User:Sanokal K-T

My name is Sanokal, admin on this site, fanfiction author of Yu-Gi-Oh! Dissidia, part-time deviantartist, and the only New Zealander on the Internet, and that is all that you need to know. Oh fine, I'll put out a bit more.

G.O.D card appearances

Each "G.O.D." card references one or more of the Egyptian Gods:

• "Zero King Reiji" is a humanoid figure with an effect that activates by Tributing monsters, referencing "Obelisk the Tormentor", an effect that is said to instantly defeat the opponent, referencing both "Obelisk" and the Point-to-Point Transfer effect of "The Winged Dragon of Ra", and an effect that activates when the opponent performs a specific action that reduces their ATK, referencing "Slifer the Sky Dragon".

• "G.O.D.-Eyes" is a dragon with a saurian posture, referencing "The Winged Dragon of Ra", is the only one to possess a fixed original ATK score, referencing "Obelisk the Tormentor", and has an effect triggered by a specific action and can both raise its ATK by multiples of 1000 and reduce the ATK of an opponent's monster (in the manga), referencing "Slifer the Sky Dragon".

• "Genesis Omega Dragon" is a serpentine dragon with an effect that increases its ATK by 1000 and one that is triggered by a specific action, referencing "Slifer the Sky Dragon", can destroy cards on the field instantly and is said to be the strongest of the series, referencing "The Winged Dragon of Ra", and its head is surrounded by spikes and crests, resembling those on the head of "Obelisk the Tormentor".

Card text (Toon monster fix)

All Toon monsters can attack the opponent directly while "Toon World" is on the field and the opponent controls no Toon monsters, and all Toon monsters except "Toon Dark Magician Girl" cannot attack during the turn they are Summoned. The first Toon monsters were Special Summon-only monsters with severe restrictions; while they could be Special Summoned rather than Normal Summoned, they required "Toon World" to be on the field for their initial Special Summon, were destroyed if "Toon World" was destroyed, had to attack Toon monsters if the opponent controlled them, and required an LP cost to attack. Later Toon monsters could be Normal Summoned and had relaxed restrictions, removing the LP cost for their attacks, the necessity to have "Toon World" on the field to be Summoned, and the requirement to attack opposing Toon monsters but they were still destroyed when "Toon World" was destroyed.

Toons received a fresh wave of support in Dragons of Legend 2 that provided several powerful support cards, including "Toon Kingdom", which could protect Toon monsters in a similar manner to their anime counterparts and was treated as "Toon World". Subsequent Toon monsters were released in Booster Packs with more relaxed restrictions than previously, removing their self-destruction effect when "Toon World" was destroyed.

There are four ways in which a Toon monster's text is written.

OCG/TCG

Toon monsters released in 2000

Card text: Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing x monsters, while you control "Toon World". Cannot attack the turn it is Special Summoned. You must pay 500 LP to declare an attack with this monster. If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. Can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon monster, in which case this card must target a Toon monster for its attacks.

Includes "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon", "Toon Summoned Skull", "Manga Ryu-Ran", and "Toon Mermaid". Only "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon" has the current update of PSCT for this text; the other three all use an older text that implies that they cannot be Special Summoned, except by their own effects.

Toon monsters released in 2001

Card text: Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing x monsters, while you control "Toon World". If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. Can attack your opponent directly, unless they control a Toon monster, in which case this card must target a Toon monster for its attacks.

Only 1 Toon monster uses this text: "Toon Dark Magician Girl"

Toon monsters released in 2002

Card text: Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned. If "Toon World" on the field is destroyed, destroy this card. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack your opponent directly.

Includes "Toon Cannon Soldier", "Toon Gemini Elf", "Toon Goblin Attack Force", "Toon Masked Sorcerer". Only "Toon Masked Sorcerer" and "Toon Gemini Elf" have the current update of PSCT for this text; the other two all use older text.

Toon monsters released from 2015-2016

Card text: Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned. While you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack your opponent directly.

Includes "Toon Ancient Gear Golem", "Toon Barrel Dragon", "Toon Buster Blader", "Toon Cyber Dragon", "Red-Eyes Toon Dragon", and "Toon Dark Magician".

R

I like to consider myself an authority on R, considering I novelized it. Thus I'll attempt to clean up the related pages and add in summaries. Note this useful link as well, very difficult to find on the internet from my experience (thanks Deltaneos) and very valuable for potential DM, R, GX, and 5D's summaries that might need them in the future. You will be sorely missed, janime.

ARC-V

Okay, it seems like I'm the primary source of adding post-air information onto this wiki. So that's a thing. My memory might be a bit hazy though, so feel free to correct the info. One thing that I can't really do is upload images. I can move images from around the wiki, but what I'll do for when I don't have images is that I'll put down hidden notes for picture prompts.

Manga

I have easy access to most manga in English, except the recently released.

Current Priorities

• With the end of VRAINS Season 1 comes an end to my perspective experiment. Thus I will be catching up on VRAINS and getting our content up to date.

• Once my reserved books come in, write summaries for the English chapters of the manga that might need them. When I have time, assist properly in the cleanup of the manga summaries of Duelist.

• TOP PRIORITY, as they take a long time to write, help update the overarching ARC-V summaries, correct the grammar in the character biographies, and severely shorten the history sections for pages like Lancers and Duel Academy (ARC-V). Summaries on the to-do list are 85, 135-140, 144-147, and then every other summary in order.

