Yu-Gi-Oh!

Pierre is a short teenager, who wears a blue buttoned suit with orange stars on his arms, a white shirt underneath and a red ribbon tied on his neck. He also wears yellow pants support by two green suspenders, with a belt tying them together at the knees. Pierre also wears orange boots that have question marks printed on them. His hair is mostly purple but with a blond strand shaped like a "Q". Pierre has brown eyes.
Together, Pierre's hair, ribbon and pants form a motif shaped like "Q & A" (question and answer), fitting his quiz theme.

Pierre is very arrogant, vain and rude. He believes himself supreme and perfect because of his great intellect. He laughs and belittles those that cannot answer quizzes properly, or that have no talents at some fields of knowledge, proudly declaring himself flawless. He tends to speak in Quiz jargon using the terms "correct" and "incorrect" while constantly speaking like asking quizzes. He also shows a constant penchant for mockery and often mixes quiz questions with verbal insults.
His overconfidence is his main weakness because during his duel with Yuya, he thought he would defeat him because he had every answer in every question in the action field " Quiz Quest ". But he forgot this is a duel not a quiz. After he lost the duel against Yuya, he became more humble and realized, he has more things to learn.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Lawton appeared in a flashback of Yusei 's, from before his meeting with Sect . One day, Lawton showed up along with a friend. Noticing Yusei's Duel Runner , he challenged him to a Turbo Duel . Yusei kept quiet for a moment, and Lawton teased him, asking if he's afraid of his " Gatling Ogre Deck". Yusei explained that he only desires to face strong Turbo Duelists; Yusei pointed out that Lawton previously lost a Turbo Duel to his friend, so he would face Lawton's friend in a Turbo Duel instead, making Lawton get mad at him.
Some time later, after Yusei became " Satellite 's strongest Duelist", he came to Lawton's group and challenged him to a Turbo Duel; however, neither Lawton nor any of his friends accepted the challenge, saying that they were no match for Yusei and that they wouldn't become his opponent only to satisfy his pride.
Some time later, Yusei saw Lawton defeating Sect Ijuin in a Turbo Duel. When Sect noticed Yusei, he recognized he was "Satellite's strongest Duelist" and challenged him to a Duel. Lawton mocked Sect, saying that he had no chance against him.
Yusei is shown to have become friends with Lawton and his gang some time after meeting Sect. [1]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Lazar is a short, effeminate man who generally resembles a clown, often used as an insult from various other characters. He wears red lipstick, has two red lines running vertically over his eyes, and spiky purple hair. He dresses in a red coat with a black collar and gold trim, underneath a white shirt with gold lining, gloves, and black and gold boots.

Lazar is portrayed as arrogant, and almost egotistical. He is also mildly sadistic, tending to laugh at anyone's misfortune, but only when he has the upper hand. When he doesn't, and he is truly in danger, his attitude changes quickly, and he proves to be little more than a coward. Lazar has a family (which looks exactly like him) whom he deeply cares for, however.
Lazar does not seem to get along with Mina Simington , as seen by them bickering while watching Jack Duel Yusei (this is even more so in the dub). [2]
Lazar had a Duel with Crow Hogan , as Crow mistook Lazar as one of the Dark Signers . This was because Crow tries to find out what Lazar was really after. [3] He was shown to be impressed with Crow's way of fooling him into attacking, commenting "How interesting. To think there existed Duelists such as yourself amongst the Satellite rats." [4]
He is shown to be extremely fond of cup ramen, helping himself to one of Jack's while stealing an engine program that Yusei and Bruno were working on [5] and even got distracted by it instead of trying to keep evading Yusei and the others. [6] He is emotional about cup ramen just like Jack. [7]
Lazar is shown to be highly afraid of Jack when he is angry [8] to the point that he contemplated whether or not he should escape with his family before Jack catches him when the MC thought Jack crashed. [9]
He is shown to look down on regular Sector Securities, as he calls Officer Trudge a street beat cop.
Lazar had a major change of attitude after his short time living with Team 5D's and witnessing first hand the danger Iliaster posed against New Domino City. Lazar vowed to fight against Iliaster his own way by taking the position of Director of Sector Security despite knowing that it would put his life in danger.
Once he took the position of Director, Lazar proved to be a valuable ally to Team 5D's. He cleaned the corruption within Sector Security and used his new influence to assist Team 5D's defeat of Team New World. Lazar learned to value Sector Security officers and put the safety of New Domino over his own. During the Divine Temple crisis, Lazar opted to prioritize the safety of the citizens and refused to leave his position knowing he would die if the Divine Temple wasn't stopped.
Once Iliaster was stopped for good, Lazar had become a popular and well liked enough figure that he was elected as New Domino City's first mayor.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Lazar is a short, effeminate man who wears red lipstick and has light purple hair. He dresses in an opulent red costume with a black collar and gold trim.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Sherry has long blond hair reaching past her waist with bangs that curl away from her face in a horizontal direction and has emerald color eyes. Her Turbo Duel uniform is white with red accents that run along the outside of her arms, down the outside of her legs, and wrap around her calves. She also wears a red undershirt. Her uniform also consists of grey shoulder, knee, elbow, and shin guards, while she wears charcoal colored padding over her chest. Her helmet is also red with gold accents near the crown that run from front to back, while the open-mouthed mouth protector is grey, with an orange visor.
Since her defection to Z-one , Sherry's uniform has now changed radically from her old attire. It now consists of a black and white scheme that inverts from both sides of her suit, with grey pauldrons instead of shoulder pads and a black lining with white laces down the middle of her body. Her undershirt remains the same though.

Sherry has a fixation on getting vengeance against Iliaster due to them having killed her parents [3] . To this end, she can be very ruthless in doing so, such as grabbing a person and throwing them out of a building [4] However her anger towards Iliaster vanishes when their leader shows her the ruined future caused by Ener-D [5] , deciding to aid them in return that her family is brought back as well [6] She shows remorse and cries after Akiza and Crow defeat her, realizing her mistake and sides with Team 5D's again. [6] She displays new resolve when Z-one questions Sherry cooperating with Team 5D's, saying the past cannot be changed and that she's going to live for the future. [7]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Sherry is shown to be a serious person who believes Duels can't be fun. She is also shown to be ruthless on her conquest to defeat Akiza Izinski for leaving Duel Academy Sanctuary .


Yu-Gi-Oh!

The Legendary Signer appears as a tall, well-built man with dark tanned skin, numerous red feathers adorning his body (three on his upper arms, three on his ankles, and three on his head), large golden hoop earrings, a black cloth wrapped around his waist as a loincloth, white bandages (on his upper arms, his head and his left thigh) to hold his feathers in place, golden anklets, golden gauntlets, a golden neck brace and a tribal necklace featuring large aqua blue oval-shaped gems. The most striking features of his appearance, however, are a small oval-shaped orange gem in the middle of his forehead, the full Mark of the Dragon on his left pectoral, a pair of scarlet stripes (parallel to each other) above his eyebrows, below his eyes and along his nose, his head, which is elongated (as seen when he appears over Jack) and his eyes, which are pinkish-red sclerae that feature no visible irises or pupils.

Not much is know of the Legendary Signer's behavior, but from what can be gathered based on his few actions, he appears to have a very serious, no-nonsense personality.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Leichter is tall and has brown hair, brown mustache and beard and dark skin.  His business suit is purple. In the Virtual World, he takes the appearance of Jinzo .

Leichter seems to be loyal, as he helped raise Seto Kaiba and always performed his appropriate duties as Kaiba's right-hand man, although he may have only done this in the hope to gain more power. Leichter is more virtuous than the other Big Five members, as he was morally opposed to Seto Kaiba's deceitful schemes, while the other members often engaged in similar behavior. Despite this, he says he doesn't believe in playing fair, when he went back on his word to return Tristan's body. He is also very polite.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Leo's outfit is similar to his sister's ; it consists of a short-sleeved white jacket over a sleeveless dark blue shirt with golden markings that differ from Luna's shirt. He also wears white shorts with a dark blue belt and blue sneakers of the same color. Leo also has a bracelet on each wrist, and his blue-green hair is pulled into a single, high ponytail with two shoulder-length bangs on both sides of his face but when he doesn't wear it up (like when he's sleeping) it looks like Luna's in the same situation. He carries a Duel Disk with a blue and white trim on his left arm, which was originally too big to fit until Yusei modified it. While on his Duel Board , Leo would wear a blue and yellow helmet, blue pads for his elbow and knees with black and blue gloves.
On formal occasions, he wears a blue suit with a white shirt and blue bowtie under the jacket, and black loafers with white, knee-high socks. When he's sleeping, he wears light blue pajamas. When at school, he wears the Duel Academy boys uniform with a green backpack.

Leo is a lively character (in the dub he is very carefree and acts dumbly), but is shown to get serious when the situation calls for it. Occasionally he will doubt his skill but his sister Luna always looks towards him for encouragement. He started off as cocky and sure of himself, but became more mature and careful as the series progressed.
He is also shown to be very perceptive in season 2, as he immediately felt something was not right about Lester even when he had not acted suspicious yet. [9] He is also shown to not hold grudges against those who harm his sister if they change their ways, such as with Aporia . [10]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Leo's outfit is similar to his sister's; it consists of a short-sleeved white jacket over a sleeveless dark blue shirt with golden markings that differ from Luna's shirt. He also wears white shorts with a dark blue belt and blue sneakers of the same color. Leo also has a bracelet on each wrist, and his blue-green hair is pulled into a single, high ponytail with two shoulder-length bangs on both sides of his face. Whilst controlled by the miasma of " Power Tool Mecha Dragon ", he often displays an evil expression on his face. After his first Duel with Yusei, Leo's face features a bandage as he sustained an injury.

