Where I rewatch Yugioh GX, Episode 23
Jun. 2nd, 2010 01:11 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
cypsiman2Flashback to the last episode as Shou gushes about how awesome and brave and smart and cool and attractive and good-smelling Judai is, and I want to smack the damn writers around for all the goddamn shilling going on here. Oh yeah, and Professor Chronos is still being really pissy about it.
EPISODE TITLE! EXHAUSTION! THE MOKE MOKE DUEL! hopefully moke moke is some manner of weed that i can use to calm my frayed nerves...
Professor Chronos is out in the woods, grousing, and saying that he still has one last resort to prevent Judai from dueling in the big Good-Will duel. He enters the chicken coop and is promptly attacked. If these were the Coo-coos from Legend of Zelda, Chronos would be a dead man, but as it stands they are merely a mild irritant as he digs out from a sandpit to reveal a hidden door in the ground. He opens it up and proceeds to fall down about...oh, I'd say fifty feet onto a hard metal floor. He is of course and not, as you might imagine, dead or in a coma or otherwise unable to move as every bone in his body is shattered and he bleeds internally. Good thing for him this is a cartoon, huh? (Yes, that last bit was a reference to Yugioh: The Abridged Series).
Chronos enters another room where there a bunch of cheap 60's B-movie space suits, rids himself of the chickens who are still pestering him, and puts on one of the suits, looking no stupider than he usually does. He then makes his way to a big sealed sphere and says that Judai has left him with no choice but to open Pandora's Box. Let me guess, there's an army of Dueling Aardvarks in there? Hey, with this show, I wouldn't put it past them. He opens it up and orders its occupant to come out, all while continuing with a very short and trite summation of the story of Pandora's Box. The original series did it better, but then again, the original was better in every way.
Judai, bizarrely enough, is actually acting nervous as he pours over his deck and wondering what he should keep and what he should switch out. Also, for some reason he's doing this in the classroom, as opposed to his own room, where he usually does this sort of thing. GEE, I WONDER IF THIS IS A PLOT DEVICE TO FACILITATE A LATER DEVELOPMENT FOR NO GOOD REASON? Then Judai's friends show up and want him to switch in their cards into his deck: Misawa goes for Water Dragon, Asuka Etoile Cyber, Hayato Death Koala, and Shou Power Bond. None of these cards are at all compatible with Judai's deck, something that Judai's friends should be well aware of, and they should know better then to pester Judai about this, but hey, no doubt that this Out Of Character behavior will also prove to be a plot device necessary for this terrible episode to proceed the way the writers want it to.
Judai becomes irritated, Misawa says they just want to help him since he's dueling for the prestige of Duel Academia, and Judai says he's just dueling to have some fun. Basically, everyone in this scene is, if they weren't already a selfish little prick (Judai), turned into one. Judai runs, everyone gives chase, and this scene is thoroughly unfunny. Judai makes it to the roof of Duel Academia in order to get away from them, and there he runs into some kid with an Obelisk Blue coat draped over his shoulders. Judai wonders what he's doing in his super-hidden hideout (dude, it's the freaking school rooftop; nothing hidden about it!), and our weird kid says it's because the weather is great. He says that in watching the shining sun and fluffy clouds, it makes you feel like doing nothing at all...then Winged Kuriboh appears for no apparent reason. Oh, and it seems like Lazy Boy can see Winged Kuriboh. That seems kind of random. Then Lazy Boy asks if he's talking to Juday Yuki, Judai wonders how he knows his name, and Lazy Boy gives out his name, Mokeo Motegi. Oh, and he wants to duel.
Of course; no doubt he is the secret weapon that Professor Chronos was talking about earlier. Gee, I wonder if any of my blood vessels will erupt in a big cranial explosion before this episode is over?
Judai is confused by Motegi's weird behavior, and Motegi says he's always wanted to duel someone who could see Duel Spirits. Judai, being an unsuspecting moron, accepts the challenge. Then Shou and the others arrive, Judai grouses about this being his secret hiding spot, and Shou points out that he's always going there when he skips class. HOW THE FUCK IS JUDAI STILL IN DUEL ACADEMIA? DO GRADES AND ATTENDANCE COUNT FOR NOTHING? OBVIOUSLY, WE WOULDN'T WANT OUR YOUNG AUDIENCE TO APPLY THEMSELVES IN SCHOOL AFTER ALL, THAT WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!
And now we see Professor Chronos watching the whole thing from atop a great big pillar, praising himself for waiting there; yes, even Professor Chronos knows that this is where Judai goes to skip class. JUDAI, YOU SUCK, AND SO DOES YOUR DECK! So the duel between Judai and Motegi begins, Motegi goes first and summons Moke Moke, a normal level one angel monster that all of Judai's friends think is just so damn cute. They all go on about how they don't have a care in the world, they feel so warm and fuzzy on the inside, and drowsy, all from looking at that little weakling for about two seconds. Woo. Chronos cackles as Motegi sets two cards, ending his turn.
