Thread: Katsumi Ono Tweets and Other Background Info

New Ono Tweets. :U Also added them into the first post. Also put the Antinomy name settei into the useful settei list.

katsuono
アンチノミーとして記憶を取り戻した時には、ブルーノの記憶も残ってました。遊星と戦う時にはデルタアクセ ルを伝授する為に真剣勝負をすると決めていました。遊星が敗れればそれまで、だが勝って未来を変えて欲しい という気持ちでした。

katsuono
そう思うにいったたのは、ブルーノは記憶を無くし遊星達と本当の人間関係を作っていたコトによ りますね。

ariestellar
なんどもすみません質問を変えます。アポリアたちの脳は死んだ本人のもの?　Z-ONEが創り上げたもの?

katsuono
全部ゾーンの作った機械ですよ。記憶がダウンロードされてると思ってください。


seven_fall
もしよろしければお答えお願いします。ブルーノの目にハイライトがなかったのって、何か理由があるのでしょ うか?

katsuono
機械のキャラはハイライト無しで基本やってたのですが、普通じゃないハイライトをつける場合も ありました。

null_D
突然な質問申し訳ありません。「149話 蘇った英雄」の回で、Z-oneの回想シーンにおいて、遊星の別の未来が出ているのですが、ｺｽﾞﾐｯｸ･ﾌﾞﾚｲｻﾞｰ･ﾄﾞﾗｺ ﾞﾝやﾍﾟｶﾞｻｽ･J･ｸﾛﾌｫｰﾄﾞ杯の詳細な設定はあるのでしょうか。

katsuono
流石にそこの詳細までは決まってないです…

yumigen
5D'sの制作お疲れ様です。毎週楽しみにしています!長年ずっと気になっていたのですが…龍亞と龍可に名 字はありますか?ずっと無い予定だったのでしょうか。とても気になってるのでよろしくお願いし ます!

katsuono
今となっては謎のままが良いと思います。m(_ _)m

the8magician
素朴な質問なのですが、もしよければお答えください。ブルーノがポッポタイムで暮らしていた頃、ブルーノに 個室はあったのでしょうか? それから、今日の放送の冒頭で出た装飾された柱(?)は何か意味があった演出でしたら教えて下 さい。

katsuono
ブルーノには個室は無いですね。二階のリビングで暮らしてたんでしょうね。今日のファーストカットの三人の 像はファイブディーズの三人のDホイーラーがシティを守ったという意味で街の台座を三人で支えている像で表 現してます。

kirakira666
152話の質問がありますが、チーム5d’sはWRGPでアボリアさんを倒した後、アーク・クレイドルはす ぐに空から降りてきたでしょうね。でも今話遊星が見たWRGPで勝利の記念写真は何時撮られましたか?カー リー渚が写真を撮った時ジャックもうぼろぼろなのに

katsuono
アポリア倒した後とアーク・クレイドルが現れる間の写真で正解ですよ。あそこには時間経過があ ります。

teilswing
152話の世界は、151話から何年後なんですか?

katsuono
半年くらいです。

teilswing
そういえば、今のオープニングで、どうしてパワー・ツール・ドラゴンだけ、手書きだったんです か?

katsuono
使用頻度が少ないから3Dモデルを作らなかったんですね。

Katsuono: "When he regained his memories of being Antinomy, he also retained his memories of being Bruno. As such, he decided to fight seriously while trying to help teach Yusei how to preform Delta Accel Synchro. If Yusei was defeated, that was that, but he believed that Yusei could surpass him and change the future."

Katsuono: "Now that I think about it, Bruno is ultimately trying to decide between his lost memories and his true friendship with Yusei, is he not?"
= = = = = = = =
Ariestellar:
"Excuse me for changing the question so much. Is Aporia's mind that of the dying person he is named after? Or was it created and grown by Z-ONE?"

Katsuono:
"Aporia and the rest are all Machines made by Z-ONE. Please think of it as memories having been downloaded into them."

Seven_fall"
"Please answer this if possible? Is there a reason why Bruno has no highlights in his eyes?"

Katsuono:
"Machine Characters were done with the basis of not having Highlights in their eyes, so when we put highlights in them, we made sure they weren't normal."
= = = = = = = =
Null_D:
"I had a question that suddenly came to me. During "The Revived Hero" (Ep. 149), According to the scene where Z-ONE was gathering all the data on Yusei, did you guys have in-depth plans for Cosmic Blazar Dragon and the Pegasus J. Crawford Cup?"

