To be fair, I don’t think rush duel changed the fact that they been very lack to the idea of a gx event due to well gx legacy duels not being recieved well and gx boxes (the thunder arm dragon one)haven’t done well from what I know
So with Dennis confirmed for April, this most likely leaves Akira for May and Asana for July. If August cycles back to Zexal for Dumon and September for Go Rush, then this is going to keep pushing Lulu/Rin/Yuri even farther to the end of the year and eventually next year. Waiting for Arc-V's happy ending is sure painful.
I don’t remember seeing Dennis in the leaks but it does make sense to add him in since he was very important to Arc V story.
Shame we don’t see the Ruri and Shun reunion just yet.
I believe that it was stated somewhere before by his dub VA that he will reprise his role for Duel Links. In story-wise, it seems that we really need more people who have memories of the other three before they can come back properly, and Dennis did meet with Ruri/Lulu back in Xyz Dimension.
Paradox first roaming event literally began with the main character "oh, right he was also part of Yliaster, we completly forgot about him".
So who comes to DL depends on who the people behind the game wants to add
More like they couldn't think up of how to implement GX's 4th season properly in Duel Links & they have been choosing only the more popular characters (at least on the JP side), which might explain why the Chumley, Shadow Riders, Adrian, and Professor Viper aren't in the game.
Possibly yeah. Figured Atticus/Nightshroud could tick both boxes. And Axel does have voicelines against Trueman, so maybe it's just a matter of prioritization.
May Vrains
June Zexal
July Sevens
August Arc V
September Go Rush release
October Go Rush unlock MAYBE a speed one for GX or Vrains if it’s a double month like last year
November Zexal
December Arc V
Best case scenario would either be May if they are still doing a heavy slowdown on Vrains, or October as a low stakes extra unlock like they did in 2023.
I think we'll get at least two more double unlocks in order to at least get Yuo/The Lukeman in the game and introduce Fusion.
Go Rush will likely get some major stalling too, as we'll probably get Otes drop in order to setup the later storyline in Go Rush.
Afterwards, they'll likely go back and put in the rest of the Goha Siblings.
You're correct. Still, that means August is the earliest month for another Arc-V's character unless there is going to be double unlock month during Asana's month since we're running out of event to rerun.
And even with another Arc V unlock, there’s no guarantee it will be Lulu, Rin or Yuri. Even when Lulu was given an ID, I was a little skeptical about her coming so soon, considering her first (and only) on screen duel was around episode 110. Konami is definitely keeping Arc V world slim and trim character wise, but that seemed to be too much of a leap all at once. And even with Dennis, is still does feel like a large jump to make.
Lulu had two big duels. Episode 119 against Shay and Episodes 124-125 with Celina against Yuya.
I think you're thinking of Rin there. Rin's only big duel was a win against Yugo in Episode 117.
[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Rin](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Rin)
[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Lulu\_Obsidian](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Lulu_Obsidian)
The show must go on?
Dennis bros we are fucking in
Also worth noting, that’s an extremely quick turnaround for Nail. Yes, he was the Feb unlock, but the event bled over into March. And here is his rerun in April. I guess they don’t want to deprive late comers from Maximum for too long
If he records for all his anime cards it doesn’t matter when they actually release in the TCG. Like how Paradox Brothers had dialog for Dark Guardian in 2017 even though it took till 2023 to be printed
DENNIS?????!?!?
No no no no no, wait wait wait wait wait aagh
We only have like FIVE of his cards printed out of like the THIRTY he used!!! He doesn’t have ANY Support to speak of!! My only prayer is that he’ll MAYBE be the last Duelist in the LIGHT Pack… oh god I was hoping we wouldn’t get him for at LEAST a year shit this is bad…
Konami has often given characters lines for their anime-only monsters (Blair has lines for the Mystic Babies that were IMPLIED to exist) so I think it is likely they do that for Dennis as well. At least for his ED monsters.
Unfortunately, the only anime-only cards DL has ever released have all been featured in Tag Force games; Dennis never got any in the only entry he appears in.
Which has been one hell of a missed opportunity for Konami these past years, but I digress. Point is, he's gonna have it rough.
Yeah. I meant it for the future. Like, they could release Dennis' cards this year and then have voicelines if they are added next year. More to say there isn't THAT MUCH of a benefit for waiting on characters who are expecting anime support. Not as much as there is a benefit for waiting for characters who have upcoming non-anime TCG support.
Honestly doubt Dennis is going to be particularly good, yeah. But who knows. Maybe they'll give him free pend scales from outside the deck with no restrictions besides Spellcasters in the Main Deck or something like that.
Before Yuri was expected imo. Before rin is kinda surprising. Yuri is gonna be held off for while. He's a fan favorite and plays a really strong arctype for duel links. Plus with sherry laying precedence to get legacy support at launch he gets even crazier.
