TURN-91: The Grim Reaper’s One-Turn Kill

Rumors have spread of a duelist taking part in GeneX who defeats his opponents in one turn.  This turns out to be Tachibana, who gained his drawing power through a pact with a Grim Reaper card.  Judai ends up dueling Tachibana, who’s sold his soul to the Grim Reaper, and with the start of their duel, Tachibana draws his “One-Hit Knockout! Slash Draw” Magic Card and comes at Judai with his One-Turn Kill. Can Judai possibly…

TURN-92: The Triangle Duel

As word goes around that rank-and-file Instructor Chronos and Vice-Principal Napoleon are being “fired,” Principal Samejima shouts “Get out of here!” at them.  They were both disheartened, but they happen to catch Chairman Pegasus of Industrial Illusions, Inc., on his way to visit Principal Samejima, and they ask for employment with I2.  Pegasus says he will approve their employment if they somehow defeat him in a duel, and so starts a Triangle Duel between Pegasus, Chronos, and Napoleon.  Can Chronos and Napoleon hope to…

*Pegasus voice* I give you finalized!91 and 92! deeeesu

Slight delay in finalizing these aside, these episodes aren’t too bad; some continuity with the Duel Academia’s North Campus in Tachibana and his struggle to make the decks he cares about work, making him turn to a Grim Reaper spirit promising to improve his drawing ability–at the cost of his soul. Works well enough for a one-shot episode in GX, nice seeing another One-Turn Kill strategy after Ojin’s in 84, plus the animation looks really good throughout, along with “Impossible Victory” being used as Tachibana switches arms with his Disk to reject the Grim Reaper’s influence.  92′s fun with Pegasus making another cameo–this time, actually dueling–and the premise being that Chronos and Napoleon thought Samejima fired them when he was just frustrated was up GX’s humor alley–though it is interesting Toon Kingdom didn’t come out in the card game until long after GX (I liked the shot of it as we see Toon Red Archery Girl, Toon Summoned Daemon, and the other Toons he used in DM as a nice homage).  Pegasus’ll still have some time in S2 and S3, related to the plot Samejima thought about early in the episode, so he’ll be back.  Kind of a shame they didn’t make a GX remix for his Toon World theme from DM though, lol; points to the dub for using theirs.  (Tachibana’s voice in the dub was also really good.)

Edit-wise, both episodes had a fair amount of fixes I applied, mostly on the card error and quality-of-watching end (including some interesting split-screen issues), but there were 2-3 bigger ones I was able to make work; due to Tumblr’s dumb link limit in posts yeeting them out of the tags used for them and limiting their reach, and since I still wanted a visual element to it, I’ve made a separate post with my usual fix/edit breakdown for the interested!

Anywho, enjoy! These make for a little breather as we get into Judai vs White Asuka next time and some changes to Saiou’s SOLA plans.  Been looking forward to revisiting the next stretch of eps for a while as Season 2 closes on some of its best episodes; should be fun.

GX Finalized-Subs!91 - A Strapping Issue #419

Follow-up to this more-of-a-shitpost highlighting this animation error (and the dub’s… take) for easy linking/reference in my upcoming GX 91 and 92 release post; showing off the fixes I made here to Burstlady’s semi-recurring missing shoulder strap! Haven’t had one of these pop up in a while, lol.

Essentially went into Photoshop with each of these frames and drew on the full strap, using the inner outline on her shoulder as a guide–the first four frames here are back-to-back as Burstlady was lit up (I also redrew some of the light lines over the new strap for blending), with the next three being back-to-back as the lighting dims down, then the next one was one movement frame lasting two frames, and the ninth keeps her still as she flies closer to Featherman to fuse (as I threw these fixes back into the video, I keyframed this one to re-zoom Burstlady out as she flew upward, then masked it so the edit itself was blended into the video and moved with her); each frame after as they start to is a frame long and I stopped once Burstlady is fully mixed in (since they’re only a frame long, she’s a bit hard to really see anyway, but for completion’s sake and all). For the frames where she was lit up, I first drew on the strap in one frame, then copy/pasted the layers involved and redrew some light lines/adjusted for brightness to match the lighting as needed.

Here’s a quick gif of the scene in action; think it came out nicely!

This intro is probably my favourite tbh. Song-wise and visuals-wise.
