The plot starts off by promising something an interdimensional war between different factions that use different methods of monster summoning. The problem is that they get fairly little screen time when compared to the massively played up four main dragons, which are some of the worse of the ugly machine-like designs I've mentioned earlier and they only get worse with their evolved forms. I won't deny there are a few exceptions, Fluffals and Predator Plants coming to mind as monsters with actual cool concepts behind them. Also, while this could be argued to be a problem with most modern Yu-gi-oh series, the amount of times the summon animations and chants of major monsters get repeated gets pretty aggravating, especially when due to the designs and mediocre CG they're usually not even cool the first time. The animation quality is occasionally decent, but there are frequently episodes where you can tell the bare minimum budget or effort was put forth to make it look good. The designs that aren't this are usually very cutesy cartoon stuff which is fairly subjective in terms of appeal, but personally I found it pretty awful. They also just turn into horrible clusters of many colors and sticking out pieces that really just gets kind of ugly and unpleasant to look at. Many characters just have monsters where their designs all just feel like chrome machine-like things, and get very repetitive in their designs very fast.

The very conspicuous looking CG appearance of most significant monsters in the series is pretty awkward, and the visual design of most cards really leaves a lot to be desired. I can't tell you how many times I thought the series was building up to something cool, only for the result to just come out as something completely pathetic and anti-climactic.īefore we get into the plot, I figure I will throw a mention to the visuals of the series because it really needs to be said, they're bad. The early parts of Arc-V, if there was proper payoff, would really not be all that bad, its just the series takes a downright insulting approach to playing off said buildup. The problem here is that this is a series where the appeal of the early parts is the mysteries and concepts that get established, that you look forward to being resolved later. On, and a lot of actually kind of interesting character premises. Technically speaking, it does have a functional and even expansive plotline, a good amount of buildup especially early I imagine, especially for people who have not watched the series the whole way through, a 1/10 grade might come across as kind of extreme for this series. That said, a lot of the big events of the story really have to be brought up at least in some form to explain why its so bad. In the case of the spoilers, I will be vague to try not to completely ruin all the surprises for someone who does choose to watch this series. Thus, the mysteries that surround Pendulum Summoning and Yuuya's father start to unravel, and Yuuya learns bit by bit what it takes to become an Entertainment Duelist. As a result, Reiji Akaba, CEO of Leo Corporation and founder of the elite Leo Duel School, starts producing new Pendulum Cards to incorporate Pendulum Summoning into the system. His pendant begins glowing, turning his cards into Pendulum Cards, which enables him to perform a Pendulum Summon-a summoning method unknown to the world and himself-gaining him fame overnight. Several years later, in the midst of a battle with Strong Ishijima, Yuuya's desperation to win brings forth a miracle. Although scarred by this sudden leave, Yuuya vows to become an Entertainment Duelist like his father. However, at the height of his fame, Yuusho disappears and fails to attend his duel with Strong Ishijima, the Action Duel champion. Yuusho insists that duels are not a tool of war, but rather are to bring smiles to people and thus introduced the concept of Entertainment Dueling. Yuuya Sakaki is Yuusho Sakaki's son, the latter being the founder of You Show Duel School in Miami City. Due to an evolutionary breakthrough, the "Solid Vision" system is now able to provide Duel Monsters with mass. Action Duels, which allow duelists to soar and swing alongside their Duel Monsters, are taking the world by storm.
