Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time

[Makoeyes987]

I assume they just gave a general overview of GX, as it isn't really that significant to the whole Yugi-verse compared to Duel Monsters and 5Ds.

Dude....seriously? And pray tell what makes you say that.

[63cohen]

Dude....seriously? And pray tell what makes you say that.

Is the Yubel universe ever shown to be relevent to the whole universe? I don't mean it isn't important, but a lot of it is never really referenced later on in 5Ds. The Light of Destruction is another thing entiretly though.

[Cardfighter0]

@Heather, the 3D was nice, but not really needed...It wasn't a whole lot different in 3D than it would have been without it. Still, I think I liked the 3D better. The dub was pretty good, as I said, with the exception of a line that Pegasus had. When the city was being destroyed and people were being killed by Paradox, Pegasus had to ruin all of the seriousness and say "My worst nightmares have come true, I've been upstaged", or something along those lines. There were a lot of other jokes made, but they didn't really hurt it at all...

@Cohen. Basically what they did is give a small description of each of the characters and plot lines, and then showed all of the main villains that character had to face and a small clip from the duel. In GX, they didn't even mention who Banner/Daitokuji and Yubel were.

[63cohen]

Well, flat jokes aside, how were the duel explanations?

basically just said something like "he even had to face the evil sartorius who wanted to make all of the world into mindless zombies" and then cut to a scene of sartorius saying something like "give up" and then Jaden defeating him...honestly, I wasn't a big fan of the extra footage...

GX is quite important in the YGOverse, actually. For one, the Animation Book confirms the connection between 5D's and GX: the Duel Academias. Second, GX is closely linked to DM; we see Yugi, Kaiba, Sugoroku and Pegasus appear. Kaiba and Pegasus have rather important roles (the contest for launching cards into space and the creation of Rainbow Dragon, respectively), while Yugi launched Judai off on his journey with Winged Kuriboh, sorta.

Were Kagemaru,Yubel and Darkness mentioned in the added footage or was it just sartorius?

[Cardfighter0]

Kagemaru, Sartorius, and Viper were mentioned. They showed a really small clip with Yubel (I'm pretty sure just where she caught him), but never said who she or even her name.

DM mentioned Kaiba, Pegasus, and Marik and 5Ds mentioned Roman and Rex

[Prismamaster]

So how was the scene when Jaden was in venice?

[Iamtravisporter]

Hey who won the duel? LOL

[Makoeyes987]

The extra footage recapping the series is pretty unimportant and incomplete, at least as far as the spinoffs are concerned. GX apparently only got coverage up to what was shown in the US, and since 5Ds isn't even finished, the footage shown only goes up to Season 2.

Oh well...Guess that means 5Ds isn't that important in the YGO universe, overall. LOL derp.

[YaminoRPG]

5D's is a strange show in many ways. For one, if the card game was removed and a more realistic battle mechanic put in, it would make a brilliant sci fi show. With it, it works well as a Yugioh show, far better than GX, for one unlike GX 5D's has plot.

[Xray950]

A convoluted plot filled with plot holes, but heeeey, still a plot!

I kid, I kid. I love every bit of the messed up junkfest that is 5D's and its robot emperors from the future and cards games in the sky. ;3; <3

Ontopic, it's nice that they atleast made a recap, even if it being the derpy 4kids understanding of the shows.

And is it bad if I go against the crowd and say that this has made me want to watch the movie even more? D:
...if now it would come to Sweden. Please, 4kids? Q3Q

It may have lost it's way in S2 but at least we can say 5D's has atmosphere, something GX never had. Also, come on, Zone is possibly the most interesting story we've had. Look how much debate it spawned.

The only debate I can recall of GX was what were the writers smoking when they wrote the third season and how we could get some.

[Xray950]

Someone else will have to talk for GX, since I actually haven't watched it. n_n'

But I see where you're going, and yeah. This whole Zone deal is interesting and cool. (However, it's not perfect. I could go into detail, but i do not have the energy nor the actual will to do so.)

[Kyte]

DolphinDude, wouldn't happen to see who won the art contest that was shown before the movie, have ya? XD Kinda curious since I took part in it and all..

[Makoeyes987]

I know you go gaga over 5Ds Yaminorpg, but GX had an atmosphere too. You should actually watch it sometimes. It had cracked moments, but in terms of an atmosphere, it certainly felt closer to the original than 5Ds.

Alas I missed most of GX as it aired around the time of my first and second retinal detachments and I didn't regain enough sight until 2009 to watch TV again. Now GX has ended I struggle to find episodes online to watch.

[Xray950]

What Mako said. Also, I've heard from alot of GX fans that the GX characters were much more relatable and likeable than the 5D's ones.

How is a card playing, motorcycle riding super mechanic with the ability to pull cards out of his ass and bend reality to his will not relatable?

[cheesedude]

I do find Judai more relatable than Yusei. That being said, I Judai is the type of person who I'd want to punch in the face if I met him. I really think the biggest issue in YGO anime as a whole is pacing. All three series would be much better if the number of episodes were halved.

....How would Duel Monsters be better if it were slashed in half? Are you saying it should get rid of *all* of its filler?

Some of DMs filler is epic though. I adored Doma from start to finish, even if it broke so many rules and created the DM spirit world rubbish.

I must admit though, some duels are painful to watch now that 5D's moves at such a quick pace. I mean, look how long the Kaiba Vs Yugi BC match took. If they cut the crap out of those eps they could probably do it in 3 episodes.

[cheesedude]

Ok, maybe not halved, precisely. There are plenty of episodes within the manga canon arcs that could be slashed. Duels could be shortened. There is no reason to have four-five episode long duels, except for final battles.

