The animation is so stellar this season... but can we just applaud Sophie's VA? She managed to convey just how lax and absolutely disingenuous she was throughout the fight despite being so polite and encouraging. Just the subtle pauses, lack of any passion, and the theatrical manner she speaks in conveys everything beyond and outside the fight; how she's holding back, how she looks down in others, and even how this whole fight was just a performance for her while keeping her cards hidden close. Mad kudos!
@@arkanamaster4961 That's amazing, because Kourin had an authoritative voice, but never really had much emotion as a character. She's blown it out of the park with Sophie and her vicious mocking, sly facade and dis-ingenuity. SO MUCH LAYERS.
"Your still hiding something" that's a feeling that sticks with you after a fight leaving a bittersweet taste in victory, I love Vanguard man and I love this series ❤
Now we can pretty much say that the things said during the fight foreshadowed the next match between the two. Raika: "What true colors are you hiding under that mask?" Sophie: "Well, if you put it that way… Would you like to rip my mask off?" Raika: "I don't need to. As long as you keep hiding your true colors, victory shall be mine." Raika: "Sophie Belle." Sophie: "What is it?" Raika: "You're still hiding something." Sophie: "Next time, let's play with just the two of us. That time, I shall show you my true magic."
they were talking about research and how she excels at literally everything. Reminds me of A.I lol. Maybe she's some secret A.I, that's why Danji can't feel any passion and Raika calls her not a fighter@@ZhadTheRad
24:36 "even though that thing has not been activated yet" Maybe some function Sophie has. Maybe I'm imagining too much because I just watched Wonder Egg@@ZhadTheRad
6:32 - 6:45 Tohya buys cards by the boxful and Raika is probably getting all the special variants with foil. This means Yuyu is the only one of three that’s actually responsible with money
Hi coming to you with news fresh from the last bushi stream yesterday, the songs; • He Said. - Yu-yu theme • Breaking the ROCK!! - Raika Theme • Future will come - Urara Theme • Vidhelvasti - Michiru Theme will launch together in a compilation album Vanguard OverDress & Will+Dress Song Collection, Release date is still TBA though.
wonder if she could have guarded Gust. I mean she must have known he was going to hit a critical with Gust because he was pretty dry the whole match and even drew a heal
I definitely liked this episode. Through out the fight, it gets more and more unsettling from Sophie hiding her actual self throughout the fight to messing with Raika and even insulting Michiru in front of him. Glad Raika managed to take the win instead of just Sophie destroying him in thier first fight, but knowing that she was holding back, the next time Sophie would fight Raika then he would definitely be destroyed by her. As for the rest of the episode I definitely liked it as well, from how causal Danji is about going and arriving on New York to the Dynamic of Tohya and Raika wanting to blow thier budget for cards while Yu-yu is trying to restrain them along with the entirety of Project Uniformers having the same feel as Stride Gate. Overall a very good episode that managed to get me hooked.

Oh well, can't wait for the Sophie rematch, I guess she learned to not push the Michiru button. She probably wasn't being serious this game, so this loss sets up the big rematch next time.
considering in this fight she only used 2 CB, didn't see any damage triggers and didn't use any PG yet was this close to winning... yeah, she's not bluffing when she said she wasn't fighting seriously. at some point in the fight, she even seemed to almost break poker face and call the fight boring
I think 30 times I've rewatched the fight, so bloody cool, her sarcastic voice and raika getting frustrated with him obliterating her with gust hitting a crit, the music fits perfectly with raika and Sophie when she hits crits on her last drive check. Bro this fight is vanguard perfection especially when we feel raikas theme happens whens he's going to win and when he loses in the rematch makes you think how strong Sophie is
Hearing Kourin's voice on Saturday mornings really is nostalgic ngl. Also DAMN! Did Not expect Raika clutch the big W so for that congrats my guy 👏👏👏👏👏 Also also, fight might be hype the real highlight for me is when our main trio at the cardshop just vibing and geeking out. Might as enjoy it while it lasts.
No kidding; I can easily see why she’s known as the “Witch of the starry skies”, bringing out the “inner” witch in her deck which is fascinating yet horrifying alongside herself; very glad Raika won but that was extremely dangerous, holy smokes!!! 🧙♀️✨💫
Bro, Raika was actually really cool for once! As usual, this is our weekly request for the amazing Insert Songs to be released eventually. Breaking the Rock, He Said, Silent Bark, are all too good to be left fully unheard. Finally, Unica is quite the interesting deck. Lots of really good payoffs, but also looks like it'll demand quite a bit of resource management. Depending on how the cards are actually planned out, it might be very interesting to pilot.
I loved the fight this episode it was more of a mental battle this time around but seeing raika humble Sophie was mad satisfying not to mention the animation haven’t been this hype in a while. I love raika and youthberk Also DROP BREAKING THE ROCK ALREADY
I always thought Sophie as someone serious, didnt expect the contrast of her mask and true colors. And she is said to be equal of Michiru and Raika beat her thats so satisfaying to see and his growth as well. And next we seem to Michiru vs Jinki and beginning of their Project Uniformers? Whats your thoughts? I simply cant wait!
it not really that satisfying she play around the whole fight ;c and clearly had trump card she didn't use. A fighter won't be pleased with such a win only when you win beating their 100% is it great.
