It was followed by ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' on April 6, 2014.<br />
<br />
The anime first aired on April 11, 2011 in popular evening slots in Japan on [[TV Tokyo]].<ref name="ann new series">[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-12-13/yu-gi-oh-zexal-anime-manga-revealed animenewsnetwork.com] News: Yu-Gi-Oh!

It also starts the use of the Series 7 card layout replacing the Series 3 layout used in later episodes of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'']], and the majority of episodes of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''.<br />
<br />
Starting with the show's fourth arc, the show was advertised under the name '''Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL II''' (pronounced '''''zay-al [IPA: zeɪal] sekando''''' in Japanese, pronounced '''''zek-sul second''''' in English), but both NAS and TV Tokyo classify it as the same show, with the episode numbers continuing from where it was left off instead of returning to the start.<ref name="nas">{{citeweb|url=http://www.nasinc.co.jp/jp/index.php?action=USER.WORKS.TIME.LIST&master_id=112&mm_category NAS|publisher=Nihon Ad Systems|title=Works Time List}}</ref><ref name="tvtokyo>{{citeweb|url=http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/yugioh-zexal/episodes/episodes7/index.html|title=''Yu-Gi-Oh!

<br />
The first season of the English dubbed version premiered on October 15, 2011 on the CW4KIDS Toonzai. The second season was brought to CW4KIDS's second Cartoon Block, Vortexx. Official English subtitled episodes can be found on Hulu, though only available within the United States thus far.<br />

===''Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL''===<br />
[[File:Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Japanese Logo.png|thumb|left|Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL ({{Ruby|遊|ゆう}}☆{{Ruby|戯|ぎ}}☆{{Ruby|王|おう}} {{Ruby|ZEXAL|ゼアル}}) logo]]<br />
[[File:4Kids English Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL intro screen.png|thumb|250px|Dubbed version title screen]]<br />
In a city in the near future, [[Heartland City]], kids and adults enjoy [[Augmented Reality Duel]]s. Augmented Reality Duels are Duels that use [[Duel Gazer]]s and [[D-Pad]]s, which when the two are used together, whether on the ground or in the sky, cause monsters to erupt from buildings and fight each other. The hero is [[Yuma Tsukumo]]. At a beginner level, he's a champion at absolutely losing. Due to a chain of events, Yuma ends up challenging the number one delinquent at his school, [[Reginald Kastle|Reginald]]. His destiny is changed by a bizarre [[The Door|door]] he's seen in his dreams. When Yuma unlocks this sealed door, countless lights fly from it and escape. And when Yuma comes to, he sees the mysterious entity, [[Astral]], who came from a parallel universe, standing before him.<br />
<br />
In order to regain Astral's lost memories, the flying lights from the door that have turned into the 99 "[[Number]]s" cards, these two must work together. A series of mysterious and powerful rivals begin to appear before Yuma and Astral including a young boy named [[Kite Tenjo]], revenge-seeking [[Vetrix]] and the maniacal [[Dr. Faker]].<br />

<br />
When the memories of Shark's past life, [[Nash]], are awakened, he decides to lead the Barians against Astral World.

{{Main|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL (manga)}}<br />
<br />
The ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL'' manga is written by Shin Yoshida, illustrated by Naohito Miyoshi and published by [[Shueisha]]. Unlike ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL'' manga was released before the anime and follows the same story as the anime up until [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Rank 009|Rank 009]].<br />
<br />
The series is set in the near future. Something unexpected happens as [[Ryoga Kamishiro (manga)|Ryoga Kamishiro]] challenges [[Yuma Tsukumo (manga)|Yuma Tsukumo]] to a Duel. When the mysterious entity [[Astral (manga)|Astral]] appears before them a new legend begins.<ref name="vj scan">[http://img208.poco.cn/mypoco/myphoto/20101213/14/5587492820101213144931047.jpg V Jump scan].</ref><br />
<br />
== Spin-off ==<br />
{{Main|Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL}}<br />
<br />
''Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL'' is a spin-off of the series made by Akihiro Tomonaga with the cooperation of Wedge Holdings. This spin-off is non-canon to the anime and manga series, and focuses on humor.<br />
<br />
Just like in the anime and manga, the series is set in the near future. However, it has no relation to them. Here, [[Yuma Tsukumo (D Team)|Yuma]] already knows [[Astral (D Team)|Astral]] since the beginning, and forms a [[Dueling Team]] with [[Kotori Mizuki (D Team)|Kotori]], [[Tetsuo Takeda (D Team)|Tetsuo]] and [[Takashi Todoroki (D Team)|Takashi]].<br />

==Development==<br />
An encore screening of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time]]'' on February 20, 2011 in Japan contained details on the production of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL''. The second 2011 issue of ''[[Weekly Shonen Jump]]'' included details of the screening a competition on how one hundred and ten readers can win passes to see it.<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-12-09/new-yu-gi-oh-series-to-be-announced-in-february animenewsnetwork.com] New ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' Series to Be Announced in February</ref><br />
<br />
4Kids confirmed that an English-language dub would premiere on October 15th, 2011 at 9:30 AM.<br />
<br />
==Differences in adaptations==<br />
===Season distribution===<br />
In the dub, Zexal is separated by having two arcs in three seasons rather than three arcs in two seasons. Season 1 is Episodes 001-049 rather than Episodes 001-073. Season 2 in the dub is made up of the rest of Season 1 combined with the first 25 episodes of The Japanese version of Season 2; the rest of Season 2 would make up Season 3 in the dub.<br />
<br />
===General edits===<br />
* Some names are Americanized.<br />
* The names on the [[Duelist]]'s picture are removed.<br />
* The Win Sound Effect is changed in the English Dub.<br />
* Skirts and socks on female characters are lengthened to avoid any sexual implications.<br />
* [[Astral]]'s lower body is blurred out to avoid references to nudity.<br />
* The backs of the cards have been edited to become the standard backing seen in the other series, with an exception in the first 8 episodes, when they re-aired, the backings are changed. In [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Episode 026|episode 26]] and onward, the backing of the cards changed to how they appear in the World Duel Carnival arc, just like the Japanese version.<br />
* The scenes depicting [[Number]]s users aging from "[[Photon Hand]]" is cut. Although this isn't the case when Kite takes Reginald Kastle's soul.<br />
* When an Overlay Unit is used, the sound effect has been replaced with a new one.<br />
* The Life Point sound effect is replaced with a different one than the original.<br />
* There are 3 seasons in the dub.<br />
* References to death or killing of characters are toned down or removed.<br />

=== Overview ===<br />
[[File:RushDuelField.png|right|400px|A ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel'' field]]<br />
Being a derivative of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]'', ''Rush Duel'' shares similarities with it, with some notable alterations and additions. Differences that ''Rush Duel'' was advertised as having include:<br />
* Players can [[Normal Summon]]/[[Set]] as many monsters as they want in a single turn. [[Level 5 Monster Cards|Level 5]] and higher monsters still follow the same [[Tribute Summon]] requirements as the ''TCG/OCG''.<br />
* Players start the Duel with four cards in their hand. During their [[Draw Phase]], the turn player draws cards until they have five cards in their hand. If the player has five or more cards in their hand, they draw one card.<br />
** Players have no [[hand size limit]].<br />
** The player who goes first draws one card on the first turn.<br />
** If a player would draw, but lacks enough cards (e.g. the player has four or less cards in their Deck, and no cards in their hand during the Draw Phase), that player loses the Duel.<br />
* ''Rush Duel'' has a Monster Card type currently exclusive to it: [[Maximum Monster]]s, which are composed of three specific monsters that can be [[Maximum Summon]]ed as a single monster.<br />
<br />
Other rule differences include:<br />
* The field resembles that of [[Speed Duel]]s. Each player has 3 [[Monster Zone]]s, 3 [[Spell & Trap Zone]]s, and a [[Field Zone]] on their field. There is an [[Extra Deck Zone]], but no [[Pendulum Zone]]s or [[Extra Monster Zone]]s.<br />
* [[Spell Card]]s include [[Normal Spell Card]]s, [[Field Spell Card]]s, and [[Equip Spell Card]]s. The only [[Trap Card]]s are [[Normal Trap Card]]s.<br />
* [[Fusion Monster]]s appear; however their Japanese name is written with the English word "Fusion" (「フュージョン」 ''Fyūjon'') instead of the Japanese ''Yūgō'' (「{{Ruby|融|ゆう}}{{Ruby|合|ごう}}」). Additionally, the primary method of Fusion Summoning is through the Spell Card "[[Fusion (Rush Duel)|Fusion]]" instead of the usual "[[Polymerization]]", with "[[Polymerization (Rush Duel)|Polymerization]]" serving as a [[Legend Card]].<br />
** Some Fusion Monsters have new [[Type]]s not present in the ''TCG/OCG'', presented as "fusions" of the Types of their [[Fusion Material]]s. These Fusion Monsters can have [[Multi-Choice Effect]]s, allowing the player to choose between one of two bulleted effects (●) that have the same activation requirement.<br />
* [[Flip Summon]] does not exist, with imported ''OCG'' cards that mention them (such as "[[Trap Hole (Rush Duel)|Trap Hole]]") having the term retroactively removed from their card texts.<br />
* Monster effects on the field can be activated only once per turn while face-up on the field,<ref name="rushrules"/> similar to a card in the ''TCG/OCG'' stating "[[Once per turn]]". This also applies to [[Multi-Choice Effect]]s.<br />
** Summoning conditions, as well as alternate name conditions can still apply while in hand and Graveyard respectively. <br />
* Card effects list [[activation condition]]s and [[cost]]s on a separate line (indicated by "[REQUIREMENT]") from the rest of the effect for easier understanding.<br />
* A card's [REQUIREMENT] and [EFFECT] are treated as being resolved simultaneously. If either the [REQUIREMENT] or [EFFECT] of the last used card meets the activation requirement of a Trap Card, that Trap can be activated without [[missing the timing]].<br />
** Summoning conditions as well as Fusion Materials are listed above [REQUIREMENT] and [EFFECT].<br />
** There are three types of monster effects; basic Effects, [[Continuous Effect]]s, and [[Multi-Choice Effect]]s; the type of monster effect is indicated by the card text. The basic Effects and Multi-Choice Effects function like [[Ignition Effect]]s in the ''TCG/OCG''.<br />
* [[Chain]]s do not occur. If two or more [[Trap Card]]s meet activation requirements, only one can be activated. The non-[[turn player]] chooses first whether or not to activate a Trap Card. If they do not, the turn player can then choose whether or not to activate a Trap Card.<br />
* Phases progress in the following order: [[Draw Phase]], [[Main Phase]], [[Battle Phase]], [[End Phase]]. (There is no [[Standby Phase]] or [[Main Phase 2]].)<ref name="rushrules">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/duelingaroundatthespeedofsound/ | title = <nowiki>[Rush Duel] Game Play Information and Yuga's Ace!</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | publisher = YGOrganization | date = February 16, 2020 | accessdate = February 16, 2020}}</ref><br />
* [[Tribute|Tributing]] is exclusive to [[Tribute Summon]], with imported ''OCG'' cards that mention them (such as "[[Cannon Soldier (Rush Duel)|Cannon Soldier]]") having the term retroactively replaced with Sending from the field to the Graveyard in their card texts.<br />
* [[Discard|Discarding]] does not exist, with imported ''OCG'' cards that mention them (such as "[[Tribute to The Doomed (Rush Duel)|Tribute to The Doomed]]") having the term retroactively replaced with send from the hand to the Graveyard in their card texts.<br />
* [[Quick-Play Spell Card]]s do not exist, all Quick-Play Spell Cards from the [[OCG]] (such as "[[Silver's Cry (Rush Duel)|Silver's Cry]]") are imported as [[Normal Spell Card]]s. <br />
*[[?]] and ATK/DEF with 50 do not exist, as such, cards imported from the OCG that have ? (such as "[[Maju Garzett (Rush Duel)|Maju Garzett]] having its ATK 0 instead, while cards with ATK/DEF with 50 instead receiving retrains with more 50 ATK/DEF or different values. <br />
*Halving does not exist, the first imported card from the OCG to mention this "[[Time Wizard (Rush Duel)|Time Wizard]]" has its effect damage using the ATK of all destroyed monsters instead of halved when the coin called wrong. However, doubling still exists. <br />
* Some cards are specifically marked as [[Legend Card]]s. A Deck can contain a maximum of 1 Legend Card of each card type ([[Monster Card|Monster]], [[Spell Card|Spell]], and [[Trap Card|Trap]]).<ref name="legend">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/thatfeelwhennoblueeyesultimategirlfriend/ | title = <nowiki>[Rush Duels] Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Legend Cards</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | publisher = YGOrganization | date = March 6, 2020 | accessdate = March 6, 2020}}</ref><ref name="YGOrg 10-31-22">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/rush-duel-change-to-how-legends-work/ | title = <nowiki>[RUSH DUEL] Change To How Legends Work</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | website = The Organization | date = October 31, 2022 | accessdate = October 31, 2022}}</ref> A player's [[Side Deck]] can contain any number of Legend Cards.<ref name="galaxycup">{{cite web | url = https://www.konami.com/yugioh/rushduel/event/galaxy-cup/ | title = <nowiki>Yu-Gi-Oh!

<br />
Similarities to the ''OCG'' include:<br />
* Players can include 40-60 cards in the [[Main Deck]], 0-15 in the [[Extra Deck]], and 0-15 in the [[Side Deck]]. They can use up to 3 copies of each card, with the exception of Legend Cards and cards on the Forbidden/Limited List.<br />
* Players start with 8000 [[LP]].<br />
<br />
=== Card layout ===<br />
{{Show card image|Sevens Road Magician|"[[Sevens Road Magician]]", a ''Rush Duel'' Monster Card}}<br />
{{Main|Card layout#Rush Duel}}<br />
''Rush Duel'' cards use a new layout intended to be simple to understand and visually appealing. Differences between ''Rush Duel'' card layout to the ''OCG''/''TCG'' include:<br />
* Art frames and effect text boxes are significantly larger.<br />
* The [[Level]] value is altered to display a number over the Level star graphic.<br />
* The Level value, alongside the [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] values, are moved above the [[Type]] line, slightly covering the bottom part of the card artwork.<br />
** On the middle part of a [[Maximum Monster]], the [[MAXIMUM ATK]] value is printed above its ATK and DEF values.<br />
* On [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s, the [[card type]] line is moved below the card artwork, where the Type line is located on a [[Monster Card]].<br />
* The cards have the phrase "''RUSH DUEL''" printed at their base.<br />

<br />
== Legal cards ==<br />
Similar to the ''TCG's'' [[Speed Duel]] format, only cards produced for ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel'' products are legal in ''Rush Duels''.<ref name="legalrushduelcards">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/iwonderwhosinchargeofjapancurrently/ | title = <nowiki>[Rush Duels] More Information on First Products</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | publisher = YGOrganization | date = February 6, 2020 | accessdate = February 6, 2020}}</ref> Unlike Speed Duel cards, which can be used in the standard ''TCG'', ''Rush Duel'' cards are not legal for use in the standard ''OCG''.<br />
<br />
=== Sets ===<br />
As Rush Duels are treated as a different card game, ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel'' products run in a separate product line to ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game'' products. The first sets released for ''Rush Duel'' were ''[[Starter Deck Yuga - Cut Through! Sevens Road!!]]'' and ''[[Starter Deck Luke - Explosive Supremacy! Dragias!!]]'', which could also both be purchased in [[Starter Deck Set - Yuga vs. Luke|one set]].<br />
<br />
The following sets contain cards that can be used in Rush Duels:<br />

<br />
== In the anime ==<br />
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'', Rush Duels were created by main protagonist [[Yuga Ohdo]] as an alternative format that anyone can enjoy, in contrast to the "rigid" [[Goha Dueling Rules|Duels run by adults]].<ref name="summary">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/gottayeetoretueeeee/ | title = The Next Yu-Gi-Oh! Anime | author=Satchmo | publisher = YGOrganization | date = December 21, 2019 | accessdate = December 22, 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'', Rush Duel is a card game created by the [[Goha Company]] and originating from [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], whose existence spread into the depths of space and became a legend among the people of the [[Velgear Star Cluster]]. Main protagonist [[Yudias Velgear]] believes that this "Rush Duel" would be the way for his war-torn people to finally achieve peace. It is eventually revealed that the game was recreated by Yuga, having travelled in time after his Duel with [[Otes]], while [[The Creator (GO RUSH!! character)|The Creator]], Otes' [[Earthdamar]], was sent back even further and spread legends of Rush Dueling among the [[Velgearian]]s.<ref name="gr39">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|39|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
== In the manga ==<br />
The one-shot manga ''[[Let's Do It! Rush Duel!!]]'' features a Rush Duel between [[Yuga Ohdo (manga)|Yuga Ohdo]] and [[Tatsuhisa Kamijo (manga)|Tatsuhisa Kamijo]].<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS Luke! Explosive Supremacy Legend!!]]'' features [[Tatsuhisa Kamijo (manga)|Tatsuhisa Kamijo]] (also known as Luke) as its protagonist, in contrast to the anime. In the manga, Luke Duels various opponents with Rush Duel, aiming to become the King of Duels.<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel LP]]'' features various Rush Duels. In a similar vein to ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures]]'', the manga series focused on presenting the game strictly as it was played in real life, often using newly released or upcoming cards.<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' uses the Rush Duel format. [[Yudias Velgear (manga)|Yudias Velgear]] believes that the non-violent nature of the Rush Duel card game would be the way for people to finally be able to end conflicts without bloodshed.<br />

In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'', Rush Duels were created by main protagonist [[Yuga Ohdo]] as an alternative format that anyone can enjoy, in contrast to the "rigid" [[Goha Dueling Rules|Duels run by adults]].<ref name="summary">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/gottayeetoretueeeee/ | title = The Next Yu-Gi-Oh!

<br />
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'', Rush Duel is a card game created by the [[Goha Company]] and originating from [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], whose existence spread into the depths of space and became a legend among the people of the [[Velgear Star Cluster]]. Main protagonist [[Yudias Velgear]] believes that this "Rush Duel" would be the way for his war-torn people to finally achieve peace. It is eventually revealed that the game was recreated by Yuga, having travelled in time after his Duel with [[Otes]], while [[The Creator (GO RUSH!! character)|The Creator]], Otes' [[Earthdamar]], was sent back even further and spread legends of Rush Dueling among the [[Velgearian]]s.<ref name="gr39">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

== In the manga ==<br />
The one-shot manga ''[[Let's Do It! Rush Duel!!]]'' features a Rush Duel between [[Yuga Ohdo (manga)|Yuga Ohdo]] and [[Tatsuhisa Kamijo (manga)|Tatsuhisa Kamijo]].<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS Luke! Explosive Supremacy Legend!!]]'' features [[Tatsuhisa Kamijo (manga)|Tatsuhisa Kamijo]] (also known as Luke) as its protagonist, in contrast to the anime. In the manga, Luke Duels various opponents with Rush Duel, aiming to become the King of Duels.<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel LP]]'' features various Rush Duels. In a similar vein to ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures]]'', the manga series focused on presenting the game strictly as it was played in real life, often using newly released or upcoming cards.<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' uses the Rush Duel format. [[Yudias Velgear (manga)|Yudias Velgear]] believes that the non-violent nature of the Rush Duel card game would be the way for people to finally be able to end conflicts without bloodshed.<br />

'''Yami Marik''', known as '''Dark Marik''' in the Japanese version, is a character in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' anime and the main antagonist of the [[Battle City Finals]] arc, after [[Odion Ishtar|Odion]] falls into a coma, triggering his possession of Marik's body. He is [[Marik Ishtar]]'s alternate personality created by his own inner hatred and pain. Unlike [[Yami Yugi]] and [[Yami Bakura]], Yami Marik did not originate as an entity sealed within a [[Millennium Items|Millennium Item]], but instead was spawned from the pain Marik endured from having his back carved as part of his family's rite of passage.<br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
===Appearance===<br />
[[File:Dark Marik Linework.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Yami Marik's design incorporates multiple layers of clothing and a wide range of expressions. Depicted here is the Duelist in full regalia from front, side and rear views and alongside views of his head from different angles.]]<br />
When Yami Marik first awakens, he wears the clothes [[Marik Ishtar|Marik]] had been wearing at the time: a light purple sleeveless hoodie, black pants and black shoes. Unlike Marik, Yami Marik's usual outfit is unchanged from the manga, making the whereabouts of his new clothes a trivial mystery. It consists of a long purple cape with a gold chain, and a black sleeveless tank top and beige pants. Like Marik he wears golden earrings, neckwear, armbands and bracelets. His hair is spiked upwards and points in all directions, though he retains the same wing-like fringes of Marik's hair, and since he picked up the [[Millennium Rod]], which he keeps in his belt while not carrying it, he bears the [[Eye of Wdjat]] on his forehead. After he defeats [[Yami Bakura]], he takes the [[Millennium Ring]], wearing it around his neck for the remainder of the tournament, but concealing it beneath his tank top until he reveals it to Yami Yugi during their Duel.<br />
<br />
Whilst Dueling, faint, ghastly images of his face frequently stretch out from his head. As the series progressed, visible veins slowly start to appear on his face. In the [[Battle City]] arc he wears a [[Duel Disk|KaibaCorp Duel Disk]] on his left arm. As he is merely a split personality of the normal Marik, unlike Yami Yugi and Yami Bakura, who are both entirely different entities from their associated hosts in their own right, Yami Marik's facial structure is exactly the same as Marik's, though the similarities are offset by the differences outlined above.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
<div style="float:right">[[File:Yami Marik lineart.jpg|thumb|Yami Marik linework]]</div><br />
Yami Marik is a person of pure cruelty and insanity who cares for no one but himself, as he was born of hate, anger, and envy. Yami Marik ruthlessly murdered [[Mr. Ishtar|his father]], and was constantly trying to kill [[Odion Ishtar|Odion]] just for being a hindrance to his existence in the outside, and threatened [[Ishizu Ishtar|Ishizu]] with death for hiding their brother. <br />
<br />
Yami Marik showed no interest in [[Yami Yugi]]'s or [[Seto Kaiba]]'s pasts, something which [[Marik Ishtar|his alter ego]] wanted to know. In addition, while Marik's goal of becoming the new Pharaoh was fueled by a personal affliction towards the Pharaoh particularly, Yami Marik didn't seem to have any goal except for spreading pain and suffering, and also existing outside, both to no longer be sealed inside his alter ego and because he considers himself the "true" Marik. In the dub however, he shares Marik's goals in addition to his sadistic desire to spread pain. Before his death, he tried to reason with Marik, claiming he always considered him his friend and that his acts were for the latter's sake so they could rule the world together; however, given his personality, he was merely trying to persuade Marik to free him from his predicament. <br />
<br />
Yami Marik lacks empathy and is highly sadistic; building his Deck around torture-themed cards, and using his shadow powers to manifest them into reality, painfully hurting his opponents for his own pleasures. However, he was overconfident in his dark powers and particularly their role in winning his Duels, since he would have lost his Duel against [[Mai Valentine]] right away if it wasn't for her attempting to Summon "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (anime)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]", only to be given [[The Winged Dragon of Ra (Sphere Mode)|Ra's Sphere Form]], and in his Duel against [[Joey Wheeler]], he wouldn't have won if Joey hadn't collapsed from exhaustion because of the torturing of "Ra" when Marik used its Egyptian God Phoenix effect. During his last Duel he even stated that he got the most pleasure from torturing Yami Yugi. <br />
<br />
In [[Noah Kaiba]]'s [[Noah's Virtual World|Virtual World]] fortress, Yami Marik demonstrated a high degree of recklessness, as he destroyed the fortress' computer, which was the only way of stopping the missile that was programmed to fire at the building; his only care being the death that it would cause, and he was subsequently seen enjoying the frantic escape on the airship. <br />
<br />
Despite his cruelty and evil, he valued his own life dearly; he tried to murder Odion so he would not be sealed back in Marik's body, and pleaded for Marik to help him win against Yugi after Marik was able to regain control of his body. Still, he shows traits of a masochist as well, especially in the Japanese version of his Duel against Joey. For example, after his "[[Gil Garth (anime)|Gil Garth]]" was destroyed and its pain was transferred to him, he laughed psychotically and stated that he was enjoying the feeling. Though certainly reliant to a degree on his Shadow powers during a Duel, Yami Marik was by no means an incompetent Duelist; planning ahead in case Yami Yugi survived the attack of "Ra" by using his [[Egyptian God Slime (anime)|Egyptian God Slime]] to complete his strategy of immortality and do a follow-up with "[[Jam Defender (anime)|Jam Defender]]" to make it the only monster Yugi could attack (thanks to its ability to regenerate); he also knew more about the abilities of "Ra" than Marik and he outwitted his alter ego and Yami Bakura by changing most of the cards in his Deck. <br />
<br />
Yami Marik is shown have difficulty with advanced technology (his Duel Disk notwithstanding) during the [[Virtual World (arc)|Virtual World]] arc as he was having trouble with a security pass-code when he pressed it, only to be denied.<br />
<br />
Yami Marik considers himself the "true" Marik, though he largely does not consider himself part of the Ishtar family, referring to Ishizu and his father as Marik's relatives rather than his, barring his first emergence where he killed Ishtar. He also explains the pain of Marik's past as if it were his own, though he did not actually experience the events himself; he merely birthed from them, and in the Japanese version, he laughs after recounting it, explaining that it is the trauma that dominates Marik.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
Yami Marik can only emerge from Marik when the latter is filled with rage, though during the time of his second emergence, he managed to acquire enough power to bypass this restriction. As a Tomb Keeper, Yami Marik is capable of using the [[Millennium Items]] and the [[Egyptian God]] Cards. <br />
<br />
Yami Marik wields the [[Millennium Rod]], though he makes minimal use of its mind control abilities and instead most commonly wields it to create his [[Shadow Game]]s. He also uses it to telekinetically pin [[Yami Bakura]] to a wall and destroy [[Noah Kaiba]]'s machines. As a result of winning a Shadow Game and inflicting a [[Penalty Game]] on his opponent, his power increases.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Yu-Gi-Oh!===<br />
==== Birth ====<br />
Yami Marik was "born" from the pain and suffering that Marik had endured when he was forced to take the initiation ritual to become a full [[Tomb Keeper]] at ten years old by [[Mr. Ishtar|his father]]. A year later, after Marik's forbidden trip to surface, Marik returned from his trip, having realized that his departure had been discovered, and was horrified to see his father torturing Odion to a presumed death (in the dub, Odion was going to be exiled, but was still almost unconscious on the floor). Odion's state enraged Marik, allowing Yami Marik to take control. Though he thanked his father for dealing with Odion, Yami Marik proceeded to resist his father's punishment on himself and claim the [[Millennium Rod]] for himself. Ignoring his father's orders to put the Item down, Yami Marik used its powers to smash him against the wall. When his sister [[Ishizu Ishtar|Ishizu]] protested for him to stop, he blasted her back and froze her in place. Yami Marik then proceeded to murder his father (in the dub, he sent his father to the [[Shadow Realm]]). He prepared to kill Odion next, but Odion was able to rouse himself, his presence calming Marik down and sealing Yami Marik away in Marik's body.<br />
<br />
====Battle City====<br />
[[File:Yami Marik.jpg|thumb|left|Yami Marik during his Shadow Game Duel against Mai Valentine]]<br />
Yami Marik was released during the [[Battle City Quarterfinals|Battle City quarter-finals]] when Odion was rendered unconscious during his Duel against [[Joey Wheeler]]. Deciding Marik's Deck was weak, he changed it to add many new cards of his own, and also managed to learn of the hidden powers of "Ra". Unwilling to risk letting Odion wake up, he attempted to murder him, but changed his mind after he heard that he was Dueling next, deciding to let Odion live a little longer. In Marik's quarter-final match, Yami Marik Duels [[Mai Valentine]] in a [[Shadow Game]]. After initially trading blows, Yami Marik changed the Duel into a Shadow Game where when they lost Life Points, they lost memories, though this had no real effect on Yami Marik, who didn't care about the memories he'd lost but had a severe effect on Mai. Mai traded blows with Yami Marik fairly equally, even taking "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (anime)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]". When she proceeded to Summon "Ra", however, it was locked in Sphere Mode, and Mai was unable to release the God monster. Yami Marik proceeded to do so on his turn, remove Mai's last defenses, and attack her with "Ra", though the attack did not kill her due to the intervention of [[Yami Yugi]] and Joey. After winning, Yami Marik trapped Mai's soul, where she is slowly buried in sand in an hourglass inside her mind. This left Mai with little more than a day to live before the torture killed her. (in the dub, he banished her soul to the Shadow Realm). After this, Joey became determined to Duel Yami Marik and save Mai no matter how high the cost.<br />
<br />
He watched the Duel between [[Ishizu]] and [[Kaiba]], and the sight of his sister caused Marik to attempt to regain control of their body. Yami Marik promptly sealed his alter ego's personality deeper within their body. Remembering Ishizu's strategy from her and Marik's Dueling practices, he believed that Ishizu had the Duel won easily, even though Kaiba had "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (anime)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" out (which Yami Marik saw for the first time). As he began to leave, the Millennium Rod activated, and showed Kaiba a vision of [[Priest Seto]]'s past, which convinced Kaiba to instead Summon "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" to win the Duel. <br />
<br />
After the quarter-finals, Yami Marik attempted to kill Odion again, but he was opposed by [[Yami Bakura]], who teamed up with the real Marik's soul. With their Millennium powers equal, the duo Dueled in a match not part of the tournament. Yami Bakura managed to gain possession of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" via "[[Exchange (anime)|Exchange]]", but Marik used "[[Joyful Doom]]" to lower the [[ATK]] of the monsters [[Tribute]]d to Summon it to 0 and add their power to his [[Life Points]], thereby weakening the Dragon's ATK to 0. Yami Bakura Tributes "Ra" to Summon "[[The Dark Ruler (anime)|The Dark Ruler]]" and also Summoned "[[Dark Necrofear (anime)|Dark Necrofear]]" and "[[Headless Knight (anime)|Headless Knight]]" but Marik used "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" to bring "Ra" back and introduced its [[Point-to-Point Transfer]] ability, sacrificing all but 1 of his Life Points to raise the the ATK of "Ra" to 8549, then [[attack]]ed to win the Duel. Marik gleefully warned Bakura to be ready to disappear into the darkness, but Bakura claimed to be the darkness itself and vowed revenge before disappearing. Yami Marik claimed the [[Millennium Ring]] as his trophy from defeating Yami Bakura after his disappearance into the darkness, deciding to enjoy taming the darkness, wearing the Ring around his neck for the remainder of the tournament, now possessing two Millennium Items. He returned to try and kill Odion again, but Ishizu had been warned by Marik and moved Odion.<br />
<br />
====Virtual World====<br />
[[File:Marikvirtualworld.png|thumb|right|Yami Marik during the [[Virtual World (arc)|Virtual World]] arc]]<br />
In the [[Virtual World (arc)|Virtual World]] arc, Yami Marik decided to wait on the airship and see how the situation unfolded for most of the arc. He eventually got tired of waiting and took matters into his own hands, deciding that no-one would hurt Yugi before he did. He investigated [[Noah Kaiba]]'s base to find Yugi and his friends, but got frustrated with the high-tech contraptions that blocked his way.<br />
<br />
Eventually, the alarm set off and the fortress guard robots came after him, but he easily dealt with them using his Millennium Rod. He forced his way through the base and destroyed the main power generator, which in turn, released Kaiba's blimp. Then, he found the console that controlled the satellite, which Noah programmed to fire a missile to destroy the base. Marik recklessly destroyed it, so there was no way to stop the missile. Luckily, he and the others managed to escape in time.<br />
<br />
====Battle City finals====<br />
The airship soon arrived at KaibaCorp Island, where the Duel Tower that the finals and semi-finals would be held in was located. The match-ups for the semi-final would be decided by a four-way [[Battle Royale]] Duel. Yami Marik didn't really care who he'd face, but eventually decided to match himself up against Yugi. However, despite his disruptive tactics, both Kaiba and Joey were intending to make sure that Yami Marik Dueled Joey, and Yami Marik was the first to be eliminated, followed swiftly by Joey. As they ascended to the top of the tower, Yami Marik warned Joey to prepare himself for his fate.<br />
<br />
Yami Marik transformed his Duel with Joey into a [[Shadow Game]], connecting the Duelists to their monsters so that they'd feel the pain their monsters did. He controlled the Duel with the effect of his "[[Helpoemer (anime)|Helpoemer]]" in the [[Graveyard]], which stole cards from Joey's hand as Yami Marik's "[[Coffin Seller (anime)|Coffin Seller]]" [[Trap Card]] drained his [[Life Points]]. Joey turned this against him by using "[[Question (anime)|Question]]" to Summon his "[[Jinzo (anime)|Jinzo]]", crippling Yami Marik's strategy after it destroyed his Traps. Yami Marik Summoned "[[Lava Golem (anime)|Lava Golem]]" to Joey's field to eliminate "Jinzo" and he drained Joey of strength via the effects of his duplicated "[[Plasma Eel]]s". Joey managed to gain the upper hand with "[[Gilford the Lightning (anime)|Gilford the Lightning]]" until Marik Summoned "Ra", revealing its third power of [[Egyptian God Phoenix]] to destroy "Gilford". However, Joey was still standing after its blast and Summoned "[[Gearfried the Iron Knight (anime)|Gearfried the Iron Knight]]", a monster with enough power to win him the Duel. He attempted to attack Marik [[Direct attack|directly]] but collapsed from the Shadow Game and was unable to continue to claim victory. Yami Marik was horrified that he'd almost lost the Duel and gagged into his hands, though he recovered enough to gloat. As he left to recover, Kaiba stopped him and claimed that Yami Marik had revealed all of the secrets of "Ra", and that he held the card capable of defeating it. Yami Marik sarcastically wished him luck.<br />
<br />
After he recovered, he returned to the Duel Tower gone to watch Yami Yugi's Duel with Kaiba. He noted what had happened, though he planned to kill both of them whatever the outcome. He was intrigued when both Duelists Summoned their [[Egyptian God]] cards, and shocked when the [[Millennium Rod]] activated again after the Gods destroyed one another, showing Kaiba and Yami Yugi the memories of [[Priest Seto]]. He smiled fiendishly after Yami Yugi won, ensuring that he would get the chance to kill him in a Shadow Game.<br />
<br />
After the Duel, Yami Marik furiously demanded that the Rod show him what it had shown Kaiba and Yugi, and when it didn't respond, he tossed it away in frustration. Unfortunately for him, [[Téa Gardner]], controlled by a fragment of Marik, claimed the Rod and blasted Yami Marik down, much to his confusion. As Marik held his dark half at Rod-point, Yami Marik realized that Marik had been able to control Téa due to his earlier possession of her, and he snidely pointed out that it was thanks to [[Odion]] that he'd re-emerged, distracting Marik long enough to disarm him. He began to subdue Marik, but was stopped by the arrival of [[Ishizu]], and then Yami Yugi. Yami Marik decided to wait until it was time for his Duel to finish things and departed, laughing, but returning to the top of the Tower before Yugi did. As they prepared to Duel, Kaiba gave Yugi a card, which Yugi shuffled into his Deck. As they shuffled each other's Decks, Yami Marik taunted Yami Yugi, suggesting that he shuffle well so that "Ra" would end up at the bottom of his Deck.<br />

Yami Marik turned his Duel with Yami Yugi in the finals into a Shadow Game that gave him a clear edge; when Yami Yugi lost Life Points, [[Yugi Muto]]'s body would fade away, and when Yami Marik lost Life Points, the original Marik would fade away. While Yami Marik would survive if Marik didn't, if Yami Yugi lost, both he and Yugi would be destroyed. Discarding "Ra" on his first turn, Yami Marik helped Yugi get "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (anime)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" out so he could destroy it himself with "Ra", which he succeeded in doing with Egyptian God Phoenix. He reclaimed his "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" with "[[Zombie's Jewel]]", giving Yami Yugi a last chance to draw. Yami Yugi didn't even look at the card before he Set it, but Yami Marik wasn't interested. He brought out "Ra" again, this time using its [[Point-to-Point Transfer]] effect to raise its ATK and prepared to attack. He also revealed that he had taken the [[Millennium Ring]] from [[Yami Bakura]], revealing that he was behind Bakura's disappearance to the group at large. When Yami Marik attacked, Yami Yugi revealed the card Kaiba had given him - "[[Fiend's Sanctuary (anime)|Fiend's Sanctuary]]", which forced Yami Marik to attack himself. Yami Marik was forced to use the "[[De-Fusion (anime)|De-Fusion]]" that Yami Yugi had given him through "[[Exchange (anime)|Exchange]]", separating himself from "Ra" and boosting his Life Points.<br />
<br />
[[File:Marik surrenders.png|thumb|right|Yami Marik's death]]<br />
Yugi then Summoned "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (anime)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" and attacked Yami Marik directly, badly injuring him, but this gave Yami Marik the opportunity to create a clone of it called "[[Egyptian God Slime (anime)|Egyptian God Slime]]." He used the Slime to stall until he could revive "Ra" to destroy "Obelisk", but Yami Yugi prevented this by using "Slifer" as a shield. Yami Marik simply re-revived "Ra" and began to boost its ATK, only for Yami Yugi to sacrifice the "Egyptian God Slime" to activate the effect of "Obelisk", boosting it to infinite ATK. Yami Marik blocked the attack with "[[Class System]]", and prepared to finish Yami Yugi off, attacking "Obelisk." Yami Yugi responded with "[[Ragnarok]]", that would destroy "Ra." Yami Marik warned Yugi that the move would likely destroy Marik as well, but as Yami Yugi hesitated, Odion, who had reawoken, arrived at the top of the Tower. As Yami Marik taunted Odion and blasted him with the Millennium Rod, Odion urged Marik to realize that he had to accept his responsibility for being a Tomb Keeper and the death of his father. With this confidence, Marik overpowered his evil self and urged Yami Yugi to attack him. Yami Yugi did so, destroying "Ra." The shock of the monster's destruction while Yami Marik was fused to it allowed Marik to retake control, putting Yami Marik in the position of the sacrifice. Yami Marik begged his other self to work with him, but his efforts were in vain. Marik forfeited, reducing his Life Points to zero and resulting in the ultimate destruction of Yami Marik.<br />

==Deck==<br />
Yami Marik runs an '''Immortality-Torture Deck''', which focuses on slowly torturing his opponents and him watching them squirm. In the theme of pain, Yami Marik's cards slowly drain his opponent's strength, such as discarding their hand with "[[Helpoemer]]", lowering ATK with "[[Dark Jeroid (anime)|Dark Jeroid]]" and "[[Plasma Eel]]", and inflicting [[Burn]] damage with "[[Coffin Seller (anime)|Coffin Seller]]" and "[[Bowganian (anime)|Bowganian]]". Some of his cards, like "[[Nightmare Wheel (anime)|Nightmare Wheel]]" and the manga-exclusive "[[Viser Shock (manga)|Viser Shock]]" and "[[Viser Des (manga)|Viser Des]]", are based on torture machines. Yami Marik's Deck otherwise relies on a variety of powerful Trap Cards and Fiend-Type monsters. <br />
<br />
With "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (anime)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" as his trump card, Yami Marik uses a variety of cards to discard it, then revive it with "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" to devastate his opponents. He further relies on retrieving "Monster Reborn" to his hand after using it initially to continue to revive "Ra" again and again, using cards such as "[[Left Arm Offering (anime)|Left Arm Offering]]" and "[[Mining for Magical Stones (anime)|Mining for Magical Stones]]". Yami Marik also uses some of the cards previously used by [[Rare Hunters]] such as "[[Revival Jam (anime)|Revival Jam]]" and in the anime "[[Masked Beast Des Gardius (anime)|Masked Beast Des Gardius]]".<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In the dub, Yami Marik's voice starts out distorted, but low-pitched; this is the same voice he had the first time he appeared in Marik's childhood. However, by the time of quarterfinals, his voice had gained a higher pitch.<br />
* Ironically despite Yami Yugi's promise he would banish Yami Marik back to the darkness, Yami Marik is the only antagonist faced by Yami Yugi to not actually be defeated by him, instead being destroyed by Marik.<br />
* In the dub, Yami Marik commonly calls [[Joey Wheeler]] "Little Joey". In the original version, Jonouchi has called him "Marik-chan", "-chan" being an honorific used for little children (and sometimes being translated in a similar to the dub name Marik calls Joey).<br />
* In the manga, [[Dark Marik (manga)|Dark Marik]] claims to have taken away [[Marik Ishtar (manga)|Marik's]] guilt while he was sealed within him. In the anime, he instead claims that Marik's heart "feels lighter" after his release.<br />

'''"A Duel with Dartz - Part 3"''', known as '''"The Captive Mirror Knights"''' in the Japanese version, is the one-hundred and seventy-ninth episode of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime]]. It first aired in Japan on November 12, 2003 and in the United States on May 14, 2005.<br />
<br />
{{episode summary|The [[Duel]] between [[Dartz]], [[Yami Yugi]] and [[Seto Kaiba]] continues. Meanwhile, [[Rafael]] keeps on climbing up the spiral stairs around the temple's base, wanting to stop the ongoing events.}}<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
It has just been revealed that [[Dartz]] has used his magical powers to transfer the souls of [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]], [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]], [[Mai Valentine|Mai]] and [[Maximillion Pegasus|Pegasus]] into his "[[Mirror Knight Token]]s". He claims that it's an act of compassion; he's allowing for Yami Yugi to meet his companions again before he and [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] are sacrificed to the [[The Great Leviathan|Orichalcos god.]]<br />
[[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] is unmoved by the revelation, while Yami Yugi is unwilling to strike back against them. However, "Mirror Knight Yugi" seems to still possess a degree of self-awareness, since he refuses to attack Yami Yugi. <br />
<br />
Kaiba Summons "[[Different Dimension Dragon (anime)|Different Dimension Dragon]]", whose [[card effect|effect]] will allow for it to not be [[destroy]]ed while fighting any of the "Mirror Knight Tokens". He decides to question Dartz about what'll happen to the "Mirror Knight Tokens" once they're gone. Dartz shrugs and claims not to know what happens to "vanished souls". Kaiba then declares an [[attack]] against "Mirror Knight Mai", but "Mirror Knight Joey" sacrifices his "Mirror Shield" to save her. Dartz is amused and Kaiba only gets even angrier. Yami Yugi is unable to strike them, so he does not attack during his [[turn]]. <br />
<br />
During his turn, Dartz uses a [[Continuous Spell Card]] to inflict a large amount of damage to Kaiba. Yami Yugi gets rid of it, but he still refuses to attack. Kaiba tries to attack "Mirror Knight Joey" again, but "Mirror Knight Yugi" comes to his rescue. <br />
<br />
Yami Yugi saves Kaiba from what would've been a lethal blow, and then "Mirror Knight Yugi" tells Yami Yugi to not hesitate: he has a more important task to accomplish. <br />
<br />
It is at this point that [[Rafael]] finally breaks into the room and pleads of Dartz to stop this: he doesn't see a point on it anymore. Dartz looks amused, while Rafael claims that Yami Yugi helped him get rid of the "dark" in his heart. Dartz laughs, claiming that is impossible, as some darkness will always remain. He begins making a speech: many so-called "sages" across the eras tried to do the same and failed. He then admits that humans are, generally, evil. He then compares those people "blessed with wealth" and "those born with suffering and poverty", "those blessed with some form of talent" and "those born with dislike and hate". He concludes that the world has an unfair "fate", which man cannot conquer.<br />
<br />
Dartz then announces that each of the Three Swordsmen were people whose fates were set by his own hands. Dartz announces that "Fate is created by the strong ones" and signals [[Alister]]'s tablet. A vision of Alister's past is shown: [[Gozaburo Kaiba]] is seen leaving. However, his body fades away to reveal Dartz himself. Gozaburo wasn't the one who sold weapons to both sides: it was Dartz. Alister's wish for revenge was set up.<br />
<br />
A new flashback is shown: [[Valon]] is shown witnessing the fire which destroyed the church. However, hidden in a side alley and having his head covered by a mantle, was Dartz. The thugs didn't start up the fire: Dartz did. (In the dub, this flashback is removed. Instead Dartz explains that he framed Valon for the first crime the latter ever committed.)<br />
<br />
Dartz makes a final revelation through a flashback. It is shown that Dartz used magic to awaken the volcano that sank the ship Rafael was on. Rafael goes into a fit of rage and engages his [[Chaos Duel Disk]]. The symbol of the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]" suddenly forms on his forehead, and [[Guardian Eatos (character)|Eatos]] shows up behind him. Dartz laughs as "The Seal" forms on Rafael's feet next and begins to grow. The power of "The Seal" makes "Eatos" turn into her "Dark" version and she begins to build up energy with her sword. <br />
The energy suddenly goes out of control and "Eatos" disappears. Rafael's "Seal" closes on him and his soul is seized. [[Téa Gardner|Téa]], [[Tristan Taylor|Tristan]] and [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]] rush to his side, but it's too late. A slate fills up with Rafael's picture.<br />

<br />
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 178|Duel continues from previous episode.]]''<br />
<br />
Yami Yugi has 3500 [[LP|Life Points]] remaining and controls "Big Shield Gardna" (100/2600) in Defense Position and one set card.<br />
<br />
Kaiba has 3000 Life Points remaining and controls "Kaiser Glider" (2400/2000) in Attack Position.<br />
<br />
Dartz has 10000 Life Points remaining and controls "Orichalcos Kyutora" (1000/500) in Defense Position and four "Mirror Knight Tokens" (0/0 for each) in Attack Position.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 12: Dartz'''</u><br /><br />
Dartz orders "[[Mirror Knight Token|Mirror Knight Yugi]]" to attack Yami Yugi, but it refuses to obey. Dartz [[Set]]s a Card.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 13: Kaiba'''</u><br /><br />
Kaiba draws "[[Pot of Greed (anime)|Pot of Greed]]" and subsequently [[activate]]s it to draw two Cards. He then activates "[[Cost Down (later anime)|Cost Down]]" to discard a Card and reduce the Levels of all monsters on his hand and field by two for this turn. Kaiba Normal Summons "[[Different Dimension Dragon (anime)|Different Dimension Dragon]]" (1400/1500) in [[Attack Position]]. This monster can't be destroyed in battle by monsters that have at most 1900 ATK. <br />
<br />
"[[Kaiser Glider (anime)|Kaiser Glider]]" attacks "[[Mirror Knight Token|Mirror Knight Mai]]". The effect of "Mirror Knight Mai" activates ("Mirror Knight Mai": 500 → 2400/0). Due to the effect of "Kaiser Glider", it is not destroyed. Dartz then destroys the Shield Counter on "Mirror Knight Mai" to prevent her destruction. At the end of the Damage Step, the effect of "Mirror Knight Mai" expires ("Mirror Knight Mai": 2400 → 500/0). <br />
<br />
"Different Dimension Dragon" attacks "Mirror Knight Mai", but "Mirror Knight Joey" intercepts the attack. The effect of "Mirror Knight Joey" then activates ("Mirror Knight Joey": 500 → 1400/0). Due to the effect of "Different Dimension Dragon", it is not destroyed. Dartz then destroys the Shield Counter on "Mirror Knight Joey" to prevent his own destruction. At the end of the Damage Step, the effect of "Mirror Knight Joey" expires ("Mirror Knight Mai": 1400 → 500/0). Kaiba Sets a Card.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 14: Yami'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Yugi draws. He then Passes his turn as he is unwilling to attack his friends.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 15: Dartz'''</u><br /><br />
Dartz draws. He then activates the first effect of "[[Orichalcos Deuteros]]" ([[Dartz]] 10000 → 12500). Dartz then activates his face-down "[[Twin Bow Centaur]]". Now once during his Main Phase 1, Dartz can select one monster under his control and one monster under the control of Kaiba or Yami Yugi and toss a coin. If he calls it right, the targeted monster under the control of Dartz's opponent will be removed from play and then the controller will take damage equal to the removed monster's ATK. If he calls it wrong, Dartz's targeted monster will be removed from play and Dartz will then take damage equal to the removed monster's ATK. If Dartz activates the effect of "Twin Bow Centaur", he won't be allowed to conduct his Battle Phase this turn.<br />
<br />
Dartz activates the effect of "Twin Bow Centaur" by selecting "Mirror Knight Joey" and Seto's "Kaiser Glider" as the targets for the effect of "Twin Bow Centaur" and tossing a coin. Dartz wins the [[Coin toss]], so "Kaiser Glider" is [[Banish|removed from play]] and Seto takes [[effect damage|damage]] equal to its [[ATK]] ([[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] 3000 → 600).<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 16: Kaiba'''</u><br /><br />
Kaiba draws. "Different Dimension Dragon" attacks "Mirror Knight Joey", but "Mirror Knight Yugi" intercepts the attack. The effect of "Mirror Knight Yugi" activates ("Mirror Knight Yugi": 500 → 1400/0). Due to the effect of "Different Dimension Dragon", it is not destroyed. Dartz then destroys the Shield Counter on "Mirror Knight Yugi" Shield Counter to prevent his own destruction. At the end of the Damage Step, the effect of "Mirror Knight Yugi" expires ("Mirror Knight Yugi": 1400 → 500/0).<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 17: Yami'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Yugi draws "[[Mystical Space Typhoon (anime)|Mystical Space Typhoon]]" and subsequently activates it to destroy Dartz's "Twin Bow Centaur".<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 18: Dartz'''</u><br /><br />
Dartz draws. He then Normal Summons "[[Orichalcos Malevolence]]" (1500 → 2000/1000) in [[Attack Position]]. Dartz then activates the first effect of "Orichalcos Deuteros" ([[Dartz]] 12500 → 15500). "Orichalcos Malevolence" attacks Seto's "Different Dimension Dragon", but Seto activates his face-down "[[Attack Guidance Barrier]]" to redirect the attack to "[[Big Shield Gardna (anime)|Big Shield Gardna]]" and increase its [[DEF]] by 600 ("Big Shield Gardna": 100/2600 → 3200). The attack fails, but the effect of "[[Orichalcos Kyutora (anime)|Orichalcos Kyutora]]" nullifies the [[battle damage]] Dartz would take. Since "Big Shield Gardna" was attacked, its second effect switches it to [[Attack Position]] at the end of the Damage Step. Due to the last effect of "Attack Guidance Barrier", Dartz's [[Battle Phase]] ends immediately. On Dartz's End Phase, the effect of "Attack Guidance Barrier" expires ("Big Shield Gardna": 100/3200 → 2600)<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 19: Kaiba'''</u><br /><br />
Kaiba draws. Kaiba then switches "Different Dimension Dragon" to [[Defense Position]] and Sets two Cards.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 20: Yami'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Yugi draws. He then switches "Big Shield Gardna" to [[Defense Position]] and Sets a Card.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 21: Dartz'''</u><br /><br />
Dartz draws "[[Orichalcos Tritos]]" and subsequently activates it.<br />
<br />
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 180|Duel continues next episode.]]''<br />
<br />
==Difference Between Adaptations==<br />
*In the dub, Rafael lost all respect for Dartz and spoke to him in a disrespectful tone. In the original, Rafael still referred to Dartz with an honorific and pleaded with him to stop.<br />
<br />
*Valon's flashback in Dartz' story was censored in the dub.<br />
<br />
*Kaiba being struck by a flaming arrow from "[[Twin Bow Centaur]]" after "[[Kaiser Glider (anime)|Kaiser Glider]]" is destroyed is also removed in the dub.<br />
*The muscles near the legs of "Twin Bow Centaur" are removed in the dub, presumably to avoid them being mistaken for a more obscene part of the body.<br />
*Rafael's eyes are painted over to be closed after his soul is taken in the dubbed version, whereas they are open and vacant in the Japanese.<br />

