Kenzan VS The Curry Fiend! A Spicy Duel

(Check out my Subbed!GX Stream Masterpost!)

[In this house we appreciate Professor Kabayama]

Instructor Kabayama, Yellow’s dorm leader, tries to bring Tyranno Kenzan and the others who have kept staying at the Red dorm back to the Yellow dorm–doing so by using curry to lure them.  Kenzan and Kabayama then duel, and Kabayama activates his Curry Pot Permanent Magic, which gradually removes his carrot, potato, and onion from the game, culminating in the summoning of Curry Fiend Roux.  Due to his Spice Cards, Roux has his ATK raised up to 4100–much like a curry that was carefully simmered and thoroughly prepared…

Episode 63′s newly revised and finalized! Didn’t mean to take three weeks since 62, but since I was getting my first jab against the, uh, crush card virus we have out there, I tried to get the episode’s script taken care of this week just in case it went down a bit tough, lol. (So far, at least, slight arm soreness aside, I’m feeling good!) also i just got a Switch

After the bit of plot dump we got last episode with Judai, we have a bit of a breather episode here that’s also somewhat endearing, as we have some screentime for one of the Duel Academia’s oft-neglected professors in Kabayama–who I know I’d seen somewhere before… Kenzan also gets some more duel time, premiering his new Dino Infinity, and Kabayama translating the cooking of curry into a dueling strategy was interesting.  Meanwhile, Judai’s slowly working his way back to everyone, so we’ll put a pin on him for now.

Fix-wise, I did apply a few quality-of-life footage edits which were split-screen-related, but not too hard to work on.  Some details below the cut, as usual.

Enjoy, everyone! I’ll be getting work started on 64 next in a day or two, and I should have it done before Injection Fairy Lily jabs me again in three weeks; it’s Shou VS Kenzan to decide who really is Judai’s lil’ bro, and it starts an interesting Shou/Kenzan dynamic~

All right, so with everything up-and-loaded over on Cloudy, the downside is that they don’t have a playlist function so I can organize everything like on Dailymotion.  Enter this post, where you’ll find all the links sorted out by seasons! I’ll be updating it as I upload my finalized Season 1 episodes in the coming weeks, so check the original post periodically or keep an eye on the notes for any reblogs of it I do so you’re aware of any updates.  Also, keep in mind that you can download these from NAC, since I post all my downloads there!

If you would rather download, you can also use this torrent set up by rhodanum with all of my subbed episodes, including my updated Season 3 subs (which you won’t find in other torrents; does not include my finalized Season 1 stuff, which you can find on NAC’s download forum): [removed because Kickass has been sent to the stars]

(Before you go on here, if you don’t mind, would you please take a minute to sign this petition I’ve set up to get GX’s unreleased music tracks released? A lot of GX wouldn’t be as good as it was without the unreleased music, and it’s still disappointing that the delayed Sound Duel 2 didn’t cover much of them.  Fans got ZeXal an unexpected Sound Duel 5, so we’re trying to do the same for GX here! Spread the word if you can, too!)

Also, Crunchyroll has begun to roll out official GX subs as of 8/1/15! This is excellent news for the fandom, and while you’re more than welcome to continue watching my subs, be sure to give their subs at least one watch just to show support for the official release! You can also just have their upload playing on a muted tab while you watch my version!

To keep the html’d list consistent, season breaks are denoted like this; arc breaks are in italics.

UPDATE (4/10/21): Finalized!Episodes 1-63 now on the list; finalizing Season 2′s now underway, so stay tuned as we revisit these~ (Removed the torrent link because the site’s now dead; may upload a new one at some point)

If you see any busted links, shoot me an ask and I’ll fix it up! Make sure you check the original post first, though; I may have already fixed it. :P

A New E-Hero! Neos

(Check out my Subbed!GX Stream Masterpost!)

A despondent Judai finds himself in hyperspace.  With the guidance of a strange yet friendly dolphin alien, Judai reunites with the cards he drew as a child which were launched into space by the Kaiba Corporation–but due to the power of the universe’s will, they became perfected cards.  Judai then duels a hostile space creature, and he begins to understand the concept of his new deck, which harnesses the power of Neo Space, a body of energy at the ends of the universe, to power up his Monsters.

