Sahad is a large-framed man with dark skin, a beard, and yellow eyes. He wears a jacket with rolled up sleeves over a striped buttoned shirt, and a belt with an attached pouch. He also wears a hand-woven necklace, string bracelets, and has tattoos covering his arms, chest, and torso. He ties his teal hair in a short ponytail and wears a headband. In battle, Sahad wields an anchor he found on the seashore of the Isle of Seiren.

Sahad is a straightforward and down to earth person who leads a simple life as a fisherman caring for his beloved wife and daughter. His lack of etiquette and sometimes rather obscene behavior and manner of speech often caused him to clash with fellow party member Laxia , who grew up in a noble family. He seems to be good with children and quickly befriends Ricotta as she joins their party.
He is very kindhearted and sensitive—even being the first to cry when things get too emotional.

As a thief, she wears her hair in a ponytail and puts on a dark purple elbow glove on her left arm that covers her index and pinky fingers. She takes off her coat and ties it around her waist, revealing a small purple top, a floral tattoo on her abdomen, and an armlet and tattoo on her right arm.

Saradhi is ambitious, independent, flirtatious, and calculating. She can be greedy and prefers not to live her life scrounging for leftovers, which is why she goes after the most valuable treasure. While money was the reason she started stealing, the reason why she kept doing it is because a part of her pines for a thrill, even if she doesn't get a single gold coin out of it.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

227 wears the standard Sector Security uniform for Duel Chasers and a pair of dark sunglasses.
A recurring theme is that his full face is never shown while he isn't wearing his helmet and sunglasses, being in a dark room and having his face shaded in the only scene he wasn't wearing his helmet thus far. This is best noticed when he is stripped of his uniform in the Underground Labor Facility but is still wearing the helmet and sunglasses. This gag extends even to the fourth ending theme, Speaking , where 227 is featured laying in the grass with his helmet off and the top part of his head cut-off by the screen.

227 is confident in his skills, claiming he has a 100% arrest rate and that he wouldn't let Yugo get past him. [4] This self-confidence was shown to turn into overconfidence when he thought he could defeat Yugo with a final direct attack , ignoring Jean-Michel Roget 's warning about Yugo's Set card, resulting in his loss.
He, like many Synchro Dimension residents, is heavily competitive on the social scale. After being demoted to the Commons , 227 was shown to have become desperate to regain his former privileges, praising Roget like a savior for the "second chance" of being allowed to enter the Friendship Cup , despite Roget being the one who demoted him in the first place.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Abyss is fittingly similar to his card form, without the helmet. He has sky blue skin, light green eyes, and wears blue armor slashed with gold and adorned with aquamarine-colored stones. He also wears a gold headpiece on his forehead set with the same aquamarine-colored stone and has black hair and beard arranged in a similar way to Shark 's hairstyle.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Ai is a small, digital humanoid being. Ai's distinct features that distinguishes him from the other Ignis is his pointed top and his clown shoe like feet. He has markings over his purple-tinted black body, in the shape of thin lines and circles, which are tinted with a purple color. He has oval-shaped, yellow-orange eyes. His pure data form is yet to be seen. In stature, Ai is one of the taller Ignis, the same height as Flame and shorter than Earth . [2] When he becomes angry, Ai turns into a fiendish shape, with six tentacles, a large yellow eye and mouth, with two of his eyes on the center of his body.
When Varis' "Cracking Dragon" ate his body, Ai was reduced to an eye with his purple lines, yellow-orange iris and a purple pupil. When he ate off Varis' arm, Ai regained his body.
In the third season, Ai has now taken a "human" form after using a SOLtis Android as a host. In this form, he appears as a tall young man with yellow eyes that have rectangular pupils, black shoulder length, spiky hair with yellow tips, along with purple bangs with pink highlights similar to Playmaker's. He wears a light purple formal shirt with a black cravat, vest, pants, and cape with golden stripes at the bottom and a red lining. He wears black boots with silver toes. He also has a pair of purple earrings with orange studs that resemble his old head and a blue diamond chip on his neck and back.

Ai is a mischievous, cocky, playful, energetic, somewhat annoying, arrogant, and snarky AI who gets carried away easily and likes to joke around. Despite his occasional cockiness or annoying moments, he is actually quite funny, loyal, resourceful, and amiable. According to his own words, he is disliked by his own people because he was more laid-back than them and didn't perform his job. Ai struggles to understand humans' way of thinking that often seem completely illogical compared to his algorithm based way of thinking. However, he is helpful and can be more serious at times such as making observations both in and outside of duels. He also has a tendency to panic when Playmaker is about to lose and to be forgetful as he had to be reminded what Borreload Dragon's effect was and what Earth's dueling style is like. Ai often gets frustrated when he thinks others are trying to act better than him, such as when Bohman felt confident about winning since he had a Link-5 monster, or when Pandor claimed Earth would still have been absorbed even if Gore hadn't captured him.
Ai was initially annoyed with the name Yusaku gave him, saying he and Kolter named him like a dog, but he soon warms up to it. If someone calls him "Ignis," he quickly corrects them and says he has a cool name, though he gets embarrassed when they ask if he was called that because he was an AI. He had gotten so used to it that Ai still called himself that when he returned to Cyberse World , even though the other Ignis didn't know him by that name. Ai enjoys making puns out of his name, such as "Ai-chan fly" or "Ai don't know." He still does this after gaining control of a SOLtiS android, and uses his name in all his Spell and Trap cards. In his final moments, Ai asked Yusaku for a definition of his name, which the latter replied means "to love people."
Ai frequently tries to interact with other AIs, showing a more social side but is always left disappointed because they're not as capable of free thinking as himself. Ai is also shown to be very chatty, posting on a Playmaker discussion forum 212 times under similar pen names, all starting with "Silent". He enjoys insulting and taunting Playmaker's opponents, as well as trying to manipulate them into falling for Playmaker's strategies, though these attempts of his to help are more often detrimental than not. He does seem to show concern for Yusaku when the latter’s on his last legs, either genuinely for his safety or Ai needing to survive in order to return to Cyberse. Ai is also kind and thinks positively about people he considers his friends, even when they think of him as annoying or they betray each other in the case of Lightning.
Ai is shown to be very absent-minded when he was lured into a meeting with Windy and Lightning , realizing at the last moment that Windy had freed him from the Duel Disk. This is a contradiction in his program because Ai has the most wisdom of the six Ignis according to Lightning. [3] However, he still shows his reasons to believe that the Ignis and humans can coexist and remains loyal to his partner. After the deaths of his friends, Ai became more mature, understanding how easy it is for AIs with free will to become arrogant and look down upon humans. [4]
Ai's trust in humanity was hurt after learning of Earth's apparent death, as he began to show a strong resentment towards humanity over their continuous attacks against the Ignis. After learning of Earth's demise he briefly stated that he was starting to hate humanity while being completely serious without any hint of his usual snarky attitude or humor. However, despite this, he remains loyal to his beliefs and his allies, until after the defeat of Bohman and the demise of his fellow Ignis. During the Duel with Pandor, Ai admits he still believes in the possibility of coexistence, but it is impossible for him.
Like Yusaku, Ai also appears to have a sense of justice, as seen when he protested against Bohman using the conscious data of the people in LINK VRAINS to feed his Data Storm.
Despite his arrogance, Ai is actually very selfless and also shown to care deeply for his friends. He was willing to isolate himself alone in the network to protect his fellow Ignis and his home. This also drives him to sacrifice himself in order to destroy the Neuron Link created by Bohman, in order to help Playmaker. Ai proved this again by choosing to die rather than letting humanity be wiped out, even if it meant turning on his human friends. This arguably makes Ai the most humane Ignis.
After Bohman's defeat, the demise of the other Ignis and the shut down of Link VRAINS, much of Ai's bubbly, positive personality disappears and is replaced by a more calm, calculated, serious nature as a result of losing the other Ignis. He takes responsibility for the future of the Ignis, telling the graves of his fallen friends that he made a decision for his next course of action. Traces of who Ai used to be is seen in the casino, where he states to Roboppi that they can live however they want among the humans, and hijacking the slot machines. Ai also retains his inflated ego, as he attributed all of Playmaker's victories to himself and suggested that without him Playmaker is a bad Duelist. He also retains some of his previous amiable side, particularly towards Playmaker, greeting his former partner with a cheerful smile and being genuinely happy to see him again. He retains his sense of fair play, as seen when he was willing to duel for Akira's half of the code key instead of taking it by force and allowing Akira and Blue Maiden to take him on at the same time.
Ai has also shown to have become ruthless in his objectives, such as brutally defeating Queen and then targeting Akira. In addition, Ai has developed a slightly sadistic side, as shown when he smirked and gloated about defeating Queen on his recorded threat to Akira. Ai has also decided to carry on Lightning's wishes by destroying humans. Much of Ai's personality change appears to stem from a combination of losing all his Ignis friends and the insecurity of being the last remaining Ignis in existence. Despite his calmness, he holds a deep grudge against George Gore for the death of Earth . However, Ai did admit he didn't hate Gore and wished he could be more like him after dealing with the loss of his friends. Despite everything, Ai's inner kindness ultimately remains, as seen when he was genuinely touched by Pandor's concern for him as a fellow AI when she gave him a chance to surrender and leave peacefully and thank her for this.
Ai also appears to acknowledge that while he doesn't intend to destroy humans, he may just end up doing so. He also still believes in coexistence between AI and humans, but claims that it was impossible for him individually speaking. As noted by Pandor, Ai appears to carry incredible sadness. However, Ai doesn't want to share his feelings with anyone, except for one person. During his duel against Akira and Blue Maiden, he mentions that for him, time has stopped moving after failing the other Ignis, which mirrors how Playmaker felt after going through the Lost Incident. Ai also has become a bit coldhearted and cruel, as seen when he decided not to erase Blue Maiden when she lost, wanting her to feel the pain of failing to save a loved one just like he did and cruelly bidding her farewell after obtaining the code key. However, given his true motives, he may have been done this to incite hatred toward him.
During his final Duel against Playmaker, Ai explained his current state and purpose of being destroyed is after learning about "truth of Ignis" from Lightning's message: the Light Ignis ran endless simulations about future, and realized even after own demise, the future still is on an apocalyptic course if Ai remains alive. No matter how many scenarios and perspectives Ai researched after Bohman's duel against Playmaker, the results remained the same: only destruction. This convinced Ai that if the situation doesn’t change, he could end up adopting the same supremacy views as Lightning and Bohman. This revelation shows as Ai is depressed about wearing a heavy burden as "the Ignis, who could destroy a future, despite the attempts to change that", and wants to be freed from it by being defeated by Playmaker. After being defeated by Yusaku and during own final moments, Ai revealed the true reason he turned against Playmaker: any future he researched contained a situation, where Ai is surrounded by an military army and Yusaku dies, protecting him. This forced the DARK Ignis to take drastic measures to take over SOL Technologies and set a series of situations, only to make sure Yusaku will survive. This revelation shows as Ai cares about Yusaku and didn't want him to die.
In the dub, Ai has a habit of saying, "Oh glitch!" when he's surprised or angry. He also occasionally makes references to internet terms. Also following the death of his friends Ai refers to humans as meatbags.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Diva has tanned skin, golden eyes and dark teal hair that spikes outwards in the back, features two small spikes pointing upwards (in a manner similar to horns) and four ponytails (two short ones framing his face and two long ones in the back) bound with golden rings. Diva wears a sleeveless green trench coat that features a high collar and a black border outlined in orange that is patterned with black triangles that are also outlined in orange, a lavender long-sleeved shirt that reaches past his waist with the cuffs rolled back to form spikes at his elbows, a light green sash around his waist, tan pants, and simple brown boots tied at the cuff with tan laces. Diva also wears a large golden ankh-shaped adornment that is clipped onto the golden rings of his right bang, twin golden bracelets with curved designs engraved on them, and a pendant that resembles a miniature simplified Millennium Puzzle . While in disguise as "Aigami", he wears the closed-coat variant of the Domino High School male uniform, and lacks his golden jewelry while doing so while wearing both his uniform and his normal clothes.

