Episode 13: A Duel to Remember | Lance's Comparisons For those interested, 5D’s Episode 13′s comparison is now up and loaded! Featuring the infamous “Mr. Amnesia Man” subplot that had no reason to be added. I wish I could forget it, though… Enjoy!
Also, I’ll be giving the previous ones a slight makeover in terms of screencap size, and adding a spot to credit who’s responsible for adapting the script in each episode (that I’ll fill in once I get more of the DVD/Webrips). Just so we know who to blame for the cringe-worthy episodes.

Super Fusion! Bonds Beyond Time - Rescore Project
And finally got the subbed version re-uploaded!
This is Japanese!BBT after tons of audio editing and a rescored soundtrack to include more tunes from GX and DM that the official version didn’t include, opting instead for more 5D’s music than anything (which, while I love the 5D’s tunes, considering it’s a crossover/anniversary movie, sharing the love would’ve been cool). Sparked by the disappointment most fans felt over at Janime/NeoArkCradle over that, suggestions were brought up, GoldenUmi from GX_ST gave me audio tracks to work with, I worked some editing magic to get rid of most of the leftover music, timed the new songs, leveled them out volume-wise and added some SFX where needed, and BOOM goes the dynamite. It’s not entirely perfect, though, given said editing and having lost the original tracks to try and fix it with, but it’s at least watchable.
(I did tweak the dialogue a bit to match the original more, moreso in the beginning by switching some lines around or muting others (and just realized I missed a good chance with Jaden’s “about to get closer!” line in the first scene), and I added back monster sounds for the most part. Some parts might sound like they’re missing SFX; I really just put more effort into making the Japanese version sound good, lol.)
Subs originally by GX_ST/TnKP, edited by me.
Enjoy! Hope that helps, neoxyzero! :)

ARC of Smiles! - My English Singable Translation
Whoooooo, BOY, this was a lot of fun. And by “fun,” I mean “HOW THE HELL DO I SQUEEZE THESE SYLLABLES IN AND STILL MAKE IT FLOW?!” I still don’t think I entirely succeeded there in the chorus/other small spots (especially in the “No! Akiramenai!” line; as a guide, I smashed “they[]would” together so you get an idea of how it should be; like “thiiiiings won’t always end the way we thought theywould will they–no! …”), but after rehearsing it for like, an hour, I think it should work?? Hopefully lol, especially if you practice it with the instrumental a bit. Other than that, yep, another singable translation for you guys; do with it what you’d like! :)
I also have a translation pretty much done for Future Fighter! that I’ll post up when I get a chance!
(And if you want me to translate something, I’ve opened up to commissions, since the money would help lol. Details here!)

Hey, guys!
So, as I’ve said before, I’ve been meaning to look into accepting donations and translation commissions to help pay for my student loans (I pay $256/month from the federal side, ~$50/month for my campus loan), bills my parents are making me chip in for in exchange for NO RENT (just elec and cable, but it’s $360/month), and other miscellaneous costs that might crop up while I try to put more of my paychecks towards getting to move out (currently working a $15/hr temp job that’s set to wrap up in August; planning to ramp up my job search). I live in the Bronx here in NYC–have for the last three years since returning from my undergrad in Albany–and I’ve been itching to get myself into an apartment with people my age in a better area for a while. But having to use my paychecks mostly on those bills and to catch up on loan payments doesn’t really leave me much room to work with.
To that end, I’ve finally gotten around to adding a Paypal “Donate” button to my blog, so if I’ve helped you enjoy GX through my translations all these years, see what the differences are between Japanese and English 5D’s (still ongoing as I restore my comparisons lol), or you just enjoy seeing me on your dash, and you have some money to offer, it’d be a great help; if not, even a signal boost would be great! Like I said, I’m willing to work on some translation commissions too; I can translate some songs (search ‘#song translations’ on my blog for others I’ve done), some manga scans, maaaybe even an episode of a show you like? I’m also open to trying to mix for you if you have any audio projects you’re working on, like fandubs or the like (I’m currently working on rescoring DBZKai’s dub with YGO!5D’s music [currently on episode 3], and I also rescored Bonds Beyond Time with a more series-inclusive soundtrack). I could also try what-ifs (example: a DBZKai episode or clip with ARC-V music), depending lol. I don’t know what good rates are for all that, though, so if you happen to know what someone who’s offered the same charged, let me know and I could work off of that!
But yeah, having some side money to handle my loans/bills would definitely be a big help for the time being. :)

