----------------------------------------
Hmm, apparently the name "Jack Atlas" is very famous in their world. The Duel King...

I think the episode did a decent job to set up events. And lol, Yuya on a duel runner. Really glad to see Jack's voice in the stadium though. I also thought he has a good commanding presence whenever he goes. This bought back the Yugioh 5d's nostologia...

Oh yeah, I noticed that Jack's duel runner is slightly modified from the one I remembered; more blue and white colors? The duel itself seems exciting. Yuya using pendulum and fusion combo for Rune Eyes. Nice. Poor Yuya though...lost D:

New red demon is so great.


Hmm, main characters haven't been strong as 3 previous seasons (DM, GX, 5Ds)
Yuya lost too quick and too easy. But i still like the world of Yugi oh with brand new cards.
Look for new episode.

Daaaang that was suck a quick duel, I'm surprised Yuuya lost so easily lol.
I think the synchro fans will love this new season with new synchro cards releasing and new versions of their favorite 5D's drangon cards.

As expected of the King himself.

Never was surprised when Yuya lost just like that when he's gotta pull more than just entertainment dueling to win.

The duel itself was interesting, but this episode made me REALLY hate Melissa. I mean, aren't announcers supposed to be impartial? Needs to stop fangirling, that's what the crowd is for.

And there was never any doubt that Yuya would lose. It's bloody Jack Atlas.

May be my favorite Arc-V episode so far. Jack is a freaking boss, beat Yuya like he was nothing. Then again what did you expect from the King himself. If that person behind the Security leader is who I think it is, I'm even more hyped (those who have seen 5D's Dark Signer arc know who I am talking about). Melissa did get on my nerves with her attitude, and I honestly don't like her compared to the 5D's speaker tournament guy. The preview kinda made me groan a bit, I mean Yuya tries to make it look like Jack is making fun of his Dueling, even though Jack didn't and just has a different opinion about his Dueling (and there was no reason to suddendly bring up his Father when what Jack is saying has to do with Yuya).

I don't understand why everyone always says ''entertainment'' or ''egao''(even Jack, himself said). Ok, everyone's smile is the main plot to be able to defeate enemies, but I think it doesn't work out everytime. That'd not to be enough reason. How could Yuya enjoy when his friends taken away and missed Yuzu all the time. Does he smile/enjoy for their sake while dueling? Besides, much pressure can't make him smile. Someone must've given different reasons why he couldn't win against strong duelists.
I hope Yuya'll develop enough to defeat much stronger duelists. He has an amazing deck, but he lacks of something not only smiles.

Yuya should have won the duel. When Jack went to activate his face down trap card, Reject Reborn, Rune Eyes' attack should not have been negated due to the Pendulum effect of Timegazer Magician, which returns trap cards to face down set position once per turn. The attack should have continued, and Yuya should have won.

That's if a Pendulum monster is attacking. Rune-Eyes is a fusion monster.

I can't believe how strong the new Red Dragon Archfiend card is; I wanna get it when it comes out! I think everyone predicted that Yuya lost. What's interesting is what will happen in the next episode. Will Jack show some sympathy when he sees the city officials attempt to cart Yuya and friends away? We'll see...

I personally think it's more of home team bias. Note the difference in reaction between when Yuya used one and when Jack used one.

It's very in character for Jack though. This is what he always do as a King. This duel also is same with his duel vs Mukuro in 5D's.

Yuya lost as expected. I'm actually rooting for him there.
Decent duel. Yuya didn't make any bad play, but he could at least try getting any Action cards like Mirror Barrier or Avoid to survive Jack's last turn. Guess plot armor is not with him this time.

Anyway, the guy behind Jean actually make me curious.. He does looks like Barret, the guy from Fusion Dimension? Synchro counterpart?

That was a very good duel. Jack's bad attitude is worse than the original with that prophecy and stuff, he is just like the pinnacle of all meta mentality that plays the game competitively on real life. Arrogance and uncaring beyond boundaries that only cares about curb-stomping opposition and crushing them beneath your foot.

Yuya put a good fight, but yeah obv his perspective of dueling will be clashed with others, and that is refreshing to see. And Scar-Right is abusive as hell, anime-wise that thing is a walking OTK.

