So we finally saw the first (dubbed) episode of 5Ds, the dystopian-future-tron-duelingtron-Yu-Gi-Oh.
Yusei has Tristan's second voice. Which is awesome. It's also really funny that everyone calls him "Yuse." Like Joey's "Yuge" for Yugi but bizarrely more effeminate. (If we slashed them, Yusei would totally be Yugi's uke. XDDDD YES LITTLE YUGI. He'd be in his thirties or so by now, though, so it'd be weird.)
Jack Atlas's voice is hilarious.
Jack: Ah'ma fake Aw-ssey! Ah'm sucha fake Aw-ssey yure HAID'll asplode!!!
Riding dueling is now "Turbo Dueling," which I'm sure certain lucky folks knew already. All I gotta say is, "It sure sounds less stupid to be the Champion of Turbo Duels than the King of Riding Duels." That and less...........
Less sexually charged. :P
Speaking of which I'm kind of relieved at which song they ended up with. That's probably the least homoerotic one the kids could've voted for.
Little brother (who is seven) had a real problem with that, btw. He kept going "No, YUGI is the king!"
Yukai says he loves this series, which is no surprise.
Also, "Trudge," the cop who is actually Ushio (yes that Ushio) has Dan Green as a voice actor, which is absolutely hilarious because he sounds like a very cranky Atem.
And my final part of this post is actually a wonderful SKIT regarding the opinion I've had of "riding duels" ever since they announced the idea:
Kira: So it's actually a format of Duel Monsters that encouragesOi. I'm going to have a time keeping him in line from here on out.
driving recklessly?Yukai: Yeah. Doesn't it ROCK?
Final analysis? Better than GX. Still not counting it in my continuity regarding YnY because GX messes like hell with the timelines and continuity and 5Ds supposedly takes place in its universe.
That and it's way too close to YnY's actual time period for that to work. XD
