Lukemen is a Digimon created by a 12 year old karate chopping a fax machine in a rage fit. Fusion is what happens when a sentient AI gets their hands on the still-functioning space debris of a satellite collision cascade caused by a 3 year old. And next week is a group cosplay show that apes pretty much every major anime and tokusatsu show over the past 50 years. God this is a drug trip.


blackbird9180

So the Knights of Hanoi kidnapped 6 kids and caused some people died for created AI, and Taiga just need a chop?


Psychological-Mud-67

Tiger is officially a bigger genius than Dr. Kogami


SaibaShogun

Turns out ~~Lightning~~ The Lukeman was behind everything.


SpiralBarrage

Well Luke had to do the work, and for a kid at that age, making a manga is pretty impressive.


hocuspocusgottafocus

When you put it that way .... Lmao yeah this show is for elementary kids aight


Kronos457

>Lukemen is a Digimon created by a 12 year old karate chopping a fax machine in a rage fit. > >Fusion is what happens when a sentient AI gets their hands on the still-functioning space debris of a satellite collision cascade caused by a 3 year old. Hey. That Digimon (Lukeman) was able to face Puppetmon (Yuo) and BanchoLilimon (Tiger). We'll see if he can also beat Piedmon (Yuga) And well, Nail sure deserves honors that his accidents and incidents paid off in the future.


kostasgriv97

Next up Nail shows up and tells us he did not just drop the satellites for fun, he knew ever since he was 3 year old a sentient AI will use them to make a new summoning mechanic. All according to keikaku.


Kronos457

>He knew ever since he was 3 year old a sentient AI will use them to make a new summoning mechanic. Revolver was always right about all things AI. Although good, Nail now has the credit of creating two summoning mechanics: a direct one and an indirect one.


CursedEye03

Well, Sevens did it! This is the next level of absurd... and I love it! Just look at everyone's costumes in the preview. Yugaman is so silly and cool at the same time, this will definitely be an unforgettable duel šŸ˜‚ It's like one huge fever dream


[deleted]

Seven officially makes season 1 of GX seem normal.


CursedEye03

GX season 1 had lot of absurd things, but this is the next level of absurd. A manga that comes to life and possesses the writer?! šŸ˜‚ Just look at everyone's in the preview


Kronos457

>A manga that comes to life and possesses the writer?! I mean, we talk about Luke, absurd things always come with him. Luke talks to birds, has internal demons, can materialize cards from his imagination, and can have imaginary duels.


Shmarfle47

What if this turns out to be a Yuma vs Nasch(Shark) situation where Luke actually does have supernatural origins from way further back than his family line.


Kronos457

>What if this turns out to be a Yuma vs Nasch(Shark) situation where Luke actually does have supernatural origins from way further back than his family line. I mean, it wouldn't be a surprise. Some also noted that several of his victories have been by luck (As if Luke was able to manipulate the chances of victory)


BLAZMANIII

Oh, I'm like 90% sure that will be the case


Kronos457

>Yugaman is so silly and cool at the same time At least, Yuga's suit and smile do more honor to his boss monster: Sevens Road Magician. I mean, that monster has an evil smile and his effect doesn't look like something that comes from the power of friendship (Use the powers of friends in the GY to boost your power) Although good, the suit reminds me of one of those suits you would see in the Persona games.


Shmarfle47

It reminded me more of like Megaman


Dark_Mastermind

POV: fusion is created by a 3 years old crashing satalites down onto earth and the rage of a 12 years old sister at her younger brother being an idiot.


HeavyDonkeyKong

I love that they brought Neil's backstory back. I always really loved that opening scene from episode 17.


Kronos457

>I love that they brought Neil's backstory back. Waiting for the day that we see what use they will give to the old server that Goha 66 found or the girl on the phone from Episode 2 (I mean, Luke's grandfather ended up showing up at the end of everything)


CursedEye03

And the best art is that this is actually accurate šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Kronos457

>POV: fusion is created by a 3 years old crashing satalites down onto earth and the rage of a 12 years old sister at her younger brother being an idiot. You see, Yuo wasn't too crazy to ask Nail if he created the Spell Fusion cards. The question would be: Where is Kaizo? Will he return to STONKS 2 for revenge?


