someone pls explain kaiser’s thing with “respect”

i care him so much but it’s the one thing abt him i don’t understand that well 💔💔

sorry for reblogging i couldn’t fit this all into a reply ;_; just my 2 cents!

Keep reading

everything tessa said and also i believe his “respectful dueling” means honoring his opponent and playing fairly (not killing people with chimeratech overdragon) as well as respecting himself and his own deck (samejima absolutely flipped shit when he sacrificed cyber dragon to win in their duel on the mountain - pre-meltdown ryo absolutely would never have sacrificed his cyber dragons because they’re his trusted partners)

something that also stands out to me is that in his duel with fubuki when he discards 30 cards at once, fubuki gets visibly upset about it because that is disrespecting his deck. he didn’t need to do that! i think fubuki even says something like “you threw away your cards like they were trash”. at this point ryo only cares about winning, not about the value he had previously placed on his deck. he’s a really interesting foil to judai, because judai also treats his monsters like his friends, and it takes the death of his real-life friends for him to snap as much as kaiser did

Yep, yep. In addition,

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Episodes 85 and 86 Subbed (Finalized)

TURN-85: A Wielder of the God Card The Divine Winged Dragon of Ra?!

A researcher named Franz appears before Judai, who learns from Pegasus and Hayato Maeda–who rushed over from I2 (Industrial Illusions, Inc.)–of his employment with I2 and the threat he poses by using a copy of the strongest card, The Divine Winged Dragon of Ra. Judai and Franz duel, and right as they start, he summons The Divine Winged Dragon of Ra. By all rights, he should incur a punishment from the God, but he controls said God with the Mound of the Bound Deity Magic Card he himself created. It all comes down to the Skyscraper 2 – Hero City Field Magic that Hayato designed for Judai.

TURN-86: The Runway of Dueling

Just as Judai laments his lack of competition, a drum is suddenly struck amid a flurry of cherry blossoms–from which a pro duelist named Kabukid enters the scene, clad in kabuki clothing, and challenges Judai to a duel. Claiming that pro dueling is about dueling to entertain the audience, Kabukid activates his Kabuki Stage – Great Bridge Field Magic to set a flashy stage. Harboring some doubts about such flashy dueling, Judai…

(EDIT, 1/21/23: Reuploaded 86 with an additional card error fix, as I missed an earlier instance of Dramatic Pose in Kabukid’s hand after its activation that should’ve been New Year Drum; see #3 in the list below if curious.)

Just narrowly missed getting these out in time for Christmas, but episodes 85 and 86 are finalized! Hope everyone’s having a gentle holiday season, and hopefully these help a bit as these are two of my favorite episodes in Season 2. 85 I definitely remember being pretty hype with Ra–copy or not–showing itself in GX, and both the OST and Pegasus reappearing (as well as some coloring choices in a lot of the scenes to give things a bit more of a grim look [which we saw some of in 82, but it does feel as though the art quality starts to pick up a bit here]) definitely helps add a bit of weight to it. 86 is also a fun one with quite a few Japanese references, and specifically to kabuki theater–so much so that I’d actually popped onto some Japanese-learning forums when first working on 86 back in 2011 for help to decipher some–and has Judai meet someone who’s so into his craft for others that he hadn’t thought of enjoying the process for himself. Definitely is a shame the dub does away with most of the culture nods, understandable as it might be, since the original sound design also adds to the fun feel of the episode, with the drums and vocal interludes here/there, but making Orlando a Broadway actor is probably the best way to adapt Kabukid’s character (though it does make the kabuki callbacks with his deck fall a bit flat). Also got us an OP update as of 85, featuring a disappointed not-Principal Chronos after Samejima’s return [I’ve been waiting to use that new clip since translating the names in the OP as I started finalizing Season 2], as well as one of the few episodes where Judai properly uses Bubbleman’s two effects correctly in 86, lol.)

Interesting as both episodes are, equally interesting (on some level) were some of the animation/card fixes I worked on for them; I fixed up nine errors in 85 and 12 in 86. List below the spoiler, as usual, for the curious! Also including some Translation Notes for 86, as there were a couple of cultural nods throughout.

Enjoy! Next time, it’s a Judai VS Manjoume rematch as Judai tries to undo Saiou’s hold on him, with some help from the O[jama]-Heroes! Shouldn’t stain their friendship too much, hopefully.

Obsessed obsessed with the fact that Edo actually acknowledges Mokuba’s genius in the GX manga!!! I think Mokuba’s consistently overshadowed by Seto, but how many 12 year olds do you know who can hack into global company computers?
