The Resistance
The Resistance. The remaining Xyz duelists who haven't been captured by Academia; they are the last remnants of a world that's gone to hell due to dimensional invaders. The Xyz dimension was originally a peaceful place to live in before they were attacked without warning. Somehow, duelists of the Resistance were able to procure the same technology as their enemies and can now inflict real damage on their opponents and seal them away into cards.
Shun Kurosaki
Archetype: Raid Raptors
Shun Kurosaki, along with Yuto and Ruri, is one of the survivors of the invasion on the Xyz Dimension, as well as a member of the Resistance. Originally a kind person, the invasion took its toll on his psyche.
- Heroic BSoD: He goes into this after Ruri gets her memories erased and her body absorbed into Rin (whose body is controlled by Cyclone Dragon).
Archetype: Cipher
An alternate counterpart to Kaito Tenjou from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. Prior to the invasion of Heartland, he was considered the strongest duelist in the Clover Branch, and willing to aid students from other branches.

As one of the last members of the Resistance, he does not hesitate from hostile methods and would card any enemy without mercy.
