Line 11:
He primarily uses a Toon Deck, although he keeps Relinquished and its support cards around as his trump cards on the off-chance his Toons are defeated.
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: He has blue eyes in the manga, but they are [[Brown Eyes|brown]] in the anime. His white pants were also colored red in the anime.
* [[Affably Evil]]: He may seem like a carefree gentleman until he gets serious.
Line 20:
** [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]
*** [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]]: He has shoulder length hair.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type II]]. All that he wanted was to be with his love, but he doesn't care for people who get in the way of his goal.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: In ''GX'', when he's fitted with the technology to paint Rainbow Dragon, he is given a black longcoat to wear with all the gadgets on.
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Thanks to the Millennium Eye, being an artifact capable of granting a wish, Pegasus does get to meet Cyndia again... but only for a fleeting moment, and it wasn't even the real
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't mock Pegasus' Toon Monsters and don't try to take them down. Moreover, don't speak of his past and his plan in front of him.
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: He appears to be playful and not taking his duels seriously, but he is a clever and dangerous opponent.
Line 52:
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Doubling as his [[Pet the Dog]] moment, in the anime when Jounouchi beats Keith, he reveals that Keith was cheating the entire duel, and congratulates Jounouchi on winning fairly while his guards haul Keith away.
* [[Evil Eye]]: The Millennium Eye.
* [[Evil Is Funny]]: During Duelist Kingdom. He may be amoral, but he's just so funny while he's doing it. Given that Yami Yugi and Kaiba are [[The Stoic|Stoic]] [[Straight Man|Straight Men]] in reponse, perhaps he just can't resist.▼
{{quote|"What, no 'hello', no 'how are you'? I thought we were friends, Kaiba-boy. Don't tell me that my kidnapping Mokuba and seizing control of your company has put a rift between us. It was nothing ''personal''." }}▼
* [[Evil Is Stylish]]: And how. He organizes an actual tournament just to have a cover for taking over Kaiba Corporation! All he needed to do is defeat Yugi in an official duel. Granted, we do not know if Pegasus could have taken over the company in a different manner.
* [[Eye Scream]]: When he receives the Millennium Eye, he is heard screaming while having shown a [[Shadow Discretion Shot]] of him. Happens again when Bakura steals the Eye {{spoiler|and kills him at the same time}} in the manga only.
* [[Fan Boy]]: Of American cartoons, particularly ''Funny Rabbit''. [[Geek|He also knows exactly how many episodes the series has and how many bullets were fired at the main character by Bulldog Police.]]<ref>
* [[Foil]]: His flair, smooth confidence [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulative ability]], and results contrast dramatically with the [[The Brute|brutally direct]] failures of [[Smug Snake|Bandit Keith]], the season's other main antagonist.
* [[Four Is Death]]: His four enforcers.
Line 71 ⟶ 69:
* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]/[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: In ''Reshef Of Destruction'', {{spoiler|Reshef worms itself into Pegasus' heart, who then asks the main character to have him sealed away before Reshef takes him over.}}
* [[I Gave My Word]]: Pegasus promises to release the souls of Kaiba and Mokuba if Yugi can defeat him. After he is defeated, Yugi tells him to fulfill his promise, which he does.
* [[Innocent Blue Eyes]]/[[Icy Blue Eyes]]: In the manga - he is fairly innocent and naive as a teenager (he wants to help a stranger in Egypt who got into trouble, who is in fact a
* [[Irony]]: When Pegasus also seals Kaiba's soul and looks at the two Soul Prison cards with Mokuba and Kaiba's souls in them, he mentions that the two brothers will never know the joy of restarting their relationship in this life. Then comes the end of Duelist Kingdom. where karma strikes back Pegasus - he fails to fulfill his dream of reuniting with Cyndia in his life. Upon learning about Pegasus' past, that particular quote becomes somewhat ironic, even.
* [[Kubrick Stare]]: In the anime, especially during his second duel with Yugi.
* [[Large Ham]]: In the original manga, anime, and dub versions.
▲* [[Laughably Evil
▲{{quote|"What, no 'hello', no 'how are you'? I thought we were friends, Kaiba-boy. Don't tell me that my kidnapping Mokuba and seizing control of your company has put a rift between us. It was nothing ''personal''." }}
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Illusion" in the Japanese anime.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: He made the game, and has a Millennium Eye, yet it's still hard to take him seriously. His duel with Kaiba and ''especially'' his second Shadowgame with Yugi establish just how dangerous this man is.
