  • 5D’s Episode 28… With an “Uncut” Dub?! (Re-Edited 4Kids Dub/Japanese OST)

    kaiowut99:

    “A Darkness Engulfing All - The Immortal Dark Signer”/”A Web of Deceit (Part 2)″

    Everybody listen!

    So, took a bit longer because IRL stuff/finalizing my GX 58 script and I got a bit ambitious (lol), but finally finished my dub-uncut take on 28, as Yusei closes out his duel with Dark-Signer!Dick Pitt! More details under the cut, while I’ll now get started on finalizing GX 59 to work on releasing 58 and 59 together before working on 5D’s 29.

    In case this is 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.

    5D’s 28 Dub-Uncut (WIP) - First They Smear You…

    Happy with how this came out! After that bit of translation help the other night, I managed to transcribe and translate the entire smear piece Angela wrote about Yusei that Rally and co (and eventually Carly) were looking at, since I might be a bit too much of a perfectionist for a side project, haha.  But I figured I translated that Bommer email back in 21 so if I can, why not? 🤷🏽‍♂️ Had to take a few liberties in spots so I could fill in the space nicely, and tried to get my best “journalist” voice on as I did, lol.  Transcribed text and my original translation below the cut, if you’re curious.

    I did do what I could to stitch this up together nicely, though I gave the Duel Stadium photo and the second headline next to it a slight rotation since it being off to the side a bit bugged me as I added the text; shouldn’t be much of an issue once I work it into the footage, since I’ll be masking in the original shot as the photo scrolls up.  That’s why I didn’t try to unblur the TV Domino/etc text at the bottom, since I’ll be masking in the original screen there above it.

    Now comes the fun part–since the original shot zooms out while Rally scrolls through the article, I’m thinking it might just be a matter of zooming out the article and moving it with each keyframe with the monitor masked over it, but I’ll see what I can play with. 🤔

    Keep reading

    Bit of an update, but I spent some tonight after some Zooms (and getting GX 58′s script done this weekend [have one last quick quality-of-life animation fix to do there before getting onto 59]) getting started on working this translated article into the footage in Sony Vegas; after about 2 hours listening to a podcast or two, I’ve gotten 38 of 83 frames or so done!

    image

    Basically started by first zooming in at the top where it starts and zooming it out into position at the end of the shot, then going every few keyframes re-positioning the article and zooming it out gradually accordingly; not as hard as I thought it’d be to work it in, lol.  Now, what I’m doing is working off of a duplicate video track for the original shot and masking in the monitor’s sides and the rest of the shot over the article itself, which shouldn’t take too long over the next few days.  Once I do that, I might brighten/tint the article in a few frames for the blue light effect that was originally there, and I’ll also do something about the jitteryness I see in the one frame here and make sure it’s smooth throughout.

    5D’s Dub-Uncut Episode 28 WIP #2: Backed into a Corner

    Gradually working more on this! With the dialogue mostly drafted (I think I still have to draft the preview), I’ve started mixing in more SFX and I’ve pretty much finished doing so for the duel portion of the episode; I haven’t totally leveled out the audio levels here, so the sound is still in progress, but I thought I’d show off a bit more.  Especially since I kind of like how this came out, lol.

    5D’s Dub-Uncut Episode 28 WIP #1: On Thin Ice

    Finally have enough work done on 5D’s 28 to start showing it off a bit! I’d gotten started on it about 2-3 weeks ago and drafted up most of the dialogue, so now I’ve gone back to add the music and all.  The effect applied to the video later is to get through the Content ID system, which kept blocking that section (managed to edit the early parts enough to avoid it there, and then the ending bit wasn’t blocked because 4Kids didn’t dub that Carly scene) 

    Here, along with showing off the Card Showcase bit–where I used Duel Links lines again to cover for Rua and Ruka’s lines–I also have the recap tweak to the end of episode 27, where the “Dark Tuning” track was pitched up and sped up a bit.  

    In the episode proper, you have the scene with the Dark Signers talking about Yusei–where I moved Roman’s “new champion” line to play where Demak originally said it after the rapid zoom-out, mixed with a laugh to space his lines out a bit–and then back at the duel, when possessed!Dick uses Dark Tuner Catastrogue’s effect, which I had to stitch together a proper explanation for, since an annoying Card Interruption did it in the dub; I recycled bits from episode 27 when he activated Blizzard Lizard’s and Call of the Haunted’s effects, then moved his line about the shadows to later when I redid his declaring Frozen Fitzgerald’s attack and explaining its effect to take out a ton of fluff.  I moved Carly’s lines about “what we’re seeing” and real damage to play during the scene here where she sneezes that was cut from the dub, using Japanese Carly’s sneezing, and then I recycled Dick ending his turn from 27 to take out his fluff about Goodwin and just stick to the JP script. 

