. . . because Yusei is a complete and utter douche these days? *Cough* I know Yusei's parents suffered an untimely death thanks to Rudger and Hakase Fudou has to be one of the most awesome adult characters on the show ever, but Yusei's overall character has just gone from dead serious about his goals to being some common senseless douchebag.
But anyway, that aside, my favorite orphan character/overall anime character/overall YGO character/overall YGO 5D's character is Crow Hogan-sama, which isn't surprising if you looked at my profile.
Yusei may have the brains in the show, Jack may have the power and the brawns, but what does Crow have? Common sense and, a rarity back in the days of the Dark Signer Arc, a sense of optimism. Heck, with the way Crow acted in the Dark Signer Arc, you would never guess he had been an orphan, wandering around Satellite since day one or that he had suffered a friendless life in the beginning. And I find it awesome that, instead on dwelling in the past, he helps other orphans try to gain a life that he never had. (Not to mention the really soft spot for kids, as in the case of 114 with Yeagar's son, Kaoru.) And he has a ridiculously funny and awesome sense of humor.
Besides, who was the one who scolded Yusei when Yusei was all, "Screw you, Team Unicorn. I'm occupied with something else." and walked away somewhat rudely? None other but Crow. Aki could've done it. Jack could've done it (But he was too busy pimping in the first place). But nope. It was Crow, Defender of Common Sense and Good Manners.
Now, I know the current arc makes Crow seem like an utter douchebag to some people, but granted, that's what happens when you stick the bad writers in. |
