I think they should have allowed Aster to win against Sartorius. He would then get possessed by the Light, have his tiebreaker with Jaden, lose, and the Light would jump at Jaden, trying to possess him too, but it dies inside him, foreshadowing that he is the wielder of the Gentle Darkness

That would've been perfect honestly.

My favourite gx character. If only they allowed him to take out Sartorious teamed up with Jaden. Oh well, gx was a one man show anyway.

I would’ve loved that honestly! Aster would have played a bigger hand in saving his friend!

This is one of the few times we get to see a mirror match or a deck that has similarities to someone else. I love Ying Yang duels. While Jaden plays Heroes for the fun of the game, Aster plays with a vengeance and their Heroes suit them perfectly

They did such a great job showing the differences between Jaden and Aster.

Honestly of all GX characters Aster felt like he actually had a conclusion, granted not a perfect one but somewhat good, he participates in the second half of season 3 (although where the hell was he on the first half?) and even though he didn't won he put up a good fight against Adrian and died like a champion and when revived he taught Chazz the worst lesson to a rich kid introducing him to a 9 to 5 job which makes Chazz understand that going pro means that he needs to go 100% and the fact that he basically duels until he bleeds because: "I don't have powers like Jaden or Chazz so I must compensate somehow" is amazing although weird considering in the filler he actually saw the Monarchs spirits but eh, whatever that said I would've love to see Aster being more engaged in season 4 since he would fit perfectly after all, He could have battled Sartorius, you know his best friend but with what we got, we could have gotten way worse

That’s how I feel. His conclusion felt so much more natural than most of the other characters.

He deserved better, after the second season he disappears, he only comes out in the middle of the third season, and in the fourth season he is the tutorial for Chazz. One more duel with Jaden would have been nice, and more when he was supposed to have new cards and with them he could give Jaden a smile as well as Jaden did with Astro back in the day. That was the weird thing too, why are you going to give him new and powerful cards if he's going to lose every duel? I would have loved to have seen him in the Darkness arc.... (Sartorios don't say a single word about him, only his sister). And more so considering how dark his life is. If what happened with Axel was dark enough, with Astro? Uff. But I think it would have given a good closure to his character. But hey, another one of the victims of being forgotten in favor of Jaden or for the short chapters of season 4.

He sure did. I wish he had either dueled and defeated Sartorius in season four instead of Jaden or that Jaden had a graduation match where he picked Aster for his opponent and Aster defeats him. Aster had already been supposed to have a rematch with Jaden before Destiny End Dragoon got stolen. It's sad that he was cheated out of that and wasn't even in the graduation scene, yet they thought the filler episode characters like the copycat guy were important enough to show there. It made no sense. 😥

Yeah season 3 is definitely flawed for how it treats some..okay most of the cast.

Something i dont know if was intentional but neat to think about is destiny heroes are based on British culture while elemental heroes are based on American comic books. I wonder if they got the idea of british anti heroes and how aster doesn't see dueling as just being for fun from how alot british authors would often take or make more dark and nuanced stories in comic books

His soul was. The body was not. They probably already buried/burned his body at that time so it seems pretty dead to me.

Season 2 Aster was great and was a great foil for both Jaden and Sartorious. But ROS Aster...not so much.

@raina1848 Ай бұрын

It was a good video, although maybe not quite as much sub version focus as I'd like, but there was still enough to make it stand out better. You made a good point about him relating to Echo due to him knowing what it's like to be manipulated. And his "death" in season three in the dub was a rare case where I liked the line better about him saying they are his friends. In the sub, he (and Zane when he "dies") just only focuses on Jaden. As for the only other better thing looking at it one way for Aster is season four never happening. I don't agree with you about "his" arc in it. It's because of how it's done. First, Chazz shouldn't even have been denied by the registration in the first place for the Pro Leagues since he had things that could have qualified him for entry on a resume already: winning the Genex tournament where a lot of pros participated, doing well at two duel academies including defeating the headmaster and every student at North Academy. Second, how tf did they have time to keep traveling around the world near the end of their last year of high school? Wasn't it time to graduate a long time ago? Xd And last, it sort of defeats the whole purpose of showing how hard Aster trains for the pros and everything he does for it he's gotten used to for awhile now along with everything he's done on the show (D.D. was technically world champion even, so Aster even bested that title) when Chazz-who they really don't show us that he's learning anything more about dueling during all this and is just really Aster's servant, and had not really anything of note for seasons besides getting brainwashed or "dying" for long periods of time-can just suddenly be better than all that without going through even half of what Aster did. If they had changed these episodes to not make them into a joke with Mike and show us Chazz actually learning things and still made Aster have an episode or two that was actually about him where he can defeat someone else, then it would have made more sense for him to lose to Chazz. You can't have character development without the actual development, and it was awful that Aster was only used for fodder in season four and didn't have a proper ending. He deserved way better than that and how Arc-V treated him.

Season 4 was kind of a mess for everyone. Makes me wonder what in the world they would've done if they had gotten the amount of time and episodes as the other seasons.
