Yuri ( manga ) Yuri is a character in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " manga . He is one of the four personalities that share Yuya Sakaki ' s body . Design . Appearance . Yuri looks almost the same as his anime counterpart : His face semi - identical to his counterparts save his pronounced and short thick eyebrows , violet and pink hair , purple eyes , and menacing expression . Yuri ' s attire resembles an officer ' s uniform of sorts , usually having a two - part cape of red and purple . Whenever he possesses Yuya or briefly emerges from him as a spirit , Yuri ' s cape is replaced with Yuya ' s gold and red lined white school jacket . Personality . While similar to his anime counterpart in Dueling conduct and eagerness to fight strong duelists , Yuri seems to show some compassion to others , especially towards Yuya . Yuri cares about Yuya to the point that he would mercilessly punish anyone who tries deliberately harming him in any way , or feel guilty if he felt that he failed Yuya . Yuri also follows an ideology that everyone is capable of evil , making him perceptive enough to be the only one besides Reiji to see through Sora ' s lies . Just like Yuto , Yuri also has a big ego in which he considers himself " handsome " , worrying that Yuzu would be sad if he left , since she " likes handsome men " . While Yuri is the one in control , he speaks politely . Biography . Yuri was first seen riding around Yuya ' s mind with Yugo while hunting down memories they don ' t want Yuya to remember . While Yuri questioned if their absence might make Yuya suspicious , Yugo assures him that Yuto will cover for them . Yugo then finds a crystalized shard of Yuya ' s memories , shattering it while he and Yuri both agree that it is for the best Yuya does not remember them as they were . At the same time , after explaining his three other " personalities " to Yuzu and Shuzo , Yuya questioned Yuto on where Yugo and Yuri were since he hasn ' t seen them of late . Yuto covers for his counterparts by claiming they were probably going on a tour or something , with Yuya assuming Yugo and Yuri are having a road trip in his mind . Yuri later makes his presence known when Yuya becomes conflicted over dueling Sora Shiunin after the boy claimed that he is being forced to Duel him for his sister ' s sake . Yuri takes over Yuya ' s body commenting that his Deck would be more effective against Sora ' s . While Yuya protests over how he finally showed up after an long absence , Yuri warns a confused Sora that he is not as soft as Yuya and care very less about Sora ' s sister , unlike Yuya . Yuri proceeds to mercilessly attack Sora with Yuya horrified until Yuri reveals his intent to expose Sora for the liar he is . However , while finally noticing Yuzu , Yuri realized too late that Sora rigged the pain receiver of the Action Field ' s Solid Vision to deal out triple the amount of pain . While he advised Yuya against it , flirting with Yuzu as a last resort , Yuri relents and gives Yuya back use of their body to finish the Duel . Soon after Yuya was brought back to their hideout by Yugo once Sora was defeated , Yuri felt guilty over giving into Yuya ' s request . While Yugo attempted to cheer him up , Yuri retorted that hearing from Yugo made him feel worse as they and Yugo start bickering amongst themselves . The trio ' s prattle ceases when Yuri notices someone is hacking Yuya ' s mind via his Duel Disk , Yugo deciding to deal with the intruder after they failed to prevent him from entering Yuya ' s mind . Though Yuri offers , Yugo turns him down since he ' s not fully healed from his fight with Sora . Yuri and Yuto eventually follow after Yugo when they start to fear the worst , watching his duel against Ren before coming to Yugo ' s side to deal with the resurfacing memories . Soon after , as Ren knew of the World Illusion and possibly who they all were before that event , Yugo warns Yuri and Yuto with the former deeming Ren as someone they cannot ignore . Soon after , while Yugo rests , Yuto and Yuri help Yuya catch up on what occurred while he was out and speculate on Ren being part of a third faction seeking the Adam Factor they apparently possess . When Yuya learns Reiji found their hideout , Yuto and Yuri agree to disappear for a bit so Yuya can have a private discussion with him . But when Reiji is adamant to duel Yuya and overpowers him , Yuri quickly return to aid his counterpart while expressing excitement to face Reiji himself as he summons " Starving Venemy Dragon " . Soon after going off the grid , Yuri having suspected that they would be effected by the Adam Factor , he and his counterparts have Yuya undergo a training regime to hone their dueling skills . The knowledge of the Adam Factor gradually disrupting their connection continues to trouble Yuri as he and Yuto watch Yugo ' s rematch against Ren . Relationships . Yuya Sayaki . Yuya and Yuri are complete opposites of one another : while Yuya sees the good in others and Duels for fun , Yuri sees only the worst and Duels in a sadistic manner . Yuri even forcefully took over Yuya ' s body during their Duel with Sora , scolding Yuya for his gullibility while torturing Sora to expose him for the deceptive sadist he is . Their history prior to sharing a body is unknown at the time save that Yuri genuinely cares for Yuya to the point that he will show no mercy to anyone who harms Yuya in any way . Yuto and Yugo . Yuri has a somewhat friendly relation with his counterparts , though he is prone to argue with Yugo when his attempt to cheer him up only made him more depressed . The three of them all share a common need to protect Yuya , even from his own memories . Yuzu Hiragi . Having noted Yuzu ' s fondness for handsome guys , Yuri makes an assumption that he might be her type to the point of flirting with her to Yuya ' s dismay . Sora . Compared to Yuya , Yuri knew instantly that Sora was lying about being forced to Duel them against his will . He proceeded to torture Sora until he forced the child to reveal his true colors . Deck . Like his anime counterpart , Yuri runs a Predator Plant Deck focusing on Fusion Summon ing . Like his other counterparts , Yuri ' s Deck has been influenced by Yuya , with him using cards like " Pendulum Fusion " that allow him to Fusion Summon using Pendulum Monster s , and with his " Starving Venemy Dragon " evolving to a Pendulum Monster .
