The '''Topsiders''', known as '''Tops''' in the Japanese version and as a shorthand in the English version, refers to the upper class of [[Category:LocationsNew Domino City (ARC-V)|New Domino City]]'s society in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime. ==Etymology==Topsider is derived from the word ''Top'', meaning "high". ==History==New Domino's society is entirely competition based, where the "winners" stand to gain everything, and the "losers" stand to lose everything. The upper 1% of New Domino's population is known as the Topsiders. They control 99% of the city's wealth, and live in a magnificent cityscape of highways, skyscrapers, villas, and even smaller metropolises that tower high above the slums of the [[Commons (ARC-V)|Commons]], or the remaining 99% of the population, reside in. It is patrolled by [[Sector Security (ARC-V)|Sector Security]], who will apprehend any Commons that are in Topsiders-exclusive areas without authorization. The Topsiders openly discriminate against the Commons, with the possible exception of Commons who are able to achieve great things and become Topsiders themselves, such as [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack Atlas]], who won the [[Friendship Cup]] and became Duel King.<ref name="ep54">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|54|ref}}</ref> Even their places at tournaments have a clear divide; Commons sit in an ordinary stadium, while Topsiders generally have private boxes and rooms separate from Commons, though there are exceptions. During the [[Arc League Championship]], [[Yugo]] and [[Zuzu Boyle]] were transported to a Topsiders-exclusive area by [[Zuzu's bracelet]], where the two explained to each other their knowledge of the events that had transpired before they were discovered by Topsiders residents, prompting them to flee on Yugo's [[Duel Runner]] only to be forced into a [[Turbo Duel]] by Sector Security. During a Sector Security raid, the Topsiders that were present were escorted from the scene while the Commons were all arrested, as seen with the [[Underground Dueling Arena]]. After the [[Friendship Cup]] Duel between [[Yuya Sakaki]] and Jack, the concept of the Topsiders was dissolved, as per [[White Taki]]'s announcement of the [[High Council]]'s disbandment. ==References==<references />
