Yu-Gi-Oh! 10th Anniversary Movie ~Super Fusion! Bonds That Transcend Time~

[Arynis]

Heh, impressive. I loved the ED with Paradox fusing with Sin Truth. It's like his soul rose out of his body. Except...

Spoiler: saving space

...That nose. I swear, it outdoes Kaiba's noseshot too. EPIC NOSESHOT.

EDIT: There's also this picture:

Shenmimengzhu on Nintendo World BBS says that the colors of the Sin Paradigm Shift cards match the God cards. Pretty fitting for a card like Sin Truth, which is pretty much on the level of God...

Heh....too bad that the God monsters themselves don't take part in this movie. I really would've been very pleased to see them again....especially in 3D style...neh. xD

Thank you, Junk Warrior!

...Wow, did Paradox's D-Wheel just get destroyed as well? Damn. He seems to be reluctant for a moment there, holding his shoulder, his hand shaking, then proceeding with the summon. (It's when he pays his LP cost.) Then again, we can't hear his voice so if we don't know if he's feeling pain or is fine with what he is doing. He must have been desperate. (I can't recall Dark Marik looking "hurt" when fusing with Ra.)

[Lia]

Thanks very much, JunkWarrior. The alternates are even better when we can see the actual scenes in action. xD Judai is more than impressive here....I like the way he irritates Paradox. xD xD xD (what a hilarious scene..I just can't stop watching it over and over again xD xD xD) The fusion between Paradox and Sin Truth Dragon when it appears on the field is just epic....but probably little painful for Paradox though. =/ (I can't wait to see the last alternates. xD I can bet that the scenes will be more than epic.)

Holy shit. Is that you, Akagi? Jokes aside, I liked both the OP and ED movie scenes, and can't wait for the HQ versions to watch it again . But I kinda wonder why were the last 4 scenes (from ep 96 and 97) in wrong order. Because it was: BM&BMG combo attack against Sin Paradox--->Sin BEWD, REBD summon and Sin Truth effect ownage--->Neos Knight summon--->Paradox crazy face with Sin Truth summon. Doesn't make much sense, right? I mean, if they decided to show and spoil things like Sin Truth Dragon and the Marik-Ra like fusion, it's kinda weird how these 4 preview scenes weren't in order. (especially because IIRC, all the previous ones in 93-95 were chronologically correct)

Unfortunately, I think these were the last ones, since next week is the actual start of the long awaited WRGP. (and so there is a good chance for an update for the Freedom opening)

edit: Oh, thanks a lot JunkWarrior !

Thank you for posting these JunkWarrior! I'm so happy to see Judai enjoying his duel like that again. It seems that he has retrieved some sorts of his childish & happy-go-lucky attitudes during his journey, what make him so unique among the 3 main heroes (I didn't like him going emo in GX season 4 very much, which could have killed his own character). And the fusion scene of Paradox and Sin Truth looks awesome.

Truly Judai's part had to be shown before Dark Yugi's one. (Btw, Adam5, good eye for that) But I have no idea why the order is incorrect. May be they wanted to show the awesome Paradox's Fusoin with Sin Truth Dragon as an epic end of all alternative OPs and EDs, if truly these were the last alternates. May be that's why they changed the order of the movie scenes.

Unfortunately, I think these were the last ones, since next week is the actual start of the long awaited WRGP. (and so there is a good chance for an update for the Freedom opening)

Still very hope for you to be wrong....I would be very pleased to see at least one more couple of alternates. Anyway.....the right answer for that will come next wednesday.

[ESPerWingal]

I think there is going to be at least 1 more for the ending of the movie. Where they leave, personally I hope they don't show that because it ruins the ending and I rather keep the suspense of seeing it.

Likely after that will be the WRGP opening but there is a possiblility the WRGP opening (if there is one) will be next week since that when it officially starts with Jack Vs Andore

[Arynis]

Well... there's also this fanart... XD

Yeah, I don't think they were chronologically correct. Perhaps they looked for some other scene to throw in to avoid spoiling at least the ending?



Also, Paradox seems to have no eyes at all until the fusion is complete (it is done when the Tron Lines fully connect him and the dragon) and the screen zooms on his face again. I was wrong, his soul didn't really move out of his body (I couldn't see it well, and he was covered by the Paradigm Shift aura which made him look trasparent). I think his body is "sacrificed" when the lights appear out of his buckle and his D-Wheel gets destroyed, using his life source literally in order to summon Sin Truth Dragon.

