DANG IT! WHAT A TEASE!!!! HOW COULD THEY LEAVE US LIKE THAT??!?! HOW COULD THEY?!?! The scene happened so fast and it was so short that I was like, “NOOOO!!! TELL US MORE!!!!” and then Yuuya just had to show up and POOF goes both Shun and Yuuto (Knight). Yes we now have a name for our handsome Knight! His name is Yuuto, and he is taking matters into his own hands of preventing his comrade Shun from targeting innocent victims who are someway or another involved with the LDS/LDC. I think the biggest highlight was the confirmation that Yuzu and Ruri are somehow connected, be it parallel worlds, alternative universe, time paradox, or perhaps be the one and same person. I am not going to lie, in a way I kind want it to be the latter because of the way both Knight err, I mean Yuuto and Shun had both reacted when they first saw her. Yuuto very quickly learned or came to accept that the Yuzu is probably not Ruri so he dealt with Shun accordingly when the guy almost lost it when he saw Yuzu for the first time. (He probably felt horrible for shoving her once he thought she was Ruri, or least he better have!) But what really gets to me is how profound his reaction was, he was shocked yet so relieved because he couldn’t believe that she was standing right before his eyes after having worked so hard doing whatever he is doing to get her back.
Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V Ep 21 Img 0016While Shun’s and Yuuto’s motives for attacking LDC and those who are involved with the corporation and school is still a mystery, we did learn that one of their missions was to find Ruri (that we have no idea what had happened to her). When Shun saw Yuzu the first thing that came out of his mouth was ‘Did you get away?! Did you manage to escape on your own?!”. I am anxiously awaiting to find out what had happened to her and whether she and Yuzu are one and the same person, without any memories. There is obviously some sort of key connection between the two girls, and I am dying to find out.
It appears very likely now that only Yuuto is affected by Yuuya appearing at the same time and place as he is considering that Shun didn’t disappear when Yuuya previously encountered him. Whether this means that Yuuto is an AU character of Yuuya or some kind of unique individual (to be affected by Yuzu’s bracelet that have been frequently acting as a security measure), that remains as pure speculation.
Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V Ep 21 Img 0025Poor Yuzu is sick and tired of not knowing what is going on. She really needs to find an opportunity to talk with Yuuto face to face without any interruptions or interference, that’s the only way I can see her getting any reliable answers, but I doubt we will get that any time soon. If anything, perhaps that moment will happen once the tournament starts (which I more or less suspect won’t begin until somewhere along the lines of Episode 28 and 40). On the more brighter note, it was good to see her motivated again after sulking for three episodes. It was also cute how well she and Sora were multitasking their lessons together.
Speaking of the tournament, there is a lot going to happen then. Reiji is determined to have his pendulum cards ready to use at full potential on time so that he can compete against Yuuya with it again, it is VERY likely that both Shun and Yuuto will be joining the tournament by either entering like normal competitors or crashing it like a party, and then we are definitely going to see Yuzu use her new trump card: Fusion Summoning to clear her way through the tournament. I have to say, I am curious to see whether there will be consequences of her Fusion Summoning, especially given how Yuuto had discouraged her from using it today (or maybe the Ruri he knows wasn’t a Fusion Summoner but an XYZ (since both he and Shun are XYZ duelists).
Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V Ep 21 Img 0001Yuuya had a rough day today with biting himself for not being able to see the potential and future of Pendulum Summonings and how it can evolve further. He also came to acknowledge the fact that he needs to change things up and take his entertainment style to the next level by creating new combinations to surprise both his opponents and the audience. It appears that the Polymerization card will be the key to Yuuya’s next and brilliant combination (unless of course he returns it to Yuzu before then). In fact, I am excited to see what Yuuya will do with it and how it will take him to the next level!
Last but not least, I think we can all agree that Masumi totally idolizes or has a crush on Professor Marco. I can’t get over how she pictures him (I MEAN HE’S SURROUNDED BY ROSES AND HAS THAT CRAZY CLASSIC HAIRSTYLE WITH A TWIST), not to mention she is obsessed and dead determined to find out what had happened to him and whether or not he is alright.
Next week, goodness- after having to go through that nightmare quiz duel, I am relieved to say I am looking forward to this filler duel. Yuuya’s next opponent is a young girl who can tell fortunes and she loves her handsome bishies. I couldn’t stop laughing at how she was daydreaming and speculating how dazzling her next opponent will be. I hope she swoons when she sees Yuuya, what a sight that would be!

