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

[Allana]

Androids are named because they are anthropomorphic. That means full-on human body. Just having a face doesn't cut it. Now, if he's completely inside that shell, I guess he could be; except that, unlike the Emperors, his eyes reflect light.

Z-ONE can have been created by Momentum itself, this light has apparently a will according the unknown man. It can be entierely a robot, his eye completly artificial just to give him sone ressemblance with humans. He can see humans because he say must chances must be equals so he know how is a human body and he had created Emperors for they resssembles to the humans, each Emperor representing a step of the life: childhood for Lucciano, Young adult for Placido and old age for Jose.

It can be entirely a robot, his eye completely artificial just to give him some resemblance with humans. He can see humans because he say must chances must be equals so he know how is a human body and he had created Emperors for they reassembles to the humans, each Emperor representing a step of the life: childhood for Lucciano, Young adult for Placido and old age for Jose.

Momentum is a living energy; that's why. It's very possible Zome was created from Momentum; but that doesn't change the fact that he looks more human than his minions. The Three Emperors and Bruno all have eyes that do not reflect light, to reflect that they are not human. Zone's eye does reflect light. (So do Paradox's, eliminating any possibility that he is like them.) He has human qualities because of that living energy; but the Emperors and Bruno, who are completely artificial, are not.

Of course, it's hard not to notice that Zone has the same piercing blue eyes as Yusei and his father...

I thinking about something. There Sherry's father in Z-ONE it isn't? If Z-ONE was the after life? A little like in Death Note: not Heaven, not Hell. No place to go, anywhere to go after the death, nothing.

If Z-ONE was created by Momentum, maybe this eye reflect humans souls? It can explainning why this eye is living.

I will be very disapointed If Paradox was a robot. I don't think the movie had been created to show us a robot?

[Arynis]

What future Paradox came from? Complicate. He is definitively the Time Lord, the one who travel time, how maniulates it and what are the differents possibilities. It's the most badass and stronger character in 5d's. Even protagonists together can't surpass him. Travel Time is really better than just changing time. At leat you see really History and events, know really the truth. Just for this, I would like know travel time and see famous events and character in History! It will be so fascinating! I could say I know really the historical truth thanks to this.

Yeah, Paradox's situation is up in the air for now.

Yusei described the place with the Momentum Reactor as an alternate dimension. We don't know if this is a vision of the future, an actual alternate reality where Momentum ruled over everything, or how Illiaster altering the past or history itself during 117 affects everything in the long run.

Illiaster's current act suggests that the world is in danger because of Momentum, and apparently that Momentum Reactor now is a threat. Paradox's future, on the other hand, perished because of Duel Monsters. This could suggest:

1) The Signers will overcome the Tenors and prevent their plan from happening. However, the world is destroyed by Duel Monsters instead. As River Song would put it, "Spoilers!"

2) The Momentum's power may have caused Duel Monsters to become overpowered, thus they were able to destroy the world.

3) Both of them seperately caused destruction.

4) Either Paradox's future or the Momentum Reactor are parallel universes. However, this seems to cause a problem from a time travel perspective - you'd have to stay in the same timeline during time travel, ie. not land in a parallel universe. If Paradox's future is a parallel universe, it may explain why the current Yusei has no memories of the movie's events - the anime Yusei we observe is from a different timeline. It should be noted that the mechanics of time travel in Yu-Gi-Oh! is still up in the air, methinks.

Whichever is the case, Paradox managed to survive one or two calamities that wiped out humanity. And he still remained alive. He's got to be the toughest character in the YGOverse going by this... or he's just a Time Lord who lived through the destruction by regenerating. XD

Androids are named because they are anthropomorphic. That means full-on human body. Just having a face doesn't cut it. Now, if he's completely inside that shell, I guess he could be; except that, unlike the Emperors, his eyes reflect light.

Good point. Either way, the anatomy of Zone is possibly High Octane Nightmare Fuel. Augh.

@ Allana: If Zone is the product of Momentum, then what is with the card imagery? (the cards flying around in 107, the stone tablets...) Considering Zone is a God and Duel Monsters is the origin of the world, Zone could be a representation of that. And interestingly enough, Yusei seems to depart into darkness rather than light in 107, before he ends up in Zone's place. At the beginning of creation, it was nothing but dark...

