!!Zael Callhourn
Another student at New Grange High. She initially duels Yugami over the fate of twenty cards she'd won that afternoon and after a humbling defeat settles into a more friendly rivalry with Yugami. At first she uses a Warrior-centric Beatdown deck with Goyo Guardian as her ace, but in Chapter 10 she adopts an OriginalGeneration Archetype, the Beo-Wolves, which have an effect whereby negating their effects lets her Special Summon another one.

* NoSell: Pulls a pretty nasty one off to [[StarterVillain Myr]] in Chapter 10.

Characters that appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! Alter Destiny.
----
!!Yugami Tousuka
TheHero of our story and new protagonist of the story. He's an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent...except he's been having PropheticDreams lately. Yugami uses the ''Overload'' Archetype; an OriginalGeneration archetype that specialises in risky, but rewarding plays involving either discarding cards or paying life points to activate powerful effects or summon powerful monsters.
* CastFromHitpoints: Some of his most powerful cards come with Life Point costs to either summon them or use their effects.
* DifficultButAwesome: How his Overload Archetype handles; He has to either pay some hefty life point tolls (for anime rules at least)or discard his cards to activate either powerful effects or special summon powerful monsters.
* TheHero: What he is in the story.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: What he is.
* OriginalGeneration: Not just him, but most of his cards too.
!!Rain
Yugami's childhood friend and fellow student. She uses a Celtic Guardian/Mystical Elf deck that makes heavy usage of Xyz Summoning.
* BilingualBonus: Her cards. While the Mystical Elf and Celtic Guard archetypes are treated as separate archetypes in the TCG/OCG, the japanese named for Celtic Guard monsters is Elf Swordsman.
* BoringButPractical: Her approach to duelling; steadily wearing down her opponent or setting up for a finishing blow.
* OriginalGeneration: A lot of her cards are an expansion on the real Celtic Guard and Mystical Elf lines.
* PowerCreep: Weaponised in her deck; starting Level/Rank 4, she steadily ranks up her Xyz Monsters to wear her opponent down.
!!Karyu
Remember those strange dreams Yugami has? Karyu is one of the figures in those dreams. Karyu uses the real world Ancient Gear Archetype, which focusses on simply beating his opponents down with overwhelmingly powerful monsters...but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a few other tricks...
* TheAce: Karyu is set up to be this, being the first person to defeat Yugami in the series...and its portrayed as pretty easily. He also handily defeated Jet a few chapters earlier.
* {{Badass}}: He's good enough to hand [[TheHero Yugami]] his first defeat in the series.
