Line 21:
* [[Badass Bookworm]]:He's a hacker who gains fame in the Network World for defeating the Knights of Hanoi in fierce Duels.
* [[Badass in Distress]]:Playmaker gets captured by Ghost Girl so he can be interrogated regarding Aoi/Blue Angel's comatose state.
* [[Bad Dreams]]: Experiences horrific [[Recurring Dreams]] of his days of imprisonment, permanently hampering his ability to fall sleep properly. After Season 1, it's unclear if he has recovered from it since the the defeat of the Knights of Hanoi and the death of Kogami.
* [[BFS]]:His Decode Talker wields a greatsword.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]:As Playmaker he is prone to do this
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
* [[Broken Bird]]:His [[Dark and Troubled Past]] and The Hanoi Project has made him qualify this trope which causes him to be more bitter,sour and vengful driving towards revenge.
* [[Brutal Honesty]]:Playmaker doesn't mince his words when he dismissively remarks that he is disinterested in GO and Blue Angel.
*[[Break The Cutie]]: Yusaku was an adorable child and was very happy.Fancy watching that child get tortured and starved for six months.
* [[Catch Phrase]]:Some variation of three reasons when analyzing situations or reading people.
* [[Cyber Goth]]:Yusaku uses the Cyberse archetype, which all fit this theme.
Line 41 ⟶ 43:
**-->'''AI in Naoki's Duel Disk:''' Hello there.
**-->'''Yusaku:''' Yeah, hi.
* [[Defrosting Ice King]]:Towards
* [[Determinator]]: Yusaku isn't the type to give up easily, or at all.
* [[Electric Torture]]:Back when he was in confinement, he would be electrocuted every time he lost a Duel in the VR space and be denied food.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: In-universe and lampshaded by Revolver, after Playmaker defeats a Knight of Hanoi.
Line 52 ⟶ 55:
**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.
Line 72 ⟶ 74:
*[[Hoist by His Own Petard]]:Subverted. Playmaker's Summoning of Stack Reviver while Cracking Dragon is present on the Knight of Hanoi's Field would've costed the former the Duel if his Monster boasts an original ATK of at least 400 (Playmaker had exactly 400 LP left at the time he Summoned it)
*[[Heal Thyself]]:When a Link Monster co-linked to his Binary Sorceress battles an opponent's Monster and inflicts battle damage to them, he gains LP equal to the amount of damage inflicted.
*[[Invincible Hero]]: Although he has gotten hurt in his battles, so far, Playmaker has thoroughly been invincible and has not lost a single battle (those where he 'lost' was when Revolver forced a draw)
*[[Ice King]]:He's aloof and is not the type of person whom other people can easily approach to.
*[[I Just Want to Be Normal]]:Prefers to be this until his first play in VR Dueling.
Line 79 ⟶ 82:
** To follow up with the above, he has made it a point that he wants others to stay away from his battles. However, as VRAINS as a whole it typically under attack, he ends up collaborating with Go and Blue Angel.
*[[Ill Boy]]::Downplayed but he has severe PTSD. His methods of eating are unhealthy and he frequently looks tired and collapse after logging out of LINK VRAINS
*[[Jade Colored Glasses]]: When he was younger, Yusaku used to be much happier and loved dueling. However,after the incident, Yusaku had trouble living day to day life and is still recovering from the lingering effects of trauma since then. He became jaded and cynical, becoming consumed with revenge for the one who did this to him and the five other children.
*[[Kid Detective]]:He is a hacker who solves mysterious in cool manner
*[[Kick The Dog]]:What Go thinks of him showing up and "snatching" the spotlight (even if it's unintentional). In Playmaker's defese though, [[Subverted Trope|he didn't ask for fame in the first place]].
Line 134 ⟶ 138:
*[[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.
* [[Worlds BestWarrior: The best duelist in VRAINs and is so far undefeated.
*[[You Are Too Late]]:
**Fails to stop Makoto from being forcefully dragged into LINK VRAINS (and subsequently being turned into an Another victim).
Line 170 ⟶ 175:
**To [[Yu-Gi-Oh|Atem]],[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (anime)|Yubel]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal|Astral]].Unlike any of them, he is much more goofy and amiable. Also, his purpose is immediately made clear upon his introduction, unlike his more mysterious predecessors.
**His attitude makes him one to Yusaku.
*[[The Gadfly]]:Being an AI doesn't make him any less capable of teasing Yusaku for being unable to talk to girls.
