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.
Friendly reminder that I, DIO GLL99, have a masterpost with all of my GX subs–not only with my newer, more accurate Season 3 and all my S4 subs that most sites like KissAnime don’t have (opting for GX_ST or my ancient Season 3 subs, both of which are obsolete), but also my newly finalized Season 1 subs [in progress]–readily available should you want to watch GX.
Also, YOU SHOULD WATCH GX. :P

All right, so with everything up-and-loaded over on Cloudy Videa, the downside is that they don’t have a playlist function to organize everything like on Dailymotion. Enter this post, where you’ll find all the links sorted out by seasons! I’ll be updating it as I upload my finalized Season 1+ episodes in the coming weeks, so check the original post periodically or keep an eye on the notes for any reblogs of it I do so you’re aware of any updates. Also, keep in mind that you can download these from NAC, since I post all my downloads there!
If you would rather download, you can also use this torrent set up by rhodanum with all of my subbed episodes, including my updated Season 3 subs (which you won’t find in other torrents; does not include my finalized Season 1+ stuff, which you can find on NAC’s download forum): [removed because Kickass has been sent to the stars]
Also, Crunchyroll has begun to roll out official GX subs as of 8/1/15! This is excellent news for the fandom, and while you’re more than welcome to continue watching my subs, be sure to give their subs at least one watch to show support for the official release. You can also just have their video playing on a muted tab while you watch my version! (As of Fall 2022, it seems Crunchyroll has put their YGO uploads behind a paywall, so if you don’t have Crunchyroll Premium, you’re unable to fully view them. Unfortunate choice on their part, imo, given it’s currently the only place to view officially subbed episodes, but welp.)
To keep the html’d list consistent, season breaks are denoted like this; arc breaks are in italics.
LATEST UPDATE (7/4/23): Finalized Episodes 1-98 now on the list, with 97 and 98 newly finalized. Also quickly revised 95 to fix a minor consistency error with one of the Key Animators in the credits. (EDIT, 7/6: Re-uploaded 98 to fix a typo and reword a line, per the Edited-in note in the release post.) Closing in on the last six episodes of Season 2 to finalize as things come to a head plot-wise, so stay tuned as we revisit these!
PREVIOUS UPDATE
(6/1/23): Finalized Episodes 1-96 now on the list, with 95 and 96
newly finalized. Closing in on the last eight episodes of Season 2 to
finalize with some of its best episodes coming up, so stay tuned as we
revisit these!
(Also slowed down the gif below since I’ve seen folks tag it due to the flashing; thanks again to ynminor for providing it a while back! Also removed the torrent link because the site’s now dead; may upload a new one at some point.)
(Also, I’ve created a supplement to this post linking to the finalized episodes’ release posts on my blog–these will contain Translation Notes that it’d be worth knowing [also on-screen translations that were done] or Animation Fixes I’ve worked on; if none were done, I didn’t link them. Just in case you’re curious about any episode release notes!)
If you see any busted links, shoot me an ask or DM and I’ll fix it up! Make sure you check the original post first, though; I may have already fixed it. :P
In which karma. Also, guess who’s back-*whoop-whoop*-back again~
And now, here’s 172, all done for ya! While Judai deals with the aftereffects of Saiou’s little stunt, Kenzan finally finds Sorano–but is it a good thing? Enjoy, folks! 173’ll be good next week, since Fubuki gets some action–especially since an old friend comes back…
In which we start a fun dueling tournament that–oh, stuff’s gone south in Domino City, too. Huh.
Well, this is the first episode I’ve gotten done on-time in a while! XD; Here’s 168 for you, where we start off the Graduation Duel tournament while Trueman decides to start his assault on Domino City. Also, Judai somehow knows how to drive a boat. Enjoy, folks! Expect 169 around this time next week, it’s one I’ve been looking forward to. :)
In which Shou and Inotsume have a… shocking time together. *gets out*
Apologies for the huge delay, folks! I wanted to have the “operation” sign in the doctor’s office translated for this, but since it’s been so long and the-supremeking hasn’t finished it up yet, I thought I’d just upload it as is, and I’ll post the finished hardsub on NAC for download; for the time being, I’ll post the raw and script there. I also finished 165, but I’ll be editing the sign in Ed’s book-signing scene this week for it. Enjoy!
In which HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE MAN
Apologies for the huge delay, guys! I’d actually finished it up by Thursday, but I had some help translating the card Inotsume shoots at Ryou (with some…interesting results), so special thanks to the-supremeking! So yeah, Ryou accepts his challenge, and we’re gradually shown that that probably wasn’t a good idea. Enjoy, folks!
In which Judai and Asuka get their groove back.
Apologies for the slight delay (hmm… I’m saying that a lot lately…)! 162’s pretty good, we have Judai getting some fun for once, he and Asuka have a good moment, and Asuka decides what she wants to do, too. She also gets a badass smirk moment. Enjoy!
Hey, guys!
Just a quick question: any chance one of you has a transparent version of this Duel Academia logo? Not just the “DA”, but also the little circle around them that reads “DUEL ACADEMY OBELISK BLUE RA YELLOW OSIRIS RED”; I wanted to try translating the little flier that Asuka gets about Kenzan’s party in 161, and I was hoping someone out there in the fandom would have it, since I can’t think of an episode to get a good screencap of it.
If not, guess I’ll improv lol.
In which JUDAI YA LITTLE SHIT
Apologies for the huge delay, but here’s 161! With graduation approaching for the Third-Years, Kenzan puts together a Pair Duel Tournament to spice things up. Enjoy!
In which THERE’S ONLY ONE KING!! AND THAT’S–wait
So…forgetting I said it’d be done last weekend, here’s 160 for you! And in an update to what I said in my 159 post, not much more gets found out about the Abandoned Dorm stuff here, lol. Besides it getting blown to pieces Also, Judai realizes something at the end in a cute scene.
Enjoy, folks! :)
In which we see Judai’s best questioning strategy.
Say “hello” to 159, guys! We find out more about Darkness and Fujiwara, along with some more about the Abandoned Dorm stuff that [I think] gets expanded on in 160. Enjoy, folks! :) Expect it next week.
In which LAVA.
A bit later than hoped (actually finished it yesterday but YE OLDE UPLOADE PROBLEME~), but here’s 158! Enjoy, guys!
In which IT’S IN YOUR EYEEEES~
I couldn’t think of a better zinger I’m sorry
Well, guys, it’s finally here! Welcome to Season 4! =D This is really uncharted territory for me sub-wise, since when I first did Season 3, I went back and did 1 and 2 before hitting 4 at all, so it’s nice to be back at this point. I haven’t seen much of Season 4 in a while, so it ought to be interesting lol.
Here, we have this new seaweed-haired dude making eyes at people, nbd. Also, Mr. I pity da fool T/TRUEEEMAN makes his debut. And Judai smirks. Heh. Enjoy, folks!
Episode 156, apparently too good of a clipshow for 4Kids to not try screwing up.
Here it is, folks–our season finale! With Judai missing for a week now, everyone recalls some of their encounters with him. (Also, Judai totally won that duel, Manjoume.) Enjoy!
(And now, cue my month-ish hiatus. I’ll be getting some work done on other projects I’ll post about, and getting stuff ready for Season 4. Keep an eye out!)
