Mind games continue with Yuri trying to get Yuya to give up...interesting.

One other interesting I noticed during this duel is that Yuri used an action card. Wasn't expecting that all. Poor Yuya, I feel bad for him. His despair continues...

I like how Yuya's friends are trying to get him to regain himself.
GG Yuri. Finally he suffers on-screen defeat, about time. That awakening though :o

The whole thing was epic. The dimension merging looks more interesting than I imagined.

Yuya had the full red eyes for a moment, just like the other counterparts, but he manages to resist the awakening.

Yuri brushes everyone off with dark powers. I'm sick of his creepy faces and that lip licking scene. As I predicted Yuya discarded Smile World to save his skin and felt really bad about it afterwards, but everyone manages to convince him that they all trust in him and that the fate of the world lies in his hands.

And it's been a while since we last heard the ''Swing, Pendulum of Souls'' OST which was used epically when Yuya gathered the dragons. I also liked how he countered Yuri with that mouse and Clear Wing.

And is that an evil version of Smile World Yuri used?!

Also, I like how Yuri loses his smug face and all of his cool when Yuya uses the mouse again and Yuri learns what the effect of Odd-Eyes is, all made complete with the epic OST coming back after being interrupted by Yuri earlier.

And Yuri FINALLY loses... only for Zarc to resurface in full dragon form using the revived Astrograph (bonus for the dimensions now being visible in the background). Also, Yuya's pendant flying off might be of some importance during future episodes.

Next episode: Zarc looks cracked just like Madara did when he revived, and I don't like the design of that humanoid dragon form that can be seen when Zarc lands in front of Sora and Edo. I hope it doesn't stick on him. Yeah, and Sora and Edo lose the duel 100%. How this is going, the writers are going to make all of the Lancers lose to Zarc one by one, until Ray revives to stop him.

Completely agree with everything you said. This episode, everything is just so epic! This episode is better than I imagine. I will be too long if I say what I feel about this episode. There are so many things that I want to say about how great this episode is...! XD

Though, my excitement for the next episode is ruined in half because of Zarc's humanoid dragon design. I really hate his design. If they really want to make him look like a monster, at the very least, remove Yuya's goggles. I was hoping to finally see Zarc's real face, but I guess it won't be revealed for a long time... Don't tell me they'll reveal his face only when the series is about to end...(_ _lll)

Of course I know that he will definitely resembles either Yuya (and Yuto and Yugo) or Yuri (he is the only counterpart who has different eyes), and I already saw the illustration drawn by the animator, but what I meant is I still want to see it on screen, animated. Plus, even though they're sharing the same face, with that hair, attire, and the fact Zarc is older, I'm sure I'll feel different once I see his face.

HOLY FLIPPING FLIP FLAP, THAT WAS INTENSE!!!

Seriously, Yuri's crazy faces and laughter this episode were even more over-the-top than Vector, Yuya's transformation into Zarc was amazing and--I just can't wait for next episode now.

I haven't felt this happy and... hmm, satisfied? Anyway extremely euphoric about Arc-V for a while! My whole body was reacting to it and I couldn't stop moving around! ^_^ I can still feel the excitement even after almost 1 hour after watching.

I'm crazy for every part of this episode. The animation, the voice acting, the duel itself... And it wasn't only because of Yuri. Super, super based OnoKen, this is why I love the guy way too much lol. I also loved it that when Yuri started losing he completely lost his shit and just switched into pure Vector-territory face mode. YGO nutcase villains are so top-tier every time.


"I... lost...?" And then all of that super, super psycho laughing. Ahhh. YURI MADE ARC-V GREAT AGAIN

And oooooh, I finally get what Yuya's Pendulum was for, aside for creating EM monsters: holding off Zarc! Now that the pendulum is out of the game he's not gonna regain himself for a while. The awakening is complete and the Doomsday is coming. :P Oh boy does Zarcyuya look so ugly in the dragon form. Not what I expected him to look like, but it's at least better than Don Thousand!

The animation is super crisp, it's been a while since we had such good animation.

Yuri is fucking nuts, this episode he reaches Vector level.

Plot Twist! Yuya is the bad guy now (nice)!

Why does he look like a garogyle though....?

Anyway, great Ep.

Unfortunately this will be the last time we'll see such a great animation, because Ebina, the animator, won't do any animation for Arc-V after this episode (TT_TT)

I don't know the detail either. My usual source only mentioned that Ebina is leaving after this episode. I asked my source the reason of Ebina's leave, but they haven't reply my message.

Well I got what I wanted just in time for Christmas Yuri went down finally. Though the duel did end a little too quick for my liking. I know time is a factor with the whole dimension combining but still, this duel should have lasted long, this is Yuri were are talking about, one of the major villains of this series.

That being said, in a weird way Yuri won, he got Yuya to for shake his believes, and duel just to win, and that is all we needed to get Zarc.

Looks like Ray might not even show up, way to go Leo, all that trouble for nothing, you killed your daughter by what you did to Yuzu, Serena, Ren, and Ruri as they were Ray, but now they are gone, Ray is not here, so way to go.

It's actually Reiji who told Yuya to focus only to win (a suggestion that Yuya decided to follow), so even though he didn't mean to, Reiji was partly responsible for Zarc's awakening. Once Zarc reveals that this was what helped him to take control of Yuya, I don't think Reiji and the others will take it well.

Discarding Smile world wasn't a bad move. It did save his life.
I guess yuya took win at all cost too literally and now is in Zarc Mode. That's not what Reiji meant.

I do like how yuya managed to turn the tables, that Box Monster is MVP here

this episode was so good. The winning side went to either tbh. but plot is more powerful.
i think if Yuri won, the result would have been the same with Zarc Dragon appearing anyways. they did combine.

now i guess all the dimension fused?
