Sendou Aichi 2,356 Posted February 16, 2017 We finally have a name for the 6th series! The show’s theme is to try out new things instead of giving up at first due to the overwhelming amount of information, Sounds familiar? As its name suggests, the series features VR duels, in a cyberspace constructed with the latest technology. In these duels, the player transforms and duels on an hoverboard. Everything in this series, aside from the characters, is CGI, so expect good animation unless we get another movie or something that will screw the budget. Characters: Yusaku Fujiki: An high-schooler who hates standing out(possibly because of his identity as an hacker), and luckily for him, he doesn't stand out much at school. However, he meets many different people after he starts to duel. His secondary ace monster is called Decode Talker, a 2300 ATK link monster. His real ace monster is Firewall Dragon, a 2500 ATK Cyverse link monster. Cool-headed and extremely clever, Yusaku is a skilled hacker. He is also good at reading people and he thinks on his feet. Got famous as Playmaker in the VR world thanks to defeating some of the Knights of Hanoi. Very self-centered, his goal is to get revenge on The Knights of Hanoi for stealing Kusanagi's brother(possibly kidnapping him?) and his past from him . Due to a certain incident, he generally tries to avoid contact with others. He seems to only trust Kusanagi. The two of them work together. Voice Actor: Shouya Ishige Ignis, the Mysterious AI: An AI, who, 5 years ago, stole some vital data from the Cyberse world, including the Data Storm. He is sought by both Hanoi and SOL tech. Knowing this, Yusaku traps him in his duel disk as an hostage. A self-centered AI, who gets carried away easily. Also likes to joke around, much to Yusaku’s annoyance. Soichi Kusanagi: A hacker who know Yusaku and works with him. Has his brother stolen from him by the Knights of Hanoi His disguise is an hot dog vendor, when in reality the van is actually Yusaku and Kusanagi's base of operation. After a certain incident in the past, he teamed up with Yusaku to fight the Knights of Hanoi. Revolver: The leader of The Knights of Hanoi. Not much else is known about him. Aoi Zaizen: The female lead. She is Yusaku's classmate. She seems quiet, but she is very active in the VR space. Her VR form is Blue Angel, and her personally there is very different from her real life. Got a brother complex. Akira Zaizen: Aoi's older brother. SOL Technologies Corporation’s Security Chief. He and Aoi live by themselves, without their parents. He devotes himself to work for Aoi’s sake, but due to that, he usually doesn't have the chance to come home. He knows about his sister's identity. Go Onizuka: He is interested in Playmaker. His VR design is the same as the real world. He is considered the best Charisma duellist. Naoki Shima: Yusaku's classmate and a talkative student who belongs to the Duel Club. He loves Duel Monsters, and often has the most up-to-date Duel-related info, but he isn't confident in his skills. He is a big fan of Playmaker. Organizations: The Knights of Hanoi: A group of hackers who want to destroy LINK VRAINS. They wear a mask and a white longcoat. SOL Technology: The company that is responsible for LINK VRAINS. 5 Yuya Sakaki, The 13th Kenpachi, AngelTheWeirdStranger and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuya Sakaki 5,212 Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) I seriously can't wait for this show to air and what it will bring to the OCG/TCG. I'm pretty hyped! I got ninja'd I already like yusaku as a character (probably because he's channeling yusei ) but I'm still slightly disappointed in the way arc v turned out Yeah Arc-V was enjoyable but it turned into a mess, honestly. Synchro Arc was too long, mainly. That caused a snowball effect for everything else. But I am still looking forward to how it's gonna end and how they'll wrap everything up within the next two months.Peace!

Sendou Aichi 2,356 Posted February 17, 2017 If he hates standing out then why is his hair so mesmerizing? You aren't the first person to make that joke, believe me I got ninja'd I already like yusaku as a character (probably because he's channeling yusei ) but I'm still slightly disappointed in the way arc v turned out As Yuya said, synchro firetrucked everything up. And don't get me started on BB and 92.Granted, I don't think is going to be similiar to ArcV in any way, Japan hate it lol. And yeah, Yusaku didn't smile in any of the pics he is shown so far. 2 2 quid is good and Yuya Sakaki reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheKeyofRose 282 Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) This appears to be akin to 5D's Link Monsters feel like that. Plus his ace word isn't a 2500 monster which is akin to Yusei as well whos ace before Stardust was Junk Warrior. This series I plan on watching I haven't watched Arc-V or Zexal but hey if this is as promising as 5D'S I'll love it.