And it would at least give Darkness' words some credibility. Not that there wasn't credibility in the first place - Duel Monsters itself fits the concept of Prima Materia pretty well. I recall Poet pointing out the symbols on Shooting Star Dragon's tablet, they were references to the symbols used to represent every item called as the Prima Materia. (Eg. soil, urine, blood, etc.)

@ DarkDust Dragon: Dr. Fudo's eyes were slightly greenish, while Yusei's eye color fits Zone's spot on.

@ Allana: Zone looked like Sherry's father because her heart craved fort him, and Zone happened to take up that appearance, according to subs.

I doubt Paradox is a robot, he was able to fuse with Sin Truth Dragon, a not quite robotic being. Paradox seems to not contain robotic parts like the Tenors, either.

Very good point for Yliaster! I didn't know this possibility of Time Travel for Paradox. If I understood (I'm not sure, I'm confusing), If Yusei Movie come from a parrallel timeline that's means Paradox can came also from:

1) This same universe than Yusei Movie?

2) Another parallel universe created by the deafeat of Yliaster?

3) Another universe created by the victory of Yliaster?

I think I should watch TV Tropes on the question quicly. Very quickly.

I completly forget this point about tablets. Cards flying around, Yusei depart into darkness... in episode 107? I don't remember them not at all. I will watch it again completly. I think it will be a good beginning.

This entry of Poet seems very interesting. I will read it.

@ DarkDust Dragon

... and I must watch the subs. I didn't know there already done. Thanks a lot Arynis! I have a lot of readong for tomorrow!

It make a lot of sense for Sin Truth.

[DarkDust_Dragon]

I doubt Paradox is a robot, he was able to fuse with Sin Truth Dragon, a not quite robotic being. Paradox seems to not contain robotic parts like the Tenors, either.[/FONT]

That's easy to see. The Tenors wear cloaks that cover the gems on their faces, and eye/mouth patches to cover what must be mechanical parts (or those are the mechanical parts). Paradox does not wear covering clothing; he shows himself to be flesh. Furthermore, he feels pain (as shown with his body dissolving); the Tenors don't really (Lucciano's scream in 78 seems more a reaction to being shocked, which would be bad for one's circuits; and Placido's grunts in 110 are from being knocked around, also bad for one's circuits).

There's also the eyes, which I've already mentioned, and the fact that Paradox shows a greater range of emotion than the Tenors, who seem to represent a partcular personality type (a spoiled brat for Lucciano, a hubris-bearing young adult for Placido, and a grumpy old man for Jose). Finally, the fact that Paradox can feel sorrow proves he is human; the Tenors are as cold as psychopaths.

[Arynis]

@ Allana: Poet didn't write a post on that, he just noted it in a LJ comment during PTDC's episode thread fests.

@ DarkDust Dragon: Good point.

Also, the Japanese Wiki now has a list of the proper soundtrack. There are quite a few differences in this new list compared to the one from 2CH, so the first post of this thread shall be updated.

http://www37.atwiki.jp/ygo10thmovie/pages/36.html

Here's the translated version. (Approximate) It might be a little hard to read because it's not really in a table like on the Wiki. I tried to color code it, but I'm using the black forum skin, so it might be harder to read on the other one. I tried to pick colors readable on both skins, though.

Scene (From ~ Until) | Source (Soundtrack) | Song Title

Intro ~ Yusei's dream | 5D's (Unreleased) | (New movie song) [1]

Notes:

[1] This song already appeared in Episode 110 of 5D's, when Jose received his Machine Emperor's tablet. We know this is the same song because of AxA's second broadcast.
[2] The streets of Venice, more accurately, according to the movie summaries. I just kept the scene name as it was written on the Wiki.
[3] Again, keeping the original scene name. This bit refers to when Yusei is about to travel back in time with the Crimson Dragon's help (as in, the music already starts at that scene), not when Crimson Dragon appears to block Stardust Dragon's attack.
[4] These songs have no titles because they already appeared in their respective series, they were just never released / not released yet. "New movie song" refers to songs debuting in the movie, in case they already appeared in 5D's (like the song from episode 110).
[5] On the Wiki, this was listed as "Paradox's person", or Atsushi Tamura. I thought listing Jealkb would be better here.