<br />
== Recapitulation ==<br />
* In the lobby of [[Industrial Illusions]], [[Joey]] is dueling [[Mai]] within the Seal of Orichalcos, while [[Yami Yugi]], [[Téa]], [[Tristan]], [[Valon]], [[Rafael]], [[Weevil]], and [[Rex]] watch.<br />
<br />
== The Power of "Hermos" ==<br />
* Joey has just unlocked and Drawn "[[Claw of Hermos|The Claw of Hermos]]", surprising everyone. <br />
* His Field is empty, but he plays the last three Cards in his Hand to help him turn the Duel around. <br />
* First, he revives his strongest Monster so far and he then adds his trusty "[[Time Wizard (anime)|Time Wizard]]" to the field.<br />
* Joey then brings out "Hermos" and then combines "Time Wizard" with the power of Hermos.<br />
** To his bewilderment, the result is [[Time Magic Hammer (anime)|a golden cartoonish hammer with tiny wings]].<br />
* Valon laughs at such a ridiculous thing being used as a weapon, but Yami Yugi, Yugi and Rafael know there is more to it than just appearance.<br />
* Joey decides to put his trust in this Card anyway. He equips it to his Warrior and Attacks.<br />
** Mai decides to play it safe, using a parrying Trap. The hammer activates its magic anyway, opening a hole in the group which places a magical orb atop each of Mai's monsters and each orb turns into a number.<br />
** Nothing else happens. Joey has no choice left but to end his turn.<br />
* Mai takes her turn, intending to end this once and for all, but all at once, her Monsters are all sucked into the hole opened by the hammer. Neither she nor Joey knows how that happened, nor does Yami Yugi, but he notes that the hole is still there.<br />
* Joey seizes the opportunity for a Direct Attack, cutting Mai's lead significantly. As she gets back to her feet from the impact, she is shuddering to think that she is once again in danger of losing. Joey is determined to end the duel in a Draw so that neither him nor Mai will lose their soul.<br />
* When she starts her next turn, "[[Harpie's Pet Dragon (anime)|Harpie's Pet Dragon]]" returns to her field. This enables Yami Yugi and Yugi to realize the true power of "Time Magic Hammer": it doesn't Destroy Monsters, but rather, it sends them into the 'future' a random number of Turns. Since the "Harpie's Pet Dragon" had a 1 on it, Mai has it back 1 Turn after it was removed.<br />
* Mai seizes onto the advantage in attack power right away, attacking even as Rafael mutters how she's losing her composure. Valon yells out in protest. But it's too late: Joey triggers the Trap he took the chance to set on his previous Turn. "Harpie's Pet Dragon" is Destroyed, and Mai's Life Points are reduced very near to Joey's. To her, it only means she is very near to losing.<br />
* Rafael gives up on her, but without another word, Valon leaps from the balcony from which he has been looking down. He uses the Orichalcos stone on his ring to break through the barrier projected by the Seal. <br />
** The magical barrier explodes, and when the smoke clears, both Duelists are unconscious.<br />
* As Valon clutches Mai to him and pays no heed to Rafael's scolding. Rafael tells Yami Yugi he'll be going after him next. He raises his own stone, projecting a light which makes everybody shield their eyes. When they look again, the three are gone.<br />
<br />
==Aftermath==<br />
* They wake up Joey, who is furious at losing Mai anyway, but just then, [[Duke Devlin]] succeeds in activating the computers at the security station and unlocks the security gates.<br />
* Kaiba and Mokuba arrive, to everyone's surprise. Kaiba asks if Pegasus is alright and Yami merely replies 'no'. Honda adds that Mai was the one who got Pegasus, and Kaiba, hearing the name Doma, talks about the Duel he had with Alister. They all go to Pegasus' private room where Yami Yugi is to receive a message from Pegasus.<br />
<br />
==Pegasus' Narration==<br />
* Yami Yugi unlocks the door with a Card (the "Illusion Key") given to him by Pegasus, and they find a Toon-decorated room with a recording of Pegasus saying that Doma is the one behind the Monsters released into their world and has always been influencing several important events through humanity's history and civilization for thousands of years from behind the scenes (the rise and fall of the Roman empire, the Renaissance... etc.). <br />
*He also confirms that the takeovers of KaibaCorp and Industrial Illusions were done by them. Doma is a very powerful and secretive organization, owning a fortune equivalent to that of the U.S., even. <br />
*Pegasus has designed a Card which will grant the power to defeat him. Searching the room, they find a [[Legend of Heart (anime)|Card with a blue background]], but it shows a blank space where the image would be, and there is no text of any sort on it. For the time being, they decide on naming it a "Nameless Card".<br />
* Kaiba is strongly opposed to working together with any of them, because he just realized that [[Gozaburo Kaiba|Gouzaburo]] used to mention a 'Dark' presence pulling the strings of the world's economy. He is dumbfounded when Yami Yugi reveals "[[The Eye of Timaeus (anime)|The Eye of Timaeus]]". Joey shows that he holds "[[Claw of Hermos|The Claw of Hermos]]", and when Yami voices his guess that Kaiba has a similar card, Kaiba brings out "[[Fang of Critias (anime)|The Fang of Critias]]". All three Cards glow together, and the three of them realize that their fate is to battle with all of them united.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* Just before Mai attacks with her returned Pet Dragon in the English version, she mocks Joey, saying, "Next time you rely on a card, learn how to use it. Not like there'll be a next time." In the Japanese version, she is reassuring herself that it's okay now, that she won't lose after all. In both cases, both Valon and Rafael realize that she's slipping into an unsafe move.<br />
<br />
* In the dub, Pegasus indicates the statue holding his secret Card by hinting, "Where can you find an extra card?" In the original, Yami Yugi notes it as the only decoration that doesn't match the Toon-dedicated decor of the room.<br />
** The "Nameless Card" will eventually be used in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 181|Yami Yugi's Duel against Dartz]].<br />
<br />
==Featured Duel: Mai Valentine vs. Joey Wheeler - Part 4==<br />
<br />
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 153|Duel continues from previous episode.]]''<br />
<br />
Joey has 200 [[LP|Life Points]] remaining and controls no cards.<br />
<br />
Mai has 3600 Life Points remaining and controls "Harpie's Pet Dragon" (3400/2500) and three "Harpie Ladies" (1800/1400) in Attack Position and "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]".<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 14: Joey'''</u><br /><br />
Joey has just drawn "[[Claw of Hermos|The Claw of Hermos]]". He then activates "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[The Fiend Megacyber (anime)|The Fiend Megacyber]]" (2200/1200) from his Graveyard in Attack Position. Joey then [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Time Wizard (anime)|Time Wizard]]" (500/400) in Attack Position. He then activates "[[Claw of Hermos|The Claw of Hermos]]" to send the latter and "Time Wizard" to the Graveyard and activate "[[Time Magic Hammer (anime)|Time Magic Hammer]]". Joey equips "Time Magic Hammer" to "The Fiend Megacyber". <br />
<br />
"The Fiend Megacyber" attacks "Harpie's Pet Dragon", but Mai activates "[[Harpie Lady Sparrow Formation]]" to negate the attack. The effect of "Time Magic Hammer" then activates, giving a random number from 1-6 to each of Mai's monsters: 1 to "[[Harpie's Pet Dragon (anime)|Harpie's Pet Dragon]]" and 3, 2, and 6 for the three "[[Harpie Lady (anime)|Harpie Ladies]]".<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 15: Mai'''</u><br /><br />
Mai draws. On Mai's Standby Phase, all of Mai's monsters are removed from play. During each of Mai's Standby Phases, a monster that "Time Magic Hammer" removed from play will be returned to the field if its number corresponds to the number of Mai's turns that have passed since Joey activated the effect of "Time Magic Hammer". Mai then Sets a Card.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 16: Joey'''</u><br /><br />
Joey draws. "The Fiend Megacyber" attacks directly (Mai 3600 → 1400). Joey Sets one Card.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 17: Mai'''</u><br /><br />
Mai draws. On Mai's Standby Phase, the effect of "Time Magic Hammer" returns "Harpie's Pet Dragon" to the field in the same Battle Position it was in prior to it being removed from play (2000 → 2500/2500). "Harpie's Pet Dragon" attacks "The Fiend Megacyber", but Joey activates his face-down "[[Skull Dice (anime)|Skull Dice]]" to roll a die and divide the ATK of "Harpie's Pet Dragon" by the result. Joey get a two ("Harpie's Pet Dragon": 2500 → 1250/2500). "The Fiend Megacyber" destroys "Harpie's Pet Dragon" (Mai 1400 → 450). <br />
<br />
At this point, [[Valon]] uses a fragment of Orichalcos on his ring to unlock "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]" as he can't bear to see Mai lose her soul. This causes the Duel to end with no result as an explosion sends Yami, Tea and Tristan flying away and knocked out.<br />

<br />
==Recapitulation==<br />
* [[Mai]] has activated the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]" against [[Joey]], having joined Doma in the search for power great enough to ensure that she could never be defeated.<br />
** The Duel is observed by [[Yami Yugi]], [[Téa]], [[Tristan]], [[Valon]] and [[Rafael]]. [[Weevil]] and [[Rex]] also watch the Duel from behind the security gate. The later two have just arrived along with [[Duke Devlin]], who goes to try to find another way in and disable security.<br />
<br />
==On The Very Edge==<br />
* Joey's turns up until now have been half-hearted because he does not want to defeat her in such conditions. However, with only 200 Life Points left, he has realized that he must duel with all he has in order to reach her. With this, he takes his next turn, dealing the only damage Mai has taken so far. <br />
* Yami Yugi thinks that if Joey were to go for a Tie-In, maybe the Seal would break and none of them would lose their souls (exactly what happened in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 150|Kaiba's fight against Alister]].)<br />
* She calmly responds by summoning "[[Harpie's Pet Dragon (anime)|Harpie's Pet Dragon]]", increasing its attack power to overwhelming levels. Valon looks on eagerly and sure of her victory, while Rafael admits he was expecting more out of Joey.<br />
* Joey responds by activating a gambling Trap. He has a one-in-three chance of Negating her Attack; if he misses, the Attack will go through unchecked. He succeeds, but his Trap's other effect gives Mai back two Cards that wrecked his forces in previous turns.<br />
* Joey switches to defensive playing, and although his Life Points stay safe, his attempts to use effects on her attack forces are each parried by her new cards.<br />
* Rather than risk attacking into a dangerous effect, Mai draws on her newfound power, using her retrieved "[[Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation (anime)|Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation]]" to go for the kill. Joey saw this coming, and his defensive effect stops her chance of a finishing move. However, he is nearly out of resources, and he has not decreased her power at all.<br />
<br />
==The 3rd Dragon==<br />
* Backed into such a corner, he notices a bright light coming from his Deck. He is transported to another world, arriving at a crystal statue of a dragon with a sword stuck in it. He removes the sword, freeing "[[Claw of Hermos|The Claw of Hermos]]" and bonding to it. In the real world again, he takes his Turn, Drawing and revealing Hermos, the newest power of his Deck.<br />
* Rafael's Orichalcos fragments shines and he realizes it must be the "Legendary Dragon", making Valon nervous.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
* Kaiba is pulled back into the Dominion of the Beasts with Yugi when Joey is chosen to be Hermos' master, but ends up somewhere else.<br />
<br />
==Featured Duel: Mai Valentine vs. Joey Wheeler - Part 3==<br />
<br />
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 152|Duel continues from previous episode.]]''<br />
<br />
Joey has 200 [[LP|Life Points]] remaining and controls no cards<br />
<br />
Mai has 4000 Life Points remaining and controls two "[[Harpie Lady (anime)|Harpie Ladies]]" (1800/1400) and four "[[Copy Token]]s" (1800/1400) in Attack Position.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 8: Joey'''</u><br /><br />
Joey has just conducted his Draw Phase. Joey's hand contains "Compensation Mediation", "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]", "[[Time Wizard (anime)|Time Wizard]]", "Drop Off", and "The Fiend Megacyber". Since Mai has at least two more Monsters than him in play, Joey Special Summons "[[The Fiend Megacyber (anime)|The Fiend Megacyber]]" (2200/1200) in Attack Position via its own effect. "The Fiend Megacyber" attacks & destroys one "[[Harpie Lady (anime)|Harpie Lady]]" ([[Mai Valentine|Mai]] 4000 → 3600). Joey Sets a Card.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 9: Mai'''</u><br /><br />
Mai draws. She then [[Tribute]]s two of her four "[[Copy Token]]s" in order to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[Harpie's Pet Dragon (anime)|Harpie's Pet Dragon]]" (2000 → 2500/2500) in Attack Position. Due to the effect of "Harpie's Pet Dragon", it gains 300 ATK for each "Harpie Lady" on the field. There are currently three ("Harpie's Pet Dragon": 2500 → 3400/2500). <br />
<br />
"Harpie's Pet Dragon" attacks "The Fiend Megacyber", but Joey activates his face-down "[[Compensation Mediation]]" to force Mai to pick two Cards from her [[Graveyard]] and put them along with "Compensation Mediation" face-Down on the Field. Joey then picks one Card. It is revealed to be "Compensation Mediation", so Mai's Battle Phase immediately ends and she returns her two chosen Cards ("[[Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation (anime)|Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation]]" and "[[Harpie Lady Sparrow Formation]]") back to the top of her Deck in the order she chooses. Mai then moves her "Harpie Ladies" to the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]] and Sets two Cards.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 10: Joey'''</u><br /><br />
Joey draws. He then Sets a Card and a Monster. Joey then switches "The Fiend Megacyber" to [[Defense Position]].<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 11: Mai'''</u><br /><br />
Mai draws "Harpie Lady Sparrow Formation". Joey then activates his face-down "[[Drop Off (anime)|Drop Off]]" to make Mai discard the card she just drew, but Mai activates her face-down "[[Trap Jammer (anime)|Trap Jammer]]" to negate the effect of "Drop Off" and destroy it. Mai then sets a card. "Harpie's Pet Dragon" attacks & destroys Joey's "The Fiend Megacyber". "Harpie Lady" attacks & destroys Joey's face-down Monster, "[[Fiber Jar (anime)|Fiber Jar]]" (500/500). Since "Fiber Jar" was flipped face-up, its Flip Effect activates, which would add all the cards in both players' Graveyards to their Decks and force both players draw five cards, but Mai activates her face-down "[[Harpie's Feather Storm (anime)|Harpie's Feather Storm]]" to negate the Flip Effect of "Fiber Jar" and end the Battle Phase.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 12: Joey'''</u><br /><br />
Joey draws a Monster and subsequently sets it.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 13: Mai'''</u><br /><br />
Mai draws "[[Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation (anime)|Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation]]" and subsequently activates it to destroy Joey's face-down monster and inflict its total ATK as damage to Joey. The set monster is revealed to be "[[Neko Mane King (anime)|Neko Mane King]]" (0/0). Since "Neko Mane King" was destroyed by a card effect, its effect activates, ending Mai's turn immediately.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 14: Joey'''</u><br /><br />
Joey & Yami Yugi have a vision, and Joey unlocks the "[[Claw of Hermos|The Claw of Hermos]]". It is the card he draws during his [[Draw Phase]].<br />

==Major events==<br />
*First Duel of the [[Battle City]] Semi-Finals.<br />
*This is a [[Shadow Game]] with upped stakes. [[Yami Marik|Marik]] makes it so that "dark energy strings" connect Marik and [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] to each monster they summon. As a monster is destroyed or weakened, a corresponding amount of "damage" is dealt to the monster's owner. As it turns out, Joey is the only one whose physical energy is visibly affected, albeit not as badly as Marik had expected.<br />
<br />
==Featured Duel: Marik Ishtar vs. Joey Wheeler - Part 1==<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 1: Yami Marik'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Marik draws "[[Gil Garth (anime)|Gil Garth]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1800/1200) in [[Attack Position]]. He then [[Set]]s a card ("Dark Wall of Wind").<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 2: Joey Wheeler'''</u><br /><br />
Joey draws "Alligator's Sword". [[Joey]]'s [[hand]] contains "[[Scapegoat (later anime)|Scapegoat]]", "[[Rocket Warrior (anime)|Rocket Warrior]]", "[[Graceful Dice (anime)|Graceful Dice]]", "[[Foolish Burial (anime)|Foolish Burial]]", "[[Baby Dragon (anime)|Baby Dragon]]" and "[[Alligator's Sword (anime)|Alligator's Sword]]". He then [[Set]]s a card and Joey [[Normal Summon]]s "Alligator's Sword" (1500/1200) in [[Defense Position]].<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 3: Yami Marik'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Marik draws. He then [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Drillago (anime)|Drillago]]" (1600/1100) in [[Attack Position]]. "Drillago" attacks and [[destroy]]s "Alligator's Sword". "Gil Garth" attacks directly, but Joey activates his face-down "Scapegoat" to [[Special Summon]] four "[[Sheep Token (anime)|Sheep Tokens]]" (0/0 for each) in [[Defense Position]]. "Gil Garth" destroys a "Sheep Token".<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 4: Joey Wheeler'''</u><br /><br />
Joey draws "[[Panther Warrior (anime)|Panther Warrior]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (2000/1600) in [[Attack Position]]. He then [[Tribute]]s a "Sheep Token" to allow "Panther Warrior" to attack. "Panther Warrior" attacks and destroys "Gil Garth" ([[Yami Marik|Marik]] 4000 → 3800).<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 5: Yami Marik'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Marik draws "Hidden Soldiers". [[Marik]]'s hand contains "[[Card of Last Will (anime)|Card of Last Will]]", "Tribute Burial", "Plasma Eel", "Helpoemer" and "Hidden Soldiers". Yami Marik [[Activate|activates]] "[[Tribute Burial (anime)|Tribute Burial]]" to [[Banish|remove from play]] "Alligator's Sword" from [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]]'s [[Graveyard]] and "Gil Garth" from his own Graveyard in order to [[Normal Summon]] "[[Helpoemer (anime)|Helpoemer]]" (2000/1400) in [[Attack Position]] without Tributing. Yami Marik then [[set]]s a card.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 6: Joey Wheeler'''</u><br /><br />
Joey draws "[[Jinzo (anime)|Jinzo]]". He then [[Normal Summon]]s "Rocket Warrior" (1500/1300) in [[Attack Position]]. [[Yami Marik|Marik]] then [[activate]]s his face-down "[[Hidden Soldiers (anime)|Hidden Soldiers]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Plasma Eel]]" (500/1200) in [[Attack Position]] since Joey Normal Summoned a monster. Yami Marik activates the effect of "Plasma Eel" to equip the latter to "Panther Warrior". "Rocket Warrior" attacks "Helpoemer". Due to the effect of "Rocket Warrior", it is not destroyed and Joey takes no Battle Damage. After damage calculation, the final effect of "Rocket Warrior" reduces the ATK of "Helpoemer" [[ATK]] by 500 until the end of the turn ("Helpoemer": 2000 → 1500/1400). <br />
<br />
Joey then [[Tribute]]s a "Sheep Token" to allow "Panther Warrior" to attack. "Panther Warrior" attacks and destroys "Helpoemer" ([[Yami Marik|Marik]] 3800 → 3300). Since "Helpoemer" was sent to the [[Graveyard]] as a result of battle, Joey is now forced to randomly discard a card from his hand at the end of each of his [[Battle Phase]]s so long as "Helpoemer" is in the Graveyard. At the end of the Battle Phase, the effect of "Helpoemer" forces [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] to discard "Jinzo".<br />
<br />
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 126|Duel continues next episode.]]''<br />
<br />
==Changes to the English dub==<br />
* The pincers on "[[Plasma Eel]]" are made glowy in the dub.<br />
* Cut from the dub is "Plasma Eel" digging into the head of "[[Panther Warrior (anime)|Panther Warrior]]" and the latter twitching.<br />
* The violence against the "[[Sheep Token (anime)|Sheep Tokens]]" is obscured in the dub.<br />
* The cross of "[[Helpoemer (anime)|Helpoemer]]" is changed to a slab in the English version.<br />

==Major Events==<br />
<br />
*The Four-way free duel continues. The first two duelists to lose will face each other in the semi-finals and so will the victors.<br />
**[[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] follows his plans to duel [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] in the semi-finals to get his "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (anime)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]. But then realizes that the first two people to lose will duel. Not able to let himself lose the duel on purpose, he decides on defeating [[Yami Marik|Marik]] and [[Joey Wheeler]].<br />
**[[Yugi]] also realizes that he would also need more power to stand against Marik's [[Egyptian God]] Card. Therefore, he goes after Kaiba, as not wanting to Joey.<br />
**Joey is determined to duel [[Yami Marik]] in the next round, as he had made a promise to [[Mai Valentine|Mai]] to bring her back (revealed later). So he wants to make sure that he and Marik lose this duel.<br />
**[[Yami Marik|Marik]] is not too keen to duel anyone and only attacks them who are vulnerable, as he is sure that sooner or later, he will have his revenge against the [[Pharaoh Atem|Pharaoh]].<br />
<br />
*Meanwhile, [[Serenity]] gets worried about [[Mai]]'s Condition and Joey's Duel. <br />
<br />
<br />
==Featured Duel: Yami Yugi vs. Joey Wheeler vs. Seto Kaiba vs. Yami Marik==<br />
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 122|Duel continues from previous episode.]]''<br />
<br />
All players still have 4000 [[LP|Life Points]] remaining.<br />
<br />
Kaiba controls "Vorse Raider" (1900/1200) in Attack Position and one set card.<br />
<br />
Yami Marik controls "Newdoria" (1200/800) in Attack Position.<br />
<br />
Yami Yugi controls "Big Shield Gardna" (100/2600) in Defense Position, "The Regulation of Tribe", and one set card.<br />
<br />
Joey controls one set card ("[[Graverobber (anime)|Graverobber]]")<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 6: Yami Marik'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Marik draws. He then Sets a card and Normal Summons "[[Lord Poison (anime)|Lord Poison]]" (1500/1000) in Attack Position. Yami Marik then switches "[[Newdoria (anime)|Newdoria]]" (1200/800) to Attack Position. "Newdoria" then attacks "[[Vorse Raider (anime)|Vorse Raider]]". "Vorse Raider" destroys "Newdoria", but the effect of "Newdoria" then activates, destroying "Vorse Raider". Yami Marik then activates "[[Spell of Pain (anime)|Spell of Pain]]" to redirect the Battle Damage he would have taken to Joey instead (Joey 4000 → 3300).<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 7: Yami Yugi'''</u><br /><br />
Yugi draws. He then chooses not to pay the [[Maintenance Cost]] for "The Regulation of Tribe", so it is destroyed. He then Tributes "[[Big Shield Gardna (anime)|Big Shield Gardna]]" in order to Tribute Summon "[[Beast of Gilfer (anime)|Beast of Gilfer]]" (2200/2500) in Attack Position. "Beast of Gilfer" attacks Seto directly, but Seto activates his face-down "[[Attack Guidance Armor (anime)|Attack Guidance Armor]]" to redirect the attack to Marik's "Lord Poison". Marik activates his face-down "[[Mirror Force (anime)|Mirror Force]]" to destroy all Attack Position monsters on Yugi's side of the field, but Yugi activates his face-down "[[Seven Tools of the Bandit (anime)|Seven Tools of the Bandit]]" to negate and destroy "Mirror Force" by paying 1000 Life Points (Yugi 4000 → 3000). "Beast of Gilfer" then destroys "Lord Poison" (Marik 4000 → 3300).<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 8: Joey'''</u><br /><br />
Joey draws "[[Gearfried the Iron Knight (anime)|Gearfried the Iron Knight]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1800/1600) in Attack Position. "Gearfried the Iron Knight" then attacks Kaiba directly (Seto 4000 → 2200). Joey Sets a card.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 9: Kaiba'''</u><br /><br />
Kaiba draws. He then Sets three cards and Normal Summons "[[Blade Knight (anime)|Blade Knight]]" (1600/1000) in Attack Position. Kaiba then uses "Blade Knight" to attack Marik directly (Marik 3300 → 1700).<br />
<br />
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 124|Duel concludes next episode.]]''<br />
<br />
== Differences in Adaptions ==<br />
* In the flashback of Ishizu kneeling in the Pharaoh's tomb, the flower is not seen on top of the stone or with the Millennium Necklace.<br />
* In the flashback of Marik confronting Ishizu when trying to get "Obelisk the Tormentor", we see in the Japanese version that a large amount of the vault's guards come out to capture Marik and his Rare Hunters, but he renders them unconscious with the power of the Millennium Rod. This scene, and any more of the fallen guards, such as when Ishizu runs to the broken window, are cut out of the dub.<br />
* The rocket launcher that Rishid used to blow open the window for Marik and his Rare Hunter to escape was cut out of the dub, and therefore it was not seen being put around his back as Ishizu ran to the broken window.<br />
* In this confrontation, the Japanese version added more, with Marik saying he will come back for her so the three of them can all live together again and finding the Pharaoh in order to get revenge about supposedly killing their father.<br />

"'''Showdown in the Shadows, Part 1'''", titled "'''Marik vs Bakura'''" ({{Ruby|闇|マリク}}{{Ruby|対|vs}}{{Ruby|闇|獏良}} ''Mariku Vāsasu Bakura'') in the Japanese version, is the ninety-sixth episode of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime]]. The [[wikipedia:kanji|kanji]] in the Japanese name, 闇対闇, is normally read as ''Yami Tai Yami'', meaning "'''Darkness vs Darkness'''", while the [[wikipedia:Furigana|furigana]], マリクvs獏良 makes it ''Mariku Vāsasu Bakura'', meaning "'''Marik vs Bakura'''".<br />
<br />
It first aired in Japan on February 26, 2002 and in the United States on October 25, 2003.<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
[[Yami Bakura]] Duels [[Yami Marik]] with the regular [[Marik Ishtar]] by his side. Whoever wins gets the other player's [[Millennium Item]]. As the player's [[Life Points]] decrease, they lose a portion of their body. (In the English dub, the loser is sent to the [[Shadow Realm]].)<br />
<br />
==Featured Duel: Yami Bakura vs. Yami Marik, Part 1==<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 1: Yami Bakura'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Bakura draws "Fearful Earthbound" and subsequently sets it. He then [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Goblin Zombie (anime)|Goblin Zombie]]" (1100/1050) in [[Attack Position]].<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 2: Yami Marik'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Marik draws "Remove Trap" and subsequently sets it. He then Normal Summons "[[Drillago (anime)|Drillago]]" (1600/1100) in Attack Position. "Drillago" [[attack]]s and [[destroy]]s "Goblin Zombie" ([[Yami Bakura]]: 4000 → 3500 Life Points). Yami Bakura [[activate]]s his face-down "[[Fearful Earthbound]]", which will inflict 500 damage to Yami Marik each time one of Yami Marik's monsters attack, but [[Yami Marik]] activates his face-down "[[Remove Trap (anime)|Remove Trap]]" to destroy "Fearful Earthbound".<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 3: Yami Bakura'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Bakura draws [[Spirit Message "I" (anime)|Spirit Message "I"]]. Yami Bakura's hand contains "Exchange", "Multiple Destruction", "Gernia", Spirit Message "I", and "[[Destiny Board (anime)|Destiny Board]]". Yami Bakura Sets two cards and Normal Summons "[[Gernia (anime)|Gernia]]" (1300/1200) in [[Defense Position]].<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 4: Yami Marik'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Marik's [[hand]] contains "[[Black Pendant (anime)|Black Pendant]]", "[[Melchid the Four-Face Beast (anime)|Melchid the Four-Face Beast]]", "[[Jam Defender (anime)|Jam Defender]]", and "[[The Mask of Remnants (anime)|The Mask of Remnants]]". Yami Marik draws "[[Card of Sanctity (anime)|Card of Sanctity]]" and subsequently activates it to make both players [[Draw a card|draw]] until they have six cards in their hand (Yami Marik draws two cards, while Yami Bakura draws four cards). Yami Bakura then activates his face-down "[[Multiple Destruction (anime)|Multiple Destruction]]" to force both duelists to [[discard]] their entire hand and draw five cards. Yami Bakura however takes 100 damage for each card that he discarded by this effect (Yami Bakura: 3500 → 2900 Life Points). Yami Marik's hand contains "[[Joyful Doom]]", "[[Makyura the Destructor (anime)|Makyura the Destructor]]", "[[Rope of Life (anime)|Rope of Life]]", "[[Card of Last Will (anime)|Card of Last Will]]", and "[[Pot of Greed (anime)|Pot of Greed]]". Yami Marik Sets a card.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 5: Yami Bakura'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Bakura draws "Puppet Master". Yami Bakura then [[Tribute]]s "Gernia" in order to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[Puppet Master (anime)|Puppet Master]]" (0/0) in Attack Position. Since "Puppet Master" was Tribute Summoned, Yami Bakura activates the effect of "Puppet Master" to [[pay]] 1000 Life Points (Yami Bakura: 2900 → 1900 Life Points) and [[Special Summon]] "[[Headless Knight (anime)|Headless Knight]]" (1450/1700), "Goblin Zombie" (1100/1050), and "[[The Earl of Demise (anime)|The Earl of Demise]]" (2000/700) from his [[Graveyard]] in [[Attack Position]]. However, they cannot attack this turn. <br />
<br />
Yami Bakura then activates "[[Dark Designator (anime)|Dark Designator]]" and declares "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (anime)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" for its effect. Since "The Winged Dragon of Ra" is in Yami Marik's [[Main Deck|Deck]], he adds it to his hand. Yami Bakura then activates his face-down "[[Exchange (anime)|Exchange]]" to take "The Winged Dragon of Ra" from Yami Marik's hand while Yami Marik takes "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" from Yami Bakura's hand. Yami Bakura's hand now contains "The Winged Dragon of Ra", [[Spirit Message "N" (anime)|Spirit Message "N"]], "[[The Portrait's Secret (anime)|The Portrait's Secret]]", and "[[Premature Burial (anime)|Premature Burial]]".<br />

== Differences in adaptations ==<br />
* In the Japanese version, after Marik talks about seeing the turbaned man as a child, Bakura thinks that it must have been Shadi, but that "five years ago he was already...", a hint that Bakura had killed Shadi many years ago. In the dub, this is replaced with Bakura thinking about how Marik has many secrets that he has kept from him, and that they will cost him dearly.<br />
* When Bakura thinks that Yami Marik is expecting that he will win via "Destiny Board", "Destiny Board" is shown over Bakura in the dub.<br />
* In Marik's hand, "Black Pendant" is changed to "Morphing Jar" in the dub, and also in Bakura's hand "Morphing Jar" replaces "Premature Burial".<br />
* In the Japanese, after Bakura activates "Multiple Destruction", Marik has "Joyful Doom", a Normal Monster whose art is covered in shadow, "Rope of Life", "Card of Last Will" and "Pot of Greed" in his hand. In the dub, "Gift of the Mystical Elf" replaces "Joyful Doom", the Normal Monster appears to be "The Earl of Demise", and "Fearful Earthbound" replaces "Card of Last Will". Marik then sets a card in both versions, which is later revealed to be "Joyful Doom", despite not appearing to have it in his hand in the dub.<br />
* In the English dub, Mai's cleavage and her skirt when she appears in Joey's nightmare are erased and made longer respectively. Due to this, after she is pulled into the darkness, the edits made to the scene are visible against the black background for a second.<br />
* After Marik gives Yami Bakura the secret to supposedly make Ra powerless, in the dub Yami Bakura warns him that if it works and they defeat his alter ego, Marik may lose his body, but Marik says "I'll risk it! Now go!". However, in the Japanese, Yami Bakura does not "warn" Marik; after getting the secret, Yami Bakura tells Marik to rejoice and he will blast Marik's body apart using his own advice, but Marik says he does not care and to do it.<br />
* In the dub, the flashback of Shadi appearing in Yami Yugi's room in the Puzzle has the sound of Yami Yugi allowing Shadi to enter and warning him to watch his step, while in the Japanese, there is no sound.<br />
* In the dub, after walking back to his side of the arena, Yami Marik's face-down Trap Card is seen backwards, with the art of the card closest to his feet, and the purple bottom, showing that it is a trap card, facing toward Yami Bakura. However, his trap card is seen correctly in the original, with what seems to be the card's name facing toward Bakura.<br />
<br />
==Errors==<br />
* When Yugi opens the door to Yami Yugi's mind room, the back of the door is shown to be like the front, with the eye and veins on it, but then in a faraway view from higher up, when Yugi is first inside, the back of the door that Yugi entered through does not have the eye or veins.<br />
<br />
* Yami Marik is shown to only have the Millennium Rod once, in the back of his pants' belt, although it disappears in the next scene. It is shown in the faraway "face-up" scene when Yami Marik tells Yami Bakura and the regular Marik to stop arguing, but then the next scene shows his back and the other two duelists, and the Rod is not in his belt.<br />
<br />
* After Yami Bakura takes the Winged Dragon of Ra from Yami Marik's hand, who states that he cannot control Ra's power, Marik's spirit returns in his original clothing, but then from a faraway scene showing Yami Bakura's part of the arena from the side, he is wearing the same clothes as his darker self, except the cape. Afterward, when Yami Marik walks back to his side of the arena, in a scene from the back of Yami Bakura and Marik, he is wearing his usual clothes once again.<br />
<br />
* After walking back to his side of the arena, Yami Marik's face-down Trap Card is seen backwards, with the art of the card closest to his feet, and the purple bottom, showing that it is a trap card, facing toward Yami Bakura.<br />
<br />
* The regular Marik is wearing the wrong clothes again. After Yami Marik claims that he is complete without Marik, Marik is seen arguing with him about this in Yami Marik's clothes, without the cape, again.

<br />
==Featured Duel: Mai Valentine vs. Yami Marik, Part 3==<br />
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 091|Duel continued from previous episode.]]''<br />
<br />
Mai has 2100 [[LP|Life Points]] remaining and controls "The Winged Dragon of Ra" in [[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode (anime)|The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode]].<br />
<br />
Yami Marik has 1050 Life Points remaining and controls "Holding Arms" (500/?) in Attack Position.<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 13: Mai'''</u><br /><br />
Mai [[Set]]s a card ("[[Gravity Bind (anime)|Gravity Bind]]").<br />
<br />
<u>'''Turn 14: Yami Marik'''</u><br /><br />
Yami Marik draws. He then [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Holding Legs (anime)|Holding Legs]]" (800/600) in [[Attack Position]]. The effect of "Holding Legs" then activates, returning all [[Spell Card|Magic]] and [[Trap Card]]s on the [[Playing Field|field]] to their owner's hands. As Yami Marik now controls both "Holding Arms" and "Holding Legs", "[[Sacred Stone of Ujat]]" appears behind Mai. "[[Holding Arms (anime)|Holding Arms]]" and "Holding Legs" [[Direct attack|attack]] directly (Mai 2100 → 1300 → 800). [[Yami Marik|Marik]] then chants the ancient text on "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (anime)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" to gain [[control]] of it and unlock it ("The Winged Dragon of Ra": ???? → 5400/???? → 3900). "The Winged Dragon of Ra" attacks directly (Mai 800 → 0).<br />
<br />
==Changes to the English Version==<br />
* The cuffs are obscured when they grab Mai's arms and legs in the US version.<br />
* Mai's skirt is made longer in the dub.<br />
* A shot of "Holding Legs" merging into the stone is cut from the US version.<br />
* A shot of Mai being attacked is cut from the US version.<br />
* In the dub when "Winged Dragon of Ra" attacks Mai, her mind will be trapped in the [[Shadow Realm]] forever; in the Japanese version she will die.<br />
* Cut from the US version is a scene in which Yami Marik explains his birth was at the tombkeeper ceremony on the day Marik was ten. The pain and suffering his father gave him made him want to destroy himself, and he thus created another personality to live and protect himself.<br />
* Yami Marik about to kill Yugi with the dagger is cut.<br />
* In the giant hourglass, Mai is heard screaming for help in the dub and even responding to Yami Marik. However, in the original, she is only heard making tiny sounds, including large gasps, and never yelling, even when pounding on the hourglass walls, although her mouth is still seen moving as though asking for help. Also, when Joey disappears from her memory after Yami Marik takes back his God card, Joey says "Hey, Mai. Later", and she screams for him to not leave her and come back. However, Japanese Joey makes no sound when he is erased from her memories, but Mai finally whispers "Jonouchi".<br />
* <span>Mai's eyes are closed in the dub when she gets her mind sent to the Shadow Realm/dies.</span><br />
<br />
==Errors==<br />
* Yugi's golden eye on his forehead disappears and comes back multiple times. After Marik warns Yugi not to intrude on the Shadow Game again, Yugi causes the golden eye to first appear on his forehead, but when Tea voices her worries about Mai, it disappears. However, as Marik starts the chant and the sphere starts to unbind into Ra, the eye reappears, but then in a close-up, when Yugi says that the monster belongs to Marik again, it is gone. When the wind blows extremely hard after Marik completely summons Ra, Yugi is seen covering his right eye due to the wind, without his golden eye on his forehead. However, in the next scene of him, a close-up split between Yugi and Kaiba, the eye is shown once again. His golden eye is seen right before Ra begins to power up its attack, but then when he protects Joey and Mai from it, the eye is no longer there.<br />
<br />
* In the dub, Marik's dagger is not shown, however a shot is still included where he puts it away.<br />

"'''Topologina'''" (トポロジーナ ''Toporojīna'') is an [[archetype]] of [[DARK]] [[Cyberse]] monsters used by [[Pandor]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]''.<br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
The archetype is based on bee motifs. The monsters being depicted as robots with streamlined, insect-like bodies, and have names that are portmanteaus of "bee" with another word. All Spell/Traps refer to things associated with bees. The archetype is Cyberse due to being a reference to [[wikipedia:Honeypot (computing)|honeypots]].<br />

==Playing style==<br />
The "Topologina" archetype utilizes an array of plays finalized to support the "[[Topologic]]" archetype, frequent Special Summoning above all, in order to both Summon them and trigger their devastating effects. An example of another is "Honeycomb Beehicle" recovering one of the player's banished "Topologina" cards (even itself) when banished from the [[Spell & Trap Zone]], playing off "[[Topologic Trisbaena (anime)|Topologic Trisbaena]]".<br />

* When "[[Soul Release]]" is played, and more than 3 cards are [[select]]ed, the game will crashed. This bug was fixed in version 0.514_v26 (ver. 1.06 for Android).<br />
* An previous Duel that either the player or the opponent win or lose can be repeated, this cause the player and the opponent to have the same cards from before. Furthermore, this can occur while facing a different opponent instead only the player will have the same cards from before.<br />
* If the player tries to connect the game server with a low [[wikipedia:cellular network|mobile network]], the game will crashed. This can be fixed by switching to a [[wikipedia:wireless network|wireless network]].<br />
* If the player use a non-English setting and manage to crash the game, then the card shown in the Main Menu will have English text on the name and text box instead. Spell and Trap Card will only retain the non-English text on the card type section. <br />
* If a [[Chain]] occurred while the opponent attempts to [[Summon]] "[[Darkness Neosphere]]", the game will crashed. This bug was fixed in version 1.925a_v57a (ver. 57a for Android/ver 1.925 for iOS).<br />
* Before the start of a Duel, a small gift icon will briefly appear, and then disappear. This occur in version 1.925a_v57a (ver. 57a for Android/ver 1.925 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS).<br />
* If the player were to go near as 200 pages in the new cards listing from the Deck Editor section, the game will crashed. Furthermore, if the player were to tap as fast as possible, it will crash at below 200 pages. This occur in version 1.925a_v57a (ver. 57a for Android/ver 1.925 for iOS).<br />
* If the player tap on the Recipe icon in Deck Editor, the game will crashed. Can be fixed by deleting app and redownloading. This occur and documented in version 1.925a_v57a (ver. 57a for Android/ver 1.925 for iOS). <br />
* Some [[Pendulum Monster]]s have their card text glitch up when placed onto the [[Monster Zone]] or [[Pendulum Zone]]. Sometimes the card text for Pendulum Monsters will be blank and sometimes the Monster Effect will be shown instead. This occur and documented in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 4.02a_v119a (ver. 119a for Android/ver. 2.100 for iOS).<br />
* If a card with a long text is activated, the text in the prompt to confirm the activation is shown outside the prompt. This occur and documented in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 3.8a_v106a (ver. 106a for Android/ver. 2.010 for iOS).<br />
* If the player uses the effect of "[[Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susanowo]]" to target a [[Field Spell Card|Field Spell]] in the opponent's Graveyard, the game will crash as the card is being placed onto the opponent's [[Field Zone]] instead of the player's. This occur in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS).<br />
* If the player uses a monster with a [[ATK]] that is higher than the [[Xyz Monster]] as [[Xyz Material]], the monster with the highest ATK will sometime be on top of the Xyz Monster instead. This causes the game function and prompt for the Xyz Monster like the activation of its effect, attacks, look at its Material(s) and switches battle position to not work. So far, the effect that would work is if the Xyz Monster has the text "During each of your End Phases: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card.". Furthermore, cards that increases ATK like [[Field Spell Card]] or [[Continuous Spell Card]] will sometime affect the monster that is being used as Material. The only solution toward this problem is to detach the monster with the higher ATK before the bug occurred. This occur and documented in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS).<br />
* If the player use a card that prevent themselves from drawing for the rest of the turn and has a another copies of the card in the Graveyard, then when the player was to draw a card, multiple copies of the card will be shown and activated, instead of one copy. This occur and documented in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS).<br />
* If the player is Dueling in a two out of three match, the second match would always featured a inaccurate Deck count. Furthermore, if the player in the previous match has a lower count than the opponent, then in the next match, the opponent would start with a inaccurate count. Though if both players have a one to two card difference in the previous match, then in the next match, both players will start with an inaccurate count. Also, if the player was to surrender the Duel, then the player who surrender will have the inaccurate Deck count. This bug is easily fixed whenever the Deck is shuffled. This occur and documented in version 3.18a_v116a (ver. 116a for Android/ver. 2.020 for iOS).<br />
* If the player was to tap/use a Pendulum Monster(s) with no [[Pendulum Effect]], the game will crashed. So far, the cards are "[[Flash Knight]]", "[[Mandragon]]", "[[Performapal Trump Girl]]", "[[Steel Cavalry of Dinon]]" and the "[[Majespecter]]" Pendulum Monsters. Furthermore, if the player was to Duel a Duelist with a certain Decklists that used a Pendulum Monster(s) with no Pendulum Effect in Campaign Mode, the Duel would be render unplayable as the game will crashed. These Duelists are [[Dennis McField (Duel Generation)|Dennis McField]] (Majespecter) and [[Yuya Sakaki (Duel Generation)|Yuya Sasaki]] (Performapal/Odd-Eyes: "Performapal Trump Girl"). Also, if the player were to taps on these cards in Deck Editor, the game will crashed. This occurs and documented in version 4.02a_v119a (ver. 119a for Android/ver. 2.100 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 4.04a_v121a (ver. 121a for Android/ver. 2.200 for iOS).<br />
* If a Xyz Monster was Xyz Summoned using only Pendulum Monsters as an Xyz Material, then the game will crashed as soon as the Xyz Summoned monster is placed onto the field. This occur and documented in version 4.02a_v119a (ver. 119a for Android/ver. 2.100 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 4.04a_v121a (ver. 121a for Android/ver. 2.200 for iOS).<br />
* If a non-Pendulum Monster was [[Tribute Summon]]ed/[[Tribute Set|Set]] using only the face-up Pendulum Monster on the [[Monster Zone]] as [[Tribute]], then the game will crashed as soon as the Tribute Summoned/Set non-Pendulum Monster is placed onto the field. This occur and documented in version 4.02a_v119a (ver. 119a for Android/ver. 2.100 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 4.04a_v121a (ver. 121a for Android/ver. 2.200 for iOS).<br />

{{Incomplete|list}}<br />
* When a card is Special Summoned from your hand and there is more than one copies in the hand, the copies will be shown in the hand. This remain as long as the hand aren't randomly shuffled. This bug was fixed in version 0.514_v26 (ver. 1.06 for Android).<br />
* When "[[Soul Release]]" is played, and more than 3 cards are [[select]]ed, the game will crashed. This bug was fixed in version 0.514_v26 (ver. 1.06 for Android).<br />
* An previous Duel that either the player or the opponent win or lose can be repeated, this cause the player and the opponent to have the same cards from before. Furthermore, this can occur while facing a different opponent instead only the player will have the same cards from before.<br />
* If the player tries to connect the game server with a low [[wikipedia:cellular network|mobile network]], the game will crashed. This can be fixed by switching to a [[wikipedia:wireless network|wireless network]].<br />
* If the player use a non-English setting and manage to crash the game, then the card shown in the Main Menu will have English text on the name and text box instead. Spell and Trap Card will only retain the non-English text on the card type section. <br />
* If a [[Chain]] occurred while the opponent attempts to [[Summon]] "[[Darkness Neosphere]]", the game will crashed. This bug was fixed in version 1.925a_v57a (ver. 57a for Android/ver 1.925 for iOS).<br />
* Before the start of a Duel, a small gift icon will briefly appear, and then disappear. This occur in version 1.925a_v57a (ver. 57a for Android/ver 1.925 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS).<br />
* If the player were to go near as 200 pages in the new cards listing from the Deck Editor section, the game will crashed. Furthermore, if the player were to tap as fast as possible, it will crash at below 200 pages. This occur in version 1.925a_v57a (ver. 57a for Android/ver 1.925 for iOS).<br />
* If the player tap on the Recipe icon in Deck Editor, the game will crashed. Can be fixed by deleting app and redownloading. This occur and documented in version 1.925a_v57a (ver. 57a for Android/ver 1.925 for iOS). <br />
* Some [[Pendulum Monster]]s have their card text glitch up when placed onto the [[Monster Zone]] or [[Pendulum Zone]]. Sometimes the card text for Pendulum Monsters will be blank and sometimes the Monster Effect will be shown instead. This occur and documented in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 4.02a_v119a (ver. 119a for Android/ver. 2.100 for iOS).<br />
* If a card with a long text is activated, the text in the prompt to confirm the activation is shown outside the prompt. This occur and documented in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 3.8a_v106a (ver. 106a for Android/ver. 2.010 for iOS).<br />
* If the player uses the effect of "[[Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susanowo]]" to target a [[Field Spell Card|Field Spell]] in the opponent's Graveyard, the game will crash as the card is being placed onto the opponent's [[Field Zone]] instead of the player's. This occur in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS).<br />
* If the player uses a monster with a [[ATK]] that is higher than the [[Xyz Monster]] as [[Xyz Material]], the monster with the highest ATK will sometime be on top of the Xyz Monster instead. This causes the game function and prompt for the Xyz Monster like the activation of its effect, attacks, look at its Material(s) and switches battle position to not work. So far, the effect that would work is if the Xyz Monster has the text "During each of your End Phases: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card.". Furthermore, cards that increases ATK like [[Field Spell Card]] or [[Continuous Spell Card]] will sometime affect the monster that is being used as Material. The only solution toward this problem is to detach the monster with the higher ATK before the bug occurred. This occur and documented in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS).<br />
* If the player use a card that prevent themselves from drawing for the rest of the turn and has a another copies of the card in the Graveyard, then when the player was to draw a card, multiple copies of the card will be shown and activated, instead of one copy. This occur and documented in version 2.28a_v97a (ver. 97a for Android/ver 2.000 for iOS).<br />
* If the player is Dueling in a two out of three match, the second match would always featured a inaccurate Deck count. Furthermore, if the player in the previous match has a lower count than the opponent, then in the next match, the opponent would start with a inaccurate count. Though if both players have a one to two card difference in the previous match, then in the next match, both players will start with an inaccurate count. Also, if the player was to surrender the Duel, then the player who surrender will have the inaccurate Deck count. This bug is easily fixed whenever the Deck is shuffled. This occur and documented in version 3.18a_v116a (ver. 116a for Android/ver. 2.020 for iOS).<br />
* If the player was to tap/use a Pendulum Monster(s) with no [[Pendulum Effect]], the game will crashed. So far, the cards are "[[Flash Knight]]", "[[Mandragon]]", "[[Performapal Trump Girl]]", "[[Steel Cavalry of Dinon]]" and the "[[Majespecter]]" Pendulum Monsters. Furthermore, if the player was to Duel a Duelist with a certain Decklists that used a Pendulum Monster(s) with no Pendulum Effect in Campaign Mode, the Duel would be render unplayable as the game will crashed. These Duelists are [[Dennis McField (Duel Generation)|Dennis McField]] (Majespecter) and [[Yuya Sakaki (Duel Generation)|Yuya Sasaki]] (Performapal/Odd-Eyes: "Performapal Trump Girl"). Also, if the player were to taps on these cards in Deck Editor, the game will crashed. This occurs and documented in version 4.02a_v119a (ver. 119a for Android/ver. 2.100 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 4.04a_v121a (ver. 121a for Android/ver. 2.200 for iOS).<br />
* If a Xyz Monster was Xyz Summoned using only Pendulum Monsters as an Xyz Material, then the game will crashed as soon as the Xyz Summoned monster is placed onto the field. This occur and documented in version 4.02a_v119a (ver. 119a for Android/ver. 2.100 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 4.04a_v121a (ver. 121a for Android/ver. 2.200 for iOS).<br />
* If a non-Pendulum Monster was [[Tribute Summon]]ed/[[Tribute Set|Set]] using only the face-up Pendulum Monster on the [[Monster Zone]] as [[Tribute]], then the game will crashed as soon as the Tribute Summoned/Set non-Pendulum Monster is placed onto the field. This occur and documented in version 4.02a_v119a (ver. 119a for Android/ver. 2.100 for iOS). This bug was fixed in version 4.04a_v121a (ver. 121a for Android/ver. 2.200 for iOS).<br />

