Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains

>generic humanoid machine man

Can someone actually post a screenshot of the time the Hanoi mentioned having a spy in SOL technologies? Everyone talked about that not so long ago but I don't remember ever seeig that. Maybe this whole thing was just a rumour blown out of proportion.

It is more valid in this case since aoi's va for a while was dealing with her managing company shutting down and transitioning to a new one, which no one can predict. It's not necessarily that idols have to do more work but schedules may not be as flexible as someone who is only a voice actor and sticks within the same industry

Your standards are really low, user.

It has none. It is already one of my favourite monsters of all times.

Now that Vrains is about to end, which OP/ED is the best out of all of the series?

Clear Mind. Any other answer is wrong.

>OP: Calling
>ED: Glory

He didnt come out inmediately with his giant scythe

believe in nexus was better than clear mind.

I love the designs, the soundtrack, and the voice actors.
I actually enjoyed VRAINS, it was just an average anime, played it safe. And there were some enjoyable parts, nothing too horrible. I'll miss them

Please, Master Yoshida, give us at least one more "love" scene before this ends.

First of all, how dare you.

Should have put in the legend where the god crosses a frozen lake to meet his wife.

Freesia, Glory and most songs from 5Ds and Arc-V. Favorite one is probably Kizuna

believe in magic is the only good vrains ending

Glory Days is still my favorite of all times but Go forward is my new second favorite. Not bad, Vrains.

MUH!

I don't think the VA was at fault this time. Vrains had very few characters in comparison with former seasons, yet the interactions were basically null. And all of the secondary characters were equally shafted the same way, so it was not exclusive to Aoi's character.
If any, Vrains was Yusaku and Ai's show all along.

If people cared about interactions they wouldn't read past chapter 59 of the manga.

>of the manga
Which one?

the first one.

Look! It's card games ruined Yugioh faggot! How are you my man?

Hopefully never.

>constricting the story to one game didn't vastly restrict the types and quality of interactions

But that was the best chapter.

If your character is interesting enough the type of game they are playing is irrelevant, WHY they are playing is most important. Imagine Gundam without giant robots. Not only are Char and Amuro still good characters, but that's fucking stupid holy shit Gundam is synonymous with giant robots.

>it's another yugioh would have worked without the card game episode

Yugioh wouldn't be without cardgames. It's just one faggot that pushed that opinion. Ignore him and he will go.

Is it just people who think the card game is too childish? The manga was always made for teenagers, even back when it was all edge.

>If your character is interesting enough how they settle conflict is unimportant
I can understand disagreeing with my stances but this is obviously not true, as commercial success often depends on how they settle conflict more. Of course commercial success doesn't always correlate to doing what's best in terms of stories or characters.

I think the much milder shounen of today made people forget that edgy content was pretty common during the time of the dm manga. FMA is a shounen and it goes into mass human sacrifice and body mutilation.

Did you like his cards?

I SEE A WORLD YOU CAN'T

I don't even like him.

Card games are just stand ins for regular shounen fights, except where all the power level wanking still has to obey certain rules of dueling as a ritual. The format by itself doesnt dictate how well or not the character and story elements are done.
The actual problem is how vrains decided to handle the compromise of fitting in very long and wordy wombo combos to the runtime of a weekly anime. Plus arc v and vrains choosing to play it very loose when it comes why card games are necessary when previously magic handled all of that by determining they're law-bound rituals. Duels are also a friendlier method of fights when it comes to practicality of year round and weekly anime production.

As long as the gimmick isnt insanely resource taxing like what it would've been like planning out full action duels where now the characters' physical positions and movements become notable factors. Which trickles down to having to plan out and design the entire action field and all the specific spaces the characters and monsters move to, and for storyboarders and writers having to factor that in as well with action card pick ups. Must've been a headache for the layout and background artists.

I never concluded that the format itself dictated everything. Only that it does in fact restrict the variety of interactions severely. People critique the types and qualities of battles in battle shonen all the time. Constricting everything to a certain battle ritual does artificially narrow the scope of the story.

What is this

Den shitty

Only as much as a sports manga/anime, some of which are great because their authors were great. They're still face to face when 'battling' so I dont buy your arbitrary claims

>arbitrary
I don't think you know what that means.

Y2K. Just another reference to Western media. God, I love this franchise.

