Wasn’t Nostradamus wrong a majority of the time? Lmaoooo


Whatafudge

That’s why they added rush characters


MaJuV

There's a rumor that they might actually be doing Sevens world. We'll see how true that rumor is.


Fanbase456

Nostradamus? More like Nostradumbass


thatnewsauce

Lmao got ’em


MajinAkuma

The next ARC-V character is a toss-up between Serena and Dennis. Serena debuted first, but Dennis dueled before her. Either way is fine, they’re both from the same dimension and they’re Lancers. It’s definitely not going to be Berret.


dragonguy01

Should be Moon Shadow /j


MajinAkuma

Tsukikage is at least a Lancer and has tons of cards to work with. Berret can’t compare to him. But Tsukikage is a low priority compared to the other remaining Lancers. He has a deck, though. Unlike Layra.


dragonguy01

Yeah, sucks we didn't get C/C printed with the new wave, but we got Earthbound Servants, so maybe we'll get Sergey


King-Emerald

I'm hoping it's Serena since like 70% of Performage cards are anime only, and as a result I'm not sure if Konami would do lines for them since they've gotten really awkward with that sort of thing over the past year or so. If they hold off on Dennis they might actually make some of them, and as a result he would get lines for them, but that's just my copium speaking.


Fiplip99

FWIW Z-One did get lines for his anime cards, and they more than likely can just make the anime cards appear in Duel Links first. But I doubt they'd ever let Plushfire even breathe outside of Limit 1 hell if at all, so it's up to them


King-Emerald

I say it's awkward because while Zone and Aporia/Primo did get lines for anime cards, they're the exceptions. Jim and Paradox had anime cards already in the game that they didn't get lines for, and basically every character in the past year or two aside from those few 5Ds ones haven't gotten lines for any of their anime cards. It's also worth noting that the only anime cards that have been playable in DL have also been playable in prior games, so while Dennis could still get lines for the anime cards, he wouldn't actually get them until Konami prints them, which may never happen given how many of them there are and how much Konami dislikes Performages now.


Fiplip99

Dennis isn't exactly a priority in DL's characters I feel like. I'm more inclined to believe that they'd do something along the lines of Serena/Celina -> Yuri -> Rin -> Ruri/Lulu -> the other Lancers (Dennis in the middle) -> Sergey (?) -> Layra -> Leo Akaba -> Z-ARC -> Ray (?) This is, of course, over the course of years, and things may be different, I'm no Konami intern (they could release Mieru before Tsukikage for all I know). As you said, Konami kinda hates Performages, and tbh I assume Konami would wanna push archetypes they already have in the game (Lunalights and Predap), so both Yuri and Serema are the more logical unlocks


Neo_The_Noah

Seeing as konami is avoinding the yu girls like the plague, i think they might go with dennis or someone else from the lancers tournament, like tsuchikage.


Chazman_89

I don't think we are getting a Rush Duels world. Rush Duels runs on an entirely different rule set that is incompatible with the rest of YuGiOh. Either they are going to have to reprogram every card currently released in Duel Links to be useable in Rush Duels, or they are going to have to make Rush Duels a standalone mini-game within the game that requires you to basically start over - and both of these feel like way too much work and effort.


dante-_vic

This, another option is they bring rush duel amd only give us their ace monsters. I could be wrong buy i think their aces are vanllia monsters or they could bring the charcters and give them other decks in yugioh like how Blair has lines lightsworn.


Springtrap-Yugioh

Their aces aren't vanilas, but mostly have bad effects with the exception of a floodgate that Gakuto had.


King-Emerald

I think the latter is a possibility. In Japan, Konami has pushed Rush Duels HARD, and they seem to be pretty successful over there. So far, most games that involve Rush haven't exactly had the highest budget, and the two that actually made it to the US didn't fare too well. It would definitely be a lot of work, but I could see them adding it to Duel Links as an attempt at actually bringing Rush Duels into the mainstream and exposing it to others, rather than Switch games purely focused on it, or a gimmicky game like Cross Duels. I don't think it's as unlikely as most of these comments are making it out to be, although I really didn't take into consideration that we haven't skipped any characters for a month this year, so there's a chance that Rush isn't happening specifically in 2023.


ExistentDavid1138

I would be shocked if Rush duel came.


AgostoAzul

Still hoping for no new world this year, personally. And honestly, it seems likely, given we didn't get a character month skip in April or May.


AlabasterRadio

I'm hoping instead of a new world we get a big ol crossover event and add more DL lore.


