Yūya Sakaki (榊さかき 遊ゆう矢や Sakaki Yūya) is the main protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. He is a born-entertainer who attends the You Show Duel School to advance his Dueling expertise and become an "Entertainment Duelist", a specific type of professional Duelist, similar to his father. He has three known dimensional counterparts: Yūto (from the X...
Yūya appears as an average height boy for his age. He has hair that is maroon, following with green on top of it. He wears dark-ish yellow goggles that a blue star on the right-eyed lens and wears it on his head that he uses to cover his eyes when he's sad or about to get tears in his eyes. His eyes are crimson. He wears a neck belt. He has a blue pendant around his neck. He wears a jacket which is his Maiami Second Junior High School uniform, that he wears it as a cape. He wears pants of his choice that are green with two pockets on both right and left sides. He also wears a brown belt. He wears pink shoes. He wears red wristbands, one on each wrist.
When entering in the Awakened state, Yūya's eyes begin to glow a luminous red, while his hair becomes frizzled and sticks up on end. When the darkness inside Yūya takes over the Awakening, he continuously emits a dark aura from his body.
On occasion, Yūya is rendered in CG. This usually happens when he is riding "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" or any of its evolved forms. His hair and attire's colour scheme is based on the Summoning method that he specializes in, in this case Pendulum Summoning; half green and half orange/red.
During Riding Duels, Yūya wears a Riding Dueling suit. He wears a predominantly red jumpsuit with a secondary white trim and orange markings, and with padded knees. The chest of his jumpsuit is grey. Yūya wears a jacket with the same color scheme as his jumpsuit that flares out above the hips, and black-backed white gloves. His helmet is visorless; Yūya's own googles serve as a substitute.
Yūya is a fun-loving and energetic boy. He is very theatrical and loves to entertain people, traits he has inherited from his father, Yūshō Sakaki. He idolized and loved his father very much and wishes to become an entertainer like him one day. After his father disappeared during an important match, Yūya was left heartbroken and traumatized by the event because his beloved father was labeled as a "coward". To cope with his father's disappearance and beat people to insulting him about his father, Yūya acts like a fool, leaving his friends and other people baffled by Yūya's behavior and believes he doesn't take things seriously. Because his father was so famous, his friends and other people seems to have high expectations of Yūya to live up to his father's reputation while simultaneously quick to bring up Yūshō's "cowardice" or scold him for his clownish actions. Only after Yūya defeated Strong Ishijima, he finally dropped his foolish acts.
Yūya has shown to have a good deal less self confidence. As such, when he finds himself cornered or something happens that breaks his confidence, he tends to pull his goggles down so nobody can see his eyes. At times like these, he ends up recalling lessons from his father, or relies on support from his friends or mother to regain his confidence and continue the Duel.
Initially, Yūya was more emotionally vulnerable regarding Pendulum Summoning, believing it to be a power granted only to him. When both Reiji and ShingoPendulum Summoned, he was speechless, but coaching from Shūzōand the lessons he learned during his Qualification Duels have turned him into a Duelist that enjoys the challenge set before, which also nurtured his self-confidence.
Yūya believes that Dueling is for the purpose of making people happy, and he is disgusted when it is used for hurting people and much worse, for war. He will protest any duel conducted with violence, hatred and anger. However, confrontations with his dimensional counterparts and learning about the four dimensions as well as the crisis between them start making him doubt his ability to entertain people with Dueling. As Yūya becomes more involved in the Interdimensional War, added with repeated incidents of triggering The Awakening and continuous problems that he faced one to another, Yūya progressively finds it more difficult to entertain with dueling, becoming more vulnerable to emotional breakdown, easily depressed and even hostile and impatient. While Yūya's desire to protect his friends became stronger, this unfortunately also made Yūya without himself realizing started to slowly losing his track of his way of Dueling, focusing on becoming stronger to defeat his enemies rather than for the sake of bringing happiness to all people.
