Jack Atlas ( ARC - V ) Jack Atlas ( ジャック ・ アトラス , " Jakku Atorasu " ) is a character in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " anime . He is an alternate universe version of the Jack Atlas that appeared in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s " anime . He was the Duel King ( Master of Faster in the dub ) , a native of the Commons section of New Domino City within the Synchro Dimension . He rose through the ranks and won the Friendship Cup , allowing him to live in Topsiders . After his defeat by Yuya Sakaki , he crowned Yuya as the new Duel King and became an ally of the Lancers . Design . Appearance . Jack ' s design is similar to that of his " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s " counterpart . Jack has purple eyes , fair skin and spiked blonde hair , with two much longer strands in front of his ears that hang further down the rest of his hair . His other accessories include a neckband , a belt buckle and earrings in the shape of the letter A , the first letter of his last name . Jack wears a long white trench coat lined with purple , with spiked shoulders over a white plunging shirt , grey pants , and white boots , in addition to a gray undershirt not worn by his original counterpart . Jack also commonly wears a Turbo suit that is similar in design to his casual clothes ; the top portion of the suit closely resembles his coat , with a slightly smaller collar , an undersuit of the same material underneath , full gloves , and no spikes on the shoulder pauldrons , while the trailing straps of his upper suit extend under his belt and to his knees . He retains the belt and boots that he wears out of his Turbo suit , and also wears a white helmet with a green visor and a purple peak . Personality . Jack ' s personality is similar to his " 5D ' s " version ; he is a confident and powerful Duelist who believes his own power can overcome his enemies . He can be boastful and arrogant in this regard , successfully predicting how the Duel would play out before his Turbo Duel against Yuya Sakaki and that he would be overwhelmed by his power . According to Sam , Jack ' s apparent arrogance is a product of his time spent among the Topsiders citizens , but Chojiro Tokumatsu later theorized that Jack ' s somewhat annoyed demeanor is due to other Duelists not being powerful enough to test his own limits ; when Yuya Sakaki finally did so in Jack ' s eyes ; Jack was ecstatic . Similar to his " 5D ' s " counterpart , Jack is generally more malicious in the dub than in the Japanese , but he retains his instructive side . Jack also sees himself as an Dueltainer , but his philosophy on this is quite different from Yuya ' s , who uses flashy presentation and tricks . He believes strength in Dueling itself is used to entertain the crowd and views Yuya ' s Dueltaining as self - satisfaction only . After witnessing Yuya use Sam ' s " Tuning Magician " to Synchro Summon " Enlightenment Paladin " and win against Shinji , Jack started to respect Yuya . Unlike his " 5D ' s " counterpart , Jack does not show surprise as easily , as he didn ' t bat an eye to Yuya performing the unheard of in the Synchro Dimension Pendulum and Xyz Summon , nor was he shocked at all when Sergey fused with his Duel Runner and even called it boring . However , he was quite surprised when Yuya Synchro Summoned without using a Tuner monster . He maintains a high level of honor while Dueling , saving Sergey ' s life when he was about to fall off the course the first time and attempting to do so the second and last time . Upon losing to Yuya and consequently losing his title as Duel King , Jack graciously accepted his defeat and welcomed Yuya as his successor , and he even showed comical anger when Yuya accidentally continued to refer to him as " King " after their Duel . Jack is also very perceptive ; he was able to guess Riley ' s backstory rather accurately , as well as deduce that Declan had a purpose of his own . Like his " 5D ' s " counterpart , Jack believes that Duels are a clash of souls , and he shares a strong bond with his ace monster , " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " , calling it a symbol of his Dueling and of his soul . His bond with his ace is so strong that he consistently prevents it from being destroyed as seen in his Duel with Sergey . However , he is greatly disapproves of Yuya ' s Dueltaining philosophy as merely an imitation of his father ' s and urges him to make his own Dueling instead . In the dub , Jack collects his beliefs under the ideal of the " gift of grit " , believing that one who has the grit will be a strong Duelist . Similar to Yugo , Jack prefers to remain on