Where I rewatch Yugioh GX, Episode 128
Nov. 24th, 2010 03:54 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
cypsiman2So, over at the excavation site, they've unearthed enough of Rainbow Dragon's ridiculously gigantic lithograph, and then Pegasus puts on an even more ridiculous cybernetic suit concoction. Yes, yes, the creation of the great and wonderful Rainbow Dragon card is nigh. Truly, this shall eclipse the creation of the Egyptian God Cards! Meanwhile, back on the island where Duel Academia once stood, Hell Kaiser Ryou stands in wait for his duel to start. Blah blah blah, what will happen when the Cyber Dragons and the Gem Beasts battle, and Johan is sure that it will be fun. And now over to the caverns in the other dimension, and Judai arrives in the chamber that once held the Legendary Demon cards well after Demon Martin and Amon have taken off. There is a hole way high up in the ceiling of that chamber, Judai somehow gets up there, we are not shown how, and Judai ends up in the principals office. You'd think that Demon Martin would have just quietly and discretely used that entrance, but that would be an instance of intelligent behavior. Oh, the door opens, and surprise surprise, Chronos and all of O'Brien's grunts are now zombies. Whoop di doo, calmly shoving them aside and ignoring them still seems to be the obvious solution that no one can take up on. Suddenly, we hear Pharaoh yowling, and Daitokuji's soul comes flying into the room, to let Judai know that he should head on over to the Tennis Court where everyone else is. Then the zombies are easily knocked down by a single fat tabby cat, and their threat level manages to decline, despite being at zero at this point. And now Demon Martin, who's just sitting in the middle of a random stairway, thinking about how so many of Judai's friends have been turned against him and how painful it must be for him, but it's the only that it can tell him...
TITLE SCREEN! GEM BEASTS VS. CYBER END DRAGON rather telling that it isn't cyber dark dargon, isn't it?
Pegasus uses his incredibly stupid looking suit to design the Rainbow Dragon card in record time, everyone cheers like we're supposed to be impressed, and then orders the data to be sent to Einstein. You know, I have to ask...what would have happened if he hadn't been looking at the Lithograph while designing the card? I mean, in the case of the Egyptian God Cards, the Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, and the Blue Eyes White Dragon, these were the embodiments of certain select souls, so it made a difference that the Ka Tablets in the Shrine of Wedju were used as the inspiration. But, the Rainbow Dragon...is not a creature or soul or anything that ever actually existed, its just a carving that a bunch of gemstones were supposed to have been shoved into, so there's no real reason to think that there's going to be any super special power behind this thing...oh, right, I keep forgetting, this is the anime continuity, and in the anime, every card has a spirit, even Jerry Beans Man. Makes absolutely no sense, but there you go. Anyway, Einstein's lab gets the card data, so now they get to making it, hoping that Hell Kaiser Ryou and Johan will be able to produce enough Duel Energy to support 100 people for a day. A moment to note how Edo and Ryou are desperately trying to look so cool and above it all and failing miserably, and now the inanely stupid duel across dimensions can begin. I can't even begin to go into how insane it is that they apparently have all this equipment for dueling across dimensions just lying around, waiting for just such an occasion to be used, so I won't. Hell Kaiser Ryou goes first, and plays Graceful Charity, drawing three cards and discarding two. Next, he summons Proto Cyber Dragon, and plays Overload Fusion, removing Proto Cyber Dragon on his field, Cyber Phoenix in his grave, and Cyber Oborous in his grave from play, to fusion summon Chimeratech Over Dragon, and for some reason Edo Phoenix gives a damn, a staunch and utterly inexplicable contrast to his previous attitude of not giving a shit about Hell Kaiser Ryou and his skillz that could not pay the bills against him.
Also, while I did call it out as hollow and meaningless, the last time Edo saw Hell Kaiser Ryou was when he almost killed Shou, and he was quite plainly horrified by Ryou's behavior. Now, he seems to have gotten over that. As has everyone else. No one seems to have the least bit of difficulty working with someone who nearly killed his own little brother, whiny underdeveloped git he may have been notwithstanding. But enough of that tangent, Chimeratech Over Dragon gains 800 attack points for each monster used for its summon, and can attack once for each monster sacrificed. So in total, Ryou's monster has 2400 attack points, and can attack three times per turn. Oh, and when Cyber Odorous is removed from play? This lets Hell Kaiser Ryou discard a card to draw a card, and the card he discards is Hell Dragon, while the card he draws is Future Fusion, which will now operate according to its real world effect; Ryou sends all three Cyber Dragons in his deck to the grave, and on his second standby phase following the activation of Future Fusion, Cyber End Dragon will be summoned to the field. Edo thinks that Ryou is just so great, as does everyone else, including Kenzan, who was right there when Hell Kaiser Ryou very nearly killed Shou, who at that point was one of his best friends. And then O'Brien wants Kenzan to come with him to guard the entrance to the Tennis Court. You know, instead of one of the good duelists, like Jim, or Asuka. Meanwhile, Johan, being the distinct and separate character that he is, acts exactly like Judai without even meaning to. And yes, Hell Kaiser Ryou flashes back to season one and the first time he dueled Judai, and Johan is exactly the same. That's right, keep hanging those lampshades, I'm sure you'll find someone who'll confuse that for good writing. Blah blah blah, infinite potential just like Judai, and Johan takes his turn.
