I made this animatic as a way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Arc V! Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it on time TwT, but I want to share this little project with all of you 💖
I used the last ending of the series "Dashing Pendulum" as a way to represent a closure to this series that I loved since the first pv was announced.
And I may sound cheesey, but I'm grateful for this series, and everyone who has left nice comments and has supported me these past years, I'll continue to work hard to bring even better things!
The final Duel Links Tag Tournament cup was the Arc-V Cup, with Celina as our partner! Teams included Zuzu and Gong, Declan and Sylvio, a new team of Yugo and Yuto, and another new team of Yuya and Dennis.
Celina: So you're my tag partner. I'd rather Duel both my opponents alone in a 2-on-1 match, but the rules are the rules. You better not mess me up. If you get in my way...This Duel will be 3-on-1 - and you're all going down!
Yugo: Sigh...Yuto? You're my partner?
Yuto: Should I be sorry that I'm not Rin?
Yugo: Yeah! You should! But I guess you do have skills - even if they're not as good as mine. Let's go and show 'em!
Yuto: Sure. But you must realize you're not as talented as me.
(they lose)
Yugo: Agh! We lost! Where did we go wrong?
Yuto: It's because you depend too much on luck.
Yugo: You're saying it's my fault?
Yuto: This is a Tag Duel. Instead of relying on luck, you should rely on your partner!
Yugo: I guess...But...
Yuto: I know this isn't easy for you because the only one you've ever trusted is Rin. But you need to realize you're no longer alone.
Yugo: Well...Whatever! You're making me feel things! Stop that!
Dennis: Yuya, we haven't teamed up like this since the first time we met.
Yuya: Yeah! You scared me back then, busting into my Duel!
Dennis: I won't get an intrusion penalty this time, so I can Duel harder than before!
Yuya: Sounds good! Let's get this show started! Ladies and gentlemen!
Dennis: It's showtime!
(they lose)
Dennis: If we're going to be the best Dueltainers, we need to sharpen our skills.
Yuya: You're right. If we keep Dueling like this, we can't make anyone smile. Let's keep working at it, Dennis!
Dennis: How about we compete to see who can Dueltain most like your father?
Yuya: You know I never turn down a challenge! Let's do it, Dennis!
Celina: I take back what I said. You Dueled great! I didn't know there were still talented Duelists like you out in the world. I guess you can say I'm a big fish in a small pond. A big scary fish that frightens all the smaller fish away...Because I'm kinda...intimidating...Maybe I should talk more nicely...I need to tell you something. A Duelist of your skill? I don't want to just team with you - I want to Duel against you too! So next time we meet, let's Duel! And you're gonna be in the fight of your life! Oops...That was too scary. I forgot I shouldn't talk like that. Next time we meet, I'll squish you like a marshmallow 'til you're nothing but gunk! Wait...That's not right either...
Takerufuji is the first rookie in 110 years to win his debut tournament in top division, finishing 13-2 despite spraining his ankle on day 14. He also walks away with all three special prizes.
The funniest thing Arc-v canonizes about the yugioh world is that it is so single parent friendly that Mr. Boyle just suddenly had a daughter one day despite not having a partner or mentioning adopting and everyone just. Didn't question this. For years. Including the father himself.
Sadfunny part is he very much did ask to get manhandled into a different dimension. That mf walked into that dimensional transporter after 13 yr old Ceo is like "Dont do anything" and he didnt even leave behind a note.
Real and true, he doesn't even Talk to his wife when he finally comes back and only focuses on Yuya, like. Hello. Your hot wife is right there. Can you at least look at her.