[ESPerWingal]

I must admit Paradox looks badass with no eyes there.

More things to the "Paradox Shrine" XD
He can enter a dragons head, explode his d-wheel, turn cards different colours
He even looks good when he has no eyes
is there something he cant do? ^^

StillYuseiisbetter >.> -shot-

Also ironicly i'm listening to "Sonic the Hedgehog - His World"
I think the song would go well with Paradox o.o

EDIT: Now that I think about it, naw XD

[Makoeyes987]

Paradox blowing up his D-Wheel, and fusing with Sin Truth Dragon wins as the most over the top, and badass summoning of an antagonist's boss monster, in all of YGO. Period.

The badassery of that moment is undeniable. Paradox was certainly playing for keeps. Damn.

But now I wonder...HOW THE HELL..was he EVER going to go back to his own time period?! He blew up his own D-Wheel!! And fused with the monster. Talk about desperation!

[Allana]

Good scenes in opening and ending ! Paradox fuses completly with Sin Truth Dragon. He loose his eyes. Sin Paradigm Shift is really the color of Egyptians Gods, good observation. Thanks JunkWarrior !

[Saikiou]

Broly? is that you? Paradox in dbz's style

[J_BYYX]

Broly? is that you? Paradox in dbz's style

Hahaha kinda looks like Broly

[Lia]

...That nose. I swear, it outdoes Kaiba's noseshot too. EPIC NOSESHOT.

That noseshot adds one more difference between Kagami's and Hara's animation styles. Kagami has the habit to show up the character's nostrils, especially during such duel phases. (remember episode 140 of DM when Dark Marik was hit by Obelisk) For now Hara is more reserved conserning showing this part of the face.

THIS.

Hmm, good point about the D-Wheel. But seeing how he sacrificed his own body to begin with, he couldn't have used it again anyway. What's scary is that the D-Wheel just dissembles, just like a Duel Monster when destroyed.

Is it just me, or Sin Truth Dragon looks like a "mess"? I mean, look at this picture:



Its wings are "upside down", the tail seems to be not part of the actual body and floating in the air. From the angle it does look like it's connected to that spike, but I don't think it does - looks too disjointed for that. Even the dragon's head could be flipped upside down and still look like a dragon. (Apart from Paradox hanging upside down in that case, lawl). Very interesting and unique. But that makes it look even more like the Time Devourer, so I don't mind.

Here's the dragon flipped upside down:



I believe this is a reference to paradigm shift again, more specifically the optical illusion Kuhn used to demonstrate the concept... except the dragon still looks like a dragon... the same dragon we were originally looking at. Which is, well, not quite the point of paradigm shift in the end, haha.

That true ! Good eye Arynis !

[GymLeaderLance99]

I agree with Makoeyes, those Paradox scenes were kickass, especially his Sin Truth Dragon summoning. Though, I gotta say, when I saw that, I was asking myself, "Did he just pull a Dartz here?". XD But it's still such a badass moment, and Kagami's animation definitely complimented it.

[Makoeyes987]

Dartz wishes his summons looked that awesome. Dartz got NOTHING on Paradox. XD

[Quitus]

Guys i�m new and i know you must be tired of hearing this, but anyone has any idea when a LQ Raw will come out?..

[Makoeyes987]

You know, I seriously hope they release Sin Paradox Dragon, Paradigm Shift, and Sin Truth Dragon as real cards. Those would be so fun to play with. XDDDDD

[Heleentje]

Guys i�m new and i know you must be tired of hearing this, but anyone has any idea when a LQ Raw will come out?..

Please read the first post in this thread, it's already said there.

In short: We don't know. The first raws aren't expected until 5 or 6 months from now, i.e. this summer. Camrips are nigh impossible to obtain, aside from the legality issue, there's also the matter that the movie is partially in 3D and as such would mightily screw up any recordings. So for now we'll have to do with screenshots.

[Arynis]

Yes, totally! Or at least make them all available in video games.

I recall 2CH people speculating or wishing that Paradox would appear in the future games. (I don't know much about Tag Force games, but allying with Paradox would rock! Too bad he would be treated as a villain either way. Unless, of course, 5D's changes anything about that...)

[E-Hero Winged Kuriboh]

Is Winged Kuriboh actually in this movie at all?

[Lia]

Is Winged Kuriboh actually in this movie at all?

