It’s a dark fic but it’s legitimately good, i highly recommend it!

[art-ember]

It was fun being paired with you! And I love that you chose the scene of Mrs. Ohdo comforting Rinnosuke. It's very sweet!

Hello, Swd Fandom! It toon a while (I apolohize for how long) but a discord server has been set up!

This is ao that fans of the older games may connect and talk to each other somewhere since admittedly, the community is very small right now. Or who knows, its actually very big and silent? We'll find out!

The server is very new so not much has happened there yet and it is ny first time setting up roles so I apologize for any technical difficulties with it!

In any case, feel free to join and share around!

Check out the Shall We Date Fans community on Discord - hang out with 4 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

[SPOILERS FOR PHASER ARC GO RUSH SEASON 2]

I know he’s a minor character and stranger stuff has happened in both Sevens and Go Rush but like imagine being Schrödinger or whatever the cat guys sub name was. You are a child around say 13-14, absolutely obsessed with cats and you wear a fursuit head of one at all times, in addition you’ve got some pretty neat hacking skills as a result of being hired by a super tech savvy guy two years ago to beat up some of your fellow 11 year olds. (You didn’t do a very good job at that but its besides the point)

Then one day while you are just sitting in the park and three talking cats (one if which is wearing glasses) come up to you and ask you to hack into the government database so they can check the status of some company that you’ve never even heard the name of. The reason they need this information is because one of these cats is a boy your age who went missing two years ago because he SHOT HIMSELF INTO SPACE in an attempt to save rush duels. He says that all three of them are time travelers and they need to check if he has irreversibly fucked up the timeline forever and also pretty pretty please don’t tell his best friends about this🙏.

So obviously you do as they ask because this is really what your whole life has been leading up to hasn’t it?

Nekoyama is one of my favorite sevens/go rush characters partially because of that ep

Darkcosplayshipping art for this years Yugioh Rarepair Minibang!

It was a reverse bang, so I got to choose the ship! And Souta Hyakumen x Yami Kuroda is very rare and Souta is pretty much forgotten by the yugioh fandom as a whole.

I was partnered up with @ryuuseini who wrote an amazing fic about the two! I absolutely loved it and I hope you all check it out! https://archiveofourown.org/works/65354218

Design/drawing wise, portraying Kuroda was hard because he us always cosplaying. I ended up going with him in partial cosplay of the first character he ever appeared as: Kite! And the background is littered with cosplay items of past cosplays, as well as the Jaden cosplay he is preparing in the fic!

My piece for the 2024 Yugioh Big Bang! @ygobigbang

I got paired up with Aura and their amazing fic "Dear Samsara"!

I decided to draw a scene where Yuga and Yuna assemble Yudias back together after finding him in pieces. Why was he like that? What is Yudias? Why does Yuga have cat ears? Well, check out the story on AO3 and see for yourself!

https://twitter.com/octomaidly/status/1898078542459531625

I was really happy to join this event and hope to be here again next year!

I had a lot of fun drawing Yuga, and yes, I spent way too much time on his hands. I adore Yuga and any versions that involve him being a cat. Yuna took me a while to make look good, but I'm happy with how she turned out! And Yudias's was... interesting to do.

“I can’t find a single book about Maximum summons.”

Our genius student council president, everybody! 😆

[art-ember]

I saw this while looking fir Gakuto pictures and I gotta say... it aged very interestingly.

Since we know Maximums existed in the past, it becomes a geniune question of why aren't there any records. And before someone says that go rush us a seperate tineline, at the time of go rush episode 62 it was still the sevens tineline as the ohdos all proved. And maximums were the whole reason why the phdos even became cats which us what allowed them to go to the future. Now, Nekoyama did say that the digital files were lost, which explains why he couldn't find anything, but why are there no printed records of them? Or dueling just in general?

Grated, I don't remember what episode the gakuto scene wss in or if he said this in sub or just dub.

Old shall we date game fans PLEASE TELL ME YOU’RE STILL OUT THERE

I want to make a server where we can talk about these games, and I have started running a meme account on instagram focusing on the older games. Please tell me there are still fans other than me and the two people I scream about swd games to (cough @nightshadow2518 @shadownight2518 cough)

Just like, rebolg, respond, something! I wanna talk to people about these!

I love BiR, I love Guilty Alice and Lost Alice, I am going insane with Philippe and Jean's connections to every ither game, I am.playing Guard Me Sherlock, Wizardess Heart, Ninja Shadow, Love Tangle, and am looking for any and all lets plays of the ither games. I have fan-fics in the works and one even published (Multifandom Escape. There's a couple of swd characters in it). I did play Obey me and like it, but I want to focus on games OTHER than that. I have drawn fan comics of Angel and Devil, Ninja Assassin, every game I mentioned so far in this post (except obey me). I have Au's, theories, just A LOT.