While under the influence of the miasma of " Power Tool Mecha Dragon ", Leo is quite sadistic. This is shown when he enjoyed crushing D1 Grand Prix Duelists with his and Luna's Duel Dragons or when he sat back and watched as two bystanders were almost killed by a stray missile fired by his Duel Dragon during a Duel. [4] Although this is said, Leo has a soft side, especially when Luna is involved and he will do anything to help her (as shown with his participation in Turbo Duels in order to raise funds to pay for her medicine). Leo also often gets into arguments with Luna over her teasing him or with Crow Hogan who usually mocks Leo for his size. However after " Power Tool Mecha Dragon " was purified by " Stardust Spark Dragon ", he was returned to his original personality.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Lester is a young boy about the age of Leo and Luna . He is skinny, has green eyes, pale, and while short, he is tall for the age group he is portrayed as being. He has waist-length, dark red hair, keeping it pulled back by wrapping end in a black cloth. Qualities that he shares with the other two Nobles is that he wears primarily white and has a white hood. In addition, he has a gray patch (which covers his left eye), and a blue gem in the middle of his forehead.

Linework when dueling.

Unique to Lester though is in addition to white, he wears blue and green colors, most notably blue in-line skates as oppose to shoes or boots. His most unique attribute to his appearance though is a bar that floats around him at his shoulder height, which he uses as a Duel Disk and can connect to the metal collar he wears through the infinity symbol on the front when he activates it or to a disk he can attach to his right arm. Most of the time, Lester wears a white cloak over his Duel Disk when he is not using it.

Linework as a Duel Academy Student.

The only time Lester's appearance has significantly changed was when he went undercover at Duel Academy. Other than donning a Duel Academy uniform instead of his Iliaster wardrobe, he also took his patch off his left eye, hid the blue gem on his forehead, and instead pulled his hair back in one long braid.

Lester is mischievous and likes stirring up and thriving in chaos. Excitable and constantly amused by most situations that should be taken serious, Lester acts with childish traits. However, his childishness can go a little too far as he is smug and considers himself above humanity similar to the other Nobles. He believes being chosen by God is a serious responsibility and one given to Iliaster because of humanity's inability to grasp the bigger picture beyond the individual's personal life.
He holds an arrogant self-view, striding to be in control of a situation, resulting in his actions and Dueling with the intent of controlling the opposition's actions and keeping the upper hand. The only person that appears to be able to keep Lester's attitude in check is Jakob , who is intimidating to Lester. However, while Lester follows Jakob's commands, he is not afraid to bend the rules for his amusement or sneak his own interests in, especially when he is clear of the consequences. Most notably, his attitude towards Primo 's plan to force the Grand Design is that of amusement, or more distinctly, apathy. He doesn't care one way or the other so long as the end goal of completing the Circuit is fulfilled.
Underneath his childish and conceited attitude though is a violent temper. When control of a situation is pulled from him, even if not completely, Lester becomes ruthless, sadistic, loud, and willing to put aside any other intentions to obliterate whoever got in his way or whatever went wrong.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

The Great Leviathan's size varies; during the Battle of Atlantis, the Great Leviathan appeared to be smaller than it was when it was revived 10,000 years later. After its revival, the Leviathan was large enough to wrap around the island of Atlantis twice, and it dwarfed the Egyptian Gods; its head was around the size of the average God monster. If so, it could have been due to not having as many souls to empower it the first time, as Dartz stated that he had collected millions of souls by the time of the Leviathan's resuscitation and could not have been able to claim as many from the Atlantean populace alone. It could also potentially be due to the Leviathan being weakened from the prolonged hostilities (it was noted that there was more than one battle during the Atlantis conflict). As Critias and Hermos were not present during the flashback, it was assumed that they were defeated and sealed prior to the final battle.
The Great Leviathan is a purple serpent with a pink belly. It has ruffles of teal fur over its body, including its forked tail and as its membranes. Its massive head has long jaws with an underbite and simple teeth; two small, pink mandibles protrude midway along the bottom jaw. The head and bottom of the lower jaw are coated with a grey carapace; the crest has six spikes, five pointing back and one pointing forwards. The Leviathan has small yellow eyes; Dartz exhibited these when he was merged with it.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Lightning, like his fellow Ignis, is a small, digital humanoid being. Outside the physical form, his body is made of yellow prism-like data and he has darker yellow eyes. His physical form is a light lemon yellow with dandelion yellow diamond markings. He has an oval shaped head with two strands pointing in opposite directions. His eyes are neon green and more circular compared to Flame's eyes, giving him a more youthful look. Stature-wise, he is the fourth tallest Ignis, being shorter than Ai , Flame , and Earth .

According to Ai, Lightning is calm, cool, and collected and is a natural leader. However, Ai concedes he cannot understand what he is thinking. He's shown to be cold, calculating, manipulative, and deceptive, having reprogrammed Windy to help him overthrow humanity, believing the Ignis to be far superior to humans. He is also not above turning on his own comrades as he lured Ai into his trap and was willing to reprogram him to serve his own needs. He also has a twisted sense of Dr. Kogami's purpose in creating the Ignis, as rather than guide humanity, he and Windy want the Ignis to reign supreme while humans are put under their control.
Lightning also shows little to no remorse for his fellow Ignis. He was willing to overwrite Ai's programming, attempted to capture Flame with no explanation, imprisoned Aqua, and let the Knight of Hanoi attack Windy, only saving the latter after Ai called out to him. After Windy's loss to Soulburner, Lightning showed little concern regarding Windy's termination and didn't respond to Windy's plea to save him, showing complete apathy towards his own kind.
Lightning doesn't understand the bond between Ignis and their originators, believing the latter are nuisances that will corrupt the former, which is why he wants to place humans under his control. He also lacks the empathy and kindness to humans and Ignis that is evident in Flame, Ai and Aqua since he lacked human instinct and only thought rationally. It was why he initially had Harlin be Bohman's brother to support him emotionally until the latter evolved enough, which then made Lightning demote Harlin to Bohman's servant. Lightning is also very stubborn minded in his views on humans, calling Ai and Flame error codes for supporting humans. As stated by Flame, Lightning doesn't tolerate dissent against his opinions, as was seen when he imprisoned Ai, Playmaker, and Aqua when they went against him. He even admitted to tormenting Jin and was the source of his trauma, due to enjoying seeing his reactions. He also was willing to infect his creator, Kiyoshi Kogami with a virus that eventually lead to his death, showing how much he hated his creator.
Whilst dueling, Specter correctly insinuates that Lightning's arrogance is caused by a complex which he hasn't shared with anyone. He was so arrogant that he kept underestimating Playmaker when he thought Cal Kolter would win against the former, similar to Windy's case with Soulburner . Varis confirmed that Lighting's arrogance and actions indeed spur from an inferiority complex as Spectre theorized, born after witnessing simulations that predicted him as the only member of the Ignis that would be unable to develop a bond with humans and whose actions would cause mutual destruction for both races. Jealous that he would be the only outcast of the Ignis, he caused ruin and misery to his fellow comrades only so they all could be reborn as one where Lightning no longer is inferior. As noted by Ai, Lightning's schemes were completely selfish, and ironically produced the exact result of him being the sole Ignis responsible for harming both Ignis and Humans that the simulations suggested.
Lightning's supremacist views run very deep, as seen when he, normally calm, collected and logical, can become extremely angry when a human proves to be more than a match to him, as seen with Shepherd and Spectre. He also became shocked when he learned that Cal anticipated Lightning's blackmail plan, as he was in utter disbelief that a human could predict him. Ai also called out Lightning for claiming that his own defects and inferiorities apply to all of the Ignis as a whole when it was actually only him who doubted humanity whereas the rest of the Ignis just wanted a peaceful life.
Similar to Specter, Lightning is also cowardly, as seen in his duel with Varis, as he takes Jin, and Specter 's as a hostage and threatens to destroy him should Lightning lose, mirroring what Specter did with Akira against Playmaker. He was willing to do anything to win a duel, the best example of this is when he converted Jin's consciousness data to extra LP to avoid losing during his duel with Varis.
His actions truly distinguish him as the most malevolent and malicious of the Ignis. However, in spite of all  this, according to Bohman, for all his flaws he was the most human of the Ignis because of his unflinching will to survive and defy what the simulations destined him to become through any means necessary. His actions also make him the Ignis with the most free will.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Lilly is a blue litterbot that wears Tori Meadows ' ribbon on one side of its green protrusions.

Lilly is one of the few sentient robots in the series, but is limited in speech and emotion compared to Orbital 7 . According to Tori , she is a female robot. As with most litterbots , it tends to say "cleaning" and "garbage" a lot. It tends to call Yuma "Trash" in several ways, namely "Hetakuso", which in English means "extreme clumsiness", roughly translating it to "clumsy", which often makes him mad. (In the dub, she instead tells him he "stinks", which may or may not be referring to his hygiene.)


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Luna's usual outfit is similar to her brother Leo 's, consisting of a light pink short-sleeved jacket over a long-sleeved red shirt with golden markings. She also wears light purple shorts with a red belt and sneakers with black and pink markings and high socks. She has gray-gold eyes just like her brother.
On formal occasions, Luna wears a pink dress, a white cardigan and a pink ribbon below her neck. When she's sleeping, she wears pink pajamas with a nightcap. When at school, she wears the Duel Academy academy girls uniform with a red backpack.

Lineart.
Luna's lineart for after the timeskip (bottom right).

Luna's green hair is done up in two high ponytails on either side of her head with two shoulder-length bangs on both sides of her face. Her Duel Disk has a pink and white trim. It was modified by Yusei to fit her left arm. While on her Duel Board , Luna would wear a pink and orange helmet, pinks pads on her elbows and knees and red gloves with a pink stripe in the middle.
After the timeskip she grows her hair out and forgoes the ponytail and wears a pink blouse and sandals with white shorts.

