==Design==
===Appearance===
[[File:FullSilvioSawatari.png|thumb|left|100px|Full body view of Sylvio.]]
===Appearance===Sylvio has is a handsome young boy with short light brown and blonde hair, styled in layers, and grayish blue eyes. He generally wears the [[Paradise Prep School]] uniform, with his [[Leo Institute of Dueling|LID]] badge pinned to the collar. He briefly wears an outfit in homage to ''Mabuta no Haha'' before his Duel with [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]] in the [[Maiami Arc League Championship]]; a teal cape with thin white stripes, a wide-brimmed straw hat, a grey tunic over ash-white leggings, and black elbow-length arm warmers and socks that he wears sandals over. Later, Sylvio wears a [[Turbo Duel]]ing outfit during the [[Friendship Cup]], a yellow jumpsuit with a grey chest portion, white pads, and a teal lining, in addition to a blue helmet with a green visor.
===Personality===
Sylvio is initially shown to have an inflated ego as a "Perfect [[Duelist]]", being selfish, stubborn, pompous, and incredibly egotistical similar to [[Chazz Princeton]] from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. As such he enjoys being praised by his crew and showing off in front of everyone, although he doesn't take kindly to anyone who interrupts him. His defeat at [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]]'s hands caused him to develop a grudge against him, but also caused him to develop some of his mannerisms.<ref name="ep7" /> Sylvio also often made gestures relating to darts when he felt they suited the situation.
He shows a degree of cunning, pretending to be friends with Yuya in order to steal his "{{[[Timegazer Magician (anime)|Timegazer Magician}}]]" and "{{[[Stargazer Magician (anime)|Stargazer Magician}}]]". After he managed to steal them, he then imprisoned Yuya's friends to force him into a [[Duel]]. Throughout the Duel, he continuously mentioned how he was now the chosen one, able to [[Pendulum Summon]]. Similarly, he claimed his Dueling skills to be perfect when he Dueled Yuto, and constantly looked down on Yuto during their Duel. Sylvio was also shown to be extremely materialistic, valuing only rare cards. This is shown in his Decks which are initially comprised of only [[Parallel Rare]] cards. Furthermore he seemed to be quite shallow with cards, judging them solely for their [[ATK]] or [[DEF]] values and their Level regardless of what effect they may have.<ref name="ep3"/>
Despite this, not only did he develop some of Yuya's mannerisms after his first defeat at his hands, but during their second Duel, he also developed a similar attitude and Dueling style, enjoying entertaining the crowd and encouraging Yuya to do the same. The primary difference in Sylvio's motivation for entertainment is that he wants to hear the audience cheering him. He accepted his second loss to Yuya gracefully and told him that he'd Duel him any time he wanted.<ref name="ep32"/> He retains this outlook during the [[Friendship Cup]] with his Duel with [[Yugo]]. He later showed sincere sympathy for Yuya when he was depressed after [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]]'s disappearance. Sylvio detests a Duel where his opponents do not play to their fullest, criticizing such opponents and warning others to play seriously beforehand.
Immediately after Pendulum Summoning for the first time, he became fascinated by the newly discovered Summon type. He quickly called it "the best" and went great distances to obtain [[Pendulum Monster]]s. At one point he even claimed he was the first Duelist to Pendulum Summon<ref name="ep54">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|54|ref}}</ref> and bragged about Pendulum to [[Security]] while in the [[Synchro Dimension]].<ref name="ep56">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|56|ref}}</ref>.
He has a tendency to use his [[Curio Sawatari|father]] in an attempt to gain an advantage in certain situations. This was shown as he threatened to use have his father fire Security when they were arresting him as well as attempting to use his influence to get food at the [[Facility (ARC-V)|Facility]] instead of having to pay the costs of a powerful card, but he failed both times due to his apparent obliviousness of the fact his father has no authority in the Synchro Dimension.
===Voice/Mannerisms===
In the Japanese version, Sylvio tends to add a large number of English phrases to his speech and speaks rather brashly and rudely, sometimes even addressing himself as "ore-sama" which is a very boastful and egotistical personal pronoun in Japanese. In the English dub, his occasional spouts of English are changed to French and his overall manner is far more posh and polite but still arrogant. In that version, Sylvio has a slight British accent.
==Biography==
Sylvio was contacted by [[Declan Akaba]] to obtain [[Yuya Sakaki]]'s [[Pendulum Monster]]s, no matter the means, while he threw darts at a picture of Yuya.<ref name="ep2">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|2|ref}}</ref>
[[File:Silvio stealing Yuya's Pendulum Monsters.png|right|thumb|250px|Sylvio steals [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]]'s [[Pendulum Monster]]s.]] After class one day, he approached Yuya and his friends, throwing three sucker-tipped darts at Yuya before introducing himself, stating that he was a fan of Yuya and his [[Pendulum Summon]]ing. Yuya was going to show his friends a Pendulum Summon at his own [[You Show Duel School|Duel School]], but Sylvio offered the use of the Center Duel Field at [[Leo Institute of Dueling|LID]]. [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]] wasn't happy about it, but Yuya's other friends all agreed, and Sylvio showed them around the school before he took them to the Duel Field. There Yuya and his friends were met by Sylvio's crew of friends: [[Ootomo]], [[Yamabe]], and [[Kakimoto]]. Sylvio asked to show his crew Yuya's Pendulum Monsters, and Yuya reluctantly showed him his "{{[[Stargazer Magician (anime)|Stargazer Magician}}]]" and "{{[[Timegazer Magician (anime)|Timegazer Magician}}]]." Sylvio promptly swiped them and showed them to his crew, before announcing his intention to keep them. He offered Yuya the chance to Duel to get them back, much to the anger of [[Claude]], who was monitoring Sylvio for Declan. Declan allowed Sylvio to Duel Yuya. Sylvio tossed Yuya some of his [[common]] cards to replace his Magicians, calling them trash cards. To ensure that Yuya would Duel, Sylvio had Yuya's friends placed on top of one of the towers in "[[Prison Tower of Darkville]]," endangering them with the prospect of their perch being damaged by [[Action Card|Action]] [[Trap Card]]s. On the first [[turn]], Sylvio drew "Timegazer Magician," but was instructed by Declan to keep it in his hand instead of playing it right away. Instead, he Summoned "[[Lightning Hoverboard]]" and pursued Yuya, destroying his "{{[[Performapal Whip Snake (anime)|Performapal Whip Snake}}]]" after it was weakened by Action Trap Cards. Yuya continued to play defensively, but to no avail; on Sylvio's next turn he drew a card that allowed him to [[add a card|add]] "Stargazer Magician" to his hand and he proceeded to Pendulum Summon his "[[Dart]]" monsters with Declan's assistance. Sylvio was amazed at the Summon, declaring himself a chosen one.<ref name="ep3" />
[[File:Arc V Silvio and Declan.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio Pendulum Summons with help from [[Declan Akaba|Declan]].]]He put Yuya on the ropes with his "Dart" monsters, though Yuya proceeded to create an [[attack]] lock with the card he'd taken from Sylvio - "{{[[Block Spider (anime)|Block Spider}}]]." Sylvio nullified the lock on his next turn by using "[[Cricket Close]]" to [[negate]] "Block Spider" as well as the effects of his own Pendulum Monsters. In response, Yuya increased the [[DEF]] of "Block Spider" to the point that only Sylvio's "[[Ultimate Dart Striker]]" was able to land a hit. Yuya then reclaimed his Pendulum Monsters with "[[Empty Fishing]]" since their effects had been negated and proceeded to Pendulum Summon the next turn himself, using his Pendulum Monsters to allow "{{[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon}}]]" to destroy all of Sylvio's monsters, while Sylvio frantically tried to dodge the shockwaves. Yuya then finished Sylvio off with Sylvio's own "trash card," "Block Spider." Despite his loss Sylvio ordered his crew to take the Pendulum Monsters by force but [[Sora Perse]] used a lollipop stick to knock out Sylvio's friends, then Sylvio himself.<ref name="ep4">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|4|ref}}</ref>
After his defeat, he acquired new cards that he tested out against one of his crew. They praised him, calling the cards strong, but Sylvio corrected them, claiming that it was him that was strong and stating that he had all the qualities of a "Perfect Duelist." After he used a few expressions similar to those that Yuya had used his friends wondered if Yuya had rubbed off on Sylvio, but he denied it and vowed he would crush Yuya. He was later seen hanging out with his crew in an abandoned warehouse, waiting for his friends to bring him his favorite food, and chastised his friends for being late.
[[File:Arc V Silvio choking on his food.png|thumb|right|250px|Sylvio chokes on his foodwhen Zuzu arrives to stop him.]]Zuzu, having overheard Sylvio's crew talking about Sylvio's wish to defeat Yuya, decided to try to stop him and barged into the warehouse, surprising him to the point that he choked on his food. Zuzu demanded that he Duel her, continuously denying Sylvio his attempts to speak. When he protested about this she angrily called him a coward and a second-rate Duelist, infuriating Sylvio. Zuzu continued to insult Sylvio, and he furiously agreed to the Duel. Before they could, the door to the warehouse opened, revealing [[Yuto|a mysterious masked figure]], who activated a strange Duel Disk. Sylvio Dueled him instead, mockingly dubbing him "Mr. Mystery" ("Knight" in the Japanese version) for coming to Zuzu's rescue. "Mr. Mystery" placed his entire hand face-down on his first turn and Sylvio seized his chance to bring out "{{[[Mobius the Frost Monarch (anime)|Mobius the Frost Monarch}}]]" then [[Tribute]] it to Summon "{{[[Mobius the Mega Monarch (anime)|Mobius the Mega Monarch}}]]," destroying all five of "Mr. Mystery's" [[Spell Card]]s.<ref name="ep7" />
