  “  I  SEE.. .. . How  about  a  simple  duel  then?  Allow  me  to  test  how  well  you  can  handle  what  is  to  come.  Surely  one  of  your  caliber  would  have  little  problems  passing.  “

"No, no i don't have any of those." Marin said calmly as she look at him

Arc-V Anniversary:  Day 15:  Headcanons

All right. Headcanons. Oh, do I have a lot of these and this isn't even close to an exhaustive list. Here we go. Enter at your own risk.

All Commons in the Synchro Dimension have their medical needs taken care of by the government. Not out of kindness, of course. To make sure that nothing from them finds its way to the Tops. Also, birth control is 250% mandatory for Commons. You need special permits & treatments to have biological offspring. (Because of this , there are actually more illegitimate kids born to Tops people, but they don't talk about that. Ever.)

Yuuri treats XYZ as his private hunting preserve when he is in between kidnapping bracelet girls. If anyone argues this, they get carded, and since only a Fusion person would raise an unexpected protest, said carding is blamed on the resistance. Oops, Yuuri totally wasn't there when it happened. Really.

Since the Fusion forces use the Antique Gear Hounds to track resistance members, the resistance insists everyone keep as clean as humanly possible. When this can't be done (clean water must be kept for drinking too & there's not as much clean water as there used to be), other measures must be taken. Among those is something Yuuto discovered by accident: he hid in an abandoned perfume store once and the Obelisk Force/Gear Hounds missed him entirely. Ever since he carries perfume to hide his trail & taught this to other resistance members. Shun keeps some on himself at all times, even after the war (habit by then).

Edo, Kaito, & Shun knew each other as tiny toddlers in the United World. Not enough to fully remember each other after 14 years and everything else, but they lived within a handful of streets of each other. They played in the same little park and were there together when the dimensional split hit.

Shun's parents took him to duels when he was still a small birb. On two separate occasions he met Zarc and Ray. They both liked him, and vice versa.

The Kurosaki parents died in the invasion. Not carded. Actual not coming back death.

While most of the resistance scarves are just found from whatever remains of clothing stores, Shun and Yuuto's scarves are handmade, by Ruri. Shun treasures his above all his possessions except his deck.

Shun and Reiji's scarves are both sentient and self-aware. Post-canon they mate and have two pairs of mittens. Reiji's scarf is also carnivorous.

Post-canon, Asuka works at You Show, as does Dennis. One day, Dennis happens to come in & sees her hugging a strange guy. He politely greets & asks if he can be introduced to her boyfriend. They both laugh: this isn't her boyfriend. This is her brother, Fubuki. He was running a secret resistance against Fusion during the war and has only recently been able to get back in touch with her. Other members of Fubuki's resistance include Marufuji Ryou, Marufuji Shou, Fujiwara Yuusuke, Saiou Takuma, Saiou Mizuchi, and other familiar faces from GX.

Yuugi, Juudai, & Yuusei do exist in Arc-V-verse, to a degree. Yuugi & Atemu live a quiet, peaceful life in Standard, never having gotten into competitive dueling. They just enjoy the fun aspects of it. Yuusei lives in Synchro/what was Synchro dimension with his boyfriend Bruno also happy. Juudai lives in an unknown dimension not connected to the original one or to the four summons dimensions. His home is in one of those places where Duel Monsters live. He also lives with Yubel and Johan, peacefully and happily, taking a lifetime off from having to save the world.

Yuuma doesn't exist. The events that would have led to his existence (i.e., the original war against Don Thousand) never happened.

The (not quite?) Barians do exist in Arc-V!Heartland, though. They do their best to fight Fusion. Vector set up an elaborate ruse to look as if he defected to Fusion, but got information that proved useful (he, in fact, made certain everyone in the resistance could card other people). Only Ryouga/Nasch ever knew/knows that he's not an actual traitor. They sort of are allied with Kaito's bunch but it's tenative and not as good as it could be. Also, there's a good chance they will encounter people from Fubuki's Resistance. Durbe and Yuusuke would get along famously.

Arc-V!Vector did use his position to persuade Arc-V!Mizael to sleep with him on multiple occasions. "Real nice resistance you got here. Be a shame if someone let on where they're hiding." Vector's gonna Vector. Mizael is gonna be pissed when he finds out.

Yuuri is a gardener/botanist and considers the laws of physics loose guidelines at best. He's invented demonc hellplants much like his Predaplants and some sex plants too. Post-canon he wants to go back to the Academia building and get his plants before they start eating more people. Yuugo considers this a Very Bad Idea.

Also post-canon, with four worlds mushed together, a service is set up so people can find their possessions that were lost in the reunification. This includes things like Yuugo's D-Wheel. Said D-Wheel ends up being recovered and repaired by Yoko and Crow.

Edo and Arc-V!Saiou don't meet until after canon. They would have met before then, but then the dimensions were split and Edo ended up in Fusion while Saiou grew up in Standard. After they meet, Saiou eventually learns to Synchro Summon & gets a D-Wheel of his very own.

Dennis is never sure if he trusts or is trusted enough to reveal he & Yuuri were best friends. It does eventually come out. Not everyone is thrilled. Some of them get over it, some don't.

Post canon, Rin (or Rin/Yuzu, whatever you wanna think of it as) meets Merag/Rio, and they become friends. In magic-based AUs, Merag teaches Rin ice magic.

Zarc's sadism was only encouraged by the people wanting more violence. It wasn't created by said encouragement. He could have chosen otherwise. He didn't. And the people could have not encouraged him. They did. The same goes for Yuuri. Some people are just born with tastes like that. How they choose to deal with it is their own decision.

I have a lot more headcanons, but those are some of my favorites.

Verse Comparison

Blog Canon Astral

Adheres reasonably closely to the anime.