Luna is a very polite, kind and sweet young girl. She does occasionally criticize her brother (more often in the dub), but deeply cares for him. [6] [7] She also has shown to be quite intelligent and calculating in her Duels [8] [9]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Luna's usual outfit is similar to her brother Leo's, consisting of a light pink short-sleeved jacket over a long-sleeved red shirt with golden markings. She also wears light purple shorts with a red belt and sneakers with black and pink markings and high socks. She has gray-gold eyes just like her brother. Unlike her anime counterpart , she chooses to wear her hood up with her hair down, often making her face covered with only her glowing eyes revealed. Luna also carries around a stuffed " Kuribon " doll which usually expresses her emotion. After losing to Yusei, she wears her hair in pigtails. [4] While under the influence of the miasma of " Ancient Pixie Dragon ", Luna's skin began to crack and the white of her eyes turned black. [5]

Originally, Luna was a frail and vulnerable child who relied on medicine and her brother to live. After acquiring her Duel Dragon from Lazar , Luna became more reserved and lonely, often insulting Leo and his actions. She's also shown to harbor a controlling side as she threatened Leo if her " Forest " monsters were destroyed. [1] During her Duel with Yusei, the miasma of " Ancient Pixie Dragon " turned Luna into a violent person, even as far as making her take control of Leo after he broke free from his Duel Dragon's control. It's also shown through how she treated Leo's Duel Dragon, decapitating it and equipping it with explosives, not caring about the Spirit's feelings. After she is defeated, Luna returns to her original kind personality. [4]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

" Luna " translates to "moon" in a number of languages descended or borrowing from Latin, which features " lūna ". In ancient Roman religion and myth, Luna is the divine embodiment of the Moon. In the manga, when Luna first meets Shark , she introduces herself as "a messenger from the moon". Her Moon-style Deck , D-Pad and Duel Gazer refer to these facts.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Upon first awakening in the anime, he was wearing the original outfit of Marik, including a light purple sleeveless hoodie, black pants and black shoes, but wore most of his normal clothes underneath the hoodie in the manga. Yami Marik's usual outfit consists of a long purple cape with a gold chain, and the black sleeveless tank top and beige pants from the manga, making the whereabouts of his new clothes a trivial mystery. He wears golden earrings, neckwear, armbands and bracelets. His hair is spiked upwards and points in all directions, though he retains the same wing-like fringes of Marik's hair, and since he picked up the Millennium Rod , which he keeps in his belt while not carrying it, he bears the Eye of Anubis on his forehead. After he defeats Yami Bakura , he takes the Millennium Ring , wearing it around his neck for the remainder of the tournament, but concealing it beneath his tank top until he reveals it to Yami Yugi during their Duel.
While Dueling, faint, ghastly images of his face frequently stretch out from his head. As the series progressed, visible veins slowly start to appear on his face. In the Battle City arc, he wears a KaibaCorp Duel Disk on his left arm. As he is merely a split personality of the normal Marik, unlike Yami Yugi and Yami Bakura, who are both entirely different entities from their associated hosts in their own right, Yami Marik's facial structure is exactly the same as Marik's, though the similarities are offset by the differences outlined above.

Yami Marik is a person of pure cruelty, wickedness, and insanity who cares for no one but himself, as he was born of hate, anger, and envy. Yami Marik ruthlessly murdered his father , and was constantly trying to kill Odion for being a hindrance to his existence in the outside, and threatened Ishizu with death for hiding their brother.
Yami Marik showed no interest in Yami Yugi 's or Seto Kaiba 's pasts, something which his alter ego wanted to know. In addition, while Marik's goal of becoming the new Pharaoh was fueled by a personal enmity towards the Pharaoh particularly, Yami Marik didn't seem to have any goal except for spreading pain and suffering in the world, and also having his own life in the real world, because he has no desire to be sealed away and he considers himself the "true" Marik. In the dub however, he shares Marik's goal of taking the Pharaoh's power and world domination in addition to his sadistic desire to spread pain. Before his death, he tried to reason with Marik saying that they could rule the world together; however, given his personality, he was merely trying to convince Marik to free him from his predicament.
Yami Marik lacks empathy and is highly sadistic; building his Deck around torture-themed cards, and using his shadow powers to manifest them into reality, painfully hurting his opponents for his own pleasures. However, he relies heavily upon his dark powers - particularly their role in winning his Duels, since he would have lost his Duel against Mai Valentine right away if it wasn't for her attempting to Summon " The Winged Dragon of Ra ", only to be given Ra's Sphere Form. In his Duel against Joey Wheeler , he would have lost if Joey had not collapsed from exhaustion because of the torturing of "Ra" when Marik used its Egyptian God Phoenix effect. During his last Duel, he even stated that he got the most twisted pleasure from torturing Yami Yugi.
In Noah Kaiba 's Virtual World fortress, Yami Marik demonstrated a high degree of recklessness, as he destroyed the fortress' computer, which was the only way of stopping the missile that was programmed to fire at the building; his only care being the destruction that it would cause, and he was subsequently seen to be greatly enjoying the frantic escape on the airship.
Despite his cruelty and evil personality, he valued his own life dearly; he tried to murder Odion so he would not be sealed back in Marik's body, and pleaded for Marik to help him win against Yugi after Marik was able to regain control of his body. Still, he shows traits of a masochist as well, especially in the Japanese version of his Duel against Joey. For example, after his " Gil Garth " was destroyed and its pain was transferred to him, he laughed psychotically and stated that he was enjoying the feeling. Though certainly reliant to a degree on his shadow powers during a Duel, Yami Marik was by no means an incompetent Duelist; planning ahead in case Yami Yugi survived the attack of "Ra" by using his Egyptian God Slime to complete his strategy of immortality and do a follow-up with " Jam Defender " to make it the only monster Yugi could attack (thanks to its ability to regenerate); he also knew more about the abilities of "Ra" than Marik and he outwitted his alter ego and Yami Bakura by changing most of the cards in his Deck.
Yami Marik is shown have difficulty with advanced technology (his Duel Disk notwithstanding) during the Virtual World arc as he was having trouble with a security pass-code when he pressed it, only to be denied.
Yami Marik considers himself the "true" Marik, though he largely does not consider himself part of the Ishtar family, referring to Ishizu and his father as Marik's rather than his, barring his first emergence where he killed Ishtar. He also explains the pain of Marik's past as if it were his own, though he did not actually experience the events himself; he merely birthed from them, and in the Japanese version, he laughs after recounting it, explaining that it is the trauma that dominates Marik.

Masa is a stocky fair-skinned boy with short brown hair in three spikes, and brown eyes. He wears a cream-coloured shirt a sleeveless blue jacket, orange pants, and black boots. Like his fellow Newspaper Club members, he constantly carries around his journalist equipment and wears a yellow and black armband on his left bicep; Masaru carries a microphone.

Masa claims that he is devoted to the truth, but his questions can be provocative when he is giving interviews. [1]

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Dennis has bright curly red hair hanging down to his chin in crumpled spikes, green eyes, and a beauty mark below his right eye. He wears an odd ensemble of clothes, a long-sleeved blue collared shirt with a purple bow tie around his neck, and an orange jacket on top of that missing the right sleeve and with a shortened hang on the right side, as well as a black glove on his left hand, and dark pants and red shoes. His unique clothing with two different sides possibly foreshadows his actual task as a double agent, working for both the Lancers and the Academy. He keeps his Duel Academy pin hidden under his collar.
During Turbo Duels , Dennis wears an orange and grey jumpsuit with a maroon helmet.

Dennis is described as a well-rounded and charismatic individual with a sense of humor, yet can also be serious at times. As an admirer of Yusho Sakaki he runs a Deck that seems to mirror his and Duels as a Dueltainer , thus he is often flashy and enjoys performing acrobatics. When excited he seems to be rather air-headed and tends to forget about anything else at the moment, as seen when he wanted to talk to Yuya since he is the son of Yusho and enjoyed his Dueling, only to be interrupted in the still ongoing Duel by the Bandit Warrior Academy students' offensive, forcing him to block their attempts at damage while showing comical frustration at their interference. This doesn't, however, prevent him from being distracted when he spots the Obelisk Force while attempting to make a move in his Duel against Celina. Despite his penchant to gather attention to himself as an entertainer, he does not seem to mind sharing the spotlight since he took the opposing attacks himself in favor of Yuya doing the honors, believing him more adequate for "the finale". This sense of modesty is also seen after his defeat against Shay Obsidian , where he admits that Shay won.

Dennis' darker personality.

After he is revealed to be associated with Duel Academy, his personality remains largely the same, unlike Sora Perse . Dennis demonstrates a degree of regret when Halil and Olga encountered him and Yuri , as he knows what Yuri will likely do to them, but at the same time, makes no move to stop him or the Obelisk Force . He pragmatically avoids his identity being compromised during the Battle Royal and internally panics when he thinks that Declan Akaba has found him out. Despite this he was still willing to work with the Lancers in stopping Duel Academy , possibly in order to keep his cover.
Dennis truly enjoys being an entertainer, and seems to like spending time with his fellow Lancers. Nevertheless, he is loyal to his dimension's cause and despite knowing the consequences, he green-lit the Invasion of the Xyz Dimension after discovering Lulu .
Despite this, he can be just as cruel and sadistic as several Duel Academy agents, vowing to destroy Shay slowly before his second Duel with him began. He showed noticeable annoyance and anger at Shay for "taking off his mask" as the Duel progressed, and after being forced into a corner, Dennis reveals his true colors and his usual cheerful tone becomes more maniacal while declaring it a "Hunting Game".
After his final defeat, he is approached by Yusho, who says that his Duel brought a lot of smiles, and he can bring more if he rejoins the Lancers . Dennis, feeling guilty for his betrayal against the Lancers, refused. But he is still a good loser, fulfilling Kite's demand as well as Rin 's location. As per his loss, he cannot return to the Professor, and carries out one last thrilling show by carding himself.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Tori is a young girl with dark green hair with lighter green bangs, orange or hazel eyes and she seems to look a lot like Mrs. Meadows (Tori's mother). She usually keeps her hair tied into a side bun. She wears a school girl outfit with a pink collar and skirt. When out of school, she mainly wears a white t-shirt with a yellow stripe decal, pink skirt, long black knee length socks and white shoes. Her secondary outfit is a pink and fuschia dress with her knee length socks and fuschia shoes. In The Sparrow, Part 2 , Tori is seen wearing a small pink starry hoodie with a white skirt in the hoodie with a bracelet on her right arm, a jean skirt and white socks with a pinkish-red line on the end, but it is unknown if she is wearing her sneakers when she is called by Yuma to get Mrs. Andrews to the area. In her shopping attire, she wears a blue jacket over a white skirt and sandals. In the dub, she has a longer skirt than in the original. However, the "Characters" page for ZEXAL on the 4Kids website showed Tori's skirt in its original size.

