Line 51:
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Kaiba, Yami Malik, Yami Bakura, and even Yami Yugi -- incidentally, almost all of them [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|wear leather pants]]. (It's surprising the Abridged song "Leather Pants" [[I Thought It Meant|has nothing to do with this]].)
** Kaiba is arguably the anime equivalent of Draco himself. Remember in the manga he was an ''antagonist'', him and Mokuba trying to kill Yugi and his friends several times. The manga also didn't have the anime's [[Filler Arc|Filler Arcs]], so whatever heroic tendencies he demonstrated in such are absent too. Besides his stint of being a villain, he's a supreme [[Jerkass]] at any turn. Yet he still became the [[Breakout Character]]. Being [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]] is a big factor in that, seeing as how [[Evil Is Cool]].
* [[Designated Villain]]: Dinosaur Ryuzaki/Rex Raptor. Most of the early villains were jerks who just happened to get Yugi involved to please their own ego, rather than the later villains who had much more elaborate plans. In the manga and the early episodes of the anime, while a bit of a jerk, Dinosaur Ryuzaki wasn't really a bad guy. The later episodes of the anime portrayed him as
** Vivian Wong in the KC Grand Prix filler arc is billed as one of its prominent antagonists along with Zigfried Von Schroeder and his brother Leon (the latter of whom isn't an actual villain), but she doesn't actually do anything all that antagonistic aside from acting like an annoying and cocky [[Loony Fan]], being a [[Stalker with a Crush]] on Yugi and Kaiba, and having one major [[Jerk Ass]] moment towards Grandpa. Her first "offense" is simply being careless and bumping into Rebecca by complete accident, though she's not apologetic for it and blames Rebecca instead. Afterwards she's given scorn and insults by Anzu and Rebecca for daring to flirt with Yugi, who very clearly has no interest in her, rendering her not a threat to any potential romance. Even her worst act is easily fixable and not taken all that seriously by the characters, making one wonder why they're expected to put any investment in rooting against her at all when she's pretty much a [[Joke Character]].
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Seto Kaiba.
** Interestingly enough, the same could be said of the card game, which was only meant to be featured in a single arc but got so popular they had to base the entire series around it. [[Sarcasm Mode|Yay]].
