Design

Appearance

Ryujiro is a skinny young man with small eyes, glasses, and green hair. Unlike his brother and the rest of the gang, Ryujiro dresses more smartly in a grey jacket, pants, and a white shirt with a loose red tie.

Personality

Ryujiro is cowardly and deceitful, claiming that he likes to avoid violence, but lying to his brother to get revenge on Theodore for simply intimidating him. He is also shown to be somewhat envious of Playmaker's popularity.

Biography

History

Ryujiro had previously competed in a National Duel tournament.

Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS

Ryujiro, his older brother, Kotaro and three others harassed a student in a shopping district. They were stopped by Theodore Hamilton. Ryujiro urged his brother to just beat Theodore up, but Kotaro cited that he had dangerous eyes and the group fled. Later, Ryujiro spoke about LINK VRAINS and Playmaker to one of the other gang members. He was interrogated by Theodore, who was looking for information on those topics. Kotaro intervened and Theodore left. Kotaro vowed to make Theodore pay, but Ryujiro's interaction with Theodore had given him an idea.

The group kidnapped Kiku Kamishirakawa, and sent her friend, Hana to get Theodore. When Theodore appeared, they released Kiku after Theodore agreed to Duel Ryujiro, with the wager that Theodore would become their minion if he lost. Ryujiro built up a strong defense, and though his monsters were destroyed by Theodore, he avoided taking damage and proceeded to Summon "Despair from the Dark". Theodore was reduced to a shivering mess as Ryujiro destroyed his monsters, but suddenly gained a burst of resolve due to the encouragements of his A.I. and revived his "Phoenix Gearfried", then combined it with "Tempest Fire" to destroy "Despair from the Dark" and defeat Ryujiro.

Deck

Ryujiro plays a Zombie Deck, focused on continually Summoning and reviving his monsters to generate card advantage.
