Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS

>Pandor won't even show up in the second to last episode
What's the point of her again?

Just like all the VRAINS characters besides PM.

For them Greek/Asimov references.

I wish that this was at least half as good as zexal

Pottery

I never get why some autists get so hung up and fixated on such a generic "the adventure continues" ending. It's like getting obsessed about how a past war is referenced in a fantasy novel but not getting to hear every tiny detail when it doesnt matter that much. Literally nothing bad can happen after astral gained omnipotence

You know how at the end of 5ds Yusei solved the momentum problem in like 6 months or something for the epilogue
I guess Revolver did that for AI except a little early

Was it ever said the Numeron Code isn't one-time only thing? I don't think Astral can just spam wishes however he wants.

It wasn't a one time thing like it's dbz DNA astral has to go get the dragon balls again, it's literally powers of god. He can do anything he wants as long as he knows about it

which of the Yu-Gi-Oh shows after GX is worth watching?

5ds 1-64 is still the most friendly part of the spinoffs to most newcomers
After that it's just watching some of each to see if you think you'll like it or not, they're different enough where it's hard to know what someone will like.
Arc-v has no payoff tho. It's only good as an interesting case study

VRAINS : literally no one use pendulum again, ... ever

>Ai dieing whether he wins or loses
Nah they ain't reviving them. I know this sounds retarded but I think they're going "Ai is pretending to be evil to get killed" route so he can join them.

Did you not see the ep yet? Kidnapping consciousnesses to force yusaku into a duel so he can suicide by cop is exactly what he's doing

Just like no Synchro in Zexal

Arc-V S1.

>even fucking Vector is redeemed

Zexal outside of kaito 2 times didnt use anything but xyz. But several main characters had 1 other thing that wasnt link, and fucking rituals of all things getting some shine just further highlights absence of pendulums

she will sacrifice herself to revive the ignisses

Vector did nothing wrong.

She probably had a lot more significance in the plot, but got scrapped due to rushed season.

Why did VRAINS even have female characters?

Why did they never show Judai defeating the light? Wasn't there like a prohecy or something?

good morning

GX was weird with it's bosses. I don' recall them showing how Judai became The Supreme King too, it just happened out of nowhere.
Good morning piggu

Seems like they dropped the light of destruction after yubel on purpose. Maybe from disinterest, who knows

They straight up pulled it out of their ass. The Supreme King is even brought up to Judai, then he's suddenly Surpreme King a few episodes later.

One of the dark world monsters was like
>judai, give into your kokomo no yami
And he was like "ok" and then popped out the supreme king. Or at least that's how I vaguely remember it

Junki did skedaddle out of gx at season 4, leaving yoshida in charge. Maybe he either never liked the premise of the light of destruction or just couldn't think of how to resolve it in a half season.

The same reasons any of the other series have female characters? Because some people just won't watch, they don't want to only draw male characters, and they want to market girl based cards. Don't try to pretend this isn't true for all of them.

>dragged back in for vrains probably because there just wasnt anyone else willing
Thinking about it, for better or worse he's been a major builder for what the yugioh anime franchise even is after DM, just because he was willing to stay and not leave mid series. I wonder why if kamishiro was bad ccx enough as a coworker/employee to get blacklisted, why they couldn't emergency fire him for someone else. Or maybe it was too late by the point they wanted to

Yoshida wasn't here for Arc V ?

You're only thinking about this now? He probably defines this franchise's stories more than Kaz.

Attached: 1566722921967.jpg (1200x1580, 280K)

It's still the most tightly paced by comparison to the rest and tells a pretty much complete story in 64 episodes. Gx can get plodding, dry, or just weird plus it looks really cheap and stiff early on. Yuma is obnoxious for like 2 cours minimum, depending on who you ask. Vrains has the ugly problem as well for a while early on, and yusaku becomes Yusei lite but somehow even more 2 dimensional by s2 and the cast isnt quite as strong as the 5ds one either.

