Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: To fight back against Academia, the Resistance had to battle them the same way they do and it does work.The Xyz arc reveals that while they haven't been completely destroyed they are undeniably on their last legs before Yuya, Gongenzaka, Sawtari and Shun arrive. Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: The Academia believes that Resistance has been defeated with Shun and Yuto being the only surviving members.The Xyz arc reveals the Academia is mostly correct with the Resistance barely holding on.

Yuto and Kurosaki get ticked whenever they are referred to this, as they believe that eventually, they will take back their homes and friends. The Remnant: Academia considers anyone from the Xyz dimension to be this and make it a point to hunt them down.Red Is Heroic: All of its members have wear a red scarf somewhere on their bodies.Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: The Resistance fighters don't have any formal uniforms aside from rather militaristic tattered clothing,the only article they have in common is a red scarf.Playing Card Motifs: The duel schools, Spade and Clover are mentioned.He Who Fights Monsters: The Resistance members are gotten more and more desperate and violent in their determination to defeat the Academia as the war has dragged on.First-Name Basis: They all call Kurosaki by his first name.Color-Coded Characters: Yuto, Kurosaki, Kaito, and Ruri all wear prominently black or dark purple outfits, the color of Xyz monsters.Cardboard Box Home: Their base is made up of a hundred or so tents camped in the same area.Big Good: Downplated, next to the Lancers and the Standard Dimension trying to oppose Academia, the Resistance is this as well but lack the strength to truly help.Can you really blame them? Kurosaki in particular is so filled with hate that he started attacking those associated with LDS in the Standard Dimension, not thinking of the consequences that could arise (bringing unneeded attention to themselves, innocent people who know nothing about the war sealed away, etc.) Even Yuto carries a grudge towards them, despite his pacifistic nature. Arch-Enemy: The Resistance hates anyone associated with Academia.

The once bright city of Heartland has now been reduced to a dying wasteland.

A majority of the citizens have been sealed away and there aren't that many left. Apocalypse How: Class 1, Civilization Disruption.They are based off of the fourth Yu-Gi-Oh! series, with Heartland being their setting and their main summoning method being Xyz. Only time will tell if their efforts against their enemies will pay off, though according to Sora, these duelists are fighting a losing battle. Somehow, duelists of the Resistance were able to procure the same technology as their enemies and can now inflict real damage on their opponents and seal them away into cards. The Xyz dimension was originally a peaceful place to live in before they were attacked without warning. The remaining Xyz duelists who haven't been captured by Academia they are the last remnants of a world that's gone to hell due to dimensional invaders.
