History Manga / YuGiOhArcV

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: ''Everyone.'' Reiji is a BadBoss, Shuzou is a wimp, Yuzu is money-obsessed, Yuya is much suaver and lacks the depression and insecurities of his anime counterpart, Yuto is more talkative, Yugo is a GlorySeeker, Yuri is a keigo-user, Sawatari's ego actually matches his skill (though he still jobs to Yuya much more easily than what we've seen of his teammates), Kurosaki duels to "feel alive" rather than for the sake of his people, and he and Sora work alongside one another. Not to mention, [[spoiler:both Yusho and Leo remained best buds in this continuity.]]

Reiji is a BadBoss, Shuzou is a wimp, Yuzu is money-obsessed, Yuya is much suaver and lacks the depression and insecurities of his anime counterpart, Yuto is more talkative, Yugo is a GlorySeeker, Yuri is a {{Keigo}}, Sawatari's ego actually matches his skill (though he still jobs to Yuya much more easily than what we've seen of his teammates), Kurosaki duels to "feel alive" rather than for the sake of his people, and he and Sora work alongside one another. Not to mention, [[spoiler:both Yusho and Leo remained best buds in this continuity.]]

* {{Keigo}}: Yuri speaks in this manner.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Yuri, who was really antagonistic in the anime till the end, is now firmly on Yuya's side although he didn't lose his sadistic tendencies in duels.

* AllForNothing: [[spoiler: Yugo's efforts in wiping out Yuya's memories of them was easily restored by the Adam Factor inside Yuya. Yuri even mentions this trope by name.]]

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: [[spoiler: How the Genesis Omega Dragon gets his followers. It will offer people near death a second chance at life and render them ageless but in exchange, they will have to serve it after their lives end. It offers Yuya a chance to save his brothers in exchange for surrendering, but his brothers stops him and tell him they're fine disappearing.]]

* TheArtifact: While in the show Yuya's pendulum has the ability to turn cards into Pendulum cards. Here it's pretty much a necklace that Yuya wears with no importance whatsoever.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: The Dimension Dragons, as per [[Anime/YuGiOhArcV the anime]]. However, unlike the anime where Odd-Eyes and its evolutions are Yuya's ace monsters while he mainly relies on his Pendulum Magicians and Performapals until he gets them, Odd-Eyes is promoted to its own full-fledged archetype in this manga, with Yuya and Yuto having several different Odd-Eyes Dragon Pendulum monsters to work with instead of just Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and its extra deck evolutions. Yuto still has Dark Rebellion though.

* {{Keigo}}: Yuri speaks in this manner.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Yugo and Yuri are doing this inside Yuya's mind [[spoiler: in order to erase his memories about them.]]

* AmbigiousEnding: The manga ends with Yuya, Reiji,[[spoiler: Ren and Isaac entering the portal where G.O.D was defeated to confront the makers of the G.O.D card, and it's unknown if they were able to defeat them or not.]]

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: ''Everyone.'' Reiji is a BadBoss, Shuzou is a wimp, Yuzu is money-obsessed, Yuya is much more suave and lacks the depression and insecurities of his anime counterpart, Yuto is more talkative, Yugo is a GlorySeeker, Yuri is a {{Keigo}}, Sawatari's ego actually matches his skill (though he still jobs to Yuya much more easily than what we've seen of his teammates), Kurosaki duels to "feel alive" rather than for the sake of his people, and he and Sora work alongside one another. Not to mention, [[spoiler:both Yusho and Leo remained best buds in this continuity.]]
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Thanks to Yuya and Reiji being [[spoiler:from 20 years in the future]], their relationship to the other cast changed.

** The 4 "Yuu" boys are actually [[spoiler:brothers in this continuity, not the fragments of Zarc. This means that Yugo, Yuri and Yuto is now related to Yusho and Yuzu.]]

** The Yusho juniors are also nowhere to be seen, implying they're not enrolled to Syu Zo dueling school as the school has no enrollees.

** [[spoiler:Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, Yuri and Reiji are revealed to be from the future. Reiji has very different relationships with Yuya, Leo and Yusho as a result.]]

