Lol I like how this site said Bonz was unlockable even though duel links only said he was coming, not that he was unlockable

I meant personality wise.

They are the same since there is no alternate entity inhabiting Zane. However dark Zane does duel more agressively and less like Zane at beginning of gx also dark Zane uses darkcyber and Zane only uses cyber dragons

<< Anonymous(Razaelriezen )

Anonyboy Reply

Yeah, but you can't really tell when Zane goes back from the darkness, if he ever does. For instance, in Season 3, he definitely uses Cyber Dragons, specifically against Yubel, but he is still dressed in black.

Season3 he is dark
Season 4 he is coming back from the dark place and starting to be himself again
Season 5 he’s come to terms and uses Cyber and dark cybers

I am 99% sure it is not going to be this guy and that it will be ARKANA. The reason is that he HAD BEEN playble for limitied time in a specific place.So the data in the game is allready INN. And they never even said anything about Bonz... I mean he is just a character who played 1 or 2 duels in the whole seires ( Like arkana did ) But arkana has game data for allready existed character IN GAME. Its my personal opinion but i think it is going to be arkana.

The only reason for Yami Jonouchi, I think it's really mind-controlled Joey, if you search all the pictures about the characters datamined in duellinks.gamea.co, you'll see this picture as Yami Joey.

Most likely due to their cutscene behaviour. They're treated as separate entities in cutscenes, and as one entity in duels and in the player select screens.

arkana or camula

But if normal Marik gets released too, then this would mean that he would be dueling himself if he went up against Yami Jounouchi in a duel. That ought to be, well...interesting. Even more so than the same character match-ups. XD

why konami add BONZ into the game?

Did you even watch the anime? Bakura uses fiends. Bonz isn't that bad a character either... he just got freakin murdered by Bakura before he got a shot to do anything significant.

I think it was Nightmare Troubadour for Nintendo DS. I haven't played it in a while, though. So I could be mistaken.

I think one of the rewards is Call of the Haunted.

Yeah but Konami did an exellent job preventing to much powercreep at once. To this day we still don't have Man-Eater Bug.

Konami so cleverrr made Bonz event such that Dark Paladin is the best farm strategy but new players don't have it, so they will burn gems on Crimson Kingdom pack hoping to get one! poor souls!

It's summed up pretty well by YGOTAS... Tristan only dueled once, and died in the middle of it

Loving his skill "straight to the grave". Gives his zombie monsters an added boost. LV 8 so far playing as him since unlocking him yesterday.

Why it would be the worst?

We have the Rex one that only worth for Dinos, this one we can use Dino, Zombie and Rock. And we have a lot of good Zombie monsters.

Only 2 Kings of the Skull Servants (one of them at Lv 40)? Why?

Because it is broken in the current game

How? There's no easy way to send at least 3 Skull Servants/Kings to the graveyard, and they can't be special summoned by their own effect when destroyed by card effects. Far from broken...

Ihizu has a skill that turns all monsters in grave to sjull servant so yeah total broke

What I'm trying to say is that Bonz is a unique character. Regular Marik... isn't. He's the same as Yami Marik, and there's no real discernible difference.

<< Anonymous(Anonyboy)

Valencia Reply

I can sort of understand why you think that the two Mariks are not that different, since Yami Marik is probably his personality disorder, so they are linked. But the Yugis and Bakuras are completely different people. Marik did reform eventually, though. Yami Marik never would have done that, despite what a lot of fanfiction writers seem to like to believe.

<< Anonymous(Anonyboy)

I get what you are saying. We should have the original duelists who recurred a bit like Bonz did and/or had important themes. Wouldn't be surprised if Espa is next. But Marik is hot, and I can't help wanting him!

<< Anonymous(Anonyboy)

I made a mistake earlier. I had thought that you had said there WASN'T a dividing line between the Yugis and Bakuras. My mistake. XD

I don't know about others but I wasn't looking forward to this because Bonz is lame and his rewards are too. However, he has been very generous with dropping skills for other characters.

That's great. Only good skill I have got that I wanted was 3SD. Otherwise I got heavy starter, draw sense water, restart and draw sense high level for Kaiba. Draw sense light, lp boost both types, draw sense earth and draw sense spell trap for odion. Draw sense wind, hhg and lp boost for Mai. I wasn't farming but just levelling up a few characters. Now trying Yami to see if I can get destiny draw.

Great! I also got Restart for Kaiba during the Yami Marik event. I'm just glad that they give gems for the skills you already have if you get them again. I've lost count of how many times Aster got the life point boost B skill. XD

You can get a copy of Zombie Word and a support for it for leveling up Bonz xD

<< Anonymous(DNastyKuriboh)

DNastyKuriboh Reply

One copy of Zombie world in your deck changes nothing.

You would have to use Planet pathfinder or something.

Even starting with the card would have been nice, but only throwing 1 copy into our decks change NOTHING.

Sucks that "Dawn of the Brains" is SCP only.
We SERIOUSLY needed it to keep the meta fresh.

Totally agree, a skill with Zombie world will render CA deck useless
