遊戯王！5Ds

遊戯王！5Ds　デュエルモンスターズ (Duel Monsters)
Season 3 of  遊戯王!Yu-Gi-Oh! (there's already season 4...gosh am i outdated.....=/)

BEWARE!!! SPOILERS!!

I did post about Yu-Gi-Oh! Gx before~ here---> Yu-Gi-Oh! Gx post

Summary:

Just like every season, each season has a main character. For 5Ds the main character is Fudo Yusei 不動游星. 5Ds stands for 5 Dragons by the way, which describes the 5 main characters and their respective dragon synchro monsters. Now, lets just go straight to the point shall we?

If you know about Yu-Gi-Oh! already, these are the new stuff about 5Ds:

1. futuristic settings... (neo domino city of the future...which is way way wayyyyy after 1st and 2nd season)

2. characters of similar personality with the 1st generation (eg. yusei and yami yugi, jack atlas and kaiba seto)

3. dueling on motorbikes!! motorbike integrated with dueling system is known as D-wheel, and this type of duel is known as Riding Duel. ( there are a few new special rules introduced for Riding duel such as the use of speed spells and speed counters.) lots of cool bike stunts~~!!

4. if the 1st generation was about ancient, gx about aliens and universe, 5ds may be about time (past, present future, more focused on future though)

5. Synchro Monsters - new types of cards that can be special summoned with a tuner monster and a normal monster. There's also accel synchro, double synchro etc variations in the latter episodes.

6. remember kuriboh and hanekuriboh??? now we have KURIBON~ not used by the main character but oh well~....cute as usual

7. has lesser episodes compared to the 1st n 2nd season

If you don't know what Yu-Gi-Oh! is....again...i suggest you watch the 1st season so that u get a better understanding on what's going on. But i'll just mention a few points of this anime:

1. Value of friendship/ teamwork - as the previous seasons, 5Ds also stress on friendship and teamwork...however, there was more of teamwork since the tournament is in a team. 

2. Believe - believe is shown but slightly differently than the 1st and 2nd season, as it includes on more aspect to believe in the future~ (as in believe in making/creating ur own future rather than leaving it to destiny. Everyone has a right to control/decide their future, here it shows how the main characters gone through frustrations, happiness, obstacles etc and how they eventually decide their own individual pathways)

3. variations & combinations of synchro monsters - its interesting to see the different type of synchro monsters~

now~~~ picha time~
