Line 18:
**Emma/Ghost Girl is well love and popular by fandom for her mysterious nature,her interactions with Akira,Playmaker and Aoi and for mercenary
**Ryoken Kogami/Revolver is one of the most popular character in the franchise mainly for having a badass deck and being the Kaiba of the series.His Popular exploded after it is revealed he is the one who gave Yusaku courage during the Hanoi Project and when his real life design and identity is revealed to the audience which seems to be a universal love for the fandom immeaditly after his human form design is revealed he has been getting many fanarts and is often teased with Yusaku
*[[Evil Is Sexy]]:Revolver a.k.a. Ryoken Kogami was already this to an extent for some thanks to his voice (Japanese version only, where it's rather husky), but especially once his real life appearance was revealed.
*[[Epileptic Trees]]
**Besides Yusaku many fans are strated to speculate that Aoi,Go,Naoki to a lesser extent, Shoichi's brother and Revolver are one of the 6 lost kids thanks to 1st op where we see Playmaker,Blue Angel,Go and Revolver combining into one and becoming a bird and their are many theories they are similar to [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|Signers and will form a team at some point]].Shoichi's brother being one the lost kids has already confirmed
Line 24 ⟶ 25:
**Many fans guessed that Dr.Kogami used to be a researcher at SOL and was the mastermind of Hanoi Project and that theory has already been confirmed.
**Many fans guessed that Revolver and Yusaku had a strong connection in past
*[[Evil Is Sexy]]: Revolver a.k.a. Ryoken Kogami was already this to an extent for some thanks to his voice (Japanese version only, where it's rather husky), but especially once his real life appearance was revealed.
*[[Fountain of Memes]]:This is really the best way to describe the fan response to Ryoken Kogami/Revolver. Just about everything about him is subjected to Memetic Mutation: his Narm-filled New Media Are Evil rant, inspiring obligatory gun jokes, his poses, usage of Mirror Force, and even his departure via boat at the end of Season 1.
*[[Fandom Rivalry]]:Mentioning how ''VRAINS'' fares compared to the other series in the franchise is an easy way to get into a heated discussion. Leave it at that, please.*[[Harsher in Hindsight]]:"Take a step forward and try!" The theme of not being intimidated and giving up when things seem too complicated can be painful to hear after the massive fanbase outcry when Link summoning and changes to the rules of the game that was set in stone for decades was introduced, easily eclipsing the original vocal complaints Synchro, Xyz, and Pendulum got combined. More than a few prolific YugiTubers ended up swearing off the card game as a result. In other words, instead of taking a step forward and trying it out, several of them ended up quitting at how overly complicated Link summoning was and how it single-handedly seemed to Nerf the other Extra Deck summoning types. The exact opposite of what the show was trying to promote!
*[[Game Breaker]]: Not only does Playmaker's Storm Access give him the card he needs to win a duel but after the duel, he can re-create the card in real life, essentially making his deck stronger the more times he uses Storm Access. It's essentially a better version of Shining draw from ZEXAL, you just have to survive a Data storm and have less than 1000 LP to use it. The only reasonable balancing factor is that there still is an Extra Deck limit preventing him from carrying everything he has created with Storm Access into a Duel.

*[[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: In [[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged]] Series there is a Running Gag in which a [[Jerkass]] character (Kaiba) tells the [[Butt Monkey]] of the series (Mokuba) to shut up whenever he talks. Now in VRAINS we have the same Running Gag with Yusaku and Ai.
*[[Ho Yay]]:Happens very, very rarely for a Yu-Gi-Oh! series
**Go's strong friendship with Makoto is what drove him to risk everything fighting Dr. Genome.
Line 43 ⟶ 47:
*[[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: Yusaku continues the trend of the main protagonists being this. He has already been shipped with Aoi, Emma, Shoichi, Jin, Ai, but especially Revolver/Ryoken Kogami. Just minutes after he was revealed, Takeru Homura a.k.a. Soulburner was added to the list and when he isn't shipped with Yusaku in a more traditional manner, Fan-Art either portrays him as a Third Wheel or uses him to form an OT3 by adding him to almost any of the previous listed pairings, most often ones being Yusaku x Revolver x Takeru and even Yusaku x Jin x Takeru.
