Well a nice little back story with Saiga, a totally awesome summon and finally two new green haired kids. This was a good episode.

I may say I had watched with subs (not hardsubs )from tnkp
here my full coment of it:
since I saw with the script, I could understand much better the duel and the episode it self better, so I'll make comments of it one thing and other, of what I noticed.



1st I was amazed how Yusei discovered, what happened after the crash of Yuji and card being slighly burned and Yuji risked his life, and explain every little thing. there 4 jobs he could handle pretty well, being a detective is one of them, phycologist, mechanic and work in defences agaisnt virus (I know had been hackers is now working defenses agaisnt virus and stuff). he is quite a waste, he can be quite helpfull to the society, Godwin is somewhat idiot (Godwin is the one who sorts who gonna go to satelite and Neo Domino), Yusei has many talents.

the duel was very enjoyable.

Saiga was a bit... well...fool, depends of how you define the word "friend", but oh well I love when Yusei said

Yusei Fudo, episode 12 said:
The word "friend" may indeed be phony.

But, so long as bonds exists, that's proof enough.

That's why I...

...came to get those bonds back.


is just really wow *o*, you're geting a lot of admiration from me.



now about Ushio, I guess... this episode showed me he didn't change much since had that game with Yugi -.-', I'll say why...in the manga and in Toei animation, when he was losing or did lose, didn't want to admit, and so you know, in the manga (when he was start to losing) he did go break the rules, and same happened in this episode and hurt someone else, when Turbo Warrior was with 4500 ATK, and he looked pretty insane, in most of the episode, so that's what is left with Atemu Yami no Gme and after be out of mental hospital -.-', the one thing changes on him was his greed,the rest is that he abuses of his authority.
the twins intro was best so far (can't wait to see episode 13, how Yusei will react and interact with the twins and vice-versa)
but it was quite a awesome episode.

Really, this was a wow moment. Yusei is sooo mature, I love love love him.

And finally twins!! I was so happy when they showed up.

Typical bonds of friendship prevails kind of thing, but at least he got beaten ... for the 3rd time.
Maybe he'll learn after 6 more attempts ...

Not sure who the green haired kids are, but I presume they're going to be new main char. from the MAL page.

Yusei about to fall from his bike, but managed to use a trap. Nice to see some plain old kicking and what not instead of 100% duels.

Too cool, too awesome. Yusei's shown himself to be a better protagonist these first 12 episodes than Yugi and Judai's first 12 combined imo.

Oh, so the duel is still ongoing, but of course Yusei wins.

We finally get the twins!

Yusei has jumped over Jaden to be my 2nd favorite protagonist.

And now the bike guard is 0 for 3, hopefully he gets a clue now...

Trudge = Team Rocket

And Yusei reviving the spirit in Saiga with his friendship speech.

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

I feel so bad for Ushio since he keeps getting beaten by Yusei lol. Also how big was that security warehouse building? Yusei and Ushio's duel took them through the whole building and it seemed endless lol. I wasn't really invested in the duel itself mostly because the episode was more about Saiga realizing that his partner still cared about him. At least Ruka and Rua finally debuted.

I sure would like to know how this series fits into the overall lore. There are multiple references to Kaiba Corp at this point, and so clearly this takes within the same universe. But like, when? Presumably Kaiba and Yugi are long dead though.

I can't say I was all that interested in the second rematch with Trudge. Again, I'm ready for the rest of the Signers to show up. I guess it's later than sooner though. Ah, Luna and Leo finally made an appearance at the end.

Cried again at that scene where Yusei and Saiga talk about meaning of friendship.
