Yugo Yugo , spelled Hugo in the Japanese version , is a character in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " anime . He is the Synchro Dimension counterpart of Yuya Sakaki ( Standard Dimension ) , Yuri ( Fusion Dimension ) and Yuto ( Xyz Dimension ) , and one of Zarc ' s reincarnations . Yugo is a Turbo Duel ist and was mistakenly notorious among members of the Resistance as a " Fusion follower " ( " minion " in the Japanese version ) mostly due to his name sounding similar to the Japanese word for " Fusion " . Yugo is persistently in pursuit of Yuri , however , due to confusions of their similar faces and misunderstandings , he initially chased after Yuto in search of Rin , only to be informed of his mistake by Zuzu Boyle . Design . Appearance . Yugo has the same face as his dimensional counterparts . Just like the three of them , his hair is dual - colored , with yellow bangs swept to the right and blue in the back . He has greenish - blue eyes . He wears a white jacket with red borders and yellow stripes on the sleeves , along with a white jumpsuit that has red , blue , and yellow stripes that meet in the center in a chevron pattern , white gloves , shoulder , elbow and knee pads , and white , red , and gray boots . He also wears a white helmet , which is discarded when its visor breaks during his Duel against Rin . Yugo , and his dimensional counterparts ' attire are all based on the color of the cards that their dimensions are based on . As such , Yugo wears white like the color of Synchro Monster s . Unlike his counterparts however , the color of his hair does not correlate with his dimension , being blue and blonde rather than white . Personality . Yugo is very impulsive and short - tempered , especially when his name is pronounced incorrectly . Because of this , Yugo frequently got into many fights against others , including Yuto , who incorrectly stated he was a pawn of Fusion , and the Bandit Warrior Academy Duelist s who mistook him for Yuya Sakaki . However , he recognizes that his short - temper can go too far , and apologized to Zuzu when it made her upset . Once he has set his mind on something , he becomes quite unaware of his surroundings , not noticing Yuya despite the latter talking throughout his Duel with Yuto , though he was able to recall him later after stopping and thinking about the event . This extends to his Dueling to the point that it can affect his performance , though as Yugo himself has noted when he is able to Duel seriously he does so with great skill . Yugo believes that a by - the - books strategy is the wrong way to go while Dueling and that the flow of a Duel can change any minute , to the point where he is willing to trust in and believe in luck if he needs to . Yugo harbors feelings for his childhood friend , Rin , getting embarrassed and blushed when Zuzu thought Rin was his girlfriend . In the dub , he sometimes refers to Rin as ' RinRin ' . He occasionally continues to mistake Zuzu for Rin , such as when he signed her up for the Friendship Cup , and when he saw Zuzu wearing Rin ' s clothes . This confusion extends to another of Rin ' s counterparts , Celina . Despite his short temper and rudeness , Yugo is a kind person at heart , especially towards Rin and Zuzu . While Dueling , he shows a tendency to remain on his Duel Runner even if the Duel is not a Turbo Duel . Voice / Mannerisms . Yugo speaks in a rough and somewhat vulgar manner comparable to that of a delinquent , especially when he is angry ( often referring to others as " Temē " and often using the curse , " Chikusho ! " , which are rude forms of " You " and " Damn " in Japanese ) . In the dub , Yugo ' s voice is somewhat similar to Yuya ' s but is deeper . He uses the personal pronoun " ore " . Abilities . Yugo is able to travel through different dimensions with the power of " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " , though he has no control over when or where he travels to . Yugo believed that " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " felt his desire to save Rin but later realized that " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " guided him to where Yuri and later Yuto were . Like his dimensional counterparts , Yugo can be Awakened . Unlike Yuto and Yuya who appear unable to remember what happened when entering the state , Yugo appears to able to retain a glimpse of his memory while awakened as shown when he was able to remember Yuya who was protecting Yuto at the time . He loses this ability after Riley Akaba removed Zarc ' s soul from him . He is a highly skilled Duel Runner driver , he frequently does highly acrobatic maneuvers when Dueling and can do long jumps when riding outside Duels . Yugo displays on occasion the strange ability to Synchronize with his dimensional counterparts when he is Dueling . In this state , Yugo and his counterparts ' personalities are mixed together , causing both parties to adopt some mannerisms of the other , including speaking the same words and moving in the same manner . The first instance