Line 85 ⟶ 84:
* [[Missing Mom]]: In the manga, his father can be briefly seen, but nothing is known about his mother.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Oh boy. Pegasus often changes between a cruel villain and a goofy gentleman, but his duel against Yugi is the best example. Even his deck is this Trope, shifting from the silly Toon Monsters to the bizarre and creepy Illusion Monsters. See [[Villainous Breakdown]] below.
* [[The Mourning After]]: He was willing to find a way to reunite with [[Victorious Childhood Friend]] Cyndia all his life... In the manga, {{spoiler|he goes to the grave with this wish in his heart.}} In the anime, the entire subject is dropped after Duelist Kingdom
* [[Mysterious Middle Initial]]: It has never been stated what the J. stands for.
* [[Necromantic]]
Line 97 ⟶ 96:
* [[Sarcastic Clapping]]: In the anime, when Kaiba finds Mokuba in the dungeon.
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Post-Duelist Kingdom in the anime, much to the horror to those who witness his empty eye socket.
* [[
* [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them]]: Pegasus makes free use of cards like Toon World, Relinquished, and Thousand-Eyes Restrict that were considered [[Game Breaker|too powerful]] to release to the general public.
* [[Sempai-Kohai]]: Pegasus is the sempai to Tenma Yakou and {{spoiler|Tenma Gekkou}}.
Line 130 ⟶ 129:
* [[Your Soul Is Mine]]
[[File:bakura6_jpg_w560h373_2285.jpg|frame]]
Line 139 ⟶ 138:
He is voiced by [[You Inoue]] and [[Rica Matsumoto]] (Japanese) and [[Ted Lewis]] (English).
* [[Accent Adaptation]]: He was given a British accent in the dub to reflect the real Bakura's polite speech patterns in Japanese.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: The Spirit of the Millennium Ring is an ancient spirit, just like Yami, and he's also the series longest running, and final (sort of), antagonist.
Line 149 ⟶ 148:
** [[Badass Long Robe]]: Thief King Bakura's long red robe is very badass.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: [[Nice Guy|Ryou Bakura is a genuinely nice, polite, sweet guy.]] His [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] is a sadistic psychopath.
* [[Big Bad]]: Though it doesn't become apparent until the final season, he's been working on his scheme the entire series, laying [[Xanatos Gambit
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Does an amazing impression of [[Nice Guy]] Bakura.
* [[Cannibalism Superpower]]: This is what makes Thief King Bakura's Ka, Diabound, so deadly
* [[Cast
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Many of his plans are set up some time in advance. Carries into his duels as well where he's a [[Manipulative Bastard]] who strings the opponent along while laying out an overarcing strategy to spring once he's got all his cards in place.
* [[Clingy MacGuffin]]: The Ring has been disposed of dozens of times. It always manages to make its way back to Bakura and possess him again.
Line 166 ⟶ 165:
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: At least when compared to his normal self.
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: With Dark Marik, whom he attempts to take the Millennium Rod from.
* [[Face Death with Dignity]]: Although not really death, as he comes back. But the Spirit Of The Ring’s only reaction before having Slifer The Sky Dragon strike him down was laughing wildly and gleefully. No fear of death here, people.
* [[Fake Brit]]: In the dub.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]
Line 181 ⟶ 180:
{{quote|'''Bakura:''' A King is robed in '''gold,''' isn't he? Then that must make '''me''' a king, too! '''A KING OF THIEVES! H-HA HA HA HA!'''}}
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Trapping Yugi's friends inside of their favourite cards was totally irrelevant to his plan to take the Millennium Puzzle. Jerk.
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: He banishes Pegasus' goons to the Graveyard, steals Pegasus' Millennium Eye (and kills him/leaves him in a coma), and later sends Bonz and his crew to the Shadow Realm. Evil, yes? Unecessary? Yes, especially Bonz. Done to [[Asshole Victim
* [[Killer Game Master]]: Both figuratively and literally.
