Yu-Gi-Oh VRains Ending EXPLAINED! - Yusaku's Tragedy
-Imagine getting Kidnapped at 6 years old
-Imagine being tortured as a Child
- Imagine Being Starved if you don't win a duel
-Imagine living in isolation secluded from friends and family for 10 years
- Imagine finally getting out of this depression making a best friend and seeing your friend die to your hands
Imagine living in a world... WITHOUT CARD GAMES!!
@@Smol_Butt_Cheeky there is a place like that. It's card games hell. The funny thing is its called card games hell, but there are not card games, which makes it truly hell.
RedEye oof
@Promis Nwekenta... th-thats... terrifying. No c-card games? What the f*ck thats scary.
@RedEye 4get all that, Guys: *Imagine Red-Eyes wasn't a Black Dragon and Blue-Eyes is't a White Dragon (which he really isn't)* Still no sign of *Purple-Eyes*
Revolver had a sadest ending in the series, playmaker never returned the barrel load furious dragon card back and left him waiting forever. Revolver spent a f**k ton of money for that super rare card and never got it back
He could have gotten a bigger boat
He didn’t deserve it anyways
Thank you! I was looking for someone commenting on this! XD Yusaku is not completely alone. He still has Borrel with him :D
he is fake printing his own support so he can create multiple ones
Paulinus Nwosu WHAT?!
Yuya’s final freeze-frame- He has dozens of his friends behind him, has got his father and Yuzu back and couldn't be happier
Yusaku’s final freeze-frame- He has lost one of his only friends and is all alone while looking just as broken if not more than he was at the beginning of his series
Yeah great comparison.. Two completely polar opposite endings, for two polar opposite characters as well
my name may be Varis but odd-eyes rules over all
Somehow Yusaku ended like Judai, only difference's that Judai seems kinda happy.
@@jwolternova1051 but Judai had Yubel with him forever and ever and ever and ever and...
He started as a loner and ended as a loner. His character completely went full circle. Yusaku‘s my favourite protagonist because of that
That's just an ominous still image; Yusaku surrounded by the lifeless shells of the person who loved him.
Right? His best friend. Poor guy
anzu: becomes a dancer
asuka: hinted to become a teacher
aki: a doctor
the other 3 dont even have dreams like that
At least kotori got to express her feeling to yuma lol
@@teddybear979 also technically speaking Aoi did what she had in mind (help miyu). and she got her brother's recognition even earlier.
with aoi would be more a case of "now what?"
+Iceaiden Yusei becomes a scientist.
@@Inn1 like father like son
@goodguy shuckle Exactly!
He's not happy when he's a kid
He suffered from PTSD for 10 years
He works hard to find answer
He works hard again in Jin resque mission
He shocked and sad because Ai become antagonist
He depressed after defeat him
He has no happines
Living hell
The legend of Playmaker, the hero who never lost a duel, but was denied a happy ending(to a degree).
Yep, a major price to pay for being unbeaten
@@10tailedbijuu If we are going by off-screen logic, Yusaku lost an insane amount in the LI lol
Frost Reaper23 He wasn’t Playmaker yet though
@@10tailedbijuu Yusaku also lost in flashbacks, just like Yusei. He isn't undefeated at all.
ULGROTHA too bad we won’t be getting a VRAINS Manga 😢
But we do get to see the future of Yusei. He is working as a scientist for the improvement and stability of Neo Domino City. The question though is if he finally understood that he can't keep dating his motorcycle.
That wasn't the future, that happened 6 months after the Ark Cradle. Yusei turns on the Fortune program just before his final duel with Jack. There are also hints that Yusei doesn't feel like he deserved his position as a scientist. Lazar tries to talk him into staying but tells him his future is in his hands. We do know he decides to stay in New Domino City as the bond that connected his friends to back home, but we don't know if kept that career path or what happens to him in the eight year time skip at the beginning of episode 154.
den city actually new domino city or
satellite
@@ryanbarker3978 from what the final 3 parter suggested especially from the flash forwards,Jack and Aki are still gunning for him.One to kick his ass to become king,the other to make him hers permanently.
Thats the thing... you see Yusei had us all played, made us all believe he was doing science research for "improvement ans stability of Neo Domino City" when in reality it was only a front cover for his true research.. how to mate with his byke.
@@ryanbarker3978 well Yusei can be a scientist and a turbo duelist at the same time. Scientist at day, Duelist at night.
Besides, Jack Atlas still has an unsettle score with Yusei, to regain his title
I really feel for the kid, Yusaku is one of the characters I can relate to and seeing him with ending just makes me sad
Yeah, definitely no closure whatsoever for him
@@YugiohEverything I quite liked how open ended it was and the potential for a return in YGO 7
I think the ending means AI is still "Alive" so the world is gonna to get destroyed anyways.
