Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS

Episode 20: ゆずれない正義 – Yuzurenai Seigi
(Unyielding Justice)
Akira manages to drive Playmaker into a corner. However, Playmaker fights back with everything he got, performing multiple Link Summons in a row in order to turn the battle around. Akira and Playmaker then proceed to duke it out with their ace monsters.

Episode 21: 新たな闘いの火種 – Aratana Tatakai no Hidane
(A New Battle Begins)
Yusaku and Kusanagi analyze SOL Technologies’s data, and discover some new information about the incident ten years ago. Meanwhile, at Yusaku’s house, Ai and Roboppy are secretly plotting something…

>Ai and Roboppy
Only thing worth looking forward to

I knew it. Yusaku won't lose until much further on down the track.

The plot device is at stake. Obviously he's not gonna lose.

Who cares? Losing never made you a better character or did you forget about Yuya already?

True, but any duel with Yusaku inherently loses entertainment value because he clearly is going to win and that win probably will have no value to him. He's almost as insufferable as Yuya right now.

Roboppy will achieve self-awareness thanks to Ai and will become the Final Boss.

Yusaku is boring because he doesn't interact with enough characters often enough.

He's boring because of that too. At no point has he ever shown to care about his wins.

>mfw Akira losing
Will Yusaku be dragged into another duel with Blue Angel?

depends on how hard he takes akira down

>performing multiple Link Summons in a row
Doesn't he usually do that? He did like four in one turn against Go.

They don't have anything else to write in the description.

Firewall's already out on the field, so what could he be trying to pull out? It's not a Speed Duel, so he can't perform Storm Access. He CAN use all of his Link Monsters now though instead of just 5 (if anime rules care at all about that).

>Implying he didn't print another Firewall and won't be looping them

the only legacy character that would make sense in this show.

Episode was full of quality

How would he even begin to make sense?

just his name

HA! Akirafags BTFO. Based Autist wins again

When does the real spergout begin?

What was his problem?

Bump

Astral vs Ignis fight to the death, who comes out alive?

>DARKNESS

Did you say Darkness?

KOKORO NO YAMI

>mfw Fubuki and Sawatari didn't win a single on-screen full-time duel on their own

...

Their records are both pretty bad. Now I haven't seen Arc-V but i'm gonna guess Sawatari's role was much more well defined than Fubuki's. It just seems like he had more time to be apart of the story.

I think Ushio from 5ds was just as bad

yeah but that was the point of his character, to be an absolute loser, these other charcters records usually stem from the writers having either a bad or no plan for them.

Arc-V's version of Edo also had a pretty bad record

...

there's a 70 episode gap before he has a duel again.

Shitty design and boring personality.

Cute

thats pretty simple coloring for a playmaker outfit

>Akira loses

There's nothing better than beating the brother of the girl you like in a childrens card game to win her heart. Way to go Yusaku

Autistic vengeance comes first

It's either a guy who protected and raised her for a decade or a guy who saved her from being a permanent vegetable due to a virus coma.

It's not going well either way.

Also she wants the victory over playmaker

>Arrows: Lower Left, Down, Lower Right
>ATK 2500 LINK-3 DARK Spellcaster-type Link Effect Monster
>Material: 2+ DARK Spellcaster-type Pendulum Monsters
>You can only use each effect of this card's name once per turn. If you Pendulum Summon: Destroy cards on your opponent's field equal to the number of monsters you Pendulum Summon to this card's Link Markers. If a card(s) in your Pendulum Zone(s) would be destroyed: You can Special Summon them to a Monster Zone(s) this card points to. If this card is sent to the GY, target 2 face-up Pendulum Monsters in your Extra Deck: Add them to your hand.

So the AI is evil?

If he lost here we would be wasting too much time in terms of plot. We have to know what's in the database to move forward.

I think the card's good without the pendulum summon effect.

If a card(s) in your Pendulum Zone(s) would be destroyed: You can Special Summon them to a Monster Zone(s) this card points to.
>replacement effect written with a trigger
Automatic fail.

Nitpicking aside, material requirements are too restrictive to support Pendulums, which all suck now. It's too slow and doesn't protect itself since you likely would Pendulum Summon, then Link Summon this. Replacement effect for cards in Pendulum Zones directly hinders with blasting effect and/or grave effect. Solid 4/10 Konami would make this.

Astral.

He's boring but "almost as bad as Yuya" is leagues of exaggeration. Winning all the time is probably lower on the list of what made Yuya unbearable in the 2nd half

So when does the barrage of monster zone effects that aren't necessarily link related begin?

