Rezael did not disappoint, fuck! I really like how Rezael incorporated Angel Feather's thematics with damage consideration + miracle heal and Keter's generic calling for allies (another + for AnF since it technically "revives"). As much as I love my boy, I am most excited on the evolution of Vargas Dragres and its deck. It might be the generic Dragon restander VG, but the fact that you can utilize the retiring all front row rgs to your liking is so good (supports will make it better) and the fact that you can decide when to go all out with the Divine Skill. As Nao said, you can literally back your opponent into a wall since the skill can only be used when the opp is at 4-5 damage.
These Divine skills are both fascinating, I love the thought process behind them and how strategic they can be. Gotta say, despite me being team Rezael, I totally can't fault ya for being more hyped for Vargas, this was dummy cool lmao.
I like the duality here with these units and their design. Vargas is cool in particular as it has cool interactions with its rears which add nuance to it's skill, whereas a lot of Rezael's merit as a deck comes from the vanguard himself, with the rears more so serving as basic call and battle units. Great stuff, looking forward to both these decks, Rezael especially. Glad you love them too!
Dude I got serious chills when the songs start playing
So glad someone else pointed that out, music really helps to make a good fight and the tracks here are chef's kiss.
@@godsman00 Need the ost NOW bushiroad!!!!!
This is a massive blast to the past, but did anyone else get HOLY PROMINENCE PRISON and JUDGEMENT when they first went into the Divine fight scape?
Oh right the legion era gimmick! What a call back
That was a legitimate "gotcha" plot twist moment when the dude did not flip a Heal.
It was even well setup when he tried to 6 damage heal last episode, you'd expect it to happen this time.
Especially with how disappointed he seemed! That was so well played, I think we all fell for that lol.
The episode really hits all the nostalgia the OG season have
RIde animation with ride chants, Explaning cards during fights not to mention the better animation...
Divine Z is feeding us good
No kidding, it definitely feel fast but we still get a lot of the old school goodness we want to expect!
Loved the dragon. Absolutely loved it
Bro is so cool, the Divine skill is scary but tempered by the damage restriction, man he's cool, kind of a blend of various styles. David is NOT disappointed lol.
Sad she lost though but I cannot wait to male this dragon deck.
when the heal happened i screamed the theory about rezael healing came true and then when ost kicked in i loved every bit of it also i noticed that nao's wish kinda came true in a way if that makes sense
Such a cool moment! I wonder if the rest will be like that too, having their wishes be attainable by themselves?
Mc really said " Let me HEAL". I like that both keter and de are unique.
Keter is unique, for more trigger sacking but also risky that your opponent could just turn end at 5 making you waste the divine skill.
De feels like Armor break dragon with benefits now. 3 vg swing is scary if you give it an on hit skill.
Well idk the translation of the divine skill but it seems the skill lasts until the next time you hit the 6th damage so either way why give your opponent another turn to live when you can potentially finish them there. The DE already has a on hit effect which is the retire a rg so you can target the backrow.
@@jamesblue41the DE on hit effect is the rear guard ‘Winged Dragon, Pursueptera’ giving red text to the unit it boosts. Varga does not retire on hit.
@@dylan-Z-anson Ah, missed that, still without that it's already amazing on its own
@@jamesblue41 it was already offical translated to give until end of opponent's turn
Really feeling the Armor break too, heck even tempest bolt a little (V retrain when lol).
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised akina ended up dead since angel feather have a history lore wise sacrificing their own well-being for others.
*cough* Malkuth *cough*
i mean if later his sister's health gets worse to the point that she might be died then it make sense that akina need to exchange something equal to her life, maybe his sister will become MC in season 2 and find a way to save him
Amazing episode! but really rushed, I'd love if we had more characterization for the characters so each wish has the same weight. But ig they're doing what they can with the 12 ep restriction.
Nevertheless, realllyyyyy good episode, i love how those 2 fated units reflect their names on their playstyle.
It was fast for sure but man it was good!
I never would havr thought Rivalry of the Seven, but hey, I guess that fits.
We're only 6 here but it definitely gives off that vibe lol, glad to see a fellow kiseki fan here 💪
Rezael is AMAZING.
OMG YES HE IS!! Easy pickup M8, I'm hella sticking with this deck through the era.
By the way, have you noticed how Angels call other units? The original Angel Feather clan members came from Royal Paladin, and the ride deck here is part Angel and part Royal.
Which means we've been using hybrid decks clan-wise the whole time.
I commented this at the official channel, but this fight is what the later seasons of Willdress should've been start to finish. They have some bangers yes, but it needs MORE.