• Doing the same for VRAINS. Summaries on the to-do-list are 32-37 in Season 1, and tentatively for Season 2; 50-58, 69, 70, 72-102.

• Possibly assist with the restructuring of the second series anime pages and 5D's if numbers are needed.

• Assisting with creating Rulings pages.

Grinding

01. Find the place that spawns Chansey. 02. False Swipe said Chansey. 03. Keep False Swiping until you've determined whether that Chansey has fling. This is critical to the infinite SOS chain for farming Chansey/Blissey for EXP. 04. Once you've completed step 4, switch out to either Execute line or Phantump line that has Harvest as their ability and has the move Skill Swap. Skill Swap with your target Chansey. 05. Then give it a Leppa Berry via Trick/Switcheroo/Bestow from a Pokémon that can learn the move. 06. And there you have it! Your infinite SOS chain for EXP farming is complete! As long as you don't knock out the Chansey of course.

Tip: - Use Decidueye. Chansey & Blissey that you encounter only has Egg Bomb and Fling. Poor attacl means literally no damage, lol.

Oh, a few more things.

Because Chansey knows Fling, it'll fling the Leppa Berry to your Pokémon, therefore restoring the PP of whichever move that's the lowest.

Harvest ensures it can do that infinitely while also keeping it's own PP topped up.

ARC-V Episode 80 Summary (started by Denversapple)

After his victorious Duel with Shinji, Sam met Yuya as he left on his Duel Runner. The Topsiders thanked Yuya as he "stopped" Shinji's drivel about the revolution, while the Commons and Crow expressed their hatred for Shinji's defeat. Yuya later realized that he put the victory over his entertainment Duel so he could reach Jack and that made him deepen the commotion between him and the Commons. Shinji returned and at the same time, Jean-Michel_Roger approached Yuya as he was impressed by the Duel, especially when Yuya Pendulum-Synchro Summoned. Because of this, the Commons suspected to have a connection from the Tops and the Security such as being chosen as Jack's opponent earlier though he is not known in the City. Roger defended Yuya saying that he just believed in his potential, by Yuya having the Pendulum Summon.

Roger also said that it was best for Yuya to test the Pendulum Summon with his battle with Jack, where Roger expected Jack's victory. Because of this, the High Council suspected that Roger might be trying to win Yuya by his side but Declan said that he's not that foolish. Sam also started to distrust Yuya and Roger sent Shinji to the Underground Labor Facility. After the incidents, Yuya left to his Duel Runner, claiming that she found Zuzu but a Security officer blocked him. Roger told the officer to let him go. Yuya escaped the Duel Palace and started to call Sora in the Tops' area and later in the slums, not knowing that he was being followed by an officer. Sora found Yuya and the two of them hid. The officer tossed a tracking device and left.

Sora explained that Zuzu was alive and he kept her in a safe place. He also explained his objectives since the Battle Royal and why he was in the Synchro Dimension: to save Zuzu. After Sora teleported away the end of his Duel with Yuya in the Battle Royal, he immediately came to Duel Academy to search for her, but she was not there. Sora also learned that Leo also wanted Zuzu and Celina, so he returned to Standard Dimension only to learn that Declan formed the Lancers, so he came to the Synchro Dimension. After hearing Dennis' connection in Lulu's disappearance, he sent Dennis back to Duel Academy to protect Zuzu. Yuya told him that because he sent Dennis back, the Academy would know that Zuzu and Selena were in the Synchro Dimension, but Sora interrupted that the Academy would know anyway since Obelisk Force may come in the Synchro Dimension soon. Because of Sora's loyalty to the Academy's goal to bring Celina back to the Fusion Dimension, he made a proposal to Yuy| A = Yuya must bring Celina to Sora while he handed over Zuzu to Yuya and she will be sent back to Standard Dimension. Yuya disagreed because he could not abandon Selena.

Roger eavesdropped on the conversation the whole time via the tracking device. Now knowing that Dennis returned to the Academy, he became afraid that Leo would send Yuri into the dimension. Hesitantly, he went to secure Yuya and Sora to forcefully tell him about Zuzu's location. Yuya swore to defeat Academy and hoped that Sora would open his eyes soon. Yuya saw an officer from a rooftop who shot a net aiming to trap Sora. Yuya pushed Sora out of the way and got caught instead. Yuya told Sora to protect Zuzu; as Sora left, Yuya wished him luck.

VRAINS Episode 73 section

Playmaker activates the effect of the Ritual Spell Card "Cynet Ritual" from his Graveyard since he controls no monsters, banishing it and a Ritual Monster from his Graveyard to Special Summon two "Cynet Tokens". Bohman begins to respond, but then lowers his hand, deciding that he should observe their new possibility. Playmaker chants "Appear! The circuit that leads to the future!" and sets the two "Cynet Tokens" in the Link Arrows to Link Summon the Link-2 "Cyberse Wicckid". Then Playmaker Special Summons "Backup Secretary" from his hand since he controls a Cyberse monster, and activates the effect of "Cyberse Wicckid" since he Special Summoned a monster to a zone it points to, allowing him to add "Cyberse Synchron" from his Deck to his hand, which he then Summons. Then he activates the effect of "Cyberse Synchron", allowing him to increase the Level of a Level 4 or lower by its original value. Bohman muses that he sees, deducing what new monster Playmaker instinctively drew, but he'll go no further. He activates the "Judgment Dice" effect of "Rousing Hydradrive Monarch", and Playmaker and Ai are shocked to learn that Bohman can use the effect during their turn. Bohman generates a dice between his hands, and it lands on the DARK Attribute. Ai protests that it can't be DARK again, and Bohmam reminds them that all of their DARK monsters will be sent to the Graveyard and they will take 500 damage for each one. Playmaker controls two DARK monsters, "Cyberse Wicckid" and "Cyberse Synchron", so he'll take 1000 damage and Bohman will win.