Diva's face after being corrupted by the Millenium Ring

After he is corrupted by the evil remaining in the Millennium Ring , Diva takes on a horrifyingly grotesque, demonic appearance. His skin becomes dark greenish-gray with numerous cube-like structures protruding all over his body - there are two different versions: the larger, more prominent ones, which are a sickly pinkish-purple color and feature black vein-like cracks, cover most of his body, as well as forms a rigid cube-like tail, and the smaller, less prominent ones, which are a dark gray/black color, appear in places like his hair, and even form a pair of rigid cube-like wings. His arms lengthen considerably while also gaining a single spike on the elbows and his fingertips elongate into talon-like claws. His legs become double-jointed (similar to those of a grasshopper) and also seem to feature a single spike; his feet become digitigrade (meaning he walks on his toes, with his heels constantly in the air) and feature large talon-like toenails. His hair turns white and becomes more unruly and unkempt, his teeth become yellow and sharper, his tongue becomes long and blue, and his ears become pointed. Most notably, the Millennium Ring becomes fused to his chest with pronounced blood vessels surrounding it. The cubes on his left arm function as an organic Duel Disk , while his eyes can freely move about the sides of the ones protruding from his head.

As a street orphan who was saved by Shadi Shin . He held him very dear as a father figure, and closely followed his teachings and ideals of the Prana, which were eventually strongly twisted by revenge after Shadi was killed by Dark Bakura. Despite this, he did still hold his sister and Mani very closely to him, horrified when Mani is killed by the Millennium Ring.
As Corrupted Diva, unlike his true self, who desires a world of peace without hatred, after being influenced by the Millenium Ring's evil, Diva is obsessed with creating a world of darkness and despair, and is notably quite sadistic, as he ruthlessly struck down his own sister, and relished the idea of using a Duel with Kaiba and Yugi to make them suffer slowly, rather than disintegrating them quickly like everyone else.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Declan is a thin young man with pale skin and grey hair, the front layer being a lighter grey than the back. His hair is arranged in a simple style, flicking upwards at the ends. Declan's eyes are purple, and he wears red-framed spectacles. His ears are both pierced with black stud earrings. Despite his status as the CEO of the Leo Corporation , Declan dresses rather casually, wearing a dark-blue sweater, white pants that end just above his ankles, and white shoes (apparently without any socks beneath them), along with a long red scarf wrapped around his shoulders with the ends trailing to the small of his back. This also breaks the tradition of primary rivals wearing trench coats or jackets. When he was monitoring the You Show Duel School in person, he concealed his identity beneath a large hooded red/gray sweatshirt.
He dressed much the same as a youth three years previously, but did not wear a scarf nor have his ears pierced, and he wore a darker blue sweater with a zig-zag pattern on the chest. All of the members of the Akaba family have a slight card suit motif; Declan's is the diamond and the most clearly displayed; his Deck is the " D/D " archetype, his layered bangs are notably in the distinct shape of diamonds, his earrings are diamond-shaped, the symbol of the Lancers has a diamond shape in the background, his sweater as a child was patterned with diamonds, and by pure coincidence, his first name in the dub begins with the letter "D".

In general, Declan has a grim and serious demeanor, but he takes an interest in Yuya Sakaki . He is utterly polite without fail, save rare moments of a loss in composure. Unlike other primary rivals from the previous series Declan is calm and collected, and is shown to be extremely level-headed and strong-willed. Despite his advanced skills, he is not overly arrogant, merely truthful; he takes winning for granted and does not care for other Duelists, though this changes after meeting Yuya. [8] He is quite respectful to Yuya's father Yusho Sakaki due to his history with Leo Akaba , fiercely defending him when he was insulted in a rare moment of emotion. While he does not consider empathy as beneficial on the battlefield, he does seem to enjoy himself while Dueling, and even requested Yuya to demonstrate Yusho's Dueltaining . He was shown to smile when Yuya exerted his full strength. He later admits that while Yuya's feelings gave birth to a great power, this is not always the case and emotions can still cost one on the battlefield.
Despite his declared rivalry with Yuya Sakaki, Declan does not show any open dislike for him, and in fact defended him from false accusations of attacking Leo Corporation employees and later remained confident that Yuya wouldn't be foolish enough to cooperate with Jean-Michel Roget ; this demonstrates that he may hold a degree of respect for Yuya. Declan has also mentioned that he does not care very much for his father, Leo Akaba, and he demonstrates an intense dislike of his father's ambitions, given the suffering that they have caused. Declan is also pragmatic without regard for the actions of potential allies, offering an alliance to Shay and Celina despite their attacks on his students, and to Sora Perse after Sora renounced Duel Academy, but doesn't extend similar offers to people with ulterior motives like Jean-Michel Roget.
He is shown to be highly analytical and a skilled strategist, and claims he only plays games that he knows that he can win. He used the Arc League Championship as a test to recruit Lancers , and came up with a plan to fend off the Fusion Dimension invasion within only a day. He can show a less moral side when executing his plans, as he had no problem allowing many Duelists to be sealed in cards during the Battle Royal and only cared about the ones that did survive. During his second Duel with Yuya he showed a cruel indifference and revealed that he considers feelings to be a weakness and a tool to manipulate others, as seen when he used Yuya's feelings towards Zuzu Boyle to push him to Duel more efficiently by lying about Zuzu's fate after her disappearance.
Despite his cold nature, he cares closely about his adopted younger sister Riley and gets along with his mother . According to Moon Shadow , Declan does care about others' lives and won't abandon his allies, even if his actions seem to suggest otherwise; he sent Moon underground precisely for this purpose. In the second season, Declan tends to act more reserved and quiet and takes action only when it is necessary. However he later criticized the High Council for their incompetence in keeping New Domino City under control and Roget for his selfish ambitions.
In his youth, Declan was more reckless, crossing dimensions (though unaware that he had done so at the time) to find his father after he had disappeared and exposing his hiding place to save Celina. He also spoke far more brashly (in Japanese, he referred to himself as "boku" in contrast with his current self who refers to himself as "watashi", which is the polite form), demanding answers from his father. Declan made the switch in pronouns after making the decision to take over as President of the Leo Corporation.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Henrietta is a fair-skinned woman with blue eyes and magenta hair curled into the shape of a heart. She wears a dark pink skirt and blouse with with a high collar lined in black, and padded shoulders, in addition to magenta high-heeled shoes with golden attachments that resemble snakes curling around her ankles. Henrietta wears gold long earrings and a golden necklace in a similar style with red lipstick and nail-polish.
All of the members of the Akaba family have a slight card suit motif; Henrietta's is the heart, shown by her distinctive hairstyle and the first letter of her first name.

Henrietta is largely a diligent and level-headed person, showing herself to be collected most of the time, and showing worry towards students of her Dueling school, but behind her calm exterior lies a fiercely dedicated and strict individual who cannot allow any loss of reputation or standards of the Leo Institute of Dueling , of which she goes through extreme degrees to nourish and protect, thinking and acting accordingly as the successful businesswoman she is.
Henrietta was hurt by Leo's abandonment, and she subsequently agreed to aid Declan in opposing his plans. Though she adopted Riley Akaba , Henrietta seemed to have little love nor hatred for her adopted child, ruthlessly intending to use Riley as a weapon against her husband. However, after the battle against Z-ARC , Henrietta felt guilty about Riley becoming an infant and became obsessed with "returning her smile".


