v · d · e



  • Cannot Talk to Women: Shoichi and Ai claim this about Yusaku, though it's really more like No Social Skills.
  • The Corruption:Specter bestows the Dark Angel card on Blue Angel, which also affects the AI on her Duel Disk, in which it responds rudely to Ignis.
  • Crazy Prepared: Yusaku keeps another deck handy just in case other duelists want to look at it and blow his cover as Playmaker.
  • Honey Trap:Yusaku attempts to be a platonic version by befriending Aoi, but Aoi is very used to false friends. Naturally, Shoichi and Ai keep teasing him about "talking to girls" and "picking up chicks."
  • Never Trust a Trailer:The synopsis makes it sound like Blue Angel is going to fall for Specter's lies. She calls him out on it right away, and he only claims to be a fan as a way of commenting on her skills- i.e. that he thinks she might be able to defeat Playmaker.
