What are the common card themes used by each protagonist?

[Hope in the Interstice]

On a side note, perhaps it would've been a better idea to organise the sub threads into each spin-off and Duel Monsters while the main forum discusses the anime in general. But anyway...

So I've been thinking about the common cards between each of the five Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonists. So far, I have:

• A 2500 ATK signature monster (Dark Magician, Elemental HERO Neos, Stardust Dragon, Number 39: Utopia, and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon)
• A defensive card (Mirror Force, Hero Barrier, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow, Half Unbreak, and Miracle)
• A small support monster (Kuriboh, Winged Kuriboh, too many for Yusei, Rainbow Kuriboh, Performapal Hip Hippo and Tuning Magician)

Can you describe any others?

Everyone but YUSEI has a waifu, also a kuriboh ( junkuriboh in yuseis Case)

[Sanokal]

Balanced offensive and defensive options.

Could you expand on this a bit more?

They often have cards to deal with a wide variety of situations, even if we ignore a large amount of anime one-offs. Contrast the rivals, who all use offensive power decks.

Are you thinking of writing a fanfiction, by any chance?

No but my mind's going in sorta the same places and I wanted to figure out more what individual cards they all shared for such situations.

Effect Veiler for Yusei.

Effect Veiler for Yusei.

Doesnt have the big eyes and people even debate if its more than just a Hand trap. Not a Good waifu

[Pendulum]

Effect Veiler only appeared in four episodes, according to the Wikia. Not a good waifu, indeed.

Everyone knows Yusei is married to his duel runner.
