That dark Aichi

[DasherKaito]

It would've been cool to see Aichi use link joker!

Yeah that's an awesome idea, then Aichi would have units that only melee weapons and Reversed colored instruments and books. Now that I said that it would be strange as well.

[Incursio]

Ok seriously though.
I just don't understand how Aichi would be evil plot wise. Unless its not Aichi but is a trap.
Someone give me a good way it could work.

Well, Aichi did go evil when he was under the influence of Psyqualia so I think he could be the final boss if he's being influenced by other big power. Like maybe the Link Jokers cursed him for sending them away.

That would be amazing a Reverse Gold Paladin unit think of the possibility. If that happens they could lock rear guards to... I got no idea really.

Could be something like Lock X cards to get [AUTO]: After this Vanguard attacks, you may search for a Grade 3 nearest to the top of your deck, and ride it as Stand.
It would be like a restander and would still be a Reverse unit while keeping the Gold Paladin theme of summoning the top card.

Pheonix's reason is sound, it would make perfect sense for Sera to use Spikes.

I'd like Aichi to use a dark Royal Paladin deck but it wont happen as it goes against what they stand for, I do see him using a shadow paladin deck though, maybe a PBD legion or a Dictator Legion, prefereably PBD as it would make sense, PBD vs Sing Saver

Maybe an Alfred Re-Birth Unit to match Kai's Overlord The Re-birth?

That would be interesting, but it's effect would be too hard to call and would it be royals or golds?

It would be more similar to 'Liberate the lock' except maybe lock all rearguards like overlord and call new ones on top? lol. 'Reverse the Liberation!!!'

It's Gold Paladin currently it's his favorite plus I can't see him returning to Royal Paladin unless he starts caring about his field formation.
Knowing Aichi he just want to fill up the field to maintain hand advantage and use his vanguard's skill to achieve lots of power. I mean seriously he has Liberator, Monarch Sanctuary Alfred to fill his field and achieve lots of power.

(Sorry about the rant)

true but it wouldn't go with this seasons flow of story, a dark Royal which is what Phoenix suggested would be more plausible and better for the cannon.

Hmm.... What i'm surprised about is that they have all three Paladin clans this season. How will the three encounter at the same time and who will Aichi share a bond with? Between which Paladin clan since he used all three of them before?

I think it's a safe bet to say that he probably wouldn't be using Shadow Paladins since we're already seeing a lot of it with other characters.
I guess it would be neat though if in the end he took all three clans and a made a triple clan deck with a boss card that somehow unites all three of them.

I still hope that Aichi uses Link Joker though at least if/when he's evil.

[Shiro_BLANK]

I bet that dark Aichi is 'protecting' people in the shadows from some kind of evil. And maybe just maybe he's like the sponsor of the Quatre Knights...

Guess imagination has some different level huh :3

[AuraWing]

I think Aichi is still fighting being reversed, a few facts mixed within my logic.

1. When evil Takuto was defeated, all traces of Link Joker where to be destroyed yet Kai was still reversed by choice which means the Void's link with Reverse is too strong to be run through one being and also the old saying "cut the head of the snake..." which could mean Kai, being one of three chosen could have a separate version or source of power from the void, or maybe because he is one of the three it is more permanent due to his level of power.

2. Aichi was NEVER unreversed. I can hear the "Aichi was never reversed" rants coming like a freight train, but yes, Aichi was infact reversed by Kai. Takuto sealed the reversed power within Aichi so that he could defeat Evil Takuto, he didn't remove it, he basically froze it so Aichi was never under the reversed effect and that is why if he lost to reverse again he would die.

My theory.

I think, taking it all into account, Aichi is now partially reversed, with Evil Takuto gone and Aichis strong will, the reversed effect is less than 50% in effect. Not wanting to put a burden or risk on his friends, he sought help from some of the worlds finest in the European Champion Gailard, South American Champion Rattie and possibly the American champion and possibly Australian region champion, whichever Nave and Cera are, I do not know but I imagine they are also regional champions. Nether the less, he sought out these 4 top, world class fighters to guard and protect him, personally I believe they are to protect both Aichi from going out of control and harming his friends and also help find a way to lift the curse of reverse, maybe Takuto freezing the effects of reverse was a bad idea but in the cannon, with both Kai and Aichi reversed and Ren being an anti-hero only wanting to fight Kai and Kai alone, yeah, the world was fucked and it had to be done.

My prediction? honestly I don't know, lets start soley on his deck. There is a valid argument and sufficient evidence for four clans to be used in Gold Paladin, Royal Paladin, Shadow Paladin and Link Joker. Link Joker recieves a trial deck with no information on who uses it leaving a possible Cera/Kourin/Aichi possibility, but the main character of the franchise would never be turned truly evil so LJ can be ruled out, but with Kai leading the way it remains uncertain. Aichi has history with Shadow Paladin and when he turned dark he turned to those last time, but with both Ren and Rattie both using them, an overflow of Shadow Paladin would be bad for other clans although great for Shadow Paladin. Royal Paladins and Gold Paladins have the same reasons, Gailard uses GP and he is viewed as a bad guy, Kai uses RP and is the main protagonist, but the main question is, is Aichi good or evil? not only that, Gailard fights to protect Aichi which in itself is an act of good, Kai fights to save aichi which again, good intentions and both clans symbolise that, if there is a bigger villain (probably the void again) it is a possibility he will use either, it, to me is 50/50 on both of these.
End Game. Now, normally I can see where the series is going but it is too early to tell, my personal guess, not opinion but a guess, is that the void is after Aichi, the QK are protecting him, Kai doesnt realise finding Aichi leads the void to him, and from there I go blank.

Aichi started to feel 'link joker' fade away after he defeated Takuto Reverse. I assume that it has something to do with Kourin.

It is important to remember that even someone who WANTED to remain Reversed, Kai, couldn't keep the power of reverse when it left Earth. So, why in the world would Aichi - someone who in no way wanted to remain reversed - still be reversed.

And at the end, Kai no longer felt like staying 'reversed', but he felt like as link joker faded so did Aichi's existence so Kai thought it was his own fault since he brought despair to the others. Kai being liberated and link joker fading made Aichi fade too.