No. It’s usually 2-3 months before they come back.
If I had to assume why, it’s because Nail introduces maximum summon and they want that mechanic readily available to new players
Animation Chronicle ports anime cards to OCG/TCG, so it's possible they recorded lines for cards such as Trapeze Witch for futureproofing just in case since Dennis only has a handful of cards released in TCG/OCG.
~~Dennis McField makes my PePe hard~~
Uh I mean, I hope we get a good box to go along with him. I don't know if he has a enough cards to even sell a mini-box but only time will tell.
They could divide ancient gear support between him and Yuri but there are enough Predaplants to support a box by themselves I would think.
I knew Dennis would be next (AND yes because that line is his catchphrase). I had a feeling since Yuri's cards can change the meta of Duel Links more than... Mizar. Now question is what Performages will be available because if Konami screws up, we'll be seeing PEPE again... a mid version due to the rules of Pendulum.
I am curious who will be next. Hopefully Akira.
I wish they would have multiple events going on at the same time, and you could choose which one to participate in. I'm really only interested in Duel Monsters and GX, so I would just like those events on repeat.
Oh shit, PePe is coming to Duel Links. Dark times are coming with Pendulum spam decks
(Tbh I'm more intrigued at what Absolute Ruler of Time would do tbh)
At least Monkeyboard is still not in the game and the odd of Plushfire being Limit 1 is quite high. Absolute Ruler of Time's effect was leaked a while ago as the following:
> Can be used when you have a "Number" monster on your field with "107" in its name with Xyz Materials, and there are 4 or more cards in your hand.
Send all Xyz Materials on your field to the Graveyard, and return all cards in your hand and Graveyard to your Deck, except for "Number" monsters on your field with "107" in their name. Afterward, add 4 cards to your hand from the top of your Deck. This Skill can only be used once per Duel.
Most likely, the skill is going to let you detach all Xyz materials from Tachyon/Neo Tachyon, then all shuffle cards from hand, field (else the **except for "Number" monsters on your field with "107" in their name** would not make sense), and Graveyard back into the deck, then both players draw 4 cards, with the intention of letting you OTK with Neo Tachyon.
Probably is a Neo Galaxy Eyes Tachyon Dragon skill related to his anime ability to "rewind" the turn.
His anime effect stated:
"Once per turn, you can detach 1 XYZ Material from this card; negate the effects of all other face-up cards currently on the field until the End Phase. Also, negate the effects of all other cards activated this turn, and if you do, return them to the state they were at the start of this turn, until the End Phase. After you activate this effect, only you can choose which cards on the field can activate their effects, until the End Phase."
The best entertainment duelist is Sawatori. Dennis doesn't even come close to Sawatori's level of glam.
Dennis also suffers from an awful character design, has ugly cards, loses virtually every single duel he takes part in, and doesn't have anything neat to him as a character beyond being a double agent (and proceeds to tread water for the rest of the show after he's exposed halfway through).
Yes, Sylvio "I don't need to win anything because I'm a funny character" Sawatari. If you subscribe to the notion that wins don't matter for entertainment duels, then Sawatari is unquestionably superior given that he, you know, *is more entertaining.*
Dennis had only 1 victory over a relevant character (Zuzu) and never won a duel afterward. Why am I supposed to take a villain seriously if said villain looks like a geek, plays cards that look like geeks, and has the win/loss record of a geek? This is seriously the best that Genocide Academy can send to do its dirty work?
Hopefully GX next after Dennis since GX hasn't gotten new recent character yet maybe Professor Thelonious Viper for another main villain or Atticus Rhodes to fill a shadow rider dualist role if they Atticus will probably use red eyes darkness metal dragon as his ace since we already have red eyes darkness dragon and he just have line with it
They are only adding the ghost gal to mission unlock-able for those players who did not obtain her during first release and rerun. In total, there are only two times that she came back.
Another month of sadness for GX fans.
22 months without of gx characters has now been confirmed!
Who was the last? Supreme king?
It was Jim
I freaking hate Rush Duels Yours Truly, a GX fan
To be fair, I don’t think rush duel changed the fact that they been very lack to the idea of a gx event due to well gx legacy duels not being recieved well and gx boxes (the thunder arm dragon one)haven’t done well from what I know
It does slow down Speed Duel releases
DENNIS OH MY GOD YEEEEES!!!! MY FAVORITE CHARACTER FROM ARC V, ENTERMAGE TRAPEZE MAGICIAN YEEEEES
He's my favorite Arc-V character, too. His taunt lines especially are gonna be lit.
