UPDATE TIME!
Today, it’s time for our first proper race in the Wheelie Breakers Championship! We’re joined by FutureFriend as we face off against two of the roughest dudes in the duel racing business: Hunter Pace and Bolt Tanner! Will our discussions of alternative Yu-Gi-Oh! canon and politics be enough to take these two down, or will we wipe out in our debut? Let’s rev it up!
SUPER UPDATE TIME!
Today, it’s time for the semi-final match, and we’re facing off against a real tough guy! Greiger is no joke, and neither are his military-themed monsters. To face off against such a dangerous opponent, we’re bringing Leo’s deck, which is just a bunch of transforming toys! Can our mockery of machinery defeat Greiger’s incredible bike, or will we be left in the dust?
ALSO PODCAST TIME!
It’s time to suit up for a new adventure! My friends Jay and Hobo join me to discuss Lupin III’s latest adventure and his journey through Italy! It’s a good time with plenty of wild adventures, and some good emotional arcs and story development for Lupin and his merry band of cohorts.
I love the idea that in stopping Greiger from running his giant skull bike into the main villain, Yusei actually makes it more bad because now a chunk of death spike is hurtling towards him. Also…god the way you describe 5Ds really makes me want to watch it, but a friend wants to watch Arc5 first.
I haven’t watched the Lupin 3 video yet, but I’m excited. I’ve heard the Lupin 2015 anime goes some interesting places (and is more manga accurate, for better or worse) so it’ll be fun to see how it compares to the goofy movies I’m familiar with.
Greiger eventually gets a new bike to share with his siblings after all the trouble of season 2.
A nice friendly version with a sidecar.
And trust me when I say the new Lupin is plenty goofy. It’s not The Woman Called Fujiko Mine or anything, which might be what you’re thinking of.
yeah the character specific lupin movies often tend to be very noir inspired, whereas normal lupin is intensely goofy and usually just “lupin the horndog tries to steal a thing and usually gets outplayed by fujiko”
Sweet, good to know. I’ll get to it once I clear out this backlog of stuff to watch.
Also that’s adorable. Do you think having a motorcycle with a side car would make tag/2v2 duels feasible in this universe?
They do have a game called Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Tag Force 5 so it could be possible.
UPDATE TIME!
Today, it’s time for our final match in the Wheelie Breakers Championship! And the last challenge is going to test our limits as we face off against the two strongest boys, Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas! Can we wrestle the glory from the main characters and take the gold, or will we be left in the dust but their superior skills? It’s all or nothing on the final story update of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Wheelie Breakers!
We’ve got one more episode to go where we show off the Grand Prix mode, and then that’s it for this little adventure into weird licensed games.
The phrase “even Kaiba wouldn’t do that” has always been a hilarious thing for me, because it reminds me of a line from the series proper. A line that is immediately followed up by him murdering two mind slaves while pushing them into the ocean. He would INCREDIBLY do that, he made a theme park around murdering Yugi and his friends.
Also god Jack really does have a bit of helmet hair doesn’t he.
I can’t be the only person to see Lazar for the first time and think “oh they have a Frieza”
I love Jack Atlas,
FINAL UPDATE TIME!
For the final video, we’re racing into the future and taking on the final challenge of the game: the Grand Prix mode! Now facing off against seven other racers, we’re going to need to pull out all the stops in order to get ahead of the chaos! For this challenge, we’ve brought TheJayOfSpade back to talk about further ideas on what the 5 Ds stand for, other Yu-Gi-Oh! video game appearances, and more!
Thanks for watching! Gonna take a couple weeks off but I should be back before the end of the year with a new LP project. Hope to see you all then, and remember to always take care of your bike as well as you take care of your deck!
Well that was fun. A great LP of a sort of okay game. Thank for make Chorps.
Also what does the “Solid Vision” tag on some of the racers mean?
That just means they’re jacking in via the VR machines we were using at the start. It’s a flavor thing for all the characters we faced in the prelims when they appear in Grand Prix.
Neat, and I kinda expected that, but I wasn’t sure if it had any mechanical impact.
Also god bless Bobobo’s version of Slifer the Sky Dragon.
Congrats on earning all those JPEGS; the reward that all true bikers Duel Runners strive for.
Probably the best part of that Yu-Gi-Oh cameo in Bo-bobo is that it was actually drawn by Kazuki Takahashi, the author of Yu-Gi-Oh, which was probably obvious from the art style. You know you’ve made it big when another famous author is willing to draw his own cameo in your story.
