HAPPY TEN YEARS OF "SHINJI, YOU'RE HOME"!!!

In the dub of Arc V, seconds after Shinji is properly established as a character, Amanda has the aforementioned line which adds something not ever implied in the original, of which suggests that Shinji considers Crow's house "home", despite not being all that present in the house in scenes during the day that we see. For reasons unknown, the dub saw those two and said "yeah they're roommates. ohhhh yeah, they live together. 👆 and they have three kids. which could mean anything!" And I'll be honest with you: I owe them my life for it.

It's also ten years of "It's Shinji's donut joke, isn't it. You're still recovering. No more jokes- I promise. But if he does try to tell you a knock-knock joke, just do what I do and yell "no one's home!"." Which the dub decided to establish that Shinji has dad jokes. Have I mentioned the dub really added to Guardianshipping lore.

A very messy beginnings of an AU where Yuri valiantly frees Yuya from poor working conditions under Yusho in the entertainment industry, and then they live happily ever after.

(Yuya is a young, promising but overworked idol here, he won't be overworked for long but he will have to live with his father's killer in the foreseeable future).

Shigaraki Tomura & Shimura Tenko (My Hero Academia) vs Yuya Sakaki (Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V)

Shigaraki Tomura & Shimura Tenko (My Hero Academia)

Yuya Sakaki (Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V)

Voting ended onJul 17

Please let me know if I used the wrong image or tags for either character! I do my best, but I'm not in every fandom.

Propaganda for Shigaraki Tomura & Shimura Tenko:

Canonical ‘child’ version of himself in his mind that’s different from ‘himself,’ also just… all the shit that happened when he was a kid makes it really easy to read him as a traumagenic system w amnesia

Propaganda for Yuya Sakaki:

Yuya is one of the 4 counterparts split from his original self, Zarc, together with the creation of 4 different dimensions. Throughout the series, he takes in one of his counterparts Yuto, with whom he can communicate. By the end, all the 4 counterparts are inside of Yuya, and are shown to be able to communicate with him and each other in a headspace.

One of my favourite things about Zexal is the way Tron treats Yuma.

Tron doesn't even know Yuma is involved until he's kidnapped Haruto and Yuma, some kid, rocks up next to Kaito. III and IV duel them both and Kaito is as emotionally compromised and easily trapped as expected, but this kid pulls out a Number, then a Chaos Number, then Astral the original Number, then reveals himself as Kazuma's son and carries Kaito's sorry ass to victory.

And like, Tron takes this shit SUPER SERIOUSLY. He doesn't make the same mistake Kaito does and repeatedly underestimate Yuma, he expects Yuma to be a legitimate threat.

He sends III to defeat Yuma and is confident III can win and will stick by him no matter how much Yuma tries to befriend him. But just to be safe, he gives III magical genetic surgery that allows him to use an otherwise lethal Number and the ability to destroy Yuma's mind. And he STILL predicts that Yuma can get through all this and gives III another card that will DESTROY THE ENTIRE WORLD because if Yuma really is that strong, he'll almost definitely be able to stop Tron's revenge plan A, so he'll settle for just ending the world instead.

None of this works, of course. III is defeated and Yuma manages to stop the world from ending by being just that fucking gay.

So Tron goes after Shark, wipes his mind and turns his desire for vengeance against Yuma. He wasn't expecting Shark to beat him like that, of course. He knew Yuma would respond to this by taking Shark's Number away to free his mind.

This creates a situation where Tron cannot lose. Option 1 is Shark watches the one guy who cares about him kill himself over Shark's bad choices, breaking his spirit and making him even easier to control. Option 2 is Yuma gives the Number back to save his life but get defeated by a Tron-controlled Shark. Option 3 is Yuma defeats Shark himself, breaking his own spirit enough to no longer be a threat to Tron.

And of course, none of this works. Yuma's simple-minded kindness leads Shark to banish his own Number and end the duel with Yuma's victory, giving up his chance at revenge to save Yuma's life. Obviously Tron is livid at this.

But the thing that gets me is that when Tron's dueling Kaito, he watches Yuma dive headfirst off a thousand-foot drop to foils his plans yet again and all he can do us smile and say "what an energetic kid."

Tron has equal parts respect (fear) and respect (admiration) towards Yuma. And it's not like Edo Arc-V secretly wanting Yuya to defeat him and end his inner conflict. Tron REALLY wants his revenge and knows he has to hurry the fuck up and lock in before Yuma can stop him.

Tron is one of my favourite villains in all of fiction and I'm so glad Zexal took every opportunity to make him so interesting

had a dream haaland (yes that haaland) tried to court jaden but chazz got mad and pulled jaden closer while flipping haaland off

also for some reason they were both wearing wedding dresses. anyway this composition and angle was so specific in my dream even the blue background so i redrew it to the best of my ability

[checkurselfb4umachuwreckurself]

him hitting this face after being asked to keep his older brother under control is so funny. I don't think he's capable of all that and I think he knows it.
