==Design==
[[File:FullShingoSawatari.png|thumb|left|100px|Full body view of Silvio.]]
===Appearance===
Silvio has [[File:FullSilvioSawatari.png|thumb|left|100px|Full body view of Sylvio.]]Sylvio is a handsome young boy with short light brown and yellow blonde hair, styled in layers, and grayish blue eyes. He generally wears the [[Maiami Second Middle Paradise Prep School]] uniform, with his LDS [[Leo Institute of Dueling|LID]] badge pinned to the collar. He briefly wears an outfit in homage to ''Mabuta no Haha'' before his Duel with [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]] in the [[Arc League Championship]]; a teal cape with thin white stripes, a wide-brimmed straw hat, a grey tunic over ash-white leggings, and black elbow-length arm warmers and socks that he wears sandals over. Later, Sylvio wears a [[Turbo Duel]]ing outfit during the [[Friendship Cup]], a yellow jumpsuit with a grey chest portion, white pads, and a teal lining, in addition to a blue helmet with a green visor.
===Personality===
Silvio Sylvio is initially shown to have an inflated ego as a "Perfect [[Duelist]]", being spoiledselfish, stubborn, pompous, and incredibly egotistical similar to [[Chazz Princeton]] from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|GX]] Series'' anime. As such he enjoys being praised by his followers crew and showing off in front of everyone, although he doesn't take kindly to anyone who interrupts him. His defeat at [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]]'s hands caused him to develop a grudge against him, but also oddly caused him to develop some of his mannerisms.<ref name="ep7" /> Silvio Sylvio also often makes made gestures relating to darts when he feels felt they suit suited the situation.
He shows a degree of cunning, pretending to be friends with Yuya in order to steal his "[[Timegazer Magician (anime)|Timegazer Magician]]" and "[[Stargazer Magician (anime)|Stargazer Magician]]". After he managed to steal them, he then imprisoned Yuya's friends to force him into a [[Duel]]. Throughout the Duel, he continuously mentioned how he was now the chosen one, able to [[Pendulum Summon]]. Silvio is Similarly, he claimed his Dueling skills to be perfect when he Dueled Yuto, and constantly looked down on Yuto during their Duel. Sylvio was also shown to be extremely materialistic, valuing only rare cards. This is shown in his Decks which are initially comprised of only [[Parallel Rare]] cards. Furthermore he seems seemed to be quite shallow with cards, judging them solely for their [[ATK ]] or [[DEF ]] values and their Level regardless of what effect they may have.<ref name="ep3"/>
Despite this, not only did he develop some of Yuya's mannerisms after his first defeat at his hands, but during their second Duel, he also developed a similar attitude and Dueling style, enjoying entertaining the crowd and encouraging Yuya to do the same. The primary difference in Sylvio's motivation for entertainment is that he wants to hear the audience cheering him. He accepted his second loss to Yuya gracefully and told him that he'd Duel him any time he wanted.<ref name="ep32"/> He retains this outlook during the [[Friendship Cup]] with his Duel with [[Yugo]]. He later showed sincere sympathy for Yuya when he was depressed after [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]]'s disappearance. Sylvio detests a Duel where his opponents do not play to their fullest, criticizing such opponents and warning others to play seriously beforehand. Immediately after Pendulum Summoning for the first time, he became fascinated by the newly discovered Summon type. He quickly called it "the best" and went great distances to obtain [[Pendulum Monster]]s. At one point he even claimed he was the first Duelist to Pendulum Summon<ref name="ep54">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|54|ref}}</ref> and bragged about Pendulum to [[Security]] while in the [[Synchro Dimension]].<ref name="ep56">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|56|ref}}</ref> He has a tendency to use his [[Curio Sawatari|father]] in an attempt to gain an advantage in certain situations. This was shown as he threatened to use have his father fire Security when they were arresting him as well as attempting to use his influence to get food at the [[Facility (ARC-V)|Facility]] instead of having to pay the costs of a powerful card, but he failed both times due to his apparent obliviousness of the fact his father has no authority in the Synchro Dimension. ===Voice/Mannerisms===In the Japanese version, Sylvio tends to add a large number of English phrases to his speech and speaks rather brashly and rudely, sometimes even addressing himself as "ore-sama" which is a very boastful and egotistical personal pronoun in Japanese. In the English dub, his occasional spouts of English are changed to French and his overall manner is far more posh and polite but still arrogant. In that version, Sylvio has a slight British accent.
