Sayer Sayer , known as Divine in the Japanese version , was a man with psychic abilities similar to those that Akiza harbored as well as the leader and the founder of the Arcadia Movement . He was a secondary antagonist during the late parts of the Fortune Cup Arc and during the entire Dark Signers arc . He was a powerful Psychic Duelist , who was in control of his powers at all times . An alternate version of Sayer appears in Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V . Design . Personality . Sayer was extremely ruthless , and even allowed innocent children to be electrified to death simply because they did not meet his expectations . He also was very manipulative , and used Akiza for her powers and was able to evade Sector Security thanks to his information on Rex Goodwin . Although his past was never explored , he wanted revenge against society for having discriminated him . he was also very deceiving as he could make himself seem like a decent human being if not a credit to the human race Abilities . Sayer , as a Psychic Duelist had the ability to manifest his cards as real objects . This was made apparent when he used " Psychic Sword " and " Hinotama " to fend off and almost kill Yusei if it wasn ' t for Misty who overheard the Duel via Yusei ' s hand - crafted Duel Disk , and thus Misty had killed him with " Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua " . He also had the ability to easily manipulate people by using their past against them . Good examples of these were Akiza Izinski and Rex Goodwin who both had pasts that they didn ' t want to be brought to attention , thus Sayer used these weaknesses against them and cleverly used them to do his bidding . Biography . History . When he found Akiza for the first time , he welcomed her into the Arcadia Movement , a group of people with powers that were similar to hers . Sayer was the leader of this group of Duelists who trained to control and harness their psychic abilities . He had plans for her to be a member and a representative figure of the organization . Sayer found Toby Tredwell , who also had Psychic Dueling powers and took him to the Arcadia Movement to test his abilities . Toby was unable to withstand the procedure . Believing him to be weak and useless , Sayer ordered the intensity of the electric shocks to be amplified , which caused the young boy ' s death . ( in the dub , Toby was taken to a another location under Sayer ' s orders ) . Fortune Cup . Sayer watched over Akiza ' s Duels in the Fortune Cup and encouraged her to be proud of her powers . He also did his best to keep Akiza secluded from anyone outside the Arcadia Movement , including Lazar and Yusei . When she lost to Yusei , he lead her out of the arena to recover from her defeat before Yusei had a chance to speak to her . However , Sayer returned to watch the final match to see if the Crimson Dragon would appear . During this Duel , he commented that it would be interesting to watch . Dark Signers . Later , he received a message from Bolt Tanner , who requested that Sayer help the Signers against the Dark Signers . Luna , Leo , Yanagi and Tanner went to the Arcadia Movement to attempt to unite all of the Signers against the Dark Signers , however , even after explaining the current situation to Sayer , it appeared that he already had other plans . As he and other members sedated them with gas , Sayer looked at the sleeping Luna , and said that he was thinking of making her a member eventually ( It wasn ' t known why though ) , which indicated that he had been planning it for some time prior to the meeting . When the gas wore off , Sayer had chained Leo in his Duel arena to personally test him for any Psychic power while Luna and Akiza watched from the observation room . Before the Duel began , Sayer explained that Luna had the Ability to talk to Duel Spirits , and since Leo was Luna ' s twin , he might have had special abilities of his own . He continued by saying the Arcadia Movement had no interest in dealing with the Dark Signers and that he wanted to use his Psychic Duelists , as soldiers to start a war against the world . During the Duel , he attacked Leo directly with " Krebons " , which caused Leo to cry from the pain . Sayer , however , told him to get up , and that he didn ' t know where he stood . To add to the pressure to unlock any potential psychic power in Leo , he threatened that Leo ' s life was at stake because he had revealed his true intentions before the Duel began . Leo fought back by Synchro Summon ing " Power Tool Dragon " , and inflicted major damage to Sayer , who commented that Leo ' s move wasn ' t too bad . However , after saying that , he applauded Leo for giving him such a hard time , Sayer emerged victorious as he used an impressive card combo that ended with " Battle Teleportation " , which allowed him to attack Leo directly with " Thought Ruler Archfiend " . The attack threw Leo hard against the floor and knocked him out . Sayer accepted that Leo had no special powers , and considered him a worthless drag . However , after the Duel , Sayer assured Akiza that he wouldn ' t put him through any more harm . Instead he said that he planned to convince him to join the movement , and that by doing so , perhaps Luna would come to understand them ( Which