Eiji Katsuragi - ONA: Dream Festival! R

[unfortunatelyilikebnha]

Ok now that I’m thinking abt it cfv cast social media headcanons if cfv was set a little closer to now than 2011:

Aichi: he has Instagram but mostly to follow Kai (who didn’t actually accept his follow request until like the end of season 1 lmao) and Misaki and all his other friends rather than out of a particular desire to post pictures himself. It’s a private account and he posts when the mood strikes him, with content wildly varying from like pictures with friends to cute animals to cool new vanguard cards to food that was particularly good. Has Snapchat because Kamui bugged him about it and mostly uses it for streaks (but he forgets a lot & kamui’s like BROTHER AICHIIIIIIII :( OUR STREAK :( ).

Kai: Instagram. It’s also a private account, and for a while he just had 2 followers (Ren and Tetsu), then after their fallout he blocked Ren and Tetsu but Miwa bugged him into accepting his request (though he didn’t really post during that time just used it to observe), then after s1 he finally accepted more of his friends’ follow requests. Eventually he starts posting food he made & ofc his favorite kagero units (& maybe his friends. Occasionally. He’s not big on writing captions though). I can also see him having a Twitter where people try to antagonize him & he roasts the shit out of them (Kamui is constantly in his mentions trying to start shit, at first out of genuine dislike - he gets blocked for a while because of this - but then just for fun. Kai still blocks him every so often, and/or occasionally plays along and snipes back with some rude comment, but it’s mostly to annoy him back rather than out of genuine malice. Mostly. He does enjoy being an asshole to Kamui though). Has Snapchat but pretty much only opens it when Aichi sends him something (Ren likes to send him a million snaps chronicling his whole day to annoy him so mostly he ignores the app).

Misaki: she’s a Pinterest girlie for sure. Very organized Pinterest boards with images that are always properly sourced. She also has Instagram (also a private acc) but she didn’t use it much before she met her card capital friends, now she uses it to keep tabs on Aichi and the others. She doesn’t really post pictures except on special occasions but she is an avid close friends story user, especially when she knows Kourin will see her posts (before s4? Or au where she doesn’t disappear I guess? Idk it’s my city & I’m already diverging from canon to say they have social media just roll with it). There’s also an official Card Capital Instagram, and when she becomes the store owner in G she doesn’t really run it but she has to approve the content that gets posted there. I can also see her having tumblr just bc of her “strange” sense of humor, like she’d be very anonymous about it and not put basically anything in her bio (MAYBE her name but maybe not even that, & possibly a fake name), but I can see her being fairly popular here.

Kamui: he’s too young for social media AND YET he has it anyways. Can frequently be found getting into fights on Twitter. He’s also a big Snapchat user and HATES when people leave him on read, or when someone’s about to break a streak. Very big on streaks in general, has insanely long ones with Reiji and Eiji. Also he definitely has tiktok and (he will deny this but) he’s jealous when anyone he knows has more followers than he does. How does Suzugamori Ren have that many followers anyways >:/? In G era he downloads Instagram because he heard that Emi did it.

Miwa: definitely a Reddit user (but like not in the derogatory way, he’s just fascinated by the site). He has a personal Instagram as well as a wildly popular other account dedicated to unflattering candid pictures of his friends (mostly Kai but Misaki Kamui and Morikawa are also frequent features, and, on one memorable occasion, Jun). Semi-popular on TikTok for being a sweet & funny guy and also for casually mentioning insane things that happened and never elaborating (“yeah sorry I was absent I got kidnapped because my dumbass friend wanted to play cards with a gang leader, that guy better be grateful”).

Reiji and Eiji: have the same social media Kamui does, and hype him up on it (/occasionally bemoan how lame he is) but also do their own things.

Morikawa: Tumblr user, fully believes the wizard blogs are real wizards. Gets anons from people like “I want to study you” all the time & he always misses the point and makes it into “the Morikawa vanguard school is always open to new students because I am the greatest teacher ever”. After meeting her, a lot of his posts start focusing on Kourin and his followers have an equivalent experience to when someone you’ve followed suddenly turns into a K-pop blog with absolutely no explanation. Kind of famous just because of how fucking weird he is. He also has Snapchat but is like really bad at taking pictures so everything he sends/posts is blurry or at a bad angle, but unironically. Had no interest in any other social media until he heard Kourin had Instagram and Twitter, at which point he downloaded them both and immediately started posting about her.

