*[[Took a Level in Badass]]: Attempts this by asking Sora to teach her about Fusion Summoning. The results are finally shown in Episode 29, "The Fused Divas."
*[[Tsundere]]: Type B.
 
=== Reiji Akaba (Declan Akaba) ===
{{quote|Voiced by: [[Yoshimasa Hosoya]] (JP), Billy Bob Thompson (EN)}}
 
The mysterious 16 year old CEO of Leo Corporation. He is a genius duelist with good brain.After traveling to Fusion Dimension three years ago before the current event Reiji rescued a young girl named Serena from academia who looks identical to Yuzu and learns from her his fathers plan to unite the four dimension ever since then he became against of his Father Leo Akaba and creat a organisation called Lancers in which he is the leader to defend his hometown and defeat Academia. Reiji uses DD deck which is a dark fiend type monsters and that deck mainly specializes in Fusion,Synchro and Xyz summoning.later he created his own Pendulum summoning
 
----
*[[The Ace]]: He's a pro and runs the largest gaming business in the world, all at the age of 16. He's also the first duelist to use every Extra Deck summoning method (Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Pendulum), something that wasn't accomplished by another character until Yuyu gained Enlightenment Paladin in episode 79.
*[[Achilles in His Tent]]: He's the leader of the Lancers, but because of his Japanese VA's busy schedule, he doesn't get to say or do much to the point that he only dueled twice in the show's first season.
*[[Adjusting Your Glasses]]: He adjusts his glasses by the bridge a lot in his duel with Yuya, showing that he has a well thought-out strategy and a few tricks up his sleeve.
*[[All According to Plan]]: Says this very casually to "losing" Tsukikage in the Friendship Cup. Reira, and the Executive Council are disturbed.
*[[All Your Powers Combined]]/[[Master of All]]: His deck is based around performing every kind of summoning. So far he's displayed Fusion, Synchro and Xyz, and the elemental theme of his monsters makes it possible he's also got an EARTH Ritual monster we haven't seen yet. Not to mention his Pendulum Monsters.
*[[Aloof Big Brother]]: Towards Reira; he may be a little distant with him, but it's clear that he cares for his little brother. He starts out as the only person Reira seems comfortable around.
*[[Ambiguously Evil]]:
**He's initially presented as an antagonist, then turns out to be a respectful and decent guy, then turns out to be engaging in shady activities behind the scenes. By the time of Episode 36 when he true motives are revealed, it's clear he has good intentions, but is willing to do very morally grey things for the greater good.
**During their duel, Roget attempts to invoke and exploit this, claiming that it's entirely possible that Reiji is in cahoots with his father and that they are both playing Standard and the Lancers for fools, and how they should just abandon him because of it, but right one cue when Reiji points out the flaw in this logic, Yuya goes and declares that they will trust Reiji no matter what, thus calling the bluff.
*[[Anti-Hero]]: Everything he does is to stop his father, Leo Akaba who started a war between the Fusion and Xyz dimensions and does seem to honestly care for his town. But he has done a lot of morally gray actions in his quest, from manipulating his students and allies, to lying to his allies so he can experiment on their possibly dead ally's Duel Disk, and willingly using teenagers as soldiers.
*[[Archnemesis Dad]]: The MCS is actually a way to distillate the strongest duelists in order to fight his father. He also flat out calls Leo Akaba his enemy.
*[[Armor-Piercing Question]]: In their second duel, Reiji asks Yuya if he is fine with leaving the other carded even if Yuzu is all right.
Awesome by Analysis: He was able to create a Pendulum counter deck based on his knowledge on Yuya's duels.
*[[Badass]]:
**He's one of the best duelists in the world, and he proves it. To date, the only duel he lost is one where he forfeited to Yuya, at a time when it wasn't fully clear who would win or lose. Then in Episode 51, he deals Yuya his first defeat since the second episode.
**If you defeat the Arc Villain during your first turn, and you are able to defeat every hologram of the villain whenever they begin their turn, you are offfically the most badass character of the series.
*[[Badass Bookworm]]: Being a CEO at age 16 and a professional duelist at age 15 certainly qualifies him even before we see what he can do.
