Dub Episode...


What? Just What.

Did I miss a marathon or something? I don't think I did, considering that no one has been discussing the dub eps in between.

And it doesn't look like they're switching around the episode order either, because during the segment where they showed what happened previously, it shows episode 41-Yuu's duel with Aki(za).

The episode in itself was pretty good,

1) Go(o)dwin tells off Leo quite a few times, and quite a bit more cuttingly. Poor baby.

2) Yuu's talk with Aki(za) stays roughly the same, but slightly more shippy (because 4Kids likes pressing the main ships, of course).

3) Jack is being very bitchy about this whole "saving the world" schtik, and threatens to leave several times  if he doesn't get all the answers. "If the world is going to end, I might as well spend the last few days cruising around on my runner!!!" Oh, dub!Jack.


but I have a few qualms to pick:

1) Godwin tells Jack that it's highly likely that Carly is fighting for the Dark Signers. Way to spoil the surprise for him, Jack.

2) They don't mention anything about the Dark Signers being zombie cultists dead and being unlikely to be saved. Instead, they mention that their decks are near impossible to beat, and it's not entirely sure whether they can lose.

3) Yusei gives a whole speech about how he knows he has to face the DS's with everything he's got, which sort of makes the epiphany at Martha's house later on rather useless.

4) WE MISSED ALL THE FUCKING COOL EPISODES WITH CARLY!ANGST AND MARTHA!BADASSERY!!! COME OOOOOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!

Given the way the previouslies were cut, I'm calling a scheduling fuckup and I'm thinking about checking KTLA later this morning to see if it gets straightened out for the west coat. Either that or it was airing during the week and nobody knew (although that would have only been five episodes then and we skipped six, so it can't be that) .....or, possibility three that just occoured to me: they could be ommitting them for Saturday morning fare, but they'll eventually air on the Cartoon Network (which would blow since I don't get the Cartoon Network up here) Either way, they're obviously not completely ommitting episodes to the point of them not existing. I'm still leaning the strongest towards option 1 though.

And truthfully, they do mention that it's possible that the Dark Signers can't be saved. It's done in that "we have to be incredibly vague for the FCC and can't flat out say that anyone is going to die" doublespeak. But it's there. Because I was making >:| faces until I managed to pick it out. XD

(and you know, honestly, I'm not even all that upset over missing out on all the Carly and Martha and Divine and all that.... because: DO YOU REALIZE HOW CLOSE THIS PUTS US TO CROW VS. JAEGER!? =D It's entirely possible that it will air NEXT WEEK!!! I WILL BE SO HAPPY IF IT DOES!!! If that makes me a bad person, so be it. XD)