[[File:Arc V Silvio's jacket pierced.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio's jacket pierced by "{{[[Phantom Knights' Spear (anime)|Phantom Knights' Spear}}]]".]]Despite this, "Mr. Mystery" activated his three "{{[[The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil (anime)|The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil}}]]" [[Spell Card]]s from the [[Graveyard]]," Special Summoning them as monsters to defend against Sylvio's attack. On his next turn, "Mr. Mystery" used the remaining cards to [[Xyz Summon]], to the surprise of Sylvio, "{{[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon}}]]." The two exchanged insults about how the other failed to live up to their expectations, before "Mr. Mystery" used his [[Xyz Monster]]'s effect to halve the ATK of "Mobius" twice, adding the stolen ATK to "Dark Rebellion" in addition, and reduced Sylvio to 100 [[Life Points]] with a single attack. The force of the impact sent Sylvio flying, despite the match not being an [[Action Duel]]. "Mr. Mystery" questioned Sylvio about LID's connection to [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]], holding up an LID badge. Sylvio replied that the badge was worn by all LID students and that he knew nothing of Duel Academy. "Mr. Mystery" turned to leave, but Sylvio refused, pointing out that their Duel was still on. He played "[[Ice Rage]]" in an attempt to defeat "Mr. Mystery," but "Mr. Mystery" negated the Trap using "{{[[Phantom Knights' Spear (anime)|Phantom Knights' Spear}}]]" and inflicted enough damage to win without even turning his back. The spear pierced Sylvio's jacket, pinning him to the wall in shock. "Mr. Mystery" then removed his mask to reveal that he resembled Yuya to the point that Sylvio and his friends believed that he ''was'' Yuya. Sylvio passed out from the stress of the Duel and his crew carried him away in fear.<ref name="ep7" />
Sylvio exaggerated his injuries and was subsequently hospitalized. [[Curio Sawatari|His father]] vowed revenge on Yuya, and was deciding on legal action, but they were visited by [[Henrietta Akaba]], who instead suggested she let them handle it to prevent his father from attracting attention during the upcoming election. Sylvio's crew later confronted Yuya and accused him of attacking Sylvio, claiming that their friend was in great pain - in reality, Sylvio was happily chowing down on melons in bed.<ref name="ep8">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|8|ref}}</ref> He was later discharged from hospital and he approached Yuya and Zuzu during lunch at school, offering Zuzu his handkerchief and telling Yuya that he shouldn't eat so messily in front of a lady. He joked that he'd heard that Yuya had attacked someone else, but he knew Yuya wasn't responsible, believing him incapable of defeating [[Marco (ARC-V)|Professor Marco]], even with Yuya's "cowardly" Pendulum Summoning (a fact that he hadn't told his father, given that they hadn't seen each other since Sylvio had been discharged). He justified this statement by pointing out that only Yuya had them (not knowing that Declan also had Pendulum Cards) and revealed that LID was attempting to mass-produce Pendulum Monsters, which he would use to get his revenge. He told Yuya that he'd see him at the Junior Arc League Championship and then casually walked away, as that was all he'd come to say.<ref name="ep15">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|15|ref}}</ref>
===Arc League Championship===
[[File:Arc V Silvio dressed in Mabuta no Haha.png|thumb|right|250px|Sylvio cosplays as "Mabuta no Haha" prior to his match with Yuya."]]At the Championship, he accompanied the Course representatives and [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]]. His first Duel was to be against Yuya the next day.<ref name="ep27">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|27|ref}}</ref> Sylvio entered the arena the next day dressed in homage to ''Mabuta no Haha'', proclaiming himself the world's greatest [[Duelist]], and calling himself "Neo New Sawatari." Sylvio claimed that [[Pendulum Summon]]ing would be Yuya's downfall, and pointed out his (unfounded and quickly disproven) grudges against Yuya. They began their Duel, with Sylvio unveiling his new "[[Yosenju]]" [[Monster Card|monsters]]. Yuya Pendulum Summoned next turn and fought back, but Sylvio used his "Yosenju" cards to deny him [[Action Card]]s and add "Yosenju" Pendulum Monsters from his Deck to his hand and Pendulum Summoned "[[Mayosenju Daibak (anime)|Mayosenju Daibak]]." He then [[activate]]d his "[[Dizzying Winds of Yosen Village (anime)|Dizzying Winds of Yosen Village]]" to [[send]] the cards bounced to Yuya's hand back to his Deck instead, and cleared his [[field]] when the self-returning effects of his "Yosenju" monsters triggered his "[[Yosen Whirlwind (anime)|Yosen Whirlwind]]", returning the cards to Yuya's hand and thus to his Deck. Despite his pinch, Yuya simply laughed and [[Set]] his remaining cards, and then turned to find more Action Cards.<ref name="ep31">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|31|ref}}</ref>
[[File:Arc V Silvio and Yosenju's brothers.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio and his "[[Yosenju]]" [[Monster Card|monsters]].]]
Sylvio brought out his "Yosenju" legion of monsters again the next turn and wiped Yuya's field clean, but this triggered the effect of Yuya's "[[Amnesia]]" card, which caused Sylvio's own monsters to become subject to his deadly combo. Sylvio was impressed, but attempted to end the Duel that turn anyway. Yuya was able to use a "[[Big Escape]]" Action Card to end the [[Battle Phase]], leaving Sylvio's field and hand almost bare. When Yuya didn't Pendulum Summon the next turn and the crowd chanted for it, Sylvio admitted that he was enjoying the Duel and delivered what the crowd wanted, Pendulum Summoning two "Yosenju" and using them as Tributes to Summon "Daibak."
[[File:Yuya and Sawatari.png|thumb|right|250px|Sylvio graciously accepting his loss to [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]].]]
Yuya was able to reduce his damage, and after the crowd began cheering for a Pendulum Summon again, Sylvio encouraged Yuya to live up to their expectations, keeping "Daibak" on the field since he'd Tribute Summoned it. Yuya was able to replenish his hand and bring out "Odd-Eyes," again, then damage Sylvio, who kept "Daibak" on the field by destroying "[[Yosenju Shinchu L (anime)|Yosenju Shinchu L]]" Much to Sylvio's shock, Yuya [[Fusion Summon]]ed during the [[Battle Phase]] and brought out "[[Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]," which also had 3000 ATK, and both Sylvio and Yuya leapt for Action Cards. Sylvio attempted to inflict damage to Yuya since his monster had been destroyed and would have won the Duel had Yuya not lucked out and gotten "[[Miracle]]," which prevented his own monster's destruction and allowed the effect of "Beast-Eyes" to go through and wipe Sylvio out. Though he refused Yuya's hand when getting up, Sylvio took the loss gracefully and offered to Duel Yuya any time. Sylvio was visibly happy that he had made the crowd cheer for him, and both of them waved to the cheering crowd.<ref name="ep32">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|32|ref}}</ref>
[[File:Silvio electrocuted.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio electrocuted upon paying the 2000 [[LP]] penalty.]]During the [[Battle Royal]], after the video feed for all of the areas were cut, Sylvio took advantage of his father's influence to barge into Declan's control room and ask what was going on because he wanted to see how far in the tournament Yuya would get. Declan allowed him to stay and offered him a chance to take place in a revival match.<ref name="ep47">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|47|ref}}</ref> Declan explained the situation regarding [[Celina]], [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]] and the invading [[Obelisk Force]] to Sylvio and sent him to assist Celina, Shay, and [[Moon Shadow]]. He arrived in time to use an Action Card to save Moon Shadow. He explained why he was there, boasting that Declan had told him everything, but was then shocked by the intrusion penalty of 2000 LP--a LP—a detail that Declan had ''not'' warned him about. Despite this, he claimed that he'd show them why he was "LID's strongest."<ref name="ep48">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|48|ref}}</ref>
[[File:Arc V Silvio using his new Pendulum Cards.png|thumb|250px|right|Sylvio using his new "[[Abyss Actor]]" [[Pendulum Monster]]s.]]
Showing off his new "[[Abyss Actor]]" Pendulum Deck, he managed to destroy one of the [[Obelisk Force]]'s "[[Triple Ancient Gear Hunting Hound]]s" without triggering their combo, though he inadvertently allowed the Obelisk Force to bring out "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Hunting Hound]]" and halve their Life Points. [[Gong Strong]] then joined the Duel, using his card effects to transfer Sylvio's Pendulum Cards to Shay's hand, which allowed Shay to win the Duel with "[[Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon (anime)|Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon]]". Sylvio celebrated jovially, and later saw the climax of Yuya's inconclusive Duel with [[Sora Perse]]. After the expiration of the [[Battle Royal]], Sylvio commented to Declan that he'd chased out the Duel Academy soldiers as he'd been asked, suggesting that this made him one of the [[Lancers]] now. When Gong asked him about them, Sylvio explained that the Battle Royal had been a selection exam for the Lancers.<ref name="ep49">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|49|ref}}</ref>
===Friendship Cup===
When [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]] asked [[Declan Akaba|Declan]] why they'd been fighting as opposed to the Youth and Pro teams, Sylvio explained that the Youth team were wiped out save for [[Kev Ravenwood|one]], which was why he'd been sent to help. When [[Celina]] revealed herself to be from [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]], Sylvio believed her to be a spy and questioned her until [[Moon Shadow]] stepped in to fend him off. Declan then reassured them that Celina was no spy. During Yuya's Duel with Declan, Sylvio filled [[Dennis MacfieldMcField|Dennis]] in on Declan's Dueling and he expressed sympathy for Yuya's loss of [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]].<ref name="ep50">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|50|ref}}</ref>
