Yūto Sakaki


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

Yūto is one of the main protagonists in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V (manga). Along with Yūya whom he shares one body with, he is a mysterious Duelist known as "Phantom".

Appearance
Yūto's appearance mirrors that of his anime counterpart, however instead of a black coat, he wears Yūya's school uniform jacket.

Chapter 1
Yūto, along with Yūya, were chased by the Leo Corporation after Yūya apparently hacked into LC's Solid Vision system. While on the run, they bumped into a crying boy near the harbour. Yūto asked him why he was crying, to which the boy answered that he was late to watch the LC Duel as he wished to see a dragon monster from Solid Vision System. Wanting to make the boy smile, Yūya decided to grant the boy's wish, but Yūto objected as he reminded Yūya that they were being chased. Despite his objection, Yūya still insisted and forcefully switched place with him, telling him that they will manage somehow and summoned "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon".

Just as Yūto had feared, the summoning allowed LC to determine their location, prompting him and Yūya to continue their escape while chiding Yūya for his selfish action. Once again in control, he ran over the rooftops of the city's skyscrapers until he was finally cornered by Shingo Sawatari. Not having any choice, Yūto removed his mask and revealed that he is not Yūya Sakaki, the one they were chasing, but he will become their opponent if they wish to Duel.

Yūto vs. Shingo Sawatari
Having no choice and with Shingo challenging him under Reiji's order, Yūto began his duel against Shingo. As the Duel went on, Shingo started to gain the upper hand while Yūto tried to the turn the table and escape. In the middle of the Duel, Yūya told Yūto to switch place since he felt Shingo's Duelling made him a perfect opponent for him, but Yūto told him to shut up since it was his fault they started Duelling in the first place. Unfortunately, Yūto's attempt to keep Duelling while trying to escape didn't last long and his LP reduced to 200. Yūya once again told him that Shingo's Duelling style was not compatible with his. Reluctantly, Yūto switched place with Yūya, who finally revealed himself to the LC while saying his catchphrase.