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: The Spirit of the Ring has none for anybody, no matter what the fangirls tell you. This extends even to his past self, Thief King Bakura, whom he cheerfully sacrifices as part of his game against Yami.
* [[Large Ham]]: Goes in and out of this in the manga, [[Soft
* [[Larynx Dissonance]]: [[The Other Darrin|Both]] of his voice actors in the second series, [[You Inoue]] and [[Rica Matsumoto]], were female. Averted in English, where he's voiced by [[Ted Lewis]] and in the Latin-American dub, where he's voiced by Yamil Atala and José Gilberto Vilchis.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: He is a Game Master in every sense of the word, after all.
* [[Mysterious Past]]: We know jack about The Spirit of the Millennium Ring's past, up until Season 5.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Has shades of this towards Yugi, since he wants the Millennium Puzzle and thus won't allow other villains to take it. This is most prominent in the anime when he frees {{spoiler|Bandit Keith}} from Marik's mind control.
{{quote|"Whoever is an enemy of Mutou Yugi is an enemy of mine."}}
Line 197 ⟶ 196:
** [[Sins of Our Fathers]]: With Atem's father dead, he transfers his hate to Atem.
* [[The Sociopath]]: The Spirit of the Millennium Ring.
* [[Soft
* [[Soul Jar]]: The Millennium Ring is Thief King Bakura's soul jar; the Thief King himself is Zorc's. He's been shown to trap the souls of those he attacks inside of their favourite cards as well.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Type C. Crossed with [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]] ''and'' [[Hyde Plays Jekyll]] (he's an [[Axe Crazy]] ancient spirit impersonating a [[Nice Guy]] who happens to be a member of [[The Hero]]'s circle of friends).
Line 207 ⟶ 206:
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Thief King Bakura in his shorts and wide-open robe.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: He has white hair. He's a boy. And did we mention he's pretty?
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: The Spirit of the Millennium Ring sacrifices Thief King Bakura to resurrect Zorc. That's
* [[Your Soul Is Mine]]: Can trap souls inside of cards (though it doesn't work as well on those with Millennium Items).

Line 219 ⟶ 218:
Voiced by [[Tetsuya Iwanaga]] (Japanese); [[Jonathan Todd Ross]] (English)
* [[Absurdly High Stakes Game]]: Turns every match into one.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Dark Marik.
Line 225 ⟶ 224:
* [[Badass Biker]]: Normal Marik.
* [[Badass Cape]]: Dark Marik adds a cape to his wardrobe.
* [[Bad Boss]]: Pulls a [[You Have Failed Me...]] on the Rare Hunter, Arkana, Strings, and Lumis.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Normal Marik.
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Played with. Normal Marik is a [[Bishounen]] [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] who nevertheless schemes to [[Take Over the World]] and has no problems brainwashing people into doing his fighting for him. Dark Marik, however, is infinitely worse, being a [[Combat Sadomasochist]], [[Blood Knight]], and [[Omnicidal Maniac]] who gets his kicks out of torturing his victims. He's also far more twisted looking than normal Marik, with his muscular build, [[Voice of the Legion]], [[Tainted Veins]], [[Anime Hair]], bulging eyes, facial stretching, [[Off-Model]] bouts, and habit of sticking out his tongue during combat.
* [[Big Bad]]: Seasons 2 & 3
* [[Bishounen]]: Normal Marik. Dark Marik adds about thirty pounds in muscle even on his face, averting this.
Line 252 ⟶ 251:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]/[[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Once Battle City concludes, he has no problem being civil towards Yugi, who helped extinguish his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] once and for all.
* [[Jerkass]]: Normal Marik, though he gets better. Dark Marik takes it [[Up To Eleven]].
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: In the anime and especially the English dub. Duelist Kingdom was pretty light-hearted, with the only major Shadowgames all involving
* [[Large Ham]]: See [[Card-Carrying Villain]].
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Normal Marik's empathy is limited. Dark Marik's is none existant.
Line 261 ⟶ 260:
* [[Off-Model]]: Dark Marik is frequently off model. Throw in the facial stretching, and it makes him really gross.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Implied in the anime, and made explicit in the video game adaptations. Dark Marik's goal is to destroy everything on Earth but himself, plunging the world into shadow, and laughing over the remains in the dark.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Dark Marik often fuses himself with Ra by giving the god card his life points. The results are grotesque, with one of Marik's eyes and one of his hands remaining on the field, while the rest of
* [[People Puppets]]: His [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Mind Slaves]].
