History Characters / YuGiOhZEXALTronFamily

* {{Sadist}}: His idea of fanservice is that of his "fans" writhing in agony at the mercy of his GImmick Puppet monsters.

* {{Kayfabe}}: His appearance in ''VideoGame/YuGiOhDuelLinks'' is him from after the series or at least from some point later in it, though he retains his psychotic in-Duel behavior from the first half. His debut event establishes that it's just an act he's putting on at this point instead of an actual relapse.

-->[[spoiler: '''Mizar:''' ''(After his Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon is stolen from him)'' Never before I had to taste such a humiliation!]]\\
[[spoiler: '''Trey:''' I'm honoured to receive such a compliment, "Sir".]]

* TragicVillain: Trey just wants his family to return to how it used to be, and his actions are driven by this goal. He's otherwise the nicest of his family, and his duel against Yuma is driven by envy towards the more stable Tsukumo family.

* RoseHairedSweetie: Starts becoming this now that he's no longer an enemy, though he retains his willingness to fight as he does throw a sword at [[spoiler:Mr. Heartland]] during his DynamicEntry and declares that he'll be Yuma's 'sword and shield'.

* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:In Hart's mental world in episode 64, he turns into a monstrous dragon to oppose Yuma. [[ClippedWingAngel However, Hope promptly kills it in two hits by summoning Utopia]].]]

* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: In Season 2, III, V and IV become this respectively. III plays moral support to Yuma [[spoiler:After he loses Astral]]. V is the Brains for he and Tron invent all sorts of gadgets and devices that help his family and allies against the Barians. IV is the Brawn for he helps Shark against his duel against Kurage/Chironex and [[spoiler:and against Shark himself when Shark decides to become Nasch.]]
* ColorMotif: III is Red. IV is yellow. V is blue and Tron is green.

** III and Rekka are the youngest with a red color scheme, are more positive and friendly than their siblings, and receive a decent amount of focus, though where III is unfailingly polite, even to his enemies, Rekka is rude and condescending.
** IV and Kourin are the middle child with a yellow and white color scheme, tend to act recklessly, and have received the most development among the siblings, but whereas IV’s kindness masks his sadism, eggs on one of the main protagonist’s into being corrupted, and faithfully follows his father’s orders to fulfill their goals, Kourin’s arrogance masks her kindness, works to stop one of the main protagonists from being corrupted, and acts independently from her sisters to do so, knowing it goes against their goals.
** V and Suiko are the oldest with a blue color scheme, are the most loyal and calm towards their leader, and receive the least amount of focus among the siblings, but while V is generally stoic but can be quick to anger, Suiko is a tease but remains tranquil even when angered.
** Tron and Takuto are both children who lead their respective groups with a green and white color scheme, using a trio of siblings to carry out their plans, and possess supernatural abilities from another world, but whereas Tron was an adult who was de-aged into a child and made a deal with the Barians for power to exact his revenge, treats his sons as disposable tools, and is a villain by choice, Takuto is a child working with Planet Cray to save both worlds, treats Ultra-rare with respect, and is unwillingly corrupted into a villain.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The three brothers: kind-hearted III is the Nice, AxCrazy sadist IV is the Mean, and aloof but polite V is the In-Between.
* PowerTattoo: The tattoos on their hands/foreheads prevent Kaito or Astral from taking their Numbers from them.
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:Mainly against Faker and the Tenjo brothers, but IV also has a seperate vendetta against Shark.]]
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: Their crests prevent their Numbers from taken by Kaito and Astral after defeat, although they can still hand their Numbers over manually. [[spoiler:It's no good against Faker's Sphere Field, though.]]
* ThemeNaming: Each of them were [[MeaningfulName named after Roman numerals]] that matches their Numbers card (IV with his No.40 & No.88(44x2), plus the converted Roman numerals of I and V into 1 and 5 in alphabetical numbers which represents his No.15 card, and III with his No. 33 & No. 06 (3x2) as well as the TCG-introduced No. 36, incorporating both of his anime Numbers while still being a multiple of 3) save for V, who has his name pronounced differently. It gets even more prominent when they faced enemies who uses their name's Numbers (III against Semimaru's No.3, IV against Kurage's No.4, and V against Kaninja's no.2 (try making a 'v' with your fingers and you'll get number 2)).

