Antagonists
Dark Signers
Dark Signers are the antagonists of the second arc of the
show, who fight against the Crimson Dragon and the Signers. Dark Signers
are born when someone who has died (usually someone wanting revenge on a
Signer) is resurrected by an Earthbound Immortal (Earthbound God in the
Japanese version), evil entities imprisoned in the Nazca Lines by the
Crimson Dragon. Infused with dark powers and possessing dark cards, the
Dark Signers are able to form a barrier around their opponents,
initiating a Shadow Duel where attacks from monsters cause real damage.
Sometimes, if the Dark Signer is showing weakness or resistance, the
Earthbound Immortal itself can take over the Dark Signer's body. Dark
Signers have special cards called Dark Tuner Monsters that can summon
Dark Synchro Monsters with a negative level. They also have an
Earthbound Immortal, represented by their birthmarks. When summoned,
these monsters sacrifice the souls of anyone caught within the Dark
Signer's geoglyph (with the exception of the duelists, Signers, and
anyone protected by a barrier emitted by a Signer's birthmark). Their
common attribute is the ability to attack directly and not be chosen as a
target, although some circumstances allow them to attack monsters and
be attacked themselves. In the anime, they are unaffected by Spell and
Trap cards.
There are also Dark Signer-like figures (called Shadow Drones in the
dub) who are recruited and controlled by Roman's spiders. They only have
access to Dark Tuner and Dark Synchro Monsters. When these Shadow
Drones are defeated, their Mark of the Shadows and Deck disappear, and
they lose their memories of being possessed. According to Goodwin, a
true Dark Signer cannot be returned to normal, because they have already
died. In addition, their duels end with the losing duelist being killed
(in the dub, the loser is sent to the Netherworld). When a true Dark
Signer is defeated, all the souls that were used for summoning their
Earthbound Immortal are freed (this also seems to apply to non-Dark
Signers who were defeated in Shadow Duels). After Goodwin and the King
of the Netherworld are defeated, Goodwin and Roman pass on to the
afterlife while
Carly, Misty, and Devack are revived with no memory of their time as Dark Signers.
Kalin is later shown to still remember his time as a Dark Signer, as well as
Greiger. It is speculated that they kept their memories because, unlike the others, they willingly became Dark Signers.
- Rex Goodwin (レクス・ゴドウィン Rekusu Godowin?) Voiced by: Shinya Kote (Japanese), Maddie Blaustein (episodes 2-14) and Pete Zarustica (episodes 15+) (English)
- Rex Goodwin is the leader of the Yliaster cell working in New Domino
City and the Director of Sector Security, as well as the main
antagonist of the first and second arc of the show. He, alongside his
brother Roman, was an assistant to Professor Fudo during the Zero
Reverse accident. With his elitism, he transformed the city into a
hierarchical society. He shows interest in the Signers, and he explains
their significance to Jack prior to holding the Fortune Cup to gather
the remaining Signers and awaken their powers. Rex is shown to be
aggressive if necessary, but he usually has a calm demeanor. A legendary
Turbo Duelist, Goodwin lost his left arm around the time he didn't
finish Daedalus Bridge (the only means for the Satellite to be connected
with the city) and had it replaced with a cybernetic one which doubles
as his duel disk. He additionally possesses his brother's severed arm
with the head part of the Mark of the Dragon. In the dub he claims to be
the fifth signer, but it is not actually so. But after the deaths of
the Dark Signers, Rex reveals himself to have become one of them during a
duel with Roman, having the condor birthmark on his back and control of
the Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca. Furthermore, he integrates his
brother's arm onto himself to gain the power of a Signer as part of his
plan to use both the Earthbound Immortals and the Crimson Dragon to
recreate the world in his image. He is defeated by the joint efforts of
Yusei, Jack and Crow, and passes onto the afterlife with Roman. His ace
is the Synchro Monster Sun Dragon Inti and the Dark Synchro Monster Moon
Dragon Quilla.