This series I plan on watching I haven't watched Arc-V or Zexal but hey if this is as promising as 5D'S I'll love it. Yeah it does seem to be heavily 5D's inspired, heck Yusaku is so much like Yusei- not only Decode Talker. got the same attack as Junk Warrior and even a similar effect,which boost attack based on how many monsters are linked to it(although better because of its ability to negate targeting effects by tributing a monster in its linked zone, and it isn't limited ), but they are both cool-headed and extremely clever. Both of them got skills outside of dueling-Yusaku is an hacker, and Yusei is a mechanic. Speaking of which, I updated the OP with these details. 1 Yuya Sakaki reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sendou Aichi 2,356 Posted March 4, 2017 Looks like we have to wait for a female protagonist again. Not really surprising, considering it is YGO. The most focus we had for a female character was for Aki from 5D's, who, after the first 65 episodes, was turned into a cheerleader to allow Crow to become the tritagonist of the show so he could shill Blackwings, because Komoney. After her, I believe it was for Asuka, who got some duels but got pretty much ignored rather quickly. 1 Yuya Sakaki reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sendou Aichi 2,356 Posted March 8, 2017 And more news: Firstly, we got more details about Yusaku: " a hacker who has the sort of sharp mind that can solve mysteries." So it seems Yusaku is a hacker Sherlock, and will hack only for that purpose and not for any selfish reason. I am wondering if he is actually hired by the police or something or he just helps in solving mysteries illegally. Secondly, it seems that the duels this time will have a gimmick as well, like Riding Duels: "Just as there have been a variety of special duels in different worlds and times in series past, look forward to what new kinds of duels will take place!" Don't worry though, I think we will get something more like riding duels that is limited and isn't an exploitable mess like Action Duels. Arc-V's ratings are amazingly low in Japan, so I doubt they are going to repeat that mistake again.

Here is a sample of his voice acting: http://img.stardust.co.jp/upload/banner/31/3137.1482730714.mp3 I am actually pretty happy with these. I really loved Battle of Gods, So the Director should be good. 5D's got really interesting after 27, and ZEXAL, aside from being very fillery at start(god why) with a protagonist that took a while to develop from an annoying brat, was amazing. It had my favourite rival too. Hara Kenichi's animation and character design is amazing(partly why the animation in ZEXAL was the series with the best animation). He also designed GX, which explains why Aoi's hair is so ordinary. And no Kamishiro or Ono. Thank god for that. Now, for info regarding the story itself: So the "SOL Technology"(pretty much the Kaiba corp of this YGO universe), a VR space called "LINK VRAINS", and it became the popular way to duel(kinda like Riding Duels and Action Duels) There is a mysterious hacking group, called The Knights of Hanoi, who want to destroy the AI World known as Cyberse that exist in the depths of the network. So remember what I said earlier about Sherlock Yusaku? He is pretty much the duellist who oppose him. "Playmaker" became famous in the Network World for crushing the hacker group, without mentioning his name(confirming that his VR alias becomes famous and people can't tell that it is Yusaku). He pursues the Hacker Group in order to find the truth of an accident that happened in the past. Also, VRAINS will air on May. However, there will be a weekly special in April, starting from the 5th, called YGO LABO which will take place on VRAINS settings. 1 Yuya Sakaki reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First thing that stood out to me was no Ono or Kamishiro so that's good. I also really loved Battle of Gods so that gives me really high hopes! Arc-V really lacked the dark elements that the other series had, specifically Zexal and 5D's. So I'm glad Yoshida & Masahiro can return Yugioh to that level again. Also, Yoshida screenwrote episode 151 of 5D's (where Yusei defeats Z-One) and 154 (finale) which is really awesome! The plot really excites me as well. It looks like Yusaku will be a really good duelist at the start? I'm not sure about that, but he looks to be very promising nonetheless.

