Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Episodes 97 and 98 Subbed (Finalized)

(Previously: Episodes 95 and 96 Subbed [Finalized])

(Check out my Subbed!GX Stream Masterpost!)

TURN-97: He Appears! The Mysterious World Champ!

The true objective of GeneX, hosted by Principal Samejima, was to find who it is that holds the “ultimate D card.” Similarly, Ed Phoenix has been dueling in order to find the criminal who killed his father and walked away with that card. At the same time, the Dueling Pro League’s World Title Match was about to get underway–one involving the Champion who has ruled over the Pro League for the past decade, DD. DD is also Ed’s guardian, and his duel with Doctor Collector and his IQ of 200 gets underway. But their match is over in an instant–at the hands of DD, and the ultimate D card he used.

TURN-98: Activated at Last! The Ultimate D Card

Ed learns the truth–that DD, the World Champion, killed his father and stole his card–and is challenged to a duel.* Ed battles by making full use of his D-Hero cards, but just as it seemed that he was on equal footing with the World Champion, DD at last activates the ultimate D card, Bloo-D. Faced with this predicament, Ed…

*Should note the preview text I translated for this mentioned that he was challenged “for the key Saiou entrusted him with,” but… this wasn’t actually mentioned, and DD challenged him to a “duel to the death.” Though I guess that kinda works with how the dub tried to tie him to the Society of Light, lol.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A smidge late, but episodes 97 and 98 are finalized!

Got ourselves an interesting two-parter here, as we circle back to Ed’s season-long quest to find his father’s killer and the ultimate D card stolen from him, introducing us to his foster dad DD. Why is DD his foster dad? As we find out, for reasons–ones related to wanting to keep tabs on the investigation into all that. But in the years since, DD’s gone on to rule the Pro League for a decade, thanks in large part to the mysterious powers of the Light of Destruction within him–which, as Pegasus tells Samejima, is behind the Phoenixes’ tragedy and… several other events in history. Ed gets closure with his dad at the end of it all, as our ultimate D Bloo-D absorbed him, and he gets to finally get his life moving again.

Very much enjoyed these two episodes for what they were in completing Ed’s arc; I felt it pretty believable in GX’s context, with how his motivations were fueled by finding his dad’s killer now that he can do something about it, and his rise through the Pro League being to find the guy at the top who’d have his dad’s Bloo-D. Also a nice touch is that, when he finds out DD only took care of him as a means to keep up to speed on the investigation into it, Ed discards any sense of respect he had for him (notably, Ed initially used “anata” (a more polite-yet-casual “you”) with him, but once that revelation’s made, he switches to the ruder “kisama” and calls him “human trash” for what he did). Both were also screenwritten by Shin Yoshida, and 98 in particular gets helped by the animation work from Tea Sun In’s team.

Edit-wise, not as many as last time; I only touched up 97 in two spots, while 98 got more of the handful of fixes I made, totaling 10 for both episodes–97 was more consistency/quality-of-watching stuff, while 98 had that plus a couple of quick card fixes. Due to Tumblr’s dumb link limit in posts yeeting them out of the tags used for them and limiting their reach, and since I still wanted a visual element to it, I’ve made a separate post here with my usual fix/edit breakdown for the interested!

Quick housekeeping: made a quick revision to 95 to fix a consistency error in my translated credits; the name “Chan Yoon Lee” under the Key Animation credits should actually be “Chan Woong Lee;” since they’re a Key Animator consistently on Chi Man Park’s team, and the “Yoon Lee” name only shows up this once, it’s fair to say it was a typo on the JP team’s part. (EDIT, 7/6: Updated 98 to correct “an unique” typo in one of DD’s lines, and reword another one about Bloo-D’s absorbed souls later on.)

Anywho, enjoy! Next up, I’ll be working on 99-101 which work nicely to continue from where 98 leaves us as we start getting into Season 2’s endgame, with Ojin coming for Judai’s key and Ed confronting Saiou (in two really good episodes). I will be a bit more casual with it as my birthday’s next Monday and I may or may not have plans for it, lol, but stay tuned!