*Yusaku loses his best friend and bursts into tears*
Yuya: "Why the heck are you not smiling bro?"
@@leokovacic707 yuma*
@@leokovacic707 First of all, Yuya is the Arc V protag. You are talking about Yuma. And secondly, Yuma didn't lose Astral at the end. He just returned back to the Astral World. Not to mention they have the numeron code which can alter reality and give them all the happy endings they want.
xD xD
Yusaku:
*Flips the bird*
Yusaku: what's your problem?
Yuya: I even ended up with my friend yuzu , who's NOT my mother, not at all, No sir , that would be crazy...
Yusaku: why do you need to explain that?
Yuya: I Hope you don't have a manga...
Not just the ending... the entire duel had a very somber tone to it. The ceremonial duels of the past series usually had a ton of fanfare and generally had hopeful tones... not this one. And Playmaker didn’t even deliver the final blow, like most Yugioh endings would’ve done. The duel ended on Ai’s turn so technically, Ai simply destroyed himself. It almost seems like he was the main character all along...
And idk if anyone noted this, but I think the final duel actually took place on the ruined Cyberse world, which is even more depressing
Yes it's the cyberse World where everything began
Playmaker: Thanks for the dragon Revolver.
Revolver: no problem, you can give it back now.
Playmaker: No.
"Then you have Kurosaki smiling because his sister is dead"
I died xDDDDDD
xD xD Sorry I love bringing that up whenever i have the chance
@@YugiohEverything "The closure (Of Shun) was garbaggio"
Junko Enoshima Shun: 🙂🙂
My best friend and my sister are dead... forever
Lup Shun: 🙂
And his best friend is also dead
when people say yusaku is op because he never lost a duel, but he lost more than any other protagonist. Lost his childhood, lost his innocence, and a bit of trusting anything, lost his best friend due to the fact his friend believed if he lived, yusaku would die. Honestly Vrains is nothing but losses in the end
at least humanity is saved in the end.
It really is a depressing ending.
He just been into so much.
I think is even worst since Ai is basically the ONLY individual who has told Yusaku that he loved him. For someone socially awkward and lonley as Yusaku, I think that's the reason he decided to search for Ai in the end. I really can relate to Yusaku in many ways. Especially in this one. He has always felt lonley, even in season 1 he mentions to Revolver he had no friends (since he didn't even consider Kusanagi a friend). Since the Lost case, he has been all alone until Kusagani, but they were partners qnd only socialized because of the revenge. Ai was actually the first individual to see Yusaku as a friend and refer to him like it (Despite Yusaku's denial). Which I can understand since he hasn't experienced it before. Having someone who cares about you. The shock about Ai will to die for Yusaku is something he never could thought about. Someone who actually cared for him and accepted him. Yusaku doesn't know about these feelings and emotions since he never thought about it. We understand love and care because we have friends, family, and other people. But Yusaku never had those, and loosing the only individual that gave everything (his love, care and support. Ultimately his own life) so he could live could cause such a deep damage to Yusaku. I would like an in-depth analysis from Yusaku's character. He might look "flat" to a lot of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Fandom. But I argue that he seems like this because he is the most realistic from all.
OMG sorry for the long comment. I been in some similar situations and been in theraphy for depression and anxiety. I know to a certain degree how it feels.
Great job Dylan! Keep the work!
AxetheRoad I read this all and this is reeeeeealllly deep
Must be really painful when a friend becomes like a brother to you and then he dies.
Personally, ever since I saw human A.I., I threw Aoi out tge fucken window and started shipping them
Could’ve had an epilogue and have Aoi do something
The whole season 3 wasn't happy at all
Yusaku's story is supposed to be a look of how loss does actually trail after certain people. But, it also shows that maybe some hope lingers in a minute way. Ambiguous? Yes, but Yusaku is actually capable of overcoming it. It would be pretty cool to see him again maybe in a generation movie or something.
Yeah I'd love to see him show up down the road!
He's the last yugioh protagonist so maybe we can get something. Sevens is going to be buried so honestly why not
@@Silver-yw3gs funny thing is I heard they skipped the vrains manga and went straight to seven
@@Deathmare235 Where?
@@nightshroud9671 I don’t know where but you can search it up
Something a lot of people may have missed is that last scene's significance. Creating an ignis is not easy. What I believe is that Yusaku did a lost incident on himself in those 3 months and that's how Ai was remade, that's how I see it. Ai only started as an eye since it was only 3 months and not 6 like the lost incident, and Yusaku reappearing in the vrains could be him activating the Ai ignis protocol to rebuild him or collecting more data material. All about a duelist who couldn't let go of the past and didn't move on from Ai's death. It's unfortunate that his development became like this, not being able to grow from his experiences.
