Line 61:
**After Soulburner defeats BitBoot, Flame says that he knew that they were no match for them. Only for Soulburner to tell him that earlier he said that it was all over for him.
**Bit and Boot's final words to each other are "You are fired!". Cue Haru dismissing the pair by setting them alight on fire.
*Episode 50
**Ai is locked up again in Yusaku's Duel Disk. Yusaku gives him three reasons why he did it.
#1: Kusanagi is emotionally hurt because his brother's consciousness was stolen. It's good to have someone he can talk to who knows our situation.
#2: The attack on your homeworld and on Kusanagi's brother troubles me. And their Teammates wanted an Ignis. You may be linked to this incident.
#3: And this is the Most Important. Being a hostage suits you.
**According to Flame, Brave Max is also known as Playmaker's best friend.
Apparently Flame named himself Flame, because in kanji it means "indomitable soul dream" and says that it's a cool name unlike someone's cutesy name.
**Yusaku wants to go somewhere where there's information about their enemy, but it's probably a trap laid out for him. As usual Ai doesn't want to go. With more people added to their crew (Takeru Homura and Flame) he decides to hold a majority vote to make it fair. As expected only Ai himself votes not to go.
*Episode 51
**Soulburner asks Flame what GO's strategies are. Flame jokes and says that "he'll "go go" and attack.", because his name is Go Onizuka. Soulburner's reaction to this is priceless.◊
*Episode 53
**When Blood Shepherd restores Playmaker's lifepoints to avert Storm Access, Ai begs him to keep the life points the way one might react to an unwanted gift.
*Episode 56
**While Soulburner was in a disadvantage during his duel with Blue Girl, Flame encourages him by saying that he still has one huge advantage: himself as an excellent AI partner that will hlelp bloom his dormant abilities. Soulburner asks in detail what he can do for him. With a grin Flame says he'll be a compassionate observer from up close. Soulburner rejects it.
*Episode 60
**If you're looking for an action-packed duel between Ghost Girl and Brave Max...well...the title of the episode is "Brave Max, the Loser" after all. Brave Max makes several amateur mistakes during his duel, most notably sacrificing his 2 2600 ATK Green Baboons for a single 2600 ATK Metal Baboon, all because he didn't bother to check and see if Link Monsters were immune to bounce (return to the hand) effects, and simply assumed they were based on mechanics.
**During the first half of the duel, Ghost Girl and Blue Girl were under the assumption that Brave Max was a duelist that Playmaker personally chose as an ally. So Ghost Girl tests his skills with a basic field and even explains to watch out for Altergeist Silquitous's Effect to see how he will counter it. Then for most of Brave Max's turn, they try to take his amateur moves super seriously and assume it was part of some strategy beyond their understanding.
**After Ghost Girl wins, she and Blue Girl agree the duel was a waste of time. And Blue Girl still has to go to her own event she setup to lure Brave Max. Brave Max on the other hand cries about his loss and vows to become stronger for Playmaker's sake and promptly forgets about it all after he remembers the Blue Angel event.
**While it may not be as funny as the "duel". The sheer amount of [[Dramatic Irony]] in the conversation about Playmaker's identity between Akira, Emma and Aoi makes it unintentionally funny despite it being a serious conversation between them.
**Such as Akira saying that Playmaker's personality and speech may be different in real life than in LINK VRAINSnote .
**Aoi replies that a person't true nature doesn't change and that they should know if he's nearbynote .
*Episode 61
**When Takeru first heard of "LINK VRAINS" and "Playmaker", he thought they were "Link Brains" and "Playmater".
**Takeru had to ask his friend Kiku how to scroll down on her tablet, highlighting his Hopeless with Tech side.
**While it was part of a trauma, there is something unintentionally funny about how Takeru's trauma involves a 2800 ATK monster whose sole effect is a ridiculously specific self Special Summon effect that is almost unlikely to ever happen, meaning it is vulnerable to every single form of removal in the game. In fact, the self Special Summon effect is so specific that Takeru's opponent prefer to Special Summon it using another card's effect instead.
**Not to mention, while he might not have it as a child, he now has, and currently control, Phoenix Gearfried, an equally strong 2800 ATK monster, along with Valkyrian Knight, which would redirect attack to her, saving Phoenix Gearfried.
*Episode 64
**While Yusaku is in school Ai is flying in the Duel Disk enjoying the view. Then he’s called by Kusanagi for something nice. Next scene he’s unhappy that a menu got tied to the disk and was told to do 10 laps around the city.
**Then he’s distracted by Takeru coming here alone and hits a pole then falls on to Takeru’s head.
**Flame is curious that free Duel Disks can fall out of the sky in Den City until Ai explains that he can fly. (Ai-chan fly!) Flame suggests that his own Duel Disk could be given wheels, which actually is an entire car in his imagination.
