This series marks the only ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]!'' series to show all unique types of Summoning from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game]]'' (though at the time, both ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' showed the available Summoning types): [[Ritual Summon]] (from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''), [[Fusion Summon]] (from ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' and ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX''), [[Synchro Summon]] (from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''), [[Xyz Summon]] (from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]''), and the newly introduced Pendulum Summon.

It has a slightly different story structure than any Yu-Gi-Oh! series that came before it. Rather than having a handful of characters to remain the focus throughout the entire show, only [[Yuya Sakaki]] and [[Zuzu Boyle]] maintains permanent "main character" status; there are many other major characters with a only a handful being in the spotlight at any given moment.

==Allusions to previous series==
+
==Differences in adaptations==
−
Like the series' predecessor, [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]], this series has many allusions to the previous ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' series.  However, unlike ''ZEXAL'' and more akin to the original series, ''GX'' and ''5D's'', ''ARC-V'' also contains valid continuity of previous series' concepts (namely with older Dueling technology and series' settings) of which also play significant roles within ''ARC-V'', rather than just being eye candy. However, despite the perpetuity of some of the below areas of note from the previous four sub-''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' series, none of them have yet to directly correlate with concise plot lines from previous series in ''ARC-V''.
+
===General edits===
 +
General edits involve changes to dialog, names and scoring.
 +
*Some names are Americanized.
 +
**The names of terms returning from previous series' are changed to be the same as in previous dubs, while in the Japanese they are often different (for example, Public Security Bureau and Neo Domino City became Security and the City in the Japanese between ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' and ''ARC-V'', while they are Sector Security and New Domino City in both ''5D's'' and ''ARC-V'' in the dub).
 +
*All of the music in the dub is rescored.
 +
*The [[Pendulum Zone]] activation and point gauge sound effects are replaced with different ones than the originals.
 +
*Dialog is added in some scenes to remove silence.
 +
*[[Frederick]]'s shivers are changed to various terms; in later episodes a common term is "goosepickle".
 +
*[[Chojiro Tokumatsu]]'s mantra of "Enjoy Dueling" is changed to "Be a Hero".
 +
*The flashbacks of [[Invasion of Xyz Dimension|Heartland's invasion]] are tinged purple.
  
−
===Multiple series===
+
===Paint edits===
−
* [[Yuya Sakaki]]'s [[ace monster]], "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]", has 2500 [[ATK]], like all of the previous protagonists' ace monsters. Like all of the ace monsters since GX, "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" has 2000 DEF. It is also [[Level]] 7 like Yugi's "[[Dark Magician]]" and Jaden's "[[Elemental HERO Neos]]". It also follows the rotation of [[Attribute]]s and [[Type]]s that started from the first series. However, it is the first to have the Attribute of one previous ace monster and the Type of another, in this case the [[DARK]] Attribute of "Dark Magician" and the [[Dragon]] Type of "Stardust Dragon" (since [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]]'s "[[Number 39: Utopia]]" had both the Type and Attribute of "Neos").
+
Paint edits involve changes to the footage. General edits that involves digital paint goes under this category.
−
** The shared traits of the ace monsters (as well as the character's name starting with "Yu") extends to Yuya's [[Dimensional counterparts]]. As such, since "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" doesn't have a level, it shares the Rank and Xyz material requirements with "Number 39: Utopia".
+
[[File:Nico_Smiley_Comparison.png|thumb|An example of a paint edit in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, where [[Nico Smiley]]'s moustache is edited. Left is the Japanese version and right is the dubbed version.|400x400px]]
−
* As with all series since GX, the protagonist's Deck focuses on monsters from the [[Extra Deck]] (though here they don't start out there) and like all series since 5D's, the monsters (including the protagonist's ace monster) are a new type of card introduced in that series (though Jaden did introduce Contact Fusion).
+
*[[Nico Smiley]]'s mustache was lengthened to avoid resemblance to Adolf Hitler.
−
* The [[Duel Disk]]s used in the series seem to be a hybrid of previously mainstream Disks from most of the previous series:
+
*The "LDS" (Leo Duel School) sign is changed to "LID" (Leo Institute of Dueling) in order to avoid associations to the Mormon Church of Latter Day Saints (also abreviated LDS).
−
** The Disk's card table is composed of [[Solid Vision]] energy, very similar to the Disks used by the [[Three Pure Nobles]] as well as the Disks used by Duelists in the said trio's alleged future of which [[Synchro Summon]]ing dooms the human race.
+
*The Duelist's names in the beginning of all Duels are removed and the LP counter is enlarged.
−
*** The said card table is also in a very strikingly similar shape to the original [[Kaiba Corp]] Duel Disks first utilized in the [[Battle City]].
+
*Skirts and socks on female characters are lengthened to avoid any sexual implications.
−
** The touchscreen computer portion of the Disks as well as the Deck slot locations also strongly mirror each respective component seen in the [[D-Pad]]s in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL''. Also, the Disks are used for communication in a similar fashion as the [[Duel Gazer]].
+
*Most of the Japanese text is digitally painted out.
−
*** Indeed, this portion of the Disk is colored red in Yuya's (main character in ''ARC-V'') Disk, similar to how Yuma's (main protagonist in ''ZEXAL'') D-Pad is red-colored.
+
*When a Duelist is holding a card(s) in a way that it appears like they're flipping the bird, their hand is redrawn. A common example of this is when a Duelist is about to place a [[Pendulum Monster]](s) in their Pendulum Zone(s) while holding Pendulum Monster(s).
−
* The first Duel of the series has the opponent use a monster with 3000 ATK (though for the first time its ATK is raised beyond that) and it is defeated by using a (if not the) ace monster and altering the ATK of one or both monsters.
+
*In advertisements, every card shown is digitally painted out.
−
** The opponent is a strong figure (in at least some respects), which draws attention when they lose. As with the original series and ZEXAL, the opponent is a known Duel Monsters champion, and as with GX and 5D's the opponent is not the protagonist's rival, but simply someone with authority in the matter of the Duel.
+
*Some monsters are edited to correspond with their ''TCG'' artworks.
−
* As with all previous series, after the protagonist's premiere victory, the next Duel and/or episode takes a step back and shows a different result. In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second-series anime)|original series]], [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 002|episode 2]] features Yugi/Yami Yugi being defeated by Pegasus due to a timer. In GX, Jaden just barely doesn't defeat Chazz because the Duel was interrupted. In 5D's, Yusei is first shown losing to Jack in a flashback and then partakes in the first regular Duel of the series. In ZEXAL, Yuma outright loses to [[Caswell Francis|Caswell]] after realizing he doesn't possess the [[Number]]s anymore and Astral is nowhere to be seen. Here, Yuya loses to [[Yuzu Hiragi]] by putting himself in a tight spot to try Pendulum Summoning and not being able to do so.
 
