Vrains is harmless? The show that said you can get over PTSD if someone tells you to man up? The show that said women deserve to be violated and tortured for standing up for themselves? The show that said in the end, suicide really was the answer? But of course, you can’t stop criticizing Go Rush, where the protagonist is an immigrant and the women have agency.

In all seriousness, please go outside and touch grass. You're clearly inventing an Ark that doesn't exist.

That said...

PTSD and Manning Up

If you mean Soulburner, he and Flame found a way past it, some people are able to process and move on from PTSD, some aren't, some people are able to confront and resolve traumas best by exposure (exposure therapy is a thing but yes I realize this wasn't therapy).

I dunno man, I found Soulburner meming on Blood Shepard to be funny as heck.

Women Being Violated

If you mean Blue Angel, she wasn't the sole character to get bounced, a huge point between her, Go and Soulburner is they were chasing heroics and play acting being the hero, and a huge theme of VRAINS is heroism is a dangerous attitude to have. That having a savior complex is dangerous. That life isn't quite that simple and clean cut.

That people will die and get hurt and suffer badly because of it.

(I have argued multiple times Aoi should of gotten to save Miyu even if it was against Bitchy Dominatrix Sexbot Miyu)

Suicide

Mmmm, the whole point in the ending is the whole set of affairs started by Lightning was classic Greek Tragedy? Ai WANTED any other answer than to kill himself and just walk off into the sunset and be with Yusaku.

It's not saying Suicide is always the answer, it's VRAINS commenting on its focus on fate, destiny and the chain of karma and inevitability, that Ai would cause the end of the world because the last person that meant anything to him emotionally would die to protect him, removing his last chain of sanity.

I think that makes his whole arc, you know, actually interesting, that we have a hero who doesn't want to do wrong, but his own positive traits are tragically what are making him suffer.

Like. That's actually interesting writing?

He's faced with the apocalypse, death, ego death and giving birth to a race of AI, or gay marriage. And that's actually, I dunno, I think it's good writing. You've given a character a tragedy and no real easy answer.

Go Rush!!

I dunno man, I like Yudias, I like the women in the show.

I just think the end of the second arc was poorly managed/rushed feeling and Rovian wasn't given any actual motivations/clear chain of logic to oppose THE LUGH. Which I've said are probably victims of Yudias' actor getting COVID.

I'm critical because I think the rest of the show is pretty good (a little weaker than SEVENS outside of SEVENS' last arc), and it disappoints me that it kinda flopped with Rovian or more clearly telegraphing the Space Treasure, when the rest of the show's pretty okay to banger.

Is Manabu fascist?

Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! is a show for 7 year olds that has a lot of social satire.

Manabu is a lampoon of well meaning but hopelessly inept police officers.

This is a common stereotype in Japanese media.

If you cannot accept this answer, please seek help from a mental health professional.

[arkadiaasks]

Do you ever wish Manabu had died horribly?

no.

please get over your mental illness about this.