Liking Akina in this. Not too strong yet not too dumb as well, dude's still learning. A little bit tinsy rant regarding people's perception of Nao in this. Saying that she's ruined after this ONE loss.
1. Despite losing she's still so far best girl. Remember win rates sometimes doesn't equal good writing.
2. It has been 3 episodes, 9 - 10 are left. Her reappearing again is VERY likely.
3. Wish to become a pro vs wish to heal an ill family member. Apparently people having a hard time figuring out which one is more important.
And 4. She said it herself, she doesn't need the wish. Hardwork and passion is always key. And arguably she gets worse because she's way too focused on becoming a pro.
Tldr, yes it sucks that she lose. But to ignore the character writing and moments achieved in this episode over some win lose record, come on now.
Agreed wholeheartedly about Nao. In fact, if anything, her character effectively begins here, as now she's regained perspective on her ambitions and love for vanguard. This is a great setup for her to achieve in life but for the right reasons, and I can see her having some pretty big games later, particularly if DivineZ's plot pushed beyond the fated clashes. Lots of potential still here, especially because yes she is most definitely best girl rn! (Still rooting for my lyrical goddess tho lol).
Okay, so, here's all of my thoughts.
I've heard it said that Standard would have been better as a format if nation-based decks were a mix of clan trademarks. The first deck that really felt like that to me was Diabolos, Viamance Bruce (Pale Moon/Spike Brothers), though I suppose Thegrea would also count (all three Paladin clans). I still have a problem with not being able to search the deck for units we need, but I digress. My point here is that these decks feel like clan hybrid decks, with Rezael being Royal Paladin/Angel Feather and Dagres being Tachikaze/Narukami. If you think about it, the extra draws and the myriad superior calls are very much a Royal/Gold thing but calling from the drop specifically and heal effects have always been Angel Feather's domain.
Now, think about Nao's deck. Cutting down both front rows reminds me of Eradicator, Tempest Bolt Dragon. Shuura herself reminds me of Tachikaze's way of doing things, but there's a Murakumo aesthetic as well. If they wanted to keep going the Murakumo path in play, they could have a booster that stands and attacks from the back after the other rear-guard in the same column is retired.
I think we're finally beginning to see proper clan hybrid decks, and that excites me for this game's future.
Man if so the freaking finally
I really love the animations this episode, Vagras battleground is so beautiful and it really encapsulates his theme and I love the way they fluked us out with the parallel at the end of the tutorial fight but he actually grasp his fate and turned it around unlike that time. I'm super excited for next episode, Lyrical's my favorite nation and Megumi's my favorite, it's going to be a great episode regardless whoever wins or loses, although I do hope Megumi wins because she really pulled her weight in the manga post Will+Dress and there's no consequences plus she hasn't had a win in a while. What I'm predicting is that Mikoto won't showcase her Divine Skill next episode, I predict that Megumi will probably win before Mikoto can showcase her Divine Skill or she'll hold back and then at the end of episode reveal will just be one of Magnolia Elder's support cards that have already been revealed or they'll show Krysrain but only her regular skill, so they keep the suspense until her fight (or the Tuesday/Thursday reveal lmao). That's my predictions either way I'm excited for next episode, I've waited for Lyrical representation ever since they kept skipping on Himari's games (the Kyouka user in the anime), and now it's finally time
Krysrain I'm going to assume she's going to be like Olyvia Grade 4 from V Era since she's a mermaid
My prediction on Akina's situation is that if he loses a single game HIkari will basically die
Damn man that ending bit with the fox person really ramped up the sense of danger here, I really don't want anyone to die!
Also I'm hoping the Lyrical one is a bit more intriguing, as Kairi effectively fulfills our Olyvia play style minus the crit pressure, albeit you're talking about the V series one which is different so perhaps. Highlander would've been an option but that's weird with Petralka so it's just a big mystery RN lol.
Regardless I agree with the prediction, Megumi winning is most logical and they'll probably spin it like you said with her holding back. Plus this character did seem to have issues with self-confidence based on the bio so perhaps she holds back not out of discipline but instinctual reservation? We'll see, regardless I'm looking forward to it!
Suo looks like the one kid who’s gonna reach in his backpack at school
And just when you think it's a gun, it's just a vanguard deck. Menacing.
😢😢😢 my girl is gone. She better not be killed off like all other female characters in tcg animes.
Naw she's gonna stick around, if anything her character arc might just be beginning now.
@@godsman00 I'm scared bro, the way they set her up at the end is just concerning as hell.