==Biography==
===Pre-Maiami Arc League Championship===Silvio Sylvio was contacted by [[DeclanAkaba]] to obtain [[Yuya Sakaki]]'s [[Pendulum Monster]]s, no matter the means, while he threw darts at a picture of Yuya.<ref name="ep2">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|2|ref}}</ref> [[File:Silvio stealing Yuya's Pendulum Monsters.png|right|thumb|250px|Sylvio steals [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]]'s [[Pendulum Monster]]s.]] After class one day, he approached Yuya and his friends, throwing three sucker-tipped darts at Yuya before introducing himself, stating that he was a fan of Yuya and his [[Pendulum Summon]]ing. Yuya was going to show his friends a Pendulum Summon at his own [[You Show Duel School|Duel School]], but Sylvio offered the use of the Center Duel Field at [[Leo Institute of Dueling|LID]]. [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]] wasn't happy about it, but Yuya's other friends all agreed, and Sylvio showed them around the school before he took them to the Duel Field. There Yuya and his friends were met by Sylvio's crew of friends: [[Ootomo]], [[Yamabe]], and [[Kakimoto]]. Sylvio asked to show his crew Yuya's Pendulum Monsters, and Yuya reluctantly showed him his "[[Stargazer Magician (anime)|Stargazer Magician]]" and "[[Timegazer Magician (anime)|Timegazer Magician]]." Sylvio promptly swiped them and showed them to his crew, before announcing his intention to keep them. He offered Yuya the chance to Duel to get them back, much to the anger of [[Claude]], who was monitoring Sylvio for Declan. Declan allowed Sylvio to Duel Yuya. Sylvio tossed Yuya some of his [[common]] cards to replace his Magicians, calling them trash cards. To ensure that Yuya would Duel, Sylvio had Yuya's friends placed on top of one of the towers in "[[Prison Tower of Darkville]]," endangering them with the prospect of their perch being damaged by [[Action Card|Action]] [[Trap Card]]s. On the first [[turn]], Sylvio drew "Timegazer Magician," but was instructed by Declan to keep it in his hand instead of playing it right away. Instead, he Summoned "[[Lightning Hoverboard]]" and pursued Yuya, destroying his "[[Performapal Whip Snake (anime)|Performapal Whip Snake]]" after it was weakened by Action Trap Cards. Yuya continued to play defensively, but to no avail; on Sylvio's next turn he drew a card that allowed him to [[add a card|add]] "Stargazer Magician" to his hand and he proceeded to Pendulum Summon his "[[Dart]]" monsters with Declan's assistance. Sylvio was amazed at the Summon, declaring himself a chosen one.<ref name="ep3" /> [[File:Arc V Silvio and Declan.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio Pendulum Summons with help from [[Declan Akaba|Declan]].]]He put Yuya on the ropes with his "Dart" monsters, though Yuya proceeded to create an [[attack]] lock with the card he'd taken from Sylvio - "[[Block Spider (anime)|Block Spider]]." Sylvio nullified the lock on his next turn by using "[[Cricket Close]]" to [[negate]] "Block Spider" as well as the effects of his own Pendulum Monsters. In response, Yuya increased the [[DEF]] of "Block Spider" to the point that only Sylvio's "[[Ultimate Dart Striker]]" was able to land a hit. Yuya then reclaimed his Pendulum Monsters with "[[Empty Fishing]]" since their effects had been negated and proceeded to Pendulum Summon the next turn himself, using his Pendulum Monsters to allow "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" to destroy all of Sylvio's monsters, while Sylvio frantically tried to dodge the shockwaves. Yuya then finished Sylvio off with Sylvio's own "trash card," "Block Spider." Despite his loss Sylvio ordered his crew to take the Pendulum Monsters by force but [[Sora Perse]] used a lollipop stick to knock out Sylvio's friends, then Sylvio himself.<ref name="ep4">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|4|ref}}</ref> After his defeat, he acquired new cards that he tested out against one of his crew. They praised him, calling the cards strong, but Sylvio corrected them, claiming that it was him that was strong and stating that he had all the qualities of a "Perfect Duelist." After he used a few expressions similar to those that Yuya had used his friends wondered if Yuya had rubbed off on Sylvio, but he denied it and vowed he would crush Yuya. He was later seen hanging out with his crew in an abandoned warehouse, waiting for his friends to bring him his favorite food, and chastised his friends for being late. [[File:Arc V Silvio choking on his food.png|thumb|right|250px|Sylvio chokes on his food when Zuzu arrives to stop him.]]Zuzu, having overheard Sylvio's crew talking about Sylvio's wish to defeat Yuya, decided to try to stop him and barged into the warehouse, surprising him to the point that he choked on his food. Zuzu demanded that he Duel her, continuously denying Sylvio his attempts to speak. When he protested about this she angrily called him a coward and a second-rate Duelist, infuriating Sylvio. Zuzu continued to insult Sylvio, and he furiously agreed to the Duel. Before they could, the door to the warehouse opened, revealing [[Yuto|a mysterious masked figure]], who activated a strange Duel Disk. Sylvio Dueled him instead, mockingly dubbing him "Mr. Mystery" ("Knight" in the Japanese version) for coming to Zuzu's rescue. "Mr. Mystery" placed his entire hand face-down on his first turn and Sylvio seized his chance to bring out "[[Mobius the Frost Monarch (anime)|Mobius the Frost Monarch]]" then [[Tribute]] it to Summon "[[Mobius the Mega Monarch (anime)|Mobius the Mega Monarch]]," destroying all five of "Mr. Mystery's" [[Spell Card]]s.<ref name="ep7" /> [[File:Arc V Silvio's jacket pierced.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio's jacket pierced by "[[Phantom Knights' Spear (anime)|Phantom Knights' Spear]]".]]Despite this, "Mr. Mystery" activated his three "[[The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil (anime)|The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil]]" [[Spell Card]]s from the [[Graveyard]]," Special Summoning them as monsters to defend against Sylvio's attack. On his next turn, "Mr. Mystery" used the remaining cards to [[Xyz Summon]], to the surprise of Sylvio, "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]." The two exchanged insults about how the other failed to live up to their expectations, before "Mr. Mystery" used his [[Xyz Monster]]'s effect to halve the ATK of "Mobius" twice, adding the stolen ATK to "Dark Rebellion" in addition, and reduced Sylvio to 100 [[Life Points]] with a single attack. The force of the impact sent Sylvio flying, despite the match not being an [[Action Duel]]. "Mr. Mystery" questioned Sylvio about LID's connection to [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]], holding up an LID badge. Sylvio replied that the badge was worn by all LID students and that he knew nothing of Duel Academy. "Mr. Mystery" turned to leave, but Sylvio refused, pointing out that their Duel was still on. He played "[[Ice Rage]]" in an attempt to defeat "Mr. Mystery," but "Mr. Mystery" negated the Trap using "[[Phantom Knights' Spear (anime)|Phantom Knights' Spear]]" and inflicted enough damage to win without even turning his back. The spear pierced Sylvio's jacket, pinning him to the wall in shock. "Mr. Mystery" then removed his mask to reveal that he resembled Yuya to the point that Sylvio and his friends believed that he ''was'' Yuya. Sylvio passed out from the stress of the Duel and his crew carried him away in fear.