Episode 120 (FINAL EPISODE): 繋がる世界 – Tsunagaru Sekai (A Connected World) Both Playmaker and Ai have come to acknowledge each other's ideals: the importance of connections to humans, and what an AI ultimately desires, respectively. The two then use everything they have left to settle their battle once and for all. Just how will their Duel conclude?
This. Most yugiohfans already left. Arc-V thread was kino, vrains thread is just shitposting general
Jason Gomez
there will not be a DM super anons, simply because duel links is getting DSOD world, it doesn't mean anything because duel links is not the main game,the tcg/ocg require modern updates every 3 years,not rebooting,so if they go the reboot route, they would be shooting themselves in the foot. and the recent Dark magician support is just part of the huge legacy support for previous Main characters so it's not as alarming as you think it is.
So they basically state that if any simple AI, like an ai from a vacuum cleaner, obtain free will, they will immediately turn against the human race?
Jayden Kelly
I've watched every VRAINS episode weekly since the day it began airing: May 10th, 2017. Hard to believe it's been over 2 years, and it's really ending.
Honestly unsure what to think of VRAINS overall. I guess it was okay.
Expectations for the final episode?
>Playmaker and AI making out as the latter fades into data once he's defeated.
Realistically?
>PM and SB arm-wrestling like the OP pic 2 threads before this one >Yusaku and Aoi autistlove once again >Takeru proposing to Kiku >Kusanagi and Jin tearfully embracing >Aoi and Miyu going out shopping or some shit >Akira and Hayami visiting Queen in the hospital after she wakes up from her coma >Go returning to pro wrestling >BS and GG teaming up and becoming cyber crimefighters in VRAINS 3.0 >Revolver somehow coming across Pandor >Living LI victims reuniting to remember the lost Ignises
I'm trying out Duel Links and the game is really different from what I remember. Not that I played all that much to begin with. PvP usually tends to consist of the opponent summoning two or three high-level monsters on the very first turn and when I do get to summon something strong, they always have something able to shut me out instantly. Most duels seems to end in the first two or three turns.
Benjamin Barnes
you cameback at the worst time because the meta is suffering from tier 0 darklords right now. >Most duels seems to end in the first two or three turns that's the point, it's on my mobile after all.if you want longer duels, you can just play the tcg/ocg
Robert Brooks
100% This one
Blake Carter
>darklords I don't even play Duel Links and I can see how broken they'd be in that format.
>Zexal, undeniably best spinoff you forgot your ":^)", sir
Mason Gray
How come no one ever came close to matching Kaiba's autism? Jack seemed promising, but he was a disappointment.
Jaxson Bennett
No.
Jace Reed
Zexal is only good by the standards of being a literal kid's show (Yugioh is usually aimed more towards teen) that actively talks down to it's viewers. Also most of its duels were mediocre at best.
Lucas Harris
>that actively talks down to it's viewers When?
Dominic Morgan
Only if you can bear through the first season. Then again people praised GX despite its equally horrendous first season. That being said Barian arc > Supreme King arc
Jack Ross
>Zexal is only good by the standards of being a literal kid's show Just like GX
Lucas Nguyen
>Only if you can bear through the first season. I wonder how many people ended up using that chart.
Samuel Watson
Pretty much the entire first season. Is full of it. I don't know if "talks down to" accurately conveys what I was trying to get across, but what I mean is that it's always truing to force morals down our throats without ever really working for them. The only good moral to come out of its first half was "don't hate on food until you try it" and it came from the goddamn vegetables episode. The rest of that part was pretty much just "duelig automatically makes you friends and it's a mortal sin to not have fun while dueling". The barian arc was a lot better, but in the end, none of the barians except for Vector was allowed to be even remotely interesting as a villain since they were all mind controlled. Nash's motivations after learning the whole truth was "I fell into hatred and became a barian because satan manipulated everyone around me into being evil so that means I have to stay evil because it was definitely my choice to become evil." GX never really tried to force black and white morals down our throats as far as I recall. The problem with S1, and to a lesser extent 2, is that GX started out with no aim whatsoever, only the premise of "genki boi goes to card game school."
