INteresting ! Thanks Lia !

INteresting ! Thanks Lia !

Here you can see the real size of these "pics" :p - http://movapic.com/khz/pic/1009682 Too bad they aren't completely 10th anniversary centered, but anyway - that wasn't much on the theme. :p
I read somewhere these days that the movie's DVD is expected to air in the summer. I don't know if that's true, but just to mention. :p

Heh, those tapestries are pretty huge.

Is that so? I skimmed through the 2chan thread, and I found no such evidence (although I have yet to catch up with the Newwise thread).

On a movie related note, the movie is the fourth on the TOHO website's ranking list. And a correction, I claimed there were no schedules given on TOHO's page for the movie, but it's actually at the bottom, presumably sorted by regions. The schedule calendar goes as far as 26th of March, although schedules are given up to the 5th of February. Whether this means they are actually going to show the movie in cinemas for that long, or they are just planning to is something I don't know about... But keeping the movie for two months in the cinemas sounds normal to me.

That's why I said I read it somewhere, cuz I don't remember where exactly I saw this info. Anyway, if it's not confirmed in one of the official websites for the movie, I don't accept it for a complete truth, so......we'll wait some info to appear on BBC NewWise, 2CHAN or YGO10TH.COM.

Thanks a lot Lia and Arynis !

LoL the scenes from the movie look way better when are seen in HQ. Thanks for sharing. :p

[Arynis]

Oh, that's really cool! Some people and their ability to record high quality videos... XD

It's great to watch them in high quality, though. It really makes a huge difference compared to Keyhole's quality, hahah.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 10th Anniversary Movie Scene - Paradox Takes Stardust Dragon Subbed - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iaf7...eature=related
Sorry, if this is repeating. Just have it in mind, neh. :p

[Arynis]

On part 1, at 4:43. I want that theme that plays, it sounds so awesome

Indeed it does. It also played during Ene! when the VAs were making their comments. It makes me wonder if that song is actually included in the movie. If it is, I could easily see it being played when the three protagonists deal the final blow to Paradox.

Speaking of which, what do you think of the movie's soundtrack being released? Would they go Pyramid of Light on us (for which they released the movie only BGM on Sound Duel 4) or make an individual OST for it? Granted, it used songs from the other series which were already released on their corresponding series' Sound Duels, but what would happen to those few unique songs? Would they really prepare an OST anyway and re-release the songs we already have?

I'd say these songs are movie only songs (lawl, excuse the awful titles XD):

Burning City
Paradox's Theme(?)
Stardust Dragon Stolen!
Paradox To The Past!
Our Bond Over Time and Space! (Possible victory song?)

[Rikku-chan]

Too bad that Judai and Kaiser Ryo are missing.

This anoys me alot. Kaiser isn't Judai's main rival, Manjyome is. Manjyome is basicly a younger better version of Kaiba.

I hope they make there own OST for the movie, since this movie was a massive hit.

I so want Paradoxs Theme and the Victory Theme.

Wait... Paradox's theme is something we can add to the great things about Paradox Shrine -puts the sound track next to a strand of paradox's hair- ^^

EDIT:
I uploaded the movie premiere video off the 10th Anniversary website onto youtube if people want to watch it instead of waiting for it to load.
(might just have been me but it was taking forever to completly load)

To be honest, I have no idea if that would be his actual theme, it just sounded like a song an antagonist would have, bringing the impending doom on the timeline.

Haha, Paradox Shrine. XD

On Pixiv, it seems like another person drew what appears to be Paradox's Dark Marik!face: (Source)

Maybe it's just me, but he looks much creepier than Dark Marik here.

XD Sorry, someone had to say it.

[Prismamaster]

This anoys me alot. Kaiser isn't Judai's main rival, Manjyome is. Manjyome is basicly a younger better version of Kaiba.

Why isnt there jaden and chazz?This sucks.

[tingfung]

Why isnt there jaden and chazz?This sucks.

And in the movie Paradox uses a Sin Cyber End he doesn't even use a dragon that Manjyome used. So no mention no tribute to Manjyome what so ever. What a shame.

[Lia]

This anoys me alot. Kaiser isn't Judai's main rival, Manjyome is. Manjyome is basicly a younger better version of Kaiba.

