Leo Akaba, also known as The Professor, is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Yuri) in the anime series Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V. He is the husband of Henrietta Akaba, the father of Ray and Declan and the adopted father of Riley. He was a member of the Original Dimension, masterminding of the Duel Academy attacks by the Xyz Dimension who initiative devised in the Arc Project and Revival Zero had designed to returns home and to see his daughter, Ray.

He was voiced by Daisuke Namikawa in Japanese and Billy Bob Thompson in English.

Appearance[]

Leo is the tall man has a brown skin middle-head bald and blue eyes. He has a purple militaristic outfit on his black buttons with the outfit of Vellian Crowler, the purple cape has the black ending and gray boots. He wears a black belt has the red line who has cover by the end on his front, which has appears on his left red circular strings on the chest, he also wears a black gloves. Leo was noticeable are traits who had armored plate by his side on the head that will be circular lens to proved on his blood vessels at the head.

As a young, he has the full head with gray hair, he wears a blue shirt and dark gray pants. On the Duel Monsters experiments, he wears a lab coats. Even the members of the Akaba family, he was the spade, although from his spade-shaped collar coat, the plate on his head, and his Spirit Deck.

Personality[]

Leo was originally a benevolent and inventive scientist, hoping to improve Dueling by using the ARC System to create monsters' people could actually touch, and considered Yusho to be his friend. However, after he regained his memories of the original dimension, he became heartless to abandon at his family and home, as he sent his son Declan back to Paradise City and lacking any empathy from the people who were sealed into cards. He was also pragmatic; he doesn't punish his soldiers when they fail at contest to former his subordinate Jean-Michel Roger. Unlike his subordinates at Duel Academy, Leo took no pleasure or joy in the suffering they caused, as he was genuinely horrified when Yuri ruthlessly sealed Alexis in a card, and how The Doktor brainwashed Zuzu and her counterparts with his parasites.

Leo has a strong hatred for Z-ARC, who abused his hologram technology and became a monster that nearly destroyed the world; forcing him to create the Natural Energy cards that broke the dimensions (and unintentionally both Z-ARC and Ray) apart and felt genuine remorse for indirectly allowing him to cause so much destruction. Despite this, Leo wasn't pragmatic enough about dealing with Yuri, Z-ARC's Fusion Dimension fragment; he could have killed him, forever ensuring that Z-ARC couldn't fully revive, but instead chose to make Yuri his enforcer. Instead, Leo channeled his hatred towards Yuya, who had absorbed Yuto by accident. When Z-ARC was revived, Leo decided to use the same cards Ray used to originally defeat him, hoping to stop him. However, Z-ARC saw this coming as used a trap card to stop him before he could even use them.

Leo loved his daughter very much but was ignorant of her will. When she sacrificed herself to stop Z-ARC, Leo was unable to move on without her. He hoped to revive her by effectively killing her fragments and forcibly merging them back into Ray; completely uncaring that they had their own lives and loved ones. After his failure to revive her and indirectly causing Z-ARC's return, Leo fell into a depression; ultimately realizing he had wasted years of his life trying to bring back someone who didn't wish to be revived, inadvertently caused Z-ARC to be resurrected (subsequently costing six other lives in the process as Yuya and Zuzu had absorbed their fragments to become whole again,) and nearly ruined the lives of everyone her fragments ever cared about.

Trivia[]

  • While he is seen as the main antagonist throughout the series (with the revelation about Z-ARC making him pale in comparison), Leo ultimately is more a misguided altruist.
  • In his second goal to prevent Z-ARC from reviving, his actions ironically triggered a chain of events that caused this to happen anyway. If he had left the four dimensions alone, Z-ARC's fragments would never interact with each other.
    • Increasing the irony is that Leo outright states he wanted to destroy Yuya to keep Z-ARC from reviving; sometimes he could and should have done to Yuri, whom was obviously malicious as Z-ARC. Instead he made the risky move of keeping Yuri around as his protégé.