Katsuono:
"Those are things we haven't decided on precisely."
= = = = = = = =
Yumigen:
"Goodbye to the Production team for 5D's, I looked forward to it every week. There's one thing though I've been interested in for a long time... Do Rua and Ruka have a last name? Was it something you had stored away but never got a chance to use? I'm very interested, so if you could answer it, that would be great!"

Katsuono:
"That is something that eludes even me to this day." m(_ _)m
= = = = = = = =
the8magician:
"A simple question. If it's not too much trouble, please answer. While Bruno was living at Poppotime, did he have his own room. And did the decrotive pillars at the start of 152 have some sort of symbolic meaning? Please tell me if it's not too much trouble."

Katsuono:
"Bruno had no private room. He lived on the second floor Living Room. The image of the 3 people on the opening scene pillar represents the 3 D-Wheelers of Team 5D's who protected the city, and the image of the 3 of them holding up the pedastal represents how the trio supports the city and its people."
= = = = = = = =
Kirakira666:
"I had a few questions about 152. After Team 5D's beat Aporia, the Arc Cradle immediately showed up, right? So when did Team 5D's have a chance to take that commemorative victory photo that Yusei was looking at while talking. Also, Jack's suit was ripped up when Carly took a picture, right?"

Katsuono:
"The answer you want is the Ark Cradle didn't immediately appear after Aporia was knocked down. There was some time in between his defeat and the Ark Cradle's appearance."
= = = = = = = =
Teilswing:
"How many years after is 152 after 151?"

Kstsuono:
"Somewhere along the lines of half a year."

Teilswing:
"So, why is it that Power Tool Dragon is the only hand drawn dragon in the current opening?"

Katsuono:
"Because it was use so rarely, we never made a 3D Model for it."

Lol the power tool dragon comment is kind of strange, since Ancient fairy wasnt used that much either, but it still managed to get a cg model. And dont get me started on life stream dragon.

Good questions. Like the answers
As for the last one, yeah, its weird, maybe the best answer is, he isn't a Signer Dragon.


But I still have a question if someone here use twitter and can send it to Katsumi Ono if it isn't already answered yet:

Almost at the end of episode 93 there was a scene where Zone sort of scanned Yuusei's eye, what did he do/what did he get, and if that was useful for him at the end?

Originally Posted by NeoArkadia

Katsuono:

So it wasn't four, but six months, huh.

Makes a liiiiiiittle more sense, but is still bull. Oh well. ~3~

Oh, and thanks for these, Aryn and Ark. Very informative.

Still, I get the feeling Katsuno sometimes knows as little as we do. xD Yoshida should answer these instead AND PAY FOR HIS SINS :I

Out of curiosity, I did try looking for Yoshida's Twitter, but neither result was satisfying. The more popular Shin Yoshida accounts don't appear to be him (one of them is... a book author and made no mentions of being a screenwriter?), from what I could see.

If I knew how to contact Ono, I'd ask him why they dropped the
"Sly tries to steal Stardust Dragon" sub-plot.

Is there some sort of running joke that massive amounts of reconstruction and reformation can happen in the span of half a year?

I wish someone would tweet him "Were you guys given medical marijuana while creating everything post-Goodwin, Z-ONE plot, Jikaishin, and all?"

Of all the names to pick, really, oh well looks like I won't be able to use Bruno as Antimony's alias in my ff then. Seriously, why couldn't they have just kept it as Bruno? All in favor of not paying attention to this particular piece of information?

So does that make Crow/Sherry Canon then? 'Cause if so, result.

I like those pics. The VAs look great, and I LOVE that Yusei cake!

And the cake that said Sherry loves Crow is adorable.

OMG that cake is soo cute!!!!! Both of them!
And who's the chick in the white dress beside Yuya?
I'm going to miss 5D's
I really hope we get to hear these VA in other shows. Esp the 5D's exclusives like Yuya. Cause he's seriously talented (thinks about his screams)

This is it then. The end is truly near. Here's hoping for a good on

I wholeheartedly SUPPORT this suggestion. Can we also pretend Z-ONE was actually Yuusei and that none of this shit happened 200 years in the future, too? Normally, I'm not one for flat-out ignoring canon, but in this case, I'm more than willing to make an exception.

