[Yu Gi Oh 5D'S OVA Summary - Jump Anime Special]

Many people asked me about this special episode in Yu Gi Oh 5D'S. You might have heard of its story from our forum and site, but I haven't announced officially anything until now. We have just updated the whole summary of this special episode. Thank you very much for our team to work hard together on this stuff. However, please remind that it is just a tentative translation version or about 95% complete. The duel content is almost 100% correct. There is just small thing in some card effects that we are working on and updating. We want to add more details into the summary. I don't want to wait any longer as I haven't heard back from our team for a week, so I decide to release it now. We will update the summary later.

For brief introduction, this episode isn't related to the original anime broadcasted every week on TV Tokyo. It is an original video animation for Jump Fiesta Anime Special Tour in Japan. It is later released in a special DVD coming with Duelist Box on 11/15/2008. The length of this episode is about 30 mins, which is the same as a regular episode. The story is mainly the intensive riding duel between Yusei and Jack in the duel stadium. It's a fierce fight between their evolving ace monsters, Stardust Dragon/Buster and Red Demon's Dragon/Buster. The duel content is complicate and intensive. There is no ongoing story after this episode. It's just a 1 special episode.

Please go to our [Yu Gi Oh 5D'S OVA Summary - Jump Anime Special] for further story. Jack's and Yusei's cards in this episode have already been updated for long. Some may not be complete, but we will update later. You can watch this episode now on Youtube or find it in our [Download Forum].

[5D'S Episode 31 - Summary] is done. We should have done this earlier, but we just wanted to spend time on OVA episode summary due to a ton of request. Other episodes will follow later ne~

[5D'S Episode 24 - Summary] has been released. It may not be important but I just want to make it complete. I have never known that our team hasn't released it yet. Sorry for our internal miscommunication for this missing episode. All episodes in season I should be complete now.

Last warning for the song files in our Trophy Forum! Besides Sound Duel 1, the threads available for download will be there only until the end of next week or after Thanksgiving ne~

[5D'S Episode 32 - Summary] was done and released. Thank for my team, Jpop, who has taken care of various stuffs for weeks. Sorry for being off and on around the site and forum. I am now trying to delegating my work to the others so that we can help me update when I am away. Although we are a bit slow, we are still updating the site every week ne~

I think that many people have already done well on releasing Sound Duel 1 album. Our team has just got the complete files and scans. It's now posted in the forum of the same thread in case someone still need the complete set ne~

Please remind that Single Albums for the second opening, Last Train - Atarashii Asa -, for both Japanese and English versions will be in Trophy's forum until the end of this month. They will be removed to the download forum with restricted access after that. You have time only for a couple weeks to take them there.

Lastly, I would like to thank people who took part in the contest of our 5D'S banner for the main site. There was some miscommunication in my team, so we didn't announce anything on the site but in the forum. The current banner is created by pokeslob who gets the highest vote. Thanks for Jadex, Rikku-chan and worldstraveller for their entries as well. I will post all entries into our gallery later ne~

[Yu Gi Oh 5D'S - Sound Duel 1] is released by forum members in Janime Trophy's Room forum. Janime told us not to release it as people already released it there. So please access to Janime Trophy's Room to get this Sound Duel album.

[Yu Gi Oh 5D'S Rental DVD 5]

Just a short update on Yu Gi Oh 5D'S new rental DVD 5 coming on 11/19/2008. This contains episode 17-20.

[5D'S Episode 30 - Summary] is done. We released this for the sake of Janime. We will also help Janime release Sound Duel 1 which will be released this week but not sure yet to put to the site or forum. Please check when the release date comes.

[Yu Gi Oh 5D'S Sound Duel 1]

I just want to have a quick update on Yu Gi Oh 5D's Sound Duel 1 that is coming out next week on 11/12/2008. If there is nothing wrong, we should be able to release it in the forum next week unless someone has already released it for the public ne~

I thought that I did this before, but someone told me that I haven't updated the full lyric of the second opening, Last Train, yet. Sorry if I did forget it. [Lyric - Yu Gi Oh 5D'S Opening II - Last Train - Atarashii Asa - by Knotlamp] should be ready now ne~

There was some miscommunication and we didn't realize that Janime requested us to update something. So you might not see some update last weeks. We want to update what Janime sent us a message as follows:

[5D'S Episode 23 - Summary] and [5D'S Episode 29 - Summary] were done by GymLeaderLance99 and Janime. We see other summaries unfinished and will release them later if Janime tells us though.

[CD Singles - Cross Game by Alice Nine - Second Ending] will be released on 12/10/2008. The pictures of the CDs are released today. Please keep in mind the release date and not ask anything until time comes.

If you want to see the full song and PV of Cross Game, it's now available on Youtube that anybody can watch.
[Youtube - Cross Game by Alice Nine - Yu Gi Oh 5D'S Ending II]

The last message from Janime is that all files for the second opening - Last Train by Knotlamp, in the trophy's forum will be removed by the end of this month. If you don't get it yet, please hurry.

