Cross Duel End of Service
This just in! Good evening, Duelists, this is Luna, the Duel Reporter reporting that the mobile game, Yu-Gi-Oh Cross Duel, is terminating its service on September 4, 2023. Cross Duel players will be able to get support in Master Duel and Duel Links, via currency and icons.
I gotta say, while I didn’t play Cross Duel, I kinda expected it to live further than that. This game has been out six months, and it’s already calling it quits.
I mean, for crying out loud, Duel Links has been going strong for almost 7 years now. It has seen 2 Yu-Gi-Oh series come and go and SEVERAL new formats be either created or officially endorsed, like Rush Duel, Speed Duel, Common Charity, and Time Wizard.
So... what happened? Well, even a brief Google search will tell you that the player base for Cross Duel has been dwindling for a while now. And even then, Cross Duel doesn’t seem very Yu-Gi-Oh esque, past the art used, which can drive off people more invested in the actual card game, like myself. But, even then, I’m shocked to learn that it’s going down literally two days before it even becomes a year old.
I am going to mourn this game, however, both between being a Yu-Gi-Oh fan and not wanting to see something from one of my favorite franchises fail, but also as a fan of the new artwork the game brought. I mean, seriously, I just adore these Icons.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mean, look at these. These have so much personality and fanservice.
Neos’ is cool and cocky, Stardust Dragon is riding Yusei’s bike, Superstar packs all of Shingo Sawatari’s fruitiness while still being an homage to the card and to Abyss Script, Borreload is doing Revolver’s JoJo pose from episode 46 of VRAINS, while also kinda looking like his redesign from Season 2.
All this to say, rest in peace Yu-Gi-Oh Cross Duel. You will be missed.

Sonó el estambre de la guerra. se veían el filos de los cuchillos, se presentan los gritos al redoble de los pasos, las miradas se alejaban del as esquinas al sentir la sensación de horrores. envuelto en su llanto, el pajarillo de rama temblaba al no poder devorar la flor y tampoco contenerla, al no saber como arrancar de la rama y salir corriendo. Sus ojos lloraron de nuestros ojos. De nuevo el estallido al borde de la puerta, el periódico contando las manos perdidas, otra vez odiando las oraciones al no entender... ¿El Porqué se permite, el por qué existe el mal...? Debes armas tus dedos y apuntar si Chistar, es eso o morir, debes estar con las manos en los bolsillos disponible para sacar tu arma y pelear, [debes]... Más seguía allí entre la rama, asumido los rezos que le daban, más nada se movía. (Ahora muero de sentimentalismo, el amor que no debería corta; se suicida de mis córneas, no pudo pelear así que seré pisado, así que espero a que me disparen, y si no lo hacen lo haré yo; porque me duele saber y ver que no puedo hacer más, no soporto presenciar más ráfagas, gritos y lamentos... No logro consolar a mi corazón de tanta dolor, muero por el mundo, aunque me gustaría decir que no es así, pero lo es, no se puede ocultar entre sueños el odio que se come al mundo, no se puede... ¿Qué puedo hacer...?, Doblo los reportes, los encasillo y trabajo en mí haciendo de mis actos un puente, construyendo.. más todo tiene un fin, se marchita y cae, y estoy cayendo>> Gotas perladas en la calles que solo se ven en la unión del sol y la luna. Se descolgó el pajarito de la rama, y la tierra le acogió.

It's my Turn to Fly
AO3
Summary: Crow has been showing up with bruises, so Akiza takes upon herself to find out the truth.
Alternate Universe: Role Reversal.
Originally made for Yugioh Rarepair Week 2023. But I could not get it out in time. So, this is now made in the spirit of the event.
In the Tag Force games there was an NPC with a heart shaped marker on her. So, I like to think that Akiza would have a rose shaped or a vine themed marker.
Lately Crow has been coming to the garage with scratches and bruises. Everyday a new one would pop up. And when asked about it he would just deflect. It was starting to worry the sibling trio.
"I should get going." Crow announced.
"I'll go with you home." Akiza steps next to him. It was to get a closer look and find more bruises. 
"Thanks. But a girl like you shouldn't be out so late." Crow said taking a step back and looking away.
Akiza puffed up her cheeks. "I can handle the city. I survived in Satellite after all."
"The city is different." Crow shot back. "I am fine! I'll see you all later."
Crow left the garage.
"Oh! Who does he think he is?!" Akiza shouted. "We can see the cuts. It's clear as day!"
The boys could only sigh. They knew Crow had his reasons. They opted to wait until Crow would yell them. But trying to convince their sister of that was like talking to a wall. Long story short; she is absolutely concerned for Crow's wellbeing.
"I have an idea." Akiza said.
"What ever it is, don't do it." Jack said.
"How are you two not worried?" Akiza asked.
"It dosen't seem too serious. So it's fine." Jack said.
"Oh!" Akiza stormed off to her room.
-
After school.
"Hey, Crow. Why don't we hangout?" Leo asked.
"I got something to do. Later." Crow walked away. The twins nodded at each other. They followed Crow a short distance away.
Together with Akiza they came up with a plan to find out what was wrong with Crow. The twins would follow Crow after school and report back what they found.
""Huh?""
"It's the duel runner license place." Luna said.
"But Crow dosen't have a duel runner." Leo said.
Then it hit them both. They quickly ran until the building. They found a place in the stands where Crow couldn't see them.
"And that's what we saw." Leo said.
The sibling trio all looked at each other.
"Well I was right. There was nothing to worry about." Jack looked at his at his sister. She crossed her Arma.
"Why would he hide it?" Yusei said.
"Duh. He wants it to be a surprise." Leo said.
It made sense to everyone. Bur Akiza was quick to take action.
"Then we will make him a duel runner." She said. "It'll be our surprise to him when he gets his license."
She hummed as she rummaged through the scrap. Soon joined in by the others. Day and night. They worked on the duel runner. The twins did their best to keep Crow away from the garage. It was close to being finished. However, Akiza felt that something was missing.
She looked the the duel runner. It was primarily black and had yellow accents. She was thinking. It felt incomplete. Something was missing. She touched it.
"I wish I could soar the skies. Now that I am not caged, all I want is to fly."
"Wings." Akiza realized what was missing.
Then someone entered the building.
Startled she turned around to see Crow standing at the entrance. Not wantinghim to see the duelrunner, she stood in front of it. As if her tiny body could hide it. "Crow!"
"What is going on? Why are the twins keeping me from coming here?" Crow looked at Akiza.
"W-well...." Akiza glanced at the bike.
"What is that?" Crow asks. 
"A surprise for you...." Akiza awnsers.
Crow was confused. Akiza came clean about the plan she had with Leo and Luna.
"I wanted to surprise everyone with news of me getting my license...." Crow said.
"You were covered in bruises. What else could we think. I- we wanted to make sure you were okay." Akiza said.
Crow didn’t know what to say. He was still getting used to having people care about him.
"There is one thing left. To put on your new runner." Akiza smiled.
-
"Now what do you want to name it." Yusei asked.
"Blackbird." Crow said.
"After the Blackwings. Go figure." Jack rolled his eyes.
"Thank you everyone." Crow said. "Now that I have my license, I will be able to soar to new heights. This time it's my turn to fly."
-
One day Crow arrived at the garage.
"Oh, Crow." Akiza said.