@@scarlightemperor3410 hold faith my man, even if not this season I bet she'll get plenty once these Fated Clashes are over. After all, I predict these clashes aren't the end of things, but rather just the prelude to the bigger story, much like Will-Dress season 1's deluxe tournament.
@@godsman00 you right.
DRAGRES WILL CONQUER! AND GET VENGEANCE!!!
@@scarlightemperor3410 Ay sir!
Varga Dragres in premium can be nutty but takes a lot of setup
Riding him on top of Dauntless Drive can make him attack up to 4 times
1st attack with twin drive, as long as hand is 4+ disc 3 to restand
2nd attack with twin drive still, if the opp is on 4+ damage, use divine skill to stand and get drive +2
3rd attack with quad drive, then use Vagra Dragres' skill to restand with drive -2
4th attack with twin drive
That is cool, though tbh I'd rather just do Dauntless into DOTR. Still, cool idea I didn't think about, Dauntless is like bacon it's good with everything.
Imagine checking the OT the first time Varga Dragres attacks then attacking another 2 times for a million power
God yet another reason why Dragveda has unparalleled (pun intended) synergy with its own nation lol.
@@godsman00sorry forgot it's 4 attack's since the OT stands the vanguard
Rezael: Okay so, its got twoish abilities.
Returning all Crits to deck, getting an additional drive and gaining an additional ability once, seems cool, but feels like "your mileage may vary sort effect" you know? Does have some nice risk vs reward element to it though. As for the sixth damage heal, its nice that its any trigger not just automatic heal which I feared. Curious if it could activate multiple times a turn or if its one and done sort of thing. Hopefully 1/Turn so Akina doesn't become a heal hitting addict.
As for its on attack in the episode Akina calls up to two cards with grades being no higher than his damage. The way he said its hard for me to tell if its "less than or equal" or simply "less than" his total damage. But cool way to call with flex it you don't have a lot of damage. You can even call two triggers if you got nothing else and pop an effect crit back into soul if you really need it.
As for how the deck could evolve, you mentioned cards being regarded as crits and that's fine, but in my opinion that may cheapen the feeling of a "Miracle" if you could inflate your odds to much. They could go the direction of cards are regarded as lower grade under certain conditions so you can more call a greater range or potentially cards that inflate your damage count or just more card that care about the revival effect, depending on how they want to take the synergies. Another route is just draw effects, because in the episode Akina was running both Pain Killer and Prosperous Dragon, so if I had to guess Razael' support won't be drawing a terrible amount of cards in set one.
Vagra Dragres: Showed off two custom decks last month, and this guy feel like its a combination of those, mind those were a fast fop and a drunk tiger respectively.
Wiping out the front row of both players and +10000 power I'd says pretty fun and feels maybe 1/Turn considering Nao's attack pattern did not change to get her reviver to attack again. It first restand, probably a counter blast somewhere in there and a technical discard two if you think about your potentially retired front row. Its additional Divine Skill re-stand is pretty nice, happy that's it got a condition for it too so your opponent has some control over it.
Though I am curious on costs for this deck and the Divine Skill restand if it has timing restrictions, like it has to specifically be at the end of your second vanguard swing and also if its strictly Drive+2 or it increases/decreases the drive to 2.
Its support is already exploring where it can go with cards retiring on attack or reviving themselves for more swings or cards that are just immune to it so its a bit harder to predict its evolution. Will need to see how it goes through its costs. They could maybe put more behind the vanguard attack, I suppose, like a two or more guard restrict or more cards that care about battle phase retire.
I like the Razael analysis here, card does feel very involved as a unit with lots of potential in the game plan. I agree that throwing units treated as crits cheapens things, tho ngl they might just do that lol. I overall think this has a lot of potential just with the main skill alone. You mentioned the crits into soul which I like, I also kinda wanna explore self bounce more in this nation as that could be useful here, much in the same way Shadowcloak is in Zorga.
I think it's divine skill is a strict 3rd attack, not certain but it feels appropriate both thematically as it's pushing beyond limits, and mechanically too as this prevents Vargas from getting a potential 2 extra triggers to stack on for the -2 swing. But who knows, might be more involved. But yeah you're right in that this unit gets explored by the support pretty well right off the bat it seems like, super happy there!
Now let's hope Lyrical can match up lol...
@@godsman00 Other thing about Vagra Drages, just looking at the costs Nao paid, it may be Counter Blast heavy deck (which I know, shocker for Dragon Empire). She only Energy Blast for her crest and her soul is used for her booster to give her vanguard some annoying on hit pressure, so that doesn't leave a lot left for other costs here.
