HE'S CLIMBING IN YOUR WINDOWS, SNATCHING YOUR DUELISTS UP
GX, Season Three, part two, a.k.a. HOLY CHRIST WHO WROTE THIS SEASON?
non-possessed!marcel actually has a hilariously dry sense of humor
i wish he got more lines
his backstory's actually kind of cute
i ship him with blair
wow that's the first in a while i've shipped anything het, isn't it?
space dolphin!
ATTICUS ATTICUS ATTICUS
WHERE WERE YOU FOR THE PAST TWENTY SEVEN EPISODES?????????
aaaaaaah jaden ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;
god dammit you know i can't stand it when you're sad
can i just give you a big hug
TINY JADEN WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE
well-meaning good friend: /laughs at the idea that jaden can talk to duel spirits
yubel: /eats his soul
(unsure)
man, yubel, killing your buddy's friends isn't very nice
.....space waves.
............i suppose it still isn't worse than dinosaur DNA.
THIS SHOW IS INIMICAL TO SCIENCE
space dolphin!
oh my god jaden is angstily punching pillows in his room
JADEN. ANGST.
IT'S LIKE
I
THINGS THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST
THEY EXIST NOW
❥ ℬattycake ღ
.....o.o
I want a clip
space dolphin!
jaden: I'M COMING JOHAAAAAAAN
NAKAMA MATATA
WHAT A WONDERFUL PHRASE
NAKAMA MATATA
AIN'T NO PASSING CRAAAZE
IT'S MEANS PURE FRIENDSHIP
FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS
man, they didn't spend long back in the real world
one episode and back into the fray
and by fray, i mean "traversing the myriads of alternate dimensions in search of jaden's boyfriend"
aaaaaand suddenly jaden and friends are helping in a rebellion against duel monster overlords who are abusing the populace
so what's the structural difference between humans and duel spirits anyway?
i mean, obviously the more monstrous ones are different, but some of the humanoid ones look just like people. what's the major difference?
AND HOW THE BALLS DO THEY HAVE DUEL DISKS?
IF YOU'RE A DUEL SPIRIT
AND YOU HAVE GIANT-ASS WOLVERINE KNOCK-OFF CLAWS
WHY WOULD YOU PLAY A CARD GAME?
WHERE DO THE CARDS COME FROM?
THE CARDS REPRESENT *YOUR FELLOW DUEL SPIRITS*
i. i just. i can't understand this. all of the other world-building is plausible but this just throws it entirely out of whack
oh, 4kids, why "sent to the stars?"
THEY MEAN YOU *DIE*
space dolphin!
jim gets feedback from the eye of sauron
probably because he's hiding a palantir underneath those bandages
man, this is at least the fourth duel in a row where the fates of other people's lives - as well as jaden's own - are at risk
you can see the intense stress of it all beginning to take its psychological toll
not to mention that since he has to win, he's directly responsible for the other losing his life
he's killed two people now by virtue of that, with no other choice
with no other option because no matter what, someone's going to die, and it can't be him or his friends
you can see it really starting to eat into him
his temper is getting shorter, where before he'd never even really had one
yeah, endanger the safety of the entire band of refugees, jaden. that's a great plan.
OUR PROTAGONIST, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
polaris ✧
...wait Jaden's the *protagonist*?
I was expecting it to be...someone more.....warm and fuzzy
space dolphin!
hahahahahahahahahahaha that's funny
BeyondمليكBee
pffft. jaden is a role model for us all
space dolphin!
THIS IS YU-GI-OH! GX, BITCHES
polaris ✧
I THOUGHT HE WAS LIKE
THE ANTI-HERO OR NOT SO EVIL BAD GUY OR SOMETHING
space dolphin!
wait.....wait, really?
polaris ✧
r-really
space dolphin!
like, for real real?
polaris ✧
for real omg /face in hands
space dolphin!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nope! jaden's the hero!
for a given value of hero, really :V
polaris ✧
sjdfkl oic xD
space dolphin!
aaaaaaaaah that was a dick move! D:
the guy killed the kid jaden was trying to save
like, the kid was literally *in his arms* and zure killed him
and jaden's just like DDDDDDD8
i have no idea what those thingies did but i bet it was bad
jaden searches in the mountains for johan and seems to be late coming back
everyon assumes he and johan are banging
sadly that's not the case
i wish it were the case
i wish it with all my heart
ATTICUS I LOVE YOU AND YOUR UKELELE
aaaand jaden's friends are starting to realize that he's a sociopath
as if it weren't already obvious...
although, to be fair, alexis, he's not asking for your help because he's afraid his Plot Armor won't keep you all from *dying*
HINT.
HINT.
HINT.
aww, chazz, jaden's trying to put on a brave face for you ;;
he even found a bunch of chocobos
why don't they notice the sudden appearance of the glowing evil-looking tattoos on their skin? WHY IS NO ONE SMART IN THIS SHOW.
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD NOOOOOOOOOO THEY KILLED HIM
polaris ✧
????
space dolphin!
THEY KILLED CHAZZ OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
polaris ✧
D8
space dolphin!
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
space dolphin!
and the guy intentionally infected all jaden's friends with negative emotions so they'll spew all his triggers back at him
and when he deals damage to his opponent, one of them DIES AAAAAAAAAAAAH
but he can't not duel because THEY'LL DIE ANYWAY AAAAAAAAAAAAAH
OH MY GOD THIS SEASON AAAAAAAAH
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE DYIIING
❥ ℬattycake ღ
aren't they like all back by season 4?
space dolphin!
well *yeah* but JADEN DOESN'T KNOW THAT
polaris ✧
D8
xD
❥ ℬattycake ღ
OH
YEAH
HEHE
space dolphin!
HE'S LITERALLY BEING FORCED TO KILL HIS OWN FRIENDS
NO FUCKING WONDER HE SNAPS AFTER THIS DUEL

/pets Jaden

NO

HOLY GOD WHO WROTE THIS SEASON

ajklsjfdkdsjklsa
space dolphin!
THIS IS NOT A CHILDREN'S SHOW HOLY SHIT WHAT THE CRAAAAAAP
/screaming oh my god this is worse than yubel
oh my god jaden will never recover from this
he is literally being forced to kill his own friends
and brron has cards that force his monsters to attack even when jaden stands down
oh my goooooooood
polaris ✧
DDDDD:
space dolphin!
aaaaah god this is so
i can't even
*i can't even*
DDDDDDDDDDDD:
ohmygodohmygod can it be
can it be can it be can it be
jaden's pissed
oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god /breathing into paper bag
they finally did it
with no friends left to give jaden a reason to keep the veneer of functionality over his sociopathic tendencies...
brron is now Officially Fucked
space dolphin!
aaaaaaaah even cyrus left him
cyrus abandoned him DDDDDD:
because of the stupid Hate Plague thing
❥ ℬattycake ღ
D8
hate plague?
space dolphin!
brron infected them with these rune things that amplified their negative emotions
❥ ℬattycake ღ
:/
space dolphin!
so they all start doubting jaden and hating him and being all IT'S YOUR FAULT YOUR FAUUUULT
❥ ℬattycake ღ
HOW CAN YOU EVEN HATE JADEN
space dolphin!
which of course is his major character crisis right at that moment
❥ ℬattycake ღ
><
space dolphin!
so he's all DDDDDDD8
and now ha-ou's out to buzz-saw people in the face
because nobody thought through their actions
❥ ℬattycake ღ
8D
space dolphin!