By not accepting it as Canon. 'Cause lets face it, there was no reason for Antimony's real name not to be "Bruno" after he'd gone by it for so long. If they were going to call him Johnny they should have called him it from the start instead of Bruno. I also realise that that means, every signle time Bruno has properly dueled he's dueled under a different name. I now have a fear that Z-one is called "Bob" - pronounced with a stutter of course.

八年後でジャックが29歳になりました。

Spoiler: .

I can't translate at all but I understand Japanese a bit little. In about 8 years later where Yusei and his friends grow up in episode 154, where Jack is still a king, Aki becomes a doctor, etc. Yusei and Crow are 28 years old, Jack is 29 years old, Aki is 26-27 years old, Rua and Ruka are 19 years old and Kiryu is 30 years old.

I think, Cosmic Ghost's post says the 154 DVD edition will include a textless version of the ending?

Maytf5 So what is the final ages for Yusei and the gang? (When Yusei wasn't around, Jack returned to being King, and Aki was a Doctor?) Please tell me.

Katsuono
It's 8 years after everything, so Jack's about 29.

Does this Special ED mean Ending Credits or an alternative ending, do we know?

@Antinomy315 ジャックやシェリーが融合を使ったように、シンクロ召喚はZEXALでも出ますか？

@katsuono それは分からないですけど、原点回帰してルール説明を含めて展開してるようなので、一通りの召喚はすろんじ ゃないかと予想しますね。

Er...is it safe now?

Anyway...the latter three questions are just about people's ages. Kiryu is two years older than Yusei, Crow is one year younger than Yusei, Aki's two years younger, and Bruno is undetermined because he's not human.

The first question is something about Jack and Sherry's duel...I couldn't quite make it all out.

Whelp, Ono is sure productive with Tweets. Here's the collection of every single Tweet since my last post, even if these include ones already posted above. Just making sure we aren't skipping even one Tweet by accident.

Given 5D's has concluded, it means TWEETS EVERYWHERE~

シューティングスターとスカーレッド・ノヴァのチューナに関する効果はそれぞれ未来への可能性と過去から積 み重ねて得た物をイメージしてるんですか?

シューティングスターに関しては未来を掴む力ということで良いと思いますね。今のシリーズは機械対生命の形 になっていて、生命の象徴、進化の象徴がシンクロモンスター。シンクロを促すチューナーがパワーアップの鍵 を握る二体は更なる進化の象徴といったトコロ。

Null_D
登場したのが初代3ウォーリアーなのも思い入れがあるからなのでしょうか

katsuono
そうですし、もっと出したかったけど尺が無かったのです。バトルフェイズ中にシンクロ、シンクロキャンセル を三回くらい繰り返してなんて案もあったんですけどね。

katsuono
少し思い返してみる。ラストに向けてのエスカレートをどうしようかと思っていた頃がラグナロク戦くらいで、 神属性のカードが出てきた。そこで、もうやってしまえと海を割り、時空を割き、地平線の向こうにいるモンス ターがダイレクトアタックしてくるなんてコトをしたんだ。(源平討魔伝の頼朝がネタ)

katsuono
そして迎えたニューワールド戦。序盤は謎に包まれた展開で最後の機皇帝の登場とホセの合体!コレではまだ神 を超えてないので、アポリアに合体してからは市街戦にして街を破壊して遊星がデュエルで人を守る事にした。 これはとてもうまくいったと思う。

katsuono
さあ、この後どうしよう?ラストに向けてもっと変化をつけていきたい!そこで背景を変えて荒唐無稽なデュエ ルだ!!と言う事で、シェリー戦から背景をトリッキーにしてみる。コンなのもありだろう。アポリア戦は今度 は基地と合体!グラディウスみたいにデザインしたのは宮崎氏。そんな世代です。

katsuono
ここまで来て次は宇宙!まずは太陽の周りでプロミネンスを潜ってかわしてなんて沙羅曼陀(漢字あってるかな ?)みたいです!そんな世代です。超新星爆発にブラックホールなんてめちゃくちゃをやり大変盛り上がりまし た!理屈は気にしないで雰囲気です!聖闘士星矢くらいなのりで楽しかった。

katsuono
そしてアポリアvsゾーン。瓦礫の上にいるゾーン。始めのOPの瓦礫の上にいる遊星とダブらせているのを気 づいた方はいたでしょうか?ゾーンの巨大な手が現れ、巨大なカードによるデュエル!「あれがゾーンのデッキ !」クロウ「でけえっ!」のところででけえからなんだ!とツッコミを受けたかった。

