'''Syrus Truesdale''', known in Japan as '''Sho Marufuji''' (丸藤翔, ''Marufuji Shō''), is a former [[Slifer Red]], then [[Ra Yellow]], and now [[Obelisk Blue]] (briefly in season 3, but permanently in season 4) student as well as [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]]'s best friend. A decent Duelist, although hindered by a great deal of self-doubt, though this mainly stems from his brother Zane's treatment of him, Syrus' journey towards strengthening himself provides sharp contrast to the protagonist Jaden's active determination.