<ref name="ep7" /> Sylvio exaggerated his injuries and was subsequently hospitalized. [[Curio Sawatari|His father]] vowed revenge on Yuya, and was deciding on legal action, but they were visited by [[Henrietta Akaba]], who instead suggested she let them handle it to prevent his father from attracting attention during the upcoming election. Sylvio's crew later confronted Yuya and accused him of attacking Sylvio, claiming that their friend was in great pain - in reality, Sylvio was happily chowing down on melons in bed.<ref name="ep8">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|8|ref}}</ref> He was later discharged from hospital and he approached Yuya and Zuzu during lunch at school, offering Zuzu his handkerchief and telling Yuya that he shouldn't eat so messily in front of a lady. He joked that he'd heard that Yuya had attacked someone else, but he knew Yuya wasn't responsible, believing him incapable of defeating [[Marco (ARC-V)|Professor Marco]], even with Yuya's "cowardly" Pendulum Summoning (a fact that he hadn't told his father, given that they hadn't seen each other since Sylvio had been discharged). He justified this statement by pointing out that only Yuya had them (not knowing that Declan also had Pendulum Cards) and revealed that LID was attempting to mass-produce Pendulum Monsters, which he would use to get his revenge. He told Yuya that he'd see him at the Junior Arc League Championship and then casually walked away, as that was all he'd come to say.<ref name="ep15">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|15|ref}}</ref> ===Arc League Championship===[[File:Arc V Silvio dressed in Mabuta no Haha.png|thumb|right|250px|Sylvio cosplays as "Mabuta no Haha" prior to his match with Yuya.]]At the Championship, he accompanied the Course representatives and [[Shay Obsidian]]. His first Duel was to be against Yuya the next day.<ref name="ep27">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|27|ref}}</ref> Sylvio entered the arena the next day dressed in homage to ''Mabuta no Haha'', proclaiming himself the world's greatest [[Duelist]], and calling himself "Neo New Sawatari." Sylvio claimed that [[Pendulum Summon]]ing would be Yuya's downfall, and pointed out his (unfounded and quickly disproven) grudges against Yuya. They began their Duel, with Sylvio unveiling his new "[[Yosenju]]" [[Monster Card|monsters]]. Yuya Pendulum Summoned next turn and fought back, but Sylvio used his "Yosenju" cards to deny him [[Action Card]]s and add "Yosenju" Pendulum Monsters from his Deck to his hand and Pendulum Summoned "[[Mayosenju Daibak (anime)|Mayosenju Daibak]]." He then [[activate]]d his "[[Dizzying Winds of Yosen Village (anime)|Dizzying Winds of Yosen Village]]" to [[send]] the cards bounced to Yuya's hand back to his Deck instead, and cleared his [[field]] when the self-returning effects of his "Yosenju" monsters triggered his "[[Yosen Whirlwind (anime)|Yosen Whirlwind]]", returning the cards to Yuya's hand and thus to his Deck. Despite his pinch, Yuya simply laughed and [[Set]] his remaining cards, and then turned to find more Action Cards.<ref name="ep31">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|31|ref}}</ref> [[File:Arc V Silvio and Yosenju's brothers.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio and his "[[Yosenju]]" [[Monster Card|monsters]].]]Sylvio brought out his "Yosenju" legion of monsters again the next turn and wiped Yuya's field clean, but this triggered the effect of Yuya's "[[Amnesia]]" card, which caused Sylvio's own monsters to become subject to his deadly combo. Sylvio was impressed, but attempted to end the Duel that turn anyway. Yuya was able to use a "[[Big Escape]]" Action Card to end the [[Battle Phase]], leaving Sylvio's field and hand almost bare. When Yuya didn't Pendulum Summon the next turn and the crowd chanted for it, Sylvio admitted that he was enjoying the Duel and delivered what the crowd wanted, Pendulum Summoning two "Yosenju" and using them as Tributes to Summon "Daibak." [[File:Yuya and Sawatari.png|thumb|right|250px|Sylvio graciously accepting his loss to [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]].]]Yuya was able to reduce his damage, and after the crowd began cheering for a Pendulum Summon again, Sylvio encouraged Yuya to live up to their expectations, keeping "Daibak" on the field since he'd Tribute Summoned it. Yuya was able to replenish his hand and bring out "Odd-Eyes," again, then damage Sylvio, who kept "Daibak" on the field by destroying "[[Yosenju Shinchu L (anime)|Yosenju Shinchu L]]" Much to Sylvio's shock, Yuya [[Fusion Summon]]ed during the [[Battle Phase]] and brought out "[[Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]," which also had 3000 ATK, and both Sylvio and Yuya leapt for Action Cards. Sylvio attempted to inflict damage to Yuya since his monster had been destroyed and would have won the Duel had Yuya not lucked out and gotten "[[Miracle]]," which prevented his own monster's destruction and allowed the effect of "Beast-Eyes" to go through and wipe Sylvio out. Though he refused Yuya's hand when getting up, Sylvio took the loss gracefully and offered to Duel Yuya any time. Sylvio was visibly happy that he had made the crowd cheer for him, and both of them waved to the cheering crowd.<ref name="ep32">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|32|ref}}</ref> [[File:Silvio electrocuted.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio electrocuted upon paying the 2000 [[LP]] penalty.]]During the [[Battle Royal]], after the video feed for all of the areas were cut, Sylvio took advantage of his father's influence to barge into Declan's control room and ask what was going on because he wanted to see how far in the tournament Yuya would get. Declan allowed him to stay and offered him a chance to take place in a revival match.<ref name="ep47">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|47|ref}}</ref> Declan explained the situation regarding [[Celina]], [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]] and the invading [[Obelisk Force]] to Sylvio and sent him to assist Celina, Shay, and [[Moon Shadow]]. He arrived in time to use an Action Card to save Moon Shadow. He explained why he was there, boasting that Declan had told him everything, but was then shocked by the intrusion penalty of 2000 LP—a detail that Declan had ''not'' warned him about. Despite this, he claimed that he'd show them why he was "LID's strongest."<ref name="ep48">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|48|ref}}</ref> [[File:Arc V Silvio using his new Pendulum Cards.png|thumb|250px|right|Sylvio using his new "[[Abyss Actor]]" [[Pendulum Monster]]s.]]Showing off his new "[[Abyss Actor]]" Pendulum Deck, he managed to destroy one of the [[Obelisk Force]]'s "[[Triple Ancient Gear Hunting Hound]]s" without triggering their combo, though he inadvertently allowed the Obelisk Force to bring out "[[Ultimate Ancient Gear Hunting Hound]]" and halve their Life Points. [[Gong Strong]] then joined the Duel, using his card effects to transfer Sylvio's Pendulum Cards to Shay's hand, which allowed Shay to win the Duel with "[[Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon (anime)|Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon]]". Sylvio celebrated jovially, and later saw the climax of Yuya's inconclusive Duel with [[Sora Perse]]. After the expiration of the [[Battle Royal]], Sylvio commented to Declan that he'd chased out the Duel Academy soldiers as he'd been asked, suggesting that this made him one of the [[Lancers]] now. When Gong asked him about them, Sylvio explained that the Battle Royal had been a selection exam for the Lancers.