Yusaku might get Akira killed?

Delete The E-Mails!

This seems like a strange priority to judge a Yugioh MC out of literally anything else you could criticize. What is he supposed to do? Gloat smugly at his opponent after every duel?

In such simple terms, no. But he shows no concern for winning at all regardless of the situation, as though losing is simply a slightly less desirable outcome.

It's just a children card game, bro.

Card game commercial*

Your knuckle dragging is forgiven, though.

He rarely shows much of anything besides autistic anger and telling Ai to shut up, though. And you still don't bother describing what an ideal reaction would be.

>autistic anger
Doesn't he have the brain damage from the incident?

Yes, the high school prodigy hacker is secretly mentally retarded

Summon chants when?!

Akira will pay for being filthy a traitor

Yusaku will do something he regets if he doesn't learn to control his anger.

>tfw edgy yusaku darkness mode vs everyone arc
Please happen.

Do you even know what autism is user

I am legit looking forward to when that happens. Why the fuck are you watching ygo if you don't like edgy shit?

What's he going to do, delete Akira's link vrains account? How scary

>Why the fuck are you watching ygo if you don't like edgy shit?
The only edgy shit i liked in ARC-V was Joeri. Whenever Yuya would go full edge i would just roll my yes.

>That goddamn yellow, red and magenta/pink hair color combination

Yuya going Zarc got old towards the end of Synchro.
And then gargoyle mode was hilarious and painful to look at

>A New Battle Begins
>discover some new information about the incident ten years ago
New characters soon? Maybe those other 5(Maybe 2, assuming Aoi, Go and Revolver are 3 of them) kids that were with Yusaku?

>Aoi
Probably not, since she was with her biological mom when she remarried, and was with Akira 10 years ago when their parents died

There's a difference between the kinda corny but still amusing kind of Yugioh edge (like in the first volumes of DM) and the shit that anons come up with that kind of hurts to even read.

She could have still been kidnapped for the experiment and returned to her mom afterwards you know, and then met Akira

>Yuya preaches on about EGAO
>Still goes Zarc/gets pissed off anyways

It can be fun as long as you don't take it seriously. Like that matrix theory from early Arc-V that was based off the Space Jews' flavor text.

I hope Yusaku becomes the embodiment of destruction.

That happen with a certain tomato and look what happened

>The Zarc duel was essentially 4-5 episodes of the Lancers and the other characters jobbing until the deus ex machina (Ray/Reira) arrived

...

...

...

I never watched Arc V, what's the context to this happening to the protag? Because I find it pretty damn funny that someone went so far on the edge-o-meter they became a villain

That's convoluted and retarded since it's just a 1 year span between Aoi first meeting Akira and her parents dying (not to mention that Akira doesn't bother to mention it), but if they shoehorn it in anyway I wouldn't be surprised

>This guy told Yuya(the protag) to win
>Yuya also crying like a bitch

MC had the main villain inside him all along as another personality. Villain managed to come forth completely after MC fused with his other 3 counterparts. The result was that hideous gargoyle

The Zarc duel is actually a misunderstood mini tourney arc. A competition to see who could come the closest to beating Zarc and still job

>Literally such a bitch that you let the villain take control over you after you finally fused yourself back together
That's hysterical, I think Yuya might be literally the weakest willed protagonist in the franchise

To be fair, one of his counterparts actively wanted it to happen, and the main villain was fueled by an enormous amount of butthurt.
Although in the end since it was Reira who saved the day, it did make Yuya look like a weak little bitch.

>Edo uses Dystopia Guy's effect to destroy to destroy a Darkwurm (which is also a Pendulum monster) instead of destroying one of Zarc's Scales (the cards that help him nullify damage and regain his life points)
What the hell was going on in Edo's head?

well, when you have 3 duels vs Yusei "Jesus" Fudo you are not expected to have a good record, and his duel with Aki was a school test so he held back a bit, he didn't even use Goyo in that duel

he will publish photoshopped gay porn on every major internet site

Edo is just stupid sometimes.

>We need this duel to go on for four more episodes

What do you even call Yusaku's deck other than cyberse type? It doesn't seem like its all hacking based necessarily.

it's computer based, coding, hacking, programs and all that shit, I get early 2000's vibes from it

...

...

Is it wrong that I'm getting sonic the hedgehog vibes off Yusaku?

>Yusaku and his stand Random Access Memories

Unpopular opinion, but I liked Sawatari.