Here’s a finalized!62 for you! Despite the randomness of Judai finding himself in a world 600 million miles away because of a shooting star crashing into him, this is an interesting episode that helps set up some overarching plot points we’ll see for the rest of the series, between Neo Space, the whole “power of righteous darkness” thing, and the concept of dark (good) vs light (evil) which doesn’t happen often.  We also get Judai’s mental fog due to the effect Saiou’s powers had on him clear up as he rediscovers the kid inside him, and–as a Japanese blog I looked up some lines on put it–”the start of the ‘Neos overuse’ legend,” lol.  Of course, this also sets up the next few “Judai’s lost” episodes, but we’ll see soon enough that there’s a reason for them.

Animation fix-wise, nothing to report here!

Enjoy, folks; I’ll be getting started on 63 soon, as Kenzan gets some time to shine, and everyone suddenly gets hungry…

Been a while since I posted one of these! 

So, after I finished my 5D’s “Dub-Uncut” project a bit ago, I wanted to go ahead and work on a full version of the singable lyrics I whipped up for CROSS GAME; I was proud of how the TV-size translation came out and wanted to tackle the full song, since I’d never done so.  There’s also no English (or even Spanish!) cover of this song apparently, so hopefully this helps to inspire folks to try it; it’s a really good song, and I miiiight’ve started thinking of Yusei and Aki a bit as I did the second verse with the “you lock me out… let me in?” line as CROSS GAME starts being used post-Fortune Cup and all, but I think the “shared goals” part and hearing stories can also work with the Signers coming together from their different backgrounds for their united purpose.  

For the line about an allegro, because an allegro describes something happening in almost an instant, the idea was that the scene being so captivatingly imagined about shared goals as stars lighting up the sky would be more vivid because it’d feel so much longer when actually in the moment of it happening.  It was tough trying to word it well enough to convey that, but hopefully I did, lol.

Enjoy, and yeah, feel free to use for fandubs or as a base for them or what have you! I’ll revise my Last Train - A New Morning translations soonish too and post those up, along with the With the Wind and Believe in Magic lyrics I meant to post for VRAINS *checks notes* two+ years ago… whoops

Enter Saiou! The Tarot Deck of Destiny

The mysterious man Saiou appears before Manjoume to duel him.  Saiou uses a very Tarot-style way of battle in which he sets his cards on his table, has Manjoume shuffle his deck, and foretells Manjoume’s fate according to the card he pulls–causing this to become a confrontation between Saiou’s belief in absolute fate and Manjoume’s belief in making his destiny for himself.

A bit over a month later, here’s my finalized subs for episode 61! After Fubuki’s episode last time ended with Judai isolated in his room, Manjoume tries to shake him out of this mental toll he’s taken, but to no avail.  Then Manjoume finds himself facing Saiou as we’re more properly introduced to Ed’s manager and friend, as well as his belief that one can’t escape the destiny they’ve chosen for themselves–and before long, where he failed with Judai, Saiou succeeds with Manjoume in finding a new servant for his… Society of Light? It’s a nicely paced episode, imo; I liked how well Saiou was written here in establishing more about him and foreshadowing Manjoume’s defeat, and hey, Armed Dragon LV10 showed up!

Animation-fix-wise, there’s… actually nothing to report on, which hasn’t happened in a while. 😅 This was just mainly delayed as I wrapped up work on my 5D’s “Dub-Uncut” mini-project 2-4 weeks ago, then I focused on polishing the script for the last week or so.

Enjoy! Should have this up on NAC in the next day or two.  With this done, I’ll be prepping for 62 as we get Judai suddenly finding himself in Neo Space for some plot; we’ll, uh, see how this goes.

Everybody, listen!

So, this was something I started a few weeks ago–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 totally salvage what they changed for no raisin).  Hence, the “dubbed uncut” gimmick here.  And Duel Links giving us 5D’s World also helped a lot, as it gave us the English VAs performing lines right from the Japanese version, which I did my best to squeeze in, along with some summon chants from later on.  It was fun working on this!

Along with the more accurately-paced dialogue, I’ve also translated the OP/EN, the title cards, and previews (where I also threw in the corresponding lines to the Japanese preview from the next episode, if able) to give this an actual “What if they actually did this uncut” feel.  Episode 29 also features the awesome English cover of Last Train - A New Morning that Mark de Groot did to that end, but the release I’ll post on NAC will have it as an optional audio track.  I go into more of the specifics with each episode’s own release post, so check out the tag here to see what I’ve done with them! If you’re curious about how they look/sound as I edit everything, check out the work-in-progress videos I’ve done here.