<ref name="ep49">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|49|ref}}</ref> ===Friendship Cup===When [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]] asked [[Declan Akaba|Declan]] why they'd been fighting as opposed to the Youth and Pro teams, Sylvio explained that the Youth team were wiped out save for [[Kev Ravenwood|one]], which was why he'd been sent to help. When [[Celina]] revealed herself to be from [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]], Sylvio believed her to be a spy and questioned her until [[Moon Shadow]] stepped in to fend him off. Declan then reassured them that Celina was no spy. During Yuya's Duel with Declan, Sylvio filled [[Dennis McField|Dennis]] in on Declan's Dueling and he expressed sympathy for Yuya's loss of [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]].<ref name="ep50">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|50|ref}}</ref> After Declan's victory and being informed that they would cross dimensions, Sylvio entered the arena with the [[Lancers]], cheerfully waving to the crowd. Hearing negative comments about his father's influence, as the crowd believed Sylvio to have reentered the tournament despite his first-round loss, Sylvio snatched [[Nico Smiley]]'s microphone and silenced the crowd by explaining that Declan had allowed him to take place in a revival match to become a Lancer.<ref name="ep52">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|52|ref}}</ref> The next day he arrived at [[Leo Corporation]] to prepare to depart with the other Lancers and dubbed them the "Sylvio Sawatari" generation, due to his claim that he pioneered the use of Pendulum Summoning. [[Gong Strong|Gong]] complained about this bold statement but Yuya let it pass. Declan revealed that they would be going to recruit allies in the [[Synchro Dimension]] and revealed that he had upgraded their [[Duel Disk]]s to generate an Action Field and travel between dimensions. Sylvio joined the Lancers in traveling across the dimensional boundary.<ref name="ep53">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Unaware as to what the Sector Security members were referring to and incensed by their rudeness, Sylvio rashly challenged them to a Duel despite Yuya's protests.<ref name="ep55">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|55|ref}}</ref> He was swiftly taken out with a [[One Turn Kill]] and apprehended, and when Yuya Dueled another Sector Security officer, he bragged about [[Action Card]]s and [[Pendulum Summon]]ing, inadvertently alerting the officers to the function of Action Cards. Although Celina defeated her opponent, Yuya was put in a tough spot and more Sector Security officers arrived. Sylvio managed to get free and face-off against them, but fortunately they were saved by [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|a Synchro Dimension native]] and his gang.<ref name="ep56"/> [[File:Arc V Silvio, Selena and Yuya.png|thumb|250px|right|Sylvio, Yuya, [[Celina]], and [[Riley Akaba|Riley]] are invited by [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]] to stay at his place.]]The Synchro user, [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]], invited them to stay at his place until events calmed down, and Sylvio introduced himself as an undefeated Duelist with Yuya as his disciple. Sylvio revealed through his boasts that they were from a different dimension to a confused Crow. [[Frank (ARC-V)|Frank]] and [[Tarren]], two of the orphans that Crow looked after, later returned with stolen food and revealed that they'd seen Yuya and Celina at a café, who Yuya and Celina deduced to be Zuzu and someone named [[Yugo]]. Crow went out to look for them.<ref name="ep57">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|57|ref}}</ref> Frank and Tarren explained more of [[New Domino City (ARC-V)|New Domino City]]'s history, namely that of [[Turbo Duel]]s, which Sylvio found interesting. Crow returned empty-handed, and when Celina decided to go and look for news herself, Sylvio decided to go with her, claiming that he was bored of sitting around and pointing out that they still needed to find Declan.<ref name="ep58">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|58|ref}}</ref> Sylvio took notice of the posters of [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack Atlas]] around New Domino, and they later learned that he was the strongest Duelist in the city after Celina defeated a boy in a Duel. Sylvio noted that Celina seemed to be focusing on Dueling more than finding Zuzu, and Celina replied that she was also looking for strong Duelists. They decided to return to Crow's place and found Crow and Yuya Dueling. Unbeknownst to them, they had led Sector Security to Crow's place and they were quickly arrested.<ref name="ep59">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Although he toyed with the idea of paying with cards to get food, he later joined his fellow Lancers in refusing to give them to the prisoner boss [[Chojiro Tokumatsu]] in exchange for preferential treatment. Sylvio watched the Duel between Yuya and Chojiro, including the resurgence of Chojiro's previous entertainment persona.<ref name="ep60">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chojiro suggested an Entertainment Duel Tournament and Sylvio eagerly joined, turning the Duel into an Action Duel. He was disappointed when Yuya participated halfheartedly, asking him where the Yuya was that had performed the Legendary Dueltaining with him. The Duel was soon revealed to have been used by Crow, [[Shinji Weber]], and [[Damon Lopez]] as a distraction for an escape attempt, and Sylvio rescued them from a large Sector Security guard by attacking him with a pan, though this earned him a retaliatory blow. When Chojiro's lackeys rained down rare cards to distract the guards, Sylvio collected a stack himself before escaping with Chojiro and Yuya.<ref name="ep62">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Sylvio suggested bribing them with rare cards, but Chojiro explained that this wouldn't work on the Stomptroopers Dueling them one-on-three proved difficult for Sylvio, and he fled with Yuya and Chojiro. Trapped on top of a tall tower, Sylvio refused to jump until Chojiro grabbed him and forced him to jump, leaving Yuya to save them. The group were eventually rescued by Gong and Shay, and they linked up with the other escaped Lancers and Commons to swim from the Facility. Unfortunately, [[Jean Michel Roget]], the Director of Sector Security, had anticipated them and captured Damon's contact, [[Tony Simmons]]. Envoys of the [[High Council]] stepped in to bring the Lancers and the Commons to them, where Declan revealed himself and that he had informed the Council of the Interdimensional War. The Lancers were entered into the Friendship Cup and Yuya was chosen to Duel Jack Atlas in an exhibition match before the start of the tournament. Before being separated from Yuya, Sylvio urged him to show his strength to the Synchro Dimension.<ref name="ep63">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|63|ref}}</ref> Sylvio watched the Duels on the first day of the tournament, furious that he wasn't being picked but somewhat pacified by the exquisite dinner that he received.

