Aqua (アクア Akua) is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime. She is one of the six Ignis, representing the WATER-Attribute, and she is stated to be the second-in-command among them under Lightning. Her Origin is Miyu Sugisaki, and she favors allying with humanity. She was imprisoned by Lightning prior to the destruction of the Cyberse, and after being freed by Earth she teams up with Miyu's childhood friend Skye Zaizen to fight Lightning alongside Ai, Flame and their human allies. She was absorbed into Bohman after he defeated Blue Maiden.

Design
Appearance
Like all Ignis, Aqua is a small digital humanoid being. Like other Ignis, Aqua has markings over her light blue body; her markings are bright blue and often shaped like teardrops. She has acorn-shaped pink eyes, though they are yellow in her "energy form". Aqua is the only known female Ignis, with a teardrop-shaped head and inverted teardrop-shaped "pigtails". Her chest, hips, and knees are more pronounced than her male counterparts.[2]
Personality
Aqua is very kind, caring, and motherly, and she desires a peaceful relationship with humanity. She has the well-being of her fellow Ignis at heart; constantly berating and worrying about the lazy and rebellious Ai, and withholding her decision to side with humanity from Earth so that he would make his own decision.
Abilities
As an Ignis, Aqua has the ability to create and manipulate Data Material. She is capable of healing damage caused by programs. However, her abilities are not as strong as those of Lightning; she proved unable to wake Miyu Sugisaki from her computer virus-induced coma. Out of all of the Ignis, Aqua is the most perceptive, to the point of being both precognitive and capable of discerning when someone is lying.
Biography
History
Aqua and the other Ignis were created by Dr. Kogami to be the saviors of humanity; Aqua was created from Miyu Sugisaki. Alongside her fellow Ignis, Aqua evolved and they created the Cyberse and the Cyberse monsters. Their progress worried Dr. Kogami, who predicted the AI and humanity would become enemies.[2] Despite this, Aqua and the other Ignis continued developing the Cyberse; Aqua's sector becoming a large ocean with floating pools of water and a steel blue tower. Aqua became the second-in-command among the Ignis under Lightning, and often expressed concern over Ai's laziness. In Ai's words, the Ignis would never try to harm humanity, and would rather live in their own world.[3]
Varis launched an attack on the Cyberse with three of his "Cracking Dragons". Aqua and the other Ignis were sealed off and could not retaliate, except for Ai. Varis and one "Cracking Dragon" chased Ai as Aqua tried to warn him, and Ai escaped and severed the connection to the Cyberse's location. Aqua and the others realized that Ai meant to hide their world, at the price of being unable to return. Just as Ai succeeded and gloated about it, the pursuing "Cracking Dragon" devoured him.[4]
Following the attack, the Ignis debated whether to ally with humanity; Aqua favored allying with humans, but she did not inform Earth of this decision. Aqua called Earth to her one day, claiming that the Cyberse would soon be broken apart and that Earth had to choose whether he would side with humans or the other Ignis. She wished for Earth to make his own decision based on his own judgment of the situation, and she gave him "G Golem Crystal Heart".[5] Soon after, Aqua found Lightning in his cave, creating the "Judgment Arrows" Link Spell Card. Lightning claimed that the card was intended for protecting the Cyberse, but Aqua sensed that he was lying and something dangerous from Lightning. Lightning admitted he'd needed to be worried about Aqua and imprisoned her with a program. Aqua asked why Lightning was doing this, but Lightning transported her away, claiming that the Cyberse would be erased in order to further his plans and that he wouldn't let her interfere.[6]
Ignis War
Aqua was imprisoned in a concealed island within LINK VRAINS 2.0 for over three months. Earth eventually found her, telling Aqua the name he had given her as well as his own. He ripped apart Aqua's prison with his bare hands despite the risks, an effort which exhausted him. As they escaped, Aqua healed Earth's hands and explained that Lightning had imprisoned her and was probably also responsible for destroying the Cyberse. Aqua then sensed that they were being followed, and a cloaked man approached them. Unable to evade them, Earth apologized to Aqua and pushed her off his tree avatar into the depths of LINK VRAINS to keep her safe while he Dueled the cloaked man.[6] Aqua later sensed something, and she realized that Earth had been killed.[7] Aqua attempted to seek out Miyu for aid, but Lightning had infected her with a computer virus that rendered her comatose. Aqua was unable to heal Miyu, but she was able to obtain a fragment of her memories with Skye Zaizen, one of Miyu's childhood friends who had inspired Miyu to persevere though the Hanoi Project. Aqua traveled to the pocket world that Earth had hidden in, where she recalled talking with Earth and giving him "G Golem Crystal Heart", crying and expressing regret that Earth had been cruelly killed by humans before he could decide his future. Her tears formed a heart-shaped memorial for Earth, though Aqua still intended to side with humanity.[8]
