Maybe blindly helping the yandere trillionaire for poorly defined Long Termism was a bad idea?

“Maybe blindly helping the yandere trillionaire for poorly defined Long Termism was a bad idea?”
Perhaps the funniest thing is that the yandere trillionaire wouldn’t be a trillionaire if That Guy hadn’t intervened and saved her Company. Also, even though that yandere had her own intentions, she was betrayed first despite having formed an alliance of trust.
Anyway, the yandere trillionaire was already in a depressive state since the end of Season 2 and was the one who benefited the most so far in Season 3.
Or if Yuamu hadn’t injected her with capital or cutting edge super tech.
Ep 135: cliffhanger reveal of Rush Ritual Monsters
Ep 136: the troll move of making the suspense even longer by “and lets cut to what the other group is doing”
This had better not be one of those “we don’t see how the rest of that fight goes and won’t find out the result until Yudias pulls it out as his ace during the next battle in the outside world” things.
we knew they where gonna show nothing. it was yuamu vs yuna we knew that for over a week even before the duel aired. and that wed get the contact fusion (shown in preview)
Everyone waiting impatiently for a more through reveal of Ritual monsters only to still have ourselves teased further by not showing anything. I guess we are gonna have to hold onto our boners for another week or more.
Broke: The end result of the Yudias vs Kuaidul will happen off screen.
Woke: The end result of the Yudias vs Kuaidul will be plot hook to Yu-Gi-Oh! 9 and will start being relevant like 1,5 seasons in.
The Darkmen got written off the show.
Kinda obvious this plan was gonna fall apart the moment “Otes” showed up but it took longer than I thought
To anyone who has/is watching Yu-Gi-Oh Sevens & Go Rush, how do those series compare to VRAINS and everything prior?
Could I expect more of the same or is everything post VRAINS’ meant for a different type of audience (i.e. I should lower my expectations)?

It definitively has better writing than whatever the hell was happening in VRAINS and Arc V but it’s also directed to slightly younger audience so some jokes and situations may be bit cringe for western viewers. Expect stuff on par with manga published in Coro Coro magazine, if this will help you xD
Both are aimed more at elementary schoolers and early middle schoolers due to branding reasons and the only remaining available time slots of Yu-Gi-Oh! are basically Saturday and Sunday morning cartoon slots, so this lends towards younger characters, jokes more aimed at kids (but can make older viewers laugh), and more surrealist writing, as the head writer and director have worked on children’s shows and the head writer IIRC has done very goofy kids humor. (This does not mean toilet humor)
SEVENS is generally more kid friendly but has probably one of the most tight plot scripts and “Use the whole hog” style of writing in the entire franchise, where basically every episode each cour contributes somewhat to the climatic Duel at the end of the arc, and unconnected plot threads and various seeming minor characters will end up being important to the climax.
And it is mostly trying to have a conversation about how Japan has basically left nothing to the young, and how the OCG’s complexity addiction has left Yu-Gi-Oh! with no way for younger fans to easily play it as it’s become more of a game of High Schoolers, NEETs and Office Workers. As well as fans and corporations and who owns things at the end of the day.
Go Rush!! is arguably less tight but has been fairly similar on few if any episodes are meaningless, the plot tends to move at a breakneck speed, and has used its plot to talk about the necessity of peace over violence, immigration, the dangers of long termism, and unhealthy coping mechanisms among other things.
I’d place them similar to GX and ZEXAL where early on it’s fairly goofy but once the plot doubles down, you get some interesting mysteries, darker stories, and the like, but the younger cast in both may be a turn off, and Duels are aggressively streamlined to avoid the VRAINS summon chain hells.
@Namesky & NeoArkadia- Thank you very much for taking the time to respond with your helpful insights, they are much appreciated 🙂
I can’t add much more than how NeoArkadia put it but I can vouch for both seasons being among my personal favorite YGO anime. Go Rush is also set in the same world as Sevens like how GX is to DM. You can enjoy it without having watched Sevens but you’ll miss a lot and season 2 of GR spoils and calls back to Sevens a lot.
@ Naransolongo_BB: Episode 135 basically throws into question if the show is in the same universe as SEVENS.