[Ryusaki]

Looks pretty similar to the original lineup to me. Still the GX version of Passionate Duelists (eh), and I assume the unreleased GX track is still the one that accompanied the first summoning of The Light Ruler and of Bloo-D. Thanks for the neat summarisation, Arynis.

[Allana]

Thanks for the udpate Arynis! This list contains several new soundtrack 2chan didn't listed. I'm curious to heard them.

Except Passionate Duelist, there no soundtrack of DM. Too bad!

I use Enlighten, I has no problem to read.

I know for Poet but thanks!

My only issue with this list is the lack of DM tracks. And why are they playing the GX Passionate Duelists twice? They should have used the original for Yugi's turn... But oh well, it's still a nice lineup overall. Some great GX and 5D's tracks are appearing at least.

[Lia]

It's nice to see the real full movie sountrack list. x)

Me, I'd turn the one for Yugi's turn to the original, and the first to Courage to Confront; but that's just me.

[Arynis]

You're welcome everyone! And yes, the 2CH and the Wiki version of the soundtrack list are pretty close, so I left both of them in the first post of the thread.

Anyway, I'll make an attempt at translating the dialogues on the Wiki. I'll probably replace the current summary with the dialogue on the Japanese Wiki, or at least combine the two. Note that I may add information which is not on the Wiki page, but was mentioned in the summaries, or is known from promotional footage. Once again, this is approximate, I'm not a professional, I don't actually know Japanese, I use machine translators and Rikaichan, etc.

An asterisk (*) means I was uncertain on translating that line.

If anyone has suggestions/corrections for the translation, let me know!

Paradox: This era~~? It is over. *
Judai: Era?!
Paradox: In order to make you vanish...

[Kyte]

Does seemrather hard to connect Paradox with what's currently going on, actually. I know they said his appearance and more about him will take place but as Arynis said, its up in the air. I mean, maybe what the Tenor Trio did just recently on distorting some events could have caused a consequence in the future. Depending how far into the future I do wonder how Paradox knows about Yusei's father's involvement of the Momentum project. I think people who do know of it have had projects to do with Dr. Fudo or in Security. So perhaps the second Momentum disaster is what caused for Paradox's destroyed timeline and I'm sure when the trio unleashes that,they must have some sort of mention of Dr. Fudo since the Trio apparently doesn't worry about spilling info.

This is great! Thanks a lot Arynis! The Wiki has apparently several others dialogues?

The words "The rare Duelist" seem me sounds weird. These words can they mean "The uncommon Duelist" or something like "The extraordinary Duelist"?

[Arynis]

@ DarkDust Dragon: I was unsure on that sentence, because the machine translators were quite a miss on that one. (One of them just says "You disappear.") I checked it again, and "morau" (which I didn't know what to do with) also means "to get somebody to do something". So Paradox wants to "make Judai vanish" as you said. I'll add your line as a correction. Thank you!

@ Kyte: Well, we know Paradox knows Yusei's full name, and he mentions something about the union of Neo Domino City and Satellite when he's talking about his goal to the protagonists. It's a bit unclear from the current summary, so we'll see the exact quote when I get there. Also, Paradox stated his future was destroyed because of Duel Monsters, so Momentum is out of the question unless Momentum may have caused Duel Monsters to go crazy.

@ Allana: I checked it again, and it says "rare kind". (I didn't know what to do with "kind" last night.) The kana for "rare" is there, so extraordinary is out of the question, although I see why you would prefer that. However, Paradox's dialogue implies that Judai isn't the only person who can manipulate [Duel Monster] spirits' powers. After all, Paradox can use them to inflict real, actual damage, as his Curb Stomp Battle on Judai shows. So Paradox says "The rare kind of Duelist who can manipulate the spirit's power...", actually. I think, anyway.

I understand better the sense of the sentence. Thanks you very much Arynis!

That's true Judai isn't alone to see and heard Spirits. Yugi and Johan can do it. But only Luca and Judai can really interact with them, I mean they can go to the Spirit World with help of theirs monsters.

