Cool, it's that biker girl. Glad to see that she got more screen time and meets Yuusaku/Playmaker face to face.

Felt more like a buildup episode though considering the circumstances though.
Poor Blue Angel...still out cold.

I knew that the Blue Angel would be Ema in disguise trying to lure Playmaker.Did Not expect Akira to meet both Yusaku and Playmaker face to face.Good to see Ema getting more screentime and Akira taking some action.I didn't expect Akira to meet Revolver as well.I think Akira would admire or respect Yusaku since he was grateful to Yusaku but hates Playmaker for hurting Aoi.

Well I wonder how long till Akira finds out Yusaku is Playmaker. After the hospital time, only a mater of time till he puts two and two together.

So Ema is a super hacker, if she had goal beyond money, she could cause that damage, very OP.

So we have Yusaku vs Revolver already, this series is moving fast. And after Aoi is revived, I wonder how that will effect her character, as well as Yusaku and Akira's character.

Hmm, Ignis did detect Hanoi's presence in Ema, does that mean she secretly work for Hanoi too? She's probably the kind of character that will be playing on every side that is willing to pay or something.

Nice set up episode.

The name mistake in the subs made me laugh. xD

Looks like Aoi is in a coma because of a Hanoi Virus. Speaking of which someone remind me how Link VRAINS is connected to the physical body?

Zaizen sure decided to do a number on Yuusaku, at least he felt bad about it when he learned the truth.
Revolver vs Yuusaku is up next, this should be exciting.

This is one of the few instance on the whole franchise when I don't know how the outcome will be. The stake is too high for Yusaku to lose but beating Revolver on early stage like this is not an option either. Getting draw seems to be far-fetched too so my bet goes with the duel interrupted in the middle like always.

He has to defeat Revolver now.
Akira really liked to torture poor Yuusaku, it was all for his sister though.

My memory is vague, but I think it was said that if something bad happens to you in Vrains, it will lead to flashbacks irl which can cause mental damage. I don't know how much sense that makes but whatever.
Since I suck at explaining this is taken from TVTrope.

Taking too much damage in Link VRAINS will have adverse effect on a Duelist's physical brain that could potentially make them a brain-dead vegetable. An average duel might not cause that much damage, but falling off a D-Board in a Speed Duel could prove to be fatal.

I'm really looking forward to the Playmaker vs. Revolver duel, although its blatantly obvious that it will end with no result. My only gripe is that they're apparently going to waste 4 episodes for it.

I'm pretty surprised how consistently plot focused vrains has been. I'm sure the filler will kick in eventually but its nice how focused on the important cast members it has been instead of getting sidetracked by literal whos.

The title is 100% intentional. Vrains is an acronym and it stands for Virtual Reality Artificial Intelligence Network System.

What are you guys even saying? Ema with hanoy? Ema work for Chess piece

Whole VRAINS turn into a trap just for Playmaker... thats really overkill
If your VRAINS's avatar got virus you re done for. hacker or whoever evil also can create a program to mind control all people on VRAINS and take over the world

Ema works for whoever pays her. So it isn't that far-fetched to think she may work for the knights in the future.

I don't remember Ema said that

From the leaked previews. While there are no summaries for 11, 12 and 13 yet, the episode titles heavily implies that the duel continues until 12, with 13 being the aftermath. https://dueldeegao.wordpress.com/2017/07/05/ep-9-13-staff-and-titles/

Not a bad setup episode.

Aoi is still in a coma because of Hanoi's Virus.

Playmaker vs Revolver should be fun.

Aoi in a coma, reminds me a bit of 5D's when Aki was in one after her duel with Misty.

I am really liking all this dark stuff that is happening.

The sub got that wrong. Ignis said "she doesn't have any traces of Hanoi", the exact opposite.
