Duel academy.

Duel Academy, known as Duel Academia in the Japanese version and sometimes referred to unofficially as Central Academy, is a dedicated school that trains Duelists to a Pro level, so they can ideally enter the Pro League. Seto Kaiba is a founder in addition to Kagemaru. Seto Kaiba owns the school. It is the main setting of most of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX series. It has four main subsidiaries: North Academy, South Academy, East Academy and West Academy. The school is located somewhere in southern Japan.

Shed:"As a former teacher at that esteemed establishment. We aren't allowed to sat the location of the Duel academy unless we have a great achievement at that school but I don't care it is on the outskirts of the Okinawa prefecture at exactly 26.240127,127.460307 it is kept up by a of the du-- oops almost spilt the beans on a subject we will delve on later in this year.

Main branch

Simply referred to as Duel Academy, this branch was owned and founded by Seto Kaiba in the dub (Seto Kaiba is a founder in addition to Kagemaru in the Japanese version, and Seto Kaiba owns the school.)[2][3] Seto Kaiba also designed the rank structure of the students. Seto also holds the highest position of authority over the academy and is involved with supervision and final decisions, while Kagemaru is his subordinate due to Seto having full ownership of the school. Seto is also given status reports on events in the academy, for example on the Society of Light and Chazz's victory against Slade.[3][4] Seto Kaiba once made a deal to give away Duel Academy for free if Chazz was defeated by Slade, saying that no duelist at the school he owns will lose. Upon learning of Chazz's victory, Seto isn't surprised and the deal isn't made. (He says the deal offer was actually a bluff from the start.)

Central Academy is located on an island with a dock for boats, a volcano, beach and a lake, cliffs and waterfalls. It has the Main Academy Building where the students go to learn how to Duel, with a gym building (separated from the main building) located beyond the beach. It has five dormitories: Slifer Red, Ra Yellow, two Obelisk Blue dorms (one for boys and one for girls) and one which is abandoned. It is also stated in episode 53 that the new school year starts in October, and that Duel Academy has a high school division and a middle school division. The Duel Academy logo has the same color scheme as the KaibaCorp building logo.

Dorm structure

The four Dorm Buildings that house the Students are separated into ranks, with the low-end Duelists in the Slifer Red Dorm, the middle-ground Duelists in the Ra Yellow Dorm, and the high-ranked Duelists in the Obelisk Blue Dorm. (Blue is the only Dorm shown to be separated into two buildings -- one for male students and one for female students.)

Student rankings

The dorms were separated into three groups based upon the 3 people who originally had the 3 Egyptian Gods in Seto Kaiba's Battle City tournament, instead of through which Egyptian God cards Kaiba thought of as the best to worst. However, instead of being separated from the people who won first to third place in his tournament, which were Yugi Muto/Yami Yugi, Marik Ishtar, and himself, respectively, it was in his perceptions of themselves. Obelisk Blue, being himself's, had the best luxuries. Ra Yellow, originally being Marik's, who was simply an obstacle for him to overcome despite having the best Egyptian God card, had better living conditions than Slifer Red, but not as good as Obelisk Blue. Slifer Red, being Yugi's, had the worst living conditions as he despised Yugi.

(Rankings from worst to best according to Kaiba)

Slifer Red (Osiris Red) is where the low-level Duelists are housed. It was named after the Egyptian God Card "Slifer the Sky Dragon" which was originally owned by Yugi Muto, whom Kaiba felt bitter towards because he lost to Yugi time and time again. The students of this dorm wear Red Jackets and used Red Duel Disks to match the colors of their Dorm. The main students in this dorm also tend to bear a similarity to Yugi: they are very determined and nearly always pull through, except for when they don't obviously.

Ra Yellow is where the average-level Duelists are housed. It was named after the Egyptian God Card "The Winged Dragon of Ra", which was originally owned by Marik Ishtar, whom Kaiba didn't care much for. The students of this dorm wear Yellow Jackets and used Yellow Duel Disks to match the colors of their Dorm. The featured students in this dorm are smart and cunning.

Obelisk Blue is named after the Egyptian God Card "Obelisk the Tormentor", which was originally owned by Kaiba himself and therefore chosen to house the most skilled Duelists. They wear Blue Jackets and used Blue Duel Disks to match their Dorm colors. The students here are mostly arrogant and look down on others, much like Kaiba himself.

Obelisk White was a temporary dorm that existed when the Society of Light invaded Duel Academy. Chancellor Sheppard allowed this dorm to become official, and the attire for those who "joined" them is similar to that of the Obelisk Blue uniform for males and females; the only difference is the alteration in colors from a royal blue and white design to a white and lavender design.