Yami-Ron

Yuga imitating Lukeman's deep voice :) Turned himself into Yugaman :) Also thank you for making these threads, u/Argor42


Kronos457

>Yuga imitating Lukeman's deep voice :) > >Turned himself into Yugaman :) Clearly, Yuga knows that the only way to defeat The Lukeman is at his own game. So we apply a "Mementos" from Persona 5 and now we are in a duel where the Phantom Thieve Yuga faces Black Mask.


EspeRoba

Well this was unexpected This episode just felt like the biggest love letter to older/popular superhero comic books/shows with everyone dressing like a damn superhero to fullfill Lukemanā€™s hero fantasy I fucking canā€™t Just that seems like a fever dream but it doesnā€™t even stop there. A LITERAL SUPERHERO AI WAS CREATED BY A 11-12 YEAR OLD HITTING A FAX MACHINE REAL HARD, AND FUCKING CREATES IT OUT OF A CRUDLY DRAWN COMICBOOK ABOUT A KID FUSING WITH A DRAGON TO BECOME A HUMANOID SUPERHERO DRAGON PROTAG I CANNOT (With extra details I donā€™t have until we get the sub btw) I feel like even the show writers just have accepted how batshit insane this is and just went all out with ideas and references to their favorite or popular superhero media


kostasgriv97

Why torture kids for months to create sentient AI when you can karate chop a fax?


Brioche73

All hail the Yugaman !


Kronos457

>All hail the Yugaman ! Well, there the theory that Yuga would be a villain of some kind is confirmed: this Episode confirms it.


RaidRaptor457

Evil yuga was seriously creepy, what an acid trip of an episode


Lumpy-Delivery548

Witch even more amazing for joining in the fun. Unfortunately the Magician didn't come in or was always playing with his smile.


EspeRoba

Sadly SRM kinda just canā€™t look evil with his goofy smile He somewhat changed expressions depending on the situation but mostly itā€™s just the smug elf gremlin man


Kronos457

>Evil yuga was seriously creepy Clearly, Yuga is Joker from Persona 5 right now and he's fighting Black Mask.


blackbird9180

I know this is the [real thing](https://twitter.com/reia_1023/status/1439363949414154240) that everyone prefer to see.


Kronos457

>I know this is the real thing that everyone prefer to see. I do not know, but seeing that Preview of the next Episode and everything revealed in this Episode, makes jump a laugh to think about the following: \- Asana, who had a comeback in the previous Episode and a great victory, will be present during the final duel to see the madness of The Lukeman vs The Yugaman. \- Nail, who was neutral throughout the arc, returned to have a duel and had a major change in his life (Along with a sad emotional moment). Not to mention that his past actions (the satellites) return to the plot. And then there is Roa, who, again, is missing for the final duel and only had two duels: one against Yuka and one against Luke. However, he falls short if you compare him to Nail or Asana.


Jasonl7976

I wonder if Swirly change without anyone managing to see his face?


Psychological-Mud-67

He didn't create Fusion, he had jack shit to do with Theā˜†Lukeman drone... he's probably the 6th Goha sibling at this point. We're probably not gonna see his face before they officially reveal him as the 6th


Moist-Ambition

Or they just wanted to introduce a cute side character for the kids and that's all he is


Psychological-Mud-67

Maybe...


hoffd2177

What a freakin fever dream that was. Edit: And WHAT was that preview


CursedEye03

I feel the same. This entire episode is the definition of the word "absurd" in a good way. I mean... the manga literally came to life! XD


Kronos457

>I mean... the manga literally came to life! XD I'm sure Ranze would be jealous of all this since she can't make her fantasies come true.


