"Any card—so long as it exists—has a power that is needed."

The One With the Bats, ft. Sibling Feels (Part 2)  [OP/EN 1 Version]

Having defeated Chronos, Camula chooses to make her next opponent one whose looks tickle her fancy: the Kaiser.  And so, it’s Kaiser Ryou VS Camula.  The Kaiser is merciless from the outset, attacking with a Power-Bond-fortified Cyber End Dragon, but with her full knowledge of his deck, Camula avoids it.  Mixing up his attacks with Cyber Barrier Dragon and Cyber Laser Dragon, he corners Camula, but when she uses the Phantasm Gate Magic Card, she employs an unfair strategy through her power of darkness…

Did I say I’d have this and 33 ready by the holidays for everyone? …well, we’re still doing Three Kings’ Day, right? ^^; Here’s 32 for the time being while 33 gets processed on Videa, which is probably my favorite VS Camula episode because of the Ryou/Shou development.  Poor Shou thinking so little of himself makes you really appreciate how he comes into his own in the later arcs, and that dynamic is one of the things GX did best, imo.  The animation and art this episode is also nice, and this is the first episode to use one of my favorite GX music tracks, which I’ve called “The Rival’s Onslaught.” That use of Camula’s Theme right as she goes for the finisher, though… Huh, it just got a bit chilly here. where’s my sound duel 3 marvelous

Not much in the way of fixes this time (most of the time went to 33 on that front), but they’re down below the cut, as usual, for the curious.

Enjoy; I’ll post 33 once Videa has it converted, and I should have them both up on NAC in the next day or two! I’ve already revised 34′s script when I tidied it up for GoldenUmi’s release of the Duel Selection remastered episode last year, so that should be a quicker release in the next week or two.
