Jack Atlas

Jack Atlas (ジャック・アトラス Jakku Atorasu) was one of the main characters in Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's and also was one of the signers. He, along Crow Hogan, are set to make a return in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V.

He is the Duel King, a native of the Commons section of City within the Synchro Dimension. He rose through the ranks and won the Friendship Cup, allowing him to live in Tops.

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.

Personality
Jack Atlas's personality is similar as 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 Riding Duel against Yūya Sakaki and that he would be overwhelmed by his power. He also sees himself as an Entertainment Duelist, but his philosophy on this is quite different from Yūya's, who uses flashy presentation and tricks. He believes strength is used to entertain the crowd and views Yūya's Entertainment Dueling as self-satisfaction only.

Past
Jack was born in the Commons area of City and was an orphan. Through Riding Dueling, he was able to to eventually win the Friendship Cup, gaining the title of Duel King, and was then allowed to reside in Tops. He is the first known Common to win the Friendship Cup.

Jack became an idol and hero to many young children in the Commons, including Yūgo and Rin. This motivated them to train hard so they could face off against him one day. However, there are also some people in Commons who viewed Jack as traitor, including Crow and Sam.

According to Sam, Jack, who at first was viewed as hero for the Commons started to change after he lives a luxury life with the Tops. At one time, Sam tried to have an autograph from him, only to be pushed away and Jack gave him "Tuning Magician" as he told him that the card with such lower level suits him who is also someone with lower status.

Friendship Cup Exhibition Duel
When the Lancers were dragged before the Executive Council, they agreed with Jean-Michel Roger of Security to have Yūya Sakaki Duel Jack in an exhibition match the night before the Friendship Cup would start.

Jack entered the arena after Yūya did and, before Action-Riding Duel started, told the public how the Duel would unfold: he will win in three turns. Jack won the first corner against the novice Riding Duelist Yūya as he predicted and proceeded to summon "Red Wyvern". Yūya immediately Pendulum Summoned using all cards in his hand, succesfully bringing out "Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon". Yūya attacked, attempting to win with an FTK. "Dark Rebellion's" attack reduced his LP to 300, but Jack survived the rest of the attack using a combination of "Underworld Avoid" and "Reject Reborn". Jack told Yūya that his way of entertaining was wrong because they were just for self-satisfaction and the way he is now, he doesn't have what it takes to surpass him. He proceeded to Summon "Red Demon's Dragon Scar-right" on his next turn. Jack used its effect to destroy all Yūya's monsters that decreased 500 of his LP for each monster destroyed and attacked him directly with it. This won Jack the Duel in an OTK and knocked Yūya off his D-Wheel.

After the exhibition match, Jack was seen sitting on his throne while watching the Friendship Cup duels.

Abilities
Jack is known as the strongest Duelist in City, earning him the title of the "Duel King". As a Riding Duelist he is very powerful, becoming the first Duel King from the  Commons  and gaining access to the  Tops  despite his area of birth. He quickly adapted his Riding Dueling to Action Dueling when Cross Over was used in conjunction with Speed World - Neo.
