kaiser in tag force 3 !!
+ my thoughts 🫶

someone pls explain kaiser’s thing with “respect”
i care him so much but it’s the one thing abt him i don’t understand that well 💔💔
sorry for reblogging i couldn’t fit this all into a reply ;_; just my 2 cents!
everything tessa said and also i believe his “respectful dueling” means honoring his opponent and playing fairly (not killing people with chimeratech overdragon) as well as respecting himself and his own deck (samejima absolutely flipped shit when he sacrificed cyber dragon to win in their duel on the mountain - pre-meltdown ryo absolutely would never have sacrificed his cyber dragons because they’re his trusted partners)
something that also stands out to me is that in his duel with fubuki when he discards 30 cards at once, fubuki gets visibly upset about it because that is disrespecting his deck. he didn’t need to do that! i think fubuki even says something like “you threw away your cards like they were trash”. at this point ryo only cares about winning, not about the value he had previously placed on his deck. he’s a really interesting foil to judai, because judai also treats his monsters like his friends, and it takes the death of his real-life friends for him to snap as much as kaiser did
Yep, yep. In addition,

- #lots of good stuff here!
- #had it in mind to mention Saruyama's 'You haven't even thought about winning have you?'
- #since by this point he's at his lowest point yet still making respectful dueling--what Samejima instilled into him--work
- #so that one question combined with the survival situation shifted his priorities
- #and then there's his mellowing out with Shou in S3 and realizing that it does still have a place
- #and wants to have one last duel with someone worthy

happy birthday to them all!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Episodes 82 & 83 Subbed (Finalized)
(Previously: Episodes 80-81 Subbed [Finalized])
(Check out my Subbed!GX Stream Masterpost!)
As a consequence of being the only one uninvited by the Society of Light, Misawa anxiously wonders if he is being thought of as weak. He confronts Saiou himself, who says that he will leave the island if beaten in a duel, but Manjoume duels Misawa in his stead. Manjoume fuses his three new Union Monsters to summon “Assault Cannon Beetle” (ATK/ 2800), using the Ojamas as bullets to reduce Misawa’s LP down to 1600. Misawa’s intellectual “focus ahead” plays get him far, but…
In search of a powerful, locked-away deck, Hell Kaiser Ryou pays a visit to his old Cyber Style Dueling Master–one Principal Samejima–and the teacher and student duel. Ryou summons Cyber End Dragon right off the bat, but Samejima defends himself with a copy of his Monster. Playing to the “soft and fair goes far” proverb, Samejima’s Cyber Ogre absorbs the ATK of Ryou’s Monster, its own ATK reaching 4000, but Ryou evades that using Cyber Laser Dragon. Samejima snatches Ryou’s Cyber End Dragon with a Trap Card, leading to his final decisive moves…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Episodes 82 and 83 are now finalized! Misawa’s anxiety over the way he’s perceived leads him to join the Society of Light, while Ryou decides he’s come as far as he can with just Cyber End and visits his dojo-master-turned-Principal Samejima for some secret cards. Manjoume’s Beetrons were actually neat, and while I’m sure I was doubtful of how Misawa joining the SOL made sense years back, I do think it does now given the context of Misawa’s wanting recognition and not being the odd man out (and Ed’s putting it into words also puts a different lens on his early Season 1 self). For 83, admittedly the Cyber Style stuff does come a bit out of nowhere (the Japanese blog I reference for lines occasionally also thought so lol), but it’s believable enough for GX, and does give us some more background on Ryou’s childhood to juxtapose with his current “I only need victory, respect be damned” self. Samejima finally making his return after Season 1 as his dojo master was also a bit cool, ngl, and hey, turns out he was working on our upcoming tournament arc!
Had a few animation/card and other quality-of-watching fixes I handled for each episode, hence the slight delay, and for 83′s hardsub, I also translated an article Shou was reading about Ryou’s rise as Hell Kaiser. Details below the cut, as usual, for the curious.
Enjoy, folks–with these done and the GeneX arc about to start, I think the next release will just be episode 84 to set it up and also take a light breather, and then I’ll resume my catch-up double-releases with 85 and 86, which’ll coincide with an update to the OP (plus, that way I also don’t leave half of Judai vs Manjoume or Judai vs Asuka hanging on a cliff later lol). Stay tuned!

GX Finalized-Subs!83 (WIP): A Documented Comeback
Just about done prepping things for finalized!82 and 83 before I work on revising their scripts (having done a couple of card-related animation fixes and a few other lighter ones), and one such thing is wanting to translate this article about Ryou’s rise as the Hell Kaiser, which Shou reads at the end of 83. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to, since the text was a bit too blurred for me to fully make out, but luckily, some Japanese fans were able to fully transcribe what was visible here–I worked with the transcription written up here–so things were a go.
I blanked the text in Photoshop and then applied the translated text, giving it a slight warp and rotation to work with the curve on the page before adding a light blur and some noise (said slight warp/rotation is why some of the spacing looks a bit odd–did my best to account for that lol). Unfortunately, I didn’t have too much to work with for the page on the left, just barely making out something about dueling metaphysics[?], so rather than leave it blank, I typed some mostly-offscreen fluff about pro duelists having to juggle the state of the game’s meta and their decks needing to be competitive with entertaining the crowds. Seems like the kind of piece you’d read here, lol.
Just have to work this into the footage now–and I just realized I applied the edits here to the last frame of the slow zoom-in that happens here, so hopefully it’s not too difficult to readjust… lol–and we should be good to go; I’ll add an update once I do.
Included the dub edit because it’s just amusing to think about someone literally publishing scribbles in what looks like dueling’s equivalent of Sports Illustrated and not being fired on the spot, lol.
Full text below (though I did fluff my initial translation a little bit just to make sure the relevant parts are visible as they were originally, moreso near the end, and it trails off as that’s all that was visible–similarly, the “[X] of Hell” was all that was visible for the title originally (jigoku no [Shou’s thumb]), but as Ryou’s referred to as the Emperor of Hell earlier in the episode, I figured that was used here, too):