ARC-V|120|ref}}</ref> Sylvio helped Gong up and commented that Gong had held out because he knew Jack was coming, but Gong clarified that he hadn't known that would happen. Jack explained that he had been sent by Crow's kids and he asked where Crow was. Sylvio tearfully, revealed Crow's card explaining that Crow had tried to save Tsukikagehim. Sylvio was amazed when Jack was able to deal heavy damage to the Battle Beast, explaining and he wondered why it had been so high; Gong reminded him of the effect of "[[Thumbs Down]]". To his and Gong's surprise, [[Sanders]] revealed that the Professor had ordered him to eliminate Yuya. This caused Yuya to become lost in thought, and they called out to him as Sanders'attacked. Sylvio criticized Sanders' teachings when he told his students to follow the rules despite the fact that he had set five of them up to be sealed into cards. He told Yuya not to get lost now and take on Crow and Moon's enemy. Sylvio was heresurprised when the Battle Beast used the effect of Sanders' "[[Gladiator Beast Tamer Editor (anime)|Gladiator Beast Tamer Editor]]" to destroy itself in order to defeat Sanders.<ref name="ep121">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|121|ref}}</ref> [[File:Jack Helps Gong Up.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylvio and Jack help Gong to stand.]]To Sylvio's surprise, Yuya claimed that the Battle Beast didn't really want to fight and he explained the similarities between him and Battle Beast. Sylvio realized that the Battle Beast had become more aggressive when Crow drove him out of the jungle. The students declared their belief that Sanders should be sealed into a card for losing, and Sylvio wondered if people's lives mattered to them. Sylvio was surprised that Jack protected Yuya during the Duel, but he was angry that Jack was sacrificing himself as he looked at Crow's card. Jack used the effect of "[[Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend]]" to destroy all cards on the field, and Sylvio reminded him that he had destroyed Yuya's monsters too. Sylvio wondered what Yuya was planning after he [[Special Summon]]ed [[Level 1]] [[Pendulum Monster]]s, and he was then shocked hit by a paintball from "[[Performapal Shieldrummer]]". When Yuya went for a direct attack, Sylvio was worried because of the of "Great Fortress". As Yuya's monsters engaged in a paintball fight with the "[[Gladiator Beast]]s" via his "[[Performapal Pendulum Art & Clean]]", Sanders thought that Yuya would lose, and Sylvio asked him if he hadn't learnt anything. Indeed, Yuya defeated the Battle Beast, and reassured him that he would save the people that the Battle Beast had sealed into cards, prompting Sylvio to look at Crow's card. He told Yuya that they would catch up to him as he and Jack helped Gong up.<ref name="ep122">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|122|ref}}</ref> ===Duel Academy===Sylvio and [[Gong Strong|Gong]] arrived in the intrusion penalty [[City (Fusion Dimension)|City]] and found [[Sora Perse|Sora]] and [[Aster Phoenix (ARC-V)|Aster]] injured. As they checked on them, they learned that [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]], [[Yuto]], [[Yugo]] and [[Yuri]] had become [[Supreme King Z-ARC (character)|Supreme King Z-ARC]], and that Aster and Sora had attempted to regain Yuya's heart through Dueling. Sylvio watched over Sora and Aster while Gong ran to join the Duel and heard a [[Phoenix Whirlwind|engine roaring]], heralding the arrive of [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack]]. To his shock, Z-ARC defeated his current opponents, [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]] and [[Kite Tenjo (ARC-V)|Kite]]. Sylvio told Gong and Jack that he was counting on them, lending them his perseverance.<ref name="ep137">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|137|ref}}</ref> [[File:Crow and Sawatari Join The Duel.png|thumb|250px|Sylvio and a revived Crow enter the Duel against Z-ARC.]]Despite this, Sylvio was furious that he was being left out of an important Duel, and he blamed [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]] for destroying his [[Duel Disk]]. He explained to Sora how Crow had saved him from the [[Battle Beast]], and that he was sure their thoughts would reach Yuya. [[Z-ARC]] brought out "[[Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing (anime)|Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing]]", angering Sylvio even further as he believed that he could reach Yugo with his Dueltaining if his Duel Disk worked. Z-ARC used the effect of "Clear Wing" [[equip]]ped with "[[Supreme Presence]]" to destroy all of Gong's monsters, and Sylvio begged Crow to protect him. Gong and Jack survived through the effect of 2000 LP"[[Superheavy Samurai Warchief Heavystrong]]", and Sylvio was overjoyed and asked Crow if he saw how Gong protected "[[Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend]]". He was surprised when [[New Domino City (ARC-V)|New Domino City]] materialized in the Fusion Dimension, but he declared his belief that Jack could cross a detail materializing highway to reach Yuya. Gong was defeated, and the shockwave caused Sylvio to lose Crow's card. As Sylvio checked on Gong, Gong explained that Declan that Z-ARC had reacted to the word Dueltaining. Gong gave Sylvio his Duel Disk and [[Yuya's pendant]], and to Sylvio'nots surprised joy, Crow arrived, freed from his card. Sylvio and Crow joined the Duel as Z-ARC defeated Jack, both receiving intrusion penalties. Sylvio put Yuya's pendant on and he announced that he would decide the Duel.