Duel monsters:Card gams GX:Card games in school 5ds:card games on motorcycles Zexal:card games in space Arc V:Card games on hippos Vrains:card games on surfboards
Then you'd think somebody would've probably made their Link VRAINS self into Yugi or Kaiba since they'd probably have been pretty popular if the old series were "TV shows" in the VRAINS world.
Imagine if the old people in VRAINS were talking about the previous ygo shows as like "Back in my day, card games were actually based on Egyptian stuff... and recently Yuya put shame to the show with his action cards..." xD
Wave 1 Yugi, Jaden, Yusei. Wave 2 Yuma, Yuya, Yusaku. A childish boy connected to a spirit through a magic neckless. A Supreme King. The serious on who rides a vehicle. Yugioh loves it's patterns.
You know what i notice about the thumbnail? All the Protagonist seems to wear dark color clothing while the Rival seem to be dress in white color clothing..... Is that just me or.......
There is a Spin-Off Manga that sort of serves as a prologou to DSOD called "Transcend Game". It only has two chapters so you should definitely check it out, because Kaiba actually created a virtual world for Duel Monsters and that very machine for the VR World looks like the same as the one Kaiba uses at the end of the movie to visit Atem
For the Timeline theory, I think that Vrains take place after 5D's and not after The Dark Side of Dimensions because the creators of Vrains said that Vrains take place over 10 years from now (meaning present day - 2017) and with Vrains and 5D's being very similar to one another with both series set place in modern day than in the far future like Zexal and Arc-V are. Also, 5D's if you look at the build boards during World Racing Grand Prix arc you see the date of which that arc take place. 2022, so 5D's take place during the early 2020's. Now with Vrains taking place over 10 years of now. Vrains takes place somewhere after 2027 which makes sense for the Vrains being on 5D's timeline because both series have more mature themes, both heavily focus on a new summoning method (Synchro for 5D's & Link for Vrains) and the setting of both series are nearly identical. Plus it wouldn't make sense if Vrains take place on the Zexal/Arc-V timeline because if that was the case then we would have a Link Dimension with a Link counterpart for Yuya and Yuzu (even though that idea would be really cool) and Zarc would a Link dragon along side Odd-Eyes, Clear-Wing, E.T.C. As for Vrains taking place after DSOD. I don't see it but there is a clear connection between them BUT Dylan I think you got a bit confused of DSOD being a Manga only sequel. Because the Duel Monsters anime is a adaptation from the Manga and the anime ending and the Manga ending are pretty much the same. Also Konami said during their marketing campaign for DSOD that the movie take place after the anime and the manga because the anime is based off the manga. The only reason why the anime and manga take different routes after Duel Monsters is because the people decided to create there own stories and the Duel Monsters manga ended awhile ago when GX was airing. So when GX was in the middle of it's series. The people behind the manga decided the GX manga will have it's own story. Different from the anime and that tradition continued with the 5D's manga through too the the current Arc-V manga. So yea, DSOD is both the sequel to the manga and the anime. Also forgot to mention, the only reason why the anime has filler arcs is because the manga was still going and the anime while still adapting the manga needed to prolong the show so they used filler arcs. Like the Noah arc and the The Seal of Orichalcos arc. (My favourite filler in DM by the way) However there is a connection with Vrains and DSOD with the digital sky in episode 3 being identical to the holographic sky in DSOD and with the Millennium Eye in the opening as well. You can't deny the fact that both Vrains and DSOD have a much more deeper connection. The same with 5D's. And finally, Dylan. It's too early for doing this timeline theory for Vrains right now. Lets wait till we're somewhere halfway through Vrains to get the bigger picture. Love your videos and Keep up the good work. MB Gamer31.
I agree with ya, essentially looking at it, it seems to be around 5Ds, even tho its been stated 5Ds was set like 100 years after DM/GX cos of neo domino city and studf like that, but it didnt seem like a 100 year time gap, in OUR time yes it seemed more like 2020, if vrains is 2027, its not weird to see xyz cards at all, zexal could be after vrains much in future and arc v seems not in the same timeline due to the different dimensions and legacy characters granted ive NOT started the XYZ/Fusion arc of it plz no spoilers
What I can tell you Zabazee without saying any spoilers on the Xyz/Fusion arc in Arc-V relating to XYZ's in Vrains is that with Xyz and Synchro's in Arc-V having their own Dimensions. Both summoning methods have to start somewhere and the only thing I can think of is that both summoning methods where most likely created at the same time. Most likely before Zero Reverse happen which cause the timeline to split in two and when that happened, both summoning methods also split as well with Synchro's branching to 5D's and Xyz's to Zexal. However, with the Xyz monster appearing in the first episode of Vrains. Many people think that we will see Xyz's more in Vrains and that will cause the timeline theory to be out of date and toss into the rubbish bin. But I have a easy explanation on to why there is a Xyz monster in Vrains where the timeline says that there shouldn't be during the 5D's timeline. It's because when Zero Reverse happen and the two summoning methods split, the other summoning method split with them. Meaning when Synchro's split to the 5D's timeline, Xyz summing join them in that timeline also but with much, much less importance than Synchro's. Same theory goes with Xyz's as well on the Zexal timeline. That why we didn't see Xyz's in 5D's and Synchro's in Zexal because they had very little importance in those timelines compare to the former. That is also why in Arc-V we see Synchro's more as well as Xyz's in the Zexal/Arc-V timeline when the dimensions split by Zarc. And it's only now we see Xyz's appearing in Vrains because (If my theory is correct) are gaining more importance in that timeline where as Synchro's took the spotlight during 5D's. That or my theory is completely bogus and wishful thinking. We can only wait and see in upcoming episode of Vrains if we see more Xyz's and maybe Synchro's and Fusion as well. But if we see Pendulum summoning in Vrains then throw my theory and the timeline out the window because in that case, I have no idea what going on anymore. We can only wait and see. Sorry if my theory is hard to understand. I thought long and hard on this theory and this is what I come up with.
MB Gamer31 I understand where u are coming from, but as how they changed the duelling board again, two of the 5 spell trap zones are highlighted as pendulums, which kinda shows that they will include it when they do the 'master' duels also we did see a glimpse of synchro in zexal even if it was a minor thing and nobody really noticed
They might used Pendulums during the master duels but I hope they don't because of my theory but with Arc-V using all summoning methods. They might do it again in Vrains, but we haven't seen Pendulums yet and will probably come up in future episodes.
MB Gamer31 since they introduced the whole link mechanic, the sole purpose was to slow down the irl game as people spammed synchros and especially xyz in a few turns, the new mechanic hence then means we will probs see them as the link mechanic changes how u summon them so if that mechanic wasnt involving all the other extra deck summoning methods then we wouldnt see them come in vrains, but since this is the case, they will possibly come into fruition, obvs its TOO early to tell as we are only 3 EPs in and heck we have had only 1 duel which was a SPEED duel not a master duel and also they just introduced the summoning of a link monster they havent really used the links fully yet.
I actually would find it more believable for Seto Kaiba to be the main villain of this series than Arc-V (before we knew about Zarc and all that jazz) I don't think it would be that much of a stretch for Kaiba to be one of the chess pieces and the creator of link vrains itself. You saw how crazy he was in DSOD, spending billions of dollars to develop technology that can recreate the pharaoh from his memories. What id he took it a step further and went on to found SOL?
I think you have a very good grasp of the plot for how early we still are. Nice job with the speculations! I'm very intrigued to see where they go with the colorful AIs, the chess tie-in, and the rescued kids. This show's been really good so far imo, and I'm glad to be following it.
During DSoD Kaiba creates Duel Links, which is also a real game. Duel links has 3 S/T and Monster zones, which could mean that it's a precursor to Link Vrains.
After watching this I realise how non-typical Vrains is. I really expected Onizuka and Aoi to join up with Yuusaku but they only teamed up for a few episodes before going their separate ways again. Second season of Vrains and Yuusaku only has one duel buddy. I really didn't expect that but I like it!
After 49 episodes, I think it might be 10 years after Zexal, where they advanced the AR vision to such a degree that they were able to create a virtual world like the one we see in Vrains. I'm going off speculation about the fact that Yugioh Zexal and Vrains writing director is Shin Yoshida.