katsuono
ゾーンvs遊星を迎え究極対決!ゾーンのデッキはパルプンテを連続してくるというコンセプト。遊星は空を飛 ぶし時械神は次々出て来てプルプンテみたいな効果を使うしどうすんだ!みたいにすすんでゾーンの正体に関し ては大分悩んだところ。

katsuono
しまいにゃ遊星は生身で宇宙に行く、二輪車が宇宙に出て行く様はカッコいいやら可笑しいやらで大変面白かっ た!!リミットオーバーアクセルシンクロを決めるところは金色!!って決めてました!最後の方はサンライズ 出身の人達がコンテをヘビーローテーションでやってくれて感謝してます!

katsuono
最後の3本のコンテを連続で描いたが、ゾーン戦のラストであんなに荒唐無稽なことが起きてる大丈夫なのかと いうのが頭にあったのと、あのスポーツのような真剣勝負のなかで今まで実現できなかったコトをやるぞ!って 想いでやってました。

katsuono
背景に変化を持たせる事が一番やりたくて、走りのなかで雨を降らせたり、二本道に別れて信念を語ったり、3 Dだからこそ出来るアングルやアクションをさせる。トンネルのファンのカットは去年のツーリングの時に絶対 やろうと思ってた。工場街もそうです。

katsuono
飛島の工場地帯を走った時に高速から見る風景が地平線の先まで工場だらけで感動して、絶対やろうと思ってた 。久々にきたラリーが女の子っぽくなっててもう少し男の子だったよと言った時に、初めの頃ラリーを男にしよ うか女にしよか考えてたのを思い出した。

katsuono
最後は工場内でデュエル!一話と同じ!!一話と同じような場所とカットも作った。溶鉱炉の上でのドローはバ カバカしくて好き!最後は絶対ジャンクウォリアー!これは彦久保さんと僕のなかでは決まってた。最後のスク ラップフィストは巨大な手が工場に落ちて大爆発!

katsuono
あの手は笑えるつもりでやってたんだけど、かっこよすぎて笑えなかった。モンティパイソンの足をやりたかっ たんだけどな… やっぱエフェクトにしちゃうとカッコ良くなってしまう。デュエル後の埠頭はジャックが遊星からスターダスト を奪っていった場所とイメージをかぶせてます。

katsuono
遊星のデュエルが工場が最後っていうのも、遊星が始めと同じ場所に戻り、遊星がネオ童実野シティに残る暗示 になったかと思います。あまりむちゃくちゃは起きないスポーツのようなデュエルでしたがゾーン戦までとは、 違う形で盛り上げられたとホッとしてます。

katsuono
本編の絵は変わりません。

Phew!

I am keeping this separate, since XYZ posted this, but this isn't from Ono's Tweets. However, as I mentioned earlier, Pigmon can be quite trusted when it comes to information.

pigmon
昨夜寝不足なのでそろそろ寝ます。あぁでもあと一言。アキとのシーンは、二人の離れていく指が無言の語らい をしたのが素敵でした。あの後、向き変えてちょっと寂しげに出て行く遊星も良かったです。力入れずに歩いて る遊星って初めて見たような・・・?(笑)

masyuu_nemunemu
あの時の心境が後の牛尾とのシーンで皆には残って欲しいという本音に繋がるんですね。僕はアキと遊星のシー ンは結構好きなんですが、意外と批判もあるみたいですね。みらいいろのEDの事もあったので荒れるかなとも 思いましたけど僕はああいう展開はありだと思いますよ。

pigmon
そうなんですか?あのシーンに関する批判は私は全く目にしてないですね…　私はすごく好きなシーンです。あ の距離が今の二人にとってベストなんだなぁと。とにかく絵がとっても綺麗でしたよ・・・　永久保存版。って いうかDVD買います!

masyuu_nemunemu
DVDはもう少し作画修正入れますのでオンエアよりは納得のいくものになる予定です。あと、特別なEDカッ トが入ってるのは監督が告知してましたね。

Hmmm...the haruka_f question is something about Sherry's dad and Yliaster. I don't think that one's been on this thread yet.

In the last one Pigmon is asking to Murayama Shuuji the Animation Director of the last episode.

