Chances are, they will. It shall be like watching Zoids Century Zero and that show about motorcycles I seem to have forgotten at the moment.

So many questions come to mind....

-Why did Yuusei let Pikachu style his hair?

-How does one hold card, slap them onto duel tray slots and steer with your hands in those side things?

-Do those bikes run on electricity or water?

-Why have I yet to friend you? *friends*

Hey there, Cindy. Good to see you.

But, yeah, that same question (playing the actual card) ran through my mind as well. I also wonder how the huge phallic codpiece on the back of the bike wouldn't puncture a hole through your brain if you didn't ride your bike like the lightcycles from Tron.

And, of course, Yusei's hair is that way because he uses gel made out of what powers his bike. Plutonium...

Hey, how are you?

In regards to the cards, it looks like he has a green computer screen, so maybe they load their decks and it all pops up on a touch screen computer?

Or maybe they'll all just grow more arms, like a certain Espada.

Plutonium! ROFL!

Wow, the computer terminal thing would make the whole "strapping a Duel Disk on a bike with an odd tail-end" totally pointless. XD

It'd be like crafting a fake ass and putting it on your back--you wouldn't be able to use it and it'd just look stupid sitting there. (Kudos on the Bleach reference btw. Though, when you first said extra arms, I immediately thought of Kidomaru from Naruto...dunno why...)

Well, this is certainly the beginning of more random insanity that has become second nature to YGO. However wacky the concept may be, I still hold out hope for the writing, and the animation already looks really good. Let's hope that the artists don't get lazy as artists have in so many other anime *coughBleachcough*. But for now, I'll just sit back and watch the anit-climax of GX, and see how the new series plays out.

BTW Horoko, will you be translating the Duel Terminal pages? I'm very interested in how they'll work.

I won't be translating the pages but I can tell you how it works.

It's basically like the Mushi and Dinosaur King games. To sum it up, you insert your coins and select what mode you want. There's a big deal about "ZOMG U CAN TOUCH THE SCREEN *cream*" and they detail two modes (Dunno what "hajimete duel"/"beginner's duel" is as of yet.) There's another "mode" called "Just Get the card" (Card dake Get) which is you just get your card and it goes to the title screen. After you get your card, or whatever, you put it on the scanner and it scans the card into a shitty little 3D image (no, really, it looks pretty damn bad from what I see.)

The two modes they detail are Action Mode ("Ok even if you don't know the OCG"/quote) Says that rhythm plays a major part. There's 4 points of interest. The Action Button (to perform Action, no doubt,) the Level Gauge (shows stars like on a card and you can move a monster that has up that star count and it goes down over time,) the Action Bar (where you can do stuff with attack and defending and Magic and Traps corresponding to what zone you're in and specific card combos make new zones appear, or something,) and Life Points...yeah...

Speed Duel is like regular dueling only the LP are 3000, there's a 10 card deck, 3 Monster & M/T slots, and you get a 3 card hand. So it's like dueling on crack, I guess.

Never been on here before.......but that's besides the point; Horoko, on DMComet, everybody there knows my stance on this crap (painfully), which is that I'm seriously worried that this will be the end of the franchise as we know it; what do you think about this?

I just hope that this series won't turn from best to worst. I can't even begin to imagine what they're planning turning Yu-Gi-Oh from Egyptian to futuristic