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: [[spoiler: How the Genesis Omega Dragon gets his followers. It will offer people near death a second chance at life and render them ageless but in exchange, they will have to serve it after their lives end. Yuya was offered a chance to save his brothers in exchange of surrendering, but his brothers stopped him.]]

** Genesis Omega Dragon is supposedly this. Yuya says it can manipulate the HardLight setup of most duels, and Yuya says HardLight system was supposedly created to bring it into existence and thus can deal out an untold amount of damage to the world if in the wrong hands. [[spoiler: According to Reiji, Yuya himself is apparently also this, saying that it's his destiny to bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.]]
** [[spoiler: Turns out Yuya isn't that, but he and Reiji carry the Adam Factor, pieces of the G.O.D.'s powers that were split by Adam himself in order to combat the card. And anyone who possesses the card and the factor ''can'' become this if they chose too.]]

* TheArtifact: While in the show Yuya's pendulum has the ability to turn cards to Pendulum cards. Here it's pretty much a necklace that Yuya wears with no importance whatsoever.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Yuto in chapter 7 (and possibly Yuzu).

* BookEnds: Story-wise, [[spoiler: Yusho and Yuzu's first meeting place is the same one where Yugo, Yuri, and Yuto met their demise.]]
* ButterflyOfDoom: [[spoiler: Reversed. Ren's backstory shows him dying in the tournament when he crushed a butterfly on his path making him slip and crash. The Genesis Omega Dragon offered him a second chance and he took it, this time the butterfly escaped his path so he was able to win and lived a prosperous life before Eve called him.]]

* [[DemotedtoExtra Demoted to Extra]]: Shingo and Shun got hit with this hard. Both got to have only one duel and rarely received any CharacterDevelopment. They immediately got shifted to the sidelines when Eve's group came into play. Yuzu can also count, compared to anime she has somewhat less relevance in the plot, in the manga she doesn't even get ''any'' duel.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: Yugo, Yuto and Yuri spent their last moments together by sharing a meal and throw roses while wishing Yuya happy birthday before they perished.]]

** PlayedForLaughs as the last round of the final battle had Yuya declaring and actually drawing his best card, but he can't play it since he doesn't have any cards left after his combo. It's settled on a scramble to an action card instead.

** Yuya using tokens for Xyz Summon to summon [[spoiler: Dark Anthelion Dragon]] is this because tokens can't actually be used for Xyz Summons. [[note]] The moment a token leaves the field, it ceases to exist. Xyz materials are not considered to be on the field, this is why Sangan does not trigger if he was a material. Also, they can be Fusion, Synchro, or Link materials as long as the summoning conditions don't specifically forbid it.[[/note]]

* OutsideContextProblem: Nothing is ever known about the Genesis Omega Dragon, with the only thing they're sure is that it's not from their world, will bring on TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt and that whoever holds it will gain unimaginable power. Even the scientists who researched it can only guess from what they'd seen firsthand.

* PsychoticSmirk: Of course. Yuri, Sora and surprisingly Kurosaki sports then when they're dueling.

* RewatchBonus: The reveal of [[spoiler: Yugo, Yuri, and Yuto being brothers makes their actions in earlier chapter chapters clearer and it answers why they're protective of Yuya.]]
* RuleOfSymbolism: There are a lot of BiblicalMotifs scattered throughout the book. For starters: Eve is the BigBad, and she's looking for the Adam factor. Then there's the G.O.D. Card that can shape the entire world.

* SinsOfOurFathers: Reiji thinks highly of his father and he blames Yusho for causing the World Illusion and killing his father that he antagonizes Yuya even if he knows he doesn't have anything do to with it. He does not even recognize Action Duels that Yusho created. [[spoiler: Turns out it was Leo himself that caused the G.O.D. Card to run amock and Yusho was forced to use the World Illusion and send Yuya to the past for a chance to stop it.]]

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Yuya and Reiji have this dynamic as they have their own reasons to find the G.O.D. Card and admit that this team-up won't make them friends.

