Been meaning to post this for months, so I think it’s about time lol. Another result of boredom during my commutes to work/some time to kill, and it’s also a cool song. Hope you guys like it!

i left the n out on purpose to be funny
Yuto’s name in Japanese katakana is ユート
Phonetically, yuuto
Doesn’t leave much room for it to be transcribed as “Ute”
Best-case, they were going for “Uto” but even then it’s a stretch
And with the lookalike-Yuya and the “Yu” naming scheme there for context, would it really make sense for it to be Ute? :P
Romanized things in the anime have always had a slight margin of error. Remember “MORTETN”/“MOMENTUM?” Also the time or two they misromanized Rua and Ruka’s names? It could be true, it might not, but until there’s some official word on it, going with the context leading to “Yuto” is our best bet.
The same should go for Reira too, as much of an L/R issue as it is: he’s Reiji’s brother, so Reira makes a little more sense than Layra. Though it does sound a bit weird to say out loud lol.

Well, he’s basically showing his true colors. You basically have to retrace his time on the show to see why it’s notable, and I saw a post earlier that covers this well, but the gist is that… *spoilers under the cut*
Yep, I do! I dunno what it is, but it sorta had me hooked from episode 1. Maybe it’s the music (done by the awesome dude who composed Code Geass’s soundtrack, mind you), or Yuya’s “laugh things off” attitude (which I’m sure is going to get twisted later), or Katsumi Ono coming back to direct it, or just the general atmosphere of the show; I couldn’t tell ya. But after the general tone I got from early ZeXal and how I didn’t like it (may change when I give it a full rewatch, since I’ve heard it gets better), the fact that I got fully hooked come episode 4 and Yuya’s little display at the end probably says something. It’s also got interesting plot threads going on, like Reiji, Yuto and the other Dark Duelists/the whole alternate dimension thing, the LDS trio, and I do want to see how they get handled, along with whatever new things get thrown in.
So yeah, so far so good; definitely give it a watch if you haven’t already!

Q&A[-ter]

Wait… If there’s a new movie going on, and if most of the crew on the current show are going to work on it…
ARC-V’s getting a filler hell, isn’t it