*[[Heroic Wannabe]]:
Line 536 ⟶ 540:
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]:She is also a very skilled duelist and she can put her opponents in big disadvantage during her duels
* [[Adrenaline Makeover]]: Her VRAINS Avatar transition from the cutesy Blue Angel to the mysterious and spicy Blue Girl that resemble and idol rocker. Justified in that Blue Girl is better for the stealthier operations she is doing with Ghost Girl, while Blue Angel sticks out. It is emphasized by a few of her new cards and effects, such as Trickstar Gig, and her fusion monster, Trickstar Band Sweet Guitar.
* [[Amazon Brigade]]:All of her Trickstars are females
* [[Ambiguous Disorder]]:Out of Vrains her lack of emotion and suspicion of others (if not for good reason) bring up a few possible ailments, among them depression.
Line 580 ⟶ 584:
* [[Genki Girl]]:As Blue Angel her personality is this being happy and cheery who gets excited so easily contrast to her Aoi personality.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: As Blue Angel, her hair is tied up like this.
* [[Girls Love Stuffed Animals]]: As a child, she carried around a stuffed doll of Evilswarm Mandragoa.
* [[Hair Decorations]]: Her twintails in her VR form are held up by dark blue bows.
* [[Humiliation Conga]]:Suffers this twice
Line 592 ⟶ 597:
* [[Love Freak]]: Accused of this by Spectre, who mocks her for her Blue Love that she shares for others in her attempt to be Blue Angel.
* [[Magical Girl]]: Blue Angel take on the appearance of a blue-haired magical girl with twintails and angelic wings marked with hearts and purple four-leaf clovers.
* [[Magical Incantation]]: While all the characters invoke one when Link Summoning, Aoi's reflects her character change. As Blue Angel she involved the circuit of dreams and hope. As Blue Girl she invokes the Circuit of determination and courage.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Her online handle, Blue Angel, references the fact that she uses a Trickstar Deck, which is composed of Fairy-Types.
* [[Multicolored Hair]]: As Blue Angel, her blue hair sports light blue highlights.
Line 605 ⟶ 611:
*[[Slipknot Ponytail]]:After her defeat by Playmaker, her twin-tails fall out as she falls.
*[[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: she's cruel underneath her energetic surface. This is reflected in Holly Angel's counterpart, Trickstar Sweet Devil, who uses a staff lined with thorns to attack, but is a LIGHT monster.
*[[Shrinking Violet]]: Particularly as a child, she was polite and timid, holding on to her mother in a flashback. As a teen she's more reserved and quiet than outright shy.
*[[Tall Dark and Bishojo]]:Oh yes
*[[Trauma Conga Line]]:Basically the latter half of Episode 7 is this for her. First, she learns that her [[Gradual Grinder]] strategy allowed Playmaker to use his [[Game Breaker|game breaking]] skill to get the monster he needed. Then she starts feeling the effect of the [[The Corruption|"Dark Angel"]] card which messes with her mind. After that, she realizes that Playmaker is about to OneHitKill her and tries to reduce him to 0 LP before he can do so, only to to be stopped and forced to use the "Dark Angel" card. This results in her getting MindRape from Hanoi's program. Finally, she loses anyway and is put into a coma in the next episode. To top it off, this was all streamed ''live'' to both her fans and her brother.
Line 691 ⟶ 698:
*[[Online Alias]]: Ghost Girl
*[[Our Ghosts Are Different]]:Although the actually archetype is made up of spellcasters, the Altergeists are made up of poltergeists from around the world
*[[Pragmatic Hero]]: Although herioc, not very much of an idealist and willing to do shady and illegal acts such as infiltrating and stealing SOL's company data
*[[Something About a Rose]]:She throws a rose at Playmaker's feet to spring a trap on Playmaker.
*[[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Multiple shades of pink and purple
Line 734 ⟶ 742:
*[[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.
*[[Death By a Thousand Cuts]]:The effect of their Cracking Dragon involves reducing the ATK of a Monster Summoned by the opponent equal to their level multiplied by 200 (as long as exactly one Monster is Summoned at a time), and inflicts the lost amount to the opponent as Effect Damage. Needless to say, Link Monsters are unaffected by this Effect since they don't possess levels.
*[[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.
**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.
Line 949 ⟶ 958:
Voiced by":Ryoko Shiraishi(Japanese)
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
*[[Artificial Intelligence]]: He's the second generation AI created by Lightning. However since this was claimed by Bohman it's really hard to say if it's true or not.
