GX 24 - Unused Sponsor Clip Footage

So, I’m getting my next batch of prepwork ready for the next few episodes when this came up.  This is the sponsor bit from episode 24 that shows Manjoume after he’s accepted into the North Campus, on his way to Duel Academia, that doesn’t get used in episode 25–where it should logically, since at the beginning it’s nightfall as he gets his deck–AT ALL for some reason.  And it’s weird since these clips aren’t previews of the next episode until Season 2.  This’ll happen a few times, notably in episode 80′s clip during 79 where the Alice episode looks creepier than it actually ends up being.  (I would’ve loved to see that Misawa scene…)

That said, how to handle this…  Because it’s unused, I’d like to keep it, but the sponsor text is a bit of a problem, seeing as how my other “Thanks for watching!” clips have been recreated/made up to avoid it.  I was going to try to clear the text, but even with stitching the pans->clear text->re-pan, it’d be a lot of work, let alone going frame-by-frame for 240 of them (especially with the moving sky and water).  Which leaves keeping it like this or just making a new one from the episode (and maybe separately uploading this clip on NAC)… But if some brave soul would like to help text-wipe the frames (and I’d be hella grateful), they’d have plenty of time seeing as how I won’t hit this episode for 1-2 or 3 months, haha.  Otherwise, as long as people don’t mind the text, I wouldn’t mind just doing the former, lol.