Enjoying Yugioh requires you to buy into the absurdity of them solving problems with card games in the first place, and once you do that the step to motorcycles isn't that big. If anything the idea is bound to be a lot better than just standing around for anyone who hasn't been memed by LittleKuriboh, since things moving around are fundamentally more exciting.
Then there is also the more immediately gripping directoral style and the dystopian cyberpunk setting of Neo Domino in general. Not to mention the characters, who are well introduced and more interesting than any previous main cast. All in all, Dark Signers is almost certainly the most beginner friendly part of the spinoffs.

TL:DR; Card games on motorcycles is an unironically good concept, go fuck yourself.

The only yugioh anime he never touched was arc v. Presumably because he thought the studio finally found someone else to take the position off his hands. He usually wrote here and there for other anime even while working on yugioh, but basically wasnt doing anything with anime during arc v's runtime.

GX was the most all over the place, if you can handle that one all the other ones should be easy.

As much as I like LK and Team Four Star, they poisoned the discourse of the community with their cancerous memes

>5D's until episode 26. Peak YGO writing spin-off wise
>Arc-V until episode 38. Same as 5D's
Zexal and Vrains will depend just on your tolerance.

It's genuinely not that big of a deal. As a newcomer years ago I binged from DM to Zexal just fine and didn't even know people were throwing such a fuss about it.

Where's the scythe?

5ds has probably the best first episode. They were determined to sell the gimmick. By comparison vrains' first impression with speed duels just visually looks so strained due to the production issues

Links saved the game.

>5D's until episode 26. Peak YGO writing spin-off wise
one day you say it was 64 episodes and now its 26 ?

They're never gonna print Judgement arrows are they? Synchro and Pendulum decks would love it

She's subordinate.

Maybe the weapon will materialise later from some effect.

Not him but even way back in the day of your turn or early arc v threads there were a couple fortune cup supremecists due to some of the shakier bits of DS like monkey man.
To me it's a bit arbitrary to cut them apart since they're necessary to each other and overall the payoff is decent as far as yugioh anime goes

I doubt it would keep its full anime effect

She's literally one of the highest ranking member of SOL...

Looks really satisfying seeing them like that. I'm glad they did a top view of the field. Even more kino is The Arrival's link markers with one on top to signify Ai as the only one separate from the rest of them. Love a good symbolism.

Once it gets 6 counters.
>CHAiD actually assembles all the Summoning methods including Ritual when the supposed experts Reiji, Yuya and Zack couldn't
Based.
Only ones who say 64 are those who go "hurr durr darkness" ignoring the nosedive in writing.
Now's their chance to print it.

She subordinate to the kings.

>all the Summoning Methods
really?

>Only ones who say 64 are those who go "hurr durr darkness" ignoring the nosedive in writing.
That's an attitude I can't understand. Dark Signers was hardly perfect, but neither was fortune cup. If anything, fortune cup, while arguably slightly better paced, was more contrived than what came after it. To me they were always part of the same arc though, and had a very good payoff in the end, aside from Crow becoming a signer. To make a cutoff after episode 26 is just strange. Sounds to me like you just found Carly annoying or something.

I only just now thought about how he was willing to stay just as an episode writer in earlier years but repeatedly landed in a lead position bc someone left. Doesnt make me that hopeful at the producers' abilities to recruit new blood tho. Can Zappa come back for a few eps next series if it's more lighthearted, he was the best at comedy episodes

he didn't have pendulums so didn't use all the summoning methods

>"pendulums is a forbidden word"
- NAS

Yes.
The writing was more subtle as opposed to the hamfisted DS arc. The 1st episode already tells you a lot even before the OP plays.

>Arc-V until episode 38.
Why that and not 53?

Linkslayer became Xyz support.

Attached: exslayer.webm (1280x720, 2.89M)

Sure, but in that case shouldn't the cutoff be at like episode 6, or whenever Yusei gets put in prison? I for one can't recall any particularly subtle interactions or visualisations in the fortune cup itself either.

