(Previously: Episodes 73 and 74 Subbed [Finalized])
(Check out my Subbed!GX Stream Masterpost!)
For their field trip, the students of the Academia head to Domino Town, the holy dueling land known for producing the likes of Yugi Mutou and Seto Kaiba. Judai and his friends visit Yugi’s childhood house, where they meet Mr. Sugoroku. While exploring the town, Sugoroku is kidnapped–and while Shou and Kenzan argue as they look for him, they are challenged to a Tag Duel by an assassin duo from the Society of Light: Ikazuchimaru and Kourimaru. Kenzan’s dinosaur Monsters find themselves powered down by Mobius Castle as he’s dealt the first blow…
Shou and Kenzan’s Tag Duel versus Ikazuchimaru and Kourimaru continues. Ikazuchimaru and Kourimaru are powerful despite their being on bad terms with each other, whittling Shou and Kenzan’s LP down to 1000 early on. Kenzan’s dinosaur Monsters don’t match well with Kourimaru’s Ice deck, while Shou’s vehicle Monsters are stalled by Ikazuchimaru’s System Down and Rampage Condenser Magic Cards. But for all of Shou and Kenzan’s arguing, they start working together once they realize that their losing would cause trouble for Judai.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Episodes 75 and 76 are now finalized!
These two episodes start off our Domino mini-arc, as the Academia goes on a field trip to the land of dueling legend–which picks up on plot elements that were going to be included in the canned Yu-Gi-Oh! VS GX movie Takahashi had pitched at one point but were reworked into GX Season 2′s story. 75 introduces us to Mizuchi right off the bat (credited as “Shrine Maiden” for only this episode’s credits) and, after we take a trip down memory lane with Sugoroku while Ed and Saiou’s friendship starts to show some cracks, it’s revealed to Shou and Kenzan that she’s related to Saiou.
Through both episodes, we also get some closure on the Shou/Kenzan feuding over Big Bro Judai, after Kenzan reveals he would’ve won if he didn’t feel bad for beating Shou while he was down, and after a rocky start to their Tag Duel vs Ikazuchi/Kourimaru, they come back and put their egos aside to keep Judai from having to deal with them. Ultimately, it’s a futile effort thanks to the Mirror of Duality that Kourimaru activates, but a good one nonetheless. Also do like the Marus’ designs, and it was cool at the time back in 2006 to see the original Monarchs make their anime debut. 76 also has some nice art to it, being a Tea Sun In animation-team episode (and Gil-bo No chipping in with some good key animation), so it’s a fun watch.
In terms of animation and other fixes, 75 and 76 both had a handful of card fixes, while 76 had more in the way of animation error fixes and other quality-of-watching things. As I mentioned before, I also translated the guidebooks Sugoroku wrote held by Shou and Kenzan early in ep. 75 for the eight scenes they appear in. Details under the cut, as always, along with a Translation Note for 75 involving one of Mizuchi’s scenes.
Enjoy, folks; for the next release, I want to get 77-79 out together for a triple treat to avoid just releasing 77 for a cliffhanger, lol. That’ll get us through the Iwamaru duel (poor Honoumaru being shafted) and Judai/Ed vs Mizuchi to close out this mini-arc. Stay tuned!






GX Finalized-Subs!75 - Field Trip Sights (Final)
For my finalized episode 75 subs, I translated the front cover of the town guidebooks held by Shou and Kenzan in the eight scenes it’s visible in. I first blanked it and applied the translations in the second-to-last shot it’s in–the closeup as the two show them to Sugoroku, which I also used for 75′s preview in ep. 74–then isolated it to manipulate into the other scenes, mainly using AfterEffects’s CC Power Pin effect and then masking in the right side of the original cover (with the landmark photos, but above the bottom “Legendary Duelists’ Stomping Grounds” text) on top to make it blend in.
(Bonus: little tidbit I noticed with those first two scenes)
GX Finalized-Subs!76 (WIP)
Working on a fix to this error with the red orb on Kenzan’s Disk not being lit up as Shou worries about his summoning Element Saurus; the first is the original frame (the orb being drawn as unlit happens over three zoom-out frames of Kenzan’s movement, held for three frames each [so nine total–what I did is I just edited the third zoomed-out frames then re-zoomed them]), second image is my edit (done by just screen-layering a lit-up red layer around the orb [color-dropped from the third image]), and the third image [unedited] is his Disk as it appears once it’s lit up properly.
But really just sharing this because

Shou’s face lol
[Also, just an update: both episodes 75 and 76′s scripts are fully revised; just doing a couple quick-ish fixes for errors I picked up on as I worked on 76, then I’ll quality-check ‘em. Should probably be ready this weekend, if not sooner; depends how much I do on this week off from work, lol.]
yeah baby
