Yugioh GX 34

[tempestuously]

All right, these screencaps are an exercise in restraint. I warn you that not all of them are going to be pretty. Sure, there are some excellent nostalgic moments going on, especially for dragon lovers like myself. But there is also a heavy WTF factor. Just so you have a bit of hope, I do promise a reward. Just be patient and don't skip ahead like a CHEATER!

Yeah, I corrected some things thanks to franthenut.



First, say hello to the new god cards.


Obelisk V. 2


Ra V.2
Why a creature of fire and sun is now associated with ice is anyone's guess.


Osirus V.2
He's a lava boy.


Just because I really like the new Osirus. Look at his shimmering eyes.

All right, OP over. Sum up of storyline. So Juudai and his posse are hanging at the hot springs. Juudai just had a freaky dream about some scary duelist attacking him with a dragon that shot blue energy (might cap this later). He's worried about his friends. Some of his friends have already fallen to misfortune. While, he's swimming about and stealing people's towels because he's a dirty little perv, his creepy angel Kuribo leads him to another part of the springs. Juudai is immediately sucked into the world of the Duel Monsters.


This fellow is Manjoume Jun. I think he wants to be Kaiba. But then again so did Ryo. He's slightly less pissy. He's one of the elites in Kaiba's Duelist Academy.


Here's Manjoume again with main character Juudai (voice by my lovely KENN who plays Yuuta in TeniMiyu). You must wonder what they're looking at...


DUN DUN DUN KAIBAMAN!
No, I'm serious; this is actually what they call him. The duel monsters love him and call him Kaibaman-sama.


Personally, I'm all hot and bothered over his sleek new duel disk. Gimme!


As you can see, your standardized Kaibaman comes complete with all the typical Kaiba accessories such as the Battle City jacket, the tight black muscle shirt, the needless arm buckles, and the nifty leg buckles as you will note in later pictures. But he's been enhanced with black gloves (that remind me of Batman with what looks like studs (or retractable claws? 0_o), and sexy red vest.


Close up. Really ought to do something about that nose.


Oh yes, Kaibaman also has hair, lots of flowing hair. Why's it red btw? Moving on...


Of course, no Kaibaman could be complete without his pride and joy.


As an extra bonus, today's Kaibaman includes the ability to copy himself. Two Kaibamans for the price of one.


But as any duelist knows, there's one thing better than Kaibaman: BLUE EYES!


Ohhh memories.


Look, the lovers bestest best buddies in the world get their own eyecatch.


Kaibaman doesn't play around with Juudai the way he once did with Yuugi. No, this one's out for the kill. Introducing the Blue Eyes Destruction Burst Magic Card. It can simulate the Blue Eyes' attack perfectly, unfortunately for dear Juudai.


There are some ugly buggers in the GX. Manjoume thinks so too.


Another old friend takes the stage.


And our Kaiba clone does what Kaiba does best. Gloat and rant. Thatta boy, Kaiba.


Time to call in the rest of the family.


And the classic smirk of smugitude.


Ha ha. Juudai thinks he's actually has a chance. You don't take on the throne, pipsqueak.


Just reminding everyone what the final score will be when this match is over.


Ok, the Kaibaman's just taken Kaiba's penchant for wearing tight clothes to a whole new level. He looks like he has man boobs!


Here, have the rest of the dragon clan to clear your mind of that comment. Wait, three Blue Eyes. You know what this means.


BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON!


Yes, Kaibaman, that entitles you to another smirk.
Actually he's smirking because Juudai's all confident about his ability to win. Pssh.


Launching Ultimate Burst Spray. Look at the lovely backdrop.

Interlude to explain things here. So Kaibaman and Juudai's monsters are both going at each other. Juudai's monster has been given a boost to make it stronger. It seems Kaibaman will lose for sure.


But you know our boy, always one step ahead.


Loo-sa-errr!


Happy Kaibaman. You suck, Juudai.

So then Juudai and Kaibaman talk. I can't understand Japanese so I'll be a good little fangirl and not make random speculations. As franthenut pointed out, "Kaibaman gave Juudai a peptalk."


Still knows how to exit with the cocky walk of his.

OK, who's still with me? We now have one last special treat.




The real deal this time.


Hee. His hair is in his eyes now.
How old is he? 20? How many years after Duel Monsters does this take place?


*continues to have joygasm*

Few things I noticed about this episode. One, Yugioh GX has seemed to have merged with Pokemon because the duelists like talking to their duel monsters and they appear in an alternate dimension like the yamis used to. Two, the new duel monsters are kind of pussies pathetic, especially Juudai's. Bubbleman? Give me a break. I do hope that I get a little more about Kaiba in the next episode. Maybe something's going down at his academy and he's going to have to bust some skulls. Well, probably not. But just a few minutes of him talking would please me too.