Not that user but despite the cool vibe of battle royale mini arc it does have some off things about it. But yuya v reiji 2 was a god tier duel

This.
Exactly after episode 38 you notice they are rushing things.
>Himuro's comment about wrongly guessing Yusei's facedown was Mirror Force tells us Yusei doesn't have the resources to build a pro-tier Deck, if his situational-ass Traps didn't already tell you
>Stardust embraces Black Rose, but Divine interrupts before Yusei can do anything else
>Jack takes the lead by stealing one of Yusei's cards
>Jack wanted to beat Yusei by using the combo the latter would have beaten the former in their last Duel with against him
Those at the top of my mind.

He showed up after banning during the battle with Go Onizuka. Not like playmaker got a lot of duels after that anyway. Decode talker just another supplementary monster to establish a bond between Yusaku, Ai, and Kusanagi.

Forgot one very important:
>Jack never used Stardust except for his unofficial match with Yusei

that episode was made before the banlist dropped user

Doesn't matter.

it does though because after that he never showed up ever again

Come now, Stardust embracing Black Rose was hardly subtle. It was great, yes, but hardly subtle. And speaking of Aki, her entire backstory was just exposited to us by that profiler guy, which to me was the worst writing decision all of the first 64 episodes.
As for making a counterpoint: I can't speak for how frequent they were, but Dark Signers has some great moments too.
>Crow and Yusei having a bro moment without saying a word after the latter's return to satellite

Does this really matter when everyone and their mom runs stupid situational shit in every show, seemingly just because of personal preference? It's not like Yusei is an outlier for using Scrap-Iron Scarecrow. If anything, Yugi is the weird one for actually playing Mirror Force.

You really want him to be spammed like Neos? There's been only 3 duels since then. And besides there's all these firewall variants anyway.

too purple.

firewall was not allowed to show up much even before the ban due to the trouble he was making irl during all of vrains he's the least summoned ace in history it's not a problem of spamming him it's the fact that konami doesn't want to promote banned cards darkfluid and xceed were made to replace him as "upgrades" to it even decode talker replaced him for some time after the ban

>Come now, Stardust embracing Black Rose was hardly subtle. It was great, yes, but hardly subtle. And speaking of Aki, her entire backstory was just exposited to us by that profiler guy, which to me was the worst writing decision all of the first 64 episodes.
The hug wasn't, but what happens after. And Koda was just pressuring Aki, surely herself and Divine spewing exposition when talking to each other would have been worse. Also, the objectively worst writing decision was making Crow a Signer. Saying objectively gets meme'd usually, but this time is pretty much right.
>As for making a counterpoint: I can't speak for how frequent they were, but Dark Signers has some great moments too.
Where was Crow during the first episodes? And Jack gets changed too quick. That just throws more fuel into the fire.
>Does this really matter when everyone and their mom runs stupid situational shit in every show, seemingly just because of personal preference? It's not like Yusei is an outlier for using Scrap-Iron Scarecrow. If anything, Yugi is the weird one for actually playing Mirror Force.
When we are talking about a character who literally got his cards from the trash, yes.

Have you ever considered hikokubo just wanted to write and shill other cards? Decode talker went a long time without ever being summoned as well. I don't see people going off to this extent about flame wingman or anything like that even though that was even more obvious.

>Decode talker went a long time without ever being summoned
that's because decode talker is not the ace monster if the actual ace monster isn't being summoned at least 10 times by the end of series then obviously the irl shit impacted how thing went
>Have you ever considered hikokubo just wanted to write and shill other cards?
he can do that while also showing firewall but he probably wasn't allowed to show firewall
>flame wingman
it's not the same case flmamewingman was just replaced not banned and replaced

>if the actual ace monster isn't being summoned at least 10 times by the end of series then obviously the irl shit impacted how thing went
What kind of arcane nonsense is this?
>he can do that while also showing firewall
That changes the course of animation, no he can't just pull it out whenever.
>it's not the same case flmamewingman was just replaced
And it's still more noticeable. Hell Yugi replaced his ace with silent magician. These aren't as big problems as you make them out to be.

>And it's still more noticeable
flamewing man was still being summoned after getting replaced they didn't do this with firewall you're pretty much saying that the ban has nothing to do with firewall not showing up and it's all just a coincidence that he's the least summoned and used ace monster now that's just a massive cope

Card that looks as good as it plays; in other words, too good.

