I’m avoiding doing laundry by restarting GX dub and of course watching anything Yu-Gi-Oh related always gets me thinking about your wonderful work! I know you aren’t even close to finished with Yugi and her story but I have some random questions I want to ask. Please don’t feel like you have to answer! I’m just very aware of the fact that if I don’t ask them I’m going to be thinking about them for the next week. (I’m using the dub names because I don’t want to fight autocorrect today.)
1. If Jaden is adopted by Yugi will she know about shadow games? Will she know about the previous adventures her parents had? Or will she be sheltered from those things until she fights spirit Jinzo?
2. Would Jaden be able to use her powers or understanding of shadow games to help against any of the shadow riders (season 1 villains) because I’ve realized that in GX the first two opponents try to get the games to spin in their favor by either using hostages to distract their opponents or by knowing what their decks will look like. (Granted Camula knowing what is in everyone’s deck isn’t very different from Pegasus using his eye but I digress).
3. How would Jaden react to someone stealing Yugi’s deck and pretending to be her while dueling? (I might have asked this already but the scenario is very funny to me)
4. Would we see more involvement from adults when the spirit keys are introduced? I can’t see Jaden not telling her parents about is going on or them not being contacted when she passes out after the first duel with Nightshroud.
5. I’m pretty sure that the first season will be similar to what we saw in Ennead where everyone thinks Jaden is a boy until the second season and Jaden being revealed as Yugi’s daughter probably won’t be revealed until after the season finale duel with Kaiser but would Crowler then be spending all of season 2 trying to boost Jaden to blue and Jaden just stubbornly refusing to leave?
Thank you for humoring me. I should probably start laundry now. ðŸ«
Go do your laundry!!!! Until that’s done, you get no answers.
Now that’s done, here’s the answers to your questions…
Jurai (fem!Judai) will be aware of her powers in Ennead GX because of events mentions in Battle of the Gods, and because of other events that will lead into Ennead GX. Yugi will be aware of them too, and that is why she decided to adopt Jurai when her parents were thinking about the ‘brain surgery’ option. Jurai will also have been bestowed an idea of how dangerous magic could be and the responsibility behind being able to wield it that one must remember. It’s not a toy, and she will know this. Yugi won’t be super strict with her, but guiding instead, to help Jurai learn safely.
Jurai will be able to use her powers to assist and to help her friends, but there’s only so much a Mage can do against a Shadow Item without a focus of their own. However her training will assist her in being able to guide her friends but on the other hand, the stories told about how her mother’s friendships were and how they stood together, will make her both a little more and a little less lenient on certain behaviours of her friends. (Here’s looking at you Chazz/Manjome)
Jurai would not be overly worried about someone stealing a copy of her mother’s Battle City deck because she knows her mother carries a different deck these days, but she wouldn’t be happy about it and honestly I could see her correcting anything the imposter got wrong if she was outted as Yugi’s daughter by this point, since she attends Duel Academia under her birth name both to avoid claims of favouritism and to avoid people swamping her to get to meet her mother, and if not secretly being like ‘this is a really bad copy of mum’.
Yugi and co WILL be informed when Jurai ends up in the infirmary after that duel and Yugi and one of Jurai’s aunts will be coming to the island to teach the students about Shadow Games and how to survive them, as well as help protect the keys and absolutely blast Shepherd for putting such a dangerous task on children.
I’m not going to hide Jurai’s gender, but I am hiding the fact she’s Yugi’s daughter for a while, until the appropriate time to reveal it. Also since Jurai is female and would be in the female dorm, plus the fact that in the Ennead Universe there will be more girls attending because of the Queen of Games, the female dorms will be ranked, so when Jurai gets promoted, she would just be moved floors, rather than to an entirely new building, so she wouldn’t have to leave her friends because they could all meet in the common areas and crash out there if they want.
Hope these answers are satifying, there’s more Ennead GX information here if you would like more.
