THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Damn, looks like Rin really is fighting on the wrong side this time. Poor Yugo, she's the last person he'd ever want to face.

It's interesting to see from Reiji's point of view about Academia's plans. Meanwhile, I think the duel was alright, Rin is stronger than I had expected. Really dislike what they did to Rin, she's completely different from the person that Yugo remembered. Too bad he lost too :( his first on-screen defeat loss if I can remember.

Today's episode is...am I overreacting if I said it's heartbreaking? After that much struggle Yugo still couldn't save Rin...! (TT_TT)

Putting the Duel aside, just as Stark700 said, it's interesting to see Reiji's opinion about Academia's plan. Plus, child Yuri was so cute~! The only ones left are Yuto and Ruri. I want to see how they looked like when they were children!

After watching this episode, I don't feel so enthusiastic watching next week's episode...

Wow, Rin is merciless. And she also uses a girly deck, just like the other Yuzus, except its WIND/ice themed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't Rin have finished Yugo off sooner. On the third turn, she could've used the Synchro's effect to deal damage first and then attack with it, but instead she just attacked without using the burn effect. That's 500 more damage that turn, and Yugo had 450 LP remaining at the end, meaning that 500 more damage could've beaten him.

And WOW, judging from Reiji's explanation, and how someone already speculated somewhere, Leo's plans may actually include both the Yuzus AND the Yuyas!

Side note, the device on Leo's head looks like a Spade, perfectly tying with their family motive, Reiji having diamonds, Reira clovers, and Himika's hair being heart shaped.

Poor Yugo, gets betrayed by Rin, gets thrown out of the tower, his d-wheel gets destroyed, Rin pushes him again with such force, and then he loses the duel, first time in the series btw.

That parasite butler is a real creep, and even Leo is kinda anxious of him.

Next episode, be prepared for some Sawataris losing badly and Gongenzakas getting injured... (c'mon writers, give these guys more credit please)

Next week: GX gone serious ('cause it had all of those random thematic duels in the first/second season lol) and Obelisk Jobbers gone job more. Sanders looks like a badass villain with that moustache of his.

Academia really does anything to achieve their (Leo's) goals don't they? First they drug kids and user truth serum on 'em (Sora), and then throw some parasite into their brains to brainwash 'em. This episode was too much for my heart but I liked how it was both a Duel & and important plot episode. Revival Zero sounds pretty eerie lol. That child Yuri in the pic doe <3

Immediately after Yugo flew out & smashed onto his D-Wheel I kinda gained Yusei vibes... like I just remembered the scene where he battled Kiryu for the first time and then his D-Wheel started malfunctioning and flew out of it. :P I dunno, that scene just has been always burned into my mind!

>Lancers are nakama (or smth along the lines)
>Lancers will stay and fight together
That feels like a big flag of something going terribly wrong (considering the new spoilers as well)...

Indeed she could've, but like you said Rin was extremely merciless (even Yugo thought the same) and possibly thought, while being brainwashed, it'd be fun to torture and mindfuck Yugo. The suffering levels are increasing once more, sasuga Arc-V! :P

Rin sure is more tsuendere and violent than Yuzu and serena. looks like Rin and Ruri will be more violent than serena when they are brainwashed.i hope she and ruri will get freed from that brainwashing as soon as possible.I cant wait to see shun and ruri duel and i hope shun succeeds in saving ruri and he should win his duel against ruri

The Parasite Fusioner actually sitting on the brains of the victims is very freaky.
The part where Rin had 1000 LP left and Yugo went to celebrate Rin "returning" was heartbreaking. The part where her mouth started reciting the monster's effect made it terrifying!

Sad to see Yugo lose a duel, but it was bound to happen I suppose. His D-wheel getting destroyed was a perfect metaphor of his hopes and dreams with Rin getting shattered.

Rin broke Yugo wins streak. I am quite disapointed when a great duelist as Yugo have lost against a girl. His skill is better than hers so much.
But the duel that i am still waiting is Yugo vs Yuri.

1) What's wrong with the girls winning? Serena's deck is ridiculously strong irl, and yuzu's can pull off some really mean moves, especially with 5 honests in there.

2)Don't forget, she was also powered by Academia's cards.

Holy CRAP. I was NOT expecting Yugo to lose after he surprised Rin with Crystal Wing's second effect. Then she beat him and... wow. Shocking Duel.

And she broke their D-Wheel... That part physically hurt me. RIP Yugo and Rin's D-Wheel.

I have to agree. There are times girls can be stronger than boys you know (no offense for boys and men out there). Serena and Yuzu are actually strong Duelists in my book. The reason they were losing in recent Duels is because their opponents are simply stronger than they are (and also because of plot convenience), but it doesn't mean they are weak.

But still, I have to admit that I'm a bit disappointed that Yugo lost. I actually expected that Yugo will win and then Yuri appear and the two of them Duel, just like in the OP. I wanna see them Duel...

Speaking about Yuri, this episode makes me wondering...is there a possibility that maybe Yuri is also being controlled?

I said that because:
1. Yugo is more skillful than Rin.
2. If Yugo lost to Rin, so how does he win against Yuri - the man is higher level than Rin.
Yugo even used his level up ace monster but he lose the duel. If Yugo didn't use his ace, that would more make sense than this.
This lost made the duel between Yugo and Yuri lost some interesting air. Yugo should keep his undefeated streak until he duels with Yuri.

