A Psychic Duelist is an individual who displays certain powers. The exact details or full extent of such power has yet to be explained. The concept appears in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

Powers

The known abilities of Psychic Duelists include materializing Duel Monsters using cards and causing Life Points damage inflicted on the opponent to become real pain, even outside of a duel. Akiza Izinski and Sayer have displayed such abilities. Causing Life Points damage to become real pain, is involuntary on Akiza's behalf and is fueled by her hatred and violent nature.

Psychic duelists are not known to have traditional "psychic" powers (like telekinesis).

Thus it is because of their powers to inflict real damage in duel that their dueling has been classified into a different kind. It is known that whenever a Psychic duelist is fighting, they called it a Psychic Duel.

Luna is believed to be a psychic duelist. She is capable of communicating with Duel Monster spirits. This power is at its hype while she duels. As a result, she tires easily after dueling. Playing Duel Monsters has caused her to be transported to the Duel Monster Spirits World on two occasions.

Espa Roba claimed to be a psychic duelist. His brothers would hide and look at his opponents hands and tell Roba what was in their hands through a communicator. He would counter his opponents strategys by doing this. It would also scare his opponents. Once Joey Wheeler defeated Espa, he decided to always duel fairly.

Influence

Society has been known to reject Psychic Duelists. Akiza Izinski was even neglected by her own parents due to the nature of her powers, which had been causing legitimate injury. Akiza caused many accidents while dueling, easily turning society against her. As a result, she took on the Persona of the Black Rose.

Sayer founded the Arcadia Movement. He explained his motive as creating a refuge for Psychic Duelists to protect them from the world and use their powers to get revenge on everyone for neglecting them, although he is believed to abuse the socially neglected. The Arcadia Movement is rumored to conduct suspicious unconventional experiments, which Akiza painfully discovers that she is among the list of experimented subjects after Sayer's supposed death and her second duel with Yusei.

Psychic Duel

Psychic Dueling is a dangerous type of dueling within Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

A Psychic Duel, however, is quite unique. It only occurs whenever a individual who possesses special abilities or powers known as a "Psychic Duelist" is involved. From what has been seen on the series, these individuals are not only able to summon and materialize their monsters and effects for real in the duel, but they are also able to inflict actual damage to their opponent.

So far, only Akiza Izinski and Sayer have been seen as being able to exhibit this ability with the effects of their Duel Monsters cards. Toby was also a psychic duelist, but he was never shown using his powers before his death.

However, it has been shown that this individuals can actually choose whether or not to inflict real damage to their opponents, which is clearly noticeable during Akiza´s Turbo Duel against Trudge.

Like in a "Shadow Duel", a Psychic duel is also capable of causing damage and destruction to wherever the Duel is taking place.
