The Tron Family are a group obsessed with attaining revenge on Dr. Faker for destroying their family, and based on the technology they use it seems they once worked for him much like Kaito does now. Tron and V, when they were still Byron and Chris, did work for him for a time, resulting in Byron's transformation into Tron and the disappearance of Yuma's father.
All of them share the following tropes:
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Tron is sanguine, III is phlegmatic, IV is choleric and V is melancholic.
* KnightKnaveAndSquire: The three Tron brothers: V is the knight, IV is the Knave, and III is the squire.
* PowerTattoo: The tattoos on their hands/foreheads prevent Kaito or Astral from taking their Numbers from them.
** ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:Mainly against Faker and the Tenjo brothers, but IV also has a seperate vendetta against Shark.]]
* TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty: Each of them cheated in some way.
** Tron uses his crest's power to eliminate any trap cards caught in his way during the Duel Coaster(how far this is cheating is debatable as Droite was the one who placed most of them deliberately to stop Tron).
** V had an incredibly broken monster on his field and he let Kaito know at last second.
** III erased the word "Kattobing" [[spoiler:and killed Astral]] from Yuma's memories, severely diminishing his dueling skills.
** IV tricked Shark into peeking in his deck to get him disqualified, and led Shark into a Magma field where his monsters are at a disadvantage.

Leader of the family due to being the father, 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 his sons 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.]]
* BigBad: A serious contender at the very least, [[spoiler:until he's defeated by Yuma]].

* 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 [[UncannyValley AR copy of Haruto's face]].]]

** And then he one-upped himself and beat [[spoiler:[[VillainSue 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.
** He is also able to take a person's Numbers from them much like Photon Hand and Astral are capable of, as demonstrated [[spoiler:after he beat Kaito.]]
* 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.

* {{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.]]

* SigilSpam: His Crest.
* SphereOfDestruction: Can conjure one, but never used it for any functional purpose.

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 several of Tron's acts. However, 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.

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:The first major duelist to be bedridden and put out of commission due to abuse of the immense power of the Numbers.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: III is far more friendly and kind than his brothers. Although he did become the exact opposite during his duel with Yuma, it was only due to the power of Tron's crest and his extreme determination to save his family, so that really shouldn't count since it wasn't permanent; [[spoiler:right after he lost]], he reverted back to his original personality.

* 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.

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.

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:[[VillainousBreakdown Begins to lose it somewhat during his duel with Shark. Mostly attributed to Tron screwing with him during the duel.]]]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: While around fans, he pretends to be a friendly and noble person, but to those who know him, he's an evil manipulative jerk who enjoys others' pain.
* CatchPhrase: ''FANSERVICE!!''
* CreepyDoll: His deck-type.
* {{Expy}}: Bears an uncanny resemblance to Takuto Tsunashi (in his pilot form) from ''StarDriver''; hair, coat, and all.
* {{Fanservice}}: He won't stop talking about it...although his idea of fanservice is a lot different from what the trope is usually about.
* 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]].
* HiddenDepths: With all of the vague {{Foreshadowing}}, one would be surprised if his character ''didn't'' take this turn.
** [[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.]]
* TheHunter: Numbers Hunter. He collected most of the Numbers they're currently using.
* InstantWinCondition: Destiny Leo has one.
* {{Jerkass}}: The biggest one of the siblings, doubles as a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk.
* KickTheDog: Even after defeating Tetsuo and Takashi with a One Turn Kill, he still attacks them with Giant Killer, hurting them even more.
* ManInWhite: IV's standard clothing in the series. He has worn different outfits in the past, however.
* ManipulativeBastard: Organized Shark's fall from grace and severely injured [[spoiler:Shark's sister, Rio, in a duel.]]
** [[spoiler:Subverted. 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 a 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.
* PetTheDog: 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.
** [[spoiler:After his duel with Shark, he explains just what exactly happened to Shark's sister and entrusts his revenge to Shark.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:In his duel with Shark during the WDC, he's so anxious to make Shark's defeat as complete as possible, that he makes a grave error, taking a gamble in order to activate an effect that would have done incredible damage if it had worked when he could have simply won by using an option that would have finished his opponent quickly. The gamble fails to pay off, and he loses as a result. (Of course, you could probably blame Tron for this one too. His cruel taunting made IV jealous of Shark, and want to prove himself in the eyes of his father.)]]
* TheRival: Of Shark.
* TheUnfavorite: Tron trusts III and V a lot more than IV due to his recklessness and anger issues.
* SayMyName: THHHRRREEEEEE! [[spoiler:When Kaito beats III with Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]].
* SlasherSmile: He along with Shark and Kaito.
* SmokeShield: Happens every time he uses Gimmick Box. Surprisingly, it doesn't happen in his duel with Shark.
* StepfordSmiler: Type C, a face which he shows the world.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:In episode 58, where he breaks down in front of Tron when he realizes his father doesn't care about him, III or V at all, protesting that he did everything Tron wished for with the hope of Byron Arclight returning.]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: Is the most willing and will go the furthest to please Tron, yet is also the least appreciated by Tron.
!!!''Zexal II''
* CoolLoser: V actually refers to Shark "as the only man IV ever called a friend".
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:Tries this on Shark. Shark instead makes him give into hatred so he'll stop trying.]]
* 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.
* SuperMode: Gains "Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force", letting him Rank-Up his Numbers.
* 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.)]]
* TookALevelInKindness: MUCH nicer now than he was before.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Acts like this during his tag team duel with Shark.