Izaki: Twitter user /derogatory (sorry Izaki but I know this in my heart to be true. He’s gotta have some red flags to have stayed friends with Morikawa this long). Also has Snapchat and tries (and fails) to help Morikawa take better pictures. Kamui frequently bullies him about losing their streak, which since they’re not actually that close is probably their main form of communication. Izaki’s not totally convinced that Kamui actually knows his NAME, so he’s confused about why he cares so much (it’s bc Kamui has a Snapchat streak with literally everyone he knows who 1. has Snapchat and 2. does streaks). Also possibly has an Instagram where he occasionally gets influxes of followers when he’s tagged in pictures with his more famous friends, but some of them probably don’t think he’s that interesting and soon unfollow (lmao rip)

Emi: does not have social media in the main series but gets an Instagram by G era (when Kamui finds this out he suddenly downloads Instagram even though he has never expressed an interest in it before, and thus so does Nagisa, somehow sensing what Kamui has done).

Nagisa: has Twitter only so she can follow Kamui (again, she is too young for Twitter). Kamui has her blocked but she can still somehow sense when someone’s arguing with him & she comes into their replies like “leave my man alone!!” I would not be surprised if she doxxed people tbh. She keeps getting banned but somehow every time she appeals it the ban is lifted (Kamui suspects dark magic). Also downloads Instagram in G era after Kamui does (how does she know he got it if he didn’t tell her??? She has her ways).

Kourin: has an official ultrarare Instagram and Twitter where she promotes her idol work, and also a private Instagram and Twitter where she posts pictures of her friends and nerds out about vanguard and thoroughly logically dismantles stupid people. Once she posted a stupid meme making fun of Kai on her official ultrarare Twitter instead of her personal one by accident and fully freaked out trying to take it down before the fans screenshotted it (she wasn’t successful bc idol fans are crazy and ended up saying she was hacked) (Kai will never admit it but he thought it was funny). She probably has Morikawa blocked on every platform.

Rekka: an instagram girlie FOR SURE. She posts often and sticks to a cutesy aesthetic, and is wildly popular. She’s also very into Snapchat, both in terms of doing streaks with people and live-blogging funny bits of her day on her story. Probably also spends a lot of time on Pinterest & has a lot of Pinterest boards for every situation.

Suiko: I’ll be real I have no idea. I feel like she either has no social media at all and just like guest appears on Kourin and Rekka’s, or has like official instagram/twitter accounts with tons of followers that she semi-maintains and weird shitposty anonymous accounts where she just posts whatever comes to her brain. Tbh I can see her stirring the pot so she can observe Kamui into getting into more twitter beef just to see what happens. Redditor??? She is a mystery to me.

Kenji: has Tumblr & like 60% of it is dedicated to Ancient Rome, 30% of it is about vanguard, and the last 10% is just him reblogging like feminist stuff and positive messages. A wife guy without actually having a wife or realizing he’s a wife guy (posts a lot about “his friend” - Yuri - bc he just thinks she’s neat, but his followers seem to think he’s in love with her for some reason???). Cries when people on tumblr celebrate the ides of March. Probably has been cancelled for unironically stanning Caesar. Also has an official Instagram but doesn’t post on there much, when he’s there he’s usually just there to like his friends’ posts and log back off. People are surprised by his lack of social media and have not connected his tumblr (where he stays completely anonymous thank you very much, he is Not a fan of the attention) to him, and are always begging him to post more on his Instagram/get more social media, but when Yuri and Gai bring this up hes like no <3 I will not <3

Yuri: she’s a YouTuber for sure & she has helpful videos on deck building, strategy, how to stay calm under pressure, etc. Occasionally she includes her teammates or people from other teams in her videos (Aichi featured in one once and now her fans regularly ask for him to come back lol). She also has an official Instagram and Twitter, and runs most of the official Team Caesar accounts on various platforms. Yuri and Misaki are tumblr mutuals, and she is aware of Koutei’s tumblr (bc they’re both in the vanguard tag a lot and who else would be THAT obsessed with Julius Caesar. She’s no fool, she recognized it was him instantly) but she thinks it’s funny to not tell him it’s her (+ she’s kind of embarrassed in a fond way/thinks he might be embarrassed about the posts abt her if he knew) so she just scrolls through his nice posts abt her when she’s having a bad day.

