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

[Kyte]

At the World Championship a 3D preview will be shown at the Long Beach con center. Well, now know where I'll be that weekend. I'll try to see if I can record the trailer for ya guys, my camera is pretty good, probably will be blurry due to the 3D effect.

[Arynis]

@ Kyte: Ooooh, that would be great, Kyte!

@ Slayer: We don't know that yet, we know too little about ZONE. You could check the Speculation thread in the 5D's forum, there have been ideas. Either way, it's been all discussed already.

In the meantime, here are the screenshots. They do not include scenes already seen in various promotional material, only scenes that are first seen in this trailer.

Total number of screenshots: 17

(Screenshots are not in order.)

Spoiler: Screenshots here - click to expand.

Thanks for the Giygas impression, Crimson Dragon.



Well, scratch that. The entire City is disappearing!



Judai's face is priceless.



Bonds Hands beyond time, indeed.



Going by the summaries, this should be Sin Paradox Dragon's attack. Interesting.



And Sin Paradox Dragon goes out with a BANG!



"SHOOTING! SPIRAL! SONIC!"



What an ironic way to die, eh, Paradox?



Judai with Polymerization...



...Fusing Neos and Junk Gardna.



Kagami's love for hands shine through!



Stardust Mirage activates.



Black Magician, Black Magician Girl...



...Junk Gardna, Neos.



Dark Yugi stands against whatever came against them.



"Draw!"



Yusei is determined to save the future.

[Kyte]

@Arynis: Yeah, hopefully I'll be allowed to ^_^;

I'll have to admit, seeing on the video, the scenes looked soo beautiful on a HD TV they were using. Though, Yusei isn't using a helmet? Well, would make sense as the first trailer we ever saw of the movie his helmet does fling off in some sort of light. Its rather interesting they half-kept the movie's title. Now I do hope that this will be dubbed well and I wonder Paradox's English voice will be like? I can see Sean Schemmel doing well for this but he's been used countless times already for the English anime lol

Wonder if the preview will show English voices at the Championship? I'll have to find out!

[Moglie_di_Chazz]

Thank you for the screenshots Arynis *___*
My Yugi,Judai and Yusei are handsome >/////////<

[Heather]

That shot of Judai on Yusei's D-Wheel is great! I can't wait to see this movie, my patience is running out!!

[Starry]

What's got me curious is how did 4kids get a 50 minute movie a US theatrical release. Don't theaters have a policy of 80~90 minute movies?

Perhaps they took the Pokemon: 4ever movie route and commissioned more footage?

[Allana]

@ Kyte: That would be great!

Sin Paradox Dragon's attack? Great!
The hand of Paradox when he drawing is really very weird. I know Kagami love hands but...
Judai is really scared when Yusei's expression is very confident. Don't worry Judai, be cool!

Perhaps they took the Pokemon: 4ever movie route and commissioned more footage?

This is possible? The movies in America must really do 80 or 90 minutes minimum?

[Ryusaki]

IT'S GONNA BE A LONG WAIT FOR A DVD GUYS.

The movie's coming out in theatres. In 3-D. Spring of 2011.

Here you go.

Now we know.

What's got me curious is how did 4kids get a 50 minute movie a US theatrical release. Don't theaters have a policy of 80~90 minute movies?

I'm so full of emotions right now. Let me try and sort them into two simplistic groups.

That's Good:
-- The movie may possibly gain extra footage.
-- The new footage in that trailer looked mind-blowingly gorgeous.
-- Paradox's hands are amazing.

That's Bad:
-- SPRING 2011 WHAT THE ****?
-- The only reason I'll accept the Japanese DVD being delayed because of the dub movie is if the dub movie has new footage which is on the Japanese DVD.
-- I'd feel like a jerk seeing this in the cinema but I'll have to if I want to see the movie before the year 2021.
-- Even if I gather the courage to see this in the cinema it'll still only be the dub.
-- [message not found]
-- FFFFF

[63cohen]

I don't know if anyone has brought this up, but it is a strong possibility 4kids will release this subbed. So is there any reason for our subbers (Horoko) to go for it? I mean, it is still a mist as to when, but it was strongly implied they would be having something released online in Mark Kirk's interview/podcast at ANNCast.

