Friendly reminder that, for some reason, 4Kids thought this edit was a good idea
Actually I do! Especially considering that, oh, I helped make it. :P (And no, that’s not just VLC’s fuckup, that honor goes to Anchor Bay who somehow slapped it on and thought it’d be indistinguishable from the Japanese track. It was a whole thing, lol.)
Check out NAC, there’s a sub file for it there. I subbed the movie up until Kaiba VS Aigami, while GoldenUmi and NeoArkadia and some others from GX_ST were involved with the rest (with Horoko of TnKP’s own subs referenced to in some spots). Should make a noticeable difference!
But you still take the damage!

The One With the Grave Situation (Part 2) (Alternatively based on this cap: Duel Like An Egyptian)
Judai and the Gravekeeper Chief continue their duel. Judai’s evolve-Winged-Kuriboh combo gets blocked off, causing him to lose his chance at a comeback just as the Gravekeeper Chief summons himself to the field. Once he does, Judai reestablishes himself and draws Edgeman. However, as a result of lacking sacrifices, he can’t summon him…
And here’s episode 28! Wraps up our brief exposure to this alternate world as Judai finishes his duel with the Chief. Features Necrodarkman’s first appearance and a few cool shots of Judai. Don’t go missing the land of three suns too much… (Also, fun fact: the nice bit about Judai looking up to Yugi and his winning “lots of Duels of Darkness” was rewritten in the dub. For reasons I can’t explain. *shrug*)
Only four fixes this time, three card-related and one minor one involving lip-flaps; details below the cut, as usual. I’ll be starting work on 29 later this week, getting us finally into the Seven Stars arc, which I’ve been looking forward to finalizing. I’ll have 28 posted onto NAC tomorrow. Enjoy!
So dub!Season 3 started on Saturday in Canada, but lol this OP has been around for a few weeks now
Not a bad collection of stuff, though it’s funny that they have shots of Red Daemon’s Scarlight when JACK doesn’t play into things until 120 or so IIRC. Still, they likely won’t change the OP again until we get to Pendulum Beat territory, so that was probably to cover themselves lol. I’m wondering why that shot of the Yu4 is at “Can you feel the power?” before the first verse, why do they keep using that effect on Clear Wing, but I like what they did with the Yugo and Yuri shots from OP5 (which were my favorites, though Yugo getting a Clear Wing clip and Yuri being followed by Cipher Dragons is lolwut), like that they kept Reiji with Leo from Burn! where it is, why did they shake the Shun/Allen/Gongenzaka/co shot, bless them for keeping the Selena/Sawatari punch, nice Asuka and Kite plug but why no Ed, that shot of Shun where Ruri and Sayaka were supposed to fade in being just Shun now is weird (that shot and the shot of Yugo riding off would’ve been a good way to show Ruri and Rin at least), and it ends on Dark Requiem. Could’ve probably used less monsters that showed up during Synchro, but hey (and also, OP5 and ED5 being 60% pan shots doesn’t help).
Overall, not a bad OP. Would’ve been nice if they changed the song, though, given it’s close to a GX Season 3 scenario in terms of the mood whiplash.
tfw you’re better at card placement than the paid official folks at 4Kids Entertainment

Through an invite from Professor Daitokuji, Judai and the others head to ancient ruins for an extra-credit class. There, they go on a trip to an ancient world, where they become suspected of graverobbing. With Daitokuji and co. on the line, Judai begins a duel against the Gravekeeper Chief. It’s a Game of Darkness, and Judai feels real pain out of it. Gravekeeper Assassin and Gravekeeper Shaman are just some of what’s summoned from the Gravekeeper Deck, and the Field Magic “Ravine of the Royal Family - Necrovalley” also prevents interference with the Cemetery.
This took a little longer than I’d planned, lol. But finally, it’s GX 27! This is a neat little episode that gives us some lore behind the Academia with the “kinda ruined” ruins, and it also becomes Judai’s second Duel of Darkness to set the stage for what’s to come in the next arc. The world they’re sent to is also interesting, and I’d keep it in mind when we jump back into Season 3…
Part of what took so long with this one were the edits, which weren’t too difficult, but the main issue was squeezing them in with my work schedule; I tried to get many of them done during my hour lunch at work, lol. There were about 8 edits altogether, 8 being card fixes; I’ll let you guess what one of the remaining two were. List below the cut as usual, for the curious.
I also decided to use the textless version of the OP that was originally used on the actual episodes, now that it made its way onto the webs; it’s different from the version that was released textless previously/used for 4Kids’s openings, as it has the different sky, the pause with Manjoume before it zooms out to show Judai during the “Get on the deck!” parts (as opposed to just the slow zoom), and the different background during Asuka’s Cyber Angels bit and Judai with Sparkman and Bubbleman. It also kept the original animation error with Water Dragon and the unused [unfortunately] Fire Dragon having red and blue behind them, respectively, so I snipped the fixed one from the “V2″ to include it. I also fixed Burstlady at the end to fix her lack of a strap (for some reason they colored her shoulder the strap color…). I’ll be going back to 1-26 to add this version, along with updating the EDs after 18 while I’m at it to fix a staff credit error I’ve been meaning to fix.
Enjoy! 28 should take less time, hopefully!
Anyone want to help a curious anon?

VRAINS OP #1 Can Kinda Go With Anything
If You Try
#2: Sono Chi no Sadame (The Fate of That Bloodline; JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, also by TOMMY Tominaga)
[#1: 99% (JorporXx English Cover)]
Honestly surprised this wasn’t the first one anyone did tbh
(This makes it sound like Yusaku and Naoki will end up having drama between them… inb4 Naoki=Revolver)

So I said before I’ll be going ahead on this side-project, replacing Yamamoto’s music with Yutaka Minobe/Wall 5 Project’s work from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s’ awesome soundtrack–just so there’s a consistent soundtrack I can watch the show with, and also just messing around for some fun–and I’ll be sharing it for whoever’s interested in seeing how it pans out. I downloaded some 320kbps rips of the first two Sound Duels to get some good quality in here, too. The goal’s to make it to The Final Chapters to give the show a full consistent soundtrack, ideally without any placements rivaling that disco theme (you know the one) in terms of awkwardness.
After months of delaying it, here’s episode 4! I did a new sort of tweak with the scene where I had Godwin’s Theme play for the scene with Yemma, having it cut out as Goku’s all “Yo!” at him (as opposed to my earlier idea of a disc-scratch). Personal favorite scenes include “The City” over Goku being ridden towards Snake Way, “Showdown” over the Raditz flashback, and one of the twins’ themes over Goku worrying about eating/asking about Baba, since the Yamamoto track had a cutesy track there. Let me know what you think!
I might include song lists too, as I get these done; I plan to work on these a little quicker, so hopefully episode 5′ll be done sooner.