1. You said Yugo is more skilful than Rin, but when Yugo Dueling Serena, there's a flashback that shows Rin cornered Yugo in a Duel and tell him to just give up. The outcome is not shown, but the fact that Rin was able to corner Yugo means that Rin can be considered in par with him.

2. Against Rin's Crystal Bell's effect at that time once Crystal Wing destroyed it, I can't see a way out for Yugo to win. Plus, I know that usually the good guy (Yugo) will win against the bad guy (Yuri), but there's always a possibility that things will end up differently in the end if they Duel.

I do understand how you feel though that Yugo losing against Rin made the Duel between Yugo and Yuri lost some interesting air. But actually, I'm also starting to doubt there will be Yugo vs Yuri just like in the OP. When I saw Yugo and Yuya clash in the third OP, I thought they will Duel eventually, but it turned out they didn't...so I'm starting wonder the same thing may happen again...

also i want to add to this that the whole point of shun and ruri meeting and rin and yugo meeting was to shutter their hopes of reuniting

What an emotional episode, I felt back for poor Yugo, he is not the smartest character on the show, of the 4 male counterparts, I say he is the least intelligent, but he did figure out in the end what was up with Rin, I give him that. The way they built it up, I thought Edo was going to arrive to tell Yugo about the brainwashing, but Yugo figured it out on his own.

The method of brain washing, insects in your brain, that is so disturbing. And the mind control guy, like I thought he is the mad scientist of the group.

The part with Yuya's group, when Reji was explaining everything, I don't know I am starting to think that maybe just maybe Yuri is kind of a double agent, like Ichimaru in Bleach, just waiting and waiting for his once chance to take down the professor. Maybe not, we will see.

Next episode's, just our heroes dueling footer soldiers. Though i like the design of the leader.

That parasite in Serena's ear sure is creepy.
Rin is ruthless as hell. Didn't expect Yugo to lose, now I'm worried about Shun.
Also, the fact that Yugo didn't get carded pretty much confirm that the 4 Yuya is needed for arc area project.

But if that's the case, then shouldn't Reo told his Academia soldiers not to card them? The Obelisk Force and Tyler Sisters openly declared they will card Yuya when they were duelling him. That's why I'm confused about this. Maybe Yuya and his counterparts are strongly connected, but perhaps Yuri is the only one necessary/crucial in Reo's plan?

IMO, even if Yuya were to lose against Tyler Sisters or the Obelisks, Leo could interrupt them at any time (just like when he forced Sora to return in episode 35-36, not sure about the number). We don't know for sure since Yuya never lose.
It seems like only a few people know about Revival Zero, so maybe Leo keep it secret from everyone.

My guess is that Revival Zero is what could've happened in the Synchro Dimension when the Yuyas started distorting the sky above them, but for it to be fully completed, the bracelets of the four Yuzus need to be deactivated first, which is why Leo needs them.

Yuyas want it, but Yuzus prevent it.

''Revival Zero'' probably means bringing an original, Zero Dimension, back, and/or reviving the original or Zero Yuya (who wanted to become one in the first place).

How did Yugo survive that fall? And how does Rin not even have a scratch after Crystal Wing's attack? Oh well, Yugioh logic I suppose.
By the way, Edo yet has to tell the mind control thing to Yuto, and he's going to find him in a pretty bad state.

Is it possible that Leo has that Doctor control Sora/the Tyler Sisters/Edo? Wasn't a huge fan of the way how they developed those four, but I dunno if mind controlling would be appropriate either. That being said, I really enjoyed the duel between Yugo and Rin, and I'm curious to see what Ruri's deck looks like, since she's the last Yuya/Yuzu character who hasn't had their deck shown.

After Yuya fell at the end of his first duel against Jack, I'm pretty sure they decided to screw physics.

Kaito has already been shown to have 3 Galaxy Eyes in his Extra Deck, so having more than one copy of an Ace Monster in the Extra Deck isn't abnormal, at least for some characters.

Rin has the best duel among the Arc-V girls so far.

I didn't find Yuzu's or Serena's duels to be that exciting compare to what Rin's duel against Yugo.

Yuzu and Serena don't do exciting multiple summons, mind tripping monster effects, creative traps, graveyards, banished zones, long chain combos. Once they summoned their ace cards, that's all they use in their fights and it's just really boring to watch.

Compare to the other girls, Rin's attacks are ruthless and persistent. She always has a trick in her sleeves, and she's dueling like how good duelists are supposed to duel.

That would be interesting... And usually, if something like that happened the main character will go berserk. At least that's what usually happened in most anime.

And I just got a news. I don't know if this was true or not, the source was mostly accurate though.

Pretty sure Ice Bell's effect can only be activated on the turn it was summoned.
Since Winter Bell copies effect and the 3rd turn is not the turn it was summoned, Rin couldn't inflict 500 damage from Ice Bell's effect.

Shun and Edo are here.
Dem Wind Witches got oppai and booty.
So what happens when that monster gets destroyed? You're gonna bust your ass.
Revival Zero?
Z-ARC 001 JOERI and KAY-A 001 SERENA
Nani? Yuugou?
D-Wheel got destroyed.
Yugo lost!
In Selena's ear.
They have arrived.
