Yusho Sakaki

Yusho Sakaki's History

In their youth, around his mid-20s, Yusho rescued Yoko Sakaki and one of her gang members from a rival gang. He played "Smile World" to get the rival gang to back down. Yoko was grateful for what Yusho did and developed feelings for him.[9] Eventually, the two of them got married and had a son, Yuya Sakaki.

One day, Yusho met Leo Akaba and saw the Solid Vision give "Thunder Kid" mass. He was impressed by it and the two joined forces and developed the ARC System.[10] At some point, Yusho received "Restraining Sword of Impact" from Leo, but couldn't use it in Duels due to a bug where it doesn't disappear when the ARC System goes offline.[11]

Yusho became famous as the first Dueltainer. He collaborated with Leo to bring a new level of excitement to duels with the creation of Action Duela.

At some point, he asked Skip when did he start taking of a baby by himself and where was his wife. When Skip told him does he have to try to remember, Yusho tried to tell him something but said sorry. He learned from Skip that Zuzu didn't have a mother but was a gift from god.[12]

Along with his Pro duelist occupation, Yusho founded the You Show Duel School with Skip to help teach children to use humor and tricks to entertain others. Though they were not as popular as other duel schools.

When a young Yuya was upset, Yusho approached him and gave him advice about laughing whenever he felt down. He used Yuya's pendant to further explain this point by saying that when Yuya made other people happy, the happiness would swing back towards him, like a pendulum.[4]

Yusho's "Performapal Sky Magician".

One night, Yusho was at Leo Corporation with Declan who asked Yusho to lead the Lancers and help stop Leo Akaba's ambition after investigating the research his father left behind. Since he and Leo developed the ARC System and Action Duels together, Yusho thought they could talk on equal grounds.[13] He went to use the Interdimensional Travel Device that Declan's research team developed to get to Duel Academy.[13] Yusho left the day of his Duel against The Sledgehammer in the finals of an Action Duel tournament, so he failed to show up. The Sledgehammer accused Yusho of running away, and Yusho was labeled as a coward by the majority of Paradise City.[4]

Yusho in the Xyz Dimension after being attacked by Aster's "Destiny HERO - Dystopia".

However the device ended up sending him to the Xyz Dimension instead, where he taught many people how to Duel, including Allen Kozuki, Saya Sasayama, and Dennis McField. When Duel Academy started the invasion he Dueled Aster Phoenix and defeated him and caused Aster to smile, but his leg was injured during the duel. He offered Aster a "Smile World" card, and he told him to tell the Professor that using Dueling to hurt people was wrong. However Aster was torn by his belief in the Professor's teachings and tore the card in two. When Yusho went pick up half of the card he disappeared, an event that he believed Aster to be responsible for.[3][5][14] When Yusho arrived in the Fusion Dimension, he saved Alexis from the Juvenile Officers but collapsed afterwards. Together they opened a You Show Duel School branch for Duelists who ran away from Duel Academy after invading Heartland.[3][13]