EDIT: In addition with this new information that took place late last night. I guess Mark Kirk didn't hear about this. Seriously though, could we have a preview where we can hear them (sounds like Mike Pollack or some other 4kids announcer though).

[DarkDust_Dragon]

@Arynis: Yeah, hopefully I'll be allowed to ^_^;

Scottie Ray did a pretty good job with the voice of Anubis for the first movie (hell, he does a great job with every voice). I could see him getting the role. Just don't make it Ted Lewis. Darren Dunstan (sp?) would be ironic. Guess why.

Perhaps they took the Pokemon: 4ever movie route and commissioned more footage?

I think they'd have to in order to explain why Judai looks like that.

EDIT: Just realized something funky about the "Draw" screenshot. Yusei has 2 monsters in play - what appear to be Stardust Dragon (from the black border), and a Synchro Monster (that can only mean Junk Gardna). He didn't have both until he played Mirage, after he drew. Huh?

[63cohen]

Scottie Ray did a pretty good job with the voice of Anubis for the first movie (hell, he does a great job with every voice). I could see him getting the role. Just don't make it Ted Lewis. Darren Dunstan (sp?) would be ironic. Guess why.

Why not Ted Lewis? He does a great Giovanni. But I think the possible Placido VA (the Yliaster man VA that is). I don't know his name, but he had a good voice. Scottie Ray would be another great choice, he does a great Nick Furry, better than the video games LOL.

I think they'd have to in order to explain why Judai looks like that.

Perhaps they added parts from season 4 to only explain how Yugi knows Jaden. Or perhaps they added the whole duel, but as a flashback type of thing.

I am still doubting this will be in major theaters, perhaps only big theaters like AMC at Disney (I would totally travel 2.5 hours for that) or any theater that has at least 18 theaters. Spring 2011 means I will be almost done with school. But that is almost a whole school year.

[Arynis]

Not to ruin anyone's fun, but aren't there other 3D films that are about as short as the YGO movie? For example, I checked IMAX's list in my country, and they have Sharks 3D, which is a 42 minute movie, on show. Unless the YGO movie is in a different category and this is irrelevant?

And regarding the long wait, think about those who don't live in the US or the UK. We'd have to wait even longer for the movie, or wait for the actual DVDs because the movie wouldn't even make it to our countries.

@ Ryusaki: The "That's Bad" section of your post made my day. Thanks. XD

@ DarkDust: Hey, I could totally do with Paradox being voiced by Darren, just to make it even more ironic.

[63cohen]

LOL, if Darren Dunstan plays Paradox, 4kids could pencil in a song.

Darren Dunstan can be very interesting! Not only extremely ironic.

Perhaps Yusei activate Stardust Mirage during the End Phase, before to draw

Except that I don't think this movie is coming out in IMAX. If it did... AWESOME.

Yeah, I see your point. In Canada, we get things a few days after the United States - it's gonna suck for you a lot. No wonder there's no big fan base in Hungary.

I suppose the irony would be good. Just don't let him do the Prince Ojin voice. EVER.

Why not Ted Lewis? He does a great Giovanni. But I think the possible Placido VA (the Yliaster man VA that is). I don't know his name, but he had a good voice. Scottie Ray would be another great choice, he does a great Nick Furry, better than the video games LOL.

That would be Johnathan Todd Ross Tom Wayland. He also voiced Jim and Axel in the GX dub, and Blister in the 5D's dub. Yep, he's good. And I say no to Ted Lewis because none of his voices are even close to Paradox - they're either not low enough (Jack) or too low (Evil Bakura).

Perhaps they added parts from season 4 to only explain how Yugi knows Jaden. Or perhaps they added the whole duel, but as a flashback type of thing.

Even just the last episode of Season 3 would explain it, as he comes back looking that way. Changing clothes can be written off; but dub footage of that duel is sweet.

I am still doubting this will be in major theaters, perhaps only big theaters like AMC at Disney (I would totally travel 2.5 hours for that) or any theater that has at least 18 theaters. Spring 2011 means I will be almost done with school. But that is almost a whole school year.