You fail to bring up any compelling reasons for your argument besides I said so, which definitely feels like you're saying basically nothing

Thanks, bro. I really needed it.

*Ahem* Train sex.

Just what is this all about? A vision of Lightning's wish Ai had? Is Yusaku losing the duel? How would they insert those shots in the middle of such and engaging duel?

Several shounen also powercreeped much faster and more severely than DM did with their systems. Maybe also even when taking both DM & GX into account. The method of fighting is simply a tool that can be handled badly or well, depending on who's behind it. Like when hikokubo decides to be a senile old fart that day with card effects

It narrows the scope of the story, but no the characters. I don't give a shit about the plot half the time. That's why I watch slice of life shit too.

You're right. Oh well, I blame it on my bad memory but it really hurts to see the many interesting ways they could have gone and are lost forever due to the sudden end of Vrains.

>Only as much as a sports manga/anime
Not so. The types of cards being advertised are much more controlled and predetermined as compared the types of sports elements that you might see. While sports anime only has to deal with a largely unmoving rule set if at that, the card game's rules constantly shift with each card restricting and unlimiting many elements all within the limited scope of that card game.

Prolly Lightning's simulation followed up by Ai's showed him exactly in what would everything end.

That's external executive interest to the game format itself though. Commercial interests affect shounen all the time, and it's also what made some series go on longer than they should have or pushed characters that werent meant to be as prominent for better or worse because of popularity ploys or for merchandising even if it's not in the form of cardboard. And how do rules constantly shift within each series? Between them maybe, but the rules themselves usually dont change in major ways during the run. Each series is fairly standalone

They can't even handle the ones they already have.

Find it kinda humorous on how Shepherd didn't have a Link-4 monster

The cards rewrite the rules of the game, constantly limiting and expanding what can be played. Resource systems are flexible and just depend on the text of cards. I think it's much more controlled than sports really ever could be.

That's just a classroom.

Aoi and Go won with link 4s.

Did you skip their duels against Ai or something?

I dont see why that's that different when both still operate on some agreed upon pre set rules. And sports stories still tend to have characters with some kind of power or skillset they can put into play to expand or contract what someone on the field can do unless realism is a very specific goal.
If you want to argue theres more commercial executive involvement with characters and how they're placed in story because of the card game in real life that's fine, but that treatment is separate from the concept itself.

No.

What was the biggest asspull in Vrains so far?

Neo Storm Access' 2nd activation.

It wasn't really that powerful and it had already gotten negated by Go.

Unless the plot is so crazy or fever dream-like that it's entertaining on its own, it's hard to care about events that happens to characters you dont care about in the first place. Which is why my feelings toward any arc v versions of the legacy characters and whatever they did are cold apathy.

O MY SECOND ACTIVATION

>I dont see why that's that different when both still operate on some agreed upon pre set rules.
Because plays in sports don't typically make the rules more complicated.
>and sports stories still tend to have characters with some kind of power or skillset they can put into play to expand or contract what someone on the field
Those are soft limitations that can be overcome with wit or strategy. A yugioh player needs to have a card to say what they can or can't do.

>DSOD world before Zexal
Man all the signs keep pointing towards more DM anime. It might actually happen.

So if Zexal were added it'd mean more Zexal anime? I hope you realise how ridiculous you sound.

Should I continue watching Zexal or catch up to Vrains since its almost over?

Approach to deck building and stuff like setting up graveyard plays for later is still strategy, even if the anime plays that part quite fast and loose with topdecking with its approach

You should kill yourself.

>not saving that option behind the emergency glass for a dire situation, even tho all the merch and games are selling
That's very stupid so there is a chance

Catch up now for the threads. Zexal will still be there after

Continue watching them all!

After vrains ends where are we gonna go? this is pretty much the only thread on Yea Forums I come to

Also, how far ahead of the future is 5D's from DM like 30 years? GX was 10 right? It can't be that far if Trudge was still alive

Go back to the board you originally came from until next year.

I'm gonna compile a personal best duels list for each series and work my way through that. And watch other anime

It's just feels more limited, like it's not really a matter of instinct or reflexes and possibly more just down to card saying the convenient thing.

When are they going to use his weapon?