Completely impossible.
@kacangbumbu987 yeah he's not Yusaku Sucks to be honest
it just your usual reverting character development in ygo spin off, nothing new. at least he didn't turn into another egao man.
From what I saw, Yusaku was making progress in moving on. But as another tragedy hit him, and with little friends as it is, he didn't know how to cope. He is a person who doesn't understand how to move on and is desperate to keep what he knows close to him. It's a pretty tragic twist on his character.
Overall my second favorite Yugioh protagonist, with Yuma still being the GOAT.
@@esteban8471 And the trauma of the Lost Incident isn't healed truly either.
He lost the ability to ENJOY dueling as fun and games(like with Judai but possibly worse) due to the incident.
I can see how Yusaku feels. When I was four, I was in a car accident in which I almost died. 20 years later, I'm the last one alive.
My sympathies.
I just realised that VRIANS maybe has the most permanent deaths in the entire franchise... But I still love this show!
Crazy amount of perma deaths!
@@YugiohEverything Defintly considering how short it is compared to the others
Like Kitamura.
And Since when Having actual Character deaths Is a Bad Thing
Your comment and your profile name made me laugh
lightning got the last laugh
revolver won the bet
this ending reminded me of zexal except for the fact that the main character did not get a happy ending
Yeah Lightning really did get the last laugh.. Jeez
@@YugiohEverything don thousand got the last laugh until the shark and yuma duel ended lol
@kacangbumbu987 His plan failed but he ruined the lives of the people who stopped him. Lightning might not have defeated Yusaku, but he won spiritually because he got Ai killed and took away Yusaku's closest friends just as he was starting to trust people.
This is nothing of Lightning fault anymore, he did stated the facts whenever your like it or not, confirmed by AI himself. You can’t blame Lightning when AI himself create his own version and matched to the one of Lightning.
Poor Yusaku, his past and present have both been so tragic, I’d like to think that some day, in the future he can have a life full of happiness and hope, but I’m not sure that can ever really happen for him
Yeah I agree completely :/ Feel like it might never happen
@@YugiohEverything VRAINS has a lot of Greek mythology thrown inside the story.
Specifically Prometheus. Reading it made me think that maybe the VRAINS ending isn't as interpretational as we thought. It is situational who is who and it would take hours to explain this, but from what I've read, in a symbolic way what stays in the box of Pandora is Hope, Yusaku's suffering was ended by Ai. It further suggests that Ai becomes a constellation in heaven in the afterlife, which fits imo very well with the ending we got. Looking closer, it seems to be likely that what we see at the end is indeed a bunch of star constellations.
If they do nothing with Yusaku and Ai in Yugioh 7, this ending will be really weird.
At least a movie
Why?
What if Playmaker actually "re-create" the lost incident with himself to create another Ai?
Hideyuki Saito oh I like that theory
Robert Morales theory material!
@Hydra but he is strong enough now,so it could be possible
VRains's Ending was sad and yeah it was Open-Ended. Overall, I'm satisfied with the ending. It was better than what we got with Arc V's ending. The Yu Boys(outside of Yuya) and the Yu Girls(outside of Yuzu) we're killed off but we're still a part of Yuya and Yuzu. They didn't get their own individual endings. They just accepted their fates and that's it. Arc V's ending was very rushed and it showed. VRains did a better job and left me at least with a hopeful end to the show.
Every other ending to Yugioh has some kind of friendship and such happy ending but here.
Everyone is happy and think they hold a connection to Yusaku....But to Yusaku everyone but Ai was an acquaintance...And now that he lost the part of him he could connect with...Everyone is waiting for Yusaku to come back to them but there's nothing to come back to for Yusaku.
Yugioh vrains was the most realistic of the yugioh series by far, and i love it :)
I think that Duel Links did an epilogue where Yusaku and AI reunite. I'm not sure how canon it's supposed to be, but I'd look into that.
The real question is: was this the original ending intended for Yusaku?
I honestly feel like it was not
Probably not, season 2 heavily suggested that the ultimate goal would be for the Ignis to find a new home safe from greedy humans that see them as cash cows. If the theory that season 3 was cut short due to behind the scenes issues is correct (and it most likely is) then that original ending most likely was scrapped.
@@elin111 Yeah, that's actually a good point. Sadly YGO! has already precedence of plot changing or being dropped because of internal problems
@@Za_Lup Don't even get me started on 5D's.
They are trying to squeeze in a sequel movie after DSoD proved to be a success. There is no ambiguousness only greed.
