80: Alice in Despairland

A beautiful transfer student named Alice has appeared at the Red dorm.  Kenzan goes crazy about Alice, but a doubtful Misawa comes to know of a puzzling rare card with the same name.*  That night, Judai finds out that Alice immensely detests duelists and is trying to capture Kenzan, leading Judai to duel Alice.  Alice summons zero-ATK doll parts one after another before summoning Doll Chimera, a doll that they haphazardly combine into.  With each attack Doll Chimera takes, its parts increase and its ATK steadily rises…

*This part seems to reference the bit from the end of 79 of Misawa researching the Alice in Despairland card–since this was included in one of these episode spoilers from the time, it looks like it really was cut from the episode more last-minute.

81: A Quiz Duel?! VS Quizzer Panel 9

Kanda the Quiz King, who has secretly fallen in love with Asuka, happens to find Asuka arguing with Judai and challenges him to a duel.  Kanda uses a Quiz deck based around activating the Quiz Hour Permanent Magic.  Once he does, he becomes cheery, as if his personality changed, and with each of Judai’s attacks, he presents him with a challenge as a quiz-show host would.  Judai clears the test-of-strength tasks, but gets the dueling-knowledge challenges completely wrong, causing his LP to fall…

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

Episodes 80 and 81 are now finalized! Two episodes more on the breather side after our Field Trip of Hell, as Judai and co get back to Duel Academia and run into a Duel Spirit from Wonderl–I mean, Despairland, whose card was mistreated and made it want revenge.  I do wonder if there would’ve been more nightmare fuel with the shot that was shown in 79′s TV airing that went unused in this episode, but Doll Chimera is plenty creepy on its own too.  81′s a favorite since the premise of Kanda’s deck is really unique, and I always did wish they’d print his cards, lol.  It’s also interesting because Kanda’s shy love for Asuka and the way he’s all “If you don’t stop this I’ll have to duel you” to Judai, as I mentioned before, is likely inspired by the Densha Otoko/”Train Man” story, down to the forum posts as he asks for love advice.  It was also nice to hear some OST we haven’t heard since Season 1, and Burstlady’s summon animation in this episode is one of my favorites, making her look pretty cool, lol.

Part of the delay here was handling a fair amount of card/animation fixes and translation edits (for 81) between both episodes, including a few big card ones for episode 80; more details below the cut, for the interested. :)

Enjoy, folks! These should be up on NAC in a day or two.  Next time, we’ll be tackling episodes 82 and 83–Misawa wanting to join the Society of Light(?!) and the return of one interesting Principal–so stay tuned for those! Once those are done, we’ll be hitting the GeneX arc of Season 2, which I’m looking forward to revisiting.

GX Finalized-Subs!81 (WIP) - A Strapping Issue (Installment #12 probably)

Meant to try to show this off early last week once I had finished the edit up, but lol got busy and forgot.

So, one of my “favorite” (affectionate) reoccurring animation errors–should go back and check how many of these I have found so far lol–comes in here in episode 81, as Judai has Burstlady attack one of Kanda’s Quiz Panels after the eyecatch. As you can see, in the first clip as Judai declares her attack, Burstlady’s drawn without her shoulder strap connected to the cuff on her arm as she usually is; in the second clip shown, as she fires her Burstfire, not only is her shoulder strap still missing–her shoulder is now colored like the red on her outfit too (this one I don’t think I’ve bumped into too often in the show; I know I fixed an error like that back in the OP1 video).

I fixed these frames in Photoshop, painting in the shoulder strap/cuff combo (and fixing the third frame’s error on the part of her outfit where the coloring of her right breast’s skin cuts into the red part), while also recoloring her shoulder in the second clip’s frames and using the original coloring as a guide to draw on the shoulder strap. For the second clip, I also added a light screen layer to light up the edit as the light from the flames were around it. I think I did a pretty good job keeping it looking consistent throughout, and I figured it’d make sense to keep the cuff highlights as I extended it into the shoulder strap while adding the shading; hopefully it does look good!
