Cousins: Kane Zaizen (Emma and Akira's only child/son.)
Eye Colour: Green
Hair: Similair to Blue Maiden's wavy hair, which is brown mainly from the top to the bottom, but it gets bluer more when it goes down, with purple highlights around it.
Friends: Taylor Hamilton (Theodore and Kiku's oldest child) and Hitoshi Hamilton (Their youngest child)
Link VRAINS Name: Playmaiden.
Deck: A combination of Code Talkers and Marincess (She makes it work.)
The reason of her name is because it is based on Ariel from The Little Mermaid because it reminds them of Aqua. She didn't get Link VRAINS account until she was 12 because they didn't want their child to get involved with the trouble like they did. She was gifted the Marincess and Code Talkers when she was 8 because Skye and Yusaku wanted to gift to them the thing that brought them together and so she could create bonds like they did. She called herself Playmaiden as a tribute to her parents.
Ai spoils her rotten and claims to be her favourite uncle, when in reality, it is Ryoken. The first duel she had in Link VRAINS was with Ai, who let her win, but not that he made it obvious.
Finally her personality, unlike her parents, she is actually a social butterfly and is able to befriend anyone, she is actually a morning person despite her dad being a night owl and her mom being a exhausted pigeon, she is super energetic, but from what she did get was her father's intelligence and her mother's kindness.
“No, I’m not done yet! I’ll pummel you until there’s nothing left! I’ll annihilate the ignis and fulfill my father’s wishes!”
Ugh, what a daddy’s boy
He continues, “I’ll show you a duel in the extreme domain that transcends knowledge!”
IS HE ABOUT TO SHOW US HIS KNOWN UNKNOWNS?!???

“Next turn? Ha! I’m not such a soft duelist!”
SHUT YOUR MOUTH, REV

AI DOESN’T THINK IT’S POSSIBLE FOR REV TO WIN THIS TURN
AND FOR PLOT REASONS, HE WON’T

Playmaker fucked up? SIGH ME UP FOR THAT SHIT
REV ACTIVATES BORRELGUARD DRAGON’S EFFECT
SENDS MIRROR FORCE TO THE GRAVE AND SUMMONS EXCODE TALKER TO HIS SIDE OF THE FIELD

IF IT’S EXTRA LINKED!
ALL THE CARDS IN PLAYMAKER’S HAND ARE DESTROYED!
AND THE OPPOSING PLAYER… TAKES…

If this wasn’t the last duel of the season I would deadass say Playmaker just lost
AND THE EFFECT CAN’T BE NEGATED WOOOOOOOW
THE ATTACK CONNECTS?!?
UM.
IN THE REAL WORLD, SHOICHI IS NOT OKAY
NEITHER IS NAOKI, WHO DECIDES TO OPEN HIS TABLET AGAIN ONLY TO BE GREETED BY THAT OP FUCKING ATTACK

“There was no new path :)”
Um, why are you smiling bitch
Being held back by the past isn’t a good thing
BUT THE SMOKE CLEARS AND