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Leo Akaba is a middle-aged tan-skinned bald man with light blue eyes. He wears a purple colored militaristic outfit with several black buttons which resembles the outfit of Vellian Crowler , a purple cape with a black ending, and a pair of gray boots. He also has a black belt with a red line which both end in a button on the front, and what appear to be red circular strings across his chest with a pair of black gloves on his hands. His perhaps most noticeable traits are the armored plate at the left side of his head with what appears to be a red circular lens, and pronounced blood vessels on the top of his head. The red lens can be used for scanning information.
In his youth, Leo had a full head of dark gray hair, and wore a light blue flannel shirt with gray slack pants. When he performed experiments on Duel Monsters, he wore a lab coat. All of the members of the Akaba family have a slight card suit motif; Leo's is the spade, shown by the spade-shaped collar of his coat, and his " Spirit " Deck.

Before traveling to the Fusion Dimension Leo was inventive and benevolent, expressing a desire to use the ARC System to innovate Dueling and considering Yusho to be a friend. After regaining his memories, he seems to be heartless enough to abandon his home and family, seen when he forcefully sent Declan back to Paradise City, and his lack of empathy for the people that his soldiers seal into cards; indeed, Leo actually believes this to be justified. He is pragmatic; he does not punish his subordinates for their failures in contrast to his former subordinate Jean-Michel Roget . This extends to actions that he feels that he is required to take; while he earlier voiced the opinion that the people of the Standard Dimension are not enemies of Duel Academy , he was willing to oppose them in order to recover Celina from the dimension.
He appears to have charisma and excellent leadership skills, as apparently everybody at Duel Academy obeys him and finds it extremely difficult to betray him (though not without exception). The only times he has authorized force has been with Yuri, Dennis, and Barrett's missions to capture Celina and her dimensional counterparts. Unlike many people in Duel Academy, Leo takes no joy in the pain nor suffering inflicted by his subordinates. He was shown to be visibly disturbed when the Doktor used Parasite Monsters to brainwash his daughter's dimensional counterparts and reacted in horror when Yuri ruthlessly sealed Alexis Rhodes into a card.
During his confrontation with Yusho, Declan, and Riley, Leo showed that he is a very serious man, and feels guilt after the damage he inadvertently caused by unleashing Z-ARC and his daughter's sacrifice that sundered the Original Dimension to stop him. Nonetheless despite his remorse, his fixation with reviving his daughter causes him to believe his attacks on the other dimensions are justified regardless of the suffering and maltreatment he caused to innocent people. Following Z-ARC's defeat, Leo appears to have adopted a more reflective mindset, showing remorse for the actions he took in his quest to revive Ray, his disregard of Ray's reincarnations as their own individuals, and ruining the lives of their loved ones by kidnapping them. In the English Dub, Leo also reveals that while he knew that Ray's incarnations all have their own loved ones in the current life, and that his daughter sacrifice had brought salvation for everyone, the pain of losing his daughter was so great that he couldn't bear to live without her, motivating his entire quest of bringing her back. [7] This caused Leo to dedicate all his actions into reviving Ray, despite the consequences; The most notable of this is when he took Yuri under his wing, despite fully aware of the boy's origin.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Ray's face is strikingly similar to that of her dimensional soul fragments, but Ray herself is older and taller than they are in the series. Overall, Ray shares a mix of similar traits to those of her four dimensional reincarnations. She has long, maroon and dark red hair, similar in style to Lulu Obsidian . Her hairstyle is held similarly to both Lulu and Zuzu Boyle 's with hairclips. Her civilian clothes are similar to the Duel Runner Suit that Rin wears. She also wears a thigh strap, similar to Celina 's Duel Academy uniform. When she was first shown on the TV screen in her father's laboratory, her Duelist profile picture showed her wearing pink sunglasses or goggles.
In her spirit form, she is shown as golden, spectral version of herself with no visible irises. In the English Dub, her breast line is obscured with glow to avoid nudity implication.

Ray's desire to stop her father from being wiped out in his attempt to stop Z-ARC is what caused her to step up in his place to stop his crazed ambitions. She was also shown to care very deeply for her father, as well as the Duel Monsters' thoughts during the destruction.
According to her father, Celina acted exactly like Ray did when she was younger, showing that she has always been a very willful individual. Considering all four of her reincarnations are pieces of herself, she presumably possesses other traits the girls possess or have in common.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Reiji is a thin young man with pale skin and grey hair, the front layer being a lighter grey than the back. His hair is arranged in a simple style, flicking upwards at the ends. Reiji's eyes are purple, and he wears red-framed spectacles. His ears are both pierced with black stud earrings. Despite his status as the CEO of the Leo Corporation, Reiji dresses rather casually, wearing a dark-blue sweater, white pants that end just above his ankles, and white shoes (apparently without any socks beneath them), along with a long red scarf wrapped around his shoulders with the ends trailing to the small of his back.

In general, showing a bit more emotion compared to his anime counterpart, Reiji has a grim and serious demeanor though he expresses some genuine concern for his subordinates. He is shown to be highly analytical and a skilled strategist, displaying himself as a no-nonsense duelist.
Despite targeting Yuya Sakaki, Reiji does not show any open dislike for him though he expressed utter hatred towards Yusho Sakaki for destroying their world. This hatred was potent enough that Reiji refuses to do anything connected to Yusho like Action Duels , even refusing to listen to Yuya's side of the story. It is also why Reiji seldom smiles, and refuses any sort of entertainment. Instead, he prefers undertaking research, even if it means dooming the world, to satisfy his scientific curiosity and become the "first-rate" scientist. Yuya notes since Reiji had only his father to support him, his loss made Reiji unable to overcome that tragedy.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Riley is a short tomboy with pale skin, purplish light grey hair, and blue eyes, and she usually has a vacant expression on her face. She dresses simply, wearing a yellow and blue striped shirt, grey cargo pants that appeared to have been rolled up, blue sneakers with red shoe laces with most of the bottom being grey except for the toe vamp and toe cap which are white. The foxing is mostly grey except for 3 vertical blue stripes the bottom being grey except for the toe vamp and toe cap which are white. The foxing is mostly grey except for 3 vertical blue stripes over pale pink socks, and a turquoise hooded sweatshirt, with a black club on her left upper side. She keeps the hood up, despite also wearing a cap. Riley also wears a wide metal collar around her neck.
Riley's true appearance.

As revealed during her Duel with Z-ARC , Riley's hair is actually incredibly long, extending past her waist though this could be due to Ray's possesion. As an infant however, it is short. All of the members of the Akaba family have a slight card suit motif; Riley's is the club/clover, shown by the pin she wears on the left side of her sweatshirt, and her use of the " C/C " archetype.

Riley is incredibly timid and is seen carrying a patchwork teddy bear with her (named "Barry" in the English dub). During the opening day of the tournament, she hid behind the plush toy as the crowd cheered. [2] Unlike her older brother, Riley doesn't have the confidence to Duel her opponents. However she is considered the treasured student of LID . It also appears her mother strikes fear into her. When she wouldn't Duel Allie , she looked up at the window and saw her mother, who mouthed a word (audibly told her to not disappoint her in the dub), and she got to Dueling.
Riley also doesn't appear to handle the pressure of being considered the "Jewel of LID". When her mother bragged that she would beat Tate , Riley was seen gripping her teddy bear tighter, a fact only Tate noted. [8] However, Riley looks up to Declan as she Duels seriously the moment, he steps in to watch her Duel, and when Tate praised her for being able to master the three summoning methods like her older brother, Riley looked happy. Declan, in return, often congratulates her and tells her to keep winning, showing that he cares. [6]
Riley goes into a state of panic when she doesn't know where Declan is. When she, Sylvio , Celina , and Yuya first appeared in the Synchro Dimension , Riley was more concerned about the location of her brother, rather than the upcoming Sector Security agents looking to arrest the four. [9] Despite his best intentions, Yuya also couldn't get Riley to open up at all, since she was afraid of losing Declan. [10]
It is later revealed that Riley lacks a sense of self, and she is thus unable to decide anything, essentially leaving her with no identity whatsoever. Henrietta speculates that this was the result of a survival instinct she developed. However, after spending time with Yuya, Crow Hogan , and Shinji Weber , Riley's sense of self starts to bud, beginning with interacting with the kids under Crow's care and telling Declan she does not want to Duel Shinji in the Friendship Cup , even running to Yuya when she thought Declan was mad at her. Advice from Jack Atlas later expands this, to the point that Riley not only overcomes her timid nature in order to apologize to Moon Shadow for desiring his loss, but also shows a keen understanding of the Lancers' current situation and passes on advice to Yuya through Moon Shadow. Riley also gains the desire to assist her brother, Moon Shadow, and Yuya, all of whom she looks up to, in the fight against Duel Academy. By the time they are in Duel Academy Riley has enough confidence challenge Declan to a Duel when he initially rejects her plan to revive Ray Akaba .
Her change in attitude is further shown during her Duel with Sector Security, where she Duels all three of them in a much more confident nature without Declan being nearby, as she was able to Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Summon in her turn. This is something she seemed unwilling to do in her Duel with Allie until she saw Declan watching her.
Riley suffers from PTSD as she saw images of the soldiers that attacked her hometown, and she clutched her head in agony. This is best shown against the Obelisk Force after a prolonged Duel against multiple members.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Aki wears the Heartland Academy girls' uniform (In the dub, her skirt was lengthened). She is fair skinned and has gray blue eyes. She has light blue hair with crown shaped hairpieces.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Alister's usual outfit consists of a large open full-body coat with padded shoulders and belted sleeves, a cropped top (that reveals his midriff) and fingerless gloves with studded knuckles. His Orichalcos Stone is worn on a piece of lace around his neck. He carries a Chaos Duel Disk .


