Yu-Gi-Oh VRains: Top 10 DISAPPOINTMENTS! 
Развлечения
Dissapointments:
-Secondary characters treatment
-Bohman
-Specter Treatment in s3
Bohman? Why
@@theendofroboppi8639 because Hydradrive archetype has one of the most boring gimmicks ever
The only Bowman I really love is the EXTRA THICC shoulders moment
@@theendofroboppi8639 because he was hipocritical.
He claims to understand humans and have honor, but when lightning use the data of Jin he doesnt do anything, and when playmaker defeat him he said that Ai kills the ignis
Compared to a lot of other main antagonists, he was actually more or less fair in his dueling - at least until he started spamming hand traps against Soulburner and Master Storm Access Link-5s against Playmaker. In the latter case, even the great Playmaker needed outside help to have ANY chance against Bohman because of how broken the latter's skill was.
Altho I like the Vrains there are a few things I red to get of my shoulders here well:
10: No Topologina Nabee
9: No Topologina Nabee
8: No Topologina Nabee
7: No Topologina Nabee
6: No Topologina Nabee
5: No Topologina Nabee
4: No Topologina Nabee
3: No Topologina Nabee
2: No Topologina Nabee
1: And last but not least...NO TOPOLOGINA NABEE
you forgot No Topologina Nabee
@@Jochira_VTuber i knew i forgot someghing when i made my list XD
I absolutely hate that crapsack meme. It isn't the least bit funny repeating it over and over. :/
They couldn’t have Topologina Nabee, it would have beaten Ai and ended the series too soon. It’s too powerful to write around.
Should’ve made yusaku use topolagina nabee
My number one disappointment and question left un answered is
“WHERE IS TOPOLOGIC NABEE”
***Topologina***
Yeah that's true
I realy missed it when in season 1 Aoi and Yusaku would have this pattern were one helps the other and the other would repay the favor like when Yusaku saved Aoi from the knight of hanoi in the first episode and then during his duel with the knight of hanoi when he was about to fall Aoi came in and through his board back to save him. I wish that back and forth interaction would carry over into the later seasons
yeah. it would have been a funny running gag. and maybe it would have been a nice way to show character development between the 2
@@ANTHONYACUNA1 hi. ... wait... have we talked before? i have bad memory
*Spectre is fan favourite character*
Writers: let's give him 1 duel in season 2 and kill him off screen with no lines in season 3
Unreal.. Literally unreal

@@YugiohEverything I KNOW RIGHT
Poor Spectre.
My biggest disappointment is SOL Tech. The Chess Pieces were just forgotten after ep 13. Queen had awesome potential, but...
Z- one My biggest disappointment is not revealing the identity and status of windy partner and families and parents of yusaku and firewall dragon fewest appearance and usage
@@hattanalshutaifi4587 I was very surprised to not see Firewall Dragon at all during the final duel against Ai.
@@Straswa which is shame that he might be only ace monster of protagonist that doesn’t appear in final episode and also firewall is only ace monster of protagonist that has been banned in real life which affect his appearance and role in anime
Spectre should have done more.
The kings queens and rooks should have been bigger enemeis to me.
The lost incident kids should have all been shown and see how each of them react to the situation. Would have been cool to see revolver get over it. Yusaku keep his revenge. Spectre love it. Aois friend should have done more windys partner and lighting vs his partner would have been cool to see.
The Wiggles Reunion for Bushfire Relief
@@TheRed02151 Spectre would have loved that b
@SPINE BONG that's how vrains went by the end. It was bland and boring and all the villains were not shown.
Honestly the only one with a proper ending is 5ds the rest don't have proper endings
Pretty sure SOL Tech was gonna be a big villain during a season, but then the concept of a huge evil mega corporation hit Konami a little too close to home so they made them drop it
Aoi's motivation may not have depended on loving the main protagonist, but it did depend heavily on her brother's approval and/or admiration. Even at the end, everything about her just about revolved around her brother, whom, I will point out, had more of an impact on the plot than her, yet he's not even in the main cast. Whether this situtátion is better or worse than the previous leading ladies I guess depends on each individual.
- No Ryoken vs Ai
- Lightning isn't the last boss of season 2
- R.I.P Windy's partner
- No continuation of Rook, Knight, Bishop, and King
- No Yusaku&Ryoken tag duel
- Storylines sometimes are too predictable
- Too much recaps
- The series is too short
Stella Glowee all I agree with. I would have liked Revolver to win, but Ai’s system prevents Revolver from killing him. Forcing Playmaker’s hand
@@TheJaredPunch Yes. But they can give us tag duel between Ai vs Yusaku&Ryoken at least
Stella Glowee a tag duel with Playmaker, another disappointment to add to the list
@@TheJaredPunch No tag duel. Yes I'll add it :-P
@@JunkoEnoshima. oh yes I forget and I mean Yusaku&Ryoken like what me and Jared is talking about XD
I agree that Blue Angel not getting more victories was one of my biggest disappointments especially with how much screen time they gave to Go Onizuka who always just annoyed me especially during season two. I was also frustrated with Bohman's character where it seemed like he never had a consistent backstory and they were always changing his goals every time he was on the show.
My main disappointment in Vrains was the lack of "bonds" between characters. While in every other YGO series protagonist had many friends Yusaku only had Kusanagi, Ai and Soulburner as friends while Aoi, Onizuka, etc were just colleagues.
How the obligatory shipping theories for the protag and female lead even EXIST this time are just beyond me.
It's realistic.
Got tired of the Bonds thing anyway so this was fine for me. “I believe in my friends Therefore i Can draw the card i need or simply create it myself”.
Vrains doesn't have any bonds whatsoever
I think that this is the point of these series. It is about how how playmaker starts as a lone wolf and slowly opens his heart meeting new people and how AI helped him achieve that
Honeslty my one disappointment in general is honestly I wish the show went on longer that we could’ve gotten that extra 20-30 episodes
In terms of show my disappointments mainly would be not as much specter as we would’ve liked and exploring more of the lost incident idea and doing more with all the Duelists rather than just the main 2 Playmaker and Soul Burner because this event was absolutely huge but never really went much further in exploring this topic
No Tournament Arc. No SOL Tech Arc.
@@ANTHONYACUNA1 It's blasphemy! xD
Not enough characters to do a tournament arc.
Some tournament arcs were terrific others like the battle city arc should've gotten shortened heavily for the better arcs
ULGROTHA they could’ve done both. After Ai took over sol tech he could’ve opened vrains back up with a tournament arc for new management.
why need a tournament? it doesnt make sense in vrains, also playmaker is the best duelist there
I think when they find out Lightning was responsible for everything, even if there was a spy ,there was no need to attack SOL anymore.
