Yūri Sakaki


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

Yūri is one of main characters in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V (manga) series. He is one of four personalities residing within Yūya Sakaki.

Appearance
Yūri's appearance is similar with his original counterpart, he has very short, thick, pink eyebrows and purple eyes. Like his counterparts, his hair is two-toned, in his case being uniformly violet with pink underneath - his fringes extending to frame his face, with two pointing upwards.

His outfit appears to be an officer's uniform of sorts, consisting of a purple and light blue waistcoat, pink cravat, a two-part cape of red and purple coat, a purple abbreviated coat with thick cuffs and gold shoulder bands with an amber-colored setting, fastened at the collar bone, and light blue pants tucked into silver-tinted leather boots.

Like Yūto, when in control of Yūya's body, his clothes stays the same for exception of his two-part red and purple cape that was replaced with Yūya's cloak.

Personality
Yūri's character is almost a total opposite of his original counterpart. Yūri is on friendly terms with Yūya, Yūto, and Yūgo. While he still retain his cruel and somewhat sadistic side, this side of him is shown in more comical fashion. Yūri always speaks in direct emotional way without thinking of how the person he talks to feels, which is quite similar with the original Yūgo but Yūri is fully aware of how his words would impact others. His choice of words is rougher when he is annoyed, as oppose to his original who is more polite. He is also perceptive, easily able to tell lies. Like Yūto and Yūgo, Yūri cares for Yūya and protective of him, though his level of protectiveness goes farther to the point he will mercilessly beat up anyone who harms him in anyway regardless of the reason even if Yūya ask him not to.

Past
At yet unknown point in the past, Yūri somehow shared body with Yūya. Together with Yūto and Yūgo who were also sharing body with Yūya, they erased Yūya's scattered memories about them inside his mind. The reason they were doing this is not yet revealed, but whatever happened before made Yūya sad enough to make them decided to erase all memories that involved them.

Erasing Yūya's Memories
Yūri first appeared along side Yūgo, riding on the back of the latter's D-Wheel, touring inside Yūya's mind. He told Yūgo that if they didn't go back immediately, Yūya might started to become suspicious, but Yūgo assured him that he already entrusted the matter to Yūto to make a cover up for them. They then stopped when they spotted a shard of broken glass that Yūgo picked up and stated it might be a fragment of his memories. Yūri questioned was Yūgo thinking of wanting Yūya to remember him, but Yūgo denied this, reminding that if he wishes so then he won't purposely erased Yūya's memories. Yūri then reminded him that it's better for their memories to remain disappear inside Yūya, to which Yūgo replied that the understood since there's only sadness if Yūya remember it.

Yūri vs. Sora
Deeming Yūya was too kind as he saw him starting to falter after hearing Sora's story about his younger sister, Yūri decided to take matters into his own hands and forcefully switched place with Yūya in the middle of his Duel against Sora, stating that it would be appropriate for Sora's Fusion Deck to face his own Fusion Deck, and he himself was irritated at Sora. Yūri warned Sora that he wasn't as soft as Yūya did, much to the latter's protest from the inside. Surprised at Yūya's sudden change of attitude (not knowing about his split personalities), Sora tried to reason with Yūri by once again bringing up his sick younger sister, but Yūri coldly shouted at Sora that he could just go to hell with his younger sister because it has nothing to do with him, showing he doesn't care a slightest bit about it.

Abilities
Yūri is athletic and acrobatic with strong tolerance for pain. Like Yūya, he is able to manipulate Solid Vision system, though not as much as Yūya could. In his case, he is able to manifest a vine whip to take an Action Card that is faraway from him like Yūya does with his pigeon.

Deck
Like his original counterpart, Yūri uses "Predator Plants" Deck that consists of carnivorous plant-like monsters. However, sharing a body and Deck with Yūya, Yūri also uses a magic card like "Pendulum Fusion" that enables him to perform Fusion Summon by using Pendulum monsters.
