Yugo is now dead or near dead after his devastating loss to infested!Rin. Even if Edo finds the defeated Yugo, there will be nothing left to revive him given that he failed on his mission to save Rin. Yuya might have to be the one to deinfest Rin, probably with Clear/Crystal Wing and his pendulums.
>>
Second effect for anyone who cares
>If this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyard: target a "Wind Witch - Winter Bell" and a Level 4 or lower monster in your graveyard; special summon them.

Winter Witch's effect is the same as Crystal Bell's first effect, except restricted to your own graveyard and LV4 or lower Wind Witches

He's pretty well beat up after his fall from the tower and the duel from Rin. He's pretty much in no state to rescue Rin after that, let alone duel. Look at what happened to Shun in standard after he lost to Sora. He took damage to his ribs which took a long time to heal.

>>145328929
It might be a ruse now like the rocket and Yuya vs Yugo.

>>145328944
That's probably going to Sawatari given he still hasn't faced Yuri yet.

The D-Wheel is destroyed. He usually duels with it given that it's the symbol of the relationship that he and Rin had. The fact that it's destroyed is pretty symbolic.

I don't think that Yugo will not stop trying to save Rin. But right now at this moment he's pretty powerless to save Rin. I think that ultimately it will fall onto Yuya to save Rin and purge her of her parasite. I mean Yuya has the means to try and connect with her given the Synchro Pendulum he has.

If Yugo does get nommed by Yuya and thus the Synchro Pendulum form of Odd-Eyes is unlocked maybe it and Nirv High Pal will form the scales to save Rin.

I think the purpose of Sanders and crew is to cut the size of the Lancers down. And given that Gongenzaka is indeed cut down, they partially succeeded in their plan to forestall the Lancers.

Hopefully Gongenzaka gets his Benkei moment where he takes all of the attacks that are directed to Yuya and goes out gloriously.

Aporia being the embodiment of despair and him not shutting the fuck up about "true despair" to everyone he mets.
>>
>>145330056
GX had more despair in S3 and S4 than Arc-V
5Ds had the whole destroyed future plot and people being killed and turned into Dark Signers
Zexal had the Tron family plot and the backstories of most of the Barians.
>>
>>145330119
Aporia was the embodiment of being cucked. Z-ONE was a more apt embodiment of despair considering he lost literally everything including his identity over the course attempting to save the world.
>>
>>145330247
>he lost literally everything including his identity over the course attempting to save the world
Z-One could have worked so well had they not decided to keep the dumb twist about him being a Yusei cosplayer until the very end. If revealed sooner they could have built a decent character around the concept of giving up your identity.

Z-ONE is not Jesus. He's a man who tried to become Jesus and failed. And that could have been nice if they didn't use it as a lame last minute twist.
>>
>>145330483
This. I genuinely really like the idea of Z-ONE as a character and I love that when he can't be jesus he just goes "If I can't save everyone like Yusei, I GUESS I'LL PLAY GOD" but throwing it out in such a half-assed manner during the last duel for a cheap twist is arguably the most awful usage of that character's backstory possible. Like, there were FIFTY FUCKING EPISODES they could've spent fleshing out an idea like that. But no, they had to spend all that time destroying everyone's characters and prepping to fight complete jobbers in WRGP.

>>145330638
If Yugo gets nommed and Yuya duels Rin, something I'm still not that sure will happen, they can still do it right by having the two duel together. If Yugo is an active presence in the duel then it will be ok.
>>
>>145330777
If they have Yugo assume direct control of Yuya for the duration of Vs Rin II, it'll work.

It'd be a poignant end to his arc.

I didn't acutally think they would go this direction even though I wanted them to.

Having this subplot go somewhere and the brainwashed Ruris be actual threats instead of one episode fodder is to my liking.

I don't know man, Ruri instantly threw Kaito off the tower and Shun might be failing to save Ruri, that leaves Yuya/Yuto and we already saw that using Rebellion Dragon and we already saw with Rin that using their Yu's dragon to try and reach them won't work.

>>
>>145332805
She threw him off the tower, destroyed his D-Wheel and knocked him unconscious after playing possum from his attack, what more do you want,anon? She brutalized him. Ruri was worse, she didn't even duel Kaito she just threw him off the tower immediately in an attempt to kill him and smiled evil like as soon as she spotted Shun. Doctor is like a coked up Godwin and they made it clear this episode that Yuri is the way he is because of that man just like Serena is now and probably Yuzu the next time we see her. I wanted to see the brainwashing process but I guess the it's not exactly kid friendly to show.
>>
>>145332995
Yugo literally got cowboy'd for game

Well, it's probably no more or less kid friendly than intending to cut Yuya's head open to install a brain chip.

