Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

* [[Fan Dumb]]: When ''Zexal'' was first unveiled, fans translated the previews into ''"[[Rule of Cool|Exceed Summons]]"'' and Shark's Number as ''"[[Rule of Cool|Revise Dragon]]"''. When the official spellings were announced, it was revealed that they were supposed to be ''"Xyz Summons"'' (but pronounced as "ik-seez") and ''"Leviath Dragon"''. Needless to say, some fans went ape shit. Some are still in denial even now, refusing to acknowledge the real names and just being angry dicks to anyone who tries to correct them. Averted by the guy who actually did the translating, saying that he was doing so with no context and that the official spellings are correct.

* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: Kaito has a habit of whistling a quite eerie melody to announce his presence in a time-stop.

** [[Left the Background Music On|Said melody is also present in his]] [[~~Leitmotif|~~leitmotif]].

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: A normal guy teaming up with an ancient bodyless being to restore said being's body by defeating opponents using powers similar to their own; sounds like ''[[Kamen Rider OOO]]'' to me.

** Quite a few shows have that premise, what really connects this to ''OOO'' is a certain role [[Miyu Irino|Astral's Seiyuu]] has on that show.

Line 18:

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The effect of Giant Killer... Or it would be if the animation was graphic and not incredibly stylized.

** It would have been much worse if its only on-screen victims were not machine monsters.

* [[Pandering to ~~The~~ Base]]: While the franchise is aimed at kids to begin with, the series seems to be deliberately appealing only to the younger kids for having a brighter, more childish art style, a protagonist who's much younger then the previous ones ([[Idiot Hero|and acts like it too]]), a general [[Lighter and Softer]] feel and having a quiz show [[Viewers are Morons|explaining some of the most basic concepts of the game]]. Oddly enough, the series also featured many [[Call Back|Callbacks]] to ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (~~Anime~~)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]: Duel Monsters'', which could be seen as pandering to the original fanbase.

** It's not a case of [[Viewers are Morons]]: if they're explaining the rules, it's because they're explaining the rules to their newer, younger audience.

* [[Ruined FOREVER]]: The series quite quickly became a [[Base Breaker]] with more than a few fans declaring it as this.

* [[So Bad It's Good]]

* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Some people who were fond of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh ~~5 Ds (Anime)~~|Yu-Gi-Oh 5 Ds]]''' [[Darker and Edgier]] tone don't like that the characters...even though it's not guaranteed that the series won't have its dark moments.

* [[The Scrappy]]: Even though the series is still new Yuma is the least liked protagonist so far due to his lack of duelling skill, hypocrisy really stubborn nature and his screw ups take up unnecessarily large amounts of screen time. Tokunosuke is also unpopular since he's a slimy cheat who was too easily forgiven and generally causes more harm than good to those around him.

* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Astral is male.