*[[Lost in Medias Res]]:: Some viewers find the series confusing and difficult to follow. Both because nobody outright explains how speed duels or Link summoning works, and because it's clear that the audience knows far less about the plot than the main character does.
*[[Magnificent Bastard]]:Three years prior to episode 53, Blood Shepherd used Ghost Girl and Akira Zaizen as decoys to take down a terroristic hacker by having them act at the count of three but not jumping in himself until he deemed it right. He also caught Playmaker off-guard by firing at Playmaker at the count of two even though he said he would give Playmaker until the count of three. To top it all off, he made his AI—a non-Ignis, non-free will AI which normally can only tell the truth—lie to get Playmaker to summon Shootingcode Talker so he could seal it.
*[[Memetic Badass]]: Mirror Force, for the sheer unexpected nature of the card, and how much in-universe hype it gets.
*[[Memetic Mutation]]: Even before the series started, fans were already making jokes about the series.
Line 55 ⟶ 60:
*[[Memetic Badass]]:Mirror Force, for the sheer unexpected nature of the card, and how much in-universe hype it gets.
*[[Narm]]Any viewers who is remotely familiar with UsefulNotes/[[Vietnam]]might have a hard time taking the name Knight of Hanoi seriously it is the same name of the country's capital city Hanoi
*[[Narm Charm]]: Kengo Dojun/Blood Shepherd is ridiculously edgy, but also played completely straight and a [[Magnificent Bastard]]. His intro in particular is a case of this.
*[[Never Live It Down]]:The recap episodes have become this to the point where they have become a meme and a drinking game on this very page. It doesn't help that there are so many in just the first season.
*[[No Yay]]:Playmaker and Brave Max. It doesn't help that one of Brave Max's deluded fantasies of Playmaker features him with exaggeratedly fancy eyelashes, accompanied with white sparkles.
*[[Older Than They Think]]: While Speed Duels were popularized by Duel Links, they were originally made for the Duel Terminal arcade machines.
*[[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]]:Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Naoki Shima was initially the series' resident Scrappy, for being a gonkish annoying character that constantly trying to talk a big game, and mocking Yusaku for his older duel disk and for playing a casual LIGHT deck, which is actually a decoy from his real deck. Although the events of Episode 27 mitigates this, giving him [[Character Development]] by conquering his fear and going into VRAINS, even beating a Knight of Hanoi.
*[[Self Fanservice]]:While they are already good-looking, Playmaker and Soulburner are nonetheless often drawn more muscular in Fan-Art, usually a swimmer physique.
*[[Stoic Woobie]]:Yusaku and Jin .
*[[Uncanny Valley]]: Revolver's character design give him ''yellow'' eyes that pupils, landing him right into this trope. TropesAreNotBad, however, as it allows him to more unsettling.
*[[The Woobie]]:
**Ai. The poor just can't catch a break through got hunted by the Knight of Hanoi and being treated incredibly poorly by Yusaku despite just saving his life just a few moment before.After he finally returns to his home after five years of running and hiding, instead of seeing the paradise he and the other Ignises have created, all he could see was a wasteland there, his fellow Ignises are nowhere to be found and the only shown survivor is Linkuriboh.
**Jin Kusanagi is probably the biggest Woobie of this series. Just like Yusaku he is a kid who got kidnapped and tortured during the lost incident, but unlike Yusaku he is only an [[Empty Shell]] after the incident. And after learning the truth of the incident and starting to make a recovery, he gets his soul stolen after his brother Shoichi asks him to come live with him. And after learning the truth of the incident and starting to make a recovery, he gets his soul stolen after his brother Shoichi asks him to come live with him.
*[[What an Idiot!]]: Viewers are flabbergasted that GO failed to use Gouki Poison Mist against Revolver, which would not only inflict 700 damage, but also prevent Revolver from activating his Set Mirror Force on the same turn, and allow GO to deliver a One Turn Kill.
*[[Win the Crowd]]: The first episode of the dub that was shown during the re-run of Pyramid of Light received rather positive reactions, and the announcements by several of the voice actors have been praised too, given that half of them clearly enjoy being associated with the series.
