Asuka Tenjōin

Asuka Tenjōin ( Tenjōin Asuka) is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. She is the alternate universe version of the Asuka Tenjōin from ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX ''anime series.

Appearance
Asuka has pale skin, hazel eyes and long dark blonde hair that extends halfway down her back. Asuka wears a similar outfit to both her ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX incarnation's Obelisk Blue uniform and the outfit that her manga counterpart sports after graduation; a sleeveless white jacket that reaches the waist with grey-blue edges and pockets on each side; a sleeveless black tank top; gray-blue finger-less gloves with wide cuffs and rectangles cut out over the backs of the hands in addition to white undersections that cover her wrists; a darker blue pleated and less restrictive skirt with a grey-blue lining; and blue boots that are the same design as those her GX'' counterpart wore, but lighter in colour. In her first appearance, she was wearing a black cloak to conceal her identity.

Etymology
Her surname has been written as "Tenjouin", "Tenjōin", and "Tenjyoin" in Roman characters. Her given name in the Japanese version means "tomorrow's fragrance". Her English name means "helper" or "defender".

Past
Like other Duelists in Fusion Dimension, Asuka was sent to Academia to be trained as Duel soldier once she graduated elementary school. However, Asuka grew to doubt Academia's plan to invade other dimensions and change people into cards, and she deserted. She then met Yūshō who helped her hiding from Academia and taught him his philosophy to bring smile through Dueling. Since then, she polished her skills with other students everyday to spread Yūshō's teaching and continue to help other former Academia Duelists who are running away, making her infamous among the Juvenille Officers.

Duel Against Juvenile Officers
Asuka posed as a gondolier, looking around the town until she heard the commotion. Following the commotion, Asuka spotted Yuzu cornered by the Juvenile Officers and decided to save her. She told Yuzu to stand back while she Duelled them. Asuka easily defeated all three of them with her Ritual Monster, "Cyber Angel - Vishnu", and took Yuzu to You Show School, where revealed that all Duelists who escaped from Academia are hiding there and she then brought her to Yūshō.
