ARC-V]]'' anime. He is the [[Xyz Dimension]] [[Dimensional counterparts|counterpart]] of [[Yuya Sakaki]] ([[Standard Dimension]]), [[Yuri]] ([[Fusion Dimension]]) and [[Yugo]] ([[Synchro Dimension]]), and one of [[ZarcZ-ARC]]'s reincarnations.

{{Double image| left<!-- -->|FullYuto.png| 170<!--196 -->|Yuto_PreYuto Pre-Invasion_145Invasion 145.png|105<!-- -->|Full body views of Yuto in his post- and pre-invasion outfits.}} 

He wears a punk-style outfit, with a dull green formal shirt and dark blue tie, as well as a black cape-like garment with ripped sleeves and edges plus dark blue pants and black boot-like shoes. Save his cape, this outfit resembles the male [[Heartland Academy]] outfit, but is darker in color. Like Yuya, Yuto also wears a choker and wristbands, although his bands are a matching set—black with silver studs—and bear resemblance to those worn by [[Yugi Muto]] during [[Battle City]]. Yuto also shares Yuya's penchant for goggles, though his are of a sharper make and a more military style. Like [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]], Yuto wears a belt with two Deck holsters two Deck holsters on each side. He also sports a mask he uses to conceal his face, a red scarf tied around his upper right arm that is partially hidden by his sleeve, and can sometimes be seen with a larger red scarf around his neck.<ref name="ep7" /> He abandons the goggles entirely after they are damaged in his Duel with [[Sylvio Sawatari]], and later gets rid of his mask as well. During his time at the [[Spade Branch]] of [[Heartland Duel School]] Yuto wore tidier and more casual clothes; a black shirt under a black and cream-colored jacket, and a necklace.

Yuto is able to inflict real damage, destruction, and pain in a Duel even without the presence of an Action Field. His use of this ability is akin to [[Psychic Duelist]]s in that the effect is physical in nature and not magically induced. Examples of this are wind being felt from the [[ARC System]] holograms, causing explosions that can shake an entire building, and using "[[Phantom Knights' Spear (anime)|Phantom Knights' Spear]]" to pin Sylvio to a wall by his coat.<ref name="ep7" /> Upon his next appearance, he was also shown to be acrobatic, performing several high and agile jumps in a scuffle with Sora.<ref name="ep15">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|15|ref}}</ref> He can also dash to the point of being nearly a blur that a pair of guards couldn't react fast enough. Yuto is somewhat stronger than he looks; he was able to effortlessly knock down [[Kakimoto]] off-screen,<ref name="ep7" /> knock Shay unconscious with a single punch to the gut, and carry him on his shoulder single-handedly.<ref name="ep21">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|21|ref}}</ref> Like his dimensional counterparts, Yuto possesses the ability to [[Awakened]]. He loses this ability after [[Riley Akaba]] removed [[ZarcZ-ARC]]'s soul from him.<ref name="ep140">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|140|ref}}</ref> His [[Duel Disk]] possesses technology to travel between dimensions.

Like his dimensional counterparts, Yuto possesses a [[ZarcZ-ARC|darkness]] inside him that slowly tries to consume his soul.<ref name="ep46" /> While merged with Yuya, the darkness uses Yuto's hatred of Duel Academy to influence the both of them to harm their opponents.<ref name="ep44">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|44|ref}}</ref> After he and Yuya realized their anger was connected to the darkness, Yuto gained a degree of control over his anger but can be consumed by the darkness if Yuya is angered.

In the anime, Yuto's name in [[Wikipedia:en:Romanization of Japanese|romaji]] is written as "Ute", which is pronounced as "Yūto" in Japanese. Yūto has many definitions depending on the kanji usedthe kanji used. For example: 優 (Yū) means means "Gentleness" and "Superiority", 悠 悠 (Yū) means "Distant" and "Leisurely". The last syllable 人 (To) means means person, 翔 (To) means means to "Soar" or "Fly". His name is written in [[Wikipedia:en:Katakana |Katakana]], so it has no actual meaning.