Possesses the ability of both manga and anime canon combined.

Not aware of his powers and limitations.

A veteran of z e x a l’s legendary power. 

Parts of his souls remain unaccounted for but his memories have been restored.

Big Bad™ is former Astral now Barian God Don Thousand

Made as an emotionless weapon to defeat Don Thousand, obtain the numeron code and erase the Barian world. Would have been neutralized come the completion of his mission. Programmed by Astral World but altered by Kazuma.

Guess who didn’t complete their mission properly.

Loves Yuuma, the other half of his soul.

Manga canon Astral

manga spoilers ahoy.

Somewhat aware of his powers and limitations.

Has only ever reached the first form of Z e x a l. It was a power of legend that he’d never done before. Z e x a l is classified as a Number.

Spent a much shorter time on Earth than Anime canon.

Saw Yuuma’s ‘everything’. ( What is privacy )

Went to a theme park and it was great.

Shared Yuuma’s home with his family and Princess Cologne

Soul is whole and complete. 

In verse, a portion of it was returned to Earth to be reunited with Yuuma at the cost of memories and power. Kattobingu really gets you places. As well as contracts with mysterious doors.

Big Bad™ is deity of chaos E’rah; eater of hopes, dreams and galaxies.

He is Astral world’s desire to protect the balance. Made as an emotionless sacrifice to track down E’rah and seal her away within himself for all eternity. His body is doomed to float through space encased in stone.

He succeeded with his mission.

Loves Yuuma, the spirit of one of Astral world’s high priests that was sent to Earth long ago.

   :[  Anonymous  asked : Does Nova like vector at least?  ]:

   |  I’ll answer that by letting you know that rn in my sketchbook there is a drawing of an alternate ending, where Vector does his big betrayal speech and rather then don uno reverse carding him nova just drops down behind him with MURDER in his eyes and the ‘we’ll be right back’ meme plays  |

[forhope]

   “  A  trivial  inconvenience  for  one  so  skilled  as  yourself,  no?  You  are  faster  then  they  could  ever  hope  to  be  should  they  give  chase  and  regardless,  they  will  value  their  friend’s  safety  over  attacking  you..  “

   WAS. HE. QUESTIONING. HIM?                 It’s fine. He’s simply worried..

   “ I  merely  wish  them  to  be  out  of  the  picture  for  a  moment  is  all..  My  kin  must  be  reminded  of  a  critical  lesion,  and  I  cannot  have  the  child’s  little  heroic’s  getting  in  the  way.  Worry  not-  I  will  be  sure  you  get  to  have  fun  in  this  venture  as  well~  I  would  never  leave  you  out  of  a  battle.  “

"Of course...But may i ask why this sudden tast is being made?" He would go ahead and do as rquested but he'd like to know why it was so sudden. He floated forward still head tilted to look at the other number.

He had his own worries about this though. And he voices them in a curious yet worrying ask. "You..Realize Vector or even dare i suggest Nasch is still close to..Yuma?" His gaze lowering in respect but was ready for much more anger at that info in case Nova didn't know. "But as you have said,i will do my best at this."

devoted-souls​:

He senses a stare, turning to look directly at Nova before tilting his head away. “So it’s you…Not who i was expecting to see…” He turns as if not at all bothered by the appearance of the other. He might be friends with Elle but he was still a chaos seeking number.

   “  I  would  not  consider  ‘Expecting’  to  see  me  to  be  any  goal  a  sane  person  or  Number  wishes  for..  “  Nova  said  bluntly,  letting  his  arms  crossed  behind  his  back.  “  Has  this  sneaky  shadow  heard  much  in  the  ways  of  rumors  lately?  “

[forhope]

   “  THAT  KID?  A  FRIEND???  YOU’D  BE  MORE  LIKELY  T-  “

   The  Barian  didnt  get  to  finish  his  sentence,  a  clawed  fist  clocking  him  right  on  the  side  of  the  head  and  sending  him  to  the  ground.  The  hand  gripped  onto  his  arm,  tugging  it  up  without  even  a  huff.

   “  What  A  Nuisance ....  “

   :[  Anonymous asked:  So hi Nova! I hope you don't mind the sudden question. What's your plan then that clearly better than Vector's? Can you give us details or hints since you saved Vector from being killed..  ]:

   “  Now  WHY  would  I  EVER  say  my  plans  to  a  no-faced  Stranger?  “

[forhope]

   Too  close  for  comfort.... 

[forhope]

   “  If  council  may  be  offered...  attempting  a  direct  attack  on  the  components  of  Zexal  would  be  unwise,  even  for  him.  Their  bond  has  allowed  Zexal  to  reach  its  true  strength,  a  strength  even  The  Will  of  Astral  World  pales  to..  It  is  best  to  play  the  cards  in  hand  with  caution,  and  take  head  of  the  risks  on  the  board  rather  then  throw  them  all  onto  the  field  at  once.  “

   :[ Anonymous asked : Pros and cons to dating nova? ]:

   PROS  :

  Warrior boyfriend who will /never/ stray and has the utmost loyalty and devotion to your relationship overshadowed in importance only by his loyalty to his master and even then, for you he will keep small secrets and shield you from the worst of the chaos gods wrath should you slip. Nova is the most methodic, calculated, devoted and Loyal partner you could ever hope for. . .. . HOWEVER-

   CONS ... 

   Still Very Much Not A Good Person even if he is a good partner, has killed and will kill again, and if you break that carefully built up trust after he’s finally begun to trust and love you- YOU will be his next kill. Nova does not love lightly, he does not Bond lightly, to put yourself in the role of his lover is to hold enough emotional weight to rival the man who gives his life Meaning. Turn that near over possessive level of attachment into a betrayal and there will be no explanations, no second chances, and no mercy..
