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…
Austin Price
>Ai and Roboppy Only thing worth looking forward to
Ethan Rodriguez
I knew it. Yusaku won't lose until much further on down the track.
Dominic Ross
The plot device is at stake. Obviously he's not gonna lose.
Cooper Lee
Who cares? Losing never made you a better character or did you forget about Yuya already?
Ian Wilson
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.
Hudson Morgan
Roboppy will achieve self-awareness thanks to Ai and will become the Final Boss.
Andrew Ramirez
Yusaku is boring because he doesn't interact with enough characters often enough.
Bentley Thomas
He's boring because of that too. At no point has he ever shown to care about his wins.
Evan Perez
>mfw Akira losing Will Yusaku be dragged into another duel with Blue Angel?
Gavin Morales
depends on how hard he takes akira down
Brayden Bell
>performing multiple Link Summons in a row Doesn't he usually do that? He did like four in one turn against Go.
Lincoln Martin
They don't have anything else to write in the description.
Charles Rogers
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).
Jackson Richardson
>Implying he didn't print another Firewall and won't be looping them
William Gomez
the only legacy character that would make sense in this show.
Adrian Brooks
Episode was full of quality
Lincoln Rodriguez
How would he even begin to make sense?
Carson Diaz
just his name
Caleb Morales
HA! Akirafags BTFO. Based Autist wins again
Luis Thompson
When does the real spergout begin?
David Diaz
What was his problem?
Isaiah Gray
Bump
Isaac Cruz
Astral vs Ignis fight to the death, who comes out alive?
Jose Harris
>DARKNESS
Adrian Murphy
Did you say Darkness?
Justin Nelson
KOKORO NO YAMI
Jack Sullivan
>mfw Fubuki and Sawatari didn't win a single on-screen full-time duel on their own
Samuel Davis
...
Jaxon Thomas
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.
Camden Parker
I think Ushio from 5ds was just as bad
Aaron Rogers
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.
Christian Bennett
Arc-V's version of Edo also had a pretty bad record
Christian Lee
...
Anthony Anderson
there's a 70 episode gap before he has a duel again.
Austin Brown
Shitty design and boring personality.
Colton Allen
Cute
Justin Morales
thats pretty simple coloring for a playmaker outfit
Evan Powell
>Akira loses
Isaac Gray
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
Evan Allen
Autistic vengeance comes first
Hunter Turner
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.
Ian Lopez
Also she wants the victory over playmaker
Noah Flores

>Pendulink Magician >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.
Andrew Reyes
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.
Lucas Lewis
I think the card's good without the pendulum summon effect.
Dylan Sullivan
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.
Xavier Watson
Astral.
Mason Reyes
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
Aiden Stewart
So when does the barrage of monster zone effects that aren't necessarily link related begin?
Isaiah Thompson
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.
Yusaku might get Akira killed?
Austin Bell
Delete The E-Mails!
William Murphy
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?
Luke Mitchell
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.
Sebastian Bailey
It's just a children card game, bro.
Carter Long
Card game commercial*
Your knuckle dragging is forgiven, though.
Owen Flores
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.
Jordan Sanders
>autistic anger Doesn't he have the brain damage from the incident?
Sebastian Jenkins
Yes, the high school prodigy hacker is secretly mentally retarded
Nathan Thomas
Summon chants when?!
Jayden Garcia
Akira will pay for being filthy a traitor
William Rivera
Yusaku will do something he regets if he doesn't learn to control his anger.
Jace Bailey
>tfw edgy yusaku darkness mode vs everyone arc Please happen.
Wyatt Williams
Do you even know what autism is user
Jose Nelson
I am legit looking forward to when that happens. Why the fuck are you watching ygo if you don't like edgy shit?
William Johnson
What's he going to do, delete Akira's link vrains account? How scary
Owen Ross
>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.
Sebastian Thomas
>That goddamn yellow, red and magenta/pink hair color combination
Owen Jackson
Yuya going Zarc got old towards the end of Synchro. And then gargoyle mode was hilarious and painful to look at
Evan Lopez
>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?
Joseph Collins
>Aoi Probably not, since she was with her biological mom when she remarried, and was with Akira 10 years ago when their parents died
Christopher Sanchez
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.
Cameron Lee
She could have still been kidnapped for the experiment and returned to her mom afterwards you know, and then met Akira
Joshua Rodriguez
>Yuya preaches on about EGAO >Still goes Zarc/gets pissed off anyways
Jackson Anderson
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.
Jaxson Hernandez
I hope Yusaku becomes the embodiment of destruction.
Jack Adams
That happen with a certain tomato and look what happened
Nathaniel Hall
>The Zarc duel was essentially 4-5 episodes of the Lancers and the other characters jobbing until the deus ex machina (Ray/Reira) arrived
Ian Hughes

Benjamin Brooks

Jaxon Davis

Connor Richardson
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
Nicholas Stewart
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
Nicholas Jenkins
>This guy told Yuya(the protag) to win >Yuya also crying like a bitch
Lucas Edwards
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
Ayden Long
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
Zachary James
>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
Hunter Powell
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.
Michael Gomez
>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?
Caleb Martinez
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
Parker King
he will publish photoshopped gay porn on every major internet site
Sebastian Wood
Edo is just stupid sometimes.
Angel Hernandez
>We need this duel to go on for four more episodes
Landon King
What do you even call Yusaku's deck other than cyberse type? It doesn't seem like its all hacking based necessarily.
Robert Turner
it's computer based, coding, hacking, programs and all that shit, I get early 2000's vibes from it
Brody Hernandez
...
Landon Sanchez
...
Benjamin Garcia
Is it wrong that I'm getting sonic the hedgehog vibes off Yusaku?