Yuto's hometowns hometown, [[Heartland City (ARC-V)|Heartland City]], was once a peaceful city. Yuto attended the [[Spade Branch]] of [[Heartland Duel School]],<ref name="ep101" /> known for training professional Duelists.<ref name="ep75">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|75|ref}}</ref> Yuto and Shay watched Lulu's Duel as the former commented on her great Dueling skills. He was completely shocked when Shay told him that she was his sister. After her Duel, Shay introduced them both and they instantly took a liking to each other, and they began growing closer.<ref name="ep124" /> At one point he, [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]], and [[Lulu Obsidian|Lulu]] watched [[Kite Tenjo (ARC-V)|Kite Tenjo]], the ace of the [[Clover Branch]], Dueling.<ref name="ep101" />

Heartland was [[Invasion of Xyz Dimension|attacked]] out of the blue one blue one day by [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]] from the from the [[Fusion Dimension]]. During the invasion he, Shay, and three other Duelists attempted to fight off the many "[[Chaos Ancient Gear Giant (anime)|Chaos Ancient Gear Giant]]s" that were Summoned, but their allies were defeated and sealed into cards, forcing Yuto and Shay to retreat.<ref name="ep75">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|75|ref}}</ref> On another occasion, Yuto was battling a "Chaos Ancient Gear Giant", when he heard Lulu lamenting that this wasn't what Dueling was meant for; it was meant to bring smiles, and she asked [[Saya Sasayama]] if that was correct.<ref name="ep104" />

After Shay informed Yuto that capturing [[Declan Akaba|the Professor's son]] may cause the Professor to panic and force him to release Lulu,<ref name="ep100" /> he traveled to the [[Standard Dimension]] to oppose the Fusion Dimension,<ref name="ep36">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|36|ref}}</ref> so Yuto followed his best friend there, too.<ref name="ep103">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|103|ref}}</ref>

[[File:Yuto_AppearsYuto Appears.png|thumb|Yuto appears.]]

Yuto later witnessed Zuzu training with Sora once again, hidden behind a warehouse. Zuzu attempted to perform a [[Fusion Summon]], which failed due to the fact that she forgot to put her [[Fusion Monster]] in her [[Extra Deck]]. Sora then said he noticed that Zuzu wasn't feeling herself because all she could think about was her first encounter with Yuto. Yuto recalled his Duel against [[Yugo]], after which Shay asked him about Lulu. Zuzu's bracelet glowed once again, signalling the arrival of Yuya, and Yuto was teleported away from the area to a Duel between [[HerkHerc]] and Shay.<ref name="ep18" />

When the [[Obelisk Force]] appeared and turned the [[Knights of the Duel Disks]] [[Ashley (card)|students]] [[Bram (card)|into]] [[Carl (card)|cards]], Yuto's memories of Duel Academy's attack of his home began to flood into Yuya's mind. This caused Yuya to [[Awakened]] with Yuto acting alongside him and challenge the Obelisk Force to a Duel. The trauma of witnessing these memories overwhelmed Yuya and changed him for the worse: he no longer cared if he harmed his opponents.<ref name="ep45">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|45|ref}}</ref> Afterwards, witnessing [[Reed Pepper]], [[Trout]] and [[Sun Shadow]] [[Reed Pepper (card)|sealed]] [[Trout (card)|into]] [[Sun Shadow (card)|cards]], Yuya momentarily awakened as he confronted Sora. However, Yuto was able to remind Yuya to Duel to bring smile and happiness to people, preventing Yuya from being overwhelmed by [[ZarcZ-ARC|the Darkness]].<ref name="ep48">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|48|ref}}</ref>

The next day, when Declan revealed that he had modified the [[Lancers]] [[Duel Disk]]s to travel through dimensions by basing his modifications on Yuto's Duel Disk, Shay angrily accused Yuya of stealing the Disk. Yuto reacted to Shay's outburst from inside Yuya and telepathically told him to trust Yuya as he believed that Yuya was a comrade that would never betray others.<ref name="ep53">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|53|ref}}</ref>

In the middle of Shay's Duel against [[Dennis McField|Dennis]], Yuto began to react in anger, actually communicating with Yuya. This alerted Yuya to Yuto's feelings, whose hatred caused Yuya awaken, but Yuya managed to calm that anger down and reaffirm his promise to use his Duels to bring smiles in Yuto's stead.<ref name="ep75">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|75|ref}}</ref>