@ULGROTHA yes tnx
I majorly agree with all points except really for Yusaku's wins. You mentioned that compared to Yusei he has no losses since Yusei had one in a flashback, but what about all the losses during the Lost Incident??? Yusaku even developed PTSD from that many losses so it is not really true that he has zero losses. As much as I also wanted to see him lose and react to it I'm also kinda annoyed when people say he has zero losses - he doesn't and he has a perfectly good reason for that - he is too traumatized to lose and many times he was shown to be struggling to win, especially the fourth duel with Ryoken, duel with Kusanagi and duel with Ai.
I think this thinking originates from the fact that every protagonist so far had to deal with a heavy loss (Yami after the duel with Rafael when losing Yugi, Judai after losing to Edo, Yusei after nearly losing to Kiryuu, Yuma after losing Astral multiple times and Yuya after losing to Reiji and Jack) so it was kinda expected for Yusaku as well. But the thing is - Yusaku was dealing with this heavy loss from the start - Lost Incident. Before it, he was a happy kid loving life and his favourite card game, but Lost Incident took that away from him so all of those losses contributed to one heavy loss he had to deal with throughout all 120 episodes. It is also possible that all of his wins are meant to be a contrast to his own life where he is constantly dealing with loss and being afraid of losing even more. The whole reason why he was so reluctant to make friends was that he was scared of losing them so rather than dealing with a loss he just acted alone as much as possible. It may not be too obvious but it was shown many times: Yusaku didn't want to involve Go or Blue Angel in his fight, he was reluctant to take Takeru on another mission after he was caught in Blood Shepard's trap and he constantly wanted to do things himself. Also, a lot of his wins look like he didn't win at all and more like he lost everything, especially the duel with Kusanagi when he fainted from emotional distress and nearly refused to get up ever again and the final duel which caused him to lose Ai forever (in case he was indeed gone for good).
I actually wanted to see him re-experience Lost Incident more than him losing a duel since it would make much more impact. There were bits of it in the duel with Kusanagi (if you replay the scene where Yusaku receives damage multiple times and compare it to flashbacks from Lost Incident you can see a lot of similarities, especially the one where Yusaku was thrown against the tree) and slightly during Ryoken vs. Takeru duel, but it was not nearly enough to what I really wanted. I think I actually wrote in detail how this would go while season 2 was still airing and I'm still a bit sad I didn't happen. In my version, SOL would have a much bigger role and would find out Yusaku's identity which would force him to leave the city and perhaps hide at Takeru's place (which would provide a much-needed break he needs plus more quality time with Takeru, Ai and Flame, heck maybe he would even have a dinner with his grandparents and got some serenity from living a normal life as he should). Then SOL would likely lure him in the trap along with Takeru and made them duel each other in a similar setting as Lost Incident, though this time they would feel electroshocks whenever they took damage. I even had high hopes that Ryoken would come to save them and therefore he would re-experience Lost Incident himself as well which would probably help him let go of his father's guilt and give Yusaku more reasons to call him a saviour.
Other things I wanted to see:
- Akira or Aoi vs. Queen (or maybe Akira losing to Queen and then Aoi & Aqua duelling to avenge Akira and Earth)
- Takeru & Flame and Aoi & Aqua tag duel vs. Windy or Lightning
- Windy using Blood Shepard's data to learn about Takeru's fears and using it against him
- The connection between Haru, Jin, Kusanagi and Bowman (I had the whole theory about that too, that Haru was supposed to represent Jin before Lost Incident and Bowman was supposed to represent a buffed up version of Kusanagi who protects him)
- Lightning replacing Jin with Yusaku after Bowman defeats him and Yusaku becoming a perfect soldier puppet that Lightning uses to take over network system and the rest of Lost Children teaming up in order to defeat him (similar to Yuya/Zarc duel vs. everyone) and in the end it is Ryoken who barely defeats him or it ends up in draw
When my friends told me that Yugioh Vrains is going to end when it was around the final episodes of season 2 I said, there's another season, probably one with SOL Technologies as the main antagonists... Boy I was so wrong back there
My biggest disappointment is not revealing the identity and status of windy partner and families and parents of yusaku and firewall dragon fewest appearance and usage
I agree, I really wanted to see who Windy's partner was and who Yusaku's parents were too!
Hattan AlShutaifi Firewall Dragon was my main disappointment
TheJaredPunch yes despite firewall dragon said to be yusaku ace monster with 2500 ATK like most protagonists ace monsters and it design look cool neat and beautiful card, it has only appeared in 3 episodes in season 1 and 2 episodes in season 2 and and not at all since episode 82, which was aired in December 2018 when this card was declared Forbidden in the OCG/TCG not that helped because it only ace monster of main protagonist to ever been banned in real life
Have to agree with that Yusaku with having a so called perfect duel record. As much as I loved that Yusaku was a character with a disability but now I understand why Yusaku is sixth place in TGS Anime's statistically who is the protagonist video.
Wasn't TGS Anime's statistically video was on six main characters of Yugioh dueling records.
Kaiba not being final villain. I believe they had plans to make him for Arc-V and Vrains, but decided against it since Dylan ruined the suprise with all those theory videos.
True man all of us should unsubscribe as a punishment
Kaiba Was an anti hero wasn't material to be the ultimate villain duel.To me the original series should've HUGELY shortened the battle city arc to make more space for the next season
I would've prefered it if ARC V ended with Yugi, Jaden, Yusei & Yuma showing up to take on Zarc, as the four heroes from before the timeline split. Each one shows off the fanservice for their decks with some new cards like Neos Fusion for Jaden, all the DM support for Yugi, etc. Give the final spotlight to Atem, obviously. Maybe he draws Exodia, like Dillian's Zarc vs Yugi alternate ending. Something like that or some busted DM boss monster taking the spotlight.
Picky Physics Student Yuya: am I a joke to you
@@Deathmare235 Me: Yes
Dissapointments:
- Revolver don't use Borreload Furious Dragon
- Second character treatment
- Villains
- Summoning Methods
- Topologina Nabee
- Spectrer
- Playmaker wins all duels ( or draw)
- The others kids of Lost Incident
- Vrains ends too fast.
- The connections with the other series
- Yusaku family
- Could have more duels in se3
- The se3 is rushed.
They just announced borrelend dragon in the gold box, a link 5 borrel....
Ryoken Kogami the biggest disappointment In vrains series is firewall dragon lesser appearance and usage despite being yusaku true ace monster
Then again the series stopped trying to connect since ZEXAL
Firewall Dragon being dissed
And no Pendulums
I see bohman and disappointment in the title, I click XD
Just in general, season 1 had a lot of disappointing things, some due to production issues and some not, but I'm glad you didn't only focus on that.
Also, glad that you agree that the plot armor in this show was obscene, way more than any previous show.
