Beyond the Pendulum

[blastthechaos]

Has anyone drawn Zarcray with Zarc and Ray having Performapal Celestial Magician and Beyond The Pendulum Magician costumes respectively?

I know it's not the exact same but come on...

Don't tell me you don't see it

[bloomboxygo]

I still remember when the new Supreme King support which included Arcray Dragon and Exceed the Pendulum focused on kinda having, in terms of references, Ray being an anchor for Yuya, previously Z-ARC, with how her link cards work well with the redeemed Supreme Kings.

And now, the Melodious Pendulums work very well with RAY!

The Melodious Cards are steadily being used as a LIGHT Pendulum engine to easily make Beyond and go further, leading into great combos that support the redeemed Supreme King cards this way.

And a Pendulum variation also got a 2nd place in the OCG, of all things! (small tourney but still)

It's hard to see from here, but it's the top right build and it also includes Solfachords!

Heh... First Ray being Yuya's companion in-game, and now Yuzu joined in...

This became... Right all of a sudden.

Beyond the Pendulum (requested by @mashayadelpendulo)

[magpiejay1234]

So let’s discuss today’s card, Exceed the Pendulum.

https://yu-gi-oh.xyz/%e6%96%b0%e3%82%ab%e3%83%bc%e3%83%89%e6%83%85%e5%a0%b1/%e3%80%90%e5%a5%87%e8%b7%a1%e3%81%ae%e9%ad%94%e5%b0%8e%e5%89%a3%e5%a3%ab%ef%bd%9c%e3%82%a8%e3%82%af%e3%82%b7%e3%83%bc%e3%83%89%e3%83%bb%e3%82%b6%e3%83%bb%e3%83%9a%e3%83%b3%e3%83%87%e3%83%a5%e3%83%a9/

**The Kanji name is 奇跡の魔導剣, Kiseki no Madoukenshi, which means Magic Swordsman of Miracle. This name is a reference to Beyond the Pendulum’s Kanji name, 軌跡の魔術師, Kiseki no Majutsushi.

As we discussed before Madoukenshi is generally translated as Paladin, and is used for various Paladin monsters, including Yuya’s Synchro Paladins. So, this is Ray’s Paladin form.

***The different Kanjis mean different things, Beyond the Pendulum’s Kiseki means trajectory, referring to Samsara Cycle, whereas Exceed the Pendulum’s Kiseki means Miracle, as in Divine Intervention.

****This basically means Ray is no longer just a Deva guiding the Reincarnation Cycle, she is now a full blown Deity, on the road of becoming a Buddha.

*****As we discussed before, both Kisekis are used in Yusei’s cards, and generally used in reference to Synchro Summoning, and lore of Synchros.

**Katakana name is エクシード・ザ・ペンデュラム, is a reference to Firewall eXceed Dragon, and Parallel eXceed, much like how Beyond the Pendulum was a reference to Number 39: Utopia Beyond (Japanese name: Numbers 39: King of Hope Beyond the Hope).

***I don’t know the symbolism behind this, besides Yuya’s “true” Summoning method being Xyz. The other symbolism is of course both Xyz Monsters are manifestations of the main character with their spirit partner, and Ray is Yuya’s spirit partner of sorts.

Other tidbits besides name:

**Ray’s purple outfit is visible in this form.

**Her sword is actually the pendulum necklace she wears in Beyond the Pendulum, the core of which we presume to be the Pendulum of Z-ARC.

**Her staff in Beyond the Pendulum is actually now her cape.

**Her overall design is a mixture of Enlightenment Paladin, and Nirvana High Paladin.

***This likely further suggests, if not outright confirm that Synchro Pendulums are a manifestation of Ray’s power, rather than Z-ARC.

**Both her sword, and her elbow-cape’s “wings” reference Z-ARCs arcs.

**Beyond the Pendulum’s statline referenced Stargazer Magician, and Timegazer Magician. This card’s statline references Chronograph Sorcerer, and Dharma-Eye Magician.

***This card’s effect allows to get to 2500 ATK, which is Enlightenment Paladin’s original ATK.

****I wonder if we are going to get a 2500 ATK Ray form to work with the Z-ARC support in this set.

Other odd references:

**This card was revealed in the week of Feast of Mary Magdalene (which coincides with the set’s release date), much like how Z-ARC’s purified form was revealed in the week of Ascension. So the symbolism is rather obvious.

**Beyond the Pendulum had 2 arrows for Performapal Gentrude, and Performapal Ladyange, whereas Exceed the Pendulum has three arrows for Arc-Ray Dragon, Lightwurm, and Supreme King Gate Magician.

