Tops

Tops (トップス Toppusu) refers to the upper class of City's society. They appear in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Etymology
Tops probably came from the word Top, meaning "high".

History
City's society is entirely competition based, where the "winners" stand to gain everything, and the "losers" stand to lose everything. The upper 1% of City's population is known as the Tops. They control 99% of the city's wealth, and live in a magnificent cityscape of highways, skyscrapers, villas, and even smaller metropolises that tower high above the slums the Commons, or the remaining 99% of the population, reside in. It is patrolled by Security, who will apprehend any Commons that are in Tops-exclusive areas without authorization. The Tops openly discriminate against the Commons, with the possible exception of Commons who are able to achieve great things and become Tops themselves, such as Jack Atlas, who won the Friendship Cup and became Duel King.

During the Maiami Championship, Yūgo and Yuzu Hīragi were transported to a Tops-exclusive area by Yuzu's bracelet, where the two explained to each other their knowledge of the events that had transpired before they were discovered by Tops residents, prompting them to flee on Yūgo's D-Wheel only to be forced into a Riding Duel by Security.

During a Security raid at the Underground Dueling Arena, the Tops were escorted out of the scnce while the Commons were all arrested.

The Tops is seen to have a special seating: At the Duel Palace, while the Commons sat in the normal audience seats, the tops sat in special, luxurious rooms.