Playmaker states that won't happen, and Bohman asks, "What?" Playmaker explains that since it was Link Summoned the effect of "Cyberse Wicckid" prevents Bohman's effects from affecting both "Cyberse Wicckid" and the Cyberse that it points to. "Cyberse Wicckid" generates an energy shield with its staff around both itself and "Cyberse Synchron", and Ai cheers, asking if Bohman sees the power of their bond. Haru scoffs, calling it an annoying effect, and Playmaker continues with the effect of "Cyberse Synchron", whose ports glow blue, increasing the Level of "Backup Secretary" from 3 to 6. Then Playmaker tunes the Level 1 "Cyberse Synchron" with the Level 6 "Backup Secretary" and as the lines on his suit glow light green he chants "Flash of lightning! The unknown power transforms into a soaring dragon! Synchro Summon! Descend! Cyberse Quantum Dragon!" Bohman observes that this is the power created by their instincts, but notes that "Cyberse Quantum Dragon" only has 2500 ATK; can he defeat Bohman's monarch with that?

VRAINS Episode 74 section

Gore declares his turn and draws, then he activates the effect of "Capaptera" since Earth controls more monsters than he does, allowing him to send one monsters Earth controls to the Graveyard. He chooses "Invalid Dolmen", but Earth replies that it's pointless; Gore's monsters can't affect his own while "Ivalid Dolmen" and "Crystal Heart" are co-linked. In that case, Gore Special Summons "Dinowrestler Pankratops" from his hand. Ai is shocked by the Level 7 monster, and Gore explains that he can Special Summon it when Earth controls more monsters than he does. Next he Normal Summons "Dinowrestler Eskrimamenchi", explaining that he can do so without Tribute when he controls a "Dinowrestler" monster. He chants, "Appear! The circuit to victory!" and he sets "Capaptera", "Eskrimamenchi" and "Pankratops" in the Link Arrows to link the Circuit and Link Summon the Link-3 "Dinowrestler King T Wrextle". Playmaker observes that it's The Gore's ace monster. Gore then activates the effect of "Capaptera" from his Graveyard as it was used to Link Summon a "Dinowrestler" monster, increasing that monster's ATK by 1000 until the end of the turn. "King T Wrextle" roars as it increases to 4000 ATK, and Gore declares battle, warning Earth that he can't activate Spell or Trap Cards when "King T Wrextle" battles. He orders it to route "Crystal Heart", but Earth yells that he won't let Gore and he slams his fists together, as does "Invalid Dolmen", blocking "King T Wrextle's" punch. Gore scowls, and Earth explains that Gore must attack "Invalid Dolmen". He vows that he won't let Gore lay a finger on "Crystal Heart", and Ai cheers that Earth was able to prevent the destruction of "Crystal Heart".

But, as Playmaker notes, "King T Wrextle" had 4000 ATK, so it still destroys "Invalid Dolmen" and Ai screams as "Invalid Dolmen" explodes into stone shards. Earth is blasted backwards, his LP falling to 3400, but he activates the effect of "Invalid Dolmen" as it was destroyed, negating the effects of all cards Gore controls. Smoke envelops "King T Wrextle" and flings it backwards, shrouding it in a ghostly aura as AI cheers that Earth was able to remove the effect of "King T Wrextle". Then he activates the Trap Card "Gravity Vision", which activates by targeted an EARTH Link Monster that was destroyed by battle and Gore's monster, Special Summoning a "G Golem Token" in Defense Position and increasing its DEF by 800 times the destroyed EARTH Link monster's Link Rating. "Invalid Dolmen" was Link-3, so it increases to 2400 DEF, and in addition, as long as Earth controls the "G Golem Token" Summoned via this effect, "King T Wrextle" loses ATK equal to the Token's DEF, and it can't attack a non-Token monster. "King T Wrextle" falls to 1600 ATK, and Ai cheers that Earth is impressive; now "King T Wrextle" can't get past his Token. Playmaker warily agrees that Earth's defense is strong, but why is The Gore so confident?

Gore comments that Earth is quite skilled, so he'll show him his new power. He declares "Expanding thought capabilities! Brain Hack!" and he begins screaming as electricity crackles over his body, much to Playmaker, Ai, and Earth's shock. Gore sees himself in a clustered plantspace, and Playmaker asks what Gore did. Gore's pupils and the edges of his irises glow yellow, and he activates the effect of "Dinowrestler Eskrimamenchi" from his Graveyard since Earth Special Summoned a monster during Gore's turn, adding it to his hand and then Special Summoning a Level 4 or lower "Dinowrestler" monster from his Graveyard. He Special Summons "Capaptera", and then he activates the Quick-Play Spell Card, "Tyrant Dino Fusion", allowing him to Fusion Summon by sending the required Fusion Materials from his field to the Graveyard. He fuses "Dinowrestler King T Wrextle" and "Capaptera", chanting "I feel the power rising. Awaken, T Wrextle! Become the tyrant that devours everything! Appear! Dinowrestler Chimera T Wrextle!" "Chimera T Wrextle" appears with 3500 ATK, and Gore explains that the effect of "Tyrant Dino Fusion" will prevent its destruction by battle or card effects once. "Chimera T Wrextle" roars, buffeting Earth, and Gore declares that he'll show them what he was yearning for; the power that surpasses humanity's domain.