Yeah plot armor was ridic. He drew duels he should have lost. And we all know sb should never have beaten revolver
Hi Jode
If you saw my comment on this video, Playmaker’s biggest Plot Armor draw was against Revolver. He literally used a card named ZERO EXTRA LINK when Revolver made a Extra Link.
Other than that Shootingcode Talker was a lucky one. Accesscode and DCT Extended weren’t Storm Access cards.
The rest of the Destiny Draws were okay.
You are totally right about Yusei by the way
@@JunkoEnoshima. true. Everything was skill. But the soulburner win was bs.
@@ANTHONYACUNA1 precisely. He's still the best character in vrains.
I really wanted to see Yusaku look at his cards before his final duel with Ai, per say a recap episode while he remembers the first time he summon them along with Ai. They showed each boss monster and the Code Talkers, but they weren't really even seen like that throughout the arc.
yeah. or at least have moments like that with decode talker, firewall dragon (it's anime, it can ignore the banlists, and if not the link firewall, have a moment with Exceed or darkfluid), transcode talker, and linkuriboh (I still can't believe Linkuriboh was never used against Ai in his final duel)
@@ANTHONYACUNA1 Firewall AND Linkuriboh. Surprisingly enough neither Linkuriboh or Linguriboh were in The Final Duel against Ai. At least we got both Firewall's Evolutions (Darkfluid and Exceed)
I don’t think Exceed counts. He was literally fodder for Darkfluid
Top 5 disappointments go
5. Lack of Aoi in the real World
4. Lack of Jin in the real World
3. Lack of Go in the real World
2. Lack of the Knights in the Real World(Give me more Spectre damn it)
1. Lack of Ai in the real world( i like ai's shenanigans in the real world)
Honorable mentions
Emma bath scene
Hotsprings episode
Beach Episode
School Field Trip that leads to a new arc in Kyoto even if it's a mini arc for like 5 episodes
HAHAHAH I mean you have the best honorable mentions easy xD
@@YugiohEverything thank you, if there's anything I was looking forword to with the school setting, it was the idea of school field trips, it wouldn't even be that hard to work in, do it after the Lightning arc as a way to get everyone's mind off of it, Aoi and Homura are students so they'd come along, more Naoki it's a win win
Dissapointments in vrains for me:
The writing in duels: sometimes the who lost could've won, examples are if aoi had summoned trickstar bloom with the token then used trickstar fusion to summon swet guitar so sb lps will be at 100 if I remembee correctly it was 500 at the start of the turn, then ss another token via live stage to inflict -400 so sbs lps will be 0, or the time when in the ai duel aoi forgot to use coral anemones gy effect to add back a marincess to hand which would've made her have 4 cards in hand, not complaining about her losing just a example of the duel writing not remembering the cards effects and the duels writing.
The switch to marincess from trickstars after s2: as they could've let aoi go back to trickstars and let miyu duel with marincess to make her more than a plot device for letting aoi get a ignis.
Jin post s2: would've loved to see him duel out of his own choice using armatos legio
Spectre: lack of a on screen duel in s3 or show him win against a fake ai and then lose to the real one or roboppi since he is a LI victim, other than that no complaints about him for me.
Pandor: probably should've gotten one more duel against ai and summoned topologic nabee.
Ghost Girl: needed more duels tbh, also maybe they could've made her duel against lighting after his duel with bs and made a perfect Altergeist board and then have lighting destroy it to show off how strong he is again to reinforce it even further, and no altergeist fusion or xyz since everyone else in season 2 was doing that, she only got a synchro.
BS: needed a bit more duels and needed more time to show us the bond between the two and no drone link 4 to do what altergeist memorygant did by symbolizing the bond he has with ghost girl.
Bohman: uninteresting character and deck to see the characters play against, he didn't have much of one and needed less duels against pm as those lasted like 2-3 episodes which could've gone to anything else as in character building.
Episodes: less recaps which I'm aware was out of there control, they could've done more episodes without duels or the start of one in them to focus on the characters and really wish they didn't it shortly.
Aoi/BA/BG/BM: Shouldn't have switched to marincess as trickstars were tied in to her character growth as she said in the sb duel an example being her analyzing what weakness the deck had and made the deck stronger as a whole via carobein just like aoi herself getting better after the loss with spectre. Should've foreshadowed miyu by having aoi mention a best friend she had in season 1 or early season 2 so it could not be as out of nowhere as it was, and no trickstar synchro or xyz.
Akira: fine as is, they did really good with him.
Revolver: Shouldn't have made him forget what he said after the lighting duel and should've kept that to make his character go in that direction in terms of his views and opinions on ai.
Queen and the chess pieces: I have nothing for them.
Kusanagi: no complaints.
Roboppi: no complaints.
Soulburner: probably should've us how he was dealing with the loss of flame in the early half of s3 instead of showing basically nothing.
Playmaker: wished throughout the show they at least showed him hanging out/interacting with everyone besides Kusanagi/takeru/aoi sometimes whether it be for a short duration to show that, I have no complaints about his win streak as I feel they justified it enough I guess and maybe show him smile more I guess.
Windy: wished they spent a episode showing us how his and partners life was before lighting.
Aqua: no complaints.
Earth: no complaints.
Lighting: no complaints.
Flame: no complaints.
Ai: no complaints
Biggest disappointment overall: vrains getting cut short/no season 4.
Overall that's my list/thoughts on the writing which sort have turned into a characters thoughts post.
Elimigate 3 i just read the aoi vs soulburner part. do you understand why soulburner could not lose to aoi?
Actually I don't think Aoi had any misplay in her duel against Ai. The reason why she didn't use Anemone's effect was that she wanted to keep Sea Horse in the GY so that she could use its 2nd effect in her next turn, and even if she did like what you said, she would only have 3 cards in her hand when Ai's spell was activated (you might want to recount the number of cards in her hand). Tbh, even if her play had been as good as that of players irl, the writers would have given her opponents cards which could defeat her since she was destined to lose.
@@hieutrang3635 you make a good point and tbh that would be preferable overall, having them write cards for them to win seems like a better alternative.
@@hieutrang3635 and what are your thoughts on the sb duel situation?
@@elimigate3104 I would like to call it a lack of anticipation instead of a misplay. If the card in Soulburner's hand had been a useless card, she would have won. Soulburner also had a lack of anticipation in his duel against Roboppi. To me, a misplay is a move which is so dumb that there is absolutely no legitimate excuse to explain. For example, Akira could have used Aoi's trap to make the atk of either Dark Templar or Fire Phoenix become 0, then attacked that monster with Hound having 4700 atk, thus defeated Ai. Instead, he attacked Dark Templar having 4600 atk with Hound, then used the trap to make Fire Phoenix's atk become 0, and attacked it with Cerberus having 3500 atk, so he only inflicted 3600 damage to Ai.