And even with the pendulums Yuzu beat Yuya alot as well. In fact, Yuya's deck has no counter to Bloom Diva at all, I can't imagine what other fusion monster she'll get once she gets wormed like the rest of the girls.
>>
>>145334633
In-universe: She's a kid, she probably didn't get WWs until later. Or maybe she does have them, but she didn't have enough of them so she used other Wind monsters to fill out a 40-card deck.

Out-of-universe: the creators knew that she would use wind-attribute monsters, but hadn't actually designed any of her monsters yet, so they put in a random wind monster related to music.

Well now we know the Rin and Serena are completely brain washed and are just acting out the parts they know from the memories within them Brainwashed Rin knew how to act with Yugo to get him to let his guard down just like how brainwashed Serena knew how to act with the lancers until reinforcements arrived. How deadly, I can't wait to see brainwashed Yuzu and Ruri. That doctor tho, he really enjoys toying with people's lved ones. I hope Edo is the one who beats him.

>>145335343
He did show some indication of caring about Yuzu. After all, he went out of his way to save Yuzu from Roger back in the City.

>Why did Reiji not tell people about this sooner
No opportunity. Remember, the only times Reiji had with the full group of the lancers were: right before they left for synchro, when the lancers were tossed into the friendship cup, and during the synchro climax (and most of the synchro climax was spent fighting). This was honestly his only true moment alone with them since 53.
>>
>>145335260
Yeah, I'm glad that is the case. The Ruris being twisted to the point of acting their original personalities to get people's guard down is a lot better than it being some sleeper agent thing that is triggered on and off.

I wouldn't say he cares about her though. The only counterpart members Reiji has legitimately shown care to were Yuya and Serena. The rest including Yuzu, Reiji probably sees them like this "Oh yeah right, they're also part of this project."

I've honestly liked most episodes in the fusion arc so far. Even the one where Bennis carded himself, which /a/rc-v seemed to hate.

>>
>>145339953
I doubt many people minded Bennis's suicide, it's actually a good conclusion for the guy.

The problem is that Kaito is the one to dispatch him, when just about any other character would have been a better choice

But all hail Rin, our lord and savior

ninjabro is fucking dead
>>
>>145341320
He's defied the odds time and time again for a glorified extra. At this point I'd be broke if I had bet on his death with each previous deathflag.
>>
>>145335969
It wouldn't have. The only difference would be that instead of rushing to Kaito's aid: Shun would've arrived, put on Kaito's duel disk, and declared "now I am Kaito" and then rushed to face Ruri in order to shill Ruri-Eyes Cipher Falcon
>>
>>145341368
I think Tsukikage will end up as one of my favorites from this show just as a result of him defying the odds everytime and being based as fuck the full way through.
>>
>>145341448
At this point we already grew used to him, but stop to think for a second how weird and out of left field it is a fucking ninja running around, sword and all. Any other series would have him as a character of the day and that's it
>>
>>145341556
He fit Maiami city and all the quirky themes its duel schools had, but the denizens of the other dimensions had to be weirded out.
>>
>>145341263
Meanwhile having Yugo inside doesn't even register.
>>
>>145341448
This. Defying his shitton of deathflags gives him piints but on top of that he's a bro, he's calm but.not emotionless and on top of that he's fucking useful outside duels! And that speaks volumes in this franchise.

I want to see Ninjabro's reunion with uncarded Onii-sama.
>>
By the way, it is the first time Dichroic Mirror lost, right?
Cipher Projection must be next to lost
>>
>>145341681
Calling it now, Ninjabro will be the only one to survive the arc area project. Yuya and Leo or Hitoshi-Ni and Yuzu will be having an apocalyptic duel while everyone else has been carded and their souls's power is being used to fuse the dimensions. Except ninjabro, he remains as the final cheerleader.

I would agree if Shun hadn't reclaimed his screentime from Kaito and Gone full RURIIII mode. It remains whether Ruri will be making some Heartland Fried Falcon or whether Shun will successfully save his imouto.

>>
>>145334609
Hey, Sergei managed to beat both Yuya and Yuzu. Not his fault he was being led around by an incompetent.
>>
>>145342445
The whole duel was her brutally handling Yugo like he was nothing. I don't think we've seen the "good guy" in a duel get so brutally owned before in arc-v, Yuya managed to deal some damage to Jack and Reiji. And Barrett was so blatantly unfair it doesn't count.