10:24 i imagine Ai and Lightning meeting in the "cyber afterlife" something like in Madagascar
Ai. (all bubbly) Lightning
Lightning: (happy) Ai!
Ai (slowly switches tone, while also transforming in his human avatar): Lightning
Lightning (curious): Ai?
Ai (angry): LIGHTNING!
Lightning (starts running away): Cyberse Regulated Artificial Programs!
Hehe..
A. I. Solation
LOL! That was clever
It’s a depressing ending, but it fits the show, the whole show has been a lot darker and more depressing in terms of themes they covered than any other series was
Thinking they rushed Vrains ending so badly just to work on Sevens makes me never forgive Konami and their sh*ttiest decisions
You know.. I wouldn't be shocked if Yusaku went the Madoka Rebellion route just to find A.I. But then again we do have Duel Links so who knows what will happen to Yusaku after more events unfold about the multiple dimensions co-existing.
Yeah this was a really depressing ending for Yusaku. He's one of my favorites, and I was so frustrated the writers decided to increase his pain and suffering like this... unless they're setting him up for a s7 happy ending comeback? Really hope his story doesn't end like this.
One of The VA's (I think it was Kusanagi's) stated in an interview that: "Yusaku's journey is not over." You could take it with a grain of salt, but i believe they got plans for him
@@qzmicronsr9067
Well it's been 4 years now hopefully we get vrains 2 like zexal.
@@truffle6082 2024, i'm still hoping😢
I liked the ending, but from my personal point of view it has something to do with the 2020 series. I mean now SOL technology united many worlds, we have already seen yugi with jaiden, so I hope he's gonna find someone where he's going
What hit me most was the fact that AI( the dark ignis) was the literal reflection of yosuku.
He was born from yosuku duel data during the lost incident.
Even AI becoming the antagonist of the season he mirrored the yosuku from the first season.
And it broke my heart to see yosuku literally killing a part of himself
By the end of the series: -Atem: moved to afterlife ending hes millenial suffering
-Yugi: proved himself to be the true king of games
- Jaden: learned how to use hes gift and get the duel of hes dreams
- Yusei: became Jesus in the eye of the social class hes been raised in; likely banged the mayors super hot daughter
- Yuma: bevame a suoer hero
- Yuya: learend about the thing he wants to do with hes life and get hes father back
- Yusaku: lost what litle he had at the begginig
In duel Links now that Vrains has beenadded it's said he was looking for Ai though I'd take that with a grain of salt as I doubt it's canon
Vrains ending is really intresting. Becuase as i understand it. VRAINS theme is to move forward even if the pain you feel never goes away. And i feel that was Yusaku is still doing, he is still fighting for his happiness. But the fact that he never gives up is hopeful but also sad. Like really sad.
Yeah well said.. :/
7:40
YgoEv: "He is riding his D..."
Me: "Wut?!"
YgoEv: "...board"
Me: "Oooh! And then he pulls put his junk..."
YgoEv: "Wut?!"
Me: "...Warrior"
HAHAHA perfect
"Now whip out you junk and wave it at him!"
"WAT?!?!"
"Warrior!"
I just love your comment XD
Yusaku is the only protagonist to never got a happy ending and that's pretty sad to be honest.
jalenjohnson0339 yusaku is perhaps the most tragic protagonist in Yugioh franchise
I agree
Great video! All in all, Yusaku is one of my favourite ygo protag just because the poor boy needs to be loved.
Duel Links on Vrains world starts right after the ending of the anime. Just to let you guys know there is still a good ending and a new plot.
The reason why vrains ended so early is because cal wanted soulburner to be the main character lol
Yeah he prob wrote in a complaint xD
I don't need more sadness in my life now that I don't have VRAINS anymore, Dylan xD
I apologize xD xD
Lup I know what you mean
truthfully, i really liked the ending despite the bittersweet tone. it's completely in character for him to just go on his own to try and find ai, and refusing to go back home until he finds him. it's really sad, it's not happy at all, but everyone has faith that he'll be back, and i think once he finds ai, he will be, too.
can't wait to see your top ten lists!
I still think Yusaku/Playmaker's Link Sense is telling him Ai is alive and instead of desperation, Yusaku is determined to find Ai.
Link Sense was hinted at very heavily and name dropped in season 1, we had it mostly explained in season 2, then season 3 doesn't even bring it back up, but I believe we all know better.
In season 2 Ai explained that he and Yusaku are connected by Link Sense, and if Ai isn't dead then we can assume then they are still connected and Yusaku is using that connection to look for Ai.
The only thing that I disliked about the ending was Ai returning because:
The reason why the final duel started was because Ai runned the simulations were he saw the world in chaos and Yusaku dying so he made a plan were he will be hated by everyone so they will try to kill him, in the end Yusaku defeated him so it happened.