his Duel Runner while Dueling , whether he is Turbo Dueling or not . Abilities . As a Turbo Duelist he is very powerful , becoming the first Duel King from the Commons and gaining access to the Topsiders despite his area of birth . He quickly adapted his Turbo Dueling to Action Duel ing when " Crossover Acceleration " was used in conjunction with " Speed World Neo " . Jack ' s riding skills have been shown to be phenomenal , performing spectacular racing techniques to overtake Sergey Volkov ' s Duel Runner - fused form . Biography . History . Jack was born in the Commons area of New Domino City and was an orphan . He lived in constant fear for years . One day , a " Tuning Magician " card fell down from the Topsiders section of New Domino above him . This card inspired Jack , and he wished to return the card from where it came from . The only way to do that was to become stronger . Through Turbo Duel ing , he was able to eventually win the Friendship Cup , and was then allowed to reside in Topsiders . Through winning the Cup , he earned the title of Duel King . On one occasion outside an event , Jack met Sam , a Commons child working for the Topsiders , who explained that he was a fan of Jack . Jack gave him the " Tuning Magician " card , claiming that it was the most suitable for him . Sam interpreted this as calling him worthless due to the low Level and ATK value that the card possessed . Jack became an idol and hero to many young children in the Commons , including Yugo and Rin . This motivated them to train hard so they could face off against him one day . However many Commons , like Crow Hogan and Sam consider him a traitor as he has not done anything to rectify the situation between the Topsiders and the Commons . Friendship Cup . When the Lancers were dragged before the High Council , they agreed with Jean - Michel Roget of Sector Security to have Yuya Sakaki Duel Jack in an exhibition match the night before the Friendship Cup would start . Jack entered the arena after Yuya did and before the Action - Turbo Duel started , he told the public how the Duel would unfold . Jack won the first corner against the novice Turbo Duelist Yuya as he predicted and proceeded to summon " Red Wyvern " . Yuya immediately Pendulum Summon ed using all the cards in his hand , successfully bringing out " Rune - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " and " Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon " . Yuya attacked , attempting to win with an FTK , but Jack survived using a combination of " Evasive Evasion " and " Reject Reborn " . Jack told Yuya that his way of entertaining was wrong because it was self - satisfaction , proceeded to Synchro Summon " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " on his next turn and used its effect to destroy all Yuya ' s monsters and attack him directly with it . This won Jack the Duel in an OTK and knocked Yuya off his Duel Runner . Jack silently watched as Yuya angrily told Jack not to insult his father ' s Dueling before passing out . Jack later watched the opening proceedings for the first day of the Friendship Cup . After the first day of the Cup ended , Jack was invited to dinner by the High Council , who also had Declan and Riley as guests . Gael asked if he agreed that Zuzu Boyle was the most impressive Duelist out of the first day , with Jack responding that she seemed as if she was trying to reach someone with her Duels . Jack pointed out that Riley was supposed to Duel as well , with Declan apologizing for the replacement . Jack revealed he had been looking forward to Riley ' s Duel , saying that he himself had once had the same haunted expression in his eyes . Jack went on to explain his past and how he found the " Tuning Magician " card , which inspired him . Jack told Riley that if he had a goal to accomplish , he must not falter . During the second day of the first round , Jack continued to watch the Duels , and when Yuya informed the crowd of the fate of the losers in the Friendship Cup , Jack criticized him , noting that Yuya expected the crowd to listen to him despite not having proven that he was a winner . However , Jack was shocked for the first time in the tournament when Yuya began to Duel aggressively and brutally defeated his opponent , Officer 227 . He watched the rest of the Duels in the first round , remaining unmoved during the brutal climax of the Duel between Dennis McField and Shay Obsidian , during which the former revealed that he was from Duel Academy . Jack left the arena after Shay brutally defeated Dennis . Friendship Cup Finals . Jack returned the next day to watch the second round Duels from his special skybox on his own