I think the biggest disappointment was just all of the potential arcs period. My thing is, they could have covered a couple of these smaller arcs during season 2, but once we met Windy in episode 55, I feel like Season 2 just became too focused on the War between Lightning's group and Playmakers group
my disappointments were that the Ai vs Yusaku duel was not a real-world duel as we could have had the Ai copies look up at them like an audience and seeing how each of them would react when the duel ends as Ai did say that they would have different points of view for life.
not using Aoi in the final season as Ai did make her stay alive to suffer from not saving Akira, so maybe a final duel between her and Yusaku to get some final character growth from her.
not much of Brave Max as it would have been interesting if he interacted more with Yusaku to the point where he could be taken as a serious duelist.
no Yusaku vs Lighting as i consider him the main villain of the show since he pretty much cause everything for all three seasons.
finally, don't remeber if Bowman ever did a Kamen Rider Reference as his actor played Kamen Rider Zanki from Kamen Rier Hibiki and Jirou from Kamen Rider Kiva, a famous toku show from Japan. (If he did, tell me about where i could find it).
Yeah. Maybe have a duel with Aoi and Yusaku as a "training" before Ai, asking yusaku if he is ready to do what needs to be done. Heck, maybe even have her defeat yusaku in that "training" and showcasing yusaku still has doubts about what he could do.
Or maybe have her, revolver, and yusaku have a final 3 vs 3 duel against Ai in the real world (while, for a change, soulburner stays to take care for akira. as his own way of making sure aoi doesn't go through what he did while he was in the lost incident facility.).
AND have, have aoi be the one to defeat roboppy (come on! the duel bewteen little siblings with water motifs hell bent on aveging their older brothers was a good opportunity that was wasted)
AND about Brave MAX. I would have had him being chosen as partner by Earth. Earth being gullible enough to genuinely believe brave Max's statements of knowing playmaker. foricng the nagi gang to accept and maybe even traing naoki. the usual shenanigans stuff. AND THEN have a shocking moment of him being defeated by GO. maybe have him end in a coma and have SOL kill earth like in the original. that would have been a mother of all shocks.
About Bowman. Maybe have a minor joke that once he became a little more advanced, he used his connection to the web to know more about everything. maybe have an interaction with haru were he makes a reference to kamen rider. saying "humans have done some occasional good."
Great video, Dylan! I think it's important to realize that a series isn't perfect, and bring in what you (and others) would have wanted to see. You can love something and have things to change for it.
Regarding the openings, I think that seeing the image relating to the Millennium Items while not having it involved in the show at all.
I think that if Aoi had dueled Spectre again and won, then that would've been a huge victory for her.
If you think about it, we couldve had another full mini arc from the episodes we had in recaps.
I know they wanted to highlight links in VRAINS. But one of the main points of links is to bring out other extra deck monsters.
Seeing AI and Spectre talk about Earth would've been really very interesting. And we would've been able to probably know more of his mindset about his ignis while hating most AI.
Even just seeing a slice of life episode about how Yusaku lives on his own while spending a lot of time in school and dueling.
I know that it may be a bit too dark for Yugioh show, but hearing about a cycle of abuse or even bad judgment that victims sometimes can't espace (especially without support) from Yusaku would've been deep. And we did see that a bit, but not really.
SOL seemed built up in season 2 with Queen, but nothing came of it :o
I have a feeling that a lot of these disappointments weren't intentional at all. With what was going on the animation studio I think that they had to scrap out a lot of details in order to make the cut. Like you mentioned before there were a lot of recap episodes which is something that most animes (or any series for that matter) does unless it's at the end of a season or before the final battle. I'm sure that if the writers and the animation team had more time and budget they easily could of made a few more episodes. (I'd predict at least another 10-15 episodes) and could have easily tweaked those disappointments into pros or at least made them more tolerable to the viewers.
I still think Vrains is one of the better Yu-Gi-Oh! spinoffs and quiet frankly I think they had a good amount of interesting characters that could've easily done more of the show. Especially for the SOL Technologies. With how Queen was set up, I'm almost certain they had initially planned for a SOL Technologies season, but had to take it out completely. Especially since Zaizen became the CEO at the end of the series. Little details like that clearly hints that it would've done a character arc for not only him, but for Aoi and Emma since they are technically part of that aspect. So, I'm sure they had a lot of things planned, but ultimately had no time or place to put them in...
It appears the Zaizen's appear in all lists, for better or worse CoughAoiCough
@Anime Fangirl Let's hope our deeply numbed apathy at this point leads to a pleasant surprise with Romin or possibly Mimi.
My main disappointment is that it felt like there was no plot progression in season one.
Shin Yoshida, as per usual, takes way too long to get to the point and has to rush the ending, no matter how many episodes he has left. Sometimes it balances out, like in Zexal(a). Other times, like here and in Zexal(m), it just _doesn't._
They did it for parts of season 2 I think also
6:16 I love this minigame of Spot the Hidden Calabro you've made haha.
1:33 my dissapointment is opening 2 barely updating itself, and that we never got a sixth ending (so it was 3 openings, 6 endings to have some symmetry)
2:46 i agree. she had so much potential BUUUUTT it was so wasted at the end. the fact that the narrative kept her distant from the Nagi Gang even after teaming up with Aqua until after the conflict with bowman, AND ONLY after the conflict with Ai started she got to learn yusaku was playmaker was really dumb. especially because that was a double wasted opportunity of having aqua interact more with her ignis friends AND make her death and flame's hurt more.
another wasted opportunity with her: have her final duel be against Roboppi. the contrast of "little sibling" figures wanting revenge (especially because this woud have taken place AFTER Akira's defeat at Ai's hands) would have been gold.and bonus points for both being related to water figures one way or another.
and she being the one to put roboppy out of his misery would have been kinda poethic.
ALSO, Have her at least see the final duel between soulburner and revolverat least.
if after that if the only duel we get is ai vs playmaker, it woud have been a nice sendoff to her character. of she wanting to take care of akira and hope for the best and not wanting to giht would have been understandable.
spectre was an amazing character and revolver needed more wins specially against lightening, also Ai's arc was short he was an amazing antagonist and my favourite character
Agree with all your points! Esp Spectre and the lost incident kids. This is unrelated, but ever since your last stream, I haven't gotten Cruel Angel's Thesis out of my head XD
Imagine if YGO 7 is VRAINS Part 2 and they address some of these.
Hahaha. We got the best YGO eVeR.
Great vid, you basically touched on everything I thought after watching the series. I just finished Vrains today.
Tbh I think all the character we a disappointment for me. Personally I feel like VRAINS had the weakest cast and if they gave them more opportunities to interact with each other we could have gotten to know them better. I definitely was upset about Spectre in particular, but also I really honestly wanted Jin to be an actual character. I thought there could have been potential there.
