[[File:Ygo vrains revolver.png|thumb]]
Line 16:
*[[Badass Boast]]:Claims that he is capable of taking down the entirety of Link VRAINS should he have a reason to
*[[Badass Longcoat]]: Returns to this tradition which was broken by Reiji
*[[Big Bad]]: He leads a group of Cyberspace busting maniacs and the main antagonistic force to Yusaku/Playmaker. Behind the scenes though, Dr. *[[Bishonen]]:[[The Faceless|Masked]] and hidden for majority of the First Season until his face reveal in episode #43. He basically fits the bill with his pretty face, light-blue [[Tsurime Eyes|eyes]], long eyelashes, and slender build.Kogami is the real mastermind, while Revolver is merely his protege..
*[[Blow You Away]]:He is capable of manipulating Data Storms.
*[[But Now I Must Go]]:
*[[Black and White Insanity]]:Like his father, he adamantly believes that all of the Ignis must be terminated, including the ones who demonstrate no active hostility towards humanity.
*[[Break Them by Talking]] :He tears apart Lightning verbally during their Duel, exposing his opponent for the petty motives behind the atrocities he committed leading up to the Cyberse World's destruction and Bohman's creation. Lightning ''explodes'' and attempts, without success, to silence Revolver from saying any more.
*[[Byronic Hero]]:Charismatic, elegant, attractive, introspective, idealistic, ruthless in the pursuit of his goals, [[Tragic Flaw |tragically flawed]] who's making amends for his father's conditions and carrying the guilt of his choices in the past.
*[[A Child Shall Lead Them]]:It's unknown how old Revolver exactly is, but he is much younger than Faust and Baira, who were already adults when he was a child, and he is the leader of the Knights of Hanoi.
*[[Char Clone]]:The first Kaiba Expy who is not only outright evil, but is also actively working with the villains.
Line 25 ⟶ 28:
*[[Cassandra Truth]]: Time and time again, Playmaker fails to heed Revolver's warnings about what the Ignis are really up to. As revealed in the second season, [Lightning and Windy are both working together to rule over humanity from a Cyberse World beyond human reach, and Revolver instigating a Duel against Windy only adds fuel to the fire, regardless of the outcome of the Duel.
*[[Defrosting Ice King]]: Despite claiming he would never be Yusaku’s friend and he still regretted being Yusaku’s voice of hope, in episode 73, Ryoken took the time to code a program that would protect Yusaku from being attacked [[Your Soul Is Mine|like Jin had been attacked]]. He delivered it ''personally'' despite the risks of exposing himself since he knew Yusaku would trust him. Ryoken claimed he did this because [[Enemy Mine|an enemy of his enemy is his friend]], but he seems to be starting to warm up to Yusaku.
*[[Death
*[[Enemy Mine]]: Double Subverted. Revolver initially defies it as he intends to delete Ai along with the antagonistic Lightning and Windy, but after Playmaker and Soulburner go after them, Spectre suggests the enemy of their enemy is their friend, and Revolver decides to let them fight it out for the time being.
*[[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]:Shown caring for his hospitalized father.
Line 46 ⟶ 49:
** Revolver had roughly a thousand underlings, Kengo on the other hand either operates solo or in very small groups.
*[[Graceful Loser]]: Downplayed. While Revolver calmly accepts his defeat to Playmaker in their second Master Duel and agrees to stop the Tower of Hanoi, he warns Playmaker that the Ignis remain a threat to humanity, and vows to fulfill his destiny someday.
*[[Guilt Complex]]: He blames himself for pretty much everything that happened, because of his decision to save\ the victims of the Lost Incident, which eventually led to his father's condition.
*[[Hairstyle Inertia]]:His hair is in the same style as it was in his youth.
*[[Hypocrite]]:Despite his opinion on Link VRAINS allowing people to lie to each other, Revolver also uses an alias and has an avatar that makes it hard to really get behind what he is trying to accomplish.
*[[Hypocrisy Nod]]:Doesn't care that the Topologic Bomber Dragon he acquired is a Cyberse-Type, and gloats that it's fun to fight poison with poison.
Line 67 ⟶ 72:
*[[The Reveal]]:In his Duel against GO, Revolver uses a certain Trap Card which he also used against Ghost Girl to destroy all of her Monsters It turns out to be Mirror Force
*[[Real Men Wear Pink]]: In real life, he wears a pink v-neck shirt.
