Episode 5 - "The Ultimate Great Moth"

The 'last time' part is just as awful as the flashbacks...  That's 99.9% probably because it uses the same footage and dialogue as the flashbacks in the last episode. Why is Yugi betting his dueling glove? It's silly to see an insect with a giant cannon. We totally need insects with cannons for our military. Why did it cut the 'last time' with 'MY LIFE POINTS ARE DECIMATED' line instead of the 'OH I HAVE ANOTHER MONSTER?' 

Same intro as always. Yay, shorter episode thanks to the 'Last Time On...'. Pegi-boy sure has luscious locks still, though. 

Did Weevil crap his pants? How do Tristian and Joey and Tea (you know, it should be spelled Tia with the pronunciation, but whatever) know Mai's name? Mai is one matuuuure high-schooler. 

Weevil, that isn't a grin. If you spent less time with bugs, you would spend more time with people and learn facial expressions.

I'm so confused by the monsters being real things. I thought these were simulations? Why did Yugi tell the monsters to get back in their cards like they were pokemon or something. Then again, wouldn't be cooler if this was just the monsters killing the shit out of each other than kids 

Awww, cute and poor Kuribo. You didn't expect the INSECT guy to have a COCOON? And it seems like a bad move... His big monster has to wait for 5 turns to become powerful. That's 5 turns for Yugi to crack the cocoon. 

Purple eyes have to be like the dominant eye color in this universe... Is Tea always this much of a bitch? No wonder she only gets to hang out with doofuses one and two. 

... And thus Yugi broke the card grid by slapping it too hard and was banned from Duel Island or whatever and his grandpa died because he was so short that he didn't have enough room for his organs. (At least then I'd actually laugh...) 

Why didn't Yugi think of that plan of releasing the dragon himself? He had both the dragon and the magic card in his hand, why didn't he just release them instead of standing around like 'uhhhhh' after his first attempt to defeat the cocoon? 

Oh, so you can just destroy the forest? How did Yugi know he could just do that if the rules weren't known until this battle began? And the captions either misspell Gaia or Gia was always meant to be pronounced Gaia. 

'Duel' has to be Yugi's favorite word. Why was there a hawk sound? Hawks aren't moths or dragons. Beaver warrior? Who was like 'yeah let's take a purple beaver and make him a knight'. Polymerization sure will roll off a kid's tongue. Why not just be 'fusion' instead? Love those MS paint -10 bubbles. Yugi only cares about the knight and completely forgets about his frickin' dragon. Makiu sounds cool, magical mist doesn't. Oh, what's the difference between a tornado and one of doom? A ball of light, apparently. 

Yes, Tea, 'we never give up on him, and when we have to leave him, I mark him with a sharpie so he knows  I love him'. That isn't a BIG smile, Tristy. 

Weevil wasn't cheating. He just took you to a place where he would have an advantage and played well. 

Damn, get your enemy a little wet and you get 1000 more attack points. Next time I shock somebody, I'll just pour a bucket of water on them. 

You have no honor, Yugi, shut up. You're a little kid who transforms into a deep-voiced teen with ancient Egyptian magic.