But then in the last seconds of the episode Ai came back, making his plan and the final duel kinda pointless because that mean he will have to die again (at least because that's what he believes is better for everyone ).
I think the writters made that last appearance to make the ending more hopeful but for me that ignored Ai's will
Thanks to the last scene I believe all of this was just one Ai's simulations.
He says he lives trough them so the last scene is just him finishing it and waking back up surprised at the result.
It's not uncommon to isolate yourself after a big loss in your life. As someone who has lost 3 pets in my life, I can tell you that it took me about 2 months to be able to think about them without fighting back tears. So with that, it is possible that yusaku was using that time to finally accept the loss. I would also like to throw my theory about the final shot of vrains into the ring. I don't believe that the Ai that we saw at the end was the one that yusaku defeated, but the original Ai from the start of the show. When Ai sacrificed himself to destroy the neuron link, that was the original, and the Ai that was known in season 3 was the back up he created. I believe that over those 3 months that as Link Vrains expanded, it created more data to allow the original Ai to recreate himself from the neuron link. Yusaku could have come to the same conclusion, and decided that it would best if he find Ai to stop even more issues down the road. That being said, without more info on what really happened at the end, we will likely never know if the past is anything to go by
Yugioh Duel Links released Vrains world check it out the story continues there I think
The ending of VRains feels more to me like the ending of a season, not a series. I’m hoping those crossover rumors are true, or the next series involves VRains at least, otherwise I’d be disappointed.
Aoi: “No, I didn’t do anything.”
Yep, true, through the 120 episodes.
Honestly I hope vrains leads right into yugioh 7 or at least connected somewhat like gx was to dm also no new summoning methods please
"If you don't want spoilers"
That's... why I'm here.
Yeah, this is quite the depressing ending, but I think that's one of the things that make Yusaku a great protagonist, or at least a unique one. He's a sort of titanic hero: no matter what destiny throws at him, he has to endure and keep fighting/searching
I will fight all my duels with a self made cyberse deck in his honour for yusaku fujiki honour of cyberse
I like the ending of vrains I thought the series was good as a whole and cant wait to see how the deaths are Censored in English and what there version of the shadow realm might be like Maybe the dark web?
@WillFanofMany really where can I check out the dub?

@@payne9682 do you make YuGiOh vids Payne? You would legitimately have a huge following
@@zioncommand Not into it right now. I want to focus on finishing my college first. Maybe after that, I will do some vids as a hobby.
My theorey for why they are leaving the ending so open is that in the 20th anniversary series were going to get a show that is half a follow up to vrains and half a follow up to dark side of dimensions in that there will be characters from from original duel monsters and vrains.
i wish i could thumb up this comment more than once!! lol this would complete me if this happened. i need closure, Yusaku needs closure.
If you didn’t cry when Ai died and Playmaker watched him die, you have no soul 🥺🥺🥺😭😭 it was so heartbreaking
I didn’t cry,I felt emotional
I finally got time to watch this video :) I totally agree with you on this one. I thought the ending for Yusaku was very sad and that's why I really wanted Ai to stay alive. I couldn't really see how Yusaku could get over Ai's death especially when Ai has been the one helping him get better (from giving him a purpose in season 1 to being a very close friend / family member in season 2) so I had been hoping until the end that Ai stayed alive. I thought that if they killed Ai, I would hate the ending but I actually liked the last episode a lot... but it really made me feel sad for Yusaku.
The last scene is very confusing for me too... The theory I like best is that somehow part of Ai's data survived and Yusaku has sensed him through his Link Sense and that's what he would have been up to for three months: looking for Ai.
Now, how did Ai survive is an entire other matter... What's interesting is that Ai is in his eyeball form from the first episode. So the data that survived must be from that time when he was hiding from the Hanoi, right? Maybe Ai had already attempted to make backups of him at that time (but then thought it would be useless because he wasn't complete or he just forgot about them...). It could also be Yusaku trying to use data he had left of Ai from his dueldisk? But nobody else knew about the eyeball shape...
Another weird possibility is that Yusaku and Ai are linked together is some way and that Ai's data could be recreated from Playmaker's avatar...??
There's a famous quote that I was reminded of:
"There are so many stories where some brave hero gives their life to save the day. The good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everyone lives happily ever after. But the hero... never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice made a difference. They'll never really know if the day was saved. In the end, they just have to have faith."
We know what happens to Jaden he duels a time traveler with Yugi and Yusei.
I'm so sad that the ending was rushed, because if they committed to the story, this could have been not only the best yugioh, but one of the best plots in anime. What a waste of potential.