**A meta funny, in his flashback duel, Yusaku is beating the Knights of Hanoi with a starter deck.
*Episode 65
*In episode 64, Naoki made it seem like he knew Yusaku's secret, to the point Yusaku complied with Naoki's demands to go to a secret place to talk. In episode 65, Naoki revealed what the secret was...only that it was not the one Yusaku was concerned with—or even knew was supposed to be a secret.
**Naoki: "I know your secret."
Yusaku frowns
**Naoki: Smirks "Hey, Playmaker...is my soulmate, right? And since you're my best friend, you should feel proud too!"
**Yusaku: Still frowning "What do you want to talk about?"
**Naoki: Smirks again "I know you have a part-time job."
**Yusaku looks confused and tilts his head to the side
**Naoki: "I saw you working at the hot dog stand. The school forbids working part-time jobs, but I'm not so petty to snitch on you. However..." Postcards suddenly materialize "Help me fill out postcards to enter Blue Angel's handshake event—"
**Yusaku walks away, disinterested
**Naoki: "Hey! Fujiki!" Crashes through the door "I'll snitch you out to Playmaker!"
*Naoki threatening to snitch Yusaku out to Playmaker, aka himself.
*Episode 66
**Ai talks about the other three Ignis after Playmaker asks about them. He talks about the Water Ignis and says that she relied on him a lot and was in love with him, while the flashback shows him hitting on her, causing her to hit him and Linkuriboh into the ground.
**He talks about the Earth Ignis. He tries to remember what he was like, and suddenly, a record scratch in the background is heard as he drags an AI that looks just like the Earth Ignis, massive and orange, only to find out that the AI is the Earth Ignis.
**Earth has [[No Social Skills]] Up to Eleven, emphasized by his Catchphrase.
**Earth: I am socially awkward.
**A meta example, but the idea that Earth, [[The Spock]] that's heavily socially awkward, is implied to be Spectre's Ignis. And Earth is heavily implied to be in love with Aqua, the Water Ignis, whose appearance, for some reason, resembles Blue Angel, the very same character that Spectre hates.
**Ai's memory of the Earth Ignis isn't so great. Playmaker calls him out on it and Ai just replies that he's....socially awkward.
*#68:The characters try to figure out what happened to Ai when he mysteriously disappeared from the Duel Disk. They investigate the last website Ai was looking at: a crossword puzzle that had a hidden Ignis code. Turns out Ai was lured to an Obvious Trap that claimed he will be given a pin shaped like himself as a reward for solving the puzzle.
**Windy managed to rebuild the Cyberse World...except that it was shoddily-made and more resembled a stage set than an acutal land. The walls even looked like they were made of cardboard!
**"Linkuriboh" not only sounded strange, he had a perpetual frown on his face. In contrast to the actual Linkuriboh always beaming around Ai.
*#69:When Revolver No Sells Windy's attempts to trap him, he responds that he wouldn't just walk into the enemy base without a plan like some people. Ai asks if he means Playmaker and him, to which a chagrined Playmaker admits yes.
**In hindsight, Yusaku did anticipate that he might be walking into a trap and benched Takeru from this excursion to prevent a repeat of the Blood Shepard incident. He was right, and as a result Takeru can follow Playmaker and potentially bail him out on his predicament. If he hadn’t, Soulburner and Flame would’ve been captured along with him.
**Revolver uses another classic trap card known to Yu-Gi-Oh! fans, Magic Cylinder and just like with Mirror Force, the characters are very surprised to see him have and use it, but what is even more hilarious is what they say about it.
***Ai: "Seriously? He already has Mirror Force! He uses incredible cards!"
***Playmaker: "Revolver always surpasses our expectations.
*#71:This unintentionally funny exchange happened between Flame and Lightning after Windy's defeat at the hands of Revolver.
**Flame: "Well, Lightning? Was it you?"note
**Lightning: "Flame, during the time we haven't seen each other, you've begun having boring discussions." Looks at Yusaku "But Playmaker, I enjoy talking to you. You don't mince words. You get straight to the point."
***And after Flame explained his reason for wanting to co-exist with humans:
**Lightning: "I understand, Flame. That you're a unique error code."
**Ai: Snickering and pointing "You're lame! He called you an error code!"
**Lightning: Narrows eyes "Ai, you too."
**Ai: Stops "What? Me too?"
**Flame: Arms crossed "Ai, everyone knew that already."
***After the Bounty Hunters came into the scene—the Knights of Hanoi having called them over—Lightning summoned a massive swarm of Bits and Boots to act as a distraction.