He proves it even more when he duels, having mastered every form of summoning. He proceeds to show this by summoning a Fusion Monster, a Synchro Monster, AND an Xyz Monster in just two of his turns. He does this again 8 episodes later, but in one turn.
It's pretty much explicitly stated that he managed to make his own Pendulum Monsters. Granted, they malfunction at first, but that's still a pretty big achievement.
*[[Batman Gambit]]: Does this to Yuya in their second Duel.
*[[Benevolent Boss]]: Even more so than his mother
*[[Berserk Buuton]]: Dont insult or badmouth Yuya or the Sakaki family
*[[Big Damn Heroes]]: Greets Roget by finishing Yuzu's [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]], followed by demanding him to unhand Yuzu. Roget obviously refuses and opts for giving her to Academia to save his own skin, forcing Reiji to take drastic measures.
*[[Big Good]]: In spite of his morally ambiguous ways, he's the closest thing the show has to one, as he's dedicated to protecting Maiami from the forces of the other dimensions, and is fundamentally opposing Professor Leo Akaba, who's responsible for the war between Academia and the Resistance.
*[[Big "Shut Up!"]]: Shouts at Hokuto and Yaiba to make them stop trash talking Yuya's dad, declaring that he highly respects Yusho for being a pioneer in Action Duels.
*[[Brutal Honesty]]: Outright tells Yuya that he can't save Yuzu with his naivety and self-righteousness
*[[Character Tics: Primarily adjusting his glasses.
*[[The Chessmaster]]: He's implied to have spent the last three years preparing for the inevitable inter-dimensional war when it comes to the Standard Dimension, and likes to be aware of everything that happens in the city to make sure it doesn't interfere with his plans. Episode 52 reveals that the Leo Duel Schools that have been set up around the world were a cover; they're actually Duel Monster-type military training camps where duelists learned the skills needed to prepare for the war with Academia, and with said war beginning the schools are opening to the public so everyone can learn to defend themselves in case of a second invasion.
*[[Chick Magnet]]: As seen in Episode 27, he has a lot of fangirls.
*[[Composite Character]]: A lot of his traits draw on aspects from previous Yu-Gi-Oh! rivals, most notably Seto Kaiba:
**He's a sixteen year old CEO of a gaming corporation who uses a monster with a 3000 ATK Level 8 monster, which he runs three copies of in his Deck, and they are also the only ones that exist in the world (Though it's not a Dragon-type or something with "dragon" in the name).
**He also considers his father an enemy (though for different reasons than Kaiba).
**He does have a little brother, drawing parallels to Kaiba, Kaiser and Kaito.
**He also channels Jack Atlas, as he mentions kings a lot in his summoning chants, and his monsters are named after famous conquerors. Ironic considering Jack is a character in this series.
**Moving away from rivals, he also has some similarities to Rex Goodwin, with his morally ambiguous actions for some unstated duel, and keep an eye on duelists to bring out their potential.
**His playing style is essentially a mix between Atem and Kaiba's playing styles. Like Kaiba, Reiji plays a lot of powerhouses and can defeat the opponent through overwhelming beatdowns, but he has much more varieties and relies a lot on Spell Cards and combos, like Atem. And like Atem, Reiji does not focus on a single ace monster, but has a an entire army of reliable monsters in his arsenal.
*[[Curb-Stomp Battle]]: His Duel against Roget is basically this. He defeats the first Roget hologram with an OTK, and then he defeats the second one during the hologram's Draw Phase. Reiji would repeat the same combo to all of the next holograms.
*[[Deadpan Snarker]]:Towards Roger whenever he speaks to him he will often snark and him.He also snarks at Yuya during their second duel
*[[Dark Is Not Evil]]: In spite of his DARK Fiend-Type deck, Reiji is a polite and reasonable person and proves to be a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]].
