I have just updated additional details of [GX DVD Rental] that many people are curious what they are. Actually, they are different from DVD Duel Boxset, having released for rent only in Japan. DVD Duel Boxset is for commercial sale. An rental DVD and VHS is released montly in Japan, containing only 4 episodes per box. Thus, you may not find them else where unless you go to a rental store in Japan.

Ran's deck list and Sho's deck list have been updated as well. I plan to finish one episode summary this week, maybe episode 55. Give me a bit time on this job ne~

Actually, my site doesn't focus on OCG card/game, but I just want to announce something that most people usually ask me through e-mail. [Three Legendary Demon~Sangenma] have been officially scheduled to be released in Japanese [Shadow of Infinity] pack on November 17, 2005.

Their effects and images are released in the latest V-Jump. Other GX promoted cards coming with this pack are [Antique Gear Cannon] and [Antique Gear Factory] of Professor Chronos...(I can't remember which episode Professor Chronos plays Antique Gear Cannon. Perhaps, he may play it in the future). For further about these cards and this booster pack, let's move to my forum. Many people are discussing a lot out there ^^.

During this period is my reviewing and fixing time. I have to fix many mistakes in my own pages especially image gallery and card pages. Don't be surprised if there is no much update announcement. It's just the maintenance time for us~

Full summaries of GX episode 54 is finally done by Penguin Zero. Thanks for his great job. Also, Judai's deck list and Kenzan's deck list have been updated following the episode show. I create the second deck of Judai following people's request. Actually, he still plays E-Hero deck with regular main monsters like Featherman, Bubbleman etc. I hope it may be easier to look up and track his decks that contain a ton of cards. Luckily, Judai and Manjyome's OCG structure decks have already been released. You guys have a chance to try their real decks now ^^.

It's time to see Yuki Judai's voice dubber perform. Here is what people have been asked for. The PV or music video of [Wake Up Your Heart] performed by KENN at Nab's is released in my Trophy's forum. Again for someone who doesn't know. I mostly first release my stuffs in the forum to expand bandwidth. When most people get them from the forum, I will release it on my site normally. You can get it without joining the forum only if I release it later.

It seems that my team has updated something while I was away. Thanks for their help. Actually, I am trying to let my team update GX section as much as I can because I become more busy with my study. However, my team usually doesn't post any announcement of the update stuffs. Please, therefore, come in and check my GX section by youself. This is gonna last until my mid-term exam finishes next week T_T.

I can't say what else my team updated T_T. It seems that they updates some stuffs in cards, voice dubber , and anime sections. Full summary of GX episode 53 seem to be updated by [Penguin Zero] as same as the character decks. For the new voice dubbers in the second season, have you noticed that many seiyuu from Gundam Seed Destiny join GX voice dubber's team? The second season of GX also seems involved with the destiny (D-Hero ~ Destiny Hero Deck of Ed Phoenix and the destiny fortune of Saiou's Tarot Deck). Is this really the correlation? ^^

[Ishida Akira] Ed Phoenix ~ Athrun Zara in Gundam Seed Destiny
Wow! My best seiyuu finally joins GX!!! I always follow his work in Saiyuki (Hakkai) and Naruto (Gaara) as well.

[Koyasu Takehito] Saiou Takuma ~ Mwu La Fllaga in Gundam Seed Destiny
His voice is also very unique as Ishida-San. I really like his work in Gundam Seed series, following his current dub in Initial D (Takahashi Ryousuke) as well. His voice is so cool for such a smart character!!

Lastly, Tatsuta Naoki (Lewis Halberton in Gundam Seed Destiny) also joins GX team as Napolean voice's dubber. Humm...three people from Gundam Seed Destiny...perhap, Kira Yamato's voice dubber may join us soon ^^.

Many people ask me split characters' decks for the second seasons. I am thinking about it as well; however, it depends on whether that character has enough cards for me to split or not. We may create new card pages for Judai and Manjyome who mostly have a ton of cards in play but not for all characters.

For the Wake Up Your Heart's music video, I am sorry to say that my friend's file was cracked. Only the movie is running but there is no sound. My team is trying to fix it and send me a new file soon. Sorry for the delay release T_T.

I will not finish my exam until next week. Don't be surprised if you don't see any new announcement. Just come in and check the site by yourself since my team may update it for me.

Full summaries of GX episode 46 is finally done. The first season, episode 1-52 summaries, should be totally done. I am sorry for keeping this episode too long. We have some internal communication problem, so I have to translate it by myself without any regular help. I would like to say that I and my translator really get confused by the universe theory of Daitokuji T_T. It seems that I have to listen to and read his lecture, but I still don't get that much (I did bad in my chemical class ~). Whatever I know is that Daitokuji tries to match Judai's fusion skill with a type of the alchemy. Fusion enhances the power of normal monsters while the alchemy enhances the value of objects by changing them into gold. Both of them involves the increasing of matter values. Is this really a connection T_T? I don't know either. Thus, I am sorry if my translating looks a bit weird.