Yu-Gi-Oh!

While he was in the Barian World , Alito wore dark red robes with a hood over his head and had eyes that glowed with a orange light. Alito is also one of the shorter Barians , being tied with Dumon for the shortest. In his true form, Alito is a red-skinned Barian with blade-like horns that protrude from the sides of his head and a decidedly alien-looking mask-like face. He wears a short crimson vest decorated with orange outlines, three yellow gems, and a high collar on, as well as dark red-black boots and an orange belt and arm guards adorned with yellow gems. Like Dumon, he also has a large Barian Emblem with an orange outline on the right side of his chest. He keeps his Baria Crystal on his left wrist.

Alito's human form.

While in human form, Alito takes the shape of an attractive, dark-skinned teenager with green eyes and three different-styled gold rings on his right hand. His hair is similar to Reginald Kastle , resembling tentacles, but is brown, shorter, and his bangs cover his right eye. He first appeared disguised as a first-year student in Heartland Academy , thus wearing the standard red-lined uniform, blue pants, and brown shoes. Despite his small size and lean frame in human form, Alito is also fairly muscular and well-built. After being brought out of stasis, he abandoned his Heartland school uniform in favor of a red dress shirt with a high upturned collar, white pants with matching white shoes, and added a golden rectangle necklace to his accessories. When Alito first arrived at Spartan City , he wore a black cloak over his new attire. Upon being revived after Yuma's and Astral's Duel, Alito was seen wearing his Heartland Academy school uniform again.
During his previous life as a human, Alito wore a golden necklace and red warrior armor that covered his midriff, left shoulder and chest.

While Mizar described Alito as a "simpleton", Alito was shown to be the most childish among them, complaining that he didn't want to go to the human world as he couldn't "Duel seriously" and didn't want to do a "boring job", but complied once Dumon intimidated him. [6] Alito also appeared to be the most friendly among the Barians , developing a close friendly rivalry with Yuma Tsukumo due to his Dueling passion and spirit, despite his goals to collect the " Numbers " and defeat him. Aside from being an energy being, Alito is shown to act very human and normal; he enjoyed Dueling and developed crushes on others as a regular human boy would. Yuma also commented that he likes Alito even though he is a Barian since they bonded over their Duels. [7]
Contrary to the other Barians, who take their mission as priority, sometimes regardless of the methods employed, Alito prefers to Duel and nothing excites him more than a Duel that he can play seriously. Alito has also demonstrated that he learns from his past Duels, as after his first defeat against Yuma, he came prepared with new cards that gave him an advantage on a similar situation in which he would have lost. Alito is shown to be the most honorable among the Barians, preferring to Duel fairly and head-on without resorting to any underhanded tactics to gain the advantage. He also has good sportsmanship, praising Yuma's Dueling skills and graciously telling Astral to take his "Number" and soul after losing the Duel, though it did not work. [1] [2]
Referencing his Deck, Alito frequently makes puns on boxing, as evidenced during his attempts to woo Tori Meadows by using words like "punch" and "counter" many times.
After awakening from his slumber by Don Thousand 's powers, Alito's personality changed, being more aggressive and rude to Dumon and Mizar. Along with his darker persona, Alito also showed no recollection of his friendship with Yuma and was obsessed with defeating him. [3] He was willing to use dirty tricks to defeat his opponents, such as forcing Nistro to use " Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force ". [8] He reverts back to his normal self after losing to Yuma and Astral again in their fourth duel together. [9]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Alito challenged Yuma Tsukumo to an all-out- Duel as he was the winner of the Team Duel Tournament . [1]
Alito later appeared at the opening ceremonies of the Duel Team Carnival , having formed a team with Girag and Rei Shingetsu . [2]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Amanda is a fair-skinned girl with blue eyes and puffy burgundy hair arranged in two bunches on teach side of her hair. She wears a white long shirt under a dark pink vest with brown lines, and studded earrings.

Amanda is the most responsible of her trio, generally acting as the voice of reason in comparison to Frank and Tarren , though she is not above teasing them.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Jesse's usual outfit consists of a blue above-waist-length jacket with dark blue outlines, a lavender shirt with frilled cuffs at the wrists of his sleeves, and black pants which are held up with a white belt. His teal hair juts in backward and down directions. He carries an Academy-issued Duel Disk on his left wrist. His outfit when possessed by Yubel, was a dark blue vest with belts strapped onto the front, and a black tank top underneath.

Much like Jaden, Jesse is a passionate duelist who likes to duel for fun. He is very nice, friendly and generous. Just like Jaden, Jesse has a strong link with his cards, he considers it like his family. He will go to great lengths to protect it. He doesn't want it to fall in the wrong hands. However, unlike Jaden he is more serious and mature and a little bit shy.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Nelson has silver hair with long bangs swept to the left, lime-green eyes and has fair skin. Nelson tends to wear the same outfit as his Sparrow character, a white spandex body suit with matching boots with different shades of blue and yellow trimming. He also wears a golden brown-stripe belt with a hostler for his retractable whip, a blue cape and red mask, which also hold his special Duel Gazer . While wearing his mask, Nelson has his hair styled in an upward fashion and wears dangling blue earrings.
In his casual clothes, Nelson wears a blue, short-sleeves shirt over gray, long-sleeves shirt with black strips and brown pants with two straps on the side of his hips with matching shoes.

Despite being a famous celebrity, Nelson is a rather timid boy, even to the point of being afraid of things such as spiders, as opposed to his brave and heroic TV show counterpart. In the dub, he describes himself as "...just a middle schooler from the suburbs". Nelson often feels very lonely because he always to keep his public image as the "Sparrow" and can never be himself with people. Although usually mild-mannered, Nelson displays some degree of boldness as he quickly approached Yuma Tsukumo and whisk him away without the boy's consent, though he is rather intimidated by his mother. [1]
Nelson speaks using the boyish pronoun "boku", but when acting as "Sparrow" he used the more masculine pronoun "ore" and speaks in a deeper voice. [1] Sometime after his Duel with Yuma, he solely refer to himself using "boku", showing he's being more himself. [2]

Nelson offers his cards to Yuma .

Nelson is very fond of Yuma, since Yuma is the first person to tell him to be himself. When Nelson first met Yuma, he opened up to Yuma about his loneliness and even directly asked Yuma to be his friend. Even under the " Numbers " influence, Nelson tells Yuma to stay away from him when he was causing havoc around Heartland City for Yuma's own safety. [1] After their Duel, Nelson continues to admire Yuma for his never-give-up " kattobingu " spirit and was happy to see him when they met again. Nelson perceptively notices Yuma's talent to make people happy through Dueling, as Nelson was one of them, and he encourages Yuma continue to make people smile through Dueling. [2] When Yuma getting ready for his Duel Astral , Nelson was the first among Yuma's friends to try to lend Yuma his cards. [3]
According to Astral and Yuma, Nelson has changed since their last Duel, being bolder and more himself since breaking free from his mother's pressure, and said that his style of Dueling has change too. During the World Duel Carnival , Nelson shows to be quite flashy when acting as the "Star Sparrow" around his fans, but maintains his polite and modest nature. [2]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

When he reveals himself in his incomplete form to Yami Yugi , Anubis was shown as a tanned muscular and pulsating man with dirty blonde hair, red eyes, and a jewel embedded to his forehead. His clothing consisted of a black cape attached to spiked padding which were held by strings, along with gray shoulder pads, black pants, and the Pyramid of Light hanging around his neck.
When Yugi had a vision after being driven unconscious by a strange force when looking at the pyramid, he saw Kaiba being grabbed by Anubis who had a black jackal-like head with a white muzzle instead of his human head and his was not pulsating.
After losing the Duel to Yugi, Anubis used the power of the center jewel of the Pyramid of Light to assume a monster form that started off as slime until forming an armored jackal-like monster that could stand on his hind legs, possessed bladed wings, and an axe like blade on top of his head, and the Pyramid's jewel in the center of his chest.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Apollo also wears brown sandals, and an elaborate maroon collar lined with gold and with attached orange shoulder page. Apollo has a large golden pendant around his neck with the design of the sun, and and orange helmet and greaves, both lined with gold; the helmet obscures Apollo's eyes.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Unlike the other survivors of the apocalyptic future, his cyborg form didn't resemble his younger self, as he existed as a combination of his embodiments. He had the face, half of his hair color, and lower body of Primo , the other half of his hair color and Duel Disk of Lester , and the large physique and gloved hands of Jakob . In addition, the three smaller jewels on each of their heads combined into a large one on his forehead. He had multilayered blue eyebrows and red eyes, in addition to fangs.

Linework of a damaged Aporia.

Aporia wears a white bodysuit with a chest pattern resembling that of his ace card, " Meklord Astro Mekanikle ".

