Description
Pudding, known in Japanese as Purimpurin, is a creature from the creature world who appears as a recurring character in the anime Duel Masters Victory V. She is a princess-like being closely associated with the dragons Ryusei and Gaia, and her card forms include Eternal Pudding and Victory Pudding, the latter being a psychic creature used in duels. Her backstory was set in motion in the earlier season Duel Masters Victory, where she had been turned into a card and became the prize of a major tournament. She is the one whom the dragon known as Dragon Ryu had once allowed to escape into the human world, and much of his journey centered on finding her. After the mystery of her origins was revealed through Dragon Ryu's attendants, she helped the duelist Katta Kirifuda in a critical battle, and by the time of Victory V she is established as one of the creature-world characters living in the human world near Katta and his companions.
In personality, Pudding carries herself with a dignified, somewhat old-fashioned royal bearing. Her speech uses the aristocratic phrasing associated with a princess, and her card text shows her speaking warmly of the dragons Ryusei and Gaia as her beloved younger brothers. She declares that she cannot allow herself to be defeated for their sake and that she fights for a glorious future. These lines portray her as proud, affectionate toward those close to her, and resolute in battle.
Her motivations center on standing with her allies and securing victory alongside them, a trait reflected in the supportive nature of her abilities. In duels, when Victory Pudding enters the battle zone, she can select one opposing creature and prevent it from attacking or blocking until the start of her player's next turn, making her a strong defensive and control-oriented presence. Her most significant ability is the V Awakening Link, through which she combines with Victory Gaia Kaiser and Victory Ryusei Kaiser to transform into the powerful linked creature Gaia Overdragon, a formation used at decisive moments in battle.
Her most important relationship is with Dragon Ryu, the dragon who crossed into the human world in search of her. Their bond forms the emotional core of his story, and in the anime his ability to maintain a human form depends on Pudding's power. She is also closely tied to Ryusei and Gaia, whom she treats as younger brothers and with whom she shares her linked form. Additionally, she becomes a trusted companion to Katta, supporting him in duels and taking part in the daily life of the group around him.
Over the course of her appearances, Pudding develops from a mysterious tournament prize into an active member of the human-world cast. Once an object to be found, she becomes a character who lives alongside the main group and participates in their battles. Her presence links the creature world to the human characters, and her abilities make her a meaningful asset in the duels that unfold around her.