Tori's skirt in the original (left) and in the dub (right).

She has also been noted to wear several different outfits when she goes out with Yuma. During the Heartland Academy fun fair, Tori wore a " Gagaga Girl " cosplay (in the dub, her cosplay was altered to have the International "Gagaga Girl" appearance).
During a shopping trip with Rio in Spartan City , Tori bought a new casual outfit consisting of a dark pink sleeveless shirt with frills over her shoulders, short white shorts and brown gladiator sandals.

Tori is a very cheerful girl with the ability to manipulate computers, as demonstrated when Flip framed Yuma and she discovered the whole fiasco. She is protective and fiercely loyal to Yuma, as shown in episode 5 when she believed in him despite the fact that there was "undeniable evidence" against him and how she never laughed at Yuma when he challenged the impossible; she admires his unwavering will and determination of constantly challenging himself.
Despite the fact that Tori sometimes gets annoyed by Yuma's naivety and childish outbursts, she appears to harbor a deep crush on Yuma, evidenced by how she blushes and becomes slightly angered when Yuma talks about Cathy (as well as arguing with her over him) or when she smiles at Yuma's antics. Tori is also shown to worry about Yuma's safety when hearing that the " Number " cards are dangerous. [3]
After Yuma starts to give up hope when the Emperor's Key is stolen, Tori is so worried about Yuma that she helps him get back to his senses by slapping him. This sense of worry increases greatly when she screams out Yuma's name in despair, thinking he didn't make it out of Kite's hideout when it exploded. When he appeared, she cycled through being happy and annoyed, tears in her eyes the whole time. [4]
She also blushes when Yuma grabs her hand as the two of them run away from Anna , or when Anna talks about her feelings for Yuma. [5] The latter is accompanied by the sound of a heavy heartbeat when Tori's shocked face is shown.
When Tombo Tillbitty said he wanted to make Tori the image girl of the tomato amusement park he wanted to create (an idea of which Tori clearly wasn't very fond of) Yuma stepped in and said he would not let that happen showing a hint of jealousy of Tombo's interest in her, making Tori blush and touched that he cares for her. When it turned out that he just had an extreme aversion to tomatoes, she was a bit disappointed. Also in the same episode, there are slight hints that Tori cooks meals for Yuma too, given from some of their conversations. [6] In episode 51, she appears to have low tolerance for roller coasters, or at least moving on very high speeds indicated by how she was screaming during acceleration, holding on to Yuma's arm and telling him to slow down.

Tori gets up, resolving to continue.

Tori is also shown to have an extremely strong resolve and can be unrelenting at times. One example of this is during Yuma's Duel with Fender , as she is knocked down several times as she tries to return the Emperor's Key to Yuma, however she always got back up again in order to help Yuma.
Like Yuma, she is very forgiving towards others, trying to reach out to Vector, and does not display anger even when Vector decieved them. [7]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Haruno is a brown-haired woman with fair skin. She wears a necklace, a dark jacket, and a white shirt underneath. Mihara has blue eyes.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Bastion's usual outfit consists of the standard Ra Yellow. His black hair is neatly arranged, with a large portion flushed back and slightly to his left, featuring different layers where the sloping changes direction. He carries an Academy-issued Duel Disk on his left hand.

Bastion is an intelligent, precise, stern Duelist with a genius-level intellect. His Deck was built with a formula that he made. In the anime, despite his keen intellect, Bastion later develops something of an inferiority complex in the latter half of the second season when other characters pay less attention to him as compared to the first season. He ends up going along with the Society of Light on the promise that joining the group will return him to the spotlight, but later leaves the organization of his own volition and is the only character shown on screen to leave the Society of Light under their own will power without having to first be defeated in a duel.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

While in his Barian form, Mizar has a decidedly alien mask-like face with a wing prodding out the left side, and piercing blue eyes, similar to Vetrix . He wears white arm guards, as well as boots of the same color adorned with white gems and a bronze-colored sarong with white plating that have green gems in addition to having yellow skin, horned shoulders, and long blond-orange hair. He also wears his Barian Emblem hanging from his chest in the shape of a caduceus. He is also the second tallest of the Emperors after Girag .

Mizar's human form. Full view of Mizar's human form.

In his human form, Mizar's hair is lighter and has his wing-shaped extension as a part of his hair. He also wears a long golden earring on the left side of his hair, attached to a smaller wing. He also has red markings on his cheeks and above his eyes. Unlike Girag and Alito , Mizar does not wear a school uniform; he instead wears white pants and long-sleeved shirt underneath a gray vest with long gray gloves, both of which have wings. In addition, his Barian Emblem appears as a pendant and his boots are gray and adorned with green gems, which are also seen on his vest. Following his revival after Yuma Tsukumo and Astral 's ceremonial Duel, Mizar attends Heartland Academy as a third-year student, thus wearing the standard blue-lined uniform, blue pants and brown shoes.

Concept art of Mizar

In his past life, he lacked his facial marks and has a golden necklace, a large gold shoulder plate on his left shoulder with a golden gauntlet, a golden wing-shaped armband on his right arm, white robes underneath with a diamond pattern on the left side of the torso and golden stripes on the other and was tied with a green sash at the midsection. Mizar also carried a sword.

Mizar is prideful and arrogant as being a " Galaxy-Eyes " master, shown when he obtained his Over-Hundred Number through a blank card , despite the monster's tremendous power. Due to this he eventually develops a rivalry with Kite Tenjo , being the only other known "Galaxy-Eyes" master in order to prove who is the superior. [6] Unlike Girag and Alito , Mizar is shown to be straightforward and serious, as when he arrived on Earth , he began his mission right away - giving Girag and Alito their Barian Sphere Cubes , and then moving on to find Yuma Tsukumo - whereas the other two remained distracted with their antics, to which he chastises the two for letting them get in the way of their goal. However, he seems to enjoy showcasing his powers, as Alito stated his entrance was "overly flashy". [7]
However, his pride has shown to be somewhat fragile, as he was extremely furious at Trey and Quinton for stealing his " Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon " and blocking his attempt to summon its upgraded form, clenching his fists while claiming it was the first time that he had received such an insult and berating the siblings. He is also somewhat hasty when he is angered, as shown when he used Chaos Draw to draw " Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One ", before realizing it was useless to him in his current situation. [3]
Due to his arrogance, Mizar is shown to be obstinate at times, as he refused to believe from both Dumon and Jinlon that he and his comrades were humans once, although this subsides if evidence is given against him. He was also somewhat reluctant to abandon his second Duel with Kite when the power released by ZEXAL II damaged Sargasso . In his final Duel against Kite, he stubbornly refused to believe that his "Tachyon Dragon" was part of a curse created by Don Thousand , and that his dragon would not betray him. [8]
In spite of his arrogance, Mizar does show a level of concern and respect for his fellow Barians , as revealed when he saw Alito injured. [9] He showed much anger and hatred towards Vector for his mocking of Alito and Girag and had to be physically restrained by Dumon to prevent him from attacking Vector. [10] He also maintains a strong sense of honor, much like Alito, refusing to use " Sargasso Lighthouse " in his rematch with Kite, calling it a "coward's card". [11] In his past life, he was fiercely loyal and held a strong friendship with his dragon. [12] Mizar has also displayed a degree of respect and mercy for his foes as he allowed Quinton and Trey to say their goodbyes to Yuma before defeating them and sending them to the Barian World , referring to them as "proud brothers". [1] Likewise he also mourned Kite's death at the end of their final Duel despite their fierce, bitter rivalry. [8]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yugi's character design was overseen by Kazuki Takahashi . His normal outfit consists of the standard male Domino Junior/Senior High uniform complete with a closed buckled collar. His extremely extravagant hair features multiple layers including long blond crooked, pointy locks for his fringe; the rest features a set of five large spikes and two smaller spikes colored black with a magenta sheen along the edges. So far, he is the only character in the franchise to have his hair divided into three colors. He wears the Millennium Puzzle on a lace around his neck. The lace is later replaced with a chain. He often wears a KaibaCorp Duel Disk on his left arm.
When he played Dungeon Dice Monsters against Duke Devlin , he wore a black long-sleeved shirt, a gray sleeveless vest, dark blue pants, and black shoes.
When he and Téa took a day together to find out about the Millennium Puzzle , he wore a black linen shirt and several pieces of wrist-chains, along with a pair of leather pants.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters , Yugi wore a different attire of a violet jacket and jeans. He also wore the Capsule Shooter on his left arm. In Episode 4, he gained a Duel armor that allowed him to become one with one of his capsule monsters.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX , Yugi went through noticeable development. While physically resembling Atem, he is much taller and has a lean-built frame. During this time, Yugi's present-day eyes are not directly shown.

