YU-GI-OH! GX 'SEASON 2' IN UNDER 45 MINUTES! 

That's actually really sweet. Season 2 is such a crazy season to me because so much happens, the society of light feels so lighthearted and there's so many fun filler episodes but we also get awesome duelists like Aster, Hell Kasier and Hassleberry. Nice to see someone who appreciates Season 2.

Jaden and his Heroes are my favorite archetype, and apparently alot of other people's too before meta Yu-Gi-Oh

Well, your first mistake was going by the dub. They made up a ton of fake dialogue for the characters, and Edo (Aster) Phoenix was no exception. In the original version, there is no nonsense claims of Jaden "copying" his deck. Aster is simply expressing interest in him as a duelist and challenging him to a duel. A lot of his rude lines or jokes about things were dub-fabricated. The duel against Zane isn't as bad either, and it's really more about Zane on the first step to discovering that he's been in a bubble as the school's best duelist and that his old strategies aren't necessarily always going to work outside in the larger world of dueling. Both Aster and Zane are more chill about it in the Japanese version, and there's never any resentment from Zane about losing to him or a desire to avenge his loss. He never even mentions Aster as someone he considers a dueling rival or that makes him feel "alive" like he claimed of Jaden and Jesse. As for the "spoiled rich kid", I don't see how Aster really fits that. While it's unclear to what extent his father's resources may have accounted for in a will or anything for Aster after he died, it's pretty much given that Aster's primary source of income comes from his Pro League salary from how much he wins duels, so he works for his money. And he was also shown to donate a lot of his winnings to poor orphaned children in season four. Personally, I like him because he changed from being dependent on always hoping "destiny" would give him answers and that he was a "chosen one" to accepting that he couldn't do everything by himself and found happiness in trying to help people for the sake of it more like when he says in season three when he helps them escape from Adrian, "Don't think of me as a sacrifice, but just as trying to help out instead". And I thought it was more realistic how Jaden didn't just immediately win him over after one duel or conversation with him wanting to move into his room like everyone else almost. Even after Jaden defeated him, he still took until the tag duel to really trust him and see how him not always being serious could be a strength and not a hindrance. As for the destiny heroes, I think they're cool, but some could definitely use retrains along with Vision Hero Witchraider.

@@raina1848 will definitely have to give the sub a watch, your view point makes him sound like a like-able character

@PURPLE_G0J0 Yeah, the sub is a lot different. Sometimes the dub just adds dialogue for the sake of them being mean and nothing more. The worst offenders of the dub that got "remade" to be jerks and/or be pointlessly shallow or comedic imo are Aster, Alexis, and Zane.