All right, so with everything up-and-loaded over on Cloudy Videa, the downside is that they don’t have a playlist function to 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]

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 to show support for the official release.  You can also just have their video playing on a muted tab while you watch my version! (As of Fall 2022, it seems Crunchyroll has put their YGO uploads behind a paywall, so if you don’t have Crunchyroll Premium, you’re unable to fully view them.  Unfortunate choice on their part, imo, given it’s currently the only place to view officially subbed episodes, but welp.)

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

LATEST UPDATE (7/4/23): Finalized Episodes 1-98 now on the list, with 97 and 98 newly finalized.  Also quickly revised 95 to fix a minor consistency error with one of the Key Animators in the credits.  Closing in on the last six episodes of Season 2 to finalize as things come to a head plot-wise, so stay tuned as we revisit these!

PREVIOUS UPDATE (6/1/23): Finalized Episodes 1-96 now on the list, with 95 and 96 newly finalized.  Closing in on the last eight episodes of Season 2 to finalize with some of its best episodes coming up, so stay tuned as we revisit these!

(Also slowed down the gif below since I’ve seen folks tag it due to the flashing; thanks again to ynminor for providing it a while back! Also removed the torrent link because the site’s now dead; may upload a new one at some point.)

(Also, I’ve created a supplement to this post linking to the finalized episodes’ release posts on my blog–these will contain Translation Notes that it’d be worth knowing [also on-screen translations that were done] or Animation Fixes I’ve worked on; if none were done, I didn’t link them. Just in case you’re curious about any episode release notes!)

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

Now updated with finalized!97 and 98, as well as a new link for 95 for a very minor fix to the credits (see 97/98′s release post for details if curious)–always check the first post to ensure you’re saving the latest links!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Episodes 95 and 96 Subbed (Finalized)

(Previously: Episodes 93 and 94 Subbed [Finalized])

(Check out my Subbed!GX Stream Masterpost!)

TURN-95: A Ruthless Brotherly Duel – Ryou VS Shou

Wishing for his kind and respectable brother to be himself again, Shou challenges the Hell Kaiser to a duel. But a callous Ryou conditions it on having a duel in which an electric current will rush through them with every drop in their Life Points. And so, a brotherly duel begins between Ryou and Shou. Shou does develop his dueling–respecting his opponent as always–but Ryou pounces on him, in full command of the Cyber Style’s Reverse deck.

TURN-96: The Relativity Field! Judai VS the Genius Doctor

In order to take back one of his important keys, a Saiou struck by the Waves of Light once again sends in an assassin against Judai. The assassin is Zweinstein, a genius physics expert with a deck made logically–Judai’s weakest point of all. Zweinstein activates his Relativity Field to start things off. He then summons* a Monster that negates Judai’s Fusion, his forte, gaining an edge as the duel unfolds.

*This is referencing Singularity Demon’s effect in the episode, but he doesn’t actually summon it; it’s more of a hand-trap he discards to negate Fusion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Got my subs for episodes 95 and 96 all nice and finalized!

These two episodes are a great time, but 95 in particular is great. It’s the culmination of those little bits we’ve had of Shou observing Ryou’s fall from grace since his loss to Ed, knowing he’d face him one day and preparing himself for it, and the whole time they’re dueling, he holds onto some hope that he can turn Ryou back into the big brother he knew–only to realize by the end that Ryou, after what he’s seen underground, really is just focused on winning, willing to be as “cruel” or “foul” as it takes if it helps. You do feel for the little guy, moreso when this gets flashed back to in 137 during Season 3 (another favorite, as it’s a big development episode for Shou). Also, Judai being a friend and watching over him knowing this was his choice to make, building him up about using Power Bond, rushing over once the duel’s over–it’s sweet.