Gai: tiktok famous for generally being a chill dude who’s willing to answer your vanguard questions but mostly for posting Team Caesar behind the scenes videos, which range from Yuri being mad at one or both of them to them doing challenges/playing games together, to some of their movie star stuff in G, to one particularly memorable video where he just stared at the camera while Yuri and Koutei were being in love with each other and (at least in Koutei’s part) oblivious to it in the background.

Ren: pre-season 1 he had no social media except an Instagram account and a Snapchat, both of which he used to post an ongoing stream of whatever was in his brain so that Tetsu and Kai would see it. After The Breakup™️ he went private and posted a lot of stuff about revenge, and being stronger, etc (which was no use since Kai had him blocked and he was not popular pre-Asteroid era, so pretty much only tetsu saw his posts). Also he’s DEFINITELY a Reddit user lmao. Post-season 1 Asaka got him into tiktok which he immediately became famous on, he joined Twitter which had a preconception of him due to the way he acted during season 1 and so he gets cancelled every other week for a while (eventually they mostly get used to his new personality and the way he says the weirdest shit), and he rebooted his Instagram to be public and deleted most of the old revenge posts (he probably leaves one up just to cause controversy lmao). Often leaves Kyou on read on Snapchat, but whether that’s on purpose or an accident is anybody’s guess. Actually he probably would have tumblr too & be kinda infamous bc his personality would definitely make him popular here tbh. He runs a “official ren suzugamori” blog but he never acknowledges he’s on tumblr anywhere else and everyone thinks it’s just a fake parody blog.

Asaka: tiktok famous for being hot, on team asteroid, and if she’s feeling generous for answering people’s vanguard questions (with a special focus on the Pale Moon of course). Probably also has a sizable following on Instagram. Lords her amount of followers over Misaki who pretends she doesn’t care but early seasons Misaki was actually a little annoyed by this.

Kyou: had a Twitter. Keeps getting banned from Twitter and making new accounts and the cycle repeats. Doesn’t have a tiktok but is tiktok famous anyways for always appearing in team asteroid videos in the weirdest ways (disguised as a potted plant. Scaled the building and can be seen inaudibly yelling in the background through the window on the third floor of team asteroid headquarters. Parachuting down from an airplane. Etc). When people comment about him on Ren’s videos he’s always like “who?” “I don’t see him?” or “huh, that guy looks vaguely familiar…” and when people comment about him on Asaka’s videos she refuses to name him but always says something about how much she hates that guy. Has Snapchat but about half the cast either leaves him on opened/read or straight up has him blocked (he Does take really interesting pictures though, and it’s cool to see all the places he goes! How does he have the money for all this??? Nobody knows).

Tetsu: runs “official team asteroid” accounts, including a YouTube on which Ren is IMMENSELY popular despite not being the account owner. Known for being intimidating on Twitter, and also for (one-sided tbh) twitter beef with Kamui (who would @ him like HEY ASSHOLE ACKNOWLEDGE ME >:/ & Tetsu would just ignore him) in earlier canon. He doesn’t actually use any of his accounts that much besides the YouTube and to publish official updates about team asteroid, but - though he’ll never admit it - he’s a fan of terrible memes. He asked what Asaka was laughing at once and she showed him a vanguard meme (“I don’t know if you’ll get it though”) and he excused himself and went to another room to laugh (Asaka was like ???).

kamen rider REVIEW!!!

i was gonna do this on twitter but twitter is dead now. anyway i decided when i finished ryuki i would review every kr i’ve watched so far so here it is. no spoilers (i think) but it is fucking long. 

