History Fanfic / ArcPhantoms

** Yuzu asks her Persona to let Ruri use the teleportation powers to escape Academia. This leads to Ruri and Rin escaping Fusion and hiding out in Synchro, meaning they won't be infected with parasites and Yugo won't jump to Standard.

* DramaPreservingHandicap: Reiji can't do anything to stop Sylvio from pressing a lawsuit since Yuto's duel with Sylvio wasn't under LDS jurisdiction and he's currently swamped with lawsuits over his mishandling of the FalseAccusation he put on Yuya.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance:
** Alexis immediately appears in the prologue whereas she doesn't arrive till Season 3.
** Zarc appears in Chapter 4, which takes place during the aftermath of Episode 13. In the anime, Zarc appears in the endgame.

** Sylvio demands some Pendulums from You Show and a written apology for him to drop the lawsuit, specifically he wants ''Yuzu's'' new Pendulums.

** Instead of learning Fusion from Sora, Yuzu decides to first learn Xyz from Yuto.

* RageBreakingPoint: Obtaining these are the catalysts of getting a Persona.

* {{Crossover}}: One of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V'' and ''Persona 5'', but the addition of Taweret and Khonshu adds ''Series/MoonKnight2022'' to the mix.[[note]]The author notes reveal that Taweret ''has'' been in ''SMT'' games though.[[/note]]

* ExactWords: Yuya begins the story about how he got his Persona, but Alexis points out that ''Yuzu'' got hers first. Yuya then explains to learn how he got his Persona, one has to hear about Yuzu getting hers.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/47589718/chapters/119940484 Arc Phantoms]]'' is a ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'' and ''VideoGame/Persona5'' crossover fanfic written by Green Phantom Queen. Taking place after Yuto's duel with Sylvio in the warehouse, Yuya and his friends obtain the ability to use Personas which they use to change the fate of the Four Dimensions.

* BaitAndSwitch: With the focus on Yuya being the Joker of the group, readers assume he'll be the first to get his Persona. Instead, it's ''Yuzu'' who gets it before him, and Yuto got his even earlier.

* DirtyCoward: Masumi, Hokuto, and Yaiba love talking smack on how Yuya is a piece of shit. When Yoko dares them to do it in front of her face, they can only stammer and whimper in fear.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Reiji has little esteem for Yuya Sakaki, but even ''he'' starts worrying for Yuya's mental health when Yuya has a complete melt-down and ''rips off his face'' (aka removing his Persona mask) enough to draw blood in their duel. Masumi, Yaiba, Hokuto and even ''Himika'' also look horrified at having pushed Yuya to his limit.

* ForegoneConclusion: Up until Yuya is interrogated by Alexis, the reader can be assured that Yuto (who was killed then absorbed into Yuya in canon) is safe. The same can be said for the other Phantom Thieves who are most likely the other Dimensional Counterparts (sans Yuri).

* HowWeGotHere: The story starts with a heist in progress taking place at an opera performance in Academia, before Yuya is captured and tells his tale to Alexis.

* LighterAndSofter: Than ''Persona 5'' at the very least since there are less corrupt jerks to deal with.

* PointOfDivergence: The Persona drastically change the story to a great degree.

* PrecisionFStrike: Upon learning about Reiji asking Sylvio to cause the stunt with stealing his Pendulum monsters, Yuya shouts that Reiji is going to pay with his "F***ING LIFE!"

** Yuya: Completely ''snaps'' when he hears Hokuto and Yaiba bad mouthing his dad and Reiji's reprimanding of them is just to tell them to be quiet as it's a reminder of everything he has suffered for three years.
** Yuto: Being hounded by three Obelisk Force goons and wanting revenge against them. On a non-Persona noted, he snaps when Shadow Sora talks about all of the ways he wishes to torture him.

** The author admits that the code-name role call was based off of the opening of ''VideoGame/Sly3HonorAmongThieves''.

** Ame-no-uzume was based off of [[VideoGame/Bayonetta3 Baal Zebul]], even introducing herself with the same phrase Baal does.

** Yoko's dressing down of all of the laws Himika broke, ending it with the phrase "And the term, big fat lawsuit" was based off of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' episode, "Arts N' Crass".

** Yoko meets with Yuto and Shun at a soup kitchen she works in, meaning Yuto gets to see Yuzu and Yuya earlier than in canon. She also arrives in time to learn how Himika was threatening to buy out her husband's school, preparing to file a lawsuit in retaliation.

** Instead of learning Fusion from Sora, Yuzu decides to learn Xyz from Yuto.

** When Yuya finally lets loose at Reiji, he screams "I'M A HUMAN!!!" from the climatic scene of ''Film/TheElephantMan''.

* PointOfDivergence:

* EveryoneHasStandards: Reiji has little esteem for Yuya Sakaki, but even ''he'' starts worrying for Yuya's mental health when Yuya has a complete melt-down and ''rips off his face'' enough to draw blood in their duel.

** In the anime, Reiji vs Yuya ended in a draw because of Shun carding Professor Marco causing Reiji to cut the duel short. Because of Yoko threatening with legal action, Reiji has no choice but to let Yuya win the duel or else face [[MamaBear Mama Yoko's wrath on him.]]
** Instead of Fusion, Yuzu decides to learn Xyz from Yuto.

** Shadow Sora's palace is a walking ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' reference. During the heist, Yuzu even sings the opening lines of ''WebVideo/FiveNightsAtFreddysTheMusical''. Shadow Sora's punishment for Yuto is based on the story [[Literature/FiveNightsAtFreddysFazbearFrights "Count the Ways}]].

** Sora gets a HeelFaceTurn earlier due to Yuzu, Yuya, and Yuto beating up his shadow.

** Yuzu lights her bat on fire and shouts, [[VideoGame/CrashBandicootWarped "Break out the butter, I'm gonna make toast!"]]

* MyLittlePhony: Yuya's Xyz monster, Performapal Pop Unicorn, is depicted as a pony with a popcorn bucket cutie mark.