- In the manga, Rex Goodwin hosts the D1 Grand Prix or D1GP for short
in order to find the Emperor of Turbo Duels. But as he reveals to Yusei,
the real reason for the tournament is to gather Duelists that can wield
the power of the Duel Dragons to save the world from The Skeleton
Knight.
- Roman Goodwin / Rudger Goodwin (ルドガー・ゴドウィン Rudogā Godowin?) Voiced by: Taketora (Japanese), Marc Thompson (English)
- Roman is the leader of the Dark Signers and 1 of the main
antagonists of the second arc. He possesses a birthmark resembling the
Spider Nazca line
and can use it send out spiders that can possess civilians, turning
them into Dark Signers, and giving them Shadow powers and Dark Tuner and
Synchro Monsters. The spiders can also be used as a means of
surveillance, reporting all they has found once they return to their
owner. Roman reveals himself to be Rex Goodwin's big brother and an
assistant to Professor Fudo (Yusei's Father), until he met a mysterious
man from Yliaster. The man told him to look into Ener-D's light and
learn about the Earthbound Immortals' battle against the Crimson Dragon.
Though revealed to be the Fifth Signer, Roman betrays Professor Fudo
and causes the Zero Reverse incident after ripping his own arm off and
giving it to Rex, telling him to unite the Signers. The resulting
explosion transforms Roman into a Dark Signer.
- Like Rex, Roman has a bionic arm, which he uses to trigger
explosives. He is defeated by Yusei, but before he dies, he triggers an
explosion that sends Yusei down into the pool Ener-D. His deck focuses
around Spider type monsters, and specializes in changing an opponent's
monster into defense mode to obtain counters for summoning his
Earthbound Immortal Uru. Uru can control an opponent's monster by
sacrificing one of his own. Roman is later defeated by Yusei, but he
sets off an explosive in his mechanical arm before crumbling to dust, so
that Yusei would fall into the gate to the Netherworld. His spirit
remains in the world until Goodwin is defeated, at which point Roman
joins his brother in the afterlife. His ace is the Dark Synchro
Underground Arachnid
- Misty Tredwell / Misty Lola (ミスティ・ローラ Misuti Rōra?) Voiced by: Junko Minagawa (Japanese), Rebecca Soler (English)
- Misty is a famous model who can read someone based on facial appearance. When her younger brother, Toby,
is allegedly killed by Akiza's powers (disappeared in the English dub),
Misty's depression causes her to drive off a cliff, which results in
her resurrection as a Dark Signer with the lizard birthmark and the
Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua. Ccarayhua destroys all cards in play on
both sides of the field when it is destroyed.
-
-
- Misty seeks out Akiza, and duels her with the intent of gaining
revenge. Their duel, however, is postponed due to the aftershock of
Carly's duel with Sayer, so Misty waits for Akiza at the Lizard control
unit. She duels Akiza again in the Hall of Mirrors of an old carnival
site, while showing Akiza events from the past to lower her spirit.
However, Misty eventually learns that Sayer was the one who killed Toby,
and after using Ccarayhua to take revenge on Sayer, she is defeated by
Akiza, who stops the Earthbound Immortal inside of Misty. Misty is
revived by Goodwin as he fades away.
- She uses a "Reptilianne" Deck featuring cards to either seal her
opponent's draw phase or remove all her opponent's monster attack power,
and her ace monster is Dragon Queen of Tragic Endings. Like Carly, she
is never seen with any Dark Synchro monsters. She also appears to be
able to use lizards as surveillance, much like Roman's spiders.
- Devack / Demak (ディマク Dimaku?) Voiced by: Kenji Nomura (Japanese), Scottie Ray (English)
- Devack is another Dark Signer who has Ancient Fairy Dragon in his
possession. Devack hates the Signers although his reason for doing so is
never explained. He possesses the birthmark of the monkey and the
Earthbound Immortal Cusillu. During the chaos surrounding Carly and
Misty's duels, he frees Greiger, who was being escorted by Security and
recruits him for the Dark Signers. He duels Leo and Luna in the Spirit
World, but is defeated and turns to dust when Luna reappears and
reclaims Ancient Fairy Dragon. He is the first Dark Signer to be
defeated, when he is beaten by Leo and Luna. After Goodwin's defeat,
Devack is revived.
