History Characters / YuGiOhZEXALTronFamily

%%* 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.

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:The first major duelist to be bedridden and put out of commission due to abuse of the immense power of the Numbers.]]

* AntiVillain: III is shown to be fully aware of his family's nature, only expressing visible discomfort at their worst acts of cruelty, goes along with Tron's scheme to trick Shark into taking Shark Drake, 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.

* AntiVillain: III is shown to be fully aware of his family's nature, only expressing visible discomfort at their worst acts of cruelty, 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.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Starts acting ''alarmingly'' like [[spoiler: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 [[spoiler: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.

* 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.

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. 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.

* AntiVillain: III is shown to be fully aware of IV's sadism, only interfering in his absolute worst acts of sadism, 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.

* RoseHairedSweetie: Strats becoming this now that he's no longer an enemy.

* FriendlyEnemy: With Yuma.

* 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.

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 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.

* DarkMagicalGirl: Not in the literal sense, but plays this narrative role to a T, being a gentle but tragic figure forced into rivalry with the protagonist due to his horrible circumstances.

* 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.

* RoseHairedSweetie: Already heavily at work in Zexal I, but becomes even more prominent when he is no longer an antagonist.

[[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.]]

[[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.]]

* PsychopathicManChild: Is a Type C. Counts as one due to his chronological age.

** In episode 63 he takes it off [[spoiler:to reveal an [[UncannyValley AR copy of Haruto's face]].]]

[[Characters/YuGiOhZEXAL Back to main.]]

* LoveIsAWeakness: He was disdainful of how his sons were dueling more out of love for him than hatred for Dr. Faker and spent several years systematically ruining [[spoiler:Shark's]] life to turn him into a LaserGuidedTykebomb fuelled by wrath.

* 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)) 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)).

* CreepyChild: [[spoiler:Except he's not]].

* TwoFaced: Downplayed with his mask, which covers up his eye and mouth on that side while the right side leaves them exposed. [[spoiler:Without the mask, the right side of his face is comparatively normal, while the left is little more than a dark, swirling void.]]

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Has a cute face and his outfit looks slightly feminine compared to his brothers.

** [[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.]]

* {{Bishounen}}: Very pretty.

* {{Bishounen}}: Despite being the most masculine looking of his brothers, his beauty is still present.

* {{Bishonen}}: Obvious even when compared to his brothers.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His main hair colour is a whitish-blue, which could also be conceived as silver.

* BigBad: A serious contender at the very least, [[spoiler:until he's defeated by Yuma]].
** BigBadEnsemble: With Dr. Faker for ZEXAL I.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Also counts as MulticolouredHair. It doesn't help that his main hair colour is a whitish-blue, which could also be conceived as silver.

* 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)) save for V, who has his name [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY 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)).

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: In contrast to his brother's names, his name is pronounced as the letter "V" (not "Five").

* NotSoDifferent: Quite a few:

** [[spoiler:He is also this to Faker, as both try to do what's best, but their methods are definitely questionable]].

** III and Rekka are the youngest with a red color scheme, are more positive and friendly then their siblings, and receive a decent amount of focus, though where III is unfailingly polite, even to his enemies, Rekka is rude and condescending.

** 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 this 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,