build - i can’t believe it’s been 5 years since i watched build… i miss her so bad every day… but also build had a lot things that i couldn’t stand. however the yaoi was really fucking good. also build is pretty strong overall despite it all. we need that energy back for kamen rider so bad but all they do now is try to sell toys. i really like sento as a protagonist because he’s so funny and quirky but also not like the usual kr protagonist who is stupid. i mean he is still stupid but in a different way. banjou is more like the protagonist type but he is actually just sento’s boyfriend. love wins. my thing about build is that i didnt care about kazumi or gentoku or katsuragi or any of the other men (evolt can stay #sexy). so sometimes i was sitting there like oh my god. enough. also the way they nerfed sawa and misora pissed me off. but that final episode hit hard enough that i forgave all the shit the last 10 or so episodes put me through. which is true of a lot of kamen riders like if they hit that ending it’s like all is forgiven baby!!! but anyway i love build. i miss her. i love her. 

ooo - i got so obsessed with ooo that 5 years ago i was in a college english class and they asked me what my favorite tv show was and i said kamen rider ooo. right there in front of everyone. ms. kobayashi really got me with that one! everyone has already said this but the relationship between ankh and eiji is so interesting both on a yaoi level and a psychological level… the human won’t let himself want anything and the monster whose existence is all about wanting things. and they’re in love. wow! the whole ooo cast is great though and i think it’s so cute that the actors still interact 10+ years later. i love hina so much… i love gotou and date and satonaka. i miss them. i’m sorry that ooo 10th was like that but i will forgive them. i guess. i think ooo’s one weakness is that the monster of the week episodes were kinda boring. like bro i don’t care about this guy getting back into wrestling what about ankh’s existential crisis!!!! but it’s ok we all have our flaws. i love you ooo. 

ex-aid - i THINK i watched ex-aid after ooo but honestly i don’t remember? wild that i went from ooo to ex-aid actually. ex-aid is a deeply controversial work because it sucks so bad but it’s also really fucking funny. but also sometimes it really is unwatchable like i tried to watch a couple of the first few episodes with eri and i was like this is horrible i’m being tortured but then when i think about parad i get hysterical. the duality of ex-aid. I think a lot of ex-aid is not very good. and yet it has something… some kind of power that makes me tell people to watch it and then they’re like this sucks and i’m like yeah! (this has happened 2 times.) but i do like ex-aid despite the fact that it’s really loud and annoying and the camera angles are weird and the belt noises are insufferable. it’s funny. i think the idea of gamer doctors fighting to the death(?) is hilarious. it definitely impacted me that’s for sure. there’ll never be another one like it… despite takahashi doing multiple krs since then (mistake). ex-aid is the demon that haunts me.

w - i think i’ve actually forgotten a good chunk of what actually happened in w but it was good. it was solid. philip and shotaro and akiko found family baby!!! and w made me tolerate a cop so that’s something. i really have nothing else to say here. ok actually w totally fell apart when it killed off the sonozakis and brought in that weird-ass doctor and that random villain who showed up at the end but philip and shotaro carried it… for me. and akiko of course she was everything to me. also again the final episode made me forgive everything because it was like they’re reunited!!! (sobbing and screaming and crying) 

fourze - for a while i didn’t hype up fourze that much because of the american high school aesthetic, which is actually really funny but not exactly my taste. but gentaro truly is a wonderful good boy. he loves his friends PERIOD. also ryusei was really funny because everyone else was like some kind of american teen drama trope (the goth girl, the jock, the cheerleader, etc.) and then there was ryusei who was like two-faced bitch alert! i love that. also kengo and gentaro were in love so there was #yaoi. that one episode where kengo was mad bc ryusei and gentaro were getting along and he was so jealous i cried. i would give anything for another kr as good as fourze tbh. 

den-o - when i first started kamen rider i was like i’m not watching that old shit (pre-neo heisei) but then i was like ok i will give den-o a chance because it was written by ms. kobayashi… and it was good. it was really fucking good. like there’s not a lot of crazy shit it’s mostly just funny shenanigans with the imagins and ryoutarou’s hard knock life but you still feel emotional about it all… ms. kobayashi’s genius. her range. even though the plot makes absolutely no fucking sense i think it’s fine. it’s about the feelings. the bonds. and also trains. 