"Hey Akiza." Crow said.
"What brings you here?"
"I was wondering if we could go for a ride?" Crow asked.
"Cool! I was just thinking that I want the wind blowing in my hair. Let me get Bloody Kiss." She said heading to get her gear.
"W-wait... there is enough on here for one more...." Crow's face was tinted with red.
Akiza smiled. She grabbed her helmet and wrapped her arms around Crow.
"I'll be sure to hold on tight." She chuckled.

KEY WEST ROYAL POINCIANA UNDER ATTACK
KEY WEST ROYAL POINCIANA UNDER ATTACK - https://keywestlou.com/key-west-royal-poinciana-under-attack-2/Key West Lou coming back soon! Stayed tuned!   Originally Posted August 2018 Key West’s beautiful, flamboyant, orange-red petaled Royal Poincianas are under attack. A plague. The culprit some type caterpillar. The caterpillars just short of 2 inches long. Attack only by night. The Dracula of the vermin world. Eat the flamboyant flowers and foliage. Destroy the trees. Major outbreaks occur every 10-15 years. This obviously is the year. Treatments are available to protect against and/or control the caterpillars. Information is available through the County. Contact Michelle Leonard-Mularz. She is an Environmental Horticulture Agent. [email protected]. There is a concern among some that the City of Key West itself may not be doing enough to help. Yesterday another busy one. Began with lunch at Sandy’s Cafe. Followed by several errands. A quick nap late in the afternoon. An early evening start. Monday night so it was Dueling Bartenders at Aqua. Tom Luna and Rick Dery the best! A decent crowd for August. Including Liz, Josefina, Mary, and Linda. Another Mary joined me. Mark Watson came hurrying through and gave a wave. Dinner with Mary at Antonia’s bar afterwards. Mary Lou Hoover and Charlie Waite at the bar, also. Good people. Mary Lou looked tired. She has been campaigning 9 months for election to the Key West City Commission. The battle over. Enjoying a late dinner. We chatted a bit. As you are aware, I one hundred percent support Mary Lou. A more interested and concerned person I have never met. Ran into an old friend I have not seen in years also at Antonia’s. Mary Ann Westerland. Today is election day in Florida. For local races, today is the day. Not in November. If you are a Key Wester, please consider voting for Mary Lou. Staying with the election for a moment, today is primary day for federal and state offices. I have been supporting Gwen Graham to be the candidate for Governor on the Democratic ticket. A member of Congress, she also is the daughter of Bob and Adele Graham. Bob the former Governor of Florida and a member of the U.S. Senate. Politics is in Gwen’s blood. Tuesday means podcast time for me. My podcast. Tuesday Talk with Key West Lou. Nine in the evening. A quick moving interesting half hour. I tend to rant and rave. Join me. Guaranteed you will not be bored. www.blogtalkradio.com/key-west-lou. A late night ahead. Being a political junkie, I will be glued to the TV for election results. Love the Key West weatherman. Always a quip following his weather prediction. Today and tonight, showers. Following the report…..Free carwash. I close with Trump. Not the disrespect and pettiness he exhibited with John McCain’s death. I did enough of that yesterday. My concern at the moment is the redoing of the NAFTA agreement with Mexico. Yesterday, Trump in effect claimed victory. Similar to his announcement following the meeting with North Korea’s Kim. Not really a victory. Nothing finalized. Many items still to be covered. Whatever, Trump got on the phone in the Oval Office. Seated behind his mammoth desk. Regal appearing. He called Mexico’s President. Reporters present. I will not go into the details. They are all over TV and the newspapers today. Trump looked bad. Though a few points were generally agreed upon, it was obvious a deal was not yet close. Typical Trump. There must always be a victory! A victory he made possible. Trump already made a fool of the United States and himself re the Kim situation. I compare Kim and yesterday’s telephone call to Neville Brand when he got off the airplane in September 1938. He had rushed to Munich to have a face to face meeting with Hitler in a last ditch attempt to avoid war. Chamberlain got off the plane waving a paper. “Peace in  our time,” he shouted. World War II began soon after. Chamberlain bullshitted as Trump has been. Sometimes Trump bullshits himself. Enjoy your day!

oh hey another page of lazy comics...
I decided i’m gonna show what happened with Luna and Vallus.
Tumblr is a b* so here’s what they said:
Random charr: Where is he now?
Luna: With his sire, i needed a “me-time”.
Random charr: You’re lucky your mate is proactive.
Legionare of Luna: Luna! The Centurion summons you to the Gladia-pit!
Luna: Legionare! What am i being summoned for?
RC: uh oh..
Legionare: That’s classified.
Luna: Centurion! You summoned?
Centurion: Indeed i did.
Centurion: I heard some rumors about you... they say you intend to desert us.
Centurion: Do you deny it?
Centurion: Your silence speaks for you.
_____________________________________
After this the Centurion gives her a chance at freedom but only if she wins againts him in a duel. Luna ultimately loses and dies by the Centurion’s hands.
Vallus (who is at this time taking care of baby-Denalien) is notified of his mate’s death and rushes to the pit, where he sees the deceased Luna on the ground. The Centurion approaces him and tells him that he is to report to his own Centurion and that he is lucky he is not under his command.
Vallus reports to his centurion who asks if after all that happened if he still plans on deserting to which Vallus replied no defeatedly. His centurion says that the death of his mate is punishment enough then and releases Vallus to raise Denalien till he is ready for the Fahrar.
Next in timeline order is this:

Scarlet Legilimens
House: Ravenclaw
Species: Human/phoenix hybrid (formerly human)
Blood Status: Pureblood
(Pointless) Wand: Cherry, 13 inches, phoenix feather  
(Pointless) Broom: Firebolt Supreme
Patronus: Red-billed firefinch
Specialty: Legilimency, Occlumency, Flying, Dark Arts, Wandless Magic
Sorting
Wanda Maximoff is a living example of how the traits of Ravenclaw House may be applied to the most heinous villainy, and the most self-sacrificing heroism. As a villain, she is crafty and manipulative; as a hero, clever and intuitive. Her fighting style, for good or evil, is always more sneaky and innovative than “bold.” Ironically, her mind is also her weakest point as well as her strongest, as poor Wanda continuously ends up as the manipulated as often as the manipulator. A born Legilimens, her abilities, strengths and flaws are all mind related.
Note the “cleverness” and “ready mind” mentioned by the Sorting Hat needn’t always come in the form of a bookish nerd, as Luna Lovegood, Sybil Trelawney, Profeesor Quirrel and Professor Lockheart are all Ravenclaw. Wanda may not spend her free time studying or watching the Discovery Channel, but she does spend much of it experimenting with her powers, and letting her imagination loose. When faced with unbearable loss, she wasn’t immediately able to face her grief head-on, like a Gryffindor; nor, as a corrupt Ministry leader lied, did she try to resurrect her lost lover; instead, she escaped into her own mind, imagining up an (almost) complete fictitious life for herself and Vision, in a matter of seconds, without even realizing she was doing it.
Wanda is capable of impressive courage, ambition and loyalty, to be sure; but all of those things have wavered, when her reality was turned upside-down. She shed years of indoctrination after reading Ultron’s mind and seeing the grim truth. (And yes, she can read a machine’s mind! That’s a Ravenclaw right there.)