VRAINS, Timeline, Funny Intro (LOL), and.....SETO KAIBA???!!!! What more could a yugioh fan ask for? XD But, currently I think VRAINS may be a different universe from the other timelines. However, it's early so well have to wait and see! Awesome video man and give yourself more credit man LOL XD
Wow. Mind blown. I honestly would probably die trying to figure out the yugioh timeline so standing ovation to you for trying. Also, that Kaiba is the main villain screenshot at the end 😂
After finishing watching: I knew this theory would involve Kaiba! :P Now, in all seriousness, a twitter user named Maidendays had the same "what if"(Shortly after ep. 2 was out, so it was even before) that VRAINS is linked to DSOD's timeline- The blue, virtual cards design, speed duels and how they resemble Duel Links(which he created in-universe), and the mental damage resembles Dimension Summoning. As someone who prefers it when there is a weak/non-existent link to the other shows(like ZEXAL), I would actually really like it, and it can make it much more interesting.
Konami should just do a massive 2 part movie(s) where the lore of yugioh cards and the normal universes collide and everyone must use powerful artefacts like the millennium items or the Egyptian god cards or the world chalice monsters cause they could overlap
Another awesome theory Dylan. It's kinda scary to think about what SOL tech did to Revolver's father to cause him to be in the state he's in now. I'm starting to believe that SOL is responsible for what happened in the past when Yusaku and the others got rescued. I also have a bad feeling that Akira is going to have a tragic death sometime in the future.
Definitely some interesting idea's scattered in there, be interesting to see if any of them end up playing out. If an odd new kid shows up at Yusaku's school or class all of a sudden, trigger the alarm bells.
I may want to add something about Revolver's dad. I think we've seen him already. In ep 3, before he logged out, Revolver was talking to some scientist looking dude, but when the alarms for the life support machine went off, Revolver tells him I'll be right right there, and the other guy says thank you. That implies he was thanking him for fixing the machine, meaning that guy was his dad.
Watching this video for time after Vrains ended. What a fun journey! We know how Revolver is. We know what Lost Incident is. Hanoi Tower Happened. Ignis war happened. Ai campaign happened. Where do people now think Vrains fits in timeline? I think it's cannon for original timeline happening after 5D's (can't guess how much years). Yusei and signers changed the future, witch was bond to be overwhelmed by synchros and destroyed in Maclord massacre. I think that this new future led to synchros having much lesser role and XYZ being discovered along the way (in the way not connected to Zexal) and then further development created various network worlds witch led to creating Link Vrains and Link cards.
My personal theory for the time line these days is the timeline of the spinoffs is always happening in at least one of the dimensions from Arc V and Vrains is clearly in the Pendulum dimension for simplicity. And because it’s a virtual world, everyone who Duels in real life doesn’t really care about Link Summoning, hense why Zarc wasn’t a Link Dragon.
One thing that eludes me is the end of the OP. After the four transform into beams of light, the dove flies towards the sun, but while it does, there's some sort of glitching effect on the screen, giving me a sense of unease. I theorise that the Sun is representative of SOL Tech. and birds seem to pop up all over the OP. What could it mean?
I think if you look at the backs of the cards it might tell you something, idk tho just an idea. I noticed in some later seasons they changed the designs of the card backs in the anime and it got me thinking about maybe you can separate universes based on the way the cards look.
all points goes to Kaiba ....the original series ....yugi and co. was traped in those capsules in virtual world ....meybe that was prototype ....since u see revolver comes out from the capsule..
I completely agree that 4 of the kids from that flashback are Yusaku, Go, Revolver(kusanagi's bro), and Aoi, and that the remaining 2, who will probably also get an ai, are 2 characters that are not revealed yet, because yugioh *never* introduces *all* the plot important heroes/characters at once. I do believe these 6 "chosen ones" will come together to fight against another group we don't know about yet, in probably the 2nd half of the show. I think the theory that revolver's dad is the revolver from 5 years ago would make a lot of sense ( especially after what revolver said to his dad, which could easily hint at him being the successor of the first revolver ) and I agree with this theory as well. However, I'm sure you've been told this by now, but vrains takes place 10 years after our current time, confirmed in an interview with yoshida&director. Great video as always :)
Great theory as usual. I'm with you for the part about the 6 children and Revolver, but not so sure about it being set after the manga. As much as I would love it happening, the writers seemed to have scrapped any form of continuity post-5DS. I hope your theory happens though.
Since I saw the episode when Revolver assists his father, I really thought his father was Seto Kaiba or Mokuba, who had a problem and his mind stayed into the virtual world. That's why, I think the time line is DuelMonsters - GX - Vrains. And after Vrains the world splits into several worlds as we saw in ArcV. After ArcV, the worlds stay in 4 dimentions. That could explain why in 5Ds there was no Xyz and in Zexal no Synchro. And there are no link monsters because the links stayed traped in the virtual world (we have to see if there are Xyz or Synchro monsters in Vrains)
I also related the game YGO Duel Links, where we can see the characters of YGO DM and which uses the same duel style of Vrains with skills and 3 spaces on the field, just after the movie DSOD, where Kaiba starts to develop a new virtual world just like in Vrains. Too much coincidens. What do you think guys?
I know i am a bit late but i had in interesting idea. What if zexal is actually connected to 5ds aswell? Remember z-One saying that synchro summoning is what destroys the world? What if there is an alternative universe (or even before the incident of falsification of history when yusei travelled between some dimension things) in which z-one sucessful removed all synchro monsters from the world? So monentum is gone, synchros are gone and no one remembers yusei or even the mechanic of synchro. So XYZ are made and it goes on and on until zarc appears and brings synchros back?
Based on the info given and how similar vrains and 5ds feel, i think you hit the nail on the head. Also, you remember the aftereffects of one duel on yusaku? what if first Revolver was captured and forced to duel until he got so sick he couldn't login?
3:09 yes the attention to detail is important especially in yugioh but would it not be possible that the 2 characters having the same haircut be a possible red herring and revolver has a different I.D
the "real" thing thats interessests me on vrains is will there be Accel synchro? we have in the manga synchro summon and we have speed duels and accel synchro is awesome
You mentioned the characters changing into colours at the end of the opening sequence - can I just point out to you that the colours refers to each character's costume: Playmaker is green and black Revolver has red as the secondary colour after while Blue Angel/Aoi has blue in her costume Go is mainly yellow with a black coat and a yellow cap . . . thing Right, on to the other matter that I don't agree with and that's Kusanagi's brother is Revolver. Episode 2 strongly suggests that Kusanagi and Yusaku both know where the brother is and is slipping into darkness (hence they are trying to save him). In addition to that, why hasn't Kusanagi said anything about this farther if it was the case that they are brothers? Lastly, Revolver has the same voice out in the real world as he has in Link Vrains. If anything this episode has taught us is that while you can change your avatar to look the way you want, you still have your own voice. I think it's still too early to make such bold predictions about the show as we have yet to see all the main characters make an appearance. I reckon we need to give it about 10 episodes before we can make proper suggestions on which direction the plot is taking us.
@YugiohEverything xyz monsters do exist in Vrains. We all know that, so it might be like in a different timeline or perhaps the black hole that brought xyz monsters to the zexal era also came into the Vrains era, I'm saying this is because we see zoodiacs, digital bugs, and evilswarms. 3 archetypes dedicated to xyz summoning. There might be a plot hole in this. Let me know what you think
Very true, and Duel Links was heavily promoted through the Dark Side of Dimensions. Speed duels are virtually Duel Links duels, they are all connected I feel
Yugioh Everything I don't know if you know this but speed duels where before duel links and vrains. Probably without skils and have a little difference to the rules.
PhantomDogman I think that Duel Links was showing the rules for VRains. And Skills are actually in VRains. The Knight of Hanoi used his OP Skill Double Draw.
User Name I am playing Duel Links (Have made one video of it). Forgot what my username is in Duel links because this (which I use on youtube) is to long for that (PhaDogman, maybr). I was talking about other games than duel links.