VRAINS Episode 75 section

Gore comments that he sealed away Earth's Skill, but does he still intend to continue this Duel? Earth replies that of course he does; Gore might have sealed away his Skill, but he's lost his ace monster and has few LP left. He'll protect "Crystal Heart" and defeat Gore. Gore comments that Earth's style is like looking at his past self, and he warns him that he'll show him the difference in their powers. He declares his turn and draws, then he Special Summons "Dinowrestler Coelasilat" - a Tuner monster - from his hand since he controls no monsters. Next since he controls a "Dinowrestler" monster, he Normal Summons "Dinowrestler Eskrimamenchi" without Tribute. Orange energy erupts behind him as Gore tunes the Level 2 "Coelasilat" with the Level 6 "Eskrimamenchi". He chants "The muscular ancient king, kick all your enemies! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 8! Dinowrestler Giga Spinosavate!" Earth frowns and he whispers "Synchro Summon..." Playmaker notes that Gore first used Fusion Summoning, and has now used Synchro Summoning. Blue Girl comments that The Gore has evolved. Ai protests that Earth still has a monster with 4400 ATK.

VRAINS Episode 81 sections

Playmaker and Soulburner fly across the skies of LINK VRAINS as Kolter informs them that the signal is coming from that area. Soulburner observes that Earth is on one of the floating islands, and Playmaker asks if Kolter can pinpoint the location. Then they notice something coming, and Ai states that Playmaker means Earth, right? He calls out to Earth, cheering that he knew that Earth was okay, and he spreads his arms and bids Earth to jump into them.

And then a thin figure on a Duel Board rockets towards them, and Ai barely has time to tell it not to jump into his arms. Playmaker and Soulburner recoil as the figure dives in between them and swings around to face them. Ai recognizes the figure - it's The Gore, who comments that he's found Playmaker. Playmaker whispers The Gore's name in shock, while Skye, Emma, and Aqua watch from Emma's hideout, as do Ryoken and Specter from Ryoken's speedboat. Ryoken observes that trouble has arrived, while Queen tells Gore to show her his strength. Gore declares that he'll end things with Playmaker today. Soulburner gasps in shock that Gore's face and aura are totally different from before; Gore is now as thin and frail as they are, a far cry from his usual muscular build. Soulburner asks if that is really The Gore, and Flame declares that Gore has been assimilated by placing an A.I. chip in his brain. Ai clenches his fist, muttering that Gore took Earth, and Soulburner declares that SOL Technologies must also be pursuing Earth and have sent The Gore. Gore tells Soulburner that he'll take him on after he's taken care of Playmaker and he bids Soulburner to wait patiently. Flame lightly comments that Gore already believes that Ai will lose, and Ai scoffs that it's a joke; Gore's the one who's going to lose. He tells Gore to give Earth back, but Gore ignores him and suggests to Playmaker that they go.

Playmaker begs The Gore to wait, protesting that he doesn't want to fight him. Ai asks in shock what Playmaker is talking about, and Gore asks if Playmaker wants to run away now. Playmaker protests that this isn't the time for humans to fight one another, as a huge threat is coming. Gore doesn't react, and Ai protests that he isn't the same Gore as before. Playmaker begs Gore to fight alongside him as they did against the Tower of Hanoi; he needs Gore's help. Gore declares that Playmaker defeated the opponent who defeated him, and Ai wonders what Gore is suddenly talking about. Playmaker explains that Gore means Varis, and Ai asks if Gore is still obsessed with that and notes that he can't let it go. Playmaker states that he was able to defeat Varis because Gore uncovered what card Varis had; he could have won on his own. Ai proudly begins to claim that Playmaker had him, but Playmaker angrily tells him to be quiet, and Ai quickly shuts up. Gore reflects that his gears began to malfunction after he lost to Playmaker, and the more he tried to stop them from malfunctioning, the more he deteriorated and fell, and he realized that he had to defeat Playmaker to climb out of that pit. Ai tells Gore to stop behaving like a child, and Gore also tells him to be quiet. Ai flinches back and he quickly shuts up again, muttering that even The Gore told him to be quiet. Playmaker asks if Gore really isn't the same as before; is The Gore - the proud fighter and Duelist - really gone? Gore reflects that he used to be a proud Duelist, and he can be again when he defeats Playmaker. He'll crush Playmaker and climb to great heights again. Flame grimly notes that Gore isn't listening no matter what they say, and Soulburner sadly whispers The Gore's name. Playmaker admits to The Gore that it seems he has no choice but to fight, and Gore agrees, stating that this will be Playmaker's final Duel. He accelerates past Playmaker, who turns in pursuit and they both declare "Speed Duel!"