ryuki - so after not watching kamen rider for 4-5 years i started watching ryuki with lain because they put it on tokushoutsu. and wow was i not prepared for whatever that was! i don’t think there is a way to prepare yourself for ryuki actually. but i will say that ms. kobayashi once again impacted me with her talent. her ability to create so many weird and mentally ill men… i’m obsessed. also i love shinji so much he is just an silly little dogboy who is being forced to confront the trolley problem and also fight to the death. why did she do all that to him? also why did she give kitaoka a beautiful and perfect malewife? why did she make asakura so sexy? why did she make tojo like that? why can’t ren be nice to shinji just a little? i have a lot of questions and no answers. there was never a dull moment with ryuki bc there was always some shit going on. every single guy was fascinating except the ones that were meant to be annoying as hell. and the ensemble cast of yui and ore journal and aunt sanako… love them. they are all so funny and iconic. i wish i could say more but i would spoil it. ms. kobayashi’s wild ride. as you can see ryuki has left me incoherent. i will not recover from what ryuki did to me. gen urobuchi you will never be her. 

blade - i started watching blade while also watching ryuki to prevent myself from looking up spoilers but it didn’t work. anyway the point is i watched all of blade while also watching ryuki with lain. it was interesting to watch them at the same time bc toward the end blade started copying ryuki so hard with the battle royale shit it was like ok girl i guess! blade is interesting bc a lot of krs have a strong start and then go off the fucking rails but blade is the opposite. it starts off like what the fuck is all this now then at the very end it’s like ohhh it’s about how the love was there all along. bring out the yaoi. i think at least 30 episodes of blade are complete nonsense like you will be sitting there like um okay i guess? but it’s worth it for the shakespearean gay tragedy of kenzaki/hajime. i can’t say i really liked mutsuki or tachibana but toward the end i started finding them really funny like i couldn’t really be mad because tachibana is so pathetic you just have to chuckle and mutuski has teenager disease. although it was tiring watching them both be assholes to their beautiful girlfriends for so long like ok can we get back to how in love kenzaki is with hajime PLEASE. but oh well. we can’t have everything!

if you actually read all of this thank you. i have so much to say and yet my brain is very small… i will continue making my poor quality videos to show my respect however. kamen rider the world.

Heart of the Vanguard Concept Chapter part 2

(Concept chapters are basically just to test to see if people will like a fic idea I have. This fic crosses over Yugioh Duel Monsters and Cardfight Vanguard.)

“Hello Aichi. It’s been awhile.”, Yami replied.

“Remember Aichi normal people can’t see Yugi’s little ghost friend.”, Misaki whispered.

“Oh! Yeah that’s right!”, Aichi replied, remembering.

“It’s fine I’m simply a observer.”, Yami replied, and Aichi nodded.

“Ghost? What?”, Emi questioned.

“It’s nothing, Emi.”, Aichi replied.

The two of them started a rock paper scissors. Aichi threw scissors and Yugi threw rock.

“Looks like you're going first.”, Aichi said and Yugi nodded.

As the duel started Yugi could feel an intensity from him. He could easily tell just how passionate he was just from his eyes alone.

Yugi

Hand: 6

“First, I summon Beformet allowing me to add Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts to my hand. I’ll activate Polymerization fusing together Berformet and Gazelle to summon Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast!”, Yugi started.

Chimera the Flying Mythical beast

ATK 2100/DEF 1800

Yugi

Hand: 3

“Woah, a fusion monster already! That’s not good.”, Emi commented, looking at her brother worriedly.

“That’s our Yugi!”, Honda said.

“I set one card facedown and end my turn.”, Yugi finished.

Yugi

Hand: 2

“A strong start as always.”, Aichi complimented.

“Let’s see if you can get through this.”, Yugi replied.

“We’ll see. I draw. I summon Noble Knight’s Companion Wingal.”, Aichi started.

Aichi

Hand: 5

Noble Knights’ Companion Wingal

( BEAST-WARRIOR / LIGHT / EFFECT/ ATK : 1400 / DEF : 1200 / LV 4

This monster is always treated as a warrior monster. You can tribute this monster to special summon a monster with “Blaster Blade” in its name from your deck or hand, this card becomes equipped to it and the equipped monster gains 400 attack. When this monster is in the graveyard you can equip this monster to one light warrior monster you control. When this monster is equipped to a “Noble Knight” monster it counts as a “Noble Arms” equip spell.

