Name: Marufuji Sho
Age: 16
History: From the onset of the first year, he faces Judai in preparation for a Tag Duel, but, priding himself on finding a way to outdo his roommate, overlooks the abilities of his own cards. It was for this same reason that Ryo forbade him from using the Power Bond card when they were younger, for Sho was unable to cope with its potential drawback. In the subsequent Duel with the Paradox Brothers, Sho fell for every single ploy the brothers set. Praised by Judai, he regained his wits, and brought up the courage to activate Power Bond, which allowed the two to claim victory.
During the second year, Sho is given an opportunity to advance to Ra Yellow should he be able to defeat Missy. Feeling that he should not shoulder his brother's legacy, Sho gives his Power Bond card to Manjyome Jun temporarily before the start of the Duel, and is successful in overcoming Missy. Sho would also develop a rivalry with Tyranno Kenzan over which of the two is better suited to being Judai's best friend. They constantly argue and fight, prompting their repetitive separation by Tenjoin Asuka, with their rivalry coming to a temporary halt when the two decide to duel to settle matters once and for all, though Kenzan allows himself to be defeated after seeing Sho's devotion to Judai.
As he observes his brother's actions following his "rebirth," Sho notes Ryo's newfound disrespect for his own cards and opponents. He dismisses the barbaric persona, refusing to believe that his brother has sunk so low. Determined to bring his brother back to his senses, Sho acknowledges the inevitability that the two of them will face one another. During the GX tournament, Sho and Ryo do duel, and they are hooked up to electrodes, just as Ryo and Mad Dog were in their Underground Duel. Despite his best efforts and Judai's secret move to place Power Bond back into his deck, Sho loses, but does not give up in hoping that his brother can be returned to his former self.
Shortly after the beginning of the third year at Duel Academy, Sho advances to Obelisk Blue. As a result of Survival Duels being called for by Professor Cobra, Sho becomes self-conscious of his worthiness to wear the outfit of the elites, and sets out to prove himself. In the Japanese version, he also wishes to adopt his brother's discarded title, and thus merit the name of "Kaiser Sho". Inspired by Judai's match with O'Brian, however, he decides to remain in Ra Yellow, and sets aside his goal for the future. After the Academy is transported to an alternate dimension, Sho becomes one of Martin's zombified students, though he recovers after the school is returned to its proper place. Feeling betrayed by Judai upon witnessing his selfish actions in his search for the missing Johan Anderson, Sho chooses to take the role of an observer and not take part in events directly. To this end he follows Judai and the remaining protagonists for the rest of the season, watching the final battles for the fates of the lost ones with Manjyome's spirit partner Ojama Yellow.
During the fourth season, Sho decides to stay in the Obelisk Blue along with Fubuki and Manjyome. He's seen with his blue jacket and is planning to stay there for the whole of the year, leaving Judai alone in the Slifer Red dorm with none of his friends there. Syrus later duels Makoto Izimu, a practitioner of the Psycho-Style, a dueling philosophy that rivals the Cyber-Style, during which he overcomes his feelings of inferiority to Ryo and becomes the Cyber-Style's next successor
