Farewell and Thank You!

Yugioh 5D’s Month 2021, Day 31 (8/6): Over the Horizon

This past year has been a rough one, and so much has been challenging. That’s why it has been amazing to have as many participants in 5D’sMonth as we did this year, on multiple platforms too! So this good bye and thank you is for you, all of you, who participated when you could, how you were able. Thank you, so much for making this fifth year anniversary of 5Dsmonth so special. 

Thanks to our tumblr participants:

You all came together and made this year, 5D’smonth’s 5th anniversary special, so thank you. Thank you for your fanfic, art, and diligence. It’s amazing to see how far everyone has come and to know there are plenty of others who still love Yu-Gi-Oh 5D’s out there. 

Don’t forget, you can continue to post late work! We will check the 5dsmonth tag and continue to reblog works! (That’s what I’ll be doing, at least, so no need to worry about late work. We’re not teachers, lol) 

Until next time, see you on the other side of the Horizon!

YU-GI-OH! 5DS MONTH 2021 Day 19 -  You Give Bikers a Bad Name

Rex: Who…are you?

Placido: We are the Yliaster. You may think your future is random, but we’re the ones who set the path.

Rex: How can anyone determine someone else’s fate?

Placido: That’s something you’ll never find out. Because I’m sending you back to the darkness. Which I wouldn’t need to do if you never returned in the first place.

Rex: …I see. I now realize who you are. My brother and I battled against Yusei, but you’re the ones we actually needed to defeat!

Placido: But you can’t. Because it’s not written in your destiny.

Rex: Then I’ll rewrite it! With the power of both the Earthbound Immortal and the Crimson Dragon!

Duel Links is giving us some fascinating character interactions which canon refused to go for.

@ygo5dsmonth2021  Day 24 (7/30): Giganto L

I had this idea that Kiryu would make a great Danny Phantom? But he’s be known as the Grim Reaper instead. He still fights ghosts, but people are a little put off by his dark eyes and mark. When he’s human Kiryu’s eyes go back to normal and his mark is gold again, but he retains a little Dark Signerness when he’s Going Ghost! 

@ygo5dsmonth2021 Day 23 (7/29): Team Spirit!

I’ve given a lot of credit to my OG team, Team 5D’s, but I wanted to give a shout out to a different team. Team Taiyo was absolutely short-staffed when the English Dub of the series came out due to being cut ENTIRELY. They’re a sweet team that’s a little rough around the edges, but they persevered no matter what, and it was disappointing to have their struggles cut entirely when the English Dub came out.

This is for you, Team Taiyo!

@ygo5dsmonth2021  Day 21 (7/27): Delta Eagle

I wasn’t sure what to draw for Bruno’s day, but then I came across the perfect reference! It was also the chance to draw the adorable kitty that’s responsible for Bruno’s split memory problems! 

@ygo5dsmonth2021  Day 19: (7/25): You Give Bikers a Bad Name

I HAD to draw the underestimated and frequently forgotten villain Paradox! He’s gorgeous, has ridiculously difficult hair to draw, and his Malefic style is pretty yet terrifying. He really completes my favorite movie1 

Day 25 (7/31): Bonding with Your Biker Gang

It’s OC appreciation day! Does your friend have a cool OC? Did you make a self insert to join the characters in their story? Show us where your OCs fit in!

I always love to talk about my ladies! So here they are! (Does it say something about me that my 5Ds OCs are all women?)

Let's start with my oldest who recently got a makeover! Miku Fudo!

She is Yusei's one-year older sister and a genius like him. During Zero Reverse she too was sent to Satellite but ended up at another shore and wasn’t taken in by Martha but by a dueling gang. Since the gang couldn’t make out her last name on the tube, they gave her the last name Dragneel. Miku grows up to be a hacker and got arrested four times for theft. At the age of 14 she dared to hack into Sector Security HQ and even got in, but was arrested for it. For that she got a gigantic marker that covers her entire back. At the age of 15, she died of starvation in the Institute and became a Dark Signer of the Ape. (No shade to Devak but he kind of had no real purpose expect the whole Minus Curse and Ancient Fairy deal. And he had no connection to any of the signers) Roman obviously knows who she is, since he had met her a few times before Zero Reverse. She becomes Roman's right hand. Kalin was arrested after she had died and as a Dark Signer, he kept making comments about how much she looks like the guy who betrayed him. Miku paid them no mind, thinking it’s just the rambling of a crazy man. Roman obviously knew that Kalin was right, but didn’t say anything, thinking that piece of information is irrelevant. It’s also Miku who frees Greiger and brings him too Roman. She befriends Misty and Carly. During the final battle she first faces Leo and tries to talk him out of the duel, as she doesn’t want to fight a non-signer, especially not a child. But Leo doesn’t give up and Miku duels him and keeps telling him that his actions are noble yet dangerous and that he has her respect for that. In the end she loses to the twins and apologizes to them that they had to fight. After she is revived, she has to spend another year in a rehabilitation center, since technically her prison sentence is over but Security wants to keep an eye on her regardless. While being released, she has a doctor's appointment and there, Mina finds out that Miku and Yusei are siblings. From that point on, Miku lives with the boys at the Poppo Time but first avoids the twins since she has the memories of their duel and feels about what happened. But Leo and Luna can get through to her and befriend her as well. During the WRGP, Miku is part of the pit crew and takes care of the D-Wheels software together with Bruno. After Leo got her into video games, Miku uses her hacker and programming skills to begin her career as a video game developer.