Yugi is kind-hearted and child-like. He is good at games, riddles, and puzzles, especially Duel Monsters . As Shadi stated when he looked into Yugi's Soul Room, he has no malice or wickedness in his heart. [9] This doesn't mean he cannot get angry at someone, but is willing to forgive them.
Yugi is also very shy when comes to meeting people who admire him, especially girls. As seen with the cases of Mai , Vivian , and later Rebecca , he would often blush and even freeze up when they approached him. Yugi is also not good in front of big crowds, as seen when Mokuba tried to get him up on stage to give a speech.
Unlike his other self, Yugi has no problem with losing. In fact, he is willing to lose if it means helping his opponent. Yugi also has a lack of confidence in his own abilities, but still wants help out his friends. Over the course of the series, he becomes more confident and determined. He is also willing to sacrifice himself if it means saving someone else, such as Joey or Yami Yugi. [10] [11]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Asana is a slim, tanned girl with mauve eyes and grey neck-length hair. She wears an equestrian outfit consists of white gloves, white polo-shirts tied by a yellow cravat, a black vest, toppled by a knee-length red coat with double buttons, and a black inner layer, a brown belted, white pants and black boots with heels.

Asana wants to crush Rush Dueling but at the same time she is unfailingly polite to Yuga despite knowing who he is. She is interested dueling him but at the same time she does not like his indifference to her school's traditions. Because she is a Goha 6th Elementary student she is very traditionalist, she opposes all modifications and in the past she actively tried to impose that. She loves riding and operating her digger, the R6 , she is very attached to it, talking and treating it as if it were a horse. However, she does not like the Goha Corporation Drones , because Goha Corporation 's Duel Disks outcompeting her family's Duel machines . [2]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Zorc appeared as a gigantic, purple-skinned demon with huge, curved horns, bat-like wings, and a large dragon/snake appendage between his legs. The dub changed that appendage to protrude from his chest instead of between his legs, due to its likeness to the phallus. In the bunkoban of the manga , it was made to spiral around him, rather than point out suggestively. Zorc was very similar in appearance to Diabound (albeit far larger and more demonic), which was possibly due to his connection to King Bakura.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Combined to his cat motif, the name Schrödinger is likely a reference to the Schrödinger's cat , a thought experiment which presents an hypothetical cat that may be simultaneously both alive and dead.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Nezbitt is tall and has brown hair. Nezbitt's business suit is black. In the virtual world, he takes the appearance of Robotic Knight and later Perfect Machine King .

Nezbitt is a misanthrope who believes in the inherent superiority of machines over humans. His fascination with machines is reflected in his deck and his choice of taking on the form of a Machine -type monster in the Virtual world. He also tries to behave like a robot in his speech. He is also extremely brutal, as seen when he takes over the duel against Yugi and Joey, palming Johnson by the face and shoving him aside. Despite this, Nezbitt has shown courtesy such as deliberately taking the last move in his single duel and allowing Serenity two minutes to make her move or forfeit.

Nezbitt about to shove Johnson

… said 'shove' in action.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Nightshroud's character design was overseen by Kenichi Hara . While possessing a host, Nightshroud wears a tight-fitting overcoat, with raised shoulders and waistline and gold and green trimmings, a tight black turtleneck, black leather pants, and black shoes. The difference between his hosts are. While possessing Atticus, the color of the overcoat is dark green, and the interior of the overcoat is purple, and the gold trimmings are also on the upper back. While possessing Yusuke Fujiwara, the color of the overcoat is black, the interior is dark red, there are no gold trimmings on the upper back, and there’s a blue pattern on the turtleneck.
His dark dragon mask, resembling the head of " Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon ", is completely black with the exception of its blue eye-pieces and a red stone in the center of the forehead. In this incarnation, the bangs closest to his face are positioned in front of the mask only while possessing Atticus. While possessing Yusuke Fujiwara, the mask completely covers his face. And the three horns are longer.
Immediately before Yusuke 's fall, Nightshroud's energy form is glimpsed as an immaterial spirit, with a body swathed in black smoke. He has two long, gangly arms ending in claws, and no legs.  His true form is a cloaked skeleton with glowing blue eyes resembling a Grim Reaper. He wears grey and red robes with gold trim, and has a dragon-shaped skull for a head with horns at the back of it, with the same shape as the mask his previous hosts wore. In this form he does not use a Duel Disk - instead, he grows five wings, each serving as one Monster Card Zone and one Spell and Trap Card Zone apiece. His cards materialize directly into his hands - his Deck is unseen.

Nightshroud is a calm individual with the belief that individuality, hope, and bonds are what bring about people's suffering. He believes himself to be a "savior" and that complete peace can be brought into people through complete nullification (giving people neither hope nor despair). Nightshroud rarely loses his composure in conversations or Duels unless he is tricked or caught off-guard, especially if it relates to darkness within people. He sees people as beings that will eventually enter his world, but sees people with Duel Monster Spirits inside them as "foreign objects" that must be eliminated.
When individuals show fortitude against Nightshroud by using hope and bonds, he will become determined to use anything he has to destroy all hope and bonds that people have within themselves and give himself a better advantage such as using illusions to trick his opponents, using any darkness they have against them, or using his opponent's Duel Partners against them.
According to himself, Nightshroud follows the logic and truth of the world and thus has no actual desires.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Nistro has flame-shaped dark red hair with a lighter red fringe and purple eyes. He has a Duel Disk which looks a lot like Quattro 's, but more of a fireball based design. He also has a red Duel Gazer tattoo, like Kite Tenjo , Trey , Quattro, Quinton , and his partner Dextra .
Prior to entering the WDC, Nistro used a black and dark red trench coat with a high collar over a red shirt with dark red trousers black shoes and black gloves as well as a bracelet on his left wrist identical to the one on Dextra's right ankle. Later, he can be seen wearing a grey and black colored coat with orange ruffles as well as two belts and leather pants with white and brown cowboy boots.
During the Pro Duelist Spartancity Tournament , Nistro wears a form-fitting blue and red costume, resembling that of a wrestler. He also dons a star-shaped mask whilst wearing this costume. His nightwear consists of a sleeveless, black vest, brown belt and black sweatpants with a grey line down each side.

Opposite to Dextra's cold-blooded personality, Nistro is a very high-spirited person, evident to how excited he got during the opening ceremonies of the World Duel Carnival . [9] In the Japanese version, he has a habit of saying "nori" in each of his sentences.
He also seems to take his job less seriously, as when investigating mysterious Duels within the tournament, he joked about how some of the Duelists were defeated, while Dextra maintained a calm manner whilst investigating. [6] This tends to cause frequent arguing with his partner, but they actually get along better than they initially appear and their Dueling styles complement each other well. It also seems Nistro values Dextra (or at least his colleagues in general) highly, as during their Duel with Yuma Tsukumo , he activated a card that served no other purpose than to take the hit for Dextra. [8]
Nistro loves Dueling, heavily punishing anyone that dishonors Dueling. As a member of the committee, he is very severe when punishing a cheater, to the point of physically injuring the participant or forbidding him/her from Dueling in Heartland City for the rest of his/her life. [7]
Nistro can be quite competitive with Kite Tenjo , having some form of rivalry with him in collecting " Numbers ". [10] After his defeat, he formed a friendly rivalry with Yuma because he liked his spirit, but he also considered Yuma as his "prey" since he possess the "Original Number". [8] Recently, however, he has allied himself with Yuma, because he does not want Yuma to be defeated by anyone except himself. [11] . When Nistro Dueled Yuma, he showed a more child like nature, wanting to defeat Yuma with honor, and having Yuma "Duel with strong guts". When he lost, Nistro told Yuma that it would dishonor him if he didn't Duel with all his might. [3] During Yuma's Duel with Kite, Nistro cheered for Yuma more, in contrast to Dextra, who cheered for Kite only. He also supported Yuma when he Summoned " Heroic Champion - Excalibur ". [12]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

She can be found in Daimon Area , where the player can face her in Rental Deck Duels where they both duel using Rental Decks.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Mamoru is a short, thin man with red-brown hair in a bowl cut, brown eyes with the bottom eyelashes styled into triangles, stylized eyebrows, and dimpled cheeks. He wears a navy blue coat with a yellow lining over a red waistcoat and a high-collared black shirt done up with twin columns of brass buttons, in addition to white pants and grey shoes with black soles. The forearms of his coat appear to be padded and are patterned with yellow lines. Mamoru also has thick grey pads of cloth over each shoulder with yellow diamonds on the front that have yellow lines extending from their upper tips. He carries an old-fashioned pocket watch that he wears around his neck on a grey string and stores on one of the brass diamonds that his shoulder pads are set with.

Mamoru is an extreme control freak, fretting over tardiness and reacting in overblown horror to the sight of Gloria and Grace Tyler Dueling the Lancers . Like most Duel Academy members, he shows no concern at the thought of sealing people into cards ; indeed, Mamoru worries that it is not being done fast enough. He is also somewhat narcissistic; he frets that he will be punished by the Professor if the Arc Project falls behind schedule and worries about the absence of Aster Phoenix because it is putting him under stress. He dislikes the nickname of "Noroma-chan" (blockhead) given to him by Grace.
It is seen that unlike most Duel Academy agents who believe in the agenda, his motivations are mostly self-centered. He wishes to carry the missions given to him (completing the Arc Project and eliminating the Lancers) in order to get the full-credit for the accomplishment. In fact, he even wished for his superior to lose to Yuya so Aster wouldn't get any praise for it. Deep down however he has shown to be highly inept as he must relay orders to others to accomplish his goals, while denying the fault of any failure from his part, further showcasing his uselessness. A final blow to this would be the fact he is not a duelist, as confirmed by Noro himself upon being challenged by Kite Tenjo .


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Miho's usual outfit is the Domino High School 's girls' uniform. She has lilac hair that is fixed in a ponytail and usually has a yellow ribbon on top. Miho is fair-skinned.

