Judai was dealt a defeat by Ed, becoming unable to see his cards as anything more than blank paper. Elsewhere, with Chronos’s plot at stake, Fubuki duels his sister Asuka. Fubuki wants to persuade Asuka into a debut in show business through forming a sibling duo together. Fubuki activates his Ultimate Stage Costume Field Magic, raising his Monster’s ATK to 3000, as Asuka uses her Cyber Angel series of Ritual Monsters to face him.
And episode 60′s now finalized! After we see the effects of Saiou’s powers on Judai after his loss to Ed (in a scene that was cut from the dub, by the way), it ends up being a fun episode with more of Fubuki, who we haven’t seen since the end of the Seven Stars arc by now, in his first duel as himself while Chronos’s whole Idol Training Course thing comes back into play, trying to rope Asuka into his plan to take out the Red dorm. I do love the part where Fubuki’s Stage Costume Field Magic backfires, haha.
In terms of animation fixes, there were some–mainly QOL ones, along with a few card-related ones–that I worked into the episode, and for the hardsub, I translated both the banner that appears as Shou visualizes Fubuki at a concert and Manjoume’s pink robe with Asuka’s name on the back (which he apparently only wears here); list below the cut, as usual. I also have to go back to 47 and revise the script a bit to fix the name of Asuka’s Chapel of Blessings - Ritual Church/Ritual Sanctuary Field Magic, which I named “Church of Blessings” then (redundancy!), so if you’ve downloaded that from NAC, keep an eye out for the revision.
Enjoy, folks! With this done, I’ll start working on my last 5D’s Dub-Uncut mini-project episode in 5D’s 29, which should be interesting; I’ll sprinkle in some work on GX 61 as I do, as it’s Saiou’s duel with Manjoume which is a really interesting episode. Stay tuned!