Aki, like Paradox materialize monsters and can see and heard Spirits. The others Signers, non Psychics Duelists, can't. Suposing Paradox is a Psychic Duelist, maybe he own the same ability. It isn't certain, this is just speculation.

Yeah, it was a double meaning based on context; it can mean "to allow" or "to force"; and saying "I'll allow you to disappear" wouldn't make sense, so...

It is possible that Momentum, being the living energy that reads hearts, can be used to manifest things. The only reason it hasn't yet it because nobody's tried; but since we know it can create real pain in a duel...

The kana for "rare" is there, so extraordinary is out of the question, although I see why you would prefer that. However, Paradox's dialogue implies that Judai isn't the only person who can manipulate [Duel Monster] spirits' powers. After all, Paradox can use them to inflict real, actual damage, as his Curb Stomp Battle on Judai shows. So Paradox says "The rare kind of Duelist who can manipulate the spirit's power...", actually. I think, anyway.

Keep in mind that the Japanese way of saying these things is contextual. When he says "the only person", he could mean "entity"; in which case Yubel would count. Also consider that the Signers can technically invoke spirits, Luca especially.

[Arynis]

@ Allana: Paradox could have his powers for an entirely different reason, too. And by the looks of it, 5D's dropped the Psychic Duelist concept with Aki losing her powers (she didn't get them back, did she?).

@ DarkDust Dragon: True that.

Anyway, here's the second part of the summary. This is just an approximate translation. Once again, asterisks (*) mark sentences I was uncertain with, corrections are welcome. A number sign (#) means I added that line (or just a detail) based on summaries/promotional footage to put a part of the dialogue into context.

I thought Jack said something along the lines of "However, you were a baby, what could you do?" Then, again I just used a translator so...

Jack: Impossible! Stardust Dragon...
Crow: ...is getting sealed up...
Yusei: ...into his cards?!
Paradox: Ku ku ku... [Laughs] Yusei Fudo, I will be taking your Stardust. Perish, along with this era!
Yusei: Wait! ...!

#(Paradox vanishes, the three protagonists stop on the Highway.)
#(Yusei looks at Stardust Dragon's empty card.)

That was pretty easy to translate, since a good chunk of this part already appeared in promotional footage before.

Oh, and the monsters' lines were just sounds they made, nothing special.

[Lia]

Paradox: Ku ku ku...

Paradox: Ku ku ku... Yusei Fudo, I will be taking your Stardust. Perish, along with this era!

Why have I left with the impression that Paradox's just laughing, not saying "Ku ku ku..." O_o Anyway.....I guess I got wrong again. xD
I'm impatient too see the translation of the parts where the protaginists meet and the duel itself. But everything will come with time.

He is laughing, but it's transcribed as "Ku ku ku". See this page. I added a note to make it clear, though.

It will probably take a little while to get there.

"The attack is materialized!" "But Yusei's field is perfect." Wow... okay then. Either the writers enjoy mushrooms, or the translator is worse than I thought. But still, interesting.

[Allana]

Thanks a lot Arynis! This is great!

The sentence "Yusei is on his own and two persons turn up" can it mean something like "Yusei is sit down/stand up then two persons appears" according the context?

*Crow: In fact, we protected the city with our own hands!

At the end of this sentence, I saw several times expression translated as: "We protected the city by our own hands!"

[Arynis]

"The attack is materialized!" "But Yusei's field is perfect." Wow... okay then. Either the writers enjoy mushrooms, or the translator is worse than I thought. But still, interesting.

I didn't know how to describe the materialization part. Rikaichan gave me something with "attack" and "materialization" (probably referring to how it is real, or something), so yeah. As for Yusei's field, the kanji was "flawlessness, perfection", although Google Trasnlate gave me "Yusei's field is safe".

@ Allana: Thanks, I'll add it.