- Like his birthmark, his deck features Monkey monsters, including the
Dark Synchro Monster Zeman the Ape King, which focuses around
increasing the power of his monsters in play through the number of
monsters in his graveyard. He is also able to use captured spirits from
the Spirit Realm in order to summon his Earthbound Immortal Cusillu, who
can avoid destruction and cut its opponent's life points in half if
Devack sacrifices his other monsters in order to do so.
- Grady / Dick Pitt (ディック・ピット Dikko Pitto?) Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya (Japanese), Wayne Grayson (English)
- Grady is a street duelist, who was possessed by one of Roman's
spiders and became a Shadow Drone. He challenges Yusei to a Shadow Duel,
using an ice-themed deck, and a Dark Synchro monster called Frozen
Fitzgerald. When he is defeated by Yusei, he returns to normal, and does
not remember what just happened. Grady is unnamed in the English Dub.
Yliaster
Originally led by Goodwin,
Yliaster (イリアステル Iriasuteru?)
was an organization of Star Guardians, who are said to bring peace to
the world and worship the Crimson Dragon. Their true purpose, however,
is to steer the world to change the future, which was destroyed by Dr
Fudo's creation of Ener-D (Momentum in Japanese). In the third season,
the founding Yliaster members come from the future with the purpose of
setting things right. They hope to accomplish this by harnessing energy
from Turbo Duels during the WRGP to power the Ark Cradle, which will be
used to destroy Ener-D, and ultimately New Domino City and Satellite,
and thus undo the calamity Ener-D had caused.
- Z-ONE (ゾーン Zōn?) Voiced by: Hideo Ishikawa
- Z-ONE is the leader of Yliaster, who is a mysterious figure that
Three Emperors of Yliaster revere. He is the one who give them life, and
he also gave them the Meklord Emperors. However, Z-ONE gave Yusei
Shooting Star Dragon, and created Antinomy to make all possibilities
equal for both sides. Along with Aporia, Paradox and Antinomy, Z-ONE was
one of the four last remaining survivors of a future destroyed by a
Meklord Emperor-Synchro Monster War and a global Ener-D explosion. When
Aporia, Paradox and Antinomy died of old age, Z-ONE revived them as
cyborgs in order to help him rewrite the future, which involves the
destruction of New Domino City. As Z-ONE battles against Yusei, he is
shown to have the face of an older Yusei. When the Synchro War began,
Z-ONE performed an operation on himself to gain the appearance and
abilities of Yusei, so he could help as many people as possible. Z-ONE
fell into despair when he wasn't able to. Thus, he believes the only way
to save the world is to destroy New Domino City in the past. However,
after losing to Yusei and getting a change of heart, Z-ONE sacrifices
himself to stop the Ark Cradle from destroying the city. Z-ONE uses a
Time Lord Deck, made up of giant cards formed from stone tablets and
handled with giant mechanical arms. These cards specialize in burn
damage. He also has Trap cards that can be activated from his hand. His
main cards are his ten Time Lord Monsters that can only stay on the
field for one turn but have devastating effects. His ace monster,
Sephylon, the Ultimate Time Lord, can remain on the field indefinitely
and gains attack points equal to the number of Time Lords on his field,
including itself.
- Aporia (アポリア Aporia?)
- Voiced by: Masakazu Nemoto, Takayuki Sugō (old), Hitomi Yoshida (child) (Japanese), Jason Anthony Griffith (English)
- Aporia is a cyborg from the future, one of the last remaining humans
after the Ener-D explosion. On the verge of death, Aporia allowed Z-ONE
split him into three incarnations, in order to go back into past and
alter it. The three incarnations, known as the Three Emperors of
Yliaster, are also known as the three tragedies of Aporia's lifetime,
because they are the embodiments of intregral moments of his despair.