−
* [[Shay]], [[Reginald Kastle]] and [[Joey Wheeler]] mirror each other with the fact that all three fight for the safety of their younger sisters ([[Ruri Kurosaki]], [[Rio Kastle]] and [[Serenity Wheeler]], respectively).
 
−
* [[Declan]], [[Kite Tenjo]] and [[Seto Kaiba]] also mirror each other with the fact that all three share a strong bond with their younger brothers ([[Reira]], [[Hart Tenjo]] and [[Mokuba Kaiba]], respectively).
 
−
* Yuya's "[[Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" and "[[Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" are similar to Yusei's "[[Shooting Star Dragon]]" and Yuma's "[[Number C39: Utopia Ray V]]" in several ways:
 
−
** All of them are the result of infusing the protagonists' ace monsters with power from the enemy (Yusei learned [[Accel Synchro Summon]]ing from [[Bruno]]/Antinomy; Yuma obtained "[[Rank-Up-Magic Limited Barian's Force]]" from Vector; and Yuya learned Fusion Summoning from Yuzu, who had learned it from [[Sora Shiun'in]], meaning that knowledge was passed down from [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]]).

** "Rune-Eyes" and "Shooting Star Dragon" are both able to attack multiple times.
 
−
** "Beast-Eyes" and "Utopia Ray V" are both able to inflict effect damage as the result of a monster's destruction (albeit by different ways).
 
−
* [[Berserk Mode (ability)|Berserk Mode]] is similar to [[The Gentle Darkness]] in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' and [[Dark ZEXAL]] in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL''. Each case is due to the wielder being affected by (or combined with) a counterpart of theirs. This affected the wielders' personalities negatively, causing them to develop aggressive Dueling styles.
 
−
*  Like [[Téa Gardner]] and [[Tori Meadows]], Yuzu Hiragi is a childhood friend of the main protagonist and like [[Alexis Rhodes]] and [[Akiza Izinski]] she Duels alongside him as part of a group dealing with the events of the series. As with all of them, she has strong feelings for said protagonist, which are not expressed directly and are seen through similar circumstances in each series (e.g. worrying about them when they're missing and/or in danger, getting angry when others fawn over them, etc.).
 
−
* Like Jaden and Yuma, Yuya begins the series as a cheerful and positive person who Duels only for fun, but as the series progresses and he watches others continuously risk their lives, he slowly becomes colder and less optimistic, and finds it increasingly harder to enjoy Dueling.