No. Judai's playing "Flute of summoning Kuriboh" magic card, to have Yugi place his Kuriboh in his hand from his deck and this way to negate the battle damage.

what's wrong with villain, i played tag force beginning of destiny which is sais to be ps2 version of tag force 1, and you can team up with 7 star member (camula, amnael, etc), even kagemaru

I said I didn't know anything about Tag Force games, so I had no idea if teaming up with villains was possible (I only played the World Championship games, although you could team up with other characters from the anime in the duel mode if I remember right...)

Thanks for clearing it up, though. I guess that means teaming up with Paradox could be still a possible option.

Sure, just give me credit. ^^ You could also try this picture, the quality is much better but it's 1.7 MB. (The one in my signature is ~800 KB.)

Spoiler: Spoiler tagging to reduce load time for the page.

A game devoted to the Anniversary would be pretty awesome, but wouldn't they have announced it already if that were the case? Oh well, 2010 is still ahead...

Also, if you guys are interested, I finished a post in which I collected the movie's references to Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. Please keep in mind that the post contains major spoilers for the games, so don't come running at me in case it ruined the game for you. You have been warned! This is a not a serious post, I have only done this for fun and it's more like a theory than fact.

[HikariPachirisu]

Although the movie is said to be around 49 minutes long, I think they should have made it longer and probably featured Kaiba with his Blue-Eyes or Johan with his Rainbow Dragon and the rest of the others Paradox had. It just keeps you wondering how he even got them, he couldn't possibly have won that many duels and won that many dragons. This is just what I think.

maybe he just stole it like what he did to yusei's stardust dragon
beside based on people who said that he/she have already watched the movie, paradox origin itself didn't explained quite well

Well, Paradox was easily capable of trashing even the protagonists on their own, who are supposed to be the strongest duelists in their respective series. Going by that, anyone else may have been easily a piece of cake for Paradox. (And showing Kaiba getting injured or even killed onscreen would have resulted in massive fangirl rage, lol.)

Or just as itox2003 said, he could have just stolen the cards. Or as I mentioned in the previous 10th anniversary thread, the cards could easily be a copy of the originals. Or considering he came from the distant future, said cards may have been resting in a museum from which he acquired the cards, or got his hands on the cards by some other means.

And yeah, Paradox's origin and true identity wasn't explained by the movie. We'll have to wait until 5D's gives us the answers. (Since the Animation Book said "upcoming", I hope it won't take longer than 1-2-3 months until the questions are answered.)

is that true that paradox will appear on 5d?
i think he is just a movi only character like anubis

[Lia]

Yes, it was confirmed in the 10th Anniversary Animation Book that Paradox will take role in the upcoming 5D'S episodes and soon his real identity will be revealed. That's why the movie don't answer the question "Who's Paradox?"

so that means the movie will have a connection to the series?
actually what happened to paradox after his defeat?
i think his d-wheel is destroyed during duel

[Lia]

Yes, the movie will have connection with the 5D'S series. Paradox is that connection.
Considering that he merged with Sin Truth Dragon when it was destroyed, Paradox just vanished.
Paradox's D-Wheel just vanished when Sin Truth Dragon was summoned to the field and Paradox merged with it.

[NeoTK]

best thing I've read all day. Perhaps if they'll incorporate Paradox into the anime, they may well do some more funky time travel stuff and have Yugi or Juudai come into the 5Ds era time. =D One can only hope =D

[J_BYYX]

l predict that we will see Paradox in 5d's after WRGP... or until movie's DVD release...

[Lia]

Really hope so !!! (I'm interested in seeing them drawn in Hara's style.)

[Arynis]

so that means the movie will have a connection to the series?

It seems like that the movie will have a connection to the 5D's plot, yes.

Actually, that's not how it works.

This is theory, of course, but I'm going to assume the movie's events already happened. So to the 5D's cast, the movie's events are in the "past". However, whatever events are connected to Paradox are yet to happen, since Paradox claimed he's from the distant future. But Yusei and co. already know of Paradox, while Paradox is yet to have his future destroyed, prompting him to travel back in time. So whatever is going to happen in 5D's will show us exactly what happened to Paradox's future, or how Paradox got to the distant future in the first place under what circumstances perhaps.

Maybe this graph can help if it sounds too confusing?