>you're pretty much saying that the ban has nothing to do with firewall not showing up and it's all just a coincidence
It is. Playmaker had a lot of other dragons to push.

Garbo. Typical effect damage to put more pressure into PM.
Wouldn't say anti-climatic. It gets cockblocked EXACTLY for having the best effect out of PM's rainbow Bosses.

It's really good though. That's why it always gets conveniently negated instead of the opponent playing around it.

>It gets cockblocked EXACTLY for having the best effect out of PM's rainbow Bosses.
Removing a monster instead of just overpowering it goes against the style of anime writing.

No legacy shit at all would have been much better. ArcV already had a cast of great looking and charismatic characters.

Attached: Gay hackers.jpg (850x1024, 162K)

I would've prefered if they kept the legacy stuff to background details and introduced newer characters. Have shit like Jack Atlas on TV but don't have him get the same number of duels against Yuya as Yuya's actual rival. Have Crow lead the prison break but don't have him overly interact in the story.
There's a lot of things I would've done to better ARC-V. Honestly, it feels as though the Synchro Dimension never actually happened and it feels weird
>Yuya and co get teleported to Synchro to find Yuzu
>They go through the hotel room schenanigans

>Synchro Pendulum created.jpg
>Nirvana High Paladin, the representation of Yuya going on his own path
>All riots and shit stop
>Beat Jack
>They head to Xyz Dimension
After this, Yuya never Synchro Summons again until the finale, he regresses back to his old way of entertainment, he never so much as looks at Nirvana High Paladin let alone summons it.
Yuya also never gains a Fusion Pendulum until the finale either even though Gatlinghoul would've probably been a decent pick for that slot considering he was Zarcing out during that duel and Gatlinghoul doesn't seem to be a happy-go-lucky card like the other Performapals are.

Friendly as an anime experience to people who are used to normal seasonal anime, dumbass. Anyone can find a short and sweet introduction to the card game from youtube without having to sit through an anime for several half hours.

Arc-v's last OP song is one of the worst and most poorly mixed anime OPs I've ever listened to. I'm glad vrains picked it back up with the OP songs if nothing else

When it comes to arc-v there's no debate. ED 2 was the best

yugioh sure goes out of its way to make sure all the myths it incorporates have no purpose.

Why is that every spin-off Manga is a rushed mess by the end? They only last a few volumes, have fewer characters, get axed and usually have a boring plot compared to their Anime counterparts. The only Spin-off Manga i think was decent was the GX one even if it got axed and thus received a super rushed ending

Because it's monthly there arent a lot of chapters to spare for each. Which is probably why the anime and manga are separated now

>still no Pendulum Ritual

I think because the manga have even a more constricted budget than the anime, so they have to work with what they have. Or worse, having zero budget, like the Vrains manga.

>budget
The fuck? Literally all they have to do is pay 1 ot 2 guys, and probably not much. When each spinoff manga had to wrap up in time for the next one, there's just not many chapters to use in a monthly publication

You shouldn't remove the ritual card from ritual summoning.

>Literally all they have to do is pay 1 to 2 guys
Isn't the good thing about Manga that you don't depend on the budget? I mean, if you need more charcaters just draw them lol

Ed 1 was the best and had the cutest visuals.

>When each spinoff manga had to wrap up in time for the next one
Not really, time is not the problem considering how the 5D's manga had its run very well into mid Arc-V era. And it was released alongside the Zexal one.
I still think the problem is money considering how they always have to recycle the same people involved in the anime, like how Hikokubo wrote the 5Ds manga and Yoshida wrote the Zexal and Arc-V's ones.
If it wasn't the budget, they could hire totally different people, like how other franchises have.

Uh, I think Rituals can't be automatically pendulum summoned anyway. They had first to be ritual summoned by rules of the game, if not that would be an illegal movement.

A ritual isn't supposed to hit the field at all without a ritual card.

But that would be only the first time, isn't it? Like how a Fusion Pendulum has to be fusion summoned the first time, yet it could be pendulum summoned normally after that.

they can still be put in the spell zone.