Jose Brown
The least insulting thing about vrains I can say is "better luck next time"
Jaxon Young
And people praise 5ds despite its terrible second half. You better get the fuck outta here
Jace Reed
reminder that lightning will finish the series with a 100% win rate
Fuck you, the duel against the guys with nothing but shitty commons was kino
Eli Ward
It was, but that was in the second half. He was making fun of Fortune cup/Dark signers.
Parker Lopez
I would like to see PM's Link-6 and Neo Storm Access as a card. Also, Ai having a happy ending that isn't dying.
Grayson Peterson
I don't disagree that the first part was a little Saturday-morning-cartoonish, but I think you're underselling the second half. Nasch had people who depended on him, and was not going to hand over the keys to wipe out Barian World to the people who caused the whole damn mess by dogmatically pursuing Rank Up. He is a very different person than Tsukumo "I don't want to doubt anyone, let's die together, Vector" Yuma. I believe it's very well illustrated by how their duel ends: Nasch plays a card that forces them to act and understands Yuma well enough to know exactly what card he's going to Shining Draw, but loses because Yuma holds out hope that they can find another way.
Joshua Cook
pseudo 5D's fans everyone
S1 duels were so damn unmemorable besides like Kiryu, Jack and Goodwin. While the S2 you crticiize had all the good moments.
The Dark Signers arc had alot of stupid shit like all the villains being jobbers and half the duels being boring as fuck but the animation and OST salvaged it at least. Fuck everything else in the series though
Wyatt Harris
>He thinks the deaths of ugly and irritating characters was better than the greatness of the Supreme King arc Did you take all of the nip’s shit taste when I wasn’t looking?
Nathan Morris
wow look at this tryhard edge
Angel Scott
??? Being barian doesnt equal evil just because don thousand was evil, it's having intense passion or will to live in contrast to astral world's cold detachment in pursuit of enlightenment. Both had good and bad aspects like becoming the extreme end of selfishness or stagnation. Like, come on, this is spelled out
Julian Kelly
>Yugioh is usually aimed more towards teen What the fuck? Something like FMA or death note that are actually aimed at teens have way more mature elements and less censorship than any of the spin offs. Even bleach at many points had more graphic violence than they'd ever put in a yugioh anime after DM. 5ds pushed it maybe to like 12-13 year olds but come on now. Surely you've seen at least a little itty bit of one other edgy show or popular normie shounen like tokyo ghoul that's way less afraid to show blood or more mature jokes/subject matter because those are actually for teens
Logan Diaz
I dont want DM super because it would mean that Tea is the only cute girl around. I want few cute duelist girls to hang around.
Adrian King
And ironically all of that turned out to be a bigger joke and laughing stock of the nip internet than just the straightforward image of yuya riding a hippo. Fuckin' battle beast, leo, and gargoyle yuya, give me a break
Nolan Campbell
21hr until VRAINS ends
Ian Clark
Anzu gets seniority status but in my opinion all the other main yugioh girls and several recurring ones around her age are so much more eye catching it's a little ridiculous. Yes that includes a flat autist like Aoi
Brandon Wood
ahiru no soracast list soon
Liam Rogers
Clearly Vrains episode 120.5.
Colton Johnson
so, after this season end, will we get ygo7's sneak peek?
>Implying theyll even have a single promo image ready until December at earliest
Gavin Morgan
Dilate.
Austin Cruz
Yuki Kaiji said he had an annoucement to make: Yuzu Hiiragi is a bitchass nigger. She pissed on my fucking wife
Blake Parker
AV didn't have Vrains'. This time's even less probable with the later ending 6 months before than usual.
Noah Brown
What, is he going to say "no fear, you can still hear my voice every Wednesday in ahiru no sora pls tune in"
Juan Green
Hahaha jesus
Like Yuki Kaiji needs to announce he's going to voice anime characters
Angel Rodriguez
I fucking love Vrains!
