Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V Fandub: Pendulum Summoning is Born!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V Fandub: Pendulum Summoning is Born!

Project Overview

Introductions

Hello!  My name is FullAsianJay, and my co-director is KonoDeanoDa, but you can call us Jay and Dean respectively.  We're two friends, who decided to try our hands at fandubbing scenes from different anime that we've enjoyed over the years, didn't receive a dub (yet), or wasn't all that fulfilling in English, given the type of scene that it was (These types of scenes we refer to are typically one's that had dialogue heavily altered, due to censorship).  We look forward to hearing the talent from all the wonderful people, who audition!  Remember, everyone, to have fun with these auditions!  You can do it!  

Brief Series (Also Scene) Summary

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V! is the seventh spin-off to the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series.  The story revolves around Yuya Sakaki, a young Entertainment Duelist, who wants to follow in the footsteps of his dad, who disappeared before his big match, causing a lot of Miami City's population to bully Yuya for it.  To escape this harsh reality, Yuya has put on a facade of smiling through the pain.  Nico Smiley approaches Yuya one day for an exhibition match against Strong Ishijima, Miami City's best Pro Duelist.  To make up for his father's disappearance, Yuya decides to go all out and make this duel a great show for the audience; however, things don't go his way, which causes Yuya to become depressed and fall into despair in the middle of the match.  In response for his desire to win, Yuya's pendulum shines a bright light, granting him access to Pendulum Summoning, a never-before-seen and crazy Summoning Method!  

Rules and Clarifications

  • Be sure to have decent microphone quality!

    • A helpful tip would be to take your microphone and computer to a secluded area, where it is compact with little to no background echo.  This is to ensure audio effects that will be edited in post won’t sound out of field compared to the rest of the cast.

  • While the “Voice Description” tab may describe the general idea of what the character’s voice should sound like, that is only there to help the actor gain an understanding of the possible voice for that character.  If you have another portrayal for that character’s voice in mind, then by all means, send it in!  We may even like it better than what we originally wanted!

  • In regards to that last bullet, (This is probably obvious to some, and I apologize for redundancy) you can audition for as many roles as you want!

  • If you don’t get a part, don’t feel bad!  We will take into consideration everybody that auditions!  A person, who doesn’t make the cut, might just be contacted to audition for a character specifically or even asked to voice that character automatically (if they would like to)!  

  • You DO NOT need to possess prior knowledge of any of the shows that these fandubs originate from!

Role Assignment

  • Some characters, within this fandub, will appear in scenes from the series in the future.  So once a role has been assigned to somebody, then they’re casted as that character for ALL the fandubs the character appears in, unless the actor is unavailable or says otherwise.  

Line Recording Process

  • Discord is necessary for the line reading process to flow smoothly.
    • We would prefer if the person reading the lines would have their Discord on the same computer that their mic setup resides.

    • This is so the actor can perform the lines live with Dean and I in the call, to get instant feedback and better direction.

    • For this, we will try to schedule a desired date and time for Dean and I to get into a call with the actor that works with everybody’s schedule! 

  • If the actor doesn’t feel comfortable in a live call, then that is perfectly okay!  They can just send in their lines through files and recordings!  We just wanted to do the live call to provide less hassle for the actor, just in case we’d like the actor to reread their lines again or say the line in a specific way.

  • A specific script will also be sent to the actor for their assigned character, with a more organized script, side comments for lines, etc.
    • Along with this, edited footage of whenever the actor’s character speaks will be provided.  That way it’ll be a bit easier to match the lip flaps.

