Same it was actually sick! Made it feel connected to the lore unlike how zexal made me feel

[@gyppygirl2021]

I do think some of the legacy characters were handled better than others. Jack is great (as always), and - unpopular opinion - I think Alexis is better here than she is in GX. Kite and Aster, though, leave a lot to be desired (especially Aster). I like Kite's new design and the Cipher archetype, so I give him a bit more of a pass LOL

@@KingKasper So you got nostalgia baited lol. Arc-V's fan service was so over the top with the legacy characters, that it just fell over itself and ruined all of them (besides maybe Jack).

Even though the ending was sooo disappointing and the synchro dimension arc had no reason to be 50+ episodes long,I've still enjoyed watching Arc-V,it had amazing duels,Yuri was an awesome villain(even better than Vector from Zexal at some points) and the overall tone of the show was nice.My only regret is that we didn't get to see Yuto duel that much and even though the female leads in this anime are treated much much better compared to the other spin offs it was still not enough.Thanks for the video man,looking forward to your VRAINS video :)

[@shiranshee3706]

some other things i forgot to add - yuri was a much better written villain compared to zarc which is just ironic -the fact that the last 8-10 episodes of Arc-V's goal was literally to make a baby smile is just stupid and should've been treated differently.Even the Darkness arc of GX(season 4) makes more sense than this bullshit.

[@KingKasper]

Agree with all those points. I much preferred this entire series to zexal honestly! Also yes can't wait to drop it tomorrow

[@KingKasper]

LOL ya like no one gave af about baby Riley 🤣

[@Anime-Doom]

As an abridged synopsis Arc-V sounds like it should have been the best Yu-Gi-Oh series. It had so much potential in it's first couple arcs, arguably more than any previous show, but things absolutely ground to a crawl once they got to the Synchro Dimension. I honestly had to force myself to keep going with Arc-V by about halfway though that section pushed on purely by everything that had been set up previously and wanting to see how everything came together, sadly the show never managed to pick itself back up. It was such a shame that Arc-V went into such an awful decline as I adored it in the beginning but by the end I actually considered it to be my least favourite series. It's funny how ZeXal started out borderline unwatchable and turned into something incredible and then the very next series did literally the exact opposite.

[@KingKasper]

Dang sorry to hear you felt that way! I personally liked Arc-V better than zexal. 5D is in my top 3 yugioh series and synchro is my favorite summoning mechanic so I had a soft spot for the synchro dimension

[@gyppygirl2021]

​@KingKasper Honestly, I'm in the same boat. I actually started watching in season 2, entirely because I knew Jack was in the show and I wanted to see more of him (I'd just finished watching 5D's). As a result, I have a soft spot for the Synchro arc, despite its notable flaws... I can't really say the same for the worst parts of season 3 though. XD (I did go back and watch season 1 after finishing season 2!)

[@odd-eyesvon]

I was so obsessed with this show when it was out and it'll always have a place in my heart, but the ending has so many loose threads. If the last few duels were about restoring EVERYONE instead of just making Riley smile, then I could've lived with that.

[@kennyngo362]

I feel like a good way to put it is like Avatar but with Yugioh. Fusion=Fire Nation Synchro=Earth Kingdom XYZ= Air Nomads Pendulum= Water Tribe

I love Arc-V, it's my favorite Yugioh serie. You just missed the fantastic duel between Yuya and Yuri, it was incredible to watch. Also, I really dislike how the extension of the Synchro Dimension Arc, the fillers in the Academy Arc and the legacy characters ruined the show, since a lot of things was rushed at the end and we lost the duel between Yuya and his father, which is suppost to be the cerimonial duel of this show (and we even lost the duel between Yuya and Yugo in the middle of that). But even with this flaws, I still adore it and Yuya's deck is my favorite, it's the archetype that I most use in my locals 😅

So, to summarize what _Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V_ is about, it's about an entertainer/duelist and his childhood friend fighting off some great evil that threatens the multiverse with the help of their counterparts and tons of legacy characters from the previous series. Great concept for an anniversary season... if not for the fact that half of the production staff were relegated to work on _Yu-Gi-Oh!: Dark Side of Dimensions_ , head writer Tsumuto Kamishiro wasn't getting his scripts in on time near the tail end of the series (resulting in points where the animators weren't even sure what they were animating) that results in him ragequit out of the production (and even gave Konami the big "F*** You!" in his deleted Twitter account for good measure), forcing poor Katsumi Ono (the headliner of _Arc-V_ and long-time animator of the franchise from _Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's_ up until _Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS_ ) having to carry the entire series by himself which result in most of the plotlines being rushed and/or underutilized *ON TOP OF LENGTHENING THE SYNCHRO ARC FOR TOO LONG* , the much-loathed design of Zarc-Yuya reportedly came about due to an inability to finish a proper design on time, and don't get me started on the highly-polarizingly divisive ending itself. Yet, _Arc-V_ remained as one of the most memorable _Yu-Gi-Oh!_ series to date (for better or worse) as countless fanfics and stories spawned from it, seeking to rectify or even fix the series to make it satisfying for all the fans. In fact, even Konami itself knew of its divisive conclusion and decided to give _Arc-V_ the happy ending it deserves via _Yu-Gi-Oh! DUEL LINKS_ ! Overall, _Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V_ is a fun show, just a lot more underwhelming on both fronts and yet still holding a place in the hearts of many _Yu-Gi-Oh!_ fans everywhere.

I acknowledge it has issues, primarily its legacy characters taking unnecessary spotlight and it's ending not reviving the fan favorite Yu-boys and girls, among a few other things, but I still think it has some gems hidden inside it. It has some great duels, awesome characters, top-notch music, and enjoyable villains. Is it objectively the best YGO you can find? NO. But I still think there's enjoyment to be found.