*[[Child Prodigy]]:Let's see...he analyzed Playmaker's data to learn his strategies, coded Bohman with an anti-Ignis program, and seems to be under the age of 13 based on his avatar.
*[[Crazy-Prepared]]: Haru ensured that Bohman was equipped with an anti-Ignis program in the event that Bohman lost and would get his memories consumed by Ai.
*[[Hidden Depths]]: Was okay with the silhouetted figure "resetting" Bohman's memories in episode 50. Just what is he hiding to be okay with someone doing such a thing to his older brother?
*[[Sibling Team]]: Is working with Bohman, his older brother, to regain their memories.Subverted He's actually Bohman's handler, meant to make sure he gathered the Duel Data necessary to turn him into a complete 3rd Gen Ignis.
*[[Spell My Name With An S]]: Is it "Haru" or "Hal"?
*[[You Have Failed Me]]: He quickly fires Bit and Boot after the pair fail to defeat Soulburner.
Line 962 ⟶ 972:
Voiced by:Kenji Matsuda(Japanese)
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
*[[Artificial Human:]] In his third duel with Playmaker he claims that he is actually an advanced AI that was still in the prototype phase, and needed to duel Playmaker and Ai to finish his development. [[ Multiple Choice Past|anyone's guess if this is true or not.]]
*[[Deliberate Injury Gambit]]:Bohman will allow himself to take damage so that he can meet the prerequisite for activating his Skill, Marker's Portal, though at the same time, his LP need only be less than or equal to its original value of 4000, thus allowing him to activate it as he sees fit and making the need to take damage redundant, assuming his current LP doesn't exceed its original value.
*[[Fake Memories]]: Playmaker buys none of Bohman's claims that he is the real Yusaku, deducing that Bohman was imprinted with fake memories pertaining to his true identity.
Line 973 ⟶ 984:
*[[It's Personal]]: After awakening with new memories, Bohman bears a personal vendetta against Playmaker, and vows to push him into a state of despair in a Master Duel.
*[[No Name Given]]: His real name is unknown
*[[Sibling Team]]:Is working with Haru, his little brother, to regain their memories.Subverted later on, as Haru was never his little brother, rather he was Bohman's handler while Lightning was developing Bohman into a 3rd Gen Ignis.
*[[Superior Successor]]: Intended to be this by Lightning since Bohman is actually the 3rd Generation AI, designed by him to be the one who unites the six Ignis together. He was incomplete without an origin however, requiring to duel Playmaker and Ai in order to obtain their duel data.]] Of course, since [[Multiple Choice Past|this is the third origin]] he's laid claim to there's no way of knowing if it's true.
*[[Spell My Name with an "S"]]:Is it "Bowman" or "Bohman"?
*[[Your Soul Is Mine]]:A disguised Bohman sucks away Jin's soul and escapes into LINK VRAINS, leaving Jin an [[Empty Shell]].
Line 1,052 ⟶ 1,064:
*[[The Leader]]: Ai considers him this, he's described as calm, cool and collected which fits the leader role.
*[[Light Is Not Good]]: Lightning is an Ignis based on the LIGHT attribute, and is up to no good as shown when he reveals his intentions to rule over humanity within a newly constructed Cyberse World that is beyond human reach.
*[[A Lighter Shade Of Black]]: By his own admission, he's not as cruel as Windy, who chose to eliminate his Lost Incident victim. He's still all too willing to enslave his own origin, Jin, instead.
*[[The Smart Guy]]: Ai also said he's too smart and because of that he can't understand him.
*[[The Man Behind the Man]]: He's the one responsible for manipulating Bohman's memories
*[[This Means War]]: After negotiations for humanity and AI to coexist peacefully fall apart completely following Windy's near-termination at the hands of the Knights of Hanoi, Lightning declares war on humanity.
*[[Villainous Rescue]]: A variant, he saves Windy from being deleted by the Knights of Hanoi at the last possible moment.
*[[Xanatos Gambit]]: He stakes one on the outcome of Windy and Revolver's duel. If the former wins, he'll see it as evidence that humans are inferior to the Ignis and should be subjugated by them. If the latter wins, he knows that Revolver will attempt to erase Windy and can use it as evidence that humans pose a threat to the Ignis, framing it as a premise to declare war on humanity with the goal of subjugating or exterminating them. Either way, he has a valid means to justify his position that the Ignis are superior to humans and should rule over them.