BUZZSAWING PEOPLE IN THE FACE AW YISS
:'(
oh my god you guys this show
:CCCCCCCC
polaris ✧
:'(
space dolphin!
jaden has nothing left
they took everything away from him
BeyondمليكBee
permanently?
space dolphin!
for the rest of this arc :V
BUT IT STILL HURTS
BeyondمليكBee
*snugs* <3
AWW FUCK YESS HA-OUUUUUUUUUUU
HA-OU I WAITED FOR YOU
I WAITED AND WAITED
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVEN EPISODES I WAITED FOR YOU
AND YOU'RE HEEEEEEEEERE
TO CUT BITCHES UP
AND TAKE NAMES
MOTHERFUCKING ZANE ALL UP IN THIS BITCH
zane you are such a magnificent dick
and yet somehow noble in your dickishness
"He captures them - every last man, woman, and child." awwwww yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahh ha-ou don't mess around
actually, how much time has passed since the brron duel, anyway? by episode time, it seems like only a few days
but there's no way
it has to be at least a couple weeks, if not close to a month
HE IS THE POWAAAAAAAH
now that stupid song is stuck in my head
Snap - I've Got The power
WHERE ARE THE AMV'S TO THIS
~HEEE COULD BREAK MY HEART, HE COULD BREAK MY HEART - HE'S GOT THE POWER!~
okay i'm done
space dolphin!
maaaaaaaan i am so curious as to ha-ou's actual motivations
i mean, the current "round up all the duelists and buzzsaw them to death" plan is to finish the super polymerization card, which he's going
to attempt to save johan with, or so it would seem
but he was the king of dark world during his actual lifetime ages ago, and it's pretty clear no one liked him then, either
or did they?
or is it?
so....would that make ha-ou a duel spirit, or a human? what would it even matter? WHY IS THE WORLD-BUILDING SO FUCKING CONTRADICTORY???
/PUNCHES THE WRITERS OF GX FOR NOT MAKING THIS MAKE MORE SENSE GDIT
Anzila86
Like most things in GX the answer is the writers aren't that great at their jobs
why am i not surprised that jaden made friends with a crocodile
jim: "I'm not surprised...because Jaden's everyone's friend."
*cough*SLUT*cough
space dolphin!
aw, guys, don't be scared
the tower's not such a bad place
that's probably where jaden's keeping his harem
ALL OF DARK WORLD IS HIS HAREM NOW
cause he's trying to fill the void in his heart where johan was ;;
ha-ou's got such classy decor
pits of lava, broken duel disks - which in this world is essentially the equivalent of severed arms...
--oh who the hell is this guy and why is he delaying THE REVEAL? jerk >C
OH HA-OU
BURNING VILLAGES
SNATCHING YOUR PEOPLE UP
BETTER HIDE YOUR KIDS, HIDE YOUR WIFE, AND HIDE YOUR HUSBAND
BECAUSE THEY'RE DUELING EVERYBODY OUT HERE
oooooooooh classy with the full-face mask. kind of getting anglo-saxon vibes off the design, sort of beowulf-era
although that's a little back from the general time-period design of the rest of dark world, which appears to be invoking medieval-era shit
i'd peg it arthurian-era
which is several years later
eh. maybe ha-ou is classy retro.
hahahahaha jim and axel's faces
when they find out their friend has been pillaging and shit
so much D8
man, elite mooks
ha-ou knows how to pick 'em
hahahaha ha-ou just does not give a shit.
he seriously does not give a shit.
you remember how jaden rarely gave a shit? ha-ou gives HALF as many shits as jaden ever gave
maybe a quarter
probably ZERO.
zero shits
mooks are all THOSE GUYS ESCAPED and he's like NO 1 CURR
look at all the shits ha-ou gives
HIS DUEL DISK IS A BUZZSAW AND THAT IS AWESOME
oh my god this season
aaaaaah jaden ;~~~~~~~~~;
he's lost in the darkneeesssssss
he thinks it's all hsi fauuuuuuult
;~~~~~~~~;
aaaaah god this is actively heartwrenching
my heart
it is being wrenched
so much
by this
:'(
:'( :'(
Anzila86
I'd say he at least learned about what happens when you charge in without listening to your friends
but that would be hilarious in season 4
space dolphin!
aaaaaah he's so sad
i can't bear seeing him so sad
it hurts my heeeaaart
ha-ou is actually fascinating
I HOPE TO GOD THAT THEY BOTHERED TO GIVE HIM A GOOD BACKSTORY
OR ELSE I'LL JUST MAKE ONE UP
see, because he doesn't seem to take any pleasure in declaring that friendship is balls and blah blah blah
he doesn't take any pleasure in anything
so what fucked him up so bad?
Anzila86
Random, whatever you make up will be much better than whatever they give us, so go for it
space dolphin!
something awful *must* have happened to him to make him give up on everyone apart from himself
and i *know* from spoilers that he pledged his eternal love to Yubel in their past life
so he's *CAPABLE* of emotions
i am just. i am honestly fascinated
because he's not like bakura or melvin where they're all LOLOLOL EVIL IS THE BEST LET'S THROW YUGI OVER THE EDGE OF THE BOAT ETC.
he's just like :|
:| :| :| :|
Anzila86
Well, Bakura actually had reasons for wanting to murdify the pharaoh
And Melvin was the personification of the abuse Marik suffered
space dolphin!
oh, i know they had actual motivations
Anzila86
but yeah, something had to happen to fuck King Dark World up
space dolphin!
but they also took pleasure in causing suffering, that's the thing
ha-ou doesn't care. he's not enjoying this. he's just doing shit because that's what he does, apparently.
so why does he do it?
I HAVE RESOLVED TO FIND OUT.
Anzila86
The honest answer? Bad writing. That's why i want you to come up with something better
space dolphin!
damn ittttttttt why do i have to like the show with bad writing
Anzila86
Because it's brainrottingly hilarious?
space dolphin!
IT IS, BUT SOMEHOW IT HAS WORKED ITS WAY INTO MY HEART
;;
jim: YOU CAN'T! ha-ou: SCREW THE FUCKING RULES, I HAVE A CAPE.
AWW YEAH BADASS BOASTING
ha-ou's got a fucking badass boast
i instantly add this to my headcanon, crossreferencing beowulf and everything i know about norse mythology in the process
I AM FEAR! I AM YOUR UNDOING! I AM THE TIMELESS CURSE! *THE END OF ALL THINGS!*
holy fuck that's awesome
HA-OU KILLED JIM WITH A MOTHERFUCKING METEOR
HE'S LIKE SEPHIROTH EXCEPT AWESOME
space dolphin!
aah not shirley!
KILLING THE CROCODILE WAS UNNECESSARY
Anzila86
Now I'm just picturing Lelouch sobbing brokenly as he clutches a crocodile to his chest
space dolphin!
.....omg /laughs through her broken sobs
i still can't believe i've watched 140 episodes in four weeks
and now i am raring to bulldoze through season three
oh, aster, you're so smooth
smooth with your lies and your sweet-talk
ahahah lock him in a room with zane
easy route to death
screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam zane is interrogating people squeeeeeee
ridin' tauntauns aww yeah
axel has not experienced this strange fear emotion before
he doesn't know how to handle it
he's like BUT I'M A BADASS D:
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO FEEL FEEEAR
space dolphin!
omg that random girl has a trident
BeyondمليكBee
*giggles*
space dolphin!
maybe she'll kill someone with it
BeyondمليكBee
are you hoping?
space dolphin!
THERE WERE HORSES AND A MAN ON FIRE
AND I KILLED A GUY WITH A TRIDENT
ah god i love season three
i just fucking love it
ah god i can't even stand it
everyone is badass
well, everyone left alive, anyway :V
RELEASE THE HELLHOUNDS
man, if she could call up water to kill fire, why didn't she just do that in the first place?
aaaaaah axel ;~~~~~~~~~~;
WHY IS EVERYONE SO AWESOME
/SCREAM ZANE
OH MY GOD HIM AND ASTER WALKING TOWARDS TEH FORTRESS
AND ZANE'S JUST LIKE
"LET'S....GET OUR GAME ON. C<"
aaaaah scream omg
...hey wait a minute what happened to that rune thing that was on cyrus?
he never was shown to break it or undo it
who's that creeping on cyrus? :/a
BeyondمليكBee
...jaden?
space dolphin!
no, jaden's ha-ou right now, and he's busy burninating the countryside
BURNINATING THE COUNTRYSIDE
BURNINATING ALL THE PEASAAAANTS
BURNINATING ALL THE PEOPLEEEEEE
lmao the guy said "RUN, COWARD!" haha he wishes he was sinistar, man
his mask even kind of looks like sinistar
that's funny, dude
so basically, jim's like young australian dumbledore with a crocodile
....that made more sense in my head
Белла
:|a
space dolphin!
this show is like a divine mystery, bella
Белла
it sounds pretty fabulous
space dolphin!
it is utterly unexplainable. possibly ineffable.
