'''Jaden Yuki''', known as '''Judai Yuki''' in the Japanese version, is the main protagonist in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' and the reincarnation of [[The Supreme King]]. At the end of the third season, he fused his soul with [[Yubel (character)|Yubel]], his favorite card from childhood, with the use of [[Super Polymerization]] to purge her from the influence of [[The Light of Destruction]]. He is headstrong, optimistic, fun loving, and a talented Duelist who loves Dueling more than anything.
He attended [[Duel Academy]] and was put in the [[Slifer Red]] Dorm, the dorm with the least privileges, due to his poor grades in the entrance exam. As time goes on, he becomes the academy's best Duelist and saves the world and the academy from many threats such as the evil [[Kagemaru]], The Light of Destruction possessed [[Sartorius]], the deranged and manipulative [[Yubel (character)|Yubel]], and finally the malicious spirit [[Nightshroud]]. After three years, he graduates from Duel Academy and pursues his own journey to improve himself.
===Appearance===
[[File:Judai Linework.jpg|thumbnail|180px|left|Jaden's design incorporates multiple layers of clothing and a wide range of expressions. Depicted here is the [[Duelist]] in full [[Slifer Red]] regalia from front, side, and rear alongside views of his head from different angles.]]
Jaden's character design was overseen by [[Kenichi Hara]]. Jaden's usual outfit consists of the standard [[Slifer Red]] uniform, unbuttoned, and a black shirt underneath. In the fourth season four, the normal Slifer Red white pants were replaced by dark jeans. A [[Main Deck|Deck]] box is strapped above his waistline, largely hidden beneath the lower rim of his jacket. In the first episode he is seen wearing a high school uniform similar to the one worn by [[Yugi Muto]], though colored black instead of blue. He also had wore a KaibaCorp Duel Disk on his left arm for his entrance exam Duel. His brown eyes are positioned directly beneath the bangs of the layer closest to his face. He After joining Duel Academy, he carries an [[Academia Disk|Academy-issued Duel Disk]] on his left arm.

In the fourth season, Jaden is seen with his new look, but he is still easy to identify from the past seasons. He comes back with longer hair, a longer, darker Slifer Red jacket, darker pants and, since he fused his soul with Yubel in the third season, occasionally manifesting its power to protect himself in the form of his eyes glowing the same bichromatic scheme Yubel's did. His eyes have also been redesigned. His Duel Disk is now fully customized, has with red outlines on itrepresenting his dorm, though otherwise it looks the same (although the difference is very noticeable).
===Voice/Mannerisms===
===Personality===
Jaden is friendly, optimistic, kind, funny, and very passionate about Duelingdueling. Jaden loves Dueling and believes that all problems can ultimately be solved through it. He keeps going no matter how hard things get or how hopeless it seems, with a few exceptions (though it doesn't take much encouragement for him to start fighting again), although he does sometimes doubt himself. He always shows respect towards his opponents, with a few exceptions, even complimenting them during a Duel.
Jaden shows little interest in areas outside of Dueling, which extends to his classes. When he chooses to attend them, he generally falls asleep. Despite his low grades, he is still regarded as one of Duel Academy's best Duelists. However, this attitude eventually shows itself as one of his greatest flaws, and causes him to be targeted by [[Mr. Stein]]. He shows a lack of knowledge in areas outside of Dueling, even showing in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 015|one instance]] that is unaware of what the term "fiancee" means, and forgetting that the holographic water will not drown him in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 038|another]].
