%%* FourEyesZeroSoul

[[folder:Koyou Hibiki]]
->A professional duelist and World Champion who serves as both Judai's and Manjoume's inspiration and gave both of them their spirit cards. Is in a coma after losing a shadow game.
* BigBrotherMentor: To Judai
* HesBack: In the ending.
* TakeUpMySword: Knowing he was going to fall into a coma due to a shadow game, he gave Judai his deck and jacket.
* WorfHadTheFlu: Judai actually manages to defeat him once, but he does so while he's not using his normal deck.

[[folder:Midori Hibiki]]
->Koyo's older sister and a professor at Duel Academy Japan.
* BadassTeacher: Is about to win against Reggie until Reggie indicates that if she does, she won't get the information on Koyo's coma
* CoolBigSis: To Koyo by blood and to Judai by choice.
%%* CoolTeacher
* DarkIsNotEvil: Uses a Fallen Angel Deck.
* DesignatedGirlFight: Her only duel shown is against [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Reggie]].
* HeroicSacrifice: In a sense, giving up a possible chance to awaken her brother so that Judai won't have to face Reggie. She doesn't succeed, though.
%%* HotTeacher
* SternTeacher: Doesn't hesitate to go hard on Judai, although typically does so in a cheerful manner.
* WorfHadTheFlu: She gives up a chance to win in order to try to help Koyo. By the time she's committed herself to finishing Reggie off to protect Judai, it's too late
[[/folder]]

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

[[folder:Tragoedia]]
-> The BigBad of the Manga, an [[AncientEgypt Ancient Egyptian]] manifestation of a man whose village was slaughtered to create the Millennium Items.

* AchillesHeel: The Feather of Ma'at, until he gets to full power when he duels.
%%* BigBad
%%* BodySurf
%%* DemonicPossession
* EldritchAbomination: Think Diabound, but far, far worse. You might be getting close to Tragoedia.
* EnergyAbsorption: The Planet Series cards he distributes to the American students sap small amounts of energy from Duelists to aide in his resurrection.
* {{Expy}}: Of Dark Bakura and Zorc Necrophades from ''Yu-Gi-Oh!''.
* ForTheEvulz: He claims at one point that he has no goal, he's simply bored.
%%* KarmicDeath:
* LightIsNotGood: He has The Sun as his planet card.
* MeaningfulName: "Tragoedia" is Greek for "Tragedy".
* TheManBehindTheMan: And he impressively maintains this up until the end of the story.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: The Supremacy SUN, though it combines it with CastingAShadow due to being a DARK Fiend-Type and having a solar eclipse in the card art.
* SealedEvilInACan: And he was so powerful that he wasn't even completely sealed in his tablet. Played straight with his heart, though.
* SinisterSilhouettes: In his early appearances possessing the principal's body, and from the crystals he gives to some of his subordinates.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: '''ACCURSED PRIESTS!!!'''
* VillainousBreakdown: Once Ma'at takes the field and Judai is able to make the moves he needs to destroy The Sun.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Inflicts Penalty Games on his minions when they fail him.

[[folder:Ryo Marufuji (Zane Truesdale)]]
* AloofBigBrother: Reprising his anime role for Sho.
* CurbStompBattle: Manjoume might be an AdaptationalBadass who can beat Judai in this 'verse, but he [[OneHitKill doesn't stand a chance against the Kaiser]].
* FamedInStory: To the point where his return from [[ForeignExchangeStudent studying overseas]] is cause for a school-wide tournament, and just getting a ''chance'' to duel him is the prize for the champion. And Ryo proves that he's earned that reputation by [[OneTurnKill instantly]] [[CurbStompBattle stomping]] said champion.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: Returns from being this in America with Fubuki. Naturally, the Chancellor throws a tournament.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: As in the anime, his deck is centered around Machine-type, dragon-themed monsters.
* LivingLegend: He and [[AdaptationalBadass Fubuki]] are legendary at the Academy, including the branches in other countries.
* MythologyGag: The DistantFinale shows him wearing his Hell Kaiser outfit. Which, unlike the other {{Mythology Gag}}s, carries a bit of FridgeHorror.
* ObliviousToLove: The only one besides Asuka not to notice Misawa's crush. [[MySisterIsOffLimits Fubuki]] gets annoyed that he doesn't notice.
* [[OneHitKill One Turn Kill]]: He [[CurbStompBattle flattens]] Manjoume instantly and effortlessly.
* RedBaron: Notable in that he gets to stay "Kaiser" in the English translation, unlike the anime. [[LampshadeHanging Crocodile points out that lots of people have nicknames like that at the Japanese duel academy]].
* ThemeNaming: His Cyber monsters are named for stars in the constellation Draco.