**A Bit: "Our first appearance in a while!"
**A Boot: Shoving that Bit out of the way "Can't wait to fight!"
**All Bits and Boots: "Let's go! Combination sequence!"
**Lightning: Arms crossed "Stop. Don't lessen your numbers."
**A Bit: Glaring "Boot's the one who said it."
**A Boot: Gets into that Bit's face "No, it was Bit."
**Lightning: Narrows his eyes "I don't care who. Hurry up and defeat them."
**That Bit and Boot: Wobbling "Right! Here we go!"
**And after Bohman appeared before Playmaker and Ai:
**Bohman: "We meet again, Playmaker. That makes me happy."
**Ai: Sweat-drops "Eh? You again? You remember who you are today?"
**Bohman: "Of course, Ai."
**Ai: Pleasantly surprised "Oh! You do remember!" Grinning and giving two thumbs up "Yay!"
***Apparently, Ai wants people to want to take him:
**Bohman: "Let's duel. Winner gets me and Ai."
**Ai: Beaming "You were after me all along?"
*#75:Ai was horrified after finding out GO had fused himself with an AI by having a chip implanted into his brain, but not for the reason most would think.
**Ai: clasps head in hands, eyes squeezed shut If I'm placed inside Go Onizuka's head, I'll become Ai Onizuka!" double eyelid pull
*76: Aqua tries to challenge Blood Shepherd to a duel, but Blood Shepherd rejects the offer for his priority is terminating the Ignis and not capturing. For an anime that relies on card games to solve conflict, it is funny to see how a conflict is trying to be solved by not following that formula.
**Aoi wakes up from her dream about Miyu, and Ema asks if the dream was about being on a date with a handsome guy, and if so she should go back to sleep in hope it resumes. Aoi is annoyed by that and tells her it wasn't.
*77: When Aoi transforms into Blue Maiden, Soulburner has the look of an excited fanboy.
Ai cuts Flame off before he tells Aqua the meaning of his name.
*78: Because they are being careful of Lightning, Ryoken and Spectre track down Kengo by being two friends hanging out and having coffee just outside of his apartment. They're basically stalking him by being normal civilians.
**Yet again, Revolver uses another classic trap card: Imperial Order. Just where does he find these cards?
*81: When Playmaker and Soulburner go to the location where they sensed Earth's signal, Ai noticed something coming for them above. Believing it's Earth, he shouts for him to come to his arms, and then immediately retracts his statement after seeing it's GO.
*Episode 83: "Irregular Meeting":
**Frog and Pigeon making fun of Brave Max for not being entertaining. They also spent their upcoming bonuses on a rocket...that made them crash land on a random island.
**Blue Maiden wonders what that explosion was and Ghost Girl guesses it was idiots with illegal modifications to their D-Boards.
**While trying to find Playmaker they trusted Brave Max who once again claimed to be his ally. And was making a show about him exploring LINK VRAINS in the meantime. Which includes getting angry responses to interviews, losing duels to pre-schoolers, rummaging in trash cans etc. The only views they get now are from the trio themselves.
*Episode 84: "Past That Cannot Be Quieted":
**The first thing that Soulburner says when Revolver throws the duel is unintentionally hilarious, because instead of saying how unsatisfying it was, he says that such a victory would look uncool.
**Windy's new look hides his scars with bandages, an eyepatch and for some reason a cape. This clothing looks just as ridiculous as it sounds, especially since Windy looks like a kid with Chuunibyou, an edgelord or both. Not helping the matter is the fact there is an "W" on his eyepatch.
**Frog and Pigeon get caught by Revolver and he traps them inside a sphere. Later on he even takes them with him to their final battle against Lightning.
*Episode 86: "Wisdom of the Deprived":
**Due to LINK VRAINS and Mirror LINK VRAINS merging, The Alliance of the Ignis Holders and Knights of Hanoi get separated and sent to different locations in VRAINS, some of which rather hilarious.
**Playmaker: A desolate street
**Blue Maiden: Outside of a city due to her flying there
**Spectre: A desert or wasteland
**Soulburner: An airport that looks normal compared to the above locations.
**Revolver: A field of flowers in a meadow Revolver's dub voice actor couldn't help but poke fun of it
***In a random shot of Link Vrains there are two people who's avatars are people in vegetable suits.
Hanoi seems to have a thing for meta-humor. In a complete inversion of the series' 'but you still take damage' Running Gag, Lightning manages to defend his life points after an attack, while Spectre gleefully points out his monster still gets destroyed.
*Episode 87: "Chain Destruction": This may be unintentional, but when Spectre talks about why he created an Extra Link, he states that he got inspired from Revolver's Extra Link in the final battle of season 1, but what makes this funny is that he states that he watched the duel many times over again or in other words he watched Revolver lose to Playmaker many times.
*Episode 92: "Big Test": Seeing Playmaker's area, which is a recreation of Den City, Pigeon is glad that they finally managed to log out. Frog frustratingly points out that they are still in their avatars.
*Episode 96: "Lightning's Crime":
**When they are teleported to the the flower area, Frog and Pigeon note how beautiful the area is. Frog wonders if it is the afterlife, while Pigeon wonders if Lightning and Revolver are Buddha and God before he recognizes them.
**While Revolver explains the free will of the Ignis and Lightning's motivations, Ai's lazy past is brought up and embarasses him.
** Lightning angrily tries to make Revolver stop talking, but Bohman wants to keep hearing the story. Ai thought Bohman was interested about his past.
