When they arrived, three of the escape pods were destroyed by falling debris. En route back to their house where the escape pods were, Yuya pushed his brothers out of the way from a falling debris, rendering him unconscious. Under their father's instruction, Yuto and his brother intended to go to his lab to meet him using the escape pods that would send them directly to the lab. This resulted with the beginning of destruction of the world, and Yuto and Yuri felt intense tremors of the earth. However, a Duel Monsters card " Genesis Omega Dragon" went on a rampage after his father's friend, Leo Akaba, materialized its power for his experiment. The brothers decide to sacrifice themselves, to let Yuya live on.Īt Yuya's birthday, Yuto argued with Yuri whose present for Yuya was better: either Yuto's lunch box or Yuri's bouquet. Yuto and Yuri maliciously smile about their gifts for Yuya. Yugo, Yuto and Yuri often played with Yuya, creating complex Duel situations and resolve them. In the past, Yuto lived with his father Yusho Sakaki and his brothers Yuya, Yugo, and Yuri. Due to the unknown connection between Yuto and Yuya, Yuto has the ability to appear and manifest as a spirit that only Yuya can see and hear. Just like Yuya, Yuto has the ability to manipulate Solid Vision technology at will, though limited than Yuya does. He himself is also a skilled hacker, able to easily unlock LC security system. For this character, his name is written in Katakana, so it has no actual meaning. The last syllable 人 (To) means person, 翔 (To) means to "Soar" or "Fly". For example: 優 (Yū) means "Gentleness" and "Superiority", 悠 (Yū) means "Distant" and "Leisurely". Yūto has many definitions depending on the kanji used. In the anime, Yūto's name in romaji is written as "Ute", which is pronounced as "Yūto" in Japanese. Yuto also dislikes his opponent saying things regarding himself questing Reiji for analyzing him and angrily reacting to Eve's words when she regards himself. Unlike the original Yuto, this Yuto refers to himself as "私" (Watashi). He is not above appreciating compliments however Yuya complimenting Yuto on wearing a suit fed his ego and pacified his worrying to a degree. He seems not to actively seek out duels, only fighting when he deems it necessary. He also has a tendency to point out the odd traits of those he and Yuya face, calling Sawatari a "weirdo", saying he doubts Shun has many friends. He is a more serious and cautious person, contrasting with Yuya, and he often argues with him for his reckless actions. Yuto' personality is much the same as his anime counterpart. When he was a child, he wore a simple white collared shirt and pants. While he and Yuzu infiltrated the LC-owned Physical Information Company, Yuto wore a suit and spectacles. Yuto wears a cloak like his anime counterpart, but it is not torn unlike in the anime. When they originally arrived in Maiami City, since Leo Corp was only after Yuya at the time, Yuto used the hood of Yuya's jacket with his googles and military mask to conceal his face. Whenever he possesses Yuya or briefly emerges from him as a spirit, Yuto is wearing Yuya's gold and red lined white school jacket. Yuto's physical appearance is similar to his anime counterpart: His face semi-identical to his counterparts save his black upward sweep hair with light purple fringes, wearing a punk-style student uniform.