Белла
maybe I will check this stuff out
I like me some bewilderment
space dolphin!
it's so stupid it loops into brilliance, and around into "this is out of the grasp of understanding"
it may actually be its own eldritch abomination
Anzila86
This is a show where a school to learn to play card games is the least absurd part of the premise
space dolphin!
the *least* absurd
Anzila86
the card games on motorcycles show is more internally consistent
And that had someone eaten by a giant ancient evil gecko
space dolphin!
if only because to achieve less internal consistency than GX is a physical impossibility
hahaha oh my god aster is so short
man i love the lord of the rings-esque feel of some of these army shots
this is 2006 or 2007 so it's post-peter jackson
they're invoking a lot of isengard in some of the shots with ha-ou
HAHAHAHA ZANE, ASTER, AND AXEL ARE INFILTRATING THE DARK CITY USING THE POWER OF COSPLAY
AAAAAH SO MUCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IN THIS SEASOOOOOOON
FOR EVERYONE
aaaaah the internal consistency might be shit but hnnnngh god the character development
mmmmmmmmm ha-ou said "eviscerated"
i bet he knows all about eviscerating people
with his FUCKING BUZZ SAW
man, you would think they'd bother to at least try to explain ha-ou's vaguely defined darkness powers, but all they do is make smoke
he's essentially a walking fog machine
i bet he's a hit at raves
HA-OU IS A LIVING FOG MACHINE
NO SERIOUSLY
THAT'S LIKE HIS POWER
BeyondمليكBee
...like literally?
space dolphin!
FACTOR IN THE SHINY EYES AND HE'S A LIVING ONE-MAN RAVE
although the spikes would make raving with him unpleasant to say the least
BeyondمليكBee
XDDDD
space dolphin!
lmao i am so putting that in jaden's app if i ever app him somewhere
"Living one-man rave. Also comes free with his own harem."
aaaah omg ;;;;;;;;;
omgomgomgomgomgomgomg
axel's like JADEN! JOHAN WAS SEEN ALIVE!! HE NEEDS YOUUUUU!
and ha-ou's like NO YOU'LL RUIN EVERYTHING
I CAN'T FIGHT THE POWER OF GUY LOVE BETWEEN TWO GUYS
IT'S TOO POWERFULLLLLLLLLLLL
RAINBOWS ARE MY ONLY WEAKNEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
BeyondمليكBee
*ITS GUUUYY LOOVVEEE*
space dolphin!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah omg
omg this show
it's too emotional
i have too many emotions
AAH AXEL NOOOOOOOOO ;~~~~~~~~;
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NOOOOOOOO YOU'RE DEAD
WHY
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT
WHY WOULD YOU SACRIFICE YOURSELF YOU JERK
:'(
:'( :'( :'( :'(
/WEEPING FOR ALL TIME
AAAAAAAH AND THE ARMY RUNS
THEY THROW DOWN THEIR SWORDS
AAAAAAAH NO I CAN'T
SO MANY EMOTIONS
SO MANYYYYY
THE SUNNNNNNNNN ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;
in which random ruins her karma by plurking forever
all the emotions
every emotion
I CAN ENGLISH GOOD
omg can it be
can it be can it be
BONDAGE JOHAN
OMG
/screams and flails and screams and flails and does not stop doing either
space dolphin!
because THIS IS THE GREATEST SEASON
AND ALSO THE WORST
BUT THE BEST
aaaaaah jaden ;~~~~~; aaaaah i just want to pick you up and tell you that everyone will be alive at the end of the season :'(
--hey winged kuriboh WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU DURING THIS CLUSTERFUCK
WHY WEREN'T YOU LENDING YOUR SUPPORT TO THE CAUSE OF THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
YOU TINY LITTLE JERKWAD
/punches
Anzila86
He had a really hot date
space dolphin!
XD
Anzila86
Now i'm imagining wing kuriboh in a corvette wearing sunglasses
LMAO ZANE'S PISSED BECAUSE HA-OU TURNED HIM ON AND NOW HE'S GONE
oh zane
*oh zane*
you and your fetishes
and your leather and your shock collars and your bondage kinks
lmao zane is momma-birding at jaden in the best way he knows how
by being a magnificent douchebag
Anzila86
Hey, he did that to his little brother, and Cyrus turned out just fi-oh
oops
space dolphin!
OOPS.
space dolphin!
aaah god, zane's digging right at jaden's issues
and jaden is just flinching with every word
;~~~~~~;
aaaaah jaden and your PTSD flashbacks ;~~~~~~;
/scoops him up
/holds him ;;
man, what the fuck, you are not going to help his issues by berating him until he is suddenly better
WHY ARE THERE NO THERAPISTS
Anzila86
Because they're in a alternate dimension full of monsters where everyone fights with card games?
space dolphin!
but i mean this is *basic human decency*
Anzila86
it's also Zane
space dolphin!
........well, yeah.
Anzila86
The guy who put a shock collar on his little brother
space dolphin!
he solves all his problems by yelling at them, shocking them, dueling them, or perving on them.
sometimes all four.
:'(
jaden's sobbing his heart out in the arena where everyone died
just dropped to the ground in anguish
ah god i can't watch this
it hurts my heart too much ;~~~~~~~~;
I GET EMOTIONAL, YOU GUYS
I HAVE MANY EMOTIONS
/buries face in internet and weeps
BeyondمليكBee
awwwwwww. poor guy.
space dolphin!
OH MY GOD THE GUY CHALLENGES HIM AND JADEN ACCEPTS BECAUSE HE THINKS HE'LL LOSE ON PURPOSE
BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOSE *YOU DIE*
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD
NOOOOOOOOOO GOD I CAN'T HANDLE THIS YOU GUYS
I CAN'T I CAN'T
man, cyrus, if all he needs to do is find the courage to forgive himself, why don't YOU offer some encouraging words?
considering you haven't spoken to him since you ABANDONED HIM IN THE ARENA
AND BASICALLY WERE THE FINAL STRAW IN HIS PSYCHOTIC BREAKDOWN
wow cyrus you are a great friend, huh.
you are a pretty fantastic human being
douchebaggery must run in the truesdale line or something
Anzila86
Actually Cyrus left because he was affected by the orb of sorrow, and did just watch Jaden get all their friends killed
in the original version he was doing some thing where he was supposed to be chronicling the battle
it didn't make much sense
space dolphin!
i know, but they never established when he stopped being affected by the orb, which also bothers me
Anzila86
They might have in the sub...it's hard to keep track of this swiss cheese plot
space dolphin!
/brb gripping head
so....so the plot of Season Three is essentially The Dark Tower
all the twelve dimensions are collapsing towards a breaking point in the center
KIND OF AWESOME
tania tries to convince jaden that his portable fog machine can stop yubel
jaden reminds her that the writers aren't smart enough to remember to make that a plot point
CURSES FOILED AGAIN
heylittlemomo◦
DUD A CHUM
DAD A CHACK
space dolphin!
DUD A CHUM DAD A CHACK THE WRITERS OF THIS SHOW ARE HACKS
/high fives you omg
heylittlemomo◦
fsdhiud BRILLIANT
space dolphin!
<3
OH YUBEL YOU ARE NOT CONVINCING ANYONE
seriously, it's like watching marik pretend to be normal
BWAHAHAHA DESTROY YOU ALL --I MEAN, IGNORE MEEEEE
crowler can't even follow this, none of this dialogue makes any sense if you can't figure out that yubel is inside johan
hnnnnnnnnnnngh that outfit
/flails
jaden: SO CONFUSED....and yet, so turned on....BUT SO CONFUSED
Anzila86
I AM Y...YOHAN....YES...IT IS SCANDINAVIAN!
space dolphin!