Miho is cheerful and flirty, though she can also be a stubborn and resilient girl who nonetheless cares deeply for her friends' safety. She often refers to herself in the third-person. Miho shows signs of being a typical fangirl, squealing in delight at any given moment when an attractive male (mainly Ryo Bakura ) walks past and becoming obsessed with new games and fads she seemingly had no prior interest in throughout the series. She claims that she wants to marry someone wealthy in the future, but in truth, much like Honda , she is a romanticist at heart. Nevertheless, Miho can be naïve and at times a little dim-witted and oblivious to the feelings of those around her, much to Honda's dismay. However, it is hinted that Miho may be aware of Honda's crush on her, as she says things in front of Honda seemingly on purpose so he will volunteer to do things for her.

Despite her flighty personality, if someone hurts her friends she will get serious and come to their defense, as shown when she confronted Warashibe for giving Anzu, Honda and Jonouchi tainted water and making them sick.  Sometimes her personality even causes her to bumble her way to victory, such as when she single-handedly, albeit accidentally, defeated three of Seto Kaiba's professional mercenaries in a game of laser tag.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Number 96, when not in its card form, appears similar to Astral , but with a jet black body, instead of light blue. Unlike Astral, whose right eye has a white sclera, Number 96 has a black sclera, but a gold iris on his left eye, like Astral. However, the markings where Number 96's eyebrows would be are longer, the top ends stretching into his forehead and becoming crooked (resembling horns of some sort) and the bottom ends having a spike on each that line his nose. These marks are red instead of his other green marks. He is capable of forming a ghostly tail and having "tentacles" that stretch out from his body.
As with Astral, the dub version has Number 96's lower body sometimes blurred off to remove any nudity implications. Lastly and likewise, Number 96's D-Pad is the same one Astral uses except it is purple instead of blue. [2]

Full appearance of Number 96's Chaos Form .

When Number 96 used " Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force " on his card form , his own physical appearance significantly changed. He gained a Barian Emblem on his forehead, an eye on his abdomen much like Don Thousand and a pair of wings with red jewels. His muscle mass grew considerably and also became more pronounced. His hair gained volume, his right eye is no longer black, and his voice deepened significantly, but only for one episode. [3]

Unlike its counterparts, Number 96 is a malicious entity who desires the power of the other " Numbers " so that he may become the most powerful of them all. He is cunning enough to allow himself to be absorbed by Astral so that he may possess him from the inside and steal his "Numbers". Number 96 also enjoys sadistically manipulating his hosts and brutally defeating his enemies. While working with Vector , Number 96 comments that Vector resembles "a second rate villain" due to his usage of tricks to manipulate Duels. [3]
Number 96 considers his card form to be his "other self". He also considers himself to be the "darkness" to Astral's "light". To that end, he also, constantly tells Astral that he needs his power to win and will someday become evil. [4] After having obtained the power of Chaos , he develops a God complex and sets his sights on destroying all three parallel worlds in a fit to testing his newfound power and attaining his goal of crushing Astral and Yuma together. [5]
According to Don Thousand , Number 96 was actually a fragment of his own power, that was embedded in Astral's body when he fought against him eons ago. This made Vector finally understand why an individual like Number 96 was inside Astral. [6]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Dipper is slim and tall with purple hair that has a gold pin in the shape of the Big Dipper asterism, and blue eyes. He wears a zip-up blue and purple jacket over a white long-sleeved shirt, with white pants, olive-colored shoes, and a loose blue belt. His LID badge is pinned on the right side of his jacket. He also has a frame with a star underneath his hairline.

Dipper has a callous, almost cruel manner of Action Dueling, apparently not concerned with the safety of his opponent. During his duel against Yuya, Dipper repeatedly timed his actions in a way that could have potentially caused considerable harm to Yuya, such as when he chose to return " Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon " to Yuya's hand, Yuya almost fell off of a roof. [2] He also likes to play on his knowledge of the Action Card drops of " Cosmic Sanctuary " to cut his opponents off.
Dipper also seems to have a bit of a superiority complex. Taking a mere 500 damage from Yuya's card effect was enough to send him into a rage. His pride is also shown to be quite fragile, as seen when Julia Krystal pointed out how he lost, was enough to send him sulking into a corner. [3] He was also incensed at Shay 's use of Xyz Monsters to commit attacks against LDS and vowed to prove that LDS's Xyz was the strongest.
After his Duel with Yuya, Dipper has shown less arrogance and doesn't boast as much as he did prior to a Duel.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Lulu's face resembles those of her counterparts. She has pink eyes, long dark purple hair which extends past her lower back even when tied up in a bow-shaped style and has shorter, lilac side tails. She secures her hair with a wing-shaped barrette and, after the invasion, dons large, feather earrings. Lulu is the only one of her counterparts with longer hair and side tails. Like her counterparts, she also wears a bracelet .
Before the invasion of the Xyz Dimension, Lulu dressed simply in a yellow and white, knee-length dress with white shoes. After the establishment of the Resistance, however, she wears more practical clothing; a cream vest with an under dress that splits into three, worn out pants, brown boots, two brown belts, and a red sash that evokes Yuto and Shay 's scarves on her right hip.

Lulu has a very feminine and graceful mannerism, being polite and gentle towards others. This is in contrast to her counterparts, who all display tsundere or rude behaviors. In contrast to Rin, for example, who violently attacks Yugo after he saved her, Lulu simply smiles and thanks Kite for helping her. Similar to Zuzu who has feelings for Yuya, Lulu has feelings for Yuto, to which he returns.

Lulu cries as she holds a crying little girl while watching their home being invaded .

According to Yuto, Lulu is kind and loyal to her friends, fighting for the sake of their homeland together with their Resistance comrades. Yuto commented that Zuzu's desire to protect her friends is similar to Lulu's. Due to the invasion of Duel Academy, Yuto stated that Lulu would never learn to Fusion Summon with a smile, suggesting that like Yuto and Shay, Lulu developed resentment for Fusion Summoning. She is also shown to be brave and confident, challenging Yuri to a Duel when she was cornered by him. Like Yuya Sakaki , Yusho Sakaki and Yuto , she believes that Dueling is not a tool for conflicts but instead for the sake of making people happy and smile; Lulu learned this belief from Saya Sasayama , who herself learned it from Yusho Sakaki himself. However, despite the hatred of Fusion Dimension she might have developed, Lulu pays little to no attention to her Duel Academy's Duel Disk .
When under the influence of a Parasite Monster , Lulu's personality becomes ruthless, harsh and sadistic. It extends to the point where she enjoys inflicting pain to others as shown where she laughs in pleasure in her duels with Shay and Yuya/Yuto.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Shay is a tall young man with straight blueish-black hair that falls to his chin, and light green bangs in the shape of a wing partially tucked under some strands on the left. He has yellow-green eyes, and similar to Yuto , used to keep his face concealed behind dark glasses and a red scarf signifying his allegiance to the Resistance. He wears a blue trenchcoat that is tattered at the ends; the coat is belted shut, and is adorned with belted cuffs. He also sports grey pants and brown shoes.

Shay as a Turbo Duelist

Shay wears a Turbo Dueling suit in the Underground Dueling Arena and during the Friendship Cup . It has a dark blue and green color scheme and he wears his Resistance scarf with it.
In the past, during his time at the Spade Branch of Heartland Duel School , he wore more casual clothes; a dark grey shirt under a lighter one, dark jeans, and casual sneakers.

Deep inside his heart, Shay is a kind person with good intentions, but the horrors he has suffered due to Duel Academy have scarred and hardened his views deeply. Though he Dueled for fun before in a pro Duelist training school, in the present, Shay is a battle-hardened Duelist who shows nothing but fierce determination and serious perseverance in his Duels. In the dub, he tends to be more sarcastic. In a similar manner to Seto Kaiba , Reginald Kastle , Kite Tenjo , and Declan Akaba , he also carries an affection for his younger sister Lulu Obsidian whom he vows to rescue, and also highly regards his comrades. Unlike Yuto , Shay acts out more recklessly and impatient and is willing to crush anyone who he deems as his enemies, even warning Yuto not to stand in his way when focused on his goal. He demonstrates a powerful hatred of Fusion Summoning , and previously of LID , as Fusion Summoning has been used by his enemies and he believed LID to be associated with them. Despite his callous disposition, he can be pragmatic, agreeing to cooperate with Declan in furthering his machinations in exchange for information. Shay's time at the pro Duelist school educated him with an "iron will and steeled strength", concepts that he evaluates other Duelists on, and he also developed a serious outlook between Duelists exchanging their cards. [10]
Shay tends to converse about his experiences when the comments of other people allude to them (whether such allusions are intentional or not). While Dueling, he demonstrates a more violent side when he uses " Raidraptor - Rise Falcon ". Aside from these moments, he says little when he doesn't have to talk, not even bothering to learn the names of many of his opponents; he simply challenges them to a Duel. However, he often employs the word "revolution" and similar terms, reinforcing his strong belief of Dueling solely to defeat his enemies and protect his comrades. Despite his determination to protect his comrades, he initially  prefers acting alone and dislikes it when others try to protect him by risking themselves but he drops this attitude after his duel against Crow where he is completely fine in helping his new comrades and often comes to aid the Lancers . However, the memories of the attack on his homeland have clearly scarred him, and when he was in the " Neo Heartland City " Action Field for a second time, he was initially unwilling to discuss the events, but on later prompting by Celina , he admitted that the faces and laughter of Duel Academy students that had attacked Heartland would always remain in his mind. Shay has confirmed that he sees life as a battlefield and everyone else an enemy due to the loss of everything as a result of the attack on Heartland. This is especially shown during and after his Duel with Dennis during the Friendship Cup, where he pushed his opponent to reveal his true nature. In the dub, Shay even claims to Celina that it hurts to look at her due to her resemblance to Lulu.
Despite his hot-headed nature he is shown to care deeply for his comrades including Yuto and Lulu. This was seen many times during his Duels against Sora and Dennis . He is shown to be arrogant and to have great pride in his skills. Shay initially didn't see any of the Lancers as his comrades but this changes during his duel against Crow which reminded him of something important to him, and he began to trust the Lancers and consider them as his comrades. This was seen when he approached Kite and defended the Lancers, also stating that he believed in Yuya as well. He later came to accept Crow Hogan as a comrade after their Duel, discovering that they had a lot in common.
Shay is shown to be very protective of and has a soft spot for children. This was seen during his Duel against Crow when he saw Tarren clinging to the back of " Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower " and showed genuine concern for him. He also expressed this towards Riley when the Lancers were about to depart for the Synchro Dimension and when he found out that Riley was protecting Celina all on her own from the Obelisk Force. He stated that the reason he started fighting was to protect children.
Shay has a habit of saying " field " in kanji (「 場 」, Ba ) instead of in katakana (「フィールド」, Fīrudo ). In the dub, he makes a small number of bird and flight puns regarding his " Raidraptors ".