Anyway, a question. Would you want me to continue with the translation? I have a person who knows Japanese very well, I discussed it with her that she'd get on it eventually. (She's the same person who agreed to translate the Takahashi interview from the Animation Book.) However, I don't know when she'd get to translating everything. It could take a few days to weeks, I don't know. I just wanted to go ahead in the meantime to see what I can do, or I can choose to stop wasting forum space. I'm trying to make it sound as good as I can, but yeah, no Japanese knowledge can only take me so far. And even if I might know English well, I have a difficult time putting my thoughts into text sometimes, which then results in wonky sentences. If anyone wants to take over, that is fine with me, too.

I can wait week or 2 for better translation if we know that your friend will surely translate this. But, yeah, you're right we're getting close to the 3000th post, which will mean new thread to be made. So, you decide Arynis.

[Arynis]

She said she will do it, but she gave me no exact date for the translations, but I can talk to her about it when I catch her online next time.

Well, we still have about 920 posts to go, although I see your point. It's more about "do you want me to keep trying with the translation and keep posting" or "give up and leave it to someone better".

Ask her but I vote you continue! You're doing too well and I don't think someone else (from us who don't know japanese....even english too) can do this better.

[Allana]

The time isn't a problem. If she has need of 1, 2 weeks or more, no matter! She must take it.

She translate dialogues for us, It's very nice. She isn't obliged to do it. The most important is she translates quietly. She can take all necessary time she want.

And I say to her: Congratulations! Your work is magnificent! Thanks to you Arynis to publish it and help her. The work accomplished is wonderful.

[cookie]

I can wait for more accurate translations but I think you should still continue. Why don't you post it in a blog, LJ, or something like that?

[Arynis]

Thanks guys. :] It's just the feeling that I'm trying my best, but I feel bad for not being able to present it in its best quality due to the lack of knowledge of the language. I'm considering actually taking up learning Japanese, though, because I have been genuinely interested in it for a long time now. But that's, well, another story.

@ Cookie: I haven't thought of that, actually. (Which is funny, because my blog is 99% YGO related.) I could do that, translate all the summary pages in my LJ and just post a link here when I'm done.

Besides, while we wait, the Japanese could be making corrections to their own Wiki pages, refine the dialogue, so perhaps by that time, we'd have something much more accurate.

It's very true. Spammers and people who misremember details aren't limited to English-Speaking nations. Take your time my friend; we're waiting for the movie anyway.

[Arynis]

Looking at the Wiki, waiting was a good decision indeed, there are much more dialogue on the pages than before, including the "Paradox and the three protagonists talk" part.

Paradox does introduce himself as Paradox. I bet it's just an alias like "The Doctor".

The translator doesn't help much, but there is an interesting line regarding Paradox's goals.

PR　私は最善の歴史を求め、あらゆる実験を行ってきた。
その中で、デュエルモンスターズには不思議な力があることに気がついた
そして私は、歴史に手を加えることを思いついたのだ……

He says something along the lines of wanting to bring the best history into realization. He kept conducting every experiment. Along the way, he noticed the mysterious powers of Duel Monsters and thought of a way of changing history...

he noticed the mysterious powers of Duel Monsters and thought of a way of changing history

Oh.

Interesting, so Paradox (at least according to the current page version) never mentioned that Duel Monsters destroyed the future. Rather, Duel Monsters was involved in his great experiment in changing history. Of course, that changes a lot of things and potentially Josses a great deal of our theories so far. Oops.

Thinking about it, was the whole "Paradox wants to destroy Duel Monsters" issue ever confirmed? I recall it coming up back when XYZ Dragon Cannon gained information on the Jump Festa screenings. There could be information in the Animation Book, though, considering I see something about Duel Monsters written in there... but that will have to be checked.

EDIT: Or actually, I'm just going to transcribe the entire movie section of the Animation Book. The truth must be known! (Well, whatever we can figure out, anyway.)

Thanks for your wonderful work Arynis!

The Duel Monsters has destroyed his world. I guess he has discovered DM Spirits exists because he say him to Judai. It's pretty paradoxal: he has seen Duel Monsters under the worst form and he discover than Duel Monsters can be also cute Spirits.

So Paradox would have disvovering the existence of the Duel Monsters Spirits?