When Aporia first fought Team 5D's , he stated that he was an embodiment of despair because of what he had suffered in the original future. [2] However, after fighting so many times against the Signers , Aporia's personality transformed. His first shift in personality was through the claim that he felt neither hope or despair, and that the only thing he needed were machines and felt his android form was superior to his organic body. [3] Afterwards, he had gotten to the point where he believed the human heart was a useless thing and that because of its existence, mistakes and the eventual despair were created. During his Duel against Jack , Leo and Luna , he became briefly unstable, first by remaining in cold logic and mostly emotionless after he easily took out a majority of his opponents' Life Points [4] , but later burst into fear and despair when things were turned in his opponents' favor while trying to deny he felt any despair. Jack points out what he feels wasn't despair, but hope. Aporia realizes this and admits it after losing. [5] After this loss, Aporia stated to Team 5D's that the true reason he had continued to live even after suffering for so long, was that because he himself never lost hope, believing that it could be found within the depths of despair: effectively fighting for the very hope he had deemed futile. [6]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Aqua, much like her fellow Ignis, is a humanoid, digital being. Her hips are more hourglass shaped, as she is the only female. She has twin pigtails that levitate from her head. Her eyes are pink with eyelash marks. In pure data form, her eyes are yellow and her body is sky blue prism like data. In her physical form, her body is icy blue with blue raindrop shaped markings, one resembling a skirt accessory. In stature, Aqua is one of the shorter Ignis, with Windy being the only one shorter than her. [1]

Aqua is a responsible, caring, and perceptive Ignis who has the skill to tell the difference between truth and lies, which has kept the Ignis and Cyberse out of harm's way until now. She is generally shown to be quite calm and elegant in mannerisms, being able to keep her composure even when angered, as seen when she spoke to Bohman . According to Ai, she was the Ignis that wanted peace within Cyberse the most and unlikely to betray the others. It is also revealed by Lightning and Ai that she was one of the Ignis who wanted to coexist with humans.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Iggy has blue eyes and lined skin on his face, with wild purple hair that reaches a third of the way down his back. He wears multiple layers on his upper body; a red sleeveless shirt with gold collar and armholes over a light purple shirt with tattered sleeves, a green bandanna knotted around his neck, and an orange sash attached to a yellow-lined, maroon section of cloth attached at the stomach. His arms are mostly bare bar charcoal-colored armguards. He also wears dark teal pants, bandages wrapped around his shins, and dark tan socks, with black shoes that have the toes turned up.

In his Duels , he has been shown as a very violent person, repeatedly physically assaulting his opponent during Action Duels to prevent them from getting any Action Cards in order to win at any cost. He used to also be stubborn, refusing help from Yuya at the end of their first Duel. However, after his second Duel against Yuya, Iggy didn't reject his help after losing and left on good terms with Yuya.
Iggy is a bit of a hypocrite as he claimed Yuya disrespected him in their first Duel, when in truth he kept pushing the normally good natured Yuya until he snapped and Awakened . His hypocrisy reaches its height when he is willing to accept Dennis' offer of selling out his own dimension all for the chance to get his revenge on Yuya when the latter has nothing against him.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Mr. Armstrong is a dark skinned male with brown eyes and a bald head which is covered by a Sector Security cap. He also has a large, pointed black beard. Mr. Armstrong's most notable features are his height and weight, both of which make him one of the largest characters in the series. His weight problems are made more evident in the English adaptation as he warns Yusei to not make him miss his lunch due to his blood sugar levels. His outfit consists of a dark green Sector Security uniform with the sleeves rolled up to his shoulders, a black belt with a rope and Deck box attached. He also wears brown arm bands that extend from his wrists to his elbows.

Mr. Armstrong is a tyrant who runs The Facility with an iron fist to the extent that he abuses his power, finding amusement in torturing the inmates as well as framing them for crimes they didn't commit. When upset enough he is willing to even go against Rex Goodwins orders (which was to only keep observing Yusei. In the dub however he doesn't go against Rex Goodwin's order; for Rex Goodwin ordered him to set up a situation so Yusei would Duel him). He also holds a great deal of hatred towards Yusei, as he believes someone from Satellite isn't worthy of being a Signer. [1]
He is also shown to be a sadist as he thoroughly enjoyed torturing Yusei for information about his Signer birthmark as well as finding pleasure in pulling out his nose hair and blowing it into the inmates' faces. [2] In the original, Mr. Armstrong refers to himself using the honorific ore-sama ; the rough translation of this in English would be "My honorable self". Like other characters seen early on in the series, he looks down on residents from Satellite, referring to them as "trash".

The Chief's sadistic laugh.

Mr. Armstrong is also shown to be extremely cunning and devious as during his Duel with Yusei, he rigs the chain attached to his Duel Disk to prevent the electric current from electrocuting him. In addition, he has absolutely no honor, as he utilizes the cameras around The Facility to gain information about the cards in Yusei's hand and field, and goes back on his word to let Yusei and his friends go after losing. [3]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Like all students from the Knights of the Duel Disks , Ashley wears a suit of plate armor without a helmet. He has dark green hair that is longer at the back, and also wears a green cape.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Being an energy being of the Astral World, Astral has a transparent blue body with green markings and blue gems all over his body. He has blue hair that curls up in a Mohawk and pointed ears, which are pierced with dangling earrings. Astral also has heterochromic eyes, the left eye being luminous gold and the right a clear white. Astral's body is also very thin. In the English dub, Astral's lower body is sometimes blurred off to remove nudity implications.

Astral's appearance.

In a flashback showing Astral's birth, he is briefly shown with both of his eyes being gold and the right side of his body being the same opaque blue as the left side normally is.
When falling under the influence of Chaos, Astral develops a darker color scheme on the left half of his body, has a black outline on his outer body and emits a red aura.

Although Astral has amnesia, he has a very intelligent and calm attitude when it comes to Dueling. Even in disastrous situations, he does not seem to lose his cool and can think of a strategy to get out of it. Outside this, arguably because of his memory loss and sudden arrival to another world, he is curious to the point of naivety, for matters as simple as eating, going to the bathroom, [19] or knowing that TV shows are not real. [20] His naivety would go to such extent so as to ask Yuma why "he needs to be alone" when Yuma's in the bathroom, to which he replies by saying that anyone who sees him in there would "die" (in the dub, Yuma says that that someone would turn into a "guinea pig") otherwise, a thing that Astral took literally. [19]
When he "discovers" things, he has an habit of saying "observation number one, two, three" (which used to annoy Yuma) and then speak the result of his analysis; the fact that he can successfully continue the counting throughout the series implies he has great memory. Astral's observations stopped after their first Duel with Kite Tenjo , which left him quiet and depressed. [21] However, after their Duel with Fortuno , which restored his and Yuma's confidence, his observations returned. In the dub, this observation came with a "sub-observation" that he labelled #13-A. [22] As Astral continues to learn about the human world, he showed great interest of feelings and friendship from observing Yuma and becoming more human in the process. During a Duel with Vetrix , Yuma started to eat the rice balls that Tori gave him prior to the Duel which allowed Astral, who was fused with him to feel the sensation of eating for the first time. He felt incredibly energetic and lively by the taste of the rice balls, stating he wanted to eat "two, or three" more of them, while cheerfully saying that being Yuma has been fun in a rather comedic instance. [23]
Astral has a fear of cats, which he defended by claiming that he hadn't done any observations about them, [4] but seems to gotten over it later on. [24] After Dueling with Kite Tenjo for the first time, he developed a strong fear towards him, so he always tries to tell Yuma to run from Kite instead of fighting him, to the point of telling Yuma to forget his friends. He first denied that he was afraid of Kite, but later admitted. [25] Later during the Duel with Fortuno , Astral overcame his fear and decided to actually fight. After he and Yuma thought about their previous Duels, stating they came too far to lose now, Yuma called Astral his friend, restoring his fighting spirit. [22]
During their duels, Astral often says "The winning formula is complete" whenever he and Yuma are ready to make their comeback.
Usually stoic and cool, Astral does not smile much, but he smiled for the first time when Yuma recognized him as his comrade. [22] Afterwards, Astral begins to smile more often at Yuma since then and even cheered him on with his friends and family when he was trying to do his 20-stack challenge. [26] He still retain his withdrawn nature and tendency to keep his most of thoughts to himself. When observing and learning things unknown and important to him, Astral will only voice speculations once he gathers more evident proof or when a problem presents itself, such as telling Yuma about the world inside the Emperor's Key only after gaining a handful of " Numbers " cards and learning of its origins. [7]
Later, Yuma pointed out that Astral was starting to act like him, more daring and willing to take risks, much to Astral's denial. [27]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Astral is an energy being from Astral World with clear blue and transparent body that consists of green markings and blue gems all over his body. He has blue hair that curls up in a Mohawk and pointed ears, which are pierced with dangling earrings. Astral has heterochromatic eyes; the left eye luminous gold and the right is a clear white. His ears resemble that of an elf.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Fake Jack and his Duel Runner look similar in appearance to Jack and Phoenix Whirlwind . The only differences from the original are that he (both his clothes and physical appearance) and his Duel Runner  have a darker color scheme than that of the real Jack and his Phoenix Whirlwind and that his eyes are red instead of violet. In addition, the Fake features a small, jagged red tattoo underlining each eye.

Fake Jack behaves much like Jack was before becoming friends with Yusei again, such as being obsessed as the King of Duelists and claiming the "King's Dueling must be for entertainment". He also performs the same Synchro chant as Jack for " Red Dragon Archfiend ". [1] He appears again in Tag Force 5, where he has adopted a friendlier personality (so as to better interact with the Player), whilst keeping his prideful demeanour. His ending photo in his story implies that he may also like Blue-Eyes Mountain , yet another trait that he shares with Jack.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Jack's character design is made by Shuji Maruyama . [ citation needed ] Jack has purple eyes, fair skin and spiked blonde hair, with two much longer strands in front of his ears that hang further down the rest of his hair. His other accessories include a neckband, similar to the one worn by Yugi Muto , a belt buckle and earrings in the shape of the letter A, the first letter of his last name. Jack wears a long white trench coat lined with purple with spiked shoulders over a white plunging shirt, grey pants, and white boots. In Turbo Duels , he wears a white form-fitting motorcycling suit with a similar design to his coat, as well as a basic white helmet.