Technically yusaku lost every duel we saw in flashback during the lost incident
I gave up on this season because the main Yu hero was a cold-hearted Jerkass and it was 100% dark. You need to balance it, unlike how Arc-V became because they wanted it to show the "real" side.
Some ideas for a SOL Tech arc:
1) Have it take place in the 1st half of Season 3 during the time Ai is preparing to turn on everyone which means Yusaku/Playmaker wouldn't have him during his duels.
2) Akira Zaizen and Aoi/Blue Maiden have separate one on one duels with Queen. Akira is the first to duel her but loses which leads to Blue Maiden to challenge her to a Speed Duel so that we know Queen's Skill before she gets destroyed by Ai when he makes his return.
3) A Tag Duel. The closest we had to a tag duel were handicap duels like Ghost Girl and Blood Shepherd vs Roboppi. Have one of the chess pieces, my choice being Knight, create a digital copy of themselves with the opposite colour scheme (one Knight has white armour while the other has black armour since white and black are typically the colours used in chess). Then they duel Playmaker and someone like Soulburner, Blue Maiden or even Revolver since it's always interesting to see the rival and protagonist team up.
4) Have Go Onizuka duel Playmaker one last time. Go, to me, is the secondary rival of Vrains and it would've been cool to see him duel Playmaker one more time before Ai defeats him. Go was redeemed out of nowhere in Season 3 so this duel would be a way to bring him back to the good side. Playmaker would mainly have to mention the orphans Go used to visit. Playmaker would obviously win but the main thing is that Go is redeemed.
5) Revolver should be the one to end the arc. SOL Tech played a part in the death of Revolver's father so of course he would want revenge. If more motivation is needed, make it that the chess pieces want to start a new version of the Lost Incident to create their own Ignis' since they failed to get the original ones. Revolver already has guilt over the Lost Incident that his father caused which caused suffering to all 6 children involved and didn't want the same thing to happen again. He learns this from his spy in SOL Tech and creates a team with Playmaker, Soulburner, Blue Maiden, Spectre, Akira and Blood Shepherd (who only joins because of his hatred for AI's) and invade SOL Tech via Link Vrains. In the final duel of the arc, he duels King or Queen (depending on who would be the final boss of the arc) and pulls out a shock moment when he summons his Link 5 monster, Borrelend Dragon, and pulls put the win.
6) The aftermath has all but Queen being arrested for what they were planning and Akira becomes in charge of SOL Tech. Queen isn't arrested because she's on that cruise ship that was advertising the Soltis that were being released. This, of course, is when Ai makes his return as the final villain of the anime with Roboppi by his side. They don't know that Queen no longer has power in SOL Tech and assume that she has what she wants. Ai destroys her in their duel and then realises that Akira is the one their after. The rest continues as it did in the anime.
Any Firewall Dragon ideas too?
Besides the financial issues, I see that most of Dylan's disappointments were caused by Playmaker, Soulburner aka Playmaker 2.0, and Ai aka Playmaker 3.0. To be more specific, they either directly caused the disappointments (Playmaker did not lose, his background information was vague) or indirectly caused them (Soulburner and Ai made Aoi, Sol, and other characters become wasted characters). I don't really have any complaint about the fact that Playmaker is too op since he is the main protagonist, but I cannot find out any legitimate reason why Soulburner and Ai had so much screen time in season 2 and 3, and these two really made me feel frustrated. I genuinely hope that there will be no main protagonist 2.0 and 3.0 in YGO 7, or I may have to drop that show.
*mention protagonist cookies
*Arc-V left the chat
Disappointments
5. Soultech particularly the chess pieces and how they were underutilized.
4. Queen, she was a weak villain overall.
3. Aoi, all that build up just to be a loser
2. The XYZ monsters I'm not a competitive player but other than Salamangreat Miragestallio I don't see any reason to play any of them as opposed to another card that does the same thing but better.
1. the series only got 120 episodes :(
windbrick My biggest disappointment is not revealing the identity and status of windy partner and families and parents of yusaku and firewall dragon fewest appearance and usage
My biggest disappointment is most of the screen time was for the virtual world, if they included more events IRL of The anime that would break the monotony and make more unexpected events
Could you just imagine though? One bad duel where Yusaku gets backed into a corner and he starts flipping out and panicking the more he gets closer and closer to defeat as the trauma starts kicking in. That'd be nuts.
Great Top 10!👏👏
The fact that Spectre and lightning decks weren't printed before the end of the anime is the biggest sin in mankind.
DRAPION54 yeah. I wanted their cards. So many decks from the vrains anime were not printed. When has there ever been a series where the anime villains main deck was not made. Only Revolver got a deck in the TCG but it took a while but not Lightning, ,Bohman,Spectre,or Windy.
@@spencersss1251 spencer sss Soo Lightnings deck is Link Spam with more then 15 in the extra deck, Bohman has literally over 15 in his extra deck, with 3 unreleased monsters, no coherency in theme. Spectre runs plants which Is unfortunate as Plants are a very abusable archetype and Windy... We'll look at the Simorgh support. Basically the same thing
We got Sunavalons.
This is a good video.Nice job!
Thanks so much Tulio! Really means a lot :)
Remember that Water Attribute Code Talker? The one with the Bow and Arrow?
I miss that one...
Wolf Entertainment oof 😓
Great list Dylan!!! As always I'll share my list and let me know what you all think
1. Aoi and Miyu's friendship/story
2. Lack of Slice of Life episodes
3. Spectre's treatment
4. No shot of Blood Shepard and Emma at the hospital like in Ending 5
5. No SOL Tech/Ignis Revival ac
6. No backstory on Yusaku
7.Forgotten plot points (the spy, Ai hating humans, the Kings of Sol)
8. The underutilization of the other LI kids
9. Yusaku's undefeated streak
10. The Season 1 Recaps
Blue Maiden 28 a true Aoi fan, my sympathie towards you shows no bound
@@TheJaredPunch yeah it's sad she deserved so much more
Hm, I agree with mostly everything. Some I can go without like 4 to a degree. But I especially agree with 2. Vrains felt too serialized for me. Not that I'm close-minded to serialized storytelling but there was definitely so much potential for slice of life episodes in the setting for this show.
