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

**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.

*[[Foil]]

**To [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|Yuya]] Their attitude, deck themes, and appearances are opposites to each other: While Yuya is an entertainer and a All-Loving Hero who enjoys the limelight, Yusaku is an expert hacker and a ruthless [[Anti-Hero]] who would rather sit on the sidelines. Yuya believes Dueling should be fun to both himself and everyone watching and never a war tool, while Yusaku doesn't enjoy it and uses it as a tool for his [[Revenge]]. Yuya uses a deck full of clowns, circus animals, dragons, and classic magicians, while Yusaku's deck is themed after VR beings, with the added difference of Yuya using a specific archetype with a large amount of monster types while Yusaku uses various Cyberse-type monsters that don't share an archetype. And finally, Yuya has a bright and colorful appearance, while Yusaku appears to be more bleak and realistic.

*[["No Respect" Guy]]:Everyone is after him, but no one takes him seriously

*[[Plucky Comic Relief]]:He serves as the main comic relief for the show

*[[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]:The jokissh self centred red oni to Yusaku's blue

*[[Saying Too Much]]:Ai's "panicking" in an attempt to goad Ghost Girl's Primebanshee into attacking Playmaker's Lockout Gardna fails after her AI informs her of Storm Access and the prerequisite to activate it.

**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.

*[[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]].

*[[You Are Too Late]]:Arrives too late to stop Dr. Genome from turning Makoto into an Another victim.

A ruthless bounty hunter acquainted with Akira and Emma, hired by SOL Technologies.to capture Playmaker's Ignis. In LINK VRAINS, he is known as Blood Shepherd. Uses a Drone deck, which relies on burn damage and direct attacks and locking down his opponent's Link Monsters.

**Kengo loved his mother greatly, and her near-death on her birthday after their AI-Taxi crashed drives his anger towards AI.

**Implied for Emma. He and Ghost Girl appear to have a hidden connection and when he saved her from the hacker's bomb, he called her by her real name before leaving.

*[[The Faceless]]: In the real world, Blood Shepherd covers his face with a pair of sunglasses and a scarf. His face is fully revealed in a flashback, and he's fairly normal looking.

*[[Foil]]: A surprising one for Revolver, of all people.

**Revolver had roughly a thousand subordinated, Kengo on the other hand either operates solo or in very small groups.

*[[Freudian Excuse]]: He believes that AI should be controlled and overseen by humans, because on his mother's birthday, the taxi they were in was AI controlled but malfunctioned and caused them to drive into an otherwise avoidable accident, rendering her paraplegic and his arm nerve dead.

*[[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: Ruthlessly deals with the two delinquent penguins, who were hackers that modded themselves to hurt others, and has also picked a fight with him.

*[[Mage Killer]]: His Drone deck has a lot of means to counter Link Monsters, which spells trouble for him when Playmaker Fusion Summons.

*[[Space Cowboy]]: Blood Shepherd's avatar is that of a futuristic armored cowboy.

*[[Start of Darkness]]: The near loss of his mother turned him into a brutal laconic Bounty Hunter that ruthlessly destroys hackers.

*[[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: Prior to the incident which crippled himself and his mother, Kengo was an upbeat guy who cared very much for his mother's wellbeing.

{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

*[[Hoist by His Own Petard]]:Both Playmaker and Soulburner circumvent the trap activated by SOL Technologies like it's no one's business. The same cannot be said for Kenmochi and Yoroizaka, however, as the trap blows up on them, sending them flying off into the distance.
