Welcome to the Dark Side! We play Children's Card Games!
Hello everyone, I'm Darky and with me are my pals, Darkit the Zorua and Fluvee the Eevee. This Blog is just around for me to unleash some of my madness onto the world.
Okay, I know I’ve fangirled over this scene enough as it is but I’m sorry this is to freaking adorable to not go into more detail about this.
Kiku being nervous about going into Link Vrains for the first time and Takeru reassuring her that it is fine. Bonus points for the fact that we see Takeru in his thug outfit with his present day hair and glasses.
Soulburner catching Kiku with style and doesn’t let her go.
Soulburner showing Kiku around Link Vrains. Bonus points for the fact that people were present to see this, letting everyone know that sadly one of the heroes of Link Vrains is taken, and even more bonus points that freaking Brave Max supports the ship.
Kiku complimenting her new boyfriend and Soulburner blushing from the statement (I’m weak for thug boy meets soft girl and thug boy just melts).
Soulburner continues to be Playmaker’s biggest fanboy and Kiku is all for it.
Just the fact that this is probably the happiest that Kiku has ever seen Takeru in years.
I like to repeat the fact that he DOESN’T LET HER GO AND KIKU SAYS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE FACT OR OBJECTS TO IT! IT JUST SEEMS SO NATURAL AND I LOVE IT!
The only thing that could make this better is if Flame was here to see his boy finally become a man, or if we got a quick five second scene of Soulburner looking into the sky and maybe seeing a cloud that looks like Flame looking down at him with a smile and a quick piece of dialogue saying how proud he was of his Origin but like I said before, I like to think that whoever Flame ended up, he is able to watch over Takeru with a proud smile and Takeru doesn’t have to look up to the sky to know that or to hear Flame’s voice (I think that was made pretty clear during the Revolver duel).
I also like the idea of Flame proceeding to tear into Takeru’s soul about this because lets be real here, if Flame was still alive, he would never let Takeru live this down while Takeru would die from embarrassment while Kiku would just laugh. They would have made such a perfect family! I’m sad now.
In works of fiction, one of the hardest things to do isn’t so much as writing a solid story but trying to find a way to end it with a satisfying conclusion. It could be a happy, sad, or all of the above as long as it fits the story that you have building up to at this point. After all, this is the last thing your viewers are going to be seeing. The last big take away before they have to move on. What is going to be the legacy of this fiction? A ending can make or break a series after all. Just look at Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V for example. Looking back at it, it was such a groundbreaking entry into the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise for being the first series to make all the Extra Deck Summoning Mechanics relevant to the story instead of pushing them off to the side for the newest one in Pendulum at the time. It was a huge nostalgia trip by paying homage to the past series that came before it from using their locations for the different dimensions to bringing back past characters, in a way anyway, to the forefront. There is just so much more I could say about that spin-off but to put it in a nutshell, ARC-V just did so much right at the time but of course we all can’t forget that damn ending. The way that ARC-V ended just left pretty much everyone who had watched it from the very beginning with such a sour taste in our mouths. I don’t think I need to explain why, anyone who has seen the final knows exactly what I’m talking about, but yeah, it goes to show that a finale leaves a lasting impression and is pretty much why, even to this day, a majority of people consider ARC-V to be the worst Yu-Gi-Oh series to date.
So with all that being said, how did Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains finale do? Was it able to wrap everything up into a perfect little package with a nice bow on top? Well honestly, the package itself was a freaking mess and a half but I will say the bow on top wasn’t half bad for what it was worth. We all knew with Vrains ending way to early compared to the previous series that things were going to be getting rushed at the end but I will say that even if things were rushed, and it wasn’t the most satisfying ending they could have given us, what they did give us still left me feeling fulfilled and with Vrains being the absolute train wreck that it was, at the end of the day, I’ll call that a win.
Dialga is my Number one FAVORITE legendary pokemon. My first run on Diamond cemented that and with Explorers of time it only further proved stronger. I love everything about this time dinosaur!