HOW THE FRESH HELL DID THAT HAPPEN
REV IS FUCKIN SHOCKED
BUT PLAYMAKER HAD A TRAP THAT LET HIM TWO CARDS AT THE LAST MINUTE TO CUT DOWN THE DAMAGE
IT’LL BE UP FOR 4 TURNS
AND WHILE THAT TRAP IS UP
NO OTHER MONSTERS ON THE FIELD CAN ATTACK
IF REV TRIES TO TAKE THE CARD OUT
ALL HIS MONSTERS’LL BE DESTROYED
“What a desperate move. Playmaker, you said that my words saved you.”
Flashback time!
Baby!Ryoken encouraging baby!Yusaku, being the most Special of all Special Persons
Back to the present!
“But now I’m going to give you three things to make you despair!
“One: Your life is over in four turns!
“Two: During these turns, I’ll seal away all your moves!
“Three: The Tower of Hanoi will be completed, and everything will end!”
I swear Rev sounds excited about the Absolute End of All Things
Well, I guess that makes sense?? Everyone he loves is dead.
Rev ends his turn!
Activates his monsters effect (which can only happen after he’s done)
It lets him special summon a different monster
He brings out a 2100 ATK monster
And Ai is practically in tears
Same here bby
Link Turrent also goes to the grave since it’s run out of counters
“NOW IT’S YOUR TURN, PLAYMAKER!”
“Yeah… I know…”
OUR BOY FALLS TO HIS KNEES
AI IS DISTRAUGHT
“Are you okay, Playmaker??”
“I’m fine… nothing’s wrong…” YOU GODDAMN LIAR.
AND JUST LIKE THAT, HE FALLS FLAT ON HIS FACE
“Please, Playmaker! Don’t lose now! I don’t want to vanish! I have a homeward and friends! I don’t want all that to be gone!”
“Friends…?”
“Yeah. They’re waiting for me to come home!”
“What kind of place is Cyberse World?”
AHHHH AI IS GONNA TELL US A STORY
“It’s a good place! It’s our paradise!”
FLASHBACK TO THE CYBERSE!
It does look very, very pretty
And not overtly tech? Like I know it’s all digital but there’s lot of imagery from the natural world. It also has a city skyline which is… interesting…
Ai continues, “the six inis created the world. We created lots of Cyberse monsters. We all divided our responsibilities and lived as we liked.
“… well, I was last and didn’t work much, so they thought I was a nuisance.”
Lmao, Ai was dicking around with a Cyberse monster and Baby Blue tried to tell him to Stop That and Go Back to Work
BUT AI HOPPED THE FUCK AWAY?? That’s my shitty purple son lol
He goes on, “we’re not thinking of doing bad things to humans, like Revolver suggested. We just want to live there quietly.
“I did use you. But only because I wanted to go home! I just want to return to my friends! Playmaker, stand up!”
MY BABY CHILD.
SHOICHI ALSO DEMANDS THAT YUSAKU STAND UP AND SHOOT REVOLVER IN THE HEAD WITH ONE OF HIS OWN MACHINE GUNS
Ai keeps talking to him, “you also have friends to protect.”
Playmaker looks up
His vision goes in and out of focus.
“That must be nice…”
I just want to highlight how there was a dramatic pause here
Having friends is definitely nice, Yusaku.
He finishes. “I also have things I want to do!”
ALRIGHT, HE STANDS UP
REV MAKE STHE CANDLE IN THE WIND ANALOGY, WHICH GRINDES MY GEARS HOW DARE HE STEAL GO’S LINES
REV KEEPS TALKING SHIT
ALSO, NOT ONLY CAN PLAYMAKER ALSO NOT ATTACK
BUT IF HE KEEPS ANY CARD IN HIS HAND,
3000 LP DAMAGE’LL COME HIS WAY
PLAYMAKER TAKES HIS TURN!
DRAWS!
SETS IT FACEDOWN AND ENDS HIS TURN!
REV TAKE HIS!
SUMMONS A 1900 ATK MONSTER
AND BY BORRELOAD’S EFFECT, HE BRINGS THAT MONSTER DOWN TO 1400 ATK
BUT WHEN THAT CARD IS TARGETED BY A LINK MONSTER IT’S DESTROYED
REV SENDS PLAYMAKER’S FACEDOWN TO THE GRAVE, MAKING GOOD ON HIS PROMISE TO SEAL AWAY ALL OF PLAYMAKER’S MOVES
REV SETS A FACEDOWN, ENDS HIS TURN, ACTIVATES THAT EFFECT TO SUMMON AN 8TH MONSTE AT 2500 ATK
“The situation has gotten worse!”
“Don’t complain. It’s a miracle we’re still standing.”
“But at this rate, we’ll lose!”
“You’re right. We have to do something.”
Playmaker’s fuckin laughing
Our protagonist has finally snapped lmao
He continues, “there’s nothing to do but laugh in this situation. But that doesn’t mean I’ve given up!”
PLAYMAKER TAKES HIS TURN!
HE PLAYS A SPELL CARD
IT LETS HIM DRAW TWO CARDS, AS LONG AS HE SHOWS THEM TO REV
Ai comes out of the duel disk…! “I pray for good cards!”
“Lol, I thought His don’t pray.”
Aw shit. It’s come full circle.
“I’ll pray this time!”
PLAYMAKER DRAWS!
IT’S A SPELL AND A TRAP!
HE PLAYS THE SPELL!
IT LETS HIM SUMMON A 1000 ATK MONSTER
HE USES IT TO LINK SUMMON
BRINGS OUT A LEVEL 1 LINK AT 1000 ATK
AND IT ISN’T EFFECTED BY REV’E EFFECTS!
AND MONSTERS IN THE EXTRA ZONE CAN’T ATTACK
HE SETS THAT FACEDOWN, ENDS HIS TURN
THAT’S 4 TURNS!
THAT TRAP THAT WAS PROTECTING HIM IS DESTROYED
IT GOES UP INTO THE SKY AND NOW! IT’S RAINING ALL OVER MY SONS!!
“Now both our monsters can attack.”
Ai is mildly freaking out. “Is this okay? He has seven dragons. Our situation is worse than before.”
“No problem…. BRING IT ON, REVOLVER!”
That’s it!
Preview time
The duel continues!
“This duel is destiny. Whether he likes it or not, he must end this. When everything is over, the destined one burdened by a disgusting past no longer exists. Yusaku begins walking a new path!”
