Juudai's best friend and sidekick, Sho Marufuji (U.S. name: Syrus Truesdale), whose feelings for his friend toe the line between brotherly and HoYay (if anything, this is [[DubText exaggerated by several lines of dialogue in the dub]], and has netted him rivals for Juudai's attention/affection in the form of Tyranno Kenzan and Overseas Champion Johan Andersen); he has unquestionably had the most CharacterDevelopment of all the characters, symbolized by his promotion to a higher dorm every season.
Added DiffLines:
Tyranno Kenzan (U.S. name: Tyranno Hassleberry), introduced in Season 2, a dinosaur-obsessed student with actual "dino DNA" flowing through his veins from an accident (and for some reason fancies himself a wannabe Army drill instructor in the dub). Originally fought with Sho over Juudai's attention (and affection), but quickly found a new rivalry with fellow fossil enthusiast Jim "Crocodile" Cook in Season 3.
Added DiffLines:
TheRival and WorthyOpponent, Jun Manjoume (U.S. dub name: Chazz Princeton), who was demoted from Obelisk to Osiris and wears a black trenchcoat instead of a school uniform; to his annoyance, he also has the power to see and hear monster spirits. The reason it's "to his annoyance" is because the primary spirits he deals with are [[SmallAnnoyingCreature the Ojama Trio]], three rather disgusting and tactless monsters; he's actually fond of them but will admit it under no circumstances.
* He gets significantly better treatment in the manga: Instead of the Ojamas, his spirit ally is the Light and Darkness Dragon, whose power even scares the BigBad.
Added DiffLines:
Asuka Tenjoin (U.S. name: Alexis Rhodes), the [[CoolBigSis kind and pretty]] "Queen of Obelisk Blue" [[FauxActionGirl (sorta)]] and Juudai's closest thing to a heterosexual love interest (as well as [[PlatonicLifePartners the Grace to Ryou Marufuji's Will]]). Also, Manjoume and just about [[HelloNurse every other boy in school has HUGE crushes on her]] (two have dueled Juudai out of sheer jealousy of her admiration for him), to the great delight of [[TheMatchmaker her older brother Fubuki]]... and to Asuka's own despair.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy
* ButtMonkey: Season 2
* CelibateHero: Oooh, boy...
* CrazyPrepared: Opponent tossed his deck into the lake? No problem -- he's locked and loaded with 6 more decks to spare!
* DealWithTheDevil: Saiou promised Misawa that people would remember him and he would get the respect he deserved if he joined up. Pity it didn't actually work that way.
* DemotedToExtra: Season 2 onward, and pointed out in the canon as his reason for joining the Society of Light.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Cited as the reason for his FaceHeelTurn in season 2.
* {{Expospeak}}: Seems to be the sole reason for him to reemerge from the bus on occasion.

* InformedAbility: Said to be the second-best in his class and second only to [[TheAce Judai]], yet he only ever wins one duel on-screen (though to be fair, all his other opponents were wearing PlotArmor).
* LightIsNotGood
* TheMagicPokerEquation: Averted, and making him one of the few characters in the ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'' universe who ''doesn't'' rely on it. He uses mathematical formulas and science to fine-tune his decks to perfection, thereby minimizing the variable of luck in his duels and making his decks very precise and strategic.

->'''Obelisk Blue.''' Sho's older brother, nicknamed the Kaiser. Originally the top student at Duel Academia who prided himself on dueling with respect and honor, before a devastating loss to Edo Phoenix prompted an unexpected and long FaceHeelTurn.
-----
''Season 1:''
* TheAce: A variation. Literally described as "perfect" on multiple occasions, effortlessly defeats the main character in his first on-screen duel, and is the completely undefeated best duelist at the Academy. Only duels three times in the season (two of them against Judai) because they couldn't figure out how to make it dramatic anymore. Not quite charming, and ''definitely'' not hammy, but he pretty much fits the bill.
* AloofBigBrother
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The first to defeat Judai, probably counts as a variation of UnknownRival, and is barely disputed as superior (at least until the Graduation Duel).
** During the Phantom Demons arc, he easily destroys a villain without taking a single hit, before she forces him to make a HeroicSacrifice for Sho. Judai very nearly loses against the same villain in the next episode.

*** And the end of the Graduation Duel, when he and Judai both stretch out on the floor, [[http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/zz118/Wilderstorm/Funny%20Yu-Gi-Oh%20GX%20moments/Epiclulz.png laughing their heads off]].

