Names are in Western order, with the surname after the given name. The name used in the English-language versions of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX follows the original Japanese name.

Unlike the English-language editions of the original manga series, the English-language Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga uses the English-language anime names employed by 4Kids Entertainment [1]. Characters exclusive to the manga, such as Mr. Ryuga, use their original names.

• Sho Marufuji (丸藤翔 Marufuji Shō) / Syrus Truesdale - Syrus Truesdale is a Slifer Red student and a friend of Jaden's. Syrus looks to Jaden as an "older brother," and therefore calls Jaden "Bro"(Aniki in the Japanese versions). Syrus uses a roid deck
