"Link Joker" (リンクジョーカー Rinku Jōkā) is a clan from the nation of Star Gate, introduced in Trial Deck 11: Star-vader Invasion, and the avatar of Void, the evil force attacking Planet Cray in seasons 2 and 3. The units in this clan (barring the Deletors and the Messiahs) feature black rings with red auras. They focus on locking your opponent's rear-guards, and gain benefits from doing so. Starting in Movie Booster 1: Neon Messiah, Link Joker focuses on deleting the opponent's vanguard as well. In Cardfight Vanguard G, the clan focuses on also locking their own units like the Яeverse units in order to gain power or to lock the opponent's units. They also gain skills to unlock either player's units to gain bonuses.
In the anime, Link Joker is responsible for Reverse, a phenomenon that causes Vanguard players to lose their soul and become possessed by Void. Reversed players, players affected by Void in this way, can reverse other players by beating them in a cardfight. Reversed players use either Link Joker decks or decks based around a Яeverse unit, a unit corrupted by Link Joker.
As the avatar of Void, Link Joker's original objective was to invade worlds and purge them of life. However, Blaster Blade Seeker has split the seed of the void and over time the clan has lost the will to invade and destroy, eventually becoming a regular clan.
In Season 3, this clan is primarily used by Toshiki Kai and the reversed Takuto Tatsunagi. Suiko Tatsunagi also uses Link Joker while reversed.
In Season 4, Aichi Sendou, Kourin Tatsunagi and Raul Cera use this clan in the anime.
Kouji Ibuki uses this clan in Cardfight!! Vanguard Movie: Neon Messiah, focusing on the Deletors sub-clan and in the G series he focuses on a regular Link Joker deck with some Messiah cards.
Backgrounds
Link Joker in Modern Times
"Link Joker", the invaders of the planet Cray, lost the war and failed to fulfill their objectives. Their directions have been divided into three.
The "Star-vaders" managed to escape from the planet despite their heavy casualties. They were not utterly eliminated, and some of their commanders remained unscathed. Hiding somewhere in the universe, the Star-vaders are probably preparing for another invasion.
For the "Deletors", who are bizzare beings lurking on the wandering star "Brandt", their number had been significantly reduced, but they are still wandering in the universe while preying on other lifeforms.
The Link Jokers left on the planet Cray would have faced their inevitable destruction. However, under the Messiahs' will of "Harmony and Regeneration", now, they would take actions as new lifeforms---

Trivia
- On the cards, the phrase "Link Joker" in the bottom-right corner is outlined in red unlike all other clans, similar to the "Яeverse" in each Reverse unit's name.
- This clan has the most number of unique races (5 races).
- The unit's locked by Link Joker units is shown similarly to the orbital of atom proposed by Ernest Rutherford, which is usually seen in logo of atoms.
- This is most probably the reason that the clan's units are named after elements of the Periodic Table, such as Star-vader, Francium and Homing Star-vader, Fermium.
- Some cards of Link Joker have runes in their Black Ring, which its meaning is currently unknown, similar to some Reverse units.
- This is the only clan that can make you win a fight with the effect of Star-vader, "Omega" Glendios.
Etymology
- The clan's name, Link (リンク Rinku) can also be read as "ring", referring to the signature appearance of the lock mechanic (two black rings orbiting the locked card).
- Many of the Link Joker units' names are taken from science, for example:
- Star-vader, Nebula Lord Dragon, Hollow Twin Blades, Binary Star, and Gamma Burst, Fenrir all refer to astronomy terms (nebula, binary star, and gamma-ray burst respectively).
- Some units are named after elements from the periodic table of elements.
- Some units are named after well-known scientists, such as Schrodinger's Lion and Schwarzschild Dragon.
- Some units are named after terms in mathematics, such as Imaginary Orthos and Negligible Hydra.