Also love Pursueptera here. Its such an annoyingly flexible piece, where you could have 2-3 vanguard swings in this, all with the same on hit to pop that pesky out of reach back row. Whenever I make a draft, it usually finds a way to get in.
@@calebjacobson3139 Oof CB always that annoyance lol.
Yeah same, hell personally I kinda like a deck build idea where future units add to this vanguard with minor effects. Doesn't seem like their intention but this card is a start.
Speaking of costs, Akina playing the cute soul charger suggests a potential need for soul? Hard to say how much though, I only noticed caibre eating soul so far, maybe it'll be a soul heavy deck. Lord knows Turnarr is easy and synergistic enough to solve CB issues pretty easily lol.
@@godsman00 Wouldn't say Rezael is soul reliant yet. Ffburi (the soul charger) was probably there to alleviate one of his rideline calling itself out, in addition to Caibre and Pain Killer Angel. Also probably to keep his grade count diverse for his revival effect.
@@calebjacobson3139 could be yeah, forgot Painkiller was eating soul. It's possible that Soul isn't called for so he's eating it with random rears but it could just be all of the above.
Rezael is sick. Also, Nao is already best girl and already got me hyped to play Ronin Dragon boi. Dude has the best of both Overlord AND Vermillion? This anime is cooking hard.
Divine skills turned out to be way more interesting then we thought lol.
I smell it now.
Quintet Wall mill in Premium to abuse Rezeal for a complete Crit Stack and going in for the kill with Crystaluster hand lock.
Legions ain't got nothing on this son lmao
Oh and I guess for the episode itself.
If he keeps using Rezael, death awaits him. Probably the most blank check foreshadowing they could do. But I don't think its actual death in this case just cause there hasn't really been anything in tone to suggest that as an outcome. (Unless they want to really give the viewer sudden whiplash)
Personally I think they go route of Akina being overly reliant on his Divine Skill and another fated one, (probably Dark States) countering it in some way, with a trigger nullification effect or something along those lines.
Ah I was wondering that too, maybe damage nullification like you said or (this is my idea) a way to put additional damage outside of attacking. Like imagine a V Gastille effect to put a card from hand into damage zone. That would be a pretty wicked counter ngl lol, although they'd of course have ways to hold it back from being easy .
Great fight, after the fated clash tournament Akina must find where are mass pruducing waifus like Nao because there's gonna be a place like that somewhere 😂
Ouch lol
Ok here me out.....both are amazing. Can't wait to see Zorga alche 3 orders //cope
Hyper Alchemagic incoming pog?
When Welstra's divine skill got its first reveal, I was like: "okay this is balanced and just a great set-up than straight-up kill"...
After seeing Razeal and Vragas divine skill "Welp, our boy Welstra got done dirty once again...at least for now"
After some pausing, both Vargas retire and divine restand skill cost CB and one of the rearguard uses CB as well, so CB management might be an issue,, that being said, hopefully that angel G2 isn't locked to Razeal (who are kidding, she will be XD), top deck search and +10K when attacking is great, when try to squeeze her into Youth and Minerva if she turns out to be generic
Hopefully Nao has more screen time in the future, otherwise sigh.....
Oh definitely, Welstra really has to hinge on the convenience of his skull cuz these other ones are powerful!
As for Nao, I bet she'll get more fights but I just hope her character feels relevant and noteworthy in the future more than anything.
We still not see what toures do the new 3R support of welstra blitz arms
@@ilovedentistry3934 fair
razael's skill is probably until the end of your opponent's following turn
Yup almost certainly
God I just want the set out now I want to play rezael so bad
Ikr! It's so hard to be patient at this point. Like I don't even know what my bespectacled goddess's Lyrical ace will do and I'm already FIENDING for more time 😂
Still I hope the other Rezael cards in the set are cool, deck feels like it can really deliver on that good ol keter goodness while bringing in the Malkuth side in a cohesive way.
Rezael is definition "I am healer but..." and Varga Drageas is the Ronin "omae wa mou....shindeiru" or "OVERLORD AIN'T GOT SH*T ON ME!!!!"Dragon empire multi attack king crown has been passed 👑🙇♂️
Truly, a win win lmao.
But yeah super happy here, just glad that despite it doing the 3 attacks like overlord, it has a few limits to keep it from being busted, but perhaps more importantly, from feeling boring. Methinks Bushi cooked here.
@@godsman00 Kidani Sachou definitely busy cooking on the back burner.
