I actually like how Cronos' personality has changed since the first season. He's now a pretty enjoyable character.

Yeah well most of the characters weren't shown that much in the previous seasons, or didn't get much chance to shine. So it won't be as sad as it could be.

LOL! the nostalgic Chronos, crying and shouting "Mama mia!". Chronos is definitely the character who developed the most since the start of the series. It's almost tied with Karen for the first place in the best character competition I just created.

Awww, this was so sad! I really like how Chronos has warmed up over the series. Very nice throwback to the first episode.

I also don't want them to graduate, but they have their lives to live and I have 5Ds to watch ;-;

Drop Out Boy, there's a term that hasn't been used in awhile. That was a good one.

That was a really great episode. Felt so nostalgic.

This hit in the feels in a weird way. Well, soon it's time to say goodbye.

Man Chronos become such a great teacher. Within the last couple of episodes he really did a lot to support his students which proves how much he cares.

Also quite nostalgic to see a duel between Judai and him. And I'm glad that they're using the Judai theme again on a regular basis.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

This episode is everything I was hoping for season 4 to be when it came to being a swan song for the cast. What a wonderful callback to episode 1 that shows how far Jaden and Crowler have both come. And here I thought GX peaked in the last 3 episodes of season 1. Looks like S4 as of episode 165 has started to give them a run for their money.

Nooo baby mushroom Judai, look at that old hair :(

I'll admit I never paid too much attention to Chronos but it's great he grew to care about his students and change his ways.

It was a good episode for both my favorite characters in this series, Judai and Chronos. I do love how chronos develop from a shitty teacher to best teacher at this point.

Pretty much enjoyable episode.
Watch aria the animation and it's sequel.

I really liked Cronos's progression, they went from a detestable character from a loveable one. That was such a nostalgic episode, I almost cried Cronos sure love their students.

I guess that since I'm not easily swayed by nostalgia, I didn't really like how the last turn of this duel was exactly like Judai's first duel against Chronos in episode 1. Other than that I thought it was sweet that Chronos cared so much about the graduating class that he was willing to hold them back a year. Sure it was unreasonable and selfish, but still kinda endearing.

How does Cronos cancelling classes cause the students to not get enough credits? I'd figure you'd only lose credits if you flunk the class via low scores, excessive absences, or breaking particular rules. The instructor cancelling classes shouldn't affect anything. Rather, Cronos himself should have incurred some consequence for cancelling his classes so much, especially if it results in the flunking of multiple students from presumedly prestigious families. But yeah, anime nonsense, what have you.

It's still nice seeing Judai and Cronos going full circle, recalling their duel from the very first GX episode. It's also nice seeing Cronos show so much love and affection for his students, misguided as his actions may be.

I'm not crying, I'm not crying... you are crying. :'(

Man, how different Chronos-sensei is now compared to the beginning of the anime. He's so likable right now. I love his deck!

Okay, this is it. This is easily one of the best duels in GX, hands down.

The mirror between their first duel- the first episode- was so hype, summoning Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem- the ace of my own deck I run in MD and DL - everything about this is amazing.
