it’s the only shonen anime where you can see a flying furry ball and a gem cat gaze at one another with concern, as we see the mc and his “friend” smile at each other in front of a shoujo romance background.
Tyranno Kenzan, the best of the Yellow freshman class, challenges Judai to a duel. Originally heading a group of delinquents, Kenzan hopes to defeat Judai and prove himself as an icon at the Academia. Out of a love of dinosaurs, Kenzan uses a Dinosaur deck. With his Jurassic World Field Magic, he powers up his Dinosaur-Types and Winged-Beast-Types as Trap effects bounce off of them. In addition, his Revised Ultra Evolution Pill evolves his Archaopteryx Archeonys into Dark Tyranno (ATK/ 2900), startling Judai…
Heya, took a bit longer than I was planning to once I finished 54 since some things came up, but here’s a finalized 55 for you! This was a fun one to go back to and revisit Kenzan’s backstory as a guy who didn’t know how to captivate the people he’d be a leader to; he sees Judai’s command of an audience and enthusiasm knowing he still has potential to turn things around in the bleakest times, and decides to learn from him and evolve–to Shou’s chagrin. (A bit of foreshadowing there too, as Johan in Season 3 makes a note of this trait of Judai’s during his duel with O’Brien.)
There were some card fixes I worked on and I re-translated a sign I did in 54 for consistency, but overall the workload was much lower than in 54 after working on that poster, haha. Breakdown below the cut, as usual. And since the duel’s finale showed up in 156 which I’ve already revised, it was a bit less work on the script there, too.
Enjoy, folks! With 55 done, I think I’ll be working on both getting 56 ready but also working more on my 5D’s “Dub-Uncut” take on 27, which I’ve already gotten some work done on; I’ve drafted most of the dialogue and recreated the music up to Yusei’s duel with possessed!Dick starting. The alternate “Dark Signers” track that’s played is interesting to listen to, too… Stay tuned!
