Duel Chaser 227

Duel Chaser 227 (デュエルチェイサー２２７ Dyueru Cheisā Nini Nana) is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. He works for Security and received the order to go after Yūgo for trespassing in the "Tops" area of the City.

Personality
227 is confident in his skills, claiming he has a 100% arrest rate and that he wouldn't let Yūgo get past him.

Etymology
This character code name 227 is a reference to 227 rules for fully ordained monks in Theravada Buddhism.

Synchro Dimension Arc
When Yūgo trespassed in the City's Tops area and fled, 227 was sent after him.

Yūgo won the first corner and took the first turn. The Duel was then broadcast from a helicopter to various places around the City, including the homes of the Tops, with Melissa Claire commentating. He and Yūgo exchanged blows with their Synchro Monsters. 227 took each of Yūgo's "Hyperspeedroid" monsters by Synchro Summoning "Goyo" Synchro Monsters on each of his turns, prompting Yūgo to question the morality of that playing style. Throughout the Duel, Jean-Michel Roger would translate the Duel into a chess game from his office. When 227 thought he was about to finish Yūgo off, Roger warned him not to attack, but he didn't listen and allowed Yūgo to win the Duel by using "Dice Roll Battle" to Summon his "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon", which defeated 227 and stopped his D-Wheel. After he was defeated, Roger said that he was done with 227.

Friendship Cup
227 was fired and demoted down to the Commons as a result of this loss, even being arrested by his former colleagues. Shortly thereafter, however, he received an invitation Roger to enter the Friendship Cup, offering to restore him to his former position if he defeated Yūya Sakaki. The invitation also contained a Fusion Monster, "Goyo Emperor".

He Dueled Yūya in the first Duel of the second day of the Friendship Cup the following day, addressed as a Duel Chaser and wearing uniform again. Yūya attempted to alert the crowd about the fate of the losers of the Cup, but was met with mockery and ignorance. 227 told Yūya to either Duel or surrender, albeit not unkindly. He traded blows with Yūya equally using "Goyo Predator", but when Yūya hesitated before he could launch a game winning attack, 227 was able to defend himself with an Action Card. He proceeded to Fusion Summon "Goyo Emperor" on his next turn, and pushed Yūya into a corner. Yūya came back on the next turn with "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon", destroying "Goyo Emperor" and reclaiming control of his monsters, then brutally defeating 227 with "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon". The attack knocked 227 from his D-Wheel, badly injuring him. He was last seen being loaded onto a stretcher as Yūya tried to prevent the authorities from taking him to the Underground Labor Facility.

In the Labor Facility, 227 still believed his status as a former Tops would grant him some degree of comfort, but was disavowed of this notion by Gallager, the man in charge of the Labor Facility.

227 and a number of other former Security officers participated in a rebellion within the Underground Labor Facility, with he and his fellow former officers attacking Gallager.

Deck
Duel Chaser 227 uses a Deck centered on "Goyo" Synchro Monsters, to take control of the opponent's monsters after destroying them by battle, likely a homage to the Sector Security officer Tetsu Ushio who, is known for his use of "Goyo Guardian".
