History Manga / YuGiOhArcV

Character tropes can be found [[Characters/YugiohArcVManga here]].

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

This article covers the manga. For the anime, see ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV''.

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: The anime is more zig-zagged on the scale. The manga is more idealistic, playing more out to the previous YuGiOh manga.

** Eve's Extra Monsters are based on the [[Anime/YuGiOhGX Sacred Beasts]], [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds Timelords]], and [[Anime/YuGiOhZexal Numbers]] respectively.

* AdaptedOut: Despite them being a major part of his anime deck, Yuya doesn't play Magicians in this continuity. Instead, Odd-Eyes have been developed into their own continuity.

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

'''This work covers the manga. For the anime, see ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV''.'''

Yuya Sakaki is mysterious Entertainment Duelist known as the "Phantom", pursued by Reiji Akaba and the Leo Corporation after he hacked into their Solid Vision System. Yuya himself is in search of the card "Genesis Omega Dragon", a card that will supposedly determine the fate of the world. Having to [[SharingABody share a body with Yuto]], along the way he encounters Yuzu and, after [[ReadTheFinePrint not entirely paying attention to the piece of paper she had him "autograph"]], he now finds himself with a hothead of a manager along for the ride as well.

* 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.]]

** Surprisingly, ''Kurosaki'' in this manga, combined with a HairTriggerTemper to boot. He duels for intense matches and hates Yuya's guts for taking a more performer approach to them.

* MythologyGag: For starters, Yuya and Yuto are SharingABody, and can freely switch control between one another when needed. Obviously, this is a massive MythologyGag to [[Manga/YuGiOh the original manga]] with Yugi and the Pharaoh. Unlike Yugi, [[spoiler:[[TookALevelInBadass at least until the end of the series]]]] though, Yuto is more than capable of dueling by himself and usually only gives Yuya control when he specifically requests it.

* SharingABody: For some inexplicable reason, 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.

* WhamShot: During Yugo's battle with Ren inside Yuya's mind, it was revealed that [[spoiler: Yuya and Yugo used to be separate people.]]

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

* HotBlooded: Surprisingly, ''Kurosaki'' in this manga, combined with a HairTriggerTemper to boot. He duels for intense matches and hates Yuya's guts for taking a more performer approach to them.

** When it was revealed that the Phantom is both Yuya and Yuto.
** In Scale 6, this is followed up by Yuya's willing and cheerful admission that he actually has ''four'' personalities, to the gaping shock of Yuzu and Shuzou.
** In Scale 13. [[spoiler: Ren also says that Yuya has the Adam Factor after the battle with Yugo.]]
* WhatShot: During Yugo's battle with Ren, it was revealed that [[spoiler: Yuya and Yugo used to be separate people.]]

* WhamLine: When it was revealed that the Phantom is both Yuya and Yuto. In the sixth chapter, this is followed up by Yuya's willing and cheerful admission that he actually has ''four'' personalities, to the gaping shock of Yuzu and Shuzou. [[spoiler: Ren also says that Yuya has the Adam Factor after the battle with Yugo.]]

* BattleToTheCenterOfTheMind: Yugo chases and fights Ren inside Yuya's consciousness.

* 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.

* WhamLine: When it was revealed that the Phantom is both Yuya and Yuto. In the sixth chapter, this is followed up by Yuya's willing and cheerful admission that he actually has ''four'' personalities, to the gaping shock of Yuzu and Shuzou.

** Instead of being separate humans, Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri are SplitPersonalities.