During Yuya and [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]]'s Duel, Yuto and his [[Dimensional counterparts|counterparts]] [[Synchronize (ability)|synchronized]] with Yuya's pain after [[Jean-Michel Roget]] activated a [[Electric Shock Chip|chip]] he planted inside his helmet causing him to [[Awakened]] with them.<ref name="ep87">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|87|ref}}</ref> When Yuya won the Duel, Yuto passed out after the chip was destroyed.<ref name="ep88">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|88|ref}}</ref>

When Yugo and Yuri Summoned "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (anime)|Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]" and "[[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (anime)|Starving Venom Fusion Dragon]]" during their Duel while Yuya had "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" and "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]" on the field during his and [[Barrett]]'s Duel, the [[Four Dimension Dimensional Dragons]] started to resonate with each other, causing Yuto and his dimensional counterparts to awaken and synchronize again.<ref name="ep91">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|91|ref}}</ref> While synced, Yuto and his counterparts began shouting that they had waited for this time to become one and revive. However, his consciousness sank away once again after Zuzu's bracelet teleported Yugo and Yuri away from Yuya.<ref name="ep92">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|92|ref}}</ref> Yuto later credited this event as the trigger that enabled him and Yuya to communicate with one another.<ref name="ep104">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|104|ref}}</ref> During Yuya's Duel with [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack Atlas]], Yuya's feelings and wish to bring peace to [[New Domino City (ARC-V)|New Domino City]] reached Yuto's soul.<ref name="ep102">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|102|ref}}</ref>

Finally deciding to help, Yuto quickly instructed Yuya to use the effects of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon". Understanding that he was still not strong enough but still wanting to open up Kite's heart regardless of his and Yuya's current strength, Yuto finally came up with this tactic: Dueling together with Yuya, both of them [[Xyz Summon]]ed "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]", shocking Kite. By Summoning his ace monster, Yuto tried to remind Kite of him during their days at [[Heartland Duel School]]. Yuto's strong presence within Yuya allowed Kite to realize that they looked similar, causing Kite to think Yuya was Yuto. Before the Duel could continue, Shay arrived with [[Saya Sasayama]] and [[Allen KozukiAlan]] to clear up the misunderstanding. Despite Shay's assurance that Yuya and the others were allies, Kite remained defiant and left the scene.<ref name="ep102">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|102|ref}}</ref>

At [[the Resistance]]'s [[Duel Sanctuary (ARC-V)|new hideout]], both Yuya and Yuto were lamenting over their inability to open Kite's heart, only feeling Kite's anger throughout their Duel even after they Summoned "Dark Rebellion". Allen Alan commented on Yuya's resemblance to Yuto, even starting to think that Yuya might actually Yuto himself by the fact that he used "Dark Rebellion" until Shay cleared up the confusion. Allen Alan questioned Yuto's whereabouts since he was supposed to be following Shay to [[Standard Dimension]] but was now absent. Before Yuya could answer, Yuto told him not to reveal that he was inside him because no one would understand their condition, something that Yuya reluctantly agreed to. Fortunately, Shay explained that Yuto had suddenly vanished and then entrusted "Dark Rebellion" to Yuya, whom at first Shay suspected for stealing the card. However, after watching Yuya throughout their battle in the [[Synchro Dimension]], he came to believe that Yuto had indeed entrusted his ace monster to Yuya and understood why he did so, something that relieved both Yuto and Yuya. Their relief was cut short when, to Yuto and Yuya's shock, Allen Alan and Saya revealed that while they were gone, Duel Academy had launched a massive offensive attack that destroyed most of the Spade and Clover Branch Resistance Duelists and residents, including Kite's whole family.<ref name="ep103" />