Good theory, another great video! Just one thing that i think that can help: Kaiba, after DSOD (and assuming that you're right and this story is connected to the manga), "died" and Mokuba toke over Kaiba Corp.. Then, Mokuba changed the company name, and decided to continue his brother work, modifying the Neurons VR system and the Crystal Cloud Network that we see in Transcend Game manga to the actual VRains system and Duel Disk system. Is that possible?
kaiba did not die the mske yugioh show pci if yugi kaina wortking on game toehr said it was 4 years after dsod so pci rpfo kaiba is alive 4 years alter
Questions. Are you gonna redo this theory anytime this year? Revolver's identity is already revealed a long time ago. Season 2 is currently running right now. And from how far I watched, the world of Vrains is the result of what happened at the end of Arc-V. Just my own theory/opinion.
It is heavily influenced by Dark sides of the Dimensions. Konami did make Duel links because of the movie and in the game there are similar rulings of the speed duels. DSD is connected to the original anime and with the plana changing history (another theory) this could explain similarities between the two. We need 10 more episodes to see more of a connection. If Blue-eyes Spirit Dragon appears then my theory is true.
Old Revolver's account was used by father something happen when he is on VRAINS and got damage nobody said yet account on VRAINS can't change sound or used by someone right?
Even in a a ref, there has to be a reason why the symbol is there in the first place. Also, if that is the case for the 10 years thing, would Vrains be placed after GX and before 5Ds?
I actually had the same Revolver's father being the original theory and it definitely makes sense, it first hit me when thinking about avatars like the Knights of Hanoi all looking the same and was solidified when we saw the Playmaker fakes and GO as a KoH . Very well made theory overall and I will definitely be hoping this is at least partly true!
Speculations doesn't hurt at all, so good for you, Dylan! The hair is very similar to Kusanagi's brother. But you'd think Kusanagi would know if his father was sick. I do like the theory that the father was targeted by SOL and was the original Revolver, and the son just picked up the account. I guess that all children's parents were probably targeted by SOL, and Revolver's father was able to survive somehow. It does seem that VRAINS is not on the same timeline as the other anime series. But it could be interesting if it followed up DSOD. Thank you for posting this theory! It was interesting :D
Glad you enjoyed phonepup! One thing I didnt touch is how Yusaku knows how to speed duel.. There is no way an 11 year old Yusaku was speed dueling.. So something strange is going on there as well. I just honestly couldnt figure it out
Dylan, I do not know bout you but I like to think that Zexal, Arc-V and VRains are the 2nd Yugioh Generation series. I'd like to hear your thoughts bout that! :) "The First three Yu-Gi-Oh! shows"(which are canon): Yugioh DM Yugioh GX Yugioh 5ds The second three Yu-Gi-Oh! shows"(which are canon to *each other*): Yugioh Zexal(Yugioh DM 2.0 - Really dark, awesome story, and DM and Zexal both started really slow) Yugioh Arc-V(Yugioh GX 2.0 - The main protagonists love and wants to have fun with dueling, they are both the greater evil in their shows, and the shows both have the goddamn Duel Academia xD) Yugioh VRains(Yugioh 5ds 2.0 - Starts off with A LOT OF PLOT ELEMENTS, "Card games on [insert a transportation vehicle here]" meme, so far the female lead is badass) So, if there is gonna be a 7th show, it's probably gonna be a Yugioh DM 3.0(i.e. really good). I think we are currently in the last part of the 2nd Generation of Yugioh series. Have a good one! :)
DAMN RIGHT WE DID XD but yeah i htink your ideas on the whole 6 kids thing was great, but even tho i lvoed hearing you talk abotu the manga i think thats a bit of a stretch lol.i think by around ep 20 more solid ideas will ocme around like u said
On the yugioh theory playlist the 5th video is privated, what was that video about? was it the 2nd part of the timeline theory video? if not then when do you think you might do a part 2 of it?
Great theories! Currently the Knights of Hanoi are the main antagonists but I think that Revolver will reform and join Yusaku and his friends like you said. But first things first, Yusaku has to become more open and friendly to others besides Shoichi Kusanagi. And I think throughout the series, Yusaku will learn that he can trust others like Go, Aoi, and maybe Naoki if he starts dueling.
I like to think that Vrains is a timeline where Seto died, just like in your proposed Zexal timeline - but unlike in that timeline, Kaibacorp DIDN'T get run into the ground. If DSOD was in fact the divergence point between the GX and Zexal timelines (being canon to Zexal since Kaiba very likely killed himself to get into the afterlife, but not canon to GX since he's still alive and kicking there), then here Mokuba still ended up in charge. But unlike in the Zexal timeline, Mokuba was a competent CEO, using the Neurons and Duel Links technology to help the company thrive in the 21st century. With Duel Links he popularized the Speed Duel format, and set the seeds for Link Vrains' creation. Link Vrains definitely isn't a must for players, as it was said to be a battleground for elite duelists, so Kaibacorp's good ol' Solid Vision is very likely still around; by contrast, Kaibacorp's fall in the Zexal timeline led to Solid Vision falling out of use and replaced with AR before Leo Akaba revived it over a century later.
When we talk about Revolvers true identity: this hair style has also Aoi. So its not clear about Kusanagis brother. I definetely hope that he isnt it because if you know the identity after the first 3 episodes its absolutely shit. It should be a new mysterious character who hasn't a role yet.
My personal take on this whole theory is that DSOD _is_ the point where the timeline split into three - the GX/5D's timeline, the Zexal/Arc-V timeline, and the Vrains timeline. Timeline 1: DSOD and Transcend Game never happened. Kaiba never developed Neurons or Duel Links, and Aigami doesn't become antagonistic (either because Kaiba gave up on resurrecting Atem, or because Shadi never saved him and gave him the Quantum Cube). Because he's not focusing on VR, Kaiba takes advantage of the worldwide Duel Monsters boom by founding Duel Academy (leading into GX), and his Solid Vision innovations allow Momentum and Synchro Monsters to develop (leading into 5D's). Timeline 2: An alternate version of DSOD happens, where almost everything happens the same except Kaiba never actually develops Duel Links. As a result, when Kaiba goes into the afterlife to duel Atem, Kaibacorp doesn't have a safety cushion and ends up falling to the wayside without him. Other corporations take advantage of the void left behind, introducing AR duels in lieu of Solid Vision, and the absence of Momentum leads Xyz Monsters to develop in lieu of Synchro Monsters (leading into Zexal). Of course, by your previous timeline video, the Zexal timeline manages to make contact with the 5D's timeline and eventually reverse-engineer Synchro Monsters and rediscover Solid Vision. The latter gave Leo and Yusho the framework to develop Real Solid Vision, leading into Arc-V's Original Dimension. Timeline 3: DSOD and Transcend Game happen full-cloth. Kaiba develops Duel Links, so when he disappears into the afterlife his company has a safety net that allows them to still flourish in his absence. VR dueling booms, with SOL eventually evolving Duel Links into Link Vrains. Link Monsters are central in this virtual world, but because Kaibacorp's Solid Vision was the foundation for the original Duel Links, Momentum was still able to develop in the real world (and with it, Synchro Monsters).
Except if it was in the past like after D.o.D then how come we never see link summoning or link Vrains in any of the other shows. I propose that this follows up on the 5ds timeline
I hope for future episodes they balance out plot and actual dueling, because at the end of the day. We come for both and not an unbalance between the two.
I search some info about this and I found out that VRAINS is like between 5D's and Zexal. well I don't know if it is legit or not but that's what I also think as well. Because of speed duels maybe it comes from the duels in 5D's. well I am also just speculating.