>>145342521
He only beat Yuya because of Barrett's "fuck you" invincible combo, though.
>>
It's nice to see a pretty good episode for a change.
>>
Rin really did kick Yugo's ass up and down the field. I bet he entered the Friendship Cup without her because he knew she'd eliminate him in Semis
>>
>>145342164
If it sticks out of her ear like that, you'd think someone would have noticed.
Doesn't seem that helpful to have its tail wave around outside her head.
>>
Now that I think about it, Yuya might be the perfect person to save Rin. Crystal Veil can't copy his own monster effects if they don't go to the graveyard in the first place.

Hurry up and get nommed by Yuya Yugo. You might be able to save your waifu that way.

I'm now expecting Ruri to be much more brutal to Shun. I mean, Rin set the standard, Ruri needs to up it and Yuzu needs to exceed it.

>>
>>145343451
I want her to escape, be confronted with Serena and duel, but as Yuzu wins the doctor sneaks behind her and slips a parasite into her ear.
>>
>>145343661
What exactly was "amazing" about this episode? Yes, having Kaito and Yugo get forcefully thrown out of fucking towers was amusing, but we have an utterly one-sided one-parter duel in which Rin thrashes Yugo (sure, his win record needed to be broken eventually, but the duel itself was very boring), with no character interaction beyond "MUH RIN" and "I don't give a fuck I serve Leo now." Not to mention it's not even Rin herself dueling; she's brainwashed into a sadistic servant. It's stale as fuck and unsubstantial. Not that I'm expecting anything better-- but I can still point out its flaws. And we also have Reiji once again explaining shit we already know, save for the fact that Leo presumably knows about the 4 Yus, but seeming doesn't care for them except for Yuri.

The only good points about the episode were Ruris throwing people off of towers and rape faces.
>>
>>145344055
Worst part is she'll probably get infested off-screen. Like I won't be surprised if it shows her being mind controlled at the end of 119, 120 or 121.
>>
>>145344150
>she's brainwashed into a sadistic servant
I see no problem with that. But don't mind me, it's just my dick talking.
>>
>>145343661
>amazing

Someone here has garbage taste alright.
>>
>>145344150
I disagree, I think the duel was gut-wrenching. Between how Rin toyed with Yugo's feelings by hugging him, destroying their d-wheel and pretending to be hurt, to how it's implid that the mind control is actually stronger because Rin recognizes Yugo, it was pretty bleak and emotional.
>>
>>145340294
>The problem is that Kaito is the one to dispatch him,

This. Dennis in that episode was fantastic, but it should have been Shun or maybe even Sora.
>>
>>145344284
It was. Although amazing is pushing it too far. I'd say standard quality.
>>
>>145344392
Agreed. This ep had me as captivated as I was during the better parts of the battle royale and is a huge step up from what we've had recently.
>>
>>145344304
I agree. But the end it comes down to how much one cares about Yugo, so I can see a lot of people not liking it.

Asuka would have been a better choice but was denied for a retarded/hypocritical reason on Dennis' part.
>>
>>145343661
It wasn't that amazing but it wasn't shit either.

>Leo basically said nothing of interest.
>Reiji being fucking Reiji and revealing important details whenever it's convenient for him, and opening up a new can of worms with questions when we should start getting answers.
>Not enough time dedicated to building Rin as a decent character and expanding on her relationship with Yugo
>Duel was ok

The only thing that really stuck out was Rin winning but since we're not seeing her in the upcoming spoilers it's a bit worrisome how relevant she will truly be.
>>
Now all we need is for Ruri to shove him into the d-wheel and the sets complete oh wait..
>>
>>145344558
You'll be one day too, if you don't kill yourself first. Respect your elders.
>>
>>145343569
I am getting my hopes up too high praying that one of the ruris will stay evil even after removing the brainwashing, huh
>>
>>145344571
>Asuka

Holy shit no that would have been terrible, she's even more worthless than Kaito. She's done nothing and has no TIME to do anything.
>>
>>145344304
I find mind control to be a very cheap device to have conflict between good guys. A good conflict would be a disagreement between methodology or ideals. In this case, you're just captivated by "oh it doesn't matter because they only need to unbrainwash and everything will be daijobu" so that the gravitas is drained.

