Anyone else wondering why Arisa let Tomotsu keep the mega rare hermit card he got from a pack of cards she bought?

I'm a big Yu-gi-oh! fan. Watched up to 5Ds and built crap loads of different decks. This whole episode was spot on in summarizing pretty much all the duels of the anime series. They even got the current YGO rules down.

I was clapping and laughing throughout the duel. The hair, the 2000 life points, the hot guy card, the viewpoint of Mayo, the effect disabling, the hermit card, Tamotsu surviving with 100 LP left, the special effect of the wizard card. Everything.

My favorite episode by far in Akiba. They've been on a roll since last episode, so I hope they are able to finish strong, but I doubt it. I found the series meh overall before the episode 8

Oddly enough i remember the "secondary effect" shit... I only played in elementary school, but it was a thing that everyone knew about even though it wasn't written... Some of them were pretty OP.

Well all Yu Gi Oh fans need to see this episode, I am a big fan of Yu Gi Oh but mainly for the stories, but when it comes to the games I can relate Mayo, something just don't make sense.

I love how they make fun of all the illusions not actually being there, and is just me or did Niwaka not have nay lines in this episode.


She had some lines before the 8 minute mark

The references <3

lol, yugioh/mtg episode, I certainly didn't expected this :D And I kinda enjoyed it. Pretty funny how they even changed the animation to oldschool, did half-ep recap and introduced girl that destroys the group story.

This was a good one.

I decided only to watch this anime because I saw some memes from this episode being thrown from time to time in Yu-Gi-Oh! community, but OH BOY. I seriously didn't expect that much quality content, maybe some scenes, but that episode was just a perfect parody! I loved every little reference, both to the anime and card game itself, it seems someone who was in charge of this episode is a huuuge fan lol

Already watched it two times and definitely gonna watch again 10/10

Probably the best episode in the show. For those who didn't watch the dub, the villain in this episode referred to Tamotsu as Tamotsu-boy just like Pegasus would with Yugi and for me it was a cherry on top of the rest of the parody.

Really good episode. They nailed the card game anime trope quite well.

I really enjoyed the Yu-Gi-Oh references, also Trump vs Clinton was a great view xD
But Arisa, oh boy... she's such a perfect character for some amazing fanservice scenes, but they rarely use her *sigh*

Hey, that was spot on! Reminds me of those yu-gi-oh episodes I used to watch  a fair while ago.

Pretty sure I saw ichiraku ramen in the next Ep preview, should be fun for a Narutotard like me xD.
