The One With the Perfect Hair Forever - Part 1

Aged Chairman Kagemaru steals the keys to the seven Spirit Gates, acquiring the three Phantasm cards.  Judai and Kagemaru duel, and Kagemaru summons the first Phantasm, “Uria, Lord of Divine Flames.” Its ATK is multiplied by 1000 for each Trap Card in his Cemetery, and it can take out opposing Traps.  Judai takes down Uria, but it revives with each attempt.  Additionally, the second Phantasm, “Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder” (ATK/ 4000), is summoned, and Judai faces a tough predicament against both Phantasms.  Through the Phantasms, Kagemaru gains the life energies of the Duel Monsters, which…

Episode 49: VS Kagemaru (Part 2) - The Three Phantasms Awaken

(The One With the Perfect Hair Forever - Part 2)

“Raviel, Lord of Phantasms” (ATK/ 4000), is summoned, as well.  Kagemaru’s goal is to absorb even Judai and gain eternal life from the Duel Monsters.  Judai’s down to 600LP, but he rides his wishes on the mysterious card left behind by Daitokuji, and aims for a turnaround…

Bit of a delay aside (as I mentioned here), episodes 48 and 49 are finally finalized! Here, we reach the climax of our villain plot this Season, as Judai takes on Old Man Kagemaru and the three Phantasms we’ve been building up to seeing.  It’s a good two-parter that does a good job of showing how menacing they can be (though maybe Part 2 does a better job due to the better art quality), and they’re not bad as the yang to the Mythic/Egyptian Gods’ yin (though I believe that role’s better played by the Wicked cards in YGO R? Been a while…).  Judai appealing to Kagemaru’s humanity (around eliminating the Duel Monsters leading to his loneliness) is a nice touch, too, and I’m glad that the dub kep–just kidding, the dub completely cut that part out

As I mentioned in my initial linked post, part of the delay in getting these done was finishing the animation/card fixes with a slightly hectic irl schedule; 48 had less of them, but 49 had a couple that were… fun to work with.  List below the cut, as usual~

Enjoy, folks! I’ll be taking a little break to work some more on those 5D’s Dub-Uncuts (revising my first attempt at episode 23, which should sound neat with Duel Links lines) before prepping to knock out the final three episodes and get Season 1 in the finalized books.  Looking forward to Hayato VS Chronos and the Graduation Duel finale; Judai VS Ryou II is one of my favorites. :)

The One With the Zero Love Life

Manjoume can’t hold back his love for Asuka.  Pushed to it by Fubuki, he steals the seven Spirit Gates’ keys and forces Asuka into a duel.  While Manjoume uses the Love Letter and Hidden Feelings cards, he soon becomes crazed about his love.  He keeps Asuka from summoning Monsters with his Ojama Token and Ojama King and is close to seizing victory, but Asuka seeks to turn things around with her Cyber Angel…

*crashes in months later with Starbucks*

Finally have this completed for you folks! Apologies for the hold-up, it’s been a veery busy month, lol.  So, here we have an iconic episode now finalized: Manjoume VS Asuka, fueled in part by Fubuki’s bad habit of being there for those in love.  It’s entertaining for sure, though it does make clear that Manjoume’s feelings were a bit one-sided… 😅 

Part of the delay with this was working on some of the animation fixes I did here, and doing them for 48-49 too since I want to try and work on them next in quicker succession.  List of 47′s fixes below the cut, as usual.

Enjoy! I’ll be working on 48 next as we get the final villain showdown of Season 1 done in Judai VS Kagemaru, which is a good two-parter; I’ll be trying to do a double-release for them, so stay tuned!

The Final Match - A Heart Hidden Behind the Mask

(With Less Line-Stitching)

Everybody who’s still following or curious about this project listen!

