Is the character truly undefeated? Of course, this is the entire purpose of being crowned the Duel King, but the series also shows him being fired from multiple jobs in the span of a day.
Another thing that Jack seems to be bad at is knowing how to manage his own money. Being a good duelist means he gets paid quite a bit to entertain others. Apparently, the other thing Jack knows how to do besides duel is actually fighting. In one episode, Jack fights an entire group of Duel Runner thieves and comes out on top without any help. This feels weird at first, but it makes sense in hindsight because Jack actually grew up on the streets. He retains the belt and boots that he wears out of his Turbo suit, and also wears a white helmet with a green visor and a purple peak.
Jack's personality is similar to his 5D's version ; he is a confident and powerful Duelist who believes his own power can overcome his enemies. He can be boastful and arrogant in this regard, successfully predicting how the Duel would play out before his Turbo Duel against Yuya Sakaki.
Jack said that Yuya would be overwhelmed by his power. According to Sam , Jack's apparent arrogance is a product of his time he spent among the Topsiders citizens, but Chojiro Tokumatsu later theorized that Jack's somewhat annoyed demeanor is due to other Duelists not being powerful enough to test his own limits; when Yuya Sakaki finally did so by maximizing Pendulum-Synchro in Jack's eyes; Jack was ecstatic.
Similar to his 5D's counterpart, Jack is generally more malicious in the dub than in the Japanese, but he retains his instructive side. Jack also sees himself as an Dueltainer , but his philosophy on this is quite different from Yuya's, who uses flashy presentation and tricks.
He believes strength in Dueling itself is used to entertain the crowd and views Yuya's Dueltaining as self-satisfaction only. He maintains a high level of honor while Dueling, saving Sergey's life when he was about to fall off the course the first time and attempting to do so the second and last time. Jack is also very perceptive; he was able to guess Riley's backstory rather accurately, as well as deduce that Declan had a purpose of his own.
Like his 5D's counterpart, Jack believes that Duels are a clash of souls, and he shares a strong bond with his ace monster, "Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend", calling it a symbol of his Dueling and his soul. His bond with his ace is so strong that he consistently prevents it from being destroyed as seen in his Duel with Sergey.
However, he is greatly disapproves of Yuya's Dueltaining philosophy as merely an imitation of his father's and urges him to make his own Dueling instead. In the dub, Jack collects his beliefs under the ideal of the "gift of grit", believing that one who has the grit will be a strong Duelist.
As a Turbo Duelist, he is very powerful enough to become the first Duel King from the Commons and gaining access to the Topsiders , despite his area of birth. A young Jack finds " Tuning Magician ". Jack was born in the Commons area of New Domino City and was an orphan.
This card inspired Jack, and he wished to return the card from where it came from. The only way to do that was to become stronger. On one occasion outside an event, Jack met Sam , a Commons child working for the Topsiders, who explained that he was a fan of Jack. Jack gave him the "Tuning Magician" card, claiming that it was the most suitable for him. Sam interpreted this as calling him worthless due to the low Level and ATK value that the card possessed.
Jack became an idol and hero to many young children in the Commons, including Yugo and Rin. This motivated them to train hard so they could face off against him one day. Jack during his Turbo Duel against Yuya. Jack entered the arena after Yuya did and before the Action - Turbo Duel started, he told the public how the Duel would unfold.
Jack won the first corner against the novice Turbo Duelist Yuya as he predicted and proceeded to summon " Red Wyvern ". Jack told Yuya that his way of entertaining was wrong because it was self-satisfaction, proceeded to Synchro Summon " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " on his next turn and used its effect to destroy all Yuya's monsters and attack him directly with it. Jack later watched the opening proceedings for the first day of the Friendship Cup. After the first day of the Cup ended, Jack was invited to dinner by the High Council , who also had Declan and Riley as guests.
Gael asked if he agreed that Zuzu Boyle was the most impressive Duelist out of the first day, with Jack responding that she seemed as if she was trying to reach someone with her Duels.
Jack pointed out that Riley was supposed to Duel as well, with Declan apologizing for the replacement. Jack revealed he had been looking forward to Riley's Duel, saying that he himself had once had the same haunted expression in his eyes.
Jack went on to explain his past and how he found the " Tuning Magician " card, which inspired him. Jack told Riley that if he had a goal to accomplish, he must not falter. During the second day of the first round, Jack continued to watch the Duels, and when Yuya informed the crowd of the fate of the losers in the Friendship Cup, Jack criticized him, noting that Yuya expected the crowd to listen to him despite not having proven that he was a winner.
He has a strong pride as a Duelist, as seen when he got deeply upset when he found out that Rex Goodwin had made Dragan lose on purpose to Jack in the past, to the point of grabbing Lazar angrily and shouting at Leo. In the dub, his personality is quite a bit more malicious and his redemption and change of personality is lessened considerably, compared to his original Japanese counterpart; he framed his former friend Rally with the Duel Runner chip, for example, when in the original, Rally stole it himself and Jack is completely uninvolved and oblivious.