    Where do you watch the new episodes and how do you keep track of when it’s launched as the subs sometimes take a while? O-o
    Oh! I totally agree, this episode was interesting and made me even more curious! So far the arc v plot is a mystery we still don’t know when the supposed menace will appear, and lol, it’s only me or the plot is running away from Yuya? XD
    Yuzu is more closely tied to the plot than him, it’s like our wishes/jokes for a female protagonist on YGO was granted in a way
    I also want her to be Ruri so they pull a “I must go”, like she must choose to go to Yuto’s world or stay on Yuya’s, I love sadistics choices 😀

      I follow Mono-Subs. They usually have the RAWS by Monday and translate by the end of the day or Tuesday evening- Thursday the latest if they are busy or if for whatever reasons the RAWS were delayed.
      //it’s only me or the plot is running away from Yuya? XD//
      LMAO HE ISSSSSSS!!! Blame Yuzu’s bracelet though, had she not been at the scene- MAYBE, JUST MAYBE- Yuuto wouldn’t vanish like that (but that is like 90% unlikely to happen). Oh absolutely, it’s great to see that she plays a crucial role in the developing plot. I just await some solid screen-time and awesome dueling from her because she deserves it (especially after all this shit that has been happening). I only hope that when they do resolve her character arc, they won’t push her to the side and forget about her. That’s one of my biggest pet peeves.
      It would be SO INTERESTING THOUGH for her to be Ruri and whether she had traveled from an AU or parallel world- and ugh, my goodness, the only thing I dread (whoops inner-shipper taking the reigns) is having her to choose between Yuuto and Yuuya, and potentially even SHUN depending on what their relationship was and how close they were!!!!!!!
      I am also starting to wonder, if by any chance Yuzu is Ruri, perhaps something similar had happened to Yuuya’s father as he had mysteriously vanished with a trace.

        Oh, thks!Now I can watch it!8D
        Nah, it’s ok, it doesn’t matter who she ends or doesn’t end with, fanfics fix everything XD. Hahaha! Are you even considering shipping her with Shun? XD
        I think that what surprised me so far about this YGO is that’s surprising het XD the others had so much homo that can wonder if it’s on purpose!
        If Ruri isn’t Yuzu I bet that she must be gorgeous as everyone that came from the post apocalipt world(shun and yuto) looks hot.
        I hope we can see her duel soon, I recognized the cards, her deck is pretty good for an anime deck!(spoilers of the cards that appeared):
        -The Sanctuary in the sky: If the battling monster is a fairy type the user doesnt take battle damage.
        -Cestus of Dagla: Increase a fairy’s monster attack by 500 and the damage you cause to your opponent life points increase your own life points.
        -Cards from the sky: remove 1 light fairy type monster from your hand and draw 2 cards, but you cannot special summon or conduct the battle phase.
        -Miraculous Descent: select 1 fairy monster that is removed from play and apecial summon it.
        -The fountain in the sky: When a lught monster is destroyed by battle and sent to your graveyard, you can remove that monster from play to gain life points equal to its attack.
        -Laureate François the Melodious Prima(I think the image was blurry):once pern turn: you can target 1 light fairy type monster in your graveyard and add it to your hand. You cannote activate anothe monster effects except light monsters(not sure if anime will have the same effect)
        -Elegy the Melodious Diva: all special summoned melodious monsters you control cannot be destroyed by card effects. While this special summoned card is on the field, all fairy type monsters you control gain 300 atk.
        -Serenade the melodious diva: can be treated as 2 tributes for the Tribute summon of a fairy type monstet. After you special summon this card, you can normal summon 1 melodious monster during your main phase this turn, in adition to your normal/set .(can gain this effect once per turn)
        Beckoning Light: discard your entire hand, then for each card you discarded to the graveyard by this effect, add 1 light monster from your graveyard to your hand.
        So basicaly, with the way her deck is composed she can special summon at a fast pace, secure her life points and take no damage. Her deck is awesome!

          Nah I am (probably) not going to ship Yuzu x Shun, but I know there will be people shipping them. XD
          OH MAN, I REALLY WANT TO SEE POST- APOCALYPTIC YUZU/RURI’S BADASS DESIGN!!! *O* ME WANT!!!
          Wow what a epic deck! *O* (I don’t really know much about the cards so thanks for explaining) I hope they will showcase it’s true potential as you have explained it to be during the tournament. WATCH OUT MASUMI, YUZU IS GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!!!!!!! XDDD

    That was a Good Episode! I am happy that finally the Knight’s name was revealed and it was Yuuto. I seen the name and I heard the name and it was nice to hear. I am very happy to seeing Yuzu getting stronger and it’s nice that Sora is helping her. I wonder what Yuuto meant by this card don’t suit you? Maybe he thinks Fusion Summoning is not good for her but how about try XYZ Summoning instead like me. But it will be intersting to see if Yuzu takes Yuuto’s advice to not use Fusion Summoning. But if she does then she would have to start all over on her training for the tournament. Well I felt bad for Yuzu in this Episode, having no idea what’s happening to her and her bracelet and not getting the Answers she needs and wants. Well I think the only way for Yuzu to get her answers is to talk to Yuuto by herself but someone has to keep Yuya busy and away from Yuzu while she is talking to Yuuto because if Yuya goes near Yuzu and Yuuto, Yuuto will be teleported away. I really don’t want Yuzu have to pick between Yuya and Yutto. I want Yuzu to pick Yuya. Well to bad Shun had to but in because Yuzu would have been Duel and kick Masumi Ass! I hope Yuya will use that card that Yuzu drop and he find. I hope this next duel for Yuya is not like the last two Duels because they were annoying. specially the quiz duel that was very annoying!