===Deleted scenes===
−
* Yuya's pendant causes his gaming ability to evolve and win the current Duel, but does not allow him to remember. This is similar to the earlier occurrences of [[Yami Yugi]] taking over for Yugi and Yugi would have no memory of his actions.
+
Deleted scenes involve cutting footage.
−
** This is furthered mirrored by the [[Berserk Mode (ability)|berserk state]] that occurs when Yuya and/or any of his dimensional counterparts clash with the effect causing a shift in how they duel and leaving them with no memory of what happened (even more so for Yami Yugi's earlier appearances where he would take aggressive measures against those he fought). This is further evidenced when Yuya and Yuto combine to cause this effect much like Yugi and Yami Yugi.
+
*The explanation of [[Action Duel]]s before the beginning of an opening is cut.
−
* Yuya's first (full) Duel of the series is against the reigning champion and is Dueling due to his father's absence and uses the Duel to show the kind of Dueling he wants everyone to experience and use. This mirrors Yugi/Yami Yugi's Duel against [[Seto Kaiba]] for the sake of his [[Solomon Moto|grandpa]] and tries to teach Kaiba about respecting the cards and Dueling with heart. In both cases, when they lose doubt, they remember what their respective family said to them about Dueling (and essentially life) and draw their last card of the Duel, which allows them to win in one-shot using five monster cards in a way that had never been done before.
+
*Some close up shots showing lots of text are cut. An example is a close up shot of a Poster with text or a close up shot of the contents of a book.
−
* [[Gong]], Yuya's best friend, uses a "[[Superheavy Samurai]]" Deck that functions as a monster only Deck. This is similar to [[Joey Wheeler]], Yugi's best friend, making his earliest Deck (as seen in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 002|episode 2]] of that series) entirely out of monsters though for different reasons. In both cases the main character consults them on this to understand their Dueling better (and in Yugi's case to develop Joey's abilities) in very similar settings.
+
*Some scenes that are too violent to be shown are cut, edited or shortened.
−
* [[Silvio]] kidnaps [[Yuya Sakaki]]'s friends like [[Marik Ishtar]] kidnaps [[Yugi Muto]]'s friends in order to force their respective opponents into Dueling them.
+
*The scenes of the implements of the "[[Frightfur]]" monsters bursting from their bodies were initially cut from the dub, but were later left in.
−
* [[Declan]] being the president of [[Leo Corporation]] mirrors Seto Kaiba as the president of Kaiba Corp. Both seem to be elite Duelists and have similar hair styles. They also own three copies of their ace monsters.
 
−
** Also, [[Leo Duel School]] is owned by Leo Corporation, like Duel Academy is owned by Kaiba Corp.
 
−
** It may be moreover implied that the Leo Corporation is a successor to Kaiba Corp, seeing as how both business conglomerates possess a ''de facto'' influence on the Dueling industry in each respective series.  The Duel Disks that presumably were also made by Leo Corporation, are also very similar in appearance to the ones initially fabricated by Kaiba Corp.
 
−
* Declan's apparently testy relationship with his [[Leo Akaba|father]] appears to be similar to Kaiba's relationship with [[Gozaburo Kaiba|his stepfather]].
 
−
* Like [[Maximillion Pegasus]], [[Shay]] and [[The Academia]] have the ability to seal people into [[Soul Prison|cards]] with the frame of a [[Normal Monster]] card.
 
−
* Like [[Dartz]], [[Leo Akaba]] operates out of an island base and has duelists seal people into cards to further his goal and is after protagonists of the show in particular as part of a set and is met with opposition by his family (more specifically, his child). Also, he ran a major corporation at one point.
 
−
* The [[Maiami Championship]] finals taking place through out the city is similar to how the [[Battle City]] tournament was held.
 
  
−
===''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''===
+
==See also==
−
* The anime setting is primarily in You Show Duel School, similar to ''GX'''s [[Duel Academy]].
+
*[[Portal:Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|Portal:''Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V'']]
−
** The class system of the schools in ''ARC-V'' (i.e. Leo Duel School in comparison to You Show Duel School) mirrors the class system trichotomy that the [[Obelisk Blue]], [[Ra Yellow]], and [[Slifer Red]] dorms respectively embody.
 
−
** Yuya (the main protagonist in ''ARC-V'') sports a red shirt as part of his attire and attends a school that seems to be the lowest on the "totem pole," similar to how Jaden Yuki (the main protagonist in ''GX'') wears a red jacket that is reflective of his dorm, Slifer Red, of which is the most pauperized of the three dorms.
 
