āAvoiding one crisis for another Heart of the Card bulls**tā is what I imagined (at 8:40-something pm) Tasuku saying...I tried typing it out, but I canāt in one sentence.
So, in the Different Dimension Time Travel AU where this Tasuku (post-Buddyfight X) goes to canon!CFV (OG Anime) at around ep 1 and lives out the original 4 seasons.Ā
This is sometime in Season 1 and Kai is around. Since Tasuku has a hard-time finding the right Kagero units for his deck (Grade 4s donāt exist yet, so I have time recorrect his deck to only cards that exists at this time o_O), he tries his hand at the Royal Paladins of the time. No Psyqualia (or Winning Image at all) with what he had, but with this deck he challenges Aichi. Psyqualia immediately kicks in and gives him a final outcome (you know, like in-canon Psyqualia) of, say, the main Grade 3 dealing the final critical. In this time, the glowy-eyes is very-much visible and he gets a headache every time itās used for a Final Turn outcome. This is noted of by everyone else.Ā Ā
Near the end, that Grade 3 is taken out of play just before Tasuku could grab it, so he now has to find a different strategy. He steels himself, but he still finds a wa to win in the end.
He is questioned of if that was what Psyqualia has shown him, and he says no. What happened was, basically, what I wrote as the first sentence of this post.Ā
āNope. Psyqualia had shown me a different strategy, but you managed to avert it in time. I had to find a different strategy. It happens sometimes, donāt worry.ā And everyone looked like they had been physically struck; Psyqualia is supposed to be that Evil one-shot KO move, but they just discovered that it doesnāt work sometimes--in this case, Psyqualia was used, but it was averted yet the Psyqualia user still won.Ā Itās unheard of!
Can we just give it nuance like this? Like, notĀ ānerfā it, whatever that means (though I did ask and received the definition, but thatās not the point), but give it something likeĀ āYes, itās broken and OP, but it can backfire, you know. I have other skills in my arsenal, you know!ā type things. K?Ā
In my dream, it was a Kagero deck makeshift mish-mash of Kagero units from different shops that vaguely resemble his strategy--plus some necessary kinks--but we need something different as an example.
It works because heās also Aichiās kid. Whether itās red dragons or blue, shiny knights, he can One Punch with the best ofĀ āem his age. The Royal Paladins come as naturally as the Kagero Clans to Tasuku, and he can adapt as needed (plus Psyqualia (extra connection to the Units, to Cray, etc.) has theĀ āthe cards are talking to meā deal to literally lead him onĀ to find them. Like, the units call him from their packs and he orders those specific packs!)
Really, nice artistry to work with, right???