But he generally doesn't register among Kaiba and Jack at all. And it's not a coincidence that Paradox robs Cyber End Dragon instead of any Manjyome's monster. But anyway, this isn't on the subject at all.

[Rikku-chan]

Well maybe he went after Cyber-End because of it's history with the Cyber-style dojo. Anyways, Manjyome has the ego and skills while Kaiser was the aloof part that was Kaiba but maybe Manjyome wasn't considered was because he proboly defeated Paradox so he didn't get any of Manjyome's ace monsters because of that.

Ok, it's a matter of taste and interpretation........but that was off topic, so......

I doubt we'll get a movie specific OST, as the movie seems to also reuse many old themes, but I expect that the movie tracks will be tossed into 5D's sound duel 3 along with the other various season 2/3 tracks. At least I hope anyway.

Only because someone drew it from memory, lol. It looks more awkward than anything here, but I expect he is in motion and speaking while making the face, similar to Dark Malik. But if his expressions actually do surpass Dark Malik, I'll give him a round of applause.

Paradox seems more crazy than Marik. About the movie's OST, maybe it will be realease in Sound Duel 3.

Hmm, so they would go Pyramid of Light on us, after all? I suppose we'll see.

And I just realized that the 3D screen the movie was viewed on must have been pretty huge... now imagine that face on it. Way to provide (High Octane?) Nightmare Fuel for the entire theater. XD

[lilim]

Bah nobody will ever replace Mariks lolfaces
Also, if they add movie tracks, they will have to make it a double-disc feature again, or else they will push too much else away...again

[Ryusaki]

If they don't make it double-disc again, the fans might not be able to accept it. We've been spoiled, lol.

[Arynis]

It appears that the Judai vs Paradox fight does take place in Venice, Italy at St. Mark's Basilica. This is also the location where Yusei and Judai meet (as in that "ruined rooftop scene"). And Judai was actually running on the roof in the AxA videos, not a bridge.

Movie screenshots:

Spoiler: Various images of various sizes

Now compare with the photos of the Basilica:

Spoiler: HUGE images!

And I used to think it was Pegasus' mansion... Haha. XD

[YYugi]

O_O, thats a good catch Arynis!! Good Job!! this is Awesome, its identical.
Too bad I can't rep you anymore =(

[Allana]

I saw Venice, It's really a beautiful place !

Good eye Arynis ! Congratulations !

Wow identical for sure! Question is, what was Judai and Paradox doing there, I wonder?

Judai: Hmm I wonder if Italy is filled with Chronos-sensei? I must go see!

Paradox: I shall ravage Venice, Italy! Olive Garden pissed me off by not giving me sufficient amount of chocolate-mints..I SHALL HAVE MY REVENGE!

Hahahaha, that quote! XD

I recall the summaries saying how Judai heard someone was on a rampage in the city (stealing cards or wrecking the place) and he went to check it out. The question is, why was Paradox in Italy in the first place? It could be possible that a Pro League was hosted there, so he tracked Sho down and took Cyber End that way?

Judai looking for Paradox would explain why it is Judai explaining Yusei what's going on with Paradox. ("Yusei goes through a time slip and reaches Judai Yuki, one capable of using the power of Card Spirits. Yusei then learns the truth behind the incident. That truth being...")

Could be, though was looking at the wiki on that area and do see quite a bit on Roman things so perhaps Johan went there and its where Paradox snatches Rainbow Dragon I guess?

[Arynis]

Ooh, good point!

Perhaps Johan wanted to find more about the Gem Beasts and their origins, so he went to Italy with Pegasus tagging along with him? That would explain how Paradox gets Rainbow Dragon as well and gets the whole "Pegasus dies in an accident" business.

[Kyte]

Yeah, that really does make sense, does also mention on the wiki that the Romans brought several things to Venice. Who knows, maybe a tournament is held there where even Sho attends and if Pegasus is there I'm sure he thought may as well show Johan around. Or heck, maybe thats the same place where Johan got his Gem Beasts in the first place, just can't remember the interior of that time to compare with that place's interiors.

Does anyone know if those banners or cellphone strap are available anywhere online for sale? OMG, I want that Yugi and Kaiba banner!