And now for my Servant Ladies!

Fay, Servant of the Stardust!

Sol, Servant of the Red Dragon!

Black, Servant of the Black-Winged!

And Rose, Servant of the Black Rose!

As their name say, they’re servants of the four Signer Dragons Stardust Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, Black-Winged Dragon and Black Rose Dragon. All four of them used to be signers themselves but died while bearing the mark. Fay and Sol are from the generation that faced the Crimson Devil and Black and Rose were later generations, but all four were already servants when facing the Earthbound Immortals in the event 5000 years prior to the start of the show. Ultimately, all four are now duel monsters but with the ability to take a human form and live on Earth. Their role is it to help their respective signers in their journeys. And they are allowed to explain them everything once a signer has both their respective dragon card and signer mark. (Therefore, Jack wasn’t as easily manipulated by Goodwin since Sol told him everything. And Aki has a whole different character arc since Rose explained to her what her mark means and about her psychic powers. Aki also has a better relationship with her parents here) Their cards are always with their corresponding dragon card. So, when Jack got Red Dragon Archfiend, he automatically got Sol, Servant of the Red Dragon. Which also means that Black got locked away inside the Blackbird with Black-Winged Dragon. She also absolutely despises Bolton. And all of their monster effects are support for their dragon. Rose allows you to use Black Rose Dragon nuke effect but Rose keeps your field save 😉 Also, Fay and Sol are married!

Day 27 (8/2): Intersections

Ah, intersections, like crossroads of destiny. Except today is Crossover day! Maybe you wish Team 5D’s met Avatar Korra? Or what would the Sk8 anime crew do in the 5D’s universe?

Well, I got one crossover for which I’m writing a fanfiction (for now in German, but I plan to translate it when it’s finished). I call it “A Barian in Satellite” and it’s a crossover between 5Ds and Zexal. In this crossover, Crow Hogan does not exist, at least not our Crow Hogan. He used to be a servant of Vectors father and both gingers were friends. However, Crow died by sacrificing himself and through that the Crimson Dragon turned him into Black-Winged Dragon and he became a signer dragon. Post Zexal, Vector regained enough memories to remember his friend but doesn’t remember that he was transformed into a dragon. Through some research and pieces of memories, he finds New Domino City and that the Crimson Dragon was last seen there. Using Galaxy Eyes Tachyon Dragon, he travels back in time to find the Crimson Dragon. But since Tachyon does not like the Barian, Vector is sent 10 years further into the past as a child, where he meets a young Yusei and Jack at Martha's orphanage. So, Vector somehow befriends the two and becomes a member of Team Satisfaction. The Barian takes the spot of our favorite trickster and has to do his best not to mess with the timelines.

Day 29 (8/4): Planetary Gears

What star-crossed ships just seem to fit perfectly together? Or do you want to show off a crack ship for fun? Maybe you have an OC you ship with a Canon character? Never underestimate the love of friendship either! Today is all about love!

My favorite ships in the show are Squabbleship, Firebirdship and Scoopship! I’ll be forever salty that they did noting with Jack and Carlys relationship after the Dark Signer Arc. This man was willing to die with her ToT

And I’m 100% certain that someone on the Zexal character design team took one look at either the baby of Carly's fantasy or Jack and Crow and went “Imma make that character” and created Vector. Because that rat look EXCTLY like Carly's fantasy baby but with Crow's hair color.  You can’t convince me otherwise.

For OCxCanon ship I have Black x Crow. I even made babies. But I gotta decide on either A: does Crow die because he is human and his wife and children are not or B: he becomes a duel monster too because his Blackwings love him too much.

And I’m debating if I should ship Miku with Misty or Kalin.

happy (end of) 5d’s month to our favourite decade old show

YU-GI-OH! 5DS MONTH 2021 Day 14 - Wheel of Fortune

Tiny Jack deciding to (literally) reach the top of the world, after destiny sent him a sign in the form of Tuning Magician.

I love how Arc-V brought it’s legacy characters into the story

YU-GI-OH! 5DS MONTH 2021 Day 15 - Decals

Have a look at some things from my 5D’s collection:

  • stickers from the Yu-Gi-Oh 5D’s sticker collection that was sold in Germany in 2011
  • articles from various german anime magazines from 2009-2011(deck lists, profiles, story recaps…)
  • figures of Red Demons Dragon and Dark Resonator I found randomly in a store long after the store aired here