* TrueCompanions: Kurosaki, Sawatari, and Sora are actually this even if they don't admit it and are more VitriolicBestBuds. [[spoiler: They took Sora's reveal as TheMole badly, but that didn't stop them from still treating him as their friend.]]

** Scale 16 shows [[spoiler: Yuri, Yugo and Yuto in separate bodies staring at the destruction of the G.O.D. Card.]]

** The Epilogue Chapter showing [[spoiler:an older Yuzu holding a year old Yuya while a young Yuto, Yugo and Yuri are playing around them, celebrating Yuya's birthday, cementing that Yuzu ''is the mother'' of the four boys and that she ended up marrying ''Yusho''.]]

* YouCantThwartStageOne: [[spoiler: Eve was defeated by Yuya in scale 36. Unfortunately, the G.O.D. Card was in her hand and fully took over her mind to fight Yuya itself.]]

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: [[spoiler: Thanks to Yuya and Reiji being from 20 years in the future. Yuya and Yuzu aren't close like in the anime then it's revealed that she's Yuya's mother. The trio Shun, Sawatari, and Sora has a TeethClenchedTeamwork and VitriolicBestBuds relationship compared to the anime. Leo and Reiji have a better father and son relationship, and the Yusho is a BrokenPedestal for the latter. Not to mention the 4 "Yuu" boys are actually brothers.]]

** Yoko Sakaki is nowhere to be seen in any of Yuya's flashbacks. [[spoiler:Turns out its because of the implication she isn't Yuya's mother in the manga, ''Yuzu'' is.]]

** You Show Duel School is renamed to Syu Zo Duel School and Yuya is not a student there (however, he finds himself in their employ later on).

** Yuzu is not wearing her [[MagneticPlotDevice signature bracelet]].
** Yuya's ace monster is not Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, but Odd-Eyes ''Phantom'' Dragon.
** Instead of being separate humans, Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri are SplitPersonalities. [[spoiler: Though based from some of Yuya's memories, it wasn't always like that. The four of them are really ''brothers''. And in the ending, it's revealed that Yuzu is their ''mother''.]]

* ApocalypseMaiden: Genesis Omega Dragon is supposedly this. Yuya says it can manipulate the HardLight setup of most duels, and Yuya says HardLight system was supposedly created to bring it into existence, and thus can deal out an untold amount of damage to the world if in the wrong hands. [[spoiler: According to Reiji, Yuya himself is apparently also this, saying that it's his destiny to bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: Just before Yusho triggers the World Illusion, Yuya's brothers place him in the only available escape pod, saving his life at the cost of their own.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Yuya doesn't remember anything about his past.[[spoiler: Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri are trying their best to keep Yuya from remembering something from his past. Turns out that all four boys were brothers. Yuto, Yugo and Yuri all sacrificed themselves to protect their youngest brother, Yuya, from death but somehow their souls ended up in his body. To spare Yuya the immense grief and guilt he would inevitably feel if he remembers the circumstances in how he was saved, they do everything they can to prevent Yuya from remembering.]]
* MagicPokerEquation: Invoked as [[spoiler: Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri gave their lives to activate the Adam Factor inside Yuya in order to summon the ''God Eyes Phantom Dragon'' to defeat the possessed Eve.]]

* MythologyGag: Yuya and Yuto are SharingABody, and can freely switch control between one another when needed. This is a massive MythologyGag to the original series with Yugi and the Pharaoh. [[spoiler: Later chapters reveal Yuri and Yugo also share his body]].

* ReadTheFinePrint: Yuya neglected to do this after Yuzu asked for his "autograph", and as a result, he now finds himself with a new manager, but has also agreed to teach at the Syu Zo Duel School once all is said and done.

* ScarfOfAsskicking: Reiji's scarf, only this time he can use it as a grappling hook, gliders and even a boomerang!
* SharingABody: Both Yuto and Yuya share the same body. And at the end of the sixth chapter he says he has two more, Yugo and Yuri.

** Instead of being separate humans, Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri are SplitPersonalities. [[spoiler: Though based from some of Yuya's memories, it wasn't always like that. The four of them are really ''brothers''.]]