Durmstrang Experiments
Wanda and her twin brother Pietro were born to wizarding parents, in the tiny European nation of Sokovia. Wanda was a born Legilimens, like Queenie Goldstein, able to peek into others’ minds without having to perform any spells. A poor family, their father made ends meet by enchanting posters and lobby cards of old Muggle sitcoms to play out entire episodes, which he then sold to Muggle-enthusiasts in the wizarding world. Their home was decimated by a spell invented by Tony Stark, who never intended for it to end up in the claws of banshee terrorists. The twins ended up in a crap Muggle orphanage, which only intensified their prejudices. By the time they entered Durmstrang, a school infamous for professors that supported Dark Magic and even Voldemort, they were ripe for indoctrination and radicalization.
Due to Wanda’s being a Legilimens, the twins were selected for a dangerous experiment by their headmaster Professor Beowulf Von Stucker. Using the Mind Stone, the twins were to be fused with their wands. Wanda’s first name suddenly became very appropriate, a la Remus Lupin. Wanda merged with her phoenix-feathered wand, transforming the born Legilimens into a powerful human/phoenix hybrid. Her telepathic powers were enhanced, and she gained many powers of a phoenix, including flight, inhuman strength for her levitation spells, and being nearly indestructible. Being part wand also made her able to do wandless magic with no effort. Pietro, meanwhile, was merged with his Veela-hair wand, making him a human/Veela hybrid, and gifting him with a Veela’s dancing speed and silvery hair.
(A very special thanks to AlasterBoneman for the idea about Wanda's wand being integrated into her body.) Order of the Avengers Wanda and Pietro are finishing up their first year when they cross paths with the Order of the Avengers, and they don't exactly make a good first impression. Their vitriol against the Avengers and Tony Stark makes very little sense, especially given that Wanda is a telepath, and should easily see they aren't the villains (not to mention how much she has in common with Natasha, whose life story Wanda personally digs up). But, the twins are still only about eleven, and kids that age can be pretty stupid. The Avengers trace Loki's confiscated broom-scepter to Durmstrang, where the dark wizards from the Order of Hydra are keeping it. Wanda, having recently studied with a Boggart, uses her Legillimency to make the Avengers relive their traumas. Tony's fear shows Wanda that he clearly wants to protect the world, and yet she makes the very un-Ravenclaw decision to keep pursuing "revenge." Her plan inadvertently leads to Tony and Bruce accidentally creating a dangerous and ear-bleedingly-irritating gargoyle named Ultron, who the twins personally work with. Wanda even shocks Bruce into green-wolf form, and sends him on a rampage through one of the dormitories at Durmstrang (but it's not her or Pietro's House, so she could care less). Finally, after much too long, she puts her mental powers to some use, and reads Ultron's mind. That's when she puts two and two together. By then, Ultron has unleashed an army of Cornish Pixies to levitate Durmstrang Castle miles into the air, planning to drop it in an explosion of magic that will alert the Muggles to the existence of wizards. Huddled in a swaying castle tower, she confesses her guilt to Hufflepuff Clint Barton. Clint invites her to redeem herself by joining the Avengers. Durmstrang is saved, but sadly, Pietro takes a killing curse for Clint and another first year. wrought with grief and guilt, wanda begins her second year of schooling at Hogwarts, where--after an unusually long time on the stool--she is sorted into Ravenclaw. Her lonely mood is raised slightly when she finds the attractive new Golem, Vision, hovering to the Ravenclaw table alongside her.
The Scarlet Witch Hunt
Perhaps living on her own for a while is what finally helps Wanda regain the confidence to think for herself. When Vision suggests that they both drop out of their respective schools and just run off together, she urges him against the idea. When Vision senses a disturbance in his Mind Stone, she inspects it for him, but reports, “I just feel you.”
They are interrupted by a rude crowd of Trolls under their window, calling for Wanda’s blood. She’s fine to ignore them, but Vision—ever the logical Ravenclaw—is compelled intellectually argue with the Trolls in his lady's honor.
“Wanda is a redemption-seeking-antihero like Tony, who she has not expressed any hatred for since the Ultron fiasco—not even during the whole ‘Civil War’ calamity! In fact, of everyone on Team Cap, she was the least awful to Tony! The only verbal exchange between them during the whole drunk Quidditch match was a brief pout about being 'locked in her room,' which she had no problem with until Hawkeye came and pressured her. She was literally the only person in the Squid prison not insulting him! And just a few minutes ago, when I wanted her to run away with me, she was telling me to keep my loyalties to Stark, and when the news reported him missing she was visibly scared for him! Seriously, where are you Trolls even getting that she still hates Tony?”
One Troll with particularly long horns shouts back, “Well what about that cleavage and slutty red leather? Tony Stark was never a slu—er, wait…”
Vision is now standing in the window frame, unbuttoning his fly.
“Vision?” Wanda asks nervously. “What are you doing?”
A glittering, purple stream poursd out from her boyfriend’s “better wand,” threatening to deface the crowd below.
“Vision no!” she cries, quickly containing the violet river in an energy ball.
Steady hand…    she carefully lifts the ball of glistening liquid higher and higher into the air. …Not gonna screw this one up—
“I say Wanda, is that a giant flying donut?” Vision asks curiously.
Wanda glances up, and there is indeed a gargantuan space donut in the night sky, coming right for them. The strange sight distracts her, causing her hand to slip—just as she’s levitating Visions liquids right over said donut.
This enchanted pastry is in fact the vessel of some of Thanos’s most vicious minions. And Wanda has just drenched them in Vision’s you-know-what.
While Wanda gasps behind her hand, Vision suggests, “Let’s go for a walk.”
On their way down the quiet lamp-lit streets, they are soon stopped by a group of Thanos’s putrid goblin children, currently slightly more putrid than usual.
A blue female goblin roars, “Now you’ve really succeeded in pissing us off!”
Before she can stop herself, Wanda blurts out, “Pissed off? Smells more to me like you ‘been pissed on!”
Somewhere, a boxing bell dings, and a badass wizard’s duel begins.
Just when Wanda and Vision are cornered, a train passes by, causing all parties to freeze dramatically for no apparent reason. Wanda tries to make her body move, to take this opportunity to blast her opponents, but some force has her glued in place, as low music hisses theatrically throughout the night. The train passes, to reveal a shadowy figure, posing heroically. Instead of shooting the figure with a hex, one of the goblins simply throws a spear, which the figure catches expertly. Wanda and Vision both know that there is only one person on the planet would could make an entrance with this much ham and cheese.
Steve Rogers dramatically stepped into the light, revealing his fluffy new beard, and the duel gets a bit more epic.
Oh Snap
In the wizarding nation of Wakanda, Black Panther’s brilliant sister Shuri does her damndest to save her fellow Ravenclaw, and safely remove the Infinity Stone from Vision’s forehead. Sadly, Thanos’s forces overwhelm her, and Wanda is forced to kill her lover--the last family she has left. Many would assume only a Gryffindor would have the resolve to do this, but a Ravenclaw’s wisdom and pragmatism can go a long way.
Ever the sadist, that purple f*ck Thanos uses the Time Stone to resurrect Vision and kill him again, in front of Wanda, and even has the gault "comfort" her in a patronizing manner.
