If RDA is any indication (or even the Neo Blue-Eyes stuff), could just be a simple add-on to the original form's name. I would say Neo Galaxy-Eyes, but that already exists for the Rank 8 form. Probably some galaxy pun at the beginning or end of original Photon Dragon (Scarlight Scarlet / Scar-Red [see Nova Dragon]).

[spoiler=96/97 and Stuff?] 10 points for evilfusion for guessing Yuya gets a Synchro Pendulum. I was wondering when he'd get another. At this point, some clear cut answers about Yuya's Pendant would also be nice. Seems connected to 4 Dragons/Bracelets/Yu Boys, or so I thought before Enlightenment Paladin and Nirvana. Assuming the Pendent produced them. Now I can't tell when it does anymore.

 

[spoiler=.]Last time I checked, I was the first one who guessed it.

 

 

I have a feeling RDA Tyrant will be printed as "Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend" in TCG because of how Scarlight was renamed.

 

I'd love to see more Galaxy-Eyes monsters. I wonder if Kaito's new ace will have anti-support for Special Summoned monsters.

I would think that new Galaxy-Eyes will be able to deal with ALL Special Summoned monsters in some shape or form (given the circumstances at present, it cannot be locked to a particular card type if it's going to be good).

 

But yeah, more Galaxy/Photon stuff is nice (if only because Kaito was cool and his Deck could use a revamping with the power creep since his time).

 

----

Then again, more HEROs off of Phoenix will be great too (whenever they show his AU artwork and more info on when he'll appear).

It'll be a small price to pay for its RL application, but at least you can probably still go into other stuff with it (or we get an alternate version of 62 / Neo GEPD that'll work with it). Probably the latter.

 

Anyway, I'll leave the links up (should be up in an hour/half if they upload on time, but otherwise you'll get another link besides the GoGoAnime one)

Don't know if it's old news, but April 3rd will be a 1-hour thing; either will be two episodes to finish up Synchro or something else. Wikia has it as the former though (probably might be it, considering that we're getting the leaks of Asuka/Kaito by now).

[spoiler episode 97]

- Soooooo good to see a double tune again, even if it was a bit lacking in BURNING SOUL

- was.... was that the crimson dragon during RDA tyrant's summoning sequence?! o_o

- Nirvana high paladin hasn't done a whole lot yet, but it looks like it's doing more next time, so it's all good

- that flashback to the Shuzo and Yuya episode caught me off guard. that feels like so long ago now.

- Sora and Tsukikage have Yuzu!

- Looks like the entire city is rallying behind Yuya and Jack next time. Can't wait.

[spoiler=Script 97]Last Time’s Egao Count: 125

 

JACK: I activate Red Daemon’s Dragon Scarlight’s effect!

Once per turn, it can destroy all monsters with ATKs equal to or lower than its ATK!

ABSOLUTE POWER FLAME!

 

Duel Chasers: AAAAHHH!

 

JACK: And then, it can inflict 500 damage for every destroyed monster!

 

Melissa: Jack destroyed 17 monsters!

 

Melissa: 500 times 17 is…

8500!?

 

Frank: Yuya!

 

Tanner: Even Yuya is knocked out as well!?

 

Amanda: No…

 

Gongenzaka: No, Yuya is…

 

Yuya: I activate the Action Magic, Acceleration, and negate the damage!

 

Melissa: Yuya is safe!

He escaped by a hair’s breadth!

 

3 Kids: All right!

Thank goodness.

 

Tokumatsu: Well, that was pretty nerve-wrecking.

 

Captain Falcon: It’s still too soon to celebrate.

 

JACK: You won’t be able to get away just by avoiding the effect!

Battle! Go!

Red Daemon’s Dragon Scarlight!

Attack Sakaki Yuya directly!

FIERY CRIMSON HELL BURNING!

 

Melissa: Jack is not showing any mercy at all!

 

Yuya: I activate the Action Magic, Damage Draw,

When the battle damage I receive is 2000 or above,

I can draw two cards!

 

JACK: Hmph! Trying to hang on to dear life, huh?

But don’t think that you can accomplish anything with randomly drawn cards!

I set one card facedown and end my turn!

 

Melissa: Jack is making it pretty clear that even if it’s the Director of the Public Security Maintenance Bureau, he won’t let him interrupt the final match.

 

Jean-Michel: Shut up!