[[File:BlueEyesWhiteDragon-RDKP01-JP-OP.png|thumb|right|"[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Rush Duel)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", the first released Legend Card]]<br />
A '''Legend Card''' (レジェンドカード ''Rejendo Kādo'') is a type of card exclusive to ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel]]''. Legend Cards are indicated by the icon [[File:Legend Icon.png|x18px|Legend Icon]].<br />
<br />
Up to 1 Legend Card of each card type ([[Monster Card|Monster]], [[Spell Card|Spell]], and [[Trap Card|Trap]]) can be included in the same Deck.<ref name="YGOrg 10-31-22">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/rush-duel-change-to-how-legends-work/ | title = <nowiki>[RUSH DUEL] Change To How Legends Work</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | website = The Organization | date = October 31, 2022 | accessdate = October 31, 2022}}</ref> Prior to January 1, 2023, only a single Legend Card (regardless of card type) could be included in a Deck.<ref name="YGOrg 3-6-20">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/thatfeelwhennoblueeyesultimategirlfriend/ | title = <nowiki>[Rush Duels] Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Legend Cards</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | website = The Organization | date = March 6, 2020 | accessdate = October 31, 2022}}</ref><br />
<br />
So far, all Legend Cards are ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'' cards imported to the ''Rush Duel'' format. They usually have too-powerful effects, or excessively high [[ATK]] and/or [[DEF]] for their [[Level]]s, relative to other ''Rush Duel'' cards, though some of them receive specific [[support]] in exchange of the limitation.<br />
<br />
== Legend Icon ==<br />
Legend Cards are indicated by the Legend Icon (「{{Ruby|LEGEND|レジェンド}}」アイコン) [[File:Legend Icon.png|x18px|Legend Icon]].<ref>{{cite web |title=あそび方 |url=https://www.konami.com/yugioh/rushduel/howto/ |website=Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel |publisher=Konami |access-date=17 September 2022 |language=ja}}</ref> It is printed on the top left corner of the card's artwork. Normally, the icon is golden in color, but can be other colors depending on the card's rarity; [[Secret Rare]] cards have a silver icon, while [[colorful rare]]s have icons in a matching color.<br />
<br />
== Distribution ==<br />
Most Legend Cards are included as high-rarity pulls from booster packs. ''[[Deck Mod Pack]]s'' always introduce a new Legend Monster Card each set, while side sets (such as the ''[[Maximum Ultra Pack]]s'') always introduce 2 new Legend Spells/Traps each. So far, all Legends included in ''Deck Mod Packs'' have been [[Rush Rare]]s, with later sets also including them in [[Secret Rare]]; Legends in side sets have all been Secret Rares. Certain preconstructed decks have also introduced a handful of new Legend Cards in the form of randomized bonus card pools (for example, the ''[[Strongest Battle Deck +1 Bonus Card]]''). Additionally, Legend Cards have also been introduced or reprinted as promotional cards in varying rarities.<br />
<br />
== Appearance in media ==<br />
===Anime===<br />
In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' anime, cards that appear as Legend Cards in the real-life game lack the Legend Icon. However, no Duelist (with the sole exception of [[Nomura|Nomurandamas]])<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|18|ref}}</ref> has used more than 1 Legend Card during a Rush Duel, though some Duelists have used multiple different Legend Cards across different Duels. As a reference to the real-life mechanic, characters sometimes mention these cards to be "legendary" in-universe.<ref name="ep1">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|1|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep56">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|56|ref}}</ref><br />
===Manga===<br />
Much like in the anime, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS Luke! Explosive Supremacy Legend!!]]'', cards that appear as Legend Cards in the real-life game lack the Legend Icon. However, as both ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' and''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel LP]]'' use the same card layout as the real-life Rush Duel cards, Legend cards that appear in the manga do include the Legend icon.<br />

"'''Lightning Storm'''", known as "'''The AI Crosses the Line'''" in the Japanese version, is the ninety-eighth episode of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'' anime. It first aired in Japan on April 17, 2019, and aired in Canada on December 20, 2020.<br />
<br />
{{Episode summary|[[Lightning]] uses [[Jin Kolter|Jin]] as a hostage to rattle [[Roken Kogami|Varis]]. However, [[Bohman]], who is very disappointed in Lightning's actions, decides to step in. Now that his stratagem has failed, Lightning reveals a shocking truth about Dr. [[Kiyoshi Kogami]] to Varis, who's covered in wounds... Their fierce Duel finally reaches its conclusion!!}}<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
The "[[Attack and effect names in Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|Thunder Borrel Cannon]]" attack of "[[Borreload Dragon (anime)|Borreload Dragon]]" builds in its cannon as it and "[[Borreload eXcharge Dragon (anime)|Borreload eXcharge Dragon]]" oppose the "[[Estrangement Dragon]]" that [[Roken Kogami|Varis]] Summoned to [[Lightning]]'s field, while the relinquished [[Jin Kolter|Jin]] watches in fear. The score stands with Varis on 2000 [[LP]] and Lightning on 1500 as [[Yusaku Fujiki|Playmaker]] whispers Varis's name (in the dub, Lightning asks if Varis will attack and sacrifice Jin, and Varis asks if Lightning thinks he cares about Jin's existence, much to Playmaker's shock). [[Ai]] protests that this is dirty, but Lightning claims that he's showing them how to use a hostage. He comments that it was the right decision not to end Jin earlier (in the dub Ai snaps that it's the definition of cheating), and as [[Bohman]] watches with disapproval Lightning adds that he's also linked himself to [[Spectre]]'s consciousness data, so if Varis defeats him then Spectre will vanish as well. He asks if they don't think this is the appropriate way to use weaklings, and when Varis doesn't respond Lightning asks him what's wrong, since he was previously fine having many innocent victims if it meant killing the [[Ignis]]. His strategy was to kill the few so the many could live, so he doesn't need to hesitate, and he tells Varis to do it (in the dub, Lightning comments that it's odd how a change in circumstances can alter his game, and he asks again if Varis will attack). Varis snarls at Lightning not to underestimate him, and he begins to order the attack of "Borreload Dragon", but Playmaker begs him not to do it. Varis grits his teeth and looks over to Playmaker, who protests that if Varis attacks, he'll revert back to how he used to be. They've come this far together because Varis has changed (in the dub, Playmaker acknowledges that Lightning must be stopped, but not by sacrificing Jin and Spectre). Varis closes his eyes and he states that they came to [[Mirror LINK VRAINS]] prepared to make sacrifices (he specifies Spectre in the dub). Playmaker agrees that they did, and Varis points out that this was why Playmaker defeated [[Cal Kolter]]. Playmaker is briefly stunned by the statement, but he replies that Kolter was willing to make that sacrifice, but not Jin. He was dragged into the [[Hanoi Project|Lost Incident]], and into this war as well. He hasn't done anything wrong (in the dub, Playmaker also specifies that Kolter sacrificed himself to save Jin). Jin trembles in fear as Playmaker asks if Varis wants to end the life of another victim of the Lost Incident. Varis narrows his eyes as Playmaker insists that Varis has changed; he chose not to Duel [[Theodore Hamilton|Soulburner]] earlier. Varis whispers "Back then..." as he recalls Soulburner's rage against him. Lightning bursts out laughing, commenting that humans certainly are funny. His enemy Playmaker is trying to save his life. Playmaker furiously insists that he isn't trying to save Lightning, but if he abandons Jin and Spectre, that means they've truly lost (in the dub, he states that just because they have mistakenly got into this mess, there's always a way out of it). <br />
<br />
[[File:Lightning_tormented_Jin_with_nightmares_during_his_imprisonment.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Lightning]] tormented [[Jin Kolter|Jin]] with nightmares during his imprisonment.]]<br />
Lightning admits that's true; nothing would be sadder were Jin to vanish now (in the dub he claims that this mistake is all of his design). Playmaker asks "What?" in shock, and Lightning explains that back during the Lost Incident he already knew how to invade the network, and while Jin's fear was pathetic, Lightning continued to access him, and he learned how to terrify people. Playmaker stares a Lightning in fury and Lightning remarks that Jin truly entertained him. After Jin was electrocuted for losing a Duel, and just as he would regain consciousness, Lightning would show him an illusion that help had arrived and that he could escape, but the moment Jin felt safe, Lightning would drop him into a pit of terror, recounting transforming the rescue workers into skeletons that caused Jin to begin crying and raging. He laughs highly, but admits that he tormented Jin a bit too much and completely broke his spirit (in the dub he claims that his torture was so severe that Jin didn't believe he had eventually been freed, and still doesn't). Varis snarls that Lightning is an evil error program that shouldn't exist in this world, and he vows to completely bury him. Bohman watches as Lightning replies that Varis should attack if he really means that, that is, if he can destroy these foolish humans. Varis spoke of free will and how the Ignis were spineless, so he should show him what he's willing to do. (In the dub, Varis angrily asks why Lightning would torture Jin, and Lightning claims that logically it was for control, but in truth it was to bring events to this moment, and he whimsically comments that Varis has the choice to attack him now and erase Jin, or abstain and lose his only chance to win the Duel, ordering him to decide. The dub repeats this scene after commercial, with Lightning emphasizing that Varis will erase Jin and Spectre if he attacks.)<br />
<br />
Varis [[Set]]s a card, ending his turn. As his turn ended, the effect of the Special Summoned "Estrangement Dragon" sends it to the [[Graveyard]]. Lightning bursts out laughing; now that Varis has made new allies and begun walking the path of justice, he's no longer willing to go as far as he would in the past. Now what should Lightning do with Varis now? (In the dub, Lightning claims this makes Varis inferior to an Ignis.) On Roken's speedboat, [[Baira|Klarissa]] seethes at Lightning's cheating, while in [[Café Nom]] [[Faust|Alec]] notes that previously Varis wouldn't have hesitated to make his decision. [[Dr. Genome]] notes that now Varis is unsure and the [[LIGHT|Light]] Ignis realized that. Alec declares that they created a terror. (In the dub, Genome comments that it seems Varis has a new way of Dueling now, and Alec hopes that Varis knows what he's doing for all their sakes.)<br />

Lightning declares that this will end Varis, and he declares his turn, but before he can draw Bohman tells him to wait (and in the dub, Lightning is incensed that Bohman told him to stop). Bohman warns Lightning that he hold him he wouldn't let him use any more dirty tricks. Lightning begins to protest, but Bohman looks away in disgust and states that he can't stand what Lightning is doing. Soulburner was a fair Duelist, but [[Windy]] - no, Lightning - spoiled that Duel. Bohman is disappointed in Lightning, and he won't let that kind of Duel happen again. Lightning protests again, but Bohman declares that he'll hold onto Jin and Spectre's consciousness data, and he raises a glowing hand. Yellow data fragments emerge from Lightning's body as he groans in discomfort, much to Varis and Playmaker's surprise. Ai asks if Bohman and Lightning are having a falling out as Lightning tries to resist, but he is unsuccessful; Bohman telling Lightning that his program can no longer meddle with Bohman's. Lightning growls as Jin's Avatar is transformed back into its robed form and Bohman lowers his hand, declaring that there are no more hostages and ordering Lightning to defeat Varis with his own skills. Lightning growls in anger (in the dub, he angrily thanks Bohman for his belief that he can defeat Varis), but Bohman ignores him and tells Varis to continue the Duel without any distress. Varis replies that he won't thank Bohman, who smiles and he replies that he knows.<br />
<br />
[[File:Even_with_the_effect_of_Borreload_Dragon_the_ATK_of_Varis's_Borreloads_will_still_be_too_low.png|thumb|left|250px|Even with the effect of "[[Borreload Dragon (anime)|Borreload Dragon]]", the [[ATK]] of [[Roken Kogami|Varis]]'s "[[Borrel]]oads" will still be too low.]]<br />
Lightning clenches his fist and he furiously vows to crush Varis with power instead. Varis warns Lightning that he will never forgive him (in the dub, he tells Lightning that he will be the winner instead), and Lightning declares his turn and draws. He Summons "[[Armatos Legio Sica]]", the [[Summon chants in Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|chants]] "Appear! The circuit that guides the light!" and declares that the Summoning condition is one [[Level 4 Monster Cards|Level 4]] or lower "[[Armatos Legio]]" monster, [[Link Material|setting]] "Sica" to [[Link Summon]] the [[Link 1 Monster Cards|Link-1]] "[[Armatos Legio Decurion]]". Then Lightning activates the [[Spell Card]] "[[Armatos Fulgur]]", [[Tribute|Tributing]] an "Armatos Legio" [[Link Monster]] to [[Special Summon]] a different one from his [[Extra Deck]], but with the same [[Link Rating]]. He Tributes "Decurion" to Special Summon "[[Armatos Legio Eques Flamma]]", and then he activates the effect of the [[Link Spell Card]] "[[Armatos Legio Plumbum Trident]]", returning a Link Monster in his [[Graveyard]] to the Extra Deck, then Special Summoning an "Armatos Legio" monster to a zone that "Plumbum Trident" points to. Returning "Decurion" to the Extra Deck, Lightning revives "[[Armatos Legio Magnus Dux]]". Varis scowls that "Magnus Dux" was resurrected again, and Lightning notes that the effect of "Borreload Dragon" will reduce the [[ATK]] of "Magnus Dux" by 500, but then the effect of "[[Judgment Arrows]]" will raise "Magnus Dux" to 5000 ATK. Both of Varis's "Borreloads" have 3000 ATK and Varis has 2000 LP, so Varis will be brought down to exactly zero.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lightning_conducting_the_simulations_in_the_Cyberse.png|thumb|250px|Lightning conducting the simulations in the [[Cyberse (world)|Cyberse]].]]<br />
Lightning asks Varis to allow him to tell him something good before he's gone, and unlike Varis, he'll get straight to the point. Varis shortly asks Lightning what he's talking about, and Lightning explains that he wants to tell him something about his father, Dr. Kogami. There's something about him that Varis has misunderstood. Varis gasps "What?" in shock, and Lightning explains that Varis thinks that [[SOL Technologies]] infected Kogami with a computer virus - but that isn't true. After the Lost Incident, the Ignis built the Cyberse within the network, and this created Data Material, assisting SOL Technologies greatly. Back then Lightning ran the simulations that Varis mentioned, but strangely Dr. Kogami ran one himself on the future of the Ignis that determined that the Ignis would become the enemy of mankind, and had Kogami run more he would have eventually discovered Lightning to be the cause. So Lightning took the initiative and eliminated that problem - ''he'' was the one who implanted the computer virus in Dr. Kogami.<br />
<br />
[[File:Dr_Kogami_arguing_with_SOL_Technologies.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Kiyoshi Kogami|Dr. Kogami]] arguing with [[SOL Technologies]].]]<br />
Varis cries "What?!" in horror, and Lightning notes that SOL Technologies were unwilling to take responsibility for the Lost Incident and confined Kogami, and since they were both in the same company, Lightning got to him through the server. Fortunately, Kogami had complained to [[Kings (VRAINS)|SOL's higher-ups]] about the danger of the Ignis and thus they were already at odds. Lightning didn't expect Varis to resurrect Kogami within the network, but when he did Kogami believed SOL Technologies to be responsible for implanting the virus within him. (In the dub, Lightning further taunts Varis over thinking that SOL Technologies infected his father and claiming that Varis only has himself to blame). Klarissa, Alec and Genome watch furiously as Playmaker realizes that Lightning was the one who created the virus, and Ai notes that's why it's such a powerful program. Thanks to that, Lightning was able to get plenty of time to build his new trump card - Bohman. Varis seethes that Lightning is the one who hurt his father, and Genome blanches as he realizes that the Knights of Hanoi made a huge misunderstanding. Alec growls that their revenge should have been against the Light Ignis all along. Lightning comments that it was fun to see Varis fight with all his might, never realizing that his revenge should have been directed at Lightning. <br />
<br />
[[File:Varis_survives_Lightning's_attack.png|thumb|250px|Varis survives Lightning's [[attack]].]]<br />
Varis clenches his fist as Lightning tells him that he'll send him to meet Kogami, and declares his [[Battle Phase]]. Energy begins building in the cannons mounted on "Magnus Dux" as Lightning orders it to attack "Borreload eXcharge Dragon". Varis activates the effect of "Borreload Dragon" in response, reducing the ATK and [[DEF]] of a monster Lightning controls by 500, and Lightning will be unable to activate his own effects in response. "Borreload Dragon" blasts a stream of energy from its maw, reducing the ATK of "Magnus Dux" to 2500. Ai protests that the ATK of "Magnus Dux" will be doubled due to "Judgment Arrows", so Varis will lose if the attack succeeds. Varis then activates a [[Continuous Trap Card]], "[[Borrel Ring]]", allowing him to [[Tribute]] a "[[Borrel]]" Link Monster to place [[counter]]s on it equal to its Link Rating. He Tributes the Link-4 "Borreload Dragon", thus placing four counters, and then he removes one as his monster is being attacked, preventing his monster's destruction and reducing the ATK of the attacking monster by 100 for each counter until the end of the turn. With three counters remaining, "Magnus Dux" falls to 2200 ATK as Playmaker observes, and Lightning wearily notes that Varis lowered the ATK of "Magnus Dux" even more (in the dub he calls it a last ditch-effort on Varis's part), but then declares the effect of "Judgment Arrows", noting that Varis will still take the damage as the ATK of "Magnus Dux" doubles to 4400. It fires its cannons, blasting "Borreload eXcharge Dragon", but only reducing Varis to 600 LP. Lightning ends his turn, and Varis comments that he wasn't able to finish him off. Lightning points out that Varis only has 600 LP left, so no matter what Varis tries he'll lose if Lightning's attack next turn succeeds. Varis sharply asks why Lightning doesn't just accept the fact that he knows he will lose before his next turn comes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Once_again_Varis_activates_the_effect_of_Borreload_eXcharge_Dragon.png|thumb|left|250px|Once again, Varis [[activate]]s the [[effect]] of "[[Borreload eXcharge Dragon (anime)|Borreload eXcharge Dragon]]".]]<br />
Lightning is infuriated by Varis's claim, and Ai is shocked that Varis can turn the Duel around. Playmaker reminds him that "Borreload eXcharge Dragon" still has one more [[Xyz Material|Overlay Unit]] left, and Ai realizes that Varis will be able to win if the attack he attempted last turn succeeds this turn (in the dub, they do not discuss this, merely Varis's confidence in his claim). Varis declares his turn and draws, activating the effect of "Borreload eXcharge Dragon"; detaching an Overlay Unit to reduce the ATK of a monster by 600. He declares "Enemy Negation Blasting Charge" and "Borreload eXcharge Dragon" blasts a purple beam of energy from its maw, lowering the ATK of "Magnus Dux" to 1900 again. Then Varis can Special Summon a "Borrel" monster from his Graveyard, and he orders "Borreload Dragon" to revive. He declares his Battle Phase, ordering "Borreload eXcharge Dragon" to attack "Magnus Dux". "Borreload eXcharge Dragon" opens its wing cannons and projects its double-barreled maw cannon and at Varis's command it opens fire. Varis then activates the "Enemy Negation" effect of "Borreload Dragon", which blasts an orange beam from its maw again, reducing "Magnus Dux" to 1400 ATK. Ai cheers that now even if the ATK of "Magnus Dux" is doubled due to "Judgment Arrows", "Borreload eXcharge Dragon" will still have more ATK. Playmaker notes that Lightning will lose 200 LP if this attack succeeds and if the attack of "Borreload Dragon" destroys "Eques Flamma", Lightning's LP will be reduced to zero.<br />
<br />
Lightning clenches his fist in fury, and instead of using the effect of "Judgment Arrows", he instead activates the effect of "Magnus Dux"; for every monster that is [[co-link]]ed to "Magnus Dux" he can return a card from the field or Graveyard to the hand, and he returns the Continuous Trap Card "[[Armatos Gloria]]" to his hand. This activates the effect of "Armatos Gloria" since it was targeted by an effect while it was in his [[Spell & Trap Zone]], destroying all monsters he controls. "Eques Flamma and "Magnus Dux" both explode, and Lightning then activates the effect of "Eques Flamma" as a card effect destroyed it while it was co-linked, inflicting damage to them equal to the original ATK of the monster that was co-linked to it.<br />
<br />
[[File:Varis_is_defeated.png|thumb|250px|Varis is defeated.]]<br />
Varis cries "What?!" in shock, and Lightning vows that he won't lose; he, an Ignis that transcends humanity, can't lose to someone like Varis (in the dub he snarls that he refuses to lose to any human, even if it requires him sacrificing himself). "Eques Flamma" flings its ordnance ball into the air and it detonates, reducing Varis's LP to zero and blasting him off his feet, while blasting Lightning away as well. Klarissa leaps out of her seat, screaming Varis's name, and Genome is horrified that Varis was defeated. Alec grits his teeth; noting that the Light Ignis destroyed itself to get a tie. <br />
<br />
[[File:Varis's_data_is_erased_as_he_calls_Ai_by_name_for_the_first_time.png|thumb|left|250px|Varis's data is erased as he calls [[Ai]] by name for the first time.]]<br />
As the smoke clears around Varis, Playmaker runs to him, calling his name and begging him to pull himself together. Varis weakly admits that he didn't expect the Light Ignis to destroy itself and that he let his guard down (in the dub, he notes how odd Lightning's move was after attempting to survive for so long). Ai tells Varis that he did well, and Varis smiles, admitting that when he was young he'd lie down in a field of flowers and look up at the sky just as he is now (in the dub, Varis admits his surprise that an Ignis is trying to cheer him up). His visor cracked, Varis looks up at the sky and admits that he's reminded of those times. Roken recalls that he had no troubles back then; he was just excited about the world that spread before his eyes. His Avatar turns green, and Varis admits that he's leaving now, and he reaches towards Playmaker and Ai, telling him that he's leaving the rest to them before disintegrating into green data fragments that scatter into green petals. Playmaker gasps and Ai whispers that Varis called him by his name. Klarissa begins to sob, while Alec and Genome can only watch in shock.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lightning_survives_the_Duel_with_a_single_LP.png|thumb|250px|Lightning survives the [[Duel]] with a single [[LP]].]]<br />
Ai then asks what happened to Lightning, and he and Playmaker turn towards where Lightning was standing (in the dub, Ai gasps that this means that only Bohman is left, but then he is proven wrong by Lightning's voice). Jin's Avatar has vanished, and only Bohman stands before them - but Lightning is crawling wearily through the flowers, and he chokes that he's still alive - he has 1 LP left. Playmaker gasps "What?!" in shock, and Ai asks why only Lightning survived. As Lightning crawls, Bohman sharply says his name and as Lightning looks up, Bohman observes that Lightning didn't relinquish all of Jin's consciousness data and converted it into extra LP. Lightning confirms that he did, weakly claiming that he'll do anything to win, as this is his mission. But he falters, and he tells Bohman that he'll give him everything, reaching towards Bohman and begging him to show Lightning mercy (in the dub, Lightning actually asks for Bohman to share his energy with him to heal him after he gave Bohman life). Bohman sharply tells Lightning that he caused chaos by deceiving everyone with his wicked ideas, much to Lightning's horror.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bohman_absorbs_Lightning's_data.png|thumb|left|250px|Bohman absorbs Lightning's data.]]<br />
But Bohman notes that everything Lightning did, he did to live; in that way he may have been the most human among the Ignis. He kneels down and stretches his hand out to Lightning, declaring that he will accept everything (in the dub, Bohman refuses to give Lightning his energy, both due to his treachery and because Lightning cannot create the perfect world, while Bohman can, so Lightning giving him his energy instead is the logical choice). Lightning is shocked by Bohman's gesture, and he wearily tells Bohman that he is giving his soul to him (in the dub, Lightning resigns himself to his fate). As he reaches forward his body begins to glow, and he barely manages to grasp Bohman's finger before disintegrating into yellow shards of data. The data flows into Bohman's hand, and the symbol of LIGHT glows on Bohman's back, followed by the symbols of [[FIRE]], [[WATER]], [[EARTH]] and [[WIND]]. Playmaker observes that Lightning gave himself to Bohman, and Ai grimly adds that now Bohman has acquired five [[Attribute]]s (in the dub, he gasps that he's the only one left as well). Bohman stands up and he declares that the stage is set and he has completed his training, and he tells Playmaker to accept his Duel. Playmaker agrees, telling Bohman that it's the final fight.<br />
<br />
==Featured Duel: Varis vs Lightning==<br />
{{Duelprev|Featured Duel: Varis vs Lightning}}<br />
<br />
Varis has 2000 [[LP]] and controls "[[Borreload eXcharge Dragon (anime)|Borreload eXcharge Dragon]]" (3000/2500, 1 ORU) in the [[Extra Monster Zone]], and "[[Borreload Dragon (anime)|Borreload Dragon]]" (3000/←↙↘→) in his [[Main Monster Zone]], as well as "[[Boot Sector Launch (later anime)|Boot Sector Launch]]" in his [[Field Zone]]. Lightning has 1500 LP and controls "[[Estrangement Dragon]]" (1500/1500) in [[Attack Position]], as well as "[[Judgment Arrows]]" (↖↑↗), "[[Armatos Legio Plumbum Trident]]" (as a [[Link Spell]] (↖↑↗)) and "[[Armatos Gloria]]" in his [[Spell & Trap Zone]]s,and "[[Armatos Colosseum]]" in his Field Zone.<br />
<br />
'''<u>Turn 4: Varis</u>'''<br /><br />
As [[Lightning]] is holding [[Jin Kolter|Jin]] hostage, [[Roken Kogami|Varis]] chooses not to continue attacking. Varis [[Set]]s a card. During the End Phase, since it was [[Special Summon]]ed, the "[[Estrangement Dragon]]" that Lightning [[control]]s is sent to the [[GY]] due to its own effect.<br />
<br />
Before Lightning begins his turn, [[Bohman]] absorbs the data of Jin and [[Spectre]] from Lightning into himself, releasing Lightning's hostage.<br />
<br />
'''<u>Turn 5: Lightning</u>'''<br /><br />
Lightning [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Armatos Legio Sica]]" (0/400). Lightning sets "Sica" (a [[Level]] 4 or lower "[[Armatos Legio]]" monster) in the [[Link Arrow]]s to [[Link Summon]] "[[Armatos Legio Decurion]]" (1000/↓). Lightning activates "[[Armatos Fulgur]]", [[Tribute|Tributing]] 1 "Armatos Legio" [[Link Monster]] he controls to [[Special Summon]] 1 [[Link Monster]] from his [[Extra Deck]] with the same [[Link Rating]] but a different name, however while it is on the field, he cannot Link Summon. Lightning Tributes the Link-1 "Decurion" to [[Special Summon]] the Link-1 "[[Armatos Legio Eques Flamma]]" (800/←). Lightning activates the effect of the [[Link Spell]] "[[Armatos Legio Plumbum Trident]]" as it is in his [[Spell & Trap Zone]] by its own effect, returning 1 Link Monster from his GY to his Extra Deck, then Special Summoning 1 "Armatos Legio" Link Monster from his GY to a [[Main Monster Zone]] "Plumbum Trident" points to. Lightning returns "Decurion" from his GY to his Extra Deck and Special Summons "[[Armatos Legio Magnus Dux]]" (3000/↑←↓→) from his GY to the Main Monster Zone the Top-Right Link Arrow of "Plumbum Trident" and the Top-Center Link Arrow of "[[Judgment Arrows]]" point to so that it is co-linked with "Eques Flamma".<br />
<br />
"Magnus Dux" attacks "[[Borreload eXcharge Dragon (anime)|Borreload eXcharge Dragon]]". Varis activates the effect of "[[Borreload Dragon (anime)|Borreload Dragon]]", targeting 1 other [[face-up]] monster on the field and reducing its [[ATK]]/[[DEF]] by 500, with Lightning being unable to activate cards or effects in response to the effect's activation. He targets "Magnus Dux" ("Magnus Dux": 3000 → 2500 ATK). Varis activates his [[Continuous Trap]] "[[Borrel Ring]]", Tributing a "[[Borrel]]" Link Monster he controls and placing counters on "Borrel Ring" equal to the Tributed monster's Link Rating. Varis Tributes the Link-4 "Borreload Dragon" ("Borrel Ring": 0 → 4 counters). Varis activates the effect of "Borrel Ring": once per attack, when a monster he controls is targeted for an attack, he can remove 1 of these counters from "Borrel Ring" to prevent the monster he controls from being destroyed by that battle, and the opponent's attacking monster loses 100 ATK for each of these counters on "Borrel Ring" until the [[End Phase]] ("Borrel Ring": 4 → 3 counters) ("Magnus Dux": 2500 → 2200 ATK). As a Link Monster it points to is battling, the effect of "[[Judgment Arrows]]" activates, doubling the ATK of that monster during [[damage calculation]] only ("Magnus Dux": 2200 → 4400 ATK). "Magnus Dux" attacks "Borreload eXcharge Dragon", which isn't destroyed due to the effect of "Borrel Ring" (Varis: 2000 → 600 [[LP]]).<br />
<br />
'''<u>Turn 6: Varis</u>'''<br /><br />
Varis activates the effect of "Borreload Xcharge Dragon", detaching an [[Xyz Material|Overlay Unit]] ("Borreload eXcharge Dragon: 1 → 0 ORU) to target 1 face-up monster on the field and reduce its ATK/DEF by 600, then he can Special Summon 1 "[[Borrel]]" monster from his GY, but for the rest of the turn, Varis cannot Special Summon monsters or attack [[direct attack|directly]]. He targets "Magnus Dux" on the field ("Magnus Dux": 2500 → 1900 ATK) and Special Summons "Borreload Dragon" (3000 ATK/←↙↘→) from his GY. "Borreload eXcharge Dragon" attacks "Magnus Dux". Varis activates the effect of "Borreload Dragon", targeting "Magnus Dux" and reducing its ATK/DEF by 500, with Lightning being unable to activate cards or effects in response to this effect's activation ("Magnus Dux": 1900 → 1400 ATK). Lightning activates the effect of "Magnus Dux", targeting cards on the field and/or in the GYs up to the number of monsters it is [[co-linked]] with, and returning them to the hand. Lightning targets "[[Armatos Gloria]]". As it was targeted by a card or effect in the Spell & Trap Zone, the effect of "Armatos Gloria" activates, destroying all monsters Lightning controls. As "Eques Flamma" was destroyed on the field while it was co-linked, Lightning activates its effect, inflicting damage to both players equal to the original ATK of the Link Monster it was co-linked to. "Magnus Dux" had 3000 original ATK. However before the Duel ends, Lightning converts the remainder of Jin's consciousness data in himself into additional LP (Varis: 600 → 0 LP), (Lightning: 1500 → 3001 → 1 LP).<br />

[[File:BlueEyesWhiteDragon-RDKP01-JP-OP.png|thumb|right|"[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Rush Duel)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", the first released Legend Card]]<br />
A '''Legend Card''' (レジェンドカード ''Rejendo Kādo'') is a type of card exclusive to ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel]]''. Legend Cards are indicated by the icon [[File:Legend Icon.png|x18px|Legend Icon]].<br />
<br />
Up to 1 Legend Card of each card type ([[Monster Card|Monster]], [[Spell Card|Spell]], and [[Trap Card|Trap]]) can be included in the same Deck.<ref name="YGOrg 10-31-22">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/rush-duel-change-to-how-legends-work/ | title = <nowiki>[RUSH DUEL] Change To How Legends Work</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | website = The Organization | date = October 31, 2022 | accessdate = October 31, 2022}}</ref> Prior to January 1, 2023, only a single Legend Card (regardless of card type) could be included in a Deck.<ref name="YGOrg 3-6-20">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/thatfeelwhennoblueeyesultimategirlfriend/ | title = <nowiki>[Rush Duels] Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Legend Cards</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | website = The Organization | date = March 6, 2020 | accessdate = October 31, 2022}}</ref><br />
<br />
So far, all Legend Cards are ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'' cards imported to the ''Rush Duel'' format. They usually have too-powerful effects, or excessively high [[ATK]] and/or [[DEF]] for their [[Level]]s, relative to other ''Rush Duel'' cards, though some of them receive specific [[support]] in exchange of the limitation.<br />
<br />
== Legend Icon ==<br />
Legend Cards are indicated by the Legend Icon (「{{Ruby|LEGEND|レジェンド}}」アイコン) [[File:Legend Icon.png|x18px|Legend Icon]].<ref>{{cite web |title=あそび方 |url=https://www.konami.com/yugioh/rushduel/howto/ |website=Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel |publisher=Konami |access-date=17 September 2022 |language=ja}}</ref> It is printed on the top left corner of the card's artwork. Normally, the icon is golden in color, but can be other colors depending on the card's rarity; [[Secret Rare]] cards have a silver icon, while [[colorful rare]]s have icons in a matching color.<br />
<br />
== Distribution ==<br />
Most Legend Cards are included as high-rarity pulls from booster packs. ''[[Deck Mod Pack]]s'' always introduce a new Legend Monster Card each set, while side sets (such as the ''[[Maximum Ultra Pack]]s'') always introduce 2 new Legend Spells/Traps each. So far, all Legends included in ''Deck Mod Packs'' have been [[Rush Rare]]s, with later sets also including them in [[Secret Rare]]; Legends in side sets have all been Secret Rares. Certain preconstructed decks have also introduced a handful of new Legend Cards in the form of randomized bonus card pools (for example, the ''[[Strongest Battle Deck +1 Bonus Card]]''). Additionally, Legend Cards have also been introduced or reprinted as promotional cards in varying rarities.<br />
<br />
== Appearance in media ==<br />
===Anime===<br />
In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' anime, cards that appear as Legend Cards in the real-life game lack the Legend Icon. However, no Duelist (with the sole exception of [[Nomura|Nomurandamas]])<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|18|ref}}</ref> has used more than 1 Legend Card during a Rush Duel, though some Duelists have used multiple different Legend Cards across different Duels. As a reference to the real-life mechanic, characters sometimes mention these cards to be "legendary" in-universe.<ref name="ep1">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|1|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep56">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|56|ref}}</ref><br />
===Manga===<br />
Much like in the anime, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS Luke! Explosive Supremacy Legend!!]]'', cards that appear as Legend Cards in the real-life game lack the Legend Icon. However, as ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' uses the same card layout as the real-life Rush Duel cards, Legend cards that appear in the manga do include the Legend icon.<br />

* This card is a [[retrained]] [[counterpart]] of "[[Jinzo]]".<br />
<br />
* This card's effects are based on various traits of "[[Jinzo (anime)|Jinzo]]" from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' manga and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|anime]].<br />
** This card's effect that changes its [[Level]] from 7 to 6 is based on the fact that "[[Jinzo (manga)|Jinzo]]" was Level 7 in the manga, but is Level 6 in the anime and the ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]''.<br />
** This card's second effect is derived from the effect of "Jinzo" in the manga and anime, which allowed the player to [[destroy]] all [[Trap Card]]s (including [[face-down]] ones) in addition to [[negating]] their [[effects]].<br />
<br />
* This is the first ''OCG'' card released in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' era to be printed in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel]]''. Consequently, it is the first and currently only ''OCG'' import card that was released in the ''OCG'' after the debut of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel''.<br />
** This is also the most recent ''OCG'' card to have a ''Rush Duel'' version of it printed afterwards, having originally been released in the set ''[[Duelist Pack: Duelists of Gloom]]'' on May 30, 2020. <br />
*** It is also the card with the shortest gap between release dates of its ''OCG'' and ''Rush Duel'' versions (not counting the two "[[Amabie]]" [[Amabie (Rush Duel)|cards]], which were intentionally released on the same day for the [["Amabie-San" Present Campaign]]), with the ''Rush Duel'' version releasing in ''[[Transamu of Transcendence]]'' on February 10, 2024, around 3 years and 8 months after its ''OCG'' release.</div>Chadookhttps://yugipedia.com/index.php?title=Card_Trivia:Barrier_Statue_of_the_Inferno&diff=4966596Card Trivia:Barrier Statue of the Inferno2023-12-23T12:45:57Z<p>Chadook: Created page with "{{Navigation}} * This is the first Forbidden card in ''Yu-Gi-Oh!

'''''Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel''''' (遊戯王ラッシュデュエル ''Yūgiō Rasshu Dyueru'') is a ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' card game. ''Rush Duel'' rules are designed to be simplified versions of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game]]'' to better appeal to younger audiences.<br />

=== Overview ===<br />
[[File:RushDuelField.png|right|400px|A ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel'' field]]<br />
Being a derivative of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]'', ''Rush Duel'' shares similarities with it, with some notable alterations and additions. Differences that ''Rush Duel'' was advertised as having include:<br />
* Players can [[Normal Summon]]/[[Set]] as many monsters as they want in a single turn. [[Level 5 Monster Cards|Level 5]] and higher monsters still follow the same [[Tribute Summon]] requirements as the ''TCG/OCG''.<br />
* Players start the Duel with four cards in their hand. During their [[Draw Phase]], the turn player draws cards until they have five cards in their hand. If the player has five or more cards in their hand, they draw one card.<br />
** Players have no [[hand size limit]].<br />
** The player who goes first draws one card on the first turn.<br />
** If a player would draw, but lacks enough cards (e.g. the player has four or less cards in their Deck, and no cards in their hand during the Draw Phase), that player loses the Duel.<br />
* ''Rush Duel'' has a Monster Card type currently exclusive to it: [[Maximum Monster]]s, which are composed of three specific monsters that can be [[Maximum Summon]]ed as a single monster.<br />
<br />
Other rule differences include:<br />
* The field resembles that of [[Speed Duel]]s. Each player has 3 [[Monster Zone]]s, 3 [[Spell & Trap Zone]]s, and a [[Field Zone]] on their field. There is an [[Extra Deck Zone]], but no [[Pendulum Zone]]s or [[Extra Monster Zone]]s.<br />
* [[Spell Card]]s include [[Normal Spell Card]]s, [[Field Spell Card]]s, and [[Equip Spell Card]]s. The only [[Trap Card]]s are [[Normal Trap Card]]s.<br />
* [[Fusion Monster]]s appear; however their Japanese name is written with the English word "Fusion" (「フュージョン」 ''Fyūjon'') instead of the Japanese ''Yūgō'' (「{{Ruby|融|ゆう}}{{Ruby|合|ごう}}」). Additionally, the primary method of Fusion Summoning is through the Spell Card "[[Fusion (Rush Duel)|Fusion]]" instead of the usual "[[Polymerization]]", with "[[Polymerization (Rush Duel)|Polymerization]]" serving as a [[Legend Card]].<br />
** Some Fusion Monsters have new [[Type]]s not present in the ''TCG/OCG'', presented as "fusions" of the Types of their [[Fusion Material]]s. These Fusion Monsters can have [[Multi-Choice Effect]]s, allowing the player to choose between one of two bulleted effects (●) that have the same activation requirement.<br />
* [[Flip Summon]] does not exist, with imported ''OCG'' cards that mention them (such as "[[Trap Hole (Rush Duel)|Trap Hole]]") having the term retroactively removed from their card texts.<br />
* Monster effects on the field can be activated only once per turn while face-up on the field,<ref name="rushrules"/> similar to a card in the ''TCG/OCG'' stating "[[Once per turn]]". This also applies to [[Multi-Choice Effect]]s.<br />
* Card effects list [[activation condition]]s and [[cost]]s on a separate line (indicated by "[REQUIREMENT]") from the rest of the effect for easier understanding.<br />
* A card's [REQUIREMENT] and [EFFECT] are treated as being resolved simultaneously. If either the [REQUIREMENT] or [EFFECT] of the last used card meets the activation requirement of a Trap Card, that Trap can be activated without [[missing the timing]].<br />
** Summoning conditions as well as Fusion Materials are listed above [REQUIREMENT] and [EFFECT].<br />
** There are three types of monster effects; basic Effects, [[Continuous Effect]]s, and [[Multi-Choice Effect]]s; the type of monster effect is indicated by the card text. The basic Effects and Multi-Choice Effects function like [[Ignition Effect]]s in the ''TCG/OCG''.<br />
* [[Chain]]s do not occur. If two or more [[Trap Card]]s meet activation requirements, only one can be activated. The non-[[turn player]] chooses first whether or not to activate a Trap Card. If they do not, the turn player can then choose whether or not to activate a Trap Card.<br />
* Phases progress in the following order: [[Draw Phase]], [[Main Phase]], [[Battle Phase]], [[End Phase]]. (There is no [[Standby Phase]] or [[Main Phase 2]].)<ref name="rushrules">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/duelingaroundatthespeedofsound/ | title = <nowiki>[Rush Duel] Game Play Information and Yuga's Ace!</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | publisher = YGOrganization | date = February 16, 2020 | accessdate = February 16, 2020}}</ref><br />
* [[Tribute|Tributing]] is exclusive to [[Tribute Summon]], with imported ''OCG'' cards that mention them (such as "[[Cannon Soldier (Rush Duel)|Cannon Soldier]]") having the term retroactively replaced with Sending from the field to the Graveyard in their card texts.<br />
* [[Discard|Discarding]] does not exist, with imported ''OCG'' cards that mention them (such as "[[Tribute to The Doomed (Rush Duel)|Tribute to The Doomed]]") having the term retroactively replaced with send from the hand to the Graveyard in their card texts.<br />
* [[Quick-Play Spell Card]]s do not exist, all Quick-Play Spell Cards from the [[OCG]], such as [[Silver's Cry]] are imported as [[Normal Spell Card]]s. <br />
* Some cards are specifically marked as [[Legend Card]]s. A Deck can contain a maximum of 1 Legend Card of each card type ([[Monster Card|Monster]], [[Spell Card|Spell]], and [[Trap Card|Trap]]).<ref name="legend">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/thatfeelwhennoblueeyesultimategirlfriend/ | title = <nowiki>[Rush Duels] Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Legend Cards</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | publisher = YGOrganization | date = March 6, 2020 | accessdate = March 6, 2020}}</ref><ref name="YGOrg 10-31-22">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/rush-duel-change-to-how-legends-work/ | title = <nowiki>[RUSH DUEL] Change To How Legends Work</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | website = The Organization | date = October 31, 2022 | accessdate = October 31, 2022}}</ref> A player's [[Side Deck]] can contain any number of Legend Cards.<ref name="galaxycup">{{cite web | url = https://www.konami.com/yugioh/rushduel/event/galaxy-cup/ | title = <nowiki>Yu-Gi-Oh!

