Gore is shirtless , with only dark pants and a golden belt with a red stone in the center . His boots are buckled with gold plates . On his arms and abdomen . he also wears the gold plates and dark , finger - less gloves . Gore does not use an Avatar in LINK VRAINS so his outfit remains the same .

Personality . Gore is shown to have a big ego and pride for being a popular Charisma Duelist and was angered when Playmaker was , unwittingly , stealing his spotlight . He seems to have a soft spot for children , as he often volunteers and donates to them at the orphanage where he grew up . He repeatedly makes it clear that he does not Duel for money , as he donates most of it and lives in a rather small warehouse . According to his manager , Gore prioritizes the audience ' s entertainment over winning Duels immediately . Etymology . " Onizuka " ( 鬼塚 ) is written with the characters of " ogre " and " mound " . " Go " ( 豪 ) can be translated as " strong " or " manly " . His dub name , Gore , has the two first letters switched from " ogre " . Abilities . Gore can transform himself to look like other avatars in LINK VRAINS . Biography . History . When he was little , Gore was in an orphanage . He met Makoto Kimishima , another orphan , whom he protected from bullies . Gore wanted to convince him to stand up for himself , but Makoto refused , being too kind for that . Despite their differences , Gore and Makoto became good friends . Hanoi . Gore appeared in LINK VRAINS when an unnamed Knight of Hanoi attacked . He watched Playmaker ' s Duel against a Knight of Hanoi and was angered that Playmaker was stealing his spotlight . He is then shown raging in his warehouse about Playmaker ' s rising popularity . As Akira Zaizen shows up , offering a D - Board for his help in defeating Playmaker , he rejected the offer , saying that he takes orders from nobody . When Gore visited his old orphanage , the children were engrossed in videos of Playmaker , paying no attention that Gore visited . Shocked by this , Gore accepted Akira ' s offer and drew Playmaker out with a Knight of Hanoi disguise . After revealing who he really was , Gore challenged Playmaker to a Duel , declaring that the true hero of LINK VRAINS would unmask Playmaker . When SOL Technologies used a program to trap them and prevent Playmaker from logging out , Gore then announced that Playmaker could only leave by defeating him . Upon being questioned of who hired him , Gore replied that he was not telling that to a hacker and said his purpose here is to show that he is the stronger Duelist . The two began their Duel , with Gore Normal Summon ing " Gouki Suprex " and with its effect , Special Summon " Gouki Twistcobra " , ending his turn . As Playmaker brought out two monsters of his own , Gore was amused and compared the current situation to a pro - wrestling tag match , declaring that he would win by the count of 3 . He then lost half his LP by " Linkslayer " , helped by " Cyberse Wizard ' s " effect , and was brought to his knees . Gore got up before the count of three , staying true to his charisma style of deliberately putting himself in danger to heighten his audience ' s emotions . He then adds " Gouki Riscorpio " with " Suprex ' s " effect . He then activated his Skill , " Fighting Spirit " to bring back " Suprex " and Link Summon " Gouki The Great Ogre " . After increasing " Great Ogre ' s " ATK , Gore was confident it was enough to defeat Playmaker , declaring that it would be his finisher . As Gore moved in for the final blow , Playmaker activated a trap that left him with 100 life points . He then smiled when Playmaker stayed to finish the duel despite having an escape route available . When Playmaker Link Summoned Link Spider , Gore called it a weakling due to its low attack , however he became annoyed when he realized that Playmaker took his attacks deliberately to satisfy the condition for Playmaker ' s Skill , calling Playmaker a copycat of his charisma style . He was then shocked when Playmaker performed multiple Link Summons to bring out 3 Link Monster s . When Playmaker asked his Decode Talker to attack , Gore questioned the use of attacking with a monster with lower attack , but when both his Great Ogre and Decode Talker were tied in attack , he tried to save Great Ogre with its effect . However , by the third attack , Great Ogre ran out of linked monsters for its effect and is destroyed by Decode Talker , costing Gore the duel . As he got up , he laughed , having enjoyed the duel with Playmaker . When he logged out , he stumbled , feeling the fatigue from the duel . He was surprised and moved to see the children waiting and clapping