Remember, this was a strong player using Kai's deck, and if Morikawa got a single critical trigger, Aichi would've been screwed. So if Kai used his deck he probably would've gotten at least one Critical and would've beaten Aichi, shame he got reversed and never realized this.
When you face Morikawa, and think: Oh, this is going to be an easy win. For a Final Boss, it’s going to be a cakewalk. Then you hear boss music and think: what is this ominous feeling!? It shouldn’t be coming from him... oh crap.
Imagine, for a moment, that Aichi didn't transfer to Miyagi Academy, and went to Hisui High instead. He'd be on the Vanguard team instead of Kamui, and Kamui would be a reserve member. MIsaki wouldn't change her routine and help at the store. Kourin would have to choose a different club, as would Naoki, since Shingo seemed to be okay as we didn't hear anything about him before he challenged Naoki to join the Club. Kourin, while Reversed, would have conquered the school, including Naoki AND Shingo at the same time. Rekka wouldn't have been opposed by Kamui, allowing her to reverse Emi and her friend, along with the Jr. High School. Kai would be able to cardfight Aichi multiple times, and thus never feel so inferior that he would fall to the void so easily. Misaki may have fallen to the void, which would tip off Aichi, Kamui, and Kai. So yeah, things would have been WAY different if Aichi didn't go to Miyagi Academy.
@@danielallen4450 she wouldn’t have to be. It’d just be that she’d be forced into a corner to fight and then lose to a Reversed Fighter, maybe Kourin herself.
@@RedDragonForce2 And who would Link Joker use to reverse fighters elsewhere, like Kenji if he didn't get his claws into Kai? Besides, I don't think Aichi being around would have prevented Kai falling, considering what pushed him over the edge was feeling inadequate when he saw Aichi and Ren playing each other, which presumably would have still occured
I actually don't mind their rerun system Also, they kept the openings and endings, so if you just wanted to watch it one episode at a time. You still can
@@TheobaldLeonhart The reruns are of lower quality tho and you can really see it in the way a lot of the frames stutter. The og one also didn't have 30 sec ads in between things so it's a smoother watch. Honestly still irked they erased the originals from YT even 3 years later
27:51 Morikawa: But Aichi don't forget you're facing a master. I can win with any clan for I am a genius! Me: Oh yeah? If you're such a genius how come you can't ever construct a decent deck. I mean how is a guy who is that good of a player, is terrible at deck building.
Watching the fight between aichi and morikawa again made me notice something. Why did aichi nullify the first attack from DOTE? He's still at 3 damage and Dauntless' break ride can only be activated if the vg did not stand after the attack. So even if aichi let the first attack through, he'd only be at 4 damage and morikawa will then activate Dauntless' break ride effect to stand and that's when aichi should've nullified the attack so that DOTE couldn't stand up using it's persona blast
You're gonna see a lot of misplays this season. This season was one of the best, probably on par with the first season, but it is definitely the most inconsistent. I actually noticed the same misplay during this rewatch, and if my memory serves correct, I'm going to see a lot of inconsistent hand cards and missed drive checks.
@@dnsl4176 true, but this one really caught my eye while rewatching the season. What could've redeemed the season was if they swapped the opening into "break your spell" from episode 126 onwards
You’ve watched Morikawa for months. You’ve known for a while that Morikawa’s weakness is a love of Grade 3s and that filters into his deck construction. You certainly took notice when he took first place at a non-team placement tournament with only one Gold Rutile in a balanced deck made by Shin. He’s a great player, with horrible deck construction mindset. Though I doubt he’d beat you in a head-to-head that easily.
39:34 umm Kai are we watching the same game? Aichi didn’t have to guard the last two DOTE attacks cause he started from 3 dmg lol and DO was only 11k power
bro the gact that morikawa can play with a deck randomly given to him to push aichi to the edge is just isane...this just shows the potential morikawa has
Very funny that Kai has used the loser as a test subject to switch the guy’s crappy deck with Kais old deck and clan to test Aichi strength in a cardfight.
Am I the only one that hates Shingo's attitude towards Naoki? Naoki may be new but he stood toe to toe against Kai while Shingo can barely touch Miwa just because Miwa is unknown but still continues to berate Naoki for being a newbie, especially when Naoki has more notable wins and far closer losses with high tier players than Shingo. If Shingo wasn't as arrogant and as much of a smart@ss, he'd have at least a good few more wins.
The show must go ON! I have never settled for mediocrity as an acceptable standard; And neither should you. Day 145 of waiting for the return of DaiKaiZer; the standard of excellence.
@20:38 Troll response... Aichi: One, you wouldn’t’ve believed me if I told you. Two: There’s a reason everyone here knows him minus you, Naoki, and the Council Jerk (HEY!!). And three: It was worth a second loss just to see that look on your face.
In short-she had the g0,1 and 2 in soul,as well as the reride giving her an extra soul,the g2 artemis on hit skill,giving her 4,and the g1 boosting her vanguard near the end where she sc3. That's in total 11 soul,but artemis skill refunds soul charges 1 from hand,meaning she loses 2 soul from the skill,she had the soul for iwanagahimes skill
@41:08 Bit of a miscalculation. Gancelot should be stronger here. 11K base 10K Break Ride 6K Support 5K Extra power from Support due to Break Ride 2K for Vanguard Skill 4K for Rear Guard Support Skill ______ 38K Not 33K. Just saying.
Still super dumb aichi didn't nullify the second the end attack instead so he couldn't do it 3 times, just so they could show off him standing 3 times, and yet everyone acts like he was playing amazing
Because he is an incredible player, this is clear when one sees the complete series until the end. Make dumb mistakes or lose from time to time is good writing that keeps the MC from becoming OP. It is also a way of showing that Morikawa is a good player but his mallet is the problem.
