Yuri (ユーリ Yūri), sometimes romanized as Joeri[3][4][5][6] in the Japanese version, is a character and one of the primary antagonists in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime, and is a member of Duel Academy. He is the Fusion Dimension counterpart of Yuya Sakaki (Standard Dimension), Yugo (Synchro Dimension) and Yuto (Xyz Dimension), and one of Z-ARC's reincarnations. Yuri is one of Duel Academy's ace Duelists, the most loyal to the Professor, and the person responsible for kidnapping Rin and Lulu Obsidian. Yuri is the only incarnation of Z-ARC that retains his sadistic tendencies and lust for power even when not Awakened, something that horrifies even Leo Akaba.
