>"The Animated Series Hits Its Climax!". Are you excited for Soulburner Vs Revolver and Playmaker Vs Ai? Do you think Pandor will amount to anything?
Episode 116: 完全燃焼 – Kanzen Nenshō (Complete Combustion) As their battle rages on, Revolver is disappointed to see that Soulburner still has doubts in his heart. Enraged by this, Soulburner decides to cast aside the trauma caused by the Lost Incident, and the sadness he felt after losing Flame. With all his doubts gone, Soulburner summons a mighty conflagration to his right hand and fights against Revolver with everything he’s got.
Episode 117: 交わらない道 – Majiwaranai Michi (Paths That Won’t Intersect) After finding out where Ai is, Yusaku heads to an island located in the outskirts of Den City, all by himself. Ai has already started making copies of himself on the island, using the SOLtiS he acquired from SOL Technologies. Ai reveals his motive for attacking humans, as well as all the thoughts he’s been keeping to himself. And now, with the future of the world on the line, Yusaku and Ai begin their first and final battle.
>Revolver vs Soulburner Only to get it out of the way. I know Soulburner's conflict with Revolver needs resolved, but this feels more like stalling the plot than anything. >Playmaker vs Ai Somewhat, but mostly just to see Ai duel again and more @Ignister action. >Pandor Not a chance.
Robert White
>Soulburner vs Revolver Not excited to see Revolver being an idiot again. I'm all for a Salamangreat Synchro, though.
>Playmaker vs Ai This I'm actually very excited to see. I hope it lasts more than 2 episodes if this really is the Final Boss Duel.
>Pandor Only thing she can amount for is a suprise Final Boss. Otherwise, what was the point of giving her such a name if she doesn't fuck up opening something?
Tournament arcs suck and Ai is the last antagonist.
Brody Taylor
People like to speculate when they have nothing better to do. Also, some nostalfags are infiltrating and this is their newest way to try to ruin our threads.
Thank God, hopefully Yu Gi Oh! 7 has a more interesting plot, characters, & written better
Jacob Lee
This whole climax thing is really putting me on edge. If it's over it's over but, with the climax duel being Yusaku vs Ai in real life, there's a high chance that a whole new season follows after and they finally move everything to the real world and give more relevancy to everyone there.
Agreed, when VRains first got annouced I was interested and I was a big fan of Ai, Yusaku, Aoi, Revolver, & Go then they shafted them all for Mr."Buy Salamangreats PLZ".
>roboppi suddenly turns mega evil revolver was right. FUCK ALL AI!
Jaxson Ramirez
>Tournament arcs suck Some do, some don't. At least they let characters interact with each other, unless they get locked in separate rooms.
Samuel Brown
>worst MC >literally shit duels >no tournaments arc >forced villains >boring villains >a huge load of shit I wasted years on this shit and now I am mad
>Hating on Soulburner I would agree with you if Soulburner was a shit character but he isn't so >Big fan of Aoi and Go Fucking how? Not only are they boring but they contribute nothing to the plot. And what little they do is meaningless.
I would like the next series to take place in the DM-GX-5Ds timeline and if it doesn't at least have it take place in a modern day more realistic setting.
>worst MC Yusaku is ok in my opinion >literally shit duels There have been tons of good duels. Yusaku vs Revolver with the Extra Link Yusaku vs Go with the brain hack Yusaku vs Bohman with Darkfluid Lightning vs Spectre Go vs Revolver Soulburner vs Roboppi Soulburner vs Windy >no tournaments arc With the whole "pick off each character one-by-one" it practically is a tournament arc >forced villains There are literally 3 main villains in this show. Revolver is literally a cyberterrorist who wants to destroy the Ignis by destroying the network Bohman is the culmination of all the Ignis constructed by the evil Ignis, Lightning Ai has literally played a part in killing every single one of his species except Earth. He has every right to be pissed >boring villains Revolver and Ai are fun to watch in my opinion. Bohman only started to get good in the final battle >a huge load of shit I overally thought the series was ok. It wasn't total dogshit. I don't think any series was irredeemable, they all have their ups and downs just like VRAINS.
Gavin Davis
My only hope is that Spectre's VA gets more roles after this shit show
Blake Wilson
Ishige is having his birthday right now. Say Happy Birthday to him
He was unironically one of the best characters of the show, and still got shafted relentlessly
Alexander Parker
I watched the whole thing and never got any enjoyment out of his dumb comedy, considering he was an endless jobber.
John Green
Ah yes it's definitely the fictional characters fault that they weren't used and utilized properly.
God you people would make up the shittiest fucking retarded defense to put the blame on everything else besides the show's director and writers themselves.