Phew, finally managed to get this thing all nice and done! In case this is the first you’re hearing about my mini-project here:

So, the official Spanish YGO channel on YouTube flubbed a few uploads of the 5D’s dub such that they ended up uploading a few episodes of the English dub instead of the Latin American dub (21-29)–but with none of 4Kids’s background music! Which meant that I could swoop in and re-insert the original Japanese soundtrack (which I did by matching each track to how it was looped in the episode), but I wanted to do more by also tweaking the dub itself so that not only was it matching the original footage, but the dialogue was more in line with the original dialogue timing-wise (since I couldn’t salvage much of what they changed).  Hence, the “dubbed uncut” gimmick here.

Check out the masterpost of episodes I’ve done here!

Check out this episode’s WIP videos! WIP #1     WIP #2     WIP #3     WIP #3.5

So, this was the first episode I did as I got this mini-project going since it’s a favorite of mine, and now that I’ve gone on to do five others and have a little routine to go at it with, I’ve given it a revision.  Overall, the dialogue for this episode was more faithful than usual to the Japanese version, save for a card explanation or two, so with a fluff line cut here and a moved or recycled-from-another-episode line over there, it was easier to make this work with the Japanese episode.

A few parts were essentially done by just throwing in the Japanese version’s dialogue-less audio to eliminate some of the extra fluff, and others were more about rearranging or recycling certain lines to eliminate some more fluff or make my matching the JP script flow better (this happens during Yusei’s thinking about Akiza in his room, for example).  Duel Links audio came in handy for the Rose Tentacles scene, and with Akiza’s “enjoying destruction” at the end (which, THANK YOU DUEL LINKS FOR KEEPING THAT).  I also moved some lines to try and cut out some of the unneeded SFX 4Kids added; Yusei’s “I counter by summoning Speed Warrior in Attack Mode” was one I made “I summon Speed Warrior!” line to avoid doubling up on Speed Warrior’s grunts, for example, and I did also try to stitch together some lines for better card effect explanations from Akiza.  You can see those in action in the WIP videos above (it was Cursed Ivy’s activation and her explaining Rose Tentacles), but in case you don’t like how it came out, I did include a slightly less-edited version of the episode above that uses her lines from the episode (you can see a revised version of the Cursed Ivy stitching in this WIP revision)

Music-wise, I did revise a few things versus Version 1; I realized I looped “The Big Quake” incorrectly near the end as Aki pants, and I fixed the pitch I had “Incident” at in the beginning so the transition to the Japanese track as Yusei walks in the hallway isn’t jarring.  Do love hearing Mind Games as the duel begins, though, and Izayoi Battle helps the mood quite a bit.

Let me know what you think (maybe the music’s too low in spots?), but hope you guys enjoy! I’ll be going back to GX and finalizing 50-52 to round out Season 1 finally, but I’ll be working on revising 5D’s 24 here/there while I do to avoid burnout; looking forward to adding back some Synchro chants there.  Stay tuned!

A Disclosed Past - The Duel Profiler VS the Black Rose Witch

Check out the masterpost of episodes I’ve done here!

Check out this episode’s WIP videos! WIP #1     WIP #2     WIP #3

So, this was another interesting one to work with–I think overall this episode’s dub definitely benefits from having the Japanese music at *all*, but getting the dialogue a bit more in line with the Japanese script was the more "fun” task here.  A few parts were essentially done by just throwing in the Japanese version’s dialogue-less audio to eliminate some of the extra fluff, and others were more about rearranging or recycling certain lines (some from 23 or 24 when I needed something for Aki) to eliminate some more fluff or make my matching the JP script flow better.  I also fixed an error that bugged me from Tanner about the Black Rose being down to her last few “ATK” points; I ran a line of his from episode 7 through PhonicMind.com to remove the music and splice in “Life” there (I actually did that with much of the second half of that ep so I’ll probably try to do the JP OST thing there too~) For the bits that I felt were just too far edited by 4Kids that I couldn’t do much with them, I thought I’d slip in subs for the Japanese version of the scenes so you get the original context in there; that’ll just be for this hardsub, as you’ll have softsubs to work with when I post this for download over on NAC.  You can see it in action in this preview here.  Also going ahead and translating the “Today’s Best Card” and title cards along with the OP/EN going forward, lol.