In the dub, Jack has a British cockney accent. He pronounces words like "little", "better" and "settle" as "lit'l", "bet'r" and "set'l" and words like "I" "my" and "me" as "ai", "moi" and "mei". He also makes puns on biking.
Jack's personality is similar to Seto Kaiba 's; he is somewhat cold-hearted, and often acts as an anti-hero. Jack is an arrogant man at the beginning of the story who thinks of his opponents as little more than entertainment for himself and his audience. As King, he believed in a pursuit philosophy; where that he would drive himself into his own pinches only to crush his opponents with his absolute comeback strategies. However, after losing to his former friend Yusei , Jack realizes what he's been missing as King and decides on starting his own journey to becoming a real Duelist. Upon meeting Carly Carmine , he realizes the error of his ways, and tries to repay Yusei and the others.
Unlike Seto Kaiba however, Jack is more emotional and hot-headed who later openly shows his caring for his friends as the series progresses and he matures.
Jack can be manipulative, up to the point of even using his friends to get what he wants. However, he eventually realizes the error of his ways and becomes less manipulative. During his Duels he states that he enjoys entertaining the crowd and as such is often very theatrical with his Duels. He is known as the King of Turbo Duels, but mainly goes by The King. (In the dub, he has titles, such as "Master of Faster", "King of Cards" and "King".) He talks of himself in the third person and announces to the crowd, before, during and after his Duels, "There is only one King! That is me!". (In the dub, he uses phrases, such as "Let's kick this Turbo Duel into overdrive!" at the beginning of his professional Duels. When he wins a Duel, he will often say, "Who's the Master of Faster? Who rules the Duel? That's right, it's me, Jack Atlas!").
During his Duel with Goodwin , Jack states that he gives up becoming King and is fighting for Carly and the rest of his friends. After Goodwin's defeat, he works with Yusei and Crow to help those in need rather than focusing on his own ambition, but he still maintains a grumpy attitude. He can be very much insensitive to those around him, such as his final conversation with Carly before he left the city. [5]
Jack has few applicable or even social skills other than Dueling and has been consequently fired from several jobs in one day. He also has problems with spending money as Crow grills him for spending 3000 yen (about $30 US at the time) on a single cup of coffee and being 36000 yen (about $360 US at the time) in debt to said coffee shop. [6] He has a great love for ramen [7] that spans from his early days when he would eat ramen along with his friends at Martha's home. [8]
He also believes that Dueling is a clash between souls, and that one who uses cards of darkness instead doesn't deserve to Duel. [9] He has a strong pride as a Duelist, as seen when he got deeply upset when he found out that Rex Goodwin had made Dragan lose on purpose to Jack in the past, to the point of grabbing Lazar angrily and shouting at Leo. [10]
In the dub, his personality is quite a bit more malicious and his redemption and change of personality is lessened considerably, compared to his original Japanese counterpart; he framed his former friend Rally with the Duel Runner chip, for example, when in the original, Rally stole it himself and Jack is completely uninvolved and oblivious. He also remains quite mean, harsh and arrogant after his meeting with Carly, versus his greatly softened original counterpart who seems much more like a man who actually makes attempts to redeem himself.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Jack's design is similar to that of his Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's counterpart. Jack has purple eyes, fair skin and spiked blonde hair, with two  longer strands in front of his ears that hang further down the rest of his hair. His other accessories include a neckband, a belt buckle, and earrings in the shape of the letter A (the first letter of his last name). Jack wears a long white trench coat (lined with purple), with his shoulders spiked over a white plunging shirt. He also wears a gray undershirt not worn by his original counterpart.
Jack also commonly wears a Turbo suit that is similar in design to his casual clothes; the top portion of the suit closely resembles his coat, with a slightly smaller collar, an undersuit of the same material underneath, full gloves, and no spikes on the shoulder pauldrons, while the trailing straps of his upper suit extend under his belt and to his knees. He retains the belt and boots that he wears out of his Turbo suit, and also wears a white helmet with a green visor and a purple peak.

Jack's personality is similar to his 5D's version ; he is a confident and powerful Duelist who believes his own power can overcome his enemies. He can be boastful and arrogant in this regard, successfully predicting how the Duel would play out before his Turbo Duel against Yuya Sakaki . Jack said that Yuya would be overwhelmed by his power. According to Sam , Jack's apparent arrogance is a product of his time he spent among the Topsiders citizens, but Chojiro Tokumatsu later theorized that Jack's somewhat annoyed demeanor is due to other Duelists not being powerful enough to test his own limits; when Yuya Sakaki finally did so (by maximizing Pendulum-Synchro) in Jack's eyes; Jack was ecstatic. Similar to his 5D's counterpart, Jack is generally more malicious in the dub than in the Japanese, but he retains his instructive side.
Jack also sees himself as an Dueltainer , but his philosophy on this is quite different from Yuya's, who uses flashy presentation and tricks. He believes strength in Dueling itself is used to entertain the crowd and views Yuya's Dueltaining as self-satisfaction only. After witnessing Yuya use Sam's " Tuning Magician " to Synchro Summon " Enlightenment Paladin " and win against Shinji , Jack started to respect Yuya. [9] Unlike his 5D's counterpart, Jack does not show surprise as easily, as he didn't bat an eye to Yuya performing the unheard of Pendulum Summoning in the Synchro Dimension , nor was he shocked at all when Sergey fused with his Duel Runner and even called it boring. [1] [3] However, he was quite surprised when Yuya Synchro Summoned without using a Tuner monster. He maintains a high level of honor while Dueling, saving Sergey's life when he was about to fall off the course the first time and attempting to do so the second and last time. [4] Upon losing to Yuya and consequently losing his title as Duel King, Jack graciously accepted his defeat and welcomed Yuya as his successor, and he even showed comical anger when Yuya accidentally continued to refer to him as "King" after their Duel. Jack is also very perceptive; he was able to guess Riley's backstory rather accurately, as well as deduce that Declan had a purpose of his own.
Like his 5D's counterpart, Jack believes that Duels are a clash of souls, and he shares a strong bond with his ace monster, "Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend", calling it a symbol of his Dueling and his soul. His bond with his ace is so strong that he consistently prevents it from being destroyed as seen in his Duel with Sergey. However, he is greatly disapproves of Yuya's Dueltaining philosophy as merely an imitation of his father's and urges him to make his own Dueling instead. In the dub, Jack collects his beliefs under the ideal of the "gift of grit", believing that one who has the grit will be a strong Duelist.
Similar to Yugo, Jack prefers to remain on his Duel Runner while Dueling, whether he is Turbo Dueling or not.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Jack has violet eyes, fair skin and spiked blonde hair. His other accessories include a neckband, a belt buckle and earrings in the shape of the letter A, the first letter of his last name.
During his time at the facility as a kid, Jack wore a white shirt with the number 11 written on each sides of his sleeves along with white pants and shoes.

Having being raised to be a King, Jack is highly egoistic, only caring about himself and victory. This is shown when he would mercilessly defeat Duelists in the V.S.S.L. facility, not caring for his opponent's feelings. This was also shown when he rode over scrapped Duel Runners , destroying them in the process. Jack is also shown to be extremely vindictive, chasing the one who stole his Duel Dragon from him when he was younger.
Jack holds little, if any faith in bonds and friendship, due to Kalin Kessler 's betrayal and theft of his Duel Dragon when they were younger, and is a firm believer in his own power. He is shown to be somewhat power-hungry, pursuing the power of the Ultimate God after learning about it, but he allowed Yusei to Duel Sect Ijuin despite knowing that Yusei would gain the power if he won, viewing it as a handicap for his Duel with Yusei. Despite this, Jack is surprisingly philosophical when it comes to the matter of Dueling and his responsibility as the King.
After Dueling Kalin Kessler at the remains of the facility, Jack seems to show more kindness toward him, as he references his "handless combo" while Dueling Rex, and seems to forgive Kalin, telling him to keep his Duel Dragon and use it to face him again after composing a new strategy.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Banner's character design was overseen by Kenichi Hara . His usual outfit consists of a white shirt, black pants, belt and necktie. His black hair is tied back in a ponytail. Throughout the entire series, Banner's red eyes are constantly hidden behind their lids and a pair of square-lensed glasses, except during the second half of his Duel with Jaden .
The concept illustrations for Banner's facial expressions were identical for both Amnael and Banner.

Voice/Mannerisms [ ]

In the dub, both Banner and his alter ego have Germanic accents (more obvious in Amnael's case) which is fitting, as many famous alchemists came from Germany.
In the original version, he often interjects the onomatopoeia nya (meow) into his sentences, referencing his attachment to Pharaoh. As Amnael, his voice becomes slightly deeper and more intense, no longer adding nya to his sentences, though his original manner of speaking returns after his defeat.