for him despite his loss . He then held up his champion belt and roared , and had fun with the children , with a big grin on his face . Another . After his defeat against Playmaker , Gore studied Playmaker ' s tactics . He realized his battling style was outdated , and had to change . Regardless , he swore he ' d still fight for entertainment , while his manager thought his fans would accept if he changed his battling style . Gore saved Makoto , who was knocked unconscious and fell off a cliff in LINK VRAINS . Gore came out of the data sea and failed to wake him up , but was visited by the person that attacked Makoto . The person noted Gore was a Charisma Duelist , who wanted to know what was done to Makoto . The person explained they placed a virus into him , and if Gore wished to cure him , he ' d have to join the Knights of Hanoi to hunt Playmaker down . Gore yelled out he would not be their lackey and was disgusted that the person would let Makoto stay infected . Instead , Dr . Genome ordered him to tell Playmaker that if the latter wished to stop people from being infected , Playmaker should simply surrender himself to Dr . Genome . Genome left the offer to join the Knights of Hanoi and teleported away , infuriating Gore . Later , Gore was at the hospital , waiting at the operating room . His manager came , and Gore informed him someone called the paramedics to pick Makoto up . Gore blamed himself for Makoto ' s condition , and his manager remembered Makoto became a Duelist , and even won certain tournaments , when Gore became famous in LINK VRAINS . At this point , it is revealed that Makoto and Gore were childhood friends during their orphanage days . The two met when Gore scared off bullies who were picking on Makoto , and Makoto convinced Gore to be more gentle with fragile things , like a butterfly he captured to show Makoto . Gore realized he should ' ve stopped Makoto from his Duelist path , due to the danger it placed on him , but Gore ' s manager assured him Makoto would not give up , and it was not Gore ' s fault for this condition . The medics pushed Makoto ' s bed , and Gore was informed the doctors could not wake him up . Gore swore to save Makoto by defeating Dr . Genome . Yusaku , who overheard the conversation , left . Gore saw him and realized Yusaku was also concerned about Makoto , who attended the same school . Yusaku gave out his name to Go , and left . In LINK VRAINS , posing as Playmaker , Gore confronted the Knights of Hanoi , tossing them from their D - Board s and intercepting their programs . Dr . Genome arrived , and saw through Gore ' s disguise . Gore confirmed this , and removed his program . Dr . Genome was pleased , believing Gore would join their hunt after Playmaker . Gore denied this , replying he only came for Makoto , and knew Playmaker ' s identity . Dr . Genome doubted Gore knew Playmaker ' s identity , but agreed to Duel him , betting the virus - removal program for that identity . Before the Speed Duel began , Dr . Genome activated the Data Gale , conjuring black tornadoes that nearly threw Gore off his D - Board . Dr . Genome knew Gore Onizuka ' s tactic was to let the weak gain the upper hand , then make a counterattack , like an entertainment style . Gore confirmed this , surprising Genome for his answer . Gore rushed Genome , who summoned " Helixx Marmotroll " , which would prevent Gore ' s strategy of boosting his monster ' s ATK . Gore was disappointed by Genome ' s turn , and summoned three of his " Gouki " monsters to Link Summon " Gouki Thunder Ogre " . He used the monsters he used as Link Summon materials to search his Deck for more " Gouki " monsters . Genome anticipated this , seeing his observations were correct . Much to his fans ' surprise , Gore equipped " Gouki Thunder Ogre " with " Gouki Dark Mask " , and placed a mask on himself , declaring he ' ll fight as a heel , adding the " Dark " prefix to himself and his monster . In addition , using " Gouki Poison Mist " , Dark Onizuka spit out a purple liquid on Genome ' s face , dealing 700 LP damage . In addition , Dark Onizuka summoned another " Gouki Riscorpio " , which " Dark Thunder Ogre " threw on " Helixx Marmotroll " . The attack destroyed Dark Onizuka ' s monster , inflicting 300 LP damage on Dark Onizuka , whose " Dark Thunder Ogre " dealt 500 LP damage on Genome . Genome wanted Dark Onizuka ' s DNA , and wished to combine it with Playmaker ' s DNA to create an even more powerful DNA . Dark Onizuka was grossed out by his weirdness , and used " Fighting Spirit " Skill to return " Gouki Riscorpio " on the field . Repeating his tactic , Dark Onizuka destroyed " Gouki Riscorpio " , shaving his LP off by 300 , to inflict 500 LP damage on Genome , and boosting " Dark Thunder Ogre ' s " ATK to 3000 . " Dark Thunder Ogre " destroyed Genome ' s " Helixx Marmotroll " , but the latter ' s effect protected Genome ' s LP . Dark Onizuka claimed he evolved , though Genome remembered his defeat against Playmaker . Thus , he changed his battling style , to a dark , heel one , that would do anything to win . Genome ignored this story , and still wished to find if Dark Onizuka had some DNA he could use , for that was something that cannot be changed , and preordained one ' s destiny . Resurrecting two of his " Helixx Mamortroll " with " Graveyard Incubation " , Genome Link Summoned " Helixx Gothiclone " , and had it attack " Dark Thunder Ogre " . Both monsters could not be destroyed , and fell to the ground in a double knockout . Genome recalled this happened in the Duel against Playmaker , when " Decode Talker " and " Gouki The Great Ogre " clashed with each other . With that , Genome tributed " Helixx Dreadrat " to inflict 1200 LP damage to Dark Onizuka . Pointing out Genome ' s fact that DNA preordains one ' s destiny , Dark Onizuka swore to crush Genome for such limits . He brought out " Gouki Riscorpio " and " Gouki Twistcobra " , and used the latter ' s effect to tribute the former and boost " Dark Thunder Ogre ' s " ATK to 5300 , and played " Gouki Serpent Splash " , to deal 3100 LP damage on Genome to end the Duel . Instead , Genome ' s " Regeneration Cure " prevented that damage , and summoned a " Helixx Token " . Reviving " Helixx Dreadrat " , Genome used it and " Helixx Token " to Link Summon " Helixx Necro Darwin " . With " Gouki Twistcobra " destroyed , " Dark Thunder Ogre ' s " ATK was boosted and inflicted 500 LP damage on Genome . This time , Genome was protected by " Helixx Necro Darwin " , and its ATK was doubled . " Hellix Gothiclone " clashed with " Dark Thunder Ogre " , and the former ' s effect tribute d " Helixx Necro Darwin " to inflict damage equal to its ATK . To save himself , Dark Onizuka discarded " Gouki Octostretch " , halving down that damage , but fell on the ground , with 200 LP left . Dark Onizuka got back on his D - Board while Genome saw how tough his opponent was , and revived " Hellix Necro Darwin " to active his Preserve Species Skill , that cut Dark Onizuka ' s LP and " Dark Thunder Ogre ' s " ATK in half . Dark Onizuka crashed through a wall , having a hundred LP left , and barely able to stand on his D - Board . Genome forced Dark Onizuka ' s AI to remind about Genome ' s tactics , showing Dark Onizuka had no hope to win . Playmaker logged in to LINK VRAINS , and joined the two . Playmaker denied to have come to help Dark Onizuka , and swore if the latter lost , Playmaker would laugh at his defeat . Dark Onizuka listened to Playmaker , who believed Gore would actually evolve and defeat Dr . Genome . Dark Onizuka ' s mask dissolved , and Gore used " Gouki Face Turn " to destroy " Gouki Dark Mask " and revive his " Gouki Suprex " . With his " Gouki Thunder Ogre " and " Gouki Suprex " , Gore Link Summoned " Gouki The Master Ogre " . Using " Gouki Re - Match " , Gore Special Summoned " Gouki Twistcobra " and " Gouki Riscorpio " , then returned them to his hand to negate Genome ' s " Hellix " monster ' s effects . " Gouki Master Ogre " attacked Genome ' s Hellix monsters , and made Gore win the Duel . Gore cheered for his victory , and a moment later , took the virus program from Genome . Genome was unamused by Gore evolving from a heel to a hero , but Gore stated this was only to amuse the crowd , being the number 1 entertainer . Genome swore Gore would regret defeating him and disappeared , while Gore was focused on curing Makoto . Gore also knew Playmaker wanted to encourage him to win , rather than mock him . Gore swore to defeat him one day , but seeing the Knights of Hanoi destroying LINK VRAINS , proposed an alliance . Playmaker joined in , and so did Blue Angel . Later , Gore fought a Knight of Hanoi , having his " Gouki The Master Ogre " destroy the Knight ' s " Jack Wyvern " , finishing the Duel . Gore joined up with Playmaker , asking him about Blue Angel ' s whereabouts , but Playmaker did not know . Later , Go , at the orphanage , watched how Kitamura ' s army confronted the Knights of Hanoi . Go , disguised as a bear , went into an alley . A Knight of Hanoi pursued him , until Gore lifted his disguise off and declared a Speed Duel against the knight , having " Gouki The Great Ogre " attack him . Later , Gore watched the Duel between Blue Angel and Baira at the orphanage . He was pleased to see Blue Angel won against Baira . Gore watched