He also remains quite mean, harsh and arrogant after his meeting with Carly, versus his greatly softened original counterpart who seems much more like a man who actually makes attempts to redeem himself.
Kazuki Takahashi has also spelled the name "Jack Atlas". Jack, being the reincarnation of the Legendary Signer, possesses the power of Blazing Soul, which he used to seal the Crimson Devil into a card, creating his newest ace monster, "Red Nova Dragon". He has only been shown to perform Blazing Soul with the help of the Mark of Dragon in all of his Duels, minus his final Duel with Yusei.
Jack's parents were killed during the Zero Reverse incident and he grew up in Satellite. As a child, Jack was a lone wolf and never played with the other children. Later, he met Yusei Fudo and Crow Hogan and became one of their best friends. He was raised by Martha. After conquering all of Satellites zones, Kalin changed, taking Dueling so seriously that he forced a kid into a Duel and proceeded to beat him up after winning.
Unhappy with Kalin's attitude, Jack and Crow left the team. After learning that Kalin was on the run from Sector Security, Yusei approached Jack to ask him to help.
The reunited gang caught up with Kalin in an abandoned storage building. They told him that he had changed and tried to get him to abort the battle with Security.
After Yusei stopped Kalin from attacking a badly beaten Security, Crow and Jack held Kalin in a room while Yusei tried to convince Security that he, himself, was the leader, in the hopes Kalin wouldn't be arrested. He was unsuccessful and Kalin was ultimately captured, ending the team.
Jack came into possession of the card "Red Dragon Archfiend". Jack Dueled and defeated Yusei, after which he told Yusei that one cannot win a Duel with Monster, Spell or Trap Cards alone, only with them joined up.
He pointed to his heart as he said, "All you need to amass yourself in victory is right here. Jack eventually fell out with Yusei after a difference in goals.

He pointed to his heart as he said, "All you need to amass yourself in victory is right here. Jack eventually fell out with Yusei after a difference in goals. Jack aspired to be a King and spent a lot of his time sitting in a throne in an abandoned theater.
He spent little time with his friends, although Rally occasionally visited. Jack once saved Rally from a group of bullies, but didn't stick around to converse. Inside the theater, he met Lazar , who came on behalf of Rex Goodwin. Accepting Lazar 's offer, Jack tied Rally up and left him in a boat floating in the sea. He alerted Yusei, who came there on the Duel Runner he had built. Jack forced Yusei to choose between himself and Rally's life in order to get what he was after.
He then made his way into New Domino through the trash pipeline. At an unspecified time, the Duel Runner Jack took breaks down. Jack's Duel Runner , the Phoenix Whirlwind. Jack then became the Turbo Dueling Champion and moved into the compound of Rex Goodwin , who tried to conceal Jack's origins from the public.
As the King of Duelists, he was adored by the New Domino City public and his fame has been marketed, even to the point where both he and his "Red Dragon Archfiend" card have their own action figures. Also, at an unspecified time Jack faced Bolt Tanner in a Turbo Duel and defeated him on his first turn. Two years later, when Yusei ventured off into New Domino City to take back his " Stardust Dragon " card, he and Jack had a rematch, but it was interrupted by the appearance of a mysterious red-colored dragon, later revealed to be the Crimson Dragon.
He later learned from Goodwin that he is a "Signer" , a savior predicted to prevent the resurrection of a dark god by a Pre-Incan civilization. Although conflicted about maintaining his title even though he technically lost to Yusei, Jack complied with Goodwin's plans in the hope of truly validating his title by finally defeating Yusei in the Fortune Cup and gave "Stardust Dragon" back to Yusei as a sign of competition.
Before their Duel commenced, Jack recounted the events that happened two years ago that lead ultimately to the road of him becoming King. Also, now that he was finally facing Yusei, he told Goodwin to let Rally and the others go since, there is no further need for them to being held hostage. Before their Turbo Duel started, Yusei saw them on the screen, and once they were free, Jack said that there was nothing holding them back.
During the Duel, Jack refused to let Yusei win, revealing that in order for him walk to the path of becoming the King, two years ago he gave up everything by turning his back on Satellite and on everyone else he knew. Thus, thinking that all of that happened because of the dragon birthmark, he believed now that Yusei has the chance to become King without giving up anything.
Jack did not want that to happen. The Crimson Dragon appears. Jack told Yusei to continue since, it's their Duel that is responsible for them being there. He pushed Yusei, thinking that he will finally win. Jack unleashed his devastating combo, however Yusei has already foreseen this, and managed to counter. Jack was thrown from his Duel Runner and was badly injured. Yusei was announced as the new king and Jack was carried out on a stretcher after Jack gave some words of wisdom to Yusei.
