The prompts aren’t late, time is moving imperceptibly faster.

On August 1st to the 31st we’ll be welcoming in to our 6th Zexal Month! Under the cut is the new set of prompts, based on the Four Seasons. This year, Mod Iris has cleverly made the alternative prompts as the titles for each prompt. So, for example, if you aren’t vibing with Day 12′s prompt, you may do a prompt based on the word ‘Mixtape’, even if you don’t follow the question/prompt attached to Day 11. Keep an eye on this blog and the #zexal month 2022 tag for the event!  

Week 1: Beginning with Spring!

1st: Seeds (The beginning)

Looks like Kotori is planting a garden! 

Who are you and what seeds will you bring to help her out?

2nd: Sprouts

As per Takashi’s calculations, the sprouts have emerged just in time! Gotta love a student who applies his knowledge. 

Who is your favourite character and what makes you like them?

3rd: Buds

Alit and Gilag’s Tiger Lilies and Spider Lillies miraculously budded together. It’s like they’re best friends just like their planters. 

What are your favourite friendships? 

4th: Flowers

Astral loves the flowers. Even though they bloom and scatter in a short amount of time, the memory remains long in the envoy’s mind. 

What are some of your favourite memories and scenes from Zexal? 

5th: Fruits

Tokunosuke is stuffing his face full of cherries and praying his neighbours don’t find out. Unfortunately, they do and he learns a lesson in communication. And the consequences of stealing. 

What lessons has Zexal taught you? Alternatively, what consequences do you wish some characters faced up to?

Week 2: Diving into Summer!

8th: Sunshine

After much cajoling from his brothers, Christopher finally got out of the house and went to the beach. It’s not bad, he supposes. It’s pleasantly warm, even. (If only he didn’t get so easily sunburned). 

What parts from Zexal warmed you up? Create something heartwarming.

9th: Sea

Ryouga likes to visit the sea to gather his thoughts and relax. The locks at low tide are an added bonus. It’s nice… until IV and his alarmingly sunburned brother show up. 

Zexal characters going on vacation. Where are they going and what would they pack?

10th: Barbecues

Uh-oh! Looks like Gauche messed up all the patties at the BBQ he was so excited to have. Luckily his friends brought their own things! 

Show us something involved with recipes or food!

11th: Mixtape

Unfortunately, Vector is going through a Soundcloud rapper phase. (He says he’s special because he mixes it with 2000s Punk and alt). 

What’s your fave Zexal Soundtrack and why? Produce something while listening to it if you can!

12th: Summer Reading

Durbe loves borrowing books from the library and then reading them under the summer sun so much that he usually falls asleep reading. 

What’s a book that reminds you of a Zexal character? Alternatively, combine books you’ve read/are reading with Zexal (Isn’t a certain vampire popular at the moment?)

Week 3: Falling into Autumn

15th: Sweater Weather

Rio loves to curl up with her favourite movie playing in the bg and a cup of coffee in her hands. She’s got a keen eye for fashion and loves to wear her sweaters inside the Barian mansion. 

What’s the ideal watching environment for you? What episode would you rewatch?

16th: Falling Leaves 

Walking through Heartland’s parks during the fall is a lovely sight. Tetsuo thinks maybe he could enter his school’s photography contest this year. Hayami Shuta’s been #1 for 5 years straight but the imagery here might give him a run for his money.

Talk/show us some of your favourite/cool places/scenes in Zexal!

17th: Back to School

After a long summer break, Yuma is late for school again! Scrambling out of bed, he dreads the long lessons but looks forward to meeting his friends again!

What kind of student do you think your favourite character is/was? Is it time for a Middle/Highschool/University AU? 

18th: Pumpkin Spice

Black Mist never got the hype over pumpkin spice until he stole a prep’s body and tried some. Now it’s all he drinks and he thinks he’s starting to turn orange. 

Give your favourite a pumpkin spice… thing. What happens? Does anyone die?

19th: Trick or Treat

It’s Thomas’ favourite holiday and he doesn’t care Heartland City doesn’t officially recognise it. He’s going to be the COOLEST Destiny Leo anyone has ever seen. It’s going to be a sight for his fans. 

