Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS

Aoi on the front page

What went so wrong?

Her brother didn't give her the D.

>Parents dead
>Woman behind Aoi looks a lot like her but older
explain that Yoshida

Obviously that's her sister, since she marries Akira to make him Aoi's brother in-law.

Firewall Duraggun when?

Wait for Yusaku V. Revolver

Puberty fail. Shit happens.

>uses her hair style from as a kid for her alter ego
What did she mean by this?

She's trying to preserve an image of innocence, so she goes to when she was a child. Of course her screaming bloody murder live on national TV can't have done very much for that image.

>tries to draw firewall because its design is great
>can't because I'm absolute shit at mechs
Fuck me

Haven't watched Vrains yet since Arc-V is so long but this sounds a little dark for Yu-Gi-Oh...

lmao when you actually watch it it's nowhere near as extreme as dumb edgefags on Sup Forums describe it. DM remains the most 'extreme' in terms of the kind of content it showed on television

>1 episode in and someone starts burning people to death
>3 episode in and the protag's AI eats someone after he tries to allahu akbar them
>7 episodes in and the main female falls into a coma from being possessed
The fun has already begun user-kun

At first i thought it looked absolutely rubbish but Firewall Dragon really grew on me over time.

ITT: cool cards with shit effects

They nerfed her effect for no goddamn reason

i guess we can say Aoi's shape has been snatched.

the aces girl cyberse monster seem underwhelming

>aces girl cyberse monster
What?

this one

Same here. Doesn't hurt that it has a pretty good effect too.

Level abuse would have made her a presence in synchro masturbation decks.

Why not, lets necro with my OTP

>innocent
then why mess with the bust slider eh?

Incorrect. Backup Secretary is pretty tops.

I expected this after how fucked up Zexal turned out to be in hindsight. Yoshida is a blessing.

how the shid am i supposed to synchron under links?

You dont

maybe it needs a hat.

Damn you playmaker for turning this into a vegetal.

Because god forbid Synchros be good.

What the fuck is this

>Playmaker put Aoi into a coma

Konami pretty decided XYZ was the only summoning allowed to be good, and now they're dropping it for Links. Watch Zoodiacs get fucked hard to make way for Links.

Yugioh has always been dark, people just forget because localizations suck

>Zoos gimmick is maintaining its xyz upkeep with a single monster at a time
>Links make it so you can only use 1 ED at a time
Goddamnit user actually play the game first

Ema archetype.

Ema's true Lamia form for cuddling

? XYZ were always tech cards except the obvious ones like Dante, the Zodiacs, the Performalpal ones, etc. They gona stay the same unless they start the powercreep.

Zoodiacs have been pretty well obliterated in the OCG banlist though, so it's likely they'll be hit like that over here. Which is a good thing, because Zoo's at their heart are poorly designed.

Cuuuute.

Why did they put in so much aesthetic crap when Blue Angel was about to lose? Couldn't they have cut the bits of her falling and crying and made the duel longer instead
I know it's all a metaphor for some boring plot stuff but there's no point for it all when she's going to have so little role in the show

It's not like the duel itself was particularly exciting. Blue Angel does the usual Trickstar burning (although not well enough to FTK when she could've), Yusaku gets saved by ridiculously situational cards that he was lucky to draw, and again relies on the completely random card he gets from Storm Access. Homestly don't know why anyone wants more dueling when so far it's the weakest part of the show.

There's no point of having these threads if we're not getting content till the 5th,

Also Yusaku put his waifu in a coma.

I disagree, Aoi Vs Yusaku is so far the best duel of VRAINS and miles better than the last duels of ARC-V. It was good

Then they should stop the pointless character bants and make the duels better, its obvious the plot is going to be rubbish anyway
We need duels every episode like in Arc V, which is what we're here to see, not people talking

this, VRAINS is the only anime worth watching tight now and it sucks we'll have to wait two weeks

>We need duels every episode like in Arc V, which is what we're here to see
Fuck off, forcing random ass duels every episode is how we got shit like Captain Solo.

Agreed, it wasn't bad when comparing it to the stuff we've been getting recently. I'd be completely fine if they have a duel every 2 episodes or something, because the story has potential to be the best one since 5Ds season 1. THey need to start focusing on the characters more.

>We need duels every episode like in Arc V, which is what we're here to see, not people talking
Quality > quantity. ArcV's second half has some absolutely garbage duels. How do you defend the Zarc duels?

She lost the twin tails

I couldnt care less about duels, I just want SoL with my favourite autists of the season.

Zarc was fucking epic, what are you talking about?

Not getting her step brother's affection, to the point she has to get it from some autistic amnesiac who hacks for fun and smells like hot dogs.

Go watch any other anime then

Underage get out

>Aoi easily could have FTK'd but didn't because plot armor
>Yusaku gets saved by being lucky enough to draw cards that can be used during that battle phase
>Also gets saved by getting Encode Talker, something he could not have possibly predicted
Seriously, the strategy was weak, there was hardly any good banter, and the plot bit was stupid, with Yusaku magically being abIe to sense Hanoi's presence in her deck. Bonus points if Hanoi never again tries to mind control anyone even though they clearly have the capability. How was that a good duel?