For the next two weeks, I am going to have the mid-term exam. Therefore, some delay update may be expected unless my team isn't lazy to help me update ^^.

Full summaries of GX episode 51, and 52 are done by [Penguin Zero]. His language is much better than mine, so you can fully enjoy reading. I just edits and adds minor things from my friend's translating in his work. Thanks for his hard work again. Some of you should already got them from the forum as well.

Also, Kaiser's deck list and Judai's deck list have been updated following the episode show. Judai's, Manjyome's, and Sho's print-version deck lists are also updated by my friend Bryon. They should be complete following the first 52 GX episodes.

Following my thought, this duel is really extreme and expert. It is very close to any professional duel in the original series. It's also difficult to see monsters with more than 10000 attack points in play (I remember I see Dartz's monster with infinite power in the last time). I have never thought that fusion strategies can be potential like this before. At least, this should be the good ending for the first-year of Duel Academia and before we start the second GX season next week with new characters. I am wondering whether GX will last long for three years until Judai graduates. Perhaps, we may see Yu Gi Oh R anime after that ^^.

Since [Penguin Zero] really helps me release my work, I will go back and finish my old work this week instead. I remember that episode 46 is still missing. If possible, I will try to finish its translating within this weekend because my mid-term exam is coming next week. Thus, the update stuffs may be late until I finish my exam.

I don't know how much my team updated the stuffs while I was away. It seems that they didn't announce everything they uploaded into the server. Thus, I will try to repeat all of the update stuffs again. Sorry if I repeat something...wow! There is a lot of update details today.

As you know, the second GX ending album, Wake Up Your Heart/KENN at Nab's, has already been released. I already released all songs in the album in my temp forum. If you haven't got them yet, please go there. I will release them on my site later after the traffic becomes less. For the [Japanese and English lyrics], I have already done them and released them on my site. Anyway, have posted the [English translating] in the forum, hoping for someone edit my song language T_T.

Many people get confused by some details about two versions of Wake Up Your Heart cds. To clarify, there are two albums, one with Wake Up Your Heart music video DVD (MJCD-23008) + vocal cd and another one with only vocal cd (MJCD-23009). The vocal cd of both albums contain the same four tracks. Why do they have to create two versions? Following my experience, some Japanese bands would like to promote their albums without any relation to anime. (MJCD-23009) is an anime version coming with GX sticker. However, (MJCD-23008) is a regular version released to the public. If Nab's would like to sell this ablum to the global market, it should promote its regular album not anime album. Anyway, it is just my guess.

My friend has already captured the music video of Wake Up Your Heart and sent it to me. It is so cool to see KENN, Yuki Judai's voice dubber, acting on stage ^^. Because the file is relatively too big for our server, I have to tell my team to reduce its size and send me a new one. Once I get it, I will certainly release it for fans ^^. At this time, please go and see only the sceenshots from the [music video, Wake Up Your Heart].

In the latest V-Jump vol.11, besides Yu Gi Oh R, there are many interesting information about GX. First, it promotes Judai's and Manjyome's Duelist Packs coming October 20, 2005. They include even [E-Hero Steam Healer], which Judai plays only in [episode 42] against Dark Magician Girl, and [Armed Dragon LV10]. Actually, I have never seen Manjyome playing Armed Dragon LV 11 in GX series but only LV 3, 5, and 7. Thus, I am not sure whether he is going to play it in the futher. See for further information in my [V-Jump card scans page].


[The Second Season/Year of GX]

Moreover, V-Jump promotes the new characters in GX. The article says that the new GX series is coming after October 10 when Judai becomes the second-year student. Humm...he is still in Osiris Red despite this level. In this series, Judai is a senior and has to face new freshmen. At least, we can be happy that GX is still running ^^. Let's see the new interesting castings;

[Ed Phoenix]

He is the first new character, the first-year Obelisk Blue student, going to duel against Judai in [episode 53] and Kaiser in [episode 57]. (I will not tell about the story, please go to read the episode summaries instead)

[Saiou Takuma]

The article doesn't say much thing about him, just stating that he is an unknown duelist with unknown power. I haven't seen his name appear in any episode yet. Perhaps, we may know about his real appearance later. At least, we know only that he must be an Obelisk Blue student.

[Tyranno Kenzan]

The first-year Ra Yellow student, going to duel against Judai in [episode 55], playing a dinosaur deck. It is very interesting whether he is gonna have better strategies than Dinosaur Ryousaki ^^.

Then, the artile talks about the last duel of Hayato that we have already known in [episode 50]. See for further details in my journal scans [1], [2].

