It’s officially been long enough, so I can finally share my piece for the Heart and Soul YGO Zine organized by @aygozineproduction publicly!!! Carly is one of my favorite 5ds characters, so it was a joy to be able to draw her and some of her cards.🖤✨Everyone over there was super friendly and wonderful to work with! ^_^
So, work on dub-uncut!5D’s episode 29’s been coming along well, I’ve gotten the dialogue and music drafted, so now I’ve been going back and adjusting audio levels and adding back SFX; currently up to the commercial break on this front, and I figured now’s a good time to show it off a little bit. I haven’t shown off how I translated the Showcase/Noteworthy Cards segment at the beginning, so there’s that (and I managed to use some Duel Links lines for the twins to try and translate their original lines, recycling how I handled “check out the show for more!” in 27 [but I noticed after upload that Sony Vegas botched my mask for Rua on top of the English banner so some of the Japanese is visible… Will fix this before release]), and then I used some Duel Links lines to get Trudge’s dialogue in the cold open more accurate to the Japanese script and dial down the whole in-your-faceness of him working with Yusei rather than Yusei willingly letting Ushio take him to Godwin; as that was already established at the end of 28 since I couldn’t edit around it, thought I’d be able to do something here.
Also thought, since this is the last full episode I’ll be doing (for now), that I’d work in Mark de Groot’s awesome English Last Train - A New Morning cover, so there’s a preview of that, as well. Then there’s the Carly scene, which uses a pitched-up/sped-up version of Carly’s theme which took some playing around to get recreated just right; just need to grab the SFX that plays as Carly’s dejected over her fortune to get it sounding right. Also worked in some Duel Links lines to do a good translation of the line about Fortune Fairy Sui’s fortune, and had to work in some more to cover for the commercial break the dub has between Carly getting her second wind and the Road of the King/Atlas Rising red-carpet event (and I’ll also try to translate the poster for this).
O souls of the dead who lurk in my light of destiny! Grant me the power to lead the dark truth in this protean world! Appear now, Earthbound God Uru!
My favourite arc, by far, has to be the Dark Signer Arc! We get meet so many amazing characters, and get the the larger backstory that helps to kick off 5D’s!