After Declan's victory and being informed that they would cross dimensions, Sylvio entered the arena with the [[Lancers]], cheerfully waving to the crowd. Hearing negative comments about his father's influence, as the crowd believed Sylvio to have reentered the tournament despite his first-round loss, Sylvio snatched [[Nico Smiley]]'s microphone and silenced the crowd by explaining that Declan had allowed him to take place in a revival match to become a Lancer.<ref name="ep52">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|52|ref}}</ref> The next day he arrived at [[Leo Corporation]] to prepare to depart with the other Lancers and dubbed them the "Sylvio Sawatari" generation, due to his claim that he pioneered the use of Pendulum Summoning. [[Gong Strong|Gong]] complained about this bold statement but Yuya let it pass. Declan revealed that they would be going to recruit allies in the [[Synchro Dimension]] and revealed that he had upgraded their [[Duel Disk]]s to generate an Action Field and travel between dimensions. Sylvio joined the Lancers in traveling across the dimensional boundary.<ref name="ep53">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|53|ref}}</ref>
[[File:Arc V Silvio arrested.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio gets arrested by [[Sector Security (ARC-V)|Sector Security]].]]He arrived in the Synchro Dimension with Yuya, Celina, and [[Riley Akaba]], and the group were immediately accosted by [[Sector Security (ARC-V)|Sector Security]], claiming that they were wanted for trespassing in [[Topsiders]]-exclusive areas. Unaware as to what the Sector Security members were referring to and incensed by their rudeness, Sylvio rashly challenged them to a Duel despite Yuya's protests.<ref name="ep55">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|55|ref}}</ref> He was swiftly taken out with a [[One Turn Kill]] and apprehended, and when Yuya Dueled another Sector Security officer, he bragged about [[Action Card]]s and [[Pendulum Summon]]ing, inadvertently alerting the officers to the function of Action Cards. Although Celina defeated her opponent, Yuya was put in a tough spot and more Sector Security officers arrived. Sylvio managed to get free and face-off against them, but fortunately they were saved by [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|a Synchro Dimension native]] and his gang.<ref name="ep56">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|56|ref}}</ref>
[[File:Arc V Silvio, Selena and Yuya.png|thumb|250px|right|Sylvio, Yuya, [[Celina]], and [[Riley Akaba|Riley]] are invited by [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]] to stay at his place.]]The Synchro user, [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]], invited them to stay at his place until events calmed down, and Sylvio introduced himself as an undefeated Duelist with Yuya as his disciple. Sylvio revealed through his boasts that they were from a different dimension to a confused Crow. [[Frank (ARC-V)|Frank]] and [[Tarren]], two of the orphans that Crow looked after, later returned with stolen food and revealed that they'd seen Yuya and Celina at a café, who Yuya and Celina deduced to be Zuzu and someone named [[Yugo]]. Crow went out to look for them.<ref name="ep57">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|57|ref}}</ref>
Frank and Tarren explained more of [[New Domino City (ARC-V)|New Domino City]]'s history, namely that of [[Turbo Duel]]s, which Sylvio found interesting. Crow returned empty-handed, and when Celina decided to go and look for news herself, Sylvio decided to go with her, claiming that he was bored of sitting around and pointing out that they still needed to find Declan.<ref name="ep58">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|58|ref}}</ref> Sylvio took notice of the posters of [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack Atlas]] around New Domino, and they later learned that he was the strongest Duelist in the city after Celina defeated a boy in a Duel. Sylvio noted that Celina seemed to be focusing on Dueling more than finding Zuzu, and Celina replied that she was also looking for strong Duelists. They decided to return to Crow's place and found Crow and Yuya Dueling. Unbeknownst to them, they had led Sector Security to Crow's place and they were quickly arrested.<ref name="ep59">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|59|ref}}</ref>
[[File:Arc V Silvio and the cook.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio tries to convince the cook to give him more food.]]
Sylvio was taken with the others to the [[Facility (ARC-V)|Facility]], where he learned very quickly that his father's influence was worthless and that rare cards were used as a currency. Although he toyed with the idea of paying with cards to get food, he later joined his fellow Lancers in refusing to give them to the prisoner boss [[Chojiro Tokumatsu]] in exchange for preferential treatment. Sylvio watched the Duel between Yuya and Chojiro, including the resurgence of Chojiro's previous entertainment persona.<ref name="ep60">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|60|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep61">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|61|ref}}</ref> After Yuya won and befriended Chojiro, Yuya and Sylvio received the benefits of being Chojiro's friends and were served better food at breakfast. Chojiro suggested an Entertainment Duel Tournament and Sylvio eagerly joined, turning the Duel into an Action Duel. He was disappointed when Yuya participated halfheartedly, asking him where the Yuya was that had performed the Legendary Dueltaining with him. The Duel was soon revealed to have been used by Crow, [[Shinji Weber]], and [[Damon Lopez]] as a distraction for an escape attempt, and Sylvio rescued them from a large Sector Security guard by attacking him with a pan, though this earned him a retaliatory blow. When Chojiro's lackeys rained down rare cards to distract the guards, Sylvio collected a stack himself before escaping with Chojiro and Yuya.<ref name="ep62">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|62|ref}}</ref>
[[File:Everyone taken away.png|thumb|right|250px|Sylvio and the others are taken away to compete in the [[Friendship Cup]].]]He led them to the roof, where they were cornered by the [[Stomptroopers]]. Sylvio suggested bribing them with rare cards, but Chojiro explained that this wouldn't work on the Stomptroopers Dueling them one-on-three proved difficult for Sylvio, and he fled with Yuya and Chojiro. Trapped on top of a tall tower, Sylvio refused to jump until Chojiro grabbed him and forced him to jump, leaving Yuya to save them. The group were eventually rescued by Gong and Shay, and they linked up with the other escaped Lancers and Commons to swim from the Facility. Unfortunately, [[Jean-Michel Roget]], the Director of Sector Security, had anticipated them and captured Damon's contact, [[Tony Simmons]]. Envoys of the [[High Council]] stepped in to bring the Lancers and the Commons to them, where Declan revealed himself and that he had informed the Council of the Interdimensional War. The Lancers were entered into the Friendship Cup and Yuya was chosen to Duel Jack Atlas in an exhibition match before the start of the tournament. Before being separated from Yuya, Sylvio urged him to show his strength to the Synchro Dimension.<ref name="ep63">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|63|ref}}</ref>
Sylvio watched the Duels on the first day of the tournament, furious that he wasn't being picked but somewhat pacified by the exquisite dinner that he received. He was angry that he still wasn't Dueling on the second day when Yuya Dueled [[Duel Chaser Officer 227]], but was concerned when Yuya was close to losing. He was also shocked to learn from Yuya that the losers in the tournament would be sent to the [[Underground Labor Facility]]. <ref name="ep71">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|71|ref}}</ref> When his name was announced for the Duel against [[Yugo]], he was initially angry, not realizing that he'd finally been picked to Duel.
[[File:SilvioVsYugo.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio vs. [[Yugo]]]]
Sylvio entered the [[Duel Palace]] declaring himself as the star of the Friendship Cup, not minding the mixed reactions of the audience because what mattered was that they were energized. He told Yugo that he wouldn't accept a substandard Duel, and Yugo replied in kind.
[[File:YGO-ARC-V-Ep-72-Img-0005.png|thumb|250px|Sylvio uses entertains the crowd during his "[[Abyss Script - Opening Ceremony (anime)|Abyss Script - Opening Ceremony]]" to increase his [[LP]].Duel with Yugo]]Through sheer luck, Sylvio managed to pass Yugo and take the first turn, bringing out "Big Star" on the first turn. Yugo responded by bringing out "{{[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (anime)|Clear Wing Synchro Dragon}}]]" and locking Sylvio down with two [[Continuous Trap Card]]s and the effect of "Clear Wing". Sylvio was able to back Yugo into a corner using his low-Level "[[Abyss Actor]]" monsters and his "{{[[Abyss Stage Prop - Escape Stage Coach (anime)|Abyss Stage Prop - Escape Stage Coach}}]]" to reduce the ATK of "Clear Wing" to zero. Yugo was able to come back on the next turn, using Yuya's catchphrase to Sylvio's surprise. Yugo was able to destroy Sylvio's monsters and increase the ATK of "Clear Wing" by combining the effect of "Clear Wing" with that of "{{[[Hi-Speedroid Hagoita (anime)|Hi-Speedroid Hagoita}}]]", then attack directly for the win.
[[File:SilvioSeesYugoasYuya.png|thumb|250px|left|Sylvio notes how much Yugo resembles Yuya after their Duel.]]
Sylvio was angered by the loss, but he cheered up after hearing the crowd applauding and shouting his name. He turned to tell Yugo to acknowledge the crowd's applause but was shocked to learn that Yugo resembled Yuya. Before Sylvio could talk further, the staff took him away.<ref name="ep72">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|72|ref}}</ref>