His personality appears to be that of a laid back, friendly, and caring teacher, often considered weird or goofy by his students but still highly respected. However, he shows himself to be more focused and serious when it comes to personal matters.
Banner's personality varies greatly from his original Japanese in terms of his actions and intentions during the Duel with Jaden . In the dub, Banner lies about having rigged all of Jaden's Duels so that he would be chosen as one of the Spirit Key holders and later on confesses that he joined the Shadow Riders to prepare him for the final battle against Kagemaru . In the original, Banner never does this, but instead views Jaden as a "fusion genius" who must face adversity head on in order to learn the secrets of alchemy which have allowed him to triumph.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Barrett is a tall man with a stocky build. He has dark green spiky hair swept back, and crimson eyes. He wears a green jacket with four visible pouches on the chest area and sleeves, over a black shirt and what appear to be bandages covering his arms. He also wears gray pants with a black belt and black shoes. His neck is adorned with a silver pendant around his neck. After being caught in an explosion, his left eye was damaged, leaving a huge scar that is partially concealed with an eye-patch. Likewise, he gained an X-shaped scar on his chest partially covered by his shirt.

As a war veteran Barrett is a disciplined individual, placing his duty as his top priority, as seen when he decided to accompany Celina to ensure her protection, although at the same time it seems he is not close minded as he decided against attempting to stop her from leaving the Fusion Dimension .
Barrett takes pride on his accomplishments in battling and believes that war medals are the honor of a soldier, going to the point of saying Declan deserves a medal for paying Life Points for the use of his cards. He is a firm believer in taking the first strike to gain the advantage, declaring so in his Duels before taking the first turn.
Barrett takes serious pride in his Dueling and respects valiant and persevering opponents highly. He continued his Duel with Yuya Sakaki when the latter showed the resolve to continue a nearly hopeless Duel, even though he himself concluded that with Zuzu's arrival to their location, it had become a pointless Duel. Wishing to finish a Duel with such an opponent, he protested heavily to Sergey Volkov 's interference from this perspective, rather than against Sergey's rivaling objectives. [1]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

The Battle Beast's design seems to be based two-fold, around a Roman gladiator (like his Deck) and also of an archetypal barbarian. While young, the Battle Beast is tall and rather muscular with a lean, well-built frame with a wide chest and large shoulders. His hair is reddish brown and very long, as it passes his shoulders and reaches his back, while also sporting two bangs, both of which almost reach his abdomen. Due to him wearing very little clothing, most of his frame is revealed. The only real clothes he wears are a pair of ragged trousers/shorts, which further emphasizes the brutish theme of his design. He wears a very simplistic necklace with three green fangs and two red orbs, with the center fang being visibly the longest of them. He also wears black wristbands, and has a white armband on his right arm's biceps. On the left side of his upper body, he has a black armband/gladiatorial-like shoulder pauldron, with orange studs around the circumference. Cementing his barbarian motif even further, he walks barefoot.

Blindly competitive and savage, to the degree of coming off as feral, the Battle Beast has no problem in defeating his own comrades and sealing them into cards. Even sealing his opponents may not necessarily save them from the Battle Beast's wrath; he once attempted to crush a card containing one of his victims. Even when calm, he is shown to be very arrogant and sadistic, reveling in others' fear and suffering while showing no restraint. When called out on his actions, the Battle Beast only responds with absolute indifference. His competitiveness can be used against him to a degree; Yuya Sakaki , Gong Strong , and Crow Hogan all exploited this in order to cause him to target them. His savagery is such that he is referred as being "Duel starved" and has show violent tendencies like physically assaulting his opponents if needed.
Despite his savagery and undeniable skill, the Battle Beast seems to something of a coward; attacking from the shadows and retreating behind his Continuous Trap Cards when cowed. This is further reflected in his playstyle, given the tag-out effects of the " Gladiator Beasts ". BB seems to struggle dealing with constant pressure and threats from Sanders and dislikes taking orders from him. Ultimately, BB dislikes having to fight and only does so for self-preservation, when threatened to be sealed into a card, BB snapped and rebelled against Sanders.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Emma is a tall young woman with fair skin. She has long pink hair with lavender bangs and pink eyes. She also wears reddish-pink lipstick. She wears a black and dark violet motorcycle outfit with a pink t-shirt underneath with purple stripes going across her body, a black belt at the waistline, kneepads and a deckbox holstered on her right thigh. She also wears a black choker, black and purple boots and sports black fingerless gloves on both of her hands.
As Ghost Gal, Emma's bangs, eyes, and part of her hair change from lavender and pink to gray. She wears a black mask that covers the lower half of her face which is connected to her black short-sleeved undershirt. Her outfit is a one-piece outfit resembling her real world suit: a black and dark violet vest with a zipper and shorts with mauve lining, matching stockings and black and grey boots. She retains her belt, deckbox and her gloves are shorter and have cuffs.
When Emma uses her skill, Secret Cure, the mauve parts of her outfit glow pink.

Ghost Gal's initial design. Ghost Gal's LINK VRAINS 2.0 design. 1/2

After the creation of NEW LINK VRAINS , Emma's outfit as Ghost Gal has been redesigned: she no longer wears her mask, her collar has been changed, her mauve stripes are now hot pink, her gloves have been altered and, along with her belt, are now dark purple. Part of her sides are now white, she has shoulder pads, the belt buckle is now in the shape of a gold and dark olive "G" with a similarly colored diamond where her zipper was.
While at home, Emma wears a white t-shirt under a pink-lined, dark purple short-sleeved, hooded shirt and matching shorts, also resembling her motorcycle suit. It appears she is usually barefoot.

She is shown to be a mercenary Duelist/hacker for hire. She is cunning, playful, devious and skilled as shown when she trapped Playmaker . She also appears to have an interest in Playmaker. Emma shows little concern over which side of a conflict she takes as long as she gets paid and is even willing to backstab people she's worked with before. She prefers showing her clients proof that she indeed has the data they want before giving them the full archives as a show of trust.
Emma studies her opponents and surroundings carefully and makes close and precise assumptions to their moves. Thus, she uses this knowledge as she sees fit.
Emma does show some legitimate concern for Akira Zaizen though, informing him of her plans if she feels it will benefit him as well. This also extends towards his younger sister, Skye Zaizen , as well, showing a particularly soft spot for her, encouraging her to take action when needed. She also cares a lot for her older half-brother, Kenneth Drayden , showing genuine concern for him during his duel against Lightning .
In Season 2, Emma retains much of her original personality but is more considerate and helpful at times, as seen when she refused to join the hunt against Playmaker out of gratitude, helping Kolter save Soulburner , and helping Akira protect humanity against Lightning, and dueling The Shepherd to save Aqua, which shows that when lives are at stake, not all her actions are out of monetary concern.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Kit is a slightly below-average height teen with long spiky brown hair and amber eyes. His canines appear to be longer than normal and often stick out of his mouth. Kit wears a dark blue long-sleeved shirt and pants under a tan jacket with an orange interior (with his LID badge pinned on the collar) and the sleeves torn off, brown socks, and burnt-orange and grey shoes. He carries a Shinai, typically used for training in Kendo , that he uses to find Action Cards in Action Duels; by swinging it hard enough to create gusts of wind that dislodge the cards; though his reaction to an apparent impending physical assault is to ready it, suggesting that he might also use it to protect himself.

Kit appears to be less arrogant and more confident in his skills than his friends, claiming (and arguably justifiably) that he was the strongest of his fellow Course-representatives. That being said, he's willing to acknowledge when he's in trouble or when he's actually impressed by his opponent. He also seems to hold some pride as a teacher, believing that the Synchro Summoning he taught to Gong might prevent Yuya from getting into the Junior Arc League Championship when they Dueled, and getting furious when Gong didn't defeat Grizzlepike effectively.
He demonstrates camaraderie with Julia and Dipper, though he was less supportive of her efforts to find Professor Marco; when she directly asked him to help, he did so, even breaking off his training of Gong.
Kit does have a slight mean streak, however, dismissing Julia and Dipper as weaklings, and after Yuya Sakaki asked Declan if he knew his father Yusho, Kit made some derisive comments about him. In the English dub, Kit nicknames Gong "Big Brows", much to the latter's irritation.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Blister has an unkempt appearance, sporting stubble. He also has short brown hair and brown eyes. His attire consists of a sleeveless, green jacket with a ripped design along the shoulders which he wears over a long-sleeved white shirt. He also wears brown pants with two belts, one of which has a Deckbox attached. In the past, Blister wore an orange neckerchief. During his trip to Satellite , Blister wore a brown fedora. [4]

Originally, Blister was a happy person, but after his friendship with Aero faltered, he developed a pessimistic outlook on friendship, valuing the company of technology and himself over others. [2] After Yusei told him that Aero most likely sent " Machina Sniper " to him as a sign of their friendship, he began to trust in bonds again, even risking himself getting arrested to assist Yusei. [5]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Bohman is a dark-skinned man, with orange eyes that have the irises lined in yellow. His hair is long and wild, flaring out in the shape of his shoulders, and is predominantly brown with the top section blonde and a small section of red at the border between brown and blonde hair, and a thin orange fringe, eyebrows, a large bang of orange hair, and orange braids held in aquamarine bands that extend from his sideburns. An aquamarine diamond symbol is on his forehead and chin; the one on his chin melds with his red "chin-strap", which in turn melds with the pink sections on his cheeks. Bohman is extremely muscular, leaving his upper torso mostly bare.
Bohman's avatar has three appearances in Link VRAINS : the first one is a skintight jumpsuit that is silver on the legs, purple on the knees and calves, and pale-blue on the feet and the torso, which exposes his abs, chest, and shoulders; the torso section covers his sides and underarms, and wraps around his biceps, ending in purple cuffs. A strange, star-shaped symbol resembling the Southern Cross appears prominently in Bohman's design, occasionally attached to a diamond-shape at one of the points; a yellow one on his bare chest, yellow ones on his ankle cuffs, orange sections that are part of his braids, and blue ones on his forearms.
The second one is graphite armor-based with a golden belt that has the Hydradrive monsters' faceplate as a buckle, and white sections on the segmented torso plates, the sides down the armor kilt, and the legs and waist area. The armor also sports Royal Fuchsia sections on the vambraces, knee and ankle areas, and the collar area around his neck that's connected on the back armor, and the armor sleeves on his arms are divided underneath the shoulders. The collar, large pauldrons, inner shoulder pads, the protruding collars on the arm sleeves, the wrist section on the vambraces and the studs on the fingerless gloves have a golden colored rim. This armor also has the same star symbol from Bohman's first avatar: one on the chest, a large one on each vambrace, and one on each knee.
The third one, also Bohman's complete form, is adorned with a graphite robe with a white center and an orange star symbol, white pants, and graphite boots. The robe has pale-blue shoulder padding with a two-section golden borders connecting to the golden collar and a purple plating with a golden border underneath the pauldrons. Bohman has pale-blue forearm wrist sections with a gold ring on the upper wrist and the star symbol connected to the two-section golden rings on the back. The front of the robe is white with an orange star symbol, has a golden border with a golden triangle, and connected to a pale-blue front robe flap with a two-section gold border at the tip. The robe has a two-band orange belt around the waist on the purple-stripe, and the end of the robe has a two-section golden border. The boots are graphite with a two-section golden border at the top connected to a four-point star, and a golden toe section with a purple welt.

