Duel Master is a title given to those who have conquered and mastered the game of the same name, a Duel Master is outrageously and terrifyingly strong, much more so than any other Duelist. The very first Duel Master was Yaesar, who, just before his death, used his power to divide the Duel Master's Proof into seven fragments and scattered them the world over, leaving them in the hands of children. Duel Masters are able to resonate their talents with one another. A Duel Master is able to tell when another Duel Master is nearby.
During the Fighting Edge (FE) manga, Toy, Horus, and Esmeralda were taken captive by the Fua Duelists. All of the Duel Masters gathered during the World Tournament held in Japan.

Toy

Because she usually wears glasses and a hat she is seen as unattractive, but beneath it all lies a truly beautiful person. Despite not conveying her feelings, she loves Shobu.