He summons Amethyst Cat, and then equips her with Gem Release, increasing her attack power by 800. Then he activates Amethyst Cat's effect to attack directly for half damage, Einstein gets the report that the card has been finished and is on its way, and goes on about how they need more Duel Energy. Then Johan sets a card, and ends his turn. Hell Kaiser Ryou's turn, and his hand is now Fusion and all three Cyber Dark Cards. So yeah, he plays Fusion to summon Cyberdark Dragon, which by the by now goes of its real world effect, so it only gets attack power from the monsters in his grave, and not all cards. In any event, he equips the Hell Dragon that he'd sent to the grave earlier, and there are six monsters in Ryou's grave now, so that brings Cyberdark Dragon's attack power to 3600 in total. He has Cyberdark attack Amethyst Cat, it is destroyed for 1600 points of damage, becomes a Gem in Johan's spell/trap zone, everyone oohs and awes at the special effects budget that is desperately trying to sell this as an impressive duel, and Napoleon sneaks off out of the Tennis Court. Blah blah blah, Johan reveals Gem Releases other effect, that when destroyed and sent to the grave it lets him take a Gem Beast from his deck and put it in his spell/trap zone, so he goes for Ruby Carbuncle. Then Hell Kaiser Ryou declares his direct attack with Chimeratech Over Dragon, and we cut away in a vain attempt to generate false tension. What's worse, is that we cut away to Judai, who is running along, chasing after Pharaoh, asking Daitokuji if this is really where the right way to The Tennis Court. Then Daitokuji reveals that Pharaoh is running off on its own, beyond his ability to control.
*ahem*
WAHH! WAHH! WAHHHHHHHH!!
Seriously, Daitokuji, you couldn't have mentioned that sooner? Yeah, you're not doing a good job of justifying your continued existence very well, at all. Oh, and apparently Pharaoh was chasing after the scent of a fish on a plate in the middle of the hallway. Just how sensitive is this cat's nose anyway? Oh, and this trap was set by Chronos. Who we last saw back in Principal Samejima's office. How the hell he got to the kitchen, got out a fish, put it on a plate, and got it into the right spot in the hall where Pharaoh would smell it, all while shambling along at a zombie's pace, all before Daitokuji could properly direct Judai to the Tennis Court...All these plot holes, they're going to drive me insane. Judai is surrounded, and apparently calling out Winged Kuriboh to blind them all isn't an option because...
EYECATCH!
OH! It is because if Winged Kuriboh saved the day, we wouldn't get this inane scene where Napoleon saves the day! This isn't a plot hole, this is a contrived coincidence, because there writers have no clue how to establish a natural flow of events. Napoleon shows Judai a scret tunnel he can use to get to the Tennis Court, and begs him to save his son Martin. And now back to the duel, and the resolution of the faux-tension. Johan activates his trap card Gem Set; when a Gem Beast you control is destroyed as the result of battle, select a Gem Beast from your deck and put it in your spell/trap zone, then reduce all battle damage for the rest of the turn to zero. So Johan puts Emerald Turtle in his Spell/Trap zone, Hell Kaiser Ryou's attack is for naught, and now the Duel Zombies have now somehow managed to slip their hands into the the teeny tiny gap between the sliding doors. So Kenzan and O'Brien head out, punch a Duel Zombie in the face, and despite the fact that this is plainly a viable tactic, they don't run with it. Instead, there's lots of stupid card playing that resembles nothing so much as it does a mangled, mashed up version of something out of Digimon or Megaman NT Warrior. And now O'Brien and Kenzan are trying to do the whole "Back-to-Back Badass" bit, but fail on account of not being the least bit badass. And back again to the duel, and it is Johan's turn. He summons Sapphire Pegasus, uses its effect to put Amber Mammoth in his spell/trap zone, and then uses Ruby Carbuncle to mass special summon all of his Gem Beasts from his spell/trap zone. Then Johan sets two cards, and ends his turn. Hell Kaiser Ryou is all "impressive, but I trust you haven't forgotten about Future Fusion", and since its Hell Kaiser Ryou's second standby phase since he activated it, Future Fusion kicks in and summons Cyber End dragon to the field. ZOMG, explosive instrumentation, truly this duel is an epic for the ages!