Well yeah, when the duel writing is sloppy that day thats what it feels like compared to a manga author of some other sports or shounen series who has a great handle on what they're doing. But when you take the whole package of duels in a visual medium like anime I also enjoy the variety of monsters and set pieces as well, which are a lot easier to change up due to ease of showing new designs afforded to it by the base starting concept of magician summoners manifesting their magical powers through duel monsters.

I wish OCG strategies had been drawn by the same artist that did Zexal and ArcV.

Attached: Dark Kuroda.png (512x256, 146K)

>Well yeah, when the duel writing is sloppy
Or just when they draw or play a never before seen card.

I wish it was a manga about any anime or an addition to another manga so I could be able to read it.

That by itself like new fodder monsters isnt as stressful on suspension of disbelief when not all 40 cards will be shown in a duel

Yea Forums has been my homeboard for years, and after lurking both /dlg/ and /dng/, even the worst of vr/a/ins can't compare. I'll just work through my anime backlog and read a book or something.

Anyway, 5D's timeline isn't stated but I think someone worked out that Ushio could be 40+ or so, taking into account Zero Reverse, how fast tech can progress with an energy source like Momentum etc.

>Yea Forums resident
What a rare sight.

God no. You could easily u-board with guardragon shit and him

I guess if it's perfectly in line with an archetype or skill, but then there's stuff like borrelsword or gouki poison mist or fusion of fire

If the pros vs cons of the yugioh premise isnt worth it to you nothing is stopping you from not wasting time on this franchise and enjoying other shounen

It's just a singular aspect.

Why do I get the sneaking suspicion they'll just copy deku from bnha out of desperation to strike a chord with kids, just because it's popular both in japan and internationally

Are you just talking about personality? vrains already kind of did super heroes.

Ai is so damn bot.

Cute.

Yeah, personality and behavior

I've only seen S1 of BnHA, but Deku's traits kinda just boils down to
>underdog
>determination
>protect my friends
Those are all common shonen traits (and in line with WSJ's three pillars of Friendship, Effort, Victory). In fact I'd say YGO protags all have shades of those already. Implying they'll copy something inherent to shonen is kinda ridiculous.

I suppose he is a bot. Perhaps not extremely a bot though.

Do you never like reading previous posts or something? What do you have against reading the thread?

Mostly I just dont want a mc who makes it a point to whine or sob just because that's the only way a hack could think of to make a character seem "relatable". Unless they're like that baccano character who sheds tears of fear but is an actual madman beyond the first impression
I dont even mind the very overused genki dumb mc stereotype compared to that and before being accused of edginess I dont care about a yugioh MC being edgy for edge's sake either.

If there's something wrong, it's that they listened to the viewers about arc-v when it made money anyway.

If something like that happens it would have been regardless of vrains. Sticking a big 20 to next everything is the perfect way to bait people.

Another crossover movie would be good but I expect them to leave out V-rains since it's still new.

>since it's still new
It's almost over.

Genuinely, what are the odds of another crossover movie? We got BBT for the 10th. This is the 20th, there's gotta be another one coming right?

I really doubt another crossover movie will ever happen when everything is self-contained now, on top of how VRAINS era isn't really backwards compatible for obvious reasons.

Dbh it would be awkward for me as a viewing experience if there was a crossover movie with yuya in it. I'd just be thinking about the darker mark arc v left on the anime part of the franchise apparently as far as the staff/producers themselves. And if he was conspicuously left out well that would be funny but still pretty awkward

One of the best duels in all of yugioh imo

blog.livedoor.jp/maxut/archives/53804874.html
Nips apparently were able to dicern most of The Arrival's text. Things of note are that it can only place 1 counter on itself (RIP 6 counters sekrit effect), its 5th effect which allows it to make an opponent's monster unaffected by the opponent's effects for the turn by taking away a counter (RIP Darkfluid), and finally that the @Ignister Token has to be Linked to it.

But my weapon?

Guess when getting buffed by Judgment Arrows after baiting Darkfluid.

Good to know that Vrains continues to be a complete disappointment of a show

How the fuck is that a dissapointment?

no negation, just an annoying beatstick

As long as it can take down borrelsword It's all good.

Any announcements on what will happen after vrains ends? I still can't think of any reason why to cut it short other than to fix production issues. It was still very popular and had a lot of material to keep the seam going.