On top of that, both Yugo and Rin have barely had any screentime at all, and their relationship is only fleshed out in a very superficial manner. We haven't had enough screentime of them together (or even separately) to sympathize emotionally. The result is apathy.
>>
>>145344789
She's dueling in September for sure. She's getting more support in Raging Tempest.
>>
>>145344813
The result is me laughing my ass off as Yugo gets fucking rekt and left for dead by his waifu who did the same thing
>>
>>145344813
>disagreement between methodology or ideals
oh like crow and yuyas egao vs food right anon?
>>
>>145344813
You could say the same thing with Shun and Ruri. They never had decent screen time together, and yet people will probably dick suck that episode.
>>
>>145344558
How the fuck is 31 old? How old are you, 14?
>>
>>145344891
More like the Crow vs Shinji duel that was about Violent Revolution at all cost, compared to Crow who wanted peaceful change that doesn't hurt the innocents who happen to benefit from the system.

That duel got skipped though.
>>
>>145344966
22, actually.
>>
>>145344813
I would disagree with the assessment that we haven't had enough screentime to sympathize with Yugo. A lot of his character and most of his interactions were centered around her and I felt the actual weight of it was well established in the Selena duel when he was constantly misplaying and daydreaming about Rin, only to get his shit together when he reflected upon the lessons Rin gave him during their time together.

As an extension of that and his frantic search for her before and after, I felt this ep worked very well.
>>
>>145345015
>Crow vs Shinji
I know I skipped a few episodes of synchro, but did these two actually duel?
>>
>>145344939
I guess it comes down to the fact Shun is more well liked than Yugo, so more people care about him and thus, about Ruri.
Most people who really enjoyed this episode either like Yugo or have a boner for mind control.
>>
>>145344939
Are you trying to imply people are being hypocritical about something that hasn't even happened yet?
>>
>>145345089
During the last parts of Synchro, during the riot, Crow comes across a crying Tops kid who's parents were probably murdered by revolutionary.

Crow tells Shinji that perhaps being violent isn't the best solution, REEEEE ensues, then Crow wins a 3v1 offscreen.
>>
>>145343557
>the moment he hears about Ruri he starts screaming her name and running off to find her

Is there a more dedicated person than this man?
>>
>>145345122
The point is, Shun and Ruri have yet to interact together outside of flashbacks. No matter how hard they try to make the duel feel powerful, it wouldn't feel genuine at all.
>>
>>145345018
I'm 23. Anon, well be over 30 before you realize it, and then you'll realize being called and old fuck is not so funny anymore.

>>145345101
I think the flashbacks have fleshed out the Yugo-Rin relationship well enough, it's not all that different from Yuya and Yuzu's. And Shun is imoutoman, from everything he has done so far you can tell how much he cares about Ruri, I don't think the relationship needs any real fleshing out.

The difference is Yuya and Yuzu interacted enough times to show that their relationship is an important factor of the show. The other two have been nothing but flashbacks. Sure, Shun and Yugo may seem dedicated but we aren't able to understand the feelings of Rin and Ruri outside of flashbacks, since they're brainwashed and emotionless, it just kills the mood.
>>
>>145345372
Of course the relationship has only been shown through flashbacks, by the time arc-v starts shit has already hit the fan and Ruri and Rin have been kidnapped. Reuniting with them has been Shun and Yugo's goal all along throghout the series. We don't know all that much about Rin or Ruri, but we don't need to, all we need to know is that they're people that their friends care a lot about and now that after who knows how long they finally reunite, they're brainwashed. It's not about Rin or Ruri, it's Yugo and Shun's darkest hour.
>>
>>145345550
dude just shut up. Arc-v ruined itself with shilling over character interaction and development and is now trying to tug at non existent heart strings by padding the show out with duels between characters who weren't fucking characters until they got brainwashed and characters who got either rushed development or just became running gags in the massive absence of their screentime and godly winning streaks. Yuya vs Yuzu barely has enough for an interesting duel either due to how we Yuya vastly outclasses Yuzu's deck thanks to all the extra deck monsters he packs and from what it looks like, in 2 weeks he's going to get one more.
>>
>>145345357
I honestly would want a Yuya/Yuzu tag duel to a Yuya vs Yuzu duel.
>>
>>145345706
>Yuya vastly outclasses Yuzu's deck

Have you forgotten the support Rin received from Fusion? It isn't far off to say, Yuzu would get the same treatment.
>>
>>145344891
Yeah, because bickering back and forth pointlessly makes for a great conflict, too.