again . When Yuya Summoned " Tuning Magician " , a card Jack gave to Sam , Jack wondered how Yuya obtained it . When Yuya revealed how the seemingly adverse effect of " Tuning Magician " had set up " Enlightenment Paladin " and its finishing blow , he smiled . He was pleased with the outcome of Crow ' s Duel with Shay , smiling despite one of his posters being damaged in the final attack . He later observed the Duel between Yuya and Crow . Following Crow ' s defeat and Yuya ' s brutal Dueling , Jack was not impressed with the match , declaring it boring , and walked away . With Yugo not showing up , he was instead selected as Sergey ' s opponent in the second semi - final match . Before the match , he talked to Sam , who told Jack he finally understood why Jack gave him " Tuning Magician " , and Jack concluded that Sam indeed gave Yuya the card . Jack told Sam that all cards have a purpose and people do as well . He gave Sam the task of delivering this message to Yuya . After Jack began his Duel with Sergey , Sergey attempted to use the effects of his " Earthbound Servant " Fusion and Synchro Monsters to defeat Jack but Jack countered each one . After Sergey played " Earthbound Tundra " , Jack was still unconcerned , as he believed the same conditions applied to Sergey and that he could outpace him . When Sergey merged with his own Duel Runner and boasted about it , Jack still wasn ' t worried and even called it boring , and became annoyed when Sergey weakened his " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " . As the Duel continued , Sergey used the effect of " Earthbound Servant Geo Gremlin " to give Jack the choice of either destroying " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " and skip Sergey ' s Battle Phase or allowing Sergey to restore his LP . Jack chose to keep " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " on the field , explaining that his dragon was the embodiment of his pride and his soul . After Sergey Summoned " Earthbound Servant Geo Grasha " , Jack saved his opponent from falling off the track with " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " . Jack won the Duel using " Soul Fist " on " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " , then witnessed Sergey fall to his demise after he refused to be saved . He returned to the Duel Palace where he waited for Yuya to arrive and accepted his challenge after Yuya vowed to bring smiles back to New Domino . At the Duel Palace , the Commons began rioting until Jack ordered them to stop and watch his Duel with Yuya , explaining that it would decide the fate of New Domino . As the two prepared to Duel one another , Jack told Yuya to show him how far he had come since their last Duel . Jack began the Duel by Synchro Summoning " Red Wyvern " using the same Synchro Materials as he did in his previous Duel , while Yuya countered by Pendulum Summoning " Timebreaker Magician " and " Performapal Radish Horse " . Yuya activated " Smile World " in order to entertain the crowd with his father ' s Dueling , which greatly displeased Jack , who decided that Yuya hadn ' t learned anything since their exhibition match . Jack then proceeded to Synchro Summon " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " , but the Duel was interrupted by Jean - Michel Roget ' s squad of Duel Chaser s with their " Goyo Emperor s " . Enraged at Yuya for leaning heavily on his father ' s Dueling style and at Sector Security and Roget for interfering with their Duel , Jack activated the effect of " Scarlight " to destroy all the other Special Summoned monsters on the field and inflict the damage to Yuya . Yuya luckily escaped with the Action Cards " Acceleration " and " Damage Draw " . Jack ordered Yuya to surrender but Yuya refused . Jack watched Yuya Synchro Summon " Enlightenment Paladin " and showed his disdain and contempt that such a monster had the title " Enlightenment . " Jack continued to hold the upper hand and tried to destroy " Enlightenment Paladin " , but failed . At the same time , he continued to speak and made Yuya realize his own not - borrowed style . Jack show his displeasure and impatience with Yuya until he watched in shock and delight at the birth of " Nirvana High Paladin " . With the Duel unexpectedly becoming the one he wanted from Yuya at the beginning of the match , Jack responded to Yuya ' s Synchro Summon by Synchro Summoning " Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend " , shocking everyone with the hidden extent of his strength . Jack continued to teach Yuya the true essence of Dueling and watched in amazement at Yuya ' s daring Pendulum Summon of a full monster field . Even though Jack powered