Leader of the family, and the one who is mainly seeking revenge against Dr. Faker, Tron is utterly ruthless in his quest for revenge, and breaks down several of the characters in the way of this quest before his eventual defeat by Yuma. Though he uses the others as pawns, he does show genuine concern for them at times, leading to his regret and apology to them after his defeat. As of episode 71, he has reconciled with Faker, but it's unknown as to whether we'll see him again, as he seems to be trapped in either the Astral or Barian World.

Tron's deck theme is the Heraldic Beasts, based on creatures shown on family crests and coats-of-arms. In accordance with this, his ace Number is No. 8: Heraldic King - Genome Heriter, and later becomes No. 69: God Medallion Coat of Arms. His own abilities also display this somewhat, as the DNA strands shown when he uses his powers imply a theme of family ancestry and genetic links.

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:To III, IV and V, who he sees as nothing but pawns to further his revenge against Dr. Faker.]]
* TheAtoner: Becomes this in ZEXAL II, where he works to help Yuma off-screen by helping V develop the crest bracelets and later appearing to help stabilize the dimensions so Yuma and Nasch can finish their duel.

* CoolMask: Even reflected by Genome Heriter. When it uses its power to 'become' another monster, the only part of its regular form which remains is its mask.
** In episode 63 he takes it off [[spoiler:to reveal an AR copy of Haruto's face.]]

* DarkReprise: After taking Kaito's numbers, Tron unleashes 3 powerful monsters in one turn...the first of which being Number 10: White Knight Illuminator. A bit too eerily similar to the first turn Kaito took on-screen, bringing out the same number to start off his combo.

* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[spoiler:He actually thought the MindRape he inflicted on Droite was funny.]]

* FountainOfYouth: [[spoiler:He's actually the father of III, IV, and V, but was left with the body of a child due to Dr. Faker]].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Loves inflicting this upon his opponents by use of his Number cards, which steal the names and effects of their Xyz monsters for his own use. [[spoiler:This is how he wins against Droite and Kaito]].
* IShallTauntYou: Takes great delight in taunting Dr. Faker in episode 64 [[spoiler:when he's about to beat Kaito with Coat of Arms.]]

* MindRape: To [[spoiler:Droite]] in episode 54 [[spoiler:by taking her memories of Kaito]].

** He compares himself to both Shark and Kaito. With Shark, he points out that both are motivated by revenge. With Kaito, he points that both would do horrible things for what's important to them; Tron's willing to sacrifice his sons and do other horrible things for his revenge on Dr. Faker, while Kaito is willing to hunt and steal souls for his brother.
** With Yuma he combined this a BreakThemByTalking theme, trying to convince Yuma that he was actually working towards the same goal he was - trying to gain revenge on Dr. Faker - claiming his father had sent Astral to Earth in order to destroy it. (Whether Tron truly believed this claim is unclear, but what would make this so horrible, if true, is that it would suggest that Kazuma Tsukumo was just as sadistic as Tron was, which is pretty sadistic). The amazing thing is, that while Yuma refused to believe it, Astral was nearly convinced for a minute or two. [[spoiler:(It wasn't the first time he had such suspicions as to the intent of his purpose, and as it would turn out, his purpose ''was'' far from benign, but was not via Kazuma's doing.]])
* ObfuscatingStupidity: That laughing joke of a kid with a mask? Watch him absolutely massacre [[spoiler:Droite]] once he gets serious. And then he one-upped himself and beat [[spoiler:[[InvincibleHero Kaito]].]]
* PowerCopying: Genome Heriter's power allows it to take the form and name of another monster, while [[{{Unperson}} leaving that monster nameless.]]
** His other Number, No. 69: God Medallion Coat of Arms, is also able to steal monster effects, but with the added effect of negating them as well.

* ThePowerOfHate: [[spoiler:Coat of Arms runs on this, so Tron was trying to create hatred and anger so that he could summon it. He finally succeeds in his duel with Kaito.]]