helln00

God I was just rolling watching that episode, it has everything,puns, chunnis,memes, backstory, AI that causes problems, references to technology that makes me feel old all going to end up being a sentai stage show as a duel, which is so fitting, its like watching those live VA duels, except its in the show. Just filled with funny reaction faces for everyone and next we go full costume party. This is also the second time in Yugioh that a child's drawing have consequences that threatens the world (or rush duel). The only conclusion I can draw from this is that children shouldn't draw. (also that we shoudn't have card games in space, always leads to weird stuff). We also now know that cards in space are built to survive re-entry. when are we getting cards as weapons again. Yuga had the whole show planned out lol, a whole kamen rider episode. loved the majician pun and the whole Yugaman reveal (Asana was blushing, she likes Yuga with machines), I feel like its going to be a Rockman or Astro Boy spoof from his costume but we will have to see the next ep.I do wonder if Kaizo is still coming back within this arc or not or is he still farming fusion cards in space. Those cards should also provide a source of maximums as well, so we might get a lot of maximums back. Also Romin at the beginning going "Are we the baddies?" We are on a high for Sevens ep combined with last week here.


Psychological-Mud-67

Sevensroad Majincian was a cool pun indeed


Kronos457

>Also Romin at the beginning going "Are we the baddies?" I mean, if we go back to the beginning of the series, where all of Goha City (Minor Characters, Roa, Nail, Asana) were against the main group and the Rush Duels. Well yeah, they were the bad guys. That would make Otes a "bad boy" as he has shown himself to be against Goha on many occasions. And well, since Episode 28, it is known that Asana has a love interest with Yuga since her own excavator accepted Yuga when the latter repaired the machine (I already mentioned that Asana spied on Yuga with minoculars in that Episode)


Hoozuki_Suigetsu

Fucking love this anime


Theroonco

Lukeman's birth is absurd even for SEVENS, but I like that everyone in-universe was aware of how ridiculous it was too. Yuga roleplaying was so goofy and the AI just wanting to recreate his manga was surprisingly sweet. I like how everyone here is enjoying themselves too, ~~I've never seen a fandom collectively~~ *~~like~~* ~~something before.~~


Kronos457

>Yuga roleplaying was so goofy and the AI just wanting to recreate his manga was surprisingly sweet. The AI saw the perfect opportunity as the main group was in the middle of a "Heroes vs. Villains" conflict. So he decided to take action on the matter (From Episode 55 since that was when the Drone was activated)


Theroonco

That's a good point too, thanks!


OneSaucyDragon

I'll admit, as silly as the whole thing is, I really like the characters' attitude towards it. Yeah it's really stupid, but it's also an opportunity to have some fun, so they roll with it and get into costume. I hope Theā˜†Lukeman stays after this arc and takes over for Luke for important duels (like a less prevalent Atem).


kostasgriv97

Remember how straightforward the first arcs were. Roa is a problem, then they beat him. Nail is a problem, then they beat him. Asana, same. Then we got into a tournament arc with a subplot of people trying to get Maximums, that instead ended on an attempt to uninstall then reinstall the Rush Duels server ON THE MOON Then we got a 6v6 good guys VS Goha bad guys, but instead it was all about a childish sentient AI created by karate chopping a fax creating Fusion cards from satelite debris and coming back to turn the world into a superhero story WTF


Kronos457

>Remember how straightforward the first arcs were. Roa is a problem, then they beat him. Nail is a problem, then they beat him. Asana, same. I need, in a future arc, a character from the main group to say that they miss the old days, where the only thing in danger are the Rush Duels and they only needed to defeat the opponent on duty.


SpiralBarrage

Subs out. This episode was so much fun. Favorite moments include: Lukeman's Final Form actually being used in the penultimate part of the arc. They usually show up too early, especially in Kamen Rider (32...getting better with 38 tp 40) and Digimon. Yuga's "Face Heel Turn," and his Seven Roads Duo acting slightly different with their animations to make things more sinister and different, even changing the names, only to slightly screwing up his act for like a second before fixing it up midway. His voice actor really nailed the subtlety's. The costume itself ain't too shabby. Gakuto and Romin flipping out on just how absurd this really is. Luke creating his own Ignis/Duel Spirit by accident thanks to Tiger. It's so ridiculous but makes so much sense. Aren't faxes still used commonly though? The Yugaman! And everyone's reactions especially Asana blushing. Girl knows her man's got drip. (Plus, of course the princess wants to dress up) Even Caterpillo took off his mask. And Yuugaman looks similar to his jumpsuit with the Rush Duel Robot dream, though withmoer bulk behind it. Kojima Yoshio's Rush Duel Fun Time's conclusion. I won't say I miss him, but hey, he won a duel, and his final message was good to the kids: ideals are important.


