That was tense, at least in terms of the buildup. Pacing felt a bit slow though for this episode with the pacing.

I kinda felt bad for Reira though as he feels the pressure. And it's no surprise that Yuya would react with a bit of rage after seeing him struggle. Glad to see Reira understand a bit about friendship. Seriously though, there's some dark stuff going behind in the background.

Holy crap, was not expecting Layra's past to be so dark. It's nice that he found a bit of friendship in the form of Shinji, Crow, and the other children. Makes sense that he would not want to duel (besides the Riding Duel part, of course).

We haven't seen Tsukikage duel in awhile. Let's hope we see some new cards! Curious what Shinji will use as well.

I wonder if we are going to get these plot heavy episodes in between duels again? Guess they got to build up the hype somehow !

I guess anyone wouldn't expect Reira's past to be so dark. I suppose also that Yuya wasn't going to duel Shinji. That's a shame. Most people were expecting that too. Hopefully the ninja will put up a fight. I don't know who will win though. We'll see!

This was a very interesting, but uncomfortable to watch episode, Yuya gets involved with other people's family issues, that is uncomfortable, I don't know if I could do it, but I understand.

I like the twist Reira didn't want to duel because he was scared of losing and what that means, but scared of winning and what that would mean for his opponent. I get the impression he was confident and sure of himself that if he dueled Shinji he was going to win and Shinji was going to be sent to the labor camp.

So Reira was adaptive, and his background what a dark background, something you would see in a more serious anime.

Am I the only one who's starting to dislike Reiji more and more?

Also, I know next episode is Shinji's first duel, but I'm honestly hoping he loses, because so far all the Lancers have been doing IS losing. Sawatari, Yuya, and now Gongenzaka... it honestly isn't that fun to watch.

I'm also hoping Tsukikage wins, I need that guy to get some decent focus too.

Anyway this episode was awesome, I love how they drew some of the facial expressions on Yuya and Reira, it was really nice.

Now if we could just get some more episodes that focus on characters that actually need focus like Reira..
Sawatari, Serena and Tsukikage would be a nice start.

Serena especially. We've only ever seen her use five cards in every single one of her duels, it's getting a bit old. I'm interested in Tsukikage as well because I expected him to be fodder, and his brother Hikage was.

Sawatari, though... I've long lost hope on him...

AND I WONDER WHOSE FAULT THAT IS, HUNH?! I mean, it's technically not their fault but the fact that they're trying to keep him that way is what's bad.
Wasn't looking forward to Shinji vs Tsukikage, but now I kinda am. Here's to hoping next week brings some nice slices of drama pie.

Wow, intense episode. Friendship cup is a disguise to put more Commons into forced labour, insane ._. And glad to see Reira has some development here. Now the question is, is Reiji Akaba kinda evil, or would he be againsting his mother's idea of turning Reira as their puppet in duels? Hope they will explain that soon.

The Yosenju deck Sawatari was playing against Yuya in 31-32 was a much better deck than what he is using now.

That's probably why it was switched out for the unknown crap known as Underworld Troupe. It was done only to show that not only was Yuya over Pendulums being widely available, but he could also have fun/enjoy himself even when he's cornered by his pet mechanic.

Of course, the way he is right now, the whole "having fun" thing is kinda moot...

Damn the tension in this episode. Was kinda expecting Reira to be a robot or something due to his personality. Ninjabro evolved into a bigger bro and he definitely needs to win next episode, not to mention Shinji's kind of a meh character to me. :/

Remember, they need to spread the EGAO worldwide! But gotta agree, his deck is pretty random right now. But at the same time, I wish he doesn't change his deck if he loses next time.

Btw, according to the wiki (which I trust :]), the upcoming duels will be:
Next ep - Tsukikage vs Shinji
69 - Yuzu vs Tokumatsu (I can't say who I really want to win this duel. Sure, I want Yuzu to win so Yuya doesn't need to despair over her losing, but at the same time, I can't get enough of ENJOY and he's an awesome character...)
70 - Selena vs Tony (one of Crow's friends)
71 - Yuya vs Duel Chaser 227 (y'know, the guy whom yugo beat? He really wants his job back)
72 - Sawatari vs Yugo

I thought this episode was meh at first, but then it suprisingly became very good during the second half. Looking forward to the next duels. Shinji vs. Ninja is hard to predict, but the others are very obvious. Yuzu vs. Tokumatsu - Yuzu will win because of plot armor, also hopefully she uses a Melodious Synchro. Serena vs. Tony - Tony is so fodder, that I think it will not even be a full Duel, also it looks like that epiosde will focus more on Jack's backstory. Yuya vs. Duel Chaser - Obviously Yuya. Yugo vs. Sawatari - Now this is the Duel I'm looking most forward to. From the title's name, it seems that Sawatari will manage to kill Clear Wing, being the first person to do so. He will still lose though, since Yugo has plot armor, but I get the feeling that it will be a awesome Duel.

On 69 - Yeah, that's a really tough one. I really wanna see more of Tokumatsu (Tokumatsu > Shinji), but Yuzu's a main character...

On 70 - I hope Selena wins, with some OTHER cards. I swear to God, if she wins with the same four cards, I'm giving up all hope of her getting any decent development.

On 71 - That seems really random, and even without Yuya's protagonist armour, he's still guaranteed to get through.

On 72 - Yeah, I knew it. Sawatari's fucked from the get-go. Just the usual, nothing to see there.

Apparently there will be a new fusion monster she will use. Was getting real tired of Moonlight Cat Dancer too.

Nice to finally get some more info on Reira, and Reiji even. I can finally see Reiji in a slightly better light. Reira definitely needed more "humanity" to his character, I'm glad he's not against it at all.

Now for a ninja in a riding duel! Best entertainment?

So Reiji and Reira aren't actually brothers. Good. Was getting tired of Reira's shit.

Reira is a nobody...and you know what that means if you play Kingdom Hearts.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

I love that confrontation and the room went awkward after.
Yuya protecting the boy and thinking Reiji did something bad to him or something.
but in actuality, he was found in some war? and brought to his family but he has no will of his own so the mom of Reiji wants to use him for something. Thats messed up in alot of ways.
Reiji does feel bad for him but he's really hard to read at his face because he's always "calm" and collective but he does care for the boy in his own way. Great to hear he won't force him to duel, i can't imagine a little kid riding a motorcycle. i don't think they have a kid version motorcycle, thats dangerous.

that bribe from the old guy was funny. that card was indeed rare.
so what we got in this episode was that the Noboru is going to the camps where he will be forced to work undergrounds picking up trash till he dies.
