D:
That look of relief on Reira’s face when Yuya drove in, though :’)
(And ow, those war flashbacks)
This is an interview with Katsumi Ono and Shinpei Takagi, ARC-V’s (and 5D’s’) Director and Yugo’s Japanese voice-actor respectively, posted over on NAC. Translated it while bored at work, and here are the results, copied over from there! There were some scans of articles about characters like Reiji and young Rin and Yugo, which I’ll also tackle.
Finally think I’ve satisfied myself with how this turned out, haha. This is a great song, and the second time we’ve had the Seiyuus/VAs in any YGO show perform a song (the first being KENN (Judai) performing “Wake Up Your Heart” in GX). Kensho Ono (Yuya) and Hosoya Yoshimasa (Reiji) deliver pretty well here–as good as Speaking is, this is still [just barely] my favorite ARC-V theme, lol.
(And if you want me to translate something, I’ve opened up to commissions, since the money can always help. Details here!)

Prayer circle for Halil and Olga to come back in some way after things with Yuri are handled
UGHHH I LOVE THIS SONG
And this was fun to work on too; I love how relatable the song is (I’m the one who has to open up here, haha), and hopefully that comes through pretty well with these lyrics. I redid the lyrics used for the TV-Size version a bit, to update the rhyme scheme/word choices a bit lol. Use ‘em for whatever! :)
Itching to work on full!Trump Card, haha.

Actually, yeah! The singles for it and Speaking came out over the last few weeks; just the songs themselves have been floating around, but I just found the full singles on HikarinoakariOST. (If you have an NAC account, I just reuploaded them and posted them there!)
dub!38 was going so well until they decided to make Isao speak during his duel with Yaiba
especially when his mouth’s not even moving
They’ve been decent about keeping characters quiet when they were originally, so what
Disappointed they got rid of the comedic SFX in the Yuzu/Yoko and Mieru scene, too. And they replaced the one when she shows up above Nico
I also hope they realize they left LDS on the tower in one shot
Quick, someone do one of these with the Action Duel prologue
“The Action Duel, born through the implementation of mass-wielding Solid Vision… These duels unite the field, the monsters, and their duelists, sweeping the spectators into a frenzy of wild excitement!”
Thank you, Microsoft Word! Thought I’d have to restart this from scratch, lol.

Halfway through 85

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
“The fun’s just getting started!”
NOT WITH THAT TWO-WEEK-LONG CLIFFHANGER, JERKS
Burn! - A Full English Fandub (AMV, Subbed)
So, following up my post with the TV-Size version, I finally managed to get this uploaded from my laptop. I’ve been sitting on my translation for the song for a while and had been itching to try singing it out. I just really dig how positive this song is (may have channeled myself a bit in the translation, given how it resonates with me lol), and so I did just that a few weeks ago, then made a nice little AMV to go with it. Also hid a slight spoiler to make this more spoiler-free, though I know it’s been 10 episodes. :P
Hope you enjoy it! Feel free to give some constructive criticism, if anything haha.
