Shinji Weber

Shinji Weber is a Commons Turbo Duelist and a friend of Crow Hogan from New Domino City in the Synchro Dimension who bears a hatred against the Topsiders. Due to the circumstances of his harsh life as a Commons resident since a young age, Shinji has a deep hatred towards the current system of New Domino City and the Topsiders, who took everything from them and lived by them without any ounce of worry or reward. His hatred is further exacerbated by the takeover of the home that sheltered him due to debt, as well as constant humiliation and scorn from Topsiders, who viewed him and his cards as trash, inspiring him to change the system. Believing the Friendship Cup is nothing but a "show for Topsiders" he never hesitates in throwing as many derogatory comments as he can at them, while at the same time criticizing the Commons in the audience for acting submissive and tame as the Topsiders wanted. Despite this, he subsequently encouraged them to rise up, using his own Dueling as a demonstration of how the Commons can fight united and supporting each other and able to overthrow the current society. He demonstrated great charisma in being able to quickly win the favor of the entire audience, going as far as refer to his own Dueling as the Commons' Dueling united. Otherwise, in a more casual environment, Shinji is a rather friendly and sociable individual, bringing gifts to the kids under Crow's care, and even attending to others with care. He is also seen to be more than willing to give a helping hand to an outsider. His intense hatred towards the Topsiders can make him distrusting and suspicious about those who don't agree with his views even if they're friends. Shinji can be slightly hypocritical though. Note: As a universal rule, all conflicts are settled through Duels or something involving Duel Monsters Cards. As such, he rarely engages in direct physical combat.