up " Tyrant " to 10000 ATK , he was defeated when Yuya used the Pendulum Effect of " Nirvana High Paladin " on his full field of monsters in combination with " Smile World " . Jack smiled as the final attack fell , and announced to the whole of New Domino City that he was proud of and honored to Duel with Yuya . He was present to learn the Council ' s decision to disband and resign , as well as the dissolving of the Topsiders - Commons system . Jack finally understood what Yuya ' s philosophy meant and was pleased to see Yuya unite both the Topsiders and Commons like a true king and star . Jack watched in surprise when Sora Perse suddenly appeared on the city ' s viewscreens and delivered the alarming and distressing news that Roget had kidnapped Zuzu again . He and Crow took off on their Duel Runner s , going after Yuya and joined him in front of the Sector Security building , intent on stopping the selfish Roget . Jack and Crow crashed through the glass doors and forced their way into the building . They ran around with Yuya , looking for Zuzu , and reunited with Riley and Moon Shadow , only to learn that Declan was Dueling Roget in a locked room trying to rescue Zuzu . Once Sora arrived and confirmed that he could open the locked door , Jack and Crow exchanged glances and left the Lancers . The two successfully set up an ambush on Roget , simultaneously creating a chance to free Zuzu . Jack told Roget he would never forgive him for putting New Domino in chaos and danger , and he had " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " destroy the elevator , but to his horror he accidentally put Zuzu in further danger . He , Crow , and the Lancers watched happily as Yuya and Zuzu were reunited . Jack was furious when Roget revealed his plans to take the Lancers to the Fusion Dimension and trap New Domino between dimensions and activated his dimensional travel machine . However , neither " Scarlight " nor Crow ' s " Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Sudden Shower " could stop Roget and the machine . Jack witnessed Roget being pulled in a wormhole and watched in shock as moments later , Zuzu , Yuya , Shay , Gong , and Sylvio got pulled into a second wormhole and disappeared . Declan explained that there was no way to know which dimension the others had been transported to . Heartland City . Jack did not depart with the Lancers to the Fusion Dimension , and remained to assist in rebuilding New Domino City . Amanda , Frank , and Tarren asked him to go help Crow and the others , reassuring him that he could leave New Domino City to them , and Jack took his Duel Runner to the Fusion Dimension and made his way to Duel Academy . When the Battle Beast was about to seal Gong into a card , Jack came speeding down an entrance on his Phoenix Whirlwind and roared into the Duel arena , surprising everyone present . He sped around the arena while taking the intrusion penalty and told Sanders that he was not one of the Lancers , but certainly one of their comrades . He told Yuya how the kids had asked him to help Crow , but was shocked to learn that Crow had been sealed into a card by the Battle Beast . He told the Battle Beast he would crush him and Synchro Summon ed " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " and activated the effect of " Scarlight " to destroy " Gladiator Beast Gyzarus " . The Battle Beast feared a direct attack from " Archfiend " , but Jack explained that the effect of the " Red Warg " that he had used as Synchro Material preventing him from attacking , relieving the Battle Beast . Sanders then joined the Duel and Jack ended his turn by Setting two cards . Jack asked Yuya what was wrong and learned that there was something wrong with the Battle Beast . He warned Sanders that he did not care what his orders were and that with Yuya as his partner , Duel Academy could not stop them . He told Yuya , who was lost in thought , to wake up and to express his feelings in a Duel . He was surprised when Battle Beast used the effect of " Tamer Editor " to destroy itself and eliminate Sanders from the Duel . Jack saved Yuya from the effect of " Gladiator Beast Fort " , but when Yuya tried to stop the students from sealing their instructor into a card , Jack explained that shouting wouldn ' t erase the teachings drilled into their heads , but shaking their hearts would . He summoned " Double Resonator " and Synchro Summoned " Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend " , using its effect to destroy all cards on the field . However , this backfired as the Battle Beast activated " Gladiator Beast ' s Great Fortress " . Jack commented that cowardly enemies would try to look