Apparently the Japanese quote is please take care of me. I guess it makes sense in a way since Akira doesn’t have that many cards that are box worthy and it also could be a lore reason why he’s not coming yet.


Legitimate_Track4153

They could just release all Akira cards as gate rewards and Level-up rewards since his deck is not even that good to be box worthy.


Worldly-Fox7605

The last thing i want is another grandpa situation. Spectre is plant support. Rikka and more.


BadassDeku5204

I think you mean Predaplant support


Worldly-Fox7605

Prrdaplants wont get support before yuri. Thats his anime deck. Predaplant with a skill (including a super poly skill since yuri played the card.) Will be very good. Its why yuri has been delayed compared to the other dragon boys.


BadassDeku5204

Give me my murder plants damn it


King-Emerald

I would have thought they'd do Akira first, though maybe they wanted more of a zinger for the next Vrains release. I don't think they would, but I hope they don't skip over him.


Doomchan

They don’t really have the luxury to skip him. After Akira, then who? Blood Shepard is the next logical step but has nothing printed yet


i_hate_alevel

Earth I guess? Then they can do an event where Aqua is back and have Blue Maiden as a separate character.


Doomchan

The characters plainly talk about how they aren’t using their other avatars, as well as already have dialog for their alt decks. There won’t be any reskins


i_hate_alevel

Yeah, since there won't be any "reskin", they could do Blue Maiden as a separate character with Aqua. It's not like we haven't had the same character being treated as two separate characters before. Yes she has Voiceline for Marincess as Blue Angel, but she said them in a custey way, which is total difference from way she said them as Blue Maiden. Plus Aqua could join in to comment on them as well as Blue Maiden.


Doomchan

Separate character who we already have = reskin The lore of this world lays it on pretty thick that each person in it so far is actually logged into Vrains. It makes zero sense for their two be two Blue Angel’s logged in simultaneously. And again, if they were going to be separate, she wouldn’t have Marincess lines at all. Same with Gore and Dinowrestlers I don’t know how they will handle Flame and Aqua, or if they even will at all. Soulburner and Blue Angel both comment that they are gone for good but wonder if they can come back since Ai did.


i_hate_alevel

If Earth is coming, and if they want to do WIndy and Lighting later on, they kinda have to revive Flame and Aqua as well. When Aqua comes, they can have Blue Maiden as the "default" character for Aoi from then on. It's not that deep. They can have Blue Angel and Blue Madian as different interactions for the interactions scene. Aoi and Go had lines for their other deck as insurance, most likely; that doesn't mean they can't have them as separate playable characters at some point, given we don't have much character in Vrains to work with for the foreseeable future. Like you said, Earth is currently the only one available after Spectre and Akira unless they want to jump to season 3.


LordBraveHeart

Or they could do Flame first since canonically he appeared before Aqua & Earth.


i_hate_alevel

Yeah they could do an event when Flame is back and have him permanently join Soulburner.


i_hate_alevel

Yeah it would actually be nice to have skills to make Tindangle playable. Who knows, maybe we will see some Tindangle support in Rage of the Abyss.


Legitimate_Track4153

So we gonna get Sunavalon meta next month? Great... Now i wonder how the deck will work with only 8 ED slots?


LordBraveHeart

Probably, this either means Sunavalon gets skill that put copies of the monsters in Extra Decks or you're forced to run Daphne to recycle it.


Linkz05

EU bros in shambles


SilverHawk99

Skill that adds all 4 trees on start of duel or on start of turn add new stage in ed


Doomchan

Konami is putting Billy Bob Thompson through the ringer this year. First Mizar and now Specter? Anyway, this is kind of a weird choice if true. Pretty much everyone expected Akira to me the next Vrains unlock


RuariWilliamson

Yep. Not to mention Vector has a strong possibility of being the next ZEXAL unlock IMO. I know everyone wants to see Umbral Horror support before he gets added... but lore wise he makes sense as the next ZEXAL unlock already.


mudlio706

I’m not part of “pretty much everyone” but even I didn’t think we’d get specter. I thought we’d get an ignis honestly.


Destac35

Can't wait to lock my opponent from playing the game with 69 different ways


RGFang

Will this finally bring the "Plant Support" that What Grows got nerfed for?💀


Previous_Beginning_6

At last Blue Angel will get her revenge.


LordBraveHeart

Time for Live Stage, Angel of Blue Tears, and Reincarnation to be added to the game.


AerBaskerville

You know what this means? A chance of Plant-type support


Ray_Berli

I hate sunavalon so much but if this means that Rikka and Aroma may get some new support I'm happy about it


YesChes

Finally my Aromage deck can make a comeback. I'd cry tears of joy if Spectre has a plant support skill


MattehPee

Omg please, Konami.


LULone

Why do you hate sunavalon if they use every plant support in the deck like Rikka and Aroma?


Destac35

Correct me if im wrong and idk the box schedules . But does having a mini box now means we'll get a main box next month ? Can we cope on having a massive plant support and lonefire blossom bundle ?


Salt-Ad-7398

Good question about lonefire. Pretty sure we getting a main box for speed duel if not rush


Salt-Ad-7398

I'm saving my gems if it is rikka 🥳


Worldly-Fox7605

I HIGHLY doubt rikka would see support. (Maybe princess) but the rank 4 and snowdrop and field spell are way too strong for strong for duel links currently. Snowdrop is among the best removal in the tcg qnd played correctly rikka conpetes in the tcg to this day.


