Crow doesn't have an original backstory like Sherry' date=' though, so it was worse when he tried to take away main charachter statuses from other charachters.

[/quote']

 

I recommend that you re-watch the Dark Signer arc. Crow has as much backstory as the others; unlike Sherry, he needed more than one episode to tell it. We still don't know everything, but we know enough.

 

Sherry was orphaned by the villain and taken care of by the family butler: sounds like Bruce Wayne to me.

 

Notice the "original" I threw in there.

 

Crow's backstory was a section of Yusei and JACK'S. He grew up in Sattalite, no family.

 

Notice how Sherry's backstory is everything but original.

 

Within 5D's it is.

 

Orphaned by the main villain? Hunted by them? Doesn't that apply to pretty much everyone in this series?

Sherry hasn't had any character development since her arrival. Neither has Dark Glass, unless you count Bruno...

 

For all we know, Sherry could be working with the Infinity Trio, its still to early to say "LoLz, ShErRi ShOuLd BeCoMe A SiGnEr, BeCaUsE i SaId So! hUhUhUh"

I'm pretty sure, that from Konami's point of view, it's a good thing to make the signer a popular character, since that makes people happy that their favourite character is a signer, and so like the show a bit more. Ergo, popular characters will probably be signers, "BECOS I LURV THEM", might just be a reasonable argument, as long as it doesn't defy logic.

EDIT: And even then... konami...

You don't know Konami's POV, so don't speak for them.

 

What makes you think the entirety of an arc isn't planned out before it is animated? Would the writers know that Crow or Kiryu would be popular before they were made? No, and that's why your logic fails.

Sherry or Kiryu for Signerness. >>

 

The hell are you talking about? You have yet to present an argument' date=' other than I WANNA THEM TO BE SIGNAR BECOS I LURV THEM.

[/quote']

 

Kiryu has absolutely no potential of becoming a Signer. As you told me, he's basically a Jinchuriki, and even that's just some crack theory. He's not going to go beyond that.

 

Sherry has ties to Yliaster, is an interesting character, doesn't exist for the sole purpose of giving other characters a background whilst serving as a walking advertisement for an absurdly broken archetype, isn't trying to steal other character's status as a major character, inspired Aki to become a D-Wheeler, and might possibly possess the Fifth Dragon.

Her ties to Yliaster are the same as almost everyone else's: Their parents were killed by them.

The most interesting character this arc is Dark Glass.

I didn't know you could be this prejudiced: Just because a character uses a good archetype, they're bad? Also, Crow isn't stealing anyone's MC-status, it's called "introducing a new character" and should be something you're quite familiar with.

Aki was inspired by Sherry being female - which means about 50% of the population - and actually playing the card game on a motorcycle.

Your evidence to back this up consists of Sherry Wayne and Alfred Mizoguchi looking at a card we can't see. That clearly means she has the Fifth Dragon, right?

Wait there is a difference between Sherry and everyone else whose parent where killed indirectly by yliaster in the fact that...they were personaly hunted and killed by them (For a reason which is the card that sherry keeps in teddy) while other character's were left orfan by them but caused by masive territory destruction (Case of JACK and crow's parents and Bommer's family)...(And Yusei's father who dies in the climax of stoping rudger's plans...)..and that's all...there is no other orfan in 5d's with ties to ylisater. So she has more than a motive to seek revenge on them....and even then I figured out that 5d's producer loves crow too much to take him off his signer status...

 

NOW....If there...has too be any new filler...For the love of good! give the JACKXCarly fans the moment we have been waiting for so long! *Isaytheygottakissnow!*

I will be conform with say misty dueling Carly for...something so she can finally remember her days as dark signers...just like Kiryu did....

Sherry is the only character whose parents were killed by Yliaster. If you're referring to the Zero Reverse' date=' then that was due to Rudger, who was not involved with Yliaster aside from meeting that guy in the desert.

 

The most interesting character this arc is Dark Glass.

 

While he is intriguing, I don't know how he's the most interesting.

I've nicknamed him Croshiro Uchiha for a reason: He's ridiculously powerful and disregarding his power, he's still annoying. That was part of the reason why I actually liked 85.

 

Also' date=' Crow isn't [b']stealing[/b] anyone's MC-status, it's called "introducing a new character" and should be something you're quite familiar with.

 

Aki was played up as being a crucial member of the trio that should have been Yusei, Jack, and Aki. After 64, Crow is a Signer, Aki and the twins now have about as much as importance as Carly. I understand that Crow has been friends with Yusei and Crow for a long time, but why do two other Signers have to lose what little importance they had around the time a new Signer is christened?

 

Your evidence to back this up consists of Sherry Wayne and Alfred Mizoguchi looking at a card we can't see. That clearly means she has the Fifth Dragon' date=' right?

It might be the Fifth Dragon. The only cards that come to mind that Yliaster would want are the Fifth Dragon and some card related to the Kikouetei.

The Zero Reverse was caused by Rudger being a Dark Signer, which indeed was Yliaster's fault.

 

So far, the few plots that Crow has been involved in relates more to him than let's say Aki or Luca. His duel with and subsequent rescue of Junk-jiisan was because of Martha, which Crow knows as good as Jack and Yusei - yet I don't see you complaining about that - and his duel with Leo was to prove a point with Zora. Aki herself has been more plot-relevant since 65 and onward, due to her saving Yusei's life at one point, and Luca has dueled one of the Paladins. You see, Crow isn't nearly as MC-stealing as you make him out to be; he just has more screentime than Aki and the twins due to the fact that he's physically closer to the protagonist.

...And Divine's Spirit seeking revenge on the 2 woman that manage to somehow kill him.....

OMG WHAT DID I JUST DO.....

Personally' date=' I think it looks like the writing staff hadn't thought of Crow untill the second arc. If they had, he would've gotten a cameo in one of Yusei's memories.

 

And Rua needs some filler episodes cuz he's awesome.

[/quote']

 

No more fillers. Anything but that.

 

Maybe he could do something all on his own that's related to the plot, and that actually has some significancPr
