Line 7:
The [[Big Bad]] of the first arc, Pegasus is the enigmatic creator of Duel Monsters. He rarely appears before the public, some haven't even seen his face. Shortly after Yugi defeats Kaiba, he duels with Yugi, who then loses. Pegasus then seals his grandfather's soul and asks Yugi to come to his tournament, Duelist Kingdom. It is later revealed that he desires to take over Kaiba's company, Kaiba Corporation, and he needs to defeat Yugi in an official duel for that to happen. However, his real goal stretches beyond a mere company takeover...
He makes a reappearance in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]'', ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', ''The Pyramid of Light'' Movie and the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh Tenth Anniversary Movie]]''. He also appears in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction
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 30:
* [[Big OMG]]: When he discovers the Egyptian Gods' tablet, he shouts "JEEEESUS!" in the Japanese anime. Before that, he actually says "Oh my god!" when Shadi tells him he knows where to find the tablet with the Gods on it.
* [[Big "Shut Up!"]]: To Dark Bakura in the original anime.
{{quote|
'''Pegasus:''' SHUT UP! Shut your mouth! }}
* [[Big "What?"]]: On a few occasions.
Line 36:
* [[Brainwashed]]: By the Millennium Eye to create Duel Monsters, according to Takahashi.
* [[Bring My Red Jacket]]: His eye related injuries were not pretty. He also wears a [[White Shirt of Death|white shirt]] underneath his red suit. {{spoiler|He is killed at the end of Duelist Kingdom (only in the manga; he's kept alive by the anime), and he is actually killed temporarily in the Tenth Anniversary Movie.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Dropped a Bridge
* [[Camp Straight]]: As foppish and well-groomed as he is, he had a wife he loved deeply and is doing everything he does to try and see her again.
* [[Chekhov's Hobby]]: We see him gleefully reading a comic book of Funny Rabbit. We later find out that Pegasus' love for the series and cartoons inspired his nigh invulnerable Toon Deck.
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 67 ⟶ 65:
* [[Hidden Agenda Villain]]: In the manga. We first know he needs something from Yugi, no matter what. Later, we learn from Mokuba that Pegasus intends to take over Kaiba Corporation and must defeat Yugi in an official duel as part of his deal with the Big Five. We don't know why he needs Kaiba's company until the very end of Duelist Kingdom. The dub, and to a lesser extent the original anime, hints at Pegasus' real goal more clearly with giving more importance to Cyndia's portrait in episode 28 (in the manga, the group viewed it briefly, and that's it) and dub!Pegasus' [[Inner Monologue]] in episode 34 clearly reveals what he is fighting for.
* [[Homage]]: His Toon Monsters are this to American cartoons.
** Also, he prints cards for special events. [[Magic:
* [[Hypocrite]]: Calls out Keith for cheating, while he himself uses his Millennium Eye and position as creator of Duel Monsters to full advantage.
* [[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|
* [[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.
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: His desire to reunite with Cyndia leads him to do rather monstrous things.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Carries the air of one and has the tactical planning of one too, despite being ultimately a big cheater!
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Using his Millennium Eye, he often unnerves his opponents with his knowledge of their cards. Also happens when Kaiba tells him to duel him using his Duel Disk prototype, Pegasus gets a [[Soulless Shell|soulless Mokuba]] to duel Kaiba in his place. Kaiba, not wanting to fight against his own brother, goes on to duel Pegasus' way instead.
* [[Magitek]]: Thematically represents such as a contrast to Yugi and Kaiba's [[Magic Versus Science]] rivalry, lurking in a castle and stealing souls while heading a billion-dollar corporation that manufactures trading cards. More apt in the dub, which states in Episode 40 that Pegasus's plan to revive his wife was to combine the Millennium Items with Kaiba Corp's hologram technology.
Line 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 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}}.
* [[Shower Scene]]: In the novelization of the ''Pyramid of Light'' movie. While we don't see it in the actual movie, [[Fan Service|it is lovingly detailed in the novel]].
{{quote|
* [[Sissy Villain]]
* [[Slasher Smile]]: [http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6553/pegasusslashersmile.png In the anime only], during his duel with Yugi.
* {{spoiler|[[Spared
* [[Squick]]: (in-universe) How people react to his empty eye socket, namely Kaiba in ''The Pyramid of Light''.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: While he's quite smart and manipulates people rather well, he's described as physically weak in the ''Pyramid of Light'' novelization and he tells Kaiba he's not good at physical sports in the manga. He's also the contrast to Bandit Keith, who takes up the role of the big, strong guy.
Line 109:
* [[Start of Darkness]]: His backstory. The manga shows us he may have been quite naive... who then became the broken, twisted man we know from the series.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: His silly and childish exterior hides both insanity and sad desperation.
* [[Talking to
* {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]]}}: In the manga, according to [[Word of God]].
* [[Toon]]: His Toon World magic card transforms monsters into classic toons, complete with the ability to stretch out of the way of attacks. They include Toon Mermaid, Manga Ryu-Ran, Toon Summoned Skull, and the exceptionally powerful Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon.
Line 116:
* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]/[[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]: After Cyndia's death. His dull eyes can be seen better in the manga, whereas in the anime his eyes just look sad.
* [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty]]: Makes heavy use of his Millennium Eye to read the mind of his opponents, granting him a huge advantage in any duel. If that weren't enough, he makes ''two'' [[Game Breaker]] sets (his Toons and Relinquished/Thousand Eyes Restrict