Aqua was then attacked by The Shepherd, one of SOL Technologies' Bounty Hunters. She dodged his energy blasts and challenged him to a Duel, but The Shepherd intended to destroy her rather than capture her. She tried to escape into LINK VRAINS, but The Shepherd found her again and informed her that he could track the Ignis algorithm. Blue Gal then saved Aqua from The Shepherd, and she and Ghost Gal used a program to conceal themselves from the Bounty Hunter. Aqua realized that Blue Gal was Skye, and she explained that Miyu had been her Origin and a victim of the Lost Incident. She told them that she had tried to save Miyu from Lightning's virus, but had been unable to, only gaining her memory of Skye. Ghost Gal then volunteered to distract The Shepherd and allow them to escape.[8] As they waited, Aqua told Blue Gal that Miyu had thought of Skye during the Lost Incident, vowing to see her again and apologize. Skye was shocked at the idea of Miyu wanting to apologize when she was still thankful for her, and Aqua stated that Skye had given Miyu courage that had been passed on to Aqua, asking Blue Gal to fight Lightning alongside her. Blue Gal agreed, stating that it was her turn to fight as Miyu had, and Aqua took up residence in Blue Gal's Duel Disk. They greeted Ghost Gal, the Dark Ignis, the Fire Ignis, and their human partners, Playmaker and Soulburner outside Ghost Gal's dissipated program, and the two Ignis expressed their relief at seeing Aqua was all right, introducing themselves as Ai and Flame. Aqua explained that Blue Gal had agreed to fight alongside her, and Blue Gal changed her Avatar to Blue Maiden. The three Ignis flew into the sky with their partners, affirming their goals and their decision to fight together.[9] As they and Ghost Gal headed back to the location where Aqua had been imprisoned, Aqua asked Blue Maiden if she had any regrets given the dangers of the coming battle, and Blue Maiden reassured her that she didn't as this wasn't just Aqua's fight, but Blue Maiden's to save Miyu. Aqua noted that Blue Maiden could wind up on opposite sides to her brother, but Blue Maiden believed that he would understand, claiming she had to walk her own path eventually. They arrived at Aqua's former prison, but Lightning had covered his tracks well and left no traces.[10] They continued their search for Lighting, noting that he would likely erase anything that opposed him, and finally found a lead; a portal detected by Playmaker's ally that led to Lightning' palace, where he was Dueling The Shepherd.[11] Aqua observed the Duel closely, noting the specifics of Lightning and Shepherd's tactics, though Shepherd was eventually defeated. Ghost Gal ran to him before his data was eliminated, revealing that The Shepherd was her brother, before Lightning escaped again.[12]
Playmaker and Soulburner later appeared in LINK VRAINS, and Skye decided to log in as well to see if they had found a lead on Lightning. Aqua found herself sensing that something sad would happen, and they watched as Gore, the Bounty Hunter who had captured Earth, approached Playmaker and challenged him to a Duel. Aqua and Blue Maiden logged in and joined Flame and Soulburner to watch the Duel between Playmaker and The Gore. As Gore changed his monsters into Cyberse monsters, Aqua realized that he had placed Earth's decompiled data into his Duel A.I. Implant Chip and that he intended to Summon "Crystal Heart", and she watched in horror as he did so, using the effect of "Crystal Heart" to enhance his ace monster.[13] Gore pushed Playmaker into a corner with his enhanced tactics, but Playmaker was able to defeat him with the hidden effect of his Skill, "Neo Storm Access". After the Duel, Ai devoured Earth's data from Gore, but was only able to extract "Crystal Heart" from it, which he gave to Aqua afterwards, telling her that it would make Earth the happiest.[14] Aqua added the card to the "Marincess" Deck she had given Blue Maiden, transforming it into "Marincess Crystal Heart".[15]