I have only seen the original, GX, 5Ds, Arc-V, and bits of Zexal and VRAINS. This show was much more gimmicky like GX but it was also much better than GX. It was definitely more marketed for toys and kids than the others (most notably 5Ds which was much more serious) and I found that a bit annoying but the characters aren't bad. I really enjoy Shay and Declan's character arcs and screamed in delight when I saw Alexis and Aster again. But the ending was kinda meh and Yuya becomes just as irritating as Jaden in many duels but overall it's not bad. My order will probably stay at: Duel Monsters, 5Ds, Arc-V, and then GX until I watch some others.

[@KingKasper]

Yo great points. I have the exact same order except reverse GX and Arc-V

[@Sonadourge]

Overall good video but I feel like there's a few more key things that're cut from the story like. Like Yuto being introduced or how that he held back during the duel vs Yugo and that being why he lost, also the duel vs Yuya and Yuri which pushed him over the edge to turn into Zarc in the first place, and also how the Zarc duel was was like a 1v11 or however many it was. These seems like significant things that would be worth mentioning and overall might not even add a minute onto the video

[@Sonadourge]

I get there was already a bunch of stuff skipped as they were far less important like the youth division in the arc league championship though maybe Riley winning would be worth mentioning since it builds Riley's character early on, many other duels being skipped if they're small or not core enough make sense, but I feel like there are just some more impactful things that could've been included. Like mentioning when Riley gets introduced and that Riley wins the youth division should only take a few second, it's small but important enough to be put into the video imo

I also love Dennis and his Performages (Wish they would print out the rest of his cards or make some new cards) and last but certainly not least Yusho was absolutely amazing. His dueling definitely made me fill with wonder! All in all I love Performapals and their goofy/cute designs. Cuteness should always win lol (Said nobody ever)

Like someone else said the original director stepping away to do the dark side of dimensions movie killed this series. It was so good and promising until the xyz dimension went downhill fast and the ending was just so unsatisfying.

[@mrsticky005]

Unlike everyone else I actually didn't feel like they spent too much time in Synchro Dimension I just think XYZ and Fusion should have had their own season and maybe have a few more episodes focused on the Bracelet Girls before they become a plot device.

[@KingKasper]

That's a fair take. A lot of people hated the synchro dimension, but let's be honest. Synchro monsters were the best thing that ever happened to this game in my opinion

[@jeremiahevans6346]

Honestly i love the perfompap side of yuma instead of the dragon side, however im not saying they dobt have good moments, like requim xyz (a card which is never seen again) and odd eyes raging and rebellion dragon. Just personally love the magicans and animal performer's.

[@KingKasper]

[@TheDream6842]

I liked this show(less than Zexal II) but still it was a decent yugioh. My main problem was Yuya. I can't stand him for 2 reason: firstly, he relies too much on action cards. Without them he could have lost against Edo, The professor, Kaito and most of his other oponents. Secondly, I hated his nonsense "egao" (smile) monologue that could turn any bad guy with strong conviction into a stupid smilling good guy, seriously that was too easy.

[@KingKasper]

Ya smile was corny as hell and his deck was even cornier 🤣

[@toddcrim7012]

This season had so much potential but it lingered too long in the synchro world and gave no time to learn the story and reason behind Zarc and the zuzu. They also butchered the legacy characters and lost the chance to have all of the past protagonists to come together cannonicly to fight the rampaging yuya.

Everything was okay with Arc-V until you know all six souls of Yugo, Yuri and Yuto and Serena, Lulu and Rin merged making it impossible to see their happy ending.

[@alexsanbr]

Thanks for explaining, but still WTF I wish they didn't make the whole narrative so confusing and nonsense full of bs (they did similar in Vrains) The last YGO series with a cohesive story was Zexal (even though it had its own plot holes). Arc-V and Vrains had so much potential, and everything lacking in those series speaks volumes about the difference Kazuki made in any YGO project he was more involved with (even Dark Side of Dimensions is light-years better than Arc-V and that hurts a lot for me to type)

[@KingKasper]

[@akirakazama9662]

I don't like the english names cause it sounds cringe, in my opinion, i rather use their jp names cause it sounds cooler and it is their original name. Im fine with the english names in the duel monsters only, but from gx and onward, the jp names is better

Ya dubs usually make things a bit cheesier but I honestly don't think it's that bad

[@gyppygirl2021]

The Arc-V dub is fine in my opinion. There are a few name changes that are questionable, but others I actually prefer - I associate the name "Kurosaki" too much with Bleach, which is a series I want nothing to do with LOL I still use Yuzu's original name, but I default to dub names otherwise.

I loved a lot of Arc-V but its a shame that its pacing just became a mess, had a ton of potential but then once you get part way through the synchro dimension things just start to slow down and drag out then everything speeds way up until parts of fusion that really just feel like filler, all leading to a rushed and somewhat unsatisfying conclusion. The archetypes however are still some of my favourites across all of yugioh even to this day. DDD's, Raidraptors, superheavy samurai etc.

@@KingKasper You didn't have to call me out like that 😭 Trust me I have my reasons but let's focus on the positives. Despite having a large supporting cast they did a decent job at keeping job everyone relevant(Gx wishes) . Has a pretty strong start compared to other YGO series. Arc-v has my overall favorite designs for characters as there all unique without being over the top. As for the duels while there are certainly some misses when it hits it hits (e.g. the intensity of Shay vs Sora,Shay vs Dennis and the absolute overkill that is Yuya vs Selina and Lulu) I actually think action duels are awesome despite not liking action cards. Last but not least Sylvio is easily one of the most developed yugioh characters.