Mainly at Amazon.co.jp. I've sent you a PM with the images and the info, in order not to make anymore off topics. ^_^ But read the second message. I messed up the first one. :p

[XERO_Slayer]

So it's not really confirmed whether the movie is going to be on DVD during the summer, right?

[Arynis]

So it's not really confirmed whether the movie is going to be on DVD during the summer, right?

That's right, no details are known at this point. Everything else at the moment is just expectations/speculations. There were no mentions of the DVD release on Newwise BBS or 2chan so far.

Although usually DVD releases can take from 3 months (not sure about this one) to 6 months to 9 months (Like Lagann-hen).

[XERO_Slayer]

I hope this one doesn't take 9 months..............

[ESPerWingal]

I don't think i'd survive if its 9 months o.o

[chrisedomaster]

Oh me too! That's horrible if the Movie came in 9 months on DVD... ><
Hm but what else: Arynis you have really good eyes! (Ironic,look to you're Avatar)^^

Hm we must just wait. *Just 1 Week and some days for my Art Book ^_^*

[Arynis]

Hm but what else: Arynis you have really good eyes! (Ironic,look to you're Avatar)^^

*snerk* Nice one. ;p And thanks! To be fair, I wouldn't have investigated it if it weren't for people joking about "Judai being in Italy" in the chat I'm in.

I found a blog describing the contents of the 10th Anniversary Animation Book: http://akizora122.blog102.fc2.com/blog-entry-668.html

Spoiler: Contents of the blog - saving space

「遊戯王　10th Anniversary Animation Book」という名の「劇場版遊戯王ガイドブック」・・・という名のDM・GX・5D's・映画紹介本。発 売日は確か1/21だったはず。値段は952円+税の1000円。店によっては999円のところもあるのではない かと。

この本には劇場版遊戯王の特別割引券と、高橋和希先生のサイン色紙プレゼント応募券が付いてる。劇場版遊戯 王の特別割引券は上映期間中有効で、100円引き、1枚で2名まで有効、特別興行とオールナイト興行には使 用不可、他の割引券・割引制度との併用不可。

これ2名までじゃなくて2回まで有効にして欲しかったな。映画を観に行ったときにはこの券のことをすっかり 忘れてて使いそびれてしまった。今こうしてブログの記事を書きながら読んでたとき、たまたま気づいた・・・ 。使う機会はいくらでもあるし、慌てることはない。上映期間中にあと何度観に行くか分からない んだから。

高橋和希先生のサイン色紙プレゼントのイラストは、2種類あって、両方ともVジャンプの表紙に使われたもの 。合計10名ってことは、当たったとしてもどちらか1種類なんだろうな。これは競争率が高そうだ・・・・。 締め切りは4月20日当日消印有効。



この本の構成は、映画紹介、DM紹介、GX紹介、5D's紹介、劇場版スタッフインタビュー、3大主人公イ ンタビュー、高橋和希先生インタビュー。オールカラーでとっても豪華。

最初の映画紹介は、映画のパンフレットそのもの。道理で劇場でパンフレットが売ってないわけだ。映画を観に 行ったら必ずといっていいくらいパンフレットは買う人間だから、映画館の店で売ってないのを知ったときは軽 くショックだった。パンフレットだけでなくて、グッズも1つもないなんてな。

このガイドブックの映画関連のページは、ネタバレが嫌で映画を観るまで一切読まなかったんだけど、映画を観 た後読んでみたらやっぱりネタバレあり。デュエル内容以外の話はほぼ全て書かれているといってもいいくらい 。デュエル内容のことは書かれてないから、映画を観てない人にとってはひどいネタバレで、観た人にとっては ちょっと物足りないものになってる。



DM紹介、GX紹介、5D's紹介は、3つの話の各編についてのあらすじ、登場キャラクター紹介と声優さん の氏名が載ってる。遊戯王ファンにはとっても嬉しい部分がここ。

DMはアニメオリジナルストーリーもしっかり組み込まれているから、ダーツさんや「レ」達、没落貴族も漏れ なく登場。フラッシュバックデュエルというピックアップで、なぜ真崎杏子16歳を取り上げた・・・!この本 の編集者は情がない鬼らしく、オレイカルコスの力で顔芸をする王様や舞さんもあり。

