'''Jaden Yuki''', known as {{nihongo|'''Jūdai Yūki'''|遊城十代|''Yūki Jūdai''}} in the original [[Japanese language|Japanese]] version, is a [[fictional character]] and the main protagonist of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|anime]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|manga]] series. His name is meant to be a pun in Japanese, as "''jūdai''" is the word for "teenager". In the English version, Jaden is voiced by Matthew Charles, while [[Kenn (Japanese actor)|KENN]] (older) and Mariko Nagahama (younger) take the role in the Japanese version. |
|||
==Synopsis== |
|||
The ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime began with Jaden, intending to attend Duel Academy, bumping into the protagonist of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (2000 TV series)|original ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' series]], an [[Unseen character|obscure]] [[Yugi Mutou]], on his way to the school's entrance examinations, being late and rushing. Yugi gave him a ''[[Kuriboh|Winged Kuriboh]]'' card. Jaden receives a low score on the exam's written component, and was therefore placed in Slifer Red, the lowest-ranked dormitory, alongside characters [[Syrus Truesdale]] and [[Chumley Huffington]], who become his new friends. Jaden made several enemies at the Academy, including [[Vellian Crowler]], whom Jaden defeated in his examination duel. Out of spite, Crowler tried to kick Jaden out of school on many different occasions before finally beginning to respect him. Jaden was shown to be an accomplished duelist, defeating the before-mentioned Crowler during his examination duel, [[Chazz Princeton]] in a school-wide duel, and [[Bastion Misawa]] for the representative position in an inter-school duel, both of whom received higher grades than he did and represented the higher-ranked dormitories. He also defeated most of the [[Shadow Riders]]. |
|||
In the first season, his first major school sanctioned duel with Chazz awarded him a promotion to Ra Yellow, which he turned down in order to stay with his friends in Slifer Red. Chazz remained a rival for Jaden during much of the first two seasons, and became a friendly rival mid-way during the events of the [[Society]] of Light story arc. |
|||
In the second season, Jaden ventured into an extraterrestrial realm known as "Neo Space" after being defeated in his first Duel with [[Aster Phoenix]] and losing the ability to see his cards. There he learned of the ongoing battle between the forces of darkness and light. With the help of the resident [[Neo-Spacians]], Jaden adopted the role of the universe's defender, wielding the "darkness of justice" against [[Sartorius (Yu-Gi-Oh! GX)|Sartorius]] and the [[Society of Light]].<ref>''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''. Episode #62. December 7, 2005.</ref> He was charged with the task of rescuing most of his converted friends from the organization's clutches. Jaden was also entrusted one of the keys to the mind control satellite of Misgarth by Sartorius' good personality, and proceeds to purge the Light of Destruction from the diviner's body. |
|||

|||
In the third season, Jaden was pursued by a deranged [[Yubel]] whose dedication to her mission had long since warped into a sick obsession with Jaden, where on many occasions she announced that she loved Jaden. After one of his friends, [[Jesse Andersen]], sacrificed himself in order to defeat the deranged spirit, Jaden went on a rescue mission which forced him to confront his own feelings of inferiority and doubt. He succumbed to them, temporarily straying off the path of a hero by becoming the ruthless ruler of the third alternate dimension, the Supreme King. As Supreme King, Jaden dueled and collected the souls of numerous innocents to complete the ''Super Polymerization'' card, but was rescued by [[Axel Brodie]]. |
|||
Restored to his former self, Jaden confronts Yubel and taps into the power of Supreme King inside him to duel. Yubel then reveals that in a different dimension she was once a human who volunteered to become a monster to protect Jaden's past incarnation as a king until he became an adult, whose alter-ego Supreme King was destined to wield the power of darkness to keep balance with the '''Light of Destruction'''. Jaden, forgiving Yubel, fuses her soul with his soul with Super Polymerization, absorbing her powers and vanishing as the different dimension closes. Jaden returns to the original world after a wish on a falling star by Syrus results in Jaden crashing back to Duel Academy inside a meteor.<ref>''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''. Episode #131. April 11, 2007.</ref> |
|||
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Bichromatic Eyes Judai.jpg|thumbnail|200px|right|Jaden manifesting Yubel's power, represented by Yubel's bichromatic eyes.]] --> |