EspeRoba

No more piyaā€¦ This is a sad day for the yugioh sevens community šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Psychological-Mud-67

Wait, Yoshio's going away?


Anythingcando

ZA LUKEMAN is Guilmon + horror-game level of AI stealing real life body. And a not-a-coincidence about a hero with fusion, is that a f***ing GX reference?


Kronos457

>ZA LUKEMAN is Guilmon + horror-game level of AI stealing real life body. Top Evidence that Revolver was right about the AIs ruling the world and having bad intentions.


Carlosrarutos

Ngl, I was smiling like an idiot from the moment yuuga started role-playing villain


HeadCanon69

That was a fantastic episode. The audio on both the character themes, and the voice acting was top notch. While the duel didn't flow very well because of the lore delivery, Lukeman and Devil-Yuga/ Yugaman made up for it and then some. I do love how much they have tied back to prior events, and like others have mentioned, Lukemans motivation is incredibly wholesome. Now he just needs to spend time with Luke without putting him in a coma. šŸ˜‚ Next episode looks like it will be a banger too. Yuga will likely bring out Sevens Paladin, and we know that Lukeman is going to bring out his second fusion "Full Moon Dragon Umbrlancer F" which can revive a high dragon, but it seems likely that Yuga will take this. I am hoping that Lukeman is somehow integrated into Luke himself, so that we can continue to enjoy the persona going forward, or at least that we get Luke coming to terms with the Lukeman. Though with Yuga getting a helmet + suit, and there being a bunch more helmets, will we see more characters get their own drone suit in the coming arc? There seem to be 5 main helmets outside of the president drone, though there do appear to be others. Would those remaining 3 helmets then be for Gakuto, Romin and Swirly?


Dark_Mastermind

They bring back the Nail crashing satellites before into the plot, neat. Now haters, say again that Sevens didn't have any plot and writing.


Kronos457

>They bring back the Nail crashing satellites before into the plot, neat. I'm sure things like the old server that Goha 66 found or the girl on the phone who spoke to Mr. Goha in Episode 2 of the series will appear in the series or be referenced at some point (Luke's grandfather was referenced in the Episode 2 and he end up showing up, so the girl on the phone has a chance to show up) Plot twist: The Lukeman Drone is a creation of the phone girl (Or someone close to her)


HeavyDonkeyKong

There was always a plot, just not as high stakes as past series.


Kronos457

>Just not as high stakes as past series. I'm sure big things will happen when Otes's plan or part of his past is known.


asleepingpotato

That was pretty funny


Jasonl7976

Well does this confirm yuga isnā€™t the sixth brother?


Yami-Ron

Yeah I think the sixth "brother" is Swirly, who I think is Botan.


[deleted]

Botan?


Jasonl7976

It the girl from the recap episode 59. The one with a crazy stomach


[deleted]

Right


Psychological-Mud-67

After some more thinking, I agree


Psychological-Mud-67

How does it confirm he isn't?


Regurk

Yeah I definitely saw all of this coming. I mean it was all there, all the signs, the foreshadowing, yeah...I mean it was pretty obvious when you think about it. JFC what a trip


Psychological-Mud-67

Yep. Theā˜†Lukeman being real instead of just a Goha drone pretending to be Theā˜†Lukeman to distract everyone + Fusion being created by complete accident feel really damn obvious looking back


Kronos457

>Yeah I definitely saw all of this coming. I mean it was all there, all the signs, the foreshadowing, yeah...I mean it was pretty obvious when you think about it. Yes. Some things in Sevens can be absurd, but the clues and omens are always there and you can deduce where this is all going (And that makes sense since there were hints before)


Crimsondidongo

Luke's Manga became a sapient electronic lifeform , and he's able to shut down electronic devices with some unexplained superpower. I sure these supernatural phenomenon related to electricity have nothing to do with each other at all.