I do think getting rid of the filler would improve it. However, this is coming from someone who liked the filler arcs. I think they work as individual arcs, but they don't fit very well within what's already there.

The only duels that were that long are Yugi vs Pegasus, Yugi vs Kaiba, Yugi vs Marik, Yugi and Kaiba vs Dartz, and then the final ceremonial battle. All of those duels definitely deserve that length of time. They're some of the most memorable and important duels in the series.

Eh, that's debatable. Yeah, some of them are placed at bad times, but save for Doma, I think they do serve a good purpose.

[Cardfighter0]

Prismamaster: The Venice scene was awesome!

Kyte: I didn't really pay attention to the names, sorry...I dont remember the pieces either, just one struck me as surprisingly realistic.

[Kyte]

Surprisingly realistic...That sounds like Malindachan's piece. Would assume it has the 3 mains?

*cough* Perhaps this was shown? http://fav.me/d35ys87

Up to what time do you think they were at when the movie aired in Japan? The same time, perhaps a little bit later.

[Prismamaster]

I have another question DolphinDude.How did Jaden return to his time after the defeat of paradox?

Now that is up to the point of a spoil, so please, if you answer that Dolphindude, put it in spoiler tags.

At the same time, I've heard from a lot of fans (especially younger ones, which is the target audience) say that they enjoy the long duels. If duels are shorter, a lot of whining is involved, and some duels IRL really can last a good while.. so.. xD; I mean, I somewhat agree, because I do find that longer duels annoy me, but it feels like the bigger part of the fandom wouldn't want them to be shortened. D; Plus, YGO anime = one massive card advertisement, in the end.

Psh. Who needs better plot lines and more character backgrounds, when we could watch eight episode long duels? </thick sarcasm>

I'm gonna figure that all but ten minutes of the movie is one giant duel, as well. xD;

& ohmygod the contest entriessss. I liked them all, but Malindachan's is on some level of it's own in terms of awesome. Not sure if she won or not, but wow, the detail. Some of it doesn't even look like a painting. Then again, she was copying directly off of photographs, BUT STILL.

Actually the duel only lasts 20 minutes of the entire movie.

And really, the card advertising didn't really start in earnest until GX, considering before, the cards were made *after* the anime and the manga, because they were whatever Takahashi made up for the story. It was only when the anime became the source material, that the anime began heavily churning out cards *to* make real life cards.

[Yuuki Judai]

That makes me happy. At least it's not the entire movie. xD;

& mmhmm, I didn't say it started out that way, it's just.. that way now, unfortunately. :/



I keep wanting to ask questions about the film, but then I remember that I'm trying not to spoil much for myself. I'm not even watching the Japanese version.. until after I see the dub. ( -gasp!- )

Unfortunatelly that's the current marketing strategy for the YGO series - more new cards with cool effects, new rules for dueling and respectively longer duels. The target group are the children, so the series turned out to be one huge, multyserial card advertisment. Sad fact for the bitter fans like us, but true. Only the hope remained at the very distant end of the tunel. xD

It didn't show how he got back, but I presume Yusei dropped him off on his way back or something...

I see...you guys aren't shallow at all...XD

[kahunyu]

I honestly wish we got more Paradox. We see him laughing at the trio, then he rages like Placido, then he goes half-crazy like Aporia, then he gets blown up without leaving a trace. It's like seeing an Aporia playback over the course of 8 episodes at like x4 the speed.

Really, not much to say except that everybody pulls new cards out of their asses and with the exception of Stardust Mirage, Yusei's cards didnt do much. Yusei's the only character relevant to the movie that doesn't happen to have a few screws loose when it comes to accepting the risks of the future, even though he tries to deny it. Except that in return, he's all emo like season 2.

Judai's not in Haou mode and thus isn't smirking with a glare let alone being completely serious, Atem/Yugi's like somewhat "The ****? Oh hey. Don't lose hope. Don't you have friends to protect?" And Yusei's all "It's all because me and my Stardust. End it for me. Oh, we're gonna lose? Maybe we're wrong..." for the entire movie.

After watching the thing it becomes really really really easy to understand why the hell Zone is all "mystery mystery mystery, despair despair ahahahahahahaha it's the only way umad bro? Oh, I MIGHT be trolling" when Yusei's all "You're lying! There has to be a way! Shut up! Friendshiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip!!!!!!!!"

This is what happens when you carry both the Judai Virus and the Tea Virus after receiving pep talk from Atem.

[Kyte]

Well, the duel in POL was more tolerable because between the duel, you would see 'plot' going on with the others and such, despite background for Anubis could've totally been added like in the novel version. But alas~

Five days left, and I'm still quite pumped! Despite what that reviewer said, I still am psyched for this movie and I know I'll love it (don' forget, I actually enjoyed DBE)

[kahunyu]

The movie itself is great.

It just gets annoying when you tie it in with the current plot of 5d's. Since Optimist!Yusei seems to have chosen Judai and Atem his role models, and that's pretty much one of the bigger qualms we've had regarding Yusei as of late. Undying optimism to the point where he'll blindly ignore everything at times. It's not out of nowhere now we know who caused it, but still.

Watching the movie BEFORE season 4 is fine. After season 4 and it leaves a few things to be desired if only because of how ridic the stuff in the show is right now.

could someone answer me if .. 26 days in which to release the film, is already going to have to download on the internet ... or if it will take a lot for posting the movie to watch on the net.

You know, there are a lot of people on here who are as anxious to see the film as you are but due to not living in America they cannot see it for the time being. If and when there is a download on here to be had, someone will post links. In the meantime, please be patient like everyone else. Shouting for downloads don't make them come any quicker.

[yami14]

hehe sorry, is that me and some friends are crazy to see this movie, give a friend of mine feels that 26 days will already have to download the movie, give quiz asking.