[Yu Gi Oh 5D'S Opening II - JP Version - Single CD] is now available for download in the forum. Thanks Jpop for compiling everything for us. The file should be available there for only a couple weeks before it is moved to the restricted-access area. Thus, please take it as long as it is still available. All scans and JP lyric should be included. We plan to release romanji lyric on the site later while Horoko should release the full translation soon. Finally, everything should be released onto the site for public, but it may take long time. If you don't want to wait, I recommend you go directly into the forum ne~

[Yu Gi Oh 5D'S Opening II - Single CD]

The official single CD of the second opening - Last Train - Atarashii Asa - (Last Train - New Morning) by Knotlamp has already been released. This is the Japanese version besides English version released in June. We updated this info. for the sake of Janime. Once we get it, probably on Wednesday, we will send it to Janime for further release. Janime should release it in the forum within this week.

Yu Gi Oh 5D'S Sound Duel 1 is rescheduled by the publisher from 10/29/2008 to 11/12/2008. We already adjusted the release date on our site.

[5D'S Episode 28 - Summary] has been released. Thanks for various cooperation that we can catch up with the missing episodes as soon as possible. We are going to have an official single CD for the new opening coming next week. I don't know how fast our team can get the source files, but I do believe that someone may faster release it in the forum. Thus, please check out the forum for any recent or upcoming update ne~

[5D'S Episode 27 - Summary] has been done. The new series has already started a couple weeks ago with a new dark synchro concept. It confuses us a bit to do a math on positive or negative number on (dark) synchro summon. However, it runs more smoothly when we get used to it. At least, all dark synchro monsters are supposed to be negative or minus level. Keeping this concept in mind, we can understand easier how a duel works~

[5D'S Episode 22 - Summary] has been released. Thanks to Darkspellmaster for providing us the summary of this episode. I just edited the details a bit and added more duel details into the summary. Our people are working on other missing episodes as well, and we should have all things posted up very soon ^_^.

[5D'S Episode 26 - Summary] has been released. I should have done this a week ago, but we just took time to check an issue on duel content. Finally, we still couldn't figure it out and left it there with our note. It's the debate on the Yusei's remaining LP whether it should be 400 or 300. Anime seems to presents something in opposite. This may not impact the result of the duel but affect some duel details and character's dialog. In case some of you can catch it by reading our summary, please feel free to let me know so that we can correct our content later ne~

[CD Album - Ghost of the Freedom by Knotlamp] has been released in our forum. It contains all songs from this album, including the full English version of Last Train, the second opening. Other CD scans are provided. Thanks for our team who could get this for us. They are now available in our Janime Trophy forum only, so please check out there. It will remain there for public only for a couple weeks before we move it to the download forum with restricted access. We may move it onto the site later, but it may not be as quick as you get it from the forum ne~

[Yu Gi Oh 5D'S Rental DVD 4]

Just want to have a quick update for Janime on Yu Gi Oh 5D'S new rental DVD 4 coming on 10/15/2008. This contains episode 13-16. There are a lot of 5D's media coming out this month. We are going to have 5D'S Sound Duel 1 along with the single album of the new opening in JP version.

Janime told us to update Cindy's site at [yumeoidaku.info], which contains a lot of official graphic scans from various sources such as Yu Gi Oh Manga Reprint or Yu Gi Oh R. The site also includes Yu Gi Oh 5D'S DVD and postcard scans. Please visit the site directly for more stuffs.

As the new opening songs of Yu Gi Oh 5D'S was released on 10/1/2008 with episode 27 for a new season, there is some confusion that I would like to announce and clarify. There are 2 titles of the song "Last Train" and "Last Train - Atarashii Asa - (New Morning)". Both are the same songs vocaled by Knotlamp, but they are vocaled in different languages. "Last Train" is vocaled in English language. It comes with Knotlamp's album "Ghost of the freedom" released early this year. The song was then altered and vocaled in Japanese language for Yu Gi Oh 5D'S. Its name is slightly changed into "Last Train - Atarashii Asa -". The Japanese version of this song will be released in a single album on 10/22/2008.

I hope that this should clarify some confusion. "Last Train" has been released for a while, so we plan to release English lyric and full song album soon. If you want to listen to this English version, it's now available on Youtube and Barks web sites at the following links:
[Barks - Last Train PV by Knotlamp PV (English Version)]
[Youtube - Last Train PV by Knotlamp (English Version)]


"Last Train - Atarashii Asa-" for Yu Gi Oh 5D's Japanese version hasn't been officially released yet. However, its PV has already been released by Knotlamp last week. You should now be able to listen to it on Youtube as well.
[Youtube - Last Train PV by Knotlamp (JP Version - Yu Gi Oh 5D'S Opening II)]

We plan to release the lyrics soon but don't plan to work on English translation. Hokoro with TnKP usually better does this job, so we will leave this work on that team.

Our forum members have helped one another to collect the songs in various versions. Some Mp3 and movie clips have been released in the forum. We should continue releasing them later from this time on. In case I don't make announcement, I recommend you visit the forum for faster release. I am sometime just too busy to make announcement on the front page but release any stuff directly to the forum. For this time being, I have released only the lyrics of the TV version for both new opening and ending songs. Please refer to the following links for other sources.

[5D'S Episode 25 - Summary] is done. We are wrapping up the missing episodes and our friends are currently working on the others. I just want to skip some and release this first. The others should come very soon.
