In which Judai VS The Power of Leather Pants

(The video embedded above is mostly unrelated, just added so I could still keep this post up in its current Video-post format.)

Well, here it is, our final episode! I was really starting to think I wouldn’t get to say “I’ve finished subbing GX,” but… I’ve finished subbing GX! The duel between Judai and Yugi continues, until an unexpected guest makes his way in.  It’s been a fun ride, so to commemorate the occasion, you’ll see three tweaks I did here:

1. I used an updated version of Precious Time, Glory Days that Psychic Lover did in 2009, IIRC, for the opening to spice things up (I’m personally a fan of both, but either way, I’ll have both versions up for download on NAC when I post 180 with 179 in the next day or two)
2. I spent a few weeks working on an ending montage over Endless Dream, since I always felt it was a bit underwhelming that we didn’t get much of anything special for GX’s final minutes.  Thanks to blackthunder-chan (and anyone else who might’ve) for helping me flesh out my ideas for it!
3. As I recreated the last “best card”/sponsor clip, since there wasn’t a message there originally, I decided to add a “thanks for the support” one like 5D’s had at the end, and throw in a “Gotcha!” for good measure, since I saw ZeXal’s last message had a “Bring it to ‘em, everyone!” kind of message lol. (You’ll notice when I upload the DVDRip to NAC that I have it there in Japanese, minus the “-GLL99” part lol)

Also, a little side-note: it was a bit hard to tell if Judai’s voiceover lines at the end of the duel were him thinking them in the moment or if it was him narrating.  Because of the narration he did in the beginning, I assumed it was him looking back in retrospect again; at least if 4Kids dubbed it, it might’ve given me an idea just to make sure haha (the Italian dub doesn’t echo thoughts, either).

And like I say at the end, thanks for all the support! :) It’s nice that I’ve seen this through to the end after 6+ years at it, and now I’ve subbed every episode of GX; granted, I still want to go and finalize Seasons 1 and [most of] 2, but yeah. XD

Also, special thanks to se-to-oh/the-supremeking for editing the postcard, and for all the help she’s been with throwing my translations onto things over the course of Season 4! :)

Enjoy the episode, and the montage! Gotcha!!
