Okay, I thought I might’ve been onto something earlier, but
THEY!
So, those three are in BBT, in the DM-5D’s verse, but also in ZeXal? ZeXal’s spot in the YGO timeline really is screwy, huh? 😭
(I mostly joke, weren’t these three confirmed to be more gag characters since real-life parodies? Maybe ZeXal could take place alongside 5D’s instead of in a parallel universe somewhere… [maybe containing it to its own timeline might be best haha])
I have been watching more of ZeXal in the past couple weeks, and I think I’ve gotten myself settled in well! The Kite episodes were A+, and coming from seeing him more in ARC-V than ZeXal, it was definitely interesting to see his original self, and immediately tower over Yuma and Astral after he nearly destroys them; it spurs the first time Yuma and Astral start to feel fear over losing with higher stakes, and leads well into the Duel Lodge episodes where they learn about Duel Spirits and how they can fear losing or being destroyed too, to set up that lore. Then the Jin episodes were great, the Chaos Xyz powerup was neat, and the scene with Kite coming in after the statue breaks and steals Jin’s number was really good. The backstory to Yuma and Akari’’s parents was well done, and it was cute how it was layered around the concept of the Saturday Parents at School Day. The Black Mist episode! It was good to see Tetsuo doing something by helping to free Yuya, and then his coordinating with him and Astral was a nice touch–though it was interesting that #96′s form changed like that…

21 episodes down, and yeah, safe to say I’m enjoying actually watching it through finally so far. The OST has also been stellar, and I should probably work on downloading the rest of the ZeXal Sound Duels (have only had SD1 for the longest lol).