Katsuono

I thank you for your Acceleration today, everyone. T.G. Halberd Cannon appeared today as a Delta Accel Synchro due to a super nova explosion. Please take care next week!

Kamikazenowaiat
Do Shooting Star Dragon and Scar-Red Nova Dragon's effects concerning tuners deal with the possibility of the future and the strength that's accumlated from the past, respectively?

Katsuono
Shooting Star Dragon has been said to be something that has the power to grasp the future. The current plotline is based around machines that oppose the existence of life. Synchro Monsters, thus, are symbols of life and evolution. These two Synchros who use Tuners to further power up are the embodiment of ever progressing further evolution.

How old were Yusei and his friends in the finale. (The only one we didn't see was Yusei, we did see Aki as a Doctor and Jack who returned to being King). It just came to mind to ask.

Katsuono
Jack was 29 years old, which is about 8 years after the final duel.
= = =
??? I have no context for this one
= = =
Katsuono
I remember a little. When we were thinking about the grand finale, with the duel with Team Ragnarok, who had DIVINE cards. Thor already split the sea, so Loki split Space-Time to return, and we had a monster who stood on the very opposite end of the horizon. (We were inspired by Genpei Tōma Den)
* Genpei Tōma Den = The Genji and the Heike Clans.

Katsuono
About the New World Duel. Despite having decided Jose's appearance, combining, and Meklord Emperor early on, those facts were still a mystery! Because they still hadn't exceeded god, I decided to make the duel when Aporia was formed a duel to protect people, changing it into a city smashing street fight. I think it worked out well.

Katsuono
Now what we shall we do after this? We're going to change things up with the End. There'll be an absurd duel which changes the background over and over!! This duel is one against Sherry that'll be made difficult due to this trick. Another duel will be against Aporia who this time combines with a base, Mr. Miyazaki's designs of it reminds me of Gradius. Such is that generation.

Katsuono
Then we go into space. Driving through a prominence and going around a sun. sorta like Salamander (Life Force). I can't wait to see it. In the confusion of the supernova explosion, a Black Hole formed. The reason for this was to create an anxious atmosphere. It was great how it was introduced like Saint Seiya.

Katsuono
And Aporia and Zone. Z-ONE was on top of the junk pile. Did anyone notice it was a double-sized version of the junk pile? Z-ONE's hands appear and he duels with a Deck of huge cards. Crow goes "That's Zone's Deck!?". Thus coming off as the Tsukkomi (Straight Man) in this stituation.

Katsuono
Finally we get to Yusei vs Z-ONE! The concept of Z-ONE's deck is Hocus Pocus from Dragon Quest. How Yusei flies in the air and confronts the Time Lords' varying effects is quite like the lottery of the spell Hocus Pocus. As we go on, I worry about Z-ONE's character alot.

Katsuono
Yusei is a human driving into outerspace. When we see Yusei drive his vehicle into Space, I think it's cool, it's strange, and it's really fascinating. The stance for preforming Limit Over Accel Synchro was decided to be gold. Please, don't mind this decision. {Something about thanking Sunrise (Gundam probably for Hyper Mode), and the song Heavy Rotation).

Katsuono
The last three episodes were all animated at the same time. We had it on mind whether we could go from the absuridity of the fight with Z-ONE to this, with returning to those who play this game as if it were a professional sport!

Katsuono
After that, I'd made a few last minute changes. We had the run shower down as they drove. We tried to show two different roads, but holding onto faith for one another while being a lone. Because it was 3D, we did them in an angle that really showed the action. I think I had to deal with a fan's cut (rage?) in a tunnel last year while touring. And then we get to the Industrial District.

Katsuono
When we get to the Industrial District, it's like running through a factory area in Tobishima, with factories spanning from horizon to horizon while going at full speed. I think I came up with this. When we decided to bring back Rally after a long time, he originally looked like a girl, so we wanted him to look more like a boy. I myself was confused about Rally at first, trying to remember if he was decided to be a man or a woman.

Katsuono
The end of the Duel is at the factory. As a story ending, it works perfectly! It's absurd, and I liked what we did with the furnace! And the ending ends with Junk Warrior! This was decided between Mr. Hikokubo and me! A huge fist falls for the final Scrap Fist, with a huge explostion!

Katsuono
Well, despite agreeing on a huge fist, it was so cool that you couldn't laugh. I kinda wanted to do a foot like the one from Monty Python... I thought with that kind of effect it'd be cool. The wharf after the duel is the same one where Jack stole Yusei's Stardust Dragon.