Yūya's rematch against Jack made him learned how to convey his belief through Duel, and realized that he is able to grow thanks to his friends and everyone he encountered and Dueled, and he could never bring happiness to people alone. From this point onwards, Yūya regained his philosophy and determination to fulfil his goal by trying to connect with his opponent through Duel with the Dueling he believes in regardless who his opponent is. Due to this growth, Yūya can be charismatic in his own way, mainly due to his kindness, generosity, determination, and philosophy as Entertainment Duelist that both directly and indirectly influence others. His strong attachment and loyalty to those he cares for and staying true to his belief also managed to turn a lot of people into friends and admirers. While some of his enemies may sees this trait as naivety, some also respect his determination as a fellow Duelist.
When Awakened, Yūya is collected and cold, speaking no more than necessary. However, when witnessing Yūto's memories of the Academia's attack on the Xyz Dimension and seeing the Knight of Duels being turned into cards by the Obelisk Force in front of him, Yūto's hatred towards the Fusion Dimension spills into Yūya, turning him even more aggressive and ruthless. This is worsened when the darkness inside him consumed him, making him desire to harm his enemies to the point he enjoys it, as shown when he smiled maliciously at the Obelisk Force.
The syllable "Yū" (遊ゆう) in this character's name comes from the "Yū" in the Rōmaji of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" (遊ゆう戯ぎ王おう Yūgiō, lit. King of Game) and past 4 main characters' first or last names of the series (Note: There are other ways to write "Yūya" in Japanese). Sakaki (榊), also known as Cleyera japonica, means "Divine Tree" in Japanese.
Yūya's name may also derived from Yūya, a powerful Egyptian courtier during the eighteenth dynasty of Ancient Egypt, father of Tiye, the Great Royal Wife of Amenhotep III. When the latter died, his son ruled the Ancient Egypt as Amenhotep IV, but later changed his royal name for Akhenaten, whose namesake may have inspired Akhenaden, the father of Priest Seto and uncle of Atem.
Background
In his childhood, Yūya sat by himself crying when his father, Yūshō Sakaki came in to cheer him up. He gave him advice on laughing whenever he felt down and used Yūya's pendant to explain that if Yūya was happy, the happiness would swing back at him. At another unknown point in his childhood, he lost his Pendant in a park, and cried when he was unable to find it. His father learned of the incident and reaffirmed the statement that Yūya should look up and laugh whenever he felt like crying. Yūya did so, locating his Pendant hanging from a tree branch. At a later point, before the duel against Strong Ishijima, Yūya got worried since his father's opponent is strong, but Yūshō assured his son that he will do his best, so Yūya must do his best to at Junior Youth Championship. Yūya said that he wanted to be a Duelist just like his father when he grew up, and his father said Yūya's got it a bit wrong. He said instead of being like him, Yūya should always be himself. Yūya and his mother, Yōko Sakaki, watched the final Duel between Yūshō and Strong Ishijima. When Yūshō did not show up, Yūya ran to the bottom of the stands, saying that his father would appear, and challenged Ishijima to a Duel until his father arrived. Yōko pulled Yūya from the stands as he continued to protest. As the resulted, he was bullied for these remarks, constantly being called as "a son of a coward", even being challenged to a Duel directly by Gen Ankokuji, one of the disciples of the Gongenzaka Dōjō who admired Ishijima and wanted to represent him, but he was protected by Gongenzaka. For the past few years before the story, Yūya trained hard his Dueling skill and asked for help to Gongenzaka's Dōjō to find him opponents for Duel so he can fulfill the requirements to enter the Junior Youth Championship.
•Agility - As an Action Duelist, Yūya is very acrobatic and fit, having participated in physical training regimes at You Show Duel School. He can effortlessly jumped from a high place to another while still maintaining his balances.
•Communication with Duel Monsters - Being the reincarnation of Zarc, Yūya also inherited Zarc's ability to communicate with his monsters to a certain degree, though not as strong as Zarc since Yuya could only vaguely sensing them. This is demonstrated whenever Yūya saw a glimpse of his monsters before summoning them, which mostly resulted with Yūya summoning and gaining new special summoned monsters. The communication between them guided Yūya to find the right strategy to continuously defeat his opponent. After becoming one with his counterparts, Yūya is able to fully use this ability, able to converse normally with the dragons and understand perfectly what they are feeling. This allowed Yūya to coordinate his movements with them to gain advantage on the field.