Gore declares that he's going max from the start, and he chants "Expanding thought capabilities! Brain Hack Overlimit!" He lets out a wild cry as he sees himself in his other world, and his eyes glow orange as he declares his turn and Sets a monster, then ends his turn. Ai recalls that Gore made the same opening move against Earth, and Playmaker notes that Gore's Duel will begin when he attacks Gore's Set monster. Down below, several Duelists recognize Playmaker and The Gore, and they are shocked by the latter's appearance. Soulburner lands on a building, and then Aqua's voice calls Flame's name. Blue Maiden leaps off her Duel Board and onto another rooftop above Soulburner, commenting that it looks like it's started. Soulburner agrees, and he turns back to the Duel, admitting that he can't believe this is The Gore. He used to admire Gore as a hero who saved LINK VRAINS with Playmaker. Ryoken notes that tenacity can help people rise to new heights, but that it can also go wrong as it did with his father. Ai emerges from Playmaker's Duel Disk, noting that Gore's "Anti Skill" is a problem, as he can use it to stop their own Skill, and Playmaker agrees.

He declares his turn and draws, Setting the card that he drew and then Special Summoning "Linkslayer", explaining that he can Special Summon it from his hand since he controls no monsters. Next he Summons "Storm Cipher" and then since he Normal Summoned a Cyberse monster he Special Summons "Boot Staggered" from his hand. Blue Maiden observes that Playmaker has three monsters with at least 2000 ATK and is planning to end this instantly. Ryoken observes that Playmaker doesn't want to give Gore time to think. Playmaker declares battle, and "Storm Cipher" attacks the Set monster, generating a twister in its hands. Gore declares that his Set monster is "Dinowrestler Valeonyx", which emerges from the card image. "Storm Cipher" then releases its twister, which engulfs "Valeonyx". Gore then sends "Dinowrestler Martial Anga" from his hand to the Graveyard to activate its effect, preventing "Valeonyx" from being destroyed by battle with a monster that has equal or higher ATK. "Valeonyx" emerges unscathed from the twister, and Gore adds that the effect also ends the Battle Phase. Ai is shocked that the effect doesn't just protect Gore's monster, and Soulburner notes that it also ends the battle. Flame comments that Playmaker's strategy had been to defeat Gore quickly, but Gore was able to avoid it.

Playmaker ends his turn in frustration, and Gore asks him why he is trying to end the Duel so quickly; is he scared of him? Ai indignantly snaps that he isn't scared of Gore, and then Gore turns his gaze on Ai and he yelps that he's scared of Gore. Gore declares that Playmaker is scared of him, of his thinking ability and his "Anti Skill". Ai quietly calls Gore's personality twisted. Gore then activates the effect of "Dinowrestler Martial Anga" activates from his Graveyard at the end of the turn as it used its effect and Playmaker controls more monsters than him, Special Summoning itself. He scornfully decries Playmaker's Dueling as boring and within expectations, and reminds him that his Dueling previously defeated him and disrupted everything. He tells Playmaker to entertain him more, for only he can push Gore to great heights. He declares that he must defeat Playmaker. Ai admits to Playmaker that he thinks Gore is more dangerous than before.

Gore declares his turn and draws, and he immediately chants "Appear! The circuit to victory!" He explains that the Summoning conditions are two "Dinowrestlers" and sets "Martial Anga" and "Valeonyx" to Link Summon the Link-2 "Dinowrestler Terra Parkourio". Ai comments that it doesn't stand a chance against their monsters with only 1000 ATK, but Gore tells him not to get impatient, much to Ai's surprise. He activates the Spell Card "Crazy Evolution", Special Summoning a "Dinowrestler" monster from his hand in Defense Position whose Level is the same as a monster Playmaker controls. "Storm Cipher" is Level 4, so he Special Summons the Level 4 "Dinowrestler Systegosaur". The effect of "Systegosaur" then activates as it was Special Summoned, allowing Gore to add "World Dino Wrestling" from his Deck to his hand. The effect of "Crazy Evolution" then changes the Type of all monsters Gore controls to the Type of the monster he originally targeted - so both "Terra Parkourio" and "Systegosaur" become Cyberse monsters. Ai wonders why Gore made his cards Cyberse-Type.

Aqua suddenly senses something, and she sinks to her knees on Blue Maiden's Duel Disk. Blue Maiden asks her what's wrong, and Aqua feels a familiar sensation and she asks if it can be... Blue Maiden looks up in shock at Gore and Playmaker as Gore announces the main event, and he chants "Appear! The circuit to victory!" This time the Summoning conditions are two Cyberse monsters, and Playmaker, Blue Maiden, Aqua, Soulburner, and Flame all gasp in shock as Gore sets "Systegosaur" and "Terra Parkourio", Link Summoning a Link-2 and releasing a ball of light from his hand that swells into the monster. Aqua recognizes it in shock as the corrupted monster appears with 0 ATK and cloaked in an angry red aura, and Flame recognizes the monster too, while Ai screams "What?!" in shock - Gore has Summoned "G Golem Crystal Heart". Ai can only ask why as Gore smiles, and Aqua realizes in horror what has happened. Zaizen can't believe that The Gore has Earth's card either, and then he too realizes why. Ai snaps that "Crystal Heart" is Earth's card and he asks why Gore has it. But Gore doesn't respond, and Ai orders him to answer him; how did he get it? Gore claims that it isn't important how he acquired it, but how he'll use it. Ai curses Gore, and Playmaker grimly notes that there's something different about that "Crystal Heart" than the one Earth used. Ai pays closer attention, noting the dark red crystal and angry aura, and he agrees that it is different; it's like it's turned into Gore. Playmaker agrees; he senses that it's the same as The Gore. Ai gasps in shock, and he asks Gore if he really did it.