HAHAHA EXACTLY
JOHAN WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY MUSCLES
YOU PLAY CARD GAMES
HOW
WHAT
WHEN
WHERE
WHY
i'd ask more questions but my mouth has filled with drool, rendering me effectively mute
Anzila86
You ever tried to open those little foil packs?
space dolphin!
--l-lmao
Anzila86
They are a pain to get open
..........i am crying actual tears. not internet tears, i mean there are actual tears on my face in real life.
:'(
oh my god zane
that wasn't fair
they can't....they can't just kill you
that. no. :'(
no.
:'(
BeyondمليكBee
*hugs random*
space dolphin!
this....this stupid show.....
this stupid heartbreaking show
❥ ℬattycake ღ
(cozy)
"johan's spirit is trapped in his deck." (unsure)
they used to believe that before modern science proved otherwise, man
/ties on headband with rising sun thing
it. is TIME.
to complete
season three
the season of crazy
of meteors and fires and dinosaur DNA
of rainbows and dragons and rainbow dragons
of stalkers with crushes and space tamburlaine
of duel disks that are machine guns, buzzsaws, and just plain grown out of arms
the season during which all other seasons will be hilarious
i
am ready
THEY JUST DO NOT STOP TOUCHING EACH OTHER
IF YUBEL HADN'T STUCK AROUND TO WATCH THIS SILLINESS, ZE COULD HAVE UNLEASHED THE SECRET PLAN LIKE FIVE TIMES OVER BY NOW
ohmygodohmygod
johan gives jaden his deck because he can't go with him
TAKE MY DECK
SO I'LL BE WITH YOU
oh my god
only jaden can have johan's deck
/rolling around laughing
lmao yubel, drive away all jaden's friends, that will make him happy
YOU JERK
no wonder he grew up into a total sociopath
i bet even when he got to duel academy, his deepest fear was always that his friends would just suddenly stop being his friends
hence his intense obsession with keeping them around
hell, he even insisted that chazz was his friend despite obvious repeated signs to the contrary
JADEN'S SLUTTERY WAS THE PRODUCT OF HIS CHILDHOOD LONELINESS ;;;;;
OH MY GOD YUBEL USED TO BEAM HER AGONY TO TINY JADEN IN THE FORM OF HORRIBLE NIGHTMARES
HOLY FUCK
HOLY FUUUUUUUCK NO WONDER HE'S SUCH A FUCKING PSYCHO
it's honestly kind of sad because it's clear she was just trying to reach him and not to actively hurt him (at that time)
but hooooooly shit
HOLY WHAT THE EVERLASTING FUCK THE WHAT I CAN'T EVEN JUST WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WHAT
oh my god this kid
his nightmares got so bad that his parents sent him to have experimental psychological treatments done *on his brain*
and that's how he forgot yubel
hooooooly whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
this kid
holy fucking shiiiiiiiit
SUDDENLY
ALL OF HIS BEHAVIOR
MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE
like holy fuck
i can't even
*i can't even*
what kind of parents are these
why didn't they just send him to NORMAL THERAPY
MAYBE NORMAL THERAPY DOESN'T EXIST IN THIS WORLD
I'D BELIEVE IT
BECAUSE HOLY CRAAAAAAAAP
i am just clutching my head silently screaming into the night
jaden she literally just told you what she's going to do with that
"What is Yubel planning?" SHE JUST TOLD YOU
SHE LITERALLY JUST TOLD YOU
jaden, jinzo did that back in season one, it's been well-established that duel monsters can summon their own cards
"LET US SUFFER TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY!" (unsure)
CHAZZ ;~~~~~~~~~~~~;
YOU'RE ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE
normally i'd say it's a total cop-out but eh
it's 4kids
and in any case, it's not like this makes the psychological effects of jaden thinking he'd killed them any less, by this point
Anzila86
Actually that copout wasn't 4Kids
space dolphin!
well. i suppose it couldn't have been, since they don't *make* the anime
in fact, 4kids never letting them say "die" actually made it make more sense
they were always like THEY WERE SENT AWAY/SENT TO THE STARS
so then everyone turning out to be in a different dimension makes internal sense
but everyone *dying* and then suddenly being okay makes less sense
JADEN FUSED NEOS AND RAINBOW DRAGON OH MY GOD
ALL THE RAINBOWS
SO MANY
SO BRIGHT SO VIVID
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
TOO MUCH
TOO MUUUUUCH
so many rainbows
so...many....
♫Katheryn
LOOK AT ALL THE RAINBOWS HE GIVES?
space dolphin!
LOOK
AT ALL
THE RAINBOWS
HE GIVES
FUSION OF FRIENDSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
"THE ONLY THING AT THE END OF THIS RAINBOW IS A WORLD OF HURT."
oh my god
oh my god i can't
i cannot
oh my god tiny ha-ou is FUCKING ADORABLE AAAAAAH
HOW DID HE GET SO MAGNIFICENTLY FUCKED UP
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW
aaah ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;
GOD DAMMIT YUBEL

so 4kids was so squicked by jaden/yubel being canon that they figured it was better to imply that jaden died rather than go and dub season 4
let me repeat that
4KIDS
*4KIDS*
FELT IT WAS BETTER
TO IMPLY THAT THE PROTAGONIST DIED
THAN TO GO ON AND DUB SEASON FOUR
♫Katheryn
...what o_O
space dolphin!
YEAH
YEAH
YEAH IT'S ACTUAL CANONICAL CANON
NOT HEADCANON
NOT IMPLIED CANON
IT'S *CANON*
♫Katheryn
the fuck, man
space dolphin!
it's actually really sad
♫Katheryn
that doesn't even make *sense*
space dolphin!
yubel was the guardian spirit of the supreme king, who was originally supposed to be a force for good except something happened and he got crazy or something (THEY HAVEN'T YET ADDRESSED THIS because the writers are terrible)
and they promised their eternal love to one another
then they died and were reincarnated eons later
as jaden and the duel spirit of a card, respectively
but then yubel was a little overzealous due to having a medieval idea of "protection" and so anyone who appeared to be a threat to jaden ended up getting put into comas
so eventually his parents made him send yubel into space and then hired scientists to wipe his memory because they were too cheap to pay for actual real child therapy
then yubel was exposed to the light of ruin from last season and went insane
♫Katheryn
... just. staring. o__O
space dolphin!
so then after all the shit that happened in season three, which was orchestrated by yubel to pay jaden back for all her pain AND awaken the supreme king's spirit so they could be together forever again by killing everybody else that exists
jaden was naturally like "no wai" and they dueled and then she awakened his past memories
and he remembered the promise they made in their past life
so he used the Plot Device of the season to fuse their souls together
it was really sad ;;
♫Katheryn
DDD:
❥ ℬattycake ღ
aaaawww
space dolphin!
it is implied that this helped heal yubel's soul and made her not insane anymore ;;
/boots up avi file of the subbed final episode of season three
man, this will be weird after being so used to the dub
THE JAPANESE OP IS SO EFFING PRETTY
jaden's japanese voice is SO CUTE OH MY GOD
SO CUTE
I CANNOT ACTUALLY STAND ITS CUTENESS
...i suppose now that i'm watching the subs, i should switch to the japanese nameset entirely
"You're not acting like an adult." --kenzan (hassleberry) to manjoume (chazz)
LMAO WHEN HAS HE EVER ACTED LIKE AN ADULT
well, finally sho (cyrus) is admitting to all the shit he said when under the influence of the shiny tattoo
i was wondering when he'd admit that jaden's psychotic break was his fault
i mean juudai
DAMMIT
STUPID NAMES
I WILL NEVER REMEMBER THEM
zane zane zane zane zane zane zane zane zane zane your japanese voice is somehow even hotter than your dub voice
aaaaah god the sub's dialogue for the yubel duel is so much better ungh god /rolls around in it
SURPRISINGLY, A LOT OF JADEN'S DIALOGUE IN THESE FLASHBACKS IS REMINISCENT OF *LELOUCH'S*, OF ALL PEOPLE
he tells zane/ryo that he'll "make a miracle"
and before dueling yubel, he says, "I can't protect my precious friends with just kindness. Therefore, I will protect everyone - even if it means being called a devil!"
hoooooly shit /SMOTHERS FACE IN THIS SCRIPT
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD *JADEN CRASHES BACK TO EARTH IN A METEOR*
OH MY GOD NO I CAN'T HANDLE IT
IT'S TOO MUCH
*IT'S TOO MUCH*
♫Katheryn
IS THIS REAL LIFE?
space dolphin!
