* {{Foil}}: To Gentaro, believe it or not. Delinquent-like characters who are in to friendship and have a connection to Yugi, and while Joey is willing to fight to ''save'' Yugi, Gentaro (rather Sota) wants to crush Yugi to pieces [[spoiler:only because Yugi's unknowingly holding a powerful artifact in him]]. Plus, Joey is shown to be downright nervous upon seeing the variety of horrors in Limbo, while Gentaro (as both Mala Suerte and Sota) are unfazed by it all.

Added DiffLines:
Yugi Muto wasn't the only character who got stuck in the madness. These character originate from Franchise/YuGiOh as a whole.
!!Seto Kaiba
Yugi's rival. The only reason he gets involved is because no one gets to fight Yugi head-on except him. Unfortunately, this narrow-minded thinking causes more trouble than good.
----
* BadassBoast: Gives one to the Slasher during their duel.
-->'''Kaiba:''' A piece of filth like you has no right to touch us duelists! Listen well, garbage; I will not accept anything less but your complete and utter defeat!
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: By Yugi to kill Kairi under a LoopholeAbuse (ie, no member of the Darkness Proxy can harm her) in ''The Friendship Asylum''. Thankfully, Princess Peach purifies him before it's too late.
* TheCaretaker: In the final story, he's tasked by Princess Peach to tend to Perry the Parasol. Despite the oddness of this, he takes this role seriously [[spoiler: and is horrified when the Upheaval in Act III causes Perry to be stuck in Limbo without any hope of escape.]]
* CurbStompBattle: Utterly ''obliterates'' the Slasher when the latter duels him.
* DeadpanSnarker: It's not Kaiba without his trademark snark, now is it?
* DeconReconSwitch: His [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou rivalry]] with Yugi. ''The Friendship Asylum'' deconstructs this mindset, as it made him vulnerable to getting mind controlled. It's reconstructed in ''Through Darkness and Mirrors'', since, in his own way, it also means that he's willing to give Yugi [[DareToBeBadass encouragement]] (In his own way, mind you) and rise up against the stigma the Darkness Proxy are going through.
* DuelsDecideEverything: An InvokedTrope. After the Friendship Asylum, Kaiba has learned how to use the Quantum Cube to initiate this.
* HeroicBSOD: ''Kaiba'' of all gods get into this in ''Through Darkness and Mirrors'' when [[spoiler: he finds his hands empty because Perry the Parasol slipped out of his hands during the upheaval in Limbo, thus the boy is trapped without hope of escape.]]
* LightIsNotGood: Wields the legendary Blue Eyes White Dragons...and he is not a nice person.
* LittleNo: He can only utter this at the end of Act III in ''Through Darkness and Mirrors'' all while staring at his empty hands. Why is this important? [[spoiler: He was taking care of Perry the Parasol as his team traversed Limbo, but Alt!Gentaro's temper tantrum caused an upheaval, with Kaiba thrown back to the Pantheon and Perry ''stuck in Limbo without anyone to save him''.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Going after Yugi in ''The Friendship Asylum'' unleashed the Disaster dominoes that would eventually be the Undead Uprising.
** Evaporating the Lake of Reincarnation in ''Through Darkness and Mirrors'' meant one less portal to Limbo and its healing waters unavailable in Act IV.
* OddFriendship: With Princess Peach, since the princess trust him enough to take care of Perry for her while she's on vacation.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: His usual dynamic with Yugi, but after the Asylum was dealt with, resulting in Yugi being in a HeroicBSOD, Kaiba's actually willing to ''defend'' the guy! ...If only so that when they duel again, Yugi would be worth defeating.
** This way of thinking actually caused more trouble than good in ''The Friendship Asylum'' since it gave Yugi a chance to brainwash him, nearly kill Kairi, cause Sora to go insane, unleash the Undead Uprising and traumatize various gods in the process thus pavinf the way foe the final story.
* PapaWolf: Sota, you may be crazy, but using Kaiba's brother as a bargaining chip was practically suicidal.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: He may think Sota is a nuisance, but he does have him uploaded into his Duel Disk before he fades away, thus making Limbo unable to kill him and prolong his life a bit longer.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Joey (usual rivalry), Dean Ambrose (because it's Ambrose's fault that Kaiba almost killed Kairi), and Sota (Because the guy has NoSocialSkills and makes too many innuendos for his own good).
* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: His "battle" with Sota was to put it this way, absolute overkill.

Younger brother of Seto Kaiba who appears in the final story as, what else, bait.