What is it!?

 

Security Officer: Director, we have an unexpected situation!

Some Duelists, who seem to be the Lancers, have broken into our headquarters,

And are engaging in combat with the guards!

 

Jean-Michel: What!?

 

Sora: I attack Goyo Defender with Death-Toy Mad Chimera!

 

Tsukikage: I attack Goyo Predator with Twilight Ninja Shogun – Getsuga!

 

Sora: Even when their friends are OTK’ed, they won’t back down at all.

 

Tsukikage: It’s because they have no emotion.

I’m sure Roger must have brainwashed them, and they are now under his control.

 

Sora: In order to save Yuzu…

 

Tsukikage: We have to release them from their brainwashing first.

 

(Opening Sequence)

 

Melissa: Even though he took huge damage, Yuya still managed to survive somehow!

 

Melissa: But what is he going to do?

It’s your turn!

 

Yuya: I’ve always been trying my best to make Dad’s Dueling my own.

 

JACK: Don’t speak with borrowed words!

If you want to speak with me,

Speak with your own words,

And your own Dueling!

 

Yuya: I believe that Dad’s Entertainment Dueling is the best kind of Dueling there is…

 

JACK: What’s wrong!?

You’re planning to keep chasing after your father in your dream?

If you’ve lost your will to fight,

Then just surrender and get out of my sight!

Can you really Duel while you’re only half awake!?

 

Yuya: I won’t ever surrender!

 

Yuya: If I run away here, it would mean rejecting Dad’s Dueling.

Right now, I have to try my best and do whatever I can!

 

Yuya: It’s my turn!

 

Yuya: Using the Pendulum Scale I already set,

I Pendulum Summon!

Be revived from the Extra Deck, Timesword Magician!

Likewise, Entermate Radish Horse!

Then, from my hand, I normal summon Tuning Magician!

 

Sam: Tuning Magician?

 

Yuya: When this card is successfully summoned,

My opponent gains 400 life points,

And I receive 400 damage!

 

Yuya: When my opponent gains life points,

I can Special Summon Entermate Life Swordsman from my hand!

 

Yuya: The ATK of this card will be the same as the amount of life points my opponent gained!

Furthermore, with the effect of the 500 ATK Radish Horse,

I can lower Red Daemon’s Dragon Scarlight’s ATK by 500,

And increase Life Swordsman’s ATK by the same amount!

 

Yuya: Jack! You said that I haven’t grown at all!

Not ever since I lost to you on the eve of the tournament.

However, through your card, which was entrusted to me by Sam…

Through Tuning Magician, I was able to learn the summoning method of this dimension!

 

JACK: Then show me.

Whether you are worthy to stand before the King

With the power that you’ve obtained!

 

Yuya: I’m tuning the Level-4 Radish Horse and the Level-3 Timesword Magician with the Level-1 Tuning Magician!

Hero’s blade that radiates with an indomitable light!

Awaken right now in a flash of light!

Synchro Summon!

Come forth! Level-8!

The Enlightened Swordmage,

Enlightenment Paladin!

 

Sam: It taught me that no card is useless…

Yuya-san’s Synchro Monster…

 

Yuya: Through Enlightenment Paladin’s effect,

I add the Magic Card, Smile World, from my graveyard to my hand! (Egao Count: 125+1=126)

 

Yuya: I’m grateful to you for granting me a Synchro Monster.

But I won’t reject Dad’s Dueling!

Ever!

 

JACK: Hmph!

 

Yuya: By releasing the 900 ATK Life Swordsman,

I can add its ATK to Enlightenment Paladin’s ATK, until the End Phase!

 

Yuya: Battle!

I attack Red Daemon’s Dragon Scarlight with Enlightenment Paladin!

 

JACK: Trap, activate! Red Crystal!

Red monsters won’t be destroyed this turn!

 

Melissa: Though he took damage, he was able to protect his symbol, Red Daemon!

This is…This is the King’s Dueling!

 

Yuya: Damn it!

I end my turn!

At this moment, Radish Horse’s monster effect ends,

And Red Daemon’s ATK returns to normal.

Enlightenment Paladin’s ATK, which was increased by Life Swordsman, also returns to normal.

 

SAWATARI-SAN: Jack is as tough as I expected.