>>145345172
He doesn't win; Shun interrupts and they all egao thanks to Yuya vs. Jack.

>>145344939
I agree. The only difference is that Shun has had sort of a semi-half-decent character arc, so people care about him. Ruri, unfortunately is nothing more than a plot device with a really good design. I expect nothing from Shun vs. Ruri.

>>145345052
Consider the fact he only got three proper duels in his own dimension, and the only one that was truly relevant was vs. Serena since it developed her character. His whole dream of winning the Friendship Cup was tossed away and he was relegated to doing fuck all afterwards. And while we're talking about Yugo vs. Serena, I really feel that duel was more about Serena's own character development, not Yugo's.

>Stop having opinions that conflict with mine
Fuck off with that line of thinking please. Also, neither Shun or Yugo got "rushed" development. Shun got understated development and while Yugo might be played as a joke, his relationship with Rin and its emotional effect upon him is fairly well established.
>>
>>145345859
>His dream of winning was tossed away and he was relegated to doing fuck all
He tossed his own dream away in order to pursue Yuri at the first chance he had. That alone well establishes his feelings towards her in a similar fashion to Yuya tossing away smile world for Yuzu's happiness.

>Yugo vs Serena was more about Serena
In this case, I'd argue the first half was purely Yugo focused, considering the constant Rin flashbacks. Second half was Serena focused, certainly.

Mind control can be effective when done right. Prime example is Yugi vs Jonouchi. The proper foreshadowing was already there in the beginning of BC when Malik was able to take control of people's minds with his Millennium Rod so it was no surprise when Anzu and Jonouchi could be considered potential targets. Malik purposefully brainwashed them because he knew Yugi would come looking for them but also to attack Atem for stealing away his childhood (the pain he had to undergo for his ritual and the inability to experience a fun childhood) so his reasons are justified in trying to steal Yugi/Atem's happiness by endangering their friends. The relationship between Jonouchi and Yugi was also built up since the beginning too and they went through many struggles together so it felt more meaningful as we saw Yugi desperately try to get him back to his senses, this was elevated to an even higher level when it was Yugi and not Atem since Atem isn't even good friends with Jonouchi that much.

Arc-V has foreshadowed the brainwashing but it still comes off as cheap as we don't have a clue what Leo's aim is other than using all 4 Bracelet Girls for some arbitrary reason. He could just lock them in towers with tons of guards if he wanted to. Furthermore, the relationship between Rin and Yugo is nowhere near as developed as Yugi and Jonouchi so it doesn't hit home as much either. Brainwashing works when done under the right conditions.
>>
>>145346083
I meant how he was just thrown away by the plot and made irrelevant.
>>
>>145347012
DM had the advantage of it not being a tired cliche to the extent that it is now, but that aside, there are degrees of quality, and as you said, it was done much more effectively in Jonouchi's case than with the Ruris.

Still, it's most compelling when characters are driven by their own motivations, else they just seem like pawns rather than relatable individuals.
>>
>Yugo got rekt
Dreams do come true
>>
>>145347254
It's still a better use of this cliche than Yu-Gi-Oh did in a long time.

At this point a mind control episode or sub-plot is something to expect from the franchise, so I'm happy it's being given time and seemingly plot relevance instead of being tacked on for one episode to just mark a x in the Yu-Gi-Oh cliche checklist.
>>
>>145347278
If only they had programmed Rin to card him.
>>
>>145348048
I think that the fact that revival zero was introduced in this episode and that Rin was ordered not to card Yugo was not a coincidence.
>>
>>145348264
>Yus can't be carded for Revival Zero
Yeah. Makes sense. But they could at least take him into custody.
>>
>>145330309
Still too sexist and just as bad as Ono
>>
>>145348264
The fact that Rin was ordered to not card Yugo in spite of Edo claiming earlier that there's some unseen de-carding device at the base makes Edo's claim feel somewhat suspect, and I wonder if it was just a sweet lie to keep Edo from questioning his orders too much.
>>
>>145348048
I think infested!Rin left him so that he gets nommed by Yuya and is one step closer to implementing Revival Zero.

I think that Yuya is going to have to be the one to eventually take on all of the infested bracelet girls. He has all of the summoning methods and probably a way to defeat the fusions they now have.
>>
>>145348313
They still might, just not have Rin be the one that takes him. Or maybe they want him to lie trashed there so Yuya can get close and nom him.