Judai takes his turn and summons Sparkman. Then he plays Fusion to summon Flame Wingman, and asks what Motegi thinks of his favorite card, and Motegi applauds. Not quite what Judai was going for...whatever. Judai attacks with Sparkman, and Motegi activates his trap card Human-Wave Tactics; during the endphase of each turn, Motegi can special summon from his deck a number of level two or lower normal monsters, equal to the number of level two or lower monsters that were destroyed in battle on that turn. Sparkman destroys Moke Moke, and Flame Wingman attacks directly for 2100 points of damage, and during the endphase Motegi uses Human-Wave Tactics to special summon Happy Lover. Motegi then summons another Moke Moke, and all of Judai's friends squee about how cute it is. Chronos is pleased, and Motegi activates from his hand the permanent spell card Angered Moke Moke, and attacks Sparkman with Happy Lover. Judai is confused, but Motegi knows what he's doing; Happy Lover is destroyed for 800 points of damage, Moke Moke is pissed! Again, all of Judai's friends think this is so adorable.
Frankly, it just makes me want to punch a baby.
Yes, so long as Angered Moke Moke is on the field, whenever an Angel Type monster is destroyed, all Moke Mokes on the field have their attack power raised to 3000 until the end of the turn. Judai's friends applaud like idiots, and Judai demands to know who they're rooting for, and I'm glad that I made sure there were no sharp objects near me when I started watching this episode. Misawa says they're rooting for...whoever, and Judai face-faults, and not even Judai's pain is enough to make this episode any better. Motegi then declares his attack with Moke Moke, targeting Flame Wingman for 900 points of damage, and Judai's friends are sitting down and reduced to chanting 'Moke Moke' like a bunch of brain washed cultists. Only not as fun. Then Motegi activates his spell card Mystic Wok, sacrificing a monster on his side of the field and recovering life points equal to the better of its attack or defense power, so he sacrifices Moke Moke, recovers three thousand life points, and then uses Human-Wave Tactics to special summon Haniwa in defense position.
Misawa then pipes up, suggesting that Judai not try his best, like that would make any difference. Asuka says he should go with peace, not fighting. Shou says that they should be like the Moke Moke, and they all start chanting, except for Hayato, who is fast asleep. Geez, they really couldn't be bothered to come up with lines for him this episode, could they? And Chronos cackles with glee as he proclaims that Motegi's frightening power has started to take effect! Oh noes, what ever will Judai do?
EYCATCH!
More annoying chanting, Judai is confused, and Professor Chronos yells out that it's the "Ke" in "Moke", which I'm pretty sure would mean something if I spoke Japanese, but as it stands I am still in the dark. Professor Chronos leaps down, uses a jet pack to smoothly descend, and asks if Judai is surprised; dude, after the Dueling Monkey episode, nothing can surprise me. I mean, there could be an episode about...I don't know, a dueling werewolf or something, and I wouldn't be surprised.
...where is that mocking, derisive laughter coming from?
Anyway, Professor Chronos explains about Motegi's Exhaustion Dueling; three years ago Motegi was Duel Academia's number one duelist, able to read his opponents strategies and face-down cards with ease. However, one day, for no apparent reason, his dueling changed and everyone who dueled Motegi lost all motivation and left the island. Judai looks over at his friends, and Motegi admits that he has no idea why his Moke Moke has that effect on people. Anyway, becoming aware of the situation with Motegi, Duel Academia did the only reasonable thing; they constructed an elaborate luxury cell at great expense and locked him up inside it, isolating Motegi from all human contact.

BROOKLYN RAGE! BROOKLYN RAGE! BROOKLYN RAGE! BROOKLYN RAGE! BROOKLYN RAGE! EGYPTIAN RAGE! EGYPTIAN RAGE! EGYPTIAN RAGE! EGYPTIAN RAGE! EGYPTIAN RAGE! ADAMANTIUM RAGE! ADAMANTIUM RAGE!

THIS IS HORRIBAFUCKUS! THIS IS HORRIBAFUCKUS! THIS IS HORRIBAFUCKUS! THIS IS HORRIBAFUCKUS!

Seriously, do I need to go into all the ways that that was just fucking horrifying in its stupidity? Like how there's no explanation ever provided for why Motegi has this ability, how the hell Duel Academia could have the kind of money to engage in yet another elaborate cover up, or what the hell they told the kid's parents, assuming he even has any? And why does it seem like the writers think that trying to write comedy means writing stupid, nonsensical shit that makes no sense? Clearly these people were watching Excel Sage and FLCL, and completely missed the fucking point, like they always do.