Random possibility since dark side of dimensions happens while GX goes on and in Jaden dream he remembers an event he learned about (yugi winning 2nd tournament) where kaiba wants to duel atem (in a stadium while showing off new tech) and could fall I'm timeline with arch and zexal tech wasn't mastered so why it wasnt used until vrains
dylan, i think that the six kids saved are akira, aoi, yusaku, go, kusanagi, and kusanagi's brother. i also believe that all the kids' parents were taken out by sol tech cause they found out they were part of hanoi and that akira's and aoi's parents survived the incident but then became ill or something like that cause of a attack led by sol tech on hanoi. also, keep up the great videos, they are amazing. what do you think of my theory?
honestly i feel like this goes on the original timeline b4 the original universe split into 4. i feel like VRAINS was actually designed to test the ability to create a new universe
why Seto Kaiba always being mentioned?? This is just my theory >Remember that Kaiba has a machine that can travel to the Past,and he showed it many times(Series and DarkSide of Dimensions movie) -->why is it that at the end of the movie Kaiba returns to Past just to battle Atem? Simply because he wanted to change HISTORY (which created the Alternate Endings /5D's and Zexal) ANOTHER >it is never showed that he goes to the future but he has a machine that can travel to different dimension) ANOTHER -->How the hell he got a lot of UPGRADES for his B.E.W.D.???I mean his ulti card changes alot in Appearance,effects,etc. i think he already made it to the future just to gather datas for upgrades to his ulti card And (HE NEVER SHOWCASED ALOT OF HIS CARDS) in order to defeat Atem and Yugi, but ended up never changing the entire future Conclusion--Kaiba is the TimeMaker manipulator here,starting from the past to the future. and hey, Kaiba Corporation is i believe the Ongoin Progress and Development of the whole YuGiOh Franchise history so Maybe we will never ever see some Yugi and Atem even in Y.G.O movies,, but definitely we will see alot of Kaiba in the next and Upcoming YuGiOh Series and Movies. ---by the way thumbs up for this video 👍
I kinda disagree that the sign that you spoke about looks like millennium symbol it looks more like digmon symbol jkn , great video man and great theory as usual
+Yugioh Everything YEY! Sempai noticed me!! (lol) I agree on thata case, i'm grinding my head on where or who are possibly the 6 kids... I'm guessing its between High School or (late) middle school kids. I didn't include elementary/grade school because if the current age of the kid/s is/are around that they wouldn't be carried of like that... BUT its just my guess...
I don't like the idea of Revolver being Kusanagi's brother, but.... I have to admit it's a pretty solid theory xD But wouldn't Kusanagi mention his father as he did with his brother? We'll have to wait and see! Seriously, I couldn't ask more from VRAINS, it really lived up to the hype and more! Awesome video as always, Dylan! And sorry, if my english is a little off xD
It makes sense that Yusaku and the other three are probably the 4 of the six children found in the woods. I also think that Yusaku and Revolver (the current one) are actually supposed to be close childhood friends. Yusaku says he has missing memories and there's quite a number of references and parallels to 5ds, specifically to Crow. First Revolver has bullet earrings, and one of Crow's nicknames is Crow the Bullet. It's also why after the time skip at the end of the series Crow's nut earrings were replaced with bullet ones. And in the original draft for 5ds Crow was supposed to be the Dark Signer that dueled Yusei (Kiriyu was supposed to be the one to duel Jack). But that idea was scrapped and you got the Team Satisfaction arc which barely fit in the 5ds timeline.
Dylan what do u say making some videos about the duel terminal quote on quote, universe, and the things that have been going on there. We got some info up until the point that Zefraath battles Infernoid Tierra, but then it stops. Looking from the design of archtypes such as zoodiac, metalfoes, dinomists, majespecter, crystrons, you can see one thing that connects them with each other, that being the True Kings/Dracos archtype. I konw you are no that into the game and dont make videos like this, but the story behind some cards(those in the duel terminal) is really exciting i think. Please take this in consideration. Love ya
yugioh the legend card game I want yugioh to end when it has 10 season.My ending opinion is to have all protagonist Yugi,judai,yusei,yuma,yuya, yusaku and the next 4 protagonist fight with a monster ZARC like that has all summoning method. Ritual,fusion,synchro, pendulum, link, and the next 4 season summoning method.
That surely is the endgame for the animes, have something try and destroy, merge all of time together. That way we could get all the protagonists in there primes to stop it
I like that a lot, but I still have an issue with Revolver having the same voice 5 years ago, because if that was his father back then, how would you explain that Revolver has the same voice IRL now ? The rest is flawless, as always ;) I'm so hyped for Yusaku VS Revolver in july, because let's be honest, it's almost confirmed.
We should also take into consideration that the manga for DSOD had Overlay Owl in it somewhere, pseudo-confirming Xyz Monsters exist in the manga yu-gi-oh universe as of DSOD. Some Zoodiacs were seen in the first episode of Vrains too. I think Vrains is a series reboot, set in the manga continuity and fully merging both the anime and manga into a coherent timeline. Arc-V could have been one last hoorah for the anime timeline. Albeit with a... less than satisfactory ending.
Actually you can take DSOD into account. It may follows the manga but still works with the anime. And adds a lot to the timeline theory: Just split the timeline/dimension after the ending of DM into a GX-route and a DSOD-route. There is a two chapter prequel to DSOD - the "Transcend Game" - featuring a Neurons VR system which makes a perfect prototype for Link VRains. Considering Kaiba was more interested in the dimensional/consciousness part of this system from the start, he probably dropped the idea of a VR world and went for the dimension hopping. So... maybe KC just sold/outsourced that idea to SOL. Since they are in different citys they even can co-exist. That still leaves the open end for DSOD with KC remaining in Domino, while SOL starts developing the Link VRains in Den-City. (OR while Kaiba's "lost" in ancient egypt, SOL took over KC. Both possible.) Did I miss something?
Great insight.. It's definitely possible that SOL is the successor to Kaiba Corp.. Very intrigued to see who the king chess piece actually is.. Maybe its Kaiba!?
Since there can't be enough Kaiba it would be really awesome. But I doubt that. At least now it makes no sense. But we'll see. And to be honest: I'm kinda not over Arc-V in terms of previous characters appearing in current seasons XD
Damn. It seems like no MATTER what Kaiba does, he creates a catalyst of events from somewhat good to catastrophic future disaters XD

I wouldn't be surprised if previous ygo shows are actually tv shows in VRAINS universe :D
HAHA that would actually be hilarious xD
Yugioh Everything This is the theory i support the most
Then you'd think somebody would've probably made their Link VRAINS self into Yugi or Kaiba since they'd probably have been pretty popular if the old series were "TV shows" in the VRAINS world.
They could be event exclusive avatars for top duelists or something.
Imagine if the old people in VRAINS were talking about the previous ygo shows as like "Back in my day, card games were actually based on Egyptian stuff... and recently Yuya put shame to the show with his action cards..." xD

There is a Spin-Off Manga that sort of serves as a prologou to DSOD called "Transcend Game". It only has two chapters so you should definitely check it out, because Kaiba actually created a virtual world for Duel Monsters and that very machine for the VR World looks like the same as the one Kaiba uses at the end of the movie to visit Atem

Ok. Before watching this. VRAINS is ~10 years in the future of OUR time. That's a fact. (from interview)
Thats very true, I completely forgot about that interview. So when I say the term "50 years" just pretend I said 10 xD
Dina dushi well vrains do have xyz in this dimension so vrains and 5ds are not in the same year.
Correct! If its after DSOD, it would be the same time as 5Ds, but a COMPLETELY different universe
so i was half right?
Yugioh Everything Wasn't DSOD canon only to the manga timeline?
Gonna have to rethink the timeline again, now that Synchro's will be appearing in VRAINS.
For the Timeline theory, I think that Vrains take place after 5D's and not after The Dark Side of Dimensions because the creators of Vrains said that Vrains take place over 10 years from now (meaning present day - 2017) and with Vrains and 5D's being very similar to one another with both series set place in modern day than in the far future like Zexal and Arc-V are. Also, 5D's if you look at the build boards during World Racing Grand Prix arc you see the date of which that arc take place. 2022, so 5D's take place during the early 2020's.
Now with Vrains taking place over 10 years of now. Vrains takes place somewhere after 2027 which makes sense for the Vrains being on 5D's timeline because both series have more mature themes, both heavily focus on a new summoning method (Synchro for 5D's & Link for Vrains) and the setting of both series are nearly identical. Plus it wouldn't make sense if Vrains take place on the Zexal/Arc-V timeline because if that was the case then we would have a Link Dimension with a Link counterpart for Yuya and Yuzu (even though that idea would be really cool) and Zarc would a Link dragon along side Odd-Eyes, Clear-Wing, E.T.C.