Redesign your favourite Zexal character! Alternatively, give a Zexal character a cool outfit/costume. (Or… are they the costume?! Cosplayers, if you’re waiting for a sign, this prompt is especially for you).

Week 4: Winter

22nd: Snow

It’s Anna’s first snow in Heartland and it’s colder than she expected. Maybe she will have to buy that coat and apologise to Kotori for calling her weakling. 

It’s unexpected friendship/shipping day!

23rd: Holidays

During winter break, Kaito and Haruto like to go out to the countryside villa and watch as the snow slowly falls. Alone in the snow, the two brothers realize that home is wherever your family is. Even if your family includes a robot nanny.

What holidays do you think the characters in Zexal celebrate?

24th: Cold

“Achoo!” Every winter, Micheal catches a cold and ends up having the entire Arclight household fussing over him as if he were a young child. He likes the attention, he supposes, but did the medicine have to taste so bad? They’re living in the future for crying out loud! At least he has time to organise the things in his room…

What does your fave’s bedroom look like? Design a room for them if you can. Also, we apologise to every artist in advance for asking them to draw backgrounds today.

25th: Moon in the river, plum wine in my hand, I weep for the stars

Thus goes a poem from Mizael’s diary. He only shares his poems with very close friends, which is a pity because they’re all wonderful. 

Write a Zexal poem/ode/limerick/haiku or whatever your heart desires.  

26th: Do you want to build a snowman? 

No! Not like that! Vector’s entry for Heartland’s snowman building contest is…concerning to say the least. There’s no more red food coloring in the pantry is all I can say. 

It’s a snow day! How does your character spend it? Or, how does your favorite character build a snowman?

Week 5: New Years

29th: New Years

The Tsukumos walk to the shrine. It’s almost midnight, you see, and they’re going to ring in like the new year like they always have. After reminiscing on all the fun times they had throughout the year, ending it surrounded by their loved ones, it’s a perfect conclusion. 

Goodbyes and Zexal fandom love letters. Share your open letters to the Zexal fandom in general!

———————————————–

As usual, feel free to do whichever prompts you like. These prompts are a guideline, rather than a hard rule, and you can make art, write fanfiction, make amvs/animatics or just talk about it! Just do what you can manage! No need to do all of them if you don’t want to.

Sorry again for the late prompt list. Mod Iris got into their dream uni and I’m nearing the due date for my PhD thesis! Rest assured, Zexal Month 2022 will run smoothly in August!

See you all then! Please share this around and spread the Zexal love!

Day 12: Summer Reading

["What? Do you want me to read you a bedtime story or something?" Yuma asked his new, and completely unwanted, roommate who kept staring at him.

"What is a bedtime story?" Astral asked instead.

That was surprising tragic question that Yuma could not let go answered. " I'll show you. Make yourself comfortable."

Sure, Astral didn't sleep as far as Yuma knew (He was pretty sure Astral had been watching him as he sleep). But bedtime stories were the best kind of story ever so Yuma dug out the old children book from within his treasure chest.

The book he chose was a hand-me down from his mother. Opening it, he began to weaved the story. He told Astral about the adventures of a jolly thief turn toymaker, an warrior Pooka, a fairy guard of childhood memories, a wise storyteller....

And a boy born from the stars.]

Zexal month day 4: Flowers

I always loved Droite. She was so pretty and cool, even though she got robbed in the show. I decided to give her a pretty flower wedding dress because she deserves it!

Introduction

The goal of this blog is to re-translate and re-subtitle the entirety of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. I hope to make the new subtitles as accurate and consistent as possible. I’m not a supergenius, though, so if you catch any mistakes, typos, formatting or consistency errors, please feel free to let me know.

I refer to this as a 2023 project, but really I first had the idea for it in 2020 quarantine. Then in 2022, I actually started working on it, took a break from it for a while, then picked it up again about a month ago. And I imagine it'll continue into 2024. But by god, it'll be done someday.

That said, this is largely a solo project. I get occasional translation help from friends, but the actual subtitling and encoding is all done by me. This means releases will be pretty sporadic. I plan to post the episodes in batches whenever I finish a season. (I'm considering a new season to be whenever the theme songs change, here.)