During the end of the WRGP, the Three Emperors combined back into
Aporia, who appears in the peak of his life. Aporia duels against Yusei
and loses, with his body being damaged as a result. He is repaired by
Z-ONE and duels Jack, Leo and Luna in order to protect the Ark Cradle.
He is defeated by them, and they show him that hope is stronger than
despair. As a result, Aporia becomes filled with hope and decides to
face Z-ONE in a duel. Aporia loses and is destroyed as a result. His
Turbo Deck is a composite of the Emperors' Meklord Emperor decks, which
have the ability to absorb Synchro Monsters, along with the strongest
Meklord Emperor, Meklord Astro Mekanikle. His Standing Deck focuses on
effect damage, and features Meklord Armies, and his key monster, Meklord
Astro Dragon Asterisk.
-
- Jakob / José (ホセ Hose?) Voiced by: Takayuki Sugō (Japanese), Matt Hoverman (English)
- Jakob is the defacto leader of the Three Emperors of Yliaster. He is
the incarnation of Aporia's later years, and his despair of being one
of the last four living humans in his time. His ace monster is Meklord
Emperor Granel, which can use the power of the Synchro Monsters it
absorbs.
-
- Lester / Lucciano (ルチアーノ Ruchiāno?) Voiced by: Hitomi Yoshida (Japanese), Tom Wayland (English)
- Lester is the incarnation of Aporia's preteen years, and his despair
of becoming an orphan. Lester's ace monster is Meklord Emperor Skiel.
He is the youngest in the group, with long red hair and a rather
sadistic personality. He is particularly skillful at creating illusions.
He transfers into Duel Academy in order to get close to Luna, and ends
up dueling both her and Leo. After the duel, Lester wipes the memories
of the Duel Academy students so they behave like he doesn't exist. He is
also the first character in the series to use a Duel Board.
-
- Primo / Placido (プラシド Purashido?) Voiced by: Masakazu Nemoto (Japanese), Jason Anthony Griffith (English)
- Primo is the incarnation of Aporia's late teenage years, and his
despair of losing his girlfriend. His ace monster is Meklord Emperor
Wisel. He has dark-gray hair and the ability to control machines. He
carries a sword that can be used to open portals, or can be used as a
futuristic duel disk. He has Lazar steal a Duel Runner program from
Yusei, and install it into a large number of Duel Bots. He eventually
uses these Duel Bots to force Turbo Duelists to crash, in order to speed
up a process that Yliaster was planning. Primo is eventually defeated
by Yusei and is critically damaged, but Z-ONE repairs him.
- Antinomy (アンチノミー Anchinomī?) Voiced by: Tanaka Hiroki (Japanese), Jason Anthony Griffith (English)
- Antinomy, born Johnny (ジョニー Jonī?),
is a technical genius. He was present the day Ener-D overloaded and he
was saved by Z-ONE, who later converted Antinomy into a cyborg. He was
tasked to protect Yusei and teach him Accel Synchro so Yusei's power can
revive Ark Cradle, with some of his memory being erased in order to
better earn Yusei's trust. He is first introduced only as Vizor (Dark
Glass) in his adult form, who informs Yusei about Accel Synchro prior to
crashing during a duel with Primo. He is found by Sector Security in
his teenage form. Going by the name Bruno (ブルーノ Burūno?)),
he is sent to live with Yusei, where his abilities as a super mechanic
are shown when he improves the gang's Duel Runners. Later, when he comes
across a kitten that caused him to crash, he regains his memory as
Vizor, and finishes teaching Yusei about Accel Synchro. When he
accompanies Yusei to the Ark Cradle, he regains his full memory as
Antinomy, and challengse Yusei to a Turbo duel. Antinomy loses the duel
and is engulfed in the Ark Cradle's artificial sun. Complimenting his
technique is his T.G.(Tech Genus) Deck, which is designed to frequently
summon monsters. These monsters are used for multiple Synchro Summons in
order to summon his Accel Synchro Monster, T.G. Blade Blaster. He is
also able to perform a more advanced technique called Delta Accel
Synchro (which uses three Synchro Monsters) to summon his ace monster,
T.G. Halberd Cannon.
