GX Finalized-Subs!81 (WIP) - Sleepless in Yamanote
With the fixes and stuff I’ve finished up for 80, I’ve now started working on stuff for episode 81 before I work on revising both episodes’ scripts. As part of that, I’m hitting the one to-do list item I flagged for myself back in 2020 and translating the 2chan-like thread that Shou/Judai and Kanda are looking at (Shou and Judai through Shou’s PDA in images 1 and 2, Kanda through his laptop on images 3-6).
UPDATE: These (and the other fixes I worked on for 81) are finished up! Final results below, in order per above:
Opted to put the usernames in bold and italicize the timestamps to differentiate them from the post text, and then yeah, masked Kanda’s arm/fingers over his translated laptop screen, along with the screen flickering I added back. Came out pretty well, I think!

Just finished working on all of the animation/card fixes I noticed for episode 80 (about nine altogether, half quality-of-viewing stuff like fixing split-screens, half card-related fixes) and wanted to show these two off; the first one in the first three gifs I’d say took most of the week to work on, lol. This is the first card fix I’ve applied in a scene like this too, where you have those visual effects going on Alice and the card itself. The first shot (the first three gifs) happens as Alice the Wandering Doll’s effect puts it onto Judai’s field, while in the second (the second set of three gifs), duelist Alice attacked into it to trigger its effect and send it back to her field. The third one (in the last set) has her being attacked on duelist Alice’s field by Judai’s Rallis the Stargazing Bird in nine quick frames before she explodes.
In each row, the first gif is the original, my edit is the second gif, and the third is how the dub handled it just for fun; the goal here was to flip Alice the Wandering Doll’s card so that its name box was on the left (as that’s how the cards are placed on Disks in Defense Mode, plus we see it facing that way in later shots), and while the dub does fix that (except for the third scene), you’ll notice in the first two scenes that they altered the way Alice gets onto and out of Judai’s field here to do it–it looks like they might’ve first applied the dubified card under Alice, masked her back over it, and then masked both her and the card out as one layer to then apply the transition/warping effect they do over both; I can imagine they were a bit limited in how they could deal with these if they don’t have direct access to the card layers like they seem to for ARC-V and VRAINS’s dub.
“If this card is Special Summoned: You can discard 1 card, and if you do, send 1 ‘Fossil’ Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to the GY. You can send this card from the field to the GY; inflict 500 damage to your opponent, then, if ‘Fossil Fusion’ is in your GY, you can return to your GY, 1 of your banished cards that is ‘Fossil Fusion’ or mentions it. You can only use each effect of ‘Flint Cragger’ once per turn.”