-----
* AntiHero: Type V --> Type IV
* DeathIsDramatic: He pretty much kicks Judai's pathetic whining ass back into gear about five seconds before he dies
* DyingMomentofAwesome: He quadruples the attack points of his greatest monster, and despite his losing the duel, snaps Judai out of his HeroicBSOD, something that three other HeroicSacrifices had failed to do previously.
* HeroicSacrifice: against Yubel.
* SecretlyDying: He tells no one of his heart condition and shrugs it off if anyone sees him when he's in pain from hit.
* SpiritedCompetitor: He spends almost the entire season looking for someone strong enough to give him one last amazing duel.
* ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil, UpToEleven
''Season 4:''

-----
* BackFromTheDead
* DoingInTheScientist: His heart problems weren't due to dueling with [[ElectricTorture electro-shock collars]] but the [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique dangerous forbidden deck]] he used.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Comes to his senses and gives up the Hell Kaiser persona thanks to Sho.
* IGotBetter: In contrast to the [[DeathIsCheap explained revivals]] of the other characters, he just randomly shows up. In his case, he literally has ''heart failure'' before fading away, whereas the others simply fade away, but were really trapped in another dimension.

[[folder: Emi Ayukawa]]
* AgentScully: There must be a logical explanation for multiple people falling unconscious after dueling today, just like at the [[YuGiOh Battle]] [[CallBack City]] [[MythologyGag Tournament]]. There's no way it's evil sorcery like the records claim.

[[folder: Fubuki Tenjoin (Atticus Rhodes)]]
* AdaptationalBadAss: He goes from comic relief in the anime to ''beating Judai'' in the manga.
** This is hinted at much earlier when a flashback shows the end result of what we're led to believe was a complete CurbStompBattle with David Rabb biting the proverbial curb. Remember that Rabb is one of the CoDragons who gave Manjoume a rough time when they dueled.
* BlowYouAway: Runs a WIND Winged-Beast Sphere Deck.
* BadAssNickname: Fubuking.
* DemonicPossession: Falls victim to this, [[BodySurf just like the rest of half the cast.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder: James Crocodile Cook]]
* AxCrazy: Is the only one of the foreign champions who willingly aides Tragoedia. Just as crazy as David was.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Tragoedia covers his tracks well.
* MeaningfulName: His Legendary Planet is Mars, and his monsters all have military-themed names (Electro '''Sergeant''', '''Division''' etc). [[FridgeBrilliance Mars was the Roman God of War.]]
* ShockAndAwe: What his Deck theme seems to be at first due to his Machines having names like 'Electro Sergeant'.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Edo Phoenix (Aster Phoenix)]]
* EvilCounterpart: The Grand JUPITER to Judai's The EARTH.
* TykeBomb: [[DemonicPossession Tragoedia]] claims to have raised him for this purpose.

