Yuya Sakaki is the main protagonist in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V manga. He is a mysterious Entertainment Duelist nicknamed "Phantom" (ファントム Fantomu) and shares a body with Yuto. Yuya is able to communicate mentally with Yuto and take control of their body without Yuto's consent. According to Reiji Akaba, he is the "Factor of Destiny".

Biography

Canon

Yuya is a mysterious Entertainment Duelist nicknamed "Phantom" that the Leo Corporation is after due to him hacking the Solid Vision System. Yuya first appeared when he took over control of his body from Yuto, Summoning "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon" to entertain a crying child who had wanted to see a dragon monster made from Solid Vision against Yuto's protests, claiming that they would manage it somehow. This accidentally allowed Leo Corporation to detect them, with Reiji Akaba sending a special squad to pursuit them, believing that the identity of "Phantom", Yuya Sakaki, was the "factor of destiny". Yuto chided Yuya for his selfish act as they tried to escape from the Leo Corporation squads.[1] When Yuto was pushed around the corner by Sawatari's skills, Yuya decided to take over Yuto's body and Duel Sawatari in his place, leaving everyone speechless at the transformation.[2]

Non-canon

Yuya is shown facing Reiji Akaba in an Action Duel in the special manga chapter. He is 14 years old and aims to be a Pro Duelist. Yuya uses the same strategies as his anime counterpart, using his "Entermate" monsters to explore the field, like riding on "Entermate Silver Claw", for example. He is also able to perform Pendulum Summons in the manga, although how he got his Pendulum Monsters is not explained. Yuya keeps his anime counterpart's opinion regarding Action Duels: he believes that Duels are entertainment, and should be "happy, fun and silly".[3]