indicated that he was going to use Leo as a member , so Luna had a reason to stay ) . After his Duel with Leo , he spoke to Akiza about the organization ' s plans of gathering more members from around the world . Also , that she would come to represent the Arcadia Movement itself not only as a symbol , but also as a modern " Joan of Arc " . Meanwhile , Carly Carmine had snuck into the Arcadia Movement building and found Sayer ' s secret room , which triggered Sayer ' s psychic sense . He returned to his office and challenged Carly to a Duel with her life on the line . Carly Summoned 3 of her " Fortune Fairies " and raised their ATK to 3000 each . However , Sayer swarmed Carly with Psychic monsters and destroyed her key card with " Psychokinesis " and pinned her to a window with his attacks . Carly warned Sayer that the Public Security Bureau would investigate her death , but he informed her that her death would be considered an accident by Sector Security . He explained to Carly that he knew Goodwin ' s weakness , that he was born from Satellite rather than in New Domino City and mentioned that that was the least of Goodwin ' s secrets , and because of that , he was safe from Sector Security . His last attack defeated her , shattered the window that she was pinned against , and lead her to her apparent death . ( This was made less obvious in the dub , in which she fell into a purple fog , but still landed on the ground and cracked it ) . Carly was revived as a Dark Signer and appeared to Sayer again in order to challenge him to a Shadow Duel for revenge . He started the Duel confident that he would win again , but Carly was able to destroy his first monster and more than half his Life Points with ease on her first turn . Following this , Sayer attempted to make a comeback on his next turn and thought of a strategy which would have allowed him to bring out " Thought Ruler Archfiend " , but this was futile as Carly , on her next turn , Summoned her Earthbound Immortal , " Aslla piscu " and used it to defeat Sayer . The explosion caused by the attack threw Sayer down the building ' s stairwell . Akiza saw Sayer falling and cried out for him in shock . ( In the dub , Sayer fell into the same purple fog that Carly fell in . ) Afterwards , the Arcadia Movement building began to collapse after the attack of " Aslla piscu " . Sayer somehow survived his fall with a scar on the right side of his face that was hidden by his hair , which also changed to a more rough style . He posed as a security agent from Goodwin , tricked Mina into a water pit , and attacked Yusei , who eventually ended up with Mina . After he saved Akiza from landing into a shard of shattered glass , he told her to continue the Duel with Misty . But as Akiza told him that she couldn ' t , Sayer revealed to her that psychic powers were strong even when they were dormant while she was young . He had somehow sealed them away without her knowing this . Sayer released the seal , and unlocked her true powers with the phrase " The entrance to the Underworld is on the witch ' s island " Akiza ' s powers awoke and she became the Black Rose once again . Sayer claimed that this power had surpassed that of the Dark Signers . While Sayer watched the Duel from someplace safe , he stated that he and Akiza would resurrect the Arcadia Movement . Yusei confronted Sayer and asked what he was really there for . Sayer revealed his scar , and stated that it was a result of the Dark Signer ' s attack on the Arcadia Movement ' s headquarters . Sayer claimed to have control over Akiza ' s mind , and he said that she would only obey him . Yusei commanded him to release Akiza , and stated that she had changed . Sayer refused and attacked Yusei with " Hinotama " . Sayer stated that anybody who fell prey to him , would simply follow his orders and nothing more , as he took full advantage of that individual ' s weakness , just like he did with Akiza . Although at that time , he acknowledged her incredible psychic powers along with her loneliness . He explained that Misty had became a Dark Signer , because of what happened to Toby . This lead Yusei to figure out that Sayer was involved in Toby ' s death . Sayer revealed the truth of Toby ' s death , which prompted Yusei to attack him , but Sayer avoided him and attacked again with " Hinotama " . Yusei was left hanging from a balcony , but laughed as he revealed that he had activated his Duel Disk ' s voice intercom , and thus allowed Misty to hear the real story of her brother ' s death . After she heard this , Misty believed that Sayer was the real culprit for her brother ' s death . Sayer unwisely told her that Toby was too weak and that he had no use for him anyway . Fueled by anger and lust for revenge , Misty ordered " Ccarayhua " to eat Sayer ( in the dub , he simply disappeared after " Ccarayhua " took him ) . According to the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 10th Anniversary Animation Book " , Sayer was revived after " Ccarayhua " was defeated and was quickly arrested by Sector Security after the fall of the Dark Signers and the King of the Netherworld and was sent to The Facility . Decks . Sayer used a Psychic Deck , which focused on Summoning and supporting Psychic - Type monsters at the cost of his Life Points .
