News and rumors!
Indelible Smile is going permanent! I just got the order in today, and we should see Squeaky acknowledge it sometime next week (maybe with a slight delay for the holiday weekend here in the U.S.). I really couldn’t work up the enthusiasm to finish the fairyland episodes, could I. All those episodes, and we still find out nothing about Dimak. I would be even more indignant except for a rumor I saw on 2channel. It seems some of the posters there are claiming they recognize his voice actor doing another role on the series recently -- an uncredited “mystery man” role. Dimak as true head of the Dark Signers?
I’m beginning to think I should give up watching the show itself and just read 2channel, it’s more entertaining. I liked their theory of what happened to Bomber -- that he wasn’t a survivor of the disaster in his home town, that he died there and was secretly a Dark Signer already at the time of the Fortune Cup -- better than what actually happened.
By the way, if ordinary folks like Rua and Crow can fight and defeat Dark Signers, what do we need the Signers for? (Or is Crow secretly not ordinary folks? Does the M stand for Moment, and he’s the true head of the Signers? Just rumors.)
Another persistent rumor going around is that after the angsty Dark Signer story arc there will be a light, mild, heartwarming arc. No one can really imagine what that means in 5D’s context, although the most common guess has something to do with back-to-school. At one point, Aki did mention having been in some type of dueling school, so we know they exist in 5D’s. She was in a middle school, though, not GX’s Duel Academia, which was a high school. Too bad, we might even have had a crossover with some of the GX characters the way GX did with some of the DM characters!