Latest Updates

  • Finalized Roles

    Hey, everyone! Dean and I want to thank you all for taking the time to audition for our fandub! We had a great time listening to all of the wonderful talent from you guys! After listening, we have decided on our cast! Thanks again, everyone! If you didn't get picked, don't let it get you down! This was one of the harder fandubs to cast, because of everyone, who auditioned, so we put you guys on our list of actors we would like to see audition in the future or just to play a role!
  • Deadline Push

    Hey, everyone! First off, Dean and I would love to thank everyone for auditioning for not only this project but our other two projects as well! There was a lot of extraordinary talent that we've heard so far! Now, a little mess up on our part (miscalculations with the dates), but we felt that the deadline for this project (and the other one too) was a bit too soon, considering the Zexal auditions just ended. So, we've decided to push back the deadline for this project's auditions (And possibly the next one) by another week! Hopefully this will let anyone, who wanted to audition but didn't have the chance, shoot us a line read! Break a leg on your auditions, everyone, and have fun!

Strong Ishijima
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Nesquikk

Character Description:  Strong Ishijima is an overconfident, barbaric man, who possesses the title as Duel Champion of Miami City.  Because of this winning streak and nobody being able to defeat him, Strong develops an overconfident personality, even being the one to start the ridiculing of Yusho Sakaki, who would’ve been his final challenge for the title, had Yusho not mysteriously disappeared before the match.  While Strong was aware of Yusho’s dueling methods, he was unprepared for Yuya’s unpredictability and silliness, thus causing a bit of shock to the barbarian.  

Voice Description: Strong is a muscular man, well into his late twenties or early thirties.  His voice will definitely be a deep one and have a sense of overconfidence. 

  • Strong has managed to pull off a comeback against Yuya during their duel.  While he was impressed by Yuya's ability to hold his own, his overconfidence is still evident.

    "You put up quite a fight, but this is the end for you now, Sakaki.  I draw!"

    Yuya tries to escape and grab an Action Card.

    "No way! You’re not gonna escape!  *Grunts angrily*  Go!  Battleguard King attack Odd-Eyes Dragon!"

  • After ending his Battle Phase, Strong begins his next move to end Yuya.

    "Next, I’ll be activating the quick-play spell card, Battleguard Magic!  *Grunts with effort as he puts the card in the duel disk*  This card is great, because I can recover life points equal to half of your Odd-Eyes Dragon’s attack points.  *Laughs triumphantly/evilly.* "

  • Overconfidently, Strong boasts about how he could've ended Yuya this turn, but luck was on Yuya's side long enough for him to last a little longer.

    "Battleguard King can only attack twice, so consider yourself lucky, kid!  You get to live a little longer!  I’ll be setting one card face down...and ending my turn there!  It’s your move!  Hurry up, and draw your last card!  *Mockingly*  Or are you gonna surrender, turn your tail, and run away, just like your father?"

Yusho Sakaki

Role assigned to: LippyLapras

Character Description:  Yusho is a man in his thirties, who duels, in order to put on a great show for the audience and fill everybody’s hearts with smiles.  While this seems like a cheesy goal, this in turn inspires Yuya to pursue Entertainment Dueling and manages to inflict a positive impact on not just Yuya but anybody that Yusho met, during the events of the Dimensional War.  His dueling methods, while they do involve the most flashy and flamboyant techniques, shouldn’t be underestimated.  He was the reigning Duel Champion after all, before the match with Strong came along.  Yusho is an extremely positive man, who has the wisdom to back up his philosophy.  He is Yuya’s driving force in wanting to pursue his dreams and to never give up, when things get tough. 

Voice Description: Yusho is a performer but also a calm man, who has to project his voice for the crowd, while also having a sincerity and peaceful tone in his voice.  After all, he is an inspiration to many people.

  • Yusho begins to give a pep talk to Yuya, who is at a young age and was crying over the loss of his pendulum, which they just managed to find.  

    "Remember, Yuya, when you feel like crying, laugh.  The more you push, the more it’ll come back.  It’s impossible to do anything, if you’re frozen in fear.  Always have courage and step forward, if you want to win!"

  • After Dennis loses his duel with Kaito, he begins to think that everyone despises him.  Yusho assures him that this isn't the case and that everyone loves him just as much.

    "Good grief.  You didn't lose at all.  They’re applauding both Kaito and you, Dennis.  You two were able to make so many people smile.  That was an excellent performance!  Come with me.  There are a lot more people, who need your talents to uplift their spirits!"