 

GONGENZAKA: His father’s Dueling is rejected,

And the Synchro Monster he summoned with Jack’s card is repelled as well.

What will you do next? Yuya?

 

Yuya: In the end, Tuning Magician is something I borrowed as well.

What am I supposed to do? My own Dueling…

 

JACK: Hmph!

Your enlightenment is a joke!

The only thing you can do is kneeling before the King!

It’s my turn!

 

JACK: Using Red Daemon’s effect,

I can destroy all Special Summoned monsters with ATKs equal to or lower than 3000!

ABSOLUTE POWER FLAME!

 

Yuya: I activate the Pendulum Effect of Entermate Bubbulldog!

By destroying it,

I can negate card destruction effects!

 

Melissa: Yuya protected his monster!

 

JACK: In that case, battle!

I attack Enlightenment Paladin with Red Daemon’s Dragon Scarlight!

FIERY CRIMSON HELL BURNING!

 

Yuya: I activate the Pendulum Effect of Entermate Rubber Mutton!

Once per turn, it can negate destruction by battle!

 

JACK: But you’ll still take damage!

 

Melissa: Yuya has a mere 100 Life left!

 

JACK: I set one card facedown and end my turn!

Hmph! So you managed to protect yourself through Pendulum Effects.

It’ll be good if you can turn that into your breakthrough somehow.

 

Security: AAAAHHH!

 

Tsukikage: Worry not.

I only strike with the back of my sword.

 

Sora: No doubt about it.

This is the hub of the control system!

 

Tsukikage: Magic Card, Fire Release Technique!

 

Yuzu: The alarm?

Could it be that the rioting Commons are here as well…?

 

Jean-Michel: What are you doing!?

Hurry up and capture the intruders!

We have way more people than them!

 

Security Officer: But the command of every squad is in disarray!

Their actions have become disorganized!

 

Jean-Michel: It can’t be…

Did they destroy the control system!?

 

Security 1: Ah! What was I doing?

 

Security 2: Where am I?

 

Commons 1: Get them!

 

Commons 2: Let’s crush them!

 

Melissa: While we are preoccupied with Jack and Yuya’s fierce battle,

In the city, the Commons are beginning to overpower Security!

 

Melissa: Hey! Everyone, stop that and focus on these two’s Duel!

 

Reiji: At this rate, the Commons’ riot will escalate.

All you Lancers shall accompany me.

 

Frank: Are you planning to fight the Commons?

 

Tanner: Even Crow and Shinji!?

 

Amanda: Please don’t do it!

 

SAWATARI-SAN: Don’t worry.

Even if we are strong,

We’re not going to suppress them through brute force.

 

GONGENZAKA: We’re going to stop the fighting.

 

Reira: That’s why we came here.

And not just for the City.

We’re going to stop conflicts in every dimension!

 

Amanda: Reira!

 

Reira: Right now, Yuya is trying his best to make everyone smile through Dueling. (Egao Count: 126+1=127)

 

Reira: I want you to keep an eye on this battle.

Our battle to bring peace to the world…

 

Tokumatsu: Seems like they could be the saviors of this City.

 

3-kids: Saviors?

 

Tokumatsu: Let’s watch closely…and see what the future of our City and this world will be.

 

{Chess Commercial. Brb}

 

JACK: Hmph! So you managed to protect yourself through Pendulum Effects.

It’ll be good if you can turn that into your breakthrough somehow.

 

Yuya: Pendulum can become my breakthrough…

 

Shuzo: As the first person who opened the door known as Pendulum Summoning,

You have to be an example for those who’ll follow after you!

 

Yuya: That’s right!

I’m the first person who performed a Pendulum Summon!

I did not borrow Pendulum Summoning from anyone.

My own words…

Ah!

I’ve found them, Jack! My own words!

 

JACK: Then, shout these words out, and show me your own Dueling!

 

Yuya: It’s my turn!

Using the Rubber Mutton in my Pendulum Zone, and Xiangke Magician,

I set the Pendulum Scale!

With this, I can simultaneously summon Level-2 monsters!

Swing, Pendulum of the soul!

Draw an arc of light across the ether!

Pendulum Summon!

Come forth!

Entermate Cheermole!

 

Yuya: Just wait. It won’t be long.

 

Yuya: I’m tuning the Level-2 Cheermole with the Level-8 Enlightenment Paladin!

 

JACK: What!? Enlightenment Paladin is not a tuner!