|||
In the fourth season, Jaden has been fused with Yubel's soul, and its power occasionally manifests in the form of bichromatic eyes. He is also more serious and brooding, much to the confusion of the other members of the main cast. He is the only duel academy student still enrolled in Slifer Red. Jaden decides to leave Duel Academy, not wishing to put his friends in danger of a threat he feels gaining in strength. However, both Sartorius and [[Shadow Riders#Kagemaru|Kagemaru]] attempt to convince him otherwise, believing that he is needed on the island to prevent a growing danger in the near future. |
|||
This seems to be well-advised, as before their meeting, Jaden already confronts a mysterious Obelisk Blue student by name of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX minor characters#Yusuke Fujiwara|Yusuke Fujiwara]], who can hypnotize people and set fires with his eyes, as well as a new darkness-controlling antagonist (or set of antagonists, as multiple copies of him are shown in the end of episode 158), Trueman, who seems to want both Jaden and Fujiwara dead. He also has to deal with the reemergence of [[Darkness (Yu-Gi-Oh! GX)|Nightshroud]], whose past may also tie into the mysteries behind Fujiwara and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX minor characters#Trueman|Trueman]]. |
|||
Later on the season, Jaden goes in a hurry to Domino City because Axel Brodie told him that it was empty, and that it might be a Trueman action. Jaden, however, gets there too late, and has to face Trueman, who had taken control of Axel. After Jaden is cornered by Trueman, Sartorius saved him and had a duel with him. Jaden later dueled Jesse, but due to the "Arcana Force 0: The Fool" card Sartorius had placed in Jaden's deck tainting his Polymerization card, Jaden believed he was facing Trueman. He eventually faces the real Nightshroud in a duel, and with the aid of Neos, the Neo-Spacians, and Yubel, manages to win. Now, on his Graduation Day, Jaden is challenged by the present-day Yugi, who indirectly takes him to the past for a true Graduation Duel against a younger Yugi. |
|||
Jaden duels against Yugi until the Pharaoh Atem takes over Yugi's body and summons [[Egyptian God cards#Slifer the Sky Dragon|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]. Jaden in return sends Neos into battle with the God Card. During his duel with Yugi and Atem, Jaden remembers the fun in dueling. It then pans to the desert. Jaden thanks Yugi for reminding him that dueling is fun. In the end, he is shown in a desert where he ends up traveling with Professor Banner's ghost and his cat, Pharaoh, towards the upcoming adventures. Although the episode did not explicitly state the victor of the duel, it is implied that Jaden had lost the battle, having said in the post-duel that he still had a long way to go. |
|||
In addition, in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Movie: Super Fusion! Bonds that Transcend Time]]'' he will work with Yugi and Yusei in the new movie by meeting with them through the powers of Yubel & The Supreme King. Jaden appears after Paradox steals Cyber End Dragon from Syrus & Rainbow Dragon from Jesse and begins to attack Venice. Though Jaden is able to defend himself with Elemental Hero Neos, Paradox soon attack Jaden & Neos with Stardust Dragon, a monster from the future, and overpowers Jaden. Before the final attack can connect, though, the Crimson Dragon appears and blocks the attack before disappearing and reveals that Yusei Fudo has followed the Crimson Dragon back in time to Jaden's time. Paradox soon takes his leave as Jaden explains to Yusei what Paradox's true intentions are: He plans to kill Pegasus around the time he was creating Duel Monsters, thus preventing the events of all 3 series from ever occurring & causing a time paradox. Using Crimson Dragon's powers, the 2 travel farther back in time to Yugi's time-era, only to be too late as Paradox has already come and gone, presumably killing Pegasus & Solomon Mutou, Yugi's grandpa, as well as stealing one of Kaiba's Blue Eyes White Dragon and Joey's Red Eyes Black Dragon. Yusei and Jaden manage to convince a grieving [[Yugi Mutou]] to help them stop Paradox and travel back to 30 minutes before Paradox's attack on Yugi's time. They manage to intercept Paradox and plea for him to stop, but to no avail. A 3-on-1 duel then begins, with Yugi, Jaden and Yusei sharing 4000 life points. |
|||
