This troper can\\\'t work out if Vaatu (specifically in \\\"The Beginnings, part 2\\\") is actually a ShoutOut to the Reapers of the \\\'\\\'Frachise/MassEffect\\\'\\\' series, or a mere coincidence. Vaatu\\\'s shape and colour scheme sort of resembles a Reaper, especially as he grows in size, and when he fires his beam it sounds a lot like the noise Reapers are known for (especially when they fire their beams). Vaatu even seeks to bring about a new era through the world\\\'s destruction, which is what the Reapers have been doing every 50, 000 years (and here we have the Harmonic Convergence that occurs ever \\\'\\\'10, 000\\\'\\\' years).

Hell, thinking on it further it almost seems like a WholePlotReference, with spirits vs. humans resembling synthetics vs. organics. Bearing in mind that Asami\\\'s character design resembling [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Lust]] turned out to be a complete coincidence, this troper is unsure whether to add Vaatu in as a shout out or just leave it be (and that she may be reading too much into it).

Put that same kind of duelist against the duelists that beat Mai, and they\'ll likely get beaten MUCH faster.

Put that same kind of duelist against the duelists that beat Mai, and they\\\'ll likely get beaten MUCH faster. That, and it isn\\\'t a matter of her losing, but also who she loses to, what stage of the respective tournament she loses at, and why she loses. If it were for a careless move against a garden variety duelist, then she would be a case of the trope.