<ref name="ep138">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|138|ref}}</ref> [[File:Crow and Sylvio in a roof-0.png|thumb|250px|left|Sylvio and Crow are defeated by Z-ARC.]]Sylvio told Z-ARC if carded person could rise, even Z-ARC won' warned t able to revive and want to bring Yuya back. However, he got angry when Crow went before him and was surprised when Crow negated the effect of "[[Supreme King Gate Zero (anime)|Supreme King Gate Zero]]" and dealt damage to Z-ARC. He made fun of Z-ARC aboutin denial of losing and took his turn using Yuya's catchphrase in an attempt to remind what real [[Dueltainer|Dueltainment]] is. He [[Pendulum Summon]]ed "[[Abyss Actor - Superstar (anime)|Abyss Actor - Superstar]]", "[[Abyss Actor - Wild Hope (anime)|Wild Hope]]", and "[[Abyss Actor - Leading Lady (anime)|Leading Lady]]" while Z-ARC Summoned "[[Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes (anime)|Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes]]" during his turn due to its own effect. Sylvio told Yuya he did it properly and used the effect of "Superstar" to add "[[Abyss Script - Rise of the Abyss King (anime)|Abyss Script - Rise of the Abyss King]]" to his hand but Z-ARC used the effect of "[[Supreme King Z-ARC (anime)|Supreme King Z-ARC]]" to destroy it due to being added to his hand outside the [[Draw Phase]]. Sylvio told Z-ARC he was so scared and used "[[Abyss Script - Abysstainment (anime)|Abyss Script - Abysstainment]]" to [[Set]] "Rise of the Abyss King" by [[Tributing]] "Leading Lady". He then activates it to destroy "Z-ARC" and "Odd-Eyes" equal to the number of "[[Abyss Actor]]" monsters he controls. When Z-ARC tried to use "[[Supreme Faceoff]]", Sylvio used the second effect of "Abyss Entertainment" to prevent him from activating it while he controls a [[Level 7 Monster Cards|Level 7]] "Abyss Actor" monster. Despite thisBut, Z-ARC used the effect of "Odd-Eyes" to protect [[Pendulum Monster]]s from being destroyed. Sylvio told Yuya the "Yuya Sakaki" he knew wasn't a coward to be so defensive and that he claimed put braved danger to pull off a great escape. He asked Yuya where that courage come from and told him if he keeps forgetting, he'll keep reminding him. Sylvio used "Abyss Entertainment" again by Tributing "Wild Hope" and setting "Abyss King" again, which he activates to target "Z-ARC". However, "Z-ARC" was unaffected due to [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]], and [[Xyz Monster]]s being in the [[graveyard]] or [[banish]]ed, and cannot be destroyed. He was surprised to see [[Leo Akaba]] intruding the Duel and send his "[[Master Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Ruler]]" to the Graveyard. Z-ARC defeated Leo before hecould play any more cards, and then forced "Superstar" and Crow'd show s "[[Assault Blackwing - Chidori the Rain Sprinkling (anime)|Assault Blackwing - Chidori the Rain Sprinkling]]" to attack "Z-ARC", doubling the damage with the effect of "Odd-Eyes" and defeating Sylvio and Crow as well. They fell from "Crossover", landing hard on the roof of a building, leaving only [[Declan Akaba|Declan]] facing Z-ARC.<ref name="ep139">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|139|ref}}</ref> He told Declan to pull Yuya's soul out of Z-ARC and threw Yuya's pendant to him. He and Crow were pleased when Declan was also able to damage Z-ARC. Sylvio was surprised when he thought "Z-ARC" had killed Declan, but relieved that [[Moon Shadow]] had returned and saved Declan. He was pleased when [[Ray Akaba|Ray]] [[Four Nature Cards|turned]] all of Z-ARC's monsters into [[Normal Monster]]s with their effects negated. When Yuya re-took control from Z-ARC and revived "Supreme King Z-ARC", Sylvio worried that Yuya wasn't fully in control.<ref name="ep140">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|140|ref}}</ref> Following Z-ARC's defeat and the rebirth of the [[Standard Dimension]] into the '''"Pendulum Dimension"''', Sylvio lost his memories of [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]] and the [[Lancers]] adventures. He received a invitation from Declan for the [[Arc League Championship|Junior Arc League Championship]] and met Yuya and Gong at [[Leo Institute of Dueling]]. They learned from Declan that they would Duel in a [[Battle Royal]] first. Upon "[[Quartet of Quandry]]" [[Activate|activating]], Sylvio wondered where was the fourth Duelist and was surprised when Moon Shadow arrived. He then vowed to win the Duel, bringing out "[[Abyss Actor - Curtain Raiser (anime)|Abyss Actor - Curtain Raiser]]" and attacked "[[Performapal Hip Hippo (anime)|Performapal Hip Hippo]]" while using its effect to double its [[ATK]] during [[damage calculation]]. However, Yuya [[Evasion|dodged]] the attack and Sylvio sets a card. When Moon Shadow reminded them of the Arc League Championship, Sylvio's memories started to return and watched Yuya take damage from the effect of "[[Twilight Ninja Shingetsu]]". When Moon Shadow used the [[Pendulum Effect]] of "[[Twilight Ninja Kagen (anime)|Twilight Ninja Kagen]]" to copy "[[Twilight Ninja Jogen (anime)|Twilight Ninja Jogen]]'s" effect, Sylvio noted Yuya would survive and was having a poor endgame.