** In the first scale, Yuto was wearing his goggles and mask in the anime.

* [[DemotedtoExtra Demoted to Extra]]: Shingo and Shun got hit with this hard. Both got to have only one duel and rarely received any CharacterDevelopment. They immediately got shifted to the sidelines when Eve's group came into play.

* MarkOfTheBeast: All those who made a contract with god have part of their body scarred with muscle-like markings. [[spoiler: It disappears once the G.O.D. Card was destroyed.]]

** Yuya using tokens for XYZ summon to summon [[spoiler: Dark Anthelion Dragon]] is this because tokens can't actually be used for XYZ summons. [[note]] The moment a token leaves the field, it ceases to exist. XYZ materials are not considered to be on the field, this is why Sangan does not trigger if he was a material. Also, they can be Fusion, Synchro, or Link materials as long as the summoning conditions don't specifically forbid it[[/note]]

The manga is written by Shin Yoshida (story) and Masahiro Hikokubo (duels), drawn by Naohito Moyashi and supervised by Creator/KazukiTakahashi.

* NewRulesAsThePlotDemands: Just like in the anime, Pendulum Summoning is shown to be unique only to the Phantom, and the LDS is shown monitoring his duels to know more about it. [[spoiler: It makes sense since Yuya's from the future and the only one who knows this is Reiji, who also knows how to pendulum summon.]]

* BookEnds: Story-wise, [[spoiler: Yusho and Yuzu's first meeting place is the same one where the Yugo, Yuri, and Yuto met their demise.]]

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: [[spoiler: In Isaac vs. Reiji, it turns out Reiji created a card that bypasses the pendulum scale, allowing him to use ''Transcendent Pendulum Summon'' and summon a level 12 monster.]]

* CrazyPrepared: Yuya and Yugo knows that Ren won't hold back on their next duel so Yuya rigged the

** [[spoiler: Ren turns out to be Yugo's descendant and highly idolizes him. Its the reason why he's set on dueling Yugo.]]

* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Yugo and Yuri are doing this inside Yuya's mind.
* LargeHam: Yuya still has his entertainment routine. Sawatari is just as hammy as his anime counterpart.

* YouCantThwartStageOne: [[spoiler: Eve was defeated by Yuya, unfortunately the G.O.D. Card was in her hand and fully took over her mind to fight Yuya itself.]]

* TheArtifact: While in the show its has the ability to turn cards to Pendulum cards. Here its pretty much a necklace that Yuya wears with no importance whatsoever.

* DeclarationOfProtection: Yugo and Yuri promises to protect Yuya from those who wanted to hurt him. [[spoiler:After all, they are his older brothers.]]

** Yugo in this continuity is still a hot blooded person.

* RewatchBonus: The reveal of [[Yugo, Yuri, and Yuto being brothers makes their actions in earlier chapter chapters clearer and it answers why they're protective of Yuya.]]

* {{Squick}}: The end of the series and Epilogue chapter reveals that [[spoiler:''Yuzu'' is Yuya, Yuto, Yugo and Yuri's mother. Her husband is ''Yusho''. With this knowledge, rereads of chapters where Yuzu is flirting with Yuya or any of his brothers (and vice versa) could potentially make a reader uncomfortable. Plus, the reveal occurs well after the anime has ended, which means seeing Yuzu and Yusho interact in the anime can make those rewatchings uncomfortable as well.]]

* UnexpectedCharacter: Eve's deck features a Fusion Sacred Beast Monster, a Synchro Timelord Monster, and an Xyz Number monster, all cards originating from previous eras of the series.

** Yoko Sakaki is nowhere to be seen in any of Yuya's flashbacks. [[spoiler:Turns out its because of the implication she isn't Yuya's mother in the manga, Yuzu is.]]

** Instead of being separate humans, Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri are SplitPersonalities. [[spoiler: Though based from some of Yuya's memories, it wasn't always like that.]]

* DeclarationOfProtection: Yugo and Yuri promises to protect Yuya from those who wanted to hurt him.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Yuya doesn't remember anything about his past.[[spoiler: Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri are trying their best to keep Yuya from remembering something from his past.]]