The cool thing about a Ritual Pendulum is that you could have its scale effect be the Ritual Spell.
>You can Ritual Summon this card from your Pendulum Zone by tributing monsters from your hand or field whose total levels equal X.

Attached: Specter Earth.jpg (1536x2048, 98K)

This sounds like salamangreats.

Just include a clause saying it must first be either Ritual Summoned or Pendulum Summoned, much like Contact Fusions. Needing Ritual Spells is what holds back Rituals anyway.

Should we assume that Aoi is pregnant right now? She had eye contact with Yusaku.

It's not like Aoi has any reason to leave to somewhere else like Anzu, Asuka, or Aki did.

that kills the point of it being ritual cards like these need to be summoned properly first to be pendulum/special summoned later on

An extra year is still only 12 chapters tho. I think it has more to do with hikokubo and yoshida getting first dibs for an extra paycheck, because they're the senpai in yugioh. Manga would cost pennies to the franchise compared to any other marketing pushes

It's not like the ignis are anything like their name implies.

To be a red herring.

Maybe Pandor gives a last minute power boost to Ai or something and makes a LINK-7 so Playmaker can counter with a LINK-8

She'll open the box in the last episode and "Duel Monsters: A New Millennium" will come out.

If you cum in the virtual world, will you cum in real life as well? Honest question.

That's not hikokubo or yoshida being willing to work for next to nothing (otherwise why wouldnt yoshida simply pick up another anime gig for more pay when he has no trouble), that's the loyalty payments that are pretty strong in this franchise. Like how all the manga artists were kaz's assistants at one point and given the gig, that's just the reality of networking.
Working on yugioh anime is probably shitty on more than one occasion but animators do get recognized and bumped up if they do good work for the franchise, and get more prominent opportunities like getting a key position on dsod.

I know its rushed and all but does anyone get weirded out by how human yusaku is in s3? I miss his uber autism

He didnt do much but stand around and spectate this season until the final duel, outside of saying ai's name wistfully once, I have no impression of how he's been this season.

Shouldn't have cast an idol I guess.

I tought Ai's VA was more popular

Yeah, sakurai is extremely popular

Lol that's aoi's VA. Specter's VA's main gig is stage acting iirc, so still a different industry like aoi's situation.

He is, by far. So if a guy who has no problem getting roles or several at a time can get around fine, the 'b-but popular VA' excuse cant be used for characters like Reiji being mishandled.

>Lol that's aoi's VA.
That's exactly what the post is trying to say.

Replying to a post about specter?

She got scrapped after Vrains was set to be cancelled.

Yes. You don't think Specter's relevance was tied to Aoi's one point? If Aoi's VA couldn't be around long enough, Specter had no chance.

Attached: specter blue.jpg (854x1238, 78K)

>You don't think Specter's relevance was tied to Aoi's one point
Not to the extent he was basicallt scrapped like he was

They got rid of Blue Angel by the start of Season 2 so he wasn't bound by her from there on.

I'm guessing they really didn't have many plans for him outside of being one of her antagonists. Hence why he's never important again after blue angel is gone and yuki nakashima becomes a big idol.

Then they wouldn't have bothered to make him the one to foreshadow Lightning's secret. Otherwise we could have simply had BM vs Lightning given he commented her truth vision was annoying.

They weren't going to let anybody fight lightning who wasn't anti AI. And they had to something with specter as he was already established as revolver's sidekick.

They couldve used earth for a little bit of relevance, but didn't. They seemed to avoid it on purpose

That something being foreshadowing the whole reason Vrains happened?

They didn't want to retool him so they didn't.

>aoi found out who playmaker was
>but Go didn't
LMFAO

That something being foreshdowing one antagonist's dark side. He's not really key here.

THE most important antagonist's dark side?

Lightning's not Revolver, Bohman, or Ai. Specter might as well be Odion.

And the 3 of them were villians because of Lightning.

>Specter might as well be Odion
He was more of a Haga, if any.

And Shadi's responsible for many of the villains of the original series. Lightning's still a secondary antagonist just like dr.kogami.