- Paradox (パラドックス Paradokkusu?) Voiced by: Atsushi Tamura (Japanese), Sean Schemmel (English)
- Paradox is a turbo duelist, who travels across space and time, and
he is one of the last survivors, along with Z-ONE, Aporia and Antinomy.
He appears in Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time
as the main antagonist, trying to destroy the history of Duel Monsters
in order to save the future. However, he ends up causing more damage to
the timeline than expected. He attempts this by stealing monsters across
time, including Yusei's Stardust Dragon, and converting them into
powerful Malefic monsters, so that he can kill the creator of Duel
Monsters, Maximillion Pegasus. However, Yusei, along with Yugi Mutou and Jaden Yuki,
defeat him in a three-on-one duel, thereby reversing all the damage
Paradox caused to the timeline. Following his defeat, Paradox disappears
into the recesses of time, never to be seen ever again, but not before
he ponders all of the events he caused, and if his intervention was
worthwhile. Paradox uses a Malefic deck made up of Malefic counterparts
of monsters that he steals throughout time, including Malefic Cyber End
Dragon, Malefic Rainbow Dragon, Malefic Stardust, Malefic Blue-Eyes
White Dragon,Malefic, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, his own monster, Malefic
Paradox Dragon, and his ace monster, Malefic Truth Dragon, which he can
fuse with.
- Clark Smith (クラーク・スミス Kurāku Sumisu?) Voiced by: Manabu Sakamaki
- Clark is the director of the Ener-D Express Development Agency, the
company that helped send the Three Emperors to New Domino City. He was
placed in charge of a project called Infinity, which can create
wormholes. He is responsible for the death of Sherry's parents, who
reportedly knew too much about Yliaster. However, when he went against
Yliaster's wishes to eliminate Yusei, Clark is erased from existence by
the Three Emperors. Clark uses a geometric deck.
- Fake Jack Atlas (偽者ジャック・アトラス Nisemono Jakku Atorasu?) Voiced by: Takanori Hoshino (Japanese), Ted Lewis (English)
- Fake Jack Atlas is a robotic imposter that frames Jack for forcing
people to crash during duels. He rides a Duel Runner similar to Jack's
Phoenix Whirlwind (Wheel of Fortune in the Japanese version) and uses a
deck identical to his, with three copies of Red Dragon Archfiend (that
for some reason are purple, yellow and blue instead of red, but none of
the characters seem to realize this fact). His personality and tactics,
however, are more representative of Jack's prior to his defeat at the
hands of Yusei, at the end of the Fortune Cup. He uses brute force to
overpower his opponents. He is obliterated when Jack defeats him using
Majestic Red Dragon. He is revealed to be a Duel Bot, like Ghost, when
he is obliterated by the outcome of the duel between him and the real
Jack.
- Guard Robot (ガードロボ Gādo Robo?) Voiced by: Suzune Okabe (Japanese), Dan Green (English)
- Guard Robot is a giant duel robot that uses an advanced program to
predict its opponent's moves, and uses a Lock Down deck designed to seal
off various methods of dueling.
- Ghost (ゴースト Gōsuto?) Voiced by: Kawanago Masahito (Japanese), Jason Anthony Griffith (English)
- Ghosts are Duel Bots (Riding Roids in Japanese), robots originally
designed for testing Duel Runners for Sector Security, but which have
since been reprogrammed by Primo to force other duelists to crash in
Turbo Duels. While the first Ghost was defeated by Yusei, Primo steals a
program created by Yusei and Bruno, and installs it into an army of
Ghosts (collectively known as the Diablo) that he releases throughout
the city.
Others
- Sayer / Divine (ディヴァイン Divain?) Voiced by: Masaya Matsukaze (Japanese), Marc Thompson (English)
- Sayer is a mysterious man who took Akiza under his wing, and was the
founder of a group of psychic duelists, known as the Arcadia Movement,
that opposes Yliaster, and conjectures that they are planning to use the
Crimson Dragon, for world domination. The movement is for uniting
Psychic Duelists who have been rejected by the outside world, while
Sayer is raising an army of psychic soldiers to get revenge on everyone
who mistreated them. He is willing to experiment on children to unleash
their full potential. Furthermore, because he has threatened to expose
Goodwin, Sayer is able to perform his deeds without being investigated.
