Damon Lopez

Damon' (デイモン・ロペス Deimon Ropesu) is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V'' anime. He is a friend of Crow Hogan, Shinji Weber and Tony Simmons.'''

History
Damon witnessed Yūgo and Yuzu Hīragi attempting to convince people of the dangers from the Different Dimensions that could be coming to his world.

Facility
Damon was captured by Security and thrown into the Facility. There, he reunited with Crow and Shinji, who had recently been sent there as well. Upon meeting Yūya Sakaki, he mistook him for Yūgo and questioned when he had been arrested and why and where Yuzu had ended up. Damon conspired with Crow and Shinji to escape from the Facility. They had Chojiro Tokumatsu set up a tournament, with the opening match being between Yūya, Shingo and Tokamatsu himself. Knowing this would provide a distraction, they made their move during the tournament. Damon removed a ceiling vent and the ventilation fan within it. When a guard came by and questioned what they were doing, they claimed they were fixing the fan and that Damon was an expert in such things. The guard believed them and suggested they hurry so as not to miss the Duel, though. The distraction was successful and the three managed to escape.

After their successful jailbreak, they met up with Yūya, Chojiro and the rest of the captured Lancers, who had managed to escape themsleves after them when Chojiro's henchman kept the remaining prisoners and guards busy with Chojiro's stash of rare cards. They attempted to swim across the bay, having been signaled that it was safe. However, their friend, Tony Simmons, who was to signal them, had been captured by Jean-Michel Roger and Security, who arrested them again. The Executive Council intervened and entered the entire group in the Friendship Cup.

Friendship Cup
Damon's first round match was against Sergey Volkov, an infamous criminal known as the "Duelist Crusher". His opponent played defensively at first, with Damon destroying his monsters with "Alien Soldier". As a result Damon taunted him, quipping that Sergey's fangs had been clipped after being captured by Security in the end, Sergey counterattacked and brutally defeated Damon, sending him flying from his bike and resulting in him being carried away on a stretcher.