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 [[spoiler: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.
----
!!!''Zexal I''
* {{Bishonen}}: Obvious even when compared to his brothers.
* {{Expy}}: Of Harald from Yugioh 5D's.
* DysonSphere: His deck revolves around a Number that is based on this concept.
** KillSat
** BeamSpam
** NotSoInvincibleAfterAll
* EvilMentor: [[spoiler:To Kaito.]]
* 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.
* HotBlooded: When he Duels.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy[=/=]RapunzelHair: It goes down to his ankles.
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Gets VERY angry when Yuma inflicts a mere 400 damage to him when he had 5000 Life Points.
* MrExposition: Delivers an InfoDump on the backstory of Tron, Faker and Yuma's father before losing a Duel and falling unconscious.
* TheStoic: His usual disposition.
** NotSoStoic: When he found out [[spoiler:what Dr. Faker did to his father.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Also counts as MulticolouredHair. It doesn't help that his main hair colour is a whitish-blue, which could also be concieved as silver.
!!!''Zexal II''
* TheSmartGuy: He and Kaito build a dimensional transporter together. [[spoiler:He also created a Rank-Up-Magic.]]
----
All of them share the following tropes:
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Tron is sanguine, III is phlegmatic, IV is choleric and V is melancholic.
* KnightKnaveAndSquire: The three Tron brothers: V is the knight, IV is the Knave, and III is the squire.
* PowerTattoo: The tattoos on their hands/foreheads prevent Kaito or Astral from taking their Numbers from them.
** ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:Mainly against Faker and the Tenjo brothers, but IV also has a seperate vendetta against Shark.]]
* TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty: Each of them cheated in some way.
** Tron uses his crest's power to eliminate any trap cards caught in his way during the Duel Coaster(how far this is cheating is debatable as Droite was the one who placed most of them deliberately to stop Tron).
** V had an incredibly broken monster on his field and he let Kaito know at last second.
** III erased the word "Kattobing" [[spoiler:and killed Astral]] from Yuma's memories, severely diminishing his dueling skills.
** IV tricked Shark into peeking in his deck to get him disqualified, and led Shark into a Magma field where his monsters are at a disadvantage.

Leader of the family due to being the father, 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 his sons 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.]]
* BigBad: A serious contender at the very least, [[spoiler:until he's defeated by Yuma]].
* TheChessmaster: As if his plans before the WDC weren't good enough, he [[spoiler:manages to factor in Shark's newly acquired Chaos Xyz as a way to both gain control of Shark and get rid of Yuma, even though he'd been previously unaware of Chaos Xyz monsters]].
* 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 [[UncannyValley AR copy of Haruto's face]].]]
** In episode 66, he takes it off ''again'' and shows his true face; [[spoiler:a black hole where his eye-socket would normally go, and a nebula floating beside it.]]
* CreepyChild: [[spoiler:Except he's not]].
* EnfantTerrible: [[spoiler:Except he's not]].
* EvilLaugh: Very mocking and creepy at that.
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:A black hole for an eye socket is [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7zb5nYbZE1r18qjao1_500.png hidden behind his mask]]]].
* 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.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates just about everyone, from Shark to his [[spoiler:own sons]], who he refers to as 'pawns'. In episode 58, he even says he only trusts himself and [[spoiler:the `Barian World]].
* MindRape: To [[spoiler:Droite]] in episode 54 [[spoiler:by taking her memories of Kaito]].
* NotSoDifferent: 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.
** [[spoiler:He is also this to Faker, as both try to do what's best, but their methods are definitely questionable]].
* 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:[[VillainSue 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.
** He is also able to take a person's Numbers from them much like Photon Hand and Astral are capable of, as demonstrated [[spoiler:after he beat Kaito.]]
* 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.
* 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.]]
* PsychopathicManChild: Is a Type C. Counts as one due to his chronological age.
* {{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]].]]
* SigilSpam: His Crest.
* SphereOfDestruction: Can conjure one, but never used it for any functional purpose.
* VillainousBreakdown: Gets a minor one whenever Yuma keeps sabotaging his plan.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Is quite capable of this, as he was unaware of the Numbers' Chaos forms, yet was able to factor this knowledge in and use it to his advantage to [[spoiler:gain control of Shark.]]
* YouAreWhatYouHate: [[spoiler:What Faker did to him is bad, but his actions at the World Duel Carnival make him just as bad, or arguably worse]].

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.