Upon arriving to meet Gong and Chojiro and learning from [[Lucas Swank]] that one had to win consecutive Duels in order to leave, Sylvio immediately challenged the group to a Duel.<ref name="ep73">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

He was doing cleanup work with Gong until and noticed [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]] starting a riot. [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]] came down arrived and explained that Duel Academy had invaded New Domino City. Sylvio, Gong, and Shay then got their [[Duel Disk]]s from Moon Shadow, who also informed them that Riley was Dueling alone to protect Celina. Sylvio and Shay decided to go and help while Gong stayed to protect Zuzu from Security. Their escape route was blocked off by an electric gate, forcing Sylvio and Shay to Duel against five guards, who were all defeated by Shay's "{{[[Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon (anime)|Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon}}]]". Lucas arrived on a mining cart to capture them but crashed into the gate. The Stomptroopers arrived and surrounded them but were stopped when Shinji activated the conveyer conveyor belt. Lucas returned to Duel them but was stopped by [[Duel Chaser Officer 227]] and his fellow former officers, allowing Shay, Sylvio, and Moon Shadow to escape.<ref name="ep90">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

When Sylvio, Gong, and Chojiro reunited with Yuya, Moon Shadow, Sora, and Riley, Sylvio accused Sora but Yuya defended him. They found out Zuzu and Celina were captured by [[Sergey Volkov|Sergey]] and [[Barrett]], respectively. They also learned that Roger 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. Sylvio still suspected him as a enemy when he was going to rescue Zuzu, but Gong also defended Sora. When Yuya and Gong were about to leave as well, Sylvio was angry about staying behind but Chojiro told him that protecting Riley can only be done by somebody close to Declan. Sylvio changed his mind and asked Riley to call him big brother as well.<ref name="ep93">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|93|ref}}</ref>
[[file:GongSylvioBlockCommons.png|thumb|250px|left|Sylvio and Gong block the rioting Commons' path.]]After watching the [[Commons (ARC-V)|Commons]] and Sector Security's battle escalate, Sylvio and Chojiro argue about how to get through. Before they come to a decision, Riley's traumatic memories again causes him to join the battle before being calmed by Shay. When they arrived at the Capital Building, the front entrance was blocked by Sector Security. Before they could come up with a plan, Declan arrived and destroyed their Trap Cards with "{{[[D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga (anime)|D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga}}]]"'s effect. After defeating Sector Security, they went get Yuya on Shay's "[[Raidraptor]]s", where they found Yuya, Gong, [[Sam (ARC-V)|Sam]], Frank, [[Amanda]] and Tarren on the bridge to the [[Duel Palace]] about to be attacked by Commons who had mistaken them for retreating Topsiders. Once he was in the stadium, Yuya challenged Jack to a Duel.<ref name="ep95">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

