Edo Phoenix

Edo Phoenix (エド・フェニックス Edo Fenikkusu) or also known as Ed Phoenix is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. He is the alternate universe version of the Edo Phoenix that appeared in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX ''anime.

Appearance
Edo has a gray-colored hair, dark blue eyes and wears a gray suit with black shoes. Being a commander of Academia forces, Edo wears a collared blue-green regal cloak, with yellow shoulder pads. The cloak's chest area is colored white, and has small yellow buttons. During his initial encounter with Yūya, Edo wears a large gray hooded cloak that completely obscures him and his clothes.

Etymology
His name is meant to be a pun in Japanese, as phoenixes were commonly depicted in art during the Edo period of Japan. Edo is also the original name for Tokyo.

Past
Like most Duelists of the City of Fusion Dimension, Edo was sent to Academia to be trained as Duel Soldier. He eventually grew strong enough to be appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Academia. At one point, he Dueled Yūya Sakaki's father, Yūshō Sakaki, and for the first time he witnessed Entertainment Duel, which is a complete opposite of Academia's Duel. The Duel resulted with Edo to bear strong animosity towards Yūshō. As a reminder of his vendetta against Yūshō, he keeps a scrap of Yūshō's "Smile World" and since then continues to search for him for a rematch and prove that Academia's teaching is correct.

Duel Against Yūya
Edo confronted Yūya who was searching for Yūshō at Xyz Dimension, and the former immediately demanded him to tell his father's name. When Yūya did, Edo immediately challenged him to a Duel, intending to make Yūya a bait to lure out Yūshō. The Duel ended with a draw and Edo reluctantly retreat for a moment.

Destiny HERO
As his counterpart did in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'', this Aster uses a "Destiny HERO" Deck. His Deck includes the ability to perform a Fusion Summon.