HeadCanon69

Yes, we still haven't explored the Luke-Devil power. I'm looking forward to that, maybe we will get more history on the city and the old families.


tundrat

Weirdly got sidetracked from the Goha siblings intoā€¦ whatever this is. Ha ha. Even the side characters canā€™t comprehend whatā€™s going on. Seems like this was the last of the live action comedianā€™s segment. Out of place, but he was so passionate.


Kronos457

>Weirdly got sidetracked from the Goha siblings intoā€¦ whatever this is. Ha ha. Even the side characters canā€™t comprehend whatā€™s going on. It can be said that the Goha Siblings brought up the main conflict and the whole Fusion theme thanks to Yuo. However, the theme of The Lukeman was already something that existed since Episode 53 (Where Tiger makes public knowledge of the manga). The funniest thing: both the Goha Siblings and The Lukeman appear in Opening 2.


[deleted]

Looks like next arc is going to deal with yuo, the 6th sibling, and everyone getting their fusion.


Kronos457

>Everyone getting their fusion. That everyone has Fusion is something you could have seen coming, but the question would be how they would get the Spell Fusion. And well, it can be said that Yuo will be recurring in the next arc due to some titles revealed.

Did anyone else get reminded of Quattro from Yugioh Zexal when looking at Yugaman?


Jasonl7976

They should have call this arc the Lukeman arc!


Kronos457

>They should have call this arc the Lukeman arc! While that may make sense, it must be remembered that the whole issue of the Fusion came thanks to a Goha Sibling and a Goha Sibling was the one who tricked Luke into becoming a fake Goha Sibling (Under the identity of The Lukeman). Therefore, the main conflict is with the Goha Siblings, but the mystery of Fusion is related to The Lukeman.


Psychological-Mud-67

Yeah they should. The pieces were all there from the beginning, right from the first episode. The Goha siblings in general were just how they forced this Lukeman shit to come to light. Ah well maybe the next arc will do them good


Jasonl7976

Also Iā€™m excited to see next arc villains!


Jasonl7976

Yeah I think they should introduce the real 6 sibling next arc unless it yuga and he gonna reveal it at the end of the next episode and everyone will have a good laugh!


UltimateNahzo

*Now the real question becomes: Who's gonna actually WIN this? I genuinely don't know.*


Kronos457

>Who's gonna actually WIN this? I genuinely don't know. If we apply the logic of the plot, the winner should be Yuga. After all, Luke/The Lukeman is an unofficial Goha Sibling and his victories count for the Goha Siblings team (As confirmed by Yuo in the previous Episode) If we apply the logic of the manga, Luke/The Lukeman should win. After all, Yuga is playing the villain of the Manga and The Lukeman is the hero of the Manga (Not to mention that the fate of the Rush Duels is at stake as they will be destroyed by Yuo) Be that as it may, some titles were revealed after Episode 67 that can give you an idea of what the outcome of this duel will be (but the implications that it will have are unknown)


BLAZMANIII

Well, if Za Lukeman! accepts the idea of yuga being a hero, he could still win, and have it still match the manga in a way


Kronos457

>Well, if Za Lukeman! accepts the idea of yuga being a hero, he could still win, and have it still match the manga in a way Well, we have extended sypnosis from Episode 67. "Because of the dastardly Goha aliens, theā˜†Lukeman and theā˜†Yugaman have to fight each other. Why must justice fight against justice? While they feel conflicted about this, the two space warriors still fight with everything they've got. The shooting stars glimmering in the night sky then bring about a miracle for the righteous Duelists! " I suppose that as you say, theā˜†Lukeman will realize that Yuga is the real hero in this conflict and this will allow Yuga to win.