They succeeded in stopping the riots as everyone was getting wrapped into the Duel and Sylvio was happy when Yuya won, but disappointed when Gong beat him to naming the [[Pendulum Effect]] of "{{[[Nirvana High Paladin (anime)|Nirvana High Paladin}}]]". The Council broadcasted via holograms their confession of the true purpose of tournament, resigned and disbanded, and dissolved the Topsiders and Commons system. Everyone widely clapped and agreed, and celebrations continued. Sylvio also watched Sora's broadcast and was surprised when Roget took Zuzu.<ref name="ep98">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|98|ref}}</ref>
[[File:LancersLookOverHeartland.png|thumb|250px|Sylvio look over Heartland.]]He and Gong arrived at the ruins of Roget's office and they wondered whether Sora had been buried in the rubble, but Shay arrived and reassured them that Sora would not let that stop themhim. They found Yuya, Crow and [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack Atlas]] with Riley and Moon Shadow outside a room where Declan was Dueling Roger. Sora managed to let the Lancers in, where they learned that Roget was using holographic clones to repeatedly Duel Declan. When Declan managed to thwart Roget's loop of Duels, Roger revealed that the Professor, the leader of Duel Academy, was none other than [[Leo Akaba]], Declan's father and the founder of LID and the Leo Corporation. Declan managed to throw off the accusations against him and Roget retreated. Sylvio witnessed Yuya and Zuzu's reunion and Roget's attempts to kill them all by dropping the City into the void between dimensions. After Roget and Zuzu were both sucked away, Sylvio came to Gong and Shay's aid when Yuya was beginning to get sucked in too, but their efforts were in vain and all four Lancers were sucked into the portal. They came to in a ruined city, and Sylvio questioned whether New Domino had been destroyed. Shay informed them that they were in fact in his home: [[Heartland City (ARC-V)|Heartland City]] in the [[Xyz Dimension]].<ref name="ep99">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|99|ref}}</ref>
===Heartland City===
[[Shay Obsidian|Shay]] left Sylvio, [[Gong Strong|Gong]] and [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]] to go and seek out the base of [[the Resistance]], but he did not return, so the three [[Lancers]] wandered the ruins of Heartland. Sylvio was starving and hallucinated an oasis, but when admonished for it by Gong, legitimately spotted a woman gathering water and food. The woman fled upon seeing their [[Duel Disk]]s, so the Lancers attempted to return her supplies, though Sylvio had to be persuaded not to have some. They witnessed a man being [[Human Sealing Technology|sealed]] into a card by three [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]] students and found the woman's house, eventually managing to convince them to take their food back. Sylvio was extremely tempted by the food and he argued with Gong over eating it, until Gong's growling stomach and the generosity of the woman's sons allowed them to have some. The woman also explained that the Resistance had been wiped out for some time. The three Duel Academy students returned, but they were stayed from sealing the group when they noticed that the Lancers were Duelists. Yuya, Gong and Sylvio defeated them all using Yuya's "[[Smile World (anime)|Smile World]]" and a [[Pendulum Summon]], also succeeding in entertaining the family. Sylvio tried to use the Duel Academy Duelists' Duel Disk to seal them into cards, but Yuya stopped him. Sylvio protested that they couldn't just let the students flee and was proven right when the students did flee, but he and the Lancers saw the students sealed into cards by [[Kite Tenjo (ARC-V)|Kite Tenjoa Duelist]] with a [[Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon (anime)|dragon]] who then challenged the Lancers to a Duel.<ref name="ep100">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