•Synchronization - Being in possession of one of Four Heavenly Dragons and related with their status as Dimensional counterparts, Yūya shows the ability to link his mind with his dimensional counterparts. In this state the personalities of both are mixed and each adopt some mannerisms of the other, speaking and moving in the same manner. This also influenced their Dueling styles, mirroring each other. When the Duel ends, the one whom Yūya synchronized with doesn't realise of the synchronisation, but Yūya able to remember, though since it happened through his mind, Yūya initially believed that it was only a dream.
•The Awakening - Like his dimensional counterparts, Yūya has the ability to enter the Awakened state. This state is triggered unconsciously, with Yūya having no recollection of what happened while entering the state. Unlike Yūto and Yūgo, the state was initially triggered not because Yūya being influenced by his Dragon (though when fighting Makoto and Ken he nearly enter it due to "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon"), but rather it was initiated by Yūto who is residing in his body. After witnessing Yūto's memories of the day the tragedy befell his homeland, Heartland, Yūya's main trigger for his awakening is whenever he's remembering Yūto's memory or anything similar happened that reminds him of the tragedy. After he was aware of the existence of the two souls within him, Yūya gained a degree of control over his awakened state by sheer force of will. There are multiple stages of Yūya's Awakening:
•First Stage: Yūya's irises barely glows and unlike the other stages, Yūya is not filled with anger or contempt or any negative thoughts and quite in control of himself while also becoming more serious and confident. This stage is only shown once during his Duel against Strong Ishijima. As he entered this state, he also gained the ability to Pendulum Summon. Like most stages, however, Yūya has no recollection of what he has done while in this state.
•Second Stage: Yūya becomes collected and cold, speaking no more than necessary. Additionally, his hair frizzled and his voice deeper, both his iris and pupils glow and mute any natural shine to them. Yūya's Duelling becomes more straightforward in attacking his opponent. When under influence by the darkness, dark aura also surrounds his body for a moment before it dissipated.
Yūya uses a "Entermate" Deck, which consists of animals dressed in carnival attire, referencing his passion for entertaining people. Though most of his monsters have relatively low ATK, they have various useful effects to fit a variety of situations such as allowing multiple attacks, ATK/DEF manipulation, etc. Yūya also uses Trap Cards in the same manner, though they commonly require monsters on his side to be destroyed to work properly, taking advantage of the fact that Pendulum Monsters are sent to the Extra Deck when destroyed. Due to the way he Duels, Yūya doesn't have many Magic Cards in his own deck, opting to use Action Cards he finds on the field to circumvent this. In fact, Yūya claims that one of his specialties in Action Duels is his ability in finding Action Cards. During the Duel against the Strong Ishijima, Yūya gained access to the Pendulum Summon mechanic to Summon multiple monsters at once. When Pendulum Summoning, he typically uses a combo with "Magician" Pendulum Monsters to Pendulum Summon monsters of a wide array of levels.
He also Summons high mobility monsters to help him grab Action Cards, primarily his "Entermate Discover Hippo", "Entermate Whip Viper" and "Odd-Eyes" monsters. Prior to obtaining his Pendulum Monsters, his ace monster appeared to be "Odd-Eyes Dragon", but it was transformed into "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon".
In Episode 8, Yūya's information shows he has dueled 46 times prior the qualification matches for Maiami Championship.Unknown
•Yūya's hair is made a joke out of, because it's green on the top and red color on the bottom, making it look like a tomato on Yūya.
•In the first episode of Abridged Series, this was used as reference, to joke as Yūya says "Year of the Tomato", referring the series is about him. Also, in the Fruit Salad of Friendship, he is the Tomato.
•In the Abridged Series, Ishijima called Yūya a vegetable freak until corrected by him that tomato is a fruit. This also shows that Yūya doesn't deny nor feeling offended by the similarity.
•In Yu-Gi-Oh! collaboration drink menu, the drink that was based on Yūya is a tomato juice.
•Yūya has a habit of putting his goggles over his eyes when he is either upset or embarrassed, something he did since he was young.
•When Yūya Duels, he announces "Ladies and Gentlemen!" when he is about to perform a finishing move. This was actually a catchphrase created impromptu.
