Shun Kurosaki (manga)


 * This is the manga version of Shun Kurosaki. For the anime character, see here.

Shun Kurosaki is a character appearing in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V (manga). He is the #2 agent of a special squad of the Leo Corporation, working under Reiji Akaba.

Personality
In contrast with his original counterpart, Shun sees and seeks duels not for fun, but for the danger and the thrill feeling of being able to defeat his opponents into the dust. And for this reason he chose to duel in the underground duel arena, where the applause and cheers of spectators don’t faze him or exite him. He only seeks a serious and genuine battle, thus, he resents Duelist like Yūya who duels for fun.

History
Years before the events Shun won 1st place in Mental Math competition with Yuzu being 2nd and Futoshi being 3rd. Shun was infamously known Duelist in the underground Duel Arena. Three months before the series, Nico Smiley recommended Shun to Reiji, who was gathering Duelists to form a special team to capture the Phantom. Shun agreed to Reiji's offer to help him capture the Phantom and two months later, the special chase group to catch the Phantom that consisted of Shingo, Sora, and himself was formed.

Chapter 1
Once the Leo Corporation staff detected the presence of "Phantom", Reiji sent Shun, Shingo Sawatari, and Sora Shiun'in to pursue him in helicopters. Reiji ordered #1, Shingo, and #2, Shun to capture "Phantom" in a pincer attack, while #3, Sora, would capture him from the sky, with Shun mentally complaining that he had to receive orders from him.

Yūya & Yūto vs. Shingo Sawatari
Throughout the whole duel between Yūya and Yūto against Shingo, Shun was watching from the helicopter and expressed his shock when Yūya performed Pendulum Summon that quickly defeated Shingo. The moment Shingo was defeated, Shun and Sora jumped from the helicopter, ready to arrest Yūya, but the latter turned out to be a projection from Solid Vision while the real Yūya was at the other side of the building and successfully escaped from them.
