5D's, what are you

[olesia]

I didn't actually watch this most recent episode of 5D's yet, and instead skimmed 2chan for out-of-context screen caps.

My world was shattered. Something very pivotal in my heart cracked and died.

THE MAIN CHARACTER

HAD A GUN.



LET ME SAY THIS AGAIN:

THE MAIN CHARACTER
OF A SERIES FOCUSED ON CARD GAMES
PACKING HEAT.




AND FOR THE RECORD: THIS SERIES IS NOT A WESTERN.





SO

I WAS PANICKED. CONFUSED. WONDERING WHERE THE SPIRIT THAT VIOLENCE WAS NOT THE ANSWER WENT. UNSURE WHAT THIS MEANT FOR THE FUTURE OF THE SERIES.







and then I learned that

the guns were for playing card games on












OH 5D'S

TANK GIRL HAS EVERY RIGHT TO HATE YOUR UNIVERSE.



NEVER CHANGE.

[olesia]

WELL COME TO CRASH TOWN, BOY.



I DON'T EVEN WHAT THIS ARC LASTS UNTIL JANUARY

[penurium.livejournal.com]

what


it will still be edited out somehow.

just watch. Just like in the old series with the random FINGER POINTING YOU KNOW THERE SHOULD BE A GUN HERE

[olesia]

LASER GUN DUEL DISKS.





actually I think 4Kids dropped the series period in favor of just playing original series YuGiOh re-runs.

[tracing.livejournal.com]

LOOOOOLLL DID THEY REALLY DO THAT OH MAN you gotta love 4kids

[tracing.livejournal.com]

guns don't exist in the real world

>:(

[olesia]

hey you never know crabhead might be really popular in crash town

(frozen comment)

[emeralddarkness.livejournal.com]

I still say there's no way that works for a disguise.

[olesia]

HEY YOU JERK

(frozen comment)

[emeralddarkness.livejournal.com]

hey now that's not nice

[olesia]

NEVER SAID I WAS NICE

[notsoloyal]

...

i want one

[olesia]

...

tell cal to canon-update. The last image is Kiryu's. (he also has a harmonica)

[shiromadoushi]

Just... this face.

Phhhht duel disc gun. what. I'm just trying to think of what sort of fever dream they're in that this is going on :D

[olesia]

... Fran this is YuGiOh.

This is the real life.

[tracing.livejournal.com]

hey I have a question I'm not sure you'll be able to answer

in the yugioh fandom, is everyone usually fans of all the series?

or do the fans divide by series?

[olesia]

There's a lot of division. There's the "DM (Original Series) Elitists," who have every sequel and spin-off on principle that it doesn't include Insert Yaoibait of Choice Here Yuugi / The Main Characters / Wasn't Written by Takahashi. They tend to hate GX, 5D's, ignore R and frequently the movies, and stare with loathing at the Abridged Series for ruining the fandom with "My Hair" jokes.

GXers tend to be pretty chill, since theirs is the series that gets the most hate. Some like 5D's, some don't, but they're the ones that go "We have dinosaurs punching satellites, we can't take anything seriously."

5D's fans are a mixed bag — some HATE GX, some love it, and some are secretly ashamed (or not) that they like 5D's more than DM, which is SACRILEGE or something.

Then there's TAS fans who are their own brand of crazy.





I'm pretty sure the fandom will implode with hatred once the crossover movie comes out.

[hellcommander.livejournal.com]

I STILL CAN"T GET OVER THE FACT THAT THEY STOLE SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG'S HAIRSTYLE FOR THIS CHARACTER OK

[olesia]

ONE OF HIS MAIN MONSTERS IS "BOLT HEDGEHOG."

THEY ARE JUST AS AWARE OF THIS AS YOU ARE.

[lunais-cross.livejournal.com]

Man, talk about attacking your opponent's life points directly. :/

[hackeralastair]

THIS COMMENT WINS THE INTERNETS

[wolfofmibu]

THERE WAS ALSO A SHITTON OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION IN THIS EPISODE

I AM LAUGHING MY ASS OF AT 4KIDS' FACES RIGHT NOW

[olesia]

I NOTICED ONE SHOT OF A BOTTLE AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE SHOT GLASSES AT A BAR NEXT WEEK.



MAN KIRYU SURE LIKES BEING AN ALCOHOLIC WOMAN?

i just

yes

[cheezdanish.livejournal.com]

[allthecards]

A Duel Disk gun?! That is the stupidest thing I've ever seen XD

This is making me want to watch 5Ds just to see how they explain that one XDD

[hackeralastair]

Makes the motorcycles look sane, doesn't it?

[liadrin.livejournal.com]

Yo dawg I heard you like guns, so I put your cards on your gun so you can gun while you duel.

[iceburgundy.livejournal.com]

The real question is, what would 5D's be like if it WAS a Western?

[satisfiedsigner]

THIS EPISODE

only with real guns

[hackeralastair]

...

......

Suddenly, saving the world from a giant snake due to the power of light in our hearts in a way that would make Sailor Moon go "dude, that's cheesy" DOES NOT LOOK SO BAD NOW DOES IT


nice poncho Yuusei

[olesia]

I LOVE HIS TERRIBLE ATTEMPTS AT A DISGUISE DO NOT INCLUDE A HAT.

[xepitaph.livejournal.com]

I AM LAUGHING WAY TOO HARD RIGHT NOW

[satisfiedsigner]

OLESIA NO ONE NEEDS TO PROD ME INTO UPDATING I'm already seriously considering it okay

Also, this was the best episode of the season (besides Ruka & creepy ghosts).

Also, I'm pretty sure it's impossible for Kiryu to be anything but badass unless he's in jail or something

Also I LOVE THIS SHOW

and 5D's stole the gun/duel disk idea from GX, they kind of did it first and better

[hackeralastair]

Does this mean we get pretty!Kiryu? I mean prettier!Kiryu? XD

Pretty much this

[miraclefusion.livejournal.com]

O'BRIEN DID IT BEFORE AND DID IT BETTER.

His disk fires cards as projectiles! BUT WE HAVE YET TO SEE THESE FIRE ANYTHING. 8U

[olesia]

Pics or it didn't happen

[grenadeball.livejournal.com]

just a whole murderspree, baby

future card game japan getting reintroduced to the whole concept of bullets

[olesia]

I still really want the creator of the game to show up in C&C.

... and to be fair the one time there were characters who used guns that actually shot bullets/lasers in 5D's, they were killed/eaten by a giant spider.