−
* [[Silvio]]'s personality is similar to [[Chazz Princeton]]'s. Both Duelists are arrogant and believe that strong and rare cards can win Duels. They swore revenge on the main protagonists of their respective series after being defeated by them.
 
−
** Both were, at one point, also accompanied by a few toadies.
 
−
** Both lost in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 004|episode]] [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V - Episode 004|4]] of their respective series to the respective protagonists by cards they considered weak.
 
−
** The next time they Dueled, they also both almost completely altered their Decks from newly introduced cards to cards from an archetype established in the previous series with a few additions to it (Chazz from using mostly [[Fiend]]s to the "[[VWXYZ]]" cards whereas Silvio switched from the "[[Darts Shooter]]" cards to the "[[Monarch (series)|Monarch]]s") and completely clear their opponent's field in their last turn before losing an exactly zero loss. They then Dueled the series' main protagonist in a "school duel" using cards they received from the school that have effects to clear the opponent's field ("[[Armed Dragon]]" for Chazz and "[[Yosenju]]" for Silvio).
 
−
* In [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V - Episode 008|episode 8]], the LDS sent elite Duelists from their school to the You Show Duel School to Duel students from the latter as a sort of "punishment" to rectify Yuto's (who they think was really Yuya) actions in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V - Episode 007|the previous episode]].  This is similar to how Jaden Yuki and [[Syrus Truesdale]] were forced to Duel the [[Paradox Brothers]] (the latter characters touted as two of the most elite Duelists in ''GX'') as punishment for illegally entering the [[Abandoned Dorm]].
 
−
* The series acknowledges the existence of [[Fusion Monster]]s as monsters only the elite use.
 
−
* Like [[Sartyr]], [[Michio Mokota]]'s Deck is a cooking theme.
 
−
* Like [[Bob Banter]], [[Eita Kyuando]]'s Dueling style involves a quiz theme.
 
−
* [[Mieru Hochun]] is an expert in fortune telling like [[Sartorius]].
 
−
** In addition, she uses [[Arcana Force]] cards as her Tarot cards, since the Arcana Force represent the Tarot.
 
−
* Yuya and Jaden primarily focus on specific archetypes, "[[Performapal]]" and "[[Elemental HERO]]", respectively.
 
−
* Yuya's strategy of swarming the field with monsters via is just like [[Jaden Yuki]]'s strategy of bringing Fusion Monsters with relative ease.
 
−
* The ''ARC-V'' [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]] bears [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)#Allusions to Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|many similarities]] to the ''GX'' [[Duel Academy]].
 
−
** Both places are based on an island with no other land in sight.
 
−
** People in both places wear [[Slifer Red|Red]], [[Ra Yellow|Yellow]], and [[Obelisk Blue|Blue]] blazers.
 
−
** An elite force of Duelists in ''ARC-V'' are called the [[Obelisk Force]] in reference to the highest ranking dorm in ''GX''.
 
−
*** Obelisk Force is seen using "[[Ancient Gear]]" monsters, which were previously used by [[Vellian Crowler]].
 
−
** The Duel Disks used at both Academies resemble each other.
 
−
* Like in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'', characters from past series will make reappearances. In ''GX,'' [[Yugi Muto]], [[Solomon Muto]], the [[Paradox Brothers]], [[Maximillion Pegasus]], and [[Seto Kaiba]] appeared as supporting characters. See [[#Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|below]] for reappearances in ''ARC-V''.

* [[Jack Atlas]] and [[Crow Hogan]] from ''5D's'' will be making a return in ''ARC-V''.
+
* [http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/yugioh-arcv/ tv-tokyo.co.jp] ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V'' official site
−
** They will be returning as [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|alternate]] [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|versions]] of their selves.
 
−
* Just like [[Turbo Duel]]s, [[Action Duel]]s require a [[Field Spell Card]] to be activated before the start of the Duel that sets rules on a specific type of Spell Card (and also Trap Cards here) that are unique to those Duels. Also, the Duelists riding around on their monsters within the field can be seen as an evolution of using [[Duel Runner]]s.
 
−
* Both Yuya and [[Yusei Fudo]] have a similar strategy: swarming the field with monsters that are generally low in power/Level, but have beneficial effects to compensate for low power, while setting up for their respective aces to deal the final blow.
 
−
* [[Yuto]] has an ability to inflict real damage, destruction and pain, which is similar to both [[Psychic Duelist]]s and [[Shadow Duel]]s.
 
−
* The series acknowledges the existence of [[Synchro Monster]]s as monsters only the elite use.
 
−
* [[Yugo]], a Duelist from the [[Synchro Dimension]], uses a [[Duel Runner]]. Furthermore, his ace monster, "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]," has 2500 ATK and DEF and is a [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] [[WIND]] [[Attribute]] [[Synchro Monster]], like Yusei Fudo's "[[Stardust Dragon]]."
 
