I draw and stuff.

Ok first thing first, I wanted to draw them in YGO aesthetics clothes, which is like, a lot of belts and leather. But then it got out of hand after I think about it more and more. But this AU is literally just them playing children card games and be fluffy and embarrassing and stuff. Also I love YGO.

YUURI KATSUKI (23)

Uses an Ice Barrier deck (the badge and his buckle are the symbol of ice barriers) basically the ice barrier archetype consists characters from variety of asian cultures (the dragon behind him is called ‘Trishula, Dragon of Ice Barrier’ which is one of the ace of this deck).

Has a Winged Kuriboh (mostly bc I am a big ass fan of GX but also for Viktor reason that will be explained at his section underneath).

Graduated from Duel Academy Central (located somewhere in Southern Japan) owned by Kaiba Corp. 

Then he went straight to the pro-league while going to university in America.

While in the USA Yuuri participated in local tournaments and went back once a year to attend the Japan Championships.

Sometimes tag teams with Phichit.

Uses the Duel Academia issued duel disk that he re-painted to skyblue

As a professional duelist, Yuuri has reigned over the Asian Region for five years.

Though has a lot of potential, he has anxiety issues and always got scared of playing a big strategy, especially at important duels.

For the past five years he has been a pro-duelist, he never had the balls to compete at the World Championship, saying that his deck is not ‘good enough yet’. (irl ice barrier decks are not competitive, bc some its ace monsters are banned, but if said monsters are not banned the deck is super broken)

Though he went last year and bombed when he went for a big strategy that involves his ace cards. (As per canon met Viktor at the after party)

VIKTOR NIKIFOROV (27)

The light of Yuuri’s life.

Uses a Blue Eyes White Dragon deck ala Seto Kaiba.

The dragon behind him is actually ‘Alternate Blue Eyes White Dragon’.

World Champion for a lot of years.

Coats are cool.

Graduated from Duel Academy North (said to be located somewhere in the Arctic) as the best student that year from all the branches.

Didn’t go to university and went straight to the pro-league.

Apparently, started his career in pro-dueling before he graduated.

The card inside his necklace is ‘Transcended Wings’, a spell card that allows Winged Kuriboh to evolve to ‘Lvl 10 Winged Kuriboh’, which is a damn swell card.