96 is also one of my favorites because of the good art/dynamic animation, courtesy of Kyoung Soo Lee’s animation team (especially those last few scenes after Judai destroys Relativity Field, but just the Solid Vision putting them in space the entire time). The premise isn’t too bad, we check in with Misawa who’s realizing that just joining the Society of Light isn’t enough for him to make a name for himself, and he bumps into God Einstein Zweinstein who tells him that logic beats “coincidence,” before he tries to convey this to Judai and prove his Grand Unified Duel Theory. I like the Dueling Physics idea and the Einstein parody (he won a Nobelly Prize!), and the match between his logic and Judai’s intuition–and who doesn’t enjoy the randomness of Misawa’s extra Eureka moment, lmao. Still a bit meh on it being the last we see of him for a while, but it is nice seeing him when he does come back. (Also, I like how it’s not at all mentioned how Ojin managed to get a recording of Chronos calling for Judai to trick him with… very GX lol)

Edit-wise, both episodes had a fair amount of animation error fixes I applied; 95 saw more card-related errors than the quick one in 96, while both had a fair share of more quality-of-watching ones with split-screens, incomplete footage frames, or miscolorings (and in Burstlady’s case, another missing shoulder strap). Due to Tumblr’s dumb link limit in posts yeeting them out of the tags used for them and limiting their reach, and since I still wanted a visual element to it, I’ve made a separate post here with my usual fix/edit breakdown for the interested–altogether, that’s about 26 between both episodes, which I think I hit sometime in S1 when doing double-releases for a bit, but since most were quality-of-watching things, they were pretty quick to work on for the most part.

Anywho, enjoy! Looking forward to revisiting 97 and 98 next as we circle back to the Pro Leagues and get Ed’s best episode of the Season in the process; as Judai put it in 96’s preview for 97, “Ed’s Wheel of Fortune’ll suddenly start to turn…”

TURN-93: A White Night Duel! Judai VS Asuka (Part 1)

The two personalities within Saiou are at odds with each other–one is a spirit impacted by the Waves of Light and now aims to destroy the world, while the other is a good spirit trying to prevent that.  In order to prevent the world’s destruction, the good spirit hands two important keys over to Judai and Ed–upon learning of that, the Saiou impacted by the Waves of Light sends in Asuka to face Judai in order to retrieve his key.  With the powerful deck she was given by Saiou, Asuka begins her offensive on Judai with her White Night Queen.

TURN-94: The White Night Dragon! Judai VS Asuka (Part 2)

Asuka’s deck, enhanced by Saiou, gradually drives Judai into a corner.  Struggling, Judai appeals to Asuka’s heart as he tries to return her to her old self, but few of Judai’s words sink into her as she finally summons her strongest card, White Night Dragon.  At an impasse, Judai uses a trump card packed with the “feelings for Asuka” that Manjoume and Fubuki entrusted him with, but…

GX Finalized-Subbed!93 WIP #1 - The Key Split

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Episode 92 (and 91) Subbed (Finalized) Release Clip | The Kingdom of Toons

So, this was going to be an April Fools “lol the dub music” upload to preview my finalized 91/92 release, hoping to use the dub’s Toon theme with this scene, but I liked the idea too much to not follow through after the vocal/music-and-SFX isolator I was using took so long to process the dub audio, lol. almost 24 hours lol rip

This actually… works pretty well, surprisingly? Even the rest of the dub’s OST to some extent lol help

But since dub!92 used less of the Toon World theme here than I remembered (and it is legitimately one of the better tunes the dub came up with), I did want to do an edit with the full Toon theme as an actual score–the downside to that is I’d have had to redo the SFX since I’m not as good with isolating just the SFX atm. But I’ve uploaded it separately here if you’d like to see how it sounds as a proof of concept, haha.