It's a fucking anime based on a competitive card game. The competitive spirit of a tournament arc is the liveblood of the entire thing (every other card game show knows this). The fact that you people are actually defending a card game anime having virtually no sense of competition whatsoever is retarded. It's literally just a bogstandard predictable shonen anime that just happens to use YGO as it's vessel for characters to fight.
>Ai has literally played a part in killing every single one of his species except Earth. He has every right to be pissed I don't get this one.
Daniel Fisher
Agreed. No tournaments was the best fucking choice hands down.
Carson Young
>All his species but him gets combined into a big amalgamation - Bohman >Kill Bohman >Killed his species Earth was pretty muched killed by SOL and placed into Go. I'm pretty sure the Earth that shows up in Bohman is just a husk of what he was
Sebastian Williams
Because endless Bowman duels and Soulburner destroying everyone from S1 was such a worthy replacement. You apologists are pathetic.
Angel Brooks
>The absolute state of tournamentfags Just because you enjoy linear duels with predictable matchups doesn't mean everyone else does.
Jonathan Myers
>Representation of Yuya's growth as a person, going away from his idealistic view of his dad's entertainment dueling and making his own version of that >Literally never uses it again I don't understand why they would do this
But we still got linear duels with predictible matchups. At least in a tournament it makes sense for people to be playing a card game. People dont normally play those outside of tournament settings.
Ian Edwards
Yes, as shit as Arc-V was, at least it was entertaining
Nathaniel Moore
>But we still got linear duels with predictible matchups. I disagree, but hey, at least you admit tournaments are fucking boring in that sense. Also, >Trying to apply irl logic to an anime Cardfags really need to stop this. The game itself is just a stand-in for the average shonen powers saving the world now. It's no different from ninja shit or quirks or whatever is going on in modern shonen. There's no need for tournaments.
Mason Edwards
>s4fags still delusional Lmao
Ethan White
> going away from his idealistic view of his dad's entertainment But smile world faggotry was present in most of his following duels?
>shitvulva >fun to watch >shitvulva duels >good Lmao look at this retard
Austin Morales
That's the weird thing. They built up all this shit about him forging his own way to entertain but then directly after Synchro Dimension, we just reverts back as if nothing ever happened
Luke Myers
>At least in a tournament it makes sense for people to be playing a card game Fuck this pretext, the whole world revolves around card games. "Worldbuilding" be damned.
Elijah Williams
okay then what is the whole "worldbuilding" you are talking about in VRain? DM, GX, 5Ds, ArcV (what a shame the story turn out to be shit) worldbuilding will shit on VRain endlessly
Ryan Anderson
I'm saying I don't give a shit about worldbuilding. Can't you read? Just give me a straight shill and a straight story.
Wyatt Green
>When Kamishiro was in charge, people wanted Yoshida back >Now when Yoshida is back, people want Kamishiro once again This stupidity must end, just finally bring proper writer for next series.
Please dont tell me the reason why Ai is so shocked by this is because he used the SOL master access to give his system to all Ais in the world and he only just realized what kind of fucking dumpster fire mess this is going to create.
We could always blame the directors and card shilling complications instead. trickstar and gouki seemed too powerful at the beginning, and i think they wanted a new blackwings through salamangreats.
Justin Myers
Yugioh is like the american poltitcal system. Get used to it.
Elijah Gutierrez
Doubtful, he seemed singularly sad for Roboppy and even shed a tear. What he used the SOL keys for was to make Link Vrains F2P and shut down SOL.
Austin Brooks
>What he used the SOL keys for was to make Link Vrains F2P and shut down SOL. Thats one thing he did. Doesnt mean thats all he did with it.
William Carter
It's a botched mess that lost its way and strayed into a completely different, aimless thing. This thing is pretty much the most hollow and pointless ygo spinoff to date.
Hudson Hernandez
Yeah, but giving Roboppy free will was an unintended side effect that he doesn't even know how it happened, so that was never his goal in the first place.
Benjamin Robinson
Just give Kaz power, just like how they give him in DSoD
Sebastian Ramirez
Sure, but seeing how happy he was to have at least his shota comrade, would you put it out of the picture that Ai tries to defeat his soul crushing loneliness by making all the AIs smart. Seeing as how it looked as if it Roboppi was... until that moment of course.
Gavin Nguyen
I don't get why all fault gets pinned on him when: >Bohman was created by Lightning and it was HIS plan to absorb all Ignis into him >Bohman then fully absorbed the Ignis, giving zero chance to recover them >Having no "incentive" to let Super Bohman live anymore, PM and Ai finish him off, with Mirror Link Vrains' system (again, created by Lightning) fully banishing him I get he is guiltripping himself by being the only survivor and the like, but factually is not his fault. Even in the 2nd part of the Roboppi Duel all people said there was no other option.
