Is it just me or does Akiza treat the ones who are trying to help her worse than that dark signer model who was trying to take her soul? 😂

Could you imagine the awkward side conversation Stardust Dragon and Black Rose Dragon must be having that we can't understand. Stardust: Hey Black Rose, I know we had that one weird night after we beat the shadow army, but could you cut it out with the whipping? Black Rose: Sorry Stardust, but this human is going on a sadism binge right now. Just power through for now.

15:40 a parent admitting they were wrong is the most powerful thing any broken child can hear, and what Akiza’s father says right here is so impactful

This duel is an example of when all of us were there to try and help a friend through whatever pain they had to deal with, even when they tried to push us away. That's all.

This was an emotional episode, it shows that if the parents fear their own child for being different it can have catastrophic effect but deep down her parents Loved her and seeing her dad risk everything to try and reach her and Yusie using as many traps as he could to protect her dad was sweet

This duel in a nutshell Yusei: please helps us? Akiza: no Yusei: please Akiza: no Yusei: please Akiza: no Yusei: please Akiza:....ok

both yusei and akiza's VAS did a great job in this duel

8:18 Luna: I don't like her when she's angry. Star Dust: Neither do I kid.

“No way!” “Yes way!” Ahh yes, the classic elementary school insult

I love the subtle details in the duels in 5ds like sheild warrior's sheild being broken and the attack targets fighting back

God this episode has me feeling emotinally raw again... Seriously this is the best 2 part episode of Yu Gi Oh I have ever seen. This episode felt very real and deep for a show that is mostly seen as an over the top shonen. Akiza's emotional struggles in this season alone is why she is probably one of my favorite Yu Gi Oh characters period and one of my favorite female anime characters. Love the parents too by the end and I legitimately rooted for them to win Akiza back, the image of the dad and Akiza embracing after Stardusts last attack looks absolutely beautiful too.

I feel like this would’ve made more sense if the relationship between Yusei and Akiza was more established before this episode

Akiza is just perfect. Im surprised she didn't let her hair down more often. But she has some competition in Aoi and Dark Magician Girl

Yusei:i summon senator dad to the field Dad:akiza you've been a naughty girl Akiza:bye bye daddy

I always preferred Yusei's synchro summon music to anyone else's.

Akiza: That’s sweet but you don’t mean that. Yusei: He does Akiza: You right

11:21 I love how the only one not acting surprised here is jack, because he knows that if Yusei didn’t give up on him after what he did there’s no way he’ll give up on Akiza either

6:21 what his speed warrior was in the middle of the deck impossible 😂

What I find hilarious about this episode? Now we all know that Yusei and Akiza like each other and all, blah blah blah, but since the Signers are represented by their dragons who match them in looks and personality (or in case of the twins, older versions of themselves), it's fair to say that the two signer dragons here are also involved with each other. BUT! This is where it gets funny; Black Rose Dragon equipped with the Thorns of Malice doesn't destroy targets but cause them immense amount of pain whipping them madly. In essence, Black Rose Dragon has been breaking out the leather and whip on Stardust Dragon. Seems like they're pretty kinky with their foreplay.

I guess the Dark Signers are doing something that means they’re too busy to target Yusei and Akiza during this Duel.

To this day I could never understand how they make their jacket float like that in the air while walking.

Black rose dragon is a dope ass monster. I really like this episode because Yusei shows Akiza tough love. For a second i think Akiza believed it when Yusei called her a friend, but shes so broken she just can't see what is really going on. Yusei is right people do deserve second chances. When she controlled her power, to me it is destiny telling her that she is meant to be good. she is designed to fight along side with Yusei not against him. She has to accept her destiny in order for her to control her powers and find herself. I am glad she is reunited with her father.

Stardust Dragon also known as the symbol of friendship❤ One of my favorites along with Stardust Spark Dragon

She knew that she could've just put her hand over her deck to surrender and end the duel, right?

10:42 Finally a main character doesn't draw The card they need

2:56 Akiza pretty much giving Yusei the finger 😂😂😂

Aki is absolutely gorgeous.

Power of friendship at it’s MAX

The cool thing about Yugioh 5D'S is that the intro song was fan chosen.

I love Yusei. He’s such a cool guy

8:56 owo "listen to the power of my deck"

2:56 Akiza puts up middle finger.

For people who don’t fucking know stuff. 1. Black Rose Dragon’s ATK points were cut in half because of Hedge Guard’s effect when it’s sent to the graveyard. 2. Akiza couldn’t surrender the duel because it wasn’t her turn as it was still Yusei’s battle phase. 3. Yusei calling Black Rose Dragon “Blood Rose Dragon” is a dub error and that it’s Ruddy Rose Dragon’s Japanese name when it released in a much later time. So there.

Somehow I can draw comparisons between both Akiza Izinski and Jean Grey. Both have incredible psychic powers, both are cursed to be potentially dangerous, and they both hurt the people they love because of their inabilities to control said powers, they both also have someone they cherish who help them control their powers, and the people they love still believe that they can control said powers. Charles Xavier and Scott Summers never gave up on Jean parallel to Yusei never giving up on Akiza despite still hurting him and her own father with her powers when she lost control.

