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

The One With the Fishy Mixup

A multi-millionaire named Anacis arrives at the island for a Duel of Darkness with the three Phantasm cards at stake.  When they declare “Duel!” at the bottom of the sea, Anacis realizes there was a “Duel of Darkness”/”Duel in the Seas” mixup.  Judai and Anacis now have a Duel in the Seas, and with the “Legendary City of Atlantis” Field Magic, Anacis’s Water-Attribute Monsters gain an edge–while Judai suffers as he stares down powerful monsters like “Orca Mega-Fortress of Water” and “Levia Dragon – Daedalus.”

Not as much of a delay with this one, is it? Here’s episode 38! Judai thinks he’s in for a painful duel, until it turns out there was a misunderstanding, so we end up with a duel in the deep blue sea! A fun episode for what it is, even if that’s probably a clever commercial for the Structure Deck that came out around its airdate.  (Also, why did the dub change Shou’s argument from Judai eating his fried shrimp to sell his bed or something again)

Couple of card fixes here, as well; list below the cut.  Some were a bit tougher given the watery background thing going on, and I scrapped one because of it (Judai’s Mirror Gate being sideways heading into the break), but overall, nothing too complex. (EDIT, 2021: One new fix applied that I missed before, listed in bold under the cut!)

Enjoy, folks! Going to start work on 39 by this weekend; I’ll have 38 up on NAC by then, too.
