⋆ maybe im js poor but man kaiba is so generous

⋆ he provided each duel academy student with their own phone tablet thingies, uniforms, duel disks and prolly whatever else they may or may not need at that island

⋆ also not even gonna argue im 100% sure kaiba's too rich for them to have paid for any of that themselves

Bakura Headcanons/Ramblings 👻

Hehehe remember however long ago when I was like yeah I’ll make a post abt my own personalized Bakura, yeah well this is the post I am not accepting criticism for what I say is FACT

- So just as a refresher my Bakura uses they/them/ghost/rot pronouns mhm mhm 🫡

- Methinks to fit along with the creepy n unsettling vibe rot has, they need to be taller

- 5’9 is not enough my ghost boy is now 6’2

- I need them to loom over majority of people

- Anyways Bakura most definitely is the leader of some underground cult and won’t admit it but with all the things they’re able to do it makes you think otherwise 😭

- “Hey remember how you lost your ring in the river, so turns out with all the constant movement in the water it ended up in the ground and I had someone get it they drowned but it’s okay and now I have it, so here you go 🥰”

- Bakura’s home would get that boy ARRESTED

-not that what’s in there is necessarily illegal,,, but it’s definitely concerning

- there’s like taxidermy and like medical preservation jars and ngl their house smells like straight canned ASS

- They say the smell of death is distinct and you’ll know it when you smell it,,,, well let’s just say you’re gonna be on high alert in ghosts home

- speaking of smells, me thinks Bakura doesn’t smell bad per se, but they smell,,, clean…? Like… that sterile smell that hospitals have, that’s Bakura

- they have a pet crow and snake

- The Crow is named Nevermore and the snake is Apep

- speaking of which I think Bakura would love Edgar Allen Poe

- which is why rot named the crow Nevermore

- anyways Bakura would be the worst person to go to if you need to vent

- Yugi: Yeah yknow im just really sick of Kaiba undermining and belittling me it kinda hurts…

- Bakura: Want me to slip cyanide into his next meal? I’m running low but I think it’s going to a good cause

- Yugi: n O‼️

- remember how I said how the stuff in their house wasn’t necessarily illegal,,,

-yeah I change my mind

- Bakura definitely owns some chemicals that the average person shouldn’t have,,,

- sure some poisons or general chemicals are okay and legal to own in small amounts, but with Bakura interesting hobbies, it’s not a small amount

- on some Jeffrey dahmer shit ngl ghost is like chemically removing all the meat n shit off animal bones

- They display the bones in different part of their house

- It’s not Even like, oh that’s a huge sign of a future serial killer, it’s truly just morbid curiosity with Bakura 😭

- Not that Bakura isn’t necessarily capable of it 👀

- “I didn’t kill Kaiba. The cyanide killed him, I just placed it in his food”

- I dunno why Kaiba is the victim in this list 😭

- I think that’s enough for now this list is long 😭😭

Looking at the previous ARC-V episodes in the light of the latter half of 5D's, it makes sense why they felt the need to constantly split up the gang.

By S1, the bulk of the cast could fend off against Academia's probing mission, by S2's end they toppled down the Security in Synchro, which itself defeated the bulk of Academia's probing mission, by the end of Xyz arc they convinced an entire occupation force to defect with less than half of the cast. Of course we all know what happens at the end of S3.

Granted, the power creep in ARC-V is not as intense as 5D's until the final Duels, we don't go from Zushin (which is comparable to Exodia), to three Aesirs at once, though that makes the difficulty spike of the final Duels more apparent.

OK so I know duels are *meant* to be the less destructive alternative here but... are.. are they REALLY?- isn't this like handing your kid an actual weapon and going "play with this instead please :)"

LOL should've tried literally ANY other game. Chess doesn't cause genocide...

Y'know, in my Day 3 prompt, I said that the later designs of Melodious Monsters have become more normal and less exotic, mostly in skintones and accessories they wear over their bodies and heads.

And then there's this patootie.

Score straight up looks like someone from Space Channel 5. Her head has an aqua bobcut on top and purple clips that all look like a headset. Complete with antennae on top. Her lowe dress looks like it can stick to the ground, and she has a THIRD layer of dress, a teal curly one behind her white dress.

She straight up looks alien and she's sending me. Frickin' Space Disco vibes.

It took us forever, but we have new Gimmick Puppet for IV/Quattrro.

This new batch features a Level 4 monster based off the operator of Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder, and two Xyz monsters based off Thomas Arclight himself, one of being its CXyz variant.

The card artwork of the Trap Card also features Antidote Nurse, so it will likely get printed in the future, though probably not in this year's Animation Chronicle 2024.

So, let’s do Ruri’s name.

Ruri’s name in Kanji is 黒咲 瑠璃, Kurosaki Ruri. Kurosaki means Obsidian, and Ruri means lapis lazuli (or just the azure color), but can also be used as:

common name for various blue thrushes (birds) in family Muscicapidae, such as the 大瑠璃 (ōruri, “blue and white flycatcher, Cyanoptila cyanomelana”) or 小瑠璃 (koruri, “Siberian blue robin, Larvivora cyane, syn. Luscinia cyane”)

This explains Ensemblue Robin, though that card is obviously based off the males of the various such species.

