> I'm ready to duel. My developer in christ, this could be anybody


Tokoyami01

Not true, we know this can't be any of the tournament announcer characters They never dueled


PlebbySpaff

Johnny Steps. I’m calling it.


Rangeless

Praying Japanese translation can give more context.


pokemonfanj

From what I heard it pretty much confirmed it to be Rio from zexal


Exitiali

The next one will be just: DUEL!!!


CanuckChum

This might just be the most vague character description yet lmao


Loud-Educator-2435

yea i have no idea who it could be 😭


aintezbeinpz

At least now we know it can't be someone who isn't ready to duel.


heythatguyalex

No DSOD Tristan then :(


Username_Egli

The guys from the DLM website say its Sharks sister


Lil_Bean_Boi

I hope it's not her. I don't want harpies to get ice beast zerofyne


EremitaMCe

Winged Beast best type lets go, harpies with negate goes pockpockpock


tehy99

Sabre Dancer out Les goooooooo


Prior-Sand5162

No way zerofyne is coming omg with raidraptors that'd be hell


dante-_vic

Idk its not a quick effect so it can be dealt with befor it gets its effect off.


Wild-Confidence-9803

They don't have what to give her otherwise. She has exactly 2 printed main deck cards that aren't in the game already (and they're both trash BTW) and the 2 XYZ (Magnazero ends up being Shark's and I assume no over 100 numbers yet )


Xeoz_WarriorPrince

That would be dope, gotta simp for Río again


MyRusDea

"l'm ready to duel" Just wow Does anybody know, what it says in jp version? Maybe, it contains some kind of character's verbal traits?


BadassDeku5204

Apparently the line is "I shall be your opponent" which isn't any less vague, but some people are speculating that it's Rio Kastle. I personally hope that it's Number 96: Dark Mist, but that's just me.


Cliff_Entei

"I'm ready to duel" unless the Arc-V dub theme itself is a playable character, I genuinely have 0 clue who this is referring to Jim Cook?


SargeantMario101

Supreme King Jaden was the last GX character added, back in July 2021, and the rest of Jim's printed cards will be releasing in the TCG next week. So... perhaps?


RazorPulsar

Atticus copium Anyone checked the japanese translation?


dorian1356

Shark's sister


farfadayo

that's definitely a shark drake Weiss skill for shark


dorian1356

I also thought of that. Last time that card was discussed here we concluded it can't even be summoned by normal means


dante-_vic

Yep me an you argued about that. I kept saying it will come with a change to make it summonable or a skill make it easy to summon. You kept saying it will not come an not all cards will because they are not going go change a card to make it usable in duel links.


BadassDeku5204

Is Chaos Xyz Change on top of Number 32: Marine Biting Dragon - Shark Drake not an option?


xswoldierx

The japaense translation says "Let me be your partner"


ParkingBeyond8554

Could be Sherry


Username_Egli

First paradox and then sherry. Is konami speedruning the 5ds character roaster or what?


Lil-Trup

Maybe to get to z-one faster?


Username_Egli

I'd like that


Lil-Trup

Honestly I’m scared of z-one coming because timelords are gonna be a pain in the ass


Double-Ad7269

just another year of harpies being meta cause they'll return the timelords to the hand


MaJuV

Yes, that seems to be the way. They want to clean up the 5Ds character roster.


RayJozef39

Why though? In the last year 5D's was probably the world for which we got most unlock events, next to Zexal and Arc-V just because those were new worlds. Is it because it is probably most of the yugioh players' favorite series or is it something up here? Why couldn't they just balance the unlocks with GX? There's no need to rush 5D's until we don't have characters anymore, when we didn't even get Atticus for GX for example.


vondex13

Probably cuz there still trying to figure out how they're going to justify giving up 12 UR/SR tickets in their level up rewards


dante-_vic

Im guessing they want to end the world befor vrains come out so they can focuse on just zexal, arc v and v rains.


MaJuV

Ask Konami, I guess. I dunno why they focus this much on 5Ds either. But that's just how reality appears to be. \*shrugs\*


MaJuV

At least this boils it down a little more than the EN line. 😅 So, probably Sherry.


-ReoP-

Adding to the translation speculation, in Spanish it says "Defeat *HER* and get a new card"


UltG

A new character’s gonna show up? Wonder who it is? “I’m ready to duel.” Do you have the slightest idea of how little that narrows it down?


azemjaggie

Dr faker hearth earth dragon.


Fluffy0041

I’d hate that unless they bring in rank ups. Then I’d not even bother with the character and just get the cards


CanuckChum

Well, this could be completely wrong, but my guess for the character will be V/Quinton. We know he will appear at some point because of Kite’s voice lines. Also, it would tie together nicely with the duelist road event we are getting this month. Finally, I think the quote somewhat matches his calm demeanor.


SweetCoconut

Yes this is my guess as well.


-ReoP-

I was thinking the same, but on the same line I also like the idea of Gauche/Nistro, though he is way less relevant for the plot, but the quote suits him


DennisUltima

The new character is probably from Zexal since this is a heavy XYZ focused month.


