'''Axel Brodie''', known in Japan as '''Austin O'Brien''' (オースチン・オブライエン, ''Ōsuchin Oburaien'') in Japan, is a student at the [[American Duel Academy]], who accompanies [[Principal MacKenzie]] to the main branch.

==Biography==
At one point in the past, [[Mr. Brodie (manga)|Axel's father]] fell into a coma after losing a [[Shadow Duel]]. Axel enrolled in the American Duel Academy in response in an attempt to uncover the truth. There, many other [[Duelist]]s fell unconscious and Axel began to suspect [[David Rabb]] of being the culprit.<ref name="chp57">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|57|ref}}</ref> [[Principal MacKenzie]] selected Axel as one of five students that would accompany him to the main branch of [[Duel Academy]] to participate in a tournament.<ref name="chp37">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|37|ref}}</ref> When they arrive, MacKenzie urges all of them to enjoy themselves.<ref name="chp44">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|44|ref}}</ref> Hearing of [[Chazz Princeton (manga)|Chazz Princeton]]'s [[Duel]] with David, after which David fell unconscious himself, Axel would seek out the footage from the Duel.<ref name="chp47">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|47|ref}}</ref>

The round of tournament matches consisted of [[Tag-Team Duel]]s. Axel was selected to team with [[Jim Crocodile Cook (manga)|James Crocodile Cook]] against Chazz and [[Syrus Truesdale (manga)|Syrus Truesdale]].<ref name="chp48">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|48|ref}}</ref> Though the two worked well together, they ultimately lost to the Japanese students.<ref name="chp49">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|49|ref}}</ref> The tournament moved to singles matches next, and Axel was selected to Duel Chazz. The Duel took place at the cliff. Axel asked Chazz what exactly happened during his Duel with David and also told him of his father's condition. Chazz agreed to reveal all he knew of the incident if Axel defeated him, as he was hesitant to trust him, but later determined that he was after the same thing that Chazz was - the truth.<ref name="chp57" />

Chazz gained the advantage in the Duel, but Axel Summoned "[[The Blazing Mars (manga)|The Blazing Mars]]", a [[Legendary Planet]] given to him by MacKenzie. Seeing darkness emanating from the [[monster]], Chazz believed himself to be in another Shadow Duel. [[Tragoedia (character)|Tragoedia]] possessed Axel at this point, telling Chazz that it wasn't a Shadow Duel, but that the Duel must be finished.<ref name="chp58">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|58|ref}}</ref> Tragoedia reduced Chazz to 100 [[Life Points]] by [[Tribute|Tributing]] four "[[Machine Token]]s" with the [[effect]] of "Mars". His attack was stopped by "[[Durability (Dragon's Endurance)]]" and victory is lost when Chazz Summons the [[Feather of Ma'at]] - "[[Light and Darkness Dragon (manga)|Light and Darkness Dragon]]". Knowing that he is weak to it, Tragoedia left Axel to be defeated before the attack hits. Axel had no memory of what had just happened, only that he felt another presence in his body. When queried by Chazz, he cannot remember where he obtained "Mars" from in the first place.<ref name="chp59">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|59|ref}}</ref> Tragoedia took "Mars" back from Axel and rendered him unconscious when his usefulness was at an end.<ref name="chp60">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|60|ref}}</ref> Years later, Axel attended a [[Pro League]] event, where [[Jaden Yuki (manga)|Jaden Yuki]] Dueled [[Koyo Hibiki]].<ref name="chp64">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|64|ref}}</ref>