Blah blah blah, Johan is reminded by his imaginary friends that Rainbow Dragon is riding on this, and so he activates his trap card, Gem Fortress; multiply the number of Gem Beasts in your monster zone you control by 1000, any monster whose attack power equals or is less than that total can't attack this turn. Hell Kaiser Ryou is unimpressed with such a trap, and equips Cyber End Dragon with Power Load; for every other attack you forgo, increase the equipped monster's attack power by 400. Chimeratech can attack three times, Cyber Dark once, so that's four attacks, so Cyber End gains 1600 attack points, which means it can attack. Or the writers could have let him gone with Limiter Removal, but what do I know? Also, remember how big a damn deal Ryou and everyone made about how ZOMG powerful Cyberdark was, and how he used Cyber End as fodder to power it up further? Now that situation has reversed, and no one finds it worthwhile to comment on. Also, Hell Kaiser Ryou's behavior has changed completely again, and no one cares. Man, we're practically up to our necks in psychological realism, am I right? Anyway, Ryou attacks, Amber Mammoth's effect forces Ryou to attack it, and Johan activates his other trap card, Amber Circle. This increases Amber Mammoth's attack power by the combined attack power of all the rest of his monsters for this turn only, making me wonder why the hell he put Emerald Turtle in his spell/trap zone instead of Topaz Tiger. I mean, I thought the idea was that they were supposed to duel with everything they had, not contrive to miraculously end up with equal attack power monsters smacking each other around. Oh, and the symbol in Amber Mammoth's...amber, becomes Rainbow Dragon. Whatever. Big light show production, this is totally epic u guiz, and now a jet that happens to be flying near the hole between dimensions is going to shoot a missile containing the Rainbow Dragon card, which is itself inside a capsule, into that hole. You know, it's a good thing the hole between dimensions opened where it did, and not deep underground, or on mars, or anywhere else in existence.
More explosive instrumentation, Rei screams, because that's the writer's default expectation for all women, and the Duel Dimension equipment gives out, bringing the duel to a premature conclusion, but its pretty clear that Hell Kaiser Ryou was going to win that one. Then they see the missile crashing down from the cloudy hole in the sky, Misawa begs Einstein to tell them how to activate Rainbow Dragons' totally amazing power, and Einstein's garbled message is "Tremendous power". Really? And now the Duel Zombies have forced their way in...somehow. Yes, yes, they're summoning monsters that are real, it's still not a legitimate threat. Okay, and how the fuck did those Duel Zombies get over there? Someone seriously needs to let the writers know that the star trek transporter is not a toy! And then suddenly Neos comes up from underground, ripping a hole in the ground, and out pops Judai, making that the worst secret tunnel ever. Yes, even worse than THAT one. And now over to Demon Martin, who's standing out in the sand and plays a Field Spell to raise up a great big mound. Then the Demon starts reminiscing, about how it's card was put into a hermetically sealed capsule, and shot into space. It comes crashing down onto the Earth, and it burns up on reentry until its been reduced to the severed burned up arm that PROFESSOR COBRA found, and all the while it keeps calling out to Judai. Now, back in the present, the Demon keeps switching voices and goes on about how it'll never forget its pain and Judai is its forever. This will get even creepier. Now down in the tunnel that Judai just used, where everyone has just gathered, and lots of blah blah blah blah blah blah blah that is very boring and tedious. And now Demon Martin makes an announcement; Judai has 30 minutes to come and duel him. If he wins, everyone becomes his zombie slave. If Judai wins, all the zombies go free. And if Judai doesn't show up, he'll kill all the zombies. Savvy? And now Judai shakes his fist and swears he won't let Demon Martin get away with this. End episode.
NEXT TIME! Huh, Asuka actually gets to summon something for once. She doesn't get to duel, but at least she gets to summon something. Oh, and Johan goes to look for Rainbow Dragon while Judai duels Demon Martin. EPISODE TITLE, THREAT OF THE THREE DEMONS! JUDAI VS. MARTIN card of the week is chimeratech over dragon.
Riddled with plot holes, contrived coincidences, and more of the concrete hints of how truly vile and disgusting this season will get. Oh, and the duel was really boring. Not a good episode, to say the least.