And yet, she’s not so distraught when Thanos’s Dusting curse comes for her. It could be that she’s so despaired by now that she welcomes death. Or maybe the half-phoenix simply doesn’t react to dissolving into ash the same way other beings might…
…in any case, she is resurrected over the summer by Bruce Banner. Vision, sadly, isn’t. In her grief, Wanda accidently traps herself and the entire school of Hogwarts inside the Mirror of Erised, but that's another story entirely. 
Wand, Broom and Patronus
Cherry wood is associated with some of the most powerful and lethal wands.  Phoenix feather wands are considered to have the widest range of magic, and are among the post powerful, yet also the most difficult to tame. 
The red-billed firefinch is one of the few bird species where the females sport some red coloring. These birds are tiny and quiet, but very active. They are flexible about where they live and with whom; they can mix with other bird species, and can live in the wild or captivity, provided they always have plenty of space. Their nests are different from other birds', having a dome shape and being low in bushes. Not unlike the hidden fortress Wanda creates, to hide her family. These crafty birds also build mock-nests to fool predators.  
AN: This has undergone some changes in both the story and image, since the release of "WandaVision." If anyone is for any reason attached to Wanda's old broom, the previous version is saved in my Stash. I plan to reuse that fire design somewhere else, possibly for Harry's Firebolt in my more serious Potter art.

What does Slytherin bf end up doing during the war? What are his family's views? Does he talk to them at all?
What does he think about Umbridge?? And the DA? Does he go to the dep of mysteries with Harry and gang??
It’s an interesting question, and ultimately that’s up to the reader. But personally, I imagine that the Slytherin is a pureblood wizard with a mother who supported the Death Eaters during the war and a father who vehemently opposed them and is outspoken for the end of pureblood bigotry, the advancement of Squib rights, and is even seen as radical for his campaigning for inviting other magical races to share in governing the magical world, or at least having a representative of their own race in office.
Needless to say, their relationship became strained when they realized their youthful love faced irreconcilable differences, but by then they already had a son. While they both love their son, it becomes increasingly hard for the family to stay together when the mother continues to lobby against Muggles and advocate against everything the father stands for - not to mention the mother ends up being estranged from her son because, to her mind, the father is poisoning him with Mudblood rhetoric.
The father is often called a blood traitor, but due to his family’s influence and wealth, he’s able to get away with it and earn the sucking-up from polite society, unlike families like the Weasleys. The mother’s family had all their assets seized due to Death Eater ties, so she can only do her Dark work in secret and meet up with old friends like Lucius and Rookwood occasionally. Both of them had jobs at the Ministry - the father in the Department of Foreign Affairs and the mother on the Auror Oversight Committee, where she curtailed efforts to apprehend former Death Eaters.
Basically he comes to Hogwarts with relief to get away from a not-great home situation, and nobody knows what he’s going to be like. His parents split when he ends up in Slytherin and sends a letter home saying that the people mother told him to befriend weren’t nice at all and he doesn’t like how they treat others. An argument between the parents ensues and the family splits. He stays with his father during the summers or holidays when he isn’t out campaigning or working with foreign wizards.
Even his mother knew to stay away from Dolores Jane Umbridge, so the prefect is wary of her at the very least. Despite her being an utter horrible person, his mother has communicated with Umbridge to ensure her son was not a target, as his father became more and more outspoken about supporting Dumbledore. He was able to use this to fly under Umbridge’s radar even as he remained boyfriends with Fred Weasley, son of a known Dumbledore-sympathizer.
The foundation of the Inquisitorial Squad was the last straw to break his Slytherin sense of self-preservation and he threw himself into not only “abusing his position as prefect” to protect the younger students of all Houses, but to hex, jinx, and curse the members of the Organization with impunity - it was also his suggestion to teach Deletrius, the Eradication Charm, to erase evidence of spells that could be revealed by Priori Incantatem. 
He became the first Slytherin member of the DA, seeing it as his duty to lead the lights of House Slytherin against the Dark Arts. He convinced trustworthy younger and older students to join in - consequently, Slytherin House became a battleground of dueling in which members of the Inquisitorial squad were ambushed or assaulted by others in both Muggle and magical dueling, and no students reported any misconduct for fear of further retaliation.
When the DA was revealed, it was the neutral of Slytherin House that made the most noise. Seeing their friends and classmates so brutally punished by Umbridge, so convinced You-Know-Who was back - these children of the ambitious and determined House spoke up. They wrote their fathers, their mothers, their Ministry uncles and aunts, telling them they would not stand for this. They organized defiant shout-downs of Umbridge’s class and ensured that every family member who could do something heard about their hands getting sliced open and their rights being taken away. Wizarding society was given more awareness by these brave students, and it was an incredible time for Inter-House unity.
The prefect did in fact go to the Department of Mysteries in the midst of sitting his N.E.W.T. Exams - he was allowed to retake his Muggle Studies N.E.W.T. the next month. It was there that he saw his mother for the first time in four years - as a Death Eater on the opposing side. The prefect in fact struck her with a vicious Heat Charm cast on her Death Eater mask, badly burning her and incapacitating her for the Aurors to lock up. He stayed behind protecting the members of the DA who were injured or knocked out, his knowledge of Healing Charms keeping Hermione Granger stable and reviving Luna Lovegood from a concussion. It’s a hard moment, but he cut himself off from his mother’s side of the family permanently from then on, renouncing his ties to any who worked with Voldemort.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 - Review & Spoiler!!
WARNING!!! THIS IS SPOILER CONTENT..!!!
The Dragon's Ride
We pick off just where we left off in the story: Voldemort has taken the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's tomb.
What exactly is the Elder Wand? According to mythology, it is only the world's most powerful wand.And it's in Voldemort's possession. (Yes, we're heading straight to the races.)
Quotes with Emma Watson's Click Here~>
As a result, Harry and his companions are on a mad dash to locate and destroy the remaining Horcruxes. They speak with Griphook, a goblin who worked at Gringotts bank and became involved in Harry's drama at the end of the previous film, when the kids were attempting to flee Malfoy Manor.
Harry has deduced that Bellatrix has one of the Horcruxes in her vault as a result of the whole ordeal, and he wants Griphook to assist him in retrieving it. Griphook agrees, but only on the condition that Harry hands up the Gryffindor Sword in exchange. Sure, they planned to use the sword to destroy the Horcruxes, but isn't the first step getting the Horcrux? As a result, Harry agreed.
Unfortunately, the journey to Gringotts did not go as planned. The bank appears to have been alerted that imposters may be attempting to gain access to Bellatrix's vault, and even if Harry and the others get past the initial hurdle, they run into major problems once inside: The youngsters are nearly swallowed by a mountain of replica treasures after touching Bellatrix's prize, which has a spell on it that enables it to multiply when touched.
Then, once they've gotten beyond all of that nonsense, Griphook kind of abandons them after obtaining the Sword of Gryffindor. After all, he only pledged to get them inside the vault, not out of it, in his opinion. As a result, he fled, leaving the children behind.
Fortunately, this group is resourceful, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron escape the bank by riding a dragon imprisoned in Gringotts' basement.
The youngsters jump from the dragon's back once they've gotten a safe distance from the bank (and, well, the entire city). When Harry falls into the water, he gets a glimpse into Voldemort's head, and it's not good: Voldemort knows they're after his Horcruxes, and he's furious.