<br />
Similarities to the ''OCG'' include:<br />
* Players can include 40-60 cards in the [[Main Deck]], 0-15 in the [[Extra Deck]], and 0-15 in the [[Side Deck]]. They can use up to 3 copies of each card, with the exception of Legend Cards and cards on the Forbidden/Limited List.<br />
* Players start with 8000 [[LP]].<br />

{{Main|Card layout#Rush Duel}}<br />
''Rush Duel'' cards use a new layout intended to be simple to understand and visually appealing. Differences between ''Rush Duel'' card layout to the ''OCG''/''TCG'' include:<br />
* Art frames and effect text boxes are significantly larger.<br />
* The [[Level]] value is altered to display a number over the Level star graphic.<br />
* The Level value, alongside the [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] values, are moved above the [[Type]] line, slightly covering the bottom part of the card artwork.<br />
** On the middle part of a [[Maximum Monster]], the [[MAXIMUM ATK]] value is printed above its ATK and DEF values.<br />
* On [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s, the [[card type]] line is moved below the card artwork, where the Type line is located on a [[Monster Card]].<br />
* The cards have the phrase "''RUSH DUEL''" printed at their base.<br />

== Legal cards ==<br />
Similar to the ''TCG's'' [[Speed Duel]] format, only cards produced for ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel'' products are legal in ''Rush Duels''.<ref name="legalrushduelcards">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/iwonderwhosinchargeofjapancurrently/ | title = <nowiki>[Rush Duels] More Information on First Products</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | publisher = YGOrganization | date = February 6, 2020 | accessdate = February 6, 2020}}</ref> Unlike Speed Duel cards, which can be used in the standard ''TCG'', ''Rush Duel'' cards are not legal for use in the standard ''OCG''.<br />
<br />
=== Sets ===<br />
As Rush Duels are treated as a different card game, ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel'' products run in a separate product line to ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game'' products. The first sets released for ''Rush Duel'' were ''[[Starter Deck Yuga - Cut Through! Sevens Road!!]]'' and ''[[Starter Deck Luke - Explosive Supremacy! Dragias!!]]'', which could also both be purchased in [[Starter Deck Set - Yuga vs. Luke|one set]].<br />
<br />

<br />
== In the anime ==<br />
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'', Rush Duels were created by main protagonist [[Yuga Ohdo]] as an alternative format that anyone can enjoy, in contrast to the "rigid" [[Goha Dueling Rules|Duels run by adults]].<ref name="summary">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/gottayeetoretueeeee/ | title = The Next Yu-Gi-Oh! Anime | author=Satchmo | publisher = YGOrganization | date = December 21, 2019 | accessdate = December 22, 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'', Rush Duel is a card game created by the [[Goha Company]] and originating from [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], whose existence spread into the depths of space and became a legend among the people of the [[Velgear Star Cluster]]. Main protagonist [[Yudias Velgear]] believes that this "Rush Duel" would be the way for his war-torn people to finally achieve peace. It is eventually revealed that the game was recreated by Yuga, having travelled in time, though the legends spoken of by the Velgearians existed before Yuga created the game.<ref name="gr39">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|39|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
== In the manga ==<br />
The one-shot manga ''[[Let's Go! Rush Duel!!]]'' features a Rush Duel between [[Yuga Ohdo (manga)|Yuga Ohdo]] and [[Tatsuhisa Kamijo (manga)|Tatsuhisa Kamijo]].<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS Luke! Explosive Supremacy Legend!!]]'' features [[Tatsuhisa Kamijo (manga)|Tatsuhisa Kamijo]] (also known as Luke) as its protagonist, in contrast to the anime. In the manga, Luke Duels various opponents with Rush Duel, aiming to become the King of Duels.<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel LP]]'' features various Rush Duels. In a similar vein to ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures]]'', the manga series focused on presenting the game strictly as it was played in real life, often using newly released or upcoming cards.<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' uses the Rush Duel format. [[Yudias Velgear (manga)|Yudias Velgear]] believes that the non-violent nature of the Rush Duel card game would be the way for people to finally be able to end conflicts without bloodshed.<br />

GO RUSH!!]]'', Rush Duel is a card game created by the [[Goha Company]] and originating from [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], whose existence spread into the depths of space and became a legend among the people of the [[Velgear Star Cluster]]. Main protagonist [[Yudias Velgear]] believes that this "Rush Duel" would be the way for his war-torn people to finally achieve peace. It is eventually revealed that the game was recreated by Yuga, having travelled in time, though the legends spoken of by the Velgearians existed before Yuga created the game.<ref name="gr39">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|39|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
== In the manga ==<br />
The one-shot manga ''[[Let's Go! Rush Duel!!]]'' features a Rush Duel between [[Yuga Ohdo (manga)|Yuga Ohdo]] and [[Tatsuhisa Kamijo (manga)|Tatsuhisa Kamijo]].<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS Luke! Explosive Supremacy Legend!!]]'' features [[Tatsuhisa Kamijo (manga)|Tatsuhisa Kamijo]] (also known as Luke) as its protagonist, in contrast to the anime. In the manga, Luke Duels various opponents with Rush Duel, aiming to become the King of Duels.<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel LP]]'' features various Rush Duels. In a similar vein to ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures]]'', the manga series focused on presenting the game strictly as it was played in real life, often using newly released or upcoming cards.<br />
<br />
The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' uses the Rush Duel format. [[Yudias Velgear (manga)|Yudias Velgear]] believes that the non-violent nature of the Rush Duel card game would be the way for people to finally be able to end conflicts without bloodshed.<br />

'''?''' is a value used for a [[Monster Card|monster]]'s [[Original ATK and DEF|original ATK and/or DEF]] to indicate that the value is undefined while not on the [[field]]. Less frequently, a value of ? can be used in some video games for other stats with an unknown value, such as a [[Monster Token]]'s [[Type]].<br />
<br />
While on the field, an original [[ATK]] or [[DEF]] value of ? is always treated as 0. Almost all monsters that use such a value will have an [[effect]] that increases the relevant stat or sets it equal to some value. The only three exceptions are "[[The Creator God of Light, Horakhty]]", "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode]]", and "[[Number C1000: Numerounius]]" (whose stats are intended to be set by "[[Numeron Chaos Ritual]]").<br />
<br />
While in the [[hand]], [[Main Deck|Deck]], or [[Graveyard]], a monster with an ATK or DEF of ? cannot be searched or otherwise used by card effects that require a defined ATK or DEF, such as "[[Sangan]]", "[[Magician's Circle]]", "[[Limit Reverse]]", and "[[Skull Conductor]]". In addition, a monster whose ATK and DEF are both ? is not considered to have [[equal ATK and DEF]] while not on the field.<br />

<br />
"'''Topologic'''" (トポロジック ''Toporojikku'') is an [[archetype]] of [[DARK]] [[Cyberse]] [[Link Monster]]s used by [[Roken Kogami|Roken Kogami/Varis]] and [[Pandor]]. The former acquires them through using "[[Skill|Storm Access]]", with the exception of "[[Topologic Zeroboros]]". They all notably possess a powerful [[effect]] that triggers if a monster(s) is [[Special Summon]]ed to a zone it (or another Link Monster) points to, and performs mass removal of a certain type of card.<br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
Topologic monsters are all vaguely draconian or serpentine mechanical creatures with topologic shapes in their design, such as a mobius strip in the design of the tail of "Bomber Dragon", or the strips in the back section of "Zeroboros" being based on a trefoil knot. "[[Topologic Gumblar Dragon]]" is the main exception, but when it is Summoned to complete an [[Extra Link]] in the anime, it is formed from an infinity symbol of blue energy, and its "Infinite Destruction" effect manifests as a purple infinity symbol.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
In mathematics, [[wikipedia:Topology|topology]] is the study of the properties of space that are preserved under continuous deformations; many of these shapes are present in the designs of the Topologic monsters. Their names also contain the name of a mythical reptilian creature.<br />
<br />
Since all members of this series are Cyberse, this series may also be a reference to [[wikipedia:Network topology|network topology]]. Network topology is the arrangement of the elements (such as links and nodes) of a communication network, which can be disrupted if one of these nodes is affected. This is a possible reference to these monster's mass removal effects, which are triggered when a monster is Special Summoned to a zone a Link Monster points to, while the Topologic monster is face-up on the field.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* "Topologic" monsters and the members of their sister archetype, "[[Topologina]]", are the only [[Cyberse]] monsters in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'' anime not to be used by [[Ignis]], individuals created by them, or pro-Ignis humans.<br />

==Traditional Format==<br />
* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[Eclipse Wyvern]]", "[[Starliege Seyfert]]", "[[Bystial Magnamhut]]", "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms]]", "[[Draconnection]]", "[[Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon]]", "[[Krystal Dragon]]", "[[Ahrima, the Wicked Warden]]", "[[Chaos Zone]]", "[[Magical Contract Door]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Monsters|generic searchers]].<br />
<br />
* "[[Super Rejuvenation]]" will add 3 new cards to your hand during your End Phase after Tribute Summoning this card.<br />
<br />
* Due to their [[Swarm]] and [[Beatdown]] tactics, this card makes a powerful addition "[[Dragon Ruler]]" Decks. Not only can the "Adult Rulers" serve as the Tributes, but the attacks from your other monsters can damage your opponent to the point where this card's direct attack will fulfill its [[Win Condition]].<br />
** If your opponent has 2400 or less LP, you can Special Summon "[[Elder Entity Norden]]" via "[[Instant Fusion]]" and use its effect to Summon a Level 3 Dragon Tuner from your Graveyard, before Synchro Summoning "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" and using its effect to nuke the field. Afterwards, you can Summon the Dragon Rulers with their effects, Tribute Summon this card with them, and attack directly with it.<br />
<br />
* If your opponent is using this card, and you are about to be attacked directly with 2400 or fewer [[Life Points]] left, then you can [[Surrender|forfeit]] right before the attack lands, thereby losing only the [[Duel]] (which you would have lost anyway) and not the [[Match]]. Such tactics are technically not illegal, though in a tournament beware that it may be deemed "unsportsmanlike behavior" and frowned on by judges. (Ruling hassles like these were presumably among the factors that made this card [[Forbidden]].)<br />
<br />
===Summoning===<br />
* At the cost of at least 2000 LP, "[[Star Blast]]" can decrease this card's Level to 4 or lower, allowing you to Summon it without Tributes. In that case, "[[Megamorph]]" will double its Original ATK to 4800.<br />
** Alternatively, you can use multiple copies of "[[Cost Down]]" and "[[Mischief of the Gnomes]]" to lower it.<br />
<br />
* In a Dragon Deck, the Flip effect of "[[Cyber Jar]]" can supply you with the necessary Tributes for this card.<br />
<br />
* After previously using "[[Rescue Rabbit]]'s" effect to summon two Normal Dragons and "[[Ultra Polymerization]]" to summon "[[First of the Dragons]]", banish "Ultra Polymerization" to summon the two Dragons used in the Fusion Summon, and Tribute all 3 Monsters to summon this card.<br />
<br />
* Special Summon "[[Hardened Armed Dragon]]" through its own effect, then use "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]" to Summon two more, then [[Tribute]] all three. This method requires that your opponent control a monster and you to have at least four cards in your hand (though one of them does not need to be specific). However, "Victory Dragon" will be protected from destruction effects, to which it would normally be very vulnerable.<br />
<br />
* Attack your opponent's monster with "[[Masked Dragon]]". When "Masked Dragon" is destroyed in the battle, use its effect to Summon "[[The White Stone of Legend]]", and then activate "Inferno Reckless Summon", Summoning the other two. During your Main Phase 2, Tribute all 3 of the "White Stones" to Summon this card, and add 3 "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]s" to your hand, which you can then use to Summon "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]" or "[[Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]".<br />
<br />
* Use "[[Future Fusion]]" revealing "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]" to send five [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] monsters to your [[Graveyard]], then use "[[Dragon's Mirror]]" to [[banish]] the Dragons and Summon "Five-Headed Dragon". At this point you can use "[[Dimension Fusion]]" or "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]" to bring the banished Dragons back to Tribute them for this card. This method requires four specific cards in your hand and a lot of Life Points, but gives you a powerful back-up monster to help clear the field for "Victory Dragon's" [[victory condition]].<br />
<br />
* Use "[[Painful Choice]]" selecting at least 4 Dragon-Type monsters (or "Future Fusion" revealing "Five-Headed Dragon" again) to get at least three Dragons in the Graveyard. Then use "[[Soul Charge]]" to bring the Dragons back and Tribute them. This setup only requires three cards in your hand, but you will not be able to attack this turn (leaving this card very vulnerable) and will lose 3000 Life Points.<br />
** If using this method, consider [[Tribute Set]]ting this card to leave it less vulnerable with its 3000 DEF. You can [[Flip Summon]] it to attack next turn.<br />
<br />
* Use 1 "[[Dragon Ravine]]" and 1 "[[Dragon Shrine]]" to send three copies of "[[The White Stone of Ancients]]" from your hand and Deck to the Graveyard, then Special Summon any combination of three "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" or "[[Dragon Spirit of White]]" during the End Phase to Tribute for this card. This setup requires three cards from your hand and no Life Point losses, but the Summon of this card will be delayed for a turn while the Tributes are vulnerable (however, having "[[Return of the Dragon Lords]]" in the Graveyard makes this less of an issue).<br />
** To ensure your opponent's LP are 2400 or less so this card can win you the [[Match]], use cards such as "[[Monster Reborn]]", "[[Silver's Cry]]", and "Return of the Dragon Lords" to revive your "Blue-Eyes" monsters.<br />
<br />
===Attacking===<br />
* Use "[[Shooting Star Bow - Ceal]]" to allow "Victory Dragon" to attack directly.<br />
<br />
* Use "[[Shield and Sword]]" to switch this card's [[ATK]] to 3000 for one turn, or "[[Inverse Universe]]" for a permanent change.<br />
<br />
* Equip this card with "[[Tyrant Burst Dragon]]" to enable this card to attack 3 times.<br />
<br />
* Use [[Burn]] cards to whittle away at your opponent's LP, so that you can fulfill this card's win condition with only one attack. This can be done in a "[[Red-Eyes]]" Deck, since one of their gimmicks is dealing Burn damage.<br />
<br />
* In a Graveyard Dragon Power Deck, use "[[Gift of the Martyr]]" to send "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon]]" or "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]" to the Graveyard and heavily this card's ATK until the End Phase.<br />
** Afterwards, use "[[Giant Trunade]]" to return all Spells and Traps to the hands, and "[[Raigeki]]" to destroy the opponent's monsters. Finally, attack directly with this card for an OTK.</div>Chadookhttps://yugipedia.com/index.php?title=Card_Trivia:Voidvelgr_Requiem&diff=4832396Card Trivia:Voidvelgr Requiem2023-07-30T15:43:35Z<p>Chadook: </p>

<br />
==Traditional Format==<br />
* This card can be [[Searcher|searched]] by "[[Eclipse Wyvern]]", "[[Starliege Seyfert]]", "[[Bystial Magnamhut]]", "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms]]", "[[Draconnection]]", "[[Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon]]", "[[Krystal Dragon]]", "[[Ahrima, the Wicked Warden]]", "[[Chaos Zone]]", "[[Magical Contract Door]]", and other [[List of generic searchers#Monsters|generic searchers]].<br />
<br />
* "[[Super Rejuvenation]]" will add 3 new cards to your hand during your End Phase after Tribute Summoning this card.<br />
<br />
* Due to their [[Swarm]] and [[Beatdown]] tactics, this card makes a powerful addition "[[Dragon Ruler]]" Decks. Not only can the "Adult Rulers" serve as the Tributes, but the attacks from your other monsters can damage your opponent to the point where this card's direct attack will fulfill its [[Win Condition]].<br />
** If your opponent has 2400 or less LP, you can Special Summon "[[Elder Entity Norden]]" via "[[Instant Fusion]]" and use its effect to Summon a Level 3 Dragon Tuner from your Graveyard, before Synchro Summoning "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" and using its effect to nuke the field. Afterwards, you can Summon the Dragon Rulers with their effects, Tribute Summon this card with them, and attack directly with it.<br />
<br />
* If your opponent is using this card, and you are about to be attacked directly with 2400 or fewer [[Life Points]] left, then you can [[Surrender|forfeit]] right before the attack lands, thereby losing only the [[Duel]] (which you would have lost anyway) and not the [[Match]]. Such tactics are technically not illegal, though in a tournament beware that it may be deemed "unsportsmanlike behavior" and frowned on by judges. (Ruling hassles like these were presumably among the factors that made this card [[Forbidden]].)<br />
<br />
===Summoning===<br />
<br />
* In a Dragon Deck, the Flip effect of "[[Cyber Jar]]" can supply you with the necessary Tributes for this card.<br />
<br />
* After previously using "[[Rescue Rabbit]]'s" effect to summon two Normal Dragons and "[[Ultra Polymerization]]" to summon "[[First of the Dragons]]", banish "Ultra Polymerization" to summon the two Dragons used in the Fusion Summon, and Tribute all 3 Monsters to summon this card.<br />
<br />
* Special Summon "[[Hardened Armed Dragon]]" through its own effect, then use "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]" to Summon two more, then [[Tribute]] all three. This method requires that your opponent control a monster and you to have at least four cards in your hand (though one of them does not need to be specific). However, "Victory Dragon" will be protected from destruction effects, to which it would normally be very vulnerable.<br />
<br />
* Attack your opponent's monster with "[[Masked Dragon]]". When "Masked Dragon" is destroyed in the battle, use its effect to Summon "[[The White Stone of Legend]]", and then activate "Inferno Reckless Summon", Summoning the other two. During your Main Phase 2, Tribute all 3 of the "White Stones" to Summon this card, and add 3 "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]s" to your hand, which you can then use to Summon "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]" or "[[Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]".<br />
<br />
* Use "[[Future Fusion]]" revealing "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]" to send five [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] monsters to your [[Graveyard]], then use "[[Dragon's Mirror]]" to [[banish]] the Dragons and Summon "Five-Headed Dragon". At this point you can use "[[Dimension Fusion]]" or "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]" to bring the banished Dragons back to Tribute them for this card. This method requires four specific cards in your hand and a lot of Life Points, but gives you a powerful back-up monster to help clear the field for "Victory Dragon's" [[victory condition]].<br />
<br />
* Use "[[Painful Choice]]" selecting at least 4 Dragon-Type monsters (or "Future Fusion" revealing "Five-Headed Dragon" again) to get at least three Dragons in the Graveyard. Then use "[[Soul Charge]]" to bring the Dragons back and Tribute them. This setup only requires three cards in your hand, but you will not be able to attack this turn (leaving this card very vulnerable) and will lose 3000 Life Points.<br />
** If using this method, consider [[Tribute Set]]ting this card to leave it less vulnerable with its 3000 DEF. You can [[Flip Summon]] it to attack next turn.<br />
<br />
* Use 1 "[[Dragon Ravine]]" and 1 "[[Dragon Shrine]]" to send three copies of "[[The White Stone of Ancients]]" from your hand and Deck to the Graveyard, then Special Summon any combination of three "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" or "[[Dragon Spirit of White]]" during the End Phase to Tribute for this card. This setup requires three cards from your hand and no Life Point losses, but the Summon of this card will be delayed for a turn while the Tributes are vulnerable (however, having "[[Return of the Dragon Lords]]" in the Graveyard makes this less of an issue).<br />
** To ensure your opponent's LP are 2400 or less so this card can win you the [[Match]], use cards such as "[[Monster Reborn]]", "[[Silver's Cry]]", and "Return of the Dragon Lords" to revive your "Blue-Eyes" monsters.<br />
<br />
===Attacking===<br />
* Use "[[Shooting Star Bow - Ceal]]" to allow "Victory Dragon" to attack directly.<br />
<br />
* Use "[[Shield and Sword]]" to switch this card's [[ATK]] to 3000 for one turn, or "[[Inverse Universe]]" for a permanent change.<br />
<br />
* Equip this card with "[[Tyrant Burst Dragon]]" to enable this card to attack 3 times.<br />
<br />
* Use [[Burn]] cards to whittle away at your opponent's LP, so that you can fulfill this card's win condition with only one attack. This can be done in a "[[Red-Eyes]]" Deck, since one of their gimmicks is dealing Burn damage.<br />
<br />
* In a Graveyard Dragon Power Deck, use "[[Gift of the Martyr]]" to send "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon]]" or "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]" to the Graveyard and heavily this card's ATK until the End Phase.<br />
** Afterwards, use "[[Giant Trunade]]" to return all Spells and Traps to the hands, and "[[Raigeki]]" to destroy the opponent's monsters. Finally, attack directly with this card for an OTK.</div>Chadookhttps://yugipedia.com/index.php?title=Card_Trivia:Monster_Convocation&diff=4821810Card Trivia:Monster Convocation2023-07-25T13:15:06Z<p>Chadook: </p>

'''Yuya Sakaki''' ({{Ruby|榊|さかき}} {{Ruby|遊|ゆう}}{{Ruby|矢|や}}, ''Sakaki Yūya'') is the protagonist of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]''.<ref name="org">{{citeweb|url=http://ygorganization.com/the-next-yu-gi-oh-anime-series-is/|title=The Next Yu-Gi-Oh Anime Series is…}}</ref> He is a born-entertainer who attends the [[You Show Duel School]] to advance his Dueling expertise and become a "[[Dueltainer]]", a specific type of professional Duelist<ref name="4k">{{citeweb|url=http://www.ltwmag.com/news/latest_news/4k_media_debuts_yugioh_arcv_at_kidscreen_summit.aspx|title=4K Media debuts Yu-Gi-Oh!

After winning the [[Friendship Cup]], Yuya became the new Duel King of [[New Domino City (ARC-V)|New Domino City]]. He is one of the [[Lancers]].<br />
<br />
Yuya has [[Dimensional Counterparts|dimensional counterparts]]: [[Yuri]] ([[Fusion Dimension]]), [[Yugo]] ([[Synchro Dimension]]), and [[Yuto]] ([[Xyz Dimension]]). He is also one of [[Z-ARC]]'s reincarnations, and later comes to assume Z-ARC's identity after merging with all of his counterparts.<br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
===Appearance===<br />
[[File:FullYuyaSakaki.png|thumb|left|Full body view of Yuya.]]<br />
Yuya is a young teenage boy with crimson eyes, and dual-colored green and crimson hair of average length sticking out in downwards pointing spikes all around his head in a similar manner to [[Jaden Yuki]], with the exception of one short upwards pointing spike of green hair. He wears his good-luck charm [[Yuya's pendant|pendant]] on a simple string around his neck,<ref name="tvtokyoprofile" /> and a buckled choker, and a pair of golden goggles with orange lenses on his forehead, with a blue star obscuring the right lens. Yuya wears a simple orange t-shirt with a thick, silver-buckled brown belt over it, green pants with what appear to be "Deck pockets" on each leg, and magenta shoes, as well as crimson wristbands. He also wears his gold and red lined white school jacket over his shoulders like a cape, in a similar manner to [[Yami Yugi]]. After leaving the [[Xyz Dimension]], he wears the [[Rollerboots]] that [[Allen Kozuki]] gave him.<br />
<br />
While [[Awakened]], Yuya's eyes begin to glow a luminous red, while his hair becomes frizzled and sticks up on end. When the darkness inside Yuya takes over Awakened Yuya, he continuously emits a dark aura from his body.<ref name="ep45" /> Yuya is rendered in 3D when he is riding "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]", any of its evolved forms, or his [[Duel Runner]]. His hair and attire's color scheme is based on the Summoning method that he specializes in, in this case [[Pendulum Summon]]ing; half green and half orange/red.<br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya in Riding Suit.png|thumb|Yuya's [[Turbo Duel]]ing outfit.|100px]]<br />
During Turbo Duels, Yuya wears a Turbo Dueling suit that bears resemblance in form to [[Yusei Fudo]]'s. He wears a predominantly red jumpsuit with a secondary white trim and orange markings, and with padded knees. The chest of his jumpsuit is grey. Yuya wears a jacket with the same color scheme as his jumpsuit that flares out above the hips, and black-backed white gloves. His helmet is visorless; Yuya's own goggles serve as a substitute.<br />
<br />
[[File:SupremeKingDragonZarc-HumanoidForm.png|thumb|left|Yuya's demonic form with Z-ARC in control after absorbing all his counterparts.]]<br />
Later, after absorbing Yuri and being consumed by Z-ARC, Yuya transforms into a monstrous form resembling a mixture between a human, a dragon, and a demon. His body turns grey and becomes bulkier with number of spikes protruding from his shoulders, arms, and ankles while his eyes turn bright yellow. His face become veiny and his ears are replaced by wing-like appendages. In this form, he no longer wears a shirt or Rollerboots and has a large pair of black demonic wings on his back.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
A fun-loving and energetic boy, Yuya is very theatrical and loves to entertain people, traits he seems to inherited from his father, [[Yusho Sakaki]]. He idolized and loved his father very much and wishes to become an entertainer like him one day. After his father disappeared during an important match, Yuya was left heartbroken and traumatized by the event because his beloved father was labeled as a "coward". As [[Yoko Sakaki]] had stated, Yuya acts like a fool merely to beat people for insulting him about his father disappearing. Yuya even joked about his father when [[Gong Strong|Gong]] brought up the fact that he should act more serious about his Duels like his father.<br />
<br />
However, after his Duel with [[the Sledgehammer]], during which he reportedly "reinvented" himself, Yuya displays a more serious demeanor, saving his theatrical persona for his finishing combos. Due to Yuya's initial buffoonery, his friends and other people are often baffled by Yuya's behavior and believes he doesn't take things seriously. Because his father was so famous, his friends and other people seems to have high expectations of Yuya to live up to his father's reputation while simultaneously quick to bring up Yusho's "cowardice" or scold him for his clownish actions. During his Duel with the Sledgehammer, Yuya proved to be quite clever and skilled in [[Action Duel]]s, having learned everything from his father.<br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya Hiding his eyes with his Goggles.png|thumb|Yuya hiding behind his goggles.]]<br />
Similar to [[Yugi Muto]], Yuya has a good deal of less self-confidence than the protagonists in the previous series. As such, when he finds himself cornered (for example when "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" was destroyed in his Duel against [[Sora Perse]]), or something happens that breaks his confidence (like when [[Declan Akaba|Declan]] and [[Sylvio Sawatari|Sylvio]] used [[Pendulum Summon]]ing), he tends to pull his goggles down so nobody can see his eyes. At times like these, he ends up recalling lessons from his father, or relies on support from his friends or his mother to regain his confidence and continue the Duel.<br />
<br />
Yuya has a habit of putting his goggles over his eyes when he is either upset or embarrassed, something he did since he was young. When Yuya Duels, he announces "Ladies and gentlemen!" when he is about to perform a finishing move. In the dub, his catch phrase is "Swing into action".<br />
<br />
Initially, Yuya was more emotionally vulnerable regarding Pendulum Summoning, believing it to be a power granted only to him. When both Declan and Sylvio Pendulum Summoned, he was speechless, but coaching from Skip and the lessons he learned during his Qualification Duels have turned him into a Duelist that enjoys the challenge set before him, and he smiled as he was cornered by Sylvio when he Pendulum Summoned in their rematch. Regardless, Yuya can easily fall into depression due to matters such as witnessing his friends being sent to the forced labor of New Domino City, to conflict as simple as Crow Hogan telling him that he no longer wants to be his friend. Yuya's depression is very prominent in the Synchro Dimension.<br />
<br />
Yuya believes that Dueling is for the purpose of making people happy, and he is disgusted when it is used for war. As a spectator, he will protest against any duel conducted with violence, hatred and/or anger. However, confrontations with his dimensional counterparts and learning about the four dimensions as well as the crisis between them start making him doubt his ability to entertain people with Dueling. His Duel against [[Iggy Arlo|Iggy]] further hurt his optimism after [[Awakened|Awakening]] and winning brutally using [[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Yuto's card]]. Yuya also believes that no card in a Deck is worthless. He was given two cards that were deemed worthless by their previous owners, "[[Block Spider (anime)|Block Spider]]" and "[[Tuning Magician (anime)|Tuning Magician]]". Despite the uselessness of the cards, Yuya has managed to come up with creative ways to make use of them and win, as demonstrated in his Duels against Sylvio and [[Shinji Weber|Shinji]].<br />
<br />
As Yuya becomes more involved in the [[Interdimensional Domination|dimensional war]], in addition to repeated incidents that Awaken him, Yuya progressively finds it more difficult to entertain with Dueling, and stops using his usual phrases like "Ladies and gentlemen!". He becomes more hostile and impatient, such as when Declan revealed that the Battle Royal was a test to recruit [[Lancers]] which led to many of his friends becoming sealed in cards. Even before this, Yuya tends to be impatient and demanding in his attempts to uncover information about the conflict between the dimensions or sensitive topics. After the Duel against his mother, Yuya regained his belief that he could make people smile through Dueling, along with the wish to end the conflict between the [[Four Dimensions]], and he demonstrated this against Sector Security. Despite this, his efforts to entertain with Dueling in the Synchro Dimension are frequently thwarted, and these in addition to other problems such as Declan's treatment of Riley and Jack's comments about his Dueling have greatly increased his frustration. This can cause him to become more aggressive and Duel violently similar to when he Awakened, as shown during his Duel against Officer 227. [[Jean Michel Roget]] believes this is Yuya's true nature.<br />
<br />
The first time he Awakened, Yuya was collected and cold, speaking no more than necessary. However, when witnessing [[Yuto]]'s memories of [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]]'s attack on the [[Xyz Dimension]] and seeing the [[Knights of the Duel Disks]] being turned into cards by the [[Obelisk Force]] in front of him, Yuto's hatred towards the [[Fusion Dimension]] bleeds into Yuya, making him even more aggressive and ruthless. This is worsened when the darkness inside him consumed him, making him desire to harm his enemies. Subsequent bouts of Awakenings are either triggered by reminders of the invasion of the Xyz Dimension or when Yuya is placed under extreme stress.<ref name="ep45">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|45|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
[[File:Awakened Yuya.png|thumb|left|Yuya [[Awakened]].]]<br />
As an Action Duelist, Yuya is very acrobatic and fit, having participated in physical training regimes at You Show Duel School.<br />
<br />
Like his dimensional counterparts, Yuya is able to [[Awakened|Awaken]], an involuntary ability that activates when he is sufficiently angered, catalyzed by either the influence of the [[Four Dimensional Dragons]] or his [[Dimensional counterparts]]. This causes him to enter a state of rage that drives him to win the Duel no matter what it takes, and heightens his concentration to the point that he blocks out all sounds except for his opponent's voice.<ref name="ep71">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|71|ref}}</ref> When in this state his own voice becomes deeper and noticeably more menacing.<ref name="ep39">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|39|ref}}</ref> He loses this ability after Riley removed Z-ARC's soul from him.<ref name="ep140">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|140|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya Possessed by Darkness.png|thumb|Yuya possessed by [[Z-ARC|the darkness]].]]<br />
After absorbing Yuto's soul and merging with him, Yuto's memories begin to spill over, allowing him to see fragments of his counterpart's past. When triggered, the shock and trauma that comes with them can cause him to awaken and become influenced by Yuto's own hatred, which makes him vulnerable to the control of a [[Z-ARC|darkness]] that slowly tries to consume both of their souls.<ref name="ep44">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|44|ref}}</ref> After becoming aware of this, Yuya eventually gained a degree of control over his anger and thus Awakening, becoming capable of snapping out of it by force of will.<ref name="ep71"/><ref name="ep48">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|48|ref}}</ref><ref>Animedia September 2015 issue</ref> While under the control of the darkness, Yuya is able to unleash powerful shockwaves via "[[Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon]]" that is beyond normal for someone hailing from the Standard Dimension.<br />
<br />
[[File:Sync of Yuya & Yugo.png|thumb|left|Yuya in [[Synchronize (ability)|sync]] with [[Yugo]]]]<br />
Yuya has the ability to [[Synchronize (ability)|synchronize]] with his dimensional counterparts, though the exact circumstances are unknown. Unlike the apparent synchronization that Yuto and Yugo previously displayed, he has complete sync with his counterpart(s), capable of seeing and experiencing everything that they experience. In this state, Yuya and his counterpart(s) act as if they were one person, speaking, moving, and responding in the exact same manner. When the Duel ends, both of them were unable to understand what had happened in that brief period of time, though both retain the memory of the Duel occurring. Yuya is capable of retaining his own thoughts while in sync though he gradually loses the ability to distinguish between himself and Yugo, as seen when he worried that his victory would send Sylvio to the underground facility when it would have been Yugo's victory that would do the deed.<ref name="ep72">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|72|ref}}</ref> After Yugo's Duel with Celina, Yuya has become aware of this ability.<ref name="ep86">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|86|ref}}</ref> During his Duel with Crow, he synchronizes with Yuto, Yugo, and [[Yuri]] after Roget uses the [[Electric Shock Chip|chip]] he planted in Yuya's helmet at maximum, which also caused all four of them to awaken.<ref name="ep87">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|87|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuto Controlling Yuya.png|thumb|Yuya being possessed by [[Yuto]].]]<br />
After absorbing Yuto into his body, Yuya can be possessed by him while not Awakened, causing Yuya to feel a rush of pain, followed by his eyes briefly glowing purple before fading to the same color as Yuto's.<ref name="ep104">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|104|ref}}</ref> Eventually Yuya and Yuto became able to fully switch control of the body.<ref name="ep124" /><br />
<br />
Yuya is also immune to [[The Doktor]]'s [[Parasite Monster]]s. When they attempt to attach to his brain they are quickly destroyed by the darkness that possesses him when Awakened.<ref name="ep125" /><br />
<br />
As [[Z-ARC]]'s reincarnation, Yuya seems to have also inherited his ability to communicate with his monsters, especially his ace monster "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]", to a certain degree, though not as strong as Z-ARC. This is demonstrated whenever Yuya saw a glimpse of his monsters before summoning them, which mostly resulted with Yuya summoning and gaining new Special Summoned monsters.<ref name="ep125" /><ref name="ep23" /><ref name="ep26" /><ref name="ep79" /><ref name="ep97" /><ref name="ep110" /> After Z-ARC's defeat, he is still fused with his counterparts and as such is considered "whole". With this Yuya has gained the full use of Z-ARC's ability to communicate with Duel Monsters and understand them as seen when he summoned the Four Dimensional Dragons.<ref name=ep146 /><br />
<br />
===Etymology===<br />
Like the protagonists of the other series, [[Yugi Muto]], [[Yami Yugi]], [[Jaden Yuki]], [[Yusei Fudo]], and [[Yuma Tsukumo]], his name contains the character「遊」(Yu). He is the first protagonist whose surname only contains one character.<br />
<br />
Yuya was also the name of a Pharaoh, which could possibly allude to the fictional events in Ancient Egypt that heavily influenced the plot of the second series anime.<br />
<br />
His given name contains the characters for "game" and "arrow". His surname「{{Ruby|榊|さかき}}」(sakaki) refers to the ''Cleyera japonica'', an evergreen tree that has relevance in Shinto ceremonies, where it acts as a conduit for kami. It is also part of the Shinto creation myth, during the section in which Amaterasu retreats into a cave after Susano'o torments her, where it is strung with jewelry and mirrors as part of a successful plot to draw Amaterasu from the cave and restore light to the world.<br />