* {{Revenge}}: Sure, this is stated above, right? However, as it turns out, [[spoiler:it's only really Tron who desires revenge against Faker. His sons, III, IV, and V, are only going along with the ride because they want their "real" father back, with all three actually asking their opponents after they're beaten to help save their family.]]

* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:In Haruto's mental world in episode 64, he turns into a monstrous dragon to oppose Yuma. [[ClippedWingAngel However, Hope promptly kills it in two hits]].]]

* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:As Byron, he looked like a mix of V and IV. As Tron, he does look quite similar when they are smirking]].

* VillainTakesAnInterest: [[spoiler:Due to his history with his father]], Tron is the only antagonist in the whole show who immediately considers Yuma to be a serious threat and takes measures to eliminate him and Astral so they don't interfere with his plans.

* TheBusCameBack: He comes back around the Yuma vs [[spoiler:Nasch]] duel.

Birth name: Michael Arclight. A kind young man who only wishes to see his family back together and happy again like they once were, III initially has little drive to seek revenge, and is visibly pained by the worst of Tron's acts. That said, he does take part in Tron's schemes, going out of his way to trick Shark into taking the Shark Drake Number card on Tron's request and helping IV in a tag duel against Kaito and Yuma to stop them from reaching Haruto. The sight of Yuma's happy family reminds him of what he's fighting for, and he comes very close to utterly crushing Yuma's spirit, killing Astral, and tearing open a doorway to the Barian World (unknowingly) before his defeat. He also becomes the first character to fall comatose due to overuse of the Numbers' power.

His deck theme is the [=OOPArts=], a group of monsters representing historical anomalies, as III believes that they show the influence of other worlds on the Earth's development, and his favourite monster is [=OOPArts=] Aztec Mask Golem. However, his aces are both Numbers; No. 33: [=OOPArts=] Superweapon - Machu Mach, and later No. 6: [=OOPArts=] Atlanthal. He was also the previous owner of No. 32: Marine Biting Dragon - Shark Drake, before it was passed on to Shark.

* AncientAstronauts: III's deck archetype is based on this, focusing on 'out of place artifacts', or artifacts that allegedly don't match the time period or civilization they came from. III himself seems to believe in this to some degree, claiming to Yuma that he believes that out of place artifacts come from other dimensions.
* AntiVillain: III is shown to be fully aware of his family's nature, only expresses visible discomfort at their absolute worst acts of cruelty, goes along with Tron's scheme to trick Shark into taking Shark Drake despite knowing that the Number card would likely try to control Shark as a result, and ends up trying to [[spoiler:kill Astral and mentally break Yuma]] during their duel, but his goal is ultimately just to see his family return to how it used to be and he places his trust in [[spoiler:Yuma]] to save his family.
* {{Atlantis}}: III's ace monster, Number: 6: Chronomaly Atlandis, is based on the concept of Atlantis.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: III breaks into Yuma's home to investigate Yuma, only to end up distracted by the large amount of artifacts in the attic. He even starts info dumping about them to Yuma when he shows up!

* DiskOneFinalBoss: The last obstacle Yuma must overcome to enter the World Duel Carnival Finals and the second person dangerous enough to give Yuma and Astral reason to use Zexal again.

* {{Foil}}: Of Yuma. Both are the youngest in their family, but their environment is very different. Yuma doesn't have both of his parents but still lives a peaceful and happy life with his sister and grandmother while III still has a parent [[spoiler:Tron]] and brothers but his family life lost their peace and happiness. Yuma argues a lot with his sister but III maintains a calm and respectful attitude towards his older brothers despite IV being slightly mean towards him in the beginning.
* FriendlyEnemy: Is the most outwardly nice of his family towards Yuma, expressing curiosity towards Yuma's determination and even briefly getting excited over the amount of artifacts in Yuma's attic. That said, this doesn't stop III from taking part in Tron's schemes or attempting to duel Yuma.
* GreenEyedMonster: Far from the calming effect it had with Hart, time spent with the Tsukumos intensifies III's need to restore his family's sanity no matter the cost. Bonus points because he literally has green eyes.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Starts acting ''alarmingly'' like his father Tron during his duel against Yuma, as he starts using his monsters as expendable pawns and attempts to [[spoiler:MindRape Yuma]], much like how Tron views his sons as pawns in his revenge scheme and goes on to [[spoiler: mentally break both Droite and IV during the WDC.]] Fortunately, this behaviour doesn't stick and III stops acting like this after the duel.
* MindRape: Attempts this during his duel [[spoiler:against Yuma, using the power he borrowed from Tron to make him forget his 'kattobingu' and render him cowardly.]] It doesn't stick.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: III apparently managed to collect all the Heart Pieces he needed to advance in the World Duel Carnival within the first day of the tournament, as revealed after his duel against Shark at the start of the second day.
* OhCrap: Once Yuma brings out Number 39, III remembers that Yuma was present during his battle with Shark and the one IV had with Tetsuo and Takashi, he's realises that while Kite has no idea what's coming during their tag duel, Yuma does and in turn they know absolutely nothing about him since he is an unknown variable in their plans. Happens again during his duel against Yuma, when he realizes that [[spoiler:Final Prophecy will destroy the world to open a portal to the Barian World if not stopped.]]

