D-Pad

The D-Pad (パッド Dī Paddo) or Duel Pad is a piece of Dueling equipment in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. It combines the functionality of a Duel Disk and a tablet computer. The term "D-Pad" is used in the manga, while the anime simply refers to them as "Duel Disks".

Like its predecessors, it is worn on the wrist, but is more box-like and possesses more high-tech features. The Deck Zone is placed in the side of the wrist while the Graveyard Zone is placed on top. When activated, the Card Zones seem to quickly fold up. It also seems that Spell and Trap Cards are placed in a single slot near the Graveyard Zone, as opposed to 6 with the earlier models (5 normal Spell/Traps and 1 Field Spell. Its touch screen allows the Duelist to activate card effects and check cards on the field, but can also be removed and used for other purposes.

Unlike the Duel Disk, it lacks Solid Vision projectors, and is instead used in conjunction with the Duel Gazer for more involving effects. The Extra Deck Zone is stored separately from the D-Pad.

When not in Duel mode, the Deck and Graveyard holders are placed on a belt behind the Duelist's waist.

The touch screen can stream videos and television stations, connect to the internet. and be used as a notebook for schoolwork.

The D-Pad can be customized with an assortment of colors and models. This includes the standard silver color model that has red (Yuma Tsukumo) and blue (Reginald Kastle) versions, a pink D-Pad that is built into Lilly's arm, and a blue D-Pad that is summoned and used by Astral. D-Pads can be customized by their owner, as shown with the photographer Cameron Clix, who has a camera attached to it.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL, the D-Pad also receives notifications of Duels from the D-Network.