[[folder:Fubuki Tenjoin (Atticus Rhodes)]]
* AdaptationalBadass: He goes from a mostly comic relief character who never wins an on-screen duel even when he gets serious 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.
** Not to mention that he's stated to be one of the "twin duels of Duel Academy" along with ''[[TheAce Ryo]].''
* BlowYouAway: Runs a WIND Winged-Beast Sphere Deck.
* TheCharmer: Some things never change, but at least he's polite about it.
* DemonicPossession: Falls victim to this, [[BodySurf just like half of the rest of the cast.]]
* DissonantSerenity: Remains infuriatingly calm during his duels, even when losing half his life points.
* FamedInStory: Along with Ryo. A welcome [[AdaptationalBadass upgrade]] from [[InformedAbility his]] [[TheWorfEffect anime]] [[PluckyComicRelief counterpart]].
* ForeignExchangeStudent: Was this in America with Ryo, before he returns a bit late. Or early. [[TheCasanova It involved a crush.]]
* LadyKillerInLove: Has followed Mac back and forth across the Pacific. Post-DemonicPossession, she doesn't seem to mind his presence.
* RedBaron: Fubuking/Rhodie (or possibly "King Atticus.") Asuka doesn't like it.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: Makes a remark to this effect while watching Misawa and Asuka's tag duel and noticing Misawa's crush on her.
-->'''Fubuki''': As her older brother, I'll never allow it.
** It is the opposite from his [[TheMatchmaker attitude toward Asuka's love life in the anime]].
* WorfHadTheFlu: He loses to Edo because Tragoedia forcibly prevented him from activating his trap.

[[folder:James Crocodile Cook]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: See below. Note that his anime counterpart is easily one of the nicest guys on the show.
* AxCrazy: Is the only one of the foreign champions who willingly aids Tragoedia. Just as crazy as David was.
* CombatSadomasochist: Again, like David, hinted when he laughs after beating Misawa in a Shadow Game and commenting that he loves the close wins.
* EyeScream: Guess what's under [[EyePatchOfPower the bandages]]. [[SchmuckBait Just try to guess.]]
* MakingASplash: His Alligator cards are WATER-Attribute, and his Legendary Planet is The Tyrant ''NEPTUNE''.
* NonindicativeName: His uses an ''Alligator'' Deck. No crocodiles to be found.
* NiceHat: His [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jim_GX_8784.jpg hat]] remains just as nice as his anime counterpart's.
* SinisterScythe: A colossal one is wielded by NEPTUNE.
* SlasherSmile: Sports a nice one while [[BodySurf possessed]] by [[BigBad Tragoedia]]. The EyeScream didn't help.

[[folder:Amon Garam (Adrian Gecko)]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: He's nowhere near the villain he was in the anime. Not having Echo around to play LadyMacbeth helps.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Why does he want to become a professional duelist? To pay for his little brother's operation! Awww...
%%* HealthcareMotivation: See above
* SeriousBusiness: His view on duels, given his different motivation from everyone else, which also leads to him being something of a SoreLoser.
* TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential: His Sealed Beasts depend on the Sealed Mantra Spell to activate their effects, without it they're essentially Normal Monsters.
* TookALevelInKindness: Compared to his anime self, although he does look down on Judai.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Acts this way toward Judai, partly because he saw him lose against Edo Phoenix.

[[folder:Johan Anderson (Jesse Anderson)]]
* BeetleManiac: And the rest of the ''Insecta'' Class, apparently.
* BugCatching: Apparently his main pastime.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: "Hey, did you see a butterfly go through here?"
* DemotedToExtra: No [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows Gem Beast cards]], no HoYay with Judai, just one instance of possession and a lot of bug chasing.
* DubNameChange: Oddly enough, in Volume 7 of the English manga, he's called "Johann", but switches to "Jesse" in Volume 8 and 9.
* FriendlyEnemy: He's brought to the academy to duel against the Japanese students, but hits it off well with Judai and Sho.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Especially when he gets possessed during his duel with Sho.

[[folder:Austin O'Brien (Axel Brodie)]]
* AmateurSleuth: Attempting to find the source of the Shadow Duels, and actually does a decent job before...
* DemonicPossession: The real reason he was sent to Duel Academy, just like every other American!
* 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.]]
* MisterFanservice: Easily the most ripped out of the Americans.
%%* PositiveDiscrimination
* ShockAndAwe: What his Deck theme seems to be at first due to his Machines having names like 'Electro Sergeant'.
* SleevesAreForWimps: And probably didn't fit over his [[HeroicBuild arms]].
%%* TokenMinority
* VisualPun: His Division monster looks like the sign for a division equation.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Edo Phoenix (Aster Phoenix)]]
* EvilCounterpart: The Grand JUPITER to Judai's The EARTH.
* HeroKiller: Is able to defeat Judai and Fubuki in duels, even if he did have siginificant help in the latter case, but ultimately loses to Tragoedia.
* TykeBomb: [[DemonicPossession Tragoedia]] claims to have raised him for this purpose.
* UnwittingPawn: Just like his anime counterpart with Saiou and DD, has no clue that his adoptive father and mentor is Tragoedia's puppet, or that he's giving people over to Tragoedia.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Wants to be acknowledged by his brother, and eventually, [[HeartwarmingMoments he is]].