Landon Hall
Unremearkable is 5/10, not 6/10 you MAL pig who rates everything average at 7/10.
Parker Jenkins
Oh boy more darkness and edge how novel.
Grayson Cruz
>seeing how happy he was to have at least his shota comrade I don't think he was truly happy. Even if he let Roboppy tag along, Ai was still the one to send him away to his own appliance island first.
Kayden Bennett
>too safe Risk will sink this ship.
Hunter Morales
>implying ygo wont need DARKNESS and edgy
Xavier Reed
I don't understand how you can like a card game anime but not like tournament arcs. That's how you play card games...in tournaments. DM was like 90% tournaments and it worked because the characters were good.
Ayden James
Not if he decides to throw it in halfway through and derails what came before. He's kind of erratic.
Noah Bailey
Last few episodes will be Aoi, Takeru, and Yusaku hanging out to play Air Hockey and Revolver final duel with Playmaker
DM tells me you're talking about the first anime. The first anime was pure shit whenever it wasn't clinging to the manga's bones, no one talks about KC Grand Prix (or virtual world, which was a tournament in all but name) because they were fucking shit.
Jordan Gutierrez
well, that erratic make it fun its make thing unpredictable
Ayden Taylor
If you can't understand that then at least try to understand THIS. People. have. different. preferences. IRL logic. doesn't. apply. to anime.
>Ceremonial duel will be Revolver Vs Playmaker I guess it was expected but still disappointed. Why are we supposed to believe Revolver stands a chance against Playmaker when he lost TWO times?
exactly, but this time, someone who wont jobbed at everything, but at least net a win on MC's friend
Caleb Gray
Okay so if they arent playing games in a torument how are they playing card games? I'm just trying to figure out how a card game anime without a tournament might work...I guess like Vrains which people seem to be mixed about.
I like tournament arcs because everybody is competing for the same thing and you know there can be only one winner, so the stakes are high but not over the top like the world is ending or some shit. They're fun.
Also Virtual World is my favorite arc. Noah was a good antagonist, and that duel in the KC Grand Prix where Kaiba defeats Sigfried with 50LP left is one of my favorites in the series.
yes, i know about that, about lol time reset, and the first rpg game where he success take over everyone soul until yami reveal that's why i want another character
Jaxon Williams
>I like tournament arcs because everybody is competing for the same thing and you know there can be only one winner, so the stakes are high but not over the top like the world is ending or some shit. How often is this even the case in a yu-gi-oh! tournament arc? The motives for most characters isn't glory.
>that feel when you watch random episodes of the DM anime once a month but the last time you picked up the DM manga was in 2005 back when the show was still on the air
I havent read the Yugioh manga in like 10 years. Should I? Is it THAT much better than the anime?
The same way we were supposed to believe Jack stood a chance against Yusei. > I'm just trying to figure out how a card game anime without a tournament might work. SoL like GX season 1, heavily plot-based like Vrains, maybe even something completely wacky like superheroes or cops fighting crime with card games.
Simple. I'm not that hung up on card games needing to strictly make sense. It's anime man, swap it out for anything, magic soul powers or shooting fire or any other crazy shonen power. Do they need tournaments? No. And neither does this.
In fact in Vrains it wouldn't make sense for Revolver/Lightning/Bowman/Ai to hold a tournament in the first place.
Blake Ward
Absolute banger, have Kimeru back for the next series as well
The tournament poster is a vanguardfag. Ignore them as they want to divide us
Kayden Cook
>Animated series >climax Shit, we're almost done with VRAINS.
Justin Price
It doesn't matter, Ai is beautiful enough to account for all of them.
Adam Hall
Atem was trying to find his identity and stop Malik. He didn't really have a competitive motive. Meeting Jack wasn't about trying to come in first. Most of these tournaments are devices to tell a story underneath not because the characters want to be in first place. Why do you think cheating and villainy are often unpunished?
Luis Gutierrez
Ok Yea Forums its been quite a while now so this begs the question Would You?
I can not remember the last time I've been so horny for an anime character.
Liam Ortiz
But DBZ has tournament arcs all the fucking time. Same with YuYu Hakusho. I guess it's just an old school shonen thing that has no place in modern shonen?
Matthew Sullivan
he looks like Yuto's dad
Bentley Turner
DBZ is fucking trash
James Morales
Maybe maybe not or we get a break. We'll have to wait a few weeks to find out
The point is it's not necessary. You act like tournaments are a prerequisite setting when no, it's perfectly fine for characters to just have a conflict without some kind of contest going on.