Yeah, I know. Sucks doesn't it?

[Arynis]

@ Cohen: Pegasus and Paradox singing Face Up Face Down in a duet? :V Or at least Hang A Lampshade on them having the same voices...

On a different note, the footage shows that Paradox has yellow-green eyes instead of just yellow. Kinda.

EDIT:

Yeah, I see your point. In Canada, we get things a few days after the United States - it's gonna suck for you a lot. No wonder there's no big fan base in Hungary.

Psssh.

We kind of got screwed over by Executive Meddling. For reasons unknown, RTL only bought Duelist Kingdom, but not Battle City and the rest. And after that the series was moved to less mainstream channels then completely discontinued... yeah.

It may have been rating issues. I think the lack of popularity could be blamed on the lack of anime at the time as well. Most people only knew of Pokemon (and Dragonball, which got banned for being too violent ) and when they saw YGO, their first impression may have been "Eh, Pokemon #2" and moved on.

If there's anyone who knows of the series, they know of it because they follow the original anime. (Eg. saw the Hungarian dub for the first time then followed the original anime or the German dub on RTL2, etc.)

[63cohen]

I guess 4kids isn't touching the cards AT ALL. Not even making them English like NAS did the reverse with POL (they did make the cards Japanese right?)

This is an accurate page on Jon Todd Ross (http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Jonathan-Todd-Ross/). He voices Marik and Yami Marik. Not who you mentioned as far as I can tell.

Tom Wayland voiced Jim, Mark Thompson Axel.

[Allana]

The cards was like the Japanse version except all texts was written in English.

[Siliva]

I guess 4kids isn't touching the cards AT ALL. Not even making them English like NAS did the reverse with POL (they did make the cards Japanese right?)

Yes, NAS made the cards Japanese. or possibly, the Japanese version was made first, (since it was made there you know?) and 4Kids just edited them into english.

Don't count off the editing on cards yet. I remember seeing an early 5D's trailer about 2-3 months prior to the dub's premier that had un-edited cards and LP Stat counters. Look where that went. ;P I'm just going to write it off until we get additional trailers or until the movie actually gets released.

[63cohen]

I doubt it was made in Japan. The animation style is more akin to American cartoons and not anime. And the lips synch to the English rather than Japanese dialogue.

I see no reason for them to edit the cards. From what Kirk said, it is only done for broadcasts. They changed cards during GX so it could air on broadcast if need be.

[DarkDust_Dragon]

Tom Wayland voiced Jim, Mark Thompson Axel.

Wow. I have no idea how I screwed that up. Tom Wayland is who I was taking about (he is the dub voice of Saiga/Blister), how I got to JT Ross I don't know. Originally, the Wiki had stated that Tom Wayland was going to dub Placido.

On a different note, the footage shows that Paradox has yellow-green eyes instead of just yellow. Kinda.

Oh my God. I had a memory of Paradox in my fanfiction where he started out as having green eyes. That's weird.

Ah, I see. That's kind of ridiculous, but I guess it kinda makes sense.

And on the topic of card editing, I could see them making the cards English (though there's no point for Paradox's card); but more likely, they'll end up like the series' cards.

There was a bad thunderstorm in my town and the internet connection was cut off for more than 24 hours. I knew I would probably miss something essential, but didn’t suppose I’ll miss something so important.O_o Special thanks to SliferSkyDragon for providing the record.. Now – for the trailer itself.

1 – the title – Bonds Beyond Time
2 – the premiere date
3 - the cards
4 – the additional scenes
5 – the special preview place

1 – 4KID’S tried to stick to the original title, so I approve this.
2 – At least we now know the real airing date which is spring 2011, not this summer as the rumors spoke at first.
3 – The cards seem untouched, which is good I guess.
4 - Glad to see some great new scenes from the movie. I didn’t expect that the monsters will emerge from some kind of ice blocks when they’re summoned.
5 – It’s pity that no one is going to the WC2010 to try at least to record it. Let's hope we’ll soon see the sound version of the trailer so we could catch the main Vas’ voices - unless the whole trailer is dubbed by one person only.

