Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Base Breaker]]: Crow, Crow, Crow. Quite possibly the worst [[Base Breaker]] in the series, it's hard to find enough people who share opinions to come to a consensus on what they ''think'' he is and [[Alternate Character Interpretation|what he should be.]] Some people call him the [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kamina]] of the series(Though most detractors say that the honor should go more to [[Memetic Badass|Jack]]). Others love him for what he is, the [[Large Ham]] of the cast. Still others call him a [[Canon Sue]], citing his use of an archetype that's [[Game Breaker|been a tournament staple in real life]], the fact that {{spoiler|[[Sixth Ranger|he became a Signer]] }}, and the fact that he ''never shuts up'' as reason for being hated. This extends to just about any episode that revolves around Crow, to the point where, if you see Crow featuring prominently in an episode, there's bound to be an argument about it.

** Aki fits this to a minor degree. Either you love or hate her [[Backstory]] and [[Character Development]].

* [[Better on DVD]]: Especially when filler episodes can be skipped over and some can be treated as a bonus arc (Crashtown).

* [[Black Hole Sue]]: Crow's increased presence ended up warping the intended plot quite a bit. The story goes something like this: Crow was never intended to be a main character - he was a close friend to Yusei, but not a major part of the cast. After Blackwings started selling like hotcakes in [[Real Life]], the Konami suits ordered the anime crew to make him a permanent member of the cast ([[Merchandise-Driven|so more Blackwings could be made, of course]]), and, as it turns out, Katsumi Ono had a soft spot for Crow. So while Crow isn't a [[Black Hole Sue]] in the context of the ''5D's'' universe, he is one metatextually.
