Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* The first time Yusei performs a ''Fusion'' Summon, fusing his two most famous monsters (Stardust Dragon and Junk Warrior) to form Surging Dragon Knight Dragonquites. Not only is it a complete mindblow to everyone in the series and a lot of fans, since nobody ever expected him to do that, but the use of [[Crowning Music of Awesome|both versions of Yusei Battle]] (the first when bringing Junk Warrior out, and the 2nd when performing the fusion) is just the cherry on top.

* This troper wants to know how the very first episode escapes mention. Not only does Yusei show that the "card games on motorbikes" idea mocked by [[The Abridged Series]] is workable (and, in fact, quite awesome!), but when he performs the anime's first Synchro Summon...Junk Warrior's entrance just ''commands'' you to cheer.

* Episode 110, Yusei successfully pulls off Accel Synchro and summons, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfyh44Mo2DE Summoning Shooting Star Dragon]. He then reveals its effect: he reveals the top five cards of his deck, and Shooting Star Dragon can attack once for each Tuner monster he reveals. Cue the other four members of the main [[Five-Man Band]] around the city looking at their glowing Signer marks and cheering Yusei on. Yusei draws, revealing Tuner monsters one by one as the five Signer marks light up in sequence on his back with overlaid shots of his friends. As he draws the fifth Tuner, the lines of the mark's body draw out a circle, and the camera pulls back to reveal the full mark of the Crimson Dragon lit up. Placido has just enough time to go "[[Oh Crap]]! [[This Cannot Be!]]!" before Yusei orders Shooting Star Dragon to attack five times, destroying the Machine Emperor piece by piece and giving Placido a serious case of [[Critical Existence Failure]] as his motorcycle blows up underneath him. And while all this is going on, the background music starts out low and quiet and grows faster and louder with every draw.

* Ep 122 is an even bigger one, where Yusei uses Shooting Star dragon to beat Sleeping Giant Thud, a monster said to rival the 3 Egyptian god cards. All with Clear Mind playing in the background a second time.

* The way he defeats Harald of Team Ragnarok.

*** Not really. He successfully used Harald's own tricks against him. Given that Yusei {{spoiler|prevented him from seeing his set card, he really left Harald to question what that set card was that was so worth protecting. He decided he had to win there and then, in case said set card would stop Gjallarhorn from working}}.

**** So at what point does "Yusei using his own tricks against him" somehow explain "Tyr's effect suddenly not working for no reason at all?"

***** Harald activated the Eye of Odin, negating the effects of his three Polar Gods to see Yuusei's set card (Zero Force). He then chains Tyr's effect to Eye of Odin, tributing Tyr to stop their effects from being negated. That means at this point, he would've been able to see the set card, Thor's effect would've made Shooting Star Dragon's effect useless and Odin's effect would've made the Polar Gods unable to be affected by Zero Force anyway. Then, at the end of the turn, Yuusei would've taken 10,000+ damage. Basically, Yuusei would've been inescapably screwed. But he [[Spanner in the Works|gums up the works]] by chaining Trick Mirror to Tyr's effect. He used The Eye of Odin's effect as his own, negating the effects of all three Polar Gods. Tyr had already been tributed at a lower link in the chain, so it couldn't protect the Gods from another effect higher up on the chain, and Eye of Odin couldn't see Yuusei's set card, because the God's effects were negated by Trick Mirror, so Harald had no way to pay the cost for Eye of Odin. Harald was reasonably flustered that Yuusei had broken his move so easily, no doubt thought that the set card was something to reflect Gallahorn's damage and went to go beat Shooting Star Dragon's face in before Yuusei could activate it (reasonable enough logic since about two rounds earlier, Yuusei very nearly beat Jean with a card named 'Reflect Barrier' that reflects any effect damage to the opposing player). It was an uncharacteristically complicated chain of events for 5D's, but that's about as close as I can come to figuring it out. Basically, Yuusei used a combination of extremely good timing and his opponent's own overconfidence to escape an unwinniable situation.

******* Which is probably why he decided to make sure what Yuusei's facedown was; it's pretty much a given that he'd at least glanced at some of Yuusei's duels before the match, which would tell quite a bit of how often Yuusei [[Ass Pull|pulls out completely out-of-the-fricking-blue turnarounds]] against opponents who are too sure of their own win to bother noticing what Yuusei's doing over on the other side of the track (like, say, the duel against Team Taiyo immediately before). Harald had no way of knowing that Trick Mirror wasn't actually a miracle "negate-the-effects-of-all-DIVINE-type-monsters-and-destroy-them" card ex machina, so sacrificing some safety for assurance was actually the most logical course of action for someone like Harald, who wins by anticipating the moves of other players, but doesn't have a magical psychological card-sense like Andore. Which, of course, was [[All According to Plan|exactly what Yuusei was waiting for]].

* Savior Star and Shooting Star batallions to wipe out multiple cards. The CGI is amazing. Oh. My. GOD.

** He also gets another moment in ep. 78 against Luciano and his Machine Emperor Skiel Infinity. After Luna had unknowingly walked right into his plan and practically given him Ancient Fairy Dragon, Leo makes what effectively amounts to the card game equivalent of a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] just to get it back for her. {{spoiler|Sure, they lose and he just about makes an ''actual'' Heroic Sacrifice, but ''boy'' does he royally piss Luciano off in the process!}}

{{quote|'''Leo''': I'll never let you have Ancient Fairy Dragon! I'm not a Signer, but Luna, who has a Signer birthmark, is my pride and joy! And I'll protect Ancient Fairy Dragon, who is a symbol of that!}}

* In episode 138, Luna jumping from Akiza's motercycle to Yusei's ''while they were moving at high speed''.