And? Doesn't change Spectre was still considered something to challenge Vrains' most important character for being the cause of all conflict and foreshadow the part of his personality that caused that. Nothing like being bound to Aoi or shit. They didn't even blink an eye at each other during Season 2.

Does it matter? Go only wants to duel PM.

>Spectre was still considered something to challenge Vrains' most important character for being the cause of all conflict and foreshadow the part of his personality that caused that.
No, he's just Revolver's sidekick and has to be removed somehow. If it advances a secondary antagonist that's fine. Dr. Kogami was the cause of all the problems by your logic anyway. Creating the ignis caused everything even if he was put in a coma by one of them. Spectre's hardly critical. Even less so than Blood Shepherd
>Nothing like being bound to Aoi or shit.
I see you're just angry his relevance and spotlight was only really there because he was meant to be an antagonist to her.

Remember when Aoifags think they will get Blur Jobber's 4th form?

Creating the ignis caused everything even if he was put in a coma by one of them. Spectre's hardly critical. Even less so than Blood Shepherd
If he has to be removed somehow then why not do it off-screen or just be Mission Control like the Hanoi Trio was? You know, like Season 3 where everything was so rushed they resorted to the Tag Duels Vrains had been avoiding the last 2 Seasons to save half the limited time they had? You can say Kogami is the cause of everything, but at the same time the narrative has Lightning at fault. He is even appearing in the 2nd to last episode ffs. And foreshadowing Lightning's complex is better than everything BS did.
>I see you're just angry his relevance and spotlight was only really there because he was meant to be an antagonist to her.
And then he appeared later when they didn't even interact and the whole BA subplot was abandoned because?

>If he has to be removed somehow then why not do it off-screen or just be Mission Control like the Hanoi Trio was?
Tying up earth and his tear. He's for side plots and not a hero either.
>You can say Kogami is the cause of everything, but at the same time the narrative has Lightning at fault.
Lightning is responsible for setting off specific things not the start of it all or even being the primary antagonists.
>He is even appearing in the 2nd to last episode ffs.
To give one advancement to Ai's character.
>And foreshadowing Lightning's complex is better than everything BS did.
BS established him in a duel, idiot. There's a reason BS got a duel this season and not him. Spectre is apart of a checklist because of what he's made out to be early on. That's why he doesn't get a lot of duels.
>And then he appeared later when they didn't even interact and the whole BA subplot was abandoned because?
Because they didn't need to. The plot was already buried.

Wouldn't call it tying-up. Just another of the abandoned subplots because of Vrains ending early. Earth got offed by SOL which turned out to be nobodies.
>Lightning is responsible for setting off specific things not the start of it all or even being the primary antagonists.
He still is the cause for the Knights of Hanoi, Bohman and now Ai. Primary antagonist no, but still an important character.
>To give one advancement to Ai's character.
By referencing some important truth he discovered but the others didn't. That sounds like something an important character would do.
>BS established him in a duel, idiot. There's a reason BS got a duel this season and not him. Spectre is apart of a checklist because of what he's made out to be early on. That's why he doesn't get a lot of duels.
The Anime for some reason had a BS hard-on. There you got me. Still, there are other things which seemed like just part of a checklist but still got some screentime.

He still appeared despite before just being Aoi's villian (who then defeated her).

My point was that his importance seemed mostly conditional on Aoi being important. Even Earth's death was mostly used to develop Go and Aoi.

Re-entered the plot via a flashback, his 2nd Season character was recycling Dark Onizuka but for more than 2 episodes, and got rekt by Ai without having his erasure even animated.

>Re-entered the plot via a flashback, his 2nd Season character was recycling Dark Onizuka but for more than 2 episodes, and got rekt by Ai without having his erasure even animated.
He didn't reenter the plot with a flashback he just had flash backs in duels, dark onizuka isn't the same as putting AI in his head, and Ai has incredible plot armor.
>And ironically Takeru also had dropped premises going by what the other user said about having similar elements to Bohman.

That's just self contradictory about the duel with playmaker, and being a hanoi drone against lightning doesn't make him very important though it does make him be flashy.