Though only having 1 turn in the duel, Jaden shows his mastery of fusion as he summons a new fusion monster, ''Elemental Hero Neos Knight'', by fusing his Neos with Yusei's ''Junk Gardna'' and destroying Paradox's ''Sin Cyber End Dragon'' & ''Sin Rainbow Dragon''. He & Yami Yugi also manage to convince Yusei, who loses faith in their victory after the summoning of ''Sin Truth Dragon'', prepares to forfeit, instead to continue on and fight. He and Yami Yugi are able to give Stardust Dragon the power to defeat Sin Truth Dragon and defeat Paradox. Following their victory, all the damage Paradox caused to the timeline is repaired and our heroes return to their respective timelines with Yusei promising to protect the future & meet him and Yugi again. |
|||
==Deck== |
|||
During the first year, Jaden plays an '''[[Elemental Heroes|Elemental HERO]]''' deck composed of the eponymous series of monsters, Spell and Trap Cards and that support them, as well as his "partner" ''Winged Kuriboh'' which he received from Yugi. The design of cards in the Elemental Hero series is of [[American comic book]] origin, while the design of cards in the Neo-Spacian series is of [[Japan]]ese origin. |
|||
Jaden's strategy was based on the various Fusions that were created through combination of the Elemental Hero cards. As the series progresses, it was revealed that every Elemental Hero had a Fusion of some sort with another, giving the card ''Polymerization'' premier importance in Jaden's deck (Bastian once sealing it in order to exploit the flaw in Jaden's deck, his reliance on stronger fusion monsters). He also has several other fusion based cards such as the Field Spell ''Fusion Gate'' and the Spell ''Miracle Fusion'' just in case ''Polymerization'' isn't available to him. The majority of his other cards supplement his Elemental Hero monsters, such as the Field Spell, ''Skyscraper'', and these cards had allowed Jaden to emerge victorious even in dire situations. |
|||
After his second duel with [[Aster Phoenix|Aster]], Jaden's entire deck was left blank to his eyes due to [[Sartorius (Yu-Gi-Oh! GX)|Sartorius's]] powers. With the inability to use his old HERO deck, Jaden received a new one that included some cards he created as a child for a [[List of Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and manga characters#Kaiba Corporation|KaibaCorp]] contest. Once his ability to see his older cards returned, he combined elements from both decks into a single deck, his '''Neos''' deck. While this deck still contains many of the cards from his original deck, it also consists of '''[[Neo-Spacians]]''' and cards that exploit their ability to "Contact Fuse" with ''Elemental HERO Neos'' in [[Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor|Guyver]]-inspired fashion thus giving him another alternate way to fuse as it does not require ''Polymerization'' or another fusion based Spell Card. |
|||
One of the cards in this variation of his deck, ''Rallis the Star Bird'', was based on an illustration by {{nihongo|Kaori Kimura|木村香央里|Kimura Kaori}} submitted for a card illustration contest held earlier during the series. |
|||
As the Supreme King, Jaden plays '''Evil HERO''' cards, vile incarnations of his regular Elemental Heroes. As opposed to the combo-oriented style of his normal Elemental Heroes, Jaden's Evil Heroes rely on straightforward tactics such as monster destruction and overwhelming opponents with powerful Fusion monsters. |
|||
After returning to normal, Jaden regained his Neos deck and after fusing his soul with Yubel's, its card was added to it. Yubel can be fused with Neos to create Jaden's most powerful Duel Monster, Neos Wiseman. His last new fusion monster shown is Divine Neos, a combination of all the Neo-Spacians and Neos himself. He used this powerful Fusion Monster in his duel against Nightshroud (Darkness). |
|||
In the manga, Jaden played a deck similar to that of his anime counterpart as a child. While in the hospital for breaking one of his bones playing [[baseball]], fellow patient [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX minor characters#Koyo and Midori Hibiki|Koyo Hibiki]] gave the boy his own [[nature]]-themed Elemental Hero deck (including ''Winged Kuriboh''), and as a result of the meeting with Koyo and his sister, [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX minor characters#Koyo and Midori Hibiki|Midori]], Jaden was inspired to become a duelist. From the outset of the manga storyline, he was already a student of Duel Academy, with Koyo's heroes standing by his side, which are more natural elements. His key card in the manga was ''Elemental Hero Terra Firma'' (known as ''Elemental Hero The Earth'' in the Japanese version), which was also one of a kind Planet series. He also had a lot of Alternative Fusion cards for situations where he can't normally use Polymerization. |
|||
In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time]]'', Jaden introduces a new fusion monster, ''Elemental HERO Neos Knight'', which gains attack points equal to half the attack points of the warrior-type that fuses with Elemental Hero Neos.<ref>http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Yu-Gi-OhGX</ref> |