Return to Hogwarts
Oh, and the vision has one redeeming feature: when Voldemort's thoughts turn to Hogwarts, Harry understands that one of the Horcruxes is almost certainly present. So he and the gang return to the location to see if they can locate it.
When they arrive in Hogsmeade (the town near Hogwarts), they set off some kind of magical alarm, which alerts the Death Eaters to their location.They seek shelter in an adjacent house, whose owner is none other than Aberforth Dumbledore. Yes, Albus Dumbledore is Harry Potter's brother.
He's the person Harry's been seeing in the little magic mirror he's been carrying around, it turns out. Aberforth sent Dobby to assist Harry at the end of the previous film, and now he makes himself useful (after some balking) by assisting the youngsters in gaining access to the school via a secret entrance hidden under one of his paintings.
It's chaos once Harry arrives at school. Outside the school, Voldemort appears and threatens to cause all kinds of havoc if Harry is not turned over within an hour. The Order of the Phoenix appears, ready to battle alongside the rest of the students and teachers (except Slytherin, of course).
It's going to be a fight, you guys.
But Harry isn't ready to fight just yet because he needs to find the Horcrux that has been hidden in the school.With Luna's help, he deduces that the artefact is most likely Rowena Ravenclaw's misplaced diadem, and that the only way to find out where it is is to speak with the Grey Lady (Ravenclaw Tower's resident ghost).
The Grey Lady (a.k.a. Rowena Ravenclaw's deceased daughter) finally gives Harry what he wants after some coaxing: the crown is in the Room of Requirement. As a result, Harry dashed over there.
Unfortunately, things go wrong there as well (what, did you expect this story to be easy at any point?). Because Harry has Malfoy's wand and Malfoy wants it back, Malfoy and his lackeys, Crabbe and Goyle, trail Harry inside the chamber.
Snakes that are slick
But, in any case, Harry has accomplished his objective: he has the Horcrux. They shatter the diadem with a fang stolen from the Chamber of Secrets by Hermione and Ron.
The destruction of the diadem causes Harry to get another flash of Voldemort's thoughts, for Voldemort has strong reactions whenever these Horcruxes go bye-bye. As a result, he learns that Nagini is the final Horcrux, and Voldemort considers how to keep her safe.
To figure out where to look for Voldemort, Harry goes back into Voldemort's head and discovers that Voldemort and the snake have gone to talk to Snape by the sea. Harry has figured out where they need to go.
When they arrive, Voldemort begins attacking Snape, believing that this is the only way to ensure the Elder Wand's allegiance belongs to him. When Harry rushes to Snape for assistance, Snape makes Harry wipe away his tears so he can view his memories in the Pensieve in Dumbledore's office. Snape then passed away while staring into Harry's eyes.
Then, to everyone on the Hogwarts grounds, Voldemort issues another public service announcement: Harry must meet him in the Forbidden Forest soon, or Voldemort will kill everyone who is assisting him. These kids are on the verge of running out of time.
Tears and Fears
Before worrying about anything, Harry returns to the castle to see Snape's tears in the Pensieve, but he has to walk through a lot of carnage. Fred Weasley, Tonks, and Lupin have all passed away. Harry is upset, but he understands that he must complete his task, which includes sifting through his memories for whatever Snape wants him to see.
And it's a doozy of a recollection. All of the details can be found in the thorough report, but the two most important things we gain from memory are:
Snape has always remained faithful to Dumbledore. And he only killed Dumbledore because Dumbledore, who was already dying, asked him to.
It turns out that Voldemort unintentionally created one more Horcrux: Harry. As a result, Harry must die in order for Voldemort to perish. So, that's a bit of terrible news.
In disbelief, Harry leaves Dumbledore's office and rushes straight to the Forbidden Forest. There, Harry let Voldemort unleash the Killing Curse on him. Yes, exactly like that.
Isn't it time for "The End"?
So Long, Noseless One
Well, not quite. Harry appears to be in some form of limbo after Voldemort "kills" him, conversing with Dumbledore. While the portion of Voldemort that existed within him has been killed, he (Harry) can still choose to return to the land of the living and continue battling.
He appears to be tempted to stay with Dumbledore and avoid the turmoil, but Harry isn't about to abandon his comrades to battle and die without him.
So he returns to the living world and pretends to be dead for a short time in order to catch Voldemort off guard. Voldemort is so weak after Neville kills Nagini that when Harry and he cast dueling spells against each other, Harry's spell overtakes his and he vanishes into thin air.

How Yu-Gi-Oh 5D’s is like Superman!
Hi guys, sorry for not posting much I was busy with my writing. Today I'm going to be covering a theory I was thinking about today--Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's is inspired by Superman! Here's why:
Tumblr media
Yusei Fudo always has a serious look on his face, he does smile at times, just as Superman does. While Yusei doesn't have a secret identity; he did keep Leo and Luna in the dark about who he was and warned them not to get too close for comfort. Despite this; Yusei shows compassion like Superman does.
Tumblr media
As a child; Yusei was born while his parents completed their project named after him. But then, the lab was going to explode so in his desperate attempt, Dr. Fudo put his infant son in a pod to save his life while he and his wife died in the explosion. Baby Yusei was found by a woman name Martha who came from the Satellite. I mean, it's pretty clear that Yusei shares this past life with Clark Kent/Kal-El.
Tumblr media
Funny thing, guess who found Clark and Yusei when they were infants? Women named Martha. Martha Kent, Martha Fudo. Get it? Isn't that insane?! Coincidence?
Tumblr media
Rex Goodwin is more tame than Lex ever was but he still was evil. He had committed heinous acts such as locking up Yusei's friends from the Satellite and if Yusei doesn't accept being in the Fortune Cup Duel, well...yeah....Rex and Lex, heh heh it rhymes. Also they both are villains that maintain a good publicity and hide their true intentions of what they really are.
Tumblr media
Mikage/Mina is more meek, strong willed and kind than Mercy here. She started off as Goodwin's secretary, but then she changed sides. Mercy never did so, she wasn't meek, she was bitchy yet blunt and outspoken. She's smug AF, Mikage/Mina isn't smug. She is intelligent like Mercy but she's not a bitch. Not even close!
Tumblr media
The Satellite is the place where Yusei grew up, the place is full of trouble, people from working class and how people from New Domino City wouldn't take too kindly from folks of the Satellite. Well, I don't think anyone from Smallville wasn't discriminated against from being from that small town. I think Clark really proved himself of being an outstanding reporter like Yusei eventually did down the line.
Tumblr media
Metropolis is bigger and fancier than Smallville's small town...Haha! Get it? NVM! New Domino City is the fancy life and being a big city, anyone who's anyone is exclusive as it seems. But also people within New Domino City would turn their nose up from anyone from the Satellite or someone who is considered a scapegoat. Don't think anyone from Metropolis does this to anyone from Smallville...Not to my knowledge. If anyone knows from the comics or if I missed anything, please let me know. Much appreciated!

5D’s Episode 29… With an “Uncut” Dub?! (Re-Edited 4Kids Dub/Japanese OST)
“A Looming Threat! The Dark Signer Ushio?!”/”Good Cop, Bad Cop”
Everybody listen!
