Apologies for the delay with 147, guys. Fixing up a few early Season 3 episodes last week and my internet sucking to upload them really set me back. But it’s all done; just encoding now. I should have it up by tomorrow night, Thursday at the latest. :)

GX 15 “Youthful Duel Tennis”
青春のデュエルテニス
How can I duel you? Let me count the ways.
On a bike,
On a plane,
In my school,
In a shadow game.

So I’ve just been informed that NAC doesn’t have admin verification in place anymore. NEVER MIIIIND~

This post was originally meant for people who I’ve seen watching GX Season 3 with my ancient S3 subs or other QUALITY -ish subs as seen on sites like KissAnime and GogoAnime, but applies to the rest of the series as well–I wanted to urge (well, not so much “urge”–more “suggest” lol) people to check out my hella-updated Season 3 subs as well as the rest, either by streaming on Cloudy through my masterpost, or download at the Neo Ark Cradle (you just need to register to access the Download Forum there).
Re: Season 3, most of those episodes haven’t been updated since about 2008 (especially 144+), and between then and now, things are a lot more accurate and detailed thanks to my getting better at Japanese (and editing), so I’d like to try and phase them out (granted, most people got them through that old batch torrent, so that might be nigh impossible, but y'know). And if you’re watching the updated stuff after watching my Seasons 1 and 2, it’ll be a bit more seamless a transition as you go through Season 3 and into my Season 4 stuff (in terms of “personality conveyed through subs” and readability).
I’m also currently giving GX another run-through as I’m updating and finalizing my Season 1 and 2 stuff (currently at 12), so I’ll be updating the masterpost as needed; keep an eye out on the original post!

In which JUDAI.
Before I go on, I just need to insert the usual mention of the dub here. Like, I thought 137 was bad enough, but I think 146’s dub tops it. SO. MUCH. ADDED. TALKING. Like, I’ll be looking at my script, and it’ll be a 30-second gap between subs, while the dub has line upon line going on in that gap… And it ruins the mood so much here. Especially those added lines where it’s clear Judai’s thinking, like at the end. If it wasn’t for dub!Ryou’s acting, it would’ve sucked entirely.
…anywho, yeah, here’s 146 for you guys! Judai tries to come to grips with what he did as the Supreme King, Baou comes in to capitalize, and it’s a good episode, but this is all warmup for the awesome that starts in 147: Hell Kaiser VS Yubel!Johan! Look out for it next week.

So, in both the TV rip and the DVD episode (surprisingly, since things like these get fixed on the DVDs), as Dogma Guy’s being summoned, you hear him grunt and the ATK counter come up seconds before he actually poses and the counter actually pops up. For some reason. I checked if 4Kids had it fixed in the dub, and it’s still there, only you also hear the dub’s stat counter SFX after the JP one. It’s not the first time they’ve goofed with SFX, since, if you watch dub!130 as Rainbow Dragon’s powering up to 10,000 ATK, you actually hear the Japanese stat-increasing SFX. And apparently, in dub!145, they also kept JP!Echo’s scream as Exodia grabbed her and put dub!Echo’s scream over hers. Yeah, I dunno.
To fix this, being the awesome or just lucky editor that I am, I sped up Dogma Guy’s posing so it and the counter were timed with their respective SFXs. And now, it looks a lot less awkward!

In which ED NOOOO D:
Well, here’s 145, all up and loaded. If you’re getting feels from this episode, you’ve got some more coming in 146 next week. Enjoy!
Ed’s getting real tired of your shit, Echo.