I'm so glad you brought up the summoning method thing in the episodes and you know we haven't seen that since and I even brought it up to my husband like why does Konami decide to only make certain decks certain summoning methods like the Galaxy eyes can only be an xyz's deck and like starving venom can only be a fusion deck like Galaxy eyes doesn't get any more links besides one and they don't get synchro monsters and fusion cards and the starving venoms don't get synchros or XYZ like that's just weird to me why Konami pegs certain decks for certain summoning methods it just doesn't make sense to me
vrains disappointment
the mistreatment of Aoi and go onizuka
the recap episodes
robopi being permanent death
Ai not using Yusaku secret identity to manipulate the humans into bringing Playmaker to him
Kusanagi only giving Yusaku free coffee for life but not hot dogs
(To me) ending 4 made look that Naoki was going to join the team and help the Earth Ignis
frog and pigeon not getting paid
the way that they eliminate everyone at the start of season 3 in a non shown duel
Guillermo sierra Cuéllar My biggest disappointment is not revealing the identity and status of windy partner and families and parents of yusaku and firewall dragon fewest appearance and usage
I was disappointed that we never saw at least 1 duel in the real world instead of being inside Vrains.
My main disappointment... is Firewall Dragon. And overall, Playmaker has never truly decided on a true Ace Monster. Firewall Dragon’s effect was a mistake
@@ANTHONYACUNA1 yeah. especiall becuase one of my favorite duels in whole VRAINS was firewall's true last important duel against akira. also, firewall had such a cool design
also firewall dragon's efect should be ERRATA ed so you can only summon cyberse monsters. it would lead to shenanigans with salamangreats, mathmech, marincess, or others, but its a more fair effect.
I attribute this to Konami's lack of Meta game Foresight, to the extreme in this case as the one they made bonkers and Meta breaking first was the one card that supposed to be the series mascot.
PS: so far, Firewall Dragon is the ace(?) Monster with the least alternate/evolution forms in Yu-Gi-Oh canon.
Bryan Hernandez let’s hope that Konami learned from their mistakes with Firewall Dragon
Fun fact we all thought at the start that go onizuka and Aoi are one of the 6 victims (earth and water) even though they didn't use earth based deck or water based deck but they eventually ended up ther (earth getting plated in go and him using an earth deck which is dinowrestlers and Aoi using aqua)
My main disappointments were mainly just that my favorite characters, Ghost Girl and Pandor never really ever do anything or have victories vs relevant characters. Topologina is a really cool deck that I'd have loved to see more of, and Altergeist is my favorite deck to play myself. Also, what about Topologina Nabee? If we get a VRAINS II, we NEED to see Pandor make a comeback with Nabee as her deck's Rank 5 or something. (Also, I want the Topologina cards to get printed, along with Drones and Sunvines, but that probably won't happen).
I can agree with the disappointments, especially with the summoning methods. The main reason I hated Link Summoning is that it limited the other summonings that involve summoning from the extra deck.
TheRedHeadRaven agreed, now it’s a game for wait until your favorite Archetype gets a Link Monster. I made one for Yuya
Yeah link summoning really did that :/ And so, you would expect them to try and show how effective the other summoning methods can be with links, but for the first 46 eps we saw NONE of that
TheRedHeadRaven I at least made a Link Monster for Yuya
The fact they added all methods except Pendulums really bothers me so much
My Top 3 disappointments for me:
1) Recaps (although justifed)
2) The OP/ED ratios (harder to justify IMO
3) Episode 56 AKA Soulburner VS Blue Girl (IMO, it's the epitome of disappointment for VRAINS)
There's more, but I'm sure most of them were already listed in the video. Anyways, been behind on the content, so I'm hoping to catch up soon & looking forward to the Top 10 Duels!
Strongly agree on Aoi vs. Soulburner, worst and most unnecessary duel in the entire show, it managed to make both characters look worse and was honestly the lowest point in the show for me.
Wanna know what would have been great? Aoi dueling miyu to free her from lightning, they said lightning put her under a virus but imagine if that virus had mind control capabilities
To me the 1st was Firewall announced like a Ace Monsters being replaced by Decode Talker because of cardgame problems.
Good video Dylan but for my list I would switch is almost the same I would just switch ur 2nd HM with ur 3rd on the list
For me:
10. Crack Dragon being completely abandoned after Season 1
9. Screwing over pretty much every side
8.Season 3
7. Too many new boss monsters
6. Openings never fucking changed as the series went on
5. Bohman and Lightning, fuck these two. Honestly.
4. Recaps
3. No Topologina Nabee(Like jesus where’s our Topologic Link 5?)
2. Underutilization and Refusal to nerf Firewall Dragon
1. Playmaker. Never. Lost and always won because of a made up card that never got printed. He had worse plot armor then any other protagonist tbh.
Lets also go into how One dimensional this guy is.
Specter, man. Specter. He was such a cool character
SUCH a freaking cool character
6:16 I started to think Dylan wants us to count/ find Cal in every video XD
in regards to the other summoning methods, i think it sort of made sense. Link monsters completely shook up the rules for duelling so it makes sense that the other summoning methods wouldn't show up for a season. Also, it made it that much more special when they did appear (Cyberse Magician anyone?). I do think Synchro would've made more sense to be included though.
Fact zone returns with yet another exciting episode. First of all I find it really funny how someone who "praised" GX for having only 4 openings of which half of them are mediocre and half are very decent, says that VRAINS which has 1 OPENING LESS, is a disappointment in that regard, to say that you're wrong about that would be an understatement of the millennia, all 3 VRAINS openings are magnificent, rivaled by some Arc- V openings which were and still are some of the best YGO openings, the only part I agree with is Go forward being a little to overplayed and maybe how Opening 3 kind of lied on how Yusaku and Aoi are gonna get closer together and that's it. Let's see what do we have next, oh yes! I'm also baffled how you say Playmaker is invincible due to not losing during the run time of the show while mentioning Yusei who only lost in a flashback, WITHOUT EVEN MENTIONING THAT PLAYMAKER ALSO LOST IN A FLASHBACK, this something some people put genuine effort into in order to even say a false information like that so I'm genuinely impressed for that reason, and also the duel is called no result for a reason buddy, because you never know what Yusei might have done if his D-wheel didn't break, which also brings me to the fact that you speculated what might have happened in the Judai vs Yugi duel, WHICH WAS ALSO A GODAMN NO RESULT. Moving on, Queen is a textbook example of a one-shot villain, I have no idea why you're hyping her up so much. Quinella (SAO) Irene Belserion (Fairy Tail) Esdeath (Akame ga Kill) all have awesome character development to warrant them being villains in their respective shows which Queen doesn't. Another thing that I wanted to do is ask you a question. Have you ever seen a YGO show minus the original and GX, which uses all summoning methods that exist at the time, 5ds didn't have Rituals, ZEXAL didn't have Synchros and Arc V didn't have Rituals, so why did you expect VRAINS to be different with Pendulums, since I'm 99.99% sure that you don't even know, that means I surely can't know. Our first chance to see all summoning mechanics might be in Yugioh 7 since I'm 99.99% sure we're NOT GETTING a new summoning mechanic. Oh and lastly, if you're wondering about what happened to the chess pieces, Gabriel Miller (Dark King Vector from SAO) ate them all.