Gore leans forward and he confirms that he did. His left eye swells into a ball that resembles Earth, much to Blue Maiden, Soulburner, and Playmaker's collective horror. Gore closes his eye and the ball is replaced by the orange glow of Brain Hack, and Aqua whispers Earth's name. Ryoken declares that SOL Tech put the EARTH Ignis's data into The Gore; that is something that they would do. Meanwhile Specter wordlessly looks at the corrupted "Crystal Heart", trembling in silence. At SOL Technologies, Zaizen asks his staff if the Ignis data is in the A.I. chip, and his staff confirm it. Zaizen furiously snaps that just putting an A.I. chip in a human's brain is risky enough, but on top of that they added Ignis data to it. He angrily asks them why, and Queen's voice comes over the intercom, explaining that she ordered so. She reminds him that she needs data, and she utilizes all data efficiently. Zaizen angrily asks if she's willing to do anything, and Queen confirms that she is. Zaizen grits his teeth in fury, and Queen declares that business is about efficiency and production; that's the basis of basics.

Back in LINK VRAINS, Aqua confirms that Earth's data is in Gore, and Flame realizes what SOL did to Earth. Ai curses in frustration, and then he realizes what the signal that they followed was. Playmaker declares that it was a trap to lure them, and Gore agrees that it was. Ai screams at Gore to stop messing around, and Gore declares that the Ignis is under his control. Ai repeats his words, and Gore explains that they say the Ignis are a threat to humanity, and then he smiles fiendishly and claims that they aren't if they're under his control. Gore declares that he's surpassed Playmaker, and Ai angrily suggests to Playmaker that they crush Gore. Gore tells the DARK Ignis to keep talking, as he will be the next to fall under Gore's control. Ai refuses, but Gore continues his turn, activating the effect of "Dinowrestler Terra Parkourio" since it was used as Link Material, Special Summoning another "Dinowrestler" from his Graveyard with its effects negated. He revives "Martial Anga", and then activates the effect of "Crystal Heart", Special Summoning an EARTH Link Monster from his Graveyard so that it is co-linked with "Crystal Heart". He revives "Terra Parkourio", and as this effect was used, he places a G Golem Counter on "Crystal Heart", granting the EARTH monster that it points to 600 ATK. "Terra Parkourio" powers up to 1600 ATK, and Flame grimly notes that Gore is using "Crystal Heart" masterfully. Gore then activates the Field Spell Card "World Dino Wrestling", and since he has, the effect of "Terra Parkourio" activates and allows him to add a "Dinowrestler" monster from his Graveyard to his hand. He takes back "Valeonyx", and Playmaker declares that it's coming. Once again, Gore chants "Appear! The circuit to victory!" The Summoning conditions are at least two "Dinowrestlers", so Gore sets "Martial Anga" and the Link-2 "Terra Parkourio" in the Link Arrows, Link Summoning the Link-3 "Dinowrestler King T Wrextle". Playmaker grimly beholds the monster, and Soulburner and Blue Maiden leap up to another island to get a better view. Gore smiles, and he declares that he'll enjoy this final Duel between them.

VRAINS Episode 82 sections

One of Zaizen's staff declares that the synchronicity between The Gore and the A.I. is increasing. Gore sees himself in his other world, Playmaker appearing within it. He clenches his fist over Playmaker's images, and he declares that he's almost there; he's almost become a perfect Duelist. Ai observes that Playmaker seems unsure whether to defeat The Gore, and protests that this is about revenge for Earth. No matter how Playmaker feels about Gore, he's only thinking about crushing Playmaker; crushing them.

Playmaker replies that he knows, and he declares his turn and draws. He Summons "Dotscaper" and chants "Appear! The circuit that leads to the future!" setting "Dotscaper" and Link Summoning the Link-1 "Linkuriboh". The effect of "Dotscaper" then activates as it was sent to the Graveyard, Special Summoning itself. He chants "Appear! The circuit that leads to the future!" again and declares that the Summoning conditions are two monsters, setting "Dotscaper" and "Boot Staggered" to Link Summon the Link-2 "Security Dragon". Playmaker then activates the effect of "Security Dragon"; once while it is co-linked, it can return one of Gore's monsters to his hand. Ai tells "T Wrextle" to go home, but Gore explains that the effect of "Valeonyx" will prevent "King T Wrextle" from being affected by the effects of monsters with an equal or lower Link Rating. Ai freaks out, and the glow surrounding "King T Wrextle" fades and it roars. Playmaker observes that the effect of "Valeonyx" activated in the previous turn, and Gore smiles, declaring that the effects of Link-3 or lower monsters are useless against "King T Wrextle". Playmaker states that a Link-4 monster can affect it, and he Special Summons "Cross Debug" from his hand since he controls at least two Link Monsters. Gore watches as Playmaker chants "Appear for a third time! The circuit that leads to the future!" He sets "Linkslayer", "Cross Debug" and the Link-2 "Security Dragon" in the Link Arrows, Link Summoning the Link-4 "Firewall Dragon". Playmaker activates the effect of "Firewall Dragon", once it can return monsters to the hand up to the number of monsters it is co-linked to. "Firewall Dragon" draws back its head, crackling with electricity as Playmaker declares "Emergency Escape", and Ai thanks "King T Wrextle" for its time.

