I really enjoyed the the more serious and realistic tone it had. This didn’t involve any ancient supernatural powers, origins, or cosmic mechanics at work. This was all based a contemporary occurrence from the antagonists to the setting and genre.
im not sure how the entire bond between ai and lost kid worked, but im guessing the reason why yusakus so emotionless in the beginning is cuz during the incident they lost a part of themselves, and in yusakus case he lost all the reason to enjoy life hence why ai is such a funloving goofball around everyone the exact opposite of playmaker. idk its been awhile
I also peg it that Yusaku shut himself off from the world out of fear, sicne people who go through trauma can do that, and it shows even as he just wants to make himself feel better, he can also tend to be a coward, and how his negative actions also reflect on Ai when the Ignis die and he's left with that same sense of bitterness, which he picked up from Yusaku and his own sense of bitterness, considering it feels like he also ignored his own parents and others who wanted to help him just because he assumes "no one would understand" when he had to take that first step.
That’s actually a very good theory. So going from there, is it safe to say the other ignis are like the manifestations of the lost parts of the other kids?
Whats truly sad is that Playmaker just can't get a break. First lost incident then Ai. Ai's death is prolly the sadest in the anime for me (roboppi too). He's been there for 2 seasons and although a playful character he is also one of the saddest in the series having to watch friends die multiple times. The simulations all say that if he were the last ignis alive he would always be the reason the world got into an apocolypse and yusaku would die everytime. Its honestly sad to see him in season 3 as he is still such a troll and plays around but is actually just sad and the last duel is my favorite in yugioh. His death was really sad and Yusaku screaming his name as he dies hits hard
While I grew to like Vrains, it was the first series that didn't "feel" like yugioh. It was still good, but you could tell that Kazuki Takahashi and a lot of the old guard were long gone.
Now I was wondering, what do you would've happened if Yusaku learns about the importants to have a bond of friendship? And she helps Aoi Zaizen as well.
OMG, Big Brother, I loved this! That joke in the middle was great, and I really felt your personality shine through. I think the best part about this though, is how fresh it is. This has a very powerful and original air to it, making this a breath of fresh air for someone like me. I can't wait to see what else you got, King of Games! I'm behind you every step of the way!
I'm not the kind of person who's obsessed with everything anime, though Yugioh does hold my interest along with a few others. As for this video, though it's only an explanation as to why it's different, you covered topics about things I've just understood and figured out only just recently, and I loved your presentation! overall, great video!
Varis: an example of edgy being cool when done right. Shadow from Sonic Free Riders onward (dub-wise at least): an example of trying to make edgy be cool but failing miserably instead.
Vrains (sub) was actually the first yugioh series I watched (I started the original (dub) for about 3 seasons then weened off) Then i went on to gx (dub). Vrains is honestly my favorite yugioh and why I play irl and the games with a rokket deck. Also why oh why must they make the dub for vrains with Revolver being called Varis like wth and dubbed Ai's voice is wacky as hell
Very cool analysis!, never liked Yusaku that much, but given more context, I still don't like his character, but I understand it. Hadn't thought about the concept of internet persona even though it seemed so obvious, makes much more sense now.
You know what Vrains Yusaku reminds me of? He reminds me of Kiaba and early Atem, Cold and ruthless. They are really trying to portray Yusaku as the antagonist more then they are a protagonist. Which is a very interesting concept. I wonder if Yusaku will grow to be more caring as the show goes on the same way Kaiba became less cruel and more friendly.
Your singing was awesome also I’m a former duelist. I played with the legendary signer dragons with my stardust assault deck. I had 10 years under my belt. Nice to meet you and have a great day. I forgot to mention I subscribed to you btw.
