Bonus Overworld Interactions (5D's Tier 2) - Tag Force Special Re-Translation Update!
(Project Announcement Post)
As a bonus to my recent 5D's update for the re-translation, I thought I'd also show off some bonus unused dialogue that I also translated. Likely left in from TF6, several of the 5D's Tier 2 cast have full sets of dialogue as your Partner (entering a Player or Partner duel, winning/losing/drawing either, entering a Tag Duel together, and winning/losing/drawing), and after figuring out some debugging tricks to change the character ID the game was working with in a few spots, I was able to get them displayed, hehe. We'll see if we ever eventually figure out how to add them as Partners for these to be seen more regularly, but for now...
Entering Player Duel: Rua, Harald, Bommer
Entering Partner Duel: Brave, Z-ONE, Ushio, Rex
Winning Player Duel: Ruka
Losing Player Duel: Jean
Winning Partner Duel: Rudger
Losing Partner Duel: Aporia, Sherry
Entering Tag Duel: Dragan, Carly, Demak
Have to double-check if there were any for GX's Tier 2s, likely mostly left in from TF3 if so...
Yes, I’ve still got stuff to post for this years 5Ds month. I adore the Dark Signers, and wish we could have seen them all together after their own arc ended. It felt like wasted potential to never have them interact again. I for my part think they would have beef with Team Ragnarok, godly rivalries and stuff. Like did you see how the city fawned over the stupid Aesir Gods? With all their “I’ve never seen the likes of this”. I guess the skyscraper big hellgods just didn’t impress them ...
I was going to attempt something epic to express my love of the DS arc but alas my brain is piloted by a small hamster so here’s a meme instead
(& for the love of god if anyone knows who originated it please tell me because I spent half an hour on google, deviantart, and tumblr and found nothing)
Summary: After Carly becomes a Dark Signer, she ponders why she is there. Among people who seek revenge as justice, she has no place. However, Aslla Piscu offers her something better than justice.
Word Count: 500
Carly’s footsteps echoed as she walked around the Old Moment. She felt like a prisoner, even though she could actually leave at any time. Ever since she became a Dark Signer, she felt trapped. The Earthbound Immortal that latched onto her dying soul kept her there. It yearned to be near the negative Moment energy that hung in the air, thick and heavy.
She found the situation all too baffling for her, even though she knew the details. The Earthbound Immortals resurrected all of them to carry out their problems of destroying the world and creating a new, simple enough in concept. She spent hours crying alone in her room at the thought, but the tears had long dried up. The world was fine as it is, she thought.
The Earthbound Immortals offered something in return to their hosts. Which, from talking to the other Dark Signers, just seemed to be revenge. Revenge they thought was justice.
Kiryu wanted to kill Yusei for betraying him and letting him get arrested. Yusei didn’t seem the type.
Misty wanted to kill Aki because she supposedly killed her brother. Carly didn’t believe that, even though she would never say it to her face. Divine was evil enough to kill her, surely he could kill a small child too.
Carly wasn’t even sure what Demak wanted. He said he was part of a cult that hated duel spirits and yearned to destroy them. She didn’t understand any of it, and didn’t care enough to learn more.
Rudger was another kettle of fish entirely. His reasoning for being a Dark Signer never seemed concrete. Hating the Fudo bloodline, hating the City, wanting to create a new world in his image. It made no sense to Carly, nor anyone else in the Old Moment.
Rudger had been a Dark Signer for seventeen years. Carly wondered if his Earthbound Immortal had completely warped his mind. Would hers do the same?
Carly herself? She didn’t even know the answer to that question. Divine had murdered her in cold blood. So, she did the same to him. But now what? She asked herself again and again.
She thought about Jack, and how she loves- no, loved him. Now, that she was dead they could never be together. She knew he loved her back, despite how he had tried to convince her otherwise.
Her Earthbound Immortal invaded her mind when the Old Moment was silent, which was most of the time. It told her that they could be together, if she just cooperated with it. That new world it promised, they could rule it together as king and queen. No one could ever tear them apart again.
Oh, how that sounded good. The longer she sat in silence, listening to the creaking of the Old Moment, the better it sounded. She could feel a smile growing on her face. That would do quite nicely. She thanked Aslla Piscu silently. It would serve her well, and she would do the same.
So how awkward was that Helicopter trip after episode 39?
Like... Bommer/Greiger and Demak were there
So like
Did Bommer have to awkwardly sit next to Carly while she’s crying and taking it all in about being a Dark Signer? Was it only those Four in the copter? QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED.