Gore mutters that everything they do it within expectations, and he activates the Trap Card "Dino Deceit" since a monster with an equal or higher Link Rating than a "Dinowrestler" Link Monster he controls activated its effect, negating the effects of all monsters Playmaker controls. "Firewall Dragon" comes to rest, and Ai yelps in frustrations that they've been negated again. Gore adds that the effect of his Trap also allows him to Set a Spell or Trap from his hand, and will force Playmaker to battle this turn. Playmaker grits his teeth, and Soulburner reflects that when the Battle Phase starts, The Gore can activate the effect of "King T Wrextle" and choose which monster he attacks with. Blue Maiden notes that at the moment, Playmaker can only attack "King T Wrextle". Gore warns Playmaker that if he doesn't attack with the monster he selects, that monster will be destroyed at the end of the Battle Phase. He chooses "Firewall Dragon", and Ai notes that it's as expected, but they can't attack with "Firewall Dragon" in this situation. Gore asks if Playmaker will attack, or...? Playmaker doesn't respond, and Gore notes that he won't attack, so it's gone. "Firewall Dragon" disintegrates, and Ai curses as Playmaker ends his turn.

Out on the speedboat, Specter comments to Ryoken that The Gore's Dueling has entered unknown territory now that he's been fused with an A.I. Ryoken notes that to defeat Playmaker, The Gore will still have to Duel beyond expectations.

Playmaker Xyz Summons "Firewall eXceed Dragon".

Playmaker declares that he is overlaying the Level 4 "Firewall Guardian" and "Grid Sweeper", and the lines on his suit glow dark blue and lightning crackles from his Duel Disk as a blue X-shaped cybernetic array with four small red circles between the spokes materializes behind him. Soulburner asks what it is, and Blue Maiden asks if it isn't a Link Summon. Playmaker uses his two monsters to build the Overlay Network, and they disperse into colored particles and enter the red circles, causing a red circle to spin behind the portal, and datastream-like energy flows from the tips and forms a light blue galaxy-style portal in front of Playmaker. Playmaker chants "The wall of power that annihilates everything! Manifest as the dragon's fang! Xyz Summon! Appear, Rank 4! Firewall eXceed Dragon!" The new Xyz Monster appears with its twin Overlay Units rotating behind it in circles, with 2500 ATK.

Gore is shocked to see an Xyz Summon, and Playmaker activates the effect of "eXceed Dragon", detaching two Overlay Units to Special Summon a Link-4 Cyberse Link Monster from his Graveyard so that it is linked to "eXceed Dragon". He revives "Firewall Dragon", and adds that "eXceed Dragon" will also gain 500 ATK for each Link Arrow that the monsters linked to it have. Ai states that "Firewall" is Link-4, and "Clock Lizard" is Link-2, and Playmaker finishes that "eXceed Dragon" will gain 3000 ATK, bringing it to 5500. Then Playmaker activates the "Emergency Escape" effect of "Firewall Dragon", and its head begins to crackle with electricity. Ai announces that they'll return "King T Wrextle" to Gore's hand. But Gore activates the effect of "Dino Domain", by returning a "Dinowrestler" to his hand, his monsters will be unaffected by the effects of Playmaker's monsters until the end of the turn. He returns "Valeonyx", who explodes into red particles, but Playmaker then activates the effect of "Grid Sweeper" from his Graveyard, banishing both it and "Clock Lizard" from his field to destroy a card Gore controls. As "eXceed Dragon" drops to 4500 ATK, Gore points out that his monsters aren't affected by the effects of Playmaker's monsters.

But Playmaker reveals that his target is "World Dino Wrestling", and the Field Spell explodes, allowing Playmaker to attack with more than one monster. He declares his Battle Phase, and Gore activates the effect of "King T Wrextle", forcing "Firewall Dragon" to attack first. It only has 2500 ATK in comparison to the 4200 ATK of "King T Wrextle", so if it attacks, Playmaker will lose all his LP, so he can't attack. Ai curses that it's happened again, but Playmaker attacks anyway, much to Gore's shock, and as "Firewall Dragon" turns red, Ai screams in shock. Soulburner asks Playmaker if he wants to self-destruct, but Playmaker activates the effect of "Firewall Guardian" from his Graveyard since he declared an attack, banishing it from the Graveyard to negate "Firewall Dragon's" attack and causing it to fade back to blue. Then, Gore's monster can only be affected by its own effects until the end of this turn and its ATK becomes zero. Gore gasps "zero ATK?!" as his eyes swell into balls resembling Earth, and Ai comments that even God or Ai couldn't have anticipated this. Playmaker attacks "King T Wrextle" with "Firewall eXceed Dragon", who spreads its blue hardlight wings and attacks with "Rising Crypt Limit", blasting "King T Wrextle" away.

VRAINS Episode 96 section

Varis chants "Appear! The future circuit that lights up my path!" and declares that the Summoning conditions are at least three Effect Monsters, setting "Gateway Dragon", "Autorokket" and the Link-2 "Booster Dragon" in the Link Arrows, then chanting "My gate that slices open the closed world!" (as he chants, his monster is loaded from a hangar containing his other "Borrel" monsters) "Link Summon! Appear! Link-4 Borreload Dragon!" As his ace monster roars, Varis slams his fist into his palm, telling Lightning to prepare himself; this noble monster will discipline him