!!Joey Wheeler
Yugi's best friend who arrives in the final story in utter disbelief that Yugi could be a monster.
----
* BadassNormal: No magic, no money, just wits, luck and being a {{Determinator}} are his tools of the trade.
* BerserkButton: Gets pissed when gods accuse Yugi of being a monster and even ''more'' pissed when he learns from the Guardians of the Galaxy just what Yugi had done months before he ascended. And then even '''[[UpToEleven MORE]]''' pissed when he sees The Slasher seemingly try to get Yugi to relapse.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Fused with the Lord of the Red armor in his duel against the Slasher, he gets brainwashed by the Slasher's Guardian Muneca monster, and then Obsolete Soul Crusher to make sure the control is complete. This sets Yugi's BerserkButton off.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: Utilizes a Red Eyes Black Dragon deck but has no evil bone in his body.
* DubNameChange: His dub name is used by non-Japanese gods to overall familiarity with it.
* FightingFromTheInside: The entire reason the Slasher was forced to summon another Dark Synchro Monster was to avert this, as Muneca's control wasn't complete.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: WordOfGod states that he arrived around October, and didn't know that Yugi got corrupted into a complete dick until ''Through Darkness and Mirrors'' started (which is in December). This is lampshaded by Peter Quill, who questions where Joey has been for the past few months to not know his best friend was an a-hole for about a week. Dark Magician later fills him in as Lord of the Red.
* PlayingWithFire: Red-Eyes Black ''Flare'' Dragon is covered in fire, his Red-Eyes monsters all attack with fire, and Lord of the Red is a FIRE-Attribute Ritual Monster.
* SinisterScythe: When brainwashed (see above)
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Kaiba (as usual) and The Slasher/Sota (for being a creep, although the latter apologized for his word choice).
* TranquilFury: He doesn't get to act on it, but he tells Atem, in a deathly quiet voice, to leave the finishing blow on the Slasher to him.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: Says this word for word when ''Through Darkness and Mirrors'' starts up, swearing that he'll punch whomever is behind this as payback for what they did to his best friend.
* YouAreNotAlone: Reminds Yugi of this along with Téa.
!!Téa Gardener
Yugi's childhood friend who consoles the boy after the trauma and harassment he gets.
----
* DubNameChange: Like Joey above.
* TheHeart: Of the entire group.
* NonActionGuy: She stays back while everyone else ventures Limbo. Although she does help since she has a flashdrive from Elena detailing what will become Operation: Inside Out.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Not counting Yubel, she's the sole female character from the YGO series to get involved.
!!Jaden Yuki/Yubel
The second YGO protagonist and his partner, who is hoping to see if the darkness he uses can stop the one in Limbo.
* AscendedExtra: Appeared in one scene in ''The Friendship Asylum'', he's now on the front lines in stopping Limbo.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Jaden is the reincarnation of the Supreme King of Darkness who fights off against the evil Light of Destruction.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: He's able to tell if the Darkness has possessed or corrupted someone, [[spoiler:as well as identify that the cards Bandit Keith is using are not a product of the Darkness, but rather a power derived from the YGO-verse as a whole.]]
!!Bandit Keith
A cut-throat duelist who gets sucked into Limbo early into the story, [[spoiler:returning with a horrifying vengeance in Act IV.]]
----
* TheAlchoholic: At the start of the story, he's plumb drunk.
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:His possession and usage of the three Wicked Gods seems to set him up to be a very deadly opponent...only for him to lose to Yugi and give the good guys the edge they need to keep the Darkness back.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Is mentioned to have fallen into one of the Limbo portals early on, and is seen being approached by a mysterious figure. He finally reappears in Act IV as a pawn of the Darkness, and the mysterious figure is revealed to be Akato.]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: Courtesy of the Wicked Gods, the Darkness, and Noxicron.]]
* ManySpiritsInsideOfOne: [[spoiler: As discussed in DemonicPossession, he's possessed by five of these. However, since the Jashin work for Noxicron in his universe, the latter is mostly in control.]]
* PureIsNotGood: [[spoiler: Whilst under the control of the Wicked Gods, he's filled only with the desire for revenge on Yugi so that he's a viable candidate for the Keystone of Limbo]].
* SanitySlippage: Suffers this in a manner very similar to his role in [[Manga/YuGiOhR R!]]. By the time he finds Yugi, he's been broken down into a mass of pure revenge.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:He's actually one to Akato, who decided to test a card that one of Akato's superiors, who goes by the name of Noxicron, is planning to use later down the line.]]