    Special thanks to yugidmx5 again for isolating the vocals for Roman’s “new champion” and some of Dick’s lines; the latter let me also stitch together a “Blizzard Strike!!” shout for Frozen Fitzgerald’s attack.  Their help with that will also be helping with Turret Warrior later and other lines I’ll be trying to work in. (Preliminarily, I may have to keep the scenes with Yusei at the end of the episode talking about having to see Goodwin and “hiring” Ushio as a bodyguard because I don’t have enough dialogue from either of them to make it totally more accurate to the Japanese version, but I might be able to edit it enough so that it’s not so blatantly obvious the latter was an added thing… Be nice if I knew folks who could re-record the dialogue, lol.) 

    Stay tuned for more WIPs as I get work done on this!

  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Episode 57 Subbed (Finalized)

    kaiowut99:

    The Kaiser VS Ed! A Battle in the Pro League

    Kaiser Ryou and Ed Phoenix are set to duel in the Pro Dueling League.  While Ed’s deck is an E-Hero deck, it contains different cards and strategies than Judai’s, and so he Fusion-Summons “Phoenixguy.” The Kaiser strikes back with his Cyber Dragon cards, and Judai and the others, knowing it’s a deck he’s faced before, assume Ed to be weak.  At last, the Kaiser closes in on him with Cyber End Dragon, strengthened by his Power Bond, but…

    And a newly finalized 57 is all done! Only took 2.5 weeks, so not too shabby, lol.  It’s a neat episode, establishes what the Pro League Ryou’s moved onto is like, we get some fated insight into our mysterious new freshman, and… Ryou’s spiral into Hell Kaiser is set into motion.  Also, Judai learns something new about his deck, which… c’mon, ya dork.  Overall, a good episode.

    (Also, did want to note that, for Ed’s Heroes, I decided to use “[x]guy” as opposed to “[x] Guy” as I’d done before (ie, “Phoenixguy” vs “Phoenix Guy”); given that it’s a riff off of Judai’s “[x]man/lady” Heroes, and it’s written that way in Japanese without a space between “[x]” and “guy”, I figured it’d make sense.  Means it’ll be “Diamondguy,” “Diehardguy,” etc when we get to Ed’s D-Heroes reveal next time.)

    On the fixes/edits side: had a few card fixes to do, but the big ones were adding Burstlady’s oft-forgotten shoulder strap and taking a crack at fixing the signs Ryou walks past in Domino City that were mirrored for some reason, though I’d handled this latter one as I prepared 56.  Details below the cut~

    Enjoy, folks! After a little downtime (we do apparently have something happening tomorrow in the US which, however you go about it, you should consider taking part in if you haven’t yet [wake me up when dueling to settle world issues is being debated]), I’ll be looking more into working on 5D’s 28′s Dub-Uncut edit, mixed with preparing for finalizing both GX 58 and 59; as it’s the first real Judai VS Ed duel, and one of my favorites, I’ll be trying to release them together, so stay tuned!

    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): http://bit.ly/1dVusa2

    (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 (11/2/20): Finalized!Episodes 1-57 now on the list! Finalizing Season 2′s now underway, so stay tuned as we revisit these~

    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

  • Question!

    kaiowut99:

    Just to spitball, but does anyone know an episode of 5D’s post-65 where Yusei had to deal with a monster that kept reviving itself in a duel? I’m checking some on the Wikia, but thought I should ask if someone remembered, lol.  I’m trying to see if I can recreate an “Even if Frozen Fitzgerald [his monster] is destroyed in battle, it’ll keep coming back, and I’ll keep losing monsters” line for “dub-uncut” 28 and I’m looking for lines I could vocal-isolate to make it happen 🤔

  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Episode 56 Subbed (Finalized)

    kaiowut99:

    Shou VS the Bug Birl! Insect Princess (The Gang Witnesses an Evolution (ft. Misawa)