As for Vrains taking place after DSOD. I don't see it but there is a clear connection between them BUT Dylan I think you got a bit confused of DSOD being a Manga only sequel. Because the Duel Monsters anime is a adaptation from the Manga and the anime ending and the Manga ending are pretty much the same. Also Konami said during their marketing campaign for DSOD that the movie take place after the anime and the manga because the anime is based off the manga. The only reason why the anime and manga take different routes after Duel Monsters is because the people decided to create there own stories and the Duel Monsters manga ended awhile ago when GX was airing. So when GX was in the middle of it's series. The people behind the manga decided the GX manga will have it's own story. Different from the anime and that tradition continued with the 5D's manga through too the the current Arc-V manga. So yea, DSOD is both the sequel to the manga and the anime. Also forgot to mention, the only reason why the anime has filler arcs is because the manga was still going and the anime while still adapting the manga needed to prolong the show so they used filler arcs. Like the Noah arc and the The Seal of Orichalcos arc. (My favourite filler in DM by the way)
However there is a connection with Vrains and DSOD with the digital sky in episode 3 being identical to the holographic sky in DSOD and with the Millennium Eye in the opening as well. You can't deny the fact that both Vrains and DSOD have a much more deeper connection. The same with 5D's.
And finally, Dylan. It's too early for doing this timeline theory for Vrains right now. Lets wait till we're somewhere halfway through Vrains to get the bigger picture. Love your videos and Keep up the good work. MB Gamer31.
I agree with ya, essentially looking at it, it seems to be around 5Ds, even tho its been stated 5Ds was set like 100 years after DM/GX cos of neo domino city and studf like that, but it didnt seem like a 100 year time gap, in OUR time yes it seemed more like 2020, if vrains is 2027, its not weird to see xyz cards at all, zexal could be after vrains much in future and arc v seems not in the same timeline due to the different dimensions and legacy characters granted ive NOT started the XYZ/Fusion arc of it plz no spoilers
What I can tell you Zabazee without saying any spoilers on the Xyz/Fusion arc in Arc-V relating to XYZ's in Vrains is that with Xyz and Synchro's in Arc-V having their own Dimensions. Both summoning methods have to start somewhere and the only thing I can think of is that both summoning methods where most likely created at the same time. Most likely before Zero Reverse happen which cause the timeline to split in two and when that happened, both summoning methods also split as well with Synchro's branching to 5D's and Xyz's to Zexal.
However, with the Xyz monster appearing in the first episode of Vrains. Many people think that we will see Xyz's more in Vrains and that will cause the timeline theory to be out of date and toss into the rubbish bin. But I have a easy explanation on to why there is a Xyz monster in Vrains where the timeline says that there shouldn't be during the 5D's timeline. It's because when Zero Reverse happen and the two summoning methods split, the other summoning method split with them. Meaning when Synchro's split to the 5D's timeline, Xyz summing join them in that timeline also but with much, much less importance than Synchro's. Same theory goes with Xyz's as well on the Zexal timeline. That why we didn't see Xyz's in 5D's and Synchro's in Zexal because they had very little importance in those timelines compare to the former. That is also why in Arc-V we see Synchro's more as well as Xyz's in the Zexal/Arc-V timeline when the dimensions split by Zarc. And it's only now we see Xyz's appearing in Vrains because (If my theory is correct) are gaining more importance in that timeline where as Synchro's took the spotlight during 5D's. That or my theory is completely bogus and wishful thinking. We can only wait and see in upcoming episode of Vrains if we see more Xyz's and maybe Synchro's and Fusion as well. But if we see Pendulum summoning in Vrains then throw my theory and the timeline out the window because in that case, I have no idea what going on anymore. We can only wait and see.
Sorry if my theory is hard to understand. I thought long and hard on this theory and this is what I come up with.
MB Gamer31 I understand where u are coming from, but as how they changed the duelling board again, two of the 5 spell trap zones are highlighted as pendulums, which kinda shows that they will include it when they do the 'master' duels also we did see a glimpse of synchro in zexal even if it was a minor thing and nobody really noticed
They might used Pendulums during the master duels but I hope they don't because of my theory but with Arc-V using all summoning methods. They might do it again in Vrains, but we haven't seen Pendulums yet and will probably come up in future episodes.
MB Gamer31 since they introduced the whole link mechanic, the sole purpose was to slow down the irl game as people spammed synchros and especially xyz in a few turns, the new mechanic hence then means we will probs see them as the link mechanic changes how u summon them so if that mechanic wasnt involving all the other extra deck summoning methods then we wouldnt see them come in vrains, but since this is the case, they will possibly come into fruition, obvs its TOO early to tell as we are only 3 EPs in and heck we have had only 1 duel which was a SPEED duel not a master duel and also they just introduced the summoning of a link monster they havent really used the links fully yet.
I actually would find it more believable for Seto Kaiba to be the main villain of this series than Arc-V (before we knew about Zarc and all that jazz)
I don't think it would be that much of a stretch for Kaiba to be one of the chess pieces and the creator of link vrains itself. You saw how crazy he was in DSOD, spending billions of dollars to develop technology that can recreate the pharaoh from his memories. What id he took it a step further and went on to found SOL?
Could you imagine if he's the king chess piece!? Maybe thats a theory for you to tackle ;D
Kaiba doesn't care about stuff like this. The only thing he cares about is his honor lol.
Yugioh Everything lol time for me to spill some tea xD
Ant Cotz I think Kaiba would hate to it because he hates chess because of his father...
Niko2i If we go by that philosophy then Jean Michel Roger is 1000000% the villain because he loves chess 😜
I think you have a very good grasp of the plot for how early we still are. Nice job with the speculations!
I'm very intrigued to see where they go with the colorful AIs, the chess tie-in, and the rescued kids.
This show's been really good so far imo, and I'm glad to be following it.
What if vrains is a separate universe then kiaba traveled to vrains and took there technology to create the duel disks from dark side of dimensions
During DSoD Kaiba creates Duel Links, which is also a real game. Duel links has 3 S/T and Monster zones, which could mean that it's a precursor to Link Vrains.
yeah, yu gu oh pretty confusing
After watching this I realise how non-typical Vrains is. I really expected Onizuka and Aoi to join up with Yuusaku but they only teamed up for a few episodes before going their separate ways again. Second season of Vrains and Yuusaku only has one duel buddy. I really didn't expect that but I like it!
After 49 episodes, I think it might be 10 years after Zexal, where they advanced the AR vision to such a degree that they were able to create a virtual world like the one we see in Vrains. I'm going off speculation about the fact that Yugioh Zexal and Vrains writing director is Shin Yoshida.
VRAINS, Timeline, Funny Intro (LOL), and.....SETO KAIBA???!!!! What more could a yugioh fan ask for? XD But, currently I think VRAINS may be a different universe from the other timelines. However, it's early so well have to wait and see! Awesome video man and give yourself more credit man LOL XD
Wow. Mind blown. I honestly would probably die trying to figure out the yugioh timeline so standing ovation to you for trying. Also, that Kaiba is the main villain screenshot at the end 😂
After finishing watching:
I knew this theory would involve Kaiba! :P
Now, in all seriousness, a twitter user named Maidendays had the same "what if"(Shortly after ep. 2 was out, so it was even before) that VRAINS is linked to DSOD's timeline- The blue, virtual cards design, speed duels and how they resemble Duel Links(which he created in-universe), and the mental damage resembles Dimension Summoning.
As someone who prefers it when there is a weak/non-existent link to the other shows(like ZEXAL), I would actually really like it, and it can make it much more interesting.
When are you going to make the new timeline theory video?
Your theories never cease to intrigue me. I think so far Vrains has been one of the more interesting spin-offs. And also that Reiji age tho???
Konami should just do a massive 2 part movie(s) where the lore of yugioh cards and the normal universes collide and everyone must use powerful artefacts like the millennium items or the Egyptian god cards or the world chalice monsters cause they could overlap
I'm just going leave this here
yusaku= sword art online
aou=alfheim online
revolver= gun gale online
pretty much
Aura dragon1 Interesting.
no
Aura dragon1 except way better written than that overated mess
That make sense can you guess who the main character related to
I truly hope when the show is done you explain everything to me
Another awesome theory Dylan. It's kinda scary to think about what SOL tech did to Revolver's father to cause him to be in the state he's in now. I'm starting to believe that SOL is responsible for what happened in the past when Yusaku and the others got rescued. I also have a bad feeling that Akira is going to have a tragic death sometime in the future.