But.

黒咲, isn’t Kurosaki. It is a combination of 黒, kuro, black, and 咲, saki, blossom. So, Kurosaki siblings’ name isn’t obsidian, but black blossom.

The Kanji 瑠, ru, can also be read as ruri as its own, it means precious gem, or lapis lazuli specifically. The Kanji, 璃, ri, means glassy, but can also mean lapis lazuli. Ri sound also alludes to Kotori Mizuki, though her Kanji name is different (観月小鳥, Moon-viewing Little Bird). 

I’m guessing the naming here is mostly for the color, but the previous gem meaning is probably a reference to Merag from ZEXAL being a Rock Alien.

The “black blossom” here likely refers to 黒百合, kuroyuri, Fritillaria camschatcensis, from Japanese language of flowers. It means love, or curse. The Kanji 百合, yuri, means lily, but it can also be read as yuugo, Fusion (hence the pun being Yuri’s name, and its connection to Yugo). Black blossom can also refer to black rose in European language of flowers, which means death. This is because the Kanji 璃, ri, can also be read as Aki, as in Aki Izayoi.

Shun’s name is 黒咲 隼, Kurosaki Shun. 隼, shun, can also be read as hayabusa, and means falcon, though it is generally used for peregrine falcon specifically.

“Falcon” here likely refers to Stalin’s Falcons, given Shun’s Communist theming, but due to the spirit theming going on with Ruri, and Yuto, it might also be referring to ka in Egyptian Religion, the origin of Duel Monsters. In European, and Asian symbolism, falcons generally represent nobility, which is ironic in Shun’s case, until you release before being a full blown revolutionary due to interdimensional, Shun was basically a upper class nobleman, forced to take arms, eventually liking the idea of overthrowing the system that fed him.

*****

Bonus round:

Yuto’s name is ユート, which can be pronounced as Yuuto, but the official romanization of Ute is more correct, though Uto might be the most correct romanization in the following context. Proper Katakana spelling is ユウト, the reason why ARC-V went with this alternate spelling is because of the Katakana spelling of ユートピア, Utopia, which is the localized name of Number 39: King of Hope, Hope, which is used in the Japanese name of.Hyper Rank-Up-Magic Utopiforce (ハイパーランクアップマジック－ユートピア・フォース/HRUM－ユートピア・フォース). So this specific (mis)spelling alludes Yuma.

Since there is no Kanji here, we have to speculate:

**The “to” part in Yuto can mean person (人), which is used Seto Kaiba’s Japanese name, but can also mean to fly (翔), alluding to En Birds, and Yuma’s Pegasus theming, or (斗), Big Dipper, alluding to Barians, and Xyz Summoning in general. 

The Kanji 人, can also mean another person, or humanity in general among other things.

It can also allude to phantoms (fantomu), ghosts (gosto), or spirits (supirito), but also knights (naito), and night (again, naito). Since the “ya” part in Yuya’s name can be read as night, this means Yuto would be another way of saying Yuya.

So, Yuto would be just another Yuya, more associated with En Birds, knights, phantoms, and Xyz Summoning. Well, this describes him well enough.

“to” can also mean “and”, so I guess Yuya and another Yuya meaning can be gleamed.

“to” is also repeating sound in both Shun, and Ruri’s Decks.

****

I don’t why Yuto, and Ruri’s names, much like their Decks, specifically allude to Yuma, and Kotori, since other pairs don’t specifically allude to their past counterparts. This might be due to the fact that ZEXAL was the most recent series, thus the most fresh one on people’s memories at the time of ARC-V’s airing.

Another reason might be Konami themselves, who constantly pair up Yuya with other “red” protags, ie. Yuma, and Judai, due to their obvious parallels (hence why many promos feature them together, consider for example Hope Magician). But it is pretty obvious Katsumi Ono, the director of ARC-V, wanted to Yuya to eventually develop into a middle ground between Yugi, and Yusei, instead of being stuck as the deconstruction of Judai, which Ono likely intended to be merely the starting point of Yuya (and as a middle finger to GX fans like me who left the franchise during the 5D’s era). This did not materialize (because of the show’s internal troubles), and I’m very skeptical about Konami getting Ono’s original vision.

Of course this also makes me wonder what would a Ono-directed ZEXAL look like. Here’s a free reboot idea for you Konami.

Other Link Monsters currently banned in OCG are:

**Crystron Halqifibrax

**Guardragon Agarpain

**Guardragon Elpy

**Spright Elf

**Topologic Gumblar Dragon

**Knightmare Goblin

**Knightmare Mermaid

**Predaplant Verte Anaconda

**Union Carrier

**Linkross

Most of these except Anaconda needs to be updated to the current text format, so they might get an errata that also does that, and debuffs them.
