Hmm? Look at Aoi's skirt and tell me that's normal. I think that's the shortest YGO has had yet.
It's normal for highschool anime uniforms. Most of it is hidden under the sweater. The GX uniform skirts were tinier.
Our Favorite Cowgirl, er, Mare
Speaking of fashion, are they going to go overboard with the fingerless gloves again? ;P
I like to keep my audience riveted.

'tl;dr, Aoi and Onizuka's ace monsters are essentially named after themselves - fitting that a series about online dueling would show off avatar monsters.'

I had some interesting analysis on Jaden/Judai Yuki. There are the lines from the latter analysis that stood out to me the most.
Here’s the thing — he would have fallen with or without his friends being there, in the end. Sho, Asuka, Kenzan, Fubuki, Manjoume — they were all catalysts and the quickest route to the intended end, the path of least resistance. But even if he had gone into Dark World alone, Judai would have buckled — maybe later than sooner and maybe it would have needed a hell of a lot more trickery via that ‘fake Johan’, but he would have still fallen into his own despair and he would have started building Super Fusion. The whole ploy was orchestrated by Yubel form the get-go and what Yubel wants, Yubel gets. Meager details like the lack of everyone else wouldn’t have mattered, in grander scope of things, if ze was utterly determined to make Judai walk the path of tyranny and destruction.
Yes, his friends didn’t know him well enough and this cost all of them dearly. But, at the same time,they were dead on the money with their descriptions of him in Dark World. Yes, he was selfish, naive, impulsive and so self-absorbed in his own issues that he threw both himself and everyone else straight into the abyss. That’s what made their words so effective in breaking Yuki Judai to pieces.
Yuki Judai was enamored of the idea, the ideal of friendship, not friendship itself. Making nakama speeches by the dozen doesn’t negate actions that go contrary to those appeals to inter-personal bonds. In fact, it’s bitterly ironic to speak about precious bonds when your whole group is disintegrating around you, a leader who doesn’t really know how to lead, surrounded by people whose trust is faltering, for good reason.
Judai/Jaden Yuki is an interesting deconstruction of the idiot hero protagonist and he actually one one of most visible character development in the series.

Speaking of Jaden, according to Duel Art since YGO was a bit dark, Takahashi decided GX would be brighter, as Jaden doesn’t have a dark side, is cheerful, hot-blooded, and easy to read.
Takahashi also felt that GX’s cheeriness meant the protagonists couldn’t grow as much and would be unable to defeat someone imposing like Marik, so he wrote in Jaden becoming the Supreme King, but then felt it was almost too dark. But he feels Jaden became a stronger character after that.

Did not know Takahashi was that involved in GX, huh.

Well we know he did the Signers' character designs and outlined the premise for 5Ds. He also designed Yuma and his friends and family for ZEXAL, though compared to his Signer sketches he obviously didn't spend as much time on them.
Leader of the Holey Brotherhood
Raking in royalty checks I imagine.
He wanted 5D's to be the last one IIRC.

But we know that is never gonna happen.
Between Pyramid of Light, The Darkside of Dimensions, and Duel Links Seto Kaiba has virtual simulations/NP Cs of himself, Yami Yugi, Yami Bakura, and possibly Yami Marik (as of this writing he hasn’t shown up yet, but Bakura’s an NPC so he might be too). The Falsebound Kingdom video game also has NP Cs of Pegasus, Ishizu, Odion, and both Mariks, plus guys from Forbidden Memories. And then there were the virtual worlds in the anime’s Legendary Heroes and Noah arcs, which had tons of NP Cs named and unnamed, plus Duel Monsters.
I just picture them all banding together to try and escape to the real world and everybody gets confused XD

How would an Akiza vs Zuzu duel go?
King of Anime
Depends on who the writers favor more. Looking up their profiles online they have an equal win/lose streak. Yuzu did beat her main character as opposed to Aki losing to hers twice but seeing as Yuzu only won because Yuya was goofing off I'm not sure it counts. In which case Aki has still lost to her Yusei twice whereas Yuzu has no duels against Yuya that count. So it's honestly hard to say given what we know about both girls. I guess you could compare their decks but I'm not familiar enough with how the game is actually played to guess based off that.

So when does Vrains start again?
One Strip! One Strip!
It starts in May, with a lead-in TV special April 5.
EDIT: I wonder what would happen if Yami Bakura ever put the Ring on Yugi or Marik. Since it burns people to the bone from the inside out if they're not worthy would it kill them, or would their own Items protect against it?

I would suspect that it would do just that if what happened to those who aren't chosen are any indication. Although Yami Bakura did try to possess Mokuba in Duelist Kingdom in order to obtain the Eve but he dropped that plan after Tristan knocked him out and saw an opportunity to obtain the Millennium Eye.
That was anime-only, though Capsule Monsters, Monster Capsule GB, and DSOD also had Bakura/the Ring possessing other people. MC GB even had Bakura going for Kaiba after Death-T cause he was in a coma and pretty much soulless at the time.
I wonder what the other Items would do to someone who wasn't worthy. The Ring burned people to the bone from the inside out and the Puzzle never let itself be solved/was implied to make people obsessed with solving it. I imagine the Eye and Necklace driving people mad with visions and maybe the Rod and Key would shut down peoples’ minds, while the Scales would call up Ammit or something.

So what archetypes would you like to see? I hope to see the Gladiator Beasts, the Crystrons and Six Samurai/Legendary Six Samurai.
Surrounded by weirdoes
Kaiju, Noble Knight, Kozmo and Super Quant for the lulz, and maybe see an old monster get their own archetype.

Wake me up at your own risk.
Alternatively what archetypes would you like to see return? I'd like to see how the Harpies are done in future series too.
The i. one.
Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth. Not exactly an archetype, but this thing has been crying for legacy support for years. And it's yet another thing Arc-V messed up by not showing how that one guy summoned it.
Limited yes, but once you have one on the field I see nothing to stop a player from spamming extra deck monsters like usual. Oh course, I'm talking in the context of the anime here, where I assume Link summoning has been normalized for a while, unlike IRL where everyone's SOL until all the older, popular archetypes get Link support.
Looking at the new characters, I was rather surprised at how completely normal Aoi's design was, even by anime standards, then I hit the "next" arrow to gaze upon Onizuka and saw that Yu-Gi-Oh hasn't lost it. Dude looks like a Stardust Crusaders-era Jojo character who got lost. And I actually find Yusaku's hair to look less weird in his VR avatar form.