SO MANY EMOTIONS I CANNOT EVEN
A METEOR
A FREAKING METEOR
♫Katheryn
LIKE SUPERMAN
space dolphin!
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD
I
AND THE FIRST THING HE SAYS IS "IT WAS FRIED SHRIMP DAY TODAY, WASN'T IT?"
AAAAAAH GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD THIS KID I LOVE HIM TOO MUCH
so much.... i can't take it....
GX Season Three: COMPLETED. /collapses in a heap
oh god all these emotions
all the emotions that i felt this season
there were so many
there were *so many*
non-possessed!marcel actually has a hilariously dry sense of humor
i wish he got more lines
his backstory's actually kind of cute
i ship him with blair
wow that's the first in a while i've shipped anything het, isn't it?
space dolphin!
ATTICUS ATTICUS ATTICUS
WHERE WERE YOU FOR THE PAST TWENTY SEVEN EPISODES?????????
aaaaaaah jaden ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;
god dammit you know i can't stand it when you're sad
can i just give you a big hug
TINY JADEN WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE
well-meaning good friend: /laughs at the idea that jaden can talk to duel spirits
yubel: /eats his soul
(unsure)
man, yubel, killing your buddy's friends isn't very nice
.....space waves.
............i suppose it still isn't worse than dinosaur DNA.
THIS SHOW IS INIMICAL TO SCIENCE
space dolphin!
oh my god jaden is angstily punching pillows in his room
JADEN. ANGST.
IT'S LIKE
I
THINGS THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST
THEY EXIST NOW
❥ ℬattycake ღ
.....o.o
I want a clip
space dolphin!
jaden: I'M COMING JOHAAAAAAAN
NAKAMA MATATA
WHAT A WONDERFUL PHRASE
NAKAMA MATATA
AIN'T NO PASSING CRAAAZE
IT'S MEANS PURE FRIENDSHIP
FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS
man, they didn't spend long back in the real world
one episode and back into the fray
and by fray, i mean "traversing the myriads of alternate dimensions in search of jaden's boyfriend"
aaaaaand suddenly jaden and friends are helping in a rebellion against duel monster overlords who are abusing the populace
so what's the structural difference between humans and duel spirits anyway?
i mean, obviously the more monstrous ones are different, but some of the humanoid ones look just like people. what's the major difference?
AND HOW THE BALLS DO THEY HAVE DUEL DISKS?
IF YOU'RE A DUEL SPIRIT
AND YOU HAVE GIANT-ASS WOLVERINE KNOCK-OFF CLAWS
WHY WOULD YOU PLAY A CARD GAME?
WHERE DO THE CARDS COME FROM?
THE CARDS REPRESENT *YOUR FELLOW DUEL SPIRITS*
i. i just. i can't understand this. all of the other world-building is plausible but this just throws it entirely out of whack
oh, 4kids, why "sent to the stars?"
THEY MEAN YOU *DIE*
space dolphin!
jim gets feedback from the eye of sauron
probably because he's hiding a palantir underneath those bandages
man, this is at least the fourth duel in a row where the fates of other people's lives - as well as jaden's own - are at risk
you can see the intense stress of it all beginning to take its psychological toll
not to mention that since he has to win, he's directly responsible for the other losing his life
he's killed two people now by virtue of that, with no other choice
with no other option because no matter what, someone's going to die, and it can't be him or his friends
you can see it really starting to eat into him
his temper is getting shorter, where before he'd never even really had one
yeah, endanger the safety of the entire band of refugees, jaden. that's a great plan.
OUR PROTAGONIST, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
polaris ✧
...wait Jaden's the *protagonist*?
I was expecting it to be...someone more.....warm and fuzzy
space dolphin!
hahahahahahahahahahaha that's funny
BeyondمليكBee
pffft. jaden is a role model for us all
space dolphin!
THIS IS YU-GI-OH! GX, BITCHES
polaris ✧
I THOUGHT HE WAS LIKE
THE ANTI-HERO OR NOT SO EVIL BAD GUY OR SOMETHING
space dolphin!
wait.....wait, really?
polaris ✧
r-really
space dolphin!
like, for real real?
polaris ✧
for real omg /face in hands
space dolphin!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nope! jaden's the hero!
for a given value of hero, really :V
polaris ✧
sjdfkl oic xD
space dolphin!
aaaaaaaaah that was a dick move! D:
the guy killed the kid jaden was trying to save
like, the kid was literally *in his arms* and zure killed him
and jaden's just like DDDDDDD8
i have no idea what those thingies did but i bet it was bad
jaden searches in the mountains for johan and seems to be late coming back
everyon assumes he and johan are banging
sadly that's not the case
i wish it were the case
i wish it with all my heart
ATTICUS I LOVE YOU AND YOUR UKELELE
aaaand jaden's friends are starting to realize that he's a sociopath
as if it weren't already obvious...
although, to be fair, alexis, he's not asking for your help because he's afraid his Plot Armor won't keep you all from *dying*
HINT.
HINT.
HINT.
aww, chazz, jaden's trying to put on a brave face for you ;;
he even found a bunch of chocobos
why don't they notice the sudden appearance of the glowing evil-looking tattoos on their skin? WHY IS NO ONE SMART IN THIS SHOW.
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD NOOOOOOOOOO THEY KILLED HIM
polaris ✧
????
space dolphin!
THEY KILLED CHAZZ OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
polaris ✧
D8
space dolphin!
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
space dolphin!
and the guy intentionally infected all jaden's friends with negative emotions so they'll spew all his triggers back at him
and when he deals damage to his opponent, one of them DIES AAAAAAAAAAAAH
but he can't not duel because THEY'LL DIE ANYWAY AAAAAAAAAAAAAH
OH MY GOD THIS SEASON AAAAAAAAH
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE DYIIING
❥ ℬattycake ღ
aren't they like all back by season 4?
space dolphin!
well *yeah* but JADEN DOESN'T KNOW THAT
polaris ✧
D8
xD
❥ ℬattycake ღ
OH
YEAH
HEHE
space dolphin!
HE'S LITERALLY BEING FORCED TO KILL HIS OWN FRIENDS
NO FUCKING WONDER HE SNAPS AFTER THIS DUEL

HOLY GOD WHO WROTE THIS SEASON

ajklsjfdkdsjklsa
space dolphin!
THIS IS NOT A CHILDREN'S SHOW HOLY SHIT WHAT THE CRAAAAAAP
/screaming oh my god this is worse than yubel
oh my god jaden will never recover from this
he is literally being forced to kill his own friends
and brron has cards that force his monsters to attack even when jaden stands down
oh my goooooooood
polaris ✧
DDDDD:
space dolphin!
aaaaah god this is so
i can't even
*i can't even*
DDDDDDDDDDDD:
ohmygodohmygod can it be
can it be can it be can it be
jaden's pissed
oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god /breathing into paper bag
they finally did it
with no friends left to give jaden a reason to keep the veneer of functionality over his sociopathic tendencies...
brron is now Officially Fucked
space dolphin!
aaaaaaaah even cyrus left him
cyrus abandoned him DDDDDD:
because of the stupid Hate Plague thing
❥ ℬattycake ღ
D8
hate plague?
space dolphin!
brron infected them with these rune things that amplified their negative emotions
❥ ℬattycake ღ
:/
space dolphin!
so they all start doubting jaden and hating him and being all IT'S YOUR FAULT YOUR FAUUUULT
❥ ℬattycake ღ
HOW CAN YOU EVEN HATE JADEN
space dolphin!
which of course is his major character crisis right at that moment
❥ ℬattycake ღ
><
space dolphin!
so he's all DDDDDDD8
and now ha-ou's out to buzz-saw people in the face
because nobody thought through their actions
❥ ℬattycake ღ
8D
space dolphin!