of this happened with Yuya , where Yugo copies Yuya ' s catchphrase and grabbed an Action Card in the same way Yuya would . When the Duel ends , both Yugo and his counterpart snap out of it and appear to be unaware of what transpired in that brief period of time . He later displayed the ability to synchronize with two , and even all of his counterparts on the same occasion . Like his dimensional counterparts , Yugo possesses an unknown darkness inside him . However so far , Yugo ' s darkness has only appeared when he is in a synchronized awakening with his counterparts . Etymology . His name is a pun in Japanese , as 「 " ユ " ーゴ 」 ( " Yūgo " ) sounds very similar to 「 融合 」 ( " Yūgō " : literally translates as " Fusion " ) . Because of this , Yugo is always offended whenever anyone calls him " Fusion " or even pronounces the word , and constantly believed that Yuto kept getting his name wrong whenever he referred to him as " Pawn of Fusion " . In the dub , as the pun in his Japanese name doesn ' t translate , he is instead referred to derisively by variations of his own name ( such as " No - Go " or " Slow - Go " ) . This pun is also reflected by his Deck ' s archetype , " Speedroid " , which is a sub - archetype of the " roid " archetype : A Fusion Summon - oriented archetype . His English spelling in the Japanese version , " Hugo " , means " bright in mind and spirit " or simply " intelligent " . For this character , his name is spelled in Katakana , so it has no actual Japanese meanings . Biography . History . When Yugo was growing up , he and Rin were raised as orphans and lived in the slums of New Domino City as Commons , where they Dueled together as children . Since then , they decided to compete in the Friendship Cup and challenge the Duel King Jack Atlas to a Turbo Duel . They built a Duel Runner together in order to achieve their goal . A few years later however , Rin found herself being targeted by an agent of Duel Academy , Yuri , with Yugo desperately looking for her . By the time he found Rin , Yuri had already captured her , and Yugo was shocked to see that Yuri had the same face that he had . Yuri proceeded to activate " Violet Flash " and escape . Once they disappeared , Yugo ' s " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " shined and transported him to a destroyed Heartland City , where he encountered Yuto . Mistaking Yuto for Yuri , he Duel ed against Yuto . Yuto brought out " Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon " , while Yugo Summon ed " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " in response , but fled when Shay and several other Duelists arrived . Arc League Championship . Yugo arrived in the Standard Dimension , crashing into a streetlight with his Duel Runner and complaining about it . Recognizing Yuto , he quickly challenged him to a Duel , having been waiting to defeat him for a while , completely ignoring the presence of Yuya Sakaki , a third person who resembled him . Yuto called him a Pawn of Fusion ( " no - go " in the dub ) , much to Yugo ' s annoyance , protesting that his " name " was Yugo . Dueling atop his Duel Runner , he traded blows evenly with Yuto , claiming that he would take back what was precious that Yuto had stolen from him . He brought out " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " , which had guided him both to Heartland and the Standard Dimension , and deliberately left the required monsters for Yuto ' s " Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon " on the field so that it could be Summoned next turn . Once both dragons were on their field , they eyes of their respective Duelists glowed , as if possessed . Despite the clear advantage the effect of " Clear Wing " had over " Dark Rebellion " , Yuto was able to gain the upper hand . Yuya managed to stop Yuto from attacking further , but couldn ' t snap Yugo out of it . Yugo used the effect of " Clear Wing " to win the Duel the next turn , and was then released from his possession , unaware of what had happened . Yugo was transported away by a bright light afterwards . Yugo later appeared in the Arctic Zone , having been transported by " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " during the Arc League Championship Junior Youth Battle Royal . Seeing the frozen landscape , he wondered if he had traveled into the future , to a time when humanity was extinct . He then spotted Bandit Warrior Academy Duelists Nagi and Taka , who mistook Yugo for Yuya , and they challenged him to a Duel . This angered him , and he defeated them both in their Duel before attempting to question them further . Unfortunately , both Nagi and Taka lost consciousness after the Duel , prompting Yugo to look for someone else . Yugo went to the Volcano Zone and was confused by the dimension ' s " unusual landscape " , still unaware that it was Solid Vision . There he noticed the Obelisk Force wiping out the Senior Team until only Kev Ravenwood was left . He quickly identified the Obelisk Force as the ones who attacked the Xyz Dimension . Angered , he barged into the Duel ( strangely not taking the intrusion penalty ) and saved Kev just before he was defeated as well . The Obelisk Force asked him who he was . Yugo introduced himself , and the Obelisk Force thought he was an ally and his name was " Fusion " ( in the dub , the Force asked " Yugo ? Yugo where ? " ) . Out of annoyance that his name was mistaken yet again , he easily defeated the Obelisk Force by turning their " Ancient Armageddon Gear " against them . ( in the dub , his name was not mistaken for another , but thanks to the " You - Go " sounding of his name , he insisted that his name was " Yugo " ) . He asked Kev if he was okay , but he became irritated when Kev fled in fear without thanking him . He returned to the Iceberg Zone , where he found Zuzu after mistaking her for Rin . He hugged her and called Rin ' s name out in joy , while Zuzu noticed the similarity of Yugo with Yuya . Remembering that Yuri mentioned Rin ' s name , Zuzu asked Yugo if he knew who Rin was , confusing Yugo . Yuya ' s arrival in the vicinity activated Zuzu ' s bracelet , teleporting Yugo and Zuzu away . Friendship Cup . Zuzu ' s bracelet transported her and Yugo back to the Synchro Dimension , Yugo ' s homeland . Concerned for Zuzu ' s safety , he tried to wake her up , and was unprepared for her startled response to him being close to her , resulting in Zuzu pushing Yugo into his Duel Runner . After checking up on his Duel Runner , he warned Zuzu to be careful around it , and when prompted , explained that they were in New Domino City , his hometown . He was pleased when Zuzu got his name right and then angered when she asked if he was allied with the Fusion Dimension , realizing that she wasn ' t Rin , since Rin wouldn ' t have gotten his name wrong . Zuzu mentioned a Duelist who had kidnapped Rin , much to Yugo ' s interest . He asked where the Duelist was now , but Zuzu admitted that she didn ' t know and explained that he ' d vanished when Yugo showed up . Yugo explained to Zuzu that she was in the Synchro Dimension , and reassured her that he ' d been surprised the first time he ' d crossed dimensions as well , which had been after Rin was kidnapped , upon which he ' d found himself in the Xyz Dimension ' s Heartland City . Zuzu informed Yugo that Yuto hadn ' t been the person that had kidnapped Rin , and that he was in fact trying to find someone precious to him as well , like Rin was to Yugo . Yugo was quite surprised , and he denied , blushing , that Rin was his girlfriend when Zuzu asked him about it . Yugo explained to Zuzu that " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " had transported him across dimensions , and they realized that the Duelist that had kidnapped Rin must have been nearby the first time he Dueled Yuto . Zuzu explained about her and Yugo ' s dimensional counterparts , suggesting that those with the same face may be drawn to one another , and Yugo remembered in shock that the Duelist that had been with Yuto had had the same face as him . Zuzu explained about the Four Dimensions , as well as the goals of Duel Academy and the Professor . Pleased that he knew where Rin was , Yugo suggested that they storm Duel Academy using Zuzu ' s bracelet , but Zuzu explained that it only worked when Yuya was around and broke down in tears . Yugo apologized , handed Zuzu a handkerchief and admitted that he couldn ' t control " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " either , and that he needed Rin to keep him in line . They were interrupted when the Topsiders finally noticed them , and they fled on Yugo ' s Runner . Yugo explained the competitive society of the City to Zuzu , as well as the history of the Duel King , Jack Atlas , whom he and Rin had idolized and built their Duel Runner for the purpose of Turbo Dueling . Officer 227 arrived , and Yugo attempted to outpace him , explaining that their trespass would mean being sent to the Facility if they were caught . The Duel Chaser forced a Turbo Duel , and Yugo asked for Zuzu ' s name , since he hadn ' t before . Telling her to hold on tight , he began the Turbo Duel . Yugo took the first turn and quickly Summoned his " Hi - Speedroid Kendama " to deal 500 damage to his opponent . Zuzu quickly complained that it ' d be dangerous to Duel while driving . Melissa Trail soon appeared to broadcast the Turbo Duel , prompting Yugo to ask 227 to not keep the audience waiting . 