GOD. OK. IF I DONT TALK ABOUT THE END OF THE Z-ONE DUEL LINKS EVENT I’LL EXPLODE. SO. FINALLY. like an unwell woman i screenshotted all 62 (!!) little scenes from it but while the first half is a pretty cut-n-dry play by play of the end of Yusei and Z-one’s duel, the second half just proceeds to hit like a TRUCK.
I love!! Getting this little scene of Team 5D’s as a whole talking about how they need to take care of their future to truly save Z-one, just whenever we get to see this group’s bond makes me smile so much. AND I LOVE THAT DUEL LINKS GIVES US A WORLD WHERE BRUNO GETS TO STAY AN UNDISPUTED PART OF THE TEAM!!!!
Anyway then as if I needed one last brick to the head for the road with this event!! God. This ENDING!!! A.) the unspoken implication of Bruno quietly stepping away from T5D’s to go be by Z-one’s side as the old bastard realizes he isn’t dead. ;__; WOOUGH. Z-ONE IS HIS OLDEST FRIEND AFTER ALL!!!!!! B.) ok so maybe duel links is seto kaiba’s little ego project creating AI memory clones of people from dimensions he’s never even been to, so maybe that’s a little terrifying, MY FUCKIGN PEEPAW POLYCULE!! GET TO LIVE ON IN THIS DIGITAL REALM!!! IN CARD GAME HEAVEN!!! AND ACTUALLY SEE TEAM 5DS CREATE A BETTER SAFER FUTURE!!! Z-ONE DOESNT HAVE TO DIE HE CAN BE WITH HIS LOVED ONES RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!!! SO MAYBE IT’S NOT ALL BAD OUT HERE!!!!!!!! CRYING. CRYING. CRYING SOBBING A LOT.