Isaac Davis
DB and DBS got tournament arcs, DBZ didnt
Jordan Bell
You should have done what i did >Dropped VRAINS when Emma Vs Revolver started >Picked up again and dropped it after the first eisode of S2 Now im finally having fun but you should have taken a break if you didn't like it
Dragon ball was chasing money. People just wanted to read fight sequences. I don't know if it's very comparable when tournaments in ygo have more focus on building motivations and relationships.
David Rogers
>had high hopes when S3 was just started and thought the "YGO Cycle" finally kicked-in? >What went wrong? It kind of happened to be honest. S3 is miles better than S1 and S2 (Not saying much but still). It's just a shame S3 seems like will end sooner than expected so it never got to redeem VRAINS
>Every season gets shorter. Zexal was 146 so that point's out the window already.
Isaac Myers
Vanguard doesn't really do tournaments anymore which is the funny part.
Christopher Cook
Unjustified hiatus for anniversary when anniversaries shouldn't be a big deal. 5DS wouldn't have been better with a break and Arc-V shows that putting emphasis on anniversary is just a bad idea in the first place.
Nathan Collins
What has the genre come to when Vanguard, the show with the highest tournament per episode count has stopped doing tournaments?
Josiah Morris
>What went wrong?
>Ai's reasoning for becoming evil is so stupidly bad you wonder what the fuck the writers were smoking >Roboppi comes and goes just like that >Every side charcater dies in the blink of an eye >Pandor is just there but hopefully, she becomes evil or something >Aoi fails yet again and there is no signs of redeeming herself. Otherwise, i would say the season is pretty decent. Better than past seasons but if nothing cool happens later then i don't know. A part of me doesn't want VRAINS to end soon but the other is already done
Cell Games, the tournament at the start of the Buu Saga and the tournament at EoZ.
Jason Powell
No arc-v could've been perfectly fine, or at the very least satisfying if the people in charge weren't morons.
Colton Green
>Ai's reasoning for becoming evil is so stupidly bad you wonder what the fuck the writers were smoking I think your family/race being wiped out and it in part being your fault is reason enough to justify anything. But we still don't know what Ai wants, which is the key thing that will make or break everything.
Carter Nguyen
I never completely liked him. He had nice moments here and there but he still seemed like an asshole. Funnily enough, his friendship with Crow saved his character for me.
Can we really call the Cell Games a tournament? Everyone bar Goku and Gohan came just to watch given they knew they wouldn't be of help (although, props to the Anime for adding them helping during the Kamehameha clash even if it was for padding). And Cell in the middle of the match just blew up the arena and said "Fuck tournament rules".
Elijah Wright
>LABO 2.0? Why are you so obsessed with this piece of shit. As far i as remember they didn't even get Subbed
Austin Perez
If the plot makes sense, and the main non-legacy characters don't get fucked over / become stupid: sure why not? Arc-V wasn't really fucked by having its legacy characters.
Samuel Long
Wtf, man. I was just saying.
Leo Wilson
>We get Labo 2.0 until April 2020 Can you imagine? As much as VRAINS bore me i prefer it over that. At least with VRAINS, we gets subs
can you really call the kids tornament annd the squash vs jobberrs a tournamnt arc?
Owen Smith
They'll just lose the time slot and get another one later. or reruns.
Nathan Foster
The existance of a tournament doesnt automaticaly mean a tournament arc
Easton Howard
>People on NAC still blame Arc-V for how mediocre Vrains was
It wasn't Arc-V's fault that Vrains got completely rewritten before it even aired or how it got delayed a month so that they could force in Speed Duels and Skills for maximum DLinks shilling.
Michael Price
Legacy Characters shouldn't be main plot elements.
Jack being the KINGU of Synchro Dimension was badly done. He should have been strong, but not the main factor of the arc.
They put him in relevancy above most Arc-V characters which is just wrong.
it's a 5/10 maybe even 6 at best anything above that is delusion
Jordan Kelly
Keep telling that to yourself buddy. It deeeefinitely wasn't Arc V's production trainwreck causing a domino effect or anything.
Alexander Green
>It wasn't Arc-V's fault that Vrains got completely rewritten Vrains' early premise was similar to Arc-V's, so after seeing how it crashed and burned, they scrapped it up except for things like BA and Go (which were rewritten latter anyway).
Joshua Myers
jack was more of a rival to yuya than the rest of the cast
Anthony Rogers
Jack wasn't the main plot of the synchro dimension at all - the plot was driven by Jean Carlo (was that his name?) and Leo
Let Kaz work on Gundam Unicorn style OVAs, like he was expecting for DSoD. I don't want him going back to the hospital again when NAS inevitably causes his blood pressure to go up.
Jackson Wilson
what is that even?