The Duelist, who Yuya identified as Kite Tenjo, concluded that they were invaders after seeing Sylvio use an Action Card. Sylvio tried to prevent Kite from [[Xyz Summon]]ing his dragon, but Kite managed to counter his attempts and call out "[[Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon (anime)|Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon]]", defeating Sylvio and Gong.<ref name="ep101">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yuya Xyz Summoned "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]", [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]] and [[Alan|two]] [[Saya Sasayama|other]] Resistance members interrupted the Duel and Shay clarified that Yuya, Sylvio and Gong were his comrades. While Kite was still in doubt, Shay assured Kite that Yuya wanted to stop Duel Academy as much as they did, asking him to trust Yuya like he did. Upon hearing Yuya's last name and the female Resistance member's plea to return, Kite refused before taking his leave of them.<ref name="ep102">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Upon witnessing Alan mistaking Yuya for Yuto, he asked who Yuto was (as he had never learned his name when they Dueled). Gong explained to Sylvio that Yuto was someone [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]] had met a few times who looked like Yuya. Sylvio learned of the second massive attack that Duel Academy had launched that had wiped out most of the Heartland civilians and the Resistance members. He, Yuya and Gong were surprised and shocked to hear of [[Yusho Sakaki]]'s visit to the dimension as well as the fact that Yusho was well-known in Heartland.<ref name="ep103">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|103|ref}}</ref> Shay later met up with Kite again, and as they prepared to Duel, Sylvio and Gong arrived to stop them, but were unable to do so. During the Duel, Sylvio explained Action Cards to Alan and Saya. Yuya arrived, and also failed to stop the Duel, but Shay began to use Action Cards, calling them the power of his comrades, the Lancers. Sylvio and Gong explained the effects of each card he used, and they realized in shock that Shay's final card had been "[[Take Flight (Action Card)|Take Flight]]", which he couldn't use at the time. They were surprised when Yuya revealed that Yuto was residing inside him. Kite defeated Shay and prepared to seal him in a card, but Saya begged him not to before revealing that she had witnessed [[Lulu Obsidian]]'s kidnapping. This revelation shocked Sylvio, and Kite reluctantly complied before leaving again.<ref name="ep105">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Shay arrived and decided to split the Lancers into two groups to find Saya. While they were searching through Heartland, Gong and Sylvio heard an eplosion, and they found the unconscious bodies of Alan and Saya at the source. Sylvio asked the [[Gloria Tyler|female]] [[Grace Tyler|Duelists]] that had defeated the two Resistance members if they were from Duel Academy. When the Duelists asked who he was, Sylvio revealed he and the others were Lancers, and he and Gong Dueled the Tyler sisters.<ref name="ep107">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|107|ref}}</ref> Sylvio and Gong were defeated as well due to the handicap that the Tag Duel gave Gong, just as Yuya and Shay arrived.