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Odion wears golden earrings that resemble an ankh. He has a tattoo in the dub/carving in the original of hieroglyphics on the left side of his face, from just touching his left ear to halfway through his left eye in width and from the top of his forehead to just below his chin in length; in certain scenes from a different angle, the tattoo appears as if it only touches his eye like his ear, instead of going through it.  He has dark skin, green eyes and mainly a bald head, with his only hair being a large, long black ponytail coming out of the very back of his head.
He wears, throughout most of the Battle City tournament in both season 2 and the second part of season 3, the same purple hooded cape with the Eye of Anubis on the hood and a gold chain that Marik Ishtar originally wore as well. Odion has, underneath the cape, a long-sleeve dark purple sweatshirt, black pants, and two rather large dark belts, which he also wears in season 5, though without the cape, at the Egyptian airport.  He also, before his true identity was revealed, since he was posing as Marik beforehand, had a fake Millennium Rod in the Battle City tournament finals.

Odion is normally quite quiet, remaining loyal to Marik Ishtar despite being mistreated at times throughout season 2 and season 3, because of 3 reasons: #1 Mr. Ishtar thought of him as a servant to the tomb-keeper heir (Marik), #2 Odion was always trying to keep Marik's alter ego, Yami Marik, in control and unable to take over Marik's body, and #3 he promised Mrs. Ishtar as she died that he would take care of his adoptive siblings.  In the Duel with Joey Wheeler, he pretended to be louder and more arrogant due to posing as Marik. However, two of the few times Odion was truly seen speaking his mind was after both times he became conscious again in the tournament, after the end of his Duel with Joey when both begging and warning him and Yami Yugi to save Marik from his alter ego before becoming unconscious again, and near the end of the final Duel between Yami Marik and Yami Yugi, in order to successfully help Marik regain control of his body.  He appears polite, despite certain rude or villainous actions he had to do for Marik, such as during his Duel with Joey Wheeler in Battle City: he called Joey "Mr. Wheeler", while Seto Kaiba only refers to Joey as "Wheeler"; after Joey had won the Duel, Odion even told Joey that it had been an honor to Duel him. After the Battle City tournament, when he, Marik, and Ishizu reappeared in season 5 to meet with Yugi and his friends at the Egyptian airport, there were not enough scenes to show the brothers' interaction with each other, although he still appeared very quiet and loyal to Marik.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yuga is a short, green-eyed boy with flame-like hair, colored auburn and yellow. He wears a long-sleeved red jacket with white shoulders, a white shirt with yellow designs, a brown belt around his black shorts, blue shoes with red details and blue fingerless gloves.

Yuga is an intelligent, passionate, enthusiastic and inventive though rebellious young boy. However, his rebellious actions are justified as he is determined to invent new ways of dueling to make life better for people like him. Despite being extremely intelligent, Yuga is not always lucky in successfully inventing his own creations.
Yuga dislikes the Goha Master Duels that most adults do; due to being too serious and having many rules. Instead, he uses his own Duel style, Rush Duels, to entertain himself and the audience. He is also a bit of a daydreamer. Yuga has a fondness of the number seven as Goha Corporation's emblem is a hexagon, Yuga considers the number seven to be what can break through Goha's excessive control.
Yuga is a selfless person, when Luke told Yuga to take the title of "King of Duels", Yuga immediately allowed Luke to take it himself as Yuga knew that it was Luke's dream, even though the supposed door was just a projection unknown to both of them. Yuga shows no interest in being the best Duelist and just wants dueling to be more fun for everyone, he did not mind losing against Luke even when everyone expected him to win; due to being the creator of Rush Duels. Yuga tends to panic nervously when in a tough or unexpected situation during a Rush Duel.
Yuga is afraid of ladybugs. He also can't swim.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Toombs is an unassuming young boy with pale skin and long messy black hair that usually conceals his silver eyes. In comparison to his more flashily-dressed bandmates, Toombs dresses in simple clothes; a long sleeved shirt with a grey body and lighter grey sleeves that hang over his wrists, charcoal pants, and brown cowboy boots.

Toombs is a troubled person with an identity crisis. Because his name literally means "behind you" along his low profile when compared to Roa and Romin, he struggles to have his existence properly noticed, much less his name remembered, as many people assume he is telling them to look behind them. He for the most part has a rather creepy demeanor, speaking quietly before going in louder rants for a rather terrifying contrast.
Toombs is fond of urban legends, having his Deck full of monsters to represent them, and even goes as far as to explain them, which coupled with his unkempt appearance and vocal swings can lead to a rather frightful atmosphere. Beneath his spooky exterior, Ushiro is not truly malicious and seeks for people to acknowledge him. When Luke praised him and vowed to remember his name, he smiled genuinely for the first time, overjoyed at being acknowledged. He speaks and reacts more normally after Luke begins to surprise him during their Duel.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Ootomo is a somewhat tall boy who wears the LID uniform with a black undershirt visible beneath. He has brownish hair in a style similar to an undercut and the longer part of his hair is fixed in a short ponytail.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Orbital 7 has 2 robotic red eyes and the robotic metal mouth and he has white glossy body and a red "O" sign on it. It has a white robotic arms and the black claws on it when Orbital 7 has 2 Wheels to see it.

Unlike other robots, such as the litterbots , Orbital 7 can express feelings such as anger and fear as it's seen in episode 13 when, seeing a litterbot that the "Number" holder threw down to the ground floor, it got angry and told Kite in an aggressive way to take him down, but quickly changed his tone to Kite when the latter looked at him angrily, implying he has a certain fear for his master. [1] This fear is present especially when Kite threatens to turn Orbital 7 into scrap metal, among other threats, when the latter would disobey the former's orders.
During Yuma and Kite's Tag Duel against Trey and Quattro , he also developed a fear for Tori Meadows . He also considers Tori scarier than Kite as seen when Tori scolded him and called him a "pile of junk", he responded silently "this girl may be even scarier than Kite". [2]
Orbital 7 has a habit of ending his sentences with "de-arimasu" and he refers to Kite as "Lord" Kite (or either "boss" or "Master Kite" in the dub). In the dub, he has a habit of stuttering his sentences.
Orbital 7 has a disdain for Yuma and has in more than one occasion insulted him, frequently calling him "Toma". However given Yuma's evident concern for both Kite and Hart, Orbital 7 has been notably less hostile towards Yuma and has even responded to his commands.
He later falls in love with Lillybot at first sight, and the two becomes friends after a misunderstanding between her and Yuma.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Orbital 7 has 2 robotic red eyes and the robotic metal mouth and he has white glossy body and a red "O" sign on it.
Orbital 7's full appearance.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

He appears as a white cloaked man having on a black jumpsuit situated with a yellow vertical line trailing from his chest downward to his belt which is yellow, and having a sphere like symbol on it, with his white cloak pulled back at the chest showing the inside is red (and in some cases dark pink), with yellow lining on his sleeves, and and gold like arm bracelets that is above his elbows, with lines at the side of his legs trailing down to his boots that are also white, and having two yellow stripes at the top, with his sleeves' cuffs being yellow along with white gloves, and a yellow symbol on them. He also has white hair that sticks out, and having on a red mask with what looks like a big yellow eye like visor with a white circle with a yellow outer layer.

It's unknown what Otes' real Deck is but it was shown to have the " Sevens Road Magician " card made by himself. The card was later given to Yuga.
Otes in his Duel with Yuga uses a " Blue-Eyes " Deck capable of summoning the famed " Blue-Eyes White Dragon " at a fast rate with the aid of the Rush Duel Rules, and supporting it with his Spells or Trap Cards to quickly destroy his opponent's monsters, and use "Blue-Eyes" for a quick beatdown strategy.
In his three-way Duel with Luke , Gavin , and Romin he uses a " Red-Eyes " Deck which just like his previous Deck utilizes " Red-Eyes Black Dragon " with support cards to summon it at a fast rate along with using cards such as " Inferno Fire Blast " to damage his opponent critically.
During his Duel against Yuga Goha , he uses a " Dark Magician " Deck which utilizes " Dark Magician " and " Dark Magician Girl " with support cards to summon them quickly along with Spell Cards that destroy his opponent's cards and increases the ATK of his monsters. The Trap Cards tend to focus on protecting his "Dark Magician" from being destroyed by battle by switching the target to a different monster or returning "Dark Magician" from the GY to his hand (to prevent Yuga Goha from using " Monster Reborn " on it).

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Hunter is a tall, skinny man with tanned skin. His hair is orange and yellow, styled to represent a flame. He also has a thin pencil line mustache. His attire consists of a orange shirt, black jacket and pants and a skull pendant. He also wears sunglasses throughout the majority of his appearances.

Hunter is shown to be an extremely selfish and greedy individual. He's also shown to do anything in order to win, even to go as far as tinkering with Yusei 's Duel Runner in order to reduce its acceleration during their Duel.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Pandor is a humaniod AI with red eyes, and green streaks that resemble bangs. She wears a black, white and blue suit with gold trims and a red diamond at the collar. She has black gloves and boots with gold trims.
Pandora does not have a Duel Disk. Instead, a red ring that appears on the newer models when drawing a card forms around her wrist when she does so.