as an ominous tower appeared in LINK VRAINS , and wondered what was going on . Seeing avatars being absorbed , Gore asked of the children at the orphanage to stop watching this disaster . He watched Spectre erased Kitamura , and the former threatened to do this to anyone that dared entering LINK VRAINS . Gore decided to leave the orphanage when the kids were asleep , but was confronted by his manager , who forbid Gore from entering LINK VRAINS . Gore refused to listen , and fired his manager . The manager asked for Gore to at least promise to return safely , who made that promise . Gore logged in LINK VRAINS . He quickly met up with Playmaker and Blue Angel , the latter stating she was fighting for everyone , as those people look up to her . Gore exclaimed the same , since he was the hero that needed to protect LINK VRAINS . Ai noted how full of energy Gore was . Gore noted that was the Ignis , who yelled out he had a name , Ai . Playmaker explained he came to stop the Tower of Hanoi , rescue Ghost Girl and confront the mastermind , Revolver . Blue Angel was shocked to hear Ghost Girl vanished , too , at the hands of Revolver . Gore asked about the data Ghost Girl gave to Playmaker , who reported Revolver intended to destroy LINK VRAINS , using the tower . Blue Angel realized if the network would be destroyed , then all the people absorbed would be destroyed , too , hence why Playmaker exclaimed the importance of stopping the tower ' s completion , and Ai added it would prevent him from being erased . Gore asked how to stop the tower , and was told Revolver had to be defeated . Ai warned the time limit was six hours before the tower was completed . Gore and Blue Angel promised to go there , but Playmaker replied it was better if they stayed home , in safety . This actually motivated Gore and Blue Angel to protect the children and the absorbed people , including Ghost Girl . Playmaker did not care , but asked of them to be careful . He reminded them one of them had to defeat Revolver , who , according to Ghost Girl , wielded a powerful card . The trio promised to meet up against and went in different directions . Gore continued his way towards the Tower of Hanoi . Gore was near the Tower of Hanoi , and remembered his promise to his manager . In front of the tower , Gore was confronted by Revolver , who came to stop him , and the two noted each other ' s names . Gore noted Revolver would use the tower to destroy the data , and questioned his goals . Revolver smiled , doubting Gore would understood the Knights of Hanoi ' s goals . Gore confirmed this , since he did not wish to listen gibberish from a " villain " , and would never forgive Revolver these actions . Revolver wondered why Gore came , since Blue Angel has been absorbed already . Warning the same would happen to Go , Revolver let him retreat . Gore was surprised to hear Blue Angel had been defeated , as Revolver noted Spectre defeated her , but lost to Playmaker . Revolver pointed out his enemy was Playmaker rather than Gore . Gore swore to stop Revolver , just like Playmaker did to Spectre . Revolver noted Gore did defeat one of his subordinates , and accepted the challenge . Gore remembered Playmaker ' s warning about Revolver ' s powerful card , and hoped his refined Deck should suffice . Gore started the first round by Link Summoning " Gouki Thunder Ogre " and supplying his field with three " Gouki " monsters as backup . When Playmaker arrived , Gore claimed he would be the one to defeat Revolver , who was unamused Gore was distracted by a bystander . Revolver ' s swarming tactics let him Link Summon " Triple Burst Dragon " and draw two cards with the effect of " Arrow Charge " . To belittle Go , Revolver used Gore ' s " Gouki Thunder Ogre " for the additional Normal Summon of " Triggering Wurm " , and use it to Link Summon " Topologic Bomber Dragon " . " Triggering Wurm " was revived from the GY , and Revolver used his dragon ' s effect to clear everyone ' s Main Monster Zones . To minimize the damage , Gore tributed " Gouki Twistcobra " to increase the ATK of " Gouki Thunder Ogre " to 4500 , and its effect increased its own ATK by 400 . Revolver boosted his dragon with " Link Protection " and attacked " Gouki Thunder Ogre " , which triggered his dragon ' s effect to destroy the ogre and inflict 2200 LP damage to Gore . Gore discarded " Gouki Octostretch " to halve the damage . Revolver complimented Gore for this tactic , but wondered how long would that last . Thinking of the children , Gore swore to restore LINK VRAINS . Gore Link Summoned " Gouki Shadow Ogre " next to the link of " Topologic Bomber Dragon " . The latter ' s effect