BUZZSAWING PEOPLE IN THE FACE AW YISS
:'(
oh my god you guys this show
:CCCCCCCC
polaris ✧
:'(
space dolphin!
jaden has nothing left
they took everything away from him
BeyondمليكBee
permanently?
space dolphin!
for the rest of this arc :V
BUT IT STILL HURTS
BeyondمليكBee
*snugs* <3
AWW FUCK YESS HA-OUUUUUUUUUUU
HA-OU I WAITED FOR YOU
I WAITED AND WAITED
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVEN EPISODES I WAITED FOR YOU
AND YOU'RE HEEEEEEEEERE
TO CUT BITCHES UP
AND TAKE NAMES
MOTHERFUCKING ZANE ALL UP IN THIS BITCH
zane you are such a magnificent dick
and yet somehow noble in your dickishness
"He captures them - every last man, woman, and child." awwwww yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahh ha-ou don't mess around
actually, how much time has passed since the brron duel, anyway? by episode time, it seems like only a few days
but there's no way
it has to be at least a couple weeks, if not close to a month
HE IS THE POWAAAAAAAH
now that stupid song is stuck in my head
Snap - I've Got The power
WHERE ARE THE AMV'S TO THIS
~HEEE COULD BREAK MY HEART, HE COULD BREAK MY HEART - HE'S GOT THE POWER!~
okay i'm done
space dolphin!
maaaaaaaan i am so curious as to ha-ou's actual motivations
i mean, the current "round up all the duelists and buzzsaw them to death" plan is to finish the super polymerization card, which he's going
to attempt to save johan with, or so it would seem
but he was the king of dark world during his actual lifetime ages ago, and it's pretty clear no one liked him then, either
or did they?
or is it?
so....would that make ha-ou a duel spirit, or a human? what would it even matter? WHY IS THE WORLD-BUILDING SO FUCKING CONTRADICTORY???
/PUNCHES THE WRITERS OF GX FOR NOT MAKING THIS MAKE MORE SENSE GDIT
Anzila86
Like most things in GX the answer is the writers aren't that great at their jobs
why am i not surprised that jaden made friends with a crocodile
jim: "I'm not surprised...because Jaden's everyone's friend."
*cough*SLUT*cough
space dolphin!
aw, guys, don't be scared
the tower's not such a bad place
that's probably where jaden's keeping his harem
ALL OF DARK WORLD IS HIS HAREM NOW
cause he's trying to fill the void in his heart where johan was ;;
ha-ou's got such classy decor
pits of lava, broken duel disks - which in this world is essentially the equivalent of severed arms...
--oh who the hell is this guy and why is he delaying THE REVEAL? jerk >C
OH HA-OU
BURNING VILLAGES
SNATCHING YOUR PEOPLE UP
BETTER HIDE YOUR KIDS, HIDE YOUR WIFE, AND HIDE YOUR HUSBAND
BECAUSE THEY'RE DUELING EVERYBODY OUT HERE
oooooooooh classy with the full-face mask. kind of getting anglo-saxon vibes off the design, sort of beowulf-era
although that's a little back from the general time-period design of the rest of dark world, which appears to be invoking medieval-era shit
i'd peg it arthurian-era
which is several years later
eh. maybe ha-ou is classy retro.
hahahahaha jim and axel's faces
when they find out their friend has been pillaging and shit
so much D8
man, elite mooks
ha-ou knows how to pick 'em
hahahaha ha-ou just does not give a shit.
he seriously does not give a shit.
you remember how jaden rarely gave a shit? ha-ou gives HALF as many shits as jaden ever gave
maybe a quarter
probably ZERO.
zero shits
mooks are all THOSE GUYS ESCAPED and he's like NO 1 CURR
look at all the shits ha-ou gives
HIS DUEL DISK IS A BUZZSAW AND THAT IS AWESOME
oh my god this season
aaaaaah jaden ;~~~~~~~~~;
he's lost in the darkneeesssssss
he thinks it's all hsi fauuuuuuult
;~~~~~~~~;
aaaaah god this is actively heartwrenching
my heart
it is being wrenched
so much
by this
:'(
:'( :'(
Anzila86
I'd say he at least learned about what happens when you charge in without listening to your friends
but that would be hilarious in season 4
space dolphin!
aaaaaah he's so sad
i can't bear seeing him so sad
it hurts my heeeaaart
ha-ou is actually fascinating
I HOPE TO GOD THAT THEY BOTHERED TO GIVE HIM A GOOD BACKSTORY
OR ELSE I'LL JUST MAKE ONE UP
see, because he doesn't seem to take any pleasure in declaring that friendship is balls and blah blah blah
he doesn't take any pleasure in anything
so what fucked him up so bad?
Anzila86
Random, whatever you make up will be much better than whatever they give us, so go for it
space dolphin!
something awful *must* have happened to him to make him give up on everyone apart from himself
and i *know* from spoilers that he pledged his eternal love to Yubel in their past life
so he's *CAPABLE* of emotions
i am just. i am honestly fascinated
because he's not like bakura or melvin where they're all LOLOLOL EVIL IS THE BEST LET'S THROW YUGI OVER THE EDGE OF THE BOAT ETC.
he's just like :|
:| :| :| :|
Anzila86
Well, Bakura actually had reasons for wanting to murdify the pharaoh
And Melvin was the personification of the abuse Marik suffered
space dolphin!
oh, i know they had actual motivations
Anzila86
but yeah, something had to happen to fuck King Dark World up
space dolphin!
but they also took pleasure in causing suffering, that's the thing
ha-ou doesn't care. he's not enjoying this. he's just doing shit because that's what he does, apparently.
so why does he do it?
I HAVE RESOLVED TO FIND OUT.
Anzila86
The honest answer? Bad writing. That's why i want you to come up with something better
space dolphin!
damn ittttttttt why do i have to like the show with bad writing
Anzila86
Because it's brainrottingly hilarious?
space dolphin!
IT IS, BUT SOMEHOW IT HAS WORKED ITS WAY INTO MY HEART
;;
jim: YOU CAN'T! ha-ou: SCREW THE FUCKING RULES, I HAVE A CAPE.
AWW YEAH BADASS BOASTING
ha-ou's got a fucking badass boast
i instantly add this to my headcanon, crossreferencing beowulf and everything i know about norse mythology in the process
I AM FEAR! I AM YOUR UNDOING! I AM THE TIMELESS CURSE! *THE END OF ALL THINGS!*
holy fuck that's awesome
HA-OU KILLED JIM WITH A MOTHERFUCKING METEOR
HE'S LIKE SEPHIROTH EXCEPT AWESOME
space dolphin!
aah not shirley!
KILLING THE CROCODILE WAS UNNECESSARY
Anzila86
Now I'm just picturing Lelouch sobbing brokenly as he clutches a crocodile to his chest
space dolphin!
.....omg /laughs through her broken sobs
i still can't believe i've watched 140 episodes in four weeks
and now i am raring to bulldoze through season three
oh, aster, you're so smooth
smooth with your lies and your sweet-talk
ahahah lock him in a room with zane
easy route to death
screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam zane is interrogating people squeeeeeee
ridin' tauntauns aww yeah
axel has not experienced this strange fear emotion before
he doesn't know how to handle it
he's like BUT I'M A BADASS D:
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO FEEL FEEEAR
space dolphin!
omg that random girl has a trident
BeyondمليكBee
*giggles*
space dolphin!
maybe she'll kill someone with it
BeyondمليكBee
are you hoping?
space dolphin!
