GX 59 (WIP) - Fated Mishaps

Just to show off the card/animation fixes I’ve worked on for this episode, which is part of why my double-release for 58 and 59 has taken a bit longer to handle lol–it’s been a while since there were this many! I’ll break them down individually when I release the episode, but there were a few more that aren’t shown here, which were mainly cropping out some slight black lines there were in a few scenes.

Otherwise, from Judai’s mouth over his sweeping hand to Diehardguy missing for two frames as the split-screen starts to split away, and Judai’s eyes being miscolored and the card fixes in between, it took me just a bit over a week to get these all handled (after I handled a few and thought I was done, I’d noticed some more to fix lol).  Will say, for the fixes involving Featherman and Diamondguy’s places on Ed’s Duel Disk, these were done more for consistency with later scenes–Diamondguy being in Zone #3 doesn’t match with Dreadguy being there later (as Saiou’s power runs through it) since Diamondguy never leaves the field, so I moved it to Zone #4 as of the scene where Necroid Shaman sends Diehardguy to his Cemetery to bring Featherman back to make it work; I moved Featherman to Zone #1 because with Dreadguy in Zone #3 later and Devilguy and Diehardguy coming back to Zones #1 and #2, and with Featherman not appearing in the visible Zones as Ed sends his Spells to his Cemetery to get back Misfortune, it’s the only logical place for it to be given his placement on Ed’s field.

For what it’s worth, the dub caught the Featherman thing and fixed it to–just kidding:

(Replacing Avian with Clayman happened a couple of times in the dub, as I leafed through the Crunchyroll upload, which of course gave us the infamous “Yellow Gadget in Judai’s deck” error)

Anywho, now that these fixes are done, I’ll be getting to work on editing the episode’s script, and should have that done in a few days, after which I’ll work on releasing both 58 and 59!

(Bonus: I’m always amused when the Japanese cards make it through to the dub, haha:)
