Yūya Sakaki (manga)


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

Yūya Sakaki is the main character of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V manga. He is a mysterious Entertainment Duelist known as "Phantom" who the Leo Corporation is after. Reiji referred to him as "Factor of Fate" that holds their future.

Appearance
Like the original, Yūya's outfit consists of his trademark goggle, black choker around his neck, and his pendulum pendant while wearing white Maiami middle-school uniform with addition of hoodie with red shirt underneath, brown belt around his waist, and trousers.

History
Yūya, along with Yūto were chased by LDS after he hacked into LDS' Solid Vision system. While on the run, they bumped into a boy near the harbour. Wanting to make the boy smile, Yūya decided to show him his Entertainment Duel, much to Yūto's objection who reminded him that they were being chased. Yūya still did it anyway, telling Yūto that it will work out somehow and he then summoned "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon".

Non-canon
Yūya is shown facing Reiji Akaba in an Action Duel in the special manga chapter. He is 14 years old and aims to be a Pro Duelist. Yūya uses the same strategies as his anime counterpart, using his "Entermate" monsters to explore the field, like riding on "Entermate Silver Claw", for example. He is also able to perform Pendulum Summons in the manga, although how he got his Pendulum Monsters is not explained. Yūya keeps his anime counterpart's opinion regarding Action Duels: he believes that Duels are entertainment, and should be "happy, fun and silly".

Manga Deck
The Deck Yūya uses in the manga is currently unknown, only that it is capable of utilizing Pendulum Summoning.

In the special manga chapter, Yūya runs an "Entermate" Deck, like in the anime.
