Hello everyone, Copper here, owner of the screencap blog @specialsummon. Recently I have been thinking about how I want to run and organize the blog. It is primarily meant to host caps from the anime but I’ve always had the intention of capping the videogames as well. The main problem there is that the anime alone will take me years to get through at my current pace of one post per day. Sure, I could shoehorn in unrelated posts like I did this morning with Duelists of the Roses caps, but I feel like it would interrupt the flow of the blog.

So, in light of that, I have decided to brush the dust off a blog I made a while ago that was originally going to be used for fic and convert it into a blog dedicated to the games. You can find it here at @battlephase. Right now it is still too ‘new’ by Tumblr standards (aka not enough posts and such to register as a ‘real’ blog) so it may take a few days for posts there to start popping up in the tags. I plan to continue posting stuff from DoR such as the battle images of the monsters and caps of interesting dialogue snippets, then will move on to Forbidden Memories. This blog may not get updated everyday like the anime blog is, but capping the games will be a nice little break from working on the anime for me.

tl;dr go check out the new blog if you are interested in the graphics and stories of the older Yu-Gi-Oh! games. I find they make for fun (and a little bizarre at times) AUs and fic fodder.

(Previously: Episodes 80-81 Subbed [Finalized])

(Check out my Subbed!GX Stream Masterpost!)

82: Misawa VS Manjoume – The Assault Cannon Beetle

As a consequence of being the only one uninvited by the Society of Light, Misawa anxiously wonders if he is being thought of as weak.  He confronts Saiou himself, who says that he will leave the island if beaten in a duel, but Manjoume duels Misawa in his stead.  Manjoume fuses his three new Union Monsters to summon “Assault Cannon Beetle” (ATK/ 2800), using the Ojamas as bullets to reduce Misawa’s LP down to 1600.  Misawa’s intellectual “focus ahead” plays get him far, but…

83: Hell Kaiser Ryou VS Master Samejima

In search of a powerful, locked-away deck, Hell Kaiser Ryou pays a visit to his old Cyber Style Dueling Master–one Principal Samejima–and the teacher and student duel.  Ryou summons Cyber End Dragon right off the bat, but Samejima defends himself with a copy of his Monster.  Playing to the “soft and fair goes far” proverb, Samejima’s Cyber Ogre absorbs the ATK of Ryou’s Monster, its own ATK reaching 4000, but Ryou evades that using Cyber Laser Dragon.  Samejima snatches Ryou’s Cyber End Dragon with a Trap Card, leading to his final decisive moves…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Episodes 82 and 83 are now finalized! Misawa’s anxiety over the way he’s perceived leads him to join the Society of Light, while Ryou decides he’s come as far as he can with just Cyber End and visits his dojo-master-turned-Principal Samejima for some secret cards.  Manjoume’s Beetrons were actually neat, and while I’m sure I was doubtful of how Misawa joining the SOL made sense years back, I do think it does now given the context of Misawa’s wanting recognition and not being the odd man out (and Ed’s putting it into words also puts a different lens on his early Season 1 self).  For 83, admittedly the Cyber Style stuff does come a bit out of nowhere (the Japanese blog I reference for lines occasionally also thought so lol), but it’s believable enough for GX, and does give us some more background on Ryou’s childhood to juxtapose with his current “I only need victory, respect be damned” self.  Samejima finally making his return after Season 1 as his dojo master was also a bit cool, ngl, and hey, turns out he was working on our upcoming tournament arc!

Had a few animation/card and other quality-of-watching fixes I handled for each episode, hence the slight delay, and for 83′s hardsub, I also translated an article Shou was reading about Ryou’s rise as Hell Kaiser.  Details below the cut, as usual, for the curious.

Enjoy, folks–with these done and the GeneX arc about to start, I think the next release will just be episode 84 to set it up and also take a light breather, and then I’ll resume my catch-up double-releases with 85 and 86, which’ll coincide with an update to the OP (plus, that way I also don’t leave half of Judai vs Manjoume or Judai vs Asuka hanging on a cliff later lol).  Stay tuned!

More underrated moments from early YGO that I love because it’s been a while and also why not:

I actually really like how Takahashi sets up Domino City as a setting for the first seven volumes. It’s a great use of visual style and various character types that form a place that doesn’t really feel safe, regardless of where you are.

Are you in school? you could get extorted or beat up for people’s entertainment. You’re in class? The teachers would exploit their authority to make a fool of you. On the streets? You could get electrocuted or caught as a hostage for a death-row criminal on the run. The fact that many of them attacked the main cast (and so frequently too) puts them in the spotlight, and helps set up a tense atmosphere. Takahashi’s visual style helps a lot with that too, with how ‘crude’ they could get, especially for certain characters. 

In fact, it’s probably why seeing Yami come out during these times feel so much more fun. Because we just saw Yuugi and co. get their asses beat hard, and Yami’s about to return the favor. It’s a violence-meets-violence sort of deal that somehow feels grounded due to how real some of these ‘villain archetypes’ are. It’s messed up yet deliciously fun.