Its so fun watching akiza duels. wish she had more

6:50: That's what I call one hell of an animation

Erica's and Abby's performance were top notch in this episode especially Erica when she was expressing Akiza's mistrust and wariness towards those around her family and Yusei while she was posing with a façade ✊️

Gotta love Akiza and her Black Rose Dragon my favorite female lead, respect for Stardust for getting whipped like a government mule and winning

I never knew Akizas dad was a monster card, so he was just summoned on to the files so he’s level 4 or below, dose he have an effect,if so what is it

The trap yusei used to win the game is the exact same effect as double or nothing. Maybe this card inspired double or nothing,but I’m probably overthinking it

Aye real talk when black rose attack the rest of the signers, stardust really came in clutch asf it set the tone for the come back

Pause at 2:56 and do you see Akiza putting her middle finger at yusei #ThugLifeAkiza XD

To heal her broken heart you need to duel her again. Nice logic.

"If you won't listen to me or your dad, you'll listen to the power of my deck" heh.

Blood rose dragon 17:14-17:18

Stardust dragon and Black Rose Dragon could be old friends. BLACK ROSE DRAGON: We're almost evenly matched old friend 17:08

"Who needs expensive therapy when you can have expensive card games?"

"she don't wanna be saved, don't save her"

It’s sad that Akiza’s only “friend” before meeting Yūsei and the others was a manipulative cult leader who wanted to use her and everyone like her a soldiers and who was going to use a kid as leverage to get his sister to join their little cult. It’s good to see her get actual friends and it is extremely satisfying to see Sayer get exactly what he deserves (twice).

U know akisa reminds lot of carrie white both have psychic powers and always been bully and mock by everyone it almost they're like sisters.

16:12 I've been thinking this the entire time. Its frustrating to see Akiza push away a family that loves her when some of the other main characters lost their families since the day they were born.

“ 17:14 bLoOd rOsE dRaGoN”

I can’t be the only one who thinks that Akiza’s dad looks like Abraham Lincoln, right?

8:14 Yusei "Stardust!" 8:16 Stardust Dragon "I'm on it!"

The duel gives new meaning to the phrase "Love is pain". 😉 It begins 7:46

‏‪6:29‬‏ it was obvious he's gonna synchro summon mr master of faster

Oh yeah. Black Rose Dragon versus Stardust Dragon, clash of the dragons.

The cards to be printed are Iron Resolve (trap), Realize Defense (trap), Synchro Ring (trap) and Doom Petal Countdown (trap)

Did I Hear *Whipping* *A Black Man Has Entered The Chat*

7:24 Woah akiza has watched avengers endgame 😨😂

11:20 *DUMMY THICC*

18:23 Aki/Akiza controls her powers for the first time

17:12 he said blood rose dragon pretty brutal after getting hit a couple times.

16:33 ok stardust that was badass

Akiza: stop trying to reach me. I get your trying to save. Yusei in his mind: I want to save because I love u Akiza's dad: yusei is trying to do everything he can to help her, to save her Perfect boy for my little girl

I love this episode it shows how people feel and how no one knows ones pain

In the end she was a teen with daddy issues

Very heart warming ending.

Is it just me or is yusei always serious in the most emotional moments

Akiza sound like Mai when she use the Seal of Orichalcos

3:22 okay why this card looks like greninja with swords 😂

_Akiza will return in Avengers Endgame_

5:03 - "WIth him missing" ... Lady just watched him fall from how high? Dude is dead.

this show is to good

i like how she never used the card she draws until 10:30.

Tristan from the grave: Just fuck already!

“Power of my deck” 👀

You know what yusie family is dead but akiza family is still alive she is very lucky

Is it just me, or does it sound like Yusei calls Black Rose Dragon Blood Rose Dragon towards the end of the duel?

21:42. Yes, I understand the feeling 😥

Stardust Dragon: How does Yusei end up in these situations, and how do I end up in the middle of them?

At 11:39 yusei's face was amazing

Rose bushes hurt, try falling in one, I haven't but I can feel the pain

I ship akiza because she sexy asf

Akiza is very hot for an anime character, shame no one looks like her in real life 😍

Hands down one of the best seasons hands down

Wait Yusei is looking for silver wing but Lugia is a pokemon not a duel monster 😂😂😂

I love yugioh 5ds

11:00-11:04 Ouch... Akiza got friend zoned 😬

17:13 he said blood rose dragon

5:26: their faces is Priceless xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Surpisedpikachu face.jpg

I swear yusei has every card in the game

This made me cry

Couldnt Akiza just.... surrender instead of getting blasted?! :P 19:03

Akiza is such an edgy emo with daddy issues here glad she calmed down, I remember I cried during this episode

18:26 Akiza pleading 'No' sounds identical to when Mai Valentine took Joey Wheeler's soul with the Seal of Orichalcos in the Waking the Dragons arc. Same VA as well

8:18 Luna: I don't like her when she's angry. BJ Johnson: Neither do i kid at least Yusei managed to get through to her in a Chlidren's card games.

Akiza before:sadistic edgelord yusei:nice guy with one killer bike yusei: please let me help akiza:no yusei:please akiza:....ok fine.

17:13 Blood Rose Dragon?

I Feel The Same Way as Akiza Losing Someone You Care About Really hurts