!! Cards
[[folder: Elemental Heroes]]
Judai's core deck theme revolving around low-level monsters based on comic book superheroes, they can fuse together and use support cards to perform powerful combos.
* BarbarianHero: Wildheart.
* BatSignal: Hero Signal.
* ElementalPowers: The base heroes all conform to one of the common elements: [[BlowYouAway Avian]], [[ShockAndAwe Sparkman]], [[PlayingWithFire Burstinatrix]], [[DishingOutDirt Clayman]], [[MakingASplash Bubbleman]], [[CastingAShadow Necroshade]], and eventually [[HolyHandGrenade Neos]]. Then in the manga we get [[GreenThumb Plant-based]] Heroes like Knospe and Woodsman.
* FusionDance: Their key strength, almost any two heroes can fuse together, so Judai always has plenty of options when it's time to fuse.
* GatlingGood: Rampart Blaster
* LightEmUp: Shining Flame Wingman, Electrum, and Neos and some of its fused forms.
* MagikarpPower: Without their support cards or Fusion cards the individual heroes are pretty weak. But once you get the cards you need for a combo or a Fusion, watch out.
* PowerGivesYouWings: Flame Wingman and Shining Flare Wingman.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Neo Spacians]]
An archetype based on cards Judai designed as a child, they were sent into space on a time capsule and infused with cosmic energy. They consist of the six base Neo-Spacians, Elemental Hero Neos, and some other non Neo-Spacian cards that still fit the general theme/idea, like Rallis the Star Bird.
* BatSignal: N-Signal
* DarkIsNotEvil: Dark Panther.
* DolphinsDolphinsEverywhere: Aqua Dolphin.
* ElementalPowers: One Neo-Spacian for each of the game's six Attributes: [[PlayingWithFire Flare Scarab]], [[DishingOutDirt Grand Mole]], [[MakingASplash Aqua Dolphin]], [[BlowYouAway Air Hummingbird]], [[CastingAShadow Dark Panther]], and [[HolyHandGrenade Glow Moss]].
* EnergyBeings: Glow Moss
* FusionDance: Contact Fusion, a unique method of fusing not needing a Fusion-type card to initiate.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Once Judai picks them up in Season 2 most of his victories in the rest of the series come about due to a Neo-Spacian, Neos, or some fusion of the two.
* ThisIsADrill: Grand Mole.
* YinYangBomb: Chaos Neos
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Cyber Dragons/Cyberdark Dragons]]
Ryo's key deck theme, he uses the Cyber Dragons in Season 1, prefers the new Cyberdarks in Season 2, and in Seasons 3 and 4 utilizes both with deadly efficiency.
* AnimalMecha
* BreathWeapon: Cyber Dragon's attack, Evolution Burst
* DarkIsEvil[=/=]LightIsGood: Ryo is a good guy when using Cyber Dragon, but following his FaceHeelTurn he uses the Cyberdarks to fit his new persona
** DarkIsNotEvil: Once he turns back to good he still uses the Cyberdarks. However, the only usage he makes of the Cyber Dragons while evil is as fodder to power up the Cyberdarks, so LightIsNotGood is mostly averted.
* DragonsUpTheYinYang: Played straight as can be with the Cyber Dragons and Cyberdarks representing the two halves of the symbol.
* EvilCounterpart: The Cyberdarks to the Cyber Dragons.
* {{Expy}}: Ryo's status as an Expy of Kaiba is hard to dispute when Cyber End Dragon looks like a combination of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon with Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon. By the same token, Cyberdark Dragon could be considered an Expy of Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
* FusionDance
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons
* OneHitKill: Ryo uses Chimeratech Overdragon to perform one, signaling his FaceHeelTurn. Dedicated real life decks using Cyber Dragon and it's variants can also pull these off.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent
* PowerTrio: The Cyberdarks
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ojamas]]
Manjoume's spirit partners, to his disgust, though he never stops insulting them they become a key part of his deck as he adds more support cards for them over the course of the series.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Ojama Yellow, Ojama Green, and Ojama Black. Ojama King is white.
* CombinationAttack: Ojama Delta Hurricane
* FusionDance: Ojama King
* KnightInShiningArmor: Ojama Knight
* MeaningfulName: "Ojamashimasu" is a Japanese phrase roughly translating as "pardon me for interrupting/intruding". It's why the flavor text on the card mentions the Ojamas always butt in on things, and why their stronger cards fill up the opponent's Monster Zones.
* PluckyComicRelief
* PowerTrio
* ShoutOut: Their mannerisms in the dub are based on the Three Stooges.
* StoneWall: Ojama King has 3000 defense, Ojama Knight trails just after it with 2500.
* UnderwearOfPower
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Destiny Heroes]]
Edo's main monster themes, based on characters in British literature.
* BatSignal: Destiny Signal
* DarkIsNotEvil
* EvilCounterpart: To the Elemental Heroes, naturally.
* ShoutOut: Many to English literature, such as Double Dude being based on Jekyll and Hyde.
* TimeMaster: Their effects revolve around time control, with effects relying on doing things on later turns. For example, Diamond Dude lets you discard the top card of your deck, and if it's a Spell you can activate it's effect on your next turn.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Phantom Demons (Sacred Beasts)]]
Three powerful and dangerous cards sealed under Duel Academy - Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, and Raviel, Lord of Phantasms.
* AwesomeButImpractical: At least with the God Cards, getting three monsters onto the field was fairly feasible. But ''good luck'' summoning these guys, whose summon requirements are to tribute three Continuous Traps, three Continuous Spells, and three Fiend-type Monsters.
** AwesomeButPractical: On the other hand, if you set up your deck specifically around them (for example, if you run a pure Fiend Deck for Raviel)...
* [[PersonOfMassDestruction Cards Of Mass Destruction]]: Once in play they begin to drain other cards of their energy.
* DemBones: The three all bear skeletal features, Hamon being the most prominent.
* DubNameChange: Completely reversing the intent for them to be ''evil'' versions of the God Cards by calling them "Sacred Beasts".
* EvilCounterpart: Of the Egyptian God Cards in the original series.
* FauxSymbolism: The three are named after Judeo-Christian angels.
* LargeAndInCharge
* PlayingWithFire: Uria's attack.
* PowerTrio
* ShockAndAwe: Hamon's attack.
* SpikesOfVillainy
