Sunshine - A Soaring Hallelujah/Kaisei Joushou Hallelujah (My TV-Size Fandub)
Phew, been a while since I did a song fandub! Last one being my VOICE one a while back haha.
So yeah, I remembered I still had my mic around and felt like doing a fandub a few days ago. I originally wanted to try singing Kouji Wada’s “The Biggest Dreamer” from Digimon Tamers with full lyrics based on JessOtaku’s translation since I made them a while ago and it’s an awesome song, but my voice wasn’t matching well lol. So somehow I ended up on Kaisei/Sunshine here, and I had singable lyrics around from when I did my sub of the song’s PV a year+ ago, so I just updated them a bit and tried it out. I was originally going to shoot for the full version, but since I was trying TBD and Kaisei the same night, I guess my voice was getting too tired, so I just settled for the TV-size haha. Also took a bunch of takes and sorting out the lines so I could try them in the different styles you hear, and while some parts could be a bit better, I think it came out decent enough for only spending 3-4 days on it!
Lyrics here; hope you guys like it!

So I think my dash did a thing

All right, so with everything up-and-loaded over on Cloudy Videa, the downside is that they don’t have a playlist function to organize everything like on Dailymotion. Enter this post, where you’ll find all the links sorted out by seasons! I’ll be updating it as I upload my finalized Season 1+ episodes in the coming weeks, so check the original post periodically or keep an eye on the notes for any reblogs of it I do so you’re aware of any updates. Also, keep in mind that you can download these from NAC, since I post all my downloads there!
If you would rather download, you can also use this torrent set up by rhodanum with all of my subbed episodes, including my updated Season 3 subs (which you won’t find in other torrents; does not include my finalized Season 1+ stuff, which you can find on NAC’s download forum): [removed because Kickass has been sent to the stars]
Also, Crunchyroll has begun to roll out official GX subs as of 8/1/15! This is excellent news for the fandom, and while you’re more than welcome to continue watching my subs, be sure to give their subs at least one watch to show support for the official release. You can also just have their video playing on a muted tab while you watch my version! (As of Fall 2022, it seems Crunchyroll has put their YGO uploads behind a paywall, so if you don’t have Crunchyroll Premium, you’re unable to fully view them. Unfortunate choice on their part, imo, given it’s currently the only place to view officially subbed episodes, but welp.)
To keep the html’d list consistent, season breaks are denoted like this; arc breaks are in italics.
LATEST UPDATE (7/4/23): Finalized Episodes 1-98 now on the list, with 97 and 98 newly finalized. Also quickly revised 95 to fix a minor consistency error with one of the Key Animators in the credits. (EDIT, 7/6: Re-uploaded 98 to fix a typo and reword a line, per the Edited-in note in the release post.) Closing in on the last six episodes of Season 2 to finalize as things come to a head plot-wise, so stay tuned as we revisit these!
PREVIOUS UPDATE
(6/1/23): Finalized Episodes 1-96 now on the list, with 95 and 96
newly finalized. Closing in on the last eight episodes of Season 2 to
finalize with some of its best episodes coming up, so stay tuned as we
revisit these!
(Also slowed down the gif below since I’ve seen folks tag it due to the flashing; thanks again to ynminor for providing it a while back! Also removed the torrent link because the site’s now dead; may upload a new one at some point.)
(Also, I’ve created a supplement to this post linking to the finalized episodes’ release posts on my blog–these will contain Translation Notes that it’d be worth knowing [also on-screen translations that were done] or Animation Fixes I’ve worked on; if none were done, I didn’t link them. Just in case you’re curious about any episode release notes!)
If you see any busted links, shoot me an ask or DM and I’ll fix it up! Make sure you check the original post first, though; I may have already fixed it. :P
So, thanks to venomas6 on NAC grabbing a bunch of clearer samples from some of the DVDs for me to work with, I’ll be trying to finally move ahead with this unreleased BGM project! I just whipped this up really quick as a little preview; it’s the [very nice] melodic version of “Kaisei Joushou Hallelujah”/“Sunshine - A Soaring Hallelujah” (will probably be my new translation for it) that ONLY plays in episode 50, when Chronos allows Hayato to head off for I2, despite his loss to him.
As a result of it being used only once, I can’t do much about the helicopter sound at the end, so this’ll probably be the best I can get it, with a simple vocal cut. Though, if I were the music guys, I’d have brought this back at the end of GX. :P I’ll be trying to get the volume a bit more even, though.
Enjoy! Expect some more tracks/previews as I start working with all the samples.
All right, so thanks to sixweekoldhedgehog being awesome, I got back a good chunk of episodes I was missing, and now I’ve uploaded 53-67 and 69-75 onto my Cloudy channel (67 and 68 didn’t upload at first b/c of an error; they’re reuploading now). I currently have 76-86 cued for upload, and they’ll probably keep uploading through tomorrow.
Thing is, I’m still missing a few; specifically 87-88, 90-95 and 101. I know most people downloaded subbed!GX through That One Huge Torrent and so probably only have the GX_ST versions of those episodes, but if anyone happens to have my encodes for them, any chance you could share ‘em with me? :P Worst-case scenario, I’ll reencode them, but at least it’ll only be 9 episodes to work with now, as opposed to 20 like it seemed before lol.