Edit: I actually forgot about Prediction princess Tarotrei which is a Ritual monster and every single Cyber angel from Asuka, which is a side effect caused by Tarotrei being a random monster and Asuka being a terible and forgettable character
Yo dude you missed out Shima on the thumbnail at least Bohman and lightning were more bearable but nice job including
Mr Voldemort got caught in a grease fire and had intermate love with Skeletor 😂
Hey buddy. You might be overlooking the fact that the reason why they didn't include pendulum summoning is that they plan to develop a crossover in the future.
However, I also expected SOL Technology to be the final antagonist of the show.
One small plot point that was never touched was how Yusaku could hear the "voice" of machines in the first episode.
I'm at #9 and I already agree with your list so far XD. Openings and endings matter to me as well.
Anna...
My Top Disappointments are structured in three parts.
1.Characters that disappointed with duels,development etc.
1.Aoi
2.Spectre
3.Jin
4.Windys Origin
5.Earth
2. Forgotten/Ignored Plots
1.SOL
2. Lost Incident
3. Yusakus past
4. Windys Origin (yes he is a double disappointment)
5.Hanoi Spy
3.Disappointing Episodes
1. All episodes with focus on Brave (Lame) Max
2. Recaps
3.Episode 121 and forward (you know why I am disappointed here)
4.SOL databank AI Duel episodes (waste of time)
5.Second Duel of Bohman vs Playmaker, no plot moving just another win for Playmaker and making Bohman look weaker. It really angered me for the "main" villain to lose twice without reason
Long post, but I think I can distill my disappointments down to a top 5 problems that caused most of the issues with the show. Number 1 and 2 have to be the clear behind the scenes production issues and the show being cut short and only having 120 episodes. The production issues gave us the animation issues, the recaps, and the director change that de-emphasized Sol Tech and Yusaku’s backstory despite foreshadowing/setup. The show being cut short probably stopped there from being a Sol Tech arc, created lots of plot holes/unanswered questions, and contributed to the side characters being shafted.
If there had been time for a Sol Tech arc, I think it likely would have given more on Yusaku’s backstory and centered the Lost Incident victims more since they were the ones who suffered the most at their hands. I’ve been surprised that people haven’t been more angry at Konami or whoever made the call to cut VRAINS short since it really negatively impacted the show compared to the others, it reminds me of 4Kids failing to dub GX’s final season. I guess the strong ending covered for some of that, but the treatment of the show by the higher ups given the production problems and the show being cut short raises a lot of concerns.
Number 3 is definitely Yusaku himself, he had a lot of potential after season 1 that really only got explored in the duel against Kusanagi and Ai. It almost seems like they only wanted Yusaku to be the main character in Season 1 and then had Soulburner in Season 2 and Ai in Season 3 as the main characters. I guess they didn’t know what they wanted to do with Yusaku and instead gave some of the development he should have had to Soulburner and Ai.
Number 4 (surprised this wasn’t on your list Dylan) was the almost complete lack of real world duels and episodes after Season 1. I always thought the real world moments in Season 1 were a great contrast to the VRAINS stuff where we could have good development and interactions, humor, and just have a change in tone and setting that was desperately needed to keep things fresh.
Finally, number 5 is the weak world-building in VRAINS as a whole. While VRAINS is my number 3 show out of all the Yugioh’s, its world-building is the worst of any of the shows to me. We know so little about where the VRAINS came from and what purposes it served aside from just being a platform to duel. Den City we know even less about, the settings feel like they don’t have much depth and are just there because they have to be. The most intriguing part of the VRAINS itself is the very end of the show when they say it can connect to other worlds. I really thought they were going to build up to the VRAINS becoming conscious as a super Ignis, hence why VRAINS is so similar to ‘brains.’ That very well could have been part of the Sol Tech arc we never ended getting and could have added to the long arc of the show.
12:48 "Revolver says to Akira"
Yusaku: I'm so confused
My Top 10 Disappointments:
10. No Aoi Zaizen (Blue Angel/Gal/Maiden) vs Go Onizuka duels
9. No human appearance of "King" and "Knight"
8. OPs/EDs
7. No Ritual summoning for Revolver
6. Never learn Windy's partner's name
5. No Pendulum Summoning in VRAINS
4. No Ignis duels
3. No rematch duel between Aoi and Spectre
2. No encounter with Spectre and Earth (Ignis)
1. Never seen Playmaker/Yusaku lose a duel once
Maybe the director thought the chess pieces would end up like the five dragon guys or Noah?
Agree with each picks. Would also have added:
- Playmaker’s Endless arsenal of Link Monsters
- Lack of Code Talkers after Season One
Yeah the code talkers really did disappear
Definitely. After Playmaker and Revolver’s fourth and final duel, Excode and Powercode Talkers never make another appearance. Encode Talker meanwhile, dose return. However, it was only in Playmaker’s fourth duel with Bohman. Transcode Talker as well returns for this duel and then goes onto appear in the final duel of the show. As for Decode Talker, he only appears three times after the end of season one. And then... Shootingcode Talker. After his introduction in the first duel of season two, he only appears then in Playmaker’s duel with Blood Shepherd.
These cards had such great potential. Potential that was never fully realised.
Ruairi Edwards The Code Talkers and Firewall Dragon were tossed aside by Cyberse Clock Dragon
TheJaredPunch that’s true. However, Playmaker also had so many more link monsters he acquired as the show went on. I’ve done some checking and he has the highest number of extra deck monsters:
Fusion - 1
Synchro - 1
XYZ - 1
Link - 43
Total: 46 extra deck monsters!!!
That’s ridiculous!!!
Ruairi Edwards Jaden would be proud
There are two duels I feel like would've been the best places for Yusaku/Playmaker to lose. The 1st being his duel against Bohman, the 3rd encounter between the two. Which you've talked about in your video on results you would've changes. The 2nd would need to move some stuff in Season 1, that being his first duel against Revolver. To me, the first duel between the rival and the main character is the best time for the protagonist to lose. Instead of Aoi/Blue Angel being infected with a virus after her duel with Playmaker, Revolver shows up and challenges Playmaker to a duel. They still get Topologic Bomber Dragon and Firewall Dragon from the Data Storm but Playmaker doesn't get to use Firewall and instead, loses to Revolver. This would set up Revolver as a threat and shows us a side of Yusaku we didn't get to see. This could give us room for a Blue Angel vs Go Onizuka duel and maybe a rematch between Blue Angel and Playmaker where Blue Angel would then be infected with the virus. That leads to Playmaker and Revolvers rematch that Playmaker barely wins using Firewall Dragon and gets the cure for Blue Angel's virus. For both the Bohman duel and Revolver duel, they could save Playmaker and Ai by having Kusanagi save them via hacking.