    A promotion for Shou to the Yellow dorm has come up, and the condition Chronos has prepared for him is to defeat Ran Kochou, a young woman from the Blue dorm, in a duel.  Shou’s frightened about it, but words from Judai and the others begin to motivate him.  Shou uses his Vehicroid deck to battle, while Ran uses her Insect deck.  Ran spreads ants onto Shou’s field, raising her Insect Princess’s ATK to 2900 by destroying them.  Shou battles on, deliberately not using Power Bond, and combines three of his Vehicroids to summon his Jumbo Drill…

    rip misawa

    Here’s finalized!56, folks! Overall, one of my favorite episodes because it starts off a thread of character development for Shou that we touch back on here/there in Season 2 (when we don’t meander too far from the plot) but really comes through more in Seasons 3 and 4.  I love how he takes issue with Ran’s calling him just a “flunky” and acknowledges that, yeah, he’s chased after people out of admiration, but as of now he’s choosing to walk with them instead.  It’s a neat moment, and Judai watching his evolution is the cherry on top. i end up having big Shou/Ryou feels by Season 4′s end Also, Manjoume’s new room is finally ready after two episodes, and Asuka’s crashing at Red for now because of Chronos/Napoleon antics.  So, Red’s kind of the place to be, it seems.

    The only gripe I have here is that this episode starts off the season’s trend of forgetting about Misawa.  Which, that it happens in-series, is probably the writers acknowledging that they’ve forgotten him, but… no wonder the dude ends up trying to join the Society of Light later.

    Thankfully, there weren’t any card fixes to handle here, but I did do some quick quality-of-watching fixes, including one big one at the end that… lifted me off my seat when I saw it, haha.  Also, quick translation note included.  List below the cut, as usual.

    Enjoy, folks! I’ll be getting started on prepping for 57 soon to make up a bit for the gap between 55 and 56, with some occasional work on 5D’s “Dub-Uncut” #28 splashed in for variety (I actually managed to whip something up for the beginning Rua/Ruka bit with Turret Warrior, lol).  Once I do 57 and knock out 5D’s 28, I’m thinking I’ll try to handle 58 and 59 together; it’s the first serious duel between Judai and Ed, and it was the first series of episodes from the Japanese version that I ever saw way back when–so, needless to say, they’re some of my favorites.

    Keep reading

    This finalized episode is now up for download over on NAC, along with re-finalized versions of 53-55 (revised to include V1 of the Wake Up Your Heart Season 2 video still featuring Shou in Red, which I hadn’t noticed was a thing since it wasn’t released textless officially lol)

    The only gripe I have here is that this episode starts off the season’s trend of forgetting about Misawa.  Which, that it happens in-series, is probably the writers acknowledging that they’ve forgotten him, but… no wonder the dude ends up trying to join the Society of Light later.

    Thankfully, there weren’t any card fixes to handle here, but I did do some quick quality-of-watching fixes, including one big one at the end that… lifted me off my seat when I saw it, haha.  Also, quick translation note included.  List below the cut, as usual.

    Enjoy, folks! I’ll be getting started on prepping for 57 soon to make up a bit for the gap between 55 and 56, with some occasional work on 5D’s “Dub-Uncut” #28 splashed in for variety (I actually managed to whip something up for the beginning Rua/Ruka bit with Turret Warrior, lol).  Once I do 57 and knock out 5D’s 28, I’m thinking I’ll try to handle 58 and 59 together; it’s the first serious duel between Judai and Ed, and it was the first series of episodes from the Japanese version that I ever saw way back when–so, needless to say, they’re some of my favorites.

  • 5D’s “Dub-Uncut” Mini-Series - A Lance99 Project (In-Progress)

    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 (22-27)–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 what they changed, like Yusei asking about Goodwin talking to Akiza instead of JP!Yusei’s asking about his friends).  Hence, the “dubbed uncut” gimmick here.  I’ll be working on this alongside my finalized GX subs, so this should be fun.

    Along with the more accurately-paced dialogue, I’ve also translated the OP/EN, the title cards, and previews (where I also throw in the corresponding lines to the Japanese preview from the next episode, if I’m able) to give this an actual “What if they actually did this uncut” feel.  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 as I edit everything, check out the work-in-progress videos I’ve done here.

    And with Duel Links having given us 5D’s, we also have the English VAs performing lines right from the Japanese version, so I’ll be doing my best to squeeze them in! Especially since the Latin American dub stopped after 4Kids gave them “Season 1″ of episodes 1-52, so no chants from 65+ unfortunately~ [But we get “The hopes coalesce into a single star!” so I’ll be happy]

    Anywho, check ‘em out below, and stay tuned as I get them done! Italics denote an episode I haven’t gotten to uncutify yet.

    Current Update (10/6/20): Episodes 21-22, revised!23-26, and newly-finished 27 are here! 5D’s World’s release in Duel Links helped me fix up my original takes on 23-26 (and I forgot to update this with 26 when I finished it…), and now I’m finally trying out the first few Dark Signer episodes that I’ll be able to edit.  Stay tuned for 28 and 29!