−
**In addition, Yugo sharing Yuya's appearance as a Turbo Duelist is similar to [[Z-ONE]] copying Yusei, which was revealed in Z-ONE's flashback.
 
−
** Yugo's childhood is also similar to Yusei's as a difference between social classes seem to exist much like [[Satellite]] and [[New Domino City]].
 
−
* Declan insinuating an evolution in [[Pendulum Summon]] to Yuya is very likely similar to [[Bruno]] showing further evolution in [[Synchro Summon]] to Yusei. In both cases, while the protagonist attempts to learn the new evolution, they Fusion Summon for the first time using their ace monster and one of their other signature monsters of the same card type (though it was only the Monster Type that was needed) as the materials.
 
−
* Declan using the [[Maiami Championship]] for his [[Lancers Selection]] to fight his [[Leo Akaba|father]] is similar to [[Rex Goodwin]] using the [[Fortune Cup]] to assemble the [[Signer]]s to have them fight his [[Roman Goodwin|older brother]] after both were told of what was to come years before by their respective family member.
 
−
* Declan's deck reflects Jack Atlas' as both revolve primarily around [[Fiend]] and [[Warrior]] type monsters, use multiple Extra Deck summoning methods that can lead into each other, have a "ruler" theme, use Spells and Traps to use their monsters to summon and strengthen their stronger monsters as well as circumventing card costs by using the opponent's moves to their advantage.
 
−
* The field spell where Gong duels in episode 39 looks a bit similar to the [[Ecole de Zone]] card.
 
−
** Similarly [[Yuzo Tanegashima|Yuzo]] hiding from Gong in the duel is similar to how [[Sherry]] tried to hide while dueling against [[Crow]] and [[Akiza]]
 
−
* Yuya and his counterparts being linked through their [[Four Dimension Dragons|ace dragon monsters]] is similar to the [[Signer]]s and their [[Signer Dragon|dragons]] in that dueling each other causes a reaction through their connection that is strongest when their respective dragons are summoned and when they battle each other.
 
−
** Yuya's Berserk State is visually similar to the effect Yusei and Jack experienced when they first saw the [[Crimson Dragon]]. Ironically, both cases involved one member of the respective group summoning another's dragon during the duel.
 
−
* The [[Maiami Championship]] mirrors the [[World Racing Grand Prix]] in that both feature a [[Battle Royal]] across their respective cities part way through the tournament where duels are continuously joined and/or interrupted. Both Battle Royals are arranged by one of the people responsible for the tournament and do so for the sake of attempting to further their goal.
 
−
* Yuya's second duel against Sora ended very similarly to Yusei's first duel against [[Andre]].
 
−
** Both protagonists faced 3 high ATK monsters but were able to overpower at least one of them, and both duels ended right before the play that would determine the winner resolved due to the duel's time limit expiring.
 
−
* A Turbo Duel has been confirmed for a future episode.
 
−
* The [[Duel Chasers]] finally making their appearance after being mentioned by [[Tetsu Trudge]] in ''5D's''.
 
−
* A similar introduction to 5D's last season opening regarding Turbo duels and Duel Runners is also made for Arc-V now that the Synchro Dimension is visited.
 
−
* [[Yuzu Hiragi]] experiencing what a Turbo Duel is like is much similar to how [[Akiza]] did.
 
−
* The [[Security]] being an alternate version of [[Sector Security]].
 
−
* The [[City]] being an alternate version of [[New Domino City]].
 
−
* [[Tops (ARC-V)|Tops]] and [[Commons (ARC-V)|Commons]] being separated from each other is similar to the people of the [[Satellite]] and New Domino City.
 
−
 
 
−
===''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]''===
 
−
*  When Yuya draws the card he needs to turn a duel around, the card gives off light which is similar to that of a [[Shining Draw]].
 
−
* Similar as to how Yuma Tsukumo didn't have any of the new kind of monster ([[Xyz Monster]]s) at the start of ''ZEXAL'', Yuya began the ''ARC-V'' series without any Pendulum Monsters.
 
−
** In fact, both characters first obtained their first said monsters by supernatural means during their first full Duel of the series (Yuma obtained "[[Number 39: Utopia]]" after first using the [[Emperor's Key]] to open [[The Door]], which in turn, scattered [[Astral]]'s remaining memories ("[[Number]]s"), leaving the said card behind, whereas Yuya attained "[[Stargazer Magician]]", "[[Timegazer Magician]]" and "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" after his pendant glowed for the first time).
 
