So, some new spoilers have hinted at (not
confirmed) that the Jack and Crow in Arc V are alternate Versions. Jack
is the Duel King living in the high society while Crow takes care of
orphans.
It gave me the idea that the three dimensions in Arc V might just be
exact copies of the universes of GX, 5D's and Zexal, but with one
exception: The main character never existed, and the main villain (or
villainous plot) did not either. So in example this would mean:
GX: Duel Academy gets built on an island, but Judai Yuki never gets there. Sacred Cards, Light of Destruction, Yubel and Darkness do not exist either.
5D's: Someone else than Dr.Fudo invented Momentum and reserved it for
certain people, leading to the split society. Yusei Fudo does not
exists. The Crimson Dragon and the Nazca Gods do not exist. Rex Goodwin
either does not exists or rules over the city due to other motivations
than in the main canon.
Zexal: The Barians either do not exist or never got into contact with
humans. Numbers do not exist. Yuma either does not exists or plays no
significant role, since he never aquired the Emperor's Key.
Do you think those scenarios are plausible? How would side characters
from those series end up if they never got into contact with their
respective main character?
Especially for 5D's I find the idea quite realistic that even without
Yusei, Jack would have grown tired of living in poverty and would have
found a way to get out of there, while Crow would have remained to take
care of children, as he did in the main canon.
For GX, I suppose most of the cast would simply end up as soldiers of
the Academy. None of the original cast (pre-Season 3 additions) I see as
people who would rebel against authority if no one like Judai was there
to lead them. Ryo, Asuka, Misawa and Manjoume would probably have good
career opportunities due to their dueling skills. Sho and the koala dude
whose name i forgot would never become important without Judai.
In Zexal, everyone from the school would be nothing more than bystanders
(well, its not like they were much more in the main canon......). Ryoga
would remain a bully. When the invasion happened, he might resist, but
he would not have the friends to lead an open fight. He might be part of
the resistance, maybe even one of their leaders, simply for the reason
that he does not likes being defeated. Same for Kaito, he would not have
the bonds with others to openly fight the Academy, so in order to
protect Haruto he would just bail from the city and maybe return later
to fight in guerilla. The Arclight Family would be the group that would
probably be most resemble their appearance in Zexal (Tron would either
never have fallen into the portal, or never have returned from there).
Onions on this topic?