* SpiritedCompetitor: III continues trying to duel Shark after getting him to take Shark Drake and puts up a good fight, despite being told by Tron that he could just throw the match after delivering the card.
* SuperPowerMeltdown: III starts [[spoiler: losing control of the power he borrowed from Tron during his duel against Yuma, causing him pain and his D-Gazer tattoo (normally confined around his left eye) to start glowing and covering his entire body.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: III's duel with Yuma spans three episodes despite losing.
* TragicVillain: III just wants his family to return to how it used to be, and his actions are driven by this goal. He's otherwise the nicest of his family, and his duel against Yuma is driven by envy towards the more stable Tsukumo family.

* DeclarationOfProtection: Declares that he'll be Yuma's 'sword and shield' right before their duel against Semimaru.
* HeroicSacrifice: III and V team up to duel [[spoiler:Mizael]] in order to buy time for Yuma and Kaito to pursue their respective goals, both knowing that they'd likely end up being killed in the attempt. [[spoiler:They were right.]]
* TheBusCameBack: The Tron family was nowhere to be seen for the most of early Zexal II (outside the opening, {{Foreshadowing}} their return), but III returned in episode 112.

* YouShallNotPass: III and V team up to stall [[spoiler:Mizael, Durbe, and Merag (via dueling Mizael and generating a Sphere Field with their crest bracelets so that the Barians couldn't leave the area)]] so that Yuma and Kaito can pursue their goals. They successfully buy enough time, but [[spoiler:lose to Mizael and die in the process.]]

Birth name: Thomas Arclight. The champion of the Asian Dueling Circuit, and responsible for Shark's fall from grace from said circuit, due to setting up his deck to fall over in the waiting room, IV shows a kind and humble face to his many fans, but acts with sadism and malice to all others. He has a personal grudge with Shark for various reasons, including his involvement in the hospitalisation of Shark's twin sister, Rio, and Tron's eventual use of Shark as an assassin against Faker rather than IV, but is also spiteful towards any others who have close family ties because of how he and his brothers have suffered in the past. He cares greatly for his family despite this, and asks Shark to save his father after his defeat.

IV's deck consists of Gimmick Puppets, an archetype mostly reliant on its Xyz Monsters, and has used three ace Numbers depending on the situation; No. 15: Gimmick Puppet - Giant Killer, No. 40: Gimmick Puppet - Heaven's Strings, and No. 88: Gimmick Puppet - Destiny Leo.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: From multiple directions. [[spoiler:Tron's decision to use Shark as an assassin instead of IV leads IV to resent Shark.]]

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:[[VillainousBreakdown Begins to lose it somewhat during his duel with Shark. Mostly attributed to Tron screwing with him during the duel.]]]]

* CatchPhrase: ''FANSERVICE!!''

* FixingTheGame: IV tricked Shark into peeking in his deck to get him disqualified.
* FourIsDeath: Easily the most sadistic of the brothers, [[spoiler:though Tron does not think so, and it pisses him off to no end]].
* FreudianExcuse: Like all of the Tron siblings, he has suffered quite a bit thanks to Dr Faker's betrayal. It's implied during the Tag Duel with III that this is why IV insists on making other people suffer. [[spoiler:Not helped by the fact that he's Tron's least favorite.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:Tron's abuse has made him insanely paranoid of anyone he values more than him]].

