Yusaku vs Ai might be one of my favorite end of series duels in all of Yu-Gi-Oh. Even Soulburner vs Revolver is pretty incredible serving as a closure for both of their characters. Roboppy’s duel with Soulburner was a treat to see and it had some Arc-V vibes going on (if you know what I mean). I think it’s a great twist and adds potential drama in the mix. This could have been the season that redeemed Vrains but instead it was a rushed hot mess. The staff probably knew they were going to get canceled and had to wrap it up fast but goddamn was there just so much left in the air. I can’t really blame this season for anything. I could go on and on about season 2 but let’s move on to season 3, which is one of the shortest seasons in Yu-Gi-Oh! history. Aside from that, it’s pretty much just a spiel of Bowman duels which were not fun at all. Example: Windy vs Revolver Soulburner vs Windy Spectre vs Lightning. I love Windy and Lightning as villains, especially in the second half. If not for them, this would have been insufferable to watch. The only redeeming thing about this season were the ignis. The ones with plot armor were most certainly going to win. They did nothing to spice things up and instead followed a bread and butter formula that was indeed predictable. Like what? They could not think of anything else but to build up a rematch 3 times in a single season nor even have a tag duel with Yusaku and Revolver. Sure he’s a good duelist but he’s boring. This man was just a walking disappointment. Now onto the next problem with this season: Bowman. I did like how he defeated Earth and basically killed him off but this whole plot point was just so out of character from the Go of season 1. It was a twist to be sure but I feel as if it was a bit forced. They did some.interesting things with Go Onizuka. The problem is that the rest of the cast becomes irrelevant as if taking a back seat. Sure he’s loud and kinda edgy but he’s okay. Granted, he does receive quite a lot of character development and ends up being the MOST developed during the show. Instead we just have this guy beating everyone around him and being a Mary Sue. Just the mere presence of this character completely overshadows Aoi and Go who could have had way more development alongside Yusaku. This I can only theorize would be the trio from season 1 facing new threats as a team from the higher ups at Sol Tech. I know there was a change in director during this show so that may have played a role in this but I must say that the original vision of this show was not realized. Now I don’t hate Takeru, I just hate what they did with him. Then came season 2 which I feel was when things started to take a drastic turn. In my opinion, this was the strongest season despite all the recaps. There was actually some tension and potential buildup for stuff later down the line. Plus the knights of Hanoi were pretty menacing and Revolver was a badass rival/antagonist. We got a nice introduction to our core characters of Yusaku, Aoi, and Go. I’ll be delving into various plot points so spoilers below:īut looking past that, I thought season 1 was For one thing, the show suffered from shoddy production and change of directors leading to an excessive amount of recaps. There are many things that hindered Vrains from being good. I liked Yusaku’s design and the show had decent aesthetics. I thought this was going to be the 5Ds of the second trilogy of Yu-Gi-Oh! shows. After coming off of the roller coaster that was Zexal and Arc-V, I really wanted to like this show. As he seeks the truth behind a mysterious incident of the past, Yuusaku battles against the Knights of Hanoi and SOL Technologies in a race that might alter the fate of the world.įrom a hardcore Yu-Gi-Oh! fan, this show was somewhat disappointing. Under the guise of his avatar named Playmaker, Yuusaku and his partner in crime, Shouichi Kusanagi, decide to join forces with the peculiar existence. After a failed attempt, one of their targets, Ignis, managed to escape and hide the Cyberse somewhere in the network.įive years later, high school student Yuusaku Fujiki encounters a strange artificial intelligence program while dueling in Link Vrains. Led by the anonymous Revolver, their aim was to annihilate the artificial intelligence program known as the Cyberse. Years ago, a hacker organization known as the Knights of Hanoi unleashed an attack on Link Vrains. However, much like the real world, the digital world is not free from war, conflict, and mysteries. By using this cyberspace, duelists can now create their own avatars and duel their way to glory within a virtual reality. The world of Duel Monsters is once again evolving with the development of a network called Link Vrains and a new summoning mechanic introduced as Link Summoning.