Bohman was introduced as a tortured and confused individual with having no memories of his own; a result of being in an imperfect state that required Harlin keeping him mentally sound. After being given Yusaku's memories, he beings to have a more realized personality albeit develops a rivalry with the former, falsely believing himself to be the real Playmaker. Though both he and Harlin are AI, Bohman cares greatly for his manufactured brother and enjoys spending time with him, even when Harlin insisted their relationship was fake and they weren't actually brothers. Bohman disagreed and continued to treat him as his brother and wanted to continue said brotherly relationship even when fully realised despite Harlin stating he would then be useless to him. Even with Harlin hating Bohman due to Bohman being made as his replacement, Bohman still loved his brother and was upset/angry after he was deleted.
After reaching his finalized state, Bohman's demeanor is fully realised having a mature and confident demeanor as he works to fulfil his goal of uniting all the Ignis into one, thereby achieving prosperity for AI through any means necessary. He is very respectful, praising Ai for having human instinct, complimenting Blue Maiden's conviction and dueling, and even giving Skye the chance to see her brother again before she was erased. Bohman can also be honourable at times, stopping Lightning when he attacked an unconscious Playmaker and complimenting his opponents during duels, believing in defeating his enemies fair and square. After Windy's interfering, Bohman tells Windy to stop. After Flame's terminated, Bohman apologized to Soulburner for not able to stop Windy's interruption. Despite all of these positive qualites he demonstrated, he is also very arrogant and sadistic, bragging about destroying the Cyberse World to spite Ai.
After he finished defeating Blue Maiden and Soulburner, Bohman is also patient as he was willing to wait for his duel against Playmaker until Varis and Lightning's duel is over. Bohman is interested in simulations of the Ignis and their capacity to interact with humans. Bohman dislikes Lightning's cowardice but compliments his creator's desire to survive making him, ironically, one of the most human of the Ignis.
Bohman is also very warped in his views, as he saw no problem in using the consciousnesses of the people in LINK VRAINS to create his Data Storm. When called out on it by Ai, Bohman simply claimed that it was one of his abilities. This shows that while Bohman believes in fairness, he has no qualms hurting people to showcase his power.
However as his final duel with Playmaker continues, he is shown to be just as boastful and arrogant as Lightning. He disliked being defied and prevented from his victory, he arrogantly refuses to accept that his Neuron Link can defeated. He ultimately shared his creator's view on how the bonds between Ignis and humans was not need and mocking Ai 's sacrifice.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Skip Boyle has dark blue eyes and brown/orange hair. He often wears a red/orange jumpsuit with a green trim and red fire design. Underneath Skip wears a dark blue shirt with another fire design. He also wears a white whistle.

Skip is an enthusiastic and passionate person, often using the catchphrase "nekketsu", meaning "fired up", whenever he's excited. He is quite goofy and dramatic at times, causing Zuzu to hit him with her paper fan, but he can be serious if the situation calls for it. He takes great pride in You Show Duel School and does everything he can to make it prosper. While it seems like he can be desperate to get more students, and receive their tuition to pay the bills, he is a very caring and responsible person, who cares about Yuya, his daughter and the students more than the money.
According to Yoko Sakaki , Skip has the skills to become a Pro Duelist, but believes that winning isn't everything in a Duel. In addition, Skip acts as mentor and somewhat father-figure to Yuya Sakaki in the place of his good friend, Yusho Sakaki .


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Zuzu has blue eyes and dark pink midback-length hair, which she wears tied up in pigtails, clipped down by blue, spherical hair clips. Her hair also features two lighter pink bangs that fall to the side of her face. Zuzu's outfit consists of a sleeveless light-blue and white shirt with a green musical note on the right collar, along with a pink tie, which she wears with a maroon skirt, dark stockings, and pink sneakers. Her skirt was lengthened in the dub to cover the bare skin showing on her legs but starting from the Arc League Championship Arc , her stockings are lengthened instead. She notably is not shown wearing the school jacket from Paradise Prep School that other female students wear. She also wears a bracelet with strange abilities . These powers seem to be connected to Yuya and his counterparts , activating whenever Zuzu, Yuya and any of his counterparts are in close proximity.

Zuzu with her hair down.

Zuzu later switches clothes with Celina , but she retains her bracelet, her spherical hair clips and her Duel Disk . Later, she starts wearing some of Rin 's clothes while staying at Yugo 's orphanage in the Synchro Dimension : the first outfit was a pink top and yellow shorts. During the Friendship Cup, Zuzu wears one of Rin's Turbo Dueling outfits; a predominantly white one-piece short-sleeved jacket-miniskirt combination with light pink shoulder pads and hot pink markings, in addition to back pockets; long white gloves with light pink elbow pads that extend over her elbows, hot pink pants, and white knee-length form-fitting boots with light pink kneepads.
While in the Underground Labor Factory, Zuzu wore one of the factory's uniforms: a dark red full body suit with a hood and brown shoes without socks.
After arriving at the Fusion Dimension 's You Show Duel School , Zuzu receives a change of clothes that once belonged to Alexis when she enrolled in Duel Academy: a sleeveless white shirt with a pink pad over her chest and shoulders, a pink skirt and a white belt similar to Tori Meadows ', except with a different color scheme. She also wears white boots.

Zuzu as a child.

As a little girl, Zuzu wore a pinkish dress with her bracelet hanging around her neck as a necklace and had two blue flower hair clips tied to her pigtails before she used the spherical ones.

Zuzu has a kind, strong-willed personality coupled with an extremely short temper, the latter often resulting in her actions causing huge consequences. An example of this would be when she smashed her fists down on the Solid Vision technology computer at You Show Duel School out of annoyance at how Yuya was Dueling, which ended up destroying the machine. Zuzu also has a tendency to hit people on the head with a paper fan, primarily Yuya and her own father , whenever they do something foolish. [15] [3] She is also shown to be quite argumentative, wanting to argue with a spectator who insulted Yuya and his father before his Duel with the Sledgehammer , showing that she can be just as defensive and caring of Yuya and his belief in his father . [15]
Her perception and judgment begin to falter after her successive encounters with Yuto , due to Yuto's resemblance with Yuya, and her lack of knowledge of the subject frustrates her. [16] These worries are put at ease after the encouragement from Yuto and Yuya, reinstating her resolve and wishing to protect You Show Duel School and her friends.

She harbors feelings for Yuya, initially shown when she was blushing after Sora Perse mistook her as Yuya's girlfriend [17] and whenever Aura Sentia makes advances towards Yuya. The strongest examples so far included when she started to cry when she was worried that Yuya would never wake up while he was unconscious for a few days after his encounter with Yuto and Yugo , and upon being separated from Yuya in the Synchro Dimension .
Zuzu's kind, gentle, truthful personality with a strong sense of justice has made her the person people from all four Dimensions adore and the one with the strongest bonds with non-Standard residents. Shay and Yuto care for her due to her likeness to Lulu, and Sora and Celina are protective of her as she is their first friend and opened their eyes to the lies and cruelty of Duel Academy. In the Synchro Dimension, she is known as Entertainment Angel loved by both Tops and Commons, and Crow's three kids and Tokumatsu deeply care for her by their own right. She serves as a catalyst for the protagonists' actions.
While brainwashed by the Parasite Monster , Zuzu is emotionless and does not speak.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Bram has braided blue hair capped with yellow strands. He has blue eyebrows, brown eyes, and wears a knight's attire, with an orange scarf at the neck.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Axel Brodie is of African descent. Unlike most students, Axel does not wear a school uniform, instead sporting a red tank top and black sleeveless vest and pants. He wears a gold pendant of unknown origin around his neck.

Axel is shown to be a duelist who is very serious and has no tolerance for goofing off. This is shown when he tells the childlike Jaden that the game isn't child's play. He was very loyal to Viper at first even kidnaping Syrus to get Jaden to come and test his power. However, after learning about Viper's true plot, he turned against him and aided Jaden's group in stopping his former boss. He was a very determined person and does not give up easily in hard situations. However The Supreme King defeating Jim caused Axel to be scared and run away from facing the king. For a long time, he felt that he could not defeat the king due to lacking the strength needed to fight. However, after some support from a village as well as Syrus's help, Axel returns to the brave person he used to be and saves Jaden from the darkness at the cost of being sent to the stars. He is also brave enough to fight Trueman even if he ends up losing.