Yuya visited Yuto's former Duel school, the Spade Branch, and asked Yuto if he knew his father. When Yuto denied it, Yuya pressed on that he was lying, as otherwise without meeting Yusho, Yuto would not be talking about smiles during his last moments in his physical form. Yuto revealed that his speech to Yuya at that time was a result of what he heard from Lulu during the early days of the invasion before Lulu's capture. Yuto asserted that Lulu became a disciple of Yusho Sakaki's teachings and philosophy through Saya, who was at the Clover Branch with Yusho. The conversation switched back to the time when all four dragons were gathered at the same spot. Yuto and Yuya revealed their awareness of a powerful [[ZarcZ-ARC|unknown force]] affecting their Awakened State, and Yuto informed Yuya that the dragons tried to be one and his residence in Yuya's body may have to do with Dark Rebellion, to Yuya's alarm.<ref name="ep104">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|104|ref}}</ref>

Yuya arrived in a strange room, where they met up with Lulu; Yuto was overjoyed to see her and explained to Yuya that she wasn't Zuzu. They learned that Shay was at Duel Academy, but had been injured. Lulu began to lead them to Shay, but she suddenly challenged Yuya to a Duel. Yuto realized that Lulu was being manipulated, and he and Yuya promised to return her to normal and accepted the challenge. Yuya's Deck transformed into Yuto's due to Yuto's desire to save Lulu. Yuya Set three cards, and his use of Yuto's strategy piqued Lulu's interest. Yuto thought back to Lulu's words and they both begged Lulu to regain her true self. Lulu asked who Yuya was, and they revealed that they were Yuto. Yuto was familiar with Lulu's "[[Lyrical Luscinia Lyrilusc - Assembly Assembled Nightingale (anime)|Lyrical Luscinia Lyrilusc - Assembly Assembled Nightingale]]", but he was shocked when she used "[[Parasite Discharge]]" to Special Summon "[[Fusion Parasite (anime)|Fusion Parasite]]"; cards that were never in Lulu's Deck. He was also surprised when Lulu [[Fusion Summon]]ed "[[Lyrical Luscinia Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale (anime)|Lyrical Luscinia Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale]]". Yuto and Yuya both agreed that the parasite was controlling her and they vowed to regain her sanity by destroying it. Shay arrived, explaining that he had already defeated Lulu, but nothing had changed. Shay suggested that they probably had to defeat the person controlling her and left to deal with the person controlling Lulu after Yuya and Yuto made a comeback during Lulu's turn with "[[The Phantom Knights of Cursed Javelin (anime)|The Phantom Knights of Cursed Javelin]]". Celina tased Shay and joined the Duel, Fusion Summoning "[[Parasite Queen]]", which countered the effect of "Cursed Javelin" and destroyed it. Celina explained that the [[Parasite Monster|insects]] in the lab had been created and used by the Doktor to control them. Yuya was furious to learn that Zuzu had one in her head; Yuto tried to calm him down, sympathizing with Yuya's anger, and he took over Yuya's body, causing Lulu and Celina to see him rather than Yuya. He used "[[The Phantom Knights' Rank-Up-Magic Burial]]" to bring back and Rank-Up "Cursed Javelin" into "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon", and he and Yuya both agreed to defeat the Doktor and save the girls.<ref name="ep124">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|124|ref}}</ref> Yuto's "Dark Rebellion" traded blows with the girls' "Parasite Queen", which manipulated its ATK through the number of "Fusion Parasites" on the field. Despite Celina's attempt to weaken "Dark Rebellion" by equipping it with a "Fusion Parasite", Yuto used its protection effect to his advantage by using "[[The Phantom Knights' Round Blaze]]" to destroy all cards on the field. When "Dark Rebellion" was weakened again, Yuto used [[Action Card]]s to minimize the damage, but lost control over Yuya's body. They awakened after the Doktor taunted Yuya with the image of Zuzu under his control, and they defeated Lulu and Celina by using Yuto's "[[The Phantom Knights' Possession]]" to Xyz Summon "[[Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon]]". They checked on Lulu, but she ran away with Celina, leading them into a trap.<ref name="ep125">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|125|ref}}</ref>

Caged in [[The Doktor|the Doktor's]] control room, Yuto and [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]] watched on a screen as [[Leo Akaba|the Professor]] told [[Yusho Sakaki|Yusho]], [[Declan Akaba|Declan]], and [[Riley Akaba|Riley]] about his past and that of [[ZarcZ-ARC]], a name that surprised Yuto. When [[Yugo]] and [[Yuri]] Summoned "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (anime)|Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]" and "[[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (anime)|Starving Venom Fusion Dragon]]" in their Duel, Yuto and Yuya entered a synchronized awakening with them, and they began shouting that they would become one.<ref name="ep126">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|126|ref}}</ref>