Katsuono
Yusei's last duel being at the factory brings the series full circle to where it began. I like to think that it suggests Yusei left Neo Domino City behind him. After the horrendous battle with Z-ONE, I wondered if it would be too much to go with a SportsyDuel. I was relieved with the different forms of excitement and tension the two hand.

Just curious, excuse me. Are Yusei and Crow the same age?

Katsuono
I believe it was established Crow is one year younger than Yusei.

sleep_ykk
Hrm, following you, I'd like to ask, how old are Kiryu and Bruno.

katsuono
Kiryu is two years older than Yusei. And because Bruno isn't human, he has no age.

tyou27
How old is Aki? Is she younger than Yusei?

katsuono
Aki is 2 years younger than Yusei.

How do you do, I apologize. Can you tell me how many years later the epilogue was. Also, the age of the twins then?

katsuono
It's eight years later. The twins are 21. I think.

Would it be possible to expect an official 5D's Fan Book with summaries, unmentioned D-Wheel names, unreleased card information, timelines, and character profiles?

Retweet about this. Have people reach out for it! For 5D's!

With the Yu-Gi-Oh! Anime, how do things usually work out. In what order are the Storyboarding, Scenario, and Duel Planning?

Katsuono:
First we plot out the episode(s). Then we write up a Duel. We write up a script/scenario. We adjust and tweak the duel to fit the scenario, make a few minor decisions and then go to storyboarding.

Was the "God" being referred to in the term of the "Card Given by God" that was used when Shooting Star Dragon appeared, referring to Z-ONE?

katsuono
Correct.

I have a question, why did Sherry's father take the card "Z-ONE" that leads to the alternate reality where Z-ONE exists? Was he a respected member of Yliaster?

Katsuono
Essentially, he began to doubt the orders of what he was making for Yliaster.

So from beginning to end, how much time has passed? When Yusei was "Daniel", he was 19. Is he 20 now?

katsuono
The plot of the series takes place over roughly 2-3 years, from Yusei being 18 to 20.

The opening features Dark Magician and Kuriboh, which where key cards in the original Yu-Gi-Oh! What are they supposed to reflect in terms of the series? I'm anxious to know what your intent was.

katsuono
They go out in order of evolution. It's echoing the line of the song being played when that happens.

[Irrelevant Praise] How long ago did the events concerning Team Satisfaction occur?

About 3 years ago.

When does the plot of the whole Paradox incident occur? I think it's either before or after Crashtown based on the plot description.

Katsuono
It's just before Crashtown.

In an attempt to struggle for a new power, Yusei went with fusing two Synchros together. Fusion was Juudai's gimmick. Speed Fusion has Yugi's Trump, Dark Magician, on it. Could it be said that his solution was based on his meeting with those two?

katsuono:
Yes, of course!

[Something about 154 and the Ending]


Someone can do the Ending-154 one and Pigmon. My brain's spent.

Wow, this... confirms a lot of information about the timeline as well. This is just awesome.

Thank you so much for all your effort, Ark. <3 You go take your well earned rest now!

I can't gurantee 1000% accuracy on his ramblings about the Ark Cradle Arc, but. Otherwise? I think I got most of the dates and stuff right.

It's sad when they don't even remember the gender of there own characters.

Thank you for all these wonderful translations Ark.

Wow, this is awesome, Thanks Neo Ark

So this means that Drago Equites was just a call back to the previous series and was never meant to be a Yuusei's supporting card.

That's pretty awesome how Yusei was influenced by meeting Judai and Yuugi with his more positive attitude and the Fusion alternative. Glad the movie is confirmed before Crash Town since in the film, he remembers TS Kiryu.

So it seems Yliaster gave orders to Sherry's dad about the Z-ONE card. Since he began to doubt it, they wanted to then get the company from him which he then refused and had the card hidden in Sherry's bear.

I kinda like how everyone's age is all over the place. I mean, it makes sense now. It was a major priority for Jack to get a job since he was 20-21 during that time being 1 year older than Yusei. Aki being 17-18 during this arc explains why she was able to be in school despite her growth *shot*

Also really like the references they made during the duel with Yusei and Z-ONE and how over-the-top awesome they aimed for the final duel. Does come full circle on the area being in the Industry district that was Satellite and that Junk Warrior faces off against Red Demon's Dragon.