Sayer is later eliminated by Misty (through her Earthbound Immortal,
Ccarayhua), when she learns it was him who was responsible for the death
of her brother. Matching his powers, Sayer uses a Deck filled with
Psychic Monsters, with his main Synchro Monster being the Thought Ruler
Archfiend (Mental Sphere Demon in Japanese).

- Zeman is an evil monkey spirit who commands an army of monkey
soldiers. He is one of Devack's Dark Synchro monsters, and he can
prevent activation of Spell and Trap cards until after the Damage Phase.
He and his army use special staffs that imprison Duel Monster Spirits
in stone tablets for use as Minus-level monsters. The staffs are also
able to reverse the nature of things (e.g. making leaves fall up into
trees, making people hear the opposite of what others say). He is
destroyed when Regulus neutralizes his negative energy.
- Lawton / Lotten (ロットン Rotten?) Voiced by: Masami Iwasaki (Japanese), David Wills (English)

family, which competes for ownership of a mine in Crash Town. He rides a
transformable Duel Runner. His key monster is Gatling Ogre, which has
the ability to defeat an opponent before he even takes his turn (by
inflicting 4000 LP of damage, even on the first turn of a Duel). He
conspires with Barbara to overthrow Malcolm and take over Crash Town.
- Familiar of the Crimson Devil (紅蓮の悪魔のしもべ Guren no Akuma no Shimobe?) Voiced by: Yūki Fujiwara (Japanese)
- The Familiar of the Crimson Devil is the fiery servant of Scar-Red
Nova, a powerful Earthbound Immortal also known as the Crimson Devil.
Not even the Dark Signers could control the Crimson Devil. He tempts
Jack into dueling him for a chance to gain power. The true motive is a
ritual to revive the Crimson Devil. However, he is defeated when Jack
gains a Burning Soul, and absorbs Scar-Red Nova's power to form Red Nova
Dragon. The Familiar uses large stone slabs in place of cards, and his
'deck' focuses on destroying his own monsters to deal effect damage.
After his defeat to Jack Atlas, the statue of Scar-Red Nova falls over,
crushing and killing the Familiar

Duelists
Fortune Cup
The Fortune Cup is a tournament organized by Rex Goodwin with the
purpose of awakening the powers of the Signers. The winner will be able
to challenge Jack Atlas for the title of King. Along with Yusei, Akiza
and Leo (disguised as Luna), there are other duelists whose jobs are to
put pressure on their opponents in order to awaken their abilities (the
exception is Hunter Pace, who replaced one of the combatants in order to
beat Yusei).
- Hunter Pace / Mukuro Enjo (炎城 ムクロ Enjō Mukuro?) Voiced by: Naoki Yanagi (Japanese), Marc Thompson (English)
- Hunter is seen in the first episode trying to win Jack's title and
losing. In the English language dub he is the former champion trying to
reclaim the title he lost to Jack some time before the series began. In
the original version however, he is only identified as a challenger and
there is no indication that he ever was the champion or had previously
dueled Jack. In the eighth episode, he returns with a new deck to duel
Jack, but loses again. He returns again to participate in the Fortune
Cup by forcibly replacing the cloaked duelist known as "The Reborn
Reaper" Shira, and loses to Yusei. He plays a Speed-based deck
exclusively for Turbo Duels, focusing on gaining Speed Counters as
quickly as possible, as well as effect damage. His Ace Monster is "Skull
Flame".
- In the manga, Hunter was the second opponent that Yusei Fudo fought
in the D1GP. Prior to his duel with Yusei, Hunter went into his garage
and stole a part from Yusei's duel runner that prevented it from
speeding up. This, along with the effects of Hunter's monsters put Yusei
at a serious disadvantage in their duel. However Yusei manages to win
despite the odds. Hunter uses a Vehicle deck focused around negating
attacks.