To Marvelous Entertainment: Release Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and 5D's' Unreleased Music Yo guys, just wanted to repost this link in a newer post (thanks to everyone who reblogged my original post and follow-up for it) so more people would be aware of this petition.
As most GX and 5D’s fans know, a lot of music from the Japanese versions of those shows went unreleased, despite two (for GX; 3 for 5D’s, two of which were 2-CD releases) Sound Duel soundtracks, and they were a lot of the good ones. In GX’s case, there was an incredibly huge delay with Sound Duel 2’s release, and in that time, we basically got two CDs’ worth of new music during the Seven Stars/Shadow Riders arc and Season 2 (notably A Powerful Threat, All-Out Duel, Reconciliation, Camula’s Theme, Saiou’s Theme, Standstill, Enjoying the Duel and a few here), as well as Season 3 (notably A Strong Force, Johan’s Theme and his Gem Beasts’ Theme); none of the new tracks during the former were released, and most of the Season 3 songs were released with tracks from Season 4 on Sound Duel 2 when it did come out. Also of note: Sound Duel 2’s only TV-Size OP/EN were Precious Time and Endless Dream (while 5D’s had all of its TV-size OP/ENs released). I’d say that leaves 60% or so of GX’s soundtrack unreleased.
With 5D’s, while maybe 80% of the soundtrack was released, there were 10-15 tracks during the Fortune Cup/Dark Signers arcs that weren’t released yet they were used during memorable moments (among them JACK Battle 2, Yusei’s original battle theme, Hopeless Battle, and Lamentation), and the WRGP/Ark Cradle arc saw another 15 or so go unreleased (like this remixed Speed World, Sherry Battle, and Tactics). A smaller pool of unreleased stuff compared to GX, but it still would be nice to have them in perfect quality.
Sure, ripping the tracks is a solution, but unfortunately, it can be hard to keep a lot of what defines the tracks intact, and it wouldn’t be the same as listening to it during an episode (example here).
Thing is, I started this petition back in October, and there are only 60-ish signatures! The goal’s set at the default 1000 on the site, but I suppose more realistically, getting 200 might be a good start (right?). Now, this is the YGO fandom, and I know there are a bunch of GX/5D’s fans who liked/loved the series and a lot of the music that didn’t get released. There were also a lot of ZeXal fans out there who were pleasantly surprised when an unexpected Sound Duel 5 was announced, made thanks to fan outcry:
放送終了後も未収録音源のCD化を望むお声を多数頂きましたことを受け、今回の発売が決定致しました。
*quick translation by me*
“Many of you voiced your wishes for CDs of the soundtracks that went unreleased even after [ZeXal]’s broadcast concluded, and that led us to this next release.”
It came out a few weeks back and put a huge dent in ZeXal’s “unreleased music” list. Getting the same done for GX and 5D’s (but especially GX since it has a ton more) would be great, and is the general goal here. I mean, YGO series in general have awesome soundtracks, and it’d be nice to appreciate GX’s and 5D’s in full. GX especially has a great pitch going for it: this year was its 10th Anniversary!
If fans’ voices helped ZeXal, it can help GX and 5D’s. If you’ve already signed, thanks so much! If not, well, help us out, fandom! It only takes a minute or two to sign. We can do it!
77 sigs so far; thanks again to everyone who’s signed! And if you haven’t, WHERE IS MY FANDOM UNITE SPELL CARD?! But really, even if you’re not into GX or 5D’s, consider taking a minute to sign this for your fellow YGO fans if you’re able to. Those examples I linked to above should give you an idea of why getting these songs finally released and give GX and 5D’s the “Fully Released” label that DM’s OST has (99% of iirc) would be awesome.
Up to 109 signatures now (as of 7/26/15), and while we could still use plenty more signatures (only 9 more since 5/25), this isn’t bad; huge shoutout to everyone who’s signed and helped to boost so far! Keep ‘em coming!

The Biggest Dreamer - A GX MAD
So, I was surfing through some old Vegas projects when I saw this. I think I started it for a fandub I wanted to do, but I picked it back up over the last few days out of boredom and finished it (also DAMN is this song [and Tamers in general, mind you] good). And here’s the result! My first time really working with the chroma keyer effect, as seen with those shots of the logos and Kenzan/co’s hands from Teardrop and The Sun respectively, and I do like how that came out! Also made those PIPs of Kenzan and Manjoume’s clips so they wouldn’t stick out with just one clip each lol. And then I figured I’d add the JP credits, which wasn’t too hard to do since I’d just done Endless Dream’s credits in Japanese, and timed them as close to the original Tamers opening as I could, given the extra stuff that GX opening credits get. All in all, fun to work on.
Hope you guys enjoy it! If this gets a lot of notes, I’ll post a textless version over on NAC haha.