6 – I actually realized that many of the American fans obviously weren’t aware of the existence of the movie before they saw this trailer. There were bursts of enthusiasm. While listening the trailer that sounded like “OMG…It…It’s true! It’s real! I can’t believe I’ll see all 3 of them!” or something like this. Also the comments below the YT video also showed that many of them were in the dark till now.

[63cohen]

I think the person who went to Comic Con and recorded that said they would go to Long Beach and try and stay close to the speakers. And they said they asked the Konami rep and they said it was ok. Perhaps Konami could put it up on their site, or 4kids.

I am surprised 4kids name wasn't on it, but it must be a silent credit. Like how Viz distributes Pokemon DVDs, but their name is not found anywhere on the boxsets, and only on the actual discs.

[Arynis]

4) is because of Stardust Mirage's effect, or at least that part of the duel is because of Stardust Mirage's effect, it might be not exclusive to it. Regarding 5), Kyte said he could try recording the preview, providing he's allowed to do so.

As for 6), it might be surprising, but Janime and Pojo are but a small fragment of the fandom. So at the same time, it's surprising yet not so surprising a lot of people had no knowledge of the movie. It also depends on where you live and how popular Yu-Gi-Oh! is there, really.

@ Cohen: Yeah, I admit I expected to see their name come up, but instead NAS' and TV Tokyo's logos were shown.

Also the comments below the YT video also showed that many of them were in the dark till now.

1 - It's about the closest they've ever been to keeping a Japanese title, I think.
2 - Knowing is good, but sadly it means a longer wait than ever.
3 - We're still to see on that.
4 - I think they're supposed to be crystals. Yusei's most recent plays have had crystalline elements (ie. Crystal of Harmony, "The clustering crystal dreams...").
5 - I believe Kyte said he was going to try and record it, for which we are all grateful.

6 - I know, it's weird. In Canada, we all found out pretty much right away. Guess when we tried to tell the Americans, they thought we were having them on or something.

EDIT: Something about Paradox stealing the cards. The only card we see with a black border is Stardust Dragon, which stays that way even on Yusei's field. Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes and Cyber End Dragon are all shown to be normal. (We don't really see Rainbow Dragon in the footage we have, but Judai says he stole it from Johan. Then again, he could have been guessing.). I'm starting to think that not all of the cards were stolen, as was suggested earlier.

I am actually very surprised people don't know the movie aired this January in Japan. To be honest, a year and a half might be a bit much for adaption to carry over, but at least it is coming unlike those who wished it would not (yes, those haters). I think with the new attitude 4kids has (or at least what Mark is letting us on) it might actually turn out just like the original.

Silent credit it must be. Seeing 4kids on it might upset fans for now.

They need that to be the case - they're slipping with their fan base and such, so if it doesn't pan out they would lose heavily.

I think they just made a credit out of unedited footage that isnt dubbed yet.

[Arynis]

Perhaps Paradox discovered the other Dragon cards in his own period. Perhaps Stardust Dragon had to be stolen specifically from Yusei because of its mystical properties (it was said the Signer Dragons took on the form of cards in this period), so it was a one of a kind. Of course, that makes Rainbow Dragon kind of Fridge Logic, because that's also supposed to be one of a kind. And for all we know, Kaiba's cards could have ended up in exhibition similar to Yugi's in GX.

@ Cohen: Well, true that. You have a point.

[Makoeyes987]

dust Mirage during the End Phase, before to draw

If Yusei did that, then they'd have instantly went back to the graveyard, since Stardust Mirage lasts until the end of the turn of activation.

I'm not sure if that's a continuity error in animation or some sort of new footage. But I'm definitely seeing something odd about that, as well.

Something about Paradox stealing the cards. The only card we see with a black border is Stardust Dragon, which stays that way even on Yusei's field. Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes and Cyber End Dragon are all shown to be normal. (We don't really see Rainbow Dragon in the footage we have, but Judai says he stole it from Johan. Then again, he could have been guessing.). I'm starting to think that not all of the cards were stolen, as was suggested earlier.