TURN-91: The Grim Reaper’s One-Turn Kill

Rumors have spread of a duelist taking part in GeneX who defeats his opponents in one turn.  This turns out to be Tachibana, who gained his drawing power through a pact with a Grim Reaper card.  Judai ends up dueling Tachibana, who’s sold his soul to the Grim Reaper, and with the start of their duel, Tachibana draws his “One-Hit Knockout! Slash Draw” Magic Card and comes at Judai with his One-Turn Kill. Can Judai possibly…

TURN-92: The Triangle Duel

As word goes around that rank-and-file Instructor Chronos and Vice-Principal Napoleon are being “fired,” Principal Samejima shouts “Get out of here!” at them.  They were both disheartened, but they happen to catch Chairman Pegasus of Industrial Illusions, Inc., on his way to visit Principal Samejima, and they ask for employment with I2.  Pegasus says he will approve their employment if they somehow defeat him in a duel, and so starts a Triangle Duel between Pegasus, Chronos, and Napoleon.  Can Chronos and Napoleon hope to…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Pegasus voice* I give you finalized!91 and 92! deeeesu

Slight delay in finalizing these aside, these episodes aren’t too bad; some continuity with the Duel Academia’s North Campus in Tachibana and his struggle to make the decks he cares about work, making him turn to a Grim Reaper spirit promising to improve his drawing ability–at the cost of his soul. Works well enough for a one-shot episode in GX, nice seeing another One-Turn Kill strategy after Ojin’s in 84, plus the animation looks really good throughout, along with “Impossible Victory” being used as Tachibana switches arms with his Disk to reject the Grim Reaper’s influence.  92′s fun with Pegasus making another cameo–this time, actually dueling–and the premise being that Chronos and Napoleon thought Samejima fired them when he was just frustrated was up GX’s humor alley–though it is interesting Toon Kingdom didn’t come out in the card game until long after GX (I liked the shot of it as we see Toon Red Archery Girl, Toon Summoned Daemon, and the other Toons he used in DM as a nice homage).  Pegasus’ll still have some time in S2 and S3, related to the plot Samejima thought about early in the episode, so he’ll be back.  Kind of a shame they didn’t make a GX remix for his Toon World theme from DM though, lol; points to the dub for using theirs.  (Tachibana’s voice in the dub was also really good.)

Edit-wise, both episodes had a fair amount of fixes I applied, mostly on the card error and quality-of-watching end (including some interesting split-screen issues), but there were 2-3 bigger ones I was able to make work; due to Tumblr’s dumb link limit in posts yeeting them out of the tags used for them and limiting their reach, and since I still wanted a visual element to it, I’ve made a separate post with my usual fix/edit breakdown for the interested!

Anywho, enjoy! These make for a little breather as we get into Judai vs White Asuka next time and some changes to Saiou’s SOLA plans.  Been looking forward to revisiting the next stretch of eps for a while as Season 2 closes on some of its best episodes; should be fun.

TURN-87: Fight, Ojama Trio! (Part 1)

Manjoume faces off with a pro duelist, winning overwhelmingly using the White Knight Swordsman he wields as a member of the Society of Light.  Seeing that Judai was watching his duel, Manjoume requests a bout with him, but Judai notices that the Ojama Trio aren’t in Manjoume’s deck.  He tracks down the Ojama Trio’s cards, knowing that Manjoume cared for them, and thinks of using their cards to try and return Manjoume to normal.  And so, with the Ojama Trio in tow, Judai and Manjoume duel at last.

TURN-88: Fight, Ojama Trio! (Part 2)

As a member of the Society of Light, Manjoume uses the White Knight Lord card entrusted to him by Saiou to pummel Judai incessantly.  Meanwhile, Judai fights defensively, using the Ojama Trio cards that Manjoume had cared for.  Despite all the attacks he takes, Judai presses on with the Ojama Trio, who appeal to Manjoume about the fact that they were friends.  And then… seeing the rough state the Ojama Trio have been beaten into, Manjoume at last comes to his senses.

(EDIT, 3/9/23: Re-uploaded 88 to correct a sub typo I missed before Judai uses Mystic Wok, and also updated “Cyber Dark Horn” in the preview to “Cyberdark Horn” to match its use in 89.)