227 used his " Goyo " Synchro Monster s to steal Yugo ' s monsters , much to his annoyance . When Yugo was seemingly about be defeated by his own " Hi - Speedroid Chanbara " , he countered with " Dice Roll Battle " to bring out " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " and force 227 ' s monsters to attack it . Yugo also used the effect of " Chanbara " to activate the effect of " Clear Wing " and defeat 227 . Sector Security had prepared a barricade to stop Yugo , but he effortlessly jumped over it and escaped . Yugo and Zuzu were branded as wanted fugitives in New Domino City afterwards . The next day , Yugo and Zuzu attempted to warn New Domino City about the Interdimensional Domination but no one believed them , prompting Yugo to prove their claims by attempting to travel dimensions with " Clear Wing " only to fail embarrassingly . For a few days the duo posted some flyers about the upcoming War between dimensions , which seemingly didn ' t work either . Yugo signed up himself and Zuzu for the Friendship Cup without telling the latter , when he did he accidentally listed Zuzu as " Rin " but then corrected himself . Later he offered Zuzu to stay at Rin ' s room and commented that she ' d stink if she kept wearing the same clothes for a while ( in the Dub , this is replaced by a more suggestive comment with Yugo jokingly said that " her clothes will walk away on their own " ) , earning him a smack in the face from Zuzu ' s paper fan . When he saw Zuzu wearing Rin ' s clothes , he once again mistook her for Rin , and explained that the Friendship Cup would be a good chance to earn credibility about the war between dimensions . Yugo rode recklessly with Zuzu to the Duel Palace where the Friendship Cup would be taking place , annoyed that they were missing the opening and reassuring Zuzu that the Duel Chasers wouldn ' t arrest participants in the Cup . He arrived eagerly in time for Jack Atlas ' s exhibition match , and to both his and Zuzu ' s surprise , they learned that Yuya Sakaki was Jack ' s opponent , confirmed when Zuzu ' s braclet reacted to the presence of Yuya and Yugo and when Yuya performed a Pendulum Summon , which Yugo witnessed for the first time . Yugo was excited for the Duel , but sensitive enough to feel sorry for Yuya , who would likely be utterly defeated by Jack in a deliberate show of power . True to Yugo ' s word , Yuya was indeed defeated . Zuzu ran down to Yuya in worry with Yugo following her . Sector Security officers attempted to arrest them , but they were saved by servants of the High Council and taken to their quarters for the tournament . Yugo was appreciative of the luxury of the quarters , failing to notice his " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " reacting to the presence of the nearby " Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " and " Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon " . He was worried about Zuzu during her Duel with Chojiro Tokumatsu given her inexperience on a Duel Runner , and relieved when she won , though he noted that Zuzu hadn ' t talked about the dimensional war . Yugo was disappointed that he didn ' t get to Duel on the first day , but he was appreciative of the dinner given to him by the High Council . He was surprised when Yuya revealed the fate of the losers in the Friendship Cup the next day : being sent to the Underground Labor Facility . Yugo was finally up to Duel the next day , facing Sylvio Sawatari , vowing to talk about the dimensional war . Both Duelists told the other not to hold back , and Sylvio accidentally managed to pass Yugo for the first turn , opening up with a Pendulum Summon . Yugo commented that Sylvio wasn ' t all talk , and he brought out " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " on his first turn , and then backed it up with Continuous Trap Card s to protect it in combination with its effect . Sylvio managed to bypass these restrictions by using his low - Level " Abyss Actor " monsters and protecting them from the effect of " Clear Wing " , before eventually lowering the ATK of " Clear Wing " to 0 . During the Duel , Yugo ' s mind synched with Yuya ' s , with both of them making Yugo ' s moves , and Yugo using some of Yuya ' s mannerisms . Knowing that he needed to draw a specific card , Yugo ( and by extension Yuya ) drew " Speedroid Double Yoyo " to revive the Tuner Monster " Speedroid Red - Eyed Dice " to bring out " Hi - Speedroid Hagoita " . He used its Level - modification effects to allow " Clear Wing " to destroy all of Sylvio ' s monsters and attack directly for the win . The experience caused Yugo to forget his promise to talk about the war . Sylvio came over to tell him to answer to the crowd ' s cheers , and then finally realized that Yugo resembled Yuya . Before they could talk further , the staff came over and removed Sylvio from the arena . Yugo later grimly watched the brutal Duel between Shay Obsidian and Dennis McField . Friendship Cup Finals . Yugo eagerly watched the Duel between Zuzu and Sergey Volkov . Although he was proud of Zuzu , he was apprehensive , knowing that Sergey must have had a strategy planned . He was proven right when Sergey turned the tables and violently defeated Zuzu , with the impact throwing her body into a building . With Zuzu ' s fate unknown to him , Yugo was reduced to tears , and he vowed to carry on her feelings . Prior to his Duel with Celina , he vowed to win the Duel for both Rin and Zuzu . When he saw Celina in person for the first time , he mistook her for Rin and attempted to hug her multiple times , each ending with Celina punching or kicking him . He then started off the Duel with a rocky start , with him