I like how different Yusaku was written! It was interesting to what his character development! I fucking looovee revenge stories and I find it interesting how he seems very neurodivergent coded to me (in my opinion). Yusaku seems to have lot of autistic traits such as: strong sense of justice, strong emotions, stoic, mono tone voice, lack of expression, to me he also seemed pretty hyper fixated on defeating the Hanoi and get his revenge, I also can’t forget that he’s very blunt and honest, the lack of social skills is a common issue that autistic people on the spectrum have too! I’m also aware that his character traits also come from his traumatic childhood. Yusaku’s autistic traits are mostly a head canon of mine, as I’m an autistic person on the spectrum myself! I like how they didn’t write Yusaku like the common Yugioh protagonist! The bluntness and mono tone voice was very different and I wasn’t used to it so it made his character more interesting to me! I’ve heard that people didn’t like Yusaku’s robotic sounding voice and I can understand that, but I feel a lot of autistic people can relate to Yusaku’s character traits! I’d say he’s one of my favorite Yugioh protagonist other than Jaden!
While to me VRAINS has some cool concepts to be different, the problem is rather than three things like Yusaku likes to do thanks to Ryoken/Revolver/Varis, it's one; it's hard to watch him when he's not very likeable, and when he does show some growth, it doesn't feel like it sticks, compared to how it is with Yusei in 5D's who also is a very serious protagonist. I like to feel "edgy is cool" CAN work, but just because something is edgy, doesn't always automatically assume it's cool if it lacks heart or reasons for you to be invested into the series. It also is rough when the series doesn't take time to be able to relax and allow for growth outside of just plot because so much of everything in the series is plot. It reminds me of a quote of how without heart, people can't be ANYTHING, and honestly sometimes, VRAINS lacks big time in the heart department compared to the other series in the franchise.
This! I just recently watch Vrains and the most likeable character imo is Soulburner lol He appears in season 2, but to me already beat Yusaku/Playmaker by miles with his backstory and growth. Yusaku, honestly there is barely anything of his character other than being Playmaker and his backstory. I wish they have some kind of relaxing episode like a beach episode or something, just goofing off for 1-to 2 episodes. To show how the MC is like outside the game.
@@TheOverlordEND he cant because he is suppose to be a tragic character, he cant be happy because there is always something, first his revenge obsession, then is unwilling responsability to beat boman, and last AI duel, at the end of VRAINS he is literally the only character who dosnt get a happy ending
@@angelarce9747 It would have been a hell of a twist if Yusaku was able to turn tragedy into triumph somehow, since that can happen with characters in other anime. Hell, in Digimon Frontier, Koji, one of the main five characters, suffered a lot of tragedy with his mom and dad divorcing even if he thought his mom was dead, and how he didn't even know he had his twin brother Koichi until later on in the series as well as distancing himself from everyone, even his stepmom, until his adventures in the Digital World lead him to change the tragedies he's had into something better, getting to open up to his stepmom, reuniting with his mom as well as bonding with Koichi. And I feel it would have helped Yusaku to be able to turn his tragedy into triumph, but I saw it he was just scared to do it because he was afraid to get hurt again.
It's vrains because it's VR AI NS (virtual reality Artificial intelligence network system) the B sound in V is just Japanese people being bad at pronouncing. That doesn't make it a B, it's still a V.
Zexal was supposed to be pronounced "Zeal". Apparently, that big X thing in the middle was never supposed to be a letter, but everyone called it Zexal, so that's what it's most commonly referred to as.
"Judai" is the name given to him in the original Japanese dub of the show, in order to make sure younger audiences could pronounce his name in the US, they changed his name to "Jaden" for the English dub. If you want to go purely from the source, his original name is, in fact, "Judai Yuki".
Nah the show is lame. Seriously, here I am watching the duel between Lighting vs Spectre, right. And during Lighting's turn, I fell asleep as he kept making summons after summons. I woke up 5 minutes later and then realized as I shouted "WAIT. ARE THEY IN THE SAME FDCKING TURN!!?" I never felt a series so boring. It's SAO 2.0, in general.
That's not really vrains fault that's just the actual modern tcg being accurately portrayed yes it actually plays that way. It's pretty much impossible to do that when using any kind of modern archetype.