My subs for 87 and 88 are now revised and finalized as we get 2023 underway, and it’s a pretty good duo of episodes.  Judai and Manjoume finally have a rematch to settle their score–well, they would if Manjoume remembered what that score was–and in the process, Judai works to snap him out of his Society of Light brainwashing by using the Ojamas.  Of course, he promptly gets thrown under the bus by them once it works, but they did fight hard to save him; Judai even said stuff that was kinda touching! I do still like the bit where Judai tells Manjoume how angry he is with himself that he couldn’t even tell that his friends lost and were in such dire straits that they joined the SoL (a shame the dub wrote that out), and Ojama Yellow–as beat-up as he is–pleading with Manjoume to remember them before he eventually reclaims his sense of self is such a good scene, between Mariko Nagahama’s acting, the music, and the pained “Manjoume…” (ie, “Listen to the guy…”) from Judai in response.  I also do love how Manjoume’s all “If they want to be clean, I’ll be the thorn in their side soiling things a little!” [paraphrasing], as well as the theme of having been through so much of life’s mud that of course no one would come out unstained.  (Also unfortunate that the dub decides to replace his montage of said stains and the Ojamas helping him overcome them with a focus on Society of Light stuff.)

(Also, fun fact: both episodes were screenwritten by Shin Yoshida, who does get some ire in other parts of the franchise, but in GX it’s interesting that he’s actually the screenwriter for a lot of the fan-favorite episodes [he also goes on to write Dark Johan vs Ryou in Season 3, for example]; his writing both helps them feel cohesive. [They had the same Storyboarder in Noriyoshi Nakamura, too.])

Editing-wise, not as many animation/card fixes as I did for 85 and 86, but there were still a fair amount for these two, and 88 did get more in the way of card error fixes.  All told, I fixed up six errors in 87, and eight in 88.  As always, details under the cut below, if curious!

Enjoy! Next up, will be working on 89 and 90, featuring Hell Kaiser Ryou vs Fubuki (which also sets the stage for Shou’s duel against Ryou in the 90s) and getting a little wine-drunk with Sommelier Parker’s duel against Asuka and more GeneX shenanigans.  Have also been looking forward to 90 specifically to re-do one of my earliest on-screen translation edits with the better editing skills I have now, so stay tuned for that. :)

(Check out my Subbed!GX Stream Masterpost!)

TURN-89: The Hell Kaiser vs Darkness Fubuki

Ryou, now the Hell Kaiser, has returned to the Academia to take part in GeneX.  His best friend Fubuki, scoping out the situation, decides to confront the Hell Kaiser, hoping to return the favor after he had helped save him from his fall to the dark side before.  At last, Fubuki and Hell Kaiser begin their duel, and Fubuki intentionally uses the power of Darkness, summoning Red-Eyes Black Dragon.  Meanwhile, the Hell Kaiser uses…

TURN-90: The Academia’s Pride

Chronos and Vice-Principal Napoleon, anxious about the Academia’s reputation worsening as their students lose to Pro Duelists, get certain characters to take part in GeneX–as their secret weapons.  Meanwhile, Junko and Momoe were dueling the Pro Duelist Sommelier Parker, and just as they were about to surrender their tough bout, Asuka, thought to have entered the Society of Light, appears.  Asuka then takes over Junko and Momoe’s duel and takes on the Sommelier.

Next duo of episodes is finalized~

Episodes 89 and 90 are a good time; 89 explores more of Ryou’s personality shift (and how sinking so low fighting with his ideals and then discarding them to actually think of winning now has him obsessed with the feeling that comes with it) and the new Cyberdark deck he took from Samejima, along with showing that Darkness is still very much around despite his defeat to Judai in S1 (mainly because for some reason Fubuki kept the card he was trapped in around, though I suppose logically to avoid Darkness potentially getting to someone else lol) which’ll come into play again in Season 4 (better than never, really).  90′s a fun time with more of the tournament currently going on playing out, we get to see Taizan and Motegi again which is nice, and Asuka shows some of her pre-SoL personality is still in there, like with Manjoume.  Also nice to hear Camula’s Theme again as she takes out Sommelier Parker.  The flashback scene with Ryou and Fubuki is also nice (”Just as this lighthouse guides ships at night, everyone’s feelings were the glow that brought me back”) and it would’ve been nice to get that properly after Fubuki recovered, but it works well here.