*[[Reasonable Authority Figure]]:He actually cares deeply for his lieutenants, :even admits his regrets when they fell into a coma due to his obsession with Playmaker, and displays a level of concern for the victims of Lost Incident behind the scenes. [[Good Is Not Nice|All the while seeming like an indifferent jerk in front of them]].
*[[Right for the Wrong Reasons]]:His analyzing of the Ignis as a whole proved that as a group they would be a threat to humanity. He failed to study them as ''individuals'' which showed that while coexistence was possible for all Ignis save for Lightning, who singlehandedly leads the Ignis into becoming the threats with his corruptive influence on all other Ignis. His son eventually figures it out in his stead after his death.
*[[The Strategist]]:Naturally. Aside from his sheer badassery in Dueling, he also demonstrates a lot of capacity for critical-thinking and a well-developed sense for tactics. As stated in Episode 69, he doesn't charge into an enemy's territory without a plan. He is leader for a reason.
*[[The Stoic]]:Out of duels Revolver is calm and collected individual.
*[[Slasher Smile]]:Breaks into one after he discovers Playmaker's identity from camera footage.
*[[Saying Too Much]]: Had Revolver not mentioned Stardust Road, Yusaku wouldn't have been able to track down his whereabouts in the real world.
*[[Sheathe Your Sword]]: He does absolutely nothing in his Duel against Soulburner, leaving himself wide open for a direct attack. Soulburner attempts to deliver a [[One-Hit Kill]], but his hesitation holds him back, abruptly ending the Duel with no result.
*[[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Interrupts Akira's interrogation of Playmaker, threatening to destroy the entirety of Link VRAINS if Akira doesn't comply with Revolver's request to Duel Playmaker.
*[[Took a Level In Badass]]: He makes a triumphant return in the second season and demonstrates that Playmaker isn't the only one with new skills by showcasing the might of Synchro Summoning.
Line 75 ⟶ 84:
*[[The Unfettered]]: Revolver refuses to stop the Tower of Hanoi, and will do whatever it takes to ensure that the Ignis is terminated, even if it means decimating the entirety of humanity.
*[[Tsurime Eyes]]: Highlighting his stoic and no-nonsense nature.
*[[The Worf Effect]]: Lightning refuses to accept an outright defeat from Revolver, instead taking both himself and his opponent out. The Duel was thought to have ended in a DRAW... but Lightning barely hangs on with 1 LP due to what little he had of Jin's consciousness data remaining, which he converted to extra LP to keep himself in the game. Lightning's status as leader of the rogue Ignis isn't just for show, not losing a single Duel up to that point.
*[[Well Intentioned Extremist]]: He is very caring and loyal towards his father and his goal of destroying Link VRAINS and the Ignis in order for the further safety of the greater good for humanity.
*[[Weaksauce Weakness]]:His Fire Prison can't be destroyed by other card effects, but it destroys itself when the Cyberse monsters it traps leave the battlefield. Considering it doesn't prevent them from being tributed and also gives the opponent every reason to (since their monster zones still counts as occupied), it's quite a flaw.
Line 86 ⟶ 96:

{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
*[[Achilles' Heel]]: Exploited by Playmaker, who uses Excode Talker to seal the Main Monster Zones pointed to by Spectre's Sunavalon Daphne so he can't take advantage of those unoccupied Zones. Spectre, however, gets out of it by revealing an imprisoned Akira in front of Playmaker.
*[[Ambiguous Disorder]]: As a result of the Hanoi Project, Spectre becomes a sadistic excuse of a human being to the point of [[Cold Blooded Torture|torturing Blue Angel in the cruelest way possible]]
*[[Break Them by Talking]]:
Line 104 ⟶ 114:
*[[Expy]]:His overall role is similar to that of Yuri and Vector.
** Outside series, his similarities to [[Persona 2|King Leo / Tatsuya Sudou]] are...slightly uncanny. A fondness for NightmareFace, sadism, and taking pleasure and pride in the past incident that scarred all the others who participated in it - he incinerates the blue angel book out of sheer spite much like Tatsuya enjoyed burning things in general, and is generally a sick person who latched on to the white-clad main villain, becoming his dangerous second in command.