Well, after over 2.5 years now (...welp), this little mini-project is finally wrapped up! (Well, not totally, as I realized I have to go back and fix a few things for consistency, but y’know) It’s been neat editing these to throw the Japanese OST back in, and while I might do a few clips here/there now for fun, unless 4K/Konami Cross Media decide to flub up more episode uploads without their dub OST, I probably won’t be doing more full episodes. (Need to work on finalizing my GX subs finally, haha.)
But in case this is still the first you’re hearing about my mini-project here, let’s get you up to speed:
So, the official Spanish YGO channel on YouTube flubbed a few uploads of the 5D’s dub such that they ended up uploading a few episodes of the English dub instead of the Latin American dub (21-29)–but with none of 4Kids’s background music! Which meant that I could swoop in and re-insert the original Japanese soundtrack (which I did by matching each track to how it was looped in the episode), but I wanted to do more by also tweaking the dub itself so that not only was it matching the original footage, but the dialogue was more in line with the original dialogue timing-wise (since I couldn’t salvage much of what they changed).  Hence, the “dubbed uncut” gimmick here.  To this end, I’ve also used dialogue from Duel Links where applicable, or even borrowed audio from other episodes with the vocals isolated to lend to that effect.
Check out the masterpost of episodes here!
Check out this episode’s WIP videos! WIP #1     WIP #2     WIP #3
This was an interesting one to work with, and I was looking forward to it because of the Jack/Carly scene at the end over Jack Battle; it was also neat working in OSTs like Ceremony off Sound Duel 2 and mesh it with the dub, while recreating some of the OST tweaks they did (like speeding up Carly’s theme or sputtering Rua/Ruka Battle 2 as Jack calls Carly out lol).  Dialogue-editing-wise, this wasn’t as bad as 28, thankfully, as most of the dialogue was more or less adapted well, though I still did need to grab dialogue from other sources to cover for some dub fails, and I did grab audio from episode 30′s dub for the preview.  I also translated the “Road of the King” poster shown in four scenes (two outside the gala that happens and two inside as Godwin talks), using the dub’s “Atlas Rising - The Rise of Jack Atlas” name.  And since this is the last episode I’m working on, I thought it’d be cool to make use of Mark de Groot’s awesome Last Train - A New Morning English cover to really channel more of that “what if uncut” energy (just a shame no solid English CROSS GAME cover exists, but hopefully my eventual full translation when I post it will help that along). Full breakdown below, if you’re curious.
So, yeah... Enjoy, folks! Now that these are all done, I’ll be focusing more on my finalizing my GX subs and looking into finally reuploading my 5D’s sub/dub comparisons onto a new site, though this has made me want to revisit my 5D’s!DBZ Kai project occasionally, lol (I do want to see about using TheMilkman’s reduced-filler cut of Kai, though, as I thought it was a much more streamlined way to watch the show, but we’ll see).  I do have ideas for clips to create later on, but for now, enjoy these and think of what could have been (and could still be if we ever miraculously get a redub...)~
*cracks knuckles*
So, in the Noteworthy Cards section, the twins’ dialogue is still all from Duel Links, as I stitched together a “What will this Monster be?” line for Luna to match Ruka’s line, and recycled the “You get to see!” edit I used in 27 for Leo.
For the cold open, I tweaked Trudge’s dialogue to remove more of the “working together” fluff from the subplot they added (I removed the more overt mentions in 28 since I couldn’t edit around it).
*cue Last Train*
In Carly’s scene with the officer, I recreated the Carly Nagisa theme as used here, which was pitched and sped up by nine seconds, and replaced the one officer’s line about her needing to go outside with Carly gasping (since the officer was originally silent).  Once outside, I used a mix of lines from 27 and Duel Links to stitch together a better line about her fortune matching the original more, then did so again over the transition shots to the Road of the King/Atlas Rising red-carpet event (where the dub inserted a commercial break).
At said red-carpet event, I used a Duel Links line to make Carly’s “Angela! Didn’t see you!” line after bumping into Angela “No way! Angela!” to match the original.
Once the ROTK/Atlas Rising gala starts, I used the Japanese audio from the transition to it to after Godwin steps down the stairs to remove dub!MC’s added lines, then shortened Goodwin’s lines hyping up the movie so it all finished while he was onscreen, using the Japanese audio as the audience clapped.  When Yusei and Jack start hearing the movie on their TV screens, I used Duel Links lines to make Jack’s movie dialogue match what was said in those scenes originally (and the dub was inconsistent), and after Angela calls bull on the movie’s “Jack was born in the Tops” narrative, I kept the reporters prodding Godwin in Japanese with a subbed line because of how 4Kids edited them such that they kept speaking in turns within a shorter scene.  As Carly looks up at the movie before running off, I used a Duel Links line for Jack in the movie, and as she talks with Misty, I shortened Misty’s (fluffed in the dub) foreshadowing line to Carly to match the flaps.
I didn’t edit the scene with Yusei and Trudge much, and then as Carly bumps into a reporter outside Jack’s hospital, I wanted to remove the cameraman’s “We’re still live!” (since he was originally quiet, and you wouldn’t talk over a live shot like that lol) but the reporter’s “I’ll show you sorry” line overlapped with it, making a clean cut hard.  When Carly makes it inside, I shortened her (fluffed in the dub) line about her costume working, then as Trudge walks in, I switched to the Japanese audio to remove his “only doing this to get close to Goodwin” dub-only line, and kept the dub’s Dark Signer birthmark SFX as it appears on Trudge (since the JP version seems to just use the regular Signer one for it).
After the eyecatch, I used the Japanese audio as Mikage peels the apple (since Mina was humming), then switched to it again after Jack says he wants to be alone to deal with the dub cutting Mikage’s bow and removing Mina’s “call me if you need... anything” line).  Once Jack’s outside with Carly and possessed!Trudge walks up to them, I redid the Dark Signer birthmark SFX and the glowing right after to remove the dub’s added zoom-in SFX, then after Jack gasps, I switched to the Japanese audio to remove the dub’s added flashback-transition SFX.  As Carly flashes back to possessed!Dick’s dueling in 28, I added in the “whooshing” SFX and recycled some SFX from 28 to remove “Wipe his mark clean!” from possessed!Dick’s dialogue and adding "Blizzard Strike!!” from my edit in 28 to it, also recycling Yusei’s yelling/groaning to keep Carly quiet--her on-screen “A glowing mark like Yusei” line right after is recycled from 28 (Carly’s original line was “That glowing on his arm...”).  Used Japanese audio as Ushio activates his Disk, then stitched together a “You’re a Dark Signer?!” line for Jack to replace his “I seriously doubt [I’ll be the first to fall]” line to Trudge.  I vocal-isolated Carly’s “Yusei won” line after Jack asks when Yusei’s happened and put it just before he does, replacing Carly introducing herself (which doesn’t happen originally until just before the last turn), and using the Japanese audio for the SFX as Jack looks determined.  I used a Duel Links line to cover Jack using Carly’s name just before he has her use his Duel Disk, and then the duel starts.