- Gill Randsborg / Jill deLauncebeaux (ジル・ド・ランスボウ Jiru do Ransubō?) Voiced by: Yōji Ueda (Japanese), Eric Stuart (English)
- Gill Randsborg is a duelist in the Fortune Cup tournament who claims
to be a descendant of the "knights of old", and he dresses as such. He
is first to challenge Akiza, using his "Masked Knight"-series "LV"
monsters. He barely survives the final blow from Akiza's "Black Rose
Dragon". In the English version, he speaks mostly in Shakespearean English,
but at the end of his duel with Akiza, he panics and uses normal
English with a Wisconsin accent (as well as confessing that he made his
costume especially for this duel).
- Professor Frank (フランク博士 Furanku Hakase?) Voiced by: Toshihiko Seki (Japanese), Tom Wayland (English)
- Professor Frank is a creepy duelist (and admitted assassin) from
China. He battles Luna in a special Consolation Duel, for the losers of
the first round of the Fortune Cup tournament. He seems nice and
pleasant at first, but he is able to put Luna in a trance that
transports her mind to the World of Duel Monster Spirits. He soon
follows after to contaminate the world with his evil intentions,
revealing himself to not be completely sane. His main monster is Ido,
the Supreme Magical Force.
- Commander Koda / Kodo Kinomiya (来宮 虎堂 Kinomiya Kodō?) Voiced by: Tarusuke Shingaki (Japanese), Marc Diraison (English)
- Koda is a participant in the Fortune Cup who is often called "The
Duel Profiler". His opponent in the first round, Professor Frank, threw
the match so Frank could play Luna in the Consolation Duel. Koda's
opponent in the semifinals was Akiza. He studied her past so he could
throw her off by reminding her of how her psychic abilities hurt others.
Nevertheless, she went on to defeat and severely damage him with her
powers.
- In the manga, Koda was a contestant in the D1GP. He managed to enter
the second stage of the tournament but was defeated by a mysterious
being created from a duel dragon card.
World Racing Grand Prix
The following are the competitors in the World Racing Grand Prix
(World Riding Duel Grand Prix in Japanese version, WRGP for short)
alongside Team 5D's and Yliaster's Team New World. Players battle in
teams of up to three players, each with 4000 points per player. When one
player's life points reach zero, the next player takes over until all
players are eliminated.
- Team 5D's (チーム・5D's Chīmu Faibu Dīzu?)

- Andre is the team's forerunner, generally hailed as a card-playing
genius. He uses two decks, a Fast Power deck and a Unicorn deck, both of
which rely heavily on special effects. His key card is Thunder Unicorn.

Using a Dark Card called Hook the Hidden Knight that was a gift from
Primo, the team can cause the wheels on their opponents' Duel Runners to
lock, making them crash. The members are Nicolas, Hermann and Hans.
Although they manage to defeat Team Unicorn, they are beaten by Team
5D's when their second dark card - Doom's Ray - backfires.

is 5D's opponent in the semi-finals of the WRGP. Similar to the power
of the Signers, the team possesses powerful Rune Eyes and three Aesir
(Polar God) cards which provide protection from the effects of
Yliaster's ability to alter history. These cards seem to resonate when
battling against the Signer's dragons. The team's original intention was
to beat Team New World and stop Yliaster's plans by themselves, but the
team was defeated by 5D's. When Ark Cradle appears in the sky, the team
aids the members of 5D's by using their powers to create a bridge to
board the floating city.

Others
- Lenny / Uryū (瓜生?)Voiced by: Toshiyuki Kusuda (Japanese), Anthony Salerno (English)
- Lenny is an insect duelist and former Domino resident who harasses
Tank. He later comes with his two henchmen, Larry and Lug, to try to
take Yusei's Duel Runner by force. Yusei duels him and wins, and they
part on friendly terms, with Lenny promising to win next time they duel.