THERE WERE HORSES AND A MAN ON FIRE
AND I KILLED A GUY WITH A TRIDENT
ah god i love season three
i just fucking love it
ah god i can't even stand it
everyone is badass
well, everyone left alive, anyway :V
RELEASE THE HELLHOUNDS
man, if she could call up water to kill fire, why didn't she just do that in the first place?
aaaaaah axel ;~~~~~~~~~~;
WHY IS EVERYONE SO AWESOME
/SCREAM ZANE
OH MY GOD HIM AND ASTER WALKING TOWARDS TEH FORTRESS
AND ZANE'S JUST LIKE
"LET'S....GET OUR GAME ON. C<"
aaaaah scream omg
...hey wait a minute what happened to that rune thing that was on cyrus?
he never was shown to break it or undo it
who's that creeping on cyrus? :/a
BeyondمليكBee
...jaden?
space dolphin!
no, jaden's ha-ou right now, and he's busy burninating the countryside
BURNINATING THE COUNTRYSIDE
BURNINATING ALL THE PEASAAAANTS
BURNINATING ALL THE PEOPLEEEEEE
lmao the guy said "RUN, COWARD!" haha he wishes he was sinistar, man
his mask even kind of looks like sinistar
that's funny, dude
so basically, jim's like young australian dumbledore with a crocodile
....that made more sense in my head
Белла
:|a
space dolphin!
this show is like a divine mystery, bella
Белла
it sounds pretty fabulous
space dolphin!
it is utterly unexplainable. possibly ineffable.
Белла
maybe I will check this stuff out
I like me some bewilderment
space dolphin!
it's so stupid it loops into brilliance, and around into "this is out of the grasp of understanding"
it may actually be its own eldritch abomination
Anzila86
This is a show where a school to learn to play card games is the least absurd part of the premise
space dolphin!
the *least* absurd
Anzila86
the card games on motorcycles show is more internally consistent
And that had someone eaten by a giant ancient evil gecko
space dolphin!
if only because to achieve less internal consistency than GX is a physical impossibility
hahaha oh my god aster is so short
man i love the lord of the rings-esque feel of some of these army shots
this is 2006 or 2007 so it's post-peter jackson
they're invoking a lot of isengard in some of the shots with ha-ou
HAHAHAHA ZANE, ASTER, AND AXEL ARE INFILTRATING THE DARK CITY USING THE POWER OF COSPLAY
AAAAAH SO MUCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IN THIS SEASOOOOOOON
FOR EVERYONE
aaaaah the internal consistency might be shit but hnnnngh god the character development
mmmmmmmmm ha-ou said "eviscerated"
i bet he knows all about eviscerating people
with his FUCKING BUZZ SAW
man, you would think they'd bother to at least try to explain ha-ou's vaguely defined darkness powers, but all they do is make smoke
he's essentially a walking fog machine
i bet he's a hit at raves
HA-OU IS A LIVING FOG MACHINE
NO SERIOUSLY
THAT'S LIKE HIS POWER
BeyondمليكBee
...like literally?
space dolphin!
FACTOR IN THE SHINY EYES AND HE'S A LIVING ONE-MAN RAVE
although the spikes would make raving with him unpleasant to say the least
BeyondمليكBee
XDDDD
space dolphin!
lmao i am so putting that in jaden's app if i ever app him somewhere
"Living one-man rave. Also comes free with his own harem."
aaaah omg ;;;;;;;;;
omgomgomgomgomgomgomg
axel's like JADEN! JOHAN WAS SEEN ALIVE!! HE NEEDS YOUUUUU!
and ha-ou's like NO YOU'LL RUIN EVERYTHING
I CAN'T FIGHT THE POWER OF GUY LOVE BETWEEN TWO GUYS
IT'S TOO POWERFULLLLLLLLLLLL
RAINBOWS ARE MY ONLY WEAKNEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
BeyondمليكBee
*ITS GUUUYY LOOVVEEE*

--hey winged kuriboh WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU DURING THIS CLUSTERFUCK

Now i'm imagining wing kuriboh in a corvette wearing sunglasses
LMAO ZANE'S PISSED BECAUSE HA-OU TURNED HIM ON AND NOW HE'S GONE
oh zane
*oh zane*
you and your fetishes
and your leather and your shock collars and your bondage kinks
lmao zane is momma-birding at jaden in the best way he knows how
by being a magnificent douchebag
Anzila86
Hey, he did that to his little brother, and Cyrus turned out just fi-oh
oops
space dolphin!
OOPS.
space dolphin!
aaah god, zane's digging right at jaden's issues
and jaden is just flinching with every word
;~~~~~~;
aaaaah jaden and your PTSD flashbacks ;~~~~~~;
/scoops him up
/holds him ;;
man, what the fuck, you are not going to help his issues by berating him until he is suddenly better
WHY ARE THERE NO THERAPISTS
Anzila86
Because they're in a alternate dimension full of monsters where everyone fights with card games?
space dolphin!
but i mean this is *basic human decency*
Anzila86
it's also Zane
space dolphin!
........well, yeah.
Anzila86
The guy who put a shock collar on his little brother
space dolphin!
he solves all his problems by yelling at them, shocking them, dueling them, or perving on them.
sometimes all four.
:'(
jaden's sobbing his heart out in the arena where everyone died
just dropped to the ground in anguish
ah god i can't watch this
it hurts my heart too much ;~~~~~~~~;
I GET EMOTIONAL, YOU GUYS
I HAVE MANY EMOTIONS
/buries face in internet and weeps
BeyondمليكBee
awwwwwww. poor guy.
space dolphin!
OH MY GOD THE GUY CHALLENGES HIM AND JADEN ACCEPTS BECAUSE HE THINKS HE'LL LOSE ON PURPOSE
BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOSE *YOU DIE*
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD
NOOOOOOOOOO GOD I CAN'T HANDLE THIS YOU GUYS
I CAN'T I CAN'T
man, cyrus, if all he needs to do is find the courage to forgive himself, why don't YOU offer some encouraging words?
considering you haven't spoken to him since you ABANDONED HIM IN THE ARENA
AND BASICALLY WERE THE FINAL STRAW IN HIS PSYCHOTIC BREAKDOWN
wow cyrus you are a great friend, huh.
you are a pretty fantastic human being
douchebaggery must run in the truesdale line or something
Anzila86
Actually Cyrus left because he was affected by the orb of sorrow, and did just watch Jaden get all their friends killed
in the original version he was doing some thing where he was supposed to be chronicling the battle
it didn't make much sense
space dolphin!
i know, but they never established when he stopped being affected by the orb, which also bothers me
Anzila86
They might have in the sub...it's hard to keep track of this swiss cheese plot
space dolphin!
/brb gripping head
so....so the plot of Season Three is essentially The Dark Tower
all the twelve dimensions are collapsing towards a breaking point in the center
KIND OF AWESOME
tania tries to convince jaden that his portable fog machine can stop yubel
jaden reminds her that the writers aren't smart enough to remember to make that a plot point
CURSES FOILED AGAIN
heylittlemomo◦
DUD A CHUM

OH YUBEL YOU ARE NOT CONVINCING ANYONE
seriously, it's like watching marik pretend to be normal
BWAHAHAHA DESTROY YOU ALL --I MEAN, IGNORE MEEEEE
crowler can't even follow this, none of this dialogue makes any sense if you can't figure out that yubel is inside johan
hnnnnnnnnnnngh that outfit
/flails
jaden: SO CONFUSED....and yet, so turned on....BUT SO CONFUSED
Anzila86
I AM Y...YOHAN....YES...IT IS SCANDINAVIAN!
space dolphin!
HAHAHA EXACTLY
JOHAN WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY MUSCLES
YOU PLAY CARD GAMES
HOW

WHY
i'd ask more questions but my mouth has filled with drool, rendering me effectively mute
Anzila86
You ever tried to open those little foil packs?
space dolphin!
--l-lmao
Anzila86
They are a pain to get open
..........i am crying actual tears. not internet tears, i mean there are actual tears on my face in real life.