 

Yuya: By releasing a Pendulum Monster that has been Pendulum Summoned,

And a Synchro Monster, I can Synchro Summon this monster!

 

JACK: Say what!?

 

Yuya: From beyond tranquil time…

Illuminate the whole world with your light!

Be revived!

Synchro Summon!

Come forth! Level-10!

The supreme swordmage that has attained Nirvana!

Nirvana High Paladin!

 

JACK: OOOHH!

 

Melissa: Wow!

After Pendulum Summoning,

Yuya managed to Synchro Summon without a tuner!

 

JACK: Interesting.

You truly are interesting, Sakaki Yuya!

 

Yuya: I attack Red Daemon’s Dragon Scarlight with Nirvana High Paladin!

TRUTH SUKHAVATI! (Basically, it’s Sanskrit for “Wikipedia it”)

 

JACK: Continuous Trap, King Scarlet, activate!

It negate the destruction of Red Daemon’s Dragon Scarlight,

And I can also Special Summon King Scarlet and treat it as a tuner monster!

 

Melissa: This is another surprise!

Jack managed to negate the destruction,

And Special Summon his Trap Card, treating it as a tuner monster!

 

Yuya: I end my turn here.

 

Frank: Both Yuya and Jack…

 

Tanner: …are so awesome!

 

Amanda: There’s so much back-and-forth!

 

Tokumatsu: This is going to be a close fight for sure.

 

Tops: As expected of the final match.

 

Commons: We can’t take our eyes off this!

 

JACK: Looks like you’ve begun to speak…

With your own words.

Then, I’ll answer with my own Dueling!

 

Yuya: Jack!

 

JACK: It’s my turn!

I summon the tuner monster, Mirror Resonator!

 

Yuya: He has two tuner monsters!

 

Melissa: Next up, the King will…

Whoa!

There’s no road ahead of the King!

 

Yuya: Jack!

 

JACK: I will forge my own road!

Listen to the throbbing of my soul!

Can you feel it? Can you feel the vigor of my life!?

Behold!

This is my Dueling!

 

JACK: The roar of a monarch,

Insatiable in his search for challenges!

 

Melissa: He jumped!

 

JACK: I’m double tuning the Level-8 Red Daemon’s Dragon Scarlight with the Level-1 King Scarlet and Mirror Resonator!

 

Yuya: Double tuning!?

 

3-Kids: For real!?

 

JACK: The king and the devil shall now merge together!

Feel the soul of the Crimson Dragon,

And let out a war cry that shakes all creation!

Synchro Summon!

Come forth! Level-10!

Red Daemon's Dragon Tyrant!

 

Melissa: Jack’s symbol has been power-upped through double tuning!

 

Commons: That’s awesome, Jack!

 

Tops: This is the King’s power.

 

Sam: Jack still continues to evolve.

 

Tokumatsu: For him, being the Duel King probably doesn’t mean he’s at the top.

 

Sam: Eh?

 

Tokumatsu: While he may seem arrogant,

It might have been because he is irritated that there is no one to help him rise further.

But looks like he finally found one.

 

JACK: I activate Red Daemon's Dragon Tyrant’s effect!

Once per turn, it can destroy every card besides itself!

ABSOLUTE POWER INFERNO!

 

Melissa: Every card…

Then even the Pendulum Cards!?

 

Yuya: At this moment, Nirvana High Paladin’s monster effect is activated!

When this card is destroyed, I can set it into the Pendulum Zone.

 

JACK: Battle!

I attack directly with Red Daemon's Dragon Tyrant!

INFERNAL CRIMSON HELL TIDE!

 

Yuya: Action Magic, Evasion, activate!

I can negate that attack!

 

JACK: When Tyrant attacks,

It can negate the activation of a Magic Card, and destroy it!

And then, its ATK is increased by 500 points!

 

Yuya: When the activation of a Magic Card is negated,

I can Special Summon Acrobat Magician from my hand in defense position!

 

JACK: Then I attack Acrobat Magician with Red Daemon's Dragon Tyrant!

 

Yuya: When Acrobat Magician is destroyed, I can set it into the Pendulum Zone with its effect!

 

JACK: Hmph! I guess this is all within your expectations, huh?

I set one card facedown, and end my turn!

 

Yuya: No, nothing is within my expectations.

