The dub actually delivered the ruling better. The effect fizzles and/or rather cannot activate at all since there's no valid target for it. That's not the same as negating.
"Negate" is sometimes used as an umbrella term to mean "doesn't work" or "doesn't apply", like if a monster's destruction in battle is "negated", or effect damage is "negated" when the damage is actually reduced to 0.
The fact that the crowd only went into shock when yuya flipped out and won as opposed to him getting straight up abused throughout the whole duel was annoying af.
@@okita_souji_alter WDYM AN ACCIDENT HAPPEN THEN THE AUDIENCE FORCE HIM TO KEEP HURTING AND OFF PEOPLE WHICH LEAD TO BECOME INSANE THEN TO FUSE HIMSELF WITH HIS DRAGONS AND KILL EVERYONE
@@partyboy1340 can you not type in all caps. No seriously is grating. Anyone no one forced him to keep hurting ppl he took "the audience wanting more entertainment" that way. Hell he could've even retired and lived a peaceful life afterwards but he himself wasnt even satisfied.
Considering the effect couldn't activate in the first play because the requirements were never met he should have just said "You're effect can't activate".
Thing was, he wasn’t the only person in Arc-V to make that mistake. In fact, that other guy went further. “If xyz monsters don’t have levels and have ranks instead, shouldn’t they have 0 level?” (Or something to that effect) No one answered him, he’s probably dead now or something.
So the dub couldn't even be bothered to include the reasoning for his mistake being thinking that having no level was the same as being Level 0. I'm glad I never bothered to watch the dub of this show.
This man really spends half the anime tryna turn everyone he meets into a new pack to smoke. Imagine being a freaking god and you nearly smoke every universe and dimension at the exact same time but you get packed up by a random kid who was seen as the sickly scardy cat of the group
