Names

I want to state right here that I love Japanese and can read/speak it more or less (I can't write it, because my handwriting is ugly and I lack practice), but ever since I came back with Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V and I fell in love again of the characters and Connectshipping I realized that except for Yūya, Yuzu, Ruri and Ray who have a family, the rest of the dimensional counterparts do not have a last name. While in the Arc-V manga the Yu-boys share the last name Sakaki, in the anime they don't, so I took the liberty of giving them all last names. These last names were chosen because they were somehow related to them.

I'll do the Yu-boys part first, putting the only boy who has a last name in the anime canon:

Yūya Sakaki [榊遊矢]

Yūya, being the protagonist, his name begins with the usual Yū (遊) that he shares with all his predecessors and successors, which means Play. The Ya (矢) that ends up composing his name means Arrow.

The surname Sakaki (榊) refers to the Cleyera japonica, an evergreen tree that is relevant in Shinto ceremonies, where it acts as a conduit for the kami (gods).

Now let's move on to the guys who don't have a last name in the anime canon:

Yūto [ユート]

I gave my beloved Yūto, my favorite and a dark boy with a taste for ghost knights, the last name Yatōgami (夜刀神) which is composed of Night (夜, Ya), Sword/Katana (刀, Tō) and God (神, Kami/Gami).

His name in the anime is written in katakana and therefore has no meaning, so I took the one from the manga that is in kanji. Yūto is composed with the Yū of Play (遊) and the To refers to the constellation Ursa Major (斗).

— Yūto Yatōgami (夜刀神遊斗, Yatōgami Yūto).

Yūgo [ユーゴ]

Yūgo, precious child of sun and sky, also his name in the anime is written in katakana and without meaning, but taking the manga it is written with the Yū of Play (遊) and the Go of "Myself" (吾).

His last name, Hayashi, is written with Fast (速, Haya) and Ruler (司, Shi). Fits my boy with bike well.

— Yūgo Hayashi (速司遊吾, Hayashi Yūgo).

Yūri [ユーリ]

Ah, Yūri, precious sadist of my soul, this baby, just like his counterparts, his name is written in katakana and has no meaning, so I once again took the name from the manga and gave it to this tradition-following beauty and begins with Yū of Play (遊) and ends with Ri of Town/Village (里).

The surname, Niwa, is a homophone that in Japanese means Garden, but is written with the kanji for Vermilion (丹, Ni) and Ring/Circle (輪, Wa).

— Yuri Niwa (丹輪遊里, Niwa Yuri).

Zarc [ズァーク]

I personally like to take the name Zarc as a nickname or alias that this guy created for himself or was given to him by others when he got into dueling, and to my liking, I gave this guy a Japanese name.

Yūhaku is made up of Play (遊, Yū) and a kanji spelling Koma-Inu, the lion-dogs that guard Shinto shrines (狛, Haku). This name came up while I was looking for words that sounded similar to the Japanese pronunciation of Zarc "Zāku", and I really liked Haku, so I added the characteristic Yū and that's how my headcanon of what is the Supreme Dragon King's real name came up.

Speaking of dragon kings, the last name I came up with for Zarc was Kōryū, which is spelled with Emperor (皇, Kō) and Dragon (竜, Ryū). This one came up while he was looking for words to replace the long (and chūnibyō) Haōryū and since I didn't want Ōryū because it was redundant, I started looking at words related to ruling. Originally the name was written with the kanji for Five in front, but it got long and ugly, so I removed it and I loved how it turned out.

Also, in case I needed his name to be non-Japanese, I ended up using someone else's headcanon and stuck with "Zachary Archer", which can be made into "Z-Arc".

— Yūhaku Kōryū (皇竜遊狛, Kōryū Yūhaku).

— Zachary Archer.

If I do a fanfic, it's 90% likely that I'll use these names, because I'm picky and I don't like that they don't have last names. I'll do the girls' one another time, since I really liked the last name I gave Rin, so I want to show it off. Anyway, I already did the long part, so I end here.

So, let’s talk about Yuya’s name, since apparently there is some interesting stuff going on here.

The Kanji for 榊, sakaki, refers to the sakaki plant, a Japanese plant that is believed to be the tree where Yata no Kagami (Mirror of Yata) was placed on.

The Kanji for 遊, yu, is the standard Kanji for Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonists, and it means to play.

The Kanji for 矢, ya, means arrow, likely alluding to arrow-shaped scales of a Pendulum Card/Zone. BUT.

Ya here likely refers to hamaya, which is the name of the arrow used by Minamoto no Yorimasa to vanquish a demon that infested royal palace, and made the Emperor ill. The bow is called hama yumi.