Evan Baker
>Legacy Characters shouldn't be main plot elements. This is why I don't want any legacy characters tb h. They've had their time, let the new guys be the focus of their own show.
Connor Rivera
Yusaku should have probably lost to Go.
Austin Foster
reiji was aa good ccharacterr but a bad rivall since he was both yyuya's boss andd he ddiddntt haave conflict with him. He is a menttor at most, Jack was the true rival of arrc-v
Maybe we need a yugioh character with rubber powers so people can be constantly reminded that last turn turnarounds are always inevitable.
Jordan Cox
I can understand if the production fallout can cause a lot of rewriting, rushed production, and recaps early on Vrains, but that doesn't really explain the mediocre writing from S2 onwards when they should have already sorted themself out at that point.
Camden Long
Please, enlighten us about the production side.
>Vrains' early premise was similar to Arc-V's In what way? Yusaku was originally a newbie who didn't like to stand out, the oposite of Yuya who wanted to be an entertainer.
>us >implying it's not just you being an ignorant ass Look it up yourself, dummy. Here, I'll even help you get started. Go read through about how bad it was. desuarchive.org/a/search/text/ono kamishiro/
Jacob James
I blame producers who wanted a new crow. Still having a lot of fun with vrains though.
Brayden Russell
Something that really stood out at the time was the show's theme at 1st being "Take a step forward, and try!", eerly similar to Arc-V's "Take a step forward with courage!". It also mentioned stuff like Charisma Duelists (ring a bell?).
Later? It suddenly became about Yusaku being an edgy hacker trying to "recover his lost time" by fightning a cyber terrorist organization. That's... like nothing that was announced at 1st.
Dominic Jenkins
What is LABO?
Eli Rodriguez
>Duels this time are with Virtual Reality in high speed duels on Hoverboard/Skateboard like devices >The show's theme is "一歩を踏み出し、トライしよう！" (Take a step forward, and try!), on the premise of kids should try things out instead of giving up at the first try due to being overwhelmed by information. >Yusaku is a boy who doesn't like standing out, and particularly doesn't stand out at school. However, he gets drawn into encounters with people as he tries out Dueling for once.
With half of the outsource animations studios jumping after Arc-V, VRAINS had to fill the first five weeks with a live cast hyping it up.
Cooper Powell
I ONLY DUEL TO WIN!
Connor Edwards
You think we'll ever get any interviews from the staff about what went wrong? I'm always interested in hearing about that kind of stuff.
Tyler Davis
Director change? Katsuya Asano may have rejected a lot of the previous plots.
Aiden Jones
>interviews from the staff about what went wrong I'm interested too but not a chance. This is the kind of thing they'll bring to the grave.
Benjamin Martin
No. They obviously won't embarass themselves in the public eye. We can only speculate by what we see or people low on the totem pole raging on Twitter.
Liam Phillips
>Yusaku being an edgy hacker trying to "recover his lost time" This never made any sense. If it was just about getting revenge, it'd be one thing, but how did he expect to "recover his lost time" or whatever.
No. Behind the scenes issues rarely ever come out because of the kinds of people he Japanese are.
Nathan Williams
Time Travelling isn't that uncommon in YGO and neither is age regression recently.
Chase Miller
Probably figurative language that got put through the CR translation blender. Just means he wants closure.
Julian Rogers
That won't happen. That would be suicide, for them.
Jacob Taylor
>Probably figurative language that got put through the CR translation blender. But didn't Spectre say that the opposite happened for him?
John Howard
I don't remember what Spectre said, but it's not hard to figure out what it means. For Yusaku it was torture and he lost his childhood years to it when he should've been a carefree kid. Spectre had fun during the LI and found his purpose, so the opposite then.
Wyatt Reyes
I would've liked Vrains more if every season after the first didn't open with a contrived way of forcing Playmaker out of retirement when he's finally able to enjoy life just slightly more
Joshua Cox
What you can do when everybody else can't do their jobs right.
Jason Lee
does kaz WANT to work on ygo?
Kayden Jackson
The show actually seems somewhat aware of that, kek. Like that one time when he fainted and in his mind he's just sleeping on his desk and thinking how tiring it is.
Logan Kelly
they do their jobbings right, though
Carter Williams
>contrived Revolver warned the ignis were bad news, and some of them were bad news. Is it really that contrived?
Cooper Bailey
Sadly that's the only thing they are good at. For GG to win with Altergeists it had to be against someone who fucking bricked and tried to do his best with that hand.
Adrian Powell
This isn't wrestling.
Grayson Smith
No. Lightning sending Bohman to take Jin's consciousness to use as an avatar to Duel despite we being shown he could already make one himself is. And if you are going to mention Kusanagi's betrayal, why not do it from the start? It seems like the writers remembered that scene was in the OP and wrote something out of it in the fly.
