The meaning of "Kattobingu!"

Hey, YuJaYu here! I am here to inform you of the meaning of the catchphrase of Yuma Tsukumo, the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh ZEXAL, known as "Kattobingu". I have gotten a lot of questions about what does it mean. Well, I am going to tell you. Literally, it means 'Pop Flying', but it can mean other things as well, such as: "Bring it to 'em", "I won't Give Up!" and "Rise to the Sky". For the first time, in a Japanese-dubbed Yu-Gi-Oh series, we have a catchphrase. In the English-dubbed version, we have a few catchphrases, Yugi's being "It's Time to Duel!", Jaden's being "Get your Game On!" and Yusei's being "Rev it Up!". I just wish the "Kattobingu" wasn't used so much. It is so so so very annoying when they used it at least six times in the first episode. Not a good start for your catchphrase, Yuma. YuJaYu out!!!

Just pictures

These are just a couple of cool pictures I found. The second one is hilarious and I wish it would happen in ZEXAL!

ZEXAL Ep. 1 - Kattobingu daze, Ore!

Hey, YuJaYu here, with info about Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Episode 1! First, the summary: "Set in the near future, Yuma Tsukumo aims to become a future Duel Champion. He's a 13-year-old with an energetic spirit, and with 'Kattobingu!' as his catchphrase, he challenges everything and believes in himself. But his Dueling skills are horrible and amateurish. In this future, Exceed Summons and Exceed Monsters are the favorite way to play. D-Gazers and D-Pads are used in Duels. One day, Yuma's friend Tetsuo Takeda has his Deck stolen from him, by Ryoga Kamishiro. To get Tetsuo's Deck back, Yuma challenges him to a Duel. Ryoga then shatters Yuma's most prized possession, his pendant given to him by his mother that he wears around his neck. This angers Yuma, so he shouts 'Kattobingu!' and gets the Duel on! Ryoga fiercely beats Yuma down with his Shark monsters, and Yuma has no way to counter. Then when Yuma is down to his last 1000 Life Points, a creepy door shows up and repairs his broken pendant. Then Yuma opens the door with the pendant, returning himself to the real world. Ryoga then Exceed Summons his No. 17 Revise Dragon! But then, when Yuma looks up, he sees a mysterious spirit hovering above him. Yuma asks, "Who are you?". That's it for the summary, now time for the review: First off, I thought the opening and ending songs were awesome. The episode, not so much. The character designs=UGH. They look horrible and there are too many colors. The D-Gazers and D-Pads=what's the point? They are just stupid accessories and act the same as a Duel Disk. The characters=just plain idiotic. Yuma's a clumsy moron, Ryoga's a deep-voiced bully, Tetsuo's just plain fat, Kotori is ineffectual, and they are all just plain STUPID! The catchphrase, Kattobingu, is repeated way too many times in a single episode for it to really have any meaning. The Duel Monsters are okay, I guess; except for the Exceed Monster. That was just weird. I mean, why couldn't they have stuck with Synchros? Those are what changed the game, and Exceeds will never, ever have the same impact as Synchros did. Also, all the characters have a tendency to over-act, Yuma and Ryoga especially. My overall review of the episode: 2/10, and it only got anything because of the theme songs. Hopefully it gets better next episode, because I really think this is a shoddy attempt at trying to make Yu-Gi-Oh more for little kids again, which it never was(except in America). Yuma's voice is too deep for such a grubby little child. Ugh, every other protagonist was amazing: Yugi/Yami, Judai, Yusei... and then Yuma comes along with his boringness and ruins everything. I guess that's it for now... YuJaYu out!!!

YGO 3D Movie gets US release date

Yo, it's YuJaYu! It looks like 4Kids finally has a release date for the DVD of Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time. Click the post title to take you to the link so you can see for yourself. SO AWESOME!!! It's being released on July 19th, just a week after my birthday! It looks like A&E Home Video is releasing the movie on DVD(and hopefully, Blu-Ray!). It's weird, because A&E has never released any animation on DVD(or aired any on the A&E Network). Oh well, at least we're getting the movie in America! MangaUK has licensed the movie for DVD and Blu-Ray to come out in the United Kingdom on May 30th, and in Japan it comes out on June 15th. I am so pumped for this! I hope it comes with the Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon card that was given out at theaters, because I didn't get one when I went to see it, boo hoo. It looks like the Japanese and UK versions will have the card though, so hopefully the US will too. That's it for this post! YuJaYu out!!!

More of 5D's to come!

Guess what? 5D's is not done yet! Katsumi Ono, the series director for 5D's, stated on his Twitter that on the final DVD of YGO 5D's in Japan there will be some extra scenes that weren't in the final episode! That means it might be an alternate ending, or it could show some more of Team 5D's futures, or it may show the rest of the team coming back to the city...the possibilities are ENDLESS!!! I cannot wait for them to release this DVD now! They better get off their butts and start making more DVDs, so they can finish with the older episodes and give me these extras! YuJaYu out!!!

Antinomy(Bruno)'s Death

You know what I just realized? In 5D's, Antinomy(Bruno) died saving Yusei from a giant black hole. But he never came back to life. Which sucks, because they've brought back dead people before, like the Dark Signers and the people they killed. The series always bring back everyone who died, including the original Yu-Gi-Oh and GX. I was hoping he would have been involved in the series finale, at least. Oh well, you can't have everything ya want. But in my case, I never get anything I want. Hmph! YuJaYu out!!!

ZEXAL Premiere

Hey, YuJaYu here! Just here to tell you all that the new series Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL premieres tomorrow in Japan, Monday the 11th. I will have descriptions and my own personal review of the episode by Thursday. If this and the second episode are not to my liking, then I will not post ZEXAL news. Here's hoping that ZEXAL doesn't suck! YuJaYu out!!!