<ref name="ep141">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|141|ref}}</ref> When Yuya used "[[Miracle]]" to protect himself, Sylvio used "[[Abyss Improv]]" to increase the [[battle damage]] by "Curtain Raiser's" ATK. However, Gong increased "[[Hippo Token]]'s" [[DEF]] with the effect of "[[Superheavy Samurai Helper (anime)|Superheavy Samurai Helper]]", causing Moon Shadow to receive the damage. When Yuya attacked "Curtain Raiser", Sylvio used its effect to double its ATK to lower the damage, but was still attacked directly by "Hip Hippo". He then Pendulum Summoned "Superstar" and "Curtain Raiser" from his [[Extra Deck]] and yelled out at Yuya to stop spacing out after he used "[[Dragon's Shadow Performance]]". He used the [[Pendulum Effect]] of "[[Abyss Actor - Funky Comedian (anime)|Abyss Actor - Funky Comedian]]" to increase "Superstar's" ATK by adding "Curtain Raiser" to his Extra Deck. He then used the effect of "Superstar" to search out and activate "[[Abyss Script - Shadow Spirit]]", attacking "Hip Hippo" and making its ATK equal to its DEF, but Yuya used "[[Encore]]" to copy the effect of "Evasion" from the Graveyard. Sylvio used "[[Abyss Entertainment]]" to allow "Superstar" to attack again, but Yuya used the second effect of "Dragon's Shadow Performance" to prevent "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" from being destroyed. When, [[Skip Boyle|Skip]] arrived at the stadium and told Yuya that Zuzu was gone, Sylvio regained his memories of her. To his shock, Gong gave up his [[LP]] to use the effect of "[[Superheavy Samurai Preparation]]" to weaken "Superstar" and defeated him with "Big Benkei".<ref name="ep142">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|142|ref}}</ref> To Sylvio's surprise, [[Henrietta Akaba|Henrietta]] revealed a baby Riley, and Sylvio wondered why Riley was a baby. He learned that the [[Four Nature Cards]] turned Riley back into a baby and lost his smile due to absorbing Z-ARC's soul to save Yuya. He also learned the reason for reenacting the Arc League Championship was to return Riley's smile and save the world through Yuya's Dueltaining. Sylvio doubted Riley's smile would save the world but was surprised when Yuya mentioned Z-ARC's soul being in some part of Riley. He also learned that Z-ARC will resurrect and the world will be at risk again if they don't do it. Sylvio was surprised when Gong summoned a [[Superheavy Samurai Steam Train King (anime)|new monster]] and rode it. He then ran out of the way before "Train King" could run over him.<ref name="ep143">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|143|ref}}</ref> He is later seen watching Yuya's Duel against Jack with Gong, [[Aura Sentia|Aura]] and the kids from [[You Show Duel School]]. Sylvio and Gong discussed how Jack countered Yuya's attack and summoned a [[Red Giant|new monster]].<ref name="ep146">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|146|ref}}</ref> He celebrated Yuya's victory, but he was surprised when Declan and Yuya ended up Dueling. Sylvio wondered why Yuya didn't Pendulum Summon "[[Performapal Duck Dealer]]"LDSbut was pleased when Yuya did so. He was amazed when Yuya made a comeback against Declan's strongest"[[D/D/D Doom King Armageddon (anime)]]s".Sylvio was surprised when Declan summoned "[[D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon (anime)|D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon]]", "[[D/D/D Super Doom King Bright Armageddon (anime)|D/D/D Super Doom King Bright Armageddon]]", and "[[D/D/D Super Doom King Dark Armageddon (anime)|D/D/D Super Doom King Dark Armageddon]]".<ref name="ep48ep147">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|48147|ref}}</ref> He was worried when Yuya took huge damage from the four dragons being destroyed. Sylvio was amazed when Yuya used the effect of "[[Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon]]" to destroy all of Declan's monsters. He then wondered why Yuya attacked "Darkness Armageddon" due to its ATK being higher than "Wing Dragon". Sylvio cheered Yuya on when he used the effects of "[[Odd-Eyes Xyzgate]]" and "[[Wonder Chance]]" to give "[[Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon]]" additional attacks. However, he was surprised when Declan survived the attacks and happy when Yuya was able to Pendulum Summon again. When Yuya and Declan were collecting [[Action Card]]s due to the effect of "[[Performapal Five-Rainbow Magician (anime)|Performapal Five-Rainbow Magician]]", Sylvio and Gong were surprised at how Declan was stealing Yuya's shine. They were also worried when Declan was catching up to Yuya and Sylvio was pleased that Yuya was able to get five first. He was pleased when Yuya won and was transported to the field by Ray to witness Zuzu's revival.<ref name="ep148">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|148|ref}}</ref> ==Relationships=====Declan Akaba===Sylvio is shown to greatly respect and admire [[Declan Akaba|Declan]]'s Dueling abilities as shown when he bragged about how he was well known for his multiple Summoning methods to [[Dennis McField|Dennis]]. Declan in return, is shown to have faith in Sylvio's abilities as shown by how he entrusted Sylvio with the task of taking [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]]'s [[Pendulum Monster]]s, had him test a "[[Yosenju]]" Pendulum Deck, and had him become a [[Lancers|Lancer]] to aid the others during the invasion by the [[Obelisk Force]]. Declan also taught Sylvio how to Pendulum Summon. It is implied they have some prior connection because there is no other reason given as to why Declan would choose him to steal Yuya's cards. ===Yuya Sakaki===At first, due to Sylvio stealing [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]]'s [[Pendulum Monster]]s as well as kidnapping his friends to force him to Duel in order to test them, Yuya immediately disliked him. Sylvio's defeat at Yuya's hands and losing the Pendulum cards caused Sylvio to form a bitter rivalry with him. However, things changed during their second Duel in which they began to