Rainbow Dragon is a one of a kind card. No one in the world but Johan Andersen has Rainbow Dragon. So the fact Paradox is using it means he went back and stole it. Blue Eyes White Dragon is a "three of a kind" card...and only Seto Kaiba owns them. Again, he has to have stolen it from Kaiba. And finally the staff diary states that the Red-Eyes in Paradox's possession is Jounouchi's. They're all stolen. The latest issue of Shonen Jump even states that a "mysterious entity from the future" stole Stardust Dragon and Kaiba's spiritual partner card, Blue Eyes, while promoting the Malefic archetype.

Anyways, my thoughts are pretty obvious. Horray for a release date. Horray for a theatre release...kinda. Sucks to wait for so long and have it be the dub. But if its released on DVD and contains Japanese subs and original audio then 4kids will have my money and respect. Anything else well, they won't and I'll have to go somewhere else. But at the very least I'll be seeing it in theatres.

I sure hope they actually give the promo Sin-Red Eyes Black Dragon away at theatres too.

[Arynis]

The latest issue of Shonen Jump even states that a "mysterious entity from the future" stole Stardust Dragon and Kaiba's spiritual partner card, Blue Eyes, while promoting the Malefic archetype.

...Oh. Well, cheers for Word of God, then. I guess that settles it. But that still asks why Stardust Dragon looks different from the other cards.

If they add new footage, I wonder if we will be shown those stealing scenes as well? Only to y'know, make all the Kaiba fans happy... or even angrier because Paradox utterly kicked his ass.

[63cohen]

They need that to be the case - they're slipping with their fan base and such, so if it doesn't pan out they would lose heavily.

I think they just made a credit out of unedited footage that isnt dubbed yet.

4kids has credited themselves with unedited footage before. If they were going to edit the cards, they would have been edited in the trailer.

[Kyte]

5 – It’s pity that no one is going to the WC2010 to try at least to record it. Let's hope we’ll soon see the sound version of the trailer so we could catch the main Vas’ voices - unless the whole trailer is dubbed by one person only..

I am~ =D

So guess there's mixed feelings about the movie being released. I mean, I think it seems to be a trailer ONLY for Comic Con, they figured just use the Japanese footage which is why no card edits. Most likely the trailer at the WC2010 will be THE trailer. It'll be shown in 3D so I can see them running that trailer during the previews before a movie in 3D.

[Makoeyes987]

...Oh. Well, cheers for Word of God, then. I guess that settles it. But that still asks why Stardust Dragon looks different from the other cards.

Because it was stolen from Paradox mid-duel thanks to Yugi, and would still presumably be sorta corrupted?

If they add new footage, I wonder if we will be shown those stealing scenes as well? Only to y'know, make all the Kaiba fans happy... or even angrier because Paradox utterly kicked his ass.

......

If current precedent is to be believed, Paradox stealing Blue-Eyes White Dragon more than likely happened outside of any sort of ante duel. He probably just rode up on his bike, stole it, and drove off into a worm hole. I see no moment or opportunity of ass kicking here. =P

[63cohen]

But why would they edit the cards Kyte? From what Kirk said, it only has to do with advertising time. In a movie, it doesn't matter.

[Kyte]

Well I mean just for the Con, anyway. Now it WOULDmake sense if they did edit since they had the new products there. I'm sure they'll be edited in the preview at the WC2010 and in the movie release here.

[Allana]

If Yusei did that, then they'd have instantly went back to the graveyard, since Stardust Mirage lasts until the end of the turn of activation.

I'm not sure if that's a continuity error in animation or some sort of new footage. But I'm definitely seeing something odd about that, as well.

Oh? In that case, my previous idea is just impossible.

A continuity error? It seems me too big. In a anime, It's possible, It happens rarely but it happens. But in a movie destined to the theaters, I don't think.

A new footage? It make sense. Why not? Perhaps also some added scenes showing Paradox's future?

Rainbow Dragon is a one of a kind card. No one in the world but Johan Andersen has Rainbow Dragon. So the fact Paradox is using it means he went back and stole it. Blue Eyes White Dragon is a "three of a kind" card...and only Seto Kaiba owns them. Again, he has to have stolen it from Kaiba.

But at the very least I'll be seeing it in theatres.