That they don't like vrains doesn't change the fact that it is followed and liked by lots of actual productive people, like quickdraw.

just because it's followed or has fanart of it doesn't mean it's popular just check how low the ratings for vrains is even in the card game the vrains era is not well liked

So why didn't pegasus just buy the duel disk?

the card game will always sell regardless of how bad the era is the vrains era brought ftks/loops back to the game and that means it hurt the health of the game and people complained about firewall for almost 2 years so it's obviously that this era won't be remembered well

But they were already business partners.

>back
FTKs and loops never really leave, for better or worse. Also fuck link monsters for making my ED even tighter than it was before.

Holy shit this. Why do vrainstards think the anime being good/bad will have any major effect on the card game after DM

there was no relevant ftk before links were introduced though they were brought back to relevancy by firewall and other link monsters

>just because it's followed or has fanart of it doesn't mean it's popular
That's a pretty stupid way of thinking. If people are into a show enough to draw or follow then it's obviously well liked. You've clearly never suffered through trying to find decent fanart for unpopular shows.

>If people are into a show enough to draw or follow then it's obviously well liked
by that logic arc-v is a good show then

>even in the card game the vrains era is not well liked
Does that have anything to do with vrains or just MR4?

No era is remembered well when you are a meta player, newfag.

Wasn't there an Igknight FTK that got errata'd or something?

None. It's his oppinion , and the guy clearly has never been to a local.

It clearly had fans, even if a lot of people got angry at it.

it has to do with both because people complained about firewall needing to be banned but shueisha kept that from happening because it's the ace monster

And they also had DAD, Frog ftk and Dino Rabbit and Fucking Dragon Rulers. Yet I remember them as great because I wasn't into the meta yet.

Can I just not like Vrains because... it's bad? Do I have to be labeled a nostalgiafag or spic?

Are there more images of these duel disk keychains?

Anyway, my favourite MC duel disk are probably from DM battle city and Vrains. Aside from that, Haou, Rio and Mizael also had pretty funky designs.

It's okay to have your opinion, user. But why go full retard and try to claim no one likes it on a fucking Vrains thread on a fucking Sunday?

Attached: 1567000007099.jpg (1280x4039, 465K)

Not me, tho

yugioh is just a very good selling trading card user

I wonder how they attract new players, taking into consideration how the game only gets more complicated. Guess that's why Duel links and speed duels exist. Nowadays yugioh feels like 6D chess and I play the meta to attest.

Both I guess. Lots of children still play it with fake cards here in my third world shithole country. Eventually they will grow up and earn enough money to get into the real stuff just as I did.

>I wonder how they attract new players
duel links is the first step for new players after that they can get into speed dueling and if they gain enough interest they will play the tcg after that

>"A-Arc-V might be bad b-but at least it's better than Vrains!"
>"V-Vrains might be bad b-but at least it's better than Arc-V!"
It's both funny and sad. Imagine competing for the spot of the second worst series

Never been to a local? The owners seem to have been instructed to get newcomers (mostly children) into speed duels. Still, you are only thinking of the metagame newcomers play among themselves and have lots of fun that way.

The capital city of retarded that sucks dick for a drawing for free

I've always seen Arc-V as taking you to high hypes and low lows, while Vrains is just steadily bland. Make what you will with that. Some prefer the story not fucking up, even if it doesn't do anything interesting, while others happily take the good with the bad

This is the ultimate redpill. Based, brother.

Arc-V spent 3 years trying to be bold, flew high and flopped on its face in the end
Vrains spent 2.5 years playing ultra safe and repetitive as to not offend
Truly is it better to watch someone go to the extreme even if it doesn't work out in the end or someone do the safe tried and tested method that doesn't elicit as much emotion

This.

People take it too far. Like when people amped themselves up about Ultra Instinct. Then it did worse in tv ratings because it wasn't airing alongside one piece.

Imagine if DM had taken the Pokemon route. Just Yugi travelling around region to region, Kaiba, Jou etc have all fucked off elsewhere. He keeps Dark Magician and somehow sticks it in every deck he plays. Do you think it would be better or worse?

What a chad.

How does anyone know exactly how popular it was? The only publicly available metric are the nico airings, which are down from arc v but were never numerous in the first place since it's basically only the most dedicated fans who want to rewatch

Measuring it by the ammount fanart seems appropiate.

Worse. I think ultimately yugioh decided on a healthier approach for itself with distinct standalone series each cycle to press a refresh button instead of resorting to basically revamping yugi's personality with each installation at some point.
If someone wants a really long series with the same mc, one piece is over there >>>

Is one piece still running??

