* DeathByIrony: Nonfatal Example. Brave Max is defeated when he sacrifices a lot of LP to summon strong monsters, causing him to go down in one hit. The Knight of Hanoi he previously dueled did the exact same thing, which Naoki exploited using Cyberse Wizard’s Effect.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Brave Max's claim that "Metal Baboon" can't be returned to his hand because it's a Link Monster baffles both Ghost Girl and Blue Girl. As any Duelist should know, his Monster is still a valid target for "Altergeist Silquitous's" Effect, only that it doesn't return to his hand, but rather, his Extra Deck.

* DramaticIrony: With Akira asking Aoi and Emma if they know Playmaker's identity in real life, Aoi remarks that a person's true nature doesn't change between the virtual world and real-life, and if Playmaker's nearby, they'll know. Cut to the next scene showing Aoi walking past Yuasku and Takeru at school, none the wiser.

to:

* CurbStompBattle: Ghost Girl easily finishes off Brave Max in three turns without allowing him to touch her LP.
* DeliberateInjuryGambit: Brave Max pays a total of 2000 LP to Summon two copies of "Green Baboon" so that he can facilitate the Link Summoning of "Metal Baboon". This backfires on him hard, however, after "Metal Baboon" is returned to his Extra Deck.
* HeroicSacrifice: As Playmaker gets sucked into Blood Shepherd's trap, Soulburner takes the bait instead and bumps Playmaker out of the way.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Had Brave Max kept both of his "Green Baboons" on his Field instead of relying on "Metal Baboon", he would've at least stood a decent chance against Ghost Girl.
* LuredIntoATrap: The gate in one of the top floating islands located above the restricted area turns out to be a trap, set up by Blood Shepherd to suck Playmaker in.
* MirthlessLaughter: Brave Max can only laugh nervously when he realises Ghost Girl's "Altergist Hexstia" has enough ATK to finish him off and win her the Duel.
* SayingTooMuch: After Shima openly confesses to being Playmaker's best friend, Aoi approaches him for information about Playmaker's real world identity.

Added DiffLines:

Emma and Aoi are trying to figure out who Playmaker is, and one of their leads is Shima, who claims to be Playmaker's friend. When Ghost Girl finds Brave Max, Shima's avatar in LINK VRAINS, she challenges him to a Duel.
