Episode 39: 闇に葬る弾丸 – Yami ni Hōmuru Dangan (The Fatal Bullets) GO Onizuka confronted Revolver and challenged him to a Duel. Meanwhile, the Tower of Hanoi is getting closer to completion…
>the big confrontation is approaching! >oh shit, we forgot to make Hanoi actually threatening! >I know, let's just make THE ENTIRE FUCKING CAST, other than Yusaku, job to Revolver and Specter so they don't feel like the worthless losers they are
Carson Reyes
How many recap episodes have we gotten now?
We could've gotten a three-way duel between Yusaku, Go and Aoi with Revolver to teach him to fucking rely on people more for once. Plus it would've added more potential for our Power Trio.
Jace Howard
>Revolver is going to actually beat someone FINALLY
Juan White
>GO Onizuka confronted Revolver Wait are they using past tense, are they giving up before it starts?
Aaron Adams
How has YGO not recovered in quality since Yuya vs. Yoko?
Nolan Barnes
Is akira out too? throw him in a cage for 3 episodes then kill him?
Lincoln Green
Did Ghost girl not count?
Dylan Thompson
Women don't count.
Chase Hill
>go vs revolver is just a small recap of what happened offscreen
Ryder Williams
4 in 38, by the end of 3 year run we will reach at least 15
Julian Watson
Ghost Girl died and was forgotten the episode right after. Meanwhile Spectre can't stop reminding Stusaku how hard he raped his waifu every goddamn 5 minutes ever since her face became one with the pavement
Dylan Phillips
>The Fatal Bullets
I hope Revolver just straight up shoots Go so we don't have to sit through another 3 episode duel with an obvious outcome
Tyler Long
You'll sit through it and like it, cattle. This is post-Smile World YGO, fan satisfaction need not apply
Logan Rogers
Is Go really any better?
Robert Brooks
Go is not even a character at this point. Nigga is not even mentioned or shown for almost 8 episodes straight and the only time he has been mentioned is to pretty much say he is gonna die
Nathaniel Powell
So Yoshida and Ono are apparently working on an upcoming anime. Probably why Yoshida doesn't give a shit about VRAINS right now.
Why didn't Specter use Aoi as the hostage? It looks too silly with Akira as the hostage. Akira doesn't have hostage qualities. Imagine if instead it was a tied-up aged Blue Angel.
Christopher Cox
caged*
Cameron Wood
Akira is also supposed to be a skilled hacker who you think would be able to get out of such situations.
Henry Hernandez
>playmaker notebook is red >revolver notebook is green shouldn't it be the other way around?
Hunter Bennett
Contrast maybe?
Caleb Smith
>recap just cancel the fucking anime,
Caleb Rivera
I'm still enjoying it, but I often wonder how takahashi allows this stuff. Is it just money?
Ethan Ramirez
Cancel Vrains, and give us an Arc-V S4 that unfucks everything that happens in the latter half of the show.
Adam Diaz
>everyone forgets about Go and because of that he is able to get to the tower first lmao
Chase Smith
I found it stupid too, they should have switched up the roles with Akira dueling Spectre first
Michael Russell
I dont think they care about the color schemes that much
Michael Cox
That looks pretty boring. Or "comfy" as Sup Forums would say
David Bailey
God dammit, not again. Why take a directing job if you can just fuck off and leave that show to the dogs and not get in any trouble for it? What kind of shitty business practice is this?
Asher Sullivan
How "comfy" would you say VRAINS is?
Dominic Williams
Yoshida is not the director though and he hasn't been that active in Vrains either, he has done the script for like 8 episodes total out of the entire show so far
Carter Young
Comfy enough to put into a coma
Blake Reyes
He wrote the Specter back story episode, and while its not an absolute disaster, it left me questioning a lot of things.
Jordan Smith
whats the best duel armor?
Liam Gonzalez
>As the Tower of Hanoi gradually approaches its completion, Revolver reflects on the battles that had been waged in LINK VRAINS. And now, carrying on the wishes of Dr. Kogami with firm resolve, Revolver makes his move…
4/38 episodes are fucking recap/clip show. A little over 10% of the fucking series so far is a recap!
>GO Onizuka confronted Revolver and challenged him to a Duel. Meanwhile, the Tower of Hanoi is getting closer to completion…
Here is GO Onizuka's obligatory duel to make him relevant in this story arc, and his obligatory loss to Revolver because only Playmaker can beat him. Likely to be a 2-parter as well, which is fitting if Playmaker vs. Revolver starts at Episode 41.
Asher Rogers
kaibaman.