Ayden Diaz
>Being barian doesnt equal evil just because don thousand was evil, it's having intense passion or will to live in contrast to astral world's cold detachment in pursuit of enlightenment. This was more or less my point. This could've made for some really interesting antagonists and good conflicts of interest, but the only barians who got to act on their own motivations were Vector and Nasch. Thinking about it, Nasch DID have an excuse. the worlds were about to annihilate each other, and someone had to become god to fix it. It was either him or astral at that point and it's not like Astral was all that trustworthy. I still don't like his path to villainy all that much, but that's probably due to how much it was just glossed over, much in the same way they expected us to believe that him and IV were actually friends because they dueled together once. I'm not entirely sure what you're on about. Just because a show isn't edgy doesn't mean it's not amed towards teens. I'm too tired to put it into words properly, so I'm not even gonna try, but it's definitely a thing you can feel when watching the shows. Zexal was made for younger kids than the rest of the spin-offs, and that's a fact. Yes, even GX.
Gavin Bell
ze al has the best uniform, fite me ! master rule !
Supreme King arc was just gay love triangle between Judai, Johan and Yubel. Judai lusting after Johan's cock so much he turns evil while his friends become useless. The only remotely good characters were Kaiser Ryo and that one nigger.
Kevin Anderson
How they handled the speed of shark becoming nasch (and the how nasch became shark backstory) was a kingdom hearts dream drop tier MESS and they really should've softened it with more foreshadowing like vaguely recognizing durbe earlier or dream sequences, something more earlier on. BUT the actual experience of the episodes of Shark reliving his past life running directly alongside Yuma in the present trying to secure Astral's future with absolutely everything he has is what I would unapologetically call kino, and I cant hate it despite the messiness of the set up.
Cooper Garcia
When they heard vrains was ending, they need to say they hated it and the next one will be better. But really it's just another feint so they can shitpost even harder when the next series airs. Don't believe them, they will not like the next one better, many of them are still hurt by arc-v even though that's what caused problems with vrains' writing in the first place.
Nolan Scott
They're not for teens (unless you count preteens) because of how nips divide shows (especially action stuff) for demographics is so utterly predictable and never stray from taking advantage of looser censorship even if it's in cheap or shock value ways. Does it really make that much difference if zexal is for 6-10 and gx is for 7-11
Tyler Gutierrez
>another fight over what demographic yugioh is aimed at when the shonen demographic is really expansive. Fuck off already it aims at ten year olds as well as sixteen year olds and probably lower and higher.
Jaxon Baker
It's true the other barians couldve been used better but mizael and Alito were still entertaining enough on screen overall I can forgive it to an extent in their cases. Not sure why gilag was ever there, really
Joseph Morris
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE AI
Gabriel Bell
>When they heard vrains was ending, they need to say they hated it They have been hating VRAINS since way before it was revealed it was ending. Also everyone predicted it was ending as soon as we got the current ED
>They have been hating VRAINS since way before it was revealed it was ending. But now they want to say "it was all bad" and the "next one will definitely be better in every way". >Also everyone predicted it was ending as soon as we got the current ED Obviously not as they only stormed in the past month or so.
Jaxson Nelson
Demak and that Narnia mini arc were trash but if a few bad eps invalidate everything around it, might as well scrub all yugioh anime from memory
Fucking nips. I bet they are still salty Roboppy killed their favourite jobbers.
Bentley Lee
This is great, everyone who looks back at it now will know not everyone hated it and it's just another thing that divides people.
Lucas Cook
that's why its need to have sneak peek, to keep the fire on , and make people discussing about
Jonathan Adams
>nico ratings matter when they fit my narrative
Jace Garcia
Honestly: Yes, the difference was enormous. Hell, GX season 4 was mostly about finding a purpose in life and coming into your own as an adult, which speaks much more to people around the age of 18 than anyone around/before the start of middle school. Also, season 3 was a lot heavier than the barian arc because Judai's friends "dying" was pretty much a direct result of his own actions, and he also ahd to deal with the guild of having coomited a full blown-genocide. All Yuma had to do was prevent two genocides from happening in the first place. The barian arc is the kind of shit I WISH I had been able to see on TV as a kid, but watching it as an adult was rather underwhelming.
