Did it ever stop being boring

Arc-V had such a stronger mid-beginning I feel

I watched one episode, realized it was not in fact about dueling while on top of trains, and never went back.

ive gotten really pissed off at the piss poor writing of the female characters in yugioh
i made the mistake of getting my hopes up with aki and yuzu only to see them become terribly written by the half way point of their series

blue angel went through that in record time
now she knows not to try to be a hero while having a vagina

her only line last episode was the main characters name
so she is going full aki and is turning into a pokemon who can only say the main characters name

Links >_> y1V38yf

Pendulums introduced a balanced alternate playstyle meanwhile Links made the game require Links to have more than one Extra Deck monster on the field...

They have arrows that point to other zones on the field and if they do you can summon other extra deck monsters there. Otherwise you can only have one extra deck monster in a designated zone that was added to the field.

How is Ghost Girl


she has had 2 major duels and lost them both and was reduced to a damsel in distress because she couldnt get past mirror force

both ghost girls and blue angels last duels had their opponents toying with them without the girls ever gaining the upper hand

but while the male character that had to be rescued actually put up a fight and forced the bad guy to use his stronger cards

I think it did. Playmaker vs. Revolver was an awesome duel, and Revolver puling Mirror Force on Go Onizuka right before that was a fantastic (and meme-worthy) moment. I agree with what Yusiko said about the side characters, especially Blue Angel, getting the short end of the stick. But I've found all of the major characters, especially Revolver and Playmaker himself, to be enjoyable and well-written. Most importantly, the duels are really fun, although Playmaker's asspull victories even put Yugi to shame.

I really hope it doesn't end up like ARC-V and turn to trash in the later half of the series, but so far it's been enjoyable enough to keep me watching and having fun.

i kinda stopped following after blue angel lost to the dryad tree guy

vrains tries to make itself serious like 5ds but it's not working very well. seeing only link summons also doesn't help. i enjoyed arc v a lot due to the various chain summons that yuya and reiji did.

Playmaker just did a Ritual summon this past episode. So it's possible that more different summoning types are on their way. I hope they are too.

Ritual is the Scrappy Doo of summoning methods as far as Konami cares. Yuya and Reiji are summoning type masters and neither of them even did it. Odd-Eyes archetype does have a ritual monster just so that it can still be the coolest fucking archetype but I don't recall it being very useful)

That's a shame to hear that they still haven't done any others. Arc-V did the different duelist types extremely well and moments like the first Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon summon were dope as fuck. They did a really great job of putting new life into almost every part of Yugioh and the different action duel fields meant they always got to fight in different environments.

I dunno if that was costing too much money or what but obviously the variety went down after Synchro arc started (there were still a lot of good story duels due to the characters). Now VRAINS is like all shades of blue and grey and the same dumb surfboarding digital water setting every match. >_<