Yuya broke out of the cage, and he went to the Professor's inner chambers. Yuto saw [[Lulu Obsidian|Lulu]] and her counterparts being brought to the room in tubes and saw the Doktor sealed into a card by the Professor. He and Yuya promised to rescue Lulu and learned of the destruction of the [[Original Dimension]] by the [[Supreme King Dragon Zarc Z-ARC (character)|Supreme King Dragon ZarcZ-ARC]] and its splitting into four by [[Ray Akaba]]. He learned that Leo intended to resurrect Ray and when he saw the [[ARC-V Reactor]], Yuto was shocked and saddened by the sight of the cards containing his comrades falling into the Reactor. Declan wondered if Yuri was a reincarnation of Zarc Z-ARC as the girls were of Ray, to Yuto and Yuya's shock, and the Professor confirmed that they were.<ref name="ep127">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|127|ref}}</ref>

Leo prepared to fuse the girls and Four Dimensions using the ARC-V Reactor, and Yuto and Yuya told him that he couldn't be forgiven. Yuto told Yuya that Zarc Z-ARC was the evil in their hearts and that they had to quickly stop the machine and rescue Lulu and the others. He and Yuya were impressed when Declan [[Dark Contract with the Monopoly SealExclusivity |sealed]] Leo's [[Extra Deck]]. Leo stated his belief that Zarc Z-ARC would revive due to Yuto being absorbed, but Yuya told him 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. Yuto thought about how Lulu's words had been supporting him. However, when the ARC-V Reactor started to power up around the girls capsule, Yuto was worried and screamed Lulu's name, causing him and Yuya to briefly awaken, though they managed to overcome the pain.<ref name="ep128">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|128|ref}}</ref> Declan tried to bring Yuya to his senses, and Yuto was able briefly contact him, but he returned to his Awakened state when bringing out "[[Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon]]" with Yuya. Yuto and Yuya were able to calm down when the girls reassured them that they still believed in them, but Yuto and Yuya continued their attack when they heard Lulu and Zuzu scream. Yusho stepped in and [[Restraining Sword of Impact|restrained]] them, terminating the Duel.<ref name="ep129">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|129|ref}}</ref>

Yuri later arrived, having defeated Yugo and absorbed him. When Yuri challenged Yusho to a Duel and locked him down with "[[Ivy Bind Castle]]", Yuya reassured him that Yusho had in a situation like this before; and indeed Yusho was able to counter the card. Yuri [[Fusion Summon]]ed "Starving Venom" and [[Synchro Summon]]ed "Clear Wing", causing Yuto and Yuya discomfort. After Yuri defeated Yusho and sealed him into a card, Yuya started to awaken again, causing Yuto to be consumed by [[ZarcZ-ARC]]'s darkness and he yelled at it to stay away.<ref name="ep133">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|133|ref}}</ref> Yuri challenged Yuya to a Duel and brought out "Starving Venom", causing Yuto to ache in pain. He was surprised when Yuri claimed that he was looking for their dragons, and his pain increased when Yuya brought out "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]". Yuto reassured Yuya they could contain Zarc Z-ARC and his pain increased even more when Yuri brought out "Clear Wing". Yuya and Yuto discussed using "Dark Rebellion" to defeat Yuri; Yuto agreeing that it was possible with the effects of "Starving Venom" and "Clear Wing" were negated. Yuya was worried about bringing "Dark Rebellion" out, but Yuto told him to endure it since "[[Smile World (anime)|Smile World]]" would protect him and he believed Yuya could do it. Yuya brought out "Dark Rebellion", and Yuto told him to hurry as the darkness began to consume him. He awakened again and when the Four Dimension Dimensional Dragons resonated with each other, he joined Yugo and Yuri in declaring that they would become one.<ref name="ep134">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|134|ref}}</ref>Yuri told Yuya to surrender and become one with them; Yuto and Yugo echoed this sentiment. When Yuya [[Performapal Trap Mimic|regained control]] of "Dark Rebellion", Yuto appeared next to him to help him defeat Yuri. He and his counterparts were then [[Astrograph Sorcerer (anime)|fused]] back into [[Supreme King Z-ARC (anime)|Supreme King Z-ARC]].<ref name="ep135">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|135|ref}}</ref>

