aaaaaa i fucking love this conversation so much
i just really love what they did with ed and kaiser’s relationship, how well they understand each other in some respects, yet end up with completely polarized ideals and viewpoints
idk i feel like that’s not something a lot of animes touch on, prolly cause most animes settle for just ONE ~anti-hero~, but it helps drive home that it’s not just THE PROTAG WAY OR THE HIGHWAY, there are lots of valid ways to be both a True Duelist and a hero - even if juudai influenced ed a lot, ed has his own ideals and his own path, and that’s not bad or something that needs to be ‘fixed’
(and so does kaiser, even if his path involves a lot more being a huge dick for no reason)
In which–wait, Amon’s still in this show?
Here’s episode 144 for you guys! And it’s Ed’s first and probably last duel in this whole season, lol. Enjoy, folks!
(Also, a Translation Note:
At 16:45: Not sure if it’s worth mentioning, but Ed’s line about “2 spins” was hard to reword, since he says “futatsu” which refers to the two counters Eternal Dread adds, but he doesn’t say “counters”. In case you’re new to Clocktower of Seclusion, one spin/counter = 3 hours.)
So JP!144 starts with a recap of O'Brien VS The Supreme King, then we get Teardrop, and the whole nightmare thing with Judai remembering Jim and O'Brien dying before he screams as he wakes up.
The dub doesn’t start with a recap (shocking, right?), so it goes right into Jaden’s nightmare by adding a shot of him sleeping, then changing the Jim flashback a bit. But as he wakes up and screams from the nightmare, they cut to the too-cheery-for-this-part-of-the-series “Get Your Game On”.
Awkward.
In which I finally make a post exploring my thoughts on Judai’s character as well as why I, as someone who probably would have made the same mistakes, get really frustrated when most of fandom references episode 136 as having anything at all to do with Johan.
The usual disclaimer: These are entirely my interpretations as someone who sees too much of themself in a cartoon character, and it is in no way meant to be an argument of “right” versus “wrong” interpretations of character. Also using Lance’s subs, etc. If you can’t tell already, this stuffed full with unmarked spoilers.
And I’m going to start with what happened in Episode 136, actually.
Okay yeah here we go!As a warning, this ended up being ten pages long. Read at your own risk… hah ha.

In which O'BRIEN NOOOOO D:
Ahem… Yeah, 143’s all done. Which means the Supreme King miniarc is all done. I wish it was longer, but for what it was, it ends on a pretty good note in this episode. Enjoy, folks!

In which O'Brien, “badass,” something/something.
Forget my last post, GX 142 just finally uploaded! Enjoy, folks; 143’s on the way in the next day or two to end this Supreme King miniarc. Unfortunately.
Phew… alright, guys, GX 142’s uploading now. Meant to get it done over the weekend, but stuff happened. I’ll still get 143 done in the next day or two.
Keep an eye on my Dailymotion for it; I’m off to work, so I’ll post the video when I get back.