This is a message from a fan who wants me to help him promote. For some of you who want to see the scans of the official GX booklet coming with Yu Gi Oh GX Japanese official DVD Box 2, please go to see them at [Yu Gi Oh GX Live Journal].

Lastly, did you notice my team change the title character bar images in some pages? I have just noticed as well ^^. If you haven't just try to open some page and you are gonna see Manjyome's and Kaiser's themes.

Note: I will try to finish GX summaries first in the next update.

Full summary and screenshots of GX episode 50 are done by [Penguin Zero]. Thank you very much for his work. It's also pity when we have to say good bye to one of our friends in Osiris Red, Maeda Hayato, who has only 2 duels, episode 9 and 50, in GX series. He is going to accept Pegasus' offer as an official duel card designer with Industrial Illusion. What a nice future! His final duel isn't bad at all although he is defeated by Professor Chronos. Thanks many people especially many Australian fans who sent me additional information about his designed card [Ayer's Rock Sunrise]. Hayato has some background in Australia on Ayer's Rock, the well-known red rock in the northern area of Australia. I feel that I have some good knowledge about our world again ^^.

Also, Hayato's deck list and Chronos's deck list have been updated following the episode show.

I am sorry that the forum has been down for a few days. The problem usually occurs during my busy time T_T. I am gonna have the mid-term in the next two week, so I have chapters to read and assignments to finish as well. Without any help in the forum, I may slower update, but I will try to do my best and recover the forum as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience at this time.

Another thing that I would like have the short update today is about the single album of the second ending, [Wake Up Your Heart], vocaled by KENN at Nab's. The lists of the tracks have already been released. However, the CD is going to be actually released this September 22, 2005. If you buy the version with DVD (MJCD-23008 not MJCD-23009), you are going to get a special DVD with the video version performed by KENN as well ^^. Of course, I will release all of the songs with the movie clips once it is released in Japan and my friend has got the CD/DVD.

Full summary and screenshots of GX episode 49 are done. I have finished this episode first following a ton of request. Actually, I should thank my friend [Penguin Zero] who originally created the great summary for us. Thus, you don't have to read my bad language this time ^^. I just edit his work and add in card information. Also, Judai 's and Kagemaru's deck lists that have already been updated.

Some of you may have noticed that card page information have been much improved. That is because my friend [Seto Kaiba] and [Bryon_Youngblood] are doing such a hard work on helping me edit them. I will try to adjust them and match them to OCG cards as much as I can.

At least, I know that GX hasn't been ended in episode 53 as a rumor. I have no idea either when it will be ended. The story now goes to the second year of Duel Academia after Kaiser graduates. Is Judai going to Ra Yellow or remaining in Osiris Red? Whatever I know is that GX is still running...perhaps until Yu Gi Oh R can be created as a real anime ^^. I have just posted the summary of episode 54-57. They haven't been edited yet, so don't be surprised if you see some weird translatings. Just get the main idea to understand the story. More importantly, I have noticed from many fans that many sites are copying most of my stuffs especially my summaries into their site as if they originally translate them. I don't want to mention those sites since some of them look very very professional. They use my original confusing English without any editing, so I know that those are my whole work. If you know that you are doing something like this or know the sites that are doing something like this, please stop. I don't want to discourage my friends and team not to go on this job because your behaviors. Please not to gain advantage on our language weakness. Thanks in advance~

Thanks my team for updating some stuffs while I was away during Labor Day holiday. There are many stuffs from fans that I am trying to reorganize and updating. This week, I will try to finish translating GX episode 48-49, the legendary demon battle as possible. Before that, my friend [Seto Kaiba] sent me some scans of US GX official booklet coming with 2005 Tin, Vorse Raider. Thanks for his work for fans. You can get it by purchasing the same product as well ^^.


Scanned by [Seto Kaiba]

As you know that Yu Gi Oh GX is going to be broadcasted in US soon. This should be a good news ^^. I hope it is gonna broadcast the whole series including the 7 star series. Anyway, I have recently a ton of e-mails asking about the similar GX topics. Due to my limited time on replying the e-mails, I am trying to transfer them to the forum as much as I can. Many new people are coming to join the forum and have fun with all of us. I would like all people to welcome them well and please be patient to some duplicate topics in the forum. We can just tell them kindly where to find the information they want ^^.

Lastly, I have some concern about English card translating since some GX main cards' names are changed. Many people often note me about the change in my translatings as well. After discussing with my team, I think that I won't go back and change the cards played in many episodes, such as Featherman or Burstlady, because it is gonna be the most tough work for me T_T. I will remain the original Japanese names in the summaries. However, I will put the short note for English names in my card lists. Anyway, I will try my best to use the OCG English names as much as I can.

