----------------------------------------
Duel continues with Yuya and Gongenzaka. It was like one of those classic matches with the Pendulum summonings. Eh, I'm fine with it but I was actually hoping Gongenzaka would win. He's an underrated character in this series. But oh well, maybe some other day...

At least he fought well.

Wow! That duel did not disappoint!

Was not expecting Pendulum Fusion to be used again. And not only that, Yuya used it TWICE! It's so great to see these two characters have evolved their dueling since the first episodes.

Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon looks awesome. I hope we see it more in the future.

Finally, the Junior Youth Championships will start. I hope to see some great duels!

You know what, at some point I really have enough of that stupid action card bs. If they would properly use it, ok, but having the main character in a single duel jump multiple times to a action card, conveniently finding one in reach just before the attack hits (even riding the monster that is attacked) and without even looking playing the EXACT card that saves him in the situation he is currently in is just beyond ridiculous.

I know that they also draw the right card at the right time, but I'm ok with this for the sake of Yu-Gi-Oh, also atleast the characters know the cards in their decks and there is always the tiny chance that they will draw the card they need... but action cards is that "lucky draw" x10 since he can't possibly know where to find a card in time and what kind of cards are scattered on the field to begin with, plus even if he doesn't get a action trap, how high is then also the chance of him drawing a magic card that is even useful in his situation?

I really hate this, it's just a convience deus ex machina for the writers so that they don't have to come up with meaningful ways for the main character to get out of a bad spot using the cards he has actually in his deck and his hand. Because with Yuya's stupid deck he would've lost already multiple times over, since his hand is always just full with monsters that he spams using Pendulum Summon.

(How convinient can pendulum monsters even get at this point? They are magic/trap card and effect monsters at the same time, can summon multiple monsters no matter their level that you only really destroy by removing them from the game and don't even need any resurrection card to special summon destroyed ones EVERY SINGLE TURN. And now they have even have monsters with effects that let you fusion summon without any extra card or cost, isn't that just awesome?)

Okay just as we thought, Yuya wins this duel.

It was able to use Fusion without a Fusion was impressive. I thought Gongenzaka put a valient duel, but it was just over matched. I don't know how I feel thought about this duel being the easiest of Yuya's qualify duels. Gongenzaka put Yuya back against the wall like the other three, I hate to admit it but I think quiz master gave Yuya the most trouble.

Anyway the twist Gongenzaka might still get in the tournament, I hope so like to see him and Yaiba duel one more time.

Reji erasing the LDS trio memories, that seems shaddy, and puzzling because they don't anything incriminated and they were willing to live bait for him, and nothing really happened to get them to change their loyalty to him, but than I realised it, it is so them and Shun in same room and not have them try to kill him. Looks like Yuya and Shun is going to duel in the finals. I did wonder who Yuya was going to duel in the finals. I didn't think Yuto and Shun were going to be in the tournament, and Shingo seems more like a semi finalist opponent than a final tournament, I guess that answered my question.

Next episode, Yuzu reaction to seeing Meiry is hillarous, jealous Yuzu is as scarry as jealous Akiza, Yuya look out. And it looks like Reiji has a little brother, I know he is suppose to be this series Kaiba or Kiteo, but do they have to make it so obvious, and do something different and not give him a little brother? He might turn out to be an awesome character, but right now I am disappointed. And you just know he is going to kidnapped at some point.

1. You can only Pendulum summon monsters whose levels are between the scales that you have set.
2. The only way you can revive Pendulum monsters is if you have the right Pendulum scales.
3. Trump Witch requires you to use monsters on your field to conduct a fusion summon. That's a pretty big restriction.
4. How is winning with an action card "a convienient deus ex machina?" It doesn't have any more or less meaning than winning with a card in your deck.
5. You do realize that the cards on the fields aren't randomized, right?

I still rather Reiji be an only child to change things up a bit, but could they have giving him a littler sister instead, to give something different with this Yu Gi Oh character trope.

Really good duel and I enjoyed the double fusion and the poly pendulum monster. Can't wait for the youth tournament and finally see Yuzu in action hopefully.

1. I know. I meant no matter their level that you could summon 3 level 7 monsters if you had a scale 2-8 for example.
2. Same, I know. Doesn't change what I wrote.
3. Because that is so hard if the fusion material monsters are pendulum monsters that you can just special summon on the same turn?
4. I explained that in my post TWO times. There are multiple reasons and I pointed every single one out.
5. Maybe there are always the same cards on the same fields, that doesn't change the fact that you don't know which one is where. If so, that would completely destroy the purpose of action traps. So having Yuya not only never get a action trap but also the exact action card he needs for the situation he is in is pretty ridiculous.

I don't like Action cards, but seeing how Powerful is Pendulum Summon, and the great effects of some of the new monsters, I can understand why they use it in the anime.

And remember, they STILL use 4000 LP, since the first Yu-Gi-Oh!

I still remember when they only used 2000 LP, ridiculous, right? xD

Oh... if only they used 8k LP, instead of Action cards... how awesome it woud be, REAL-ANIME duels :D

Finally... Action cards are still better than Riding duels and their Speed counters :S

Finally two different monsters in the Pendulum Zones. I was expecting that Beast-Eyes is a Contact Fusion Monster, since it's a Contact Fusion Monster in real life.

You need to have the Fusion monsters in your Extra deck in order to Fusion Summon. You didn't even wondered why those monsters were just magically appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the Duel. That's more deus ex machina than the Action Cards, seriously. But most likely, they're probably made by Yuuya's pendulum.

People still complaining about DeM in YGO?

Seriously Yuya may be creating deck as he show goes but that is still nothing compared to Yuma Shining Draw which create card very specific(ZW card) to counter card that already on he field in the middle of duel. Action card may be handy but it effect so far have been + atk to dodge an attack.

1. Okay.
2. Okay.
3. Yeah, it is pretty hard to do that. Trump Witch's scale is 4.
4. Both Yuya and his opponents can use action cards. That alone proves that it isn't a Deus Ex Machina.
5. The cards aren't randomized. They're placed on specific parts of the field.
That really doesn't destroy the purpose of action traps. If anything, it gives the duelists more incentive to memorize the field they're on.

everything right is super super true. Yuuya would die in a real duel. The action cards is so stupid. The writers have abused this. Also now Yuuya is pulling fusion cards out of his ass now.

A lot of cgi in this one. Music also seemed a bit loud at times. Pretty bad episode in my opinion. He bring out another crazy card but there are just so many things wrong with this episode, character, and deck that I found everything hard to enjoy. I really hope this won't be like GX where the mc takes up 95% of the duels because I honestly like everyone else in this more than Yuuya.
