5D's...Anime Series or Crazy Bad Fanfic Come to Life?
I'll leave my commentaries until later, but here's a scan from V-Jump:

http://janime.info/card/YugiohGX/VJ05_08/05.jpg

From the First Episode, Ushio's Cards As Well!!
The cards of the detective persistently hot on Yusei's tail, Ushio, are in here as well!! Defensive tactics to contain opponent monsters' movements with card effects are his forte.

Also, in the purple box, I mistook "第一話" for "chapter 1" instead of "episode 1"...it actually talks about him being a character in episode 1 in the last sentence...which still leaves a bad taste in my mouth like none other.

Bah, anyway, there it is...in all of its "glory."

So...the Ushio from the pre-DM days is going to be showing up in 5D's? And also, if you don't mind me asking, what does it say about KENN? I noticed [GX] and Yuki Judai, so I was wondering if it meant he'd be returning as the seiyuu for another 5D's character.

From memory, it was just about KENN meeting the current seiyuu for Yusei after postrecording for the last GX episode with congrats and flowers, or something like that. I would probably be able to tell you if I read the article again, but I'll be arsed if I do :P

What exactly is wrong with Ushio appearing?
Wasn't one of the things we most complained about with GX was the fact that it had such a stock of reusable characters, but just ignored them and created new, under-developed ones?
Surely this is a step in the right direction.

"Query" is the spelling you're looking for.

My problem arises with them adding in old characters and jumping through time like some bad fanfic. "Several years in the future, the son/brother/cousin/brother-of-the-roommate-of-father's roommate of Yugi duels [on MOTORBIKES] against the bestestest card player in the land, [insert name here.]"

You could replace "Ushio" with any other name/character and it'd be so much less random. "Hey, look, we added in Ushio [for nostalgia's sake.] Oh, and look, we also put him as part of the police force because he was the disciplinarian in high school. Oh, and we made him play Duel Monsters. Oh, and it's a police deck. Oh, and he does this while on a motorcycle."

It just screams, "What is this random shit and why even bother?" Making non-card playing one-shot villains play cards is completely random. (Sort of like how Step Johnny just so happened to have a deck of Duel Monsters cards on him.) But, one-shot villains playing cards while on a horribly unsafe medium is completely retarded.

They could easily have established another character and try not to banish him into obscurity like so many others. But, instead, they drag Ushio out of one-shot hell (not like he was dead or anything,) dust him off, put him a ridiculous outfit, give him a tan, and make him take part in this ridiculous dreck.