Hey, I've heard this before and its annoying hearing it over and over(but true as well)
Same can be said for 5Ds which in fact we do know it was going to be the case after the Dark Signer arc. Vrains we don’t really know the original intension, but so far ending looks like original planned. AI explanation of Yusaku famous cyberverse deck, he being the reason and secretly moving the piece its so AI as we have seen how AI secretly does his action in normal episodes.
Having the potential of being the best Yugioh anime definitely goes to ARC V, Vrains has never been that interesting, it only got good at season 3 rest its boring with tons of re-cap and the souless network duels.
*best plots in anime
LOL
I'm starting a campaing to make Dylan review every episode from the Greed Island arc of Hunter x Hunter for the Yu-Gi-Oh Everything filler arc xD
C'mon it's all about people dying because of children's cardgames!
LOL that would be pretty funny, I'd have to watch the whole anime though
i support this!
Yugioh Everything definitely give HXH a shot sometime. It’s the best shonen out there in my opinion.
@@YugiohEverything It's worth it
it's kinda sad knowing that yusaku not only had a mental illness due to traumas and that he was slowly recovering from but at the end of the series, knowing that well he is going to get worst just to find his best friend that he himself killed its just sad...
We go from the worst yugioh ending ever in arc-v to what in my opinion was easily the best ending in yugioh history with vrains(mostly because of how perfect Ai's death scene was)
@@ANTHONYACUNA1 chaos my dude xD
Wish we could've had more time dedicated to what the other characters are doing now instead of like the 10 seconds each of them got. Ah well, still a good ending.
That would have been cool! I think besides 5Ds we have never seen like "the future" of the characters, so that's pretty normal. But even more time for them spent in the present would have been cool!
@@YugiohEverything Maybe because 5D's was the last spin off for the first public of the first yugioh.
I see that many comments are frustrating from the end, and say frustrating theories, but I have to remind you that Ai tried all possibilities so as not to destroy the world because of him, but he did not succeed, but it was mentioned that he did not calculate what would happen if the playmaker emerged, and apparently during The duel wanted to back down, but he restrained himself in advance, that is, the last possibility is that if Ai plays the maker, that future will not be achieved, not because Ai may die, but because Yusaku understood him and may make him change, so I say that it is possible that Ai is alive thanks to an order It was done by Yusaku, and that Yusaku would not die if Ai remained alive as Ai believed, because the last duel is what will change all the possibilities that Ai saw, so there are no restrictions for Ai's return, so I believe that Ai is alive and not dead, and I hope that there will be a movie or series New to Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains
I also think its a very appropriate ending for Playmaker. Here is a guy who did nothing wrong, who never lost a duel, and accomplished most of his goals in taking down the Knights and stopping Bohman. Here at the end, Playmaker failed. He may have won the duel, but he lost AI whom he was trying to save. He has FINALLY experienced a loss in life. He finally failed at a goal. So the future will indicate how he will handle that loss. And the ending sort of indicates that he is going to take action to correct that loss, and not feel sorry for himself.
I would compare this ending to Kamen Rider Blade. Blade had a very sad ending that we don't see the main protagonist after his last scene and I think that's a good parallel
This series was just depressing. I only found myself smiling cause the duels were awesome. But other than that, it’s hard to find a bit of happiness in this series
To me, the ending for Yusaku reminds me of Judai during season 4 of GX as Yusaku for a protagonist, it felt like he took a reversal in his character by not moving on with his life compared to how he said was done with his revenge back to his final duel with Revolver
Yeah honestly that is a solid comparison
MY FAVORITE MC IS STILL YUGI. YUGI WILL LIVE ON FOREVER INSIDE MY HEART AS THE FIRST MC
Maybe Yu-Gi-Oh 7 will tie into all the spinoffs including vrains
Its possible!
Just for having the different MC interact, that would be so cool
It could be like an Avengers: Infinity War kind of thing
I really hope so.
Actually i think that soulburner also had a sad ending despite the smile because he was the most person attached to his ignis out of all other characters even more than playmaker
yusaku is not that weak anymore to isolate himself for the loss of Ai, I think that it's most likely he've been doing something like recovering Ai program somehow, I still believe that because of the developement of link vrains and the existence of infinite possibilities can make sure that there's a way of Ai and his friends recovering and coexisting with humans or at least Ai if we suppose that Yusaku can recover his data through roboppi or his dueldisk data or even his solitis body, so we can see why revolver said that playmaker will return stronger than before
I think the best idea( in my opinion) is that yugi (DSOD) and yusaku finally meet. I cant remember completely but i think i heard that i dont know who said that the time line of yugioh vrains goes 10 years from now. So its 2027 in yugioh. It would be a great idea that yugi and yusaku meet.Although i actually hope to see jaden and yusei because they are in that timeline.(i know their timeline is different from DSOD)
Your videos are always awesome and I enjoy them, but this one got me chills! How come that Yu-gi-oh duel monsters have a happy ending it is the saddest ending, in my opinion, Atem dies at the age of 16, lost his memories, lived a life full of betrayals, and after thousands of years, he came to inhabit a boys body, helps him grow, finish old grudges, feel the pain of dying again and finally his own best friend sends him back to the afterlife to die a third time! We never knew his own actual feelings during the final duel, he was shaking without Yugi besides him, he was not himself at all, it’s actually a happy ending for everyone because of his sacrifice, he deserves a life where lives again like Isis and Kaiba.
