Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

* [[Aloof Ally]]:As Playmaker, he has been praised by other Charisma Duelists for his skill and talent. Not that he cares.

* [[Anime Hair]]:The common hair style for every Yugioh protagonist

* [[Amnesia]]:Subverted, he lost his memories long ago, but has lived long enough to get a have a stable personality, albeit one that's a Jerkass

* [[Anti Hero]]:Yusaku is neither [[Hot-Blooded]] nor an All-Loving Hero, but a standoffish, serious, and distant [[Ice King]].He would even go so far as to give the Knight of Hanoi a very brutal [[The Reason You Suck Speech]], which is something that only Kaiba archetypes would usually do.

* [[Achievements in Ignorance]]:Justified. He knows how to use a hover board and do speed duels on his first try, but he figures out right away that he must've done both of these things prior to losing his memory.

* [[Awesome By Analysis]]:Said to be a genius duelist and hacker who excels at reading people. See EstablishingCharacterMoment below.

* [[Badass Baritone]]:Sports a deep voice.His voice is much deeper than any other Yu-Gi-Oh protagonist even being deeper than [[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Atem]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|Yusei]].

Line 19:

* [[BFS]]:His Decode Talker wields a greatsword.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: As Playmaker, he saves Blue Angel from being erased by Cracking Dragon.

* [[Beginner's Luck]]:Justified. He knows how to use a hover board and do speed duels on his first try, but he figures out right away that he must've done both of these things prior to losing his memory.

* [[Bishonen]]:See his anime design he looks much more attractive and taller than his predoocseeors

* [[Broken Bird]]:Most likely, as whatever the Hanoi Knights did to him and Shoichi's brother is driving him towards revenge.

Line 34:

Line 37:

**His Decode Talker looks like an odd combination between Buster Blader, and Elemental HERO Sparkman. It also serves a similar role to Yusei's Junk Warrior, being a secondary ace monster with 2300 ATK.

**Shares a few elements with [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal|Shark]], both being orphans with a [[Mysterious Past]] to the audience, someone they want to get revenge on, a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] personality, and wanting so help/save someone who has a younger sibling bond with a main cast member.

*[[Genre Savvy]]:Yusaku carries around a casual LIGHT deck in case another duelist wants to see his deck, and so he doesn't blow his cover.

*[[Flanderization]]:Parodied; Playmaker's imposters do a very unconvincing job of imitating him.

*[[Good Is Not Nice]]:To unbelievable degrees. He's a hacker, a [[No-Nonsense Nemesis]] and a cold-hearted [[Jerkass]] who wants to [[Revenge]] make the Knights of Hanoi pay the price for their involvement in the "past incident".

*[[Good Old Ways]]:Downplayed, but he uses an older modeled Duel Disk which requires physical cards, as opposed to Duel Disks which can utilize cards in data format.

Line 59:

Line 62:

*[[Mysterious Past]]:To the audience. As of episode 4, what happened to him is a major mystery for the viewers.

*[[Mysterious Protector]]:His role as Playmaker. He doesn't even bother revealing his secret identity to others.

*[[My Significance Sense Is Tingling]]:Appears to have he power to "sense" things. Though he might know how it works, the audience doesn't. So far he's used it to:

**Comprehend and decrypt parts of an extremely complex (and original) algorithm after just a few days of studying it

**Sense when Revolver's digital presence is nearby (while Yusaku is in the real world

**Determine that Go isn't a real Knight of Hanoi

*[[Naive Newcomer]]: He's far from naive and he uses Duel Monsters as his personal weapons but he's likely new to Speed Dueling.which Yusaku himself lampshades by questioning whether or not he already knows how to Speed Duel.

*[[No-Nonsense Nemesis]]:He is not dueling for fun but for Revenge

*[[No Social Skills]]:Kinda. His idea of getting close to Aoi is stalking her around the school, and see BrutalHonesty.

*[[Online Alias]]:Playmaker

*[[Ordinary High School Student]]: He starts out as one, with a dislike for standing out. He is also the first main character in the franchise who is not a gamer at the beginning.

Line 68:

Line 76:

*[[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Go and Blue Angel attempt to confront Playmaker in a Duel after he defeats a Knight of Hanoi, but dismissively remarks that he has no interest in either of them, and proceeds to log out of Link VRAINS.

*[[Serious Business]]:He treats Dueling as a means of hunting down the Knights of Hanoi.

*[[Sherlock Scan]]: In his [[Establishing Character Moment]], he deduces Naoki's personality and skill level in dueling just by listening to him talk about duel disks and VRAINS. This carries over into his duels, where he's very good at analyzing the field and makes moves that seem poor to onlookers, but serve a greater strategy Yusaku is working towards.

*[[Shrinking Violet]]:Averted the reason why he doesn't like to stand out isnt because he is shy or timid but because he is a hacker

*[[The Smart Guy]]:Said to be extremely smart and clever

*[[Big Brother Instinct]]:He seems to be involved in Yusaku's mission in order to help his little brother. Downplayed with Yusaku, as he helps him fight life or death battles.

*[[The Confidant]]:To Yusaku, as possibly the only person who knows about Yusaku's abilities.

*[[Cool Big Bro]]:Acts this to Yusaku

*[[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]:He may be a hot dog vendor but he is actually a skilled hacker.

*[[The Gadfly]]:Show some shades of this, teasing Yusaku over his lack of social skills with women.

*[[Hacker Cave]]:His hotdog van doubles as one.

*[[Parental Substitute]]:Possibly. He seems to be the closest thing Yusaku has to a guardian, though he acts more like a brother-figure.

*[[Secret Keeper]]:To Yusaku

*[[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]:He has dark purple hair

*[[Parental Abandonment]]:He and Aoi lives by themselves without their parents and we have no idea what happen to their parents and that is the main reason why He devotes himself to work for Aoi’s sake, but due to that, he usually doesn’t have the chance to come home.