Are you going to make a video about the timeline placement/relation of Sevens?
Watching this a year later makes me realize how wrong this is. Still a great video.
Definitely some interesting idea's scattered in there, be interesting to see if any of them end up playing out.
If an odd new kid shows up at Yusaku's school or class all of a sudden, trigger the alarm bells.
I may want to add something about Revolver's dad. I think we've seen him already. In ep 3, before he logged out, Revolver was talking to some scientist looking dude, but when the alarms for the life support machine went off, Revolver tells him I'll be right right there, and the other guy says thank you. That implies he was thanking him for fixing the machine, meaning that guy was his dad.
Plot twist Kaiba died at the end of DSOD and Sol Tech took over KC and now we have VRAINS!
Watching this video for time after Vrains ended. What a fun journey! We know how Revolver is. We know what Lost Incident is. Hanoi Tower Happened. Ignis war happened. Ai campaign happened. Where do people now think Vrains fits in timeline? I think it's cannon for original timeline happening after 5D's (can't guess how much years). Yusei and signers changed the future, witch was bond to be overwhelmed by synchros and destroyed in Maclord massacre. I think that this new future led to synchros having much lesser role and XYZ being discovered along the way (in the way not connected to Zexal) and then further development created various network worlds witch led to creating Link Vrains and Link cards.
My personal theory for the time line these days is the timeline of the spinoffs is always happening in at least one of the dimensions from Arc V and Vrains is clearly in the Pendulum dimension for simplicity. And because it’s a virtual world, everyone who Duels in real life doesn’t really care about Link Summoning, hense why Zarc wasn’t a Link Dragon.
One thing that eludes me is the end of the OP. After the four transform into beams of light, the dove flies towards the sun, but while it does, there's some sort of glitching effect on the screen, giving me a sense of unease. I theorise that the Sun is representative of SOL Tech. and birds seem to pop up all over the OP. What could it mean?
JKA FTW someone gonna die
I think if you look at the backs of the cards it might tell you something, idk tho just an idea. I noticed in some later seasons they changed the designs of the card backs in the anime and it got me thinking about maybe you can separate universes based on the way the cards look.
"Yu-Gi-Oh rarely shows all their cards early in the show"
Pun intended?
Kaiba!
He's still the man after all these years
all points goes to Kaiba ....the original series ....yugi and co. was traped in those capsules in virtual world ....meybe that was prototype ....since u see revolver comes out from the capsule..
If I am to make a suggestion what if ark-V is a post bonds beyond time timeline after zexal and vrains is a pre split alt timeline after zexal
I completely agree that 4 of the kids from that flashback are Yusaku, Go, Revolver(kusanagi's bro), and Aoi, and that the remaining 2, who will probably also get an ai, are 2 characters that are not revealed yet, because yugioh *never* introduces *all* the plot important heroes/characters at once. I do believe these 6 "chosen ones" will come together to fight against another group we don't know about yet, in probably the 2nd half of the show. I think the theory that revolver's dad is the revolver from 5 years ago would make a lot of sense ( especially after what revolver said to his dad, which could easily hint at him being the successor of the first revolver ) and I agree with this theory as well. However, I'm sure you've been told this by now, but vrains takes place 10 years after our current time, confirmed in an interview with yoshida&director. Great video as always :)
Great theory as usual. I'm with you for the part about the 6 children and Revolver, but not so sure about it being set after the manga. As much as I would love it happening, the writers seemed to have scrapped any form of continuity post-5DS. I hope your theory happens though.
Since I saw the episode when Revolver assists his father, I really thought his father was Seto Kaiba or Mokuba, who had a problem and his mind stayed into the virtual world. That's why, I think the time line is DuelMonsters - GX - Vrains. And after Vrains the world splits into several worlds as we saw in ArcV. After ArcV, the worlds stay in 4 dimentions. That could explain why in 5Ds there was no Xyz and in Zexal no Synchro. And there are no link monsters because the links stayed traped in the virtual world (we have to see if there are Xyz or Synchro monsters in Vrains)
I also related the game YGO Duel Links, where we can see the characters of YGO DM and which uses the same duel style of Vrains with skills and 3 spaces on the field, just after the movie DSOD, where Kaiba starts to develop a new virtual world just like in Vrains. Too much coincidens. What do you think guys?
I know i am a bit late but i had in interesting idea. What if zexal is actually connected to 5ds aswell? Remember z-One saying that synchro summoning is what destroys the world? What if there is an alternative universe (or even before the incident of falsification of history when yusei travelled between some dimension things) in which z-one sucessful removed all synchro monsters from the world? So monentum is gone, synchros are gone and no one remembers yusei or even the mechanic of synchro. So XYZ are made and it goes on and on until zarc appears and brings synchros back?
noop as jaden in the king in og timeline so hwo wodo zarc be the king as iwll yubel wood not let him go rogue if that was case
This is basically the theory that spell commander maked.
Here the link of the video th-cam.com/video/H0EJfB1Vo0E/w-d-xo.html
Based on the info given and how similar vrains and 5ds feel, i think you hit the nail on the head. Also, you remember the aftereffects of one duel on yusaku? what if first Revolver was captured and forced to duel until he got so sick he couldn't login?
3:09 yes the attention to detail is important especially in yugioh but would it not be possible that the 2 characters having the same haircut be a possible red herring and revolver has a different I.D
Remember, the Japanese Sub of DSoD says that Kaiba rules as a virtual dictator, monitoring everything in Domino City.
3 reasons why I enjoyed this video:
1. Dylan of course
2. it's about VRAINS
3. He drew comparisons to 5Ds
Thanks Dev, I see these 3 reason comments all the time now, I love it xD
the victims: Aoi Zaizen's childhood friend, Kusonagi's brother, Yusaku, soul burner, spectre, and unnamed kid.
well this theory bites the dust for revolver at least
the "real" thing thats interessests me on vrains is will there be Accel synchro? we have in the manga synchro summon and we have speed duels and accel synchro is awesome
Guess we'll have to wait and see! :D
aww, somehow I still hope that Vrains is connected to the other shows. I love continuity :/
Me too! Lets just wait and see!
Yugioh Everything at the end of the series that wasn’t the case
Nice theory of the different timelines....
Thank you! :D
You mentioned the characters changing into colours at the end of the opening sequence - can I just point out to you that the colours refers to each character's costume:
Playmaker is green and black
Revolver has red as the secondary colour after while
Blue Angel/Aoi has blue in her costume
Go is mainly yellow with a black coat and a yellow cap . . . thing
Right, on to the other matter that I don't agree with and that's Kusanagi's brother is Revolver. Episode 2 strongly suggests that Kusanagi and Yusaku both know where the brother is and is slipping into darkness (hence they are trying to save him). In addition to that, why hasn't Kusanagi said anything about this farther if it was the case that they are brothers? Lastly, Revolver has the same voice out in the real world as he has in Link Vrains. If anything this episode has taught us is that while you can change your avatar to look the way you want, you still have your own voice.
I think it's still too early to make such bold predictions about the show as we have yet to see all the main characters make an appearance. I reckon we need to give it about 10 episodes before we can make proper suggestions on which direction the plot is taking us.
@YugiohEverything xyz monsters do exist in Vrains. We all know that, so it might be like in a different timeline or perhaps the black hole that brought xyz monsters to the zexal era also came into the Vrains era, I'm saying this is because we see zoodiacs, digital bugs, and evilswarms. 3 archetypes dedicated to xyz summoning. There might be a plot hole in this. Let me know what you think
Also Duel links background is similar to thise thing.
Very true, and Duel Links was heavily promoted through the Dark Side of Dimensions. Speed duels are virtually Duel Links duels, they are all connected I feel
Yugioh Everything I don't know if you know this but speed duels where before duel links and vrains. Probably without skils and have a little difference to the rules.
have you played duel links ? Skills make a HUGE DIFFERENCE
PhantomDogman I think that Duel Links was showing the rules for VRains. And Skills are actually in VRains. The Knight of Hanoi used his OP Skill Double Draw.
User Name I am playing Duel Links (Have made one video of it). Forgot what my username is in Duel links because this (which I use on youtube) is to long for that (PhaDogman, maybr). I was talking about other games than duel links.