I agree with you on Gx, Zexal, and ark v, though I don’t like ark v
I agree with you to an extent concerning 5d’s it is indeed ambiguous and kind of happy, but Yusei was left alone in neo domino and never had the chance to be with Aki as far as we know, but it is absolutely better than losing them or die like Bruno.
Now finally our topic, VRAINS, it has a similar elements from the original series, everyone got a happy ending because of Yusaku sacrificing his own happiness, he would really have left Ai to do whatever he wants without regaining anyone consciousness, but he chose to fight for the greater good, knowing his character, those three month would have changed his life, my theory is Yusaku returning to Vrains has to do with Ai icon popping out, he might have chosen to work alone, analyzing, searching, rebuilding data of Ai from around the web, and when finally succeeding he came back to collect Ai data himself opening a new future for the Ignis which could make him a hero or the worst villain in Vrains, so it’s kind of ambiguous and destructive more than sad, Yusaku actually has the most reasonable motivations to destroy the world that destroyed everything dear to him, and that makes him stands besides Bakura.
Such a 😢 ending. 😭 this show was such an emotional rollercoaster 🎢 glad that the kusunagi brothers are back together. Soulburner has such an awesome storyline. Maybe Playmaker used the ignis program to revive the dark ignis.
What if during the 3 months he was gone, Yusaku repeated the Lost Incident on himself to recreate Ai
What the hell
Crazy theory but not impossible
Lmao Nerd, I didnt expect to see you here.
What I was hoping for how the final duel would play out was that I was hoping that they would end in a tie or playmaker would lose.
The reason for Playmaker losing is because he's never actually lost a duel, Akira pointed out that Playmaker always treats a duel as if his life is on the line, he's never played for fun. Ai's duel, I believe, would have been a decent time for Playmaker to lose because he would've lost to his best friend who knew him for the best. This could also have been Ai's way of saying, you've fought so hard for everyone now you can rest. Also, the show kept hinting that at some point Playmaker was going to lose a duel because they make it seem like the lost incident made him a slave to dueling or still trapped in the loss incident. The only way he would be free is to lose a duel because he'll realize he's still alive afterward and he can move on, or something like that.
The reason for a tie is because Ai had an outcome for a win or lose scenario, he didn't have one for a tie. This would be growth for Playmaker because instead of choosing to kill his friend by, once again, winning he chose to potentially save his friend by tieing the duel. It could've happened too, that last card playmaker did to negate TAi strike, he could've used it (changing to card effect from the writers) to negate Dark Templar's effect. Then TAi strike would've destroyed them both. Again this would be growth for Playmaker because he chose to not win by his own hand to potentially save his friend, furthermore, he would've done something for himself for once.
This is all my opinion. Like this is what I would've preferred but overall VRAINS was still a good series, I'm glad I saw it all the way through.
i came back to ask if you cant do another video since duel links gave us some continouation on vrains ending
I feel like since season 2 the protagonist was Soulburner, yusaku didn't have much of development
Yusaku had already moved on due to his fight with Varis, Soulburner hadn't yet and that came in season 3.
August 2024, i'm still wishing a movie or a sequel for a happy ending 😢
Honestly, I still felt hope for Yusaku and Ai in the final 10 seconds. I don't think the ending is that dark, but good video.
Maybe that Ai eye-pod at the end saying “Huh?” Could be Playmaker finally recovering Ai.
I would say it's a bittersweet ending. The side characters had good endings, but Yusaku and AI have an unknown ending. Yusaku still has bonds back at home, and he's still moving forward which shows he's learned something. All I can hope for is that he keeps moving forward or returns home. By Yu-Gi-Oh standards, I would say it's a sadder ambiguity than usual. P.S. There were a lot of permadeaths in this series
VR had the most permadeaths I think out of all YGOs. And yeah, bittersweet is definitely a fair way to interpret the ending!