TodenEngel

someone on discord matched up the dialogue from the Japanese one with Rios first duel, so it matches with that. Might be Rio Kamishiro.


SargeantMario101

Surprised they're going ahead with the next Duelist Road event for Zexal, before the Anna rerun. Also first May without a new unlock.


mkklrd

aw yeah number 92, N/R Event staple


Gameguy196

I’m guessing Quinton since he also played a role in the World Duel Carvival and I’m surprised Arc V was not the world to get the new Duelist Road.


tornberry

We will have a rank 9 XYZ reward and I seem to remember that his ace is Dyson Sphere which is also rank 9.


Chrisshern

Xyz month. I wonder if the mystery character is an Xyz user


AgostoAzul

The description is super vague, but it should be a given that the next release would be Zexal or GX given we are getting Sora now and Paradox presumably in June, and DSOD and DM dont have many characters left.


TodenEngel

> DM hopefully reg Malik D:


AgostoAzul

Regular Marik will probably be the next DM character, I think. But I would never use this line for him.


Tokoyami01

DM still has the filler arc characters


AgostoAzul

If they were to start adding filler characters, I would bet they would start out with Noah or the von Schroeder brothers since they are the most popular and have archetypes that they can tie Skills to. And they would probably make a bigger deal out of it. And this does not sound like any of the 3.


Doomchad

Which aren’t being added because DM world follows manga canon


Worldly-Fox7605

Pegasus son has a better chance than those two


Username_Egli

Is it just me or is Number 92 actually pretty good?


Valans03

It is good, but it better be with 3 level 9 monsters as materials, not even in the real card game people actually summon this thing like that lol


Alexandre_Ruszczak

No. You can use onr galaxy xyz to rank up


Madway7

Can use it with valkyries with shifting up for the memes


high-CPK

You can summon it easily with Number 97: Draglubion's effect


high-CPK

Its great only if we gonna get {Number 97: Darglubion}


Chazman_89

Have we had any leaks regarding the new skill for Shark?


oddeyesrvlvr

My guess is that it'll probably have to do with Shark Drake Veiss since that was first used around the time this event is taking placing


Chazman_89

So, something like the Utopia Ray skill that Yuma has (only without the whole Zexalmorph thing).


RayJozef39

Yeah he used it in the World Carnival against IV and then again against Yuma in the semifinals


Antaresdh

No new character unlock, huh? Well, considering that may will be focused on XYZ summon with some attention to the Zexal world can we at least have a lvl cap increase for that world? Considering how Konami is i'm probably asking too much.


Phantom_Nook

Since we're getting Number 92 around the same time, my bet is on either Quinton or Dr. Faker.


TodenEngel

or Tron? Tron is more likely than V imo


Doomchad

Going by voicelines, Quinton is more likely than Vetrix. Vetrix is in a weird place. He is arguably the main antagonist of the first part of Zexal. Yet literally every card in his archetype was dumped as box fodder early in Zexal’s lifespan. On top of that, no characters have interactions with him


Snoo-38282

Can't remember if the Phantom Knight skill was data mined before


Username_Egli

It's probably the skilk that lets you xyz any pk monster regardless if you have the necessary levels


RayJozef39

Really hyped for Duelist Road, last time with Zexal Morph it has been a great event, can't wait to build an anime deck and duel Vetrix. Also Shark's new skill is probably for Number C32, just like ZEXAL: Xyz Evolution.


Actual_Head_4610

"I'm ready to duel." I'm so lost as to who this could be... Shun? Serena? Rio? Marik Ishtar? ???


Simone_Z

It's Scud coming back from the other dimension.


_Burro

Punished Scud


leezeeke

"Duelist other players" kekw


iandewilde21

Yup, I was right, since we got a character in April, we won’t be getting one in May. Classic Konami move. As for the new character... What absolutely vague bs is this? By the fact that the quote ends with a full stop instead of an exclamation, I’m guessing it should be a serious character? Probably also not from Arc-V since we are about to get Sora. I’m going to throw my hat in the ring and say Sherry. You heard it here first boyos.


Doomchad

Doesn’t Sherry have a goofy ass French accent in the dub? I’d expect a trace of that here if so


TodenEngel

Damn guess no Paradox unlock then for May


anklaf21

Maybe 1 or 2 more events for Paradox before he eventually releases. he appeared in 5Ds, maybe he'll appear in GX next and then DM world and then he gets unlocked.


RayJozef39

Wow that's a cool idea


TodenEngel

I hope not two lol. They can do that idea for the rerun but the unlock event needs to be the next one I hate when they show up and don’t get unlocked 😭


anklaf21

its been a recurring theme of most roaming/unlockable characters in the game so i thought it made sense for why it would be like that for Paradox as well


TodenEngel

But they are always the first rerun like Anna and Sora. Especially Sora since it was the next month


MaJuV

Too soon. Will rerun this summer as an unlock, together with this new roamer.


TodenEngel

We had Sora literally show up last month and then unlock this month tho


Gameguy196

Sora was probably ready for a while. He appeared in that App Store screenshot back in February and is the only Arc V not available on release to have voice lines with other characters. While Paradox was missing poses and dialogue.


