In one episode, such a software hack was used to distract the target from the Major breaking in and physically connecting to the local network. But when the characters hack into them, they do it by connecting an intrusion program (which looks sort of like a welding torch) and waiting a while (though it takes only a few seconds of screen time). Firewalls are represented by spheres with shiny, meaningless glyphs on them.Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex:.As silly as it is, everything in this sequence is symbolically representative of real hacking: Lordgenome first breaks through the firewalls, then searches for the file, attempts to open it with a password, fails and uses a brute force decryption, succeeds and downloads the file.Nobody cared about how unrealistic it was in this case because a) it's Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and b) it was hilarious. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has, in Lagann-hen, Lordgenome 's head HAACKIIIING into the Cathedral Terra by having a virtual recreation of his body run down a virtual hallway connecting the ships, then running around virtual corridors to find a box, smashing it open with his head and eating the red sphere inside it.In this case, though, it's because a) they're not using the internet at all, but rather Augmented Reality technology and b) the Augmented Reality subculture in the series is dominated mostly by preteen children, the exact sort of people who would try to make hacking as flashy as possible. In Den-noh Coil, even the least eye-catching examples of hacking look suspiciously like Hermetic Magic and Instant Runes (the more visual ones? They involved rockets).It loses credit for abuse of Extreme Graphical Representation, and gains a bit of it back when Yusaku's use of older versions of duel disks and physical cards is an actual hacker technique. Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS gets credit for showing the viewers that the camera is skipping the long, boring hours spent staring at pages of programming language, and enough appropriately used Techno Babble to show that the writers have probably skimmed a programming book.At one point the access to an important database is hidden inside a duel puzzle arcade machine - the person who thought it up claims that nobody would look for a database there, plus he can slack off at the arcade and claim it's for work. interesting way of shoehorning duels into episodes that otherwise wouldn't have them. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's has a different version rather than passwords, information is hidden behind duel puzzles (a duel-in-progress is presented and you have limited chances to figure out how to win in one turn).This concept is revisited in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, when Yuma's sister Akari attempts to track down and destroy a virus, complete with an RPG-style dungeon and a boss battle. Said computer also points out how Kaiba seems to be pressing the same keys over and over prompting the latter to claim he learned how to hack by watching old episodes of Star Trek.