** [[spoiler:Shown in episode 58. All he wants is for his father, Byron Arclight, to return from behind the mask of Tron. And he reveals that he didn't intend to hurt Shark's sister, and that Tron was responsible as he gave IV a cursed card. Not to mention that he saved her life by carrying her out of the building, getting that scar on his face in the process because he stopped to do so.]]
* HunterOfMonsters: Numbers Hunter. He collected most of the Numbers they're currently using.
* InstantWinCondition: Destiny Leo has one.

* KickTheDog: Even after defeating Tetsuo and Takashi with a One Turn Kill, he still attacks them with Giant Killer, hurting them even more.

* ManipulativeBastard: Organized Shark's fall from grace and severely injured [[spoiler:Shark's sister, Rio, in a duel. This is subverted when it's revealed Tron was effectively the one that organized everything, while IV simply followed orders. In fact, IV did not even intend to hurt Shark's sister - it was actually Tron's intervention that caused it. IV had used a card, Flaming Hell Blessing, that was given to him by Tron, but he was unaware that it had the capability of inflicting real damage. As a result, IV had unintentionally hurt Shark's sister, and IV even went out of his way to save her from the resultant fire (started by the card) straight away, which also caused the scar on his face.]]
* MarionetteMaster: His deck. Goes into {{Irony}} since he's being used by Tron as one, [[spoiler:which is made worse since he's his father.]]
* MiddleChildSyndrome: IV is averse to being TheUnfavourite, to say the least, which is why he tries the hardest out of all the brothers.
* [[spoiler:ParentalAbuse: May even fall into OffingTheOffspring territory as no one mentions Tron making a contingency for IV to get out of that burning building alive. The scar on his face is proof enough that he struggled surviving the duel with Rio.]]

** Despite usually being a complete sadist, he seems to genuinely care about his family a great deal. In fact, IV showed the most concern out of the Tron siblings when [[spoiler:III was defeated by Yuma]]. In addition, when Tron openly called III and IV disappointments, IV's first reaction was to stand up for III, and he did not even bother trying to defend himself.

* StoryBreakerPower: Disaster Leo. A 3500 ATK behemoth that deals '''4000''' damage upon using a single overlay unit, without any side effects whatsoever. In most cases, this will certainly mean a OneHitKill, as duelists start with exactly 4000 Life Points. If that wasn't enough, this card still retains the automatic-victory effect of Destiny Leo, allowing the player to win the duel once it no longer has overlay units.

* TookALevelInBadass: He was already one of the stronger duelists within Zexal I, but with the aid of [[SuperMode Argent Chaos Force]], he manages to become powerful enough to [[spoiler:nearly defeat the strongest Barian Emperor. In fact, the only reason he lost was due to Nasch's deck being a natural counter to IV's. (Nasch's deck focused on Life Point and Overlay Unit manipulation, allowing him to survive the effects of IV's Disaster Leo.)]]

* TheWorfBarrage: [[spoiler: See that StoryBreakerPower up there? Nasch beats it.]]

Birth name: Christopher Arclight. The oldest of the Tron siblings, V is generally quite calm and reasonable, and takes the role of the responsible older brother to his younger siblings; however, his greatest loyalty is to Tron, and will berate his brothers for going against him. His drive for revenge is greater than that of the other two brothers, as he also worked for Faker at the time of his father's disappearance. Prior to the series, he was a mentor to Kaito and taught him how to duel, but then discovered that Kaito and Haruto were Faker's sons and abandoned them both, which Kaito has never truly forgiven him for. However, he eventually loses to Kaito, who explains that he doesn't have to be loyal to his father if he doesn't want to. He then expresses his affection for the Tenjo brothers before leaving and falling comatose due to his Crest. His deck theme switched from a "Hell" theme mostly based on Spells and Traps to a space Machine theme, and his ace monster was No. 9: Sky Canopy Star - Dyson Sphere.

* {{Expy}}: Of Harald from Yugioh 5D's.