“That’s not good.”, Yugi commented.

“You remember Wingal’s effect don’t you. With his effect I tribute him to special summon Noble Knight Blaster Blade! Stand up my avatar!”, Aichi replied, searching his deck for Blaster Blade and placing it down.

Noble Knight Blaster Blade

( WARRIOR / LIGHT / EFFECT/ ATK : 2100 / DEF : 1500 / LV 5

Effect: When this monster is summoned or special summoned you can select one Noble Arms equip spell from your graveyard to equip to it. Once per turn, when this card is summoned or special summoned you can tribute one equip spell card you control to destroy one card your opponent controls.)

Yugi imagined the form of the silver knight clad in futuristic armor. He had piercing emerald green eyes and blue glowing lines on his armor. This was Aichi’s ace monster for a reason.

“And with his effect he equips himself to Blaster Blade from the graveyard and Blaster Blade gains 400 attack.”, Aichi continued.

Noble Knight Blaster Blade

ATK 2100->2500

“I equip Blaster Blade with Noble Arms Caliburn raising his attack by 500 and with its effect I gain 500 life points.”, Aichi continued.

Aichi

Hand: 4

Noble Knight Blaster Blade

ATK 2500->3000

Aichi LP 4000->4500

“Oh no! Now Blaster Blade is as strong as Blue Eyes!”, Anzu commented.

“Stronger it has a effect after all.”, Misaki replied, causing Anzu to turn to her.

Somewhere Kaiba felt more grumpy than usual, gripping the phone he was on a call with across the room. The phone shattered on impact, scaring his poor employees.

“Fire whoever designed that weak phone!”, Kaiba ordered.

“But they don’t work for you?”, an employee questioned.

“Then I’ll hire them so I can fire them!”, Kaiba replied angrily.

Back at Card Capital…

“I activate Blaster Blade’s effect tributing Caliburn to destroy your facedown card. Burst Buster!”, Aichi continued.

Blaster Blade ATK 3000 ->2500

Yugi sent the card to the graveyard revealing it to be Magic Cylinder.

“Why did he get rid of the bigger boost though?”, Honda questioned.

“Have you not learned anything about his deck from all his duels you’ve seen?”, Misaki questioned.

“I activate the effect of Caliburn. Once per turn when it’s destroyed I can re-equip it to a Noble Knight monster I control.”, Aichi continued.

“So, Blaster Blade?”, Honda questioned.

“Obviously. Not only that but he can reactivate its effect to gain more life points”, Misaki replied.

“You sure know a lot about Aichi’s deck.”, Anzu commented, sweat dropping.

“Well, he does duel here everyday and I have a perfect memory.”, Misaki pointed out.

“That’s true.”, Anzu replied.

“Yeah...that’s why Misaki always beats me when we duel. She knows everything I’m about to do like she’s reading my mind.”, Aichi said.

“I’m not reading your mind, you're just really straightforward.”, Misaki replied, causing Aichi to chuckle.

“Don’t take it too personally, Bro you're simply a man of culture. The strategy is attack, attack and attack again! Offense is where it’s at. ”, Kamui said to Aichi.

Aichi LP 4500->5000

“I set two cards face down and I attack Chimera with Blaster Blade!”, Aichi continued.

Aichi

Hand: 2

Yugi LP 4000->3100

“I activate Chimera’s effect allowing me to special summon Gazelle from the graveyard.”, Yugi said.

Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts

ATK 1500/DEF 1200

“I end my turn.”, Aichi replied.

“I draw, I activate Pot of Greed.”, Yugi started.

Yugi

Hand: 4

“I activate Ancient Rules to special summon Dark Magician from my hand.”, Yugi continued.

Dark Magician

ATK 2500/ DEF 2100

Yugi

Hand: 2

“I activate Thousand Knives, allowing me to destroy one monster on your field if I control a face up Dark Magician.”, Yugi continued.

Yugi

Hand: 1

“I don’t think so! I activate the effect of Morgan, the Enchantress of Avalon from my hand! With her effect if I control a Noble Knight monster and a Noble Arms spell I can tribute one to negate that effect.”, Aichi countered.

