Offical Yu-Gi-Oh Discussion Thread

Discuss Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh Gx and the new Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's.

Considering how the current arc is going, anyone who thinks 5D's is a poor installment in the YGO franchise has no soul.

Lol, I think it's boring but it might pick up some heat.

It's not so much boring as its taking more time to develop its concept and characters.

Yeah, After making over 6 seasons of new Yu-Gi-Oh that would happen.

Having it take four episodes to fight Jack is far better than cramming the conflict with Kaiba into a single premiere. Honestly, I think 5D's's pace is just fine. It's slower than the past shows, but that's not a bad thing.

Nope that's a good thing but what i noticed is that the show looks a little bit more mature than the other past Yu-Gi-Oh seasons.

In look, yeah, but it still carries some of the same more child-like themes (mostly the integrity of the duelist and respecting cards, etc.) It's a damn good story all the same. I LOVE the current arc.

Right now, I'm wondering when the other Signers are going to be introduced. Not that I want them to rush, but I wanna get some development on that at one point.

How do you feel about the whole D-Wheel Dueling thing?

Oh, I love it! It's a nice way to spice up the duels and I like that they switch from D-Wheel to normal. The Speed World ruleset is also pretty cool, and I'd like a "Speed Format" introduced into the actual TCG, even though I don't really play anymore.

The D-Wheels themselves also look pretty damn cool.

They are pretty kick ass, lol. You know what 5D's stands for right?

5 Dragons or 5 Duelists, right?

5 Dragons but 4Kids is dubbing it 5 Duel Scoop.

...No they're not. 5 Duel Scoop was a Japanese article with info on the series. It was meant to be a pun.

Oh really? cause from what i read it said 4KidsTv was going to air Yu-Gi-Oh 5 Duel Scoop in Fall 2008.

Give me a link.

No where does it say 4Kids changed the name to that. I remember even before 4Kids licensed 5D's people called it Five Duel Scoop because they misinterpreted the article. It's not Five Duel Scoop.

Okay great because that kinda sounds retarted for Yu-Gi-Oh lol.

It doesn't make sense in any other context, either. Five Duel Scoop implied the "scoop" on the new series given by the magazine. 5D's, Five Duel Scoop. Grammatically, it wouldn't make sense since the s joins the apostrophe in implying more than one D.

So it's either Dragons or Duelists. Either one works, since there are both five Dragons and five Signers.

To be honest GX is starting to get boring.

You serious? This has probably been my favorite YGO storyline ever. How can you not love an evil Jaden?

The evil Jaden thing was great but after that it's just downhill.

It's only been...what, a few episodes? Besides, they're taking the time to establish other characters (Adrian, and it seems to be a bit of Zane too). Just because it's slowing down in terms of action doesn't mean its slowing down in terms of story.

True.