* BerserkButton: Sorta. When reminded about his loss to Fubuki just before dueling Asuka, he immediately OTKs her.

* SinisterSilhouettes: In his early appearances possessing the principal's body, and from the crystals her gives to some of hsi subordinates.

* RedBaron: Notable in that he gets to stay "Kaiser" in the English translation, unlike the anime. [[LampshadeHanging Crocodile points out that lots of people have nicknames like that at the Japanese duel acadedmy]].

%%* YinYangBomb

* SeriousBusiness: His view on duels, given his different motivation from everyone else, which also leads to him being something of a...
%%* SoreLoser

%%* BadassLongcoat

%%* {{Deuteragonist}}

* FriendlyRivalry: After Judai beats him... sorta.

* MoralityPet: Light and Darkness Dragon. Sort of. Majoume's a more decent person than his anime counterpart from the get-go.

%%* TheRival

* WorthyOpponent: You're either this, or [[ArrogantKungFuGuy not worth his time]]. By the time he's won a duel alongside Sho, he, Judai, Misawa, Asuka, Ryo, and Fubiki]] all apparently count.

%%* AloofBigBrother

%%* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons

* RedBaron: Notable in that he gets to stay "Kaiser" in the English, unlike the anime. [[LampshadeHanging Crocodile points out that lots of people have nicknames like that at the Japanese duel acadedmy]].

** Not to mention that he's stated to be one of the "twin duels of Duel Academy" along with ''Zane.''

* WorfHadTheFlu: He lost to Edo/Aster because Tragoedia forcefully prevented him from activating his trap.

%%* NiceHat

* BadassLongcoat
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Judai is the first student at Duel Academy to break his win streak.
** Naturally, Manjoume returns the favor.
* {{Deuteragonist}}

* TheRival

* TheSmartGuy

** AnIcePerson: All of her monsters.

* FourEyesZeroSoul

* StarterVillain

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter

* YinYangBomb

* CoolTeacher

* HotTeacher

* HelloNurse

* AlphaBitch

* ImpossibleHourglassFigure

** ForeignExchangeStudent

* LightIsNotGood: Uses an Angel Lord Deck.
** However, once she's defeated, she reverts back to the way she was before her father was possessed, and is considerably nicer, with Edo remarking on the change.

* AxCrazy

** ForeignExchangeStudent

* ObviouslyEvil

* BigBad
* BodySurf
* DemonicPossession

* KarmicDeath:

* AloofBigBrother

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons

* NiceHat

* HealthcareMotivation: See above

** SoreLoser

* TokenMinority
** PositiveDiscrimination

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Not that her anime counterpart isn't beautiful too, but in the manga her features are slightly exaggerated for this trope, particularly having larger breasts and longer legs.

* HeroKiller: Is able to defeat Judai and Fubuki in duels, even if he did have a little help in the latter case, but ultimately loses to Tragoedia.

* {{Badass}}: [[OneHitKill OTKs]] ''[[AdaptationalBadass Manjoume]]'', without even taking any damage.

* AdaptationalBadass: Admittedly starts out as weak as before, but toughens up much more quickly this time around. His mistake that caused Ryo to lose faith in him was not misusing a card, but throwing a game to spare the feelings of his opponent.

* BlondesAreEvil: She initially acted friendly towards the Academy students, but revealed her true colors in her Duel against Asuka.

* ForTheEvulz: He claims at one point that he has no goal, he's simply bored. He later reveals this isn't true.

* AdaptationalBadass: He goes from comic relief in the anime to ''beating Judai'' in the manga.

* GenreSavvy: He's very observent in all his duels, the most notable being that he anticipated a counter at one point because his opponent was bragging about how he'd win that turn.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy

* GenderBlenderName

* AdaptionalVillainy: See below. Note that his anime counterpart is easily one of the nicest guys on the show.

* HeroicBuild: Easily the most ripped out of the Americans, and the only one among them trying to [[AmateurSleuth figure out what's so fishy]].

* {{Expy}}: Of Dark Bakura from ''Yu-Gi-Oh!''.

* CombatSadomasochist

* AchillesHeel: The Feather of Ma'at.

* EldritchAbomination

* LightIsNotGood: He has The Sun as his planet card.

* TheManBehindTheMan

* SealedEvilInACan
* SinisterSilhouettes: In his early appearances possessing the principal's body.

* {{Badass}}: [[OneHitKill OTKs]] ''[[AdaptationalBadass Manjoume]]''.

* RedBaron: Fubuking. Asuka doesn't like it.

* BadassNickname: Fubuking. Asuka doesn't like it, though (or its less badass English counterpart, "Rhodie".)

** Which is a complete departure from his [[TheMatchmaker attitude toward Asuka's love life in the anime]].

** BadassNickname: Notable in that he actually gets to stay "Kaiser" in the English, unlike the anime. [[LampshadeHanging Crocodile points out that lots of people have nicknames like that at the Japanese duel acadedmy]].