Anywho, check ‘em out below! And always check this post in case any of the links break!

Current Update (2/22/21): I went back to all but episode 22 and finalized these episodes to make some things consistent across all of them and reduce some of the hardsubs I included in some episodes that I may have gone a bit overboard with–but this mini-project is officially done!

Previous Update (2/18/21): After starting with 23-26, going back to do 21-22 and redo 23-26, after over 2.5 years (somehow), episodes 21-29 are all done! 🎉 Unless 4K/Konami Cross Media decide to flub up more episodes somehow, I won’t be doing more full episodes, but you can keep an eye on my WIP-video tag or my YouTube channel for the occasional clips I might do~

21. Second Round Showdown – Part 2 (A Vengeful Bommer – The Sorrowful Trap, Chariot Pile)

22. The Profiler (A Disclosed Past! The Duel Profiler VS the Black Rose Witch)

23. Duel of the Dragons – Part 1 (The Final Match – A Heart Hidden Behind the Mask)

24. Duel of the Dragons – Part 2 (Victim Sanctuary – Become the Star Enveloping Destruction! Stardust Dragon)

25. The Fortune Cup Finale – Part 1 (The Fortune Cup Finale! The Lone King Jack Atlas)

26.The Fortune Cup Finale – Part 2 (The Fate of the Signers! A Future Shown by the Crimson Dragon)

27. A Web of Deceit – Part 1 (A World Without Light – The Dark Synchro Frozen Fitzgerald!)

28. A Web of Deceit – Part 2 (A Darkness Engulfing All – The Immortal Dark Signer)

29. Good Cop, Bad Cop (A Looming Threat! The Dark Signer Ushio?!)

“A Looming Threat! The Dark Signer Ushio?!”/”Good Cop, Bad Cop”

Everybody listen!

Well, after over 2.5 years now (…welp), this little mini-project is finally wrapped up! (Well, not totally, as I realized I have to go back and fix a few things for consistency, but y’know) It’s been neat editing these to throw the Japanese OST back in, and while I might do a few clips here/there now for fun, unless 4K/Konami Cross Media decide to flub up more episode uploads without their dub OST, I probably won’t be doing more full episodes. (Need to work on finalizing my GX subs finally, haha.)

But in case this is still the first you’re hearing about my mini-project here, let’s get you up to speed:

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.  To this end, I’ve also used dialogue from Duel Links where applicable, or even borrowed audio from other episodes with the vocals isolated to lend to that effect.

Check out the masterpost of episodes here!

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

This was an interesting one to work with, and I was looking forward to it because of the Jack/Carly scene at the end over Jack Battle; it was also neat working in OSTs like Ceremony off Sound Duel 2 and mesh it with the dub, while recreating some of the OST tweaks they did (like speeding up Carly’s theme or sputtering Rua/Ruka Battle 2 as Jack calls Carly out lol).  Dialogue-editing-wise, this wasn’t as bad as 28, thankfully, as most of the dialogue was more or less adapted well, though I still did need to grab dialogue from other sources to cover for some dub fails, and I did grab audio from episode 30′s dub for the preview.  I also translated the “Road of the King” poster shown in four scenes (two outside the gala that happens and two inside as Godwin talks), using the dub’s “Atlas Rising - The Rise of Jack Atlas” name.  And since this is the last episode I’m working on, I thought it’d be cool to make use of Mark de Groot’s awesome Last Train - A New Morning English cover to really channel more of that “what if uncut” energy (just a shame no solid English CROSS GAME cover exists, but hopefully my eventual full translation when I post it will help that along). Full breakdown below, if you’re curious.

So, yeah… Enjoy, folks! Now that these are all done, I’ll be focusing more on my finalizing my GX subs and looking into finally reuploading my 5D’s sub/dub comparisons onto a new site, though this has made me want to revisit my 5D’s!DBZ Kai project occasionally, lol (I do want to see about using TheMilkman’s reduced-filler cut of Kai, though, as I thought it was a much more streamlined way to watch the show, but we’ll see).  I do have ideas for clips to create later on, but for now, enjoy these and think of what could have been (and could still be if we ever miraculously get a redub…)~
