[@Zelnyair]

Mystical Space Typhoon was activated, Imperial Order was activated in response, and Scapegoat was chained to it. Quick-Play Spell cards and Continuous (and regular) Trap cards are both Spell Speed 2. Because it's Spell Speed 2, you have to respond with cards that are Spell Speed 2 or higher. Chains resolve backwards from the last card. Scapegoat resolves and summons its tokens, then Imperial Order negates Spells on the field, and then because Imperial Order resolves before Mystical Space Typhoon, MST gets negated. At least, I think it works something like that. I'm still kind of confused to be honest. Not gonna lie, I have no idea how something like Destiny Hero Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer works with this, because its effect lets it pop two cards simultaneously. I don't know how it works with two potential effects going off at the same time, or if negating the destruction of one target protects the other target, and so on :P

All the cards were Spell Speed 2, because you can't activate cards in a chain with a lower Spell Speed than the last one.

Fr most abridgers gave up for various reasons about a decade ago, and the ones who continued either burnt out or had picked a much shorter anime to abridged (Hellsing Abridged for ex.) It’ll be exciting to see the first and longest running abridge series to complete their show!

Yugi explaining the rules perfectly represents what happens when a duelist tries to read their cards.

[@Vegas242]

The Bechduel test, also known as the Bechduel-Wallace test, is a measure of the representation of women in Yu Gi Oh and other fiction. The test asks whether a work features at least two women who duel each other about something other than a man.

[@azrael5839]

I actually did not get the reference until I saw this comment so honestly thank you lol

[@Vegas242]

​@@azrael5839Sadly, in the end it's debatable whether this episode passes the Bechduel test, as on one hand they were dueling because it was a tournament but on the other they clearly were dueling over a man. (Also I'm glad I could help 😆)

They are duelling for an underage child so I think they've passed the test.

Akiza vs Misty in the Dark Signers arc (5D’s) 3. Zuzu vs Julia in early Arc-V 4. Zuzu vs Julia R2 in the Junior Arc League Championship (Arc-V) 5. Blue Angle vs Baria in the Hanoi arc (VRAINS) In both GX and Zexal there are no girl vs girl duels. The closest we see being in tag duels, Alexis and Jaden vs Hasselberry and Blair, and Yuma and Anna vs that pro dueling couple.
