Rei Shingetsu is a character appearing in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. He is an exchange student to Heartland Middle School, and a huge fan of Yuma Tsukumo. Rei has his own catchphrase "think positive" (よかれと思って Yokare to Omotte). He soon becomes Yuma's new friend.

Design

Appearance

Rei has fair skin, purple eyes, and bulbous spiked, orange hair with bangs curls around his face. He has a very unique Duel Gazer, larger than a normal Duel Gazer with a large red lens and a black head gear that wraps around his head.

As a first year student, he wears the first-year male uniform of Heartland Middle School, a white shirt with red-lined sleeves and collar, a red tie, blue pants, and a pair of brown shoes.

Rei has a strong admiration, and albeit fan-boyish towards Yuma Tsukumo, since he knew that Yuma won the World Duel Carnival, and even referring to Yuma as the "crown jewel" of Heartland Middle School and Heartland City. He treats Yuma with the utmost importance and is eager to do things for Yuma that will pleases him, such getting him a Duel with pro-Duelist Daisuke Katagiri[1] or voting for Yuma as new class representative of their class. He even wishes to join the Super Secret Number Cards Investigation Club when he learns the club supports Yuma in his adventures.[2]

Underneath Rei's happy and clumsy exterior, Rei shown to be more serious and mysterious than others might think. He is seen secretly watching Yuma from afar when others are not during any Duel he has with the Barian World's brainwashed minions.[3][2] Rei is also perceptive, he was the first to sense Aika Hanazoe's malicious intentions, and this allowed him not to be affected her power when she made his friends unconscious. He appears to want to keep this side hidden from others as he pretended to be unconscious until Aika, Yuma and Rio Kastle left the room and pretended not have seen Aika and Rio's Duel.[4]

Etymology

Rei's first name means "zero", which can be related to the "Numbers". His last name's literal meaning is "true moon".

Biography

ZXx075 Rei Shingetsu

Rei's smile as he looks down at Yuma and his friends

After the Duel between Yuma Tsukumo and Fuma, Rei observes everyone celebrating from an upper window, and then smiles.[3]

While running to school, Rei accidentally crashes into Yuma on his way, and when he realized it Yuma, Rei was excited to met the champion of the WDC. When Yuma remarks about being late, Rei refuses to let that happen to Yuma and forcefully dragged him through rather odd "shortcuts" to make it to school. Once they arrive at class, Rei loudly announced their arrival and introduced himself as the new student of the class.

Later, Rei overhears Yuma wishing to Duel pro-Duelist Daisuke Katagiri and took upon the task of getting Yuma a Duel by himself. Once Rei found Katagiri, he tried to make his request, but was shocked to find that he is brainwashed by the Barian World. Katagiri then Duels Rei in hopes to find where Yuma lives, but Rei refuses to give him any information and is brutally defeated. When Yuma arrived and Duels Katagiri, Rei watched and cheered for Yuma as he wins. After the duel, Rei quickly runs over to a tired Yuma to carry him to the infirmary on his back. Officially friends, Rei then carries off Yuma while running, oblivious to Yuma's screaming.[1].

When the class was electing a class president, Rei nominated Yuma, and when Yuma won, Rei voiced his congrats. During lunch, Rei learns of the Super Secret Number Cards Investigation Club from Yuma's friends and asked Bronk Stone for membership. They are interrupted by Caswell, who has been assigned "Special Disciplinary Commander", and are shocked when he starts to enforce rules upon the school. Later, Rei secretly watched Yuma Duel against Mamoru Jinguji by the gym pool with a concerned look. After Yuma wins, Rei accepted Caswell's apologies and is later seen with Yuma talking about relinquishing his position as class president to Caswell.[2].

After school one day, Rei was walking with Yuma and his friends when Chitaro Ariga asked Yuma to be his model for his manga, with Rei expressing excitement for Yuma. Later, Rei tagged along with Yuma and Tori Meadows to visit Rio Kastle at the hospital, bringing fruits and snacks for Rio, but Tori reminded him that Rio couldn't eat since she was unconscious at the time. They encountered Reginald Kastle and was shocked to hear that his sister was missing. When a Barian-brainwashed Chitaro appeared and challenged Shark to a Duel, Rei watched and cheered Shark on. As Shark was losing due to Chitaro threatening Rio, Rei goes along with Yuma to search for Chitaro's sketchbook in hopes to find his weakness. At school, Rei and Yuma found Chitaro's manga about his Duel and informed Shark over his Duel Gazer that it ends with Shark losing and Rio not being saved. As Yuma urged Shark to continue Dueling for his sister, Rei watched the rest of the Duel over Yuma's Duel Gazer and was happy Shark won in the end.[5]