I'm tired of old hags. Show me Tsukiko.

...

Is that why takegami quit after XY?

In general a good indicator is people talking about it online and fanwork. Words related to Vrains has reached nip twitter trending topics multiple times. There's a constant amount of fanwork at a daily rate. Even if you have numbers (eg from pixiv) it's inaccurate because the fanbase is fragmented and nips now favor twitter. And anyway, reading their post, I don't think that user is saying in comparison to other series, just that it is.

A lot of people quit after XY.

I dont get why some refuse to understand this. Not even its own fans respected walking dead by later seasons because it way overstayed its welcome. Everything has a certain prime lifespan.
Pokemon and the brand power of satoshi&pikachu get away with it because pokemon by itself as a concept is god tier enough to have rocketed fast to the top and stay there, so theres a lot it can get away with. Despite the outrage over swsh we all know it will sell gajillions of copies. And they press reset a few times on the 2 main characters anyway because even they cant sustain not going through a revamp.

They didn't do anything with her really.

This is just Pixiv because Twitter won't give you numbers unless you fork over mucho dinero.

NICE

Yeah it's kind of weird how even the people who hate Ash seem to be against the idea of a new MC.

These numbers don't seem right, if you just search vrains in the search bar, you get 6000.

Is Kaiba the most popular character in the franchise? If so fucking why?

More like why not?

Vegeta syndrome.

I just copied what it said on the encyclopedia article, which just aggregates from a single specific tag (i.e. 遊戯王VRAINS).

That makes sense for GX. 5DS, ZEXAL, ARC-V, and VRAINS, however, are unique enough where it will only direct to those series. Plus these comparisons have problems with how that older series have had longer to acquire more fan art and varying times of centralization. Though maybe you already know that.

He's a dumb jobber.

His brand power became quite powerful due to simply being around for so long but those early decisions that snowballed him there also closed certain doors. Or made them much more difficult to access afterwards. Maybe for commercial success it works quite well to stretch out one face main character to the point of near zombie and then hollow them out again, but as a viewer it's just more spicy imo to see a straightforwardly new mc and world.

But measuring by total amount would give older series a bias just due to being older and accumulating more fanart.
You would need to normalize the metric somehow to make it time invariant. Such as average fanart / per year or maybe even max fanart / year as an average might bias newer series.

Passion inspires passion

what a cute jobber

Define "sequel". I am not against a new series in the universe.
Just not a straight continuation with the old cast at its center.
Their story is over.

Wait wait wait. I took a peek a few months ago and was informed that this was only some meme league.
Not the real thing.

the leagues aren't like the games anyway.

It is real, shonenfags are trying to tell you otherwise. In story purposes it completely counts.

You jinxed it. You have to really work at meme magic to make it happen

>Like 3 Pokemon threads currently up
>You still take it here anyway

Vrains is truly dead huh
Good, Arc-V was always better.

Trying to measure the amount of fanart through tags is kinda dumb. Most of them don't even mention vrains or such just a little commentary. You know there's a lot around, period.

Depends what you mean by meme league. I've only played the game but the league in there (and presumably in the anime) is a new one, so I guess people don't see it as legit.
Anyway, you can read more here.

It'd be difficult to account for all the relevant factors. Even if you just counted what as posted during its run, that wouldn't be very useful until 5D's, since Pixiv wasn't a thing until '07. Apparently there was a big controversy on Pixiv in '11, so that'd also affect ZEXAL's numbers.

Still here, faggot? How about you get a fucking life or something productive to do with your miserable life?

Was it that long ago? Feels like there was another more recent one with the founder or some other higher up staff. I remember long twitter threads with screenshots of some kind of proof, but I can't read for shit so I ignored it.

In the previous series, the league was always an end goal. That's why Ash and co. would go around getting gym badges. The region in SM had neither gyms nor a league, but they just decided to hold one.

Don't pretend you can't understand what I just said. VRAINS wasted 3 years for nothing.

I like yugi/atem but I'd still get tired of seeing their faces at some point like with goku. Despite attempts at variety with small style changes there's no getting around having to make satoshi always look like satoshi. Yugioh's advantage is the sheer variety in casts, monsters, settings (despite the near future crutch) across multiple series.