This line is very interesting. Maybe It's the meanning about the line "rare kind of Duelist": he said to Judai he is a rare kind of Duelist. So that's means he has already meet Johan before maybe even others duelists with this ability. If Paradox has targeted, possibly killed Judai and Duelists who can can see, hear and talk to Duel Monsters to to become the unique talker and take control of DMS in manupilating them? Maybe he wants use them to kill people in others eras or change wars for example.

[Arynis]

No, Allana. The point is that Paradox doesn't claim Duel Monsters destroyed his world. He said he saw a possibility in using Duel Monsters' power to change history. There's a difference.

The thing is, the "Duel Monsters destroyed Paradox's world" bit came from the summary of the Jump Festa, and that is why I'm checking the Animation Book - for any official statements on the matter. Of course, we could have mistranslated his words instead, leading to confusion... Otherwise, a lot of our theories are going down. And I mean getting Jossed hard. (Warning: "Jossed" links to TV Tropes.) The noise of billions of Toclafane decimating 1/10th of our theories. Sorry

EDIT: I checked the old thread, and apparently the whole "Duel Monsters destroys the world" part was just a speculation. The Jump Festa taglines only talked about orders to eliminate Pegasus and how Stardust Dragon gets stolen and how it would destroy the world. Which means...

Yep, Toclafane. In other words, a good amount of our theories are Jossed, if not all of them. Dayum.

But as I said, I will post the Animation Book's Movie section transcript for any clues.

[Arynis]

Actually, the Chinese summaries described how the Earth goes from red (lifeless) to blue (full of life) while Duel Monsters cards can be seen floating towards the camera (you can see a part of this scene in the movie trailer). This didn't make sense with the whole "Paradox wishes to destroy Duel Monsters" assumption. But with Paradox wanting to use Duel Monsters to change history (thus change the future), this said scene is much easier to understand.

I'm proceeding with the Animation Book's transcription, as I noted in the Animation Book's thread.

But with Paradox wanting to use Duel Monsters to change history (thus change the future), this said scene is much easier to understand.

The new assumption, that Paradox wants to use the mysterious powers of Duel Monsters to change history, makes him even more charismatic and interesting character. We've seen enough villains that want to destroy the world via Duel Monsters, but Paradox wants to "rewrite" the history in order to make it better, which will bring much brighter future. Well, since people are being hurt there's no way for him to be considered as " the good guy", but at least his reasons conceives some mixed feelings in us about him. (a little bit like with Dartz.....but little bit)
What I mean is that, it's very nice when we see a plot where the main villain can't be considered as entirely bad or entirely good. You can equally sympathize with him but also judge him. It's nice when we see such complicated personality. Paradox's trying to do some noble act but is doing it in the wrong way. I love this sort of characters.

[Arynis]

Yeah, precisely, that's why I like Paradox so much. He's both a tragic character and a real monster at the same time - pretty much a Well Intentioned Extremist. It's like you don't know you are supposed to root for him or hate him for his acts. (Tamura's comment makes it even more ambiguous, with the whole "grief on Paradox's shoulders" thing.) But with his future at stake, do the protagonists do the right thing by defeating him, or are they just being selfish about their own time periods and just seal the world's eventual destruction forever? (Yusei was all "We'll change the future!", but could they truly make a difference?)

Though, Paradox's situation with the new information also becomes Fridge Horror, to an extent. He said that he discovered the power of Duel Monsters and then had an idea about changing history, right? But Paradox went on collecting the Dragon cards (presumably) because he didn't have his own. Okay, he did have Sin Parallel Gear, Sin Paradox Dragon and Sin Truth Dragon, which would make it a case of Fridge Logic. However, Paradox's line implies that he wasn't a player of Duel Monsters at all, or he was just a regular player who didn't know the card game's real identity. He notes Judai is a rare kind of a Duelist who can control Duel Monster Spirits, which carries an implication of an "outsider", somewhat. And despite all this, Yubel says he has tremendous power - even she is creeped out. Paradox can also inflict real damage with the monsters, as well as fuse with Sin Truth. So if he didn't know of the game at all or he didn't know of the game's special properties...

Just... what the heck is Paradox?! I don't want him to be a cyborg like the Tenors or another Bruno, though. If Paradox's identity is so special, I want it to be something unique, or at least something that applies only to him. Or just settle with Human Alien Time Lord.
