Yuya: *opts to not go into DRXD bc "if I use them all, not only will Zarc wake up in Reira, but it could affect Ray and Yuzu, Ruri and the others!”*
Jack: “I activate Red Crystal, so my Red Monster isn’t destroyed this turn!”
Yuya:
-
Always nice to see the classics.
-
Red Daemon’s already, eh?
Also loving the background and the little blurring effects going on in there. And this being like the Yusei VS JACK finale in 5D’s where we swing by places we’ve seen during the duel is a neat parallel.

A wild Crow appeared! Holding Yuya’s D-Wheel and Riding Suit/Helmet! Answering my question!
“Tokumatsu and the kids can’t wait!”/”Then, they’re…”/*cut to a stadium full of people* this is going to be grand-scale enterduelment
-
“I’ll help, as well. I’ve prepared a special Riding Course for you and JACK. I call it the ‘Dimension Highway!’”
Well, that answers that. sasuga reiji

“Due to taking in Zarc, if she can laugh after losing her smile, it’ll essentially mean that Zarc’s evil soul has been purified”
“if she can laugh after losing her smile”
“if she”
“she”
-
“If you want to accomplish something, don’t falter!”
HE SAID THE THING

Not even into the episode yet, and between Yuya’s D-Wheel and a City-style Duel Lane in Fusion
(”What do Jack’s words mean…?! The curtain once again rises on a duel between the two!”)

So, 144 was a fun episode, especially in light of this post by Kahun on NAC about the symbolism in what Dennis and Yuya were doing. While I do wish his thing from 114 was acknowledged as part of his development this episode (maybe a monologue or something, to address your reply, @blueeyeswhitegarden), I think it came out pretty well, and his sendoff with teaching the kids Yusho-style “Enterduelment” was a nice touch. Shows that, yeah, Yuya’s moving out of his dad’s shadow, and gives Dennis a great chance to atone and get Heartland closer to peace and moving onward. It didn’t click at first with my first watch earlier that Ed was alluding to Dennis acting, but catching it the second time around with the HQ raw, it made sense. Him going from Fusion to Xyz was a good symbolic touch that showed to the Heartlanders that he’d changed.
The duel was fun too, and I found it funny how Trapeze Magician–or his Rank-Up, I forget–kept Yuya from that one Action Card. And I like how they used him jumping down below the screen to grab that Miracle that he uses near the end. Not sure how I feel about Yuya using a card with him in the art lol (besides awww), but I liked the combo. But what I especially loved were those shots of Yuya Pendulum Summoning, but, like, the shot before the stock footage seamlessly transitioned into it (and if someone could gif those, that’d be great!). After last episode’s jarring switch from him facing left and rollerblading to PENDULUM SHOUKAN, it was refreshing. The entire episode looked pretty great too, and I also noticed they used part of that shot of Yuya rollerblading from OP5, so I think that was a shot Yokota might’ve worked on.Also, the duel starting with “Wavering Feelings” playing (that’s my jam), and that Action Duel theme during that one turn… The music was on-point this episode.
Hopefully Shun gets a good sendoff too, and I like that we’re getting some more much-needed childhood flashbacks of him and Ruri (who so casually uses Mirror Force and Shun’s smiling but he’s probably screaming internally). And Gil-bo Noh should at least make it as much of a visual treat as this episode.
-
That was a cute sendoff for Dennis, but they reaaally should’ve acknowledged that thing he did in 114…

“RANNYUU PENARUTII NISEN POINTO”
Ok but Yusho pinning Yuya down with that card tho. It’s like an exorcism on his son… But apparently it’s a Real Solid Vision card they made to not fade away after a duel ends, and it jams the system? I couldn’t catch much of what it told Reiji as it forced the duel to end, lol.
And he leaves Yuzu and co to Reiji while he tries to not let Yuya become a devil. Will he make it to Yuri and Yugo in time though?
-
- Yuya: *about to rage out an attack*
- Yuzu: Smile like you always do! I believe in you and Yuto!
- Selena: I believe in you, too.
- Yuya: *almost back to normal*
- Lackey: ARC-V's energy is at over 40%
- Leo: Good, now hurry it up!
- Girls: *start disappearing*
- Yuya's anger: *breaks*
-
So, Leo’s Fusion Trap almost makes Yuyarc wipe Reiji out because it flips the usual “I take damage even though it’s my opponent’s monster” situation… Jerk move, Leo.