I’m just trying my best and doing whatever I can!

 

JACK: Then, this’s just gotten even more interesting.

 

JACK: Seems like you’re finally able to convey your own will.

 

Yuya: My own will?

 

JACK: That’s right!

A Duel is like a conversation with your opponent!

You can learn the words you want to use from anyone!

The important thing is whether you can master them,

And use them to convey your own will to your opponent!

That is the essence of Dueling!

 

Yuya: You can learn the words from anyone…

Certainly, the first words I learned were from Dad and his Dueling.

But I did not learn from just Dad.

I also learned from the principal.

Mom.

Gongenzaka.

Yuzu.

As well as every person I’ve fought against…

 

JACK: A true King has to be someone who can shoulder the wishes of the losers.

 

Yuya: That’s right.

Winning or losing,

Dueling has nurtured me.

My Dueling is not something that I alone created.

 

Yuya: Everyone…

It’s because of everyone, that I was able to made it this far.

 

Yuya: The Pendulum Summon that I pioneered,

Would not even evolved this far by my strength alone.

 

Yuya: I understand now, Jack.

Dueling that is not borrowed…

Dueling that is not self-satisfaction…

I understand what it is now!

It’s my turn!

In my Pendulum Zones, I’ve already set the Scale-2 Acrobat Magician and the Scale-8 Nirvana High Paladin.

With this, I can simultaneously summon monsters from Level-3 to 7!

Swing, Pendulum of the soul!

Draw an arc of light across the ether!

Pendulum Summon!

Come forth! My monster!

 

JACK: Five monsters at once!?

 

Melissa: Seriously?

 

Tokumatsu: Damn, son!

 

Kids: Awesome!

 

Yuya: I’m going to fight together with everyone!

 

(Preview for Episode 98)

(New Egao Record: 127)

 

Crow: Right now, everyone in the City is captivated by this Duel!

You can only say the words you want to say now!

 

Yuya: Even if an individual voice is small,

The voices of everyone will definitely echo in your heart!

 

JACK: Then, come at me! Sakaki Yuya!

See your Duel through until the very end!

I shall take you on with everything I got!

 

Yuya: Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V:

Towards the Only Path

The fun has just begun!

 

Thank DMC3444 for the script

[spoiler=Thoughts on 97 RAW]

- Ofc Yuya would save himself with an Action Card otherwise he'd have ended up like Security who were wiped out in one fell swoop.

- Unlike its IRL counterpart, Nirvana treats the synchro as the tuner. Should've paid more attention to the subs for 96.

- Was nice to see the Crimson Dragon in the bg when Jack double tuned into Tyrant. Hell even the tuners turned into burning rings like they did in 5Ds.

- Sora and Tsukikage have Yuzu after screwing up the system in the security complex which is where Reiji/Reira should be, whilst the other Lancers split up to help suppress the riots.

Oh my... This episode is just pretty darn awesome.

Both Yuya summoning Nirvana and Jack summoning Tyrant is just beautiful (that Crimson Dragon and red rings btw).

And finally we got to see Yuya placing an ED pendulum in the P.Zone (I still don't get why this never happened with rebellion), plus the way he countered Jack's move to then set two Scales was pretty cool (wherever he took that acrobat magician from).

Also the scene where he draws Odd-eyes... sublime (gotta love Yuya's development).

I had quite the expectations for the duel and it sure is delivering.

 

...Also...

Jack laughing in the preview. I need that episode now.

I just realized how amazing a plotline for Zane/Ryo would've been in the Xyz arc.

 

He relies on the new CyDra support, bringing out Nova and Infinity and other possible Cyber Dragon Xyz stuff, defeating Obelisk Force mooks left and right for the majority of the arc. Suddenly, Yuri shows up, and a Battle Royale breaks out with Kaito and Zane/Ryo in the middle of a bunch of OF people, maybe Gongenzaka and Sawatari backing them up, and Yuri joins. Kaito is forced to end his turn, but hands off to Zane/Ryo because he has faith that his friend can clinch it, because triple Nova is on the field. Zane/Ryo willingly walks into a Torrential and suddenly has three copies of Cyber End on the field, and activates Overload Fusion for a Chimeratech just to cement his turn and utterly obliterates Kaito because he just wasn't expecting it.

 

I mean, c'mon, you know it would've been a cool moment.