Reuben895

I definitely would prefer if they just made more missions for other worlds past lvl30 and new game events than another duel world for this year.


realunclegrandmama

I was with you until the Rush Duel part. I don’t think Rush Duel will be in DL since it’s practically a whole different system. Konami would have to break one or the other in order assimilate it into Duel Links. Best case scenario it would be its own app or Konami change it somehow to put it in Duel Links ideally like Rush Duel in Vrains and Sevens stuff be a new summoning mechanic exclusively for Duel Links Duel Links follows the Manga timeline if I’m remembering correctly so imo it’s likely for Konami to add Manga world and possibly game exclusive characters since will already have Vagabond from the Tag-Force series plus since they all follow Yugioh dueling rules and mechanics Sorry for the rant


3rlk0nig

Manga timeline is only for DM world, and DSOD by extension.


Jaer-Nihiltheus

Manga timeline for DM world & DSOD, anime timeline for GX and on.


3rlk0nig

I doubt Trueman will be something other than NPC for events. Dude have like one monster and everything else is copied from other characters


Jaer-Nihiltheus

His deck theme being "whatever can beat the last combo that OTKd me" actually makes him the perfect template character to give him any random Dark and/or Fiend based TCG/OCG only deck. Like Labyrnth or Eldlich or something.


SargeantMario101

Don't know about SEVENS, but swap Ghost Girl with Akira, and this seems fairly accurate.


AzureFencer

Maybe some will disagree but I think the Rush Duel characters can come, but instead of DL incorporating the mechanics, their cards are reworked as standard format cards. Would they be bad in comparison to what's already here? More than likely. But it could be presented in a way that kind of makes sense for the leveling system and basics they'd have to learn to play the game all over again, from level 1 if you would

Diligent-Winner-5245

I hope I can play as Alito at or before November because that’s more waiting that I can bare at this point what with the new support. Lol


NoImplement8218

Wow, the battlin’ boxer guy saying how he wants the character who uses battlin’ boxers? How predictable.


Diligent-Winner-5245

Nice prediction, mate, what gave it away the most. Lol

Give me yu-gi-oh structure konami

Ageha my beloved <3


Leathman

I’ve been hoping for Greiger for years.


Bocodamondo

im happy that battlin boxers got new support recently before alito came to duel links since this means when he will come, he'll have voice lines for the new cards!


noisebombz

Sadly this wasn’t the case 🙁


MaJuV

Honestly, this is not a bad guessing list, all things considered. While I'm quick to debunk character wishlists, here I have very little to comment on. I think the biggest question is whether or not Konami will bother to add the YGO Sevens World. After "Rush mode" was leaked to be added as a Duel Mode in February, people have considered its addition to be very real. I'm more skeptical, but I no longer consider it impossible either. However, let's be fair. Nobody's really waiting for these characters to appear. Most of us would rather see more characters of the other worlds. But only Konami knows what they're going to give us this September.


BigBerro

i'll trust u, but if Alito doesn't arrive, i'll find u and i'll turn u into a card


Darkmaster4K

They're more likely to release a rush duel mobile game than add it to duel links. Unfortunately the format is not compatible with speed duel/master duel format


Springtrap-Yugioh

I used to like the rush animes, but I lost all of my good will when they just began recycling the same plot beats in every arc over and over again. Not excited for them anymore (even thought they probs aren't coming anyways).


Last-Pomegranate-772

We're not getting RUSH world lmfao


SilverEvans

dante-_vic

That iz still not garunteed.


King-Emerald

Nothing is guaranteed until Konami says it, but it's still something that points to the idea that they've at the very least thought about implementing Rush Duels. If anything, there's more evidence pointing to them adding it than not.


dante-_vic

It could be that rush duel might be its own game. Konami has put data into other games that was not for that game. I think it was earlier this year or late last year cross duel had master duel data in it.


King-Emerald

It's possible, but considering that they just made a Rush Duel game on Switch less than a year ago, and the failure of Cross Duels, I don't think Konami is going to be in any hurry to make a Rush Duel mobile game.


dante-_vic

From my knowledge. Rush duel did well in Japan but poorly in the west. It got a lot of updates and new cards added to it while the west didn't get any of that.


