I like how you can hear Zarc’s voice turn into Yuya, Yuto, Yugo and Yuri’s voices at the end. And just how they’re showing who’s the good guy and bad guy. Zarc’s face is shrouded by darkness while Ray’s is illuminated by light. Simple but effective

And I still can’t escape… Not that I want to xD
I have watched the Yuya vs Yuri duel probably too many times for it to be healthy but I noticed there seems to be a pattern in episode 135 that Yuya or Yuri would squint a specific eye when making specific statements.
Notice how whenever Yuri talks about become one, he squints his left eye while Yuya would squint his right eye whenever he refuses to become one. Originally I would count this as a coincidence but then I remembered 140. When Yuya revives Supreme King Dragon Zarc, Zarc takes over this eye.
Zarc takes over the right eye, the exact eye that Yuri has open when he states what Zarc wants and the eye the Yuya closes when he’s trying to fighting Zarc’s influence. I think that Zarc is connected to the right eye while the Dragon Boy’s own conscious is connected to the left eye.
Whenever Yuya’s powers starts to grow, we see it in Yuya’s LEFT eye
The fact Zarc is revealed to have taken over Yuya’s body in 135 is shown by Zarc flashing Yuya’s left eyes shows that Yuya’s consciousness is connected to his left eye.
And then 140 just continues this. Zarc talking about him creating Pendulum summoning is shown by Zarc’s face being overlayed over Yuya’s while only Zarc’s right eye is open.
And when Yuya is refusing Zarc’s declaration that he just wants to kill everyone, only Yuya’s left eye is open.
The final proof is that in the end of the Zarc vs Ray/Reira duel, Zarc is fighting back control from Yuya with their right eye open. While Yuya’s left eye is barely open and struggling to stay open
But Yuya opens his left eye fully when he takes back full control and signals for Ray/Reira to finish the duel.
It really shows that the staff really planned out everything thus why Yuya and Zarc’s oldest and trusted ace monster is ODD-EYES, the monster with two different eye colors. Odd-Eyes’ design is meant to show how conflicted Yuya is, representing Zarc’s destructive impulsives and Yuya’s ideals.

Takeru: Why, thank you, Yusaku. When's your birthday?
Yusaku: I have no idea.
Yusaku: I don’t really have friends.
Takeru: Bold words from someone in my hugging range.
the entire fucking show was sad
Guh, seriously there are a lot of sad moments in this show.
Some of the peak saddest moments to me, though, include Yuto’s “death” in Yuya’s arms, the entire Yuya/Reiji vs. Leo duel, Yusho being carded by Yuri, and the one that is reeeeally close to being my top sad pick, which would be Yuya’s breakdown over Smile World during his duel with Yuri…
But… none of those make me as sad as
ugh kill me for going out of my way to screencap this
Ugh. My heart hurts. So much.
I was gonna talk abotu this more but
augh
It’s just…
I know Zarc fucked up. I’m not excusing anything he did.
But…
It’s not exactly just one “moment” in particular, per say, but…
All the details about his backstory, what society led him to believe, his origins as a well-intentioned duelist and entertainer who was just corrupted beyond repair, who held all this hurt for seemingly years because of how far he was pushed and his misunderstanding… and all the implications of the kind of person he really was before going insane and his overall connection to the Yuus, Yuya especially… and the fact that none of the Yuus were inherently bad per say (and yes, I’m arguing this for Yuri too because his environment basically pushed him in that extreme sadistic direction too)…. well…
So many things in this show make me sad, but I can’t tell you how much time I’ve spent thinking about what a sad direction Zarc’s life took…
Nothing in this show makes me sadder than Zarc himself tbqh…
And yet it’s like I’ve said once before,… even though he fucked up, I don’t think he deserved what happened to him (losing himself, I mean) and yet still… I couldn’t be thankful enough for what happened to him because had he not gone through that, the Yuus wouldn’t have existed and just wow… what a fucking rollercoaster of feels tbh

Sometimes i think Annalise is a decent character. Then i remember she ruined everything amd deserves to burn.
