Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Movie: Chou Yuugou! Toki wo Koeta Kizuna

While riding with Jack Atlas and Crow Hogan, Yuusei Fudou's Stardust Dragon is captured by Paradox, a mysterious Turbo Duelist from the future, during a Turbo Duel and turned into a Sin Monster. With the help of the Crimson Dragon, Yuusei chases after Paradox as he enters a time slip, ending up in the past. During this time, Paradox duels against Jaden Yuki, who is still able to use the powers of Yubel and The Supreme King. However, by this time Paradox had also captured Cyber End Dragon and Rainbow Dragon and overwhelms Jaden. He is saved thanks to Yuusei and the Crimson Dragon. Jaden informs Yuusei of Paradox's true intentions. By stealing various monsters from across time and turning them dark, he plans to kill Maximillion Pegasus, the creator of Duel Monsters, preventing the game from being created and causing the events of all three series to never happen.

Yuusei and Jaden agree to pursue Paradox, which leads them to the past and causes a meeting with the King of Games, Yuugi Mutou. However, by the time Yuusei and Jaden arrive, Paradox had already attacked his time, supposedly killing both Pegasus and Yuugi's grandpa, and had also managed to steal Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon. After explaining everything to Yuugi, he agrees to fight with Yuusei and Jaden against Paradox in the ultimate three-on-one duel to free the trapped monsters and save both the world and time itself before it's too late.

All right, I'll admit it: my nostalgia/eagerness got away from me. I've got 2 more episodes of GX, but I'm familiar enough with 5Ds that I skipped right to the Bonds Beyond Time movie. I just couldn't fathom putting it off throughout another 150+ episodes. So here we are.

On one hand, this movie was everything I wanted it to be. It's Yu-Gi-Oh! I'm here for world destruction via card games, a little angst and darkness, and the cheesiest of friendship speeches. And it delivers on that.

But on the other hand, I can't deny that this movie felt... rushed. And I just can't fathom why. ... Or rather, how it found itself in that position. This is the big, celebratory, 10th anniversary movie where we get to see the first three main protagonists band together and overcome some great threat. It ought to be epic and moving, and to an extent, I did feel that. But any scene that wasn't directly related to setting up the story-- or the actual duel-- was zipped through. Not that a part of me didn't enjoy seeing our three heroes become instant, effortless bros, but you're telling me they didn't have the budget to pad out the scenes that really gave this movie heart? I mean, this movie isn't even an hour long. And the few lines Yusei has about having hope for the future just felt... obligatory? Like the writers got through the bare basics for the movie and then were like, "Oh shit, guys, do you think we should have some sort of moral?" That final scene with Yusei returning home really felt like it was tacked on as an afterthought.

Don't get me wrong, I did really enjoy the experience, but it felt a little lacking. (Actually, in hindsight, given how much of the focus was on Yusei and his Stardust Dragon specifically, this really felt like more of a 5Ds movie than a movie meant to represent all three seasons.)

Mixed Feelings

I found this movie enjoyable. The crossovers were entertaining, but that was the film's only redeeming quality. The plot was weak, and felt like it was thrown together in a hurry. I would only recommend this movie to die-hard YuGiOh fans, as it was sometimes cringeworthy to watch.

The movie's plot is simple and intriguing. A mysterious character from the future travels back in time to kill Pegasus and erase the Duel Monsters card game from history. To prevent this, our three heroes from different series must team up and save their beloved card game. The biggest issue is the numerous plot holes, especially those related ... to time travel. These plot holes were so distracting that they took me out of the story. Overall, the plot was poorly executed and didn't make much sense.

The movie mainly focuses on the Yu-Gi-Oh 5D universe, with a few appearances from characters in the original series and GX. However, the movie could have been more complex if it had included more characters. Unfortunately, the focus was only on four main characters, including the villain, who was one-dimensional and uninteresting. His backstory was almost non-existent, and the reasons for his attack on Pegasus were weak. The main characters were their usual selves, but Jaden felt out of place and randomly thrown in. They constantly made comments about friendship, being best buds, and their love of the children's card game, which became ridiculous. The dialogue was terrible.

Overall, the movie had many problems. Nonetheless, it was entertaining. I wish it were better.

Everything I remember about the series: campy as hell and really overdramatic. It was a nice thing to watch for nostalgia's sake, but it wasn't worth it to print it as a DVD/Blu Ray release (even the $5 I paid at Walmart for it was too much.) This should have been a TV special and left at that. I should mention that I am not the world's biggest Yugioh fan, but even I would think that having 3 of the most popular protagonists from the series history would have resulted in a more epic final battle. I think what really drags this down was because ... we have seen so much weird or mind-boggling stuff coming out of Yugioh before we take a lot to be shocked and impressed.