−
* Yuto, Yugo, and [[Yuri]] mirroring Yuya's appearance is similar to [[Number 96 (character)|Number 96]] taking Astral's form.
 
−
** Indeed, Yuto uses [[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon|a monster]] that uses a similar effect to Number 96's [[Number 96: Dark Mist|ace]].
 
−
* Yuya and [[Yuma Tsukumo]] own [[Yuya's pendant|special]] [[Emperor's Key|pendants]] that were given to them by [[Yusho Sakaki|their]] [[Kazuma Tsukumo|fathers]].
 
−
** Their fathers also gave them advice to motivate them in life - Kazuma taught Yuma "[[kattobingu]]", while Yusho taught Yuya to laugh when he felt down. The fathers also disappeared prior to the start of their respective series.
 
−
** Both Yuya and Yuma also regard Dueling as something intended for fun, rather than revenge or war.
 
−
** Yuya's "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (a [[Pendulum Monster]]) which is an upgraded form of his "[[Odd-Eyes Dragon]]" (an [[Effect Monster]]), mirrors [[Kite Tenjo]]'s "[[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]" (an Effect Monster) and "[[Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]" (an Xyz Monster), as both pairs are "Eyes" [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] monsters of which each said Effect Monsters' first upgraded forms are of the new kind of monster in each respective series.
 
−
* The series acknowledges the existence of Xyz Monsters as monsters only the elite use.
 
−
** Furthermore all Xyz Monsters featured in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime thus far use the two colors from the "Number" [[Overlay Network]] together for a slightly altered appearance (similar to the additions to tuning for a Synchro Summon).
 
−
** However, it is implied that Leo Duel School had no knowledge of Rank-Up Xyz Evolution prior to the duel between Sora and Shay.
 
−
* Like Kite Tenjo Dueling Yuma Tsukumo at their first encounter, Declan Dueled Yuya in two episodes.
 
−
**In first episodes, both Kite and Declan Summoned significant strong monsters quickly ("[[Number]]s" for Kite and each type of [[Extra Deck]] monsters showcased in the previous episodes for Declan) before sacrificing them to be able to play their 3000 ATK point monsters.
 
−
**In the second episodes, Kite and Declan proved to be a match for Yuma and Yuya, then left the Duel unfinished due to something happening with someone they need to check on and leaving their opponents shocked and despondent.
 
−
* Declan's father, [[Leo Akaba]], bears similarities to [[Dr. Faker]].
 
−
** Both are fathers to the archrivals (Declan and Kite) of the main protagonists (Yuya and Yuma) in their respective series.
 
−
** Both serve as the first primary antagonists in their respective series.
 
−
** Both of them have done things that they believe to be noble, albeit through questionable methods. Reo has been attacking cities in an effort to unite the [[Four Dimensions]], while Dr. Faker tried to destroy [[Astral World]] in order to save his son [[Hart Tenjo]].
 
−
** Both of their bodies have been mechanically enhanced in some fashion (Reo has a device implanted in his head; Faker has a robotic body).
 
−
* [[Yuto]] and [[Yugo]]'s confrontation shares similarities with Yuma and Kite's first Duel as well.
 
−
** The location where Kite and Yuma's Duel took place strikes resemblance to the devastated location where Yugo and Yuto were.
 
−
** Yugo's color clothing is the same as Kite.
 
−
** Lastly both battles were interrupted along with the fact that both Kite and Yugo left on a motorcycle.
 
−
* Sora's personality is similar to [[Quattro]]'s. Both Duelists hid their malicious personalities underneath a kind facade until the time was right for them. Their Decks also included [[Gimmick Puppet|horrific]] [[Frightfur|monsters]].
 
−
** Sora mirrors [[Vector]] as both are both from another dimension who joined the protagonist's group by acting overly friendly and following them around everywhere in order to progress their fight against another dimension and end up providing the protagonist with a card that led to an upgraded form of their ace monster. Both of their true natures are revealed during a duel where they openly and sadistically mock their opponents who both use two [[Rank-Up-Magic]] cards to upgrade their ace monsters.
 
−
**Additionally, both Yuma and Yuya try to repair their friendship with Vector and Sora respectively and convince them that their acts were actually their real selves.
 
−
* The [[Action Card|Action Field]] [[Future Metropolis Heartland]] is based on [[Heartland City]], where [[The Resistance]] lived before being attacked by [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]] much like the characters from ZEXAL.
 
−
** The [[Action Card]], "[[Mirror Barrier (Action Card)|Mirror Barrier]]" has the same appearance as the [[Sphere Field]]s.
 
−
* Shay uses [[Rank-Up-Magic]] cards like Yuma, Astral, [[Eliphas]], the [[Arclight Family]], and the [[Barian]]s.
 