Krack-tastic!

ACtualy, Kaibaman is fromthe videogames. He was part of a live action show that Mokuba made the Big Five play in to humilate them. It was made into a card as a promo for a game and then somehow made it into the anime.

Kaibaman gave Juudai a peptalk. Also, Juudai is NOT trying to collect puzzle piece. The peices got given out and some have been lost. If you don't know anything abotu this show do NOT try and summerise!

... and there is no statue to Yuugi. Get your facts steight.

yay Kaiba! We need more Kaiba.

[guardian-yugi.livejournal.com]

Juudai sucks! Up with Kaiba!!! Just wait.. maybe they'll even bring back adult Yugi. OH THE JOY! *wants to see Yugi kick Juudai's ass... and Kaiba kick Juudai's ass... and tag team Kaiba and Yugi kick Juudai's ass*

Actually, I wasn't that intested in GX to begin with, but I decided to glance at the screen shots. Some of them were nice, others made me feel like pulling an Oedipus and gauging my eyes out. XD Ah, but given my usual attitude, if Kids WB picks up the show, I'll probably at least try the chopped up version.

With a calmer head, explanations and minor corrections.

First note: The God Cards 2.0 aren't aren't actualy. They're some ledgondary card trio blahblahblah. Think the knights in Doma. They have yet to appear in the show but have been mentioned. So even though they basicly are Godccards 2.0. they aren't. [Rule Number 1: DOn't expect GX to make sence and you'll enjoy it better. :)]

All right, OP over. Sum up of storyline. So Juudai and his posse are hanging at the hot springs. Juudai just had a freaky dream about some scary duelist attacking him with a dragon that shot blue energy (might cap this later). He's worried about his friends. Some of his friends have already fallen to misfortune. While, he's swimming about and stealing people's towels because he's a dirty little perv, his creepy angel Kuribo leads him to another part of the springs. Juudai is immediately sucked into the world of the Duel Monsters.

The reason he's having angsty issueyness: The last few eps have seen alot of Yami no Game action. After nearly loosing to Darkness, Vampire Chick [Camilla or some such.] shows and cheats alot and defeats Chronos (No mourning here. :D) and Kaizer Ryou (She cheats NASTY like there) and when they lose, they're turned into plush dolls (You see the recap of that in the opening) IN 3 of the 4 Yami no Duels, people have been used as hostages, basicly. In the duel vs Darkness, Shou (the little one with glasses) and Hayato ( the one that looks like a Koala. -_- Poor Hayato....) would have been toasted by lava if Juudai lost. In the one vs Camila, she used Shou's soul as a hostage so that Kaizer Ryou would lose and she tried to make it so everyone's soul woul dbe lost or some such but Juudai's notreallyaSennenItembutsois broke that. When Juudai beat Vamp Chick, Ryou and Chronos were restored. So, minus some ego brusing and mild trama that I'm sure the show will forget about, everyone's fine.

As for the towels: Juudai only stole Shou's towel. :) Somehow, Shou stole Manjoume's which was the majority of keep away. *Grins* Shou never did get his towel back though...

And there should be an 'Again' at the end of your coment. :) I think this has to be at least the 3rd bloody time DuelMonsters Land has comeout to say 'HI!' to Juudai. >< It's getting OLD. ><

This fellow is Manjoume Jun. I think he wants to be Kaiba. But then again so did Ryo. He's slightly less pissy. He's one of the elites in Kaiba's Duelist Academy.

Manjoume actualy is more like Ren/Len from Shaman King then Kaiba. Kaizer Ryou is the Kaiba. With less emotions. :D And Manjoume's just gone through major softening [His pride kinda went into the blender andh e's a bit... erm... He's not well. :D He was yelling at hallucinations and--- Well, I don't call that ep his acid trip for anything but that's a side. :)] He used to be a big asshole who was trying to act like Yami Bakura but he's better now.


Also, Kaibaman =/= Kaiba. Eventhough he's basicly Kaiba as a Duel Monster. -_- The animators just HAD to get him in tehre somehow. ><

[and side fangirlish twich: Shou isn't ugly! ;_; And... no, poor Hayato looks like a freak but he's really a sweety... ^^;



Additional on the peptalk: BAsicly (if I'm remembering right) Kaibaman's doing the 'You did good' thing and Juudai has a fanboy moment and remember 'Oh hey, right! Dueling is FUN! *sparkle*'
