So here's the most awesome thing I can see about this whole event: It actually seems to want to be part of the larger story. I guess they're going to have events based off the Manga/Anime, and that has potential to be awesome. If this goes well, then I can't wait for Battle City. I would like to note, however, that there aren't going to be many of these events if they don't include the filler from the anime. Noah Kaiba, the Big Five, Dartz and his people, and Zigfried all have the potential to appear, unless they just do like 2 to 4 of these events then go over to GX. While I do like the non-filler parts of GX, I think they ought to finish up the original series first, especially since many of those filler characters are just as memorable, if not moreso, than those who were just in the manga.
The only problem with many Anime-characters is that they use Anime-only cards. It would be awesome of they made Anime-only cards Duel-Links exclusive but I doubt they will. ;-; But yeah, Zig's Valkyries and Leon's Fairy Tales would be so fun to play.