Editing-wise, there wasn’t too much to fix in 89, though there was a unique one that I wanted to do my best to fix; 90 saw a bunch of card fixes along with one or two quality-of-watching fixes, plus a big translation edit revamping one of the first on-screen ones I’d done when I first subbed episode 90 back around 2012 that looks pretty good now, if I may say so myself, lol.  Details below the cut, as usual, for the interested!

(As a side-note, Sangre Guerrero in 90 is… interesting; the credits list his name as “サンブレ・ゲレロ”/“sanbure guerrero”/”Sombre Guerrero,” which is what I’d originally used, but then I saw Crunchyroll go with “Sangre,” which isn’t what the katakana would back up [”sangure”]–but the more I listened to Manjoume saying his name, the more it did in fact sound like “Sangre.” It wouldn’t be the first time I’d run into a typo in the ending credits–a lot of the animation staff tend to have typos on their names every so often, so it takes me a fair bit of looking into which spellings end up sticking later in the series to decide on consistency–but it was a potential first for a character name, and Japanese Wikipedia and most sites, along with Yugipedia, had spelled it as “sanbure” pulling from the credits.  Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a profile on the official YGO site, and I don’t think he’d had one on any official Japanese one to verify, being such a minor character.  But “sangre” would make sense given his “hot Latino blood” line [”sangre” being Spanish for “blood”], so, given all that, I went with “Sangre” as well. 

Also, I did end up finally catching that the name for Junko’s VA is Tomomi Yachi and not Tomomi Taniuchi as I’d been using per AnimeNewsNetwork; I was hoping that “Yachi” could’ve been a more recent change, but I clicked into her JP Wikipedia page and saw her blogs going back to the time GX was airing in the mid-00s referencing “Yachi,” and Yugipedia does have “Yachi” too, so… going with that now.  I might decide to revise her other episodes, but having lost my OP/EN credit sub files for S1 and early S2, and given she only finally spoke again in 90 after not doing so for… over 30 episodes, I might just end up leaving it.)

Anywho, enjoy, folks–91 and 92 are on tap for next time, ft. our Grim Reaper one-hit card-slinging-slasher one-off, and Pegasus actually dueling as Chronos and Napoleon duel him for a job worrying they might be fired; should be fun to revisit!

All right, so with everything up-and-loaded over on Cloudy Videa, the downside is that they don’t have a playlist function to 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]

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 to show support for the official release.  You can also just have their video playing on a muted tab while you watch my version! (As of Fall 2022, it seems Crunchyroll has put their YGO uploads behind a paywall, so if you don’t have Crunchyroll Premium, you’re unable to fully view them.  Unfortunate choice on their part, imo, given it’s currently the only place to view officially subbed episodes, but welp.)

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

LATEST UPDATE (2/26/23): Finalized!Episodes 1-90 now on the list, with 89 and 90 newly finalized.  Closing in on the last fourth of Season 2 to finalize, so stay tuned as we revisit these!

PREVIOUS UPDATE (1/21/23): Happy 2023! Finalized!Episodes 1-88 now on the list, with 87 and 88 newly finalized.  Also reuploaded episodes 75, 82, 83, and 86 to mostly correct some more minor script inconsistencies (see the corresponding reblog for a quick rundown), and corrected a recently-updated link or two that I noticed erroneously linked to different episodes.

(Also slowed down the gif below since I’ve seen folks tag it due to the flashing; thanks again to ynminor for providing it a while back! Also removed the torrent link because the site’s now dead; may upload a new one at some point.)

(Also, I’ve created a supplement to this post linking to the finalized episodes’ release posts on my blog–these will contain Translation Notes that it’d be worth knowing [also on-screen translations that were done] or Animation Fixes I’ve worked on; if none were done, I didn’t link them. Just in case you’re curious about any episode release notes!)

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