"Performapal", known as "Entermate" (ＥＭ（エンタメイト） Entameito) in the OCG and English manga, is an archetype used by Yuya Sakaki in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime and manga. They debuted in Duelist Alliance.

Design

Appearance

The archetype is primarily designed around circus animals, donning apparel such as top hats and polkadot bow ties. Yuya uses the archetype's diversity in appearance to traverse around the Duel Fields, using "Whip Viper" to scale high buildings and "Bugondola" to travel across water.

Etymology

Both the English and Japanese names are simple portmanteaus: "Performapal" is a portmanteau of "performance" and "pal", while "Entermate" is a portmanteau of "entertainment" and "mate".

Playing style

"Performapal" monsters possess varied effects, many of them manipulating ATK and DEF. Since "Performapal" is currently the archetype with the most Pendulum Monsters, it has high probability of becoming a Pendulum Summon-centered archetype.