Summoning only " Speedroid Den - Den Daiko Duke " . After getting attacked by Celina ' s " Lunalight Cat Dancer " , Yugo managed to regain his focus and gave his all in the Duel . He remembered Rin ' s advice and recounted to Celina what Rin often told him . During the Duel , he debated with Celina over the value of an adaptive strategy rather than a planned one . The course began changing when Celina was in a pinch , forcing Yugo to use the manual setting of his Duel Runner to prevent himself from crashing . After Celina Summoned " Lunalight Panther Dancer " , Yugo was forced to try his luck in Synchro Summoning " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " with " Re - dyce - cle " and he succeeded . After Summoning his dragon , Yugo synchronized with Yuya again and yelled the latter ' s catchphrase . After Yugo defeated Celina , he noticed Yuri and recognized him as the one who kidnapped Rin . When Yuri left , Yugo started to chase him but escaped after jumping off the truck onto a passing boat . While he was searching for Yuri , Yugo felt his chest burning and " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " began to glow , which caused Yugo and all of his counterparts to awaken and synchronize with Yuya during his Duel against Crow Hogan . While he was in sync with his counterparts , Yugo began to exhibit a dark aura around his body and he passed out after Yuya won the Duel . Yugo found Yuri on the rooftop and was infuriated when Yuri pronounced his name wrong . Yugo demanded Rin ' s location , and Yuri in turn asked about Zuzu ' s whereabouts . Tearfully remembering Zuzu ' s fate , Yugo replied that Zuzu was in his heart . Annoyed at this , Yuri replied that Rin was there too and activated " Violet Flash " to flee from Yugo again . Yugo found Yuri again in an abandoned subway and challenged him to a Duel , but Yuri refused , claiming that he was busy . Yuri ' s comments alerted Yugo to Celina ' s presence , surprising Yugo as he had believed Celina to be sent underground after her loss to him . Upon learning that Celina had lost to Yugo , Yuri accepted Yugo ' s challenge . Yugo began by Synchro Summoning " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " , and Yuri summoned " Starving Venom Fusion Dragon " in response , and with all of the Four Dimension Dragons present on the field , they both ended up awakening and synchronizing again with Yuya and Yuto . While synced , Yugo and his counterparts began shouting that they had waited for this time to revive and become one . Zuzu arrived looking for Yuya , and her bracelet teleported Yugo and Yuri away , leaving their Duel unfinished . Owing to his absence , Jean - Michel Roget declared him disqualified and his spot in the Friendship Cup was taken by Jack Atlas . Heartland City . Yugo was transported to the Fusion Dimension and he continued his search for Yuri . He found him at the docks of a City , but his arrival activated the power of Zuzu ' s bracelet , transporting Yuri away . When Yugo noticed Zuzu he was delighted and tearfully attempted to hug her , but instead earned a smack from her paper fan . Yugo expressed his relief that she was alive as he thought that she had died in her Duel against Sergey . Yugo informed Zuzu that Duel Academy was located near the city , and thus Rin was also present , and Zuzu added that Lulu and Celina were also at Duel Academy , explaining that Celina had been recaptured in the Synchro Dimension . Yugo went with Zuzu and Alexis to You Show Duel School , where they convinced Yusho Sakaki to battle Duel Academy . Dennis McField arrived with squad of Duel Academy soldiers to capture Zuzu ; Yugo recognized Dennis from his Duel with Shay Obsidian and was prepared to Duel him when Dennis challenged Yusho . Yusho distracted Dennis during their Duel , allowing everyone to escape . Yugo and Zuzu fled on Yugo ' s Duel Runner , but they were quickly cornered . Zuzu dismounted to Duel and Yugo vowed to protect her , but Zuzu ' s bracelet activated and teleported him away . Yugo found himself teleported into a classroom and he yelled at the teacher that his name was not Fusion . Breaking out and speeding off while wondering where he was , he eventually arrived at the harbor and hid behind a shipping container . Yusho and Alexis arrived with Kite Tenjo , and when Kite was about to run off , Yugo called out to him . However , Kite was a member of the Resistance and mistook Yugo as a Fusion follower , and he pinned Yugo to the ground . Yugo angrily protested that his name was Yugo , not Fusion , and Kite released him and told him to hurry before running off . Alexis asked Yugo how he arrived before they did , and he explained that Zuzu ' s bracelet teleported him . Alexis explained that he was at Duel Academy and that Rin was in the Eastern tower . Yugo immediately sped off to the top of the tower where Apollo was guarding the entrance , who challenged him to a Duel . Apollo Fusion Summon ed " Sun Protector " and used its effect and his Protector ' s Shield Token s to weaken Yugo and " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " , but this allowed Yugo to use " Speedroid Gum Prize " to Synchro Summon " Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon " and power it up through a draw of chance . He defeated Apollo , and broke down the door to Rin ' s room . Reunited with Rin at last , Yugo ran to hug her only to be kneed in the gut for being late to rescue her . Rin tearfully hugged him , and Yugo reassured her that it was all right As Yugo talked about his participation in the Friendship Cup with Rin , Rin cut him off and challenged him to a Duel , throwing him off the tower . Yugo landed on his Duel Runner , much to his horror and he checked to see if it was damaged . Rin approached him with a Duel Academy Duel Disk and she told him to ignore it . Yugo was shocked at Rin disregarding the feelings that she and Yugo had put into the Runner , and he eventually agreed to Duel her . Rin ' s first turn was as ruthless as Yugo remembered ; Yugo took 1500 effect damage from Rin ' s " Windwitch " monsters . He followed Rin down the steps on his Runner and wondered if Duel Academy did something to her . He brought out " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " and asked her if she remembered it only for her to use " Lost Wind " to negate its effects and halve its ATK . Seeing this , Yugo decided to make Rin remember since she was not the same person he knew anymore . Rin Special Summon ed " Fusion Parasite " , and Yugo wondered why she had that monster and was shocked when she Fusion Summoned " Windwitch - Crystal Bell " . The attack of " Crystal Bell " destroyed both " Clear Wing " and Yugo ' s Duel Runner , much to his utter horror . Rin ordered him to stand up as their Duel was still going on , and Yugo became furious and screamed at Rin for forgetting their dream . He begged her to remember , but Rin told Yugo to surrender as his LP was close to 0 and his Duel Runner had been destroyed . Yugo refused as he had finally found her after traveling through dimensions . He picked up the Duel Disk from his destroyed Duel Runner and equipped it to his arm , declaring that he would bring Rin back to normal . He Synchro Summoned " Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon " and destroyed " Crystal Bell " , blasting Rin away . Yugo ran to her and held her in his arms . Much to his joy , Rin apparently regained her senses and called out to him . However , Rin activated the effect of " Crystal Bell " to bring back " Winter Bell " and " Fusion Parasite " and Fusion Summoned a second " Crystal Bell " . Noting a dark aura surrounding both Rin and " Fusion Parasite " , Yugo wondered if " Fusion Parasite " was the reason why Rin acted like this . Rin defeated Yugo with the effect of " Crystal Bell " and left him lying unconscious outside the tower . Aster Phoenix found Yugo as he woke up , and he explained to Yugo that Rin and Lulu were both being controlled and that they would have to defeat the person controlling them . Yugo mentioned to Aster that a bug was controlling Rin , causing Aster to remember something . Yugo and Aster headed into Duel Academy , running through the hallways . Duel Academy . Yugo and Aster found Yuri preparing to seal Sora Perse into a card . Yugo confronted Yuri and told Aster to go find Rin while he defeated Yuri . Infuriated when Yuri pronounced his name wrong again , Yugo quickly brought out " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " . He entered a synchronized awakening with his counterparts when Yuri brought out " Starving Venom Fusion Dragon " and they started shouting that they would become one again . Elsewhere , Yuya brought out " Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " and " Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon " , causing " Clear Wing " to resonate with them and " Starving Venom " while he and Yuri continued shouting that they would become one . Yugo negated the attack of " Starving Venom " with " Burning Sonic " and raised the ATK of " Clear Wing " . Aster returned with Kite and the awakened Yugo warned Aster and Kite not to get in his way , but they joined the Duel . Although Yugo was able to inflict damage , Kite countered all of his moves and took control of his and Yuri ' s dragons with the effect of " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon " . Yugo was able to use the effect of " Speedroid Skull Marbles " to defend himself . Aster and Yugo traded blows through card effects after Aster Fusion Summon ed " Destiny HERO - Dystopia " , and Aster reminded Yugo that Dueling was for bringing smiles and urged him to remember Rin , causing Yugo to start showing signs of breaking free from his awakening . Yugo brought out " Speedroid Maliciousmagnet " and used the effect of " Maliciousmagnet " to take back " Clear Wing " to Synchro Summon " Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon " . Yugo proceeded to attack " Dystopia " with " Crystal Wing " , with the two monsters ' effects clashing until Kite ' s " Split Guard " protected " Dystopia " . Aster explained to Yugo that he and Yuya were one person before and should have the same spirit for desiring Duels with smiles , but Yugo protested that the statement made no sense . He continued his attack , but Aster used the effect of " Destiny HERO - Dreamer " from the Graveyard to protect " Dystopia " and Special Summon itself . While the effect allowed " Crystal Wing " to attack again , Aster fused his two monsters into " Destiny HERO - Dusktopia " , defending himself from " Crystal Wing " . Yugo looked at the shining form of " Dusktopia " and he fell to his knees . Breaking out of his awakening , he snapped at Aster that his name was Yugo . Yugo admitted that that had been dangerous as he had come close to forgetting himself , and he warned Yuri that he would defeat him for taking Rin . To his surprise , Yuri used " Super Polymerization " to Fusion Summon " Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon " . When Yuri used the effect of " Greedy Venom " on " Dusktopia " , Yugo used the effect of " Crystal Wing " to negate the effect of " Greedy Venom " and destroy it . However , Yuri used the second effect of " Greedy Venom " to destroy every monster on the field and inflict damage equal to their original ATK . Aster used the effect of " Dusktopia " to prevent the destruction of " Crystal Wing " , but he and Kite were defeated . Yugo called out to Aster , who told him to win , and Yugo told Yusho , who had arrived not long ago , that Kite and Aster didn ' t waste anything while vowing to Yuri once more that he would defeat him . As the effect of " Crystal Wing " wore off , Yugo attacked " Greedy Venom " , using the effect of " Crystal Wing " again . Yuri reminded him of the effects of " Greedy Venom " , which destroyed " Crystal Wing " and inflicted its ATK as damage and let Yuri Special Summon " Greedy Venom " again by banishing another of its Fusion Materials . Yugo told Yuri that Aster and Kite taught him that victory didn ' t come without pain . Yugo used " Extra Shave Reborn " to bring back " Clear Wing " , then Special Summoned " Speedroid Rubberband Plane " and used its effect to weaken " Greedy Venom " . However , he then used the effect of " Clear Wing " to negate the effect of " Rubberband Plane " , destroy it , and strengthen " Clear Wing " . " Clear Wing " destroyed " Greedy Venom " , but Yuri used the effect of " Predaplant Drosophyllum Hydra " in his Graveyard to banish " Predaplant Flytrap " and return " Starving Venom " to the Graveyard to halve the damage . He was surprised when Yuri used " Extra Shave Reborn " and the effect of " Starving Venom " to negate the effect of " Clear Wing " and steal it . Yugo was defeated by Yuri , who used the stolen effect of " Clear Wing " against him . Yuri complimented his Dueling , and Yugo asked him who he thought he was . To his surprise , Yuri apologized to him for dismissing him and his " Clear Wing " as it resonated with " Starving Venom " . Yugo awakened and he declared that they would become one before being absorbed by Yuri . During Yuri and Yuya ' s Duel , Yugo ' s spirit awakened again when the Four Dimension Dragons resonated with each other . Yugo continued to declare that they would become one as Yuri urged Yuya to surrender and become one with them . When Yuya took control of " Clear Wing " , Yugo appeared next to him to help him defeat Yuri . He was then absorbed by Yuya to fuse back into the Supreme King Z - ARC . Following the battle with Zarc , Yugo ' s fate was unknown but Leo theorized that Zarc ' s fragments had revived as Yuya . When Yuya was pushed into a corner by Jack after refusing to use the Four Dimension Dragons , Yugo , Yuto , and Yuri appeared before Yuya and told him they and their dragons didn ' t want to lose . They also asked Yuya why he was ignoring the dragons ' feelings and told him that he should be able to hear the dragons ' voices with their help . Yugo ' s spirit appeared alongside Yuya as he Synchro Summoned " Clear Wing " for the first time . When Yuya wanted to borrow their power , Yugo told him they were originally one person . When Yuya used " Odd - Eyes Synchro Gate " , Yugo ' s appeared alongside Yuya again as he Synchro Summoned " Odd - Eyes Wing Dragon " . When " Wing Dragon " was destroyed by " D / D / D Superdoom King Darkness Armageddon " , Yugo told Yuto he was counting on him . After Yuya defeated Declan , Yugo ' s spirit appeared when Rin ' s spirit was revived . Relationships . Rin . Rin is Yugo ' s childhood friend and met when they were raised in a facility together and became best friends . They built Yugo ' s Duel Runner together . He blushed and stammered after Zuzu made the assumption that she was his girlfriend . Whenever Yugo finds one of Rin ' s counterparts he immediately attempts to hug them happily thinking they ' re Rin , often to their annoyance . Yuya Sakaki . Yugo ' s physical encounters with Yuya were brief , though they have been mentally synchronized . When this happens , Yugo takes on Yuya ' s mannerisms and Dueling style . While Yugo seems unaware of this , Yuya had his suspicions about this happening after Yugo ' s Turbo Duel with Celina .