No u

Of course the MC has plot armor, every other fucking MC does. They only lose to their Kaiba-type rivals, which Yusaku will when he'll first meet Revolver.

And as bullshit as the storm access thing is, its arguably the most reasonable BS the show ever had as opposed to Yusei or Judai just magically having new cards all of a sudden. At least we know where he gets the cards from.

Don't expect quality for a 22 minute animated commercial made to sell cards.

>4 episodes of random characters jobbing against Zarc and then getting OTK'd
>Zarc himself is annoying, not scary and has retardedly broken card effects
>gets beaten in the last 2 minutes by a character who appears only to beat him and then fucks off, using a bunch of stupid plot cards nobody cares about
>epic

I love Aoi

It's a similar device as the Shining Draws of Zexal; in that it justifies the asspulls by turning them into a super power.

Can someone explain me the Reira character? I legit dont understand her role at all.

>Yusaku magically being abIe to sense Hanoi's presence in her deck
We already know Yusaku isn't a normal human

Neither did Arc-V's writers.

An asspull will always be an asspull, but storm access is still better than the asspulls from the past shows.
Was it Yusaku who sensed it, or was it Ignis who sensed it but was ignored by Yusaku?

Both of them sensed it. Ignis is an AI, Yusaku has some kind of power relating to computers since earlier he was able to see Revolver from the real world.

Kek don't get me wrong, I love Aoi but seeing her getting BTFO after being so cocky felt really good. And so far it looks like everytime Yusaku is about to lose it was all just part of his Keikaku. Although I doubt he could have avoid losing so many life points.

>Biggest and strongest enemy that the entire show had been building up appears with the strongest monster ever
>Everyone tries to stop him but fails, reinforcing how badass he is
>Duel ends with inner conflicts within Zarc himself, adding depth and complexity to his character
Zarc is easily the best villain in all of Yu-Gi-Oh, even though I loved Jack from 5ds, the first series that I watched when I was 6
And then Arc V brought him back anyway to continue being awesome; Arc V does not deserve the crap people give it, it was so epic the whole way

For the love of Crow Ono, please stop posting

The way she REEEEEEEd before getting rekt made me hate her

...

MC plot armor.

Also it's in his best interest to lose life points, so he can pull more cards out of his ass.
Underage pls leave, the big boys are talking about childrens card games.

Why did she ragequit so badly like that? Was she pissed for losing? Pissed for failing in proving herself to her brother? Or was the Hanoi tech just frying her brain?

>tfw actually miss Nico Smiley
Seriously, the MC so far has been pretty mediocre.

>Or was the Hanoi tech just frying her brain?
Yep.

>>>>>ds, the first series that I watched when I was 6
>5ds aired in 2008 at the earliest
>user is 15

Then why the wing symbolism.

Hanoi was obviously frying her brain. There is a reason she is in coma

Cause it friend her brain so bad, it put her in a coma. Wings just show her loss was really bad for her.
KEK, only 7 episodes in and the designated waifu is already brain washed. I guess she's going to be written off soon, if not already.

>pic
So are we sure that the Yu-Gi-Oh writers don't just have a mind control fetish?

Aoi tried to kill Yusaku TWO times. What the fuck is wrong with that bitch. Is this really how she is? I prefer the autistic Aoi

We all do user, they are just humans like us.

It's just bad writing. Having the girl be controlled by a man is the only way to have the male MC wreck her without it being sexist or abusive.

Think about it, in every one of those mindfucks on previous lead girls, it was a man controlling them. That makes it okay, right?

>Not reptile
I hate Konami even more now.

Except Yuzu never dueled while mindfucked :^)

Is Aoi the anti-Aki? Wait
>Aki
>Aoi
>AI
>KO
What did they mean by this?

>Konami giving Reptiles love
Sure, they'll get right on that after they make a good Fish archetype.

seize

Shipperfags will get torn a new one in the last episode. Aoi and Yusaku friendzone and forget about each other.

Good. Aoi gonna die a lonely and unloved virgin.

No this will be the last scene.

And a chestlet, don't forget that one.

>aoi finally embraces yusaku in the final episode
>yusaku pushes her away and goes and makes out with hotdog guy
lmao

You are aware who writes this show, right?

Also that'll never happen in a show aimed at nip boys. Kissufags btfo

Who said a kiss, just both of them hugging and blush and then start surfing with everyone cheering.

I for one can't lose here.
>Aoi ends with Yusaku
Win
>Aoi ends alone
Win
>Aoi ends with Blue Angel
W i n

The only bad end is if she dies.

>I'M GAGAGA OVER YOU

cute bear :-DDDDDD

>Dub

>You are aware who writes this show, right?
The most Hetero writer Yoshida that's who