So the fated one are the cards themselves and if you lose you lost your desired fate and the crest that represents it
So in real life will they print versions of the cards with and without the crest
Oooo maybe like Bermuda language text or the Utopia number stuff in Yugioh? Nice idea!
Personally. I dont think aki will die, but rather his sister. With the healing he gets from winning the fated clash being an easier time healing from the loss.
It could also be vanguard nanako
Oh sweet Jesus that would be so sad though, that plushie better not be taking our boi for a ride...
Looking at the ed. And the death flags are starting to gain more weight in my eyes.
@@ultimatezed8177 big oof
The 6th dmg heal for any trigger is actually kinda broken, but also not since it's still conditional and just gives higher chances now. But the setup for that is tamed to since the divine skill only returns crits, so other triggers aren't included.
Also DE's fate feels like it can be abusable. We don't know the exact wordings for the skill yet, but Nao says the divine skill gives +2 drive on the restand. So if conditions have been met and opponent is already 4 or more dmg, can you actually use the divine restand first before the normal one? And does that mean 2nd attack will have quad drive or not? And would 3rd attack just make the drives zero or reduce it by 2 only. We actually need the official texts for this card cause this feels very abusable
Good question, another comment brought that up and personally I believe it's strictly a 3rd attack because this is extremely nuts otherwise. Heck effects aside, it also is probably a 3rd attack only by virtue of the theme of the skill which surpasses limits in a sense y'know?
Thankfully Rezael's skill is also tamed because it appears to be a condition only in effect until the end of the opponent's turn, so not something the player can do all game cuz ya that'd be lame, and we don't want our boi to be lame lol.
love he said you think going to loses I am mc lol
Rezael is top tier deck if you good luck but you bad luck Rezael is low tier deck
Idk the deck could be a good midrange is the call from drop skill is sufficiently expanded upon.
so like if the divine skill of dragress can get plus 2 drive ? then can we go upto 8 drives in a turn ? like vg atk with 2 drives > divine skill vg atk again with 4 drives > then use skill vg attacks again with 2 drives ? so like 8 in total ?
Seems so sice she couldn't the divine skill on first attack because damage is less than 4.
@@mate4997 watch closely, she could have but she just didn't for some reason... idk why, i guess she just lacks the skill i guess, no wonder she can't be a pro
After the first attack on the first re stand Dragres gets drive minus 2. So the second vanguard attack for his original skill is always no checks since he would be at 0 drive. The divine skill is once your opponent is at 4 or more damage so it important to note your opponent has to already be at four damage at the time of you swinging the second time then the divine skill will trigger allowing you to re stand/third vanguard swing and you just gain your twin drive back. So your only doing a total of 4 drive checks after using the divine skill. First 2 checks on first attack, no checks on the second attack and then another 2 checks on your third swing from the divine skill.
@@Risingvanguarddawn but why use the drive minus 2 drive skill first ? why not use divine skill first ? then use the minus 2 drive skill ? i know the divine skill is when the opponent is 4 or more but still if you can why not use divine skill first to get a second vanguard swing 4 drive instead of 0 ? that way when you will use dragress first skill on the second restand and lose 2 drives, you will still have 2 drives left y know
@@bakuraryu7773 There could be another condition on that divine skill that's just not shown or could be the first restand has to be on the first atk of the vg.
I really think Rezael is kinda broken. Vargas is just blue wave stride/Dragonic Overlord. Rezael literally manipulates the damage check like angel feather. Except, Angel feather only has 4 heals maximum. Rezael literally could have 16 heal triggers with other effects. Sure, its 6th damage check locked, but it's easily achievable especially if you have something that can manipulate the top deck.
Unless you have extensive OTT manipulation Rezael getting the 6th damage save is entirely down to RNG with every chance to whiff, and it is going to whiff more than it works. Even when it works, 6th damage heal is nothing new much less when it is telegraphed OTT has been doing it in V for a long time.
We don't even know yet if the skill is for the rest of the game, 1 time use, or a "until opponent's end phase" deal.
Well the miracle critheal is a lot more likely if you manage to last until your deck is thoroughly thinned and just cram all the spent crits back in. Still very sacky though.
There's a translation on Reddit which suggests it's just for the following turn that the skill is live, so imo I wouldn't worry about it because yeah the rest of the game is pretty awful for the opponent
This IS the vanguard I know! Wow! We back. 🤣 🥷 🐉. Does Akina’s life force transfer to his sister?
Ikr! Also perhaps, if so then the plushie ain't being honest with Akina here...