>>145348353
I watched the Edo duel episodes without subs and missed this bit, exactly in what context did Edo say that carding was reversible?
>>
>>145348421
112 when they're talking at the resistance base.
>>
>>145348353
The uncarding is probably a lie to give the Academia students a clear conscious while going on a murder spree.
>>
>>145348313
They've probably sent Yuri over to do it.

Pls stop using the word infested. It sounds lewd for some reason and does things to my dick.

Not really. 5ds part II is literally unwatchable, arc-v can get cringy and stupid, but at least it's funny in its badness.
>>
>>145348649
>5ds part II is literally unwatchable
The only part of part 2 thats solid shit is the pre WRPG filler section. The rest is pretty decent with only a few big lows (End your turn Jean, most of Crashtown etc.)
>>
>>145348649
Agreed. Arc-V at its worst is somewhat rough. But, it doesn't come anywhere close to approaching the character destroying monotonous bullshit of 5Ds part 2.
>>
>>145348754
>> pre WRPG filler section

Yeah, wasn't able to get past that.
>>
>>145348754
Destroying Yusei, Jack, and Aki's respective characterizations from part 1 honestly does too much damage for me to give it a pass, personally. Arc Cradle is genuinely a good arc aside the wasted potential of Z-ONE and Sherry getting fucked, but the rest is just too much of a struggle.

Well, no. It builds its characters. Its problem is that it doesn't FOCUS on their development so while does notably happen at a decent pace amidst other things going on, we largely lack the proper catharsis that would stem from focusing on said development.

They'd corner him and pump him dry in the first 2 weeks.

But they'd be begging for his dick and carrying his children.

Yuya is a bro, I'm sure he'd let the other Yuyas at the wheel when it's their Ruri's turn.

>>145343661
Relatively, it definitely was a much better watch than the recent string of lower than average to garbage episodes.

Some kind of cheap thrills now and then like a brainwashed bracelet girl taking out her man is probably the most I can viably ask for at this point. I've given up on expecting to feel that invested in anything that goes on.
>>
>>145349473
>Sexually frustrated Rin
The doujins write themselves.

Fuck, I could practically see Rin barging in and pulling Yuzu off him and tying her up in the corner mid-fuck in order to get her turn.
>>
>>145348915
I've never agreed that Part 2 destroys Yuseis part 1 characterization. A lot of his edge in part 1 stems from issues that were resolved; Jacks betrayal, Satellites state, Kyrius death etc. You see him loosening up more even late in part 1. They should have introduced more conflicts to shape his character into a more interesting state, but I dont see anything inconsistent with it
>>
>>145349776
I would personally still consider the episode great since I felt that the Rin/Yugo relationship, while not explored particularly in-depth was established well enough previously for me to truly care about their (and particularly Yugo's) plight on an emotional level. But, I can certainly see how someone might find it a bit lacking since it certainly fails to reach anywhere near the heights established by Yugi/Jounouchi. But then again, so does most of the franchise.
>>
>>145350041
It's just that Arc-V is bad at handling relationships. Like the only notable ones I have in mind are Yuya/Yuzu, Yugo/Rin and Shun/Ruri.
>>
>>145350003
The problem is not that Yusei stops being edgy, it's that he completely steals the show and becomes a mechasexual.
>>
>>145350131
>and Shun/Ruri
Ruri is a good motivation for Shun, but we know virtually nothing about how they interact and relate to each other
>>
>>145350003
How I see it is:

Part 1 established not necessarily that he was edgy. Part 1 Yusei was a bit standoffish based on the shit thrown his way all his life, but above all else he was very passionate. He acted stoic, but at his core he was intensely emotional and it was shown very vividly with how aggressive his plays were in duels like Yusei/Jack I. Hell, when his friends were held hostage by Goodwin, he outright assaulted three dudes and barged into Goodwin's room in anger.

Yusei in part 2 is understandably calmer due to things looking up, but it goes to the other extreme and makes him arguably too calm and arguably emotionless even when his friends are in danger. It dumbs down what was initially just the audience's first impression of him and ultimately warps his entire character around that impression for the entirety of part 2.

Thus, I can't really agree with you there.

Because it's not the point? Ruri has been kidnapped since before the series began, she's more of a plot device than a character. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. All we need to know about her is that reuniting with her is Shun's sole remaining motivation in life, his obsession, and that her brainwashing is going to hit him pretty hard. This isn't like the lancers being locked in separate rooms and depriving us from interaction, more Shun/Ruri interaction before her being rescued was never in the cards and this was obvious from the very beginning.
