G revolution obviously did not give a flying fuck about borg (( now called neo-borg, i mean yes they brought them back but the team was obviously a tool for Kai. Yuriy has a part in the story obv but the other two have nothing.

they barely get any dialogue, characterization, screentime whatever theyre just... there

they were more of a team in the manga but i guess anime wanted to spend all its screentime on kai. so boris and sergei are just cardboard cutouts.

I mean this is very obvious is the G rev debut scene of neo-borg.

Yuriy is battling Sergei and Yuriy says his yabadabadoodoo about his team or whatever but everytime it cuts to sergei.....😭😭😭😭

close up of his face with no dialogue. these screenshots are seconds apart and like. okay this is HILARIOUS the way it just cuts to his face and he says NOTHING. couldnt yall make him say like... one word? just one? you wont die.

also the animation inconsistency is so funny. what the hell happened between those two scenes please😭 looks like they made him lick a lemon or something im dead😭😭😭

honestly wouldve preferred it if they used the exact same shot since he didnt move an inch EITHERRRRR

i could talk about this more but i want to go back to the beginning

so obviously this season dont give a single fuck about these two and back to that eariler picture of them knocked out: wtf happened.

So they get their asses kicked by garland, faint (im guessing , thats literally all i can do), cuts back to Yuriy, episode ends. next episode theyre gone.

Yuriy and garland are in a different location in the next episode. so obviously some time has passed off-screen. so them dissapearing there isnt really a "omg did they forgeeet??😱😱😱😱😱" they couldve been taken to another location

this is where i need to start making shit up.

Yuriy got hospitalized after Garland kicked his ass. But that fight was purposefully dragged out, you could see him literally beating him up in the battle. For sergei and boris, the radiant thunder came quicker. not to mention look at the picture again, their clothes arent torn, no visible injury. i think they simply fainted and woke up not too long after.

and now where the fuck are they...... i mean again g rev doesnt care about these two so obviously it tossed them aside immediately after it had a reason to: they fainted

but where are they in the following episodes? when Yuriy is in the hospital? wouldnt they have visited? i mean i headcannon they did theres nothing in the way of thinking they could have off-screen but the show couldve given us SOMETHING... but no these two are just a tool to them not characters.

this is why i like neo-borg in the manga (i still dont like manga yuriy) because theyre not treated as such

and as for the ending

firstly, this was cut from the english dub. or should i say midglish dub because the english dub SUUUUUUCKS but this being taken out is hilarious. if my native language was english, and i had watched the english dub as a kid, i wouldve 100% assumed they died LOOOOOOL because after they faint you never see them again

anyway for the actual show aka the sub this is there and theyre fine yay everything is happy ivan is there. im surprised they even put this in like wow i thought the writers forgot about these two entirely.

kai and max have one very specific thing in common and it's that they were, as one might put it, nepotism hires, and their not-bba teammates hate them for it. the weird thing here is that neither of these cases are ever actually resolved, the ppb team's distaste for max just kind of Goes Away at some point, and neo-borg as a team has the singular defining trait of being edgy in place of any kind of arc or story.

i'm starting off with max because he's the one i thought about first, and honestly the thing with him is kinda like. after the ppb team seemed to be on decent terms with the main gang by the end of the first season it's definitely like "oh okay so that didn't apply to max apparently", though i think it's pretty safe to say that rick Also being there played a part in it. overall the ppb in g-rev is kind of odd honestly, like i just kind of wonder if something happened during their inexplicable (atleast in-universe) absence during v-force seeing as how one of their members is out due to a broken leg and two other members look completely different. i kind of forgot where i was going here ngl which is why this post is only partially about them, just know i was thinking about this because of the warrior cats au and well. getting mad that a pair of Outsiders TM got a position and you didn't is an extremely warrior cats thing to do. i saw a post the other day about various football-themed names being valid do you think steve would have one of those. next paragraph

anyway would you look at that! the day i finally talk about the fandom-beloved white boys as a whole! speaking of that i'm just gonna start this by saying that like. i swear to god the whole dynamic the fandom gives them was bought from a five below. and that's all i'm saying on their dynamics with anyone besides kai.

moving onto the actual reason i'm talking about neo-borg, i really like, cannot stress enough that kai is Not friends with them or even close. in an ideal world he would have some kind of comradery with yuriy but we do not live in an ideal world, or else people would talk about characters other than neo-borg. we actually get a pretty good idea of the dynamic in s1, and aside from not having someone ordering them around it's basically the same in g-rev. the dynamic in question is that there is a noticeable rift between kai and the others, who only really tolerate him because they have to. kai, meanwhile, doesn't actively dislike them but also doesn't care to try to make things better. i could go on a LOT about what the dynamic could have been, and infact i actually have before so go read that post.
