Line 14:
* [[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.
* [[The Atoner]]: After realizing that Revolver was the same individual who motivated Yusaku during the Lost Incident with the "three reasons" [[Survival Mantra]], Yusaku tries to enforce this trope on him, attempting to convince him to amend his ways by stopping the Tower of Hanoi and walking a new path. Revolver declines, however, and will stop the Tower of Hanoi only when he's defeated in a Duel.
* [[Awesome By Analysis]]:Said to be a genius duelist and hacker who excels at reading people. See EstablishingCharacterMoment below.
* [[Badass Back]]:His Powercode Talker pierces through Faust's Spreader Queen, not bothering to look back as the latter is destroyed.
Line 94 ⟶ 95:
**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.
*[[Nice Job Breaking It Hero]]: In his second Master Duel against Revolver. Had Playmaker not negated the Effect of Topologic Bomber Dragon, Revolver wouldn't have been able to perform multiple Link Summons due to Topologic Bomber's Effect, much less even Extra Link.
*[[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.
Line 120 ⟶ 122:
*[[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
**Played a little straight in #6, where he has no idea how to approach Aoi, and gets nervous before entering the Duel Club room.
**He was this as a child as a child he was very shy and timid and didnt have confidence in his ability after getting encouragement from an unknown individual he became the confident badass he is today
*[[The Smart Guy]]:Said to be extremely smart and clever
*[[The Stoic]]: Prefers to distance himself from others due to his Playmaker business.
Line 132 ⟶ 133:
*[[Unstoppable Rage]]:Towards the Knights of Hanoi and he's still sour about the "Lost Incident" until now.
*[[Vigilante Man]]:Hunts down the Knights of Hanoi and is branded as an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] by the Charisma Duelists, but SOL Technology Inc. sees him as a hacker.He also trusts only himself to uncover the truth about the ten-year old incident.
*[[When He Smiles]]: During his second Master Duel against Revolver. In spite of the face of adversity he's in after being overwhelmed by Revolver's Extra Linked Monsters, Playmaker manages to smile, to Ai's surprise.
*[[You Are Too Late]]:
**Fails to stop Makoto from being forcefully dragged into LINK VRAINS (and subsequently being turned into an Another victim).
Line 184 ⟶ 186:
*[[What Measure Is a Non Human]]:Most people only see it as a tool. Yusaku's poor treatment of it comes from the fact that he doesn't think it can feel or actually think, just that it's programmed to keep itself out of anyone's control.
 
===Shoichi Kusanagi (Koulter)===
[[File:Full Body view of Shoichi Kusanagi.png|thumb]]
A hacker who shares the same motives as Yusaku.he Mysterious Hot-dog Vendor:
He works as a hot-dog vendor in the city. However, that is merely a cover, as he is actually a skilled hacker who supports Playmaker in Dueling.
 
Voiced by: Subaru Kimura (Japanese),Sam Black (English)
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
*[[Berserk Button]]:Trivializing his past. Even a mention of his and his brother's past by anyone who is not Yusaku is enough to enrage the normally laid-back Kusanagi.

*[[Attention Whore]]:His first spoken line in the series is to complain about Playmaker supposedly taking his spotlight, hinting that he has a big ego dispite his friendly demeanor.This is [[Deconstructed]] at the same time: Go grew up in an orphanage and as thanks, decided to become a Charisma Duelist so he earn money, could repay their kindness, and make children happy.

===Ryoken Kogami/Revolver (Varis)===
[[File:Ygo vrains revolver.png|thumb]]
The enigmatic leader of the Knights of Hanoi.
 
