That, too! One of the things that really set me off about last week's episode was Kamui's "I probably did something bad" comment. The only reason he knows is because he's seen how Reverse works, but they'll probably never even talk about what happened and... UGH.

The thing that really gets me is this: Nagashiro's Reversing wasn't even done with a fight. They just brainwashed her using a computer. If the goal of Link Joker is to cause/spread DESPAIR! (I hate this kind of vague BS, too), then why aren't they just posting this brainwashy junk on like, IDK, YouTube or something? Infecting one fighter to infect another with the effects wearing off if they're beaten sounds... really inefficient in light of "Look at the screen... threetwoone REVERSED!"

I gave up on season 3 several weeks ago, so I didn't even know about this... computer thing. What.

Are the writers even trying anymore.

Also on this computer thing

...exactly why couldn't she be reversed the same way Takuto was? He wasn't put through a fight either, it was just 'hi I'm going to possess you now'

I have absolutely no idea, and I don't think the writers really thought things through. Or they did at first, but then got tired and dropped the ball when it came to answering the question of now a non-fighter got reversed.

Granted, when it came to Takuto I was willing to believe something like "Because he's from Cray, he's susceptible to BS." Because Cray's ties to Earth and all the plots involving it so far make it seem like it/its inhabitants are just that easily taken over by any little thing. I'm also willing to believe that Link Joker did something special just for him because he was their best shot at starting out on Earth.

But... None of this is said! So instead of getting something interesting, like "Nagashiro was interested in Vanguard the whole time, but she kept it from the other student council members because she knew they wouldn't approve and they're her besties, so that weakened her heart..." and so on, we got "Here's Nagashiro (way back at the start of the season) looking at her computer while those guys argue about Cardfight-bu. Oh, look! The LJ rings! Uh-oh..."

That was literally it. She wasn't a fighter, she just sort of... magically became one because Link Joker said so! And she's been affected since the start of the season, so if the trend of "I don't remember anything" holds up, that means she's missing a pretty big chunk of time there. Of course, we don't have to worry about that implication because they'll never mention it again (I bet), so...

Yeah. Again, I have absolutely no idea. And it's kind of aggravating because I know it's just a children's card game show (I should really just relax), but I can't help it when they throw out a nice idea like reversing and then just proceed to go BLUH BLUH BLUH with it.

My headcanon is that Nagashiro was already pretty lonely and filled with "emptiness" so that made it easier for them to Reverse her and create a mole within the school.

Maybe it takes a great deal of effort to specifically Reverse someone this way, and maybe the person has to have the inclination towards it. One of the major advantages of the regular Reverse method is that it doesn't matter who you are or what your personality is like: it works on everyone as soon as they lose a Cardfight.

But maybe I'm just making excuses IDK.

The thing is that those are fine ideas, but the show isn't saying or really showing anything that explicitly backs that up. If they ever do, then I can go "Oh, okay" and forgive it—I'm not dead set on being mad about this. I just am right now because as it's presented, it's not coming across as well as I feel it ought to.

Oh, I completely agree with you. I have my headcanon but that doesn't really excuse the lack of clarification on the show's end.

Aha. I was just making sure I made myself clear there. Because I was talking to someone else (a person who isn't a fan) about this, and they were like "And you're still watching because...?" It made me realize that, yeah, I'm harping on these details pretty bad, but it's not in any... "real serious capacity," I want to say? Like, it irks me, but I don't really mind making up reasons why X and Y make sense, but at the same time I just want the show to do it itself.