I recycled a Trudge “It’s my move” line from later to remove his “Let’s cut the conversation” line (I did what I could to remove how conversational they made possessed!Trudge) over the 4000 LP shots, and then I vocal-isolated parts of Carly’s excited lines about dueling with Jack to remove the dub’s flashback-transition SFX (which they used over a vision...), recreating the Rua/Ruka Battle 2 theme playing here and the sputtering that happens when she declares her turn only for Jack to correct her and say it’s his, lol.  I vocal-isolated Jack dialogue from later in the series to use a proper Vice Dragon effect explanation over Jack’s trash-talk line to Trudge, then did the same for a Carly line in 37 to fix an error where she mentions Vice Dragon having 2400 ATK (as I thought it’d sound better than “twenty-hundred” lol).  I shortened Carly’s and Jack’s (fluffed-up in the dub) lines about his being a “once-great duelist,” then recycled some Trudge laughter to cover for his “Hey, has-been!” line; as Carly sends cards to the Graveyard for Warm Worm’s effect, I redid the Graveyard-sending SFX to remove her “That’s how this works” line and the dub’s add-on to that SFX, adding on a Jack “What’s going on?” thought per the JP script.  As Carly reacts to having to send more cards per Shield Worm’s effect, I switched to the JP audio as the split-screens happen and the cards are sent to use those SFX.
As Carly declares another turn but catches herself, I used an “It’s my turn!” line from Jack to remove his “Let me see my cards” line, then tweaked Carly’s line to fix an error where she has Strong Wind Dragon take out Shield Worm in a “direct attack” so it’s “take out Shield Worm and attack!”; I vocal-isolated the resulting “Dimwit!” and “Did I mess up?” lines from Jack and Carly to remove the dub’s split-screen SFX.  As Trudge brings back Shield Worm with Regretful Rebirthborn, I moved his line about its effect so it started while he was onscreen per the JP script, also removing his “you and your little assistant” fluff, and I vocal-isolated Jack’s “Not as sorry as Trudge is going to be” thought to remove the dub’s added zoom-in SFX, using part of the JP audio to use that SFX, and then using the JP SFX as Carly sends the cards to their Graveyard.  Having removed Jack’s fluff here as there was a dub commercial break inserted, I tweaked a Duel Links “From my hand” line to use before he declares his Twin-Shield Defender summon, using the JP audio for the summon itself.
I moved Trudge’s “It’s my turn then” a second or two earlier, then used the JP audio after he summoned his Worm Tokens as the split-screens and counter fly-ins happen, then vocal-isolated part of Trudge’s line after to remove the dub’s split-screen SFX, and I used the “chaos” part of one of Trudge’s Duel Links lines to try and fix the dumb “Dark Tuner Chaos-Rogue Catastrogue” error (which I do 2-3 more times), using the JP audio as Chaos-Rogue’s summoned.  I moved Jack’s “What’s this Dark Tuning business all about?” line a second or two later to remove his use of Carly’s name, then used the JP audio from where Chaos-Rogue starts tuning to the Worm Token glowing to remove Carly’s added line about Dick Dark Tuning, and used the JP audio as Dark Diviner/Pitch-Dark Zumwalt’s summoned.  I redid the SFX as Carly sends cards to the Graveyard per Chaos-Rogue’s effect to move part of Trudge’s line attacking with Dark Diviner earlier (since 4Kids cut a second or two from this shot), and then vocal-isolated part of Trudge’s line about Dark Diviner’s effect to remove the dub’s split-screen SFX.  I switched to the JP audio as Carly sends cards to the Graveyard after as I moved Trudge’s line a bit to shorten it, then after Carly shields Jack from the attack, I vocal-isolated part of his line to Trudge to remove the dub’s split-screen SFX and used a Duel Links line to extend his dialogue (which 4Kids shortened); I also vocal-isolated Trudge’s line after to remove the dub’s split-screen SFX.
As Carly apologizes to Jack, I used a “Well?” from Duel Links for him to remove his guessing Carly’s name now that she properly introduces herself, and then vocal-isolated their lines as they start their turn to remove the dub’s split-screen SFX.  I used the JP audio after they draw, then again when they activate Mind Trust, vocal-isolating part of Jack’s line to remove the dub’s split-screen SFX and stitching together various lines to extend Jack’s explanation of its effect by adding a mention that it’s a Tuner with half the Level of the Monster he releases that he’s adding to his hand (4Kids cut this short and he just says “to pull a weaker Monster”).  I added a whoosh as the screen goes up Strong Wing Dragon to match the original audio, then as Dark Resonator’s summoned, I used the JP audio as the ATK counter flies in (but at a lower volume, since 4Kids moved Jack’s dialogue about the summon to during the summon itself, since Jack’s lips weren’t moving when he originally said them while onscreen), and stitched together a “Dark Resonator tunes with Twin-Shield Defender” line to remove the “tune-up” line, using Duel Links lines for Jack’s Exploder Dragonwing chant.  I vocal-isolated part of his explanation of its effect to remove the dub’s split-screen SFX, and then his line having Exploder Dragonwing attack to remove his “Of course [I still have it], I only lost yesterday” line to Carly, using his Duel Links “King Storm!!” shout for its attack, and switching to the JP audio as the attack hits and causes the explosion.  
As Trudge comes to, I added a Duel Links grunt over a second of lip-flaps that the dub cut, then no real dialogue edits to Carly’s and the reporter’s lines as she runs out with Jack.  Then, as Goodwin meets up with Yusei, I edited his “It’s time I told you the whole truth” line to match the flaps, adding a vocal-isolated “You see” from 26 just before “It’s time I told you the truth,” and used the JP audio after Yusei gasps looking to where he points to end the episode.
In the Preview, as mentioned, I used dialogue vocal-isolated from episode 30 to recreate the JP dialogue, though I did want to use Crow’s “Ready! Set! Duel!” from Duel Links but it wasn’t working too well, so I stuck with his “Time to ride!” from 30 that hopefully still sounds good.
*phew*

The Immortal Swordsman Reborn
SSSS.DYNAZENON: Fuuma explains that Kano had a.ways been cheerful, but she became more withdrawn prior to her death, which is believed to be due to someone called Futaba, Yume never heard of him, he had been club vice president and started dating Kano, and after her song was picked she may have been bullied by other girls, and agrees to share some other videos from the time with Yume. She tells the team she wants to learn more about Kano. Juugabis now willing to kill the team in Order to get Gauma back, Mujina has no opinion of her own and Sizumu is against killing them, believing Dynazenon is the reason kaiju keep appearing. Koyomi meets again with Inamoto-san, recalling him running away after she showed him a hidden bag she'd found, before their table is joined by Arata, her husband, and spend several hours talking, Ararat keeps getting his surname wrong. In Koyomi's room, Chise finds a white seed. Koyomi by chance runs into Mujina. Yomogi and his mother dine with Kamijo again, trying to ignore the conversation. At a bar, Mujina apparently paying, Koyomi moans about Inamoto-san leading him on with her complaints about marriage but then inviting Arata, Mujina says she herself has no wants for herself, which Koyomi relates to, at home Chise continues to brood. Yume gets sent a link for a video of a questionable prank on Kano, arguably bullying, which Kanae was the ringleader of. As Koyomi continues stewing, Mujina spots DynaStriker next to him. Yume thinks in class while watching Ranka and Kaneishi tease Yomogi. Chise decides to train in place of a hungover, who realises he's lost DynaStriker, Gauma is naturally furious, and Koyomi realises Mujina took it. Onija wants to use it to rampage, Juuga wants it to bargain with Gauma, Sizumu wants to return it, asking what Mujina wants. Gauma is able to use DynaDiver to track it, Yume rejects help from Yomogi, and the argument continues to Mujina's annoyance as Gauma and Koyomi arrive, Chise sneakily followed. Koyomi charges in and tackles Mujina, enabling Gauma to grab DynaStriker, his attack attempt fails. Sizumu asks if Yume is okay, then passes Yomogi as he leaves, the pair soon get called. The current Kaiju, Bullbind is not responding to Onija's attempts to Instance Domination, Sizumu convinces Mujina it needs her, and she awakens the enormous quadraped, shared with Onija. Gauma is bothered by the whole team seeming depressed before they jump into action. Dynazenon is helpless against Bullbind's gravity manipulation, and as Mujjna asks if that's all they've got even Onija notices a character change in her. The pilots sans Gauma are also crushed under the weight of their worries, but Gauma is able to pull through and switch to DynaRex, but even then it's hopeless against Bullbind. As Sizumu senses something, from the sky appears a purple giant. I definitely expected a guest appearance from at least somebody from SSSS.GRIDMAN before the end, we know that Gridman, and now the Assist Weapons can appear in various worlds. But the fact that it's GridKnight appearing, maybe we're in Akane's world after all?