All scripts are translated into English from the Japanese subtitle files located on Kitsunekko. (Except for the previews and some of the ending skits, those I had to figure out by ear.) The raws are from Amazon Japan, taken from a release by Zenthons on Nyaa, who got them from another user they called Shirt. (Sorry, if I knew how better to credit them, I would.) Episode titles are taken from the episode listing Wikipedia page, with occasional minor changes.

You can also find me on my main blog @umbralhorrors, or my primary translation blog @rippukun.

And I hope you enjoy!

[offlineblues]

When did you first get into yugioh? I hope you're having a nice day! <3

thank you for your well wishes! i too hope you had a pleasant day!

let's see... to answer your question... it's a little bit of a long story, so i'll make a read more! (there is a TLDR at the bottom if you want)

in late 2017, twitch was broadcasting a marathon of Duel Monsters. at that time, my partner, Jamie, was getting really invested into it, since he had mentioned how he liked it when he was younger. for me, i had heard of YGO on TV when i was younger too, but i felt like i couldn't get invested in it, so i never kept track of it. i was vaguely aware of YGO's continued spin-offs, but i never gave it a chance.

so, after a few weeks, his passion about the show and how much he loved Atem made me want to try giving it a shot, too. because of Megumi Ogata's Yugi Mutou, i was interested in starting from the Very Beginning with the Toei season (season 0). i was curious how subbed YGO might be.

so, we watched all of the Toei season together. i came to really love Yugi the most, as he is a very kindhearted protag (my favorite type of protag) as well as Jounouchi and Kaiba. i was surprised at how the story was about our connections with others. i really loved how different it was compared to what i expected or remembered about the series from the past. the focus on games in general as a medium for the story was really good.

i was hooked on it and respected it. i finally understood the appeal. i wanted to jump into Duel Monsters (sub) right away. and we did! we watched it all together, starting in early 2018.

it took several months to watch, and i enjoyed it! i remember feeling shocked and kinda sad that "the shadow realm" wasn't real, lol. i didn't realize it had been a show that was censored like that. we even watched the DSOD movie after. it was really cool... Yugi really is a character i adore!

for about about a year or so after, i was really invested into puzzleshipping. i didn't draw very much at the time because of my severe untreated carpal tunnel though, so there aren't much past works from me, nor did i ever make any ship art.

Jamie got invested into the spin-off YGO and started watching VRAINS while it was airing after seeing a post about Yusaku/Playmaker on here. i gave it a few episodes, and immediately gravitated to liking Ai. but, i was going through a tough time personally and felt a little fatigued (in general) and of YGO because it was such a long series. i didn't think i could do another 150+ anime. so, i dropped it after 3 episodes and did other things for a few years.

he would talk to me about how much he loved how VRAINS was going and about datastormshipping, and i happily listened even though i didn't understand. it was nice to be a support at the time when i felt too tired and stressed to participate. this went on into 2019 as it finished, and well after into 2020. though, it shifted into aiballshipping, but he kept me safe from spoilers.

on a whim, in the middle of 2022, i suggested we watch VRAINS together because i felt up for it again, and i wanted to watch an anime together. i was excited to learn about Ai more, as i saw some vague spoilers here and there about him. i immediately grew to love Yusaku and Ai a whole lot! i was excited every weekend we could watch together. it only took 3 months to watch all 120 episodes because i was that invested. i again felt like a fool for not continuing in the past...

...and you know the rest. it's impacted me a lot. i haven't stopped thinking or talking about them for nearly a year now. i'm even more impacted by their story than the Toei season or DM. i like the characters and story a lot more for VRAINS, so it's my favorite. i even picked up Duel Links because i wanted to learn how to play (i'm kind of bad at it). i'm currently in the middle of ZEXAL now, but i want to check out all the others eventually, too. exciting!

TLDR:

i got into it in 2017 because of my partner's influence. watched season 0, DM, and DSOD and loved it. fell off for personal difficulties in real life and fatigue with long series. picked up VRAINS again in 2022 after dropping it in 2018 after 3 episodes. am now insane (positive) and invested in YGO because it's so fun and good. i'm happy to be here and hope i can be for a long time