Mason Bailey
Literally nonexistent.
Sebastian Ross
>to use as an avatar to Duel He took him to use him as a hostage you idiot.
Elijah Long
>No. Lightning sending Bohman to take Jin's consciousness to use as an avatar to Duel despite we being shown he could already make one himself is. He wanted to torture and use him as bait, simple enough.
No, you're just a stupid person. He took Jin to use him as a hostage. >why not do it from the start Because he didn't think Kusanagi could actually defeat Yusaku, it was just a means to weaken him so Bohman could finish him off. Given that Bohman needed time to develop and pattern himself after Playmaker and Ai, trying to take out Playmaker like that early on would ruin Lightning's own plans. Why are you so stupid? Why are you so stupid?
Ayden Torres
Why not then have Bohman drag Yusaku into Links Vrains via one of the screens in the hot dog truck then?
>When you have nothing and resort to ad hominems
Logan Stewart
Because Lightning needed Yusaku to keep dueling Bohman until it was time for the endgame, as it says in the second post you linked to you stupid nigger.
Jose Martinez
He wanted leverage too.
Jason Collins
>More ad hominems
Jonathan Martin
Water and Light don't go to together.
Nicholas Walker
just end this infighting we all know it's gonna be a DM super the nostalgiafags won the moment duel links became a success it's over
Michael Campbell
why did pokemon retain its super popularity while yugioh slowly died off into the shit we see now
Noah Stewart
Just put maekawa atsushi in charge of writing and we'll have wall to wall whining 24/7. But I would probably still like it and that's all that matters. Pokemon has viedo game releases every year and people know the anime won't go anywhere.
Henry Campbell
I get it, but the point is that's more convoluted than just having Bohman drag Yusaku into Link Vrains for their 1st and 2nd matches (keep in mind they don't have Revolver's program yet). After they get it, they already have a reason to take them down because of the whole conquering humans plan.
Asher Ward
What do you mean? In the actual card game yugioh is way bigger. As an overall franchise Pokemon is bigger because video games are a much bigger market nowadays than TCGs. And they keep making actual games while Konami only made a phone game that was fun for like 1 year and then called it a day.
Daniel Ortiz
Taking hostages to use as bait and leverage is convoluted? The only convoluted stuff might be windy's dumb tricks.
William Cox
Convoluted as a mean to get Playmaker to fight Bohman. Why not do the same that was done to Jin? The thing is that Jin as a hostage doesn't even get brought up until late into the game (even Yusaku and Kusanagi's promise talking about it was a flashback in the very same episodes the thread was carried).
James Gonzalez
Either he didn't know where he was or trying to go directly after an alert and aware hacker is a bad idea.
I would be fine with it, but he wrote a lot of the last third arc-v episodes. And some more famous hated stuff like dragonball gt and digimon 02. it would be shitposter bait.
Dominic Moore
Random trivia time I was randomly looking at something nostalgic, namely a big "Thank You Miiverse" image after the service ended like 2 years ago. Surprisingly enough, my eye spotted a Blue Angel drawing! Didn't expect to see a VRAINS reference in such a thing.
I know people hate Ono for ruining ARC-V but do people forget this is also the same guy that did 5D's? A season regarded by many to be the best YGO series? What the fuck
It's the other way around. Also, poke mo never ever stopped pandering to cheap nostalgia whereas ygo kept it's dignity.
Adam Perry
>Also, poke mo never ever stopped pandering to cheap nostalgia whereas ygo kept its dignity. Digimon also lost its dignity. I think the only childhood franchises with dignity are Yugioh and Bayblade
Grayson Wood
Like Kazuki would allow it. Remember that this franchise has an author. Only franchises created in boardrooms full of greedy pigs would sink into resorting to such a cheap move. We will keep getting DM development in a movie every 10 years.
Nathaniel Powell
you are just talking about the anime right?
Kevin Wright
I can hardly call beyblade a childhood thing since it never reached the craze levels of pkm or ygo. At least in my country the anime died out really quickly.
Of course. Though at least the gamefreak branch of the videogames is pretty much shit right now.
Asher Sanders
>we all know it's gonna be a DM super the nostalgiafags won the moment duel links became a success it's over Literally no one believes this. Even a female MC is more believable than DM Super
Chase Stewart
Is Vrains as a whole better than the low point (i.e.Pre WRPG Arc/WRPG Arc) of 5D's?
