Yeah, wasn't her VA getting married back then though? (I can't tell Seasons well.) For me, I'm used to old school boy show romances, where you don't see a lot between the couples. Much akin to how Scoopship went. You know they're a couple, they've confessed, but it's never been touched on again. In fact if you MISS the Dark Signer storyline you wouldn't realize they've both got feelings for each other.
While Aki's relationship with Yusei is more pushed to the back, it's more subtle.

Though this show has more in it for Faith and Scoop then DM or GX ever did. With DM forgetting Anzu's love confession after season 1 and then making every opening look like she was undecided.

GX... Judai didn't pay any attention to her it seems.

I suppose, for me the image of it manifesting in the Duel Spirit world, and so far it looks like a plant type dragon is what gets me.

(Black Rose never spoke to Aki... Though it shows a kind of pet mentality towards her... (lowering it's head close to her like a pet protecting it's master), Perhaps now she'll have a voice?


What happened to Yugi's VA? I'm asking because it seems to me that two leads for the Yugioh Brand seem to have bad situations with the company. If that's the case maybe that's why so much is dumped in the opening and closing credits? Maybe the animators don't hold out much hope for expanding a lot of the backstory anymore.