===History===<br />
[[File:Yuyaandhisfather.png|thumb|left|[[Yusho Sakaki|Yuya's father]] explains the pendulum.]]<br />
In his childhood, Yuya sat by himself crying when his father, [[Yusho Sakaki]] came in to cheer him up. He gave him advice on laughing whenever he felt down and used [[Yuya's pendant]] to explain that if Yuya was happy, the happiness would swing back at him.<ref name="ep1">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|1|ref}}</ref> At another unknown point in his childhood, he lost his Pendant in a park, and cried when he was unable to find it. His father learned of the incident and reaffirmed the statement that Yuya should look up and laugh whenever he felt like crying. Yuya did so, locating his Pendant hanging from a tree branch.<ref name="ep6">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|6|ref}}</ref> At one point, Yuya said that he wanted to be a Duelist just like his father when he grew up, and his father said Yuya's got it a bit wrong. He said instead of being like him, Yuya should always be himself.<br />
<br />
He also looked at Gong's purely Monster Card composed Deck at another point, discussing Gong's philosophy of not using Action Cards. Gong explained that Action Cards were too risky if one were to rely on them, though Yuya claimed that that was the exciting part about them.<br />
<br />
At a later point, Yuya and his mother, [[Yoko Sakaki]], watched the final Duel between Yusho and [[the Sledgehammer]]. When Yusho did not show up, Yuya ran to the bottom of the stands, saying that his father would appear, and challenged the Sledgehammer to a Duel until his father arrived. Yoko pulled Yuya from the stands as he continued to protest.<ref name="ep1" /> He was bullied for these remarks, even being challenged to a Duel directly by [[Grizzlepike Jones|Grizzlepike]], one of the disciples of the [[Strong Dojo]] who wanted to represent the Sledgehammer, but he was protected by Gong and comforted by [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]].<ref name="ep26">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|26|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Pre-Arc League Championship===<br />
[[File:Showtime ARC-V 001.png|thumb|Yuya Summons his "[[Hippo Token (anime)|Hippos]]".]]<br />
Yuya and [[Gong Strong|Gong]] were engaged in a Duel in [[You Show Duel School]] to recruit future students. As Gong called out to Yuya to Duel in a one-on-one match, he boldly made a stage performance with "[[Hippo Carnival (anime)|Hippo Carnival]]" and started to dance. After [[Zuzu Boyle]] accidentally broke the [[ARC System]], Yuya fell to the ground, but he managed to make a quick recovery and pulled a funny face after seeing [[Tate]] looking concerned. At the lounge, Yuya was frustrated that he couldn't entertain his audience, much to the annoyance of his friends. When [[Nico Smiley]] offered Yuya a chance to fulfill his desire of Dueling [[The Sledgehammer]] in his father's place, Yuya became upset. Eventually, he left the school and sat by himself, remembering the time when his father told him to stay positive when he felt down. He later made his way to the Dueling arena to participate in the Sledgehammer's Duel, dressed as a clown. Yuya snuck up behind the Sledgehammer and taunted him behind his back before revealing himself, much to the Sledgehammer's shock and anger. Yuya apologized for his actions before commencing the Duel. He put up a good performance with "[[Performapal Hip Hippo (anime)|Performapal Hip Hippo]]" and used the [[Action Card]]s that were scattered around the battlefield to save himself. Yuya eventually Summoned "[[Odd-Eyes Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Dragon]]" in an attempt to defeat the Sledgehammer's "[[Battleguard King (anime)|Battleguard King]]", which had been weakened by "[[Wonder Balloons (anime)|Wonder Balloons]]", but the Sledgehammer managed to counter Yuya's play with his own Action Card, "[[Miracle]]". "Odd-Eyes" was then destroyed by "Battleguard King", pushing Yuya to a corner and making him lose hope.<ref name="ep1" /><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya'sFirstPendulum.png|thumb|left|Yuya Pendulum Summons for the first time.]]<br />
Remembering his father's words, Yuya regained the courage to continue. Suddenly, his pendant reacted with three of his [[Effect Monster]]s - "[[Stargazer Magician (Effect Monster)|Stargazer Magician]]", "[[Timegazer Magician (Effect Monster)|Timegazer Magician]]" and "Odd-Eyes Dragon", transforming them into [[Stargazer Magician (anime)|Pendulum]] [[Stargazer Magician (anime)|Monsters]], while "Odd-Eyes Dragon" was transformed into "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]". Using his [[Spellcaster]]-[[Type]] [[Pendulum Monster]]s, Yuya performed the first [[Pendulum Summon]]s, Special Summoning "[[Performapal Sword Fish (anime)|Performapal Sword Fish]]", "[[Performapal Whip Snake (anime)|Performapal Whip Snake]]" and "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon", to the amazement of the audience.<ref name="ep1" /> Using his new monsters to support "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon," he destroyed "Battleguard King" and wiped out the Sledgehammer in a single attack. Afterwards, he was swarmed by people asking about the Pendulum Summon that he'd performed, though he seemed unaware of the details himself and didn't seem to remember exactly what had happened.<ref name="ep2" /><br />
<br />
The You Show Duel School received a flood of applicants, all eager to learn how to Pendulum Summon. Yuya and Zuzu had an exhibition Action Duel, though Yuya received a swat from Zuzu's fan beforehand for not taking it seriously. He portrayed her as a fan of the Sledgehammer looking for revenge after being put on the spot. On his second turn, Yuya attempted to Pendulum Summon again, but the Summon failed. Theorizing that it might only work when he was in a pinch, he urged Zuzu to attack him with all she had, but the Summon failed again and Zuzu defeated him. He showed Zuzu and the applicants his Pendulum Cards afterwards, annoying the applicants as they thought that Yuya might have cheated against the Sledgehammer and they couldn't use the Summon without the Pendulum Cards (in the dub, the applicants mainly thought Yuya cheated). All of the young kids but Tate, Frederick, and Allie left. Tate believed in Yuya, and Gong encouraged Yuya to support his fans. Yuya agreed, vowing to master Pendulum Summoning.<ref name="ep2" /> He finally did so, replicating the conditions of his Duel with the Sledgehammer after 291 Duels (247 in the dub) against Gong, though the ordeal left him sleeping through his math class the next day. When asked the answer to a problem, he bolted upright in his seat and began to recite his Pendulum Summon chant, before trying to wriggle his way out of the situation by stating that math didn't "exactly add up to a fun time" which earned him a swipe from Zuzu's fan.<ref name="ep3">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|3|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:YuyaMeetsSawatari.png|thumb|Yuya and Zuzu meet [[Sylvio Sawatari]].]]<br />
After the day ended, Tate, [[Allie]] and [[Frederick]] arrived, eager to see the Pendulum Summon. They were interrupted by a student of the [[Leo Institute of Dueling]], [[Sylvio Sawatari|Sylvio]], who threw three sucker-tipped darts at Yuya. He admitted that he was a big fan of Yuya's Pendulum Summoning, and after learning that they were going to see a Pendulum Summon, offered the use of the Center Field at LID. Sylvio showed them around, and Yuya was impressed by the various courses the school had on different Summoning forms. He was briefly distracted by [[Sora Perse|someone]] noticing him, and rejoined the others. At the Duel Field, three of Sylvio's friends approached them, and Sylvio asked if he could show them Yuya's Pendulum Cards. Yuya was reluctant, but he agreed, holding out "Stargazer Magician" and "Timegazer Magician". Sylvio swiped the cards and showed them to his friends, then he stated that he was keeping them for himself, suggesting that Yuya Duel to get them back. With Zuzu, Allie, Tate and Frederick held hostage, Yuya had little choice. He took the first turn and used "[[Performapal Whip Snake (anime)|Performapal Whip Snake]]" to make his way around the "[[Prison Tower of Darkville]]," attempting to find Action Cards, but not only were they Traps that reduced the [[ATK]] of "Whip Snake," but they also put his friends at risk. Sylvio then proceeded to use the two Pendulum Monsters that he had stolen to Pendulum Summon three monsters himself, much to Yuya's shock.<ref name="ep3" /> Yuya began to grieve for the sake of his friends, but regained his confidence when he drew "[[Block Spider (anime)|Block Spider]]", using it in conjunction with "[[Mimiclay (anime)|Mimiclay]]" against Sylvio to defend himself. Yuya later used "[[Empty Fishing]]" to regain his two Pendulum Monsters and used them to save his friends from falling. He then [[Pendulum Summon]]ed "[[Performapal Kaleidoscorp (anime)|Performapal Kaleidoscorp]]", "[[Performapal Turn Toad (anime)|Performapal Turn Toad]]", and "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and defeated Sylvio with them. After losing to Yuya, Sylvio sent his friends to take back "Timegazer Magician" and "Stargazer Magician", but they were intercepted by a boy named [[Sora Perse]], who knocked them unconscious with his lollipop stick and declared himself as Yuya's apprentice.<ref name="ep4">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|4|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Dream Duel ARC-V 005.png|thumb|left|Yuya's dream about becoming the world champion.]]<br />
The next day, Yuya woke up after having a dream about being the world champion, only to find that Sora had followed him home. As the day went on, Sora continued to follow Yuya to school, appearing in front of him and calling him "teacher". Later, Sora met Yuya at the You Show Duel School, where Sora wanted to Duel Yuya. Yuya initially refused to Duel him, but after Yuya's friends, and [[Skip Boyle|Skip]] supported Sora, Yuya gave in and reluctantly accepted the Duel. Yuya added two conditions to the Duel: if he won, Sora would stop following him and calling him teacher, but if Sora won, he would continue to follow him. Yuya managed to Pendulum Summon his ace monster, "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" along with his other "Performapal" monsters, but then Sora [[Fusion Summon]]ed his monster, "[[Frightfur Bear (anime)|Frightfur Bear]]".<ref name="ep5">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|5|ref}}</ref> Sora proceeded to destroy and equip "Hip Hippo" to "Frightfur Bear," also effectively slowing Yuya down in mobility and powering up his "Frightfur Bear" so that it was even stronger than "Odd-Eyes." When Yuya tried to retaliate the next turn, Sora had two copies of the same Trap ready for him, "[[Punch-in-the-Box (anime)|Punch-in-the-Box]]," which bypassed the effect of "Timegazer Magician," and weakened "Odd-Eyes" to the point that it could be destroyed with ease. Yuya immediately went on the search for an Action Card to protect it, but Sora grabbed it first and also used it to protect his monster from Yuya's Trap. Depressed at the loss of his ace monster, Yuya hid his eyes behind his goggles, believing that he had lost. He then remembered a time from his childhood where he'd lost his pendulum, and his father reminded him to look up and laugh when he felt like crying; Yuya had done so and then found the pendulum. He did so now, much to the surprise of everyone watching, and then he saw an arrow on his Duel Disk that was pointing to his [[Extra Deck]] - "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" had been sent to the Extra Deck instead of the Graveyard, and thus prevented Sora from completing his combo. Emboldened by this, Yuya took his next turn, bringing out both "[[Performapal Cheermole (anime)|Performapal Cheermole]]" and "Odd-Eyes" in a Pendulum Summon. Using "Cheermole" and "Sword Fish" to reduce the ATK of "Frightfur Bear," Yuya finished Sora off with an attack from "Odd-Eyes." After the Duel, he reminded Sora of his promise, so Sora instead decided to become his friend (annoying Yuya by using Yuya's first name). Despite Yuya's protests, an enthusiastic Shuzo accepted Sora into the You Show Duel School and went to get the paperwork. Yuya asked Sora where he'd learnt to Fusion Summon, with Sora being evasive by claiming it was normal from where he came from, frustrating Yuya with his evasiveness.<ref name="ep6" /><br />
<br />
After experiencing a sensation that he was being talked about one day, Yuya was waiting with Frederick, Tate and Sora for Zuzu and Allie to get back with ice-creams; however, only Allie returned, telling Yuya that Zuzu was in danger. Yuya raced to the warehouse where Zuzu had been, finding her unharmed, and she asked if something had been his doing, much to his confusion.<ref name="ep7">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|7|ref}}</ref> Zuzu remained preoccupied next day, leaving Yuya to attempt to prevent Sora from eating in class, which worked futilely. She abruptly asked Skip if their school taught [[Xyz Summon]]ing, much to Yuya's and Skip's confusion. After it was clarified that they didn't, they heard Gong yelling "that Yuya would never do such a thing". Confused, Yuya found him with Sylvio's friends, who all claimed that Yuya had attacked Sylvio and hospitalized him, much to Yuya's surprise and confusion, and furthermore, Zuzu had also witnessed the incident. Yuya denied that he'd attacked Sylvio, but the conversation only intensified when [[Henrietta Akaba|Henrietta]] became involved. His friends were convinced that Yuya had not attacked Sylvio, even Zuzu, who had been doubting her own conclusions. Regardless, she stated, Sylvio had lost and their School's name tarnished. The group realized that Henrietta was using the incident as an opportunity to add the [[You Show Duel School]] to LID when she proposed a Duel between schools, best out of three. If her Duelists won, she would buy the You Show Duel School. Yuya vowed to fight, refusing to let the Duel School that his father had founded with the intent to teach Entertainment Dueling be taken over by one interested in money and power. He requested to Duel first, despite Sora trying to do so, and ended up facing [[Dipper O'rion|Dipper]], LID's top Xyz-user.<ref name="ep8">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|8|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:YuyaWithMonsters009.png|thumb|Yuya stands alongside his monsters ready for the final attack.]]<br />
Dipper immediately brought out his "[[Constellar Pleiades (anime)|Constellar Pleiades]]," which he used to counter Yuya's Pendulum Summoning by returning "Odd-Eyes" to Yuya's hand, as well as barring Yuya's way when he attempted to find Action Cards. Dipper's expertise with the Action Field puts Yuya at a disadvantage and purposefully in danger, and even though Yuya manages to withstand "Pleiades" until it runs out of Overlay Units, Dipper simply brings out another, then uses the first one as [[Xyz Material]] to Xyz Summon "[[Constellar Ptolemy M7 (anime)|Constellar Ptolemy M7]]". Dipper again timed his attacks to hurt Yuya, resulting in a building collapsing around Yuya as he grabbed an Action Card. Yuya was able to survive, commenting that if he had fled, it wouldn't have been exciting, and he countered with the card, inflicting damage to Dipper for the first time. Dipper went into a rage for being damaged for the first time in 40 Duels, and used "[[Constellar Tempest (anime)|Constellar Tempest]]" to reduce Yuya to 200 [[Life Points]], raining down meteors on Yuya, who was only just able to dodge them. Yuya proceeded to switch his "Stargazer Magician" and "Performapal Turn Toad" around with "[[Performapal Trampolynx (anime)|Performapal Trampolynx]]," allowing him to counter "Pleiades'" effect and keep "Odd-Eyes" on the field, then used "[[Magical Star Illusion (anime)|Magical Star Illusion]]" to boost the ATK of all of his monsters by their total Levels. The effect was applied to Dipper as well, but since his Xyz Monsters had Ranks rather than Levels, he received no bonus, and Yuya proceeded to wipe out the rest of Dipper's Life Points.<ref name="ep9">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|9|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:ZuzuHugsYuya.png|thumb|left|Yuya comforts Zuzu over her loss.]]<br />
Zuzu was up next, Dueling the Fusion Specialist, [[Julia Krystal]]. Yuya supported Zuzu, telling her to win, but Zuzu was still distracted by recent events and she was defeated by Julia, much to Yuya's horror. He ran over to her after the Duel, and the two ended up embracing until Julia snarkily took note of it. Zuzu quickly and violently shoved Yuya away, much to his surprise. He reassured her that it was all right that she had lost - they just had to win the next Duel, was all. The next Duel was between the [[Synchro]] user [[Kit Blade]] and Gong, who took Sora's place after Sora bowed out. Skip raised the stakes to ensure that if their Duelists won, LID wouldn't bother them again.<ref name="ep10">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|10|ref}}</ref> During the Duel, Yuya reassured the watchers that Gong was fine despite not going after Action Cards, as this was how he Dueled. He was proven right, as Gong was able to nearly win, but eventually forced the Duel into a draw. Gong apologized to Yuya, who reassured him it was thanks to him they'd been able to get a draw. A furious Henrietta proposed a tie-breaker Duel between Yuya and Julia, the two winners, and Yuya, donning his goggles, prepared to face her, but before they could begin, a mysterious grey-haired Duelist arrived, [[Declan Akaba|Declan]]. He claimed that he would put an end to this.<ref name="ep11">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|11|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
As they stood in the Duel Arena, Zuzu, noting that Yuya wasn't his normal self, urged him to laugh and smile. Yuya did so, stating that bright and fun entertainment was his motto, realizing that he couldn't forget that. Skip made the Action Field Yuya's favorite, "[[Acrobatic Circus]]" after Declan reassured Yuya that the choice did not matter. Declan took the first turn at Yuya's offer, and Fusion Summoned "[[D/D/D Flame King Genghis (anime)|D/D/D Flame King Genghis]]," but the cost was placing three [[Continuous Spell Card]]s that would inflict 3000 damage to him on the field. Yuya attempted to counter with "Whip Snake," but Declan was able to use an Action Card to evade the attack, but now he had four "[[Dark Contract]]" that would all inflict 1000 damage to him during his next turn. Declan observed that Yuya seemed to be very kind, though he called such kindness useless on the stage of battle; despite being given the option to end his turn and win, Yuya was hesitating. Yuya Set a card and ended his turn, but Declan nullified the damage he would take by sending the "Dark Contracts" to the Graveyard and drawing a card for each one with "[[Contract Laundering (anime)|Contract Laundering]]." Yuya admitted that he'd thought it to be too good to be true, and that he wouldn't have liked to win that way, as he wouldn't have been able to show off his Entertainment Dueling that everyone was anticipating. Declan asked Yuya if he meant Yusho's Dueling, much to Yuya's shock. He asked if Declan knew his father, to which Kit and Dipper shouted from the sidelines that of course they knew him; he was the coward that ran away. Declan yelled at the LID Students to be silent, before apologizing for his outburst and explaining to Yuya that of course he knew Yusho, the man who had brought them their current Action Duel, he respected Yusho from the bottom of his heart. Declan then proceeded to Synchro Summon "[[D/D/D Gust King Alexander (anime)|D/D/D Gust King Alexander]]" and Xyz Summon "[[D/D/D Wave King Caesar (anime)|D/D/D Wave King Caesar]]".<ref name="ep12">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|12|ref}}</ref> Despite Declan having three powerful monsters, Yuya weathered his attacks with "Hippo Carnival." He complimented Declan on bringing out a Fusion, Synchro and Xyz monster, and he admitted that while he didn't control any of those, he had his own unique power of Pendulum Summoning. Declaring his Entertainment Dueling that only Yuya Sakaki could do, he Pendulum Summoned "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and "[[Performapal Fire Mufflerlion (anime)|Performapal Fire Mufflerlion]]," using "Mufflio's" effect to allow "Odd-Eyes" to destroy two of Declan's monsters and then using an Action Card to allow it to destroy the third. Declan simply used "Caesar's" effect to revive them all, though at the cost of taking game-ending damage on his next turn, and then he destroyed them all with "[[D/D/D Human Resources (anime)|D/D/D Human Resources]]" to add two more "D/D" monsters to his hand. Yuya admitted that he was looking forward to whatever Declan had in store for him, then jokingly claimed he was kidding. Declan returned the compliment, and told Yuya to confirm whether Pendulum Summoning was unique to him with his own eyes. Declan proceeded to Pendulum Summon three copies of "[[D/D/D Doom King Armageddon (anime)|D/D/D Doom King Armageddon]]", all with 3000 ATK, and devastated Yuya's monsters, leaving him with only 350 Life Points left. Shocked, Yuya demanded to know where Declan had gotten Pendulum Monsters, but Declan refused to answer, and Skip had to get Yuya back in the Duel. He Pendulum Summoned his destroyed monsters back, along with "[[Performapal Partnaga (anime)|Performapal Partnaga]]" and he formed a plan to destroy all three "Hell Armageddons" with "Odd-Eyes," "Fire Mufflerlion" and his Set card. He destroyed the first, but this activated the effects of the other two to gain the ATK of the destroyed monster, boosting the other two to 6000 ATK. He ended his turn in shock - and then the Pendulum Monsters in Declan's Pendulum Zones malfunctioned, reducing the range of their Pendulum Scale to 2 and 5 and destroying the remaining "Hell Armageddons." Declan began to laugh, and he claimed to have seen the possibilities for further evolution in Pendulum Summoning. Before they could continue, Declan received a call from his employee [[Claude]], and he gave Yuya the win. He told Yuya his full name when asked before he departed.<ref name="ep13">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|13|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya was shell-shocked that Declan had been able to Pendulum Summon. After Sora's comments that it had been Yuya's efforts alone that had kept the school safe, Tate encouraged Yuya to teach them about his Pendulum Summoning, but Yuya yelled that Pendulum Summoning wasn't his anymore and he tried to run off, only for Skip to stop him. Skip told him off for running, pointing out that reality wouldn't change if Yuya fled from it, despite the fact that other people could Pendulum Summon had shown up. Skip pointed out that one day the world could be overflowing with Pendulum Cards, given Declan's status as the CEO of the Leo Corporation. He ordered Yuya to Duel him, so that he could beat Yuya's pessimistic personality into shape. They Dueled in Yusho Sakaki's signature field, and Skip told him he'd show Yuya what a real Entertainment Duel was like. Yuya protested at his Duels being called fake, and Skip claimed that Yuya's Duels were not comparable to his or Yusho's. Forcing Yuya to reveal his hand, Skip harassed him, and Yuya Dueled for a turn without using his Pendulums, despite having both his Magicians in his hand. When Yuya's attack failed, he claimed that Yusho's Duels were more entertaining than Skip's, a fact that Skip agreed with. Skip pointed out that Yusho's Duels weren't always like that and initially attracted criticism, but eventually, the jeers became cheers. He told Yuya that to open a door to a new world, one with courage had to push it, and Yuya had opened a new door called "Pendulum." But they wouldn't be exclusive to him anymore, soon anyone could Pendulum Summon. To prove it, he took control of the Magicians and used them to Pendulum Summon more monsters. Skip commented that Yusho would have been overjoyed and improved his skills, while Yuya was shocked instead, and encouraged Yuya to set and example and hone his skills. but ended his turn without attacking and returned the Magicians to Yuya (due to his card conditions). Regaining his confidence and taking a step forward with courage, Yuya Pendulum Summoned "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and two new "Performapals", "[[Performapal Stamp Turtle (anime)|Performapal Stamp Turtle]]" and "[[Performapal Spikeagle (anime)|Performapal Spikeagle]]," and then he used the effects of his monsters and the assorted Action Cards he found to switch Skip's "[[Gutsmaster]]s" to Defense Position and thus prevent them from using their effects, allow "Odd-Eyes" to inflict piercing damage, and attack all of Skip's monsters, allowing him to win. Skip over-dramatically faked a death scene and Yuya responded just as dramatically, until Zuzu smacked her father with her fan. Yuya vowed to train harder and be a Duelist like his father.<ref name="ep14">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|14|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
The next day, as he messily ate lunch with Zuzu, Sylvio approached them, commenting that he heard Yuya attacked someone again, though he knew Yuya wasn't the culprit, and he called Yuya's Pendulum Summoning cowardly as only Yuya could do it. Sylvio vowed to get his hands on the new Pendulum Cards being developed by Leo Corporation and defeat Yuya, saying that he'd be waiting at the Junior Arc League Championship before departing. Yuya remembered that he couldn't join the Championship, as his win rate was only 56% rather than the required sixty. Yuya tried to find someone to Duel all day, but they all refused. Tate worked out that if Yuya defeated his next four opponents, he'd be able to qualify. Yuya bemoaned the fact that his win against The Sledgehammer was causing people to think he'd get a free pass, something that he didn't want, and then realized that there were four of his friends right there - but they all refused; Allie, Tate and Frederick as they were only in elementary school, and Zuzu because she and Yuya had Dueled many times before and she'd already qualified. Zuzu suggested asking Gong for help, but Yuya decided against it, as Gong had helped him too much in the past and Yuya wanted to get stronger by himself. Zuzu, who also wanted to do so, departed, asking Yuya to tell Skip that she wouldn't be at Duel School that afternoon. When a confused Yuya wondered why she'd left, Allie slyly suggested it was because Yuya had forgotten to thank Zuzu as well. Yuya freaked, but it was too late to fix his mistake. He arrived at You Show to find Nico Smiley there, who offered him a free pass into the Junior Arc League Championship. Yuya declined, not wanted to be given special treatment, but he was able to get Nico to set up his next four Duels. He found Zuzu, Sora and Julia in the warehouse that Sylvio had been attacked in after he was sent there by Skip Boyle. He was immediately interrogated by both Julia and Zuzu, but had no clue what they were talking about. Sora mediated the situation by distracting Julia and explained to Yuya that he'd been teaching Zuzu to Fusion Summon. When he explained that he'd found his next opponents, Sora asked Yuya about entering, and Yuya explained that if he won six Duels in a row, Sora would be able to enter.<ref name="ep15">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|15|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
After reorganizing his Deck the following day, Yuya noted that his mother was bringing in more stray animals, including Sora, who was eating with them again. They wished each other luck, but Yuya ended up having to skip breakfast since the new recipe his mother was making was taking too long. He arrived at the [[Flavor Factory School]] to Duel [[Reed Pepper]], and they Dueled in the "[[Chaos Kitchen]]," a field that Reed demonstrated skillful knowledge of. Reed swarmed the field with weak monsters, and Yuya used "Whip Snake" and his own Action Card to counter Reed's, giving Reed the opportunity to place his destroyed "[[Cookpal]]s" in his "[[Food Cemetery]]." This in turn allowed Reed to bring out his "[[Royal Cookpal]]s," which, when Yuya Pendulum Summoned next turn, force-fed his monsters until they were destroyed, but returned to Reed's hand.<ref name="ep16">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|16|ref}}</ref> In a bind, Yuya was able to take advantage of the damage to add two "Performapals" to his hand, ready to Pendulum Summon the next turn, but which would lock him out from his others for the turn. This in turn allowed Reed to add two more "Royal Cookpals" to his hand. Drawing a Trap card, Yuya knew it couldn't help him and he lept for an Action Card, but his hunger prevented him from reaching it. He tried Pendulum Summoning again, but his monsters were force-fed and destroyed again by the Royal Cookpals, and Yuya reluctantly ended his turn again with the Trap card he'd drawn. Reed then proceeded to bring out all of his "Royal Cookpals" and used their effects to double the ATK of one of them four times, to 4800. Yoko arrived, surprised at Yuya's struggle, citing it due to not having breakfast (Yuya himself was getting slightly distracted by how delicious the monsters looked.) She tossed him Reed's recipe, but wrapped in pancakes, and Yuya eagerly devoured it, and then leapt for the Action Card again, using it in combination with his Trap to survive the attacks. On his next turn, he drew his "[[Illusion Balloons (anime)|Illusion Balloons]]" Spell Card and Pendulum Summoned again, Summoning all five of his destroyed Pendulum Monsters from his Extra Deck. Reed returned all of his "Royal Cookpals" to his hand again and destroyed all five of Yuya's monsters, but Yuya had been counting on this, and he used this to trigger "Illusion Balloons," the balloons appearing as the breakfast Yoko had made for him. He [[excavate]]d the top five card of his Deck, and the final one was his "[[Performapal Elephammer (anime)|Performapal Elephammer]]," which was thus Special Summoned with enough ATK to wipe out Reed's Life Points, winning Yuya the first of the four remaining Duels that he needed to qualify. Reed took the loss gracefully, telling Yuya he'd see him in the Junior Arc League Championship.<ref name="ep17">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|17|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya later went to find Zuzu again, unaware that her bracelet had activated just before he'd shown up, having been sent after her again by her father. He wondered why she wasn't coming to Duel School anymore. As he was due to Duel at the Quiz School the next day, after having several of Reed's recipes that had been prepared by his mother, he stayed up late watching quiz shows, but this had a negative effect on his concentration. As he walked down the street, he was suddenly pursued by three LID students led by [[Curio Sawatari]], who still believed Yuya to be the person who had attacked Sylvio. Fleeing, unaware of the reason behind his pursuit, Yuya was saved by the intervention of [[Shay Obsidian]], who proceeded to Xyz Summon [[Raidraptor - Rise Falcon (anime)|a monster]] that dealt real damage to the LID elites and seal them in cards, while knocking Yuya himself out. Nico Smiley later found Yuya, who babbled about a monster that destroyed the area, but there was no visible evidence of the encounter. Nico asked if Yuya had been sleeping, and Yuya admitted that he'd stayed up all night doing quizzes.<ref name="ep18">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|18|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya then Dueled [[Pierre L'Supérieure]] from the [[Clarity Prep School]]. Yuya had difficulty during the Duel as he was only able to find "[[Quiz]]" Action Cards in subjects that he was bad at, while Pierre claimed those in the subjects that Yuya was better at. His LP was quickly drained by the effects "[[Quiz Monkey]]", "[[Quiz Sphinx]]", and the "Quiz" cards. Despite this, Yuya's humiliation caused the audience to laugh, something that took as a compliment. Using the damage effects of the "Quiz" cards to his advantage, he eventually won using a combo of "[[Performapal Reborn Force]]", "[[Performapal Curtain Call]]", and "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon".<br />
<br />
The next day, Allie, Frederick and Tate noticed Yuya seemed bothered and wondered why. Yuya remembered Nico Smiley congratulating him from his two recent Duels. Yuya noted that Nico didn't seem so excited, with Nico replying that it's the Pro Duelists' job to be excited. He told Yuya that the Entertainment Duelists surpassed the wildest imagination of the audience. Yuya took his pendant off his neck and swung it around. He restated surpassing the audience's imagination and how his father stole the hearts of his audience, too. Yuya remembered what Declan said about seeing further evolution in Pendulum Summoning, and was frustrated about how he couldn't see it, though. He went to Skip and asked what he should do, with Skip replying that he should move forward. Yuya commented that if he didn't know which path to take, he couldn't move forward. Later, while reading a magazine, Yuya remarked on how Zuzu was learning [[Fusion Summon]]ing from Sora. Dipper intercepted him, and they told each other to watch where they were going just before they recognized each other. Kit then reminded Dipper that they had to go. Yuya asked what happened, and Kit replied that Julia found the culprit of the recent attacks. The trio arrived at the crime scene, only to find Julia, Sora, and Zuzu with her cards scattered across the ground. Yuya asked Zuzu what was wrong, and she sobbed, saying she didn't know what's going on anymore. The LID security then arrived, and Julia ran toward them apologizing. Sora told Yuya and Zuzu they should probably go. Kit remarked to Yuya that he still needed two more matches to join the [[Junior Arc League Championship]]. Yuya asked how he knew that, and Kit replied that he wanted to say good luck, although it might be difficult for him, and he left. Yuya then noticed Zuzu's "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" on the ground, and guessed she accidentally forgot about it.<ref name="ep21">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|21|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
He was due to Duel [[Aura Sentia]] the next day, but slept in and arrived late, bumping his head on his desk and mixing up his cards at his house and cartwheeling down the stairs to land in a position to see up Aura's skirt. Aura whacked him on the head with her crystal apple for that. Yuya's bad luck continued into the Duel, drawing high-Level monsters and low Scales, leaving him with a dead hand and forcing him to pass, allowing Aura to take an early lead with her [[Flip Effect Monster]]s, and then her [[Ritual Monster]], "[[Prediction Princess Tarotrei (anime)|Prediction Princess Tarotrei]]." Fortunately, Yuya was able to draw "Timegazer Magician," allowing him to Pendulum Summon five powerful monsters and boost "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" to 3700 ATK, but his monsters were all frozen in Defense Position by the effects of Aura's Flip Monsters, which "Tarotrei" could freely trigger. Aura then had "Tarotrei" read Yuya's fortune, the Towers card, which indicated a destructive future for Yuya. Aura told him to stop the match to avoid that future.<ref name="ep22">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|22|ref}}</ref> Yuya refused to let his dream be ended there, but Aura used her Flip monsters to set up a combo that wiped the field of his Defense Position monsters and dealt him damage. She continued to urge him to surrender, even sealing Yuya's draw with "[[Draw Lock]]," which Yuya would need to dispel with an Action Card. Yuya began to search, eventually finding one as the chandelier of the Duel Field began to collapse around him. Sprinting hard, Yuya was able to grab the card and survive the fall, apparently having changed his future. He drew on the next turn, but he'd drawn Zuzu's "Polymerization," as was disheartened, believing that he couldn't use it. He then received a vision of [[Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|a sealed monster]], and he Pendulum Summoned again, then returned his "Magicians" to his hand and Summoned "Stargazer Magician," then fused it with "Odd-Eyes" to create "Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon," which was able to attack multiple times and win the Duel. He returned Zuzu's "Polymerization" to her, and they shared a touching moment that was broken up by the infatuated Aura, inciting swift rebuke from Zuzu.<ref name="ep23">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|23|ref}}</ref> He had to tell Sora that they wouldn't be having a party until Yuya had qualified for the Championship, much to Sora's disappointment.<ref name="ep24">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|24|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Waking up the next day, Yuya found both his house and the Duel School empty save Nico Smiley, who took him to the Strong Dojo to Duel Gong. Gong revealed that in order to get a serious match from Yuya, he'd arranged it so that they were both one win away from entering the Junior Arc League Championship, much to Yuya's shock. He didn't know if he could defeat Gong like that, but their Duel commenced on the "[[Sword's Cemetery]]" field that Gong had Dueled Kit on. Gong brought out his "Big Benkei" early, and Yuya fought back with "[[Performapal Silver Claw (anime)|Performapal Silver Claw]]," and Action Cards. But on his next turn, Gong Synchro Summoned "[[Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susanowo (anime)|Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susanowo]]."<ref name="ep25">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|25|ref}}</ref> Yuya was shocked that Gong had Synchro Summoned, and even more so when Gong's father attempted to stop the match, believing that Gong had stolen the technique. Gong revealed that he had instead requested instruction from Kit, and he drove Yuya back with "Susanowo." Yuya assembled a hasty defense by Pendulum Summoning, and he was only barely able to survive the turn. He Pendulum Summoned again, bringing out "Hip Hippo" so that he could Tribute Summon "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon," and was able to use his "[[Performapal Lizardraw (anime)|Performapal Lizardraw]]" to draw "[[Performapal Trump Witch (anime)|Performapal Trump Witch]]," thus allowing him to Fusion Summon "Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon." Though he defeated "Susanowo," Gong was able to revive it, so Yuya had to leap for an Action Card to pay the cost of his "[[Danger Draw (ARC-V)|Danger Draw]]," gambling everything on his next draw. He drew "[[Big Return]]," which allowed him to re-use his "Trump Witch's" effect to Fusion Summon "[[Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]," attacking to win the Duel. His friends, who had been secretly watching the Duel, congratulated him afterwards, including Gong, who reassured Yuya that he still had a chance to enter the Championship.<ref name="ep26"/><br />
<br />
===Arc League Championship===<br />
====First Round====<br />
The day of the Championship, Yuya stood on the bridge looking at the Dueling Arena, while swinging the pendant in front of him. He remembered the day before his father's Duel with the Sledgehammer. After the recollection, Yoko chided Yuya, telling him that she just got a call from Zuzu. She said that Yuya should be worrying there, pointing at the stadium. At the stadium, Yuya arrived just in time, butting heads with [[Grizzlepike Jones|Grizzlepike]], and he was selected to give the oath of fair play. Though he initially messed up, he composed himself and gave a speech about his father, earning the applause of the stadium. He was shocked to see [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]], the Duelist that had saved him from the LID top team, standing among LID students, who claimed that Shay had always been one of them. Yuya learned that his first match was to be against [[Sylvio Sawatari]] the next day. He watched Frederick, Allie, and Zuzu's Duels, supporting them all.<ref name="ep27">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|27|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep28">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|28|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep29">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|29|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
On the second day, a man carrying Gong's sash ran into Yuya, and another man snatched the sash up. Yuya and the first man gave chase, but Yuya had been lured into a trap by the two, who had been sent by Grizzlepike to harm Yuya, thus distracting Gong during the match. Yuya was able to not only defeat them and get the sash back, but also entertain them with his "Hippo" cards. He arrived at the match and threw Gong's sash to him, and watched as Gong proceeded to defeat Grizzlepike.<ref name="ep30">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|30|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya was up next against Sylvio, who vowed to defeat him based on false accusations. Yuya was worried when Sylvio claimed that Pendulum Summoning would be Yuya's downfall, remembering Sylvio's promise to obtain Leo Corporation developed Pendulum Cards. Sylvio used his new "[[Yosenju]]" cards to prevent Yuya from getting Action Cards, but Yuya was able to Pendulum Summon and counterattack with "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" and "[[Performapal Drummerilla (anime)|Performapal Drummerilla]]." However, true to his words, Sylvio proceeded to Pendulum Summon "[[Mayosenju Daibak (anime)|Mayosenju Daibak]]" and complete his "Yosen Lost Tornado" combo, using the effects of "[[Yosen Whirlwind (anime)|Yosen Whirlwind]]" and "[[Dizzying Winds of Yosen Village (anime)|Dizzying Winds of Yosen Village]]" to return Yuya's Pendulum cards to the Deck. Despite being cornered, with Pendulum Summoning being used against him, Yuya was enjoying the Duel, Setting his remaining cards and ending his turn, then dashing off to look for Action Cards, vowing that the Duel had only just begun.<ref name="ep31">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|31|ref}}</ref> He was able to use Sylvio's own card effects against him with his "[[Amnesia]]" [[Trap Card]], returning the "Yosenju" to the Deck in the End Phase. He still had to survive the turn, however, but had already located the "[[Big Escape]]" card, allowing him to end the Battle Phase, despite initially appearing to have been buried in the rubble of a building. He counterattacked next turn with "Drumming Kong," but Sylvio still had the ingredients to Pendulum Summon Tributes for "Daibak." Yuya was able to survive the turn, and both Duelists enjoyed the match immensely, Sylvio urging Yuya to Pendulum Summon next turn. Yuya was able to rouse the crowd by drawing "[[Magician Manipulation]]," replenishing his hand. He brought out "Odd-Eyes" again and boosted it over the ATK of "Daibak", but was unable to destroy it. He then used the effect of "[[Performapal Trump Witch (anime)|Performapal Trump Witch]]" to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]," and again traded blows with "Daibak." Sylvio obtained an Action Card that would win him the Duel should "Beast-Eyes" be destroyed, but Yuya had found "Miracle," allowing him to use the effect of "Beast-Eyes" to win the Duel. Afterwards, Sylvio generously offered to Duel Yuya any time, and they waved to the crowd as Yuya mused that this was the type of Duel that he'd been wanting, and wondered if he'd gotten closer to his father.<ref name="ep32">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|32|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
==== Meeting Yuto ====<br />
He and Zuzu watched Sora's Duel with Shay worriedly, since they knew Shay to have been the serial attacker on LID. He recognized Shay's [[Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius (anime)|monsters]] from when he'd encountered him, including "[[Raidraptor - Rise Falcon (anime)|Raidraptor - Rise Falcon]]," and warned Sora to be careful, proven correct when "Rise Falcon," decimated Sora's field and again created real shockwaves.<ref name="ep33">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|33|ref}}</ref> He watched in horror as the Duel continued and Sora revealed that his people had attacked Shay's homeland to hunt them for fun. As the Duel reached its climax, with Shay claiming victory, Yuya, horrified by the battlefield the Duel had descended into, begged them to stop, as this wasn't Dueling. Sora was injured by a falling building and hospitalized, Yuya desperately trying to reach him.<ref name="ep34">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|34|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
He remained with Zuzu and Gong at the hospital to keep an eye on Sora, where the three of them compared the facts, and Yuya learned about [[Yuto]], a Duelist who resembled him and the real culprit behind the attack on Sylvio. Yuya mused that the conflict between Sora's people and Shay's seemed to be larger than an inter-school rivalry, but before they could talk further, they overheard the guards looking for Sora, who had escaped. After calling Skip, Yuya headed off to Central Park, finding Sora Dueling Yuto. When Yuto Summoned "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]", Yuya realized that it could wipe Sora out if it used both of its [[Overlay Unit]]s, but Yuto only used one and attacked, showing mercy. Yuya ran over to Sora, trying to get him to rest, but Sora refused. Angered by Yuto hurting his friend, Yuya joined the Duel.<ref name="ep35">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|35|ref}}</ref> He Pendulum Summoned "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" on his first turn, but to his surprise, he experienced a burning sensation in his chest as it faced off against "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon." He attacked with the intent to destroy both monsters and revive "Odd-Eyes" next turn, but Yuto blocked the attack, playing around the effect of "[[Timegazer Magician (anime)|Timegazer Magician]]." Sora angrily told Yuya to get lost, claiming that Yuto was his prey. Yuya demanded answers, and learned that Shay and Yuto were from the [[Xyz Dimension]], and that Sora had been sent from [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]]. Before Sora could continue, he was forcibly returned to the [[Fusion Dimension]].<br />
<br />
[[File:ArcV 037.png|thumb|Yuya being entrusted with "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]".]]<br />
Yuto and Yuya called off the Duel, and Yuto explained about the four Dimensions to Yuya. Yuya was skeptical, but told Yuto that Dueling shouldn't be used for fighting as it was by the other Dimensions. They were interrupted by the arrival of a Duelist on a [[Duel Runner]], who crashed into a streetpost, and revealed that he too resembled Yuya and Yuto.<ref name="ep36">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|36|ref}}</ref> Introduced as a Pawn of Fusion, the Duelist stated that his ''name'' was [[Yugo]], and he quickly challenged Yuto to a Duel. Yuya watched the Duel in shock as the Duelists ran around agily, and experienced the same burning sensation when Yugo, a [[Synchro Summon|Synchro]] user, called out "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (anime)|Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]." The sensation intensified when Yuto retaliated with "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon," causing the two Duelists to become possessed and violent. Yuya managed to calm Yuto down, getting him to call off his attack, but was unsuccessful in calming Yugo, who proceeded to claim victory. Yuto saved Yuya from the shockwave, and Yuya ran to his defeated doppelganger, begging him to stay with him. Smiling, Yuto handed Yuya his glowing "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon," asking Yuya to use his power to bring Duels with smiles to the world, and both he and Yugo vanished in a glow of blue light. Yuya sat there in shock, collapsing as Zuzu arrived.<ref name="ep37">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|37|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
==== Second Round ====<br />
[[File:Zuzu sees Yuto's card.png|thumb|left|Yuya explained what happened to Yuto to [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]].]]<br />
Yuya remained unconscious for two days, and when he finally awoke, he was surprised to hear it. Zuzu informed him that the first round of the Arc League Championship was ending today. He learned that Aura had lost in an OTK, and that Frederick had also been defeated by Riley, who had used Synchro Summoning this time. When Zuzu mentioned that he might know all about Fusion, Synchro and Xyz Summoning, Yuya told her what Yuto had told him about the world being made up of four dimensions, and that the Fusion Dimension, where Sora lived, and the Xyz Dimension, where Yuto and Shay lived, were at war. He also told her that he had found Sora Dueling against Yuto, until he watched Sora disappear. Then he told her about Yugo, who also looked like him, and who Yuto had called a "Pawn of Fusion". He theorized that maybe Yugo had been the one who captured [[Lulu Obsidian|Lulu]], then went to look at the "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" card Yuto had given him. When Zuzu asked him about it, he said that Yuto had given it to him after saving him from "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon", and that he remembered nothing after that. He also wasn't sure what happened to Yuto, or why he gave him "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon". He expressed his confusion about why both Yuto and Yugo looked just like him, and was surprised when Zuzu told him that Lulu supposedly also looked like her. He realized that Shay may know something about the four dimensions, and they both went to Centre Court to ask him.<br />
<br />
When they arrived, Yuya was greeted by Gong, who hugged him, and Skip, who said that both he and Gong were really worried about him. Frederick, Allie and Tate also arrived and were happy to see that he was OK. Frederick apologized for losing his Duel against Riley, saying that he was so shocked by Riley's Synchro Summon that he got the shivers. Yuya consoled him by saying that he should give Riley the shivers next time, until he suddenly remembered Sora claiming that there were no second chances in battle, and froze. Aura then appeared, delighted that he had woken up, and went to kiss him, but he simply dodged her and went to talk to Julia, Dipper and Kit, who were also there. He asked to see Shay, as he had a lot of questions to ask him, but Kit told him that Shay wouldn't even give him the time of day. He suggested that Yuya and his friends should come and watch his next match, and they did. Yuya watched in shock as [[Iggy Arlo]], Kit's opponent, violently attacked him in competition for Action Cards and emerged as the victor. He was further amazed to discover that he would face Iggy in the next round. He reflected that Yuto had told him to make everyone smile with his Dueling, and he resolved to do so against Iggy.<ref name="ep38">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|38|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuto and Yuya.png|thumb|Yuya and Yuto merge together.]]<br />
After watching Gong's victory against [[Trick Tagart]], Yuya proceeded to Duel against Iggy. Iggy's violent Dueling method put Yuya at a disadvantage by preventing him from getting any Action Cards. Yuya finally managed to obtain one, but this came at the cost of his Life Points being reduced to 100. Cornered and at the edge of defeat, Yuya once again experienced a burning sensation in his chest and then saw of vision of Yuto, during which Yuto's soul merged with Yuya's. After this vision, Yuya [[Awakened|personality drastically changed]]. He used the Action Card he got to clear his cards and then Pendulum Summon "Performapal Camelump" and "Performapal Silver Claw", which he then used to Xyz Summon "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon", much to everyone's shock. Without any hesitation, Yuya used its effect to defeat Iggy, which stunned the whole audience. Once the Duel was over, Yuya returned to normal. Seeing Iggy kneeling in defeat, Yuya tried to help him stand, but Iggy rejected his help. Yuya then turned to his friends and the audience who were shocked by Yuya's actions, making Yuya question himself about what he had done.<ref name="ep39"/><br />
<br />
The next day, Yuya and the others were watching Zuzu's match. Unlike his friends, Yuya was not very enthusiastic in cheering Zuzu on because he was still depressed with his previous victory against Isao. However, Yuya started to regain his resolve when he saw the smiles on the audiences' faces while watching Zuzu's Dueling and once again remembering Yuto's words to Duel with smiles. Overcoming his depression, Yuya smiled happily at Zuzu when she won, finally regaining his spirit.<ref name="ep40">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|40|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
==== Battle Royal ====<br />
[[File:Yuya won against Makoto and Ken.png|thumb|left|Yuya wins against [[Nagi]] and [[Taka (ARC-V)|Taka]].]]<br />
At the final round of the championship, which was a Battle Royal Duel, Yuya was up against two Bandit Warrior Academy Duelists: Nagi and [[Taka (ARC-V)|Taka]]. Like in the Duel against Iggy, their violent Dueling methods not only prevented Yuya from getting Action Cards but also prevented him from attacking them. This quickly put Yuya at a disadvantage until a LID transfer student, [[Dennis McField]], saved him and joined the Duel as Yuya's tag partner.<ref name="ep42">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|42|ref}}</ref> Yuya was exasperated by Dennis' admiration for his father. With Dennis' help, the tide turned in their favor. Dennis allowed Yuya to finish the Duel. Yuya Pendulum Summoned "[[Performapal Silver Claw (anime)|Performapal Silver Claw]]" and "[[Performapal Whip Snake (anime)|Performapal Whip Snake]]". The moment he Summoned them, "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" appeared in Yuya's mind, which almost caused him to [[Awakened|Awaken]], if not for Dennis' moral support. Feeling assured, Yuya successfully Summoned "Dark Rebellion" without losing himself and defeated both Nagi and Taka with the help of Dennis' "[[Performage Trapeze Magician (anime)|Performage Trapeze Magician]]".<ref name="ep43">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|43|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Parting ways with Dennis, Yuya met Shay at the [[Quartet of Quandry|Ancient Ruins]]. Shay immediately asked Yuya what happened to Yuto and accused the former that he had done something to his comrade since Yuya had Yuto's "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon". Yuya answered that Yuto entrusted the card to him and told him to bring smiles with his Duels. Before Yuya could explain further, they were interrupted by the [[Knights of the Duel Disks]] Duelists, who were Dueling each other and purposely surrounded Shay so their attack would hit him without getting penalized. Yuya, who was beside Shay, also got caught in the attack and blown away. Sora and the [[Obelisk Force]] then appeared, shocking Yuya. He called out to Sora, but he was ignored.<br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya's Madness.png|thumb|Yuya challenges the [[Obelisk Force]].]]<br />
While Sora took Shay elsewhere to Duel, the Obelisk Force defeated the Knights of the Duel Disks members and sealed them into cards, horrifying Yuya. The event triggered a vision of Yuto's memory when Heartland was invaded.<ref name="ep44"/> Overwhelmed by the memory, Yuya succumbed to his rage and challenged the Obelisk Force. The enemies' cowardly tactics prevented Yuya from using Action Cards or avoiding their attacks. The Obelisk Force taunted Yuya by mockingly showing the Knight of Duels' Duelists' cards and told him he would share the same fate, enraging Yuya further. As Yuto's memory filled his mind, Yuya and Yuto's souls merged again, causing him to Summon "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" and attack the Obelisk Force. This started to panic the Obelisk Force, and they used their monsters to counterattack, reducing Yuya's LP to 800, but despite the damage he took, Yuya remained unfazed and instead smiled wickedly.<ref name="ep45"/><br />
<br />
[[File:ArcV 046.png|thumb|left|Yuya defeats the Obelisk Force.]]<br />
On his turn with 200 LP remaining, Yuya Pendulum Summoned "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and then used the Pendulum effects of "[[Xiangke Magician (anime)|Xiangke Magician]]" and "[[Xiangsheng Magician (anime)|Xiangsheng Magician]]" to make "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" a Level 7 monster. He overlaid "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" to perform a new Xyz Summon, Summoning "[[Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon]]" and defeated the Obelisk Force in an instant. However, even after defeating the Obelisk Force, Yuya proceeded to go to where Shay and Sora were, ignoring a falling pillar that would have crushed him had Gong not protected him. Gong and Aura took Yuya to the Jungle area where he was restrained by Gong, Reed, and Trout, while Aura used her crystal ball to see what was inside Yuya's heart. She found that there were two hearts inside him, along with a pitch black darkness. Yuya went unconscious and later awoke without remembering his Duel against the Obelisk Force. He then explained what happened prior to his Awakening state to Gong and the others. Hearing Aura's explanation about the presence of another heart inside him, Yuya realized that the other heart was none other than Yuto, and his anger for what happened during Duel Academy's invasion was what triggered his change. This made Yuya wonder why Yuto, who entrusted him "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" so he could make people smile with his Duels, would let him be overwhelmed by so much anger.<ref name="ep46">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|46|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuto's shadow.png|thumb|Yuya wondering about the darkness inside him.]]<br />
As he was resting, Yuya contemplated of Yuto's memories that he had saw and finally understood Yuto's anger and sadness, believing that Yuto wasn't lying when he said to make everyone and their future smile with his Duels and the one who was trying to consume him is the darkness that also within him. This made Yuya afraid for a moment until he was reminded by his father's encouraging words, making him even more resolute to Duel with the way he believed. Deciding to find his other friends out of worry, he and Gong split up with Reed and Trout. They were then approached by Dennis who informed them where Zuzu was, but Zuzu was transported with Yugo through her bracelet's power just as Yuya arrived.<ref name="ep47">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|47|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Make Everyone Duel With Smiles.png|thumb|left|Yuya remembering Yuto's words.]]<br />
Yuya and Gong continued their search at the Ancient Ruins, but didn't find Zuzu there and proceeded to the Volcano area, only to find Sora Dueling against [[Sun Shadow]]. Yuya immediately asked Sora to stop by shouting at him until Sora finally responded that they would talk after he defeated Sun Shadow, which angered Yuya. Gong stopped Yuya when he was about to interfere and pointed out [[Celina]], whom they mistook for Zuzu, Dueling against the Obelisk Force with [[Moon Shadow]] and Shay. Yuya started to be consumed by the darkness when he witnessed Reed and Trout being sealed [[Reed Pepper (card)|into]] [[Teppei Tairyobata (card)|cards]], followed by [[Sun Shadow (card)|Sun Shadow]], who lost to Sora. This caused Yuya to be momentarily taken over by darkness, and he angrily confronted Sora, telling him that he was wrong. However, Yuya returned to his senses after hearing Yuto's voice that reminded him of their wish. Determined to bring back Sora's smile, Yuya challenged Sora to a Duel, which Sora accepted. He took Yuya to another side of the area so no one could interfere with their Duel.<ref name="ep48"/><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya vs Sora 1.png|thumb|Yuya [[activate]]s "[[Flame Surge]]".]]<br />
Believing that Sora's smile when they first Dueled was genuine, Yuya tried to make Sora see the error of his view about Dueling, but Sora just ridiculed Yuya's belief and persisted that Dueling is to continue fighting. This made Yuya question if they were not friends anymore, which Sora confirmed because to him, his goal and victory was more important than friendship. This didn't stop Yuya from trying to change Sora's mind. He Xyz Summoned "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" and Pendulum Summoned "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" with "Xiangke Magician" and "Xiangsheng Magician". Yuya hesitated for a moment to Summon "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon", but decided to trust Yuto who told him to bring smile with Duel and Summoned it. The Xyz-Pendulum Monster excited Sora, and Yuya pointed out Sora's excitement to express that Dueling is for fun.<br />
<br />
[[File:ArcV 049.png|thumb|left|Yuya and [[Sora Perse|Sora]] try to reach the last [[Action Card]].]]<br />
Yuya attacked with "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon", which Sora countered with the Action Card "[[Flame Chain]]" to lower its ATK, but Yuya countered back with his own Action Card, "[[Flame Surge]]". As the attack of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" was about to hit, both Yuya and Sora tried to reach an Action Card, but the Battle Royal reached its time limit, dismissing the Action Field and thus leaving the Duel unfinished. Yuya finally noticed that the rest of his friends were present as well before calling out to Celina whom he still mistook as Zuzu until Celina made it clear herself. Thinking that Zuzu might have been turned into a card, he turned to Sora, but Sora returned to his own dimension before Yuya could question him. Declan then arrived, and Sylvio revealed that the Battle Royal served as a test to determine Duelists suitable to fight Duel Academy and the Fusion Dimension.<ref name="ep49">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|49|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Friendship Cup===<br />
[[File:Yuya cried for his friends.png|thumb|Yuya cries for the loss of his friends.]]<br />
Once Declan revealed that he had been watching the battle and let them fight to determine who could survive the battle against Duel Academy, Yuya broke into tears as he thought about Zuzu, Reed, Trout, and all the Duelists who had been and might have been turned into cards. A furious Yuya blamed Declan for what happened to the others and tried to punch him, but Declan easily caught his fist and instead proposed for them to Duel since they were Duelists, which Yuya accepted. Declan activated "[[Neo Heartland City]]" for them to Duel on, which reminded Shay of his homeland tragedy. Declan asked what happened before at Xyz Dimension, but Shay couldn't say it, prompting Declan to tell them what happened. However, before Declan could elaborate any further, both Yuya and Yuto, still in Yuya's body, shouted at him to stop and start their Duel.<ref name="ep50">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|50|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Declan immediately performed Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Summons at once and inflicted 2000 damage to Yuya with "[[D/D/D Flame King Genghis (anime)|D/D/D Flame King Genghis]]", slightly injuring him. Yuya asked Declan if he was satisfied with how many people were defeated and how many people survived from the Battle Royal, while declaring that they were not his puppets. Yuya then recalled how Zuzu helped him on his Pendulum Summoning and how she tried hard to become stronger, so he would do the same. He proceeded to FusionSummon "Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and "Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon". Declan revealed that he knew all along that Sora was from Duel Academy and speculated that Yuya's ability to Summon two new Fusion Dragons was possibly from Zuzu, who learned Fusion Summon from Sora, which meant that Yuya gained his Fusion Summon ability from Duel Academy. Yuya replied that he'd learned Fusion Summoning because he'd seen Zuzu learn Fusion Summoning to defeat Julia. He managed to destroy all three of Declan's monsters and inflict 2100 damage to Declan with "Rune-Eyes". However, before Yuya could use "Beast-Eyes" to land the finishing blow, Declan saved himself by activating the Trap Card "[[D/D/D Contract Change (anime)|D/D/D Contract Change]]" in order to negate the damage.<ref name="ep50" /><br />
<br />
Declan told Yuya that while he understood how strong Yuya's feelings for Zuzu were, feelings alone were not enough in true battle and he formed the Lancers so they could win without such naïve feelings. Yuya insisted that he had no intention to become a Lancer, but was surprised when Declan asked if he didn't want to save Zuzu, implying that Zuzu wasn't sealed in a card. He further goaded Yuya to fight by telling him to defeat him first before rescuing Zuzu from Duel Academy.<ref name="ep50" /> Yuya was shocked when both "Rune-Eyes" and "Beast-Eyes" were destroyed by Declan's "[[D/D/D]]" monsters. Yuya once again asked what happened to Zuzu, but Declan reminded him of their Dueling conditions. This triggered the memories of when Reed was sealed into a card and the tragedy of Xyz Dimension, causing Yuya to nearly Awaken, but he barely suppressed it. He Pendulum-Xyz Summoned "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" to destroy Declan's "[[D/D/D Wave Oblivion King Caesar Ragnarok (anime)|D/D/D Wave Oblivion King Caesar Ragnarok]]", but this came at the cost of "Odd-Eyes" that Declan had used to increase his monster's ATK, saving his LP.<ref name="ep51">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|51|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Declan counterattacked and successfully destroyed "Dark Rebellion" with "[[D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga (anime)|D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga]]", reducing Yuya's LP to 800 and also injured Yuya further. Gong and Aura intended to help him, but Yuya told them to stay back because this was his, Zuzu's, and Yuto's Duel. He stated his resolution that he would definitely save Zuzu and fulfill his promise with Yuto, declaring he must not lose to someone who would Duel for toying or hurting people. In a last ditch of effort to defeat Declan, Yuya Xyz Summoned "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" and seemingly gained the upper hand. Unfortunately, Declan used the effect of "Kali Yuga" to weaken "Odd-Eyes Rebellion" and increased his monster's ATK to destroy "Odd-Eyes Rebellion", defeating Yuya. Declan reminded Yuya that he couldn't save Zuzu with his naive resolution, but he would let him go since Yuya's mastery of Pendulum Summoning was necessary for Lancers to fight Duel Academy. Frustrated at his loss, Yuya swore that he needed to become stronger to save Zuzu.<ref name="ep51" /><br />
<br />
After the Duel, Yuya became despondent as he and the other Lancers appeared before the audience and Nico announced the winners of the Battle Royal. He remained in this state even as Henrietta and Declan explained the Lancers' formation. After the announcement, Celina gave Zuzu's clothes to Yuya and left with Declan. At sunset, Yuya, Aura, and Gong met with Yoko, Skip, Allie, Frederick, and Tate. The latter three congratulated Yuya and Celina (who they mistook for Zuzu) for winning the Battle Royale, but he did not return the sentiment. Yuya returned Zuzu's clothes to Skip and sadly explained that he couldn't protect her because she was taken to another dimension. He and Aura revealed that it was not Zuzu who was with them the whole time, but Celina, a girl who happened to somewhat resemble Zuzu. After the explanations, Yoko led Yuya away and told the others to come to an abandoned arcade. There, she ambushed them on a motorcycle, calling herself the leader of the Paradise Queens, "Shooting Star Yoko". She forced Yuya into a Duel with her, but he fled, and Yoko started to chase him and reveal her past. Eventually, Yuya agreed to the Duel. During the Duel, Yoko took control of his monsters with "[[Road Raven Red Queen]]" and attacked him with them. Through these attacks, Yoko told her son that his father, Yusho, was the one who saved her years ago.<ref name="ep52">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|52|ref}}</ref> She also reminded Yuya that he was missing the burning passion his father held. Yuya realized what his mother meant, and Pendulum Summoned "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" on his next turn, then used Yoko's "[[Smile World (anime)|Smile World]]" to power up his monsters and defeat Yoko.<ref name="ep53">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|53|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yoko congratulated Yuya on the victory and he renewed his vow to save Zuzu and Sora. The next day, Declan announced that the Lancers would be departing for the Synchro Dimension to recruit more allies. Using their upgraded Duel Disks and the "[[Dimensionizer]]" cards, the Lancers left the Standard Dimension.<ref name="ep53"/><br />
<br />
[[File:LancersArriveInSynchro.png|thumb|left|Yuya arriving in the Synchro Dimension with Celina, Sylvio, and Riley.]]<br />
Yuya, Celina, Sylvio, and Riley arrived at the Synchro Dimension, but they were separated from the other Lancers. There, [[Sector Security (ARC-V)|Sector Security]] ambushed them, as they mistook Yuya and Celina for the wanted Yugo and Zuzu. Yuya tried to reason that they just arrived, but Celina and Sylvio leaped headfirst into the Duel Sector Security forced them into, ignoring his warnings.<ref name="ep55">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|55|ref}}</ref> After Sylvio lost in an OTK, Yuya was forced to join as well and tried his best to protect Riley and get him to smile, despite his introverted personality, in addition to attempting to entertaining Sector Security. Despite Celina's victory, more Sector Security officers arrived and cornered the Lancers. Before Yuya's Duel could continue, [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|a Synchro user]] and other [[Turbo Duel]]ists grabbed him and the Lancers and escaped Sector Security.<ref name="ep56">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|56|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya and Crow argue.png|thumb|Yuya and [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]] argue over their different outlooks.]]<br />
The Synchro user, Crow Hogan, expressed his admiration for Yuya's defense of Riley, and offered for Yuya and the Lancers to stay at his place until events had calmed down. Yuya was somewhat displeased when Sylvio claimed that Yuya was his apprentice, and after Sylvio revealed where they'd come from, he backed him up. Two of the orphans that Crow took care of, [[Frank (ARC-V)|Frank]] and [[Tarren]], returned with stolen food, and as they were being told off by Crow, the orphans asked why Yuya and Celina had been at a cafe earlier. Yuya and Celina realized that the kids were talking about Zuzu and Yugo, and wanted to go and find them, but Crow explained about the class system of the [[Topsiders]] and the [[Commons (ARC-V)|Commons]] and that Sector Security would be looking for them. Crow offered to go and look for them himself.<ref name="ep57">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|57|ref}}</ref> Yuya remained at Crow's house, where Frank and Tarren explained the history of [[Turbo Duel]]ing to the Lancers. Crow returned empty-handed, so Celina decided to go and look herself after deeming Crow's efforts useless. Yuya protested, since Crow had already done so much for them, but Celina and Sylvio left regardless, though Yuya was able to stop Riley from leaving.<ref name="ep58">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|58|ref}}</ref> He and Riley remained at Crow's place for the next couple of days, Celina and Sylvio heading out each day to look for the Lancers. One of Crow's friends who had assisted in rescuing them, [[Shinji Weber]], arrived with food for the kids, and warned Yuya not to get the kids in trouble. As the kids ate, Yuya and Crow conversed about Riley's timid nature, but the conversation eventually devolved into an argument about what was most important; a full stomach or a smile on one's face, Yuya claiming that a full stomach meant nothing if you couldn't smile. Eventually, he and Crow decided to Duel to settle their argument.<br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya got caught.png|thumb|left|Yuya is captured by [[Sector Security (ARC-V)|Sector Security]].]]<br />
Yuya Pendulum Summoned on his first turn, and in response, Crow swarmed the field with his "[[Blackwing]]" monsters and Synchro Summoned "[[Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Sudden Shower (anime)|Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Sudden Shower]]". Their Duel was interrupted by Sector Security, who had tracked the returning Celina and Sylvio back to Crow's hideout. Sector Security arrested all the Lancers save Declan's younger brother, who was nowhere to be found, much to Yuya's panic.<ref name="ep59">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|59|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya was taken to the [[Facility (ARC-V)|Facility]], learning on the way that [[Moon Shadow]] had rescued Riley. Shinji, who had been captured as well, explained that there could only be one place that they were going. When they arrived at the Facility, Celina was taken to solitary confinement, and she cautioned Yuya not to make a scene. Yuya's Duel Disk was taken, but he was allowed to keep his Deck. The group were taken to a cell, where they met up with Gong and Dennis, who had been captured the previous day. Gong almost crushed Yuya in a powerful hug, and Dennis explained that Shay was in solitary confinement as well. The newcomers were bullied in the cafeteria and Yuya witnessed prisoners giving away their cards in exchange for preferential treatment. He was shocked to learn that Gong had done so, until Gong's lackeys explained that Gong had done so for them. The group were then taken to the boss of the prisoners, [[Chojiro Tokumatsu]], who ordered them to hand over their cards for preferential treatment, and Yuya refused, given that he wasn't planning on remaining in the prison. Chojiro decided to take them by force and Duel Yuya. He used his "[[Flower Cardian Lightshower (anime)|Flower Cardian Lightshower]]" to damage Yuya when he drew and his "[[Fraud Freeze (anime)|Fraud Freeze]]" [[Continuous Trap Card]] to prevent Yuya from Pendulum Summoning.<ref name="ep60">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|60|ref}}</ref> Yuya learned that Chojiro's combo prevented him from drawing his own cards, a stark departure from Chojiro's previous philosophy that Crow and Shinji informed the two of them of. In a tight spot, Yuya was able to set up an infinite loop that prevented him from taking damage when he drew, forcing Chojiro to draw cards. Chojiro and the watching prisoners began to enjoy the Duel, driving Yuya into a corner with "[[Flower Cardian Boardefly (anime)|Flower Cardian Boardefly]]", but Yuya was able to destroy Chojiro's Trap Card and set up a combo that allowed him to win.<ref name="ep61">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|61|ref}}</ref> The following day, [[Damon Lopez|Damon]], a friend of Crow and Shinji's was admitted, and Yuya received better treatment from Chojiro in the prison. Yuya learned that Crow was planning to escape from the prison and he tried to go along, but Crow refused to let him. Shinji and Chojiro convinced Yuya to take place in a Duel Tournament between Yuya, Chojiro and Sylvio, but Yuya was distracted for most of the tournament, until he saw Gong and Crow encouraging him and Dennis leaping into the prison's upper levels. Realizing that they were all going to escape, Yuya continued the Duel with passion, but events went awry when the guards discovered Crow, Damon and Shinji escaping. Yuya aided in restricting the guards with "Hippo Carnival", and was confronted by Chojiro, who was furious that Yuya had used the Duel for such purposes. Yuya explained about Zuzu to Chojiro, and Chojiro attempted to buy time for Yuya, but was saved by his lackies, who tossed rare cards all over the place to distract the guards. Yuya seized his chance to escape through the air duct that Damon had exposed, following Chojiro and Sylvio.<ref name="ep62">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|62|ref}}</ref> The group ended up on the roof, where they were challenged by the [[Stomptroopers]]. The group fled after an ineffectual attack by Sylvio, Yuya cushioning their fall with "Performapal Trampolynx". Gong intervened, but his attempted attack lock was broken by the Stomptroopers "[[Goyo King (anime)|Goyo King]]". Shay arrived and wiped out the Stomptroopers with "Raidraptor - Rise Falcon". Meeting up with Dennis, Crow, Damon, Shinji and Celina, the escapees began to swim away from the Facility, but they were arrested again by [[Jean Michel Roget]], the Director of Sector Security. Before they could be returned to the Facility, enforcers from the [[High Council]] requested that the Lancers and the accomplices be brought to them. The Council and Jean interrogated them, and Yuya explained their intentions and their origins, in addition to the conflict with Duel Academy. Declan, Riley, and Moon Shadow, who had already been talking with the Council, backed them up. The Council agreed to test the Lancers strength in the [[Friendship Cup]], and Jean suggested that Yuya be the opponent for Duel King [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack Atlas]]' exhibition match.<ref name="ep63">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|63|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
The Lancers were separated, though the Council reassured them that they would be unharmed, and Crow urged Yuya to crush Jack, who he called a traitor. Yuya asked [[Sam (ARC-V)|Sam]], his attendee, about Jack, though Sam was somewhat timid in his response. Yuya apologized for putting him on the spot. He entered the arena as a Turbo Duelist, concerned about Dueling while driving a [[Duel Runner]]. Jack entered the arena next, and while Yuya was irritated that Jack predicted how the match would go, he was intrigued by Jack claiming that his Dueling was entertainment. He was relived upon starting the Duel that the autopilot would allow him to Duel as he normally did. Jack brought out "[[Red Wyvern (anime)|Red Wyvern]]" on his first turn and urged Yuya to come at him with all he had, and Yuya in response, performed both a Pendulum-Fusion and Pendulum-Xyz Summon to bring out "Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon". He used the Action Card "[[Mirror Barrier (Action Card)|Mirror Barrier]]" to block Jack's retaliation and dropped him to 300 LP in one shot with "Dark Rebellion". Jack used his own Action Card, "[[Evasive Evasion]]", to block Yuya's final attack with "Rune-Eyes" and revived "Red Wyvern" and the Tuner monster "[[Red Resonator (anime)|Red Resonator]]".<br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya loses to Jack.png|thumb|Yuya loses to [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack]].]]<br />
Dropping back, Jack told Yuya that his Dueling was only self-satisfactory, and far from entertainment, then he proceeded to Synchro Summon "[[Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend]]" and wipe Yuya's field with its effect, then attack directly for the win, blasting Yuya from his Duel Runner.<ref name="ep64">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|64|ref}}</ref> Yuya was furious that Jack had badmouthed his father's Dueling, and he yelled at Jack not to make fun of it before passing out and being taken to his quarters in the penthouse.<br />
<br />
Yuya woke up in the penthouse, where he pondered his loss to Jack, who hadn't just won, but had dictated the flow of the Duel. He was greeted by the High Council via hologram. They explained that he would stay in the penthouse as a participant in the Friendship Cup; the Duel with Jack having been only an exhibition match, Yuya was still in the tournament. They cautioned him that this would not be the case if he lost again. Yuya noticed "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" resonating, and he theorized that they were reacting to Yugo's "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (anime)|Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]". Realizing that Zuzu must be in the penthouse as well, he passionately vowed to rescue her, no matter what. Sam then approached the room, sliding a "[[Tuning Magician (anime)|Tuning Magician]]" through the doorframe and asking Yuya to return it to Jack and defeat him. Sam claimed that Jack's time at the top had made him arrogant to the point of giving Sam the low-ATK, low-Level card and telling him that it suited him best.<ref name="ep65">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|65|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya later watched the first Duel of the tournament between Gong and Crow. He was surprised when Gong became the first person to pull off a Pendulum-Synchro Summon, and while he was disappointed to see Gong lose to Crow, he was encouraged to see that the crowd were cheering in unison, as opposed to being up in arms over their differing opinions of Jack.<ref name="ep66">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|66|ref}}</ref> He wondered in horror if Gong would be returned to the Facility, and when the door began to open, he panicked, wondering if it was his turn to Duel next, since he hadn't found a way to Duel without self-satisfaction yet. Fortunately, it was simply Chojiro that had came to visit, having bribed his way out of his room with a rare card. Chojiro explained that he'd heard a rumor that the losers in the Friendship Cup would be sent to the [[Underground Labor Facility]] to do forced labor, where captured escapees were also sent and from where no-one had returned. Yuya was horrified by the existence of such a place and worried about Gong. He then learned from the announcements that Riley would be Dueling Shinji next, and he disapproved of Riley Turbo Dueling and even being in the tournament. Riley suddenly burst into the room and tightly hugged Yuya, refusing to Duel against Shinji. Declan entered and Yuya furiously asked him why he was making Riley fight, and why he'd forced Riley to come with them. Declan admitted that he'd told Riley to accompany them, as he needed to gain experience and was necessary in the fight against Duel Academy. Yuya told Declan to shut up, and stated that Riley had been terrified and lonely since they'd arrived in the Synchro Dimension, trying to find Declan. Yuya vowed not to let Riley fight, and to protect him himself if Declan wouldn't. Declan then asked Riley why he wouldn't Duel, and Riley explained that Shinji had been kind to him. Declan realized that Riley didn't want to Duel a friend and ordered Moon Shadow to Duel instead. He left, and Riley panicked and ran after him. Declan explained that he was pleased, not angry, since this meant that Riley's sense of self was growing. Yuya was confused by the term, and he tried to get Declan's little brother to stay with him, knowing that Declan would make him fight in the future, but Chojiro told him to let Riley be, since forcing Riley to stay with Yuya would be contradictory to his original statement of Declan not forcing him, and since Riley probably liked Declan more than Yuya. At Sam's request, Yuya returned to his room, and he turned to confront Declan again in anger, but the door closed and locked him in.<ref name="ep67">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|67|ref}}</ref> He also watched Zuzu's Duel with Chojiro, and realized that Zuzu was trying to reach out to him. He was happy that Zuzu was able to win, but regretful that Chojiro was sent to the underground labor facility.<ref name="ep69">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|69|ref}}</ref> His concerns were renewed after Celina's victory against [[Tony Simmons]], and in disgust he derided the idea of the Friendship Cup.<ref name="ep70">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|70|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
He Dueled against [[Officer 227]] in the second day of the Friendship Cup, and his entrance was booed by the crowd. Yuya attempted to protest against the Friendship Cup for sending the losers to do forced labor, but to his utter shock neither the crowd of Commons nor [[Melissa Trail]] saw anything wrong with that. 227 urged Yuya to either Duel him or surrender, and Yuya traded blows with the Duel Chaser's "[[Goyo]]" Synchro Monsters, but briefly hesitated before making a game-winning attack with "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon", allowing 227 to seal Yuya's attacks with "[[Battle Lock]]". To his surprise, 227 brought out a Fusion Monster, "[[Goyo Emperor (anime)|Goyo Emperor]]", and took control of most of Yuya's field. The crowd's bloodlust for battle rather than entertainment briefly set Yuya off, causing his eyes to glow while [[Awakened]]. Yuya then consciously Special Summoned "[[Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon]]", used its effect to destroy "Goyo Emperor", reclaimed control of his monsters, then brutally attacked with "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" for the win, deliberately knocking 227 off his Duel Runner. Initially downcast at the win, Yuya attempted to stop the staff from taking the injured 227 away.<ref name="ep71"/> He was returned to his room by Sam, and didn't pay attention to the next Duel between Yugo and Sylvio until Yugo Synchro Summoned "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (anime)|Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]". Yuya's "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" began to react to "Clear Wing", and Yuya began mimicking Yugo's moves and words, while during the Turbo Duel, Yugo took on some of Yuya's mannerisms. The effects ended after Yugo was victorious, and Yuya watched helplessly as Sylvio was taken away.<ref name="ep72"/><br />
<br />
Yuya watched the Duel between Damon and [[Sergey Volkov]], and he was shocked by the sudden and brutal climax that resulted in Damon's defeat. Moon Shadow approached his room, explaining that Declan was not abandoning the other Lancers to the underground and that he had lost to Shinji on purpose to collect information. He then delivered a message from Riley, encouraging Yuya to defeat Jack and ensure that the people of the Synchro Dimension would listen to them, adding that Jack had told Riley not to hesitate when trying to attain a goal. Yuya attempted to pass a message onto Riley, but Moon Shadow explained that he could not, since Riley had returned to the main hall. Yuya instead had Moon Shadow give a letter to Zuzu, reassuring her that he would win the tournament in order to bring smiles to the people of New Domino, and to return home with their comrades.<ref name="ep73">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|73|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Awakened Yuya 75.png|thumb|left|Yuya awakened after learning Dennis' secret.]]<br />
He was surprised when he realized that the last match of the first round was between two Lancers; Shay and Dennis. Yuya wondered if the purpose of the match was to create internal conflict. He was surprised when Shay vowed to show Dennis's true colors, especially when he realized how similar the Duel was to Shay's Duel with Sora.<ref name="ep74">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|74|ref}}</ref> He was shocked when Dennis revealed that he was from Duel Academy, protesting that it couldn't be true, and suffered an even greater shock when Dennis revealed that he had orchestrated both the Invasion of the Xyz Dimension and Lulu's kidnapping. The reminder of the events Awakened Yuto inside Yuya, and Yuto revealed his anger to Yuya, asking if he understood it. Yuya agreed that he did, and briefly Awakened, but he calmed down and reaffirmed his wish to bring smiles to New Domino. Yuya begged Shay to stop as he brutally beat Dennis down using "[[Raidraptor - Satellite Cannon Falcon (anime)|Raidraptor - Satellite Cannon Falcon]]".<ref name="ep75">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|75|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Friendship Cup Finals===<br />
Yuya watched the Duel between [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]] and [[Sergey Volkov]], cheering for her in his room. He noted that Sergey was up to something with his odd strategy of steadily wearing down his own LP and he was horrified after witnessing Zuzu's brutal defeat.<ref name="ep77">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|77|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
He angrily wondered whether she was okay and why no-one was searching for her, but he was then called to Duel [[Shinji Weber|Shinji]]. Worried about Zuzu, Yuya tried to talk to Shinji out of the idea of revolution against the Tops, but he was unable to convince him, and Shinji explained that as a loser, Zuzu would be discarded, which was why he wanted to change New Domino's society. He told Yuya to win the Duel if he wanted to get his message across. Yuya was unable to concentrate on his Duel because he was still worried about Zuzu. He tried to end the Duel quickly by using "[[Gap Power]]" to strengthen his monsters, but was unable to. Shinji rallied the Commons and chastised Yuya for using the card's effect wastefully. After a few turns [[Sora Perse|Sora]] called him from a rooftop which surprised Yuya, showing him that Zuzu was okay by showing him her helmet. Trusting in Sora's message that Zuzu was fine, Yuya continued the Duel.<ref name="ep78">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|78|ref}}</ref> Taking a chance with "[[Match Pump]]", he drew the "[[Tuning Magician (anime)|Tuning Magician]]" that [[Sam (ARC-V)|Sam]] had given to him. Shinji and the crowd mocked Yuya's use of the card when Yuya used the effect of "Tuning Magician" to reduce his LP and heal Shinji's, but Yuya replied that no card was useless. He survived Shinji's "[[Battlewasp - Hama the Conquering Bow (anime)|Battlewasp - Hama the Conquering Bow]]" for the second time with a last-second Action Card and drew "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" on his next turn, wondering what to revive. Seeing "Tuning Magician" in his mind, Yuya decided to trust in "Tuning Magician". This trust allowed him to create "[[Enlightenment Paladin (anime)|Enlightenment Paladin]]", which he proceeded to [[Pendulum]]-[[Synchro Summon]] for the first time and use to defeat Shinji by re-using "Gap Power" to use the effect of "Tuning Magician" to his advantage.<ref name="ep79">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|79|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
After his victory, Sam met Yuya as he returned to the Duel Palace. The [[Topsiders]] thanked Yuya as he "stopped" Shinji's drivel about the revolution, while the [[Commons (ARC-V)|Commons]] expressed their hatred for Shinji's defeat. Yuya realized that he put the victory over his Dueltaining so he could reach Jack and that had deepened the commotion between him and the Commons. Shinji returned and at the same time, [[Jean Michel Roget]] approached Yuya as he was impressed by the Duel, especially when Yuya Pendulum-Synchro Summoned. The Commons suspected that Yuya had connections to the Topsiders and [[Sector Security (ARC-V)|Sector Security]] and that this was why Yuya had been chosen as [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack]]'s opponent earlier despite being unknown in New Domino. Roget defended Yuya saying that he just believed in his potential, due Yuya's Pendulum Summoning.<ref name="ep80">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|80|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:RogerYuya00-0.png|thumb|[[Jean Michel Roget]] congratulates Yuya for his victory.]]<br />
Roget claimed that it was best for Yuya to test Pendulum Summoning in his Duel with Jack, where Roget expected Jack's victory. Shinji accused the match of being fixed, but Roget put him in his place and sent Shinji to the [[Underground Labor Facility]]. Although Shinji was vowing revenge on Yuya, Yuya vowed in turn to rescue Shinji from the Underground, claiming that he wouldn't abandon him. Remembering seeing Sora, Yuya attempted to leave on his Duel Runner to look for Zuzu but a Sector Security officer blocked him. Roget told the officer to let him go. Yuya escaped the Duel Palace and started to call for Sora all over New Domino, not knowing that he was being followed by an officer. Sora found Yuya and the two of them hid.<ref name="ep80" /><br />
<br />
[[File:SacrificeForSora-0.png|thumb|left|Yuya saves Sora from [[Sector Security (ARC-V)|Sector Security]].]]<br />
Sora explained that Zuzu was alive and he kept her in a safe place. He also explained his objectives since the Battle Royal and why he was in the Synchro Dimension: to save Zuzu. Sora had looked unsuccessfully for Zuzu at Duel Academy and had learned that Leo also wanted Zuzu and Celina, so he returned to Standard Dimension only to learn that Declan formed the Lancers, so he came to the Synchro Dimension. After hearing of Dennis' connection in Lulu's disappearance, he sent Dennis back to Duel Academy to protect Zuzu. Yuya told him that since he sent Dennis back, Duel Academy would know that Zuzu and Celina were in the Synchro Dimension, but Sora interrupted that Duel Academy would know anyway since the Obelisk Force may come in the Synchro Dimension soon. Sora proposed to Yuya to bring Celina to Sora while he handed over Zuzu to Yuya. Yuya disagreed because he could not abandon Celina.<ref name="ep80" /> Yuya swore to defeat Duel Academy and hoped that Sora would open his eyes soon. Yuya saw an officer from a rooftop who attempted to trap Sora in an energy net. Yuya pushed Sora out of the way and got caught instead. Yuya told Sora to protect Zuzu; as Sora left, Yuya wished him luck.<ref name="ep80" /><br />
<br />
Yuya was brought to Roget's office, where he explained his plans of domination over the Synchro Dimension. Roget admits he admires Yuya, to the point where he states Yuya will make a finer choice as King than Jack; Yuya reluctantly refused. Throughout his explanation, Roget attempted to convince Yuya that his and Yuya's vision of the future were the same. He even tried to get Yuya to turn against Sora,<ref name="ep81">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|81|ref}}</ref> though that fell on deaf ears. When Roget ordered Zuzu's capture, Yuya tried to stop him. Roget then ordered Yuya be sent away,<ref name="ep82">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|82|ref}}</ref> where he will be put under the same [[Mind Control Chip|mind control program]] as Sergey.<ref name="ep83">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|83|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
During his captivity, Yuya noticed "Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon" glowing and began to [[Synchronize (ability)|synchronize]] with Yugo's mind again after Yugo Summoned "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon" during his Duel with Celina. The two subsequently yelled Yuya's own catchphrase.<ref name="ep84">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|84|ref}}</ref> During the Duel, they mimicked each others' moves, words, and mannerisms again. Near the end of the Duel, Yuya and Yugo [[Synchro Summon]]ed a new dragon, "[[Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon (anime)|Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon]]" to win the Duel.<ref name="ep85">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|85|ref}}</ref> After their synchronization was over, Yuya started to become aware of the power and thought back to when his, Yuto, and Yugo's dragons were resonating with each other. He was then released from his cell to take part in the next Duel against Crow.<ref name="ep86"/><br />
<br />
[[File:Awakened Yu's.png|thumb|Yuya and his counterparts all Awakened at the same time.]]<br />
Before their Duel started, Crow apologized to Yuya for suspecting that him and the Lancers were working with the Topsiders. Yuya then told Crow that Roget had captured Declan and Riley and planned to take over New Domino. Crow agreed to help Yuya and they planned to have Yuya escape during the Duel to rescue everyone in the Capital Building. Before Yuya could escape, Roget activated the [[Electric Shock Chip|chip]] he placed in Yuya's helmet, which tortured Yuya through electrocution. After using it at maximum, Yuya's pain caused him to synchronize with Yuto, Yugo, and [[Yuri]], and caused all four of them to [[Awakened|Awaken]]. This also caused him to Duel ferociously against Crow, who began to doubt Yuya again, and Summon out both "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon".<ref name="ep87"/> After Crow blocked Yuya's attempt to use the effect of "Dark Rebellion", Yuya brought out "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon", causing power outages across New Domino. This inadvertently endangered Yuya; Roget had attempted to manipulate the track to aid Yuya and the power loss had caused a gap to appear in the track. Yuya was able to pass over by equipping "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" with "[[Supreme Wing]]", but the chip in Yuya's helmet was continuously activating and putting his life at risk. After the situation was explained to him by Sora, Crow Summoned "[[Assault Blackwing - Chidori the Rain Sprinkling (anime)|Assault Blackwing - Chidori the Rain Sprinkling]]" and managed to destroy "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon", but the effect of "Supreme Wing" defeated Crow. Yuya fell unconscious after the Duel and woke to see Crow urging Yuya to protect Celina from the invaders before Crow was taken to the Underground Labor Facility. Realizing that Duel Academy forces may have begun to arrive, Yuya exited the stadium on his Duel Runner in order to confront them.<ref name="ep88">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|88|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya quickly realized that the [[Obelisk Force]] had indeed arrived in the Synchro Dimension, and he drove down the streets looking for Sora and Celina. When he saw a signal flare, he realized that it might mark the location of Celina as signaled by the Obelisk Force. He arrived on his Duel Runner just in time to rescue Riley and Celina from three of the Obelisk Force.<ref name="ep89">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|89|ref}}</ref> He defeated the Obelisk Force soldiers with "Dark Rebellion", "Odd-Eyes", and "Enlightenment Paladin" before encountering Barrett. Barrett demanded that Yuya hand Celina over, but Yuya refused. Yuya drew "[[Smile World (anime)|Smile World]]", the card his mother gave to him before leaving for the Synchro Dimension.<ref name="ep90">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|90|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya Chained Up.png|thumb|left|Yuya, chained up due to the effect of "[[Beastborg Medal of the Crimson Chain]]", talking to Zuzu.]]<br />
Barrett used his Trap Cards, "[[Beastborg Medal of the Steel Chain]]" and "[[Beastborg Medal of the Crimson Chain]]", to seal Yuya's attacks and lower his LP. Throughout their Duel, Barrett tried to convince Yuya to give up and divulge Zuzu's location and Celina to return with him. Yuya refused to comply and repeated his resolve and determination to prevent Celina's and Zuzu's capture. When the Obelisk Force tried to capture Celina, Sora saved her but [[Yuri]] arrived with three more Obelisk Force soldiers to capture both of them, Yuya was surprised to see his final counterpart. Yugo arrived as well to Duel Yuri and when they Summoned "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon" and "[[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (anime)|Starving Venom Fusion Dragon]]", the presence of the [[Four Dimensional Dragons]] caused Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri to Awaken and synchronize again.<ref name="ep91">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|91|ref}}</ref> While synced, Yuya and his counterparts start shouting that they waited for this time to become one and for a revival. But when Zuzu arrived her bracelet teleported Yuri and Yugo away, and returned Yuya to his senses. Yuya became upset when he realized that Zuzu was with him, knowing that the situation got worse since what Duel Academy wanted is now in front of their eyes. Barrett saw the pointlessness of the Duel and offered to end it, but decided to go on, touched by Yuya's actions and bravery. This also caused Barrett to gain respect for Yuya's resolve. Their Duel got interrupted by Sergey, who trapped Zuzu with his [[Field Spell Card]], "[[Earthbound Prison (anime)|Earthbound Prison]]".<ref name="ep92">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|92|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya was desperate to free Zuzu from "Earthbound Prison" and even got injured while doing so. He was alarmed, but did not leave Zuzu's side as Barrett lost to Sergey and took Celina back to Duel Academy. Zuzu became afraid of Yuya after seeing him Awakened again, upset that she did not want to see Yuya lose himself. With Barrett gone and knowing that he had to end the Duel soon due to his low LP, Yuya understood that he was not in a position to bring smiles to people and made the heartbreaking decision to abandon his smile philosophy. Without hesitation, he sent "Smile World" to the Graveyard to pay for the cost of "[[Magical Thunder]]" and destroy "Earthbound Prison". This action surprised Sora, as they were both aware that Yuya would take further damage in destroying that card. The only remnant of Yuya's smile philosophy was to successfully protect Zuzu and make her happy and smile at all costs. Despite Yuya's best efforts, he was eventually defeated by Sergey, who used the effect of "[[Earthbound Servant Geo Gryphon (anime)|Earthbound Servant Geo Gryphon]]" to destroy "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" after the latter destroyed the former, then had "[[Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken (anime)|Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken]]" attack him directly.<ref name="ep92"/><br />
<br />
After reuniting with Gong, Sylvio, and Chojiro, Yuya defended Sora from Sylvio's accusations, and explained that Celina and Zuzu were captured by Barrett and Sergey, respectively. He also revealed that Roget was a defector of Duel Academy who planned to use Zuzu as a bargaining chip to protect New Domino and his plans to turn the Synchro Dimension into his own kingdom. Yuya tried to go with Sora and Moon Shadow to get Zuzu back, but was dissuaded by Moon Shadow, who was the most injured out of the three, preventing him from going further. Yuya was shocked to see Yugo out of the tournament and Sergey Dueling Jack. Gong and Chojiro ended up giving in to Yuya, and Gong supported Yuya's body as they began their journey to follow Sora and Moon Shadow. During Jack's and Sergey's Duel, the duo was surprised to see Sergey transform into a Dueling machine.<ref name="ep93">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|93|ref}}</ref> While still on the move, Yuya and Gong notices how Sergey pushes Jack into a corner but continues to hold his own. After watching Jack saved Sergey from falling off the Duel lane, Yuya watched as the Commons cheered Jack on, especially after he defeated Sergey.<ref name="ep94">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|94|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:ArcV 095.png|thumb|Yuya vows to bring smiles back to the [[Commons (ARC-V)|Commons]] and challenges Jack to a Duel.]]<br />
After Sergey and Jack's Duel, the Commons continued to riot. During this time, Roget announced martial law throughout New Domino. In the middle of the speech, Zuzu knocked him to the ground and told Yuya how she truly felt about the situation at hand. After hearing Zuzu's words, Yuya intended to go save her, but Gong stopped him and told him to leave the job to Sora and Moon Shadow. Sam appeared and told him that Jack was not impressed with his Duel with Crow. Jack also instructed Sam to tell Yuya, if that wasn't the Duel he truly believed in, to come to the Duel Palace and challenge him to a Duel. Yuya remembered what Zuzu had told him and started to head towards the Duel Palace. Though the rioting Commons were in his way, he eventually reunited with Frank, Amanda, and Tarren and told them that Celina had returned with Barret to Duel Academy. Despite hearing this, they led him to the entry of the Duel Palace, where a group of Commons were rioting trying to get in, with Sector Security holding them back. After hearing Yuya was trying to enter the Duel Palace, the Commons turned against Yuya under the belief he was with the Topsiders. At this time, Gong promised Yuya to put his life on the line in order to get Yuya to the palace. Just then Shay, Chojiro, Sylvio, Declan, and Riley appeared while riding Shay's "[[Raidraptor]]s". Yuya jumped on and rode with them to the Duel Palace, where [[Melissa Trail]] was waiting and started a news report on what was going on. Suddenly, Sylvio snatched Melissa's microphone and handed it to Yuya, telling him to inform the public about how he really felt. Yuya did so and told New Domino that he would Duel Jack and make them smile with their Duel.<ref name="ep95">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|95|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya initially mocked Jack for not claiming how many turns he would win, only to be rebuked by Jack. He countered that that he would never surrender because he carried the will and wishes of all the people he defeated, including Shinji and Crow. The two were surprised to hear his declaration. The Duel began with Jack Summoning the same monsters he did during their first Duel. Yuya realized that Jack was asking how much he grew since the eve of the tournament. Yuya responded by Pendulum Summoning "[[Timebreaker Magician (anime)|Timebreaker Magician]]" and "[[Performapal Radish Horse (anime)|Performapal Radish Horse]]". Using the effect of "Radish Horse", he strengthened "Tiebreaker" and weakened "Red Wyvern" and followed up with "Smile World". During this time, Yuya spoke of his "inheritance" from Yusho, making Jack tut with disapproval and disappointment. Jack blocked the attack of "Timebreaker" with "[[King's Synchro (anime)|King's Synchro]]" and Summoned "Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend". However, the Duel was interrupted by a squad of Duel Chasers.<ref name="ep96">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|96|ref}}</ref> Hugely disappointed of his expectations for Yuya and angry and annoyed with Roget's selfishness as well as the attempted interruption of the Duel Chasers, Jack activated the effect of "Scarlight" to defeat the Duel Chasers in an OTK, but Yuya managed to escape with the Action Card, "[[Acceleration]]". Jack made it clear to Yuya that he expected him to Duel with his own style, not just copy from his father.<ref name="ep97">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|97|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya eventually took a direct attack from "Scarlight", but due to the damage he took, he activated the Action Card "[[Double Draw]]" to draw two cards. Jack ordered Yuya to surrender, but Yuya realized if he surrendered now, he would be denying his father's Dueltaining. Refusing to let that happen, he continued the Duel and drew "Tuning Magician." He Pendulum Summoned "Radish Horse" and "Timebreaker Magician" from his Extra Deck and Normal Summoned "Tuning Magician", taking further damage through its effect. Yuya tuned the three monsters to Synchro Summon "Enlightenment Paladin" and used its effect to recover "Smile World". He also revealed that he was grateful for Jack granting him a Synchro Monster but that he could never turn his back on his father's Dueling. Jack continued to observe him disdainfully.<ref name="ep97" /><br />
<br />
Yuya attempted to destroy "Scarlight" by battle, but failed. He reflected that he knew Jack's words of his style being borrowed were true; Yuya borrowed Yusho's Dueling style, while "Tuning Magician" was borrowed from Sam. In Jack's next turn, he tried to destroy "Enlightenment Paladin", once with its effect, and again by battle, but Yuya protected it with the Pendulum Effects of "[[Performapal Bubblebowwow (anime)|Performapal Bubblebowwow]]" and "[[Performapal Gumgumouton (anime)|Performapal Gumgumouton]]". Jack remarked how nice it would have been if Pendulum Effects were his breakthrough. This made Yuya stop and remember [[Skip Boyle|Skip]]'s words and lessons that Yuya must be the example of other people for being the pioneer of Pendulum Summoning, just as his father was the pioneer of Action Duels, and in turn, Yuya realized that Pendulum Summoning was his own doing, not borrowed from someone else. This growth and sudden realization of the truth and answer activated his pendant, granting Yuya the image of a new monster. Yuya declared to Jack he found his words and Jack told him to shout it out. On his next turn, Yuya Pendulum Summoned "[[Performapal Cheermole (anime)|Performapal Cheermole]]". To Jack and [[Melissa Claire]]'s profound shock, Yuya tuned "Enlightenment Paladin" to "Cheermole" to Synchro Summon "[[Nirvana High Paladin (anime)|Nirvana High Paladin]], the first Synchro/Pendulum Monster Summoned without a Tuner. Jack's face broke into a secretive knowing, but pleased, smile and called Yuya "interesting." The tide turned to grant Jack the Duel he expected from Yuya at the beginning of their rematch.<ref name="ep97" /><br />
<br />
Yuya almost successfully managed to destroy "Scarlight" with "Nirvana High", but Jack protected "Scarlight" with "[[King Scarlet (anime)|King Scarlet]]", despite taking damage in the process. Happy with Yuya's growth and the birth of "Nirvana High", Jack jumped off to another Duel lane under construction and flew across the gap like Crow did, while he [[Double Tuning|double tuned]] "Scarlight" with "King Scarlet and "[[Mirror Resonator (anime)|Mirror Resonator]]" to Synchro Summon "[[Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend]]". This action further shocked the audience at the Duel Palace, as well as Yuya, Frank, Amanda, Tanner, Sam, and Chojiro. No one expected Jack to actually have a hidden upgrade to his ace monster and the fact that he may have been concealing the true extent of his strength up until now. "Tyrant" managed to destroy all of Yuya's cards with its effect, but the effect of "Nirvana High" allowed Yuya to place it in his Pendulum Zone. Jack attempted to finish off Yuya again, but Yuya attempted to use the Action Card "Evasion" to negate the attack, though "Tyrant" negated it and continued the attack. In response, Yuya Special Summoned "[[Acrobatic Magician (anime)|Acrobatic Magician]]" to protect himself. Its destruction allowed Yuya to place it in his other Pendulum Zone. Jack thought that this was all on Yuya's expectations, but with Yuya's reply that it wasn't and all he was doing was trying his best, Jack became even more pleased and taught Yuya more about the essence of Dueling.<ref name="ep97" /><br />
<br />
Through Jack's words, Yuya finally learned what it meant not to Duel with self-satisfaction and arrogance and understood what Jack was talking about from the start of their encounter. He grew because of the people he faced and Dueled against and remembered his parents, Skip, Zuzu, Gong, Yuto, Sora, Crow, Shinji, Aura, and all the people he's faced in Duels before. Jack told Yuya to show him that he learned, and Yuya drew "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" on his next turn. Through "Acrobatic Magician" and "Nirvana High", Yuya performed a full-field Pendulum Summon of five monsters at once with a brilliant rainbow burst: "Odd-Eyes", "Timebreaker", "Radish Horse", "Bubulldog", and "Rubber Mutton". This stupefied the crowd at the Duel Palace to silence and amazed Jack, Melissa, Frank, Amanda, Tarren, Sam, and Chojiro.<ref name="ep98" /><br />
<br />
Yuya activated "Smile Word" and additionally used the effect of "Radish Horse" to strengthen Odd Eyes" and weaken "Tyrant". Jack responded by activating the Trap Card, "[[Over the Red]]" to banish "Scarlight" in his Graveyard, and increase the ATK of "Tyrant" to 10000. Yuya then activated the Pendulum Effect of "Nirvana High", which allowed him to prevent the monster with the lowest Level, "Timebreaker", to not be destroyed by battle, negate the battle damage, and decrease the attack target's ATK by the attacking monster's ATK. "Timebreaker" attacked and Tyrant ended with 8000 ATK. The effect of "Nirvana High" also allowed Yuya to continue decreasing the ATK of "Tyrant" by using the monster with a Level higher than the previous one. By now, the entirety of New Domino becomes focused on the Duel and in Yuya's actions. Helicopters, monorails, and cars raced to the Dueling site with Tops and Commons alike watching it live with their very own eyes. Crow, Shinji, Damon, and Tony also appeared in their Duel Runners and encouraged Yuya. Officer 227 also came with his colleagues with [[Lucas Swank]] handcuffed and riding in a car to watch Yuya's Duel with pride and excitement.<ref name="ep98" /><br />
<br />
[[File:YuyaActivatesReactionForce.png|thumb|left|Yuya activates "[[attack name|Reaction Force]]" during his Duel with Jack.]]<br />
Jack smiled and gave a healthy laugh for the first time and encouraged Yuya to give his all. New Domino, Tops and Commons alike, shouted out in sync with Yuya as they ordered "Odd-Eyes" to attack. Gong, Sylvio, Crow, Shinji, Damon, and Tony further shouted out its effect. The Duel finally ended with Yuya's victory and becoming the new Duel King of the Synchro Dimension. The entirety of New Domino went wild with the event. Yuya and Jack's Duel became the last Duel of the last Friendship Cup. The Council broadcasted via holograms their confession of the true purpose of tournament, resigned and disbanded, and dissolved the Tops and Commons system. Everyone widely clapped and agreed, and celebrations continued. For Yuya, though, the happiness was short-lived when a brutally injured and beat-up looking Sora suddenly appeared on the broadcast from the Public Sector Security building and informed the entirety of New Domino that just as he and Moon Shadow rescued Zuzu, Roget recaptured Zuzu and planned to take her with him to Duel Academy. Sora warned Yuya, Sylvio, Shay, and Gong to stop him and rescue Zuzu before the screen cut off abruptly due to Sora getting caught in another explosion in the room. Yuya called out Sora's name worriedly and was about to get on his Duel Runner again, but the former Council offered him to ride on the helicopter and take him directly to the Sector Security building. Jack joined Yuya on the helicopter and Yuya silently asked Zuzu to wait a little longer and promised to rescue her.<ref name="ep98" /><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya saves Zuzu.png|thumb|Yuya saves Zuzu from Roget.]]<br />
Yuya finally arrived at the Sector Security building and reunited with the other Lancers. After learning about Roget's underhanded Dueling tactics, Yuya decided to help Declan, but could not open the door. Sora, who was nearby, initiated the Hacking System in his Duel Disk to open the door for Yuya. Yuya then rushed to help Declan, only for Declan to stop him. Yuya spotted a distortion in the Dueling Field, and behind the spot stood Roget and Zuzu. Roget, who desperately tried to mislead Yuya, was ignored by Yuya in favor of Declan. When his ruse was discovered, Roget fled for the elevator, but failed as "Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend" destroyed it, causing Zuzu to fall. Yuya managed to rescue Zuzu by catching her mid-air and Summoned "Performapal Hip Hippo" to help with their landing. Yuya embraced Zuzu, glad to be reunited with her. After a short moment, Roget activated an [[Interdimensional Travel Technology|Interdimensional Transportation machine]], which teleported himself, Zuzu, Yuya, Gong, Shay, and Sylvio away. Yuya, Gong, Sylvio and Shay appeared in a midst of ruin and Shay informed them that this place was his homeland - [[Heartland City (ARC-V)|Heartland City]] of [[Xyz Dimension]].<ref name="ep99">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|99|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Heartland City===<br />
Shay split up with his fellow Lancers, leaving them to wander around the destroyed city. When they found a woman, she ran away from them and dropped her supplies, afraid of the Duel Disks equipped to the Lancers. Yuya decided to return the supplies to her, though Sylvio had to be persuaded not to have some. They witnessed a man being sealed into a card by three Duel Academy students and found the woman's house, eventually managing to convince them to take their food back. Yuya finally found the woman, who was still afraid of him and his friends. They unequipped their Duel Disks and helped her. Yuya asked the woman about [[the Resistance]] and she replied that most of them were wiped out by [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]]. After the question, three Duel Academy Duelists appeared, so Yuya explained his side of the story as he Dueled them. After he and the others won, Sylvio tried to activate the [[Human Sealing Technology]], but Yuya stopped him. The three Duel Academy Duelists ran away, only to run into [[Kite Tenjo (ARC-V)|a Resistance Duelist]], who sealed them into cards.<ref name="ep100">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|100|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuto speaks with Yuya.png|thumb|left|Yuto tells Yuya about Kite.]]<br />
Yuya protested that the Duelist's actions were no better than Duel Academy's. He tried to explain his smile philosophy and expressed relief that the Duelist was a member of the Resistance, only for the Duelist to demand a Duel to decide whether they were friend or foe. Yuya was dismayed to see Sylvio and Gong join the Duel, but he appreciated Gong's attempts to end it peacefully. During the Duel, Yuya recognized the Duelist's "[[Cipher Wing (anime)|Cipher Wing]]". Yuya realized Yuto's presence when he named the Duelist as Kite, despite not knowing his name and declared that Gong and Sylvio wouldn't win. Through Yuto, Yuya learned more about Kite and his relationship with Yuto, Lulu, and Shay, and was also able to see the difference between Kite's previous and current states, and he became concerned for the well-being of the Duelists. Once Sylvio and Gong were defeated, Yuya decided to talk Kite out of his anger through a Duel, despite Yuto's warnings.<ref name="ep101">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|101|ref}}</ref> Kite decided that Yuya was an enemy after realizing that Yuya knew his name and quickly brought out "[[Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon (anime)|Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon]]". Yuya Pendulum Summoned "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" and "[[Performapal Drummerilla (anime)|Performapal Drummerilla]]" and attempted to use them to destroy "Galaxy-Eyes", but Kite had learned from his Duel with Sylvio and Gong and blocked the attack. Kite resisted Yuya's attempts to pacify him; too angry to listen to Yuya until Yuya [[Xyz Summon]]ed "[[Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon]]". Yuya almost destroyed "Galaxy-Eyes", but Kite brought out another to double the ATK of the first one, causing it to tie with "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon". Prompted by Yuto, Yuya used the effect of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" to Set it in a [[Pendulum Zone]] and re-Set his Scales. Yuto explained to Yuya that the Dueling that he'd had with Jack worked because they were working for the same goal, but Kite and Duel Academy were not. They thus decided to Xyz Summon "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]", and Kite mistook Yuya for Yuto. Shay then arrived with [[Allen Kozuki|two]] [[Saya Sasayama|Resistance]] members and explained that the Lancers were indeed his comrades. Despite this, Kite vanished in a bright flash of light after learning Yuya's last name.<ref name="ep102">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|102|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:YutoSpeakingtoYuya103.png|thumb|200px|Yuto stops Yuya from telling the others his whereabouts.]]<br />
After Kite's retreat, Yuya, Gong, Sylvio, and Shay followed Allen and Saya to a [[Duel Sanctuary (ARC-V)|new hideout]] and base of operations for surviving Resistance and Heartland members. After introductions, Yuya and Yuto lamented their inability to open Kite's closed heart. He also saw the mother and children he had saved earlier from the soldiers and learned from Shay that they alerted the Resistance to his earlier location as they wanted to thank him for showing them a true Duel, a Duel with smiles. Allen began to mistakenly assume that Yuya was Yuto before Shay corrected him. Yuya wanted to explain to everyone about Yuto's whereabouts, but Yuto stopped him, as the others would find it hard to believe. Yuya and Yuto were touched when Shay revealed his decision to trust Yuya and Yuto's choice to leave his dragon with Yuya. Yuya and Yuto learned of the second major attack Duel Academy launched soon after Shay and Yuto left for Standard. Yuya realized that something happened to Kite during this second attack and found out from Saya that Duel Academy wiped out Kite's entire family, which devastated Shay and surprised Yuya. Yuya reflected how he tried to forcibly open Kite's heart, which went against his Dueling beliefs and resolved that he wouldn't be able to face Jack or Yusho if he couldn't resolve things peacefully. Saya asked Yuya if he was related to Yusho Sakaki, which he confirmed in surprise. Once Allen also revealed he knew Yusho, Yuya begged the two children to tell him more about his father. Saya revealed that Yusho was their teacher. She explained that three years ago, Yusho suddenly appeared in the Xyz Dimension, and as if he predicted Duel Academy's eventual invasion, he taught everyone in Heartland about Dueling and to never forget their smiles no matter what happened. Yuya was elated to find out that his father disappeared only to travel across dimensions and fight against Duel Academy, instead of being a coward like many people believed. However, he was upset and hurt when Allen told him that that Heartland citizens hated Yusho and called him a coward for suddenly disappearing as he had come and not helping the dimension with the invasion.<ref name="ep103">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|103|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
At what seemed to be the former building of [[Spade Branch]], Yuya asked Yuto if he knew his father only for the latter to deny it. Yuya accused Yuto of lying since without meeting Yusho, there was no way for Yuto to make the speech he made in his last moments in physical form. Yuto revealed that his speech was derived from what he heard from [[Lulu Obsidian|Lulu]] when she was comforting a child back in the early days of the invasion. Yuya learned that Lulu most likely became a disciple of his father's dueling style and philosophy through Saya, who was Yusho's student at the [[Clover Branch]]. On his way out, Yuya noticed a picture of Shay, Lulu, and Yuto. Yuya and Yuto acknowledged the existence of a [[Z-ARC|darkness]] that influenced their actions whenever they were Awakened. Yuto recalled the four dragons' desire to become one, and theorized that his current residence in Yuya's body may have had to do with "Dark Rebellion" to Yuya's alarm. Yuya noted that he could now freely communicate with Yuto compared to previous instances ever since his arrival at the Xyz Dimension.<ref name="ep104"/><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuto Controlling Yuya.png|thumb|left|Yuya being controlled by Yuto.]]<br />
Before they could pursue the subject any further, Yuya confronted an [[Aster Phoenix (ARC-V)|unknown Duelist]] who immediately attacked him once he heard Yuya's surname. Yuya guessed the Duelist knew his father and begged him to tell what happened between them, but the Duelist refused. To the Duelist's anger, Yuya used "Smile World" and his "Performapal" monsters. Yuya tried to make the Duelist smile and give him information about Yusho but he took huge damage in the process, concerning Yuto. Yuto begged Yuya to stop and prioritize winning. He pointed out to Yuya that the stranger hated Yusho; so even Yusho couldn't make him smile. Determined to protect Yuya and angered by the Duelist's having likely hunted down his comrades, Yuto forcefully possessed Yuya. Yuya tried to stop Yuto and calm him down, but failed. An alarmed Yuya listened to Yuto listing his convictions that the Duelist was probably responsible for carding his comrades, Kite's family, and his regret for going to Standard and leaving everyone else behind. Thanks to Yuto possession Yuya, Xyz Summoning "Dark Rebellion" and [[Rank-Up|Ranking-Up]] "Dark Rebellion" into "[[Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon]]", Yuya managed to end the Duel in a [[DRAW]]. He was knocked into some rubble and was hidden underneath it due to the shock wave of the last attack. Other members of Duel Academy approached and the hidden Yuya learned his opponent's identity as the commander-in-chief of Duel Academy forces in Heartland City.<ref name="ep104" /><br />
<br />
While returning to the Resistance's hideout, Yuya saw an explosion and Yuto thought it was Duel Academy attacking. He arrived to try to stop Shay and Kite's Duel because they were comrades, only for Allen to tell him to stay out of it as he was an outsider. Kite claimed that he didn't need comrades because he had "Galaxy-Eyes". Shay called out to Yuya as well and Yuto told Yuya to leave it to Shay. Yuto explained that Shay was trying to deliver his words to Kite through Dueling. When Shay told Kite what his comrades were to him, Yuya and Yuto began talking about Kite and Shay's past, and he revealed to everyone that Yuto was residing inside him, something that Shay claimed he had had a hunch about. Yuya was shocked when Kite defeated Shay and when Saya begged Kite not to seal Shay into a card before revealing that she had been present during Lulu's kidnapping. Kite decided not to seal Shay before leaving again.<ref name="ep105">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|105|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Saya later disappeared, and Yuya realized that she was looking for Kite. He asked Allen to take him with him, but Allen refused, claiming that Yuya was an outsider and that he wouldn't accept him as a comrade. Yuya sadly mused that Allen still thought that Yusho abandoned everyone. Shay arrived and decided to split the Lancers into two groups to find Saya, teaming up with Yuya.<ref name="ep107">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|107|ref}}</ref> While they were searching, Yuya and Shay heard Sylvio's scream and ran to his location. They found Sylvio, Gong, Allen, and Saya on the ground. Yuya asked Gong what happened, but Gong only gasped, "[[Amazoness]]", alerting Shay. The [[Gloria Tyler|female]] [[Grace Tyler|Duelists]] that defeated their comrades thought Shay was a scared Resistance member who fled from them; Yuto and Yuya replied in unison that if they had stayed in Heartland many of their comrades wouldn't have been sealed into cards. Yuya asked Yuto if he knew the two Duelists and learned that they nearly wiped out the [[Spade Branch]]'s Resistance. Yuya told Yuto he understood his pain but was worried that [[Z-ARC|the unknown being]] would possess them if they got angry. Shay asked Yuya to let Yuto do what he wants, Yuya agreed but stated that he would Duel his own way. The Tyler Sisters challenged them to a [[Tag-Team Duel]] and Yuya learned that Gong had been at a disadvantage because of the shared [[Graveyard]]. Yuya Pendulum Summoned his monsters in [[Defense Position]], but he was surprised when Gloria used "[[Amazoness Hall (anime)|Amazoness Hall]]" to gain [[LP]] from his and Shay's [[Special Summon]]ed monsters [[ATK]]. Yuya's monsters were destroyed and he tried to calm Yuto and Shay down. The Tyler sisters continued to regain LP and prevent battle damage and destroyed Shay's "[[Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon (anime)|Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon]]". Yuya was possessed by Yuto again, who claimed that they would keep fighting until they achieved victory. Yuya urged Yuto to calm down, admitting that he couldn't forget his fallen comrades but his anger would get them possess again by the unknown being. Yuya asked Yuto and Shay to leave it to him and he would answer their feelings. He Xyz Summoned "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon", but the continual Special Summons had increased the Tyler Sister's LP to over 10,000. Yuto asked Yuya how he would deplete the Tyler sisters' 10,000 LP, he explained that he would borrow Yuto, Shay, and his father's strength. Yuya activated "[[Miracle Rocket Show]]", which would prevent the Tyler Sisters from taking battle damage, and used it and "Smile World" in combination with "Dark Rebellion" and "Rise Falcon" to attack "[[Amazoness Pet Liger (anime)|Amazoness Pet Liger]]" and activated the final effect of "Miracle Rocket Show" to inflict effect damage equal to the prevented battle damage to win the Duel.<ref name="ep108">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|108|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
After the Duel, Allen accepted Yuya as a comrade before the Obelisk Force arrived. Yuya and Shay decided to Duel them since the others were injured. Shay told Yuya that his Dueltaining wouldn't work on them, but he would still Duel his own way. When the Obelisk Force attempted to attack Yuya before his turn, he found and activated "[[Big Escape]]", ending the battle. Yuto told Yuya that he had confidence in Yuya's Dueling to reach people's hearts and watched over him. Yuya brought out "[[Performapal Friendonkey (anime)|Performapal Friendonkey]]", "[[Performapal Silver Claw (anime)|Performapal Silver Claw]]", and "Odd-Eyes" and began pushing the Obelisk Force back. They criticized him for not trying to lower their forces, but Yuya replied that he wasn't going to fight dirty and didn't want the Duel to end just yet. Yuya was worried when Shay and Saya were caught in the falling debris from the shockwaves created by "[[Chaos Ancient Gear Giant (anime)|Chaos Ancient Gear Giant]]" and shocked when Shay collapsed after getting injured by the debris. Yuya tried to check on him but the Obelisk Force started to attack him and he used "[[Performapal Inflater Tapir (anime)|Performapal Inflater Tapir]]" to reduce the battle damage to 0 and protect his friends. Yuya tried to find an [[Action Card]] but a second shockwave from "Chaos Giant" caused it to fall out of reach. Kite activated the Action Card, "[[Quick Guard]]", saving Yuya. He told Yuya to check on Shay while Kite defeated the Obelisk Force. The Commander-in-Chief then showed up with a squad of Duel Academy students and declared that he would defeat Yuya.<ref name="ep109">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|109|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Before Yuya could carry Shay away, he was forced into a Duel by the Commander-in-Chief using "[[Steel Cage Match]]" so no one could interfere. The Commander-in-Chief introduced himself as Aster Phoenix, and Yuya tried to leave the Duel but Yuto told him that Duel Academy would even Duel injured Duelists and Yuya would have to defeat Aster to save Shay. Yuya was worried about the others when they were cornered by Aster's squad until Kite stepped in to protect them. He accepted Aster's challenge and tried to gain an early lead, but Aster activated the effects of "Dynatag" and "[[Destiny HERO - Decider (anime)|Destiny HERO - Decider]]", causing only Yuya to receive damage. Yuya worried about Kite Dueling alone, but Yuto told him to focus on his Duel. Yuya continued to suffer damage until he saw Kite defeat Aster's squad and retreat with the others, allowing Yuya to focus on his Duel. He brought his monsters back and thought about how to get Aster to understand him through Dueling, until Yuto reminded him Aster only believed in his Dueling. Deciding to talk to the Fusion Duelist through Fusion Summoning, he Fusion Summoned "[[Brave-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Brave-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]", using its effects to reduce the ATK of "Dystopia". However "Brave-Eyes" was destroyed when Aster activated "[[Urban Demise]]" to trigger the effect of "Dystopia". Yuto insisted that Yuya's voice wouldn't reach Aster, but Yuya then noticed a torn "Smile World" card next Aster's foot and he learned that Aster Dueled his father and lost. Yuto again told Yuya that he couldn't make Aster understand through Dueling after hearing the story, but Yuya only smiled and when Yuto asked why, he told him that it was because Aster held on to the torn "Smile World". Aster furiously insisted that Yusho's Dueling was wrong and attacked directly.<ref name="ep110">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|110|ref}}</ref> Despite Aster's attempts to stop him, Yuya was able to save himself with "[[Evasion]]". Yuto reminded Yuya that he would need multiple monsters to get past Aster's "Urban Demise" combo, but Yuya still insisted on Dueling his way. Yuto reminded Yuya that not even Yusho could make Aster smile, but Yuya was certain that Aster did in fact smile. Yuya told Aster that his heart was wavering like [[Yuya's pendant|his pendulum]] between the Dueling of Duel Academy and that of Yusho. He [[Tribute Summon]]ed "[[Performapal Laugh Maker (anime)|Performapal Laugh Maker]]" and attacked "Dystopia", using "[[Performing Pal's Counterstrike]]" to dodge the "Urban Demise" combo, but he was unable to destroy "Dystopia". While trying to convince Aster again, he learned that Yusho told Aster that if Duel Academy smiled he would forgive them. Yuya tried to go for another Action Card but Aster prevented him from getting it using "Chain Deathmatch", destroying "Laugh Maker" and bringing Yuya to 100 LP. Yuya Pendulum Summoned "Dag Daggerman", "Odd-Eyes", and "Laugh Maker" then used "[[Performance Exchange]]" to give two of his monsters to Aster and he used "Smile World" to capitalize on the effect of "Laugh Maker". Yuya went for another Action Card, using "Chain Deathmatch" to swing for the card, forcing Aster to remove "Chain Deathmatch" from the field, causing Yuya to fail to get the Action Card and "Laugh Maker" to be destroyed by the effect of "Dystopia". Yuya brought "Brave-Eyes" back, claiming that he needed his Fusion Monster to talk to Aster, and attacked. Aster declared that he would talk to Yuya using the Lancers' card, and he powered up "Dystopia" through various means including the "[[Double Attack (Action Card)]]" that he had taken from Yuya, but Yuya countered with "[[Miracle Fire]]" to copy the effect of "Double Attack (Action Card)" effect and won the Duel. He was able to make Aster smile again, but he and Aster were then surrounded by Duel Academy students called in by [[Mamoru Noro]].<ref name="ep111">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|111|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Kaito and Lancers 112-1.png|thumb|The Lancers and Kite going to the Fusion Dimension.]]<br />
Just as Mamoru ordered them to attack, Aster defended Yuya as he declared his treachery against the Professor to Yuya's shock. Aster convinced the Duel Academy students to stand down and atone for their crimes, and Gloria and Grace joined them, while Mamoru was forced to surrender after Kite returned with the Resistance. They watched the relief effort and Yuya reassured Kite, who was feeling guilty over his actions towards Duel Academy, that he had taken a step forward by forgiving them. Aster then revealed that the cards that people were sealed in were used to harvest life energy and intended to be awoken in the utopia that Duel Academy planned to create. He told Yuya that they hadn't seen any sign of Zuzu and reassured him that they would take care of Shay. Allen also gifted Yuya with his [[Rollerboots]] and Yuya, Sylvio, Gong and Kite then departed to the Fusion Dimension. Immediately upon arrival in the Fusion Dimension, Yuya, Gong, Sylvio and Kite came upon Zuzu cornered by Duel Academy students under the command of [[Dennis McField]]. Yuya ran to Zuzu, happily calling her name.<ref name="ep112">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|112|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Zuzu tried to tell Yuya about his father, but to Yuya's surprise he was knocked to the ground by [[Iggy Arlo]]. The Lancers were surrounded by Duel Academy, and Yuya tried to get Iggy to release him, but Zuzu told him to focus on his Duel while she was protected. He accepted Iggy's challenge and admitted to Yuto that it was his fault anyway. He Pendulum-Xyz Summoned "Dark Rebellion" at Iggy's urging and used its effect to weaken "[[Idaten the Conqueror Star (anime)|Idaten the Conqueror Star]]", but Iggy blocked him when he activated the effect of "[[Kaiki the Unity Star (anime)|Kaiki the Unity Star]]" to Special Summon it from the Graveyard. Yuya was surprised by the markings Iggy gained from the effect of "Kaiki" to Fusion Summon "[[Shura the Combat Star (anime)|Shura the Combat Star]]". Unlike "Idaten", who was weak against monsters without a Level, the effect of "Shura" was actually stronger against Xyz Monsters. Yuya used the effects of "[[Xiangke Magician (anime)|Xiangke Magician]]" and "[[Xiangsheng Magician (anime)|Xiangsheng Magician]]" to give "Dark Rebellion" a high [[Level]] and attacked Shura, attempting to get an Action Card, but Iggy attacked him to get it. The attack still went through but Iggy prevented the destruction of "Shura" with the Action Card. On Iggy's next turn, both Duelist clashed in their attempts to get Action Cards; Yuya received a surprise when Allen's Rollerboots activated, but he quickly mastered them and managed to defend himself for the turn. He explained to Yuto that he was doing this one step at a time. Yuya fought back on the next turn with Level manipulation tactics, but Iggy used "[[Radiance of the Forbidden Spell]]" to increase the ATK of "Shura" by sealing away his Monster Zones, destroying "Dark Rebellion", and forcing Yuya's monsters into Defense Position. Yuya learned that Iggy swore to defeat him since passing each other eight years ago and that Iggy intended to force the Duel into a DRAW and cause them both to fall into the pit. Yuya used "[[Acrobatic Tower]]", saving them both and bringing their monsters back from the Graveyard. As all of their monsters turned into balls, Yuya had them draw two cards for the tower of balls to fall on one of them to win. He drew lower-Level monsters, which unbalanced the tower in Iggy's direction and caused him to take damage, winning Yuya the Duel. He offered his hand to help Iggy stand again, and Iggy accepted this time. Everyone applauded both Duelists for their Duel and Iggy admitted that Dueltaining wasn't so bad before departing, with Yuya glad that he was able to change Iggy.<ref name="ep113">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|113|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:ArcV 115.png|thumb|left|Yuya prevented from rescuing Zuzu by Captain Cutter.]]<br />
Zuzu took Yuya to the harbor with Gong and Sylvio and she explained that his father was there. However the ship that Yusho had boarded left and they tried to find a boat to catch up with it. They couldn't find a boat, but [[Celina]] appeared and told them to follow her.<ref name="ep114">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|114|ref}}</ref> As they set sail on [[Captain Cutter]]'s ship, Duel Academy soldiers arrived by helicopter and Celina took Zuzu hostage. Yuya tried to follow them but Cutter opposed him while Sylvio and Gong were tied up by Cutter crewmates. Cutter forced Yuya into a Duel and locked Yuya down with "[[Captain Lock]]". Yuya attempted to use Action Cards to turn the situation around, but Cutter continuously used the steering of his ship to interfere with Yuya's movements, culminating in knocking Yuya from the mast. [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]] saved Yuya with "[[Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower (anime)|Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower]]", and Yuya was surprised to see him and the other Lancers. He asked Crow how they made it to the Fusion Dimension, but [[Sora Perse|Sora]] reminded him the Duel was still continuing. Sora joined the Duel and was able to bypass the effect of "Lock" and destroy it by Fusion Summoning "[[Frightfur Kraken]]". However, Cutter brought "Lock" back with its effects negated and strengthened its ATK with "[[Perished Pirate]]". Yuya then used "[[Performapal Teamwork]]" to equip "[[Performapal Sword Fish (anime)|Performapal Sword Fish]]" to "Kraken", increasing its ATK and allowing Sora to defeat Cutter. Yuya learned from Declan and Crow that after he left Security had disbanded and New Domino City had become truly equal. They were going to assist with the rebuilding effort, but [[Shinji Weber|Shinji]] and [[Chojiro Tokumatsu|Chojiro]] had told them to leave New Domino City to them. Yuya dwelled on the reason why Celina kidnapped Zuzu, and Sora explained that the Professor was rumored to have [[The Doktor|someone]] who could [[Parasite Monster|control]] people's hearts and minds. After Declan declared that everything would end by the Lancers' hands.<ref name="ep115">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|115|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
While cruising to Duel Academy, Yuya discussed Zuzu and her counterparts, and he learned from Yuto that Yugo mistook Yuri for him and pursued him instead. He asked Sora why the Professor wanted Zuzu and her counterparts, and he learned they might be connected to the Aquaria Project. Yuya stated that they had to save them as soon as possible.<ref name="ep116">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|116|ref}}</ref> Yuya told Declan that his father was heading towards Duel Academy to talk to the Professor and they had been trying to go after him. He was surprised to learn that Declan traveled to Duel Academy three years ago and asked Yusho for help. Declan explained about [[Revival Zero]], another part of the Professor's plan involving Celina and Yuri. Yuya was shocked to learn that the plan might also involve him as well. Declan told Yuya and the Lancers to believe in their friends' strength and fight to the very end. After arriving on the island, Yuya prepared to climb the cliff to charge into Duel Academy.<ref name="ep117">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|117|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
After scaling the cliff, they were surrounded by Duel Academy students before utilizing their plan to split into two groups with Yuya, Gong, Sylvio, Crow, and Moon Shadow Dueling the students while Declan's group continued to the lab. When the students retreated, they chased after them but they were captured in energy nets. They were then forced into a [[Survival Duel (ARC-V)|Survival Duel]] by [[Sanders]] with five Duel Academy students that would only leave one man standing. He refused to participate until Sylvio asked whether he would rather just stand there and be sealed into a card instead. Crow also tried to explain the situation to Yuya before Moon Shadow went ahead to provide reconnaissance. However, they heard a scream and ran to the location only to find [[Bernie (card)|a card]] containing [[Bernie|a Duel Academy student]]. [[Ethan|Another student]] emerged in terror; Sylvio and Crow ran after the student, and Yuya and Gong soon lost them. They heard Moon Shadow's scream and ran to his location only to find him [[Moon Shadow (card)|sealed into a card]] and Yuya cried in sorrow for his loss. Gong assumed that the Duel Academy students would really card anyone without care, but Yuya had realized from Moon's last message and his assumption that the students would defeat that Lancers before turning on one another that there was an ''[[Battle Beast|eleventh Duelist]]'' in the arena with them and they decided to find Sylvio and Crow as quickly as possible.<ref name="ep118">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|118|ref}}</ref> Yuya and Gong found [[Ted|another student]] sealed into a card and he told Gong they had to find Sylvio and Crow quickly due to the danger of staying separated.<ref name="ep119">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|119|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:BB Takes Action Card.png|thumb|Yuya prevented from getting an Action Card by Battle Beast.]]<br />
They were able to find Sylvio and Crow after Crow activated "[[Blackwing - Last Will]]", but the eleventh Duelist, the Battle Beast, sealed Crow into a [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V card)|card]] right after they arrived. Yuya and Gong challenged him to a Battle Royal Duel. Yuya brought out "Odd-Eyes" and attempted to destroy "[[Gladiator Beast Laquari (anime)|Gladiator Beast Laquari]]", but the Battle Beast used "[[Gladiator Beast's Medallion]]" to prevent its destruction. He wondered what the Battle Beast was planning after the Battle Beast used the effect of "Laquari" to Special Summon "[[Gladiator Beast Secutor (anime)|Gladiator Beast Secutor]]". "Odd-Eyes" was destroyed and Yuya lost LP due to "[[Thumbs Down]]". He continued to lose LP when his cards were destroyed by the effect of "[[Gladiator Beast Gyzarus (anime)|Gladiator Beast Gyzarus]]". Yuya intentionally attracted the Battle Beast's attention, as Gong's Heavystrong style would limit his defensive options. He tried going for Action Cards, but the Battle Beast continuously blocked him. He was saved when Gong used the Action Card "[[Benkei Guard]]", though at the cost of restricting his Deck. The Battle Beast furiously defeated Gong and prepared to seal him into a card, but then Jack arrived in the arena.<ref name="ep120">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|120|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya thanked Jack and learned that Amanda, Frank, and Tarren asked him to come help Crow. Sanders joined the Duel after Jack's first turn, and Yuya prepared himself and he told Jack that something was strange about the Battle Beast. Sanders later revealed that the Professor ordered him to eliminate Yuya specifically, and Yuya was shocked to learn that he was part of Duel Academy's plan. Caught up in his thought, Yuya barely noticed the attack of "[[Gladiator Beast Tamer Editor (anime)|Gladiator Beast Tamer Editor]]" and dodged it with "[[Evasion]]". He then returned to musing on what Leo wanted the four of them for to Yuto, and they both discussed [[Z-ARC|the darkness]] that possessed them. He deduced that Leo might know something, which was why he wanted them eliminated. Jack yelled at Yuya for looking away in a Duel, and urged him to talk about it in a Duel, and Gong and Sylvio encouraged him not to forget their fallen comrades. Yuya used low-Level monsters to deal damage to the Battle Beast, and the Battle Beast activated "[[Gladiator Beast's Assault Fort]]" to defend himself in response. Yuya noticed something was wrong with him again and he remembered his own bullying as a child for Yusho's disappearance. To his surprise, the Battle Beast used the effect of "Tamer Editor" to destroy itself in the next turn to defeat Sanders.<ref name="ep121">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|121|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
After the Battle Beast defeated Sanders, Yuya still noted something strange about him. Yuya tried to stop the Battle Beast from sealing Sanders into a card; after failing physically, he asked the Battle Beast if he didn't want to fight. He likened the Battle Beast to himself, due to them protecting their hearts from pain. The Battle Beast still wanted to seal Sanders into a card, and Yuya tried to stop him but the rest of the students wanted Yuya to stop interfering because they would learn their instructor's teachings with him sealed into a card. Sanders agreed, ordering the Battle Beast to defeat Yuya on the Professor's orders after sealing him into a card, but the Battle Beast retreated into "[[Gladiator Beast Fort]]". The students wanted their instructor to be sealed, Yuya begged them to stop but Jack explained that shouting wouldn't erase the teachings drilled into their heads, but shaking their hearts would. His monsters were destroyed when Jack used the effect of "Tyrant", but the Battle Beast brought out "[[Gladiator Beast's Great Fortress]]" to retreat further. Yuya noted to Jack that the Battle Beast had feared him since his first turn and asked Jack if was he alright, but Jack told him to focus on what he should be doing. Yuya agreed, and told Jack that he would tear off the thick armor covering the Battle Beast's heart. He used "[[Performapal Pendulum Art & Clean]]" to Special Summon as many face-up [[Level 1]] "[[Performapal]]" [[Pendulum Monster]]s from his [[Extra Deck]] as possible, and activated "[[Performapal Guard Dance]]" to protect his monsters, which engaged in a paintball match with the "Gladiator Beasts". Yuya used "Pendulum Art & Clean" to destroy all monsters on the field that were Special Summoned this turn, but as Yuya's Pendulum Monsters were sent to his Extra Deck, the effect of "Great Fortress" was ineffective against him. He told the Battle Beast that the finish was his, and he and Jack won the Duel as the effect of "Great Fortress" wiped out the Battle Beast's LP. As the Battle Beast blamed himself for hurting so many people, Yuya reassured him that he could atone for it as his true self had returned and that Yuya would save the people he sealed into cards. Yuto reminded Yuya that they had to go and Yuya agreed that Leo knew the truth. He went ahead with a student leading him while Jack and Sylvio helped Gong.<ref name="ep122">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|122|ref}}</ref> Yuya asked the student if he knew where Zuzu was, and learned she was in the laboratory up ahead.<ref name="ep123">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|123|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:ArcV 124.png|thumb|left|Yuto takes over Yuya's body to Duel.]]<br />
Yuya arrived in the lab and saw [[Lulu Obsidian|a girl]] that he thought was Zuzu, but Yuto explained that she was actually Lulu. He introduced himself to her and learned that Shay was at Duel Academy, but had been injured. Lulu began to lead Yuya to Shay, but she suddenly challenged him to a Duel and Yuya and Yuto realized that something ha happened to her. He and Yuto promised to return Lulu to normal and accepted the challenge. Yuto's desire to save Lulu transformed Yuya's Deck into Yuto's, and Yuya used Yuto's strategies, which Lulu recognized. Yuya and Yuto noted that Lulu wasn't herself, and they explained that they were Yuto, urging Lulu to regain her true self. Yuto predicted Lulu's "[[Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale (anime)|Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale]]", but they were surprised when Lulu [[Fusion Summon]]ed "[[Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale (anime)|Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale]]". Yuya and Yuto agreed that "[[Fusion Parasite (anime)|Fusion Parasite]]" was controlling her and they vowed to regain her sanity by destroying it. Shay arrived and explained that he had already defeated Lulu, but nothing had changed, and he suggested that they probably had to defeat the person controlling Lulu. Yuya made a comeback by Xyz Summoning "[[The Phantom Knights of Cursed Javelin (anime)|The Phantom Knights of Cursed Javelin]]" on Lulu's turn. Yuya let Shay go to deal with the person controlling Lulu but Celina tased Shay and joined the Duel. Yuya asked her where Zuzu was, but Celina merely claimed that she and Lulu would only listen to him if he won. Celina Fusion Summoned "[[Parasite Queen]]" and destroyed "Cursed Javelin". Yuya tried to make Celina remember that she defected from Duel Academy, but to his shock, Celina revealed that she remembered. She showed them the [[Parasite Monster|insects]] created and used by the Doktor to control the girls by placing them in their heads; including Zuzu. Enraged, Yuya began to awaken; Yuto empathized with and tried to calm him down, completely possessing his body. He and Yuto revived and Ranked-Up "Cursed Javelin" into "Dark Rebellion", and they agreed to defeat the Doktor and save the girls.<ref name="ep124">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|124|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya demonic expression.png|thumb|Awakened Yuya's demonic expression as he commands "[[Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon]]" to attack.]]<br />
Yuya warned Yuto that Lulu and Celina were planning something and Yuto and "Dark Rebellion" clashed with "Parasite Queen". He regained control over his body when Yuto barely dodged Lulu's attack but was unaware that a Parasite Monster landed on his shoulder. When Celina strengthened "Queen", Yuya went for an Action Card and managed to grab it before her. However, he passed out when the Parasite Monster tried to take over his mind and Awakened for a brief moment, destroying the Parasite Monster in the process. The Doktor contacted him through a monitor and Yuya asked where Zuzu was. When he saw her under control as well, his anger caused him and Yuto to Awaken with a [[Supreme King Z-ARC (character)|dragon's silhouette]], which scared the "Fusion Parasites". He used "[[The Phantom Knights' Possession]]" to give "Dark Rebellion" a Level and Xyz Summon "[[Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon]] and used the effect of "Raging Dragon" to negate and destroy all cards on the field, gaining 200 ATK for each destroyed card. He then attacked both Lulu and Celina directly due to "Raging Dragon" being able to attack twice per turn, winning the Duel. He checked on Celina, wanting to know where the Doktor was and checked on Lulu with Yuto. He asked if Shay saw anything, but Celina kicked him in the stomach and fled with Lulu. Yuya tried to help Shay, but Shay told him to go after them. Yuto showed him which way they went and he ran after them, meeting the Doktor in person. He ran toward Zuzu, but was trapped in a cage and kept calling out to her until they left. Another monitor switched on, and for the first time in years, Yuya saw his father, who was with Declan and Riley.<ref name="ep125">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|125|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Duel Academy===<br />
Yuya was surprised to learn that [[Yusho Sakaki|his father]] knew [[Leo Akaba]] and learned how they created the [[ARC System]] together. He also learned about the [[Original Dimension]] and the history of [[Z-ARC]]. Elsewhere, [[Yugo]] and [[Yuri]] Summoned "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (anime)|Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]" and "[[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (anime)|Starving Venom Fusion Dragon]]" respectively, causing Yuya to start breathing heavily and he dropped his Deck while his eyes, "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]", and "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]" glowed. [[Aster Phoenix (ARC-V)|Aster]] and [[Kite Tenjo (ARC-V)|Kite]] arrived as his "[[Stargazer Magician (anime)|Stargazer Magician]]" and "[[Timegazer Magician (anime)|Timegazer Magician]]" began to glow, and Yuya started to chant about "[[Astrograph Sorcerer (anime)|Astrograph Sorcerer]]" and began shouting that they would become one. [[Yuya's pendant|His pendant]] started glowing as well and a sudden wind blew his cards back into his hand. He entered a synchronized awakening and destroyed his cage, blasting Kite and Aster back.<ref name="ep126">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|126|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yushoyuya.png|thumb|left|Yuya reunites with Yusho for the first in time three years.]]<br />
Yuya left [[the Doktor]]'s lab and made it the Professor's inner chambers, where he hugged his father. He told him that Zuzu was captured by Duel Academy and told the Professor to give her back. [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]] and her counterparts were brought to the room in capsules and Yuya demanded they be set free. Yuya witnessed the Professor [[The Doktor (card)|seal the Doktor into a card]], freeing the girls. Yuya tried to run to Zuzu but the Professor blocked his way, and he and Yuto promised to rescue [[Lulu Obsidian|Lulu]]. Leo explained how he created [[Four Nature Cards|four cards]] that could defeat the [[Supreme King Z-ARC (character)|Supreme King Z-ARC]], but that they were stolen by his daughter [[Ray Akaba|Ray]], who defeated Z-ARC and split Z-ARC, Ray, and the Original Dimension into four. He initially thought that [[Celina]] was Ray, but realized that Ray had split into Zuzu, Celina, Lulu, and [[Rin]]. Leo revealed that he intended to use the [[ARC-V Reactor]] to bring the back the fifth dimension and Ray; Yuya refused to allow it to protect the girls. [[Declan Akaba|Declan]] wondered if Yuri was a reincarnation of Z-ARC, and the Professor revealed that they were, to Yuya and Yuto's shock. Yuya insisted that he wasn't a demon and that he Dueled to bring smiles to people, and he and Declan challenged Leo to a Duel.<ref name="ep127">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|127|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Leo prepared to fuse the girls and Four Dimensions back into one using the ARC-V Reactor, and Yuya and Yuto told him that he couldn't be forgiven. He asked Declan to help him and reassured Zuzu that he'd save her. Yuto warned Yuya that Z-ARC was the evil in their hearts, and Yuya told him that as long as they don't get angry, Z-ARC wouldn't awaken. He [[Pendulum Summon]]ed "Odd-Eyes" and told Leo the Arc Project and the ARC-V Reactor wouldn't succeed. After Declan sealed Leo's [[Extra Deck]], Leo tried convince Declan to join him, and Yuya told him that nothing would be destroyed and he declared that he and Yuto wouldn't let Z-ARC be revived. Leo still believed that Z-ARC would revive as Yuya had already absorbed Yuto, and Yuya retorted that even if Yuto was inside him, they still wanted to bring smiles to everyone, overcome the evil in them, and protect the four girls. To his surprise, Leo Pendulum Summoned "[[Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Governor]]" and destroyed "Odd-Eyes". The ARC-V Reactor started to power up around the girls' capsules, and Yuya angrily told Leo to stop and awakened. Though they came close to falling into the darkness, he and Yuto managed to keep their senses and they [[Fusion Summon]]ed "[[Performapal Gatlinghoul (anime)|Performapal Gatlinghoul]]". Unfortunately the awakened again, and used the effect of "Gatlinghoul" to inflict damage to Leo for each card on the field, then used the second effect of "Gatlinghoul" to destroy "Pendulum Governor" and inflict damage to Leo equal to the ATK of "Pendulum Governor".<ref name="ep128">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