(The video embedded above is mostly unrelated, just added so I could still keep this post up in its current Video-post format.)
Well, here it is, our final episode! I was really starting to think I wouldn’t get to say “I’ve finished subbing GX,” but… I’ve finished subbing GX! The duel between Judai and Yugi continues, until an unexpected guest makes his way in. It’s been a fun ride, so to commemorate the occasion, you’ll see three tweaks I did here:
Also, a little side-note: it was a bit hard to tell if Judai’s voiceover lines at the end of the duel were him thinking them in the moment or if it was him narrating. Because of the narration he did in the beginning, I assumed it was him looking back in retrospect again; at least if 4Kids dubbed it, it might’ve given me an idea just to make sure haha (the Italian dub doesn’t echo thoughts, either).
And like I say at the end, thanks for all the support! :) It’s nice that I’ve seen this through to the end after 6+ years at it, and now I’ve subbed every episode of GX; granted, I still want to go and finalize Seasons 1 and [most of] 2, but yeah. XD
Also, special thanks to se-to-oh/the-supremeking for editing the postcard, and for all the help she’s been with throwing my translations onto things over the course of Season 4! :)
Enjoy the episode, and the montage! Gotcha!!
GX 179 Preview - Asuka’s Speech
Alright, so Seasons 3 and in-progress 4 are all up on that Cloudy site I mentioned! And I’ll be cross-uploading 179 and 180 when they’re done onto it and Dailymotion.
Now, I wanted to hold off on Season 1 until I started finalizing stuff, but figured I may as well just upload them for now and just delete them as I do. Problem is, I definitely finalized ep. 1 but I don’t have it anymore. I posted it a while back on NAC or maybe Janime; don’t suppose anyone has it? :P
Also, problem with uploading Season 2’s hardsubs: I don’t have everything, just 53-60, 71-73, 75-86, and 89; I’d been meaning to reencode them from the TV raws but haven’t had time, plus it’d take a while to recompile the episode clips in the 99% openings (also, they’re not on that big torrent). May try to once 180’s done, but if anyone has what’s left and wouldn’t mind reuploading them, that’d save a hell of a lot of time lol.
So I’m in the process of reuploading my GX episodes to this site Cloudy.ec; I saw Yami on NAC using it to upload the NAC-subbed Arc-V episodes and figured it might do the trick (seems pretty unknown, and no GX stuff is on there at all). The video player doesn’t seem to work on my phone’s default browser (Android), but they do have an app that might help, in case it won’t work for anyone else. I’ll have Season 3 upload while I’m at work (figured it’s a good place to start, given the revisions); I’ll probably just upload Season 4 right after, and then get to Seasons 1 and 2.
Note: I’ll still be uploading 179 and 180 to Dailymotion!
Endless Dream (Ep. 180 Version) - In Memoriam of GX (Teaser)
All right, guys, this thing is finally done! I just finished briefly retiming/fixing up the credit subs to flow with the video, and this is a teaser of how the subbed version will look at the end of 180. I stopped it where I did because I didn’t want to spoil the rest until then. :P
From where the other clip’s post left off (some of which I replanned as I was going along haha), I have stuff from the Supreme King arc going on during the bridge while clips from Seasons 1-4 play around it, followed by clips from the Judai/Yubel duel’s ending surrounded by clips of each bad guy, which fade out as the shot of fireworks going off outside the Duel Academia from 179 comes into view.
That goes into everyone getting their diplomas in the chorus, with their determination clips from 178 (where Judai talks them out of Darkness’s World) in the corner, followed by Judai’s re-run-in with Yugi in 179 with clips from their duel in the corner. Then, shots of Judai in a pinch against the bad guys, which’ll go into his turnaround/finishing moves against them. The rest, you’ll have to wait for! I’ll put the textless version of this montage up for download on NAC when I post 180.
Enjoy! Hopefully, I got in a good chunk of the episodes (unlike 5D’s’ montage, which mostly covered 65+). I’ll be starting work on 179 this weekend; should be done by this time next week. :)
Endless Dream (Ep. 180 Version) - In Memoriam of GX (WIP)
For tonight’s update on this little guy, I figured I’d give you guys a little video preview! After trying to figure out why Vegas blacked out a few of the clips and then it was as easy as disabling resampling gahhh
Basically, I’m up to the bridge now, so I’ve thrown in the clips I wanted to throw in since yesterday’s update (note: positions/choices are still subject to change if I get nitpicky lol), ending the verses with Judai snapping as Manjoume and co bite the dust. The plan now is to showcase Judai as the Supreme King, with surrounding clips showing stuff that went on in the tail end of Season 3, from Dark World to Judai VS Yubel!Johan, up to “together they fight!”, and then from “tobira no mukou ni”, we’ll have S4!Judai and stuff from Season 4 around him, before fading in the finale to Judai VS Yubel behind those clips to lead into the chorus.
Enjoy the preview! I’ve got things beyond the chorus planned out already, but I’ll save those for my next update. :P
