Shinji Weber

Shinji Weber (シンジ・ウェーバー Shinji Wēbā) is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. He is a friend of Crow Hogan.

Synchro Dimension Arc
When Security cornered the Lancers Yūya Sakaki, Serena, Reira, and Shingo by gathering more units, Shinji helped Crow rescue them and dropped them off at his hideout. Later, Shinji visited the hideout to bring in the supplies Crow requested. He didn't like that fact that the Lancers were still in the hideout since they were wanted now, and could bring trouble to the kids and Crow. Before Shinji left, he warned Crow that the Security were searching high and low for the Lancers. When he found out that the Security had cornered the Lancers, he went to warn Crow, who was Dueling Yūya at that moment, but was too late and the Security had them all arrested. He tried to escape on his D-Wheel, but he was blocked and got caught as well.

He was then brought to the Facility along with the group of Lancers and Crow. He and Crow explained how most of the inmates were there on false charges and was there when Yūya's group reunited with Gongenzaka and Dennis and heard about Shun's solitary confinement. He then watched as Chojiro Tokumatsu dueled Yūya and he and Crow were reminded of how Chojiro used to be an idol for many Commons in the past.

While Chojiro, Yūya and Shingo held an Action Duel Show for the inmates, Shinji planned a prison break with Crow and their friend Damon, who was also imprisoned there. The three Commons escaped ahead of the imprisoned Lancers, who were running from a special pursuit squad from Security.

When the prison breakers reunited, they went through the water to the other side of a river, where Tony was waiting for them. Unbeknownst to them, Tony was already caught by Security and the entire group was arrested again. The entire group was then salvaged from the Security vehicles by order of the Executive Council.

Shinji was present at the Lancers' ordeal by the Council and was, along with the Lancers and his friends, forced to participate in the Friendship Cup. He was then locked in a luxurious room in the tower, where he would await his turn to duel.

After Crow and Gongenzaka's duel, he was scheduled to duel Reira Akaba. Reira, however, was unwilling to duel him because Shinji gave him candy before and Tsukikage appeared to duel him instead, causing confusion to the audience and Melissa Claire. Before the Duel, Shinji rallied the Commons about standing up and fighting the injustice done to them by the Tops.

Tsukikage dealt heavy damage right away by making use of the Action Cards in Cross Over Accel, but Shinji stopped Tsukikage from continuing this by pulling an Action Card away from him. He then summoned his "Bee Force" monsters and explained their similarity to the Commons. During the Duel, he hurt Tsukikage's pride as a ninja. He then used his swarm of "Bee Force" monsters to get through Tsukikage's wall of "Ninja" monsters, fortified by "Twilight Ninja Shogun - Getsuga" and used "Urgent Tuning" to summon his Level 12 Synchro Monster "Bee Force - Big Ballista the Final Battle" during the Battle Phase, attacking Tsukikage and blowing up the D-Wheel he was on. While doing so, he rallied to Commons again and explained how it was 'their' turn and not just his. Tsukikage, for some reason, did not activate an Action Card that could have saved him and was defeated by "Big Ballista"'s attack.

Bee Force
Shinji runs a "Bee Force" Deck. He compares his monsters to the Commons of the City and sees them as an example of what the Commons can do if they would work up together, like bees.