Heroes' Odyssey: Z joins Zero while Haruki is asleep, and tells him about Ultroid Zero, and the reaction of Kaiju to it, the 3 way battle between Z, Juggler and Celebro, Ultroid Zero's rampage, it's evolution into Destrudos and defeat of Z, followed by the beginning of STORAGE's operation against it.
Saber: The Northern Base members regroup. Kento notes that minor details of the future are changing, but the end remains the same, this time there's a vision of Sophia seemingly deliberately taking Luna's place in the spell tight before the world is unmade. Master Logos orders the Shindais to watch Touma and capture Luna should she appear, and hints he may release Bacht, which Ryoga is against. As soon as the siblings leave he releases Bacht, refusing to give him the Book of Ruin, but offering him the chance for revenge on the Swordsmen, Bacht is intrigued by how different he is from past Masters. Saber and Saikou duel, Touma hoping to recreate the conditions to see Luna, but while Rekka glows, Wonder Story doesn't react. Bacgt arrives, Yuri stating his intent to seal him again. Saber and Falchion fight, Reika watching at a distance, when Touma's books, Rekka and Wonder Story all react Falchion takes note and stops, intrigued that Touma is the chosen one. The void opens again, but again vanishes before Touma or Reika can do anything. Rintaro, Ogami and Daishinji look for Ren. Yuri explains that he, Bacht and another were Swordsmen, until one day in a battle against Megiddo, one of their own killed Bacht's family, causing him to lose himself, believing humans would always betray one another and so sought to end the world, leading Yuri to wield Saikou and Kurayami against him. Ryoga confronts Rintaro, who is able to use his new abilities to counter Kaiji's time ability, when Falchion arrives, initially fighting Durandal until he flees, he then survives Blades to backstab, preparing to kill as Touma, Mei, Yuri arrive. Bacht tells Touma he'll become more powerful and destroy everything, something Kento affirms on arrival, Yuri admonishes his lack of faith in Touma, leading Bacht to call him a hypocrite, Yuri acknowledging he had not had faith in humanity before meeting Touma. Jaou Dragon battles Eternal Phoenix, soon joined by X Swordman and Elemental Dragon, Saikou asks Caliber to help seal Bacht, but he refuses, and a finisher from Caliber and Falchion strikes Saikou, who expresses his envy of Kento for the faith Touma has in him before vanishing, leaving Saikou and his books. Caliber does prevent Falchion from attacking Saber, but in the confusion Reika manages to steal Saikou, Kin no Buki, Gin no Buki and X Swordman. As Saber and Caliber face Falchion, Touma's emotions flair, causing the reaction of his books again, and as they defeat Falchion, Luna appears behind the Swordsmen, returned at last.
Zenkaiger: As part of his promise, Zox is making the others pay for things, he spots Mahiru World and chases, a squad of Kudakks holding the Zenkaigers save Zyuran and Kaito. When Mahiru World takes a hostage, Zox doesn't care, Kaito arriving uses Megaranger to Cyber Slider in to save the hostage. An annoyed Kaito chases Zox onto CrocoDaiOh, demanding explanations until a frustrated Flint shows a picture of the Goldtsuikar family, with Riki and Katana as humans. Flint was able to reverse engineer Tojitendo tech so they could travel between worlds, and while they were in SDtopia the brothers got trapped in their current forms, and they can't get back to undo it because SStopia is now a Tojiru Gear, and they can't get into Kikaitopia to steal the gear, Kaito brings up his parents. Boccowaus is annoyed about Twokaiser still being a threat, Gefe trying to calm him, Barashitara believes an alliance is possible. The team discusses things, Zyuran and Magine don't know if they're worth worrying about. It's then people start noticing it's still noon, and start feeling the effects, still working well past they would normally, but the team doesn't realise anything is actually wrong until seeing a news report from Brazil, where it's also noon. Being in space, the Goldtsuikar's have been unaffected, but there are many lights in the sky. Zox hunts down Mahiru World, and fights him as Twokaiser, there being plenty of collateral damage as the Zenkaigers arrive, saving civilians from rubble. Zox thinks this risk of life is stupid, risking never finding his family. As Twokaiser uses Shinken Form, the Zenkaigers change, taking deflected bullets, but still defend the crowd. Switching to Ohren Form, he uses he Choriki Star Knuckle to finish Mahiru World, restoring night. Dai Mahiru World summons way more suns, now the light is blinding, Magine flips out and has ZenkaiOh VrooMagine form, Kaito at the control is barely awake, they darken the sky briefly, but sun viewing glasses do the thing, allowing them to finish things. Everyone falls asleep, Zox fells Flint to leave them as long as they don't get in the way.
Dogengers Nice Buddy: Maid Shitsuji wakes Tanaka up, and shows that Yamashiron and Fukuokaliber have gone to a Great Z show, Ohgaman grabs various items for a day out and drags Tanaka off, nobody noticing he's left his changer. The show is pretty formulaic, Great Z fighting some Karamis, until right as Great Z is meant to get his heroic wind there's the sudden arrival of Yamashiron Kugakusei Mode, inserting himself in the role of the Villain. Aoiron and Daidairon give advice or rebuke, causing I believe Yamashiron to mentally apologise to Midoiron, and then Fukuokaliber appears to highjack the hero spot. Tanaka and the disguised Ohgaman are confused on arrival, Fukuokaliber making a point about heroism to Yamashiron, using the crowd to do so. Gulf appears via Affect System, evidently mid attack on Kitaqman, and is shot by Fukuokaliber. The pair leap into battle, Yamashiron demonstrating his specially modified Nice Buddy gun, Gallia attends to his brother, wondering how they got there. In flashback, immediately after they were teleported away, Great Z admonished El Brave and Kitaqman's heroics while beating them, after knocking down El Brave he gives Kitaqman the chance to fight, expecting him to run, Kitaqman instead relates El Brave's backstory. Great Z gives El Brave some acknowledgment, and an emboldened El Brave fights with all his might, grabbing El Brave, Kitaqman shoots and destroys a drone, thanks to switching with El Brave. Great Z is about to fight harder when he gets a call, and warps all 3 of them. Kitaqman and El Brave appear right next to Fukuokaliber and Yamashiron, while Great Z appeared nearby, next to the Great Z onstage, who he turns to face.