Janime has already left for Labor Day holiday trip, coming back next week. We, J-Team, come to update Janime's work. Kagemaru's deck list has already been updated following episode 48. Currently, you can read the summary of this episode posted by many members in Janime's GX forum.

This is another note from Janime to some fans who ask for additional GX images. We see some images sent from Janime's friend in fan-box folder, but we don't know where to send them to the fans; we don't have your specific e-mails. Thus, we decide to release them here. From what we know, these images are captured by Janime's friend with slightly larger size, 780*480. We see some other images as well, but let Janime come back and release them later.


Janime will return to the regular work from next week on...

Due to many problems during the past few days, both forum and site, I have got to slower update my site. I am sorry about that I have to waste time solving this problem T_T while a ton of update stuffs remain untouched. I will try to finish them all as soon as possible after I return from Labor-Day Holiday this weekend.

Many people ask me about what the acticle in the latest V-Jump says about GX [1], [2]. Well, I am going to summarize them as following;

1. They describe the chracteristics of each main character going to duel in August-September, Asuka, Manjyome, Judai, and Kaiser.

Yuki Judai - Genious Type
Neccessary Skill | Flash, Courage, Strong Luck
Deck Type | Elemental Hero Deck

Kaiser Ryou - Invincible Type
Neccessary Skill | Technique, Cool, Overpower
Deck Type | Cyber Dragon Deck

Manjyome Jun - Elite Type
Neccessary Skill | Pride, Financial Power, Persistent
Deck Type | Armed Dragon Deck, VtoZ Deck

Tenjoin Asuka - Clever Type
Neccessary Skill | Bright, Endeavor
Deck Type | Cyber Girl Deck

Other parts of the article talks about their plays that I won't mention them since most of us should understand their deck and main monsters well. Then, they promote the last duel of the guy holding the ultimate emperor title, Kaiser Ryou, in Duel Academia graduation commemoration. It just says that in order to beat this guy, Judai must beat his three Cyber Dragons. Lastly, the article talks about the duel of Judai against the leader of the 7 stars, Kagemaru. I am going to summarize the main idea a bit in episode 48 as well.

 

Short Main Summary in Episode 48 - by J-Pop (My Thai Friend in Japan)

Kagemaru
Duel Academia Chief Director

First of all, Kagemaru is the chief director of Duel Academia. Samechima Principle has known him well. Kagemaru has planned before and known well that the three legendary demons are sealed in the middle of the forest on this island. The duels between Judai and the others against the 7 stars are merely the instruments to spread the combative spirits of duelists through the island. Several years ago, Kagemara already got the three legendary demon cards, which obtained the eternal life and world-lead power, in hand. However, in order to exercise the power sleeping in these cards, the combative spirits of the duelists are neccessary. As a result, Kagemaru built up Duel Acedemia to raise up the duelists to revive the three legendary demons. Of course people get mad since they seem to be used for Kagemaru's benefits. Kagemaru finally picks up Judai for his opponent because he considers that he has the strongest spirits among the others.

The last important main idea is the real power of the legendary demons. While the shadow duel is done and the legendary demons are on the field, besides Judai and his monsters, the spirits of people's monsters are absorbed to be the power of the legendary demons. This explains whey the three legendary demons have been sealed. However, Kagemaru further explains that the power of them hasn't been complete yet. Without the current boundary, their power is unable to work. In order to let them work, the power of the spirits are required. If he can win this shadow duel, successfully absorb Judai's power, remove the three legendary demons from the current boundary, he is gonna start taking (eating ) the spirits of duel monsters all over the world. With the power of the three legendary demons, Kagemaru can gain eternal life and become the god of the earth. As you can see, he can become younger by their power and this is the end of episode 48.

In the article of V-Jump, it mentions that the last chance of Judai remains in the mysterious card that Daitokuji left in his shadow book. It is the magic card [Philosopher's Stone Sabatier - Genjya No Ishi Sabatier]. As I said before that Daitokuji as an alchemist aims to look for Philosoper's Stone for his entire life. This card becomes the key card for Judai in the next episode, seemingly playing with Hane Kuriboh. Let's see what is coming next week ^^.

Note: Um...I thought that Kaiba builds up this school, but Kagemaru actually builds it for specific purpose...?

I won't summarize the duel here. Kagemaru plays no monsters but two legendary demons, Hamon and Urima, in this episode. All of his cards seem merely to support their summon. I think people are talking about the effect and the duel play pretty well in my forum. Please go and read for the duel/card details there. I will release the full summary on my site later.

 

I have already added the last Karaoke song in the single 2nd openning album in my site. Every song should be available and working well now. I just want to beg you guys not to abuse or consume my bandwidth by making the direct link to my files. They are available for direct download and for all people.