@@ANTHONYACUNA1 That's an understandable criticism, However I don't think that the detracts from the impact of the permanent deaths in the series. Since they stuck
@@10tailedbijuu I can't spoil it for you. I believe it is a worthwhile endeavor to realize them yourself. All I'll say is that it's a sad payoff
Please Do a video about yugioh Vrains: things that were missed out or never explained
He wakes up in yugioh duel links. There you go, solved it for you
Funny enough, I finally started getting interested in this series at the last season.
That's awesome!
Good because the only good thing about Vrains is season 3. The rest is boooooring with constant re-cap and bland duels in the network. All that is needed is to view the first 12 episode, watch some highlights from season 2 and skip straight to Season 3.
For me this series has no re-watch value at all.
@@lAlwaysHopel eh i liked the story the whole way. and decent characters. i think the pacing had issues throughout though
What a banger this series was dark and I loved it just a shame not everything was expanded on due to rushing towards the next series
This episode was very sad and he story overall was sad.
Yes it was Enrique!
@@YugiohEverything Indeed
If you think even darker we saw a very desperate yusako and Ai get revived as a eye... did he sacrifice himself to bring him back? Complete spitting in Ai face of by saying I rather you be alive than myself... but this is just to put the cherry on top not a serious theory
VRAINS was overall amazing. I loved the unpredictability of some parts and the cast of characters, for the most part. It does feel like season 3 was rushed to some extent. I feel like things were wrapped up as much as they could in the time that they had. If they had extended it, what would have been the ending? As much as the goal of Team Playmaker was to find a way for ignis and humans to coexist, I really don't see that as an option. Especially not now given how Ai ran simulations and saw Yusaku literally getting shot down by some powerful (government?) authority. That was a dark twist I was not expecting. You don't see much of the corrupt society in Yugioh that doesn't related to the card game. I'm really curious as to what your ideal ending would be?
Also, was one of the soundtracks you used toward the end of the video from Assassination Classroom? It sounded like an instrumental of the song that played when Korosensei vanished.
The theory about Ai ending up in the afterlife for the ignis is possibly the most like one and I do agree that komami gave Yusaku Fujiki the saddest ending of any protagonist or other character, what they did to him truly disappointed me as he was possibly the most relatable protagonist for me and it was just a shame in my opinion to have given him such a depressing ending,
I love your videos keep up the good content
Well, he had the opportunity to choose the good ending when Ai invited him to live and explore endlessly the cyberverse together, but... sigh... sometimes happiness knock the door and the guy just rejects it.
I also been think about Vrains ending for weeks. If you take the time to think about the ending, Playmaker and Ai have a sad ending.
As Dylan explained, Playmaker killed off his best friend and no one saw him for 3 months. That not healthy, but I don’t really interpret it as Playmaker searching for Ai. It feels more like Playmaker is like guardian for Vrains and constantly watching over Vrains.
I personally don’t like Ai coming back in the end. Don’t get me wrong I love Ai, but when you think about his ending it’s sad. This is because Ai destined to end humanity and somehow drag Yusaku, which leads to his death. So when Ai comes back, I feel like somehow he could trigger any event in any of the simulations to cause the end of humanity, unintentionally. Like humanity probably would eventually learn the existence of Ignis and try to kill them bc they don’t understand the concept of an Ignis.
Potential of Vrains
- it always bog-go my mind that Final Villians of the show weren’t Sol Tech.
- At first, I assumed this show would be Humans and Ai (Ignis) fighting against evil like Sol Tech. Like Sol Tech chess pieces seems end game bosses. Now it Human and Ai conflict.
- Rushed Season 3 and Director change probably changed the Sol Tech plot.
- We never even got Kogami to even duel or post as a threat to be defeated in season 1. Like I remember Kogami as mess up person for torturing kids and getting the Ignis destroying humanity mostly wrong.(2/6 correct)
- We never even got to know much of the Lost Incident kids like Jin, Miyu, and Windy partner.
- Also we don’t know about the Hanoi Spy or the monster in Episode 30 chasing Playmaker and Ai.
- In my opinion the show didn’t feel the same after most of the Ignis die after Bohman defeat. I mean I still love Season 3 and how quick it got with plot, but losing the Ignis feels losing part of the main cast.
Here’s my theory that there going to do with Vrains, I have a suspicion that they’ll make the new series climax have all protagonists join together in a final battle. Because of that I think, it’ll either take place in Vrains, or a Vrains like place. Because the other protagonists are probably already dead at that time, but in Vrains they can exist as data. As for Yusaku I think he’ll either be a mentor, a rogue duelist, or both. As for Ai (this is more of a want than a theory) it would be cool if he was captured and was used to create a AI computer virus that’s main goal is to spread into the real world.
Yusaka a mentor doubtfull hes good but would be the fourth best duelist in a protagonist group
