'''HalHarlin''', known as '''Haru''' (ハル, ''Haru'') in the Japanese version, is a character and an upcoming character antagonist in the second season of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'' anime. He works with [[BowmanBohman]] towards their goal, and he is described as a mysterious boy who holds the key to the new plot.<ref name="YGOrg More Info On Season 2" /> Though he is described as Bohman's little brother, in truth he is older than him and is a second-generation A.I. created by [[Lightning]] as a prototype to Bohman, tasked with guiding him on his journey.
==Design==
===Appearance===
Harlin appears in two different outfits within [[LINK VRAINS]]. In the first, he wears a dark blue long-sleeved shirt with a white blazer with yellow accents, orange pants with yellow accents and the cuffs turned up just past the knees to reveal an aquamarine lining, a pink belt with a silver buckle and an aquamarine, diamond-shaped fastener, and white boots with pink soles. His second outfit is a more ornate military-style garb similar to those worn by [[Jin Kolter]] and [[Bohman]]; he wears a white mantle with a gold border and a red tip and green shoulderpads with a slight collar. Under this mantle he wears a long black coat with golden edges, red shoulders, and an orange belt. He also wears red gauntlets with golden cuffs, black boots, and white "flared" pants tucked into his boots. As with Bowmanall members of [[Lightning]]'s organization, the Southern Cross star is prominent in HalHarlin's design; his boots have yellow stars on the ankles, and his blazer has a larger star on the chest. His gauntlets, boots, and mantle over the heart bear it in his military garb.
===Personality===
Harlin's voice actor, [[Ryoko Shiraishi]] describes Hal Harlin as possessing lovely expressions, but also countless different types of feelings. He puts these to use to manipulate Bohman, demonstrating casual annoyance at his crude Dueling and the argument between [[Bit]] and [[Boot]], and nonchalance at Lightning casually rewriting Bohman's memory. Harlin does not truly consider himself Bohman's brother in the manner that Bohman does, and downplays his own importance. However, deep down Harlin does indeed come to treasure the time he spent with Bohman, and before being erased, he genuinely calls Bohman his brother rather than out of instruction. In the dub, Harlin's deeper characterization is significantly changed. He possesses a far deeper self-loathing, believing his brotherly bond with Bohman to be non-existent due to merely being programming. Lightning tells him that Bohman becomes a new person every time his memories are changed, so he is effectively not his brother and does not remember his name; when Bohman does recall Harlin's name after gaining his true memories, Harlin finds himself weeping tears of joy. He is notably more eager to volunteer to Duel Blue Maiden when Lightning brings up the topic, as it would be for Bohman's safety. ===Abilities===Harlin is a skilled coder, implanting an anti-Ignis program within [[Bohman]] to prevent [[Ai]] from eating him and breaking through the restricted area of [[LINK VRAINS]]. When he uses his [[Skill]], "[[Marker's Portal]]", the star on his outfit glows.