the season of crazy
of meteors and fires and dinosaur DNA
of rainbows and dragons and rainbow dragons
of stalkers with crushes and space tamburlaine
of duel disks that are machine guns, buzzsaws, and just plain grown out of arms
the season during which all other seasons will be hilarious
i
am ready
THEY JUST DO NOT STOP TOUCHING EACH OTHER
IF YUBEL HADN'T STUCK AROUND TO WATCH THIS SILLINESS, ZE COULD HAVE UNLEASHED THE SECRET PLAN LIKE FIVE TIMES OVER BY NOW
ohmygodohmygod
johan gives jaden his deck because he can't go with him
TAKE MY DECK
SO I'LL BE WITH YOU
oh my god
only jaden can have johan's deck
/rolling around laughing
lmao yubel, drive away all jaden's friends, that will make him happy
YOU JERK
no wonder he grew up into a total sociopath
i bet even when he got to duel academy, his deepest fear was always that his friends would just suddenly stop being his friends
hence his intense obsession with keeping them around
hell, he even insisted that chazz was his friend despite obvious repeated signs to the contrary
JADEN'S SLUTTERY WAS THE PRODUCT OF HIS CHILDHOOD LONELINESS ;;;;;
OH MY GOD YUBEL USED TO BEAM HER AGONY TO TINY JADEN IN THE FORM OF HORRIBLE NIGHTMARES
HOLY FUCK
HOLY FUUUUUUUCK NO WONDER HE'S SUCH A FUCKING PSYCHO
it's honestly kind of sad because it's clear she was just trying to reach him and not to actively hurt him (at that time)
but hooooooly shit
HOLY WHAT THE EVERLASTING FUCK THE WHAT I CAN'T EVEN JUST WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WHAT
oh my god this kid
his nightmares got so bad that his parents sent him to have experimental psychological treatments done *on his brain*
and that's how he forgot yubel
hooooooly whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
this kid
holy fucking shiiiiiiiit
SUDDENLY
ALL OF HIS BEHAVIOR
MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE
like holy fuck
i can't even
*i can't even*
what kind of parents are these
why didn't they just send him to NORMAL THERAPY
MAYBE NORMAL THERAPY DOESN'T EXIST IN THIS WORLD
I'D BELIEVE IT
BECAUSE HOLY CRAAAAAAAAP
i am just clutching my head silently screaming into the night
jaden she literally just told you what she's going to do with that
"What is Yubel planning?" SHE JUST TOLD YOU
SHE LITERALLY JUST TOLD YOU
jaden, jinzo did that back in season one, it's been well-established that duel monsters can summon their own cards
"LET US SUFFER TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY!" (unsure)
CHAZZ ;~~~~~~~~~~~~;
YOU'RE ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE
normally i'd say it's a total cop-out but eh
it's 4kids
and in any case, it's not like this makes the psychological effects of jaden thinking he'd killed them any less, by this point
Anzila86
Actually that copout wasn't 4Kids
space dolphin!
well. i suppose it couldn't have been, since they don't *make* the anime
in fact, 4kids never letting them say "die" actually made it make more sense
they were always like THEY WERE SENT AWAY/SENT TO THE STARS
so then everyone turning out to be in a different dimension makes internal sense
but everyone *dying* and then suddenly being okay makes less sense
JADEN FUSED NEOS AND RAINBOW DRAGON OH MY GOD
ALL THE RAINBOWS
SO MANY
SO BRIGHT SO VIVID
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
TOO MUCH
TOO MUUUUUCH
so many rainbows
so...many....
♫Katheryn
LOOK AT ALL THE RAINBOWS HE GIVES?
space dolphin!
LOOK
AT ALL
THE RAINBOWS
HE GIVES
FUSION OF FRIENDSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP
"THE ONLY THING AT THE END OF THIS RAINBOW IS A WORLD OF HURT."
oh my god
oh my god i can't
i cannot
oh my god tiny ha-ou is FUCKING ADORABLE AAAAAAH
HOW DID HE GET SO MAGNIFICENTLY FUCKED UP
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW
aaah ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;
GOD DAMMIT YUBEL
GOD DAMMIT JADEN
GOD
DAMMIT
GOD DAMN THE WRITERS
NO WAIT I TAKE IT BACK
GOD BLESS THE WRITERS
BECAUSE ALL OF THESE EMOTIONS THAT I AM FEELING
SO MANY
SO MANY FEELINGS
:'(
so 4kids was so squicked by jaden/yubel being canon that they figured it was better to imply that jaden died rather than go and dub season 4
let me repeat that
4KIDS
*4KIDS*
FELT IT WAS BETTER
TO IMPLY THAT THE PROTAGONIST DIED
THAN TO GO ON AND DUB SEASON FOUR
♫Katheryn
...what o_O
space dolphin!
YEAH
YEAH
YEAH IT'S ACTUAL CANONICAL CANON
NOT HEADCANON
NOT IMPLIED CANON
IT'S *CANON*
♫Katheryn
the fuck, man
space dolphin!
it's actually really sad
♫Katheryn
that doesn't even make *sense*
space dolphin!
yubel was the guardian spirit of the supreme king, who was originally supposed to be a force for good except something happened and he got crazy or something (THEY HAVEN'T YET ADDRESSED THIS because the writers are terrible)
and they promised their eternal love to one another
then they died and were reincarnated eons later
as jaden and the duel spirit of a card, respectively
but then yubel was a little overzealous due to having a medieval idea of "protection" and so anyone who appeared to be a threat to jaden ended up getting put into comas
so eventually his parents made him send yubel into space and then hired scientists to wipe his memory because they were too cheap to pay for actual real child therapy
then yubel was exposed to the light of ruin from last season and went insane
♫Katheryn
... just. staring. o__O
space dolphin!
so then after all the shit that happened in season three, which was orchestrated by yubel to pay jaden back for all her pain AND awaken the supreme king's spirit so they could be together forever again by killing everybody else that exists
jaden was naturally like "no wai" and they dueled and then she awakened his past memories
and he remembered the promise they made in their past life
so he used the Plot Device of the season to fuse their souls together
it was really sad ;;
♫Katheryn
DDD:
❥ ℬattycake ღ
aaaawww
space dolphin!
it is implied that this helped heal yubel's soul and made her not insane anymore ;;
/boots up avi file of the subbed final episode of season three
man, this will be weird after being so used to the dub
THE JAPANESE OP IS SO EFFING PRETTY
jaden's japanese voice is SO CUTE OH MY GOD
SO CUTE
I CANNOT ACTUALLY STAND ITS CUTENESS
...i suppose now that i'm watching the subs, i should switch to the japanese nameset entirely
"You're not acting like an adult." --kenzan (hassleberry) to manjoume (chazz)
LMAO WHEN HAS HE EVER ACTED LIKE AN ADULT
well, finally sho (cyrus) is admitting to all the shit he said when under the influence of the shiny tattoo
i was wondering when he'd admit that jaden's psychotic break was his fault
i mean juudai
DAMMIT
STUPID NAMES
I WILL NEVER REMEMBER THEM
zane zane zane zane zane zane zane zane zane zane your japanese voice is somehow even hotter than your dub voice
aaaaah god the sub's dialogue for the yubel duel is so much better ungh god /rolls around in it
SURPRISINGLY, A LOT OF JADEN'S DIALOGUE IN THESE FLASHBACKS IS REMINISCENT OF *LELOUCH'S*, OF ALL PEOPLE
he tells zane/ryo that he'll "make a miracle"
and before dueling yubel, he says, "I can't protect my precious friends with just kindness. Therefore, I will protect everyone - even if it means being called a devil!"
hoooooly shit /SMOTHERS FACE IN THIS SCRIPT
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD *JADEN CRASHES BACK TO EARTH IN A METEOR*
OH MY GOD NO I CAN'T HANDLE IT
IT'S TOO MUCH
*IT'S TOO MUCH*
♫Katheryn
IS THIS REAL LIFE?
space dolphin!
SO MANY EMOTIONS I CANNOT EVEN
A METEOR
A FREAKING METEOR
♫Katheryn
LIKE SUPERMAN
space dolphin!
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD
I
AND THE FIRST THING HE SAYS IS "IT WAS FRIED SHRIMP DAY TODAY, WASN'T IT?"
AAAAAAH GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD THIS KID I LOVE HIM TOO MUCH