*[[Faux Affably Evil]]: A ruthless and sadistic Knight of Hanoi who communicates with formal and polite linguistics, he takes pleasure in [[Break Them
*[[Friendless Background]]:Because he had no family, he was unable to mingle with others and often spent time by his lonesome since his childhood days.
*[[Green Thumb]]:Uses a Plant Deck.
Line 120 ⟶ 130:
** The real last straw, however, was Playmaker destroying his Sunavalon Dryatrentiay. Spectre ''completely'' loses his shit and snaps at Playmaker for destroying what Spectre revered as sacred and motherly.
*[[The Reason You Suck Speech]]:
**Mixed with [[Break Them by Talking]], he disses Aoi for being a worthless blue angel who is unable to save him as he wipes out the rest of her LP.
*He also dismissively labels Playmaker's sense of justice as lame, and calls him weak-willed for being unable to sacrifice others in spite of his vengeful spirit.
*[[Relative Button]]:As Playmaker and Ai find out, destroying Sunavalon Dryatrentiay was a terrible mistake, as Spectre ''completely'' loses his shit and snaps at Playmaker for destroying what Spectre reveres as sacred and motherly.
*[[Slasher Smile]]:Most of his smiles are disturbing and creepy as shown in his interactions with Kitamura and Blue Angel.
*[[Stone Wall]]:The Sunavalon archetype has a variety of life point recovery and DamageReduction tactics to keep his lifepoints high, but can switch over into a MightyGlacier depending on some of the monsters.
*[[Sorry That I'm Dying]]:He can do little but apologise to Revolver before getting his consciousness data taken by Lightning.
*[[Token Evil Teammate]]:A rare villainous example. Among the upper echelon, where the Three Lieutenants and Dr Kogami are guilt-ridden atoners and Revolver is merely a bit of a smug WellIntentionedExtremist with some NobleDemon tendencies, Spectre stands out as a FauxAffablyEvil Sadist that enjoys corrupting and toying with Blue Angel, as well as making a variety of psychotic expressions.
*[[This Cannot Be]]: Reacts in surprise to Akira sacrificing himself, something that Spectre did not anticipate Akira would do.
Line 131 ⟶ 142:
*[[Virtue Is Weakness]]: After successfully using Akira as a hostage to deter Playmaker from winning, Spectre deduced virtue was his opponent's weakness.
*[[Villainous B.S.O.D.]]: After losing to Playmaker, Spectre joyfully says he regrets nothing and goes [[Laughing Mad]], before freezing in horror at the sight of his Sunavalon tree burning. Remembering his childhood and shedding tears, he could only call it "Mother" before getting buried under the burning debris.
*[[The Worf Effect]]:He's effortlessly defeated by Lightning, to demonstrate the threat that the latter and his organisation pose to humanity. Justified, as Spectre was classified the weakest out of the five members in Playmaker's group.
*[[Would Hit
Line 180 ⟶ 192:
*[[Jerkass]]:Like the other Knights of Hanoi he has no problem attacking other random duelist in LINK VRAINS and turning them into Anothers and he saw no remorse for what he did to them
*[[Meaningful Name]]:: As Dr. Genome points out, "genome", which refers to all genetic information in DNA, is a combination of "gene" and "chromosome", and notes the similarities to DNA and programming patterns. He uses this knowledge to expose a Playmaker-disguised GO.
*[[No Sell]]:Some of his cards involve negating Battle and/or Effect Damage he would've taken from the opponent.▼
**Once per turn, he takes no Battle Damage from battles involving his Helixx Marmotroll.
**His Helixx Necro Darwin enables him to negate Effect Damage from his opponent (as well as doubling its current ATK).
Line 187 ⟶ 198:
*[[Perpetual Smiler]]:Often seen with a smug expression, and also highlights his sadism.
*[[Smug Snake]]:He enjoys underestimating his opponents and thinks he is often above them.
▲*[[
*[[You Can't Fight Fate]]:Claims that one's destiny, Duel, and everything else about them is predetermined based on their DNA. Dark Onizuka, however, dismissively remarks that only he decides his own fate.
*[[Your Answer to Everything]]:He won't shut up about DNA.
Line 234 ⟶ 246:
*[[Spell My Name with an "S"]]:Is her Online Alias "Vyra" or "Baira"?
*[[Zettai Ryouiki]]:Grade B.