>It wasn't going to develop cogently. You can't just keep passing a character around like that, you just end up with jack.
With him appearing just by himself so sparsely that wouldn't have been damaging.
>He didn't reenter the plot with a flashback he just had flash backs in duels, dark onizuka isn't the same as putting AI in his head, and Ai has incredible plot armor.
He came to the rescue of a random nobody who was never mentioned before and despite being a friend that made him come out of his retirement was never brought up again; Brain Hack wasn''t exactly the same, but it still boils down to "hurr durr people reasonably like the objectively best Duelist and he/Soulburner later came to laugh at me"; and Ai having incredible plot armor doesn't have anything to do with Go returning back to his roots getting glossed over.
>That's just self contradictory about the duel with playmaker, and being a hanoi drone against lightning doesn't make him very important though it does make him be flashy.
It does make him more than just an extension of Aoi.

>With him appearing just by himself so sparsely that wouldn't have been damaging.
That's one of the major problems with it, at least in my view. I guess it's a toss up.
>He came to the rescue of a random nobody who was never mentioned before and despite being a friend that made him come out of his retirement was never brought up again
He was an orphan friend, orphans kept coming back up. It's sympathy generation I suppose.
>Brain Hack wasn''t exactly the same, but it still boils down to "hurr durr people reasonably like the objectively best Duelist and he/Soulburner later came to laugh at me"
Not really, he acted all ascended and changed his deck to compensate for his weaknesses. I think he had a visible substantial change.
>Go returning back to his roots getting glossed over.
That's feels like an unfortunate result of a time constraint.

Nothing was done with the whole hybrid stuff, and Dinowrestlers didn't even get a Link-4. More changes than Dark Onizuka, but it still doesn't change that it's a retread of it.

Anti-skill, synchro, and fusion. Links don't have to be correlated with brain power. Roboppi went with low links. His moral alignment was skewed too, dark onizuka wasn't evil.
>It would be like Kaiba without Yugi so no.
There's a lot of problems with this one. Kaiba's arc almost completely revolves around yugi's actions. He's a rival character to a greater extent than all of the others. You can't have an obsessive rival character without a protagonist. His rivalry includes regular yugi as well anyway.
>I don't like to consider him an extension of Aoi.
It's not that he's an extension, I'm just not sure he had anything to fall back on.

Which stereotype will they go for next: shy but nice nerd, or loud mouthed book-dumb shounen mc

we need a protagonist that has his important relationships established early.

I've never cared that much about yugioh mcs. How about a better rest of the main cast and entertaining antagonists

>He's not supposed to have an orphan friend that gets effected by the villain's schemes? Alright, whatever.
When said friends weren't established earlier? Yes. Not as bad as it was with Aoi and Miyu, but still bad.
>Anti-skill, synchro, and fusion. Links don't have to be correlated with brain power. Roboppi went with low links. His moral alignment was skewed too, dark onizuka wasn't evil.
Anti-Skill got rekt with an asspull, while Chimera and Giga Spinosavate didn't appear again. Roboppi wents with lower Links, but at least he used more than 2 (not counting Crystal Heart here). His fucked up morals still are due to feeling butthurt towards PM. Dark Onizuka wasn't like that, but it's still the same gist of Go being inferior to PM and trying to change.
>There's a lot of problems with this one. Kaiba's arc almost completely revolves around yugi's actions. He's a rival character to a greater extent than all of the others. You can't have an obsessive rival character without a protagonist. His rivalry includes regular yugi as well anyway.

>It's not that he's an extension, I'm just not sure he had anything to fall back on.
Being someone who enjoyed the Lost Incident as opposed to the other kids would have been more worthy had it been explored more with someone like SB.

Things they should carry over from yusaku: his good looks, and his lower duel count. Maybe tread the same line of thought when it comes to his irl design: simpler but still sleek. Otherwise he's the epitome of a pretty face with not much there behind it after season 1.