[[File:Yuto,_YugoYugo,_and_Yuri_inside_Yuyaand Yuri inside Yuya.png|thumb|Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri appearing before Yuya.]]Following the battle with ZarcZ-ARC, Yuto's fate was unknown but Leo theorized that ZarcZ-ARC's fragments had revived as Yuya. However, Shay witnessed Yuto's presence in Yuya and believed he was still alive.<ref name="ep145">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|145|ref}}</ref> When Yuya was pushed into a corner by [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack]] after refusing to use the [[Four Dimension Dimensional Dragons]], Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri appeared before Yuya and told him they and their dragons don't want to lose. They also asked Yuya why he was ignoring the dragons' feelings and told him he should be able to hear the dragons' voices with their help. Yuto's spirit appeared appeared alongside Yuya as he Xyz Summoned "Dark Rebellion".<ref name="ep146">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|146|ref}}</ref> When Yuya wanted to borrow their power, Yuto told him not to be afraid and that everyone will have fun if he is. When Yuya used "[[Odd-Eyes Xyz GateXyzgate]]", Yuto's appeared alongside Yuya again as he Xyz Summoned "[[Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon]]". After Yuya defeated Declan, Yuto's spirit appeared when Lulu's spirit was revived.<ref name="ep148">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|148|ref}}</ref>

From the moment they met, Yuto was instantly smitten with Lulu and she felt the same way. Though it isn't clear if they actually were a couple or if Shay knew about their feelings for each other. Yuto displays care and protectiveness towards [[Lulu Obsidian|Lulu]] as he stated to [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]] (who he had mistaken for Lulu) that he doesn't want her to get hurt. Also, despite not wanting to hurt anyone anymore, Yuto Yuto decides to fight to save her, as shown when he accepted [[Sora Perse|Sora]]'s challenge when the latter told him that he can save Lulu by destroying [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]]. He is also shown to be very supportive and defensive of Lulu as he told [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]], after he also mistook Zuzu for his little sister, that Lulu would never learn the enemies' form of Summoning with a smile on her face. Yuto later informs Yuya that his wish for duels to be for the sake of smiles was a saying that Lulu had told him during the invasion.

Although they only met for a short time, Yuto empathizes with [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]]’s 's belief that “Duels "Duels are meant to bring smiles and happiness to people”people", which is similar to what Yuto himself truly wishes for. Thus, he immediately developed a strong trust in Yuya. He even saved Yuya from [[Yugo]]'s [[attack]] and with "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]" conveying something to him, consented that Yuya was good enough to be entrusted with the dragon's card, believing in his power to bring smiles through Dueling. Despite this, his ability to merge with Yuya has the effect of sending Yuya into a blind rage, where he no longer cares about Dueling to make people smile and instead enjoys causing pain to his opponents. Yuya initially had mixed feelings towards Yuto and became afraid of Yuto's anger overwhelming him, but Yuya eventually understand Yuto's pain for losing his home and friends after seeing his memories, which led Yuya to decide to believe in Yuto who wishes for peace, deciding to fight together with him to overcome the darkness that tried to consume them. After witnessing more of Yuto's memories during [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]]'s Duel against [[Dennis McField]], Yuya grew to understand Yuto's anger better.

Despite their similar goals and desires, Yuto's personality and experiences are in stark contrast to Yuya's and initially Yuto served as a foil to Yuya. Yuto's anger was also what caused Yuya to Awaken more frequently and start Dueling more violently. It was also Yuto merging with Yuya what began ZarcZ-ARC's influence to slowly take over both of them.

His Dueling style reflects his merciful nature and refusal to hurt others. He uses many defensive and [[stall]]ing cards, additionally he often leaves the opponent with enough [[LP]] to survive his assaults and offers them the chance to surrender peacefully, only finishing them off should there be no other choice. When taking the first turn, Yuto tends to only [[Set]] cards and not summon any Monsters, a trait that his friends know him for.