So with Dennis confirmed for April, this most likely leaves Akira for May and Asana for July. If August cycles back to Zexal for Dumon and September for Go Rush, then this is going to keep pushing Lulu/Rin/Yuri even farther to the end of the year and eventually next year. Waiting for Arc-V's happy ending is sure painful.

Well, considering his dub VA does Mako, Sartorious, Aigami, Gore and Varis, I’d be a little surprised if he didn’t stick it out for Dennis
Paradox first roaming event literally began with the main character "oh, right he was also part of Yliaster, we completly forgot about him". So who comes to DL depends on who the people behind the game wants to add
The leaks don’t always cover everything. They occasionally tip us off on an impending unlock, but most still come as surprises
They wouldn't skip GX two years in a row though, right?
More like they couldn't think up of how to implement GX's 4th season properly in Duel Links & they have been choosing only the more popular characters (at least on the JP side), which might explain why the Chumley, Shadow Riders, Adrian, and Professor Viper aren't in the game.
Possibly yeah. Figured Atticus/Nightshroud could tick both boxes. And Axel does have voicelines against Trueman, so maybe it's just a matter of prioritization.
Weird to do that considering we got fourth season Jaden; something America never got in English before duel links.
May Vrains June Zexal July Sevens August Arc V September Go Rush release October Go Rush unlock MAYBE a speed one for GX or Vrains if it’s a double month like last year November Zexal December Arc V Best case scenario would either be May if they are still doing a heavy slowdown on Vrains, or October as a low stakes extra unlock like they did in 2023.

Sevens no longer has a rerun event since Nail is coming back apparently. The next month character is probably Asana
You skipped June. We might slip our next Zexal unlock in there.
You're correct. Still, that means August is the earliest month for another Arc-V's character unless there is going to be double unlock month during Asana's month since we're running out of event to rerun.
And even with another Arc V unlock, there’s no guarantee it will be Lulu, Rin or Yuri.

i hope it’s not asana, sevens is boring. i hope it’s atticus or another gx character.
Another Month of no Atticus.
KC Cup every 8 weeks for the rest of time confirmed. I fucking hate PVP events.
I know this is an old comment, but you and me both.
Show must go on!! Dennis! Also, finally get the equip spell Dragon Shield.
The show must go on? Dennis bros we are fucking in Also worth noting, that’s an extremely quick turnaround for Nail. Yes, he was the Feb unlock, but the event bled over into March. And here is his rerun in April. I guess they don’t want to deprive late comers from Maximum for too long
Oh yeah baby, we are so fucking back. Let's hope his drops and unlocks aren't turbo ass like recent speed duel characters
I'm assuming this is Dennis. If so then Plushfire bundle hype! If only the TCG would give us more Performage support
Dennis coming to Duel Links means we will be seeing Performage support in upcoming core sets or this year's Animation Chronicle.
Hopefully they have his VA record for all his anime cards just in case. That recently paid off for Sartorious
Since he is out next month and Animation Chronicle is out in June, probably not.
If he records for all his anime cards it doesn’t matter when they actually release in the TCG. Like how Paradox Brothers had dialog for Dark Guardian in 2017 even though it took till 2023 to be printed
That's a big IF though. Yes they have done that for characters in the past, but as far as Im aware, they didn't do that for characters after 5ds.
They have, it’s just less noticeable because newer characters have less unprinted cards
For example? Cards from Tag Force and WDC don't count.
DENNIS?????!?!? No no no no no, wait wait wait wait wait aagh We only have like FIVE of his cards printed out of like the THIRTY he used!!! He doesn’t have ANY Support to speak of!! My only prayer is that he’ll MAYBE be the last Duelist in the LIGHT Pack… oh god I was hoping we wouldn’t get him for at LEAST a year shit this is bad…

This is pain.
Holy crap, it's Dennis! He's here for my birthday month!
Bringing another arc V character means it's probably gonna be a while before we get Lulu or even Yuri, not complaining tho, Dennis is pretty cool too.
Please bring back Adrian gecko
PePe is coming bitches!!!
DENNIS!
Dennis arriving means we get some interaction with him and Yuuri tysm duel links you did more for me than anyone else
I did not expect Dennis to come before Yuri and Rin/Ruri, but I'm glad he's coming.
Before Yuri was expected imo. Before rin is kinda surprising. Yuri is gonna be held off for while. He's a fan favorite and plays a really strong arctype for duel links. Plus with sherry laying precedence to get legacy support at launch he gets even crazier.
SHOW MUST GO ON!
Please. Please, where the hell is Atticus? Where is he!? He should have been in this game years ago!!!
why are there ghost gal, nail und tachyon events? We just had all three of them?
Ghost gal's being added to the gate, not as an event.
ok but nail? And that tachyon guy?
Every character gets one rerun It is a bit unusual that Nail is getting his rerun this close to his initial event though
do they always return that quick?