was triggered , but Gore ' s ogre negated its effect and destroyed the dragon . Gore pointed out he also used Revolver ' s monster to his advantage , which made Revolver smirk . Revolver banished " Link Protection " and " Topologic Bomber Dragon " to prevent Gore from attacking , unless he had four Link Monsters . Gore made progress by reviving " Gouki Jet Ogre " and bringing out " Gouki The Great Ogre " . Gore swore to stop Revolver , who admitted his admiration for Gore ' s passion . However , he reminded he was ruthless , and used a flashing " Mirror Force " to destroy all of Gore ' s monsters , thus intentionally cancelling his efforts . Gore realized that was the card Playmaker warned him about , making Revolver laugh . Revolver offered Gore to surrender . However , instead of his confidence crushed , Gore became more determined to win , to use everything he had to stop Revolver . He played " Gouki Trainer " to resurrect his " Gouki The Great Ogre " that Revolver had destroyed . Revolver promised to " honor " his opponent by obliterating him . He played " Boot Sector Launch " to summon " Shelrokket Dragon " and " Metalrokket Dragon " , using them to Link Summon " Booster Dragon " . Revolver targeted the effect of " Booster Dragon " to " Shellrokket Dragon " , firing the missile to destroy Gore ' s " Gouki " monsters . With no monsters left , Gore took the attack of " Booster Dragon " , lowering his LP to 1000 . Gore had " Gouki Moonsault " return his " Gouki Jet Ogre " to his Extra Deck , only to Link Summon it later on . He destroyed it to force Revolver ' s monsters in Attack Position , preparing them for battle . He revived " Gouki Jet Ogre " with " Gouki Grit " , and used all of his monsters to Link Summon his new monster , " Gouki The Giant Ogre " , which sparked Revolver ' s interest . Gore ' s ogre , whose ATK became 5000 , attacked " Booster Dragon " , reduced Revolver ' s LP by 3100 points , as a " payback " for Revolver ' s actions . While Revolver Special Summoned " Triple Burst Dragon " from his GY , Gore claimed he was always improving himself . Revolver summoned a " Magnarokket Dragon " , and targeted it with the effect of " Booster Dragon " . Revolver targeted " Gouki The Giant Ogre " as his target for destruction , who was unaffected by that effect , and the missile bounced off it . Revolver became displeased his effort were in vain , claiming Gore was stubborn . Gore reminded he always Dueled in public , and many children were looking up to him . However , he noted currently there was no fan cheering on for him , and now was fighting only for himself . He wanted to prove his strength , and dared Revolver to show his own , who creepily smiled . Revolver proceeded by summoning " Borrelsword Dragon " , surprised Gore actually forced him to summon this monster that would mark his enemy ' s end . Revolver admitted he did not care for whom he fought , for he was just carrying on his goal . The dragon and the ogre clashed , with neither side being indestructible in battle . " Borrelsword Dragon " gained half the ATK that was cut off from " Gouki The Giant Ogre " , increasing its ATK to 4500 . Revolver switched the position of " Metalrokket Dragon " to destroy " Gouki The Giant Ogre " . The attempt failed , for the latter ' s ATK increased by 1000 when its ATK was reduced , thus becoming immune to " Metalrokket Dragon " . This , however , allowed " Borrelsword Dragon " to attack once more , and slashed Gore ' s " Gouki The Giant Ogre " and defeating Gore himself . Gore started disappearing , and told Playmaker this was the best he could do . Playmaker was grateful he was able to learn about Revolver ' s tactics , and Gore left him to face Revolver before fading away . Deck . Gore uses a " Gouki " Deck . According to his profile , his Deck Style is Beatdown . Similar to his attitude towards loyalty , his main tactic is about gathering his monsters together , both assembling them from his Deck and combining their respective might . His signature tactic in Duels is to start off passively , allowing his opponents to gain a huge lead before turning things around for a single powerful finish , all for the sake of amazing spectators . After losing his duel against Playmaker , feeling that his style was outdated , Gore ' s tactics became more offensive , utilizing Burn tactics along with relentless attacks . It became deemed a " Heel " tactic as he would recklessly sacrifice his monsters on the field to gain advantage . Regardless , his strategy essentially remained the same , building up the might of his monsters through constantly fortifying his hand and face his opponents direct combat .