***Going by Ascension theming, this likely references the two angels that are mentioned in the Gospel accounts. The two angels are commonly depicted as carrying Jesus to Heaven in Medieval artworks, appearing side by side.

**Beyond the Pendulum’s effect adds a Pendulum Monster from Deck, and destroys opponent’s cards. Exceed the Pendulum’s effects adds a Pendulum Monster from the face-up Extra Deck, and Special Summons a Pendulum Monster from hand or GY in your or your opponent’s turn.

***In other words, rather than purging evil, she resurrects dead comrades.

***This card’s ATK gain effect is a reference to Smile World, and Dark Paladin.

Edit: 

**Also forgot, her hair has now blue hues. Blue Pendulum gem represents Z-ARC, so much like how Z-ARC is getting Ray’s essence in Arc-Ray Dragon’s design, Ray is getting Z-ARC’s essence.

Scream king request (if you haven't done him already): Jeffrey Combs!

I was surprised I hadn’t done Jeffrey Combs yet 😅

Scream King - Jeffrey Combs

[letmereadherbertwestfics]

I like imagine a world where all of the Jeffrey Combs characters are coworkers at a retail store, like a dollar tree or something small like that. like one is the store manager, one is an assistant manager, some key holders, and of course some sales associates. Maybe a few that don't work there but are regulars, fuck it

[poorlyassembled]

Please tell me I'm not alone in this

[blastthechaos]

Melodious mixing well with Supreme King and Beyond/Exceed the Pendulum mixing well with Performapal/Odd-Eyes/Pendulum Magician (even if just by necessity over being pendulums and needing that monster) just supports my theory that Yuya and Yuzu are Zarc and Ray blatant favorites, even when talking about the others fragments.

Harnessing the Power of the Pendulum for Divination

Shaina Tranquilino

August 28, 2023

Throughout history, humans have sought ways to connect with the spiritual realm and gain insight into the future. One such method is pendulum divination, a practice that has been used by various cultures across time. The pendulum, a simple tool consisting of a weight suspended on a string or chain, can serve as a powerful instrument for accessing intuitive guidance and uncovering hidden truths. In this blog post, we will explore the art of using a pendulum for divination and delve into its potential benefits.

Understanding Pendulum Divination:

Pendulum divination is based on the principle that our subconscious mind holds knowledge beyond our conscious awareness. By tapping into this inner wisdom and connecting with higher realms or spirits, we can seek answers to questions or gain clarity on specific situations.

The Mechanics of Pendulum Divination:

To begin your journey with pendulum divination, you first need to select or create your pendulum. It can be made from various materials like crystal, wood, metal, or even something as simple as a key attached to a string. Choose one that resonates with you and feels comfortable to hold.

Once you have your pendulum ready, find a quiet space where you can concentrate without distractions. Sit comfortably and hold the top end of the string or chain between your thumb and forefinger, allowing the weighted end to hang freely.

Establishing Communication:

Before diving into any specific questions or inquiries, it is crucial to establish communication with your pendulum. Begin by asking it to show you what "yes" looks like and then observe how it swings or moves in response. Similarly, ask it to demonstrate what "no" looks like. This process helps set up an agreed-upon language between you and the pendulum.

Asking Questions:

With communication established, you are now ready to ask questions. Start with straightforward queries that have a clear "yes" or "no" response. Hold the pendulum still and mentally state your question, allowing the pendulum to swing or move in response. Remember to remain open-minded and receptive during this process.

Interpreting the Pendulum's Responses:

The pendulum's movements can vary between swinging back and forth, side to side, circular motions, or even remaining still. It is essential to develop an understanding of what these different patterns mean for you personally. For example, a clockwise circle may signify affirmation, while a counterclockwise motion could indicate hesitation or negativity. Trust your intuition and observe patterns over time to decipher the meanings accurately.

Benefits of Pendulum Divination:

1. Insightful Guidance: The pendulum acts as a bridge between conscious and subconscious realms, offering valuable insights into various aspects of life, including relationships, career decisions, health concerns, and personal growth.

2. Enhanced Intuition: Regular practice with a pendulum can help sharpen your intuitive abilities by strengthening your connection to your higher self and spiritual guidance.

3. Decision-Making Tool: When faced with difficult choices or uncertainty, using a pendulum can provide clarity and assist in making informed decisions aligned with your deepest desires.

Pendulum divination is an ancient art that allows us to tap into our inner wisdom and connect with subtle energies beyond our immediate perception. By learning how to use a pendulum effectively and interpreting its responses intuitively, we gain access to valuable guidance for various aspects of life. Remember that practicing pendulum divination requires patience, trust in yourself, and respect for the energy you are harnessing. So why not give it a try? You may be pleasantly surprised by the profound insights awaiting you through this simple yet powerful tool.