VRAINS Episode 97 section

Varis declares his turn and draws, then he activates the effect of his Field Spell "Boot Sector Launch" since his opponent controls more monsters than him, allowing him to Special Summon "Rokket" monsters from his Graveyard in Defense Position equal to the difference. He revives "Magnarokket Dragon" and then Normal Summons "Estrangement Dragon" from his hand. Lightning asks if this is what Varis is doing; Summoning a weakling? He points out that since he has "Judgment Arrows", Varis will have to Summon a monster with at least 5000 ATK to defeat him. Varis retorts that he'll show Lightning the moment where humanity's Dueling surpasses his expectations, and he activates the effect of "Estrangement Dragon" since it was Summoned, allowing him to Special Summon another copy from his Deck to Lightning's side of the field in Attack Position. Lightning is shocked that Varis Summoned it to his field, and Varis explains that "Estrangement Dragon" can't be attacked if its controller controls another monster, and since it was Special Summoned by an effect, it will be sent to the Graveyard at the end of this turn. Ai wonders what Varis is planning to do, but Playmaker notes that Varis has two Level 4 monsters, and he asks if it can be?

Varis overlays the Level 4 "Estrangement Dragon" and "Magnarokket Dragon" to build the Overlay Network, chanting "When two soaring, heroic roars merge into thunder, it opens the eternal door and shows its power! Xyz Summon! Appear, Rank 4 Borreload eXcharge Dragon!" The new "Borreload" appears with 3000 ATK, and Playmaker notes that Varis had a new trump card ready. Ai comments that Varis does the unexpected as usual, calling a Rank 4 with 3000 ATK crazy. Lightning chuckles at the sight of an Xyz Monster, but claims that it's not enough to defeat him. Varis retorts that the fact that the LIGHT Ignis thinks so highly of himself proves that he's shallow. He activates the "Anti Enemy eXcharge" effect of "Borreload eXcharge Dragon", detaching an Overlay Unit to reduce the ATK of a monster by 600. He chooses "Magnus Dux", reducing it to 1900 ATK, and also allowing him to Special Summon a "Borrel" monster from his Graveyard. He revives "Borreload Dragon", and tells the LIGHT Ignis that he's coming. "Borreload eXcharge Dragon" attacks "Magnus Dux", and then Varis activates the "Anti Enemy Rokket" effect of "Borreload Dragon" to further reduce the ATK of "Magnus Dux" by 500, to 1400. Ai cheers that the ATK of "Magnus Dux" decreased again, and Lightning declares the effect of "Judgment Arrows", doubling the ATK of "Magnus Dux" to 2800. Varis states that it's still lower than the ATK of "eXcharge Dragon", and "eXcharge Dragon" attacks with "Borrel Cannon of Thunder", building up blue energy in its wing, body, and maw cannons and blasting it in a surge of light that obliterates "Magnus Dux" and reduces Lightning to 1500 LP. Ai celebrates Varis destroying "Magnus Dux", and Lightning growls in frustration.

VRAINS Episode 104 sections

Ai declares his turn and draws, then activates the Field Spell "Ignister A.I.Land", explaining that it allows him to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower "@Ignister" monster from his hand while he controls no monsters in his Main Monster Zones. He Special Summons "Pikari @Ignister", then chants "Appear! The circuit that guides the dark!" and sets "Pikari" to Link Summon the Link-1 "Linguriboh", a darker and frowning version of "Linkuriboh". Then as he has no monsters in his Main Monster Zones again, he activates the effect of "Ignisteer A.I.Land" and Special Summons "Bururu @Ignister" Next he Normal Summons "Doyon @Ignister" and activates its effect, adding an "@Ignister" monster from his Graveyard to his hand, and he holds up "Pikari". Once again, Ai chants "Appear! The circuit that guides the dark!" and he explains that the Summoning conditions are three Cyberse monsters, including a DARK monster. He sets "Bururu", "Doyon" and "Linguriboh", chanting "The creation of dark shadows! The wisdom of dark night scatters throughout the world! Dance! Whirl! The maelstrom gathers in my hand to become the power of rising vigor! The abyss-" "That's too long bro!" Roboppi calls, and the music and Ai both stop short. "Surpass limitations! Link Summon! Appear, Link 3 Dark Templar @Ignister!" Ai chants. Roboppi comments that Ai wrapped up a lot.

Ai activates the effect of "Ignister A.I.Land" for the third time, Special Summoning "Pikari" again. Then he activates the effect of "Dark Templar @Ignister" as a monster was Special Summoned to a zone that it points to, Special Summoning as many "@Ignister" monsters from his Graveyard as possible to zones that his Link Monster points to. He resurrects "Doyon" and "Bururu", and then tunes the Level 3 WIND "Bururu" with the Level 4 "Doyon", chanting "Chaos that roams the dark road! The gale that soars the blue sky will bring the path! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 7 Wind Pegasus @Ignister!" Roboppi tells him that he wrapped it up flawlessly this time, and Ai irritably tells him to stop commenting on everything. He activates the effect of "Bururu" from his Graveyard as it was used as Synchro Material for a Cyberse Synchro Monster, Special Summoning the other Synchro Material from his Graveyard. He resurrects "Doyon" and triumphantly declares that he has two Level 4 monsters. He overlays "Doyon" and the LIGHT "Pikari" to build the Overlay Network, then chants "The supernatural! Earth-shattering! Awaken that power from eternal lamentation! Xyz Summon! Come! Rank 4! Light Dragon @Ignister!" Queen smiles and comments on its 2300 ATK, declaring that it's not enough to defeat her given that "Golden Allure Queen" has 5000 ATK. Ai smirks as Queen tells him that he can't win with this formation, and Ai asks if she's sure.