Blake Johnson
>few bad eps Rudger and Rex's backstory, wtf was that? Are you implying Domino City exploding for no reason thus (possibly killing many DM characters) were good?
Luke Brooks
15% are cosplaying as Lot's wife but almost 80% said they liked it. I still think they really should've let yusaku express his thoughts more often throughout the show like he did in 119, even if it was only inside his head
Why do yugioh and pokemon staff/executive ppl get so affected or scarred by fan outrage when toei acts completely shameless and gets away with it
Luis Price
Kaiba is the most complex character in yu-gi-oh for a reason.
Gavin Baker
I really want to translate some of the fanworks I found. How do I hire a cheap translator? Same here. I was enjoying vrains more than ever and this happens.
24 hours. I had a great time watching vrains. I couldn't get sadder because it got cut short. Life is unfair.
Brandon Lopez
but i also saw some argument about GX, 5D's and Zexal
Carter Nelson
That was what, 8 eps? As a side mini arc that played like some bizarro ova? Not exactly the peak of fan investment. Sorry but arc-v pulled the biggest years-long prank in yugioh and you just cant top that
Connor Nguyen
LET'S JUST HAVE AN ENTIRE CARD GAME ANIME ABOUT DIALECTICAL MATERIISM
If someone hates 5ds gx or zexal they just plainly hate them or dropped them early because they didnt care. Betrayal is different and it cuts much deeper
>Yugioh is usually aimed more towards teen) that actively talks down to it's viewers.
So basically for kids
For real. Vrains has been disappointing since the episode 20 mark.
Carter Diaz
Good lord Vrains is ending early. That means you fujos and dicksuckers can go back to wherever circlejerk place you came from even if it's temporary. I hope it will take a long while before new season is airing.
They've probably been there ever since the original DM chapter where Jou gave Yugi back his millennium puzzle piece got published in that week's shounen jump
Jordan Rivera
Thank you very much, my dudes
David Jones
I haven't watched Arc-V, but I love how you guys treat it like GoT.
>All future ace monsters are now vanillas thanks to him
Eli Reyes
No they'll probably just have basic attack effects.
Parker Nguyen
The situation is not too dissimilar. Characters acting like retards if they werent benched for legacies, unsatisfying story payoff, felt like the ending was a loss for everyone involved. Not sure how much the "sUbVErTiNG ExpECTaTiOnS" meme applies or if tsutomu kamishiro was just a fucking retard. But the GoT actors unlike arcv VAs were able to be a little more open about their displeasure due to cultural differences.
And voltron did stuff like this too, complete with a fandom implosion and meltdown. Yugioh anime isnt on the same profile level as that or GoT but why does this keep happening?
Thomas Hughes
Reminder that despite being a mess, Yuya is still the most complex protagonist we've had yet.
Arc-V aimed for the stars with its premise and initial arc that got everyone hyped up for the future it set up. Then it squandered all that potential as it caught fire and spiraled into the ground killing everyone on board.
It's more like he maybe could have been. As total packages he doesnt hold a candle to Judai
Angel Russell
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Robert Ortiz
Spoilers for vrains II when?
Levi Miller
There's nothing complex about Judai. His arc is fairly standard.
>just want to chill with the crew in the schoolyard and not have to worry about important stuff >shit gets fucked up due to his negligence >has to learn to grow up and be responsible >gets disillusioned with acting like an adult 24/7 but gets inspired again from his idol and his mojo returns
Dylan Thomas
Thanks for reminding me of all that wasted potential
Cameron Robinson
Queen tries to extract the ignis from vrains.
Mason Harris
Okay then, ignoring that someone could reductively greentext yuya as well, elaborate on yuya before he became synchro jesus in synchro arc