During the Duel with Jack , Yugo and his other counterparts , showed their support to Yuya and his spirit appeared beside Yuya when he Synchro Summoned " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " for the first time . He later supported Yuya during his final Duel against Declan Akaba . Yuto . Yugo and Yuto ' s relationship was a hate - filled rivalry based on misunderstanding . When Yugo and Yuto first met , Yugo assumed he was Yuri , who had just kidnapped Rin . Because of this , and Yuto getting his name wrong , Yugo and Yuto engaged in a Duel that was cut off . Yugo demonstrated an intense rivalry with Yuto for his perceived crimes , though he was not above complimenting him . Yugo is later shocked when Zuzu rectified the mistake by revealing Yuri ' s existence to Yugo . After they were absorbed into Yuya their hatred vanished and they interacted quite well . Yuri . Though he mistook Yuto for him , Yuri ' s act of abducting Rin was the reason he traveled the dimensions , and thus making Yuri the man Yugo hates the most . After learning Yuri was his quarry , he proceeded to pursue him from the Synchro Dimension to the Fusion Dimension . His hatred of Yuri is strong enough to cast aside his goal to find Rin to beat Yuri up . Unfortunately , Yuri initially considering him an annoyance before learning their true origins as Zarc ' s incarnations . Yugo subconsciously acted to his past life ' s design before being subjugated long enough for Yuri to absorb him . Yuri and Yugo seem to have put their differences aside after they were absorbed into Yuya . Zuzu Boyle . Zuzu was saved from Yuri by Yugo after he mistook her for Rin . Yugo and Zuzu developed a quick friendship during their time in the Synchro Dimension . Yugo attempted to help out Zuzu with the issue of the dimensional war , such as trying to warn the citizens about the Fusion Dimension and getting annoyed when others laughed at her . He also signed her up for the Friendship Cup , believing it would be a good idea to convince others about the threat . Zuzu has been frequently annoyed by Yugo , due to him mistaking her for Rin , causing her to use her fan to hit him , or threatening to do so . Like Yuya , Yugo also cares about Zuzu as his friend . After witnessing Zuzu brutally losing to Sergey Volkov and watching her crash into a building , Yugo started to cry but said that he would carry on her feelings . He is seen crying again when he discusses it with Yuri . When he found her in the Fusion Dimension he tearfully attempted to hug her , relieved that she was alive . Sylvio Sawatari . Yugo and Sylvio Sawatari were opponents in the Friendship Cup . They were friendly to one another and they complimented each other ' s Dueling skills . They left on friendly terms when Sylvio encouraged Yugo to answer the cheers of the crowd after their fiery Duel . Celina . Upon meeting Celina for the first time , Yugo mistook her for Rin and constantly tried to hug her , despite her constant rejection . His confusion actually affected his performance initially in their Duel , but he soon got himself on track . Yugo finds Celina ' s by - the - books strategies to be the wrong way to Duel , explaining to her the justification of his perspective on Dueling . Zarc . Zarc merely viewed Yugo and his counterparts as " alter - egos " meant to ensure his revival . However , Yugo aided Yuya in resisting Zarc ' s control once Supreme King Dragon Zarc was destroyed by Ray to give her an opening to finish Zarc off . Riley Akaba then used the Natural Energy Cards to separate Zarc from his still merged incarnations , Yugo eventually appearing before Yuya in his mind during his Duel against Jack to give him his support . During Yuya ' s Duel with Declan Akaba , he and his counterparts begin to understand their past life better and resolve to free him from his suffering . Deck . Yugo uses a " Speedroid " Deck , focused on Synchro Summon tactics . He primarily uses cards such as " Speedroid Double Yoyo " and " Speedroid Terrortop " to swarm the field for multiple Synchro Summons . He also includes several cards that allow him to Synchro Summon using materials in the Graveyard , as well as cards that banish " Speedroids " from his Graveyard for various beneficial effects . By his own admission , Yugo is more willing to trust in his luck and expect the flow of a Duel to change than have a set plan at the start . After Summoning his signature " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " , he focuses on using it in Lockdown strategies with cards like " Dragon ' s Bind " and " Follow Wing " . In addition , he tends to use cards to prevent Clear Wing ' s destruction , such as " Burning Sonic " and " Miracle Mirror " . He also attempts to activate the effect of " Clear Wing " as many times as possible , even by targeting it with his own monster effects or giving the opponent ' s monsters an effect and then forcing them to activate it .