Aichi

Hand: 1

“That’s what I wanted you to do I activate One Shot Wand! Dark Magician gains 800 attack and I attack Blaster Blade! Dark Magic Attack!”, Yugi replied.

Yugi

Hand:0

Dark Magician

ATK 2500->3300

“That’s going to go through however before that I activate my trap! Until Noble Arms Are Needed Once Again which allows me to evacuate cards on the top of my deck equal to the number of Noble Arms equip spells I have on the field and add one then place the other in any order.”, Aichi replied.

Aichi

Hand: 2

He looked at the two cards on the top of his deck choosing one and placing the other on top of his deck.

Aichi LP 5000->4700

“Due to One Shot Wand’s effect it is destroyed and I draw one card. Then I attack you with Gazelle!”, Yugi declared.

Yugi

Hand: 1

“Alright.”, Aichi nodded.

Aichi LP 4700->3200

Yami narrowed his eyes.

“He’s planning something he could have activated the graveyard effect of his trap to avoid damage but he didn’t.”, Yami whispered.

“Yeah, I think you're right. I think he’s planning to summon ‘that card’.”, Yugi whispered.

“I end my turn.”, Yugi said.

“Alright, I draw. You know I never thought we would get to duel like this outside a big tournament.”, Aichi said.

Hand: 3

“Well, you're a good guy to spend time with outside them.”, Yugi replied.

“Gah! D-don’t say that! I’m not really great. I’m honored that you actually accepted my invitation.”, Aichi replied, blushing nervously.

“Don’t sell yourself too short. You really are a great friend besides honesty I was nervous to meet you at first too. I saw the last nationals Q4 was really impressive for newcomers.”, Yugi replied.

“Well...we lost though?”, Misaki questioned.

“Even still you got to make up for it in Battle City and I’m sure next time you’ll beat Team Asteroid at nationals!”, Yugi replied.

“You really have a lot of confidence in us. I understand Kai, Misaki, and Kamui but why me?”, Aichi questioned.

“Cause from what I saw your a great duelist who has a strong bond with your cards.”, Yugi replied.

Aichi looked very embarrassed with steam coming out of his ears and Emi tried to cool him down a bit.

“Aichi doesn’t take praise too well.”, Emi said.

“The poor guy looks like he’s about to explode.”, a kid with green hair and glasses said.

“Atb yo.”, a kid with brown hair and green eyes added.

“He’s just modest. Honestly, I prefer that to Jonouchi’s overconfidence.”, Anzu replied.

“I-I don’t deserve y-your praise. Your y-you know you.”, Aichi stuttered.

Yugi couldn’t help but feel a warm feeling at how much Aichi really seemed to admire him.

“Don’t tease him too much, Yugi. He might actually explode.”, Honda joked.

“No, I mean it. I think you're a really reliable guy and a good rival.”, Yugi replied.

“R-rival!? T-to y-“, Aichi stuttered as more steam came out of his ears.

“There he goes, I think you broke him, Yugi.”, Miwa joked.

“I-I summon N-noble Knight Drystan. I a-activate Wingal’s effect f-from the graveyard to e-equip him to one light warrior monster I control.”, Aichi continued stuttering nervously.

Noble Knight Drystan

ATK 1800/DEF 800

Aichi

Hand: 2

“D-Drystan’s effect activates w-when a Noble Arms spell is equipped to h-him I can t-target one face up card a-and destroy it. I chose Dark Magician.” Aichi continued still stuttering.

“I can’t stop that.”, Yugi replied, sending Dark Magician to the graveyard.

Aichi took some deep breaths trying to calm down.

“It can be rather cute how nervous he gets.”, Anzu teased, immediately causing Aichi to become a blushing mess again.

Thinking about old manga I used to love and reminisced on Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro... I’ve never met another person that read this ;o;

Sometimes a detective agency is a hell demon hungry for mysteries, a teenager that wants to solve crime but mostly eat a ton, a tired smoky cop and a corpses animated braid sticking out of the wall.... excellent.

Judai: ACE worried about Kanade and Asuma labelling himself as “onii-chan” (part 2)!

Kanade why are you so cute and precious?

Asuma too!

I dub these two as the cheerful, cute and precious duo! Lol!
