Line 230:
*[[Break Them by Talking]]:Soulburner gets on GO's bad side by pointing out that he's incapable of anything but throwing a hissy fit, all because he's no longer number one in LINK VRAINS. This pisses off GO ''big time''.
*[[Broken Pedestal]]: A downplayed case with Go. He still respects him as a duelist but dislikes how he's acting recently.
*[[Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl]]:Although only ambiguously Romantic with Kiku, he was brooding and distant back home, while she tried to coax him out of his behavior.
*[[Dark and Troubled Past]]: He's another victim of the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project. After being rescued, he was taken in by his grandparents and learned his parents died while searching for him, leaving him an Empty Shell and angry at the world, often skipping school for large periods. When he saw Playmaker, Blue Angel, and Go fight Hanoi, he felt like time started moving for him again and left for Den City to meet and work with them.
*[[Cyberspace]]: He uses a Cyberse deck.
*[[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: Prior to his departure to Den City, Soulburner had his hair slicked back like a Delinquent, and later changed it to a more unassuming, kinder style to help him better fit in as a student in Den City.
*[[Expy]]:
**Of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|Johan]], being a similar character to the main protagonist and joining partway through the series and establishing a great rapport with him.
**A clear one of [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Katsuya Jonouchi]], being the more fiery duelist with a gambling gimmick.
His [[New Transfer Student]] status and softer real life appearance also make him this to Johan and Bruno.
* [[Face Of a Thug]]: Prior to his departure to Den City; while not malicious or outright unfriendly, he was capable of pulling off intimidating expressions, which was an easy way to intimidate the Mizunumas (especially Ryujiro) and their gang.
*[[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: As Soulburner, his right hand is partly exposed, while on his left hand he wears a red gauntlet.
*[[Hero Worshipper]]:Go Onizuka was his hero, his behavior and heroism in the Hanoi incident being what inspired him to come out again, and seeing him wallow in self-pity and be a bounty hunter upsets Soulburner, giving him a [[Broken Pedestal]].
*[[Hidden Depths]]: Takeru may appear cheerful and spirited now, but he wasn't always like that. He got upset when Flame called him out on having been a shut-in who could only fight his own demons and not fight enemies like Yusaku had. He used to describe himself and feeling empty and angry at everything, and that time stopped for him, only starting after learning about the heroes of VRAINS
*[[Hikikomori]]: After hearing of his parents' deaths while they were searching for him, Takeru grew to hate everything and closed himself off from society. He eventually gets out of it after he read the news about Playmaker, Blue Angel, and GO saving LINK VRAINS from the Knights of Hanoi, motivated to move forward and Duel again.
*[[Ill Boy]]:It may not be noticeable at first, but he also has PTSD like Yusaku. This is shown when he gets caught by Blood Shepherd's trap, the shock of the trap causes him to have falshbacks to the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project.
*[[Keet]]:He seems to be this based on how he glomps Yusaku in the second opening.
Line 247 ⟶ 251:
*[[Online Alias]]: Soulburner.
*[[Playing with Fire]]: Soulburner uses a fire-themed avatar,and a Salamangreat deck, which is composed of FIRE Monsters.
*[[Primal Fear]]: Takeru is afraid of Ghosts, likely due to his experiences with the Zombie-Type Despair From the DArk during the Lost Incident
*[[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]:Soulburner's hot-bloodedness contrasts Playmaker's stoicism and no-nonsense front.
*[[Signature Move]]: His Skill, Burning Draw, has him pay LP so that he only has 100 left, and allows him to draw a card for every 1000 LP he pays. In addition to being a high-risk move, it is also physically taxing.
Line 318 ⟶ 323:
*[[Parental Neglect]]:Since their parents died, he's been Aoi's guardian, and while his job lets her live comfortably, he has no time to spend with her, so he doesn't notice her emotional problems, him being the major cause of them.
*[[Promoted to Parent]]: After their parents died, Akira took care of Aoi, gaining his job in order to support a stable life for her.
*[[Punch Clock Villain]]: "Villain" might be a stretch, but Akira only opposes Playmaker in Season 2 because it is his job in SOL Technologies. Otherwise, Akira feels deeply indebted to him and is much more interested in making contact with him in real life.
*[[Rags to Riches]]:After enduring many hardships, he eventually worked up to the prominent and well-paying job at SOL to provide for Aoi.
*[[Say My Name]]: Cries out for Aoi after she is defeated by Spectre
Line 616 ⟶ 622:
*[[Gonk]]: He doesn't look good
*[[Inadequate Inheritor]]:Brave Max quickly returns Cyberse Wizard to Playmaker, believing himself to be unworthy of carrying on Playmaker's legacy.
*[[Insane Troll Logic]]: Brave Max's claim that "Metal Baboon" can't be returned to his hand because it's a Link Monster baffles both Ghost Girl and Blue Girl. The fallacy in his claim, however, is that his Monster is still a valid target for "Altergeist Silquitous's" Effect, only that it doesn't return to his hand, but rather, his Extra Deck.
*[[I Just Want To Be Badass]]: Subverted. While he defeated a Knight of Hanoi not long after he entered LINK VRAINS for the first time, he ultimately considers himself unworthy of carrying on Playmaker's legacy, and quickly returns Cyberse Wizard to Playmaker after he arrives to confront Faust.
*[[Locked Out of the Loop]]:Is completely unaware that his classmates are Playmaker and Blue Angel resepctively
*[[Mr. Exposition]]: Explains to Yusaku and the audience about Another Syndrome, a recent phenomenon where people are forced into Link Vrains and subsequently gone into a coma. Unfortunately for him, Yusaku was already up-to-date with the information, meaning Naoki didn't have to explain it to him but already did for the viewer's convenience.
*[[Mistaken for Badass]]:Emma and Aoi believe he must secretly be a great duelist if Playmaker is interested in him... only to find out that he's really an amateur, which annoys Aoi because she had set up a Blue Angel event in order to get him into VRAINS.
*[[Online Alias]]: Initially went by Lonely Brave, but changes it to Brave Max shortly after he is congratulated by a few netizens for defeating a Knight of Hanoi.
*[[Saying Too Much]]:Faust overhears Naoki boasting about being Playmaker's supposed chosen one, then punches him in the gut and holds him hostage.
*[[Troll]]:Scoffs at Yusaku's decoy deck, describing it as amateurish. The Duel Club president calls Naoki out for it.
*[[Saying To Much]]:
**Faust overhears Naoki boasting about being Playmaker's supposed chosen one, then punches him in the gut and holds him hostage.
**Ghost Girl warns Brave Max not to openly admit that he is best friends with Playmaker due to Playmaker being a bounty target in NEW LINK VRAINS.
** Subverted in that he doesn't reveal that Yusaku was the one to save him in the real world while Playmaker saved him in VRAINS, instead only being frustratingly vague when Aoi asked him, which would have likely led Emma and Aoi to connecting the dots. Justified on Shima's part, however, as he legitimately doesn't know Playmaker's real world identity.
*[[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]:Green in this case