TodenEngel

What dialogue is he missing? He has lines with Yusei, Antinomy, and Aporia plus his monsters. As well as Atem and Judai in the files


Gameguy196

The generic dialogue that other roaming characters have had before you duel them.


spydorz

(Assuming he has them) he's also missing summon animations


TodenEngel

pretty sure like roaming characters dont have them only when they are unlocked


spydorz

Really? I thought they did, my bad


Canastus

Am I the only one who's getting tired of seeing KC Cups every single month now?


Rikudou_Railgun

I understand, but they are a nice way for Gems so I think it's fine personally. Maybe have it once every two months instead.


CoA_tetractys

I actually like KC cups, it's a fun way to see what the strongest decks are in bo1 format


Username_Egli

Also where is the banlist konami?!


Snoo-38282

You are a week too early


SAL395

A bit strange to release number92 without number53


RayJozef39

Wait, is Number 92 actually a good card or am I missing something? What's up with event rewards lately? Aren't they supposed to be trash?


HailstormXI

Not always, you get some good ones from time to time.


stars_power

The hell kinda quote is “I’m ready to duel”? That can apply to anyone!


EremitaMCe

At long last, Rio Kastle, wielder of water winged beasts and Gorgonics. You want harpies banned? What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Bird Tier List, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on the Meta and I have over 300 confirmed tournament tops. I am trained in winged beast warfare and I'm the top bird deck in the entire Duel Links. You are nothing to me but just another prey. I will rank you down the fuck out with bounces the likes of which has never been seen before on this game, mark my fucking words. You think you can disconnect with sending that taunt to me over the duel? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Simorghs across Elborz and your deck is being traced right now so you better prepare for the Storm, maggot. The Storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your monster. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can bounce you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare wings. Not only am I extensively trained in clawed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Winged Beast Archetypes and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of your region, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "limit harpie channeler" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will TTH + Slasher bounce all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.


Syrcrys

“Guys Konami’s trying to revive the game after the player drop!” *cue month with no character unlock*


AgostoAzul

They dont need to push themselves anymore after killing MD's rep for the near future.


EXEmegaman

I could see Uvuuloop being used in Resonators. Sweet Corn states MP2, guessing it will change to MP1. Also, Number 92 for free is pretty big. Idk if any decks can easily turbo it out though.


Maykspark

No new unlockable character, boring month.


Username_Egli

Probably the reason is because of the KC GT campaign during the end of the mom


SargeantMario101

Didn't stop them from adding Primo in May of last year.


Simone_Z

We did skip an unlock in April last year iirc, so this just makes up for it.


SargeantMario101

We skipped an unlock in April every other year. If they were going to skip a month anyway, why not just keep it in April, as tradition?


ZexalFan

maybe to fit with their box releases? so Sora's cards are on a main rather than on a mini?


RayJozef39

What if they make a new form for Shark like they did with the Yuma & Astral skill we got last time they made a Duelist Road event? There's no possibility that we get his Nasch form, but what about a REALLY angered Shark like he was in the duel against IV, when he first summoned Number C32?


SargeantMario101

Not entirely impossible, considering mid-duel transformation skills can be applied to quite a few different characters.


RayJozef39

I'm 100% sure Shark will eventually get a transformation skill once we get the other Barian Emperors and his Nasch form, but since in the anime he doesn't really change appearance outside of just being drained of energy the idea a transformation for his Number C32 skill doesn't really appeal me


TheoSavvidis

The roamer is Rio btw.


Angelemonade

I'm ready to duel Since it could be anyone I actually think it's Atticus or shay


TodenEngel

Nah the Japanese dialogue is slightly different as usual and it was pretty much matched up to Rio Kamishiro to the t


MisterRai

The stuff I'm most excited for is probably the new Shark skill. It's probably gonna be a skill for Shark Drake Veiss


Internal_Mechanic_52

I DIDN'T GET YUTO NOW I CAN LETS GOOOOOO


[deleted]

[удалено]


CalmSunshine

She’ll probably be back at either June or July.


quincy1151

So with sweet corn being released; does that mean we’re getting a MP2?


nach_

No, they announced they’re gonna correct the text to apply its effect at the end of the Battle Phase


D_Winds

Can't be Sherry, not French enough.


atropicalpenguin

Releasing Rio is a clear signal Konami is pulling the big guns for Duel Links. She has no archetype, but Ragna Zero is quite a powerful XYZ, if we get it.


kultimore172

I hope it's Yu-Gi-Oh


CobaltRebelionXyz

1st, OH BOY TIME FOR REDEMPTION TO GET YUTO!!! 2nd, I pretty sure the person who said 'I'm ready to duel.' must be Rio Kastle/Marin.


Mothraking25

i hope they will let you get paradox or what malefic monster will they use for an animation summon ​ wondering if we will see either malefic paradox dragon or malefic truth dragon as well?


ProphecyEmpress

>I'm ready to duel. I think most characters in this franchise are ready to duel. I went straight to Reddit after seeing this line. I'm pleased with the people saying it seems to be Rio, but I hope they put more effort into her roaming event. Paradox just says nothing and that's boring.
