It’s pretty cool of the Yuma vs Tron duel to have two episodes handled back-to-back art-wise by the fantastic Gil Bo Noh and Kenichi Hara
Was also touching how Yuma pointed out the hope and loneliness felt by III, IV, and V at Byron who used them as tools of revenge despite being the good kids they are, then punctuated it after his “What would a kid like you know?” retort with “I know what it’s like when a parent goes missing on ya!” Also that bit about III/IV/V doing what they did for Tron’s sake probably because they thought it natural to help their parent but it’s still wrong. The somber OST in that scene was really good. And #69’s definitely animated to be pretty imposing with its God Rage and God Slaughter moves; the Xyz Change to ZeXal and seeing it was still a struggle to hold Tron off was good. Also always interesting when there’s so much packed into the cold open that the OP kicks in almost 8 minutes into the episode, lol.
(Checked the dub out of curiosity and most of it actually was dubbed pretty well, though the dub’s OST really takes away from it, but Tron and
less-soYuma what even are your voices)brb gotta go cheer for the new protag ZeXal-Or-Not

- #couldn't have been hard to make it work with a misunderstanding
- #the crowd chanting it and Yuma going 'What was Tokunosuke thinking calling this 'ZeXal-Or-Not' was cute lol
- #also why did the dub feel the need to change the stat counter SFX again