Angel Myers
Is this the first time a rival's deck has been thies fucking bad compared to the main character's deck? It's going to take some massive misplays and bullshit for Revolver to win this time against playmaker, I can't end in defeat again otherwise all this is for nothing
Zachary Diaz
cyberse are only "decent" because they already have 73 cards (a bit less since there are some cyberse which don't belong to Yusaku) meanwhile rokkets have like 11 cards
Anthony Gray
shit I was only including monsters, there's like 10 cyberse spell/trap cards (most are trash anyway)
William Garcia
Well if Playmaker gets saved in his duel with Specter through interruption, I would count that like Yusei vs Kiryu the 1st time as a loss.
Does Vrains have any connection to Arc V? If I start on it, will I be backtracking to eps I've not seen?
Gavin Lee
no
Andrew Hill
No. VRAINS has no connection to any other YGO series at all, at least not hitherto.
Well, 37 eps of VRAINS have aired thus far - including today's. So yeah, I guess that would be "backtracking" if you haven't seen any at all. As you may have noticed, there have been a number of recap episodes that simply string together footage from past eps as a refresher. IIRC there have been 4 of them thus far.
I get what you mean though, are you referring to how a bunch of characters from previous series showed up at the end of ARC-V?
Ethan Taylor
yeah. I'm still in arc V right now, I keep forgetting to catch up. I'm at ep 88. One of these days I'll catch up
Jeremiah Wright
Don't bother. Drop Arc-V now and you will be spared the immense dissatisfaction at absolutely everything.
David Price
>I'm at ep 88 Don't bother. You've seen more than you needed to see. ARC-V only gets worse from episode ~50 onwards and it never stops until the very end.
Landon Watson
Is it just me or does the eps feel like they drone on and on with duels that seem really pointless
Nathaniel Wilson
I just skipped to ep 99-100 and I'm seeing they are still in the syncro(?) dimension. The theme song is really 90s esque lol
Jace Taylor
>The wall of text card coming through
Connor Hughes
it will end in a defeat, no one can beat gary stusaku, even the best vrains era deck lost because lmao gotta misplay
Levi Gonzalez
ignis maybe?
Jacob Lopez
but will you still take damage?
Aaron Hall
Thread is gonna die before the episode even airs again
Angel Ramirez
last time that happened had to be more than 15 episodes ago.
Dominic Moore
>yfw vrains could have a whole cour full of recaps
Levi Moore
cour?
Julian Roberts
...
Andrew Reed
...
Austin Sanders
what the hell.
Ethan Morales
something like number 2 akira isn't even in the cast list for the recap.
Jaxon Anderson
>still mad over jober angel
Eli Jackson
>jobber
You mean literally everybody but chadmaker?
Ryder Sanders
Revolver is the best!
Noah Ward
t.spectre
Oliver Bailey
>final tree form is some sakura tree
Jonathan Long
Dumb spectrefag say goodbye to your shitty character
Kevin Scott
>spectre killed himself by attacking with the tree
Aaron Sanders
Rip Akira
Logan Gonzalez
...
Andrew Green
...
Oliver Taylor
>playmaker actually used his whole extra deck limit (if there is any)
Ryan Ross
No sympathy for tree fuckers
Ian Perry
>that scream at the end lmao
Elijah Long
I unironically want Spectre's deck
Mason Long
so why did spectre's tree stay and burn?
David Evans
lol recap
Joseph Ward
to say a final fuck you and goodbye to spectre
Angel Jenkins
So what happens to Akira now? Aside from turning into data didn't Kogami said that the cage had a powerful virus too?
Juan Davis
Because Spectre was made for bullying
Oliver Reyes
coma
Colton Baker
>Spectre did more damage to Playmaker in the duel than Revolver did in his duel lol
Jayden Richardson
Thank God this faggot is finally gone
Brayden Bell
Stay mad aoifag.
Chase Edwards
Give me more of these faces
Connor Davis
He is getting btfo by blue angel next time He duels so don't hold your breath
Parker Russell
even faust did more damage
Levi Robinson
>faust Who?
Aaron Wilson
the faces were pretty amazing.
Kayden Morgan
...
Dominic Brown
What was his issue?
Landon Taylor
Spectre has been defeated, what's the point of fucking Lamevolver vs Go ?
Oliver Barnes
filler
Dominic Wilson
Stretching out the end of the arc until episode 50 when they change the op
Isaac Carter
>Revolver reflects on the battles that had been waged in LINK VRAINS >another recap NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jason Evans
is this vrains way of taking damage?
Alexander Perez
No. It's Konami, which attacks VRAINS while using the effects of "Card Game Advertising", which prevents VRAINS from being destroyed. But you still take damage
