History Characters / ZeroHourARCVDragonBoys

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: When going up against Yuto for the first time, the former fully expected that Yuri would use the Ancient Gear monsters like the Academia Forces, but was blindsided when Yuri uses Predaplants instead.

* AmazonChaser: Although it's platonic on Yuri's [[VillainousAromanticAsexual end]], the rest of them have this attraction for their respective Siren Girl.

** Despite being VillainousAromanticAsexual and not above teasing others of their love life, Yuri shows an intellectual understanding of Polyamory-relationships.

* VillainousAromanticAsexual: He's the TokenEvilTeammate of the Dragon Boys, but compared to his counterparts' romantic relationships with their respective Siren Girl, his own close relationship with Serena is entirely platonic and Yuri is more [[BloodKnight interested in dueling]] and would often [[ChallengeSeeker seek]] out [[WorthyOpponent Worthy Opponents]] to test his strength. It's even lampshaded by him in chapter 22.

* CasualKink: It is strongly implied that all the boys have it to a degree, specifically a praise Kink, (Although nothing has been explored yet) it is very clear that the Yu-boys would happily melt if their significant others gave them praise and especially if they called them a variation of "Good Boy". Yugo is very obvious in this, while Yuto has confessed to Ruri that he loved it when she called him a good boy in his drunken haze in chapter 20. Yuya's face turned red and was clearly turned on when Yuzu called him that in chapter 23. While Yuri does not have any clear sexial urges, it's clear he likes to be praised by Ray and Zarc.

Yugo is very obvious in this, while Yuto has confessed to Ruri that he loved it when she called him a good boy in his drunken haze in chapter "Sweet Heart". Yuya's face turned red and was clearly turned on when Yuzu called him that in chapter 23. While Yuri does not have any clear sexial urges, it's clear he likes to be praised by Ray and Zarc.

* SingleTargetSexuality: The Siren Girls are the only people that the Dragon Boys would feel strong romantic/platonic feelings for, and vice-versa. [[PlayingWithATrope Although they are capable of loving other people]].

** During Rin's duel with Frank, it was Yugo's voice that first began to snap Rin out of her trance, his voice and their connection is basically like a prince kissing the sleeping princess to wake her up, something Randsborg himself highlights.

** In chapter 20, Yuto was pretty much drunk after his training session with Zarc and revealed to Ruri in a FreudianSlip of how much he wants both her and Shun.

* PerpetualFrowner: He rarely smiles after the invasion of Heartland.

** He really has a low opinion of idiotic Duelists who would automatically attack his own monsters while overlooking the fact that it could and would be a ''bad idea'', regardless of who they are. In fact, Yuto finds this comment quite surprising as the thought of ''any'' Academia soldier would admit that one of their own is an idiot, which would subtly imply that an "[[FantasticSlur Xyz scum]]" is better.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: He judges people based on their strengths and weaknesses, and doesn't care about their race, cultural upbringing, gender, or sexual orientation.

** You wouldn't think someone as arrogant as Yuri would have such high standards as a Duelist, never mind an [[EqualOpportunityEvil egalitarian outlook of it regardless of the Duelists' gender, race, or even sexuality]]. This sort of mentality is a far cry from the standard Academia student body, especially the Obelisk Blues, who all possessed a fascist view on their superiority, wouldn't think twice before attacking their opponents' monsters at a given opportunity, and looked down on foreign Extra Deck Summonings other than Fusion.

** Despite being VillainousAromanticAsexual and not above teasing others of their love life, Yuri shows an intellectual understanding of Polyamory relationships.

* AmazonChaser: If there is one thing we know for sure is that Rin is no meek girl, in fact, she would easily dropkick and punch anyone who annoys her, her anger is terrifying and Yugo absolutely is head over heels in love with her and admires that power, in fact, it turns him on when he sees Rin demonstrating how strong she is, physically, mentally and mystically.
* ActOfTrueLove: His deep love and devotion to Rin are what drives most of his actions to become stronger, along with gaining new upgrades to his deck.

* ActofTrueLove:

* Equal-OpportunityEvil:

** Despite being VillainousAromanticAsexual and not above teasing others of their love life, Yuri shows an intellectual understanding of polygamy relationships.

* DarkIsEvil: His Predaplants and Starving Venom Fusion Dragon are all DARK Attribute, and are the only one of his other counterparts to be a CardCarryingVillain to them potentially becoming an AntiVillain.

* GenderBlenderName: Played With. While Yuri is a masculine name in Russian, in Japanese, it's typically a feminine name. And if you know what's good for you, you ''better'' not mention it out loud to the guy as a taunt or insult.

* {{Expy}}: In the Synchro Dimension side of the fic, He fills the role of Leo from ''5Ds''. Having a close familial relationship with a girl his age (plus the romance and the fact that he and Rin aren't blood-related) along with a sibling-like relationship with Akiza, and having a deck made up of toy-theme monsters and a Level 7 Synchro Monster as his ace.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Whenever he and Ruri confide with each other in private, their intimate moments can be seen as a '''PG-13''' SexForSolace.

* PowerLossDepression: {{Inverted|Trope}}. When he finally accepts Zarc's power, he becomes much more lively than his usual stoic demeanor.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: Of the LoserSonOfLoserDad variety. Due to the disappearance of Yusho at the time where he was scheduled for an important Duel against Strong Ishijima, everyone derides the man as a coward, leading to Yuya being scorn as such from his relation to Yusho 3 years prior to the story. However, this starts to become {{downplayed|Trope}} after his victory against Strong Ishijima and exposure of the Pendulum Monsters, and eventually a [[{{subverted|Trope}} subversion]].

* SissyVillain: Yuri tends to dress in a rather flashy outfit, speaks very politely, has flamboyant mannerisms, is a CaringGardener (which is traditionally seen as an unmasculine hobby), and has a GenderBlenderName[[note]]In Japan, Yuri means "Lily" and it's typically a feminine name[[/note]].

* CasualKink: Implied to have this as he really isn't bothered by Rin's constant sexual aggression.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In chapter 16, Yugo bit Rin's shoulder, which according to Zarc it was a natural thing for a dragon to claim his loved ones in such a way. Rin let it happen, placing her full trust in Yugo, and in response, she let out a huge burst of ice spikes as she gasped in pleasure. Needless to say that that moment was as close to a show of PG-13 sex.

* HotBlooded: He tends to listen to his heart rather than use his head at times.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Unlike canon, the Dragon Boys won't be merged together into Zarc, and neither exist as Yuya Sasaki from the ending of the anime.

** He fares much better against Reiji during the finale of the fic's "LDS vs You Show" Arc, bringing out Brave-Eyes Pendulum Monster.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Since Joey and his friends are in this fanfic, they keep him from becoming too much of a StepfordSmiler.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: His Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon shows up much earlier than canon.

* BullyMagnet: Due to his father's disappearance, Yuya gets a lot of flak for being the "son of a coward", leading to many people harassing him over the years.

** Furthermore, he's also capable of Fusion Summoning during their duel, with Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon and Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon in the mix.

* AmazonChaser: Although it's platonic on Yuri's [[VillainousAsexualAromantic end]], the rest of them have this attraction for their respective Siren Girl.

* AntiHero: It would be generous to say that all of them is this due to their connection to Zarc, but besides Yuri, who's more of a CardCarryingVillain.

* LightIsGood: His Duel Runner uniform is white, and is overall a kind person.