But, but. ARC-V generally uses more specifically Buddhist inspirations. Let’s dig a bit deeper.

In Buddhism, there is a tradition that the golden bow and arrow held by Umarekkya, one of the Four Nightfellows who follow the Blue-Faced Vajra, is the origin of the demon arrow, and the Dragon God Demon Arrow is sold at Rinnō-ji in Nikko, where the Four Nightfellows are enshrined.[1]。

The “Nightfellows” here refer to Yasha, the Japanese spelling of Yaksha. Vajra here refers to Vaiśravaṇa, who is known in Japan as Bishamonten.

https://www.nikkostation.com/taiyuin-temple/

Umarokya’s statue can be seen here. His name is written as 烏摩勒伽 in Kanji, and うまろきゃ in Hiragana.

Information about this guy is very scant.

(Of course, there is also the arrow from Jojo, Yuya’s VA is Giorno after all.)

Anyway, the likely meaning for both is likely this:

Since then, hama yumi have been used in Buddhist and Shinto rituals of purification (i.e., Shihobarai, the Purification of the Four Directions). In Japan, it is believed that merely the twanging of its bowstring will frighten away ghosts, evil spirits and negative influences from the house. A miko will carry a hama yumi and a set of hama ya as part of their religious regalia, while back in Feudal Japan, they were used quite literally in defence of the shrine or temple.

As a result, hama ya (破魔矢, lit. 'evil-banishing arrows'), decorative arrows, are sold even today at shrines as Engimono (good-luck charms); smaller replicas have been placed in shrines and people's homes. It is believed that even just one Hama-Ya which has been blessed by a Shinto Priest carries great spiritual power, will bring protection against the forces of evil, and for purification, and they are also believed to have the ability to attract vast good fortune. Hama ya and hama yumi are often given as gifts to celebrate the first New Year of a male baby's life.

https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%A0%B4%E9%AD%94%E7%9F%A2

Chinese wiki page goes into more detail about various practices involving this.

Kanji for the Dragon King Hamaya is 龍神破魔矢.

Addendums:

**Other meanings of Yuya can be found here.

**Arrow here is also a pun, arrows fly in an incline, or an arc, so this fits with the arc theming going in ARC-V.

**Arrow pun is the likely inspiration of Shingo’s initial Dart Deck, but also Shinji’s Battlewasps.

**The Kanji ya can also mean night (etymologically it seems to be same root as Yami/Yomi), which is likely an allusion to Z-ARC’s weird Samael connection, though it might be referencing to specific Yaksha here.

***Tomatos, and eggplants are nightshades, but the Japanese name of the family has no reference to “ya” (it is called ナス, nasu, which means eggplant).

**Sakaki is a decently common surname, it seems, though it is more frequently used in animé than anything. Weird to have Shinto symbolism in a heavily Buddhist inspired show, but I guess the flower theming here is because of En Flowers, since Yuya is technically a manifestation of En Flowers interacting with Odd-Eyes.

***Sakaki name also seems to have a common earthy theme, because it can be read as slope tree. Giovanni from Pokémon’s Japanese name is Sakaki, for example. This might be further evidence towards my personal conspiracy theory of Odd-Eyes originally being intended to be EARTH attribute.

**Yuya in Gongenzaka’s Deck is symbolized by Wakaushi, who is supposed to be Yoshitsune, and Reiji’s Deck’s Pendragon seems to be his symbolization of Yuya (joke is Pendulum Dragon->Pendragon, and its Japanese title is Supreme Dragon King), who is supposed to be King Arthur of course. Neither of them have allusions to Yorimasa, which suggests the ya Kanji here is more because of the practices involving hamaya, not its origin.

**Apparently:

Hama-yumi replicas are scale versions of the sacred Japanese bow, coated with urushi, wrapped in fine rattan and accented in gold leaf. They are displayed in a stand, along with two arrows tipped with yanone (traditional warrior tips); one representing male and the other female, yin and yang (vermilion signifying male energy (yang), and black representing female energy (yin)).

This might be where ARC-V producers got the idea of symbolically associating the Pendulum Arrows with Zarc/Ray, and their respective counterparts (but this theming seems to go with other heterosexual couples of ARC-V, see Leo/Himika, Masumi/Hakuto etc.)

***Red-Blue theming going with the het couples is probably a reference to Urashima Taro, though the same theming also occurs with Reira/Ayu, and of course Ayu’s literally references the story. Though I guess their case still works, since Ayu’s Deck includes Aquaactress Tetra, who is a female fish playing the role of a male.

**Hamaya is the inspiration of two DM-era cards as well, Anti-Magic Arrows, and Spell Shattering Arrow.