Christopher Anderson
Well where i lived Bayblade, Digimon, Pokemon, and Yugioh were a big deal. Of course some more than others. As far as i know, Bayblade still gets Anime sequels and toys too
Digimon was enjoyed only by contrarians who couldn't afford to play pokemon games and beiblade has aged awfully in the west to the point it is completely dead here.
Jeremiah Cruz
Not maybe but more like 100% sure.
Ryder Bailey
According to who?
Xavier Richardson
>So apparently YGO 7 will be a massive crossover Anime
Digimon is still popular in the west but only between spics and huehues.
John Russell
Stop pushing NAC/Org speculation as fact
People have been saying this each time a series is close to ending since 5D's and its always wrong.
Landon Collins
Northwemko user doing his stuff I guess.
Luis Phillips
I don't know, I still enjoyed parts of XYZ Dimensions like Tyler Sisters, Yuya Vs Edo, Ute Vs Edo, Kaito Vs Dennis, Yuya/Ute Vs Ruri/Rin, Joeri Vs Yusho, Joeri Vs Yuya, Leo Vs Yuya/Reiji, Zarc Vs Gongenzaka/Jack, Reiji Vs Zarc, Yuya Vs Dennis and Yuya Vs Reiji
I think Link Evolution will get ported to PC but for next year together with the PS5 and new XBOX when they come out. Konami did the same with Legacy Of The Duelist. But it's all for nothing because Konami only cares for Duel Links.

I love 5Ds personally, but it's not nearly as good as DM
Zachary Hughes
BASED Ai and Revolver putting this miserable series out of its misery early
>cuckboros gets cucked in the anime and never appears which is why KoA is free to fuck with it's text based, first shitvulva loses while shilling structure deck, then the so called ace gets nerfed
Xavier Hughes
>Revolver's only duel this season is going to end as a loss WHILE shilling a structure deck lmao never in the history has this ever happened before, the absolute state of our so called "rival", not to mention less winrate than the main girl
Josiah Morales
Since VRAINS is soon to end might as well do this >Favorite Duel >Favorite character >Favorite side character >Favorite episode >Favorite archetype >Favorite villain >Favorite moment
They're going to shove all 3 god cards into a duel that should be 3 episodes max?
Lucas Rivera
>Favorite Duel Soulburner Vs Bohman >Favorite character Soulburner >Favorite side character Soulburner >Favorite episode Episode 94 >Favorite archetype Cyberse >Favorite villain Ai >Favorite moment Soulburner summoning a Link 4 monster and realizing he is is going to lose.
They have the same VA as Char Aznable and spouts off about MUH IDEALS so maybe
Levi Cook
>Casino and Power Level scenes were his most funny ones >The BS and GG Duel reveals his motivation being the same one anyone external to humans would conclude >Brings Ai's "Good for you humans!" scene to an abrupt end >Becomes even more annoying after his "dream" >Admits being a brat but refuses to change. Not so smart after all >Gets confident and shit for CHADburner misplaying like crazy >Returns to robot form for forced sympathy. Knows his place as a cleaner robot.
No. If anything, most sympathetic one is Ai.
Jaxson Taylor
>Pyro Phoenix never used again lmao
Jackson Sanders
Based Ryuzu
Zachary Baker
He can use it against borrels.
Michael Kelly
That dragonmaid should have been the design of enhanced roboppy. I'm tired of shotas.
Ryan Carter
I am really glad I dropped gundam long ago. These new designs are soulless.
Ayden Gray
Will Ai ever be topped as the most handsome villain ever?
If kaiba's design continues to be corrupted to fit modern times, then yes.
Nathan James
Any news on that new series yet?
Man, I remember the days when we used to say Yuya was thirsty for the citrus. So much wasted potential on Arc-V really. I blame it on the cross-over characters stealing the spotlight.
Ethan White
Less sympathetic and more pitiful I think. Definitely felt bad for him more than anything.
Jose Myers
>people think Ai is better looking than THIS Absolutely retarded tastes.
>pathetic loser that is aoi >dueling again pick one
Parker Howard
>loser >better win ratio than revolver's Come on, at least make insults that make sense. I really want to see her dueling only because of the short skirt.
>aoi is the absolute worst main girl I have to disagree. Anzu exists to chase the MC and it never really goes anywhere ever. >emma and miyu are non existent Emma had 5 duels. Miyu is a motivational character like Shizuka. >queen was also worthless in the end She was an evil executive, that's all she needed to be.
Nolan Green
Roboppi was charming when he was a maid robot at the start, then became annoying when he turned into a shota. I guess him going full evil was cool but doesn't save his character for me. Turning him into a shota was a mistake
anzu had a decent design aoi is so fucking bland that they have keep changing her design to be more appealing
Michael Reed
>in real life Why do you keep saying that?