  • Well, the episode kind of froze up somewhere between Yuya P-Summoning and the Synchro Summon of Enlightenment Paladin. I don't think that was supposed to happen (might've been internet b/c it was lagging somewhat beforehand, but I don't know)
  • Jack was surprised to see a Tuner-less Synchro Summon (and for two parts of this duel, he actually smiled, but guess because Yuya finally found his personal style and stopped being mini-Yusho #2).
    • Of course, that came with a nice reference to Burning Soul. (I probably would've liked it more if they actually referenced the ability, but at least the Crimson Dragon came back for a while, so that's cool). Chant for Tyrant is pretty similar to Scar-Red Nova's (bar the last part).
    • The writers were making a pseudo-Yusei vs Jack thing here, weren't they (except no Clear Mind + no awesome music; well, this isn't Yusei and SSD) 
  • Yuya saved his ass from 8500 damage with an Action Card (and yeah, he was just lucky; otherwise, he would've been royally screwed). The Securities weren't so lucky though (and appears that Battle Royal rules count all opposing players as one). 
  • At least we got a look at what the Arrest Corps look like under their armor [i still don't know if they're actually people or humanoid robots]. Oh yeah, and watching the Duel Chasers run off in fear was hilariously funny. 
  • JMR losing his sheet at the Security break-ins. 
  • At least we'll get to see Nirvana High Paladin's Pendulum effect next episode or something (now that it's a Scale). But yeah, 5 monster summon impressed the audience [not like we're already doing that IRL multiple times]. 

 

 

 

At the time of the original post, I've not read the script.

[spoiler=Thoughts on Magna Chapter 8 (Typed as reading)]

So, Reiji seems to think that Yuya will surely beat Sora, and this is just something interesting to watch, huh? Interesting.... Also Kuroskai and Sawatari are funny here.

Yuya fails to reach an action card, and Yuzu doesn't seem much help... Oh, Sora uses Frightfurs again!

Yuzu's reaction to the Pendulum scales in annoying. And handsome Liger... Is this fanservice or something?

WHAT!? Sora has a sister in this continuity?! The hell? Is this magna-only are spoilers for the show?! Dem feels...

Dick move, Akaba, dick move. Also, Sawatari commenting on Shun being a hypocrite is funny.

HOLY HELL!!! YUUUUUUURRRRRRRIIIIII! Also, Yuri's little scary face when he makes fun of Sora is cool.

He's just all like "Screw your sister, Sora, I'm too badass for this c**p". Not sure if I'm happy with this or not...

 

 

Productive Chapter

[spoiler=Thoughts on Chapter 8]

- Fluffal Bear has different stats/level in the manga, huh? Interesting

- Loved the interractions between Shun and Sawatari

- Yuri action next chapter will be very interesting indeed.

- Yuya's stuff is more fanservice-y and Yuzu certainly had a crush on them in this chapter

- Interesting that Sora has a sister in this continuity.

I actually had a miniature theory regarding the anime about the other dimension Yu-forms, and the manga is actually giving it a little more credibility now.

 

My theory was that each of the "Yu"s are one aspect of a whole personality. Yuya is the basic personality, but as evidenced from the very beginning, he's not completely a whole person. He flip-flops a lot, or clings to things and sticks to them even when it is unwise to do so. His ideals are somewhat unrealistic and falter in the face of real adversity, because ideals aren't enough to change things.

 

Yuto possibly represents a more serious and straightforward personality, and has surfaced in situations where Yuya is overwhelmed by strong emotions, such as rage and anger. Yuto from war experience would have plenty of such things, but when Yuya first went red-eyed and Summoned Dark Rebellion, his overall mannerisms were stoic and unfeeling, and his tactics very direct, unlike his usual self.

 

Yugo I'm not fully decided on how he might fit. He's pretty laidback and boisterous, but comfortable as himself. Yuya lacks this bit. He originally always kept a facade of silliness up prior to obtaining Pendulums.

 

Yuri, however, I suspect is more like Yuya's evil counterpart. He's somewhat sadistic, and his entertainment comes at the expense of other people. Manga is suggesting a little that Yuri lacks sympathy that might otherwise make Yuya falter. Yuri seems like the type to prioritize the mission objective over feelings. Unrestrained, such an approach is dangerous and cold. But if properly mixed with a person's personality, it could be channeled constructively.