intimidating , but the " Great Fortress " was ridiculous . He attacked directly but the Battle Beast activated the effect of " Great Fortress " , letting him Special Summon " Gladiator Beast Andabata " with 4000 ATK and forced " Tyrant " to battle it , which would end up in Jack ' s defeat . Using " Red Armor " in his Graveyard , Jack saved his Life Points once more , and he told Yuya to focus on what he should be doing instead of worrying about him , motivating him to tear off the thick armor covering the Battle Beast ' s heart . He smiled as Yuya activated " Guard Dance " and remarked how Pendulum Summon ing was Yuya ' s words . After Yuya won the Duel , Jack told Yuya to hurry and go ahead as he and Sylvio helped up the injured Gong . Duel Academy . Jack arrived outside Duel Academy as Gong was about to join the Duel between Shay , Kite Tenjo , and Zarc , and Jack told Gong to wait as he sped down the road . They both joined the Duel , receiving intrusion penalties and watched Zarc defeat Shay and Kite . He correctly guessed that Yuya and the Four Dimension Dragons had become one to form Supreme King Z - ARC and declared his intention to regain the remains of Yuya ' s heart . Jack and Gong declared that they were Zarc ' s opponents now . Jack quickly Synchro Summon ed " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " , intending to drag Yuya from hiding as Yuya did the Battle Beast . Jack attempted to use the effect of " Scarlight " , but his Synchro Summon allowed Zarc to Synchro Summon " Supreme King Servant Dragon Clear Wing " during Jack ' s turn . Jack managed to prevent the destruction of " Scarlight " , but he was unable to destroy " Clear Wing " . Jack told Yuya that he wouldn ' t give up no matter how many times he was deflected , even if there was no road in front of him . Gong set up protection for " Scarlight " with " Superheavy Samurai Bushin Fudomyo ' o " , vowing to Zarc that he would protect " Scarlight " no matter what happened to him , and Jack decided to use the road Gong paved for him to defeat Zarc . New Domino City began materializing in the Fusion Dimension , and Jack sped for a highway as it materialized , successfully travelling up it . As he reached the road , Jack used " Vision Synchro " to Synchro Summon " Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend " using monsters from his hand . With his dragons protected by the effect of " Fudomyo ' o " , Jack attacked " Clear Wing " , but while his dragons were protected , the effect of " Clear Wing " , amplified by " Supreme King Violent Spirit " defeated Gong . Jack explained to Yuya that Gong had sacrificed himself to give him a chance , and he vowed to use it to strike Yuya from his soul . He destroyed " Clear Wing " , but Zarc used the Pendulum Effect s of " Supreme King Gate Zero " and " Supreme King Gate Infinity " to convert the damage into LP . The effect of " Vision Synchro " returned " Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend " to Jack ' s Extra Deck , leaving only " Scarlight " on Jack ' s field . As Sylvio and a restored Crow joined the Duel , Zarc personally attacked and destroyed " Scarlight " , defeating Jack and blasting him through the Duel Palace . Jack was thrown off his Duel Runner , barely ducking as the Runner nearly crushed him . Passing out , he left the Duel to Sylvio and Crow . When Crow Synchro Summoned " Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower " , Jack knew that Zarc would do the same during Crow ' s turn . Jack was surprised when Crow was able to deal damage to Zarc and when Zarc Summoned " Supreme King Servant Dragon Odd - Eyes " . To Jack ' s shock , it appeared that Sylvio had been able to destroy " Z - ARC " , but Zarc was protected by the presence of the Fusion , Synchro and Xyz Monster s in the Graveyard , including Jack ' s " Scarlight " . Leo Akaba joined the Duel , and when Leo and Zarc mentioned the cards needed to defeat Zarc , Jack was surprised to hear of such cards . When Declan was telling Yuya how he moved people ' s hearts , Jack reminded Yuya how he moved the hearts of New Domino ' s people . Jack was surprised when he thought " Zarc " killed Declan . He and Crow were pleased when Ray turned all of Zarc ' s Synchro Monsters into Normal Monster s with their effects negated . Following the battle with Zarc , Jack returned to the Fusion Dimension to watch Yuya and Shay ' s Duel . After Yuya won and declared that he would save Zuzu and Lulu , Jack called him conceited and told him that he couldn ' t save anyone in his current condition . Jack explained that Yuya feared using the Four Dimension Dragons because he might integrate with them again . He told