This is a desperate cry for the fandom, if it's still out there.

I LOVE SEVENS AND GO RUSH AND I HOPE THE NEXT YUGIOH SERIES IS ANOTHER RUSH DUEL SERIES.

[art-ember]

I fully agree with this! I absolutely love the bridge era anime and really want them to continue!!!

[art-ember]

My two cents on the current Otes situation

Major go rush AND sevens spoilers!!!

I don't hate this. Not as much as everyone else by any means.

Now, I would've preferred Yuamu or Kaidoul as Otes as those were a lot more satisfying and made sense and fit with the known Otes lore. But I don't actually hate the fact that Yuhi is Otes.

The reveal scenes were well done, it had emotional impact, and I am excited to see how things will continue!

I was very much dissapointed at first because Yuhi was the most boring option possible, but then again, I was also dissapointed that in Sevens Swirly was the 6th sibling and nowadays I love the fact that Swirly is the 6th sibling, so I genuinely wanna see how this will go! I might be disappointed now, but it might also end up being amazing!

Like, hello, we finally have the biggest mystery in the bridge era revealed??? I wanna see where this goes??? I'm excited! We still have like 2 arcs left, which means 2 arcs of Otes shenanigans, which I am all for!

I WANT to see how Yuhi will do as a villain, how he will do as Otes! I want to see this episode subbed, too, to see the full context of his and Yuamu's conversation.

Tldr: I'm disappointed at the identity, but I don't hate this, and I am excited to see how Go Rush will continue! I am excited that one of the biggest mysteries was finally solved!

[rucheese]

What are your favorite things about the rush era?

Personally, for me, it is how random side characters can become plot-important like Saburamen (Menzaburo Omori) and you can probably write a whole essay about the character.

[art-ember]

I love how the writing gives more atuff to theorize about and mysteries to solve than the previous series. They also use up small details revealed in early episodes late in the series, and I love it because it means every detail is important! They're writing if female characters is so much better too!

Also I love Yuga as a protagonist, and Yuo and Yuamu as a characters and I could write MANY esseys on why I love them so much

[gimmickdreamworld2518]

hot take

Yudias/Kaidoul (I'll explain why later) being Otes is actually interesting and not bad to me.

Yudias doesn't really have a future in Sevens as far as we know. His kind had "exceeded" their purpose. He's been kinda sidelined for a while and the cast hasn't been that much on his side after this Arc. He's selfless but the people around him aren't and now giving up who he is, He isn't gonna be the same anymore. Now there is a loophole to Yudias = Otes is that Otes is was immune to Monster Reborn. Yudias being affected could disprove him as Otes was affected because he was the creator Monster Reborn.

But a friend told me Kaidoul made Monster Reborn in Go Rush which would mean...🤔💥

Edited: I got some screenshots!

Yes it would be easier to assume Asaka because she made the physical card but he created the data and did he research. Without him, Asaka wouldn't have anything to work with

[art-ember]

To add to this, because Kaidoul being Otes makes a lot of sense:

Asaka makes the physical copy on monster reborn in Go Rush, but that doesn’t make her its creator, because in Sevens we see Swirly, Yuo, and the Proprietaress all make physical copies of the card and none of them are considered to be the creators of it. This means the creator of the card is whoever came up with the concept. As in, Kaidoul.

It also explains a lot of the stuff Otes does with the relic in sevens, like moving it around, making holograms appear, ect.

[lucius-zuma]

So not only are we getting Go Rush

But we’re also getting Yuo Goha!

[art-ember]

HELL YEAH!!!

We're getting the best Goga!!!

[art-ember]

It is so wild to scroll down far enough to when Beyraiderz was first airing because I only started watching it like two years ago and it feels strange to see stuff from when it aired.

[real-life-pine-tree]

Dear Bridge Studio animators…

QUIT MAKING THIS FREAKY FUSION SYMBOLISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have ANY IDEA how unnerving I have felt these past few months?!

[gimmickdreamworld2518]

Wait can you explain it to me??? I didn't get to see any of the episode today

[gothgirlover]

Yuna became the mother who stepped up for the dark men, someone had to do it.

[gimmickdreamworld2518]

Yo chill (jk keep it up) I already have a friend who made Goha/Darkmen connections. Mainly color palette and design but it's something

[art-ember]

Hi, I'm that friend. I have an obsession.

I am confused about the Yuna mom thing though- I don't remember it happening