* EvilBrit: His VA in the dub version makes him sound like one.
* EvilMentor: [[spoiler:To Kaito, doubles as EvilFormerFriend.]]
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: The cards he uses on the Duel Coaster are based on the concept of Naraku, the Buddhist Hell, which is like this.
* GenerationXerox: Looks more like his father than either III or IV. [[spoiler:This is probably symbolic, as he also works more closely with Tron than III or IV.]]

* KillSat: Sky Canopy Star - Dyson Sphere puts just about every other example of this trope to shame in terms of sheer scale.

* MrExposition: Delivers an InfoDump on the backstory of Tron, Faker and Yuma's father before losing a Duel and falling unconscious.

* ThatsNoMoon: Pulls a variant of this the first time he summons Dyson Sphere, with a blazing sun behind him. At first, nothing seems to happen, and Kaito's attacks get nullified seemingly out of the blue; then, Dyson Sphere unfolds and ''swallows the sun''.

* BeatTheCurseOutOfHim: [[spoiler:How he "cures" Kaito of Scritch's hallucinogenic poison during the two-on-one duel, by turning his Dyson Sphere on Kaito's Dragon and forcing Kaito to fight back.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: Wishes to get revenge on the Barians for killing [[spoiler:IV.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: III and V team up to duel [[spoiler:Mizael]] in order to buy time for Yuma and Kaito to pursue their respective goals, both knowing that they'd likely end up being killed in the attempt. [[spoiler:They were right.]]
* TheSmartGuy: He and Kaito build a dimensional transporter together. [[spoiler:He also created a Rank-Up-Magic.]]

-->[[spoiler: '''Mizael:''' On what turn do you plan to defeat me by inflicting 500 points of damage?]]\\
[[spoiler: '''V:''' This turn, of course!]]
* YouShallNotPass: III and V team up to stall [[spoiler:Mizael, Durbe, and Merag (via dueling Mizael and generating a Sphere Field with their crest bracelets so that the Barians couldn't leave the area)]] so that Yuma and Kaito can pursue their goals. They successfully buy enough time, but [[spoiler:lose to Mizael and die in the process.]]

* CoolLoser: V actually refers to Shark "as the only man IV ever called a friend".

* OhCrap: Once he remembers that Yuma was present during his battle with Shark and the one IV had with Tetsuo and Takashi, he's realises that while Kite has no idea what's coming during their tag duel, Yuma does. Happens again during his duel against Yuma, when he realizes that [[spoiler:Final Prophecy will destroy the world to open a portal to the Barian World if not stopped.]]

* HeroicSelfSacrifice: III and V team up to duel [[spoiler:Mizael]] in order to buy time for Yuma and Kaito to pursue their respective goals, both knowing that they'd likely end up being killed in the attempt. [[spoiler:They were right.]]

* HeroicSelfSacrifice: III and V team up to duel [[spoiler:Mizael]] in order to buy time for Yuma and Kaito to pursue their respective goals, both knowing that they'd likely end up being killed in the attempt. [[spoiler:They were right.]]

* SiblingTeam: Forms one with IV for a tag duel against Yuma and Kaito. This is amplified by the fact that III seems to be the only member of the family to get along with IV without (too much) bickering, in contrast to Tron's treating IV as TheUnfavorite and V's mistrust caused by IV's sadism.

* SiblingTeam: Forms one with III for a tag duel against Yuma and Kaito. This is amplified by the fact that III seems to be the only member of the family to get along with IV without (too much) bickering, in contrast to Tron's treating IV as TheUnfavorite and V's mistrust caused by IV's sadism.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Once again, the three brothers: kind-hearted III is the Nice, AxCrazy sadist IV is the Mean, and aloof but polite V is the In-Between.

* MoralityPet: Is the only one of his children that Tron shows any affection towards after his transformation, compared to his business-oriented relationship with V and his outright abusive relationship with IV.

* TragicVillain: III just wants his family to return to how it used to be, and his actions are driven by this goal. He's otherwise the nicest of his family (comparatively speaking), and his duel against Yuma is driven by envy towards the more stable Tsukumo family.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Tron is sanguine, III is phlegmatic, IV is choleric and V is melancholic.