He was pleased when Yuya and Shay were able to defeat the Tyler sisters.<ref name="ep108">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

They learned that the Duel Academy forces in Heartland had decided to abandon the [[Arc Project]] and help rebuild the [[Xyz Dimension]] as a means of atonement. Sylvio agreed with Alan when he expressed his concern over the decision to let Duel Academy help even if Yuya had opened their hearts. Yuto talked through Yuya, and Sylvio wondered if Yuya was talking, but Gong clarified that it was Yuto. He was surprised when Aster revealed that there was a way to restore the people who had been sealed into cards, but they would first have to retrieve the cards from Duel Academy in the Fusion Dimension. Sylvio, Yuya, Gong, and Kite bid goodbye to their allies and they traveled to the Fusion Dimension using the [[Interdimensional Travel Technology|Interdimensional Travel Device]] in Duel Academy's base. Upon their arrival, they found Zuzu cornered by Duel Academy soldiers.<ref name="ep112">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

As they set sail on Captain Cutter's ship, more Duel Academy soldiers arrived by helicopter and Celina took Zuzu hostage. Cutter's crewmates tied Sylvio and Gong up and Sylvio cursed Celina for betraying them. He watched the Duel in worry as Cutter pressured Yuya with "[[Captain Lock]]" and knocked Yuya off the ship. Fortunately, [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]] [[Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower (anime)|saved]] Yuya, while Moon Shadow freed Sylvio and Gong and they escaped to the speedboat that the Lancers had brought. [[Sora Perse|Sora]] joined the Duel, and Sylvio tried to warn him about the effect of "Captain Lock", but Sora already knew to counter the effect by Fusion Summoning, as Gong explained to Sylvio (who claimed that he knew that).

When Yuto started Z-ARC tried to talk through Yuyause "[[Supreme Faceoff]]", Sylvio wondered if was Yuya talking but Gong corrected used the second effect of "Abyss Entertainment" to prevent him.

He asked Yuya where that courage come from and found Zuzu cornered told him if he keeps forgetting, he'll keep reminding him. Sylvio used "Abyss Entertainment" again by Duel Academy soldiers.<ref name=Tributing "Wild Hope" and setting "ep112Abyss King">{{episode|Yuagain, which he activates to target "Z-GiARC". However, "Z-Oh! ARC-V" was unaffected due to [[Fusion Monster|112Fusion]], [[Synchro Monster|ref}}</ref> Synchro]], and [[Xyz Monster]]s being in the [[graveyard]] or [[banish]]ed, and cannot be destroyed.