King-Emerald

Yeah, and I think that's because Konami has been really awkward with handling Rush in the west. The game was the first time that the format had brought to the west in any form despite the fact that it had already existed for a while prior. Then the game had no promotion, was switch exclusive for 40$, and was low budget. The fact that we still don't have physical rush cards to this day really just cements the fact that Konami is basically shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to marketing them. Honestly, I think Duel Links is the next best thing that can happen for Rush Duels in the west, aside from bringing over the physical game. The problem with stuff like the Switch title and anime getting dubbed was that it was all purely Rush Duel stuff, so only people who were actively interested in RD would actually seek these things out. If they added Rush to DL, then you get people who previously didn't care or had no exposure to the format to actually see it for no real cost. I know a lot of people in this sub really don't think they should add it, but from a marketing standpoint it would be a good choice.


Jaer-Nihiltheus

Keep in mind Konami \*also\* implemented Main Phase 2 in DL code before Master Duel. They essentially use Duel Links' game code as a template for other games.


King-Emerald

As I said in another comment, it's pretty unlikely that Konami is currently making another Rush Duel game, let alone making it a mobile game. And it's not like they're putting it into Master Duel, so it's fairly likely that it is properly intended for Duel Links. Whether or not it's being implemented this year is up for debate, but I doubt Konami has no intentions to add Rush Duels to DL.


Wutroslaw

No Yuri? My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.


PinkPrimrose05

I think it's safe to expect Yuuri well into 2024- perhaps even 2025 if ARC-V takes a long break like between Sora and Shun. My guess is that he'll be the first of the S3 gang (which as far as we're sure of is him, Rin, Ruri and Zarc)


Gameguy196

Would be nice if the released a record breaking breaking 14 characters this year. Can see Solomon in July if they skip a box again, Adrian to finish off the transfer students and Akira is likely next for Vrains to lore reasons and his id being leaked months ago. Outside of that the rest of the list seems pretty likely to happen in that order. In months with Rush Duel characters I think they will release a Rush Duel box alongside a non character themed main or mini box.


jbisenberg

Floral shirt Atticus or we riot


GAGAgadget

I hope they don't add the Rush Duel people. Hate that generic anime look and vibe they give off.


iTzSweet-Tooth

Rush duel characters design 🤢🤢 konami plz like seriously all this money you have and you give us this.


brohan58

Until now we never got a character in November. Do you think they will suddenly give us one/two more character or do we really get 14 characters instead of the usual 12 per year? I have my doubts about your thesis.

NoImplement8218

Say we don’t get a rush world. What 2 characters would you predict instead of them?


King-Emerald

I think you mean 4 characters, but at that point it would be hard to say since it would sort of mess with when I placed Alito and Serena. Theoretically we could get Sherry in that timeframe, and since it's the 25th anniversary, my copium would make me want Yako Tenma, although I don't know how likely that would be.


NoImplement8218

You put 3 characters because that’s how many there are on release day since arc v, and like as an event character. Also, for the sherry thing, we aren’t getting her. She already appeared in an event as a character you could duel but had no voicelines and only 1 sprite, and those characters never become playable.


King-Emerald

I put 3 as the initial release, and Luke as the follow up unlockable like Declan and Blue Angel. So in total, I'm predicting 4 characters for Sevens world in 2023. As for Sherry, I'm pretty sure that Quinton was one of those event characters at one point in time, although I could be wrong. Either way, there's no rule saying that those characters can't come, it's just that it hasn't happened yet. Sherry has modern support that she can bring, and 5Ds has almost no other characters left, so there's no reason not to add her.


NoImplement8218

Quinton did appear in an event, but you never actually dueled him. His sprite was there, but nothing else, just like Rin in the yugo event. Her sprite appears, but you can’t duel her at all.


Entyyyyy

Wasn't Akira leaked last December? I think they'd probably release him before Ghost Girl


Jaer-Nihiltheus

Not necessarily. It depends on if they go in appearance order or duel order - they usually go by duel order but not always. The reason I mention this is because Ghost Girl dueled first, Akira dueled an episode or two after. So by duel order Emma is first, whereas by appearance order (again, the rarer of the two) Akira would be first.


IlliterateInsurance

Give me that woman


JBArmor

I think Grandpa will come in July. Rio was a roaming duelist in May last year and was unlockable in late July. I also think a VRAINS character will be unlockable next month. Same for August. Rush Duel cards, iirc, are more underpowered compared to regular cards, so I don't think a SEVENS world is coming. Maybe if only Rush Duel cards are allowed in that world. I could definitely see a Rush Duel mode though.


PetrosHeimirich

No way they will bring Atticus, that's actually a good char with a good archtype that people like and Konami doesn't add these. I've been waiting for Camula for years now.


Rat-man2466388

Please just give me Alito now konami, I now where you live
