• Episode 3: SOL Technology Inc. wants to find out the identity of Playmaker. However, shouldn't they have an account database where they could look up his real name? After all, they are the ones who built and run Link VRAINS.
  • Yusaku is stated by Ignis to constantly cover his tracks in Link VRAINS, meaning he more than likely uses his hacker skills to prevent any digital footprint from being left. SOL Technology Inc. probably can't track him cause there is nothing to track. Not to mention his account may not be registered, but rather he forced himself in and used a pseudo account.
• In Episode 5: Yusaku pulled out 3 entirely new Link monsters we haven't seen him use before. Did he obtain some of these offscreen or did they all come out of the data storm? If they all came out of the data storm then that means Storm Access is significantly more broken and Asspulley then we thought.
  • He had Stack Reviver in his previous duel when he used it with the newly acquired Decode Talker. Link Monsters aren't something he newly created and it implies that he already had some Link Monsters in his deck.
  • Both Go and Aoi have link monsters without getting them from data storms, and the very theme of Yusaku's deck revolves around unique cards that were believed lost, so it's quite likely he had link monsters before. Storm Access allows him to get new, powerful ones, but it isn't stated anywhere that it's the only way he has to get them.
• In Episode 8: Revolver says that the reason that he had Aoi infected with the Card of Hanoi was to take her hostage and force Playmaker to have to duel him. However, Yusaku's been actively fighting the Knights of Hanoi at every opportunity to the exclusion of all else; why would it be necessary for them to take a hostage to get Playmaker to do what he would have done on his own as soon as Revolver showed himself?
  • The Knights of Hanoi are Evil Assholes. Even if their Objectives turn out to be Well Intentioned Extremist They spend alot of time polishing their proverbial metal boot for when a proverbial puppy strolls by ripe for the kicking.
• In the first episode of Season 2, Kusanagi says he lives in his hot dog truck. So then, is that house we kept seeing Yusaku's? If so, how does he afford to live in such a nice place when he apparently has no known family, guardians or source of income? Even assuming he helps out Kusanagi(which is shown to be unlikely in the same episode considering his clear struggles while watching over it), it's highly unlikely that working a hot dog vendor could give enough to cover the expenses of a house like that.
  • It's possible that Kusanagi normally doesn't, but could do so. Given how Jin's been living, he honestly might be more comfortable in the narrower space of the truck that a larger, more spacious house.
  • That still doesn't answer how either of them can afford a house like that when their only known source of income is a hot dog truck.
  • Yusaku's house seems to be older in age and less modern in style, so it could be cheaper. On the other hand, it's a three-story house with a balcony (so it couldn't be that cheaper) and he even has a futuristic hidden room, and a robot maid (albeit of a much smaller variety)......my only guess is that he rent the top of his house. The full appearance of his house is shown already, and there is a garden on top of his house which for some reason is connected to the two taller buildings to the right and left of his house.