Yuya he was disqualified as a Duelist for not having free control over his dragons , despite their ferociousness . Yuya claimed that he refused to use the dragons out of fear of hurting Riley and that he wanted to make her smile without them . Jack replied that Yuya mustn ' t hesitate , and use the four dragons if he wanted to achieve his goal . He and Yuya Action - Turbo Dueled on the Dimension Highway that had been activated throughout the Four Dimensions . Jack quickly brought out " Scarlight " and told Yuya to bring out the four dragons , but Yuya was still hesitant and instead attacked with " Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " and his " Performapal s " . Jack fended off the attack , and told Yuya he was unsatisfied with the Duel and used " Scarlight " to destroy all of Yuya ' s monsters and deal damage , except " Odd - Eyes " , leaving Yuya one chance left to bring out all four dragons . However , Yuya still refused , revealing that he also feared something could happen to Zuzu , Celina , Lulu , and Rin as well . Yuya attacked " Scarlight " using the same combo again , but Jack repelled the attacks again . Disappointed in Yuya for not bringing out the four dragons , Jack warned him he would destroy him on his turn . He brought out " Tyrant " and attacked Yuya ' s monsters with both dragons , but Yuya negated the attack of " Scarlight " and the effect of " Tyrant " with the effect " Performapal Odd - Eyes Dissolver " . Jack subsequently destroyed Yuya ' s monsters with the effect of " Scarlight " except " Dissolver " due to its own effect . On his next turn , Yuya revived his monsters for the third time , angering Jack as he thought Yuya was trying to repeat his ineffective combo . Yuya clarified that he understood what he meant , and Jack told Yuya to show his strength as a master who controlled the four dragons . Yuya obliged , assembling " Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon " , " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " , and " Starving Venom Fusion Dragon " alongside " Odd - Eyes " . Upon its Fusion Summoning , the effect of " Starving Venom " allwing it to gain the ATK of Jack ' s monsters and the effect of " Scarlight " , which Yuya proceeded to use against Jack . Jack blocked it with " Invalid Insensitive " to prevent it . He told Yuya to come at him seriously and show the Four Dimension Dragons ' power in battle . Jack ' s " Red Dragon Archfiends " were weakened by the effect of " Dark Rebellion " twice and Yuya attacked " Tyrant " with " Starving Venom " and " Dark Rebellion " , and " Clear Wing " . Jack used Action Cards to protect " Tyrant " from the first two attack , but it was destroyed by the attack of " Clear Wing " , though Jack was able to remain in the Duel by using the second effect of " Invalid Insensitive " to halve the damage . Yuya then attacked " Scarlight " with " Odd - Eyes " , and Jack used " Rejuvenation " to increase the ATK of " Scarlight " . To his surprise , " Clear Wing " helped Yuya grabbed an Cction card that powered " Odd - Eyes " up enough to destroy " Scarlight " and defeat Jack . Despite his defeat and his admission that Yuya was the master of the Four Dimension Dragons , Jack warned Yuya that he didn ' t hear Yuya ' s soul roar during the Duel before he sped off . He subsequently watched Yuya and Declan ' s Duel in Paradise City . When Yuya Synchro Summoned " Odd - Eyes Wing Dragon " , Jack mused that he felt the beat of Yuya ' s existence for the first time and told him to go down his road without hesitation . He was surprised when Yuya used the Pendulum Effect of " Performapal Five - Rainbow Magician " to lower the ATK of his and Declan ' s monsters to 0 , and watched as Yuya and Declan gathered Action Cards to in order to bypass the effect of " Performapal Five - Rainbow Magician " . Jack was pleased when Yuya won , and he was sent back to the Paradise Stadium by Ray to witness her revival as Zuzu . Deck . Jack uses a " Red " Deck , which , similar to his " 5D ' s " counterpart , seems to focus mainly on power . He swarms the field with various monsters to perform Synchro Summon s and uses powerful Synchro Monster s to overwhelm his opponent with card - destruction effects and high ATK for OTK tactics . He also uses cards his " 5D ' s " counterpart used or similar ones , like " Resonator " monsters and " Crimson Blader " . Much like his " 5D ' s " counterpart with " Red Dragon Archfiend " , Jack aims to bring out his " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " as soon as possible and keep it alive throughout the whole Duel , using many effects to protect and strengthen it , including several hand trap s .