We did actually hear one thing of Yusaku's parents (Correct me if wrong because I can't remember what episode this came from) but Yusaku mentioned his parents put him in therapy after the Lost Incident and supported him, but it wasn't enough for him to move on.
Aoi not otking Playmaker in their first duel.
Aoi not beating Soulburner. (Could’ve bloom for GG.)
Aoi not beating Bohman.
You have the best list
@@bluemaiden2894 also, Aoi not being the one to beat roboppy (IT WAS THE PERFECT MATCHUP. little siblings wanting to avenge the sins against their older siblings, both having a water motif and being related to the ignis while not being that close to the ignis)
Aoi could not beat soulburner. it would have broken her character.
For a while, I thought blood shepherd might’ve been Windy’s partner. Windy’s partner was never necessarily confirmed to be dead, and blood shepherd’s origin was literally him getting in a car accident because of an out of control ai… windy.
For best duel, I'm going with either lightning and revolver (Both so angry and entertaining) or AI just being goofy in all of his.
Aoi's whole character
And sol tech
Jace prince agreed
And topologic neebee
I felt there is a season between second and last season that is focus on sol technology, but for some reason that season is cutted since vrain is considerbly shorter than other shows. Which is very disappointing because a lot of character can be way better if there is another season to back them up.
My disappointment is that they never showed Playmaker Vs Revolver rematch. Cause when Revolver visited Yusaku he said that if he survives after the war between humans & Ignises then they have to duel. And I would like to see Playmaker Vs Lightning
My number 1 disappointment is Firewall Dragon disappearance
His last appearance was in the duel with Go in S2 which we was only summoned to show Firewall eXCeed Dragon's effect
And then in the S2 finale got a boss version
And in the S3 finale he got replaced by Accesscode Talker
Just because Konami isnt careful with wording cards
JURI 100 GAMING my thoughts exactly! Thank you. A true man of culture
JURI 100 GAMING it’s effect was a mistake
@@TheJaredPunch no matter what they say FD its the true ace
The openings! I thought I was the only one bothered by it. A disappointment of mine was the animation. I'm not asking for an Attack On Titan or Demon Slayer animation, but some episodes were pretty bad.
6:20 I feel like we're playing a "find cal" game
I'm glad I wasn't the only one bothered by it either!
Cal will be in every video during filler arc
Another comparison u can make between Yusaku and Yusei is that nearly every duel they were in was high stake's
There where those background xyz in the first episode, so explanation-wise they just waited a bit too long before saying "let's not do what we did that background dark tuner in zexal and make them more than Easter eggs".
Granted, this only replaces one flaw with another
Honestly I still believe that Sol Tech killed or kidnapped the parents.
Interesting theory!
I would have loved if that was the case and maybe it was, and thats why we never heard about it because that arc never happened
3:15 THANK YOU!
Did any of this series have come to the US
I didn’t like how they never showed the remaining ignis and their human connections. We never see the wind ignis partner and what they experienced after the Lost Incident.
Blaring issue #1. VRAINS is the first series in the franchise to have NOTHING to do with the actual card game. The conflicts could have been handled with Gundams or Pokemon battles and the plot outcome wouldn't have changed. The cards never really mattered or had value. They began the show the Cyberse plot device, and quickly scrapped that idea like so many other holes listed in the video. A few aspects of VRAINS were definitely enjoyable, but it was ridden with production issues after they invested so much energy into that 2016 movie.
Zee Zell Which makes vrains a bit different from the others
Yeah VRAINS will definitely be the show that is looked back on as the trickiest to judge fairly only because of how slammed it was with production and behind the scenes issues
I bet the biggest disappointment was Yusaku and Aoi didn’t get together.
Maybe for the shippers xD
Nah I'm just glad it didn't happen.
Nah too forced
That’s not a diss appointment. That’s a good thing
For your information, if Aoi herself, I mean her voice actress, had not asked to fix the conversation between Aoi and Yusaku in episode 105, that conversation would have had zero emotional content. The script of that episode was written by Yoshida Shin by the way. The article talking about this was posted on facebook of "Yu-Gi-Oh Animes."
Technically, Lightning had an appearance in opening 3 when we see the five dead ignis with Ai in front
What do you think about YGO Vrains 6th best anime ? I'm happy because it's not the 1st it's not perfect.
10 - Haru should appear more ! One duel and died. Done.
9 - Queen, I have high hopes since Go Forward OP...
8 - Jin fight his cancer and done...
7 - Windy, I wish see how he discover the truth.
6 - Yusaku backstory
5 - Aoi. Really she should be better.
4 - Specter and Earth relationship
3 - Playmaker Ace Monster
2 - The serie should be a little longer.
1 - Miyu useless.
Dylan: "In my eyes there's no such thing as a perfect piece of media"
Me: *points to "Avatar: The Last Airbender" (series)*
Ehhhhhh before Korra it was pretty close
I would say that Aang should have killed Ozai but other than that it's pretty freaking perfect (as long as we all agree that Korra never happened)
No, not even close. You guys are just fanboying.
I would say Nier Gestalt, but even that goes too far out of its way to make everything tragic, so he's right.
@@genyakozlov1316 If you actually analyse the series, it was so ahead of it's time, and the writing was pure genius. But we'll have to agree to disagree. Plus the fact my original post obviously wasn't to be taken 100% literally.
Wakfu is better
I love spectre he remembers me to edo Phoenix but shit he was sooo forgotten.
Who was better handled in the long stretch? Spectre, or Arc-V-era Edo?
Fair points though the recaps are annoying while the show runs thats why the huge amount of filler episodes in the big shonen doesn't bother the current audience
Most of the points are pretty fair
My main issues are how the cast was mistreated past season 2 the complete lack of narrative stakes
And the lack of real life interactions
Yusaku was problematic since his personality wasn't given a thought after season 2
Vrains was just plot duel plot duel
Panagiotis Kapidis come on, at least one good breather duel couldn’t hurt
@@TheJaredPunch yeah i wouldnt mind a non plot relevant duel but we didnt got it so...
@@ANTHONYACUNA1 we are meant to assume that his personality had a progression but we are not experiencing it
The idea was there and it was great but at the end of the day you judge the execution
Hal/Haru. Was a pushover entirely for Boreman. Didn't even seem like he played a different way than Bohman, so he literally was just a weaker Bohman, which made Aoi look like an idiot cuz she was happy she beat him.
Emma. While I do get that she's the Mai of the show, I find it hilariously infuriating she only won 1 duel against Brave Max. She was a good duelist who actually prepped for most of her duels and she got lucksacked all 4 times.
Bohman. Had either 0 personality or just straight up became a villain for a few seconds and then tried to be "Holier than thou." Most confusing VRAINS villain with honestly the most boring Deck.
