Team Satisfaction Revisited, part one
[The August issue of Seiyuu Grand Prix featured another interview with some of the 5D’s voice actors. I just received my copy yesterday, so I’ll be translating the interview in sections over the next few days. This will also be posted at ygo_5ds on LiveJournal, where my user name is skrymiir.]
The bond of comradeship…
That holds us together across time and space!
Yuugiou 5D’s Group Interview
Miyashita Yuuya x Hoshino Takanori x Asanuma Shintarou x Ono Yuuki
[Translator’s Note: Is it wrong that I want to read this as a shipping diagram?]
The latest series, “Yuugiou 5D’s”, depicts the future several decades after the time of “Yuugiou Duel Monsters”. The four duelists of Team Satisfaction, who saw action in the Dark Signer arc that reached its blazing climax, gather here for us!
Story: Seventeen years ago, an incident called “Zero Reverse” divided Neo Domino City into an elite area, the City, and a slum area, the Satellite. Fudou Yuusei, Jack Atlas, Izayoi Aki, and Ruka awaken as “Signers of the Crimson Dragon” by fighting in the Duel of Fortune Cup tournament for riding duels, which are duels conducted while mounted on speeding D-Wheels. They must fight the Dark Signers, guardians of the gate of darkness, to prevent the revival of the King of the Netherworld.
●The team members are all main-character quality
Interviewer: First, please introduce your character and his role in the team.
Asanuma: I’m Crow the Bullet, Team Satisfaction’s “Kamikaze Captain”. I feel if it wasn’t Yuugiou, Crow would be the main character. Quick to fight, kind to kids, he’s the good old-fashioned hot-blooded hero type. To tell the truth, I think he has the most common sense of the four.
Miyashita: Yuusei is so skilled with his hands, he can even build his own Duel Disk and D-Wheel, so he’s Team Satisfaction’s “Professor”. There’s also a tendency to leave the final decision to Yuusei, so I get the feeling he’s a kind of unofficial leader.
Hoshino: I’m Jack Atlas, Team Satisfaction’s “Billboard”.
Other three: Billboard :-)
Hoshino: Because he’s the most conspicuous. :-) The solitary King… is what he was, but in the Team’s day he wasn’t solitary, and often smiled. There’s a scene where they all laugh together for about half a minute, that’s how satisfied they were. I think looking back at his past establishes Jack’s depth of personality and bond with Yuusei and the others.
Ono: Bringing up the rear, I’m the Team’s “Satisfaction King”, Kiryuu Kyousuke.
Asanuma: There he goes again~ :-)
Miyashita: Isn’t it awful. :-)
Hoshino: Sounds like a discount shop. We can’t be satisfied with that. :-)
Ono: Eh~?! He’s the leader, and this is how they treat him. :-) He loves to duel and he’s incredibly devoted to his comrades. But because his feelings are too strong, when he thinks Yuusei betrayed him, his love warps into hatred just as intense. He comes to an unnatural end and becomes a Dark Signer.