Jack was transferred to Domino Hospital to recover away from the prying eyes of the public. Carly Carmine snuck into the hospital, disguised as a nurse in an attempt to interview him.
Trudge , now under the Dark Signers ' control, suddenly came and challenged Jack. Jack's arm was broken at the time, so he asked Carly to assist him in the Duel and hold his cards.
Jack and Carly managed to defeat Trudge, blowing up a portion of the hospital in the process. Before Jack fainted, he asked Carly to get him out without notifying the reporters outside. Carly snuck him out on a gurney as a body with a sheet over it. Carly disguises Jack to avoid media attention. Jack woke up in Carly's place after envisioning a meeting with the Dark Signers in a dream. Carly went into Jack's room only to find the man gone. She then followed him to the monorail where he was attempting to get on the train to leave.
In the end, Carly convinced him to come to an amusement park with her with the intention of having him relax so she could interview him. She changed her mind however after hearing how hurt he was over losing the title of King to Yusei Fudo.
After spending some time with Carly, Jack started to show signs of guilt for betraying his friends and shame for how he let Goodwin use him. Carly suggested that the real Jack Atlas was returning and that the old Jack was the real one defeated by Yusei. She suggested that it was fine for him to become a real King now in the dub, she suggested that Jack should say sorry to his friends, mainly Yusei. Jack put on his jacket and agreed with her, after which he vowed to never let himself get used by people again.
Jack responded to a call at Carly's apartment from Mina Simington and flies back to Satellite. Here he watched the Duel between Yusei and Kalin. Yusei got impaled in the course of the fight and is taken away by Crow to receive medical attention.
Jack demanded the helicopter be landed, but Mina tells him that he had nowhere to go without his Duel Runner. After returning to the city, he and Mina told Carly she had best not get involved and Jack broke her camera's memory chip to hide the conflict between the Signers and the Dark Signers.
After Jack's Duel Runner was repaired by Goodwin, he told Mina that he would go to Satellite and make his own "road" rather than "Road of the King" he had previously been on. After the Arcadia Movement headquarters were damaged by a Dark Signer attack, Jack evaded the flaming geoglyphs as they form. He made his way to the building, unaware that Carly is the Dark Signer responsible.
They told Jack that Akiza was inside and may need help. Jack entered the building to look for her and found Carly's broken glasses inside. He found Akiza unconscious and took her out of the building, unable to find Carly in time. Jack immediately took Akiza to the hospital to get help for her, thinking Carly had been sacrificed to the " Earthbound Immortals ". Akiza was in a comatose state and is visited by her parents Hideo and Setsuko. Jack told them that Yusei may be able to help her, which he does in the end.
He also says that the Signers still have a lot to learn about each other, and the only way they met each other was through Yusei. Jack, along with the other Signers, were invited by Rex Goodwin to his house to learn more about the Signers and Dark Signers. He was told that the Signers are drawn together and guided by faith. After learning about the Dark Signer's powers, Jack believed Carly to be among their victims, who were sacrificed when the two "Earthbound Immortals" were Summoned.
Seeing how much Yusei was afraid of Kalin, and that he has lost confidence after his last encounter, Jack punched Yusei in the hopes that a fight would cause Yusei to regain his determination. Yusei thanked Jack and accepted that they must fight the Dark Signers to protect people.
Hearing this, Jack remembered that he must protect Carly. In Satellite they meet up with Martha , who was happy to see Jack back after many years. The reunion was cut short as Yusei found out that Rally , Crow and the others have disappeared. Mina became greatly upset over Jack's feeling for Carly after seeing him with her glasses while he was saying that he was fighting for people. During supper, Roman appeared in order to Duel. Jack wanted to Duel him but is stopped by Yusei, who tells him that its too dangerous to Duel a Dark Signer here.
Following Yusei's instructions, Jack took Martha and the kids to safer place. John , Mitch , and Taka snuck away to watch the Duel and to help Yusei however they could. After Jack realized Carly is one of them, he chased after her and asked why is she one of them.
Carly responded, "If you want to know the answer, come to see me". The Signers split up to face their respective opponents at the four control units for the Original Ener-D Reactor. Jack and Carly ruling as Dark Signers in Carly's vision. During their Duel, Carly used the card " Enlightenment ", causing Jack to see an alternate future in which he lost his Duel against Carly and died. Carly kissed him, reviving him as a Dark Signer in the dub, he gets infected by the spreading darkness , and together they defeated the Signers.
They turned the world into a Hell, in which they ruled as King and Queen. During the course of the vision, Carly's glasses slipped from Jack's coat, causing him to remember Carly as she normally was and snap out of the vision.
Jack told Carly that that wasn't the fate she truly wanted and activated his Trap Card while showing her her glasses.
