Quick, someone do one of these with the Action Duel prologue

“The Action Duel, born through the implementation of mass-wielding Solid Vision… These duels unite the field, the monsters, and their duelists, sweeping the spectators into a frenzy of wild excitement!”

Thank you, Microsoft Word! Thought I’d have to restart this from scratch, lol.

So, going by the Italian dub, even in Berserk Mode, Yuya’s still going on about his monsters swinging into action

*facepalm*

Also, they cut out the part where Selena’s about to change before Yuzu has to stop her haha

I still can’t believe dub!Yugo has an incredibly deep voice

Or that he has a western accent

But seriously that’s an incredibly deep voice

Halfway through 85

Selena/Yugo: I’m gonna win!

*cuts to Reiji and JACK*

*cuts to a silhouette on top of the Stadium with what looks like two capes flowing stupidly in the wind*

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS

“The fun’s just getting started!”

NOT WITH THAT TWO-WEEK-LONG CLIFFHANGER, JERKS

Friendly reminder that I’ve done some singable translations for a bunch of ARC-V songs that can be used for whatever :) You can also check the “Song Translations!” link in the header on my blog’s page to see these, as well as other ones I’ve posted; I’ve done ones for pre-ARC-V songs as well as other random stuff that I’ll get around to posting/updating when able!

(And if you’d like me to translate something, I’ve opened up to commissions, since the money can always help. Details here! Just, uh… I still haven’t figured out a good rate to charge. ^^; [Other Translations!])

Watching some of the Italian dub past 34 for curiosity’s sake (downloaded here), and uh

Episode 39.

Berserk Yuya.

So, not only is the music as forgettable as always (naturally), but–and I’m really hoping this is just the Italian dub–Yuya sounds way too emotional when he should be talking in that super-calm voice he originally had… And apparently, he’s still taking control of the duel and swinging his monsters into action when he’s… supposed to be in this darker state?

Also, it sounds like 39 has one of the worst Action Duel Chant™ handlings, like those specific-to-current-situation ones; pretty sure there was a cut here or there.  But they did keep Isao’s talk of darkness, and I think most of the dialogue was on-point, from what I understood, so there’s that.  No weirdly demonic laughter in that one scene either.

Side-Note: It’s 13 episodes since the MC/ALC started, and they still haven’t updated the opening.  Probably won’t until episode 50, at this rate.  Wasted opportunity when they have awesome Burn! footage to use.

Also still not over Iggy I mean wut

Matt Shipman is the best thing about the ARC-V dub

That delicious Sora Shiunin backstory :)