I sure hope they actually give the promo Sin-Red Eyes Black Dragon away at theatres too.

Paradox can have stole them in Judai's era first before to attack Judai. They would never accept to give these card to Paradox as a gift. Even not to his birthday?

Or Paradox can get them more far in the future in stealing them from their heirs for example.

I didn't know that about the Shonen Jump. Interesting. I'm sure a promotional card will be realease in same time the movie. SREBD or any other card would be great.

I hope sincerely the DVD will be realeased with original subs and dubbed version. It would be great. Even If the DVD is realeased with just dubbed version, I'll very happy anyways.

[63cohen]

Well I mean just for the Con, anyway. Now it WOULDmake sense if they did edit since they had the new products there. I'm sure they'll be edited in the preview at the WC2010 and in the movie release here.

Why would they be edited? You didn't answer that question.

[Arynis]

Because it was stolen from Paradox mid-duel thanks to Yugi, and would still presumably be sorta corrupted?

No, the card was black all along. It was black already when it was sealed. Moreover, going by the stealing theory, why Stardust had to be stolen in such a manner? At this rate, Paradox could have just nicked it from Yusei as well. Alternately, why didn't Paradox seal the other Dragon cards, then?

......

If current precedent is to be believed, Paradox stealing Blue-Eyes White Dragon more than likely happened outside of any sort of ante duel. He probably just rode up on his bike, stole it, and drove off into a worm hole. I see now moment or opportunity of ass kicking here. =P

Yeah, because Kaiba would totally leave his Dragon cards lying around or anywhere else, just so the unexpected guest can come and steal them. Do you honestly think Paradox could be capable of going stealth rogue on Kaiba, especially with that outfit of his? :V

• Paradox uses Stealth.
• Paradox uses Pickpocket on Kaiba.
• Pickpocket Success! Item stolen: [Blue-Eyes White Dragon].
• Paradox uses [D-Wheel].
• Paradox activates D-Wheel: Time Travel.
• Kaiba says: ...?
• /target Paradox
• Target not found.
• /who Paradox
• Target not found.
• Kaiba yells: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU---

Yeah, I haven't played WoW in years so it might not look entirely authentic. Also, I couldn't resist. Wanted to draw a comic of it but opted for the above instead.

[Makoeyes987]

Oh? In that case, my previous idea is just impossible.

A continuity error? It seems me too big. In a anime, It's possible, It happens rarely but it happens. But in a movie destined to the theaters, I don't think.

Eh, I dunno. I don't want to get my hopes up for additional scenes and footage just because of a card quickly appearing on a duel disk during a draw that, according to the summaries shouldn't be there. It'd suck to be disappointed. It's just as easily an animation flub.

A new footage? It make sense. Why not? Perhaps also some added scenes showing Paradox's future?

What more is there to see? We already see his future..it's..full of rubble.

Paradox can have stole them in Judai's era first before to attack Judai. They would never accept to give these card to Paradox as a gift. Even not to his birthday?

That's probably the most likely time he stole them. They look normal and not aged from time. Furthermore he's already admitted to prowling the past and trying to alter things.

Or Paradox can get them more far in the future in stealing them from their heirs for example.

Maybe but there's no real reason to assume that.

I didn't know that about the Shonen Jump. Interesting. I'm sure a promotional card will be realease in same time the movie. SREBD or any other card would be great.

I meant to comment how the SJ issue with Malefic Stardust Dragon hinted ever so slightly on the 10th Anniversary Movie. Something told me there was more to it than just a blurb on the cards...

Even If the DVD is realeased with just dubbed version, I'll very happy anyways.

I sure as hell won't. Screw that.

Don't worry, if 4kids releases it, I am sure they will go the daul format way. Or at least have subbed online for streaming on Toonzaki.

Because that's just how he did it. Obviously Paradox had no interest in the other Signer Dragons because he was taking the best of the best. Stardust is the de facto leader of the five dragons. When Yugi stole the card back from Paradox, it went back into Yusei's possession, despite it being corrupted by Paradox. How else would Yusei be able to special summon it from his graveyard after trying to destroy Sin Truth Dragon's effect?