That’s actually a very good theory. So going from there, is it safe to say the other ignis are like the manifestations of the lost parts of the other kids?
honestly my favorite yugioh protags are ones like yusei and yusaku who are more mature and serious. It was a big blow for me to go from yusei to yuma.

it's actually the card "Dark Angel" not Trickstar Black Cat Bat
I say the same thing

Sapphire Valley Thank you Sapphire Valley, I'm happy that you liked it and I will continue to bring epic content on Yu-Gi-Oh. Be sure to tune in.
He has friends he just kinda don't realize it. He won bc Ai was his friend. Probably he's just holding back his emotions.

That was a good joke, you’re SOL. Took me 5 seconds and I realized it was “So Out of Luck” 😂👌 nice one

Kinda sorta but he still comes off super emotionally constipated due to what I perceive as fear.
this video is basically all cut off in the dub version, glad I could enjoy the anime in its entirety in sub
5:00 I could’ve sworn it was dark angel
It is dark angel not Trickster black cat
This is awesome i wish more people knew your channel
Your singing was awesome also I’m a former duelist. I played with the legendary signer dragons with my stardust assault deck. I had 10 years under my belt. Nice to meet you and have a great day. I forgot to mention I subscribed to you btw.
Vrains oh vrains , I miss this kind of card game shows
After episode 3, I just said to myself "this is a power rangers show."
3:07 this has “you’re not sidekicks, you’re goons” energy written all over it. Damn lol
Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains Having Haysheen and escalating the villain's main goals would've had the show to new levels of potential
Its 5 years to late but it wasn't black catbat it was literally just dark Angel.
Yes I've learned to accept the darkness.
I prefered the dub version of vrains because it was a lot more comical and yusaku had some Character development
How you watch vrains in dub?
@@hoysnowyy709 Tubi is a good site to watch the dub. Same thing for the other Yu-Gi-Oh series.

It's A-I, not Ai. Unless it's an AI named Ai?
AI’s named Ai
His name is Ai.
8:00 this guy speaks nothing but the truth!
I have a question though does revolver in the dub become revolver later on if not then what’s the point

This!
I just recently watch Vrains and the most likeable character imo is Soulburner lol
He appears in season 2, but to me already beat Yusaku/Playmaker by miles with his backstory and growth.
Yusaku, honestly there is barely anything of his character other than being Playmaker and his backstory. I wish they have some kind of relaxing episode like a beach episode or something, just goofing off for 1-to 2 episodes. To show how the MC is like outside the game.

5:00 it wasn't batcat it was a card which wasn't a trickstar and if I am not mistaken was called dark angel
Yeah I say the same thing as well
But it's true. It's not batcat. It's dark angel I presume
no no he be going into the storm and creating cards every Yugioh protangonist got an ass pull
Bro keep doing these vids u have the perfect personality and commentary voice bro you kept me engaged the whole video please do more
So Vrains is Persona-like... WITH REAL CARDS THIS TIME!!!!
I thought Vrains was a very interesting series
I actually enjoyed this
watching this gave me an urge to watch Yu-Gi-Oh Anime... just a little though, not happening soon
Damn, I related with this main character haha
على حسب رأيي يوغي يوفرينس افضل موسم
It's vrains because it's VR AI NS (virtual reality Artificial intelligence network system) the B sound in V is just Japanese people being bad at pronouncing. That doesn't make it a B, it's still a V.
Which one is good after 5d
All of them
Zexal is the best
A new sub
Excellent!
Sol?
Who is judai anyway
Jaden in the dub
so... basically VR trolls in real life? damn... cold I would hate him
I dont remember there being a spinoff called "Yugioh Zel".
Zexal was supposed to be pronounced "Zeal". Apparently, that big X thing in the middle was never supposed to be a letter, but everyone called it Zexal, so that's what it's most commonly referred to as.
@@redcrystal7x Oh. I usually play videogames while only listening to the videos. Thank you for explaining that that was Zexal.
So would Yugi still be alive in Vrains or is this in the future of the Arc V universe?
I'm used to their names in the English dub so I was lost for a bit.
Honestly that opening song is a pop it just needs like a better beat?
it not juhad it jaden
