Duel Links/ Yu-Gi-Oh Theory:

Yusaku's Homura Arc (Edited 3/3/24)

@Spoilers for Madoka Magica Rebellion Movie and Vrains anime@

Am I the only one who believes Yusaku will go through a Homura Akemi arc in Duel Links? When I think about it, their arcs may not be close but the similarities are there in terms of their situations.

-Both Lost someone they hold dear to save the world from destruction.

-Both characters suffer a case of trauma in their past they're trying to resolve, only to relive a new trauma in the present losing that special someone and they're never coming back.

-Both characters want to change, to move on from the loss of someone they hold dear keeping their promise, but at some point will start questioning their motivation to wanting to keep that promise developing an inner conflict and turning them into an antagonist.

The problem is we still don't know what happened to Yusaku after the 6 month time skip when he found out Ai 2.0 was resurrected through the digital cloud system of Duel Links. Maybe they'll explain it more in future Vrain World stories, to get to know Yusaku's inner conflicts, but I doubt it.

Yusaku is the only protagonist so far that was left with a bittersweet if not bad ending, with a weird uplifting open-ended finale in the anime and Duel Links story. And now that Duel Links exists, foes from the past will defiantly resurrect from the digital grave and will come after Yusaku to harm Ai due to his existence as an Ignis.

Yusaku going down the route Homura went through in the Rebellion movie is something that CAN happen.

Both characters want to save their only friend from a fate worse than death, yet refuse to move on not wanting to bear that much regret. Whereas Homura wants nothing more than to make her friends turn against her to become the villain of her story to keep Madoka safe, Yusaku has his friends trying to help him, getting into duels to stop him. His friends keep him from going down the path of despair.

Now chances are Yusaku might get himself together at one point in time, but that's not the case, at least from how the circumstances that led to Yusaku down this path. Yusaku has been through some crazy conflicts with someone getting hurt or nearly erased from existence. Let alone how it affects him mentally.

-His past trauma in the Lost Incident

-Losing all of his closest friends and allies during the war with Boman and Lighting.

-The never-ending conflict of A.I. at war with humanity with seemingly no conclusion as to how both groups will cooperate for peace.

-And the final nail in the coffin, the death of Ai and Ai's plan to save Yusaku from that non-conclusive future of a.i. and humanity at war with no clear winner.

Yusaku will soon realize that he'll take matters into his own hands. Yusaku will only end up becoming a demon, a devil, to the point he would have to betray his friends and Ai to become their enemy if means protecting the one person he cares so much.

Let's not forget that Yusaku has Link sense. An ability that I doubt they will bring back to how lackluster its powers work only to connect plot threads, but it clearly shows that Yusaku has a psychic link between the real world and the cyber world through this power that he could most certainly use against the dream cloud system to intact his plans moving forward.

Yusaku would become a HUGE threat to Duel Links. No amount of heart of the cards is going to change his mind from his goals, but I could see the other Yugioh protagonists trying to help him at one point to save him from going down this path of despair. Or at least have a.i. come to his senses. And by doing so, yusaku will need to forgive himself for what happened in season 2 and let go of past Ai to accept the new Ai.