[`Koga`]

An anime movie is actually going to be cannon!? *Gasps and faints*

[J_BYYX]

Paradox, parallel universes and omg now l have brain damage ^^ theory:
As l mentioned before it's still possible that every time Paradox travels in time he creates parallel universe, because there is no way to change future from where you came from, because you won't be in a situation to want to be it changed. So that means:
A) Paradox is from the PAST that is before DM, but he was somehow transported to the future to see that ruined future. And then he decides to destroy duel monsters by time traveling to the past that is in the future of his original time line. But there is another question, why somebody (-thing ?) took him to the future? Probably he is somehow special that he was chosen. Then what is that "special" thing about him? (Help me Arynis ^^)
B) He can fuse parallel universes. But l think it would be really messed up

l prefer A). But if he is from the past then how he will be able to appear in the 5D's? So l think he appear in 5D's like any other random character (for example Bruno). But then he lives with 5d's gang until the end of the world that makes him to time travel again to the past and destroy duel monsters. But that will cause paradox (l think).

Also l want to mention that there is a possibility that Paradox is already in 5d's. For example how writers showed signs that new character Crow will be signer. So we probably missed these signs about Paradox... And if Paradox aren't alone in future. For example Dark Glass looks like he came from same future... Let's say ruined future doesn't mean that there are no living people (Chrono trigger's ruined future).

Lol l came up with more questions than answers

[Arynis]

As l mentioned before it's still possible that every time Paradox travels in time he creates parallel universe, because there is no way to change future from where you came from, because you won't be in a situation to want to be it changed. So that means:

Indeed, because you are not in the universe you came from. It should be noted that it depends on how the writers execute time travel.

A) Paradox is from the PAST that is before DM, but he was somehow transported to the future to see that ruined future. And then he decides to destroy duel monsters by time traveling to the past that is in the future of his original time line. But there is another question, why somebody (-thing ?) took him to the future? Probably he is somehow special that he was chosen. Then what is that "special" thing about him? (Help me Arynis ^^)

The problem is with Paradox's D-Wheel - He can't come from the past, because he wouldn't have the D-Wheel in his possession. If he was sent straight to the ruined future, he wouldn't have been able to build the D-Wheel even if he was a super mechanic, because he never got to see one.

Perhaps Paradox had an impressive willpower? From what we have seen of him in the movie, he doesn't look like the guy who'd just give up. He'd desperately fight until the end and sacrifice everything necessary. Considering his views of humans, he may have had a pure heart, not tainted by darkness? But looking at his Sin monsters, I wouldn't say his heart was pure anymore...

B) He can fuse parallel universes. But l think it would be really messed up

It would be. In Chrono Cross, at one point in the game, some of the Elemental Dragons were killed off in each dimension in order to prevent duplicates. We don't know if said fusion will result in a duplicate of everything, or if people will just merge with their parallel counterparts.

l prefer A). But if he is from the past then how he will be able to appear in the 5D's? So l think he appear in 5D's like any other random character (for example Bruno). But then he lives with 5d's gang until the end of the world that makes him to time travel again to the past and destroy duel monsters. But that will cause paradox (l think).

Yeah, that could happen.

That doesn't make sense. Yusei didn't act like he knew Paradox in the movie, if that's what you mean.

And if you are talking about Paradox appearing post-movie, Yusei and co. might be able to influence him, altering the way future events play out in the series.

(But if that happens, I can definitely see Jack trying to punch Paradox. XD And then Paradox dodging him or catching his punch because he's so badass.)

Also l want to mention that there is a possibility that Paradox is already in 5d's. For example how writers showed signs that new character Crow will be signer. So we probably missed these signs about Paradox... And if Paradox aren't alone in future. For example Dark Glass looks like he came from same future... Let's say ruined future doesn't mean that there are no living people (Chrono trigger's ruined future).

If those hints were already dropped, they are either extremely vague or dropped in a way we cannot figure out the connection to Paradox yet. 5D's' plot right now is either a Jigsaw Puzzle Plot or a Kudzu Plot. Or both. And that really doesn't help if we're looking for hints here...

We don't know if Dark Glass came from the same future. You'd think he would warn someone about Duel Monsters destroying the future, but he didn't. The only thing he cared about is teaching Yusei how to use Accel Synchros.

You can say it loud, especially the last part.

[Arynis]

http://yugioh5ds-world.net/article/141540716.html

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World collected all of their articles regarding the movie into one place. The articles cover the movie's development from the OVA's announcement to their "impressions of the movie" post.

[Allana]

Indeed, because you are not in the universe you came from. It should be noted that it depends on how the writers execute time travel.

