

But I've been playing Raidraptors in Duel Links and I've been loving them a lot more as well...

So it's probably one of those two.

Day 23: Back At Class, They Never Taught A Thing @arcvmonth

Out of all of the Academia characters, Dennis is by far my favorite one. I thought that he had a really good and memorable debut and his personality really shined through too. His deck was pretty cool as well. It's so interesting to me that Arc V had two undercover Academia spies and both of them turned out to be so drastically different from each other. It didn't take long to confirm that Dennis was from Academia. I remember the theory that Dennis was really Yuri in disguise because of having Polymerization in his deck. It lasted only a week, but it was a fun theory, even if it made no sense. The fact that the audience knew about Dennis being a spy way before any of the characters did provided some buildup to the reveal in his second match with Shun. It was still pretty intense to see Dennis' cheerful and upbeat personality disappear as soon as Trapeze Magician was destroyed and he summoned the giant Ancient Gear Golem.

One detail about Dennis' time in Heartland always stood out to me. He told Shun that he wanted to keep performing, but once he found Ruri, he didn't have any other choice. He had to fulfill his mission to Academia. While it was still a mask for his uncover mission, Dennis clearly loved being an entertainer, to the point where that became his true self. He never fit the role of a duel solider like did as a performer. But despite how much he wanted to keep performing, Dennis still completed his mission. Granted, it may not have changed much of anything in the grand scheme of things if he never told them about Ruri. If Dennis wasn't the one to signal the start of the invasion, then it probably would have been another Academia soldier. Leo had been spending years planing for this invasion, so it was going to happen regardless of what Dennis did, but the point is that he didn't have the courage to make that choice for himself. He felt too obligated by his loyalty to Academia to even consider just staying in Heartland as an Entertainment Duelist. Despite going all out with his Academia cards, he couldn't defeat Shun, which is a big deal for Academia students who are taught to look down on Xyz users and enjoy hunting them as if it was all a game.

I really liked Dennis vs. Kaito. Dennis's Performage monsters have pretty cool designs and I really like Arc V Kaito's Cipher monsters, so getting to see them duel each other was fun. The most memorable part of the match was definitely the ending though. Dennis and Kaito were able to put on a performance that entertained the people around them. Yusho could recognize how much Dennis loved to perform and offered him the chance to join their fight against Academia, but once again, Dennis believed that he didn't have any choice. He already burned that bridge with the Lancers and believed that they wouldn't accept him back. Not just because of his reveal of being with Academia, but when he was set back after losing to Shun, Dennis provided them with information on the Lancers. He's the reason why Leo has his own Pendulum cards. They could have potentially learned about it from Sora when he first arrived back at Academia, but Dennis actually had Pendulum cards in his deck, so it would be easier for Leo to use them to create his own Pendulum cards. It is sad that he felt that they wouldn't accept them when Yuya would have been willing to at least hear Dennis out, if not give him another chance, based on what happened with Sora. I'm less confident about Shun giving him another chance given his involvement with Ruri's kidnapping, but he was becoming less of an angry bird at this point, so he might have been willing to at least hear Dennis out. But he felt that he didn't have that option. And he gave the information that Kaito wanted after winning the duel, so he didn't fee like he could return to Academia either.

Even when I was watching the episode for the first time, the moment Dennis started moving backwards on the ship, I was wondering to myself “Oh man, is he really going to jump off the ship?” Dennis was torn between two options, as symbolized by the two sides of the ship's deck, and instead of making a choice, it was easier to take himself out of the equation by carding himself. It was a shocking and tragic moment. As sad as it was, it kind of made me really love Dennis even more. He was so conflicted over his true feelings and his loyalty to Academia that he couldn't handle it. He didn't have the courage or strength to make his own decision. It just showed how much Academia's teachings affected Dennis and that made him so much more interesting to me.

It's really interesting to compare him with the other former Academia students in this regard. Sora had his friendships with Yuya and Yuzu, which slowly made him realize that Academia would hurt people he cares about and he gradually accepted that he was their alley instead of their enemy. Serena was understandably shocked to learn that her entire worldview was a lie, but because of her prideful warrior nature, she immediately wanted to stop Academia and help save Yuzu. Arc V Asuka was horrified to see what Academia was willing to do even to their traitors and learned what Academia had really done to Heartland afterwards. She never wanted to use Fusion monsters or Polymerization again, which is why she runs a Ritual Deck instead. These characters had support from either friends or their own convictions that allowed for them to make the stand against Academia. Dennis did not really have that. Not because he didn't have any friends. He enjoyed his time with the Lancers and I believed that. He was still a spy, but he was clearly having more fun being with them than with Academia. At the very least, I believe he saw both Yuya and Gongenzaka as his friends. But because Dennis lacked the courage to make a choice on his own, I don't think having support from Yuya would have been enough, especially when even Yusho reaching out to Dennis didn't help him.

Yuya vs. Dennis was such a great duel too. Even though Academia was effectively destroyed, Dennis was still more willing to initially play the villain in their duel, similar to what happened when he dueled Gongenzaka back in the Synchro arc. But Yuya could pick up on the act and encouraged Dennis to be his true self. This time, Dennis accepted that option and that allowed for both of them to put on a fun duel that entertained the people of Heartland. There is such a clear different between Academia Dennis and Entertainment Duelist Dennis with his demeanor. Both Yuya and Dennis look so genuinely happy after the duel ends too. I especially love how Yuya asked Dennis to become an Entertainment Duelist teacher for the kids in Heartland. He was clearly caught off guard by that idea, but instead of saying he doesn't deserve it, Dennis agrees to it. While he didn't have to worry about his loyalty to Academia anymore, Dennis choosing to embrace his true self is still really huge. He accepts that he is an Entertainment Duelist and doesn't try to hide behind the mask of a villain or soldier. This also provides a way for Dennis to atone for his part in the Dimensional War. Heartland is still in ruins and the people are still understandably traumatized over what happened to them. They most likely aren't going to be happy to see Fusion monsters or Polymerization cards anytime soon. But that doesn't mean that they can't start the process of healing from the war. By teaching Heartland kids about Entertainment Dueling, Dennis is able to finally be himself while allowing the people of Heartland to remember how fun dueling can be at the same time.