Sendou Aichi 2,356 Posted May 10, 2017 So i am not sure how many people are actually reading this thread aside from Adam but... To those of you that don't know, the first episode of VRAINS came out today. and it airs every Wed at 18:25 JST. I still didn't watch it since subs aren't out yet, but they should be out soon. 1 Yuya Sakaki reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuya Sakaki 5,212 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) I'm gonna give my review on the first episode of VRains! Overall, it was a great first episode with a lot of action. It seems the writers aren't fooling around and are delving straight into the plot which is great. No duels in the first episode which is new for YGO. Interesting route. Yusaku is savage and badarse. The scene where he roasted Naoki sorta reminds me of the scene in 17 Again where the bully was roasted. Also Yusaku reminds me a little of Shikamaru from Naruto lol Aoi was a damsel in distress. It bothers me a little but it's only the first episode That might be redeemed later, hopefully. Bishop is a very mysterious and intriguing character, probably the most interesting of the episode. I suspect he might have ties with the Knights of Hanoi. The chess symbolism reinforces this (knight, bishop) The AI, Ignis (insert FFXV joke here), seems cool and funny. Tbh I don't mind his voice that much There were also multiple AIs at the start which a lot people have pointed out might go to other characters. Ignis might be the "chosen" AI. We had a Zoodiac Hammerkong cameo which almost confirms other methods besides Links. Despite that, apparently there was a tuner in the first episode of Zexal and yet not a single Synchro appeared entirely. But since Links affect how extra deck spammy decks play, I think it's a good idea to include the other methods. Again, really great epsiode and I'm looking forward to episode 2! Peace!

Sendou Aichi 2,356 Posted May 11, 2017 Damn. Easily my favourite YGO first episode. I came in with high expectations, yet it managed to still blow them out of the water. It combined what I loved about 5D's and Zexal's first episodes, from 5D's, we got the dark atmosphere filled with some action and introducing the protagonist really well ,and from ZEXAL we got the mysterious feel. The pacing of the episode was amazing, especially the shifts from action to humour when needed. The animation was great, so much that you can easily notice that Playmaker's face looks different than Yusaku, which explains how people don't recognize him(Well, he made his first appearance to the world in the episode, so there is that, but I assume people still won't figure his identity after he wins the duel), in addition to the fact that he doesn't socialize much with anyone but Kusanagi. Blue Angel's design looks much better animated, so much that I don't have issues with it anymore. It looks much better than the official art version. Yusaku's conversation with Naoki introduced Yusaku's character almost perfectly. I loved how savage he was and that he didn't give a firetruck about anything that doesn't involve him, like the Charisma Duellists. The interactions with Kusanagi were great, it was so funny Lastly, Ignis and Yusaku's relationship is pretty much the reverse of the usual spirit partner relationship we got in the other YGO series, it's great.

To be fair, everyone else there pretty much got their accounts deleted.Aoi would have been firetrucked if Playmaker didn't save her, but so would Go, it really isn't a bad treatment and she even got more screen time than Go lol.I really believe people are just over-reacting to this. The whole situation was mainly just to give Playmaker a cool entrance, especially from in-universe view: Playmaker, who was never seen seen on screen before and got famous for giving so much trouble to KoH, so much that the charisma duellists are really interested in him, just made his first appearance when everyone's accounts are getting deleted to save the day. The first episode also always solely focus on the protagonist and the rival/tritagonist.

Saying Aoi got a shit role is invalid And it has shown the other characters a lot more better than the other series, here are the important characters who got introduced in each series first episode and aren't the rival or the protag's first opponent, even if it was just for a couple of seconds: GX- Sho. We also got a foreshadowing of Yugi vs Judai, but I don't count Yugi since he is from DM. 5D's-Rally. Was shown a couple few times after episode 64, so he isn't even that important. 5D's has a lack of interesting characters, really. ZEXAL- Astral in the end of the episode. And you could argue he shares the role of the protagonist with Yuma. Arc-V: Gong and Yuzu. Both of them didn't do much in the first episode.
