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

The One With the Proposal

The Seven Stars’ next assassin is Abidos III, a boy king known as the “God of Dueling” who boasted a no-loss record in Ancient Egypt.  Judai duels with Abidos III, and Judai keeps up well in their match, asking Abidos, “You’re really bad at this, right?” Abidos experiences his first sense of resistance in a duel, as he gathers three sarcophagi on his field to summon Spirit of the Pharaoh, with four servants to fortify his defense.  But Judai also lays out the groundwork for his counterattack…

It’s episode 40! This episode’s not too bad, and we have another nod to Ancient Egypt with Abidos.  His deck is a bit underwhelming, though, as Judai and co. note, but it does help to set the stage for Judai’s first use of the HERO cards, and while they do go on to get some spread-out use through the rest of the show, I believe this is one of only two times HERO Flash!! gets used with them.  Also, where’s my post-series one-shot with Judai and Abidos guys

Not too much in the way of card fixes, though I did go and fix two card-related animation errors in some quick shots.  Details are in this little preview post I did a few days ago~

Enjoy, folks! Off to work on the next episode for my 5D’s dub-uncut project with episode 25, and then I’ll come back to work on GX 41, which gives us some much-needed Asuka/Fubuki time!