Good theory, another great video! Just one thing that i think that can help:
Kaiba, after DSOD (and assuming that you're right and this story is connected to the manga), "died" and Mokuba toke over Kaiba Corp.. Then, Mokuba changed the company name, and decided to continue his brother work, modifying the Neurons VR system and the Crystal Cloud Network that we see in Transcend Game manga to the actual VRains system and Duel Disk system. Is that possible?
kaiba did not die the mske yugioh show pci if yugi kaina wortking on game toehr said it was 4 years after dsod so pci rpfo kaiba is alive 4 years alter
Also, great theory! I honestly hope at least some of this true. Really cool twists that imo Yugioh hasn't done enough of.
Thank you ASW! I hope so too, just gonna have to wait and see!
Questions. Are you gonna redo this theory anytime this year?
Revolver's identity is already revealed a long time ago. Season 2 is currently running right now. And from how far I watched, the world of Vrains is the result of what happened at the end of Arc-V.
Just my own theory/opinion.
I believe Vrains is in Zexal timeline the alternative time where Zone destroyed Synchros. Cause The timeline where Yusei saved it is Arc V.
no arc v jack dos not have red nova dragon nor dos hwe no yusei so not the some timelien as arc v
It is heavily influenced by Dark sides of the Dimensions. Konami did make Duel links because of the movie and in the game there are similar rulings of the speed duels. DSD is connected to the original anime and with the plana changing history (another theory) this could
explain similarities between the two. We need 10 more episodes to see more of a connection. If Blue-eyes Spirit Dragon appears then my theory is true.
Old Revolver's account was used by father something happen when he is on VRAINS and got damage
nobody said yet account on VRAINS can't change sound or used by someone right?
Correct! At the moment everything seems possible, we know very little about the rules and logistics of avatars and such
Other note this avatar not limited to human form can become plot later
Hmmm maybe animal also can use avatar and go to VRAINS too?
Even in a a ref, there has to be a reason why the symbol is there in the first place.
Also, if that is the case for the 10 years thing, would Vrains be placed after GX and before 5Ds?
I actually had the same Revolver's father being the original theory and it definitely makes sense, it first hit me when thinking about avatars like the Knights of Hanoi all looking the same and was solidified when we saw the Playmaker fakes and GO as a KoH . Very well made theory overall and I will definitely be hoping this is at least partly true!
Thank you Jode! Yes, we will just have to wait and see what comes true and what doesnt come true!
Speculations doesn't hurt at all, so good for you, Dylan!
The hair is very similar to Kusanagi's brother. But you'd think Kusanagi would know if his father was sick. I do like the theory that the father was targeted by SOL and was the original Revolver, and the son just picked up the account.
I guess that all children's parents were probably targeted by SOL, and Revolver's father was able to survive somehow.
It does seem that VRAINS is not on the same timeline as the other anime series. But it could be interesting if it followed up DSOD.
Thank you for posting this theory! It was interesting :D
Glad you enjoyed phonepup!
One thing I didnt touch is how Yusaku knows how to speed duel.. There is no way an 11 year old Yusaku was speed dueling.. So something strange is going on there as well. I just honestly couldnt figure it out
Thank you!
That's a good point as well.
Maybe his father speed dueled, and young Yusaku watched? But they are kinda dangerous for kids to watch....
phonepup_Mk8 maybe Kusunagi thinks his father was killed (since the other parents likely were) when his brother was taken
Ah, good point.
Yugioh Everything Yusaku doesn't know how to Speed Duel. Ignis has to tell him what a Speed Duel is and he picks up from there.
there are Zoodiacs in Vrains which are xyz's so it should be on the timeline atleast perhaps at some point after Arc5 the timelines come together
Unless on the manga timeline XYZ summoning was also discovered at some point. But yeah, we just gotta wait and see!
Dylan, I do not know bout you but I like to think that Zexal, Arc-V and VRains are the 2nd Yugioh Generation series.
I'd like to hear your thoughts bout that! :)
"The First three Yu-Gi-Oh! shows"(which are canon):

So, if there is gonna be a 7th show, it's probably gonna be a Yugioh DM 3.0(i.e. really good). I think we are currently in the last part of the 2nd Generation of Yugioh series.
Have a good one! :)
lol let's wait and see how many subs this pulls in XD
I htink you have some good ideas here, but i think youre a tad crazy for doing it so soon XD
THE PEOPLE DESERVED A THEORY.
Yeah it is very early for something like this. But lets see how things play out! :D
DAMN RIGHT WE DID XD
but yeah i htink your ideas on the whole 6 kids thing was great, but even tho i lvoed hearing you talk abotu the manga i think thats a bit of a stretch lol.i think by around ep 20 more solid ideas will ocme around like u said
On the yugioh theory playlist the 5th video is privated, what was that video about? was it the 2nd part of the timeline theory video? if not then when do you think you might do a part 2 of it?
Great theories! Currently the Knights of Hanoi are the main antagonists but I think that Revolver will reform and join Yusaku and his friends like you said. But first things first, Yusaku has to become more open and friendly to others besides Shoichi Kusanagi. And I think throughout the series, Yusaku will learn that he can trust others like Go, Aoi, and maybe Naoki if he starts dueling.
Thank you Sunny! Yeah Yusaku will definitely open up as the series goes on!
Revolvers successor... oh literally as I was typing this you brought it up XD
I like to think that Vrains is a timeline where Seto died, just like in your proposed Zexal timeline - but unlike in that timeline, Kaibacorp DIDN'T get run into the ground.
If DSOD was in fact the divergence point between the GX and Zexal timelines (being canon to Zexal since Kaiba very likely killed himself to get into the afterlife, but not canon to GX since he's still alive and kicking there), then here Mokuba still ended up in charge. But unlike in the Zexal timeline, Mokuba was a competent CEO, using the Neurons and Duel Links technology to help the company thrive in the 21st century. With Duel Links he popularized the Speed Duel format, and set the seeds for Link Vrains' creation. Link Vrains definitely isn't a must for players, as it was said to be a battleground for elite duelists, so Kaibacorp's good ol' Solid Vision is very likely still around; by contrast, Kaibacorp's fall in the Zexal timeline led to Solid Vision falling out of use and replaced with AR before Leo Akaba revived it over a century later.
When we talk about Revolvers true identity: this hair style has also Aoi. So its not clear about Kusanagis brother. I definetely hope that he isnt it because if you know the identity after the first 3 episodes its absolutely shit. It should be a new mysterious character who hasn't a role yet.
It would be cool if revolver or what his name is is Yuma like that would be sick
yeah this would be really brainfucking xD
Exciting and interesting
Thank you, and thank you! :D
My god that opening minute Dylan.....
;) xD
Yugioh Everything but didn't Ghostly love your channel so much that he went in a rampage through Discord ;)
My personal take on this whole theory is that DSOD _is_ the point where the timeline split into three - the GX/5D's timeline, the Zexal/Arc-V timeline, and the Vrains timeline.
Timeline 1: DSOD and Transcend Game never happened. Kaiba never developed Neurons or Duel Links, and Aigami doesn't become antagonistic (either because Kaiba gave up on resurrecting Atem, or because Shadi never saved him and gave him the Quantum Cube). Because he's not focusing on VR, Kaiba takes advantage of the worldwide Duel Monsters boom by founding Duel Academy (leading into GX), and his Solid Vision innovations allow Momentum and Synchro Monsters to develop (leading into 5D's).
Timeline 2: An alternate version of DSOD happens, where almost everything happens the same except Kaiba never actually develops Duel Links. As a result, when Kaiba goes into the afterlife to duel Atem, Kaibacorp doesn't have a safety cushion and ends up falling to the wayside without him. Other corporations take advantage of the void left behind, introducing AR duels in lieu of Solid Vision, and the absence of Momentum leads Xyz Monsters to develop in lieu of Synchro Monsters (leading into Zexal). Of course, by your previous timeline video, the Zexal timeline manages to make contact with the 5D's timeline and eventually reverse-engineer Synchro Monsters and rediscover Solid Vision. The latter gave Leo and Yusho the framework to develop Real Solid Vision, leading into Arc-V's Original Dimension.