Finally, thank you. I've been waiting for other people to come out and say that yuya's reason for dueling is just plain stupid. Yugi dueled because it was to save the world, Judai dueled because dueling is just fun for him, but yuya duels to bring smiles to people? what the hell is that!?

If anything Judai's fun dueling should bring way more smiles to people than what Yuya does with his entertainment dueling.

I don't think it would be so bad, if it was just simply that Yuya wants to bring joy to people by Dueling. But saying he's doing it to make people smile...that's kinda weird hearing him say that. Why does everyone have to smile from his Dueling? You don't always need to smile to show you're enjoying something, and it's stupid how he gets touchy over some people not caring for his way of Dueling or a different opinion about it.

Not anymore it's not. Ever since Zexal even normal Duels can hurt them quite a bit. And this episode is no different with Jack sending Yuya flying the heck off his D-Wheel with a direct attack. I think it's odd that nobody has a problem with the fact that their higher ups (in Arc-V and Zexal's universe) have upped the normal Duel damage to where people can now get hurt. I mean I would think many would complain to them about it.

Well what a duel, as expected Jack won, you have to built him up. I don't know what to make of him as a character, he seems to follow Yuya philosophy when it comes to putting on a show, but he doesn't respect Yuya style, calls it self satisfaction, I don't know what he means by that.

I thought Yuya got a little too aggressive, he should have just tried to last 4 turns and get a moral victory, but he went for it and lost, this crowd I have to admit, they are very polite, I thought they were going to boo Yuya out of the building like Fairy Tail on the first day of the grand magic games, but no they were respectful.

I do wonder who that mean guy behind Roger is, perhaps he is the final boss of this arc.

Good episode. Yuya didn't last long lol. Saw it coming though. Yuya will have fight to the top and face the King again, only this time he'll be even stronger and more determined to win.

Some things I've been wondering about:

1) What is beyond pendulum summon?
2) What effect does Serena's bracelet have?
3) Will there be a Dark Yuya/a dark pendulum summon with dark pendulum cards(possibly the other soul raging inside Yuya - similar to a dark zexal)?

Yes, this was a cool episode Jack really deserve the title king.
Yuzu was pretty dumb for recognizing Yuuya for real by his pendulum monsters AFTER she saw him on the D-Wheel and Melissa announcing his name.
The duel was really short but still enjoyable.
BTW, how many times did Yuuya lost now ? Probably the highest number out of all YGO protagonists.

I don't think Belial will be featured in the anime. That's manga counterpart and I'm sure something equivalent to Red Nova Dragon will show up instead because of Red Demon's identity effect.

seriously, jack won because yuya jumped the gun. if he'd simply summoned odd-eyes and dark rebellion, instead of fusing, he would have won that match easily with the protection effects of his pendelum monsters. but i like that about this episode. anybody irl who duels, probably got a winning strategy in their heads from the second he filled his field off the pendulum summon, but it shows him as an imperfect character, and i'm actually okay with that.

The card's effects are not the same in the anime.

http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Rune-Eyes_Pendulum_Dragon_(anime)

If this card was Fusion Summoned using a Spellcaster-Type monster you control as a Fusion Material Monster, apply the following effect, based on the original Level of that monster.
● Level 4 or lower: This card can make up to 2 attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase.
● Level 5 or 6: This card can make up to 3 attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase.
● Level 7 or higher: This card can make up to 5 attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase.

Melissa Claire is BACK!!!!! *takes out lotion* DAT ASS! LOL That one dude with the binoculars was most likely checking her out. I'd be disappointed if he wasn't.

Jack, but not our 5D's Jack is HERE! He reminds me of the original as expected. Of course Yuya would get rekt. If Judai couldn't beat a clone of Kaiba known as Kaibaman then Yuya had no chance. Should have been Reiji vs Jack. Rival vs Rival.

Jack possibly the greatest duelist of all time? lol

Ah! Just another episode reminding folks of their theories being wrong. lol

Yuya hit his head first on that fall yet will remain unharmed. Even Heero Yuy didn't come out clean after his fall. lol