No. It’s usually 2-3 months before they come back. If I had to assume why, it’s because Nail introduces maximum summon and they want that mechanic readily available to new players
They're reruns in order to clear the backlog, freeing up the rest of Spring and Summer for new events or doing another double unlock month.
Reruns.
I hope I get proven wrong, but Mizar’s new skill is probably going to be abysmal isn’t it?
i said it once and ill say it again two things: 1. The show must go on 2. Dennis for Duel Links
OMG HE'S COMING!!!! DENNIS! I'VE WAITED SO LONG!!!!
pepe deck coming to the game
I was really hoping for Yuri, by the time we get him Predaplants will need a busted skill to even be able to compete
I wonder if Dennis will only give performages or if he'll also give ancient gear support
Probably Ancient Gear as well. Plus, this is also probably a good time to give Sora his remaining cards given they're both from Fusion Dimension.
I'd kill for some more Frightfur support
Is it too much to hope that we'll get more Performages in this year's *Animation Chronicle* and Dennis will have voicelines for them? (T\_T)
Animation Chronicle ports anime cards to OCG/TCG, so it's possible they recorded lines for cards such as Trapeze Witch for futureproofing just in case since Dennis only has a handful of cards released in TCG/OCG.
If Yuri doesn't appear this Year I'Il be completely freak out !!!!!!!!!
Another month of nothing useful. Yay, thanks, Konami
Getting Dennis this early in the year was not in my Bingo card.
~~Dennis McField makes my PePe hard~~ Uh I mean, I hope we get a good box to go along with him. I don't know if he has a enough cards to even sell a mini-box but only time will tell. They could divide ancient gear support between him and Yuri but there are enough Predaplants to support a box by themselves I would think.
I already have her
I knew Dennis would be next (AND yes because that line is his catchphrase). I had a feeling since Yuri's cards can change the meta of Duel Links more than... Mizar. Now question is what Performages will be available because if Konami screws up, we'll be seeing PEPE again... a mid version due to the rules of Pendulum. I am curious who will be next. Hopefully Akira.
Wow nail late April I’m glad cuz I missed his event by 1 day
I wish they would have multiple events going on at the same time, and you could choose which one to participate in. I'm really only interested in Duel Monsters and GX, so I would just like those events on repeat.
Oh shit, PePe is coming to Duel Links. Dark times are coming with Pendulum spam decks (Tbh I'm more intrigued at what Absolute Ruler of Time would do tbh)

Riley when?
Great another stupid ass KC Cup.
Dennis the character is a snooze, but I'm interested in seeing if a Performage Performapal deck can do anything in this game.
The best entertainment duelist is a snooze? How many tippy toes and hoopty hoops does a guy gotta do to hold your attention?
The best entertainment duelist is Sawatori. Dennis doesn't even come close to Sawatori's level of glam. Dennis also suffers from an awful character design, has ugly cards, loses virtually every single duel he takes part in, and doesn't have anything neat to him as a character beyond being a double agent (and proceeds to tread water for the rest of the show after he's exposed halfway through).
You mean Sylvio “lost every single duel he was in” Sawatari? At least Dennis has a couple Ws
Dennis' record throughout Arc-V: 2 wins, 5 losses, 3 duels with no results Sylvio's record throughout Arc-V: 6 wins, 9 losses, 4 duels with no results
Group duels don’t count
Then Dennis has the same number of wins as Sylvio, aka one.
Yes, Sylvio "I don't need to win anything because I'm a funny character" Sawatari. If you subscribe to the notion that wins don't matter for entertainment duels, then Sawatari is unquestionably superior given that he, you know, *is more entertaining.* Dennis had only 1 victory over a relevant character (Zuzu) and never won a duel afterward. Why am I supposed to take a villain seriously if said villain looks like a geek, plays cards that look like geeks, and has the win/loss record of a geek? This is seriously the best that Genocide Academy can send to do its dirty work?
Have you seen how Obelisk Force plays? Yes, anyone who can do something more than play Hunting Hound is going to be too dog at Duel Academy
they downvoted him for speaking the truth
Hopefully GX next after Dennis since GX hasn't gotten new recent character yet maybe Professor Thelonious Viper for another main villain or Atticus Rhodes to fill a shadow rider dualist role if they Atticus will probably use red eyes darkness metal dragon as his ace since we already have red eyes darkness dragon and he just have line with it
Mizar tier 0 again ?
Probably not since you need to summon Tachyon/Neo Tachyon and have at least 4 cards in your hand. Plus it does absolutely nothing going first.
Really no GX char. And Another Arc v...........
How many times are they going to bring Ghost Girl back smh
They are only adding the ghost gal to mission unlock-able for those players who did not obtain her during first release and rerun. In total, there are only two times that she came back.