<br />
[[File:RestrainingSwordofImpact-JP-Anime-AV-NC.png|thumb|Yuya bound to a pillar with "[[Restraining Sword of Impact]]".]]<br />
However, Leo used the [[Pendulum Effect]] of "[[Spirit Reactor]]" to save himself. Declan tried to defeat Leo as Yuya groaned in pain, but failed, and Leo took control of "[[D/D/D Doom King Armageddon (later anime)|D/D/D Doom King Armageddon]]" and Fusion Summoned "[[Master Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Ruler]]" with "[[Dis-Swing Fusion]]", destroyed "Gatlinghoul" and attacked directly with "Armageddon". Yuya managed to save himself with an [[Action Card]], but he was still awakened and he briefly made contact with Declan before becoming enraged and directing his attention to Leo. He brought back "Odd-Eyes" and Pendulum-Xyz Summoned "Dark Rebellion". The presence of the Four Dimensional Dragons caused Yuya to scream in pain and his dark aura briefly took the form of a [[Supreme King Z-ARC (character)|dragon's silhouette]]. He brought out "Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon" and used its effect to negate and destroy every card on the field except "Pendulum Ruler" and "Doom King Armageddon". Yuya destroyed "Doom King Armageddon" but Declan took the damage due to the effect of "Dis-Swing Fusion". He was about to attack "Pendulum Ruler", but Zuzu begged him to stop and to not give into his anger, voicing her belief that the real Yuya and Yuto were still there and begging him to return. The ARC-V Reactor powered up even more, causing the girls to scream in pain and prompting Yuya to continue his attack and destroy "Pendulum Ruler". Before he could defeat Leo and Declan with the effect of "[[Performapal Nightmare Knight]]", his father stepped in with "[[Restraining Sword of Impact]]", which pinned Yuya to a pillar and terminated the Duel. Bound to the pillar, Yuya screamed at them to release him<ref name="ep129">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|129|ref}}</ref> and continued to roar while trying to break free from "Restraining Sword of Impact".<ref name="ep130">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|130|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya continued struggling, but ached in pain as his pendant resonated for a moment. He sensed Yugo and Yuri's approach, and begged Declan to hurry and finish his Duel with [[Riley Akaba|Riley]] and stop the ARC-V Reactor.<ref name="ep131">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|131|ref}}</ref> As Yuri absorbed Yugo, Yuya resonated with him, shouting that they would become one. Yuri soon arrived with the intention to absorb Yuya as well, blasting Yusho into the room. Yusho challenged Yuri to a Duel, and Yuri [[Dark Seed Planter|changed]] the [[Attribute]] of "[[Performapal Sky Magician (anime)|Performapal Sky Magician]]" to [[DARK|Dark]], but Yuya proclaimed that his father's [[Signature card|ace monster]] would never fall into darkness. Yusho countering with the effects of "Sky Magician" started to break Yuya out of his awakened state, and his Dueltaining performance to seal Yuri's trump card "[[Super Polymerization (later anime)|Super Polymerization]]" returned Yuya to normal<ref name="ep132">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|132|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya's angry Awakening.png|thumb|left|Yuya awakens after watching Yuri card his father.]]<br />
Yuya was briefly worried when Yuri used "[[Ivy Bind Castle]]" to lock Yusho down, but he told Yuto not worry because his dad had been in a similar situation before. Indeed, "Sky Magician" [[Leaves the field|escaped]] from "Ivy Bind Castle". Yuri drew a card that prompted him to proclaim his strength, Yuya thought it was a bluff and replied that his dad wouldn't lose. Yuri asked Yuya if didn't he want to become one with him, and Yuya denied that it would happen. However, Yuri wasn't convinced, claiming that he'd make Yuya crazy for him again and they would become one like Yuri had with Yugo. Yuri told Yusho his prediction had been wrong and that "Super Polymerization" wasn't his trump card. Yuya called it another bluff, but Yuri revealed his trump card; "[[Ultra Polymerization (anime)|Ultra Polymerization]]", which he used to Fusion Summon "Starving Venom" and [[Synchro Summon]] "Clear Wing", causing discomfort for Yuya and Yuto. He yelled at Yuri to stop when Yuri used the effects of his dragons, "[[Destruction Flower]]" and "[[Destruction Fruit]]" to defeat his father, causing him to begin to awaken again. With a final smile to Yuya, Yusho was [[Yusho Sakaki (card)|sealed into a card]] by Yuri, and when Yuri taunted Yuya with the card, Yuya awakened and broke free from "Restraining Sword of Impact".<ref name="ep133">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|133|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Awakened Yuya shocked.png|thumb|Awakened Yuya surprised at losing "Dark Rebellion" to Yuri.]]<br />
Yuya yelled at Yuri to give his father back, releasing a shockwave that pushed Yuri back and sent Declan flying. Yuri challenged Yuya to get Yusho's card, and Yuya agreed. Yuri Fusion Summoned "Starving Venom" and claimed that he was looking for their dragons. Yuya looked at "Odd-Eyes" and drew "[[Smile World (anime)|Smile World]]", remembering his father's final moments. Yuri's criticisms angered Yuya and he noticed "Odd-Eyes" glowing, but hesitated to use it as he remembered his father's words. He calmed down and Summoned "Odd-Eyes" and "[[Performapal Coin Dragon (anime)|Performapal Coin Dragon]]", increasing his pain with two dragons on the field. "Odd-Eyes" attacked "Starving Venom", but Yuri managed to prevent its destruction. As Yuya and Yuto agreed that they could contain Z-ARC, Yuri Summoned a [[Predaplant Banksiogre (anime)|tuner monster]] and Synchro Summoned "Clear Wing". Yuri tried to use the effect of "Starving Venom", but Yuya countered with "[[Starlight Force]]" to negate the effects of "Starving Venom" and "Clear Wing" and change their Levels to 4. However, his monsters were still destroyed. Yuya contemplated Summoning "Dark Rebellion", but he was worried about the darkness. Yuto advised him to endure it since "Smile World" would protect him and told Yuya that believed he could do it. Yuya Pendulum Summoned "Odd-Eyes" and Pendulum-Xyz Summoned "Dark Rebellion", causing the pain that he felt to increase with all Four Dimensional Dragons out and was worried about Yuto when the darkness absorbed him. He managed to endure the pain and was about to use the effect of "Dark Rebellion", but Yuri used "[[Dragonvine]]" to take control of "Dark Rebellion". To his horror, Yuto awakened and joined Yuri and Yugo in shouting that they would become one when the Four Dimensional Dragons resonated with one another.<ref name="ep134">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|134|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya's breakdown.png|thumb|left|Yuya breaks down after he is forced to discard "Smile World".]]<br />
Yuri asked Yuya whether he would surrender after losing "Dark Rebellion", and Yuya tried to answer, but he was in too much pain. Yuya was close to giving in and he released a shockwave from the pain, but Declan reminded him of his father, calming him down. Yuri claimed that his father didn't matter, and that Yuya should be honest with his heart and desire to become one with him. Yuya Set a [[face-down]] in response. With the effect of "Starlight Force" worn off, "Starving Venom" destroyed "Odd-Eyes" and Yuri countered Yuya's "[[Evasion]]" with "[[No Action]]" when "Clear Wing" attacked. Declan, Riley, [[Sora Perse|Sora]], and Aster tried to check on him, but backed up after Yuri claimed that Yuya wanted to become one with him. Yuya refuted his statement, and Declan, Riley, Sora, and Aster tried to join the Duel, but Yuri blasted them away, much to Yuya's concern. "Dark Rebellion" attacked, and Yuya used his Rollerboots to grab an Action Card for the cost to activate his "[[Break Away (anime)|Break Away]]" [[Trap Card]] but Yuri used "[[Crush Action]]" to destroy it, forcing him to discard "Smile World" in order to use "Break Away" to end the battle and negate all monster effects.<ref name="ep135">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|135|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya succumbs to Zarc.png|thumb|Yuya finally succumbing to Z-ARC's will to become one with his counterparts.]]<br />
The loss of his father's card caused Yuya to utterly break down, but Declan told him to believe in his Dueling and save the world. Riley, Sora, and Aster also voiced their belief in him, and Yuya started to get his motivation back. Declan advised Yuya to focus on winning, and Yuya Pendulum Summoned "[[Performapal Trap Mimic]]", "[[Performapal Flatrat]]" and "Odd-Eyes". He used the effect of "Trap Mimic" to destroy "Dragonvine" and copy its effect, regaining control of "Dark Rebellion" and taking control of "Clear Wing". Yuya used the effects of "Dark Rebellion" and "Clear Wing" to reduce the ATK of "Starving Venom" and counter Yuri's attempts to stop it. Yuri used "[[Ridiculing World]]" to increase all of Yuya's monsters ATK to prevent them from attacking, but Yuya used the second effect of "Flatrat" to change the ATK of "Odd-Eyes" back to normal. He destroyed "Starving Venom" and used the effect of "Odd-Eyes" to defeat Yuri. Yuya began to walk towards Yuri and told everybody that he had won by focusing only on winning - Declan's advice had inadvertently caused Yuya to succumb to Z-ARC's will, and Yuya told him that he would keep winning until the world was destroyed. His aura exploded as he absorbed Yuri, flinging his pendant away as "Stargazer Magician" and "Timegazer Magician" fused into "Astrograph Sorcerer". Yuya was then fused with the dragons via "Astrograph Sorcerer" back into the [[Supreme King Z-ARC (character)|Supreme King Z-ARC]].<ref name="ep135" /><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya fighting with Zarc.png|thumb|left|Yuya fights with Z-ARC for control of his body.]]<br />
As Z-ARC battled against the Lancers and their allies, they continued to try to reach out to Yuya and his counterparts, but to little avail. While Z-ARC told Declan he was the true founder of the [[Pendulum]], Yuya held his head in denial inside of Z-ARC's mind. When Zuzu called out to him, Z-ARC denied everything she said while Yuya wanted him to stop. He managed to regain control after Zuzu reminded Yuya how he chased after her to save her. He caught his pendant from Declan and remembered his father's words, using "[[Smile Universe (anime)|Smile Universe]]" to revive "[[Supreme King Z-ARC (anime)|Supreme King Z-ARC]]" and "[[Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes (anime)|Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes]]" with their effects negated and treated as [[Normal Monster]]s. Z-ARC tried to regain control, but Yuya held him off as his Spell increased Riley and Ray's LP equal to his monster's ATK. He told Riley to attack him and was defeated as Z-ARC was sealed into Riley to prevent him from splitting into four again. As he returned to normal, Yuya screamed Riley's name.<ref name="ep140"/><br />
<br />
Following Z-ARC's defeat and the rebirth of the [[Standard Dimension]] into the "Pendulum Dimension", Yuya lost his memories of Zuzu and the [[Lancers]]' adventures. He overslept and rushed to [[You Show Duel School]] with his [[Rollerboots]] but was hit in the head with Zuzu's paper fan by [[Skip Boyle|Skip]] upon arriving late, but neither he nor Skip remembered why they had the fan. When [[Frederick]], [[Tate]], and [[Allie]] asked him where he got his boots from, Yuya explained that they were a gift, but he couldn't remember who had given them to him. While he was Dueling all three of them at once, Skip deactivated the ARC System, explaining that Yuya had received a invitation from Declan for the [[Arc League Championship|Junior Arc League Championship]]. Yuya met Gong and Sylvio at [[Leo Institute of Dueling]], where they learned from Declan that they would Duel in a [[Battle Royal]]. Upon "[[Quartet of Quandry]]" [[Activate|activating]], Yuya realized that he'd been there before, which the fourth Duelist, [[Moon Shadow]], confirmed. Yuya took the first turn, bringing out "[[Performapal Hip Hippo (anime)|Performapal Hip Hippo]]" and using his "Rolling Hippo" technique and "[[Hippo Carnival (anime)|Hippo Carnival]]" to stop Gong and Sylvio's attacks. When Moon Shadow reminded them of the Arc League Championship, Yuya's memories started to return. Moon Shadow beat Yuya back with his superior athletic skills and "[[Illusion Ninjitsu Art of Hazy Shuriken]]", destroying Yuya's [[Hippo Token]]s with "[[Twilight Ninja Getsuga, the Shogun (anime)|Twilight Ninja Getsuga, the Shogun]]" empowered by the Pendulum Effects of "[[Twilight Ninja Jogen (anime)|Twilight Ninja Jogen]]" and "[[Twilight Ninja Kagen (anime)|Twilight Ninja Kagen]]", inflicting enough piercing battle damage to win the Duel.<ref name="ep141">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|141|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:ArcV 142.png|thumb|Yuya regaining all of his memories.]]<br />
Yuya was able to use "Hip Hippo" to distract Moon Shadow while he defended with "[[Miracle]]". Sylvio seized the chance to defeat Yuya by increasing the battle damage with "[[Abyss Improv]]", but Gong [[Superheavy Samurai Helper (anime)|increased]] the [[DEF]] of the "Hippo Token", causing Moon Shadow to take damage. Gong explained that he wanted to defeat Yuya himself, and Yuya thanked Gong and suggested that they defeat Sylvio and Moon Shadow first. As Yuya Pendulum Summoned "Odd-Eyes" and attacked "Curtain Raiser", his memory of [[Turbo Duel]]ing [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack Atlas]] returned, and as he continued his attack, he wondered why he had went to the [[Synchro Dimension]]. He used "[[Dragon's Shadow Performance]]" and was about to perform until his memory of Dueling Aster and the torn "Smile World" returned as well. He snapped out of his daze and Tributed "Hippo Token" to equip "Hip Hippo" to "Odd-Eyes" but Sylvio [[Abyss Script - Shadow Spirit|had]] its ATK become equal to its DEF. When Sylvio attacked, Yuya found and used "[[Encore]]" to copy the effect of "Evasion", but still took damage when Moon Shadow used "Hazy Shuriken". As Sylvio used "[[Abyss Entertainment]]" to attack again with "Superstar", Yuya's remembered going to Duel Academy with the Lancers to rescue someone. He then used the second effect of "Dragon's Shadow" to prevent "Odd-Eyes" from being destroyed while taking damage. When Skip arrived at the stadium and told Yuya that Zuzu was gone, he regained his memories of her and started to remember everything, including being one of Z-ARC's reincarnations.<ref name="ep142">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|142|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:ArcV 143.png|thumb|left|Yuya sees baby Riley.]]<br />
After regaining his memories, Yuya wondered where Zuzu and Riley were. When [[Henrietta Akaba|Henrietta]] revealed a baby Riley, Yuya was surprised learned from Declan that the [[Four Nature Cards]] turned Riley back into a baby and lost his smile due to absorbing Z-ARC's soul to save Yuya. He also learned the reason for reenacting the Arc League Championship was to return Riley's smile and save the world through his Dueltaining. Yuya then figured out that Z-ARC's soul being in some part of Riley will resurrect again and destroy the world again if they don't do it. Yuya wasn't sure how to defeat his evil incarnation until his father told him the answer was inside of him and that he must continue to win the Junior Arc League Championship or risk losing Riley and Zuzu. When [[Yoko Sakaki|his mother]] tried to motivate him, it backfired and Yuya silenced her, saying it was his problem. He then switched his monsters into [[Defense Position]] and Set a card, still wondering how to save everyone. Gong destroyed his monsters and attacked directly, but Yuya used "Evasion" to dodge it. As he was about be attacked by "[[Superheavy Samurai Steam Train King (anime)|Superheavy Samurai Steam Train King]]", he used another "Evasion" but Gong countered with "No Action" to negate and destroy it. Reaching the end of the path, Yuya used "[[Performapal Signal]]", drawing "Sword Fish" and sending it to the Graveyard to negate the attack. However, Gong used the effect of "Train King" to banish all [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s from his Graveyard to inflict 200 damage to Yuya for each card. Gong told him he could do better if he wanted to become a pro and Dueltainer like his father, and Yuya protested that he was trying his hardest to save Zuzu and Riley with his Dueltaining. He brought back "Odd-Eyes" and attacked "Train King" while using "[[Pendulum Illusion]]" to halve its [[DEF]] and inflict piercing damage by sending an Action Card to the Graveyard, doubling the damage with the effect of "Odd-Eyes", but preserving "Train King". Gong retaliated by destroying "Odd-Eyes" with the effect of "Train King" and damaging Yuya with its second effect. Yuya and Gong contested for Action Cards as they raced through "Quartet of Quandry", whittling down each other's LP, and Yuya was eventually able to win. Gong told Yuya that his Dueltaining was better than this and urged him to prove it by saving Zuzu and Riley. Declan arrived, announcing that Yuya wouldn't be promoted to the Senior class yet, explaining that the Battle Royal was done as a continuation for the Arc League Championship due to [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]]'s invasion and would only permit one Duelist from the Lancers advance to the Senior class. He went with Declan to the [[Interdimensional Travel Technology|dimensional corridor gate]] to go to the Xyz Dimension. Believing his next opponent to be Shay and planning on saving Celina, Lulu, and Rin, Yuya entered the gate. However, upon reaching the end of the gate, he was surprised to see [[Dennis McField|Dennis]].<ref name="ep143">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|143|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
He learned that Dennis would be his opponent instead of Shay, who had gone to the Fusion Dimension to save Lulu. Realizing that Shay didn't know what had really happened to the girls, Yuya decided to pursue Shay. Dennis, who still wanted to Duel Yuya, stopped him, revealing to Yuya's surprise that he had been one of Yusho's students. Yuya accepted the challenge after noticing the kids he had rescued when he first arrived in Heartland and brought out "Odd-Eyes". But, when their parents didn't want them to watch the Duel, Yuya was angry when Dennis threatened to seal them back into cards if they didn't watch. When "[[Performage Trapeze Witch]]" attacked him, Yuya tried to use an Action Card but couldn't due to "[[Ancient Gear Mask]]'s" effect and took double the damage. Wondering why Dennis had return to old ways, Yuya learned from Aster that Yuya that it was Duel Academy's fault that they're being seen as detestable beings for [[Human Sealing Technology|sealing everybody into cards]] and even if they restore the Xyz Dimension, the people still won't forgive them due to inflicting large wounds. He was also asked by Aster that if he could communicate with Dueling, they might be able to see a solution.<ref name="ep144">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|144|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Understanding Dennis' true intention, Yuya brought back "Odd-Eyes and summoned "[[Performapal Miracle Mirrorabbit]]". He attacked "Force Witch" while using the effect of "Mirrorabbit" to redirect "Force Witch's" effect to itself. Though "Ancient Gear Mask" prevents the destruction of "Force Witch", Yuya used the second effect of "Mirrorabbit" to allow "Odd-Eyes" a second attack at the expense of its own while using "Mirrorabbit's" first effect again to redirect "Force Witch's" effect to itself, destroying "Force Witch". Yuya then forced Dennis giving evil persona by announcing that he crossed dimensions to give an amazing Dueltainment. His monsters were attacked by "[[Performage Trapeze Magician (anime)|Performage Trapeze Magician]]", but Yuya used "Evasion" for "Mirrorabbit" and "Miracle" for "Odd-Eyes", destroying "Trapeze Magician". But, Dennis used "[[Rank-Up-Magic Magical Force]]" to [[Rank-Up]] "Trapeze Magician" into "[[Performage Trapeze High Magician]]" and was attacked three times due to its effect but survived with "[[Performage Bubble Gardna]]'s" Pendulum Effect. He brought back "Odd-Eyes" and "Mirrorabbit" again and summoned "Sword Fish", using its effect to reduce "Trapeze High Magician's" ATK but Dennis used "Trapeze High Magician's" effect to prevent its from destruction up to thrice per turn. Yuya used "[[Challenge Stairs]]" to send a card he controls to the Graveyard to let his monsters attack again if they fail to destroy Dennis' monsters and "[[Hope Stairs]]" to increase the attacking monster's ATK by 400 until the next [[Standby Phase]]. He attacked "Trapeze High Magician" repeatedly using spells, [[Monster Effect]]s, and "Miarcle" until it was destroyed, defeating Dennis and caught him as he fell off of [[Heartland Tower (ARC-V)|Heartland Tower]]. When all of the kids wanted him to teach them Dueltaining, Yuya promised them Dennis would be their teacher and leaves to go to the Fusion Dimension.<ref name="ep144" /><br />
<br />
Yuya arrived in the ruins of Duel Academy, and he recalled the devastation caused by Supreme King Z-ARC. Sora met with Yuya and told him to follow him. Yuya explained that he was looking for Shay, and Sora reassured Yuya that he was taking him to Shay. They found Shay trying to enter Leo's chambers, with [[Alexis Rhodes (ARC-V)|Alexis Rhodes]] attempting to stop him. Alexis explained to Yuya that Leo was attempting to revive Ray again, and Yuya explained to Shay about Ray's connection to Zuzu and Lulu. Shay was incensed at the implication that his memories with Lulu were false, and Yuya agreed that his memories with Zuzu felt real. He challenged Shay to a Duel, but Shay refused, intent on getting to Leo. Sora and Alexis let them in to find Leo looking at a specter that resembled Zuzu. Leo explained that as Yuya's counterparts had been absorbed by Yuya, he believed that Ray's fragments had been absorbed by Zuzu and that she would eventually be reborn. Shay attempted to punch Leo, but stopped after Leo admitted that he had ignored the lives of Ray's fragments and deserved to be hit. Shay agreed to Yuya's challenge, explaining that he would accept Lulu's disappearance if he lost, but Yuya would have to leave him alone if Shay won. Yuya agreed, and the two went all out from the start, countering one another's Action Cards as Yuya brought out "Odd-Eyes" and Shay Xyz Summoned "[[Raidraptor - Rise Falcon (anime)|Rise Falcon]]". Yuya assembled two Level 4 monsters, "Xiangsheng Magician" and "[[Balance Magician]]", but as he had against Dennis, he did not Xyz Summon "Dark Rebellion" and instead attacked "Rise Falcon". Shay Ranked-Up "Rise Falcon" into "[[Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon (anime)|Revolution Falcon]]" and attempted to use its effect to defeat Yuya, but Yuya reduced the ATK of "Odd-Eyes" with the effect of "Balance Magician" to reduce the damage and brought out "[[Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Lancer Dragon]]". "Lancer Dragon" turned the Duel in Yuya's favor by destroying "Revolution Falcon", but Shay used "[[Rank-Up-Magic Doom Double Force (anime)|Rank-Up-Magic Doom Double Force]]" to Rank-Up "Revolution Falcon" into "[[Raidraptor - Final Fortress Falcon (anime)|Raidraptor - Final Fortress Falcon]]", forcing Yuya onto the defensive. After fending off two attacks from "Final Fortress Falcon", Yuya activated "[[Cross Damage]]" with the apparent intent to end the Duel in a draw, but he used the effect of "Lancer Dragon" to survive and inflict enough damage to Shay to win. Yuya helped Shay to his feet, but Shay denied that Lulu was gone, claiming to have seen Yuto within Yuya when he ended the Duel and explaining that his hope for their survival had been strengthened. Yuya agreed that he would make Riley smile and save Zuzu and Lulu, but then [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack]], who had been watching the Duel from a balcony, declared that Yuya couldn't save anyone in his current state.<ref name="ep145">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|145|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri inside Yuya.png|thumb|Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri appearing before Yuya.]]<br />
When Yuya was questioned by Sora and Shay about him being afraid, Jack explained that Yuya feared using the Four Dimensional Dragons because he might integrate with them again. He told Yuya he was disqualified as a Duelist for not having free control over his dragons, despite their ferociousness. Yuya told Jack refused to use the dragons out of fear of hurting Riley and tried to make her smile without them. However, Jack told Yuya that he mustn't hesitate and use the four dragons if he wanted to achieve his goal with Declan agreeing. He even learned from Declan that his Duels with Shay and Dennis didn't make Riley smile as they had been intended to do. Yuya was surprised when the [[Multiverse Speedway]] activated throughout the Four Dimensions and learned from Declan that he wanted to show everyone the ultimate [[Turbo Duel]] make Riley smile this time. Yuya was also surprised when Crow brought him his old [[Duel Runner]] and Turbo suit and learned everyone was looking forward to it. Yuya thought about everything that happened and was told by Jack to bring out the four dragons, but was still hesitant. He Pendulum Summoned "Odd-Eyes", "[[Performapal Coin Dragon (anime)|Performapal Coin Dragon]]", and "[[Performapal Odd-Eyes Minitaurus (anime)|Performapal Odd-Eyes Minitaurus]]", but still refused to summon the other dragons and wanted to win without using them. Yuya attacked "[[Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend]]", while using the effects of "Coin Dragon" and "Minitaurus" to increase the ATK of "Odd-Eyes" and lower that of "Scarlight". Jack used "[[Red Gem]]" to protect "Scarlight", and he told Yuya that he was unsatisfied with the Duel. He used the effect of "Scarlight" to destroy all of Yuya's monsters and deal damage, but Yuya was able to preserve "Odd-Eyes and "Coin Dragon" due to the effect of "Coin Dragon". Jack then destroyed "Coin Dragon" and told Yuya he had one chance left to bring out all four dragons. However, Yuya still refused due to his fear that Zuzu, Celina, Lulu, and Rin would be endangered as well. Yuya attacked "Scarlight" using the same combo again, but Jack was able to withstand him once again. Disappointed in Yuya for not bringing out the four dragons, Jack told him he would destroy him, bringing out "[[Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend]]" to destroy "Coin Dragon" again. After Jack used "Scarlight" to destroy "Minitaurus", Yuya was surprised to see Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri speak to him from inside his mind. They told Yuya that they and their dragons didn't want to lose, and with their help he should be able to hear the dragons' voices. Yuya negated the attack of "Scarlight" with "[[Performapal Odd-Eyes Dissolver (anime)|Performapal Odd-Eyes Dissolver]]", which also negated the effect of "Tyrant". Jack used the effect of "Scarlight" again to destroy Yuya's monsters, except "Dissolver" due to its own effect. Yuya revived his monsters a third time, angering Jack, but Yuya reassured him that he understood what he meant. With the aid of Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri, he Summoned "Dark Rebellion", "Clear Wing", and "Starving Venom". As the Four Dimensional Dragons resonated with each other, Yuya realized that they were scared of Ray and wanted to stop her resurrection. He told them not to be afraid; he'd prove that they were strong enough without becoming "Supreme King Z-ARC".<ref name="ep146">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|146|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
Yuya used the effect of "Starving Venom" to negate and steal the effects of "Scarlight" and "Tyrant" while using its second effect to increase its ATK equal to the ATK of all Special Summoned monsters Jack controls. Yuya then used the stolen effect of "Scarlight" to try to destroy all monsters and deal damage but Jack used "[[Invalidate]]" to protect it. Yuya revealed that he'd expected Jack to evade the effect, and he agreed to show him the power of the dragons. He used the effect of "Dark Rebellion" twice to weaken "Tyrant" and "Scarlight", then attacked "Tyrant" with "Starving Venom" and "Dark Rebellion", but Jack protected "Tyrant" with Action Cards. "Clear Wing" finally destroyed "Tyrant", but Jack used "Invalidate" to halve the damage. Yuya then attacked "Scarlight" with "Odd-Eyes", but Jack used "[[Rejuvenation]]" to increase the ATK of "Scarlight". With help from "Clear Wing", Yuya grabbed "[[Charge Recklessly]]" and used it to increase the ATK of "Odd-Eyes" and deal enough damage to defeat Jack. As they stopped in Paradise Stadium, Jack warned Yuya that even though he had mastered the four dragons, Jack still hadn't heard his soul roar.<ref name="ep147">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|147|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya summoning all Four Dimensional Dragons.png|thumb|left|Yuya summoning the [[Four Dimensional Dragons]] in one turn.]]<br />
Declan arrived at the Stadium, and he explained that Z-ARC's soul had nearly awakened during the Duel, but Riley still hadn't smiled. Yuya wondered what else he could do after Jack told him he was still missing something while learning he was promoted to the Senior division. However, Yuya challenged Declan to a Duel after learning that he could protest. While looking around "[[Performance Coliseum]]", Yuya thought about how Pendulum Summoning was unique to him and didn't question why, but now he knew why Pendulum was born and why he was the first. He Pendulum-Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Summoned the Four Dimensional Dragons on the first turn and used each of them to get Action Cards to protect them from Declan's "[[D/D/D Doom King Armageddon (later anime)|Doom King Armageddons]]". After destroying the first "Doom King Armageddon", Yuya regained a memory of Z-ARC's; Z-ARC had wanted to entertain everyone, but his audience wanted more violent Duels, causing Z-ARC to become a demon. Yuya realized that Z-ARC didn't really want to destroy the world, but to make everyone smile. He witnessed Declan perform Pendulum-Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Summons of his own, calling out "[[D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon (anime)|D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon]]", "[[D/D/D Super Doom King Bright Armageddon (anime)|D/D/D Super Doom King Bright Armageddon]]", and "[[D/D/D Super Doom King Dark Armageddon (anime)|D/D/D Super Doom King Dark Armageddon]]".<ref name="ep147" /><br />
<br />
The "Super Doom Kings" destroyed all of Yuya's monsters with their effects, reducing him to 1250 LP. Declan asked Yuya if he could make him smile after losing his dragons, and Yuya replied that he didn't know, but that he would do his best to make everyone smile, save the world, and bring back Zuzu. He asked Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri to lend their power to him once more, further deciding to smile himself to make Z-ARC smile. Yuya used "[[Odd-Eyes Fusiongate]]" to fuse "Odd-Eyes" and "Starving Venom into "[[Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon]]", which gained the ATK of all Declan's monsters, Yuya attacked "Bright Armageddon". But Declan used the effect of "Bright Armageddon" to return the ATK of "Venom Dragon" to normal and destroy it as Yuya found "[[Wonder Chance]]". He then used the effect of "Odd-Eyes Fusiongate" to send it to the Graveyard and add "[[Odd-Eyes Synchrogate]]" to his hand, which he subsequently activated to tune "Odd-Eyes" with "Clear Wing" and Synchro Summon "[[Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon]]". He then used the effect of "Wing Dragon" to destroy all of his monsters and gain ATK equal to the destroyed monsters, Declan used the effect of "Dark Armageddon" to prevent Pendulum Monsters he control from being destroyed by card effects. He then attacked "Dark Armageddon" and destroyed "Wing Dragon" on purpose in order to send "Odd-Eyes Synchrogate" to the Graveyard and add "[[Odd-Eyes Xyzgate]]" to his hand. He then activated it to overlay "Odd-Eyes" and "Dark Rebellion" to "[[Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon]]" and used the second effect of "Xyzgate" and "Wonder Chance" to its ATK and allow it to attack two more times. Yuya attacked the "Super Doom Kings", however Declan's used the effect of "Purple Armageddon" to prevent his Pendulum Monsters from being destroyed by battle.<ref name="ep148">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