  • Yusho is talking to Dennis about his current duel.  The latter doesn't address his audience, which causes Yusho to give the boy a bit of a refresher in Entertainment Dueling.

    "What are you doing?  It would be very rude if you don’t respond, when your spectators applaud you.  This is the reason why you do this, Dennis.  You perform for the crowd with everything you got, giving them a spectacular show and bringing smiles to them all!  In the end, that's what makes everything worth it."

Role assigned to: Maisie Irene

Character Description:  A young girl, who also strives to do her best to achieve her goal of becoming a professional Entertainment Duelist.  She is Yuya’s best friend and has stuck by his side through thick and thin, even when all the kids at school were bullying him, because of his dad’s disappearance, she defended him and helped him through his rough childhood.  Her character is kind, caring, determined, and tough, when it comes down to it.  While she appears annoyed at Yuya’s antics, she really cares for him deep down and sees him as an inspiration/rival to get better at dueling. 

Voice Description:  Yuzu is a fourteen-year-old girl, who has a normalish/highish pitch to her voice.  This voice will show that she’s still innocent, but also a person that shouldn’t be messed with. 

  • After Yuya messes around during the dueling session, Yuzu gets upset at his antics.

    "Come on, Yuya!  Take this seriously!  You're not going to make it out there with the professionals, if you keep this act up!  What would your dad say?!

  • During her duel in the Synchro Dimension, Yuzu talks about her reasoning to Chojiro for dueling the way she did.  Despite the current situation with the Dimensional War, she duels in the same way Yuya would, which revolves around entertaining the crowd.

    "There's something I want to tell someone... My feelings... That person is probably depressed and blaming themselves right now.  By doing my best, I can remind them that they're not alone.  *Changes her tone to energetic and addresses the audience.*  We're just getting started!  The fun has just begun, everyone!"

  • After Yuya goes berserk, Yuzu attempts to calm him down and bring him back to his senses.

    "You’ve left your home to save me!  No matter how many times we got separated from each other, you kept chasing after me!  Because of that, I was able to smile!  Please respond to them, Yuya!  Respond to your friends’ feelings!  And then, we’ll go back home together!

Gongenzaka Noboru

Role assigned to: fatboiipanda

Character Description:  Gongenzaka is a fourteen-year-old boy, and he is also one of Yuya’s best friends.  He has supported Yuya and defended him from his bullies.  Overall he is a loyal companion and will not hesitate to stand up for his friends or what’s right.  This is derived from his samurai heritage, which has trained him in an honorable way for how he behaves and his dueling style.  Gongenzaka is strict most of the time but has a close attachment to his friends and is willing to sacrifice anything for them.  His Steadfast Dueling style has him standing firm against his opponents and not moving at all during the duel.  This can be interpreted as him being a shield for his friends or his strong determination, both acting as a impenetrable wall.  

Voice Description:  Gongenzaka, although he is fourteen, will have a deep voice, with a sense of Japanese in it, if possible.  He is supposed to be an overwhelmingly strong force but still young. 

  • Yuya messes around during the training session with Gongenzaka.

    "Yuya!  Have you no shame?!  Idiotic dueling like that will be your downfall in the future!  Are you trying to make a fool out of your father?!"

  • Gongenzaka is in the middle of a duel with an opponent, who ridicules and asks what's the point of NOT moving around during an Action Duel.

    "This form of dueling was passed down between my family for years!  It represents our resolve, our undying spirit to keep on fighting against the waves that aim to take us down!  I will not let you make a mockery of the great name, Noboru!" 

  • Gongenzaka manages to pull off a Synchro Summon, something that nobody managed to see coming.  He continues with his turn with a fighting spirit. 

    "I tune my Level Eight Superheavy Samurai Big Benkei with my Level Two Superheavy Samurai Trumpeter!  Almighty deity, hear the call of war!  Follow the trail of a thousand blades and arrive in a spiraling sandstorm!  I Synchro Summon!  Raise your sword to battle!  Level Ten!  Superheavy Samurai Susanowo!"