That's true, D-Wheel don't exist in DM timeline. Or, If Paradox came from DM timeline, maybe his Psychics Powers lead him in the future ? Or his Sin monsters ?

Perhaps Paradox had an impressive willpower? From what we have seen of him in the movie, he doesn't look like the guy who'd just give up. He'd desperately fight until the end and sacrifice everything necessary. Considering his views of humans, he may have had a pure heart, not tainted by darkness? But looking at his Sin monsters, I wouldn't say his heart was pure anymore...

Yes, It's also this way I see Paradox. I think is a good person. I said once I imagine him like someone good and even innocent. I think it correspond at his way to be: he wants sacrifice himself for his own future but also for the future of others. He is an altruist person.

It would be. In Chrono Cross, at one point in the game, some of the Elemental Dragons were killed off in each dimension in order to prevent duplicates. We don't know if said fusion will result in a duplicate of everything, or if people will just merge with their parallel counterparts.

(But if that happens, I can definitely see Jack trying to punch Paradox. XD And then Paradox dodging him or catching his punch because he's so badass.)

Yes, I'm agree. I imagine even Paradox put Jack on the floor in 1 second If Jack try to punch him. Paradox is the best.

If those hints were already dropped, they are either extremely vague or dropped in a way we cannot figure out the connection to Paradox yet. 5D's' plot right now is either a Jigsaw Puzzle Plot or a Kudzu Plot. Or both. And that really doesn't help if we're looking for hints here...

Yes. Dark Glass seems came from the direct future but how many years came he from the future ? It's also we don't know.

I can't help but wonder which BGM accompanies the summoning of Sin Truth Dragon. Perhaps I should have set up a BGM betting pool rather than a character one XD.

The movie will be watchable at the PUREBI theater in Isesaki. It seems like the whole "movie run ending in cinemas" issue applies to certain cinemas only? Or 2CH misunderstood something... or I did from relying on the machine translation...

[Theory]

That's true, D-Wheel don't exist in DM timeline. Or, If Paradox came from DM timeline, maybe his Psychics Powers lead him in the future ? Or his Sin monsters ?

I doubt Psychics are capable of time travel. Divine would have surely known of it if that were the case. Illiaster, considering their bad relation with Arcadia Movement may have known about it in that case as well (and deal with Aki accordingly... but they didn't (yet?)).

I don't think Paradox would have the Sin Monsters until after the future got destroyed. While the Sin Monsters reflect Paradox himself, they also reflect humanity's sin, which may have been responsible for the world destruction, which is what Paradox might be carrying on his shoulders (Tamura described it as "Paradox carries grief/sadness on his shoulders", it seemed to vary by the news articles and/or the machine translation).

Yes, It's also this way I see Paradox. I think is a good person. I said once I imagine him like someone good and even innocent. I think it correspond at his way to be: he wants sacrifice himself for his own future but also for the future of others. He is an altruist person.

But then again, some of the past Yugioh villains also fit the list. Several of them were innocent or didn't harbor ill intentions until life slapped them in the face (Pegasus or Marik for instance).

Although in a sense, Paradox might be not much different from the protagonists, either. Both Dark Yugi and Judai had experienced the darker side (Dark Yugi's Penalty Games, Judai committing genocide to finish Super Fusion), Paradox intents to sacrifice history in order to save the future. Dark Yugi goes on how he doesn't want to see lives to be sacrificed for the future, but if the future is to be destroyed by Duel Monsters just as Paradox said, then mankind would certainly perish.

Yusei told Paradox people could change, but Paradox brushed him off that is answer is nonsense. Perhaps Paradox thinks the same way Darkness does ("The will of one people cannot change the world."), although that contradicts his own actions. Or he's simply skeptical about humanity and thinks Yusei is naive, or something.

Yes, I'm agree. I imagine even Paradox put Jack on the floor in 1 second If Jack try to punch him. Paradox is the best.

Hahah, that would sure be hilarious, I'm sure. XD

Exactly.

Do it, do it! Of course, it could be always an unique BGM. Maybe this music plays during that scene? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdNLZkiFObs#t=0m19s)

The line Paradox says here is how his greatest experiment has been accomplished and he wishes farewell to the historical duelists... which is the line he says after summoning Sin Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Sin Blue-Eyes White Dragon. (In other words, the trailer's scenes were deliberately arranged to make us think he said it during his visit in Venice. Never Trust A Trailer, I suppose...)