GXでは、異次元世界編のページの最初の画像で覇王様の悪い顔が拝める。3作同時に読んでいくと、GXがい かにカオスなのかが分かっていろんな意味で面白い。そのカオスっぷりが好きだったんだけどさ。異次元世界編 とダークネス編の内容にはあまり突っ込まない方がよさそう。突っ込んでも突っ込みきれないだろうし。この本 を読んでもよく分からないまま。

5D'sはクラッシュタウンでの話が始まったところまで。この話が独立した話ではなく、WRGP編に組み込 まれてる衝撃の事実が判明。あと、ディヴァインはコカライアさんに食べられたのは、設定上では魂を吸収され たことになってるらしい。しぶといからまた出てくるかもな・・・。



そのあとは劇場版スタッフインタビュー、3大主人公インタビュー、高橋和希先生インタビュー。スタッフイン タビューを映画を観る前に読むのと読まないのとでは、パラドックスの見方が変わるのではないかと。映画の感 想記事を書いた後スタッフインタビューを読んだら、吉田さんのコメントがどれほど衝撃的だったことか。オレ ンジ色の文字で強調までしてるなんて、よほどそのことを知らせたいらしい。吉田さんのこの言葉のおかげで、 映画に意味深な部分があった意味は納得できた。でも映画としてはそれでいいのかな?



全体的には、10周年にしてようやく出てくれたファンブックといったところ。OCGの本は大量に出てて、原 作のガイドブックもあるけど、基本的に映像でしか楽しめないアニメの本は意外にも出てなかったんだよな。1 000円でこの内容は、編集者はかなり頑張ったはず。次は高橋先生の画集をよろしくお願いしたい。

It seems to contain a discount ticket for the movie. The contents of the book in a nutshell:

"The construction of this book is movie introduction, DM introduction, GX introduction, 5D's introduction, a theater staff interview, 3 main character interview and Takahashi Kazuki-sensei interview."

The poster didn't check the movie related section of the book because they didn't intend to spoil themselves. They finished the blog by saying they would like a collection of Takahashi's paintings next.

[phoenixmiko]

Heh, those tapestries are pretty huge.

Is that so? I skimmed through the 2chan thread, and I found no such evidence (although I have yet to catch up with the Newwise thread).

On a movie related note, the movie is the fourth on the TOHO website's ranking list. And a correction, I claimed there were no schedules given on TOHO's page for the movie, but it's actually at the bottom, presumably sorted by regions. The schedule calendar goes as far as 26th of March, although schedules are given up to the 5th of February. Whether this means they are actually going to show the movie in cinemas for that long, or they are just planning to is something I don't know about... But keeping the movie for two months in the cinemas sounds normal to me.

That sounds good! With the film being so popular as you have said, it wouldn't surprise me if they did keep showing it for two months. I hope sure they do; I am going to be in Japan from 18th - 25th March this year for a manga tour and it would mean I would be able to go and see it!

As for the Basilica being where Paradox fights Judai, well spotted! I hope they explain what these two are doing there in the first place. The theories being discussed here regarding this are very plausible and it would be cool if some of them turned out to be true.

I have had the Animation Art book in-hand for a couple of days now. The Art Book contains a two sided folded poster, brief movie contents (nearly all the pics in it have been seen online already), recap images of each series...original, GX, and 5D's (5D's images and updates go as far as Crashtown), and interviews/images/info on voice actors from movie. The 'movie ticket' thingy is on a flap wrapped around the dust cover and would have to be cut out if used. There's also another cut out thingy on the back of that same flap that may be used for something...can't read what it's for, but images of autographed art are beside it so maybe something to do with those. The entire book is full color, lots of great images from ALL the series and movie, but I am a bit disappointed that there isn't any really new movie images beyond what we've seen posted in the various forum threads here. Still though, a great resource to recap each series and lots of good images of various characters both major and minor in each series.

Thank you for the summary on the Animation Book! The blog I linked a few posts ago mentioned that autographed art. It is referring to Takahashi's paintings which both were used as V-Jump covers.

Pity about the movie images. The interviews sound very nice, however. Especially if the movie interview in question is not the one posted on the official site. That would rock!

Draago, if it's not a problem for you, would you like to scan the 2 sided poster and the pics from the movie that we haven't seen yet (if there are any, of course). I'll be much appreciated if you do so. ^_^