He probably just stole it mid-duel from Kaiba, sometime in the past. Mid-turn Kaiba summons Blue-Eyes, and Blue Eyes is then stolen from him. Happened to Yusei, Jounouchi, and Johan after all.

ROFFL

I'd like a copy of the movie I can enjoy on my own without the need for an internet connection, and crappy quality. Streaming releases on the internet are cool, but they are no substitute for an actual release to be enjoyed in high quality, without the need for the net. I'm hoping 4kids has learned a lot from its years in the anime business and all, and will finally just do it that way. I'd certainly like to support the business if the business gives me the product I want.

Well, since that's how the movie plot goes, I ain't so surprised that Paradox took Kaiba's most precious card. But I wonder why he took only one BEWD, since he could take all 3? We'll probably never find out. xD

[63cohen]

Currently 4kids is focused on Digital Media. Does that mean in a year they still will not be doing DVDs? No, not at all. Most likely in a year they will be ready for DVDs again instead of Digital Media released. But for right now, if they release a subbed version before the movie hits theaters (very unlikely) it will be Digital and most likely for American audience only until they get streaming rights for other nations.

He wouldn't need three for his main deck. One is enough. But...

....Sin Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon? Holy God. Thankfully, even Paradox has limits on balls to the wall insanity and over the top face smashing. Sin Truth Dragon is enough.

Paradox: I remove from play Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, to special summon Sin Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
Judai: Attack power of 4500 in just one turn?!
Yugi: What..what is this?
Yusei: Oh SCREW THIS! I SCOOP! *throws his duel disk on the ground* This is ridonkulous!
Paradox: MUWAHAHAHAHHA!

Now that you mention it, I don't think they've released a single DVD for 5Ds, have they?

I get the positives of digital releases, but they will never be a substitute for actually owning a series. I sure hope they remember that. Not that I'm advocating such a DVD release model, but they can still just release the dub dvds and turn a profit on those. They can't just...not release them. XD

[63cohen]

The way I see it is the Digital Media is a test for DVDs. If Toonzaki is successful then DVDs might happen.

[Arynis]

Ffffff Mako. That is gorgeous.

Anyway, what I meant was - if Paradox stole the cards in the same manner he did with Stardust Dragon, then why weren't the rest of the cards corrupted? And if he just stole the cards hax rogue style, then why was there a need for doing the duel with Yusei?

I'd like to see what his reasons would have been for forcing the others into duel, though...

Paradox: Guess what, Kaiba? YOU SUCK! *trollface*
Kaiba: Duel me, you coward!

[later]

Paradox: ...But I have your Blue-Eyes now. I totally trolled you and you didn't know it, lololol.
Kaiba: [countless swearing ensues]

I swear, Paradox could very well as be Hiruma's disciple. :|a

With Sin BEUD Paradox just wouldn't need Sin Truth Dragon. xD

But he didn't duel Yusei. He interrupted his three-way riding duel with his friends. He just rode up, stole the Stardust Dragon, and drove away.

The rest of the cards didn't appear corrupted because they were never actually summoned and thus infused with the power of Sin. The original cards never once got summoned. They were just discarded as the costs for the actual Sin counterparts.

What's sad, is that it actually would be that easy to goad Kaiba into a duel. He responds to any challenge to his pride. Any challenge.

The main reason I know it wasn't stolen in a duel, is because if it was, Kaiba wouldn't have let him go. He'd have chased after him, jumping right through the wormhole with him if necessary. He'd hijack a car or bike, rev it to over 90 mph, maybe even hit a pedestrian, and just chase his ass down.

[Arynis]

Oh, right. I forgot about that. :x

Of course, it still makes me wonder how they got into Paradox's possession if that were the case...

Eh, good point. XD A chase scene like that would be amusing to watch, though. It reminds me when Captain Jack Harkness spotted the TARDIS and just caught on it in time, riding on its outside across the Time Vortex. (Which would normally kill people... but Jack is special.)

And speaking of Paradox and trolling, I'll just leave this here, again. /shamelessplug :U;



He trolled the cast of Sakiyomi JumBANG!, and by which extent, everyone watching that show. Granted, that was just meta.