@@hannals9347 True, in the end thats the "%100" she wanted to show in front of world. Like she said she will be real serious when they fight alone so we can expect a real fight of them sooner or later.
Oh absolutely! Yugioh is great, but it's mechanics always provide an out of any situation just by having the right card. You can always counter a counter, and you always just throw your best play for your deck at the moment. But vanguard has a lot of character in how luck plays a part and how people play around or anticipate possible luck; so different people can play the same deck so different. A choice made earlier in the game can completely change the outcome later on. I love that human aspect.
@@ruijie1961yugioh used to be good between the original until Arc-V, since Vrains I moved to Vanguard and it was fantastic with overdress/will-dress hold some of my favorite aspects about yugioh.
Since they didn't delve into it, my guess is that Michiru was Blackout's leader before Danji, and when the former quit, he just left the latter in charge
god we're only two episodes in and its already amazing. When overdress first started I had some concerns but it this show really carries on the original and pushes it even further. Can't wait for more episodes and finally being able to buy more cards
I always enjoyed the Vanguard Storylines, but this time, wow, like Im realy hyped to just see the next episode. Didnt expect Raika to win, they realy got me, Wonder what that Hydra thing in the OP is 2, looks super cool
I was really expecting Raika to lose against Sophie.... then again it is really implied Sophie went easy on him and wasn't playing serious.... and i get the feeling raika is aware of that
I wish she had won after all the hyping up they did with her being the perfect Fighter and the winner of the Deluxe tournament and implying that she's the big bad or at least represents the big bad this season. Even the assumption that she held back doesn't help when it's implied that this is the deck she's been winning with and that she actually went all out at the end, all of which could have been helped with one throwaway line from Danji instead of cliffhanger shot of a card sleeve. If it was just because it was Raika and Youthberk fighting, Tohya was right there and this was a low stakes exhibition match.
@Re: Lyfe Alternative look at the narrative framing: Sophie is an unbeatable player who lost in her first on screen game, she puts up a polite front that Raika tears down with minimal provocation, she was holding back in this first match with the deck she used to win the Deluxe tournament with no word from Danji about how she changed her play style. For reference, Yugioh GX did something similar with Aster Phoenix in season two, but it worked better there because Aster used a loaner deck in his first match and still almost won, embarrassed Zane in his second with his for show deck (which he didn't need), and then trounced Jaden when he revealed his real deck. Aster losing the first game still showed us he was skilled enough to push Jaden without showing his true strength, which was enough to toy with an opponent Jaden never beat. What did Sophie show us here while losing? Because right now, I'm more concerned about the other guy that's been tailing Yuyu and co than the US Champion that I'm not convinced could've beaten Urara on her worst day.
@@QueenMelody16 An Urara is already a prodigy who so far has only lost once against YuYu so....... A better comparison would be saying couldn't bet Tomari or Zakusa (who have the most defeats if i an remember correctly)
@Ian R. Nava Huber in universe, fair enough. I originally went with Danji since he was there, but changed it to Urara because of the Triple Drive (or Twin Drive +1) comparison and what people have said about Lianorn's performance irl.
@Re: Lyfe Alternative 1. What part of my argument is looking down on Raika? If anything, I implied he and Youthberk are too strong to take an L against Lianorn 2, Cosmic Boogaloo. 2. All of your arguments don't address that one of the season antagonists looks weaker for losing here. I am less concerned with her than I am with Sam and she was built up as the biggest obstacle in this very episode. 3. The reason for the Yugioh comparison was to show these similar narrative beats being executed better. Which still hasn't been addressed. My complaint has nothing to do with Raika's abilities as a Fighter, how a top player would prepare for a game, or how Vanguard and Yugioh are different games. My complaint is that the antagonist (or one of, at least) isn't being built up properly as a threat when all we have to go off of is a shifty follower and someone who loses in their debut. At the very least, it's more work that they have to put in down the line to make beating her satisfying (to me, clearly in the minority) further down the line.
@@stefanosalvador7514 I wouldnt call it madness but if I were Raika, I would be pretty annoyed when my opponent played around during fight. Its as good as saying he isnt strong enough for her to care imo.
Theory: Project Uniformers are special cards based on the Vanguard/Clan of who's using it, they're very OP, to the point of being barely legal in a Fight, and it also triggers something inside their User, something dangerous.
@@AlT-yk1sv same, I have a feeling its connected to the missing people. They were potentially abducted for data on cardfights, and the data serves as a similair OP power to psyqualia. I don't rlly have a clue y they would include people going missing otherwise.