−
** In particular, he refers to his Xyz Evolution as a [[Xyz Evolution#Rank-Up Xyz Evolution|Rank-Up Xyz Evolution]] like Eliphas did.
 
−
* Yuya's "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]", Yuto's "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]", Yugo's "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]", and "[[Yuri's Fusion Dragon]]" resonating is similar to Kite's and [[Mizar]]'s "[[Galaxy-Eyes]]" monsters resonating.
 
−
** Mizar and Yuto gave a Dragon-Type Xyz Monster to the main characters of their respective series (Mizar gave "[[Number 100: Numeron Dragon]]" to Yuma, while Yuto gave "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" to Yuya) just before they vanished before the protagonists' eyes. Also, Kite, who Mizar had brought "Numeron Dragon" for, appeared to Yuma before he summoned it much as Yuto did with Yuya.
 
−
* Using [[Duel Field]]s for the [[Maiami Championship]] finals is similar to how the finals for the [[World Duel Carnival]] were held.
 
−
*The [[Interdimensional Domination]] is a crisis that spans through different dimensions and serves as the main conflict of ''ARC-V'' like the [[Interdimensional War]] in ''ZEXAL''.
 
  
 
==Trivia==
 
==Trivia==
−
* Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V is similar to the 10th Heisei Kamen Rider Series, [[w:c:kamenrider:Kamen Rider Decade|Kamen Rider Decade]] in many ways.
+
*Contray to the acual Arabic dub episode broadcasting on MBC3, the official website rather uses the original Japanese imagery instead of those that are marketed by 4Kmedia.inc.<ref name="mbc3">[https://mbc3.mbc.net/#/shows/e72dced4855878d9cbdb|Yu-Gi-Oh!-ARC-V Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V on MBC3]</ref>
−
**Both series are the anniversary of their own franchise.
 
−
**Both series feature returning characters from previous series in their respective franchises.  
 
−
**Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V's usage of all the unique types of Summoning from all the previous series in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise is similar to the concept of [[w:c:kamenrider:Tsukasa Kadoya|Tsukasa Kadoya]] being able to transform into any past Rider from the Kamen Rider franchise. Both series utilize concepts from previous series in their own respective franchises while maintaining new ideas, such as Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V featuring [[Pendulum Summon]]s and Kamen Rider Decade featuring new Riders from its own series. 
 
−
**The main characters have to stop the unify of worlds.
 
−
*Aside from their lack of alternate worlds, Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V is also similar to [[w:c:powerrangers:Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger|Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]] and [[w:c:ultraman:Ultraman Ginga (series)|Ultraman Ginga]] in similar ways, as well as [[w:c:ultraman:Ultraman Mebius (series)|Ultraman Mebius]], though characters in Ultraman Mebius can not become previous ultra crusaders or kaiju like characters with a ginga spark or dark spark in Ultraman Ginga can.
 
−
*The Four Dimensions in Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V are thought by many to be the settings of the previous Yu-Gi-Oh Series with the Synchro Dimension for the Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh GX, and Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's timeline and the XYZ Dimension for the Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal timeline. There is much evidence to support this:
 
−
*The Synchro Dimension focuses on New Domino City, the setting for Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's
 
−
*The XYZ Dimension focuses on Heartland City, the setting for Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal
 
−
*Jack Atlas and Crow Hogan, two leading characters from Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's are set to re-appear in Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V in the Synchro Dimension
 
−
*Many background shots of Heartland City in the XYZ Dimension are actually redesigned shots from Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal
 
−
*Turbo Duels, which were only featured in Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's have been confirmed for a future episode

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-Ⅴ遊（ゆう）☆戯（ぎ）☆王（おう） ＡＲＣ－Ⅴ（アーク・ファイブ）Yūgiō Āku Faibu유☆희☆왕（Yu-Gi-Oh!） ARC-V（아크 파이브）

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-Ⅴ (read as "Arc Five") is a Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series, the fourth main spin-off series, which began airing in Japan on April 6, 2014, following the end of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. The series focuses on Yuya Sakaki and Zuzu Boyle. As with the previous spin-offs, it focuses on (and introduces) a new type of Summoning - this time, Pendulum Summoning, as well as Pendulum Monsters and the mechanic in general. There is also a manga adaptation. It was followed by Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS on May 10, 2017.

This series marks the only Yu-Gi-Oh! series to show all unique types of Summoning from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game (though at the time, both Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX showed the available Summoning types): Fusion Summoning (from Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX), Ritual Summoning (from Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX), Synchro Summoning (from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's), Xyz Summoning (from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL), and the newly introduced Pendulum Summon.

