#YU GI OH SEASON 5 EXPLAINED SERIES#

If you’re not crying just as much as Yugi at the end of that duel, you’re watching it wrong.It's time to duel! ^_^Some info: Most male characters are now female, Reader X Anyone I want, Yugi X Pharaoh(Yugi is still a guy Pharaoh is female)Reader is a senior in high school making him eighteen.Joey = Jenny Tristan = Trista Seto = Senna (Will cover other names as they become more relevant.)Legend: (F/N)First Name_School had just ended, and I was hanging out with my little buddy Yugi, Tea, Trista, and the girl I was currently dueling with Jenny. These episodes on the last disc, with Yugi and the Pharaoh giving it their all in order to prove themselves to each other and effectively terminate their years-long friendship, is emotional torture to watch, and managed to bring me to tears just as easily as the last time I finished watching Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. The duel takes place over the final four episodes, though your emotions will be required during the preparation in the episode prior as well. After this grandiose arc, we finally get to see a proper face-off between Yugi and the Pharaoh in a duel to allow the latter to finally pass – Yugi must defeat the Pharaoh for this to happen. This final arc focuses on two simultaneous stories for a while – The Pharaoh engages in a battle with Yami Bakura with the Ancient Egypt of his memories as the gameboard, while Yugi and the rest of the gang travel this world in order to find the Pharaoh’s real name. Thankfully, this release is easily raised to the status of the best Yu-Gi-Oh! season through its inclusion of the Dawn of the Duel arc 26 episodes of meaty manga adaptation that finally delves into the Pharoah’s past and his name. That arc really screams 4Kids at you, I’m talking from a foot in front of you with a megaphone. Capsule Monsters sees Yugi and his pals in a Pokémon-esque world which for some reason seems to make his companions seem all the more useless than they’ve ever been before. KC Grand Prix is another tournament from Kaiba in his attempt to strip Yugi of his King of Games title there’s really nothing new here after four seasons, although seeing Yugi’s grandfather duel in a lame costume to hide his identity is worth a couple of laughs. Capsule Monsters is 12 episodes of pure boredom right after the disappointing KC Grand Prix filler arc. Personally, I’d have preferred Cinedigm or Manga Entertainment have removed Capsule Monsters from the season line up and release it separately, as its original US DVD release that compiled it into two movies was.

Although initially airing after the series had wrapped up, it takes place between KC Grand Prix and Dawn of the Duel and is included on this release of the fifth season. This Capsule Monsters arc was animated by Studio Gallop but has not seen a Japanese release unlike the Pyramid of Light movie. The US broadcast followed this scheme as well, but a few months after the final episode had aired, a 12 episode 4Kids-funded Capsule Monsters arc was aired. The original Japanese fifth season contains only 40 episodes, split into two arcs, 14 episodes making up the KC Grand Prix arc, and the remaining 26 being titled Dawn of the Duel. Regardless, you’ll be hit with some nostalgia when watching, and may even shed some tears during the final disc as I did.Īfter four seasons of searching for answers, Yugi finally uncovers the secrets of his ancient past! Through the magic of the three Egyptian God Cards, Yugi and his friends are suddenly transported 5,000 years back in time! Now they must battle the ultimate evil force to save the world from devastation, for if the past is destroyed…so is the future! – Manga Entertainment This release is a 7 DVD set, in NTSC format once again, and only contains the 4Kids dub that we all either love, or love to hate.

Manga Entertainment have finally released the fifth, and final, season of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime in the UK, and with 52 episodes that culminate in one hell of an emotional duel between the two halves of Yugi’s soul, Yugi and the pharaoh, buyers are certainly in for a treat, after some suffering though.