Voiced by: Shunsuke Takeuchi (Japanese),Daniel J Edwards (English)
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
*[[Anti-Magic]]:A variant. His Fire Prison Field Spell functions as an anti-Cyberse card, in which it can negate the effects of all Cyberse-Type Monsters on the field, hand, and Graveyard, prevent them from attacking, and cannot be targeted for attacks (although this doesn't stop either player from attacking directly) or by card effects. At least two Cyberse-Type Link Monsters on the field are a prerequisite to activate this effect. As demonstrated in his Master Duel against Playmaker, this, too, affects Ignis, causing him to malfunction and fade away.
Cyberse-Type Monsters on the field, hand, and Graveyard, prevent them from attacking, and cannot be targeted for attacks (although this doesn't stop either player from attacking directly) or by card effects. At least two Cyberse-Type Link Monsters on the field are a prerequisite to activate this effect. As demonstrated in his Master Duel against Playmaker, this, too, affects Ignis, causing him to malfunction and fade away.
*[[Anti-Villain]]: Like Dr. Kogami he wants Yusaku to understand that the Ignis has the capacity to harm humanity and they need to be stoped in order to save it.Despite being the BigBad main antagonist of the series, he is just trying to take care of his father and finish his plan of destroying the Cyberse and Ignis all for the greater good. His father created the Ignis to save humanity from a currently unknown threat only for the Ignis to turn on them and have the ability to lie and cheat. He feels like he has to destroy the Ignis to not make everything worse.
*[[Arch Enemy]]:Unlike Kaiba and his successors, whose rivalry with their respective main characters are mainly out of respect, Revolver is openly hostile to Yusaku.
*[[Badass Baritone]]: A deep voiced man in charge of Knights of Hanoi
Line 534 ⟶ 551:
**He is on the receiving end as well: Faust and Baira, his two associates, clearly care for his well-being and see him as a younger sibling. Baira is even concerned that he will have to take on the burden of becoming the worst cyber terrorist in history should their plan succeed.
*[[Evil Counterpart]]:Physically to Yusaku and his Playmaker alter ego. Made sense that Revolver is wearing white clothing in stark contrast to the latter's black.
*[[Evil Albino]]: His appearance in real life.
*[[Expy]]
**Arguably to [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Kaiba]] in the Death-T arc: He's the opposite of the main character, has a dragon-like ace monster with 3000 ATK and an opposite attribute, and is introduced as a villain.
Line 546 ⟶ 564:
*[[Irony]]:The Knights of Hanoi are out to destroy the AI World that is Cyberse, yet Revolver possesses Topologic Bomber Dragon, which is a Cyberse-Type Monster. He claims it is because it is fun to fight poison with poison.
*[[I Gave My Word]]:He keeps his promise and gives Playmaker the removal program for the virus in Aoi's brain after he's defeated by Playmaker.
*[[Ironic Name]]: Revolver's real first name, Ryoken, can translate to "forgiveness/tolerance". He ''definitely'' can't tolerate AI and he doesn't seem to be very forgiving.
*[[It's All My Fault]]:Blames his obsession with uncovering Playmaker's real world identity for the downfall of the Three Lieutenants of Hanoi.
*[[Just Following Orders]]:Dismisses the idea of fighting for others or for oneself, and acts only in accordance with Kogami's wishes.
Line 551 ⟶ 570:
*[[Magic Poker Equation]]:It is revealed during his first Duel against Playmaker that he, too, can utilise Storm Access
*[[Meaningful Name]]:Revolver may either refer to "revolt" or the six-rounded handgun.
*[[My Greatest Failure]]:He deeply regrets reporting the Lost Incident because it led his father to being imprisoned for three years by SOL Technologies.*[[More Dakka]]:Uses an energy lasso to launch Playmaker's D-Board back to him
*[[New Media Are Evil]]:He holds this opinion, not liking how VRAINS basically lets people lie to each other, seeing it all as a falsehood before life and breath.
*[[Not So Stoic]]:When Ai eats his arm he looks visibally disturb.
*[[Online Alias]]:Revolver or Varis in English dub
*[[The Rival]]:As opposed to Go's Friendly Rival, Revolver is actually Yusaku's main (and downright bitter) rival.
*[[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.
*[[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.
*[[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.
*[[Taking You with Me]]: Invoked in his Speed Duel against Playmaker. Revolver Summons Condenser Deathstalker to the Main Monster Zone pointed to by Topologic Bomber Dragon's upper Link Arrow so the latter can destroy all cards in both players' Main Monster Zones, and take advantage of the former's effect to force a tie between him and Playmaker.
*[[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.
*[[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.
*[[Worthy Opponent]]:He expresses his desire to rematch Playmaker and defeat him after losing his first Duel against him. He admits to his father that he wants to track Playmaker down even though it would jeopardize their plans.
Line 600 ⟶ 624:
*[[Plant Person]]:The Sunavalon archetype is based upon dyrads, some being a face on a tree, but others being humanoid plants.
*[[Parental Abandonment]]: As an infant, he was left behind in a tree located behind an orphanage by his biological parents.
*[[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Spectre is a Knight of Hanoi who revered a certain tree that cared for him since infancy as sacred and motherly; this trait carries on through his Sunavalon Link Monsters. He also has no problem sadistically torturing and toying with Blue Angel during his Duel with her.
*[[Rage Breaking Point]]:
** Playmaker's Excode Talker sealing the two Main Monster Zones pointed to by Sunavalon Daphne was the last straw for Spectre, who then plays dirty by revealing Akira, trapped in a thorny prison installed with a computer virus, in front of Playmaker.
Line 614 ⟶ 639:
*[[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.
*[[Would Hit A Girl]]: Has no problem torturing and toying with Blue Angel during his Duel with her.
 
 
Line 670 ⟶ 696:

*[[Broken Bird]]:His [[Dark and Troubled Past]] being improsend as a child and underground hellish experiment has made him this
* [[Break the Cutie]]:Being one of the children that got kidnap for Hanoi Project has hit this trope really hard for him.Once Upon a time he was just a normal 6 year old instead of [[The Stoic]],[[Broken Brid|broken]],[[Empty Shell]] we know him today then he got kidnap and was imprisoned for 6 months and was badly totured and develop a deep trauma which made him to close his heart from the world
*[[Chekhov MIA]]:He is mentioned often by Yusaku and Kusanagi and like Yusaku he was also involved in Lost Incident 10 years ago and it is likely he will make a major appearance at some point