As they set sail on Captain Solo's ship, more Duel Academy soldiers arrived by helicopter and Zuzu Sylvio was taken hostage by a brainwashed Celina. Sylvio and Gong were tied up by Solo's crewmates and Sylvio cursed Celina for betraying them. They watched Yuya Dueled against Solo and Sylvio wondered why Solo Fusion Summoned "[[Captain Lock]]". When Solo revealed the effect of "Lock" that surprised when a monster with 1000 or more ATK is on the field, he thought "LockZ-ARC" will destroy itselfhad killed Declan, Sylvio wondered why Solo would tell Yuya but relieved that since he prevented him from summoning monsters. He was worried when Yuya started losing LP and when Solo knocked Yuya off the ship until Crow [[Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower (anime)|savedMoon Shadow]] him. He had returned and Gong were then freed by Moon Shadow and they jumped onto the speed boatsaved Declan. He was worried pleased when Solo used "[[Grand Naval BattleRay Akaba|Ray]]" to shoot at their speed boat. When Sora joined the Duel, Sylvio tried to tell him about the effect of "Captain Lock" but Sora somehow already knew how to counter it with his [[Extra DeckFour Nature Cards|turned]]. When Gong told him that Sora can summon monsters from it as opposed to his hand, Sylvio remarked that he already knew that. He watched Yuya and Sora defeat Solo and heard the message Shinji and Chojiro sent them.<ref name="ep115">{{episode|Yuall of Z-Gi-Oh!

He started running until he spotted " to copy "[[Battle BeastTwilight Ninja Jogen (anime)|someoneTwilight Ninja Jogen]] staring at him from the bushes's" effect, Sylvio noted Yuya would survive and was having a poor endgame.<ref name="ep118ep141">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Sylvio encouraged the Duelist to come out and face them, but Crow told Sylvio outright He learned that he would be unable to defeat the Duelist and attacked Sylvio directly with "{{anime|Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower}}", damaging his Duel Disk in the process. Sylvio quickly realized that Crow had done so on purpose in an attempt to protect him by removing him from the duel.

Sylvio was amazed when Jack dealt heavy damage to the Battle Beast world but wondered why it was so high until Gong reminded him of the effect of "[[Pollice Verso]]". When Sander brought "[[Gladiator Beast Andabatae]]" back with "[[Gladiator Beast Tamer Editor]]", Sylvio was surprised. He and Gong were surprised when Sanders revealed that the Professor ordered him to eliminate Yuya. When Yuya was mentioned Z-ARC's soul being in lost in thought, they called out to him because of Sanders' attack. Sylvio criticized Sanders' teachings when he told his students to follow rules despite having five some part of them cardedRiley. He told Yuya not to get lost now also learned that Z-ARC will resurrect and take on Crow and Moonthe world will be at risk again if they don's enemyt do it. Sylvio was happy that "Andabatae's" effects were negated but annoyed that Battle Beast used "surprised when Gong summoned a [[Gladiator Beast Assault FortSuperheavy Samurai Steam Train King (anime)|new monster]]"and rode it.

When the students wanted their instructor sealed into a card, Sylvio wondered if people's lives mattered to them. He was worried when Yuya was about to be defeated by the effect of "Gladiator Beast Tamer Editor".

He was happy that Battle Beast no longer had any monsters in his fortress and that then wondered why Yuya still had attacked "PararhinoDarkness Armageddon" due to winits ATK being higher than "Wing Dragon".

==Relationships==
===Declan Akaba===
Sylvio is shown to greatly respect and admire [[Declan Akaba|Declan]]'s Dueling abilities as shown when he bragged about how he was well known for his multiple Summoning methods to [[Dennis MacfieldMcField|Dennis]]. Declan in return, is shown to have faith in Sylvio's abilities as shown by how he entrusted Sylvio with the task of taking [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]]'s [[Pendulum Monster]]s, had him test a "[[Yosenju]]" Pendulum Deck, and had him become a [[Lancers|Lancer]] to aid the others during the invasion by the [[Obelisk Force]]. Declan also taught Sylvio how to Pendulum Summon. It is implied they have some prior connection because there is no other reason given as to why Declan would choose him to steal Yuya's cards.
===Yuya Sakaki===
===Crow Hogan===
When [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]] and his gang saved Sylvio and the other [[Lancers]] from [[Security]], Sylvio showed sincere respect and gratitude to Crow. While Crow found Sylvio's claims about the Lancers and [[Standard Dimension]] strange, he didn't seem to dislike Sylvio. After Sylvio defended Crow from a large Security guard which allowed Crow and his friends to escape, they seem to have gained respect for each other, giving each other a thumbs up. When  Despite being initially angry that Crow had sacrificed himself to save him, when Crow was sealed into a [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V card)|card]] by [[Battle Beast]], Sylvio grew extremely upset and immediately ran to save his card when Battle Beast was about to step on it, showing how much he cares for and respects Crow. Due to Crow's actions Sylvio came to recognize the importance of others sacrificing themselves for those they care about, and behaved more emotionally than usual. He was horrified when he lost the card, but overjoyed when Crow was freed from the card and returned to Duel Z-ARC with him.
===Gong Strong===
Despite While not getting along at first, Sylvio and Gong grew to be friends and allies as part of the Lancers and mutual friends of Yuya. They have been each other's most frequent tag-team partners in Duels. Gong later entrusted his Duel Disk and Yuya's pendant to Sylvio, believing that he could get through to Yuya.

It focuses on [[Pendulum Summon]]s ing and is supported by the "[[Abyss Script]]" [[archetype]] of [[Spell Card]]s. During the Heartland City arcthird season, he also demonstrates a focus on restricting the opponent's [[Extra Deck]]. Like his previous "Yosenju" Deck, it is not composed of Parallel Rare cards.

==Trivia==
* All of Sylvio's major wins on screen so far have been in Duels where he teamed up with other people.
* Sylvio has changed Decks more frequently than most characters in the franchise - only [[Chazz Princeton]] has changed Decks more than him. This behavior is typical of actual people who play Duel Monsters.
