Unironically love this fansub going out of its way to point out when the characters are Playing The Card Game Wrong. You’re so right, fansub group from 2006 whose members I will never know. A tribute summon is a normal summon.
Heya, fansub group guy from 2007 today who you now know about! 🙂
Happened to come across this, couldn’t fully tell if the tail end of the post was a little sarcasm–running on low sleep today–but I did want to just note that, while I typically leave side-notes like these for things like quick onscreen translations/etc, I always felt this was worth clarifying due to the error in the Japanese line, where he does say “Special-Summon” (“tokushuu shoukan”) for what’s actually a Normal Summon via Tribute, since it’s not a card’s effect letting him summon Neos. Just so folks watching aren’t too confused, lol.
(Though errors like that are typically dub-side, they can occasionally [though rare] happen on the Japanese side, as well.)
That said, while I have you here, I’d also note that these subs are out of date, since I first started subbing GX with Season 3 going off episode summaries and game knowledge back in late 2007 (with 105 being my first subbed episode, lol); I’d recommend using my Stream Masterpost here! I use it to share my most updated subs, as I eventually redid Season 3 [and went into Season 4 for the first time] once I properly went through Seasons 1 and 2 as I picked up more Japanese, and I’m currently working on revising/finalizing everything [including using DVD-quality video]–not many streaming sites have these up, and I do like how they’ve come out. 🙂