Sebastian Clark
garbage in garbage out
Chase Bailey
>Playmaker Vs Ai >Palymaker loses >Aoi reappears and kicks Ai's ass Is the only logical conclusion for her character. I mean she had to survive for something right?
Anzu is just about as plain as Aoi is, had refinements in her design as the manga went on. and did nothing for a good 75 percent of the manga. You can't tell me this was worth 8 years.
>they have keep changing her design to be more appealing
But they ruin it more and more with each version.
Aoi>>Blue Angel>>Blue Girl>>>>Blue Maiden
Kayden Gray
aoi is literal trash with no tits or ass her fake ass avatars are the only somewhat attractive things about her her RL self is the ugliest ygo main girl
Nathaniel Thompson
Nice cherrypicking
Ayden Powell
you can't ruin shit that was garbage since inception
Dylan Williams
>cherrypicking It's not cherrypicking. She just gave up and she isn't a duelist either so there was no point.
Jack Rogers
at least kotori had the decency to not even try dueling
Eli Nguyen
wasn't this show going until march? will they just stop airing for a while. what the hell?
>yugioh vs gx Never gets off the ground and is turned into filler. Causes Kaz to radically shift GX. >bonds beyond time Financially lukewarm and detracts from the anime by taking away staff. >Arc-V Self explanatory >dark side of dimensions Detracts from Arc-V, something that was already having problems. I'm counting a lot more bad than good here.
Joshua Morris
>we can't ignore that up to late synchro arc ArcV was the best ygo to date. Ehhh one thing for sure is the hype was through the roof and then ep92 happened
The movies would be fine if they could keep the anime stable, but they clearly can't. This isn't one piece, bleach, or naruto where they can keep cranking out movies because all they have to worry about is adaptation.
Brody Watson
>Detracts from Arc-V not even teh same studio or staff. stop the retardation. ARC-V staff was trash BBT was made to promote the new cards while YGO was at its peak in popularity and breaking its own sales record AGAIN during the 5Ds era. you arcfags are turning into the Digimon Adventurefags of YGO.
Isaiah Perry
As far as we know those movies only affect the animation of the series so it's not really something that important
Thomas Murphy
>pretty ok >posts shitty pink hippo he was using from the start
YIKES I'm watching Yu-Gi-Oh for serious duels, not for clowns in a circus.
this faggot speaks as if BBT has made everyone in the staff to drop the anime and it has AMAZING quality. while BBT looked the same as your average episode but a little better and again. DSOD was made by TOEI. not even teh same studio and had a different budget allocated to it. the tv anme and movies don't share budgets you fucking retard
You can pretend all the anniversary movies went fantastically all you want. Even if you do, arc-v alone shows how stupid it is to treat them as something special.
Treat anniversaries as something special. Arc-V isn't a movie.
Christian Foster
>arcv fags pushing the staff meme again dark side of dimensions and arcv didn't even had the same staff members and had Konami digital entertainment helpng. and had Kazuki himself supervising the damn movie. HURR DURR MUH ARCV GOT FUCKED BECAUSE DSOD. Arc-V problem was the staff. mostly Ono not being able to move on from 5Ds. and even Ono only managed to make 5Ds because Kazuki was behind the scenes. 5Ds was the last series that had the man himself helping it. once Kazuki left for good was when the shit show started
I'm a DM nostalgiafag who saw Pyramid of Light in theaters and I'm pretty sure the average poster here isn't even old enough to be nostalgic for DM. I would say the average nostalgiafag here probably is all about 5Ds as that was probably their first series.
No, there's a near even split between those nostalgic for DM, GX, and 5DS on Yea Forums.
Kayden Gomez
the other funny thing is that Kazuki writes the small events of Duel Links and is even behind adding non card game gameplay on it while doing new artwork of the characters. you want a good new ygo anime? pray to god that Kazuki decides to get back at helping the anime and manga staff Or that a YGO otaku gets into directing or producing the anime until then expect more shit like the 777 episode youtube.com/watch?v=TMjBHD2o6NA 5Ds was peak ygo in terms of popularity you liking it or not. broke sales record one year in and after the golden yusei meme broke its own sales record while everyone was hyped as fuck for Zexal after 5Ds ending. >The game maker Konami announced on Tuesday that Guinness World Records has recognized Yu-Gi-Oh! as the best-selling trading card game to date with over 25,175,567,833 cards sold as of March 31, 2011. The card franchise beat its own record of 22,587,728,173 cards, set in 2009 (the 10th anniversary of the card franchise). 5Ds ran from April 2 2008 to March 30, 2011in japan

>he other funny thing is that Kazuki writes the small events of Duel Links and is even behind adding non card game gameplay on it I told you i was joking when i said that