develop a mutual understanding of each other's motivations and they both gained great respect for each other. After generously offering to Duel Yuya anytime the latter wanted, they buried the past and became friendly rivals. Although they can sometimes mildly annoy one another, they still appear to be concerned for each other in important scenarios such as when Yuya lost [[Zuzu Boyle|Zuzu]] and when Sylvio was defeated and captured by [[Security]]. Their common love for entertaining the crowd has also helped improve their relationship and has allowed them to work well together in [[Action Duel]]s. ===Crow Hogan===When [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow]] and his gang saved Sylvio and the other [[Lancers]] from [[Security]], Sylvio showed sincere respect and gratitude to Crow. While Crow found Sylvio's claims about the Lancers and [[Standard Dimension]] strange, he didn't seem to dislike Sylvio. After Sylvio defended Crow from a large Security guard which allowed Crow and his friends to escape, they seem to have gained respect for each other, giving each other a thumbs up. Despite being initially angry that Crow had sacrificed himself to save him, when Crow was sealed into a [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V card)|card]] by [[Battle Beast]] Sylvio grew extremely upset and immediately ran to save his card when Battle Beast was about to step on it, showing how much he cares for and respects Crow. Due to Crow's actions Sylvio came to recognize the importance of others sacrificing themselves for those they care about, and behaved more emotionally than usual. He was horrified when he lost the card, but overjoyed when Crow was freed from the card and returned to Duel Z-ARC with him. ===Gong Strong===While not getting along at first, Sylvio and Gong grew to be friends and allies as part of the Lancers and mutual friends of Yuya. They have been each other's most frequent tag-team partners in Duels. Gong later entrusted his Duel Disk and Yuya's pendant to Sylvio, believing that he could get through to Yuya. ===Yugo===[[Yugo]] and Sylvio were opponents in the [[Friendship Cup]]. They were friendly to each other and they complimented each other's Dueling skills. They left on friendly terms when Sylvio encouraged Yugo to answer the cheers of the crowd after their fiery Duel. ==Other appearances==<gallery>Shingo (Manga).png | [[Shingo Sawatari (manga)]]Sawatari (DY).png | [[Shingo Sawatari (DY)]]Sylvio-TFSP.png | [[Sylvio Sawatari (Tag Force)|Sylvio Sawatari (''Tag Force'')]]</gallery>

===Dart===Sylvio initially plays a '''"[[Dart]]" Deck'''. All the cards in this Deck (besides the "Magicians" he stole from [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]]) are [[Parallel Rare]].

===Yosenju===
Silvio Sylvio uses a '''"[[Yosenju]]" Deck''' during the [[Maiami Arc League Championship]]that includes [[Pendulum Monster]]s. Silvio Sylvio focuses a lot of his strategies on swarming the field with his "Yosenju" monsters to accumulate counters on his "[[Yosen Training Grounds (anime)|Yosen Training Grounds]]" which he uses to gather the necessary cards for his strategies. He also uses a lockdown comprised of "[[Mayosenju Daibak (anime)|Mayosenju Daibak]]", "[[Yosen Tornado Whirlwind (anime)|Yosen TornadoWhirlwind]]" and "[[Dizzying Winds of Yosen Realm Whirlwind Village (anime)|Dizzying Winds of Yosen Realm WhirlwindVillage]]", returning his opponent's cards to their Deck, putting them in a pinchand bypassing the ability of Pendulum Monsters to revive themselves.

It focuses on [[Pendulum Summon]]ing and is supported by the "[[Abyss Script]]" [[archetype]] of [[Spell Card]]s. During the third season, he also demonstrates a focus on restricting the opponent's [[Extra Deck]]. Like his previous "Yosenju" Deck, it is not composed of Parallel Rare cards. While Sylvio is never shown using any other Summoning methods with this Deck, he is shown to have a substantially sized-Extra Deck during his Duel with Yugo, implying he has access to others. {{Decklist|Abyss Actor Deck| pendulum monsters = * [[Abyss Actor - Curtain Raiser (anime)|Abyss Actor - Curtain Raiser]]* [[Abyss Actor - Evil Heel (anime)|Abyss Actor - Evil Heel]]* [[Abyss Actor - Extras (anime)|Abyss Actor - Extras]]* [[Abyss Actor - Funky Comedian (anime)|Abyss Actor - Funky Comedian]]* [[Abyss Actor - Leading Lady (anime)|Abyss Actor - Leading Lady]]* [[Abyss Actor - Sassy Rookie (anime)|Abyss Actor - Sassy Rookie]]* [[Abyss Actor - Superstar (anime)|Abyss Actor - Superstar]]* [[Abyss Actor - Wild Hope (anime)|Abyss Actor - Wild Hope]]| spells = * [[Abyss Actors' Costume Chest]]* [[Abyss Costume - Dwarf's Shield]]* [[Abyss Costume - Hero's Sword]]* [[Abyss Entertainment]]* [[Abyss Prop - Wild Wagon (anime)|Abyss Prop - Wild Wagon]]* [[Abyss Script - Abysstainment (anime)|Abyss Script - Abysstainment]]* [[Abyss Script - Fantasy Magic (anime)|Abyss Script - Fantasy Magic]]* [[Abyss Script - Fire Dragon's Lair (anime)|Abyss Script - Fire Dragon's Lair]]* [[Abyss Script - Opening Ceremony (anime)|Abyss Script - Opening Ceremony]]* [[Abyss Script - Rise of the Abyss King (anime)|Abyss Script - Rise of the Abyss King]]* [[Abyss Script - Shadow Spirit]]* [[Abyss Stage - Treasure Boat of the Lucky Seven]]| traps = * [[Abyss Actor's Injury]]* [[Abyss Improv]]

==Trivia==
* All of Sylvio's major wins on screen have been in Duels where he teamed up with other people.
* Sylvio has changed Decks more frequently than most characters in the franchise - only [[Chazz Princeton]] has changed Decks more than him. This behavior is typical of actual people who play Duel Monsters.