Pandor is shown to be a very helpful AI, offering assistance when need. She often smiles and tries to support her Duelists. She is also very observant of her opponents, but still respectful. She is well aware of the limit placed on her free will, but doesn't seem to mind this at all, even stating that the limitation was there to help her coexist with humans. Pandor also wishes to coexist with humans and is also very perceptive of Ai's inner emotions.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Patty is a young petite girl with dark skin. She has green eyes and has long blonde hair that are tied into two pigtails on both sides of her head. She wears a standard Duel Academy girls uniform like Luna which are made for underclass girls.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Reed is a young man with orange hair, featuring a pinkish red bang that hangs down at the front. He also has pale skin and freckles. His main feature is that his eyes are shown as being shut or squinting, only opening them when being dramatic or in shock. Reed's outfit consists of a white undershirt covered by a light pink shirt with the sleeves rolled up and dark blue waistcoat and red tie. He also wears cream pants with a yellow pattern going round each leg alongside brown shoes.

On the surface, Reed seems to be a kind person, but is actually arrogant. He looks down on his opponents, possibly due to defeating students from LID Top Class. He refers to Yuya as a light meal as a means to belittle him. As the Duel continues, his lack of respect comes from the fact that he sees everything he does as perfection, ranging from his Action Duel performances to his cooking. During the Duel, Yuya's mother threw Yuya a pancake sandwich that was made by altering one of Reed's "perfect" recipes, which he didn't appear to like. His personality seems to come from his mother's coddling.
After being defeated by Yuya, Reed realized the errors of his ways after remembering that his father disagreed with his outlook on perfection. Reed became more friendly, caring about others and he is ready to help them. He demonstrated some altruism and bravery when he comes to help Moon Shadow, Celina and Shay to fight unknown enemies .


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Sora is a short, young boy with light cyan hair, that is tied up and spiked out. He wears a blue jacket that bears some resemblance to Duel Academy 's Obelisk Blue jacket, with a yellow and orange trim over a black t-shirt. He also wears a pair of light gray cargo shorts over long white socks and brown shoes. Sora has also been shown to carry a pink/white lollipop around with him.
Sora has also been noted by several characters as being extremely cute to the extent that they will side with him or give him what he wants, such as Yoko Sakaki who gave him Yuya's pancakes and Skip Boyle who changed the field that Sora and Yuya were Dueling on simply because Sora didn't like it.
Despite his small size, Sora demonstrates an incredible degree of athleticism, being able to knock out three boys much larger than himself using only a lollipop stick, and later displays incredible jumping ability to quickly snatch Action Cards during Duels.

Sora is shown to be a huge fan of Yuya , to the extent of obsession. This is shown when he constantly follows Yuya around, wanting to see Pendulum Summoning first hand (in the dub, Sora also calls Yuya "Coach Y"). At first Yuya declines, causing Sora to spy on Yuya and continuously bother him until he gives in. Sora has also been shown to use his cute appearance to win others over to his side and get his own way. However, it does not seem to work on Yuya, who only agrees to Duel with him if Sora stops following him around. Sora is also extremely childish and persists until he gets his way. Early on in the show Sora has a habit of misunderstanding situations, often asking "Did I get it wrong?" in response to other peoples' reactions. However, he later becomes more secretive, making sarcastic comments toward the students of Leo Institute of Dueling .
Sora also shows exceptional knowledge of Duel Monsters for his age, including the different styles of Summoning and can strategize accordingly. However as such, he does not take Dueling seriously unless there is a Duel or Duelist that excites him, and ultimately, this is what motivates Sora: his own entertainment.
It is seen that Sora is much more serious and malevolent than he actually shows, as seen when he was considering going all-out against Shay he let out a malicious grin, making him look noticeably more menacing. As the Duel progressed against him, he slowly descends into madness, subsequently bringing out more morbid Fusion Monsters and violently attacking his opponent, while slowly revealing more of his horrifying nature as he explains how much he and his people enjoyed "hunting" Shay and his comrades, simply because it is a "fun hunting game", while showing some disgust towards Shay, calling him "Xyz Scum." He is infuriated by his loss against Shay, showing he has a superiority complex and a huge ego. His pride can be seen earlier: he derides LID Fusion Summons and believes that Zuzu would be the clear victor in a match against them if she uses the techniques that he taught her, and after Yuto told Zuzu that " Polymerization " did not suit her, Sora was offended enough to challenge Yuto to a Duel.
However, deep down it seems that much of Sora's personality comes from his attachment towards the Fusion Dimension , as he truly considers the invasion of the Xyz Dimension to be a "gallant" battle, and that the only reason he could not allow himself to lose is because it would sully their honor. Being one of Duel Academy's top students and trusted with their mission, he is very strict with himself, thus his behavior is likely a result of believing he is both honoring his comrades and doing right.
With encouragement from Yuya and Zuzu, Sora realized he was hurting people and reluctantly abandoned his old ways.
He is also shown to be obsessed with sweet food items or candies to the extent that he is rarely seen not eating them, even to the extent that he eats during lessons. Whenever he is serious or angered, he tends to bite his candies rather than keeping it on his mouth.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Aster's character design was overseen by Kenichi Hara . His usual outfit consists of silver formal wear with button-up sleeves, a black shirt underneath with matching shoes, and a loosely-fitting necktie. His grey hair is sectioned in two layers, his bangs forming one layer and the rest the other. His blue eyes are positioned between the layers closest to his face. He carries an Academy-issued Duel Disk on his left arm.

Aster is a professional Duelist whose belief in destiny draws him into confrontations with the most skilled of opponents. Aster is well-mannered (much more so in the Japanese version) with good intentions, but can often be blinded to the reality of a given situation due to his stubborn attitude and pessimistic outlook. He pursues his ambitions despite risks and overwhelming odds, and feels that the burden of avenging his father and reclaiming the " Destiny Hero " stolen from him is one that he must shoulder alone. Because his father was taken from him while he was still young, he has a dependency on father figures, such as Sartorius, or his legal guardian, The D . This has, in some instances, proven to be a weakness of Aster's, as the two men have been known to exploit him with mere words, albeit they themselves were being by a malevolent force . Since his father's disappearance, Aster has also held a fear of the state of his "time", afraid that he has not truly advanced anywhere as a person following the life-changing event. As such, he uses his "Destiny Heroes" to control his opponents' future. Aster is also shown to be sympathetic to other orphans like himself.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Like his Yu-Gi-Oh! GX counterpart, Aster has gray-colored hair and dark blue eyes. He is fair skinned. As a commander of Duel Academy forces, Aster wears a collared blue-green regal cloak, with yellow shoulder pads. The cloak's chest area is colored white, and has small yellow buttons. Aster was awarded this cloak when he was named the Commander-in-Chief of the Duel Academy forces, and he subsequently discarded it after he renounced Duel Academy. During his initial encounter with Yuya , Aster wore a large grey hooded cloak that completely obscured him and his clothes. Under these, Aster wears a silver suit similar to that worn by his GX counterpart; but with a more militant look. The jacket is lined with gold, and has navy blue cuffs and a navy blue high collar that also extends midway to Aster's chest. He also appears to wear a waistcoat of similar material; the front tails can be seen emerging from under his jacket.

Aster seems to take traits from his original counterpart, being overall serious and fairly aggressive when Dueling. He encountered Yusho Sakaki and lost to him in a Duel, something that Aster could not deal with. His insistence that the teachings of the Professor were correct caused him to react violently. After this, he bears a hatred towards Yusho and wants to find him at all costs in order to defeat him and prove that the Dueling of Duel Academy is correct and that Dueltaining is nonsense; to the point of Dueling Yusho's son Yuya Sakaki purely to use him as bait. His anger increases progressively at seeing " Performapal " cards and " Smile World "; any mere mention or sight of these sends Aster into a rage. This hatred extended to Yuya after Yusho's son, likewise a Dueltainer, forced Aster to end their first Duel in a DRAW ; upon encountering him again, Aster personally targeted Yuya  and ordered his subordinates not to interfere.
In contrast with this, Aster does seem to have a much brighter side to his personality, as before learning that Yuya was Yusho's son, he was willing to lend a helping hand in finding his father, being far more benevolent than most Duel Academy agents who would resort to assault people on sight, although he likes to get to the point quick as he pressured Yuya for information to help him. Aster also seems to be a quick learner, as he was able to learn how Action Cards worked merely through watching Yuya and needed no explanation to use them. After renouncing Duel Academy and allying with Yuya, Aster displayed remorse for the actions of Duel Academy and generously offered his assistance to Yuya and promised to restore the smiles and happiness of Heartland. Upon seeing Supreme King Z-ARC revive, Aster felt it was his responsibility as the Commander-in-Chief of the Arc Project to stop him.
Following his defeat by Yuya and his acceptance of the idea of Dueltaining, Aster wholeheartedly embraces its principles and he applies them during his Duels; attempting to make both Yugo and Yuri to smile in his and Kite Tenjo 's Duel with them and succeeding with Yugo, and later attempting to reach Yuya's spirit during his and Sora's Duel with Z-ARC .
Unlike his Yu-Gi-Oh! GX counterpart who was cool, calm and collected, Aster appears to be extremely short tempered and stubborn, much like Yugo . In addition, though the fact Yusho caused him extreme distress, Aster was smiling during his Duel with him.
Aster refers to himself with the " boku " pronoun, and uses some English counterparts for some game terms like his GX counterpart. He calls the Graveyard the "Cemetery", refers to card effects with the word " effect " rather than the Japanese " koka " and employs phrases such as " Activating the Set card" rather than "( card type ) activate" as is most common,  and "Come out" instead of "Arawareru". In addition, he also commonly uses English words.
