An Angel that partehs while keepin’ it real in the modern style. There ain’t no one that can stop how sick its ‘do really is.

For the episode itself, really good. Guru Guru seems nice and teaching him to duel was really sweet. Also Rook is super overwhelming and seemingly has kind of strict rules, but deep down has a good heart even as a ruler. It shows he's progressed because last time he was completely absorbed by greed. Now he went out of his way to connect with Guru, help him duel along the way, and was just genuinely nice to him. Very good developments for my Rook. Seeing Blue Eye's return was nice.  The entire Guru Guru vs Otis battle was like a parallels to episode one, so that was just cool overall.

It also makes me question whether this kid is actually working with the Goha Brothers or not. I can't help but doubt it, he didn't even know how to duel. Also the fact that Otis can just duel whenever is weird. He should be preparing to control the robot and stuff. I think that's just an automated AI so that Yuga and his gang won't bother him. Also, the new Sevens Road is pretty cool.  Guru Guru seemingly the memories and getting inspired is nice. Him winnign was also really satisfying, I can't wait to see where his character goes.

Of course Otis isn't giving any answers. Also him working with Rook as a genuine ally of the Rush Duel Club and now being like a mentor just follows up on my previous point. Also goodness, they published his fanfiction. Chill out guys lmao. Pretty big blow, but Guru Guru guardian him was sweet. However an important take away is a monster in the manga. I'll go into that later.

The ending Never Looking Back was really good. Definitely a banger. Seeing the Mecha just gets me hyped for him. As for the preview, looks like some people got sabotaged. We also see Yuro. Looks like a nice normal kid, but we already know he's an alien.

Now, for the Opening. It's incredible, just like Op 1 was. However we got to analyze the important stuff. We start with normal shenanigans. First major thing is a Guru Guru scene. Leads me to believe he'll be a permanent cast member (Mostly on the good side, maybe switching sides once or twice) and maybe even being a big focus. Right after that, is a Dragon. I can't confirm, but it looks just like the one in Rook's manga. This leads me to believe this new Card will be Rook's.

We get a shot with the Goha Brothers. Nothing notable except of a close shot of the sihhloute of the mysterious 6th members' face. It looks kind of like he has protagonist hair, like Yuga's. Edit, knew comparison from a different pic and gosh he has hair that's exactly like Yuga lol. Is it Yuga? Is it a Yuga Clone? Who knows but that's definitely not an accident. Now for new monsters in the chorus. We get a Bird Jet thingy. Next we have Gyakutenno Megami, with a shot of her face looking just like the card.

We see a humanoid monster fully covered in monster on a field with a baseball bat. It looks just like Utopia, but just Baseball themed. We then see Levia-Dragon Daedalus.  We also see some little dragons. Next we see the Millenium Shield, in all it's glory. Next new shot is a little later. We see Gakuto summon some girl is traditional clothing, it fits his aesthetic well. We all see Romin summoning a form of Can:D I don't think we've seen before. It's obviously a Can:D monster, but I believe it's new.

Next shot of interest is a split second shot of lighting shooting up in the sky over the city, forming the form of a Dragon for a second. I wonder if that has any relevance. Maybe foreshadowing a major monster later on. Final shot of interest is when it shows monsters belonging to the Brothers. We have confirmation that Millennium Shield, Baseball Utopia, Levia, Bird Jet, and Megami belong to them.

That's all I have. for reviews. Overall great episode as I said before.

Script: 竹内利光 || Takeuchi Toshimitsu

Go play, feel, believe, and plunge into the light!
For some reason, when I looked up at the sun, I sneezed
A weird action, satisfaction, a hunch that something would happen

On those stifling days, come here when you're tired
Keep chasing your impulsive urges, for the ordinary is boring

To your turn that belongs to no one else
To the road's end that nobody sees
To our Harevutai that's like no one else's

I wanna play, feel, believe, and kick the earth
Aim towards the meteor in your dream's boundaries
And if it's that limit, we'll surely surpass it

Believe in the light that shines your hands!
Go play, feel, believe, and plunge into the light!
Rush! Rush! Rush! Rush Duel!
Rush! Rush! Rush! Rush Duel!
Let's go Rush! Let's go Rush!

na na na na na na...
Never Looking Back
na na na na na na...
Never looking Back

The back that's supposed to be far beyond
is out of sight
There's no map leading to the goal
So which way should I even go?

I had planned on standing alone
But now, you're by my side
and that isn't bad at all

Even if my hands, can't reach
the future I want to grasp
The dreams I want to come true
still remain as dreams

Let's sing as loud as we can!
As long as I walk beside you
Tomorrow will surely surpass today!
I will surely surpass the me of today!

na na na na na na...
Never Looking Back

Good episode! The returning cards were cool, and the Riding Rush Duel was cool as well. I think Yuro losing is interesting, however I swear he had a card set that he didn't use. Also Yuo seems to actually be the most villainous and menacing one, and is currently producing a card. I didn't expect that. As for the preview, Yujin looks like good fun.

Edit: Personally if he genuinely lost it doesn't impact me that much, but I can see why people don't like it.
Edit 2: I didn't catch it at first but apparently Yuo demoted Yuro. Interesting.