* [[Plot Armor]]: He ''should'' have lost his duels with Mai and Joey. What saved him with Mai was her run in with the [[Idiot Ball]], while Joey actually tried to make the winning move but collapsed from exhaustion and was disqualified. He's also on the good end of [[New Rules as the Plot Demands]], revealing new abilities of the Winged Dragon of Ra every time he duels, abilities that just so happen to let him win when otherwise Ra would be useless.
Line 287 ⟶ 286:
* [[You Killed My Father]]: His motivation in the manga and original dub; after his father was killed, Shadi appeared and said something which Marik assumed meant that the Pharaoh had murdered his father to punish him for leaving the tomb. He doesn't quite care for the fact that his family has been enslaved for three thousand years either.

* [[A God Am I]]: Noah's deck master Shinato is [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100119214325/yugioh/images/0/0f/Shinato%2CKingofaHigherPlaneDR1-EN-SR-UE.jpg a six-winged angel]{{Dead link}} with regal robes and a halo, and its Japanese name is actually "Shinato, King of Heaven." Noah merges with Shinato for a period of time, his face superimposing itself over its. Then there's the [[Faux Symbolism]] entry below.
* [[Bad Boss]]

[[File:Dartz14_9832.jpg|frame]]
Dartz is the former King of Atlantis and the head of the organization Paradius. His goal is to resurrect the Leviathan using the soul of Pharaoh {{spoiler|Atem}}, and millions of others he has gathered over his immortal lifetime.
10,000 years ago the mysterious substance called the Orichalcos rained down from the skies and allowed the city to make incredible technological advances, but also played on the darkness within their hearts. The people were turned into monsters and Dartz was brainwashed into believing all humanity was evil, and must be destroyed by being fed to the Great Leviathan.
Line 351 ⟶ 350:
He uses an Orichalcos deck.
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[As Long as There Is Evil]]: Dartz claims The Leviathan was born from humanity's hatred, so as long as humanity exists, so shall the Beast. However, the Pharoah says it was created by the Orichalchos.
Line 370 ⟶ 369:
* [[Gambit Roulette]]: Even with the constant revisions of his plans, {{spoiler|his own soul proved to be enough to revive the Leviathan, when Yugi manages to beat him.}}
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Nearly forced Yami Yugi to surrender, that's a accomplishment by itself.
* [[Humans Are
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Denied many people happiness with their loved ones, his spirit gets to have happiness with his loved ones. ''WHAT. THE. HELL?''
* [[Knight Templar]]: What he started out as before [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]].
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: As both the former king of Atlantis and owner of his own corporation, Doma.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: With a bit of magic on his side for good measure. So good he nearly talked the Pharoah into surrendering his soul. Bought out Kaiba Corp purely to goad Kaiba into dueling him. His M.O. for recruiting his henchmen {{spoiler|Raphaels' parents were killed by a storm he conjured; Alisters' brother and mom by tanks he sent in posing as Gozoburo Kaiba; and Valon was manipulated into a life of crime either by burning down his orphanage or framing him for his first crime, depending on sub or dub. Mai was preyed on after being traumatized by her duel with Marik.}} All were then given the Orichalcos to play on their inner darkness.
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: After being forced to kill his wife (who had been turned into a monster), Dartz was himself corrupted, turning his right eye green.
* [[More Than Mind Control]]: He uses it to control his subordinates. He himself is a victim of this by [[Bigger Bad|the Orichalcos]].
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Out to destroy the entirety of earth society.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Though physically in his twenties, or maybe early thirties (we're told he took the throne at 21), he is actually over 10,000, kept alive by the Orichalcos.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]/[[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections|Connections]]/[[Screw the Rules, I Make Them|Make Them]]: Dartz and his company have so much money, connections and influence that he can effectively control governments, making attempts to call the authorities against him useless. At best, they won't be allowed to do anything to him. At worst, they will be on his side.