<br />
[[File:Yuya passing his Pro test.png|thumb|Yuya passing his Pro test after defeating Declan and making Riley laugh.]]<br />
When Declan used the effect of "Purple Armageddon" to destroy "Rebellion Dragon" and inflict damage, Yuya used "[[Abysmal Entertainment]]" to place "Rebellion Dragon" into his [[Pendulum Zone]] and prevent him from taking damage. He then used the Pendulum Effect of "Rebellion Dragon" to place "[[Performapal Five-Rainbow Magician (anime)|Performapal Five-Rainbow Magician]]" in his other Pendulum Zone. When he Pendulum Summoned "Venom Dragon", "White Dragon", "[[Performapal Odd-Eyes Seer (anime)|Performapal Odd-Eyes Seer]]", and "[[Performapal Ignition Eagle]]", Declan used the effect of "Bright Armageddon" again to negate all of Yuya's monsters effects except for "Odd-Eyes Seer". Yuya used the effect of "Odd-Eyes Seer" to revive "Odd-Eyes", but Declan used the effect of "Bright Armageddon" a third time to negate all monster effects except "Ignition Eagle". Yuya then used the Pendulum Effect of "Five-Rainbow Magician" to lower every monsters ATK to 0, negate their attacks and effects. He and Declan had to Set five cards in order to negate the effect and double their monsters' ATK, but to use this effect they would have to to skip their [[Draw Phase]] and would only be able to Set one card each turn. Declan was able to Set four cards, but Yuya managed to Set all five and attack. However, Declan used the effect of "[[D/D Savant Einstein]]" to Set a card and counterattack. Yuya used the effect of "Ignition Eagle" to switch it with "Rebellion Dragon" and increase the ATK of "Odd-Eyes" ATK by that of "Rebellion Dragon", but Declan used the effects of "Purple Armageddon" to prevent his monsters' destruction and return the ATK of "Odd-Eyes" to normal. As Declan prepared to defeat him, Yuya used the Pendulum Effect of "Ignition Eagle" to increase the ATK of "Odd-Eyes" by sending "[[Performapal]]s to his Graveyard, defeating Declan.<br />
<br />
To Yuya's joy, their Action Duel had made Riley laugh. Declan declared that Yuya had passed his Pro test. Yuya then witnessed Ray's revival as Zuzu, and he happily welcomed her home. To his surprise, his father appeared at the stadium and challenged him to a Duel. Yuya accepted his father's challenge, declaring that he would continue bringing smiles with his Dueling and surpass his father as an Dueltainer, stating that the fun had just begun.<ref name="ep148" /><br />