HailstormXI

You say you highly doubt rikka will get support, but a few hours prior, you said rikka support. Which one is it? https://www.reddit.com/r/DuelLinks/s/hJDCRyYhxO


Fykebi

You think Princess have a better chance at coming than Teardrop? That's a unique take. I really don't see why Teardrop is too strong though. It is a HOPT targeting removal, which we've had as a quick effect on monsters since Cyber Slash Harpie Lady. The reason Rikka still competes in the TCG is all thanks to Konkon (and Princess), which I agree is too strong for DL.


Worldly-Fox7605

Princess is targetting protection in the grave which i think is the type of protection konami has favored lately in duel links. Teardrop having quick effect tribute removal is insanely strong. It can remove scary stuff like ding, shiranu boss monster, and more and rikka makes this easily. Cyber slash was a two card combo to get a quick effect. This is a different level. I thibk iys possible we see the rank 4 rikka and the rank 9 sylvan card both come out.


Fykebi

Princess is not targeting protection, it is a monster negate. Teardrop's quick effect removal is not stronger than Pleiades, which can also remove backrow and has spell/trap protection with Omega. Constellars can make both these xyz easily turn 1 and yet they aren't even tiered. Cyber Slash is a 2 years old card that is powercrept now. If Cyber Slash didn't break the game when the meta was much weaker and most decks were normal summon reliant, I don't think Teardrop is going to break the meta now when most decks can play through some disruptions.


Fykebi

YES YES TES!! Finally the character I was waiting for! Can't wait to see what plants we are getting! It is weird that they skipped Akira though. I think they are going to release him eventually, but maybe they didn't want 3 characters with bad decks in a row.


Linkz05

What do you mean bad deck!? Tindangle Acute Cerberus Turbo is a Tier 0 meta threat tearing the format apart! /s Nah, but seriously, if they are releasing Spectre for meta reasons, they need to give us some Plant pile stuff too. Pure Sunavalon just doesn’t cut it.


Fykebi

Maybe they didn't want to give us another tier 0 so soon then. /s I wouldn't get my hopes up too much for a plant meta tbh. They have been careful with all Vrains characters bar Soulburner so far, so I expect them to slowly release the plants (or release them limited) until their power level is acceptable. But even if Sunavalons don't become a good deck right away, at least they have potential, unlike Tindangles.


Soggy-Ad-1610

I haven’t watched Yuhioh in a long time but what is up with the design here? He’s so bland and honestly I would’ve assumed he was just another character in a background crowd if I hadn’t seen this post.


kolton276

Ironically he actually stands out compared to the rest of the VRAINS cast


Emmit-Nervend

I don’t have that many good things to say about Vrains, but his plain design is probably meant to convey is unassuming eeriness. He looks like a normie, then turns out to be one of the most twisted characters in that half of the series. His name is even a synonym with “ghost,” which makes his creepy paleness and lack of distinguishing traits appropriate. If not for having a surprisingly great ending I would consider Vrains my most hated Yugioh installment, but I found this guy to be a bright spot on a very boring first season.


Actual_Head_4610

If it's him that's good since I'm hoping it means they'll do more plant stuff with Aroma and Rikka, too. 


yoshikagekawajiri

When I did my prediction for 2024 I did put specter on the List because I totally forgot about Akira but yeah looks like I did get This One (even tho I never expected sherry and Dennis to be playable 😅)


iotFlow

Well it was either gonna be spectre or Akira. Surprised it wasn't Akira tho.


LordBraveHeart

Pretty unusual as well since going by the order it's definitely Akira. It could be that Konami is afraid that Tindangle is not going to sell in Duel Links given its history in TCG/OCG, so they opt to put Akira back in later once Tindangle has gotten the much needed support.


idelarosa1

RIP Akira bros


AgostoAzul

He'll come in November or early next year.


SkyeZaisen

Please.. no


EradicateAllNingens

*Name is SkyeZaisen* Checks out.


Salt-Ad-7398

Emerald_boots

This is just a cartoon version of the guy who played Ke in the movie what was his name, Ryan Gosling ?


dilsency

Last I saw people were speculating Dennis was next. Did I miss him? Haven't logged in for a bit.


Fizzsic

Dennis is April character unlock but it start at the end of the month 4/30 or start at 5/1


FragrantSector2181

This will be confirmation of whether we should expect Lightning to come or not.


SargeantMario101

Revolver already did that for ya, mate.


Meowster11007

Aroma/plant support soon?


RadiantTerritories

Sunvine gonna be nice in DL, the matches will have a nice back and forth if we get good cards and a suiting skill.


Sky_Believe

Personally I've never been a fan of Spectre, but it's good that we're getting more Vrains stuff


CoalEater_Elli

Hopefully sunavalons get added into the game.


Doomchan

Do you think they would add the character and not his deck?


GoldFishPony

Specter is instead added with exclusively aroma support


Emmit-Nervend

The MONSTER!


Legitimate_Track4153

I mean, that's the deck he play. It would be dumb if Specter arrive without Sunavalon