* [[SNK Boss]]: Has the most broken dueling deck of any character in the regular series, period. He has three layers of the Seal of Orichalcos- the first, which all his main henchmen have, grants 500 extra points to all his monsters and gives him an extra 5 to play with, as well as meaning the loser will lose his soul. However, he also has Orichalcos Deuteros, which gives him 500 extra life points a turn for every monster he has on the field, which in his game with Kaiba and the Pharaoh meant he ended up with ''20,000'' at his peak, as well as letting him destroy any attacking enemy monster by sacrificing one of his own. Orichalcos Tritos, the third layer, cancels out any Magic or Trap cards used against him. After that there is Orichalcos Kyutora, a monster that absorbs any damage taken against his life points. When Kyotora gets destroyed, it becomes Orichalcos Shunoros, which has those absorbed points, which in his game with Kaiba and the Pharaoh meant ''20,000'' points and Shunoros has two arms that are always 300 points stronger than whatever they are attacking or defending against, respectively. And to top it all off if you defeat ''that'', it turns into Divine Serpent, which costs him all his life points and becomes the only card he is allowed to play, so that he auto-loses when it is destroyed. Good luck with that, though, because its attack points are '''[[Beyond the Impossible|infinite.]]'''
** Admittedly, it does have a major weakness. You have to finish your opponent quickly or you mill your own deck because you have to discard ten cards (out of a 40 card deck) each time you attack. While this should be easy, a couple of cards that negate damage or force the attack to hit a monster in defense mode can burn through the deck entirely.
* [[Ubermensch]]: He lives by his own rules, baby.
Line 388 ⟶ 387:
* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: See [[SNK Boss]] above.
[[File:sieg_4844.jpg|frame]]
Line 395 ⟶ 394:
He uses a Valkyrie deck, based on ''[[The Ring of the Nibelung|Der Ring Des Nibelungen]]'', and is loaded with cards that let him make extra draws, increase his life points, block his opponent's attacks, and remove his opponent's monsters from play. His trump cards are Ride of the Valkyries and Valkyrie Brunhilde.
* [[Always Someone Better]]: And it ticks him off.
* [[Camp]]: [[Up to Eleven|AND HOW.]]
Line 417 ⟶ 416:
* [[Unknown Rival]]: Though he suspects Siegfried is the one who's hacking his computer systems, Kaiba has to dig through his family history before he realizes who the guy really is. And even he doesn't take him seriously.
[[File:zork_667.jpg|frame]]
The ancient enemy Yami Yugi defeated in the past and sealed away, and in the English dub is the creator of the Shadow Realm. A great evil demon that seeks to destroy the world and cover it in darkness, he was unwittingly unleashed by the servants of Pharoah Atems' father when they destroyed a village to create the Millennium items.
Voiced by: Yoshitaka Kaidu (Japanese).
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: The Millennium Items
* [[Big Bad]]: Of the second anime series.
** And of the entire series, if we're going by the manga.
*** [[Bigger Bad]]: For most of the series, he is frequently but vaguely referred to only as a dark evil defeated by the Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt who destroyed that country and which the Pharaoh is prophesied to defeat again. However, it is not until the end of the last arc that we find out who and what he is, and its revealed/ confirmed that Bakura was working to release him all along.
* [[Complete Monster]]: He's the embodiment of evil, darkness, and death. Of course he's gonna be this! In the anime, we even see him incinerate two innocent children on the spot!
Line 433 ⟶ 432:
* [[Dark Is Evil]]: Red eyes, a dragon pe...I mean extra head and black wings, typical of an ancient demon.
* [[The End of the World as We Know It]]: His goal: to ''DESTROY THE WORLD''!
* [[Evil Only Has to Win Once]]: Inverted. To win, The Spirit of the Millennium Ring/Zorc actually recreates the events of Zorc's original attack in an elaborate Role Playing Shadow Game, trying to rewrite history so that he never lost in the first place.
* [[God of Evil]]: Technically an [[Eldritch Abomination]] created with the Millennium items, he's upgraded in the dub to the Ruler of the Shadow Realm, essentially [[Satan]].
* [[Large and In Charge]]: Undeniably the biggest villain, if one does not count the Leviathan.
* [[Made of Evil]]: Made of all the negative energy of humankind since the dawn of their creation.
* [[Playing with Fire]]: [[Calling Your Attacks|Zorc Inferno!]]
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: Double example. He's trapped inside the Spirit of the Millennium Ring who is in