==Relationships==<br />
{{cleanup|section}}<br />
===Yusho Sakaki===<br />
[[File:Young Yuya & his dad.jpg|thumb|left|Picture of Yuya & Yusho.]]<br />
Yusho is Yuya's father. Yuya loves and admires his father immensely and dreams to become a professional Dueltainer like him. It is also through Yusho's Dueling Yuya developed his belief that Dueling is for fun and makes people happy. Despite his father's sudden disappearance, Yuya continues to respect and admire his father, believing there's a reason for his disappearance and dislikes when someone make a fun of his father.<br />
<br />
Yusho is ultimately the reason, however, for Z-ARC's revival. In addition to raising Z-ARC's Standard Dimension reincarnation as a Duelist, his carding at the hands of Yuri is ultimately what allows for Z-ARC to be revived.<br />
<br />
===Yoko Sakaki===<br />
Yoko is Yuya's mother. Although not as close as Yuya did with his father, Yuya is also in a good relationship with his mother like a normal mother and son. Yoko understood how her son was feeling when Yusho disappeared and is supportive of Yuya's dream to become a professional Dueltainer like his father. She would help and take care of Yuya in any way she can when he is in trouble, as shown when Yuya was unconscious for two days after his meeting with Yuto and Yugo. However, Yuya is sometimes flustered whenever his mother's fondness for cute boys get the better of her.<br />
<br />
===Zuzu Boyle===<br />
[[File:Yuya Cries After Being Reuinited With Zuzu.png|thumb|Yuya cries after being reunited with Zuzu in the Synchro Dimension.]]<br />
[[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]] is Yuya's closest childhood friend. To Yuya, Zuzu is an irreplaceable figure in his life and he cherishes her greatly. As she is someone who has always been with him. Zuzu is supportive of Yuya and would help him whenever he is in trouble by defending him when someone may try to insult him. Zuzu also acts as a "straight man" in a comedic act with Yuya, usually beating him with her paper fan whenever he angered her. Behind this however, she harbors romantic feelings for Yuya. These feelings are made apparent when Zuzu blushed when Sora mistook her as his girlfriend, when she accidentally hugged Yuya which caused her to push him away in panic, and jealous whenever Aura makes advances towards him or calling him "darling". Earlier in the series, Yuya had only thought of her as his close friend, evidenced in that he protested at the prospect of dating a crude strong girl like Zuzu when Sora mistook her as his girlfriend. However, even at this point his feelings for Zuzu were no less caring as he cries when he realizes Zuzu was gone after Duel Academy attacked Paradise City (unaware that she teleported to another dimension with Yugo previously).<br />
<br />
[[File:Yuya & Zuzu share a moment.png|thumb|left|Yuya and Zuzu share a loving moment.]]<br />
As the series has progressed, it has been strongly implied that Yuya likely returns Zuzu's feelings and looks at her as more than just a sister or a friend. Even as Celina was about to be teleported away back to the Fusion Dimension, Yuya did not move away from Zuzu's side, and not long after he made the heartbreaking decision to abandon his Dueltainer/smile philosophy so long as he could successfully protect Zuzu and make her smile. This was especially symbolic as he discarded "[[Smile World (anime)|Smile World]]"; the symbol of his ideal, to free Zuzu from [[Sergey Volkov|Sergey]]'s cards. His failure to protect her in this instance caused him to passionately fight to rescue her from [[Jean Michel Roget]] and upon doing so, he hugged her warmly after reuniting with her in the Synchro Dimension. He became emotionally shattered and heartbroken after he heard and then saw Zuzu under the control of the Doktor, which caused him to Awaken for the first time on his own accord and he was overjoyed when Zuzu regained her mind after she was freed from the Parasite Monster's control. Whilst Zuzu was kidnapped and being fused with her counterparts in the Revival Zero project, Yuya tried to fight his anger for her, so as to not Awaken. However after seeing the process begin to intensify, and hearing her pleas for help, he gave into his anger in an attempt to save her. Furthermore, his incredibly strong feelings for her are reinforced after having remembered Zuzu in the "Pendulum Dimension" and the fact she wasn't there, which made his happy demeanor shift immediately to one of inner turmoil and absolute despair, along with tumultuous guilt at the fact he had not remembered her sooner.<br />
<br />
Yuya is also supportive of Zuzu and is grateful for all her help over the years. When she is depressed, Yuya always gives his encouragement to steer her spirit. Yuya's bond with Zuzu is shown to be very deep, as shown during the aftermath of Battle Royal, Zuzu is the one whose well-being Yuya cares the most for as he stated how Zuzu is the one who is always by his side from the very beginning and it was also thanks to her he was able to grow his Pendulum Summoning. If one of them is depressed, the other is usually the one to cheer them up. This bond culminated in Zuzu's speech to Z-ARC that she believed that Yuya was not a demon despite being the reincarnation of the destroyer of the Original Dimension, allowing for Yuya to break free of Z-ARC's control and allow Ray/Riley to defeat him. It is therefore likely to assume that the two do have a mutual affection and love for one another.<br />
<br />
===Yuto===<br />
[[Yuto]] is Yuya's Xyz Dimension counterpart. From the brief moment of their first meeting, though Yuya was initially wary and skeptical of him, Yuto developed a strong trust towards his counterpart as both see Dueling as a means to make people smile and give them happiness. Their differing personalities and stark experiences also make them each other's foils.<br />
<br />
Their shared hopes and desires is what motivated Yuto to entrust Yuya with his Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon just before being absorbed into Yuya, giving the confused youth parting words that give Yuya strength at times when he began to lose his confidence. Following their fusion, due to Z-ARC's influence starting to consume them and compel them to act violently, Yuya would find himself possessed by Yuto's anger and sadness and was initially until he understood Yuto's pain and wish to peace. This allowed Yuya to slowly warmed up to Yuto's presence within him and come to understand him better.<br />
<br />
Shortly after arriving at Heartland City, Yuya advised by him to keep their merged state a secret, Yuto began actively interacting with Yuya within his subconscious as the two resolve to fight Duel Academy together. Their similar goals toward making people smile in Duels and desire to not harm anyone as well end the war peacefully and protect their friends, families, and allies have contributed to Yuya's strong and brotherly relationship with Yuto. Following Z-ARC's defeat, Yuto reaffirmed his support to Yuya during his duel against Jack as he appears in spirit beside Yuya when he Xyz Summoned Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon.<br />
<br />
===Yugo===<br />
[[Yugo]] is Yuya's Synchro Dimension counterpart, their physical encounters were brief though that have been mentally [[Synchronize (ability)|synchronized]]. When this happens, Yugo takes on Yuya's mannerisms and Dueling style. While Yugo seems unaware of this, Yuya had his suspicions about this happening after Yugo's Duel with Celina. Despite their brief relationship prior to learning their origins as Z-ARC's incarnations, Yuya showed legitimate concern for Yugo when he learned that Yuri had absorbed him. During the duel with Jack, Yugo and his other counterparts, showed their support to Yuya and his spirit appeared beside Yuya when he Synchro Summoned Clear Wing Synchro Dragon for the first time.<br />
<br />
===Yuri===<br />
Yuya and his Fusion Dimension counterpart [[Yuri]] are complete opposites of one another: while Yuya seeks to make everyone smile with his Dueling, Yuri Duels to satisfy his sadistic personal desires. Yuri's actions cause more harm to Yuya than anyone else in the series despite their brief interaction due to Yuri's personality, intent, and actions. As the last two incarnations of Z-ARC after they absorbed their counterparts, Yuri believes that he and Yuya are the same and should join back as one. Yuya refuses to accept Yuri's ideology along with the notion that they are anything alike. But Yuri believes that Yuya is lying to himself, using Yusho's card to force his counterpart a duel with the intent of encouraging him to give into Z-ARC's influence and become the "true Yuya" before absorbing him. Though Yuri lost the duel, he got his wish when Z-ARC took over Yuya's body and absorbed him. Following Z-ARC's defeat, having helped Yuya act against their original self, Yuri became less antagonistic towards Yuya. During the Duel with Jack, he expressed his absorbed counterparts' refusal to let him lose, and Yuri showed his support to Yuya and appeared in spirit beside Yuya when he Fusion Summoned Starving Venom Fusion Dragon for the first time.<br />
<br />
===Gong Strong===<br />
Gong is Yuya's childhood friend and one of his close friends. When Yuya was bullied for defending his father, Gong was the one who protected Yuya from the bullies and is quite protective of him. For years, Gong also helped Yuya on finding an opponent for Duel with his dojo's connection, something that Yuya is very grateful for. His friendship with Gong made Yuya at first hesitated when he has no choice but to Duel with him to enter Arc League Championship out of fear it would make Gong lose his chance to enter as well. Gong is always supportive of Yuya, and often worries whenever something happened to him, usually giving him a hug after he is confirmed to be fine.<br />
<br />
Throughout the series, the two are continuously seen supporting the other in their Duels, culminating in Gong's loss to the [[Battle Beast]] to protect Yuya, and Gong's efforts with Jack Atlas to free him from Z-ARC's control.<br />
<br />
===Frederick, Tate and Allie===<br />
Yuya acts as somewhat an older brother figure for the three of them, who in turn refers to him as "Yuuya-oniichan" (Japanese version only). Yuya always teaches and cheers them in their Duels, serving as emotional support for them when they lost and encourages them not to give up. Frederick, Tate, and Allie admire Yuya and sometimes also like to tease him for his obliviousness about Zuzu's feelings for him.<br />
<br />
===Sora Perse===<br />
Yuya at first was annoyed and flustered when Sora followed him everywhere and insisted for him to make Sora his apprentice, but they eventually get along well. Yuya thinks Sora as a dear friend and cares for his well-being, defending him when he appeared to be in trouble and expressed concern when he was injured. Sora, on the other hand, admires Yuya after he saw his match and insisted to be his apprentice, but then decided to become his friend after he lost in the Duel. Sora has shown great interest towards Yuya for many of his achievements in Duels that he claims to always be beyond his expectations. However, while Sora truly thinks that Dueling with Yuya is exciting, he claimed that he was just playing around as his loyalty to Duel Academy and their goal is more important to him than their friendship. Despite this and seeing Sora change people into cards in front of his own eyes, Yuya still considers Sora as his friend and is determined to make Sora smile and enjoy Dueling like when they first Dueled.<br />
<br />
Yuya slowly succeeded in urging Sora to change his ways as Sora has decided to help and protect Celina from the Obelisk Force instead of capturing her and handing her over to Duel Academy. This progression eventually culminated in his full betrayal of his school, becoming an official member of the Lancers with Crow.<br />
<br />
===Declan Akaba===<br />
During their first Duel, Yuya was respectful and friendly to Declan, and was impressed by his ability to use Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz. He gladly showed Declan his Dueltainment and enjoyed Declan's compliments. He was shocked when Declan Pendulum Summoned and suggested Pendulum's evolution, and now considers Declan a rival, and was motivated to face him again.<br />
<br />
However, any respect Yuya had towards Declan was immediately lost when Declan revealed that the Battle Royal was a test to recruit Lancers and that he plotted for his friends to fend off the Fusion Dimension invaders which resulted in many of them being sealed in cards. Yuya now held a grudge towards Declan and blamed him for the loss of his friends and Zuzu's disappearance, and even tried to punch him out of anger. Angered by his indifference, Yuya refused to join the Lancers and only accepted to Duel Declan to force him to repent. During the Duel, he played aggressively, neither smiling nor using his Dueltaining techniques at all.<br />
<br />
During their Duel, Declan was indifferent to Yuya's attitude, and did not tell him the truth about Zuzu's disappearance, in their Duel in order to test his abilities. He only told him the truth after their Duel just when they were heading to the Synchro Dimension, where Zuzu also was. Despite having accepted to join the Lancers, Yuya continued to be hostile towards Declan, and his opinion of him further soured when he learned how he treated Riley.<br />
<br />
Despite their differences in preferences and methods, Yuya eventually came to trust in Declan after talking with Moon Shadow about him, and he knows that his actions and intentions in the end were to protect the rest of Paradise City. This trust can be seen when he discovered that Declan and Riley were prisoners under Roget and he declines Roget's offer of alliance.<br />
<br />
Despite the rockiness of their relationship, any hostility Yuya may have felt towards Declan appears to have vanished after their reunion in the Fusion Dimension as they have co-operated well. Declan, in turn has proven that he believes in and trusts Yuya, as seen in their Duel against his father, where Declan refused to turn on Yuya despite the danger he presented as a reincarnation of Z-ARC, showing how despite the their differences the two are true allies and friends.<br />
<br />
===Celina===<br />
When Yuya first saw Celina, he mistook her for Zuzu due to their similar appearance. Yuya and Celina generally get along well, given their shared goal of rescuing Zuzu, but Celina's impatience and hot-headed nature tend to clash with Yuya's more patient and pragmatic nature. He has shown to value her, as he refused Sora's offer to trade her in exchange for Zuzu safety from Duel Academy, showing he cares about Celina's well-being and sees her as an important ally. Once Yuya learns from Crow that the Obelisk Force has appeared based on Sora's information, he races off to find Sora and help Celina. During his Duel against Barrett, he did not give up on her. Celina watched Yuya struggle with Barrett and was touched with Yuya's promises that he would protect both her and Zuzu from Duel Academy.<br />
<br />
While their relationship suffered due to Celina's mind-control induced betrayal against the Lancers and her kidnapping of Zuzu, Yuya showed relief when she was freed from the Doktor's control. Furthermore, when Yuya struggled to fend of Z-ARC during his Duel with Declan against Leo Akaba, Celina expressed her belief that Yuya could overcome the evil in his heart.<br />
<br />
===Rin===<br />
<br />
Even though she hasn't met Yuya physically, she had faith in him when he dueled Leo Akaba.<br />
<br />
===Lulu Obsidian===<br />
<br />
When she 1st met Yuya, she attacked him, but when she was free from being brainwashed, she had faith in him when he dueled Leo Akaba.<br />
<br />
===Sylvio Sawatari===<br />
Yuya first met Sylvio right before their first of two Duels. Yuya was forced to Duel Sylvio as he had been forced into a corner to save Zuzu and the younger You Show students from Sylvio's trap. After he defeated Sylvio the first time, the two became rivals. Their rivalry was renewed when they were set to face one another in the 1st round of the Arc League Championship. According to Yuya, the match was a "real" Entertainment Duel because it was capable of exciting the crowd and leaving them on the edge of their seats. The strength of Sylvio's "[[Yosenju]]" Deck forced Yuya to give it his all from the get-go of the tournament. The conclusion was entailed with a standing ovation from the audience for their great efforts. This led to Sylvio putting aside his grudges and becoming a friendly rival for Yuya. The match itself had a profound effect on Yuya in addition. Their more friendly relationship is shown later on in the Synchro Dimension when Sylvio told Yuya how excited he was to show off their Dueltaining to the Synchro Dimension during the prelude of the Friendship Cup in front of the High Council.<br />
<br />
Sylvio further showed that he cares for Yuya as a friend and fellow Dueltainer once he reunites with Yuya only to find him and Moon Shadow sporting grave injuries from Sergey and the Obelisk Force's attacks. This lead to his fury with the Obelisk Force and he mistakenly took out his anger on Sora. In addition, when Z-ARC had resurrected and taken over Yuya, Sylvio fought with everything he had in order to get through to Yuya's spirit, making several moves that were callbacks to their Duel in their Junior Arc League Championship battle.<br />
<br />
===Riley Akaba===<br />
When Lancers arrived in the Synchro Dimension and were split up, Yuya immediately noticed Riley's concern over Declan's whereabouts and his shyness. Yuya quickly became protective of Riley and made it his goal to make the young boy smile. When Yuya was arrested by Sector Security he was more worried about Riley's safety than his own and was relieved when Celina confirmed that Riley was fine. When Riley was scheduled to Duel Shinji in the Friendship Cup and ran off to Yuya and hugs him, Yuya angrily scolded Declan for forcing Riley to participate in the tournament and demanded to know why he made Riley a Lancer, worried that Riley was too young to face the dangers that being a Lancer comes with.<br />
<br />
It was Yuya who comforted Riley and ended Riley's traumatic flashbacks, and Yuya who hugs him to calm him down during the Obelisk Force's attack. Riley shows his deep attachment to Yuya by hugging and clinging to him again, begging Yuya not to leave him alone again when Yuya prepares to follow Sora. Yuya soothes Riley and has him trust Chojiro while he and Sora are gone. During the fight against Z-ARC, allowing Ray Akaba to possess him, Riley used her Four Nature Cards to extract Z-ARC's presence from Yuya's body. This resulted with Yuya, still merged with his counterparts, showing concern for Riley to the point of not using the Dimension Dragons as they might hasten the child being consumed by Z-ARC.<br />
<br />
===Crow Hogan===<br />
Crow and Yuya initially had an uneasy and wary friendship due to misunderstandings of culture and beliefs. They however, have the common ground of valuing friendships, caring for children and bringing happiness (for Crow food, for Yuya smiles), and ending suffering caused by (for Crow) the division between Tops and Commons and (for Yuya) the Dimensional War and deeply care for the other's well-being. When Crow first rescues Yuya, Riley, Celina, and Sylvio, he and Yuya formed a close bond. They value their friendship as Crow attempted to protect him and did not want Yuya to be in trouble if the prison breakout fails and Yuya wanting to have a close relationship despite Crow's intentions. However, differences in society between Synchro and Standard has Crow ridicule Yuya's philosophy and doubt Yuya's story about Duel Academy's impending invasion, which also led Crow to feel hurt and to distrust Yuya when, thanks to Roget's actions after Yuya and Shinji's Duel, a false implication that Yuya is in cahoots with Topsiders and Sector Security arises.<br />
<br />
They renewed their trust and friendship before their Duel and after Crow's interaction with Shay. However, Roget's interference and Yuya's Awakening threatened their alliance once again, with Crow starting to believe that Yuya was with the Topsiders. Fortunately, Crow finally doubts and discounts the false relationship when both their lives were in danger after a failed change in Duel lanes brought about by Yuya's Summon of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" and seeing Yuya's eyes. Sora strengthened Crow's friendship with and concerns for Yuya after giving the confirmation that Yuya is not normal and something wasn't right.<br />
<br />
Crow displays seemingly permanent trust, friendship, and care for Yuya when he shows relief that Yuya is back to normal after he wakes up and tells him about Sora and the Obelisk Force and alert that Celina's in danger. He urges Yuya to never mind him and go after Sora and Celina. Later on, he defies Shinji, Damon, and Tony, and urges them to stop the revolution and start preparing defenses against Duel Academy, making him the next Synchro ally after Chojiro Tokumatsu. Yuya was horrified when the [[Battle Beast]] sealed Crow into a card. After Crow's revival, he teamed up with Sylvio against Z-ARC to reach Yuya's sealed soul, reminding him of how he captured the hearts of everyone in the Synchro Dimension during his Duel with Jack.<br />
<br />
===Jack Atlas===<br />
Jack and Yuya have a complex mentor-student relationship. Yuya initially misunderstood and disliked Jack, like Sam and many other Commons, because of Jack ridiculing his father's philosophy and calling his Duel "self-satisfaction". His first Duel and encounter with Jack had deeply hurt Yuya's optimism and belief in Dueling. Nevertheless, Yuya seems to recognize some truth in Jack's words, as during his depression he constantly thought about what Jack told him. It is thanks to Jack that his growth both as a Duelist and Dueltainer takes on another level as the war among dimensions escalates. He slowly starts to understand Jack little by little, shown by his belief that Tuning Magician was a worthy and powerful card and the realization that Jack is the key to making the Synchro Dimension understand Duel Academy's threat.<br />
<br />
Jack himself has slowly started to respect Yuya as a fellow Dueltainer when he smiles during Yuya's against Shinji and learns about the birth and power of "Enlightenment Paladin". He began to look forward to Yuya's Duels and showed his disappointment in the Duel with Crow. He is akin to a harsh and stern teacher who bluntly tells truths, but deep in his heart he wants Yuya to grow stronger, forge a path independent of any ties with his father, and become a true Dueltainer as well as to cease Yuya's obsessions in following the footsteps of his father. Jack's words also helped Yuya understand that while he borrowed Xyz from Yuto and Synchro from Sam, Pendulum was his unique identity as a Duelist, which he developed on his own without anyone else's help. This is best shown by his message to Yuya from Sam and his irritation and anger during the beginning of their rematch in the finals of the Friendship Cup. Despite their short encounters, Jack can immediately discern Yuya's potential, the problems with his style and beliefs, and how his father shaped his Dueling. Jack, in a way, seems to have been waiting for a fellow Dueltainer to Duel with, as he sharply observes Yuya and waits for him.<br />
<br />
Yuya in turn sees Jack as a fellow Dueltainer who follows an albeit slightly different philosophy. Yuya makes this realization when he watches Jack's Duel with Sergey, and sees with his own eyes how both Topsiders and Commons unite and smile just by watching Jack's Duel. This fuels his desire to be seen as a true Dueltainer who doesn't Duel for "self-satisfaction" or arrogance to Jack and he no longer wants to Duel him just for the sake of fulfilling the Lancers' mission in the Synchro Dimension. Yuya's eventual defeat of Jack earned him Jack's trust, respect, and alliance.<br />
<br />
===Aster Phoenix===<br />
Initially, Yuya and Aster has an antagonistic relationship with each other due to the fact that they are on opposing sides and had different beliefs regarding Duel: Yuya believes that Dueling is for fun and shouldn't be used to harm anyone, while Aster believed that Dueling is symbol of strength. However, the main problem was due to Aster's one-sided hatred towards Yusho, who had defeated him, and this hatred quickly extended to Yuya who was not only Yusho's son but also used Dueltaining with the same philosophy. The moment he found out about their blood relation, Aster immediately intended to use Yuya as bait to lure out Yusho and marked him as his target, refusing to allow anyone other than himself to get him. During their second Duel, despite Aster's firm insistence, Yuya realized that Aster was actually struggling between his loyalty towards the Professor and the philosophy that his father taught him. At this realization, Yuya became determined to remind Aster how fun Dueling is, trying his best to speak with Aster by using Fusion Summoning like he did. Yuya's efforts to show how fun Dueling can be moved Aster's heart who then remembered the joy and happiness he felt when he Dueled Yusho, something that he tried to forget. By the time he lost, any contempt that Aster held for Yuya and his father immediately disappeared, defending and joining Yuya to end the dimensional war, and apologized for what he had done. Able to sense Aster's sincerity, Yuya immediately welcomed Aster as his ally with open arms and gives him his trust.<br />
<br />
===Kite Tenjo===<br />
Yuya and Kite initially shared a hostile relationship due to the latter's distrust of non-Xyz Dimension residents and Yuya's father (and former teacher) Yusho. After learning of the carding of Kite's family, Yuya realizes how immature he still is, and vows to open up Kite's heart now knowing his sadness. It is thanks to Yuya and Shay that Kite has a change of heart and adopts a Dueling style to Yuya and Yusho's, seen during his Duel against Dennis McField in front of his mentor.<br />
<br />
During his Duel with Shay against Z-ARC, Kite attempted to called out to Yuya, trying him of how he changed Kite's heart with his Dueling.<br />
<br />
===Alexis Rhodes===<br />
<br />
Despite not knowing each other for long, those 2 get along well, she was happy when Yuya defeated both Jack and Declan.<br />
<br />
===Z-ARC===<br />
[[Z-ARC]] merely viewed Yuya and his counterparts as "alter-egos" meant to ensure his revival, Yuya having expressed fear towards his past life's presence within his body as it gradually grew stronger since he absorbed Yuto. After learning the full story of Z-ARC, Yuya was determined to prevent his rebirth while attempting to resist Z-ARC's control. But Yuya's duel with Yuri enabled Z-ARC to take over Yuya's body completely, simply dismissed his existence once revived. When Yuya regained control of himself after Supreme King Z-ARC was destroyed by [[Ray Akaba|Ray]], Z-ARC attempted to force Yuya into submit while he outright deny Z-ARC's right to exist and gave Ray the opening to finish Z-ARC off. Riley then used the Four Nature Cards to separate Z-ARC from his still merged incarnations, Yuya eventually remembering Z-ARC. Yuya then finally accepts that he and Z-ARC are the same person, seeking to rectify everything that his past life has caused. However Yuya seems to feel sympathetic towards Z-ARC, claiming his intentions for more fun duels was initially pure, but the crowd's selfish desire for more violent duels pushed him to become evil and seek his vengeance.<br />
<br />
Yuya and Z-ARC have both polar opposing personalities and Dueling styles. While Z-ARC to counter almost anything the opponent tries to use against him and maintain his dominance over the field through a variety of protective effects to render himself and his monsters impervious to harm, Yuya's playstyle involves taking risks bravely rather than playing it safe, something Sylvio was quick to pick up upon.<br />
<br />
===Ray Akaba===<br />
<br />
While Ray was dueling Z-ARC, she along with Zuzu, Celina, Rin, and Lulu were all calling out to Yuya, and telling him to set himself free, and break free of Z-ARC.<br />

[[File:Performapal.png|thumb|Yuya with his "[[Performapal]]s" and "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]".]]<br />
Yuya uses a '''"[[Performapal]]"/"[[Magician]]"/"[[Odd-Eyes]]" Deck'''. The bulk of his Deck consists of "Performapal" [[Monster Card|monsters]]. The "Performapals" represent his passion for entertaining others with their cartoon-like appearance and carnival attire, while his ace monster "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" represents the courage he inherited from [[Yusho Sakaki]]. They have low attack, but varied and useful battle-related effects such as allowing multiple attacks or manipulating monsters' ATK points. For the majority of the first arc, Yuya's Deck focuses on [[Pendulum Summon]]ing. He prefers to set the Pendulum Scale with his "Magicians" to Summon monsters of various Levels during these early episodes, but in later arcs starts to make use of narrower Scales. As the series continues, he gains access to [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]], and [[Xyz Monster]]s and modifies his Deck to accommodate them. His main strategy is to use the effect of "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" to deal lots of damage to his opponent.<br />
<br />
In early arcs, Yuya's Deck contains few [[Spell Card]]s as he prefers to rely on [[Action Card]]s. He uses his high mobility monsters to traverse the Action Field in order to search for them. In later arcs, he includes more Spell Cards in his Deck.<br />

===Pre-Arc League Championship===<br />
Yuya's Deck focuses on [[Pendulum Summon]]ing for the majority of this arc. After using [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]]'s "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" in one of his Duels,<ref name="ep23" /> Yuya starts using cards like "[[Performapal Trump Witch (anime)|Performapal Trump Witch]]" to Pendulum-[[Fusion Summon]] [[Fusion Monster]]s like "[[Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" and "[[Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]".<ref name="ep26" /><br />

===Friendship Cup Finals===<br />
Prior to his Duel against [[Shinji Weber]], Yuya added the "[[Tuning Magician (anime)|Tuning Magician]]" card that [[Sam (ARC-V)|Sam]] gave to him to his Deck. During that Duel he gained the ability to [[Pendulum Summon|Pendulum]]-[[Synchro Summon]] "[[Enlightenment Paladin (anime)|Enlightenment Paladin]]", making him the second known Duelist to use all four specialized Summoning methods.<ref name="ep79" /> Yuya utilizes a larger amount of [[Action Card]]s in his Duels compared to [[Yuya Sakaki#Friendship Cup 2|the previous arc]]. He also uses [[hand trap]]s like "[[Performapal Inflater Tapir (anime)|Performapal Inflater Tapir]]" and "[[Acrobatic Magician (anime)|Acrobatic Magician]]" to make up for his lack of [[face-down]] cards.<ref name="ep79" /><ref name="ep97" /> His Pendulum Summons focus more on Summoning a large number of [[Monster Card|monsters]] at once (compared to other arcs), and then either [[Xyz Summon]]ing or Synchro Summoning using those monsters. He also uses "[[Gap Power]]" and "[[Performapal Life Swordsman (anime)|Performapal Life Swordsman]]" to take advantage of the usually negative effects of "Tuning Magician" in order to show that there are no useless cards.<ref name="ep79" /><ref name="ep97" /><br />

===Duel Academy===<br />
Yuya's Dueling takes a darker turn as he struggles to fend off the growing influence of [[Z-ARC]] in his mind. He gains "[[Performapal Gatlinghoul (anime)|Performapal Gatlinghoul]]" during his Duel with [[Leo Akaba]], and uses more violent tactics to destroy multiple cards at once, such as with "[[Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon]]", and taking advantage of opponent's taking [[battle damage]] with "[[Performapal Nightmare Knight]]". He also uses more [[Trap Card]]s that negate the effects of all his opponent's monsters as well, such as "[[Starlight Force]]" and in the case of "[[Break Away (anime)|Break Away]]", end the [[Battle Phase]]. Despite his darker Dueling, he still attempts to keep control of himself and use his usual Duel style of making everyone smile.<br />
<br />
After Z-ARC's defeat and the Standard Dimension's rebirth as the '''"Pendulum Dimension"''', Yuya obtained all [[Four Dimensional Dragons]], but he refused to use any of them besides "Odd-Eyes" due to his fear of re-awakening Z-ARC and instead returned to his previous style of Dueling before meeting [[Yuto]]. However, thanks to [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack]]'s words and the support of Yuto, [[Yugo]] and [[Yuri]] residing inside him, he started using the Four Dimensional Dragons again. After mastering the four dragons, Yuya included more support for them, as well as two new [[Extra Deck]] [[Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon|hybrid]] [[Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon (anime)|monsters]] that use the dragons as materials. In addition, Yuya's Deck now contains higher Pendulum Scales, such as the Scale 10 "[[Performapal Ignition Eagle]]" and the Scale 12 "[[Performapal Five-Rainbow Magician (anime)|Performapal Five-Rainbow Magician]]".<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Yuya is Z-ARC's only reincarnation to have a surname.<br />
* Each of Z-ARC's alter egos resemble one of [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_concept_of_the_soul the five parts of the soul from Egyptian mythology]: Yuya being the Ib (Heart), symbolised by his empathic and kind nature.<br />
* Yuya is the first protagonist:<br />
** To lose a Duel against the [[Zuzu Boyle|female lead]] of his series.<br />
** To not have a "Gardna" monster in his Deck. However, this only applies in the anime as his [[Yuya Sakaki (manga)|manga counterpart]] uses three copies of "[[Performapal Card Gardna (manga)|Performapal Card Gardna]]".<br />
* Yuya is the first protagonist since:<br />
** [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] whose [[Signature card|ace monster]]'s Attribute is DARK.<br />
** [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] to use the card "Polymerization".<br />
** [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]] to perform a [[Synchro Summon]].<br />
* Yuya is the only protagonist:<br />
** To have an ace monster with the naming convention "X-Eyes Y Dragon", which is usually reserved for the rival.<br />
** Who never directly fought the final antagonist of his series (in this case, Z-ARC). This is because he was possessed by Z-ARC during the time in which he was active.<br />

[[File:GO RUSH Promo Poster.png|thumb|left|Promotional poster for ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!'', depicting [[Yudias Velgear]], [[Yuhi Ohdo|Yuhi]], [[Yuamu Ohdo]], [[Zuwijo zir Velgear]], [[Valvelgear]], and Yudias' [[Signature card|ace monsters]]: "[[Transamu Rainac (anime)|Transamu Rainac]]" and "[[Galactica Oblivion (anime)|Galactica Oblivion]]"]]<br />
[[Yuhi Ohdo]] and [[Yuamu Ohdo]] are elementary schooler twins living in [[Mutsuba Town]] who are in charge of the alien extermination company [[UTS|UTS (Ultraterrestrial Trouble Solutions)]]. They spend their days working really hard searching for aliens using a mysterious device created by Yuhi... that is, until one fateful day!!<br />
<br />
Right after they created a mystery school club, they finally found a real spaceship and inside of it, they made contact with [[Yudias Velgear|Yudias]], an alien from the distant [[Velgear Star Cluster]].<br />
<br />
Yudias has come to [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], after he and his comrades were chased from his native star cluster, seeking a way to a new future, which "[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]" seems like it might offer a means to do so, but knows nothing about it. Yuhi challenges the newbie Yudias to a Rush Duel in order to give him a helping hand. This is first contact between elementary school students and aliens, via Rush Duel!<ref name="GO RUSH!!

<br />
Now it's time to enter the new stage of Rush Duel introduced by this alien soldier from the far ends of the galaxy!<br />
<br />
Let's go, Go Rush!!<ref name="GO RUSH!! Reveal" /><ref name="GO RUSH!! ANN" /><br />

<br />
==Continuity==<br />
Unlike many of the past spin-offs since ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'', ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!'' takes place in the same continuity as the previous series, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]''. It is set an unknown amount of time in the past, but features [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]] and associated modern technology due to its introduction by [[Yuga Ohdo]], the main protagonist of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS'', who was transported back in time after the climax of his Rush Duel with [[Otes]]. <br />
<br />
The main Earth setting of the series, [[Mutsuba Town]], appears to be the precursor to [[Goha City]], sharing a similarly shaped coastline and central feature, [[Mutsuba Tower]]. [[Mutsuba Heavy Machinery]] and [[Ramen Hut]] operate in the town, though [[Goha Enterprises]] is only a small toy company and appropriately named [[Goha Company]]. [[Yudias Velgear]] uses a Goha Enterprises [[Duel Disk]] as opposed to the new model introduced by ''GO RUSH!!''; the new model itself projects a blue "G" over its surface, possibly in reference to the Goha Company. This model of Duel Disk has never been seen by the general public and is later implied to be Yuga Ohdo's Duel Disk.<br />
<br />
Despite taking place in the past, many of the developments during ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!'' do not seem to have been recorded in the present of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS'' and Yuga's actions have not changed history, as he finds the future unchanged when he visits in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! - Episode 062]]''. Neither aliens, nor Rush Dueling existing in the past are known to have transpired. [[Kit Schrödinger]] speculates that Rush Dueling eventually became the Goha Dueling that Yuga invented Rush Dueling to free them from.<br />
<br />
Several characters share surnames and voice actors with characters from ''Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS'', and it has been suggested that some of them are ancestors of the ''SEVENS'' characters:<br />
* [[Yuhi Ohdo|Yuhi]] and [[Yuamu Ohdo]] share Yuga's surname, and speculate they are his ancestors.<br />
* [[Manabu Sogetsu]] shares the surname and [[Natsuki Hanae|Japanese voice actor]] of [[Gavin Sogetsu]], and closely resembles him. He is later confirmed to be descended from [[Gakugen Sogetsu]], Gavin's ancestor, confirming the two are related.<br />
* [[Manya Atachi]] shares the Japanese surname and voice actress of [[Mimi Imimi]] (Mimi Atachi in the Japanese version) and closely resembles her. In his dog form, [[Bochi]] closely resembles and shares a name with [[Graves]] (Bochi in the Japanese version), the pet dog of [[Hicks]], a friend of Mimi's son [[Yosh Imimi]]; Bochi himself shares Yosh's voice actor.<br />

<br />
==Development==<br />
[[Bridge]] once again returns as the main animation studio, after taking over for [[Studio Gallop]] beginning with ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]''. [[Masahiro Hikokubo]] is again composing the series' Duels. The characters are designed by [[Kazuko Tadano]] and [[Hiromi Matsushita]].<br />
<br />
It was decided to focus the series on aliens, as director [[Nobuhiro Kondo]] and the staff wanted to ensure their second show was accessible to people who hadn't heard of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' or [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]], but didn't want to simply repeat the plot of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS'', so they decided to make the protagonist an alien as they felt someone not from [[Earth (planet)|Earth]] would be the best choice for someone who didn't know about Rush Dueling. While there were concerns about aliens getting mixed up with [[Monster Card]]s, Kondo felt characters like [[Pidgetrap Quill]] proved audiences could differentiate between the two; Yudias was initially planned to be more "alien", but it was decided to make him more human to make Duels more easily understood. Consequently, ''GO RUSH!!'' is intended as an easy entrance show for people who want to get into Rush Duels, so the early Featured Duels clearly explain "[[Summon]]s" and "[[Activate|activating]] a [[Spell Card]]" for the purposes of fans who never could quite grasp what was going on in previous shows. Despite this initial basic approach, Kondo stated his intentions to ensure that the Duels will be bizarre and showcase a variety of cards, given the alien nature of many Duelists in the show.<ref name="GO RUSH!! directorinterview">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/highlights-from-interview-with-go-rush-director-kondo-nobuhiro/ | title = <nowiki>Highlights from Interview with GO RUSH!!

<br />
The [[COVID-19 pandemic]] and the restrictions surrounding it made casting for ''GO RUSH!!'' difficult, as the staff were unable to hold mass auditions. [[Arthur Lounsberry]] ([[Yudias Velgear]]), [[Toshiki Kumagai]] ([[Yuhi Ohdo]]), and [[Koko Fukushima]] ([[Yuamu Ohdo]]) portray their characters as a team; Kondo liked the idea of younger actors Kumagi and Fukushima growing into their roles and hoped the series would serve as an entry point for<br />

[[Yuhi Ohdo]] and [[Yuamu Ohdo]] are elementary schooler twins living in [[Mutsuba Town]] who are in charge of the alien extermination company [[UTS|UTS (Ultraterrestrial Trouble Solutions)]].

Right after they created a mystery school club, they finally found a real spaceship and inside of it, they made contact with [[Yudias Velgear|Yudias]], an alien from the distant [[Velgear Star Cluster]].<br />
<br />
Yudias has come to [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], after he and his comrades were chased from his native star cluster, seeking a way to a new future, which "[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]" seems like it might offer a means to do so, but knows nothing about it. Yuhi challenges the newbie Yudias to a Rush Duel in order to give him a helping hand.

<br />
==Continuity==<br />
Unlike many of the past spin-offs since ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'', ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!'' takes place in the same continuity as the previous series, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]''. It is set an unknown amount of time in the past, but features [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]] and associated modern technology due to its introduction by [[Yuga Ohdo]], the main protagonist of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS'', who was transported back in time after the climax of his Rush Duel with [[Otes]]. <br />
<br />
The main Earth setting of the series, [[Mutsuba Town]], appears to be the precursor to [[Goha City]], sharing a similarly shaped coastline and central feature, [[Mutsuba Tower]]. [[Mutsuba Heavy Machinery]] and [[Ramen Hut]] operate in the town, though [[Goha Enterprises]] is only a small toy company and appropriately named [[Goha Company]]. [[Yudias Velgear]] uses a Goha Enterprises [[Duel Disk]] as opposed to the new model introduced by ''GO RUSH!!''; the new model itself projects a blue "G" over its surface, possibly in reference to the Goha Company. This model of Duel Disk has never been seen by the general public and is later implied to be Yuga Ohdo's Duel Disk.<br />
<br />
Despite taking place in the past, many of the developments during ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!'' do not seem to have been recorded in the present of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS'' and Yuga's actions have not changed history, as he finds the future unchanged when he visits in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! - Episode 062]]''. Neither aliens, nor Rush Dueling existing in the past are known to have transpired. [[Kit Schrödinger]] speculates that Rush Dueling eventually became the Goha Dueling that Yuga invented Rush Dueling to free them from.<br />
<br />
Several characters share surnames and voice actors with characters from ''Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS'', and it has been suggested that some of them are ancestors of the ''SEVENS'' characters:<br />
* [[Yuhi Ohdo|Yuhi]] and [[Yuamu Ohdo]] share Yuga's surname, and speculate they are his ancestors.<br />
* [[Manabu Sogetsu]] shares the surname and [[Natsuki Hanae|Japanese voice actor]] of [[Gavin Sogetsu]], and closely resembles him. He is later confirmed to be descended from [[Gakugen Sogetsu]], Gavin's ancestor, confirming the two are related.<br />
* [[Manya Atachi]] shares the Japanese surname and voice actress of [[Mimi Imimi]] (Mimi Atachi in the Japanese version) and closely resembles her. In his dog form, [[Bochi]] closely resembles and shares a name with [[Graves]] (Bochi in the Japanese version), the pet dog of [[Hicks]], a friend of Mimi's son [[Yosh Imimi]]; Bochi himself shares Yosh's voice actor.<br />
* [[London Kirishima]] and [[Rovian Kirishima]] share the Japanese surname and voice actors of [[Roa Kassidy]] (Roa Kirishima in the Japanese version) and [[Romin Kassidy]] (Romin Kirishima in the Japanese version) and closely resemble them. Like Roa and Romin, London and Rovian are cousins.<br />
* [[Makeru Kurimoto]] and [[Miranda Ichimaru]] resemble older versions of [[Masa]] and [[Cub]] and share their voice actors. Notably, neither Masa nor Cub had stated surnames in ''SEVENS''.<br />

* [[Venus Ganiko]] resembles [[Celestia Noodlina]], [[Terra Kneadalina]], [[Prioria Sweetalina]], [[Oceania Illumilina]], [[Hire Yureko]] and [[Konvoy Sagawa]], sharing their collective Japanese voice actress and use of "ko" in one of her names. A figure resembling Celestia Noodlina is seen as a background character in the [[Alien Residential Area]]. Like the ''SEVENS'' characters, she also has doppelgangers, though they are confirmed to be her sisters, [[Venus Ganimi]] and [[Venus Ganie]].<br />
* [[Legal Arai]] resembles an elderly version of [[Buff Grimes]] (Arata Arai in the Japanese version) and shares his voice actor.<br />
* [[Henry Honya]] resembles and shares the surname and voice actor of [[Booster Page]] (Braun Honya in the Japanese version). His sister [[Jane Honya]] resembles [[Valencia Siegle]].<br />

As an actress, Manya has an extensive wardrobe; she wears a white dress, sunhat and dark sunglasses when returning to [[Mutsuba Town]] for the first time. <br />
<br />
In her youth she wore a yellow dress while at preschool with [[Yuamu Ohdo]]. When she first joined a talent agency, Manya had her hair in pigtails and wore blue dungarees over a lighter blue shirt and a red purse around her neck. She wore the same outfit as "[[Dian Keto the Cure Maiden (anime)|Dian Keto the Cure Maiden]]" in her role on ''[[The Cure Maiden]]'', though she retained her brown hair as opposed to "Dian Keto's" green.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Manya is a girl who is a great actress, as shown when she acted as a spoiled and entitled brat in front of her childhood friend [[Yuamu Ohdo|Yuamu]], to the point that she becomes one with her characters. However, when she isn't acting she is a kind and sweet girl. During her Duel with Yuamu she coined in lines from previous roles she was in to hint to her that she is acting.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===History===<br />
Manya was friends with [[Yuamu Ohdo]] in preschool, and often spent time with her outside the class keeping up with the trends. At a young age, Manya moved from [[Mutsuba Town]] to become an actress, Yuamu promising she would watch everything Manya appeared in. After joining a talent agency, she was only able to get small modeling roles, and was bullied by her seniors. While walking alone in the rain, she found [[Bochi (GO RUSH!!)|Bochi]] alone in a box. After telling him to not give up, she realized that those were the words that she herself needed to hear and adopted the dog. After 88 auditions, she landed the main character role on a TV show called ''[[The Cure Maiden]]'', which became a massive success and allowed Manya to land many other roles, including as a presenter of [[Learning the Fun Way – Ultimate Go Rush]].<ref name="ep8">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|8|ref}}</ref> Bochi eventually revealed himself to be an alien, and acted as Manya's protector.<ref name="ep9">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|9|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
===First Arc===<br />
Manya, [[Bochi (GO RUSH!!)|Bochi]] and her manager [[London Kirishima]] returned to [[Mutsuba Town]] to [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]] against a local elementary school team in [[Learning the Fun Way – Ultimate Go Rush]]. Manya decided to stretch her acting, acting as though she detested being back in town and didn't remember [[Yuamu Ohdo|Yuamu]], who was in the team Manya would be facing alongside her brother [[Yuhi Ohdo|Yuhi]] and their friend [[Yudias Velgear]]. Manya ordered London to order sushi for her before the live broadcast of the matches begun, and she decided off-script she would Duel in the first match, to the dismay of MC [[Makeru Kurimoto]]. Yuamu likewise Dueled first for the [[UTS]] team, taking an early lead despite Manya's [[Field Spell Card]] tactics. Throughout the Duel Manya acted as though the Duel was causing her to remember her time with Yuamu and that she was fighting against those memories, using "[[Dian Keto the Cure Maiden (anime)|Dian Keto the Cure Maiden]]" to impress the power she'd gained from her time in the big city upon Yuamu. However Yuamu Summoned "[[Blue Tooth Burst Dragon (anime)|Blue Tooth Burst Dragon]]" and used its effect to destroy Manya's lower-[[Level]] monsters and power up "Blue Tooth", defeating Manya. With her loss, Manya quoted her own character from ''[[Runaway Actress Girl]]'', which Yuamu recognized and confirmed she'd known Manya had been acting the entire time. Manya admitted it had been nostalgic, recalling the times she and Yuamu had acted together in their youth.<ref name="ep8" /><br />
<br />
When they broke for commercial, Manya asked London where her sushi was and London explained it was on the way, explaining Bochi wanted to Duel next due to his former owner, [[MIK (organization)|MIK]] agent [[Manabu Sogetsu]], being in the audience. Manya once again went off-script onstage to introduce Manabu and Bochi as the next Duelists, while also tricking the audience into thinking Bochi's transformation was due to CGI. During the Duel, Manya explained [[Special Summon]]s from the [[Graveyard]] and Bochi's strategy to the audience. Manabu eventually defeated Bochi, pleasing the alien with his strength, and Bochi admitted his deception to Manabu, Manya explaining he had wanted to test Manabu's strength. Although Manya's team had technically lost, Yuhi still wanted to Duel and stated Manabu's victory didn't count as he hadn't been a member of their team, so Manya moved ahead with the third round, intending to have London Duel.<ref name="ep9" /> However, [[Chupataro Kaburagi]] broke through the wall and demanded to Rush Duel instead, explaining he had attacked and incapacitated London. Though initially unworried by Chupataro, Manya asked Bochi to protect her for the sake of the audience, though Bochi reverted to his dog form due to using his power Dueling Manabu, so Yudias accepted Chupataro's challenge, revealing he was an alien too. Manya was attracted by Yudias' appearance despite Yuamu pointing out she already had an alien companion. Manya was intrigued by Yudias' [[Galaxy (Type)|Galaxy]] [[Type]] monsters, but to her utter shock [[Earthdamar|a substance]] emerged from Chupataro's [[Duel Disk]] and brought his "[[Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan (anime)|Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan]]" [[Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan (character)|to life]]. Meeeg-chan took over the Duel for Chupataro, believing Bochi and Yudias to be characters from her lore and physically attacking Yudias, but Yudias was able to defeat her, causing her to disappear, and Chupataro was taken away by MIK.<ref name="ep10">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|10|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
After the broadcast, Manya worked with Makeru and MIK to construct a narrative explaining the event to the general public before visiting the [[UTS office]] with Kirishima and Bochi to check on Yudias. Manabu arrived to inquire whether Yudias knew the location of [[Zuwijo zir Velgear|Zuwijo]], a former comrade of Yudias' who had sent Chupataro to the studio, though Yudias didn't answer. As he left, Manabu thanked them for the rice crackers that Kirishima had bought courtesy of Manya and explained to Yudias that Zuwijo would be sentenced to cryostasis if caught. Yudias asked Yuamu and Yuhi to train him in Rush Dueling again, so Manya suggested her "special training from hell" and with Yuamu and Kirishima's help, put Yudias and Yuhi through their paces. Afterwards Bochi accidentally switched on a recording of Yuamu tricking Yuhi into believing she had an effect she could activate, something that caused Manya to note that Duels were also psychological battles. This convinced Yudias to understand Zuwijo's plan to defeat him, so Manya, Kirishima and Bochi accompanied Yudias and the Ohdo twins to [[Black Goat Residence|Chupataro's apartment]]. Manya was revolted by the stench and suggested Zuwijo had sent Chupataro because he wanted attention, a statement that prompted Yudias to realize Zuwijo had been making a statement. Kirishima's opening the window to air the room out further made the group realize Zuwijo would be at [[Mutsuba Tower]]. Manya had Kirishima carry her to Mutsuba Tower, where they found Zuwijo and [[Mitsuko Hiramori]].<ref name="ep11">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|11|ref}}</ref><br />
<br />
As Yudias and Zuwijo discussed their differing opinions on the war in the [[Velgear Star Cluster]], Manya and Kirishima asked if they could keep it away from [[Earth (planet)|Earth]]. Yudias and Zuwijo Rush Dueled as they were unable to settle their differences, Manya spotting the same substance Chupataro had used, Yuhi's Earthdamar, on Zuwijo's Duel Disk, which Zuwijo also used to materialize "[[Voidvelgr Hecatoncheir (anime)|Voidvelgr Hecatoncheir]]". To Manya's disgust, Yuhi attempted to produce another Earthdamar for Yudias to use, though Yudias reassured Yuhi he had received his feelings. Yuamu later suggested to Manya they could use the broadcast to pacify the townspeople, so Manya, Kirishima and Bochi headed to the bottom of the tower, claiming the sights to simply be special effects. To Manya's shock, Zuwijo materialized "[[Voidvelgr Requiem (anime)|Voidvelgr Requiem]]" and clad himself in the monster, spreading the effects of the Earthdamar across the town.<ref name="ep12">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|12|ref}}</ref> More monsters began to partially materialize, so Manya warned the audience to stay away from their Decks and Duel Disks. To Manya's shock, a bucket-wheel excavator approached Mutsuba Tower and carved into the side, extracting the Earthdamar and dematerializing the monsters. Yudias eventually defeated Zuwijo, and Manya, Kirishima and Bochi returned to the top of the tower to find Yuhi had fallen unconscious due to his soul being drawn into "Requiem". After Yuhi awoke he asked if Zuwijo was really a villain, and though Manya believed Zuwijo obviously was, Yudias claimed Zuwijo was hiding something.<ref name="ep13">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|13|ref}}</ref><br />