>When said friends weren't established earlier?
I don't know, after what they did with yusaku and revolver, it's hard for me to get tied up about minor characters being put in like that.
>Anti-Skill got rekt with an asspull, while Chimera and Giga Spinosavate didn't appear again.
If you think those aren't significant we just disagree.
>would have been more worthy had it been explored more with someone like SB.
He already had revolver. They even killed the wind origin so he couldn't have another incident relationship.

>I don't know, after what they did with yusaku and revolver, it's hard for me to get tied up about minor characters being put in like that.
You mean about Revolver turning up to be the voice?
>If you think those aren't significant we just disagree.
I guess, it's just hard for me to consider them relevant when the former got beaten by a never-used again asspull while the latter two weren't even brought up against the person who was the reason those 2 were even things.

I thought his design looking good was kind of incidental to his concept. and his lower duel count was probably production issues.

I say that because they stop foreshadowing things as far as I cant tell. They were in too deep to not have bohman take long.

Are you only at the revolver duel?

I dont care why it happened, but I think it's a healthier option and more flexible if the MC is dueling maybe 50% of the time or a little less rather than 80%. I wouldn't be surprised tho if it's all switched to the previous status quo and the MC is ugly

Well it varies by the series, the real problem with yusaku is how many duels he has that are 3 and 4 episodes in a row.

Attached: PM vs S1 and S2 Main Villains.png (858x298, 25K)

>nothing in VRAINS has surpassed the Shark/Yuma scene

No, it's fine on paper for the mc to get the most important and longer finale duels. It's more like there were too many bohman duels that each went on longer than they should have AND most of them were with yusaku. Plus the typical vrains problem of only yusaku mattering as a duelist in the end. But the idea of a mc who is a little less of a screentime hog I condone

Not surprising. After the arc v hotels yugioh anime stopped believing in better long term investments for characters

I don't agree if there's nothing to break them up. he dueled revolver for 4 episodes then six later on.

Shark didn't do anything for me.

The speed duels were padding but that's still only 2 extra eps on two 3 parter duels. Why would anyone not want more flexible variety if it was possible unless you're just being contrarian for the sake of it?

I doubt they actually care about vrains either way. After a little bit of lurking it's visible that it's very easy to bait for replies here and hardly anyone seems capable of recognizing some obvious posting styles. Like when revolver anti got more creative exactly that one time and incited fanwars or the appearance of such by himself with plenty of (you)a in return

It just felt a little excessive to have the same two characters dueling for that long, especially early. I'm fine with more variety.

It's still excessive in those duels I agree but yusaku's total duel time overall still isnt as egregious as an mc compared to some parts in past series. It's just that vrains barely uses any of it's runtime well, whether or not the moment is focused on yusaku

>It's just that vrains barely uses any of it's runtime well
It's fine outside of some stuff with yusaku. People would just whine about filler.

Why would they not try and experiment a little with their formula if they were to finish it early anyways? I wish Yusaku and Aoi had had a sort of Yuma Kotori relationship but with a more serious tone.

Attached: Cute autists.png (1083x1200, 967K)

It would be a little odd to see Aoi and Yusaku smiling a lot.

They were eager to wrap it up and move on from vrains I guess. I'm guessing a regular like mitsutaka hirota will still be an episode writer for ygo7 but I wonder who else will hang around or come back.

Atsushi Maekawa, and and this seems to be one of Tachihara Masaki's only writing credits so maybe him.

Anyone remember the character designer for previous shows? I know Kaz did Zexal and Hara did Vrains. If we're not getting another bishonen MC for a while I hope it's a cute kid at least.

All of them have designers even if Kaz took a lead in design and a few of them could be missed if you don't read the credits of many episodes.

There's usually a main designer though right? IIRC it's typically announced in the beginning along with the show itself and other staff like the director, writer, music composers etc. I'll look into that when I can later.

I am really happy we know the last episode is going to look great.

In that case.

How do they manage to always get the work so well done?

I think there are some unfortunate design choices.

How did Kotori manage to be the best and cutest girl in all of the yugioh franchise? She literally has no competition.

I'm honestly glad ygo characters generally still manage to retain that distinctive style. I've nothing against pokemon but I'd never want them to pull a pokemon sun & moon.

That news is December at earliest probably

When do we get a look at the next season.