Timeline 3: DSOD and Transcend Game happen full-cloth. Kaiba develops Duel Links, so when he disappears into the afterlife his company has a safety net that allows them to still flourish in his absence. VR dueling booms, with SOL eventually evolving Duel Links into Link Vrains. Link Monsters are central in this virtual world, but because Kaibacorp's Solid Vision was the foundation for the original Duel Links, Momentum was still able to develop in the real world (and with it, Synchro Monsters).
I think vrains takes place before 5ds or just after them.... it is kinda logical because of the electronics and the general world.
dude, that ghostly savagery there is too good
Except if it was in the past like after D.o.D then how come we never see link summoning or link Vrains in any of the other shows. I propose that this follows up on the 5ds timeline
I hope for future episodes they balance out plot and actual dueling, because at the end of the day. We come for both and not an unbalance between the two.
I search some info about this and I found out that VRAINS is like between 5D's and Zexal. well I don't know if it is legit or not but that's what I also think as well. Because of speed duels maybe it comes from the duels in 5D's. well I am also just speculating.
Inb4 SOL Technology is actually Kaiba Corp rebranded. KEK
Random possibility since dark side of dimensions happens while GX goes on and in Jaden dream he remembers an event he learned about (yugi winning 2nd tournament) where kaiba wants to duel atem (in a stadium while showing off new tech) and could fall I'm timeline with arch and zexal tech wasn't mastered so why it wasnt used until vrains
"Friendly Hacker Group" I had to pause the video there so I didn't miss anything while I had my laughing fit
Please do a new theory video of all the Yugioh shows with the darkness (nightshroud) update
dylan, i think that the six kids saved are akira, aoi, yusaku, go, kusanagi, and kusanagi's brother. i also believe that all the kids' parents were taken out by sol tech cause they found out they were part of hanoi and that akira's and aoi's parents survived the incident but then became ill or something like that cause of a attack led by sol tech on hanoi. also, keep up the great videos, they are amazing. what do you think of my theory?
honestly i feel like this goes on the original timeline b4 the original universe split into 4. i feel like VRAINS was actually designed to test the ability to create a new universe
og timeline di dnot pslti in 4 jakc dos nto use red nvoa draogn ina rc vb prof it not the someltine line or jack arc v jack dos not know hwo yusei is
why Seto Kaiba always being mentioned??
This is just my theory
>Remember that Kaiba has a machine that can travel to the Past,and he showed it many times(Series and DarkSide of Dimensions movie)
-->why is it that at the end of the movie Kaiba returns to Past just to battle Atem? Simply because he wanted to change HISTORY
(which created the Alternate Endings /5D's and Zexal)
ANOTHER
>it is never showed that he goes to the future but he has a machine that can travel to different dimension)
ANOTHER
-->How the hell he got a lot of UPGRADES for his B.E.W.D.???I mean his ulti card changes alot in Appearance,effects,etc.
i think he already made it to the future just to gather datas for upgrades to his ulti card
And (HE NEVER SHOWCASED ALOT OF HIS CARDS) in order to defeat Atem and Yugi,
but ended up never changing the entire future
Conclusion--Kaiba is the TimeMaker manipulator here,starting from the past to the future.
and hey,
Kaiba Corporation is i believe the Ongoin Progress and Development of the whole YuGiOh Franchise history
so Maybe we will never ever see some Yugi and Atem even in Y.G.O movies,, but definitely we will
see alot of Kaiba in the next and Upcoming YuGiOh Series and Movies.
---by the way thumbs up for this video 👍
I kinda disagree that the sign that you spoke about looks like millennium symbol it looks more like digmon symbol jkn , great video man and great theory as usual
btwyou missing the thing about 'who gave yusaku his ?
have thought about it?
I think it could be one of those 2 children that we are unaware of, OR, the green AI which is the one he corresponds with based on the OP1
+Yugioh Everything
YEY! Sempai noticed me!! (lol)
I agree on thata case, i'm grinding my head on where or who are possibly the 6 kids...
I'm guessing its between High School or (late) middle school kids.
I didn't include elementary/grade school because if the current age of the kid/s is/are around that they wouldn't be carried of like that...
BUT its just my guess...
Daddy kaiba is pleased
Great timeline Dylan
Thank you Zuleyma! :D
Most be yusaku have parents maybe yuri and serena or unknown parent
I don't like the idea of Revolver being Kusanagi's brother, but.... I have to admit it's a pretty solid theory xD
But wouldn't Kusanagi mention his father as he did with his brother?
We'll have to wait and see! Seriously, I couldn't ask more from VRAINS, it really lived up to the hype and more!
Awesome video as always, Dylan! And sorry, if my english is a little off xD
Thank you!! :D
There are still plenty of holes that this theory doesnt cover you're right. We will have to just wait and watch!
It makes sense that Yusaku and the other three are probably the 4 of the six children found in the woods. I also think that Yusaku and Revolver (the current one) are actually supposed to be close childhood friends. Yusaku says he has missing memories and there's quite a number of references and parallels to 5ds, specifically to Crow. First Revolver has bullet earrings, and one of Crow's nicknames is Crow the Bullet. It's also why after the time skip at the end of the series Crow's nut earrings were replaced with bullet ones. And in the original draft for 5ds Crow was supposed to be the Dark Signer that dueled Yusei (Kiriyu was supposed to be the one to duel Jack). But that idea was scrapped and you got the Team Satisfaction arc which barely fit in the 5ds timeline.
Dylan what do u say making some videos about the duel terminal quote on quote, universe, and the things that have been going on there. We got some info up until the point that Zefraath battles Infernoid Tierra, but then it stops. Looking from the design of archtypes such as zoodiac, metalfoes, dinomists, majespecter, crystrons, you can see one thing that connects them with each other, that being the True Kings/Dracos archtype. I konw you are no that into the game and dont make videos like this, but the story behind some cards(those in the duel terminal) is really exciting i think. Please take this in consideration. Love ya
yugioh the legend card game I want yugioh to end when it has 10 season.My ending opinion is to have all protagonist Yugi,judai,yusei,yuma,yuya, yusaku and the next 4 protagonist fight with a monster ZARC like that has all summoning method. Ritual,fusion,synchro, pendulum, link, and the next 4 season summoning method.
That surely is the endgame for the animes, have something try and destroy, merge all of time together. That way we could get all the protagonists in there primes to stop it
I like that a lot, but I still have an issue with Revolver having the same voice 5 years ago, because if that was his father back then, how would you explain that Revolver has the same voice IRL now ? The rest is flawless, as always ;)
I'm so hyped for Yusaku VS Revolver in july, because let's be honest, it's almost confirmed.
We should also take into consideration that the manga for DSOD had Overlay Owl in it somewhere, pseudo-confirming Xyz Monsters exist in the manga yu-gi-oh universe as of DSOD. Some Zoodiacs were seen in the first episode of Vrains too. I think Vrains is a series reboot, set in the manga continuity and fully merging both the anime and manga into a coherent timeline. Arc-V could have been one last hoorah for the anime timeline. Albeit with a... less than satisfactory ending.
Actually you can take DSOD into account. It may follows the manga but still works with the anime. And adds a lot to the timeline theory:
Just split the timeline/dimension after the ending of DM into a GX-route and a DSOD-route.
There is a two chapter prequel to DSOD - the "Transcend Game" - featuring a Neurons VR system which makes a perfect prototype for Link VRains. Considering Kaiba was more interested in the dimensional/consciousness part of this system from the start, he probably dropped the idea of a VR world and went for the dimension hopping.
So... maybe KC just sold/outsourced that idea to SOL. Since they are in different citys they even can co-exist. That still leaves the open end for DSOD with KC remaining in Domino, while SOL starts developing the Link VRains in Den-City.
(OR while Kaiba's "lost" in ancient egypt, SOL took over KC. Both possible.)
Did I miss something?
Great insight.. It's definitely possible that SOL is the successor to Kaiba Corp.. Very intrigued to see who the king chess piece actually is.. Maybe its Kaiba!?
Since there can't be enough Kaiba it would be really awesome. But I doubt that. At least now it makes no sense. But we'll see.
And to be honest: I'm kinda not over Arc-V in terms of previous characters appearing in current seasons XD
Maybe after GX there is three different paths Zexal 5d and Vrains because in vrains they don't have xyz synchrone or pendulum monsters
I agree with you
