Still watching dubs. In the original, does Keith have a gun at the conclusion of his duel with Jounouchi? Because from how he's holding his hand when he points sternly at Pegasus, I think they edited out a gun again.

100 college things 48

Spring registration starts Sunday. I don't want to take more than twelve credits; I can't take fewer and still get full-time-student financial aid. I think what I want to do is take Women of Color in the US (three credits, women's studies major), Transgender Politics (three credits, queer studies minor, though given the teacher's name I do not trust that it's only three credits' worth of work), English Composition (300-level edition, three credits, writing minor), and one of Spanish 111 (four credits, language requirement for BA), Digital Pornography (three credits, fills the Science Technology and Society baccalaureate core requirement, and stop looking at me like that), and Sustainability for the Common Good (three credits, fills either the STS requirement or the Contemporary Global Issues requirement). With the observation that if I take Spanish this term, I'm essentially locking myself into taking Spanish for the five terms following too because I have forgotten nearly all the Spanish I learned the first time I took a college-level Spanish class and I don't want to do that again, and the observation that I might not be allowed in Spanish 111 because I did take introductory Spanish already (hey, that sounds like a thing to email BA advisor about), and the observation that baccalaureate core courses have to get done eventually.

Oh for fuck's sake, show. Pegasus said something about the Toon Summoned Skull being a "very sensitive toon". The show opted to illustrate this point by giving said monster eyelashes, lipstick, and a little floating pink heart.

...you know, the Kaiba Corp takeover plan makes no sense. The Big Five (the primary investors not named Kaiba in said corp, or possibly the board of directors, I'm not clear) have offered chairmanship of the board to Pegasus if Pegasus (or a duelist representing him, which would be anybody in the tournament) beats Yuugi in a duel, idea being to broadcast the recording of the duel and thus restore the reputation Kaiba Corp lost when Yuugi beat Seto Kaiba. Let's pretend this makes sense so far.

In his duel with Yuugi, Pegasus is openly cheating.

Approximately every second sentence he says makes sense only if one's hearing the Yuugi-thoughts voiceover that immediately precedes Pegasus's remarks. And half the rest are about how his Millennium Eye lets him read Yuugi's thoughts. Most of the audience for the Big Five's broadcast of this duel won't believe that, because this isn't a world where magic is a Known Thing, but they will believe he's cheating. How could broadcasting that possibly restore reputation points to the Pegasus-led Kaiba Corp?

And then of course Pegasus forgets all about Kaiba Corp and moves the duel to the Shadow Realm, and I sincerely doubt the cameras can see the action...