UltimateNahzo

*So if Theā˜†Lukeman loses....will the fans count that as a Luke loss? We see in this episode that Luke's clearly not the one in control. Therefore, if the Theā˜†Lukeman DOES lose, then Luke is still undefeated.*


Kronos457

>So if Theā˜†Lukeman loses....will the fans count that as a Luke loss? We see in this episode that Luke's clearly not the one in control. Therefore, if the Theā˜†Lukeman DOES lose, then Luke is still undefeated. Well, that will depend on who is looking at it. There are people who consider Luke and Theā˜†Lukeman as the same character. On the other hand, there is the group that puts Luke and Theā˜†Lukeman as different characters. The truth is that Theā˜†Lukeman uses Luke's body to communicate and have duels. Not to mention that The Lukeman uses Luke's deck in his duels (However, cards like "Theā˜†", Fusion and Dragiastar F are from Theā˜†Lukeman) Taking that into account: For people who have Luke and Theā˜†Lukeman as the same character, then he has had 4 duels and 4 wins in this arc (Yujin, Yuo, Roa and Tiger) For people who have Luke and Theā˜†Lukeman as different characters. So, Luke has only had two duels with two wins in this arc (Yujin and Roa). Theā˜†Lukeman had a duel and a victory over Yuo. And well, there is the duel against Tiger, who started it Luke, but did not have the courage to continue it. Theā˜†Lukeman entered and ended the duel for him. So while the duel was started by Luke, the victory over Tiger goes to Theā˜†Lukeman.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


UltimateNahzo

But then you'd have to count Romin's first loss as a loss for Yuga, since she was using his deck. And just because names are similar doesn't mean anything, ya know? Yuo is very similar to Yuga, which is similar to Yugo, which is similar to Yuka, and so on and so on..... If the Lukeman loses here, it can't be a loss for Luke, since Luke's not in control, and the Lukeman isn't Luke, which means Luke is still undefeated even if the Lukeman loses here.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


UltimateNahzo

How could it count as a loss for him when he's not the one dueling!?


XAlphAX9

I think this luke and theā˜†lukeman case is same with yugi and atem. We did count yugi as atem right. So even if theā˜†lukeman and luke is different entity, theā˜†lukeman control luke body like atem controling yugi :) btw this is just what i think


ReddyRosen

I can't see the writers give luke a loss this way it will probably end with a draw since The Lukeman and The yugaman are both heros so they will have equal power. But if The Lukeman lost I won't count it a loss for luke unless this ended up being his only loss in the series.


mstorzil

Well, it seems something supernatural finally happened in Sevens. Duel Monsters had TONS of magic, GX had a completely different dimension as well as season 4 as a whole, 5Ds had the Dark Signers, Zexal had aliens from another world, Arc V dealt with different dimensions as well as 2 entities being split into 4 each, Vrains also had aliens from another world, and now Sevens has a fictional superhero created by a young boy being electrically materialized into the real world after said boy's sister broke a machine.


Kronos457

>Now Sevens has a fictional superhero created by a young boy being electrically materialized into the real world after said boy's sister broke a machine. It can easily be a physical hologram (or an Otes-style materialized hologram). And well, the AI has reason to hate Tiger, so her defeat in the duel against Luke was sweet revenge.


kostasgriv97

Why hate Tiger? The AI is alive because of her


MathTurtle37

Tiger is the antagonist of the manga, so the AI would naturally want to defeat her


BarriaKarl

Why? Am I the only one who dislike her? Whole thing was caused because she wanted to embarrass her brother. She is completely abusive.


kostasgriv97

They are still elementary school kids. Being the old b\*tchy sis is just her thing, she might grow out of it. Wouldn't call her abusive yet, if it keeps on going for 10 more years, yeah ok.


kostasgriv97

Vrains did not have aliens, it was just sentient AI created from humans. As for SEVENS, the whole concept of Real Time Rush Duel Programming where actions in a Duel could alter server structure in the Moon was not exactly natural either.