And while Judai does regard this as horrible, he is not nearly so outraged as he should be, and then demands to know why Motegi was brought out like this, since he didn't want to duel. Motegi says that when Professor Chronos told him about Judai he "got some kind of premonition", because an actual motivation would be too hard for these writers to come up with. Then he says he wants to release Judai's cute dueling spirit from dueling, saying that the spirits are happier that way. Judai says Winged Kuriboh is excited by the dueling, and then Judai suddenly takes his turn; he summons Wildman, destroys Haniwa, and attacks directly for 1600 points of damage. Then he sets a card to end his turn.
Motegi uses Human-Wave Tactics to special summon another Happy Lover, and Chronos starts flailing around as he realizes that Judai is still full of motivation. He demands to know why Judai hasn't become like the rest of his friends, who are fast asleep, but he gets no answer as Motegi takes his turn. Motegi plays Pot of Greed, draws two cards, then activates Dark Factory of Mass Production; with this, he can return two normal monsters in his grave to his hand, so he adds both Moke Mokes back to his hand. Then he plays Fusion, because just about everyone in this series uses Fusion so that the duels can be even more repetitive than usual, and fuses the three Moke Mokes into King Moke Moke, which is roughly the size of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
He orders King Moke Moke to attack Wildman, which seems a bit weird since King Moke Moke has only 300 attack points, considering its colossal size and the fact that size normally corresponds to power, but when its destroyed for 1200 points of damage, its effect activates, special summoning all three Moke Mokes in the grave back to the field. All three Moke Mokes cry out as one, causing the plastic shell of Chronos's cheap space suit to shatter, but no effect whatsoever on Judai. Motegi has Happy Lover attack Wildman, and while he takes 700 points of damage, Angered Moke Moke does its thing, raising the attack power of all three Moke Mokes to 3000 points. He attacks Wildman and destroys it for 1500 points of damage, then he attacks Sparkman but Judai activates Hero Barrier to negate the attack, and then the final Moke Moke attacks for 1400 points of damage. Motegi uses Human-Wave Tactics to summon a third Happy Lover in defense position, and then activates his trap card Holy Elf's Blessing, AKA Gift of the Mystical Elf, raising his life points by 300 for every monster on the field; why he didn't activate this when Judai had both of his monsters on the field so he'd be able to gain another 600 life points, I don't know.
Oh wait, I do; otherwise, Judai wouldn't be able to win!
Motegi tells Judai that he should just relax, but Judai bravely soldiers the fuck on, summoning Bubbleman. Motegi wonders how Judai is still able to have motivation, and Judai says, 'isn't it obvious? I'm having fun!', and I want to stab Judai is fucking smarmy little face so goddamn much. This isn't charming, it's just fucking tedious and annoying. Really, did we need an entire episode to remind that Judai is just so goddamn specialer and betterer and sparklier than everyone else ever? Anyway, Judai draws two cards with Bubbleman's bullshit effect, then he plays Hero Heart, another ridiculously terrible, situational card; he cuts an Elemental Hero's attack power in half, but now that monster can attack directly. Yeah, you try to use that sort of card in a serious duel, see how far you get with it.
Judai attacks one of the Moke Moke with Bubbleman, destroying it for 100 points of damage. Angered Moke Moke activates, raising the rest to 3000 attack points. Judai then has Bubbleman attack a second Moke Moke, and then he activates his second bullshit card, Bubble Illusion; with Bubbleman on the field, Judai can now activate a Trap Card from his hand, so he activates Mirror Gate, switching control of Moke Moke and Bubbleman.
Fun fact, in the real card game, Mirror Gate only activates when your opponent attacks, not when you attack. Writers, you're doing a bang-up job of advertising this card game!
And so as Judai uses Moke Moke to destroy his own weakened Bubbleman, Motegi thinks that Moke Moke is really letting out its motivation! I don't care! Judai wins, blah blah blah, dueling sure is fun, blah blah blah, and Motegi takes a nap. Judai is the only one left awake, and we pan up to the clouds, seeing three of them in the shapes of Moke Mokes taking a nap. And this episode comes to a painful, miserable end.
NEXT TIME! Hey, do you remember that Manjoume guy? No? Well, one of the writers realized that they really should get back to him. EPISODE TITLE, REVIVAL! MANJOUME THUNDER! It's a word play, nothing worth getting into right now.
Well, that was fucking horrifying. Fortunately, it will take the writers a little while to do something that goddamn stupid again. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to train myself to punch people through the internet, so I might be able to punch the writers in their stupid fucking faces.