The effect of using the trigger in reverse... It's really charming. But I was concerned, but like Taizo, the first appearance... Although it doesn't seem to have enough power in that situation.😮
When you realize that bushiroad actually trying to bring back strongest team.. Royal Paladin (aichi,/touya), Kagero(kai/yu yu) , Shadow Paladin(ren/raika) and spike brothers(morikawa/danji) 🤣🤣🤣
10:12 (Off-topic) I suppose the Kaguya-sama cast being in marching band outfits is something new to Weiss Schwartz. They look nice is just that i find the marching band outfits "as something really unexpected"
Of all the places to have a rodeo arena, why New York? Seems more like a Texas theme. I mean New York does have rodeos but it's not anywhere near well-known for them.
I don't know if this is fact or just speculation of mine... this is pure my thought when i rewatch WillDress S2. Mukai Jinki keep recruit people that got special ability like can sense card or smth like that, when Sophie Drive check you can see there's Zodiac sign star thingy in her eyes. If this was true then it all make sense why Jinki give Urara Deluxe invitation it's because she got some special ability that can hear card Tone or smth and he want to recruit her. They silver tongue Urara and she join them (At the start of the S2 Ep1, you can see the person that looks like Urara but using Uniformers Sleeve) Sorry for my bad english, but i hope you guys get what i'm trying to say

When you cut down on the card fights per episode as well as the general length of seasons you get more money to spend animating real good
That's what happens when you don't need to make like sixty episodes.

No. I think she learned to push the button. Doing so was what made him serious and confirmed he was worthy of her trying in the rematch.
If anything, she probably will push the button again as it seems to be the best way to get under his thick skin.
Sophie calling Raika a dog is both funny and concerning. Idk what to expect.
Dogs who bark and not attack are a joke.

Sophie's Persona Ride (Almajestar, Astrocea = Unica) looks like Echidna from Re: Zero
15:37 Ow, the edge.
It's been awhile. I love this show so much. So overlooked
Raika is literally the coolest character in the show
I LOVE THIS EPISODE!
9:22, I bet you this will awaken some weird kinks in vanguard players…
OH MY GOD THE OPENING IS SO GOOD
Better opening this season tbh
Same singers as the yo Kai watch jam ops
This episode made me more interested in Sophie’s personality. What are her true colors exactly?
uh...at 18:39 why did her song sounded like the one from GZ?
(The World Will be Silenced)
19.43 and 19.55 music fit the episode excelently
The effect of using the trigger in reverse... It's really charming. But I was concerned, but like Taizo, the first appearance... Although it doesn't seem to have enough power in that situation.😮
Can't wait for the next episode
damn ngl i didn't think raika would win. when his theme started playing i was like... Ain't no wayyyyyyy
nice, more will+dress!
That is insane fight
25:45 This Art Card look similar to "Hina" from Blue Archives. 🤣🤣🤣
When you realize that bushiroad actually trying to bring back strongest team.. Royal Paladin (aichi,/touya), Kagero(kai/yu yu) , Shadow Paladin(ren/raika) and spike brothers(morikawa/danji) 🤣🤣🤣
Broo that was a close game
I need breaking the rock to drop song is heat! 🔥🔥🔥
Of course Raika won, persona ride without glasses... strongest power move ever!!!
Hold up, the next episode is already called “The beginning of the end????”
i get it, crit symbols look like stars
man im slow
Raika, please play Sequana, I beg of you
Bro ikr
And wayward
So Sophie belle is the voice for kourin from vanguard then kokomi from genshin impact and now vanguard willdress as Sophie belle
Stand up, The Vanguard!!!!!!!!
Raika may have won but you could tell she was sandbagging during their fight
10:12 (Off-topic) I suppose the Kaguya-sama cast being in marching band outfits is something new to Weiss Schwartz. They look nice is just that i find the marching band outfits "as something really unexpected"
So exciting for this!
Of all the places to have a rodeo arena, why New York? Seems more like a Texas theme. I mean New York does have rodeos but it's not anywhere near well-known for them.
Realy miss the old vanguard series
I don't know if this is fact or just speculation of mine... this is pure my thought when i rewatch WillDress S2. Mukai Jinki keep recruit people that got special ability like can sense card or smth like that, when Sophie Drive check you can see there's Zodiac sign star thingy in her eyes. If this was true then it all make sense why Jinki give Urara Deluxe invitation it's because she got some special ability that can hear card Tone or smth and he want to recruit her. They silver tongue Urara and she join them (At the start of the S2 Ep1, you can see the person that looks like Urara but using Uniformers Sleeve)
Sorry for my bad english, but i hope you guys get what i'm trying to say
Ahhh release Breaking the Rock already!!
Can't wait!
When i heard raika ost is over
Is that kourin voice as actor
Yup
Do you guys chick the new opening because I sure did and it was cool and and very simple
WHAT DO YOU MEAN DALLAS IS ONLY AN HOUR AWAY FROM NYC
she let him win, she wants him to 1v1 her alone. They went out of their way a few times to subtly hint even raika knows she let him win
Now I hope he got revolform dust
Anyone else notice the Warhammer boxes during the card shop scene?
Wish we could get the stand alone youthberk theme released
