Rating: 4/5 Stars (Brilliant start, divisive finish)
Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V is the most ambitious and creatively exciting entry in the franchise since the original Duel Monsters . It introduces the game-changing Pendulum Summoning mechanic and weaves a complex multiverse story that brings together characters and summoning types from previous eras. However, its legendary production issues and a controversial final act prevent it from being the undisputed masterpiece it set out to be.
