Yusuke Fujiwara Yusuke Fujiwara is a new Obelisk Blue student at Duel Academy in season four of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX " . At his first appearance , he was in fact Honest , disguised as his master , disappeared long ago . However , the true identity of the mastermind behind Trueman is later discovered to be Fujiwara , under the influence of Nightshroud . Personality . During his first initial years at Duel Academy , Yusuke often got saddened at having bonds with friends due to the sudden deaths of his parents at a young age . He eventually got paranoid and believed that his friends will forget him eventually like his parents . He thus became obsessed with forgetting about friends and bonds before the people he bonded with forget him first , so that he would no longer feel the pain he continuously feels . Despite his doubts he was noted to be an expert Duelist as Atticus stated he was far more talented as a student than even himself or Zane . Under the influence of Nightshroud , Yusuke became more calm and collected and enjoyed taunting his opponents on their beliefs in the bonds and hope they use and create , believing that is what makes them weak . He continuously held onto the belief that forgetting bonds and hope will remove people ' s suffering and would often proudly declare this . Though Yusuke believed he completely had the power of Nightshroud under his command , he was simply another vessel for the malicious entity similar to Atticus . After finally being purged of Nightshroud , Yusuke changed his belief on friends and bonds and believed that as long as he believes in himself and his cards , he will never feel bond - related pains again . Biography . When Yusuke was just a young boy , his parents died suddenly , causing his spirit partner , Honest , to appear and promise him to protect him forever . Later , he enrolled at Duel Academy and made several friends , particularly Atticus Rhodes and Zane Truesdale , who also lived the presently abandoned dormitory . Later , he became paranoid and began to have the idea that his friends would also forget him , as he thought his parents had . It drove him to the point that he decided that " he " would be the one to forget them , so he wouldn ' t feel the pain of being forgotten . He studied about rituals to try to make this possible , but he put " Honest " away to protect him . By using dark rituals , he attempted to give himself power and the ability to forget those he loved . Atticus witnessed the final portion of the ritual , just as Yusuke left him the mask card , no longer needing it himself . Fujiwara ended up in the World of Darkness , while Atticus eventually became possessed by Nightshroud , the entity that Fujiwara attempted to summon , via the mask . Honest . Yusuke himself hasn ' t appeared to the rest of the characters , instead a Duel Spirit named Honest appears looking exactly like him , but is initially believed by everyone to be Yusuke . He is being targeted by an evil entity named Trueman . He arrives at Duel Academy in an attempt to find out information on Fujiwara ' s disappearance , and uses his powers to trick people into believing that they ' ve known him for years . He also seems keen on preventing anyone from finding out anything about him , as he attempts to hypnotize Jaden Yuki to make him think that they were long time friends ( not caring that Jaden had just saved him ) , which doesn ' t work because of the power Jaden gained from Yubel , and he retreats when Jaden tries ask him who he is . Following this encounter , Jaden asks Axel Brodie to gather all available information on Yusuke ( not aware that this Yusuke wasn ' t the real one ) . Through this , he is able to confirm that no student by the name of Yusuke Fujiwara is currently enrolled in Duel Academy - Yusuke ' s name is instead listed among the Abandoned Dorm ' s missing students . He later reappears in the Abandoned Dorm ' s duel arena , and Jaden identifies what everyone thought was Yusuke as the Duel Spirit Honest . He is later destroyed by Trueman when he sacrifices himself to help Jaden , but Jaden adds him to his Deck and uses him in his rematch against Trueman . While in disguise as Yusuke , Honest possessed a variety of supernatural powers ranging from teleportation , starting fires with his mind , sensing darkness , and projecting shock waves . He also has the power to hypnotize people , and by extension , make people forget about him . Those with significant power can easily resist , like Jaden infused with Yubel ' s power . Nightshroud . Although many assumed he was dead after the events in the Abandoned Dorm , Yusuke is later revealed to be alive and affiliated with the real Nightshroud — the mastermind behind Trueman ' s siege on Domino City and Duel Academy . He is challenged by Atticus to a Duel after virtually everyone at Duel Academy is defeated . Atticus loses and is absorbed into the World of Darkness . Afterwards , Yusuke Duels against Jaden and Jesse Anderson in a Battle Royal . During the Duel he tried to make them turn on each other ; however he was surprised to discover that they actually " wanted " to Duel each other , but only in order to defeat him . He was enraged by their friendship , claiming it was worthless . Honest then appeared , trying to make Yusuke remember the past when he had friends . He denied ever remembering them , not even remembering Honest . He defeats Jesse , but Jaden summons " Rainbow Neos " to defeat him . Honest then exorcises Nightshroud from Yusuke ' s body and he is later revived after Jaden defeats the real Nightshroud . During the Academy ' s graduation ceremony , he apologized to Atticus and everyone else about what he had done as Nightshroud . Atticus then explains that his friends would never forget him and that they forgive him . Yusuke then smiles and thanks everyone for their support . Deck . While under Nightshroud ' s control , Fujiwara plays a " Clear " Deck , which focuses on the use of his Field Spell Card " Clear World " to cripple his opponent ' s monsters while his own monsters , immune to its effects ( since they have no Attribute while on the field ) , overwhelm the opposition with a combination of special effects and brute force . This Deck itself is a reflection of Nightshroud ' s beliefs : individuality brings suffering , while nihilism relieves it . He is a very powerful duelist , as Atticus stated that Fujiwara was stronger than both Zane and himself . " Honest " was shown to be in his Deck prior to his involvement with Nightshroud but he removed it in order to protect the Duel Spirit .