It has a slightly different story structure than any Yu-Gi-Oh! series that came before it. Rather than having a handful of characters to remain the focus throughout the entire show, only Yuya Sakaki and Zuzu Boyle maintains permanent "main character" status; there are many other major characters with a only a handful being in the spotlight at any given moment.

Story[edit]

The Japanese ARC-V logo.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V centers around Yuya Sakaki, as he tries to escape from harsh reality by smiling. But one Duel leads him to make a determination to confront the difficulties and he will get the power of infinite possibilities. The show's main theme is "Take a step forward with courage!!"

Yuya is a student at a preparatory school, learning to become an "entertainment Duelist", a type of professional Duelist.[3][4]

The story is set in Paradise City on the coast of Japan. Leo Corporation is run by its president Declan Akaba. Thanks to the spread of the company's "Solid Vision with mass," "Action Duels" are born in Paradise City and has reached worldwide popularity. Children look up to star-level Pro Duelists, and they learn Summoning and Duel styles at various large and small cram schools, including the You Show Duel School that Yuya attends and the largest of such schools, Leo Institute of Dueling (LID).[1]

One day, Yuya ends up fighting an exhibition match with the current champion of Pro Duel world…[1]

During the Duel, Yuya's pendant begins to glow, giving him access to a never-before-seen type of Summoning called Pendulum Summoning. This causes the Leo Corporation to take an interest in Yuya. Meanwhile, a dark Duelist is trying to take down the Leo Corporation, and he looks exactly like Yuya!

In order to become a pro and follow in his father's footsteps, Yuya must win four matches in a row to qualify for the Arc League Championship. During this challenge, Yuya grows as a Duelist and eventually gains entry into the tournament. As the tournament is about to begin, Declan wonders whether Yuya has the strength to protect the Standard Dimension from his father, Leo Akaba.

The Paradise City Championship is underway, and Yuya's first match is against his rival: Sylvio. When they last met, Sylvio promised that he would master Pendulum Summoning before their next Duel and defeat Yuya. Meanwhile, Sora's opponent is none other than Shay, a highly dangerous Duelist from another dimension who has entered the tournament at Declan's request.

Ultimately, Yuya and his friends have found themselves in an ever-growing mystery surrounding the major Dueling schools in the city... and beyond.[5][6]

Differences in adaptations[edit]

General edits[edit]

General edits involve changes to dialog, names and scoring.

  • Some names are Americanized.
    • The names of terms returning from previous series' are changed to be the same as in previous dubs, while in the Japanese they are often different (for example, Public Security Bureau and Neo Domino City became Security and the City in the Japanese between Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and ARC-V, while they are Sector Security and New Domino City in both 5D's and ARC-V in the dub).
  • All of the music in the dub is rescored.
  • The Pendulum Zone activation and point gauge sound effects are replaced with different ones than the originals.
  • Dialog is added in some scenes to remove silence.
  • Frederick's shivers are changed to various terms; in later episodes a common term is "goosepickle".
  • Chojiro Tokumatsu's mantra of "Enjoy Dueling" is changed to "Be a Hero".
  • The flashbacks of Heartland's invasion are tinged purple.

Paint edits[edit]

Paint edits involve changes to the footage. General edits that involves digital paint goes under this category.

An example of a paint edit in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, where Nico Smiley's moustache is edited. Left is the Japanese version and right is the dubbed version.
  • Nico Smiley's mustache was lengthened to avoid resemblance to Adolf Hitler.
  • The "LDS" (Leo Duel School) sign is changed to "LID" (Leo Institute of Dueling) in order to avoid associations to the Mormon Church of Latter Day Saints (also abreviated LDS).
  • The Duelist's names in the beginning of all Duels are removed and the LP counter is enlarged.
  • Skirts and socks on female characters are lengthened to avoid any sexual implications.
  • Most of the Japanese text is digitally painted out.
  • When a Duelist is holding a card(s) in a way that it appears like they're flipping the bird, their hand is redrawn. A common example of this is when a Duelist is about to place a Pendulum Monster(s) in their Pendulum Zone(s) while holding Pendulum Monster(s).
  • In advertisements, every card shown is digitally painted out.
  • Some monsters are edited to correspond with their TCG artworks.

Deleted scenes[edit]

Deleted scenes involve cutting footage.

  • The explanation of Action Duels before the beginning of an opening is cut.
  • Some close up shots showing lots of text are cut. An example is a close up shot of a Poster with text or a close up shot of the contents of a book.
  • Some scenes that are too violent to be shown are cut, edited or shortened.
  • The scenes of the implements of the "Frightfur" monsters bursting from their bodies were initially cut from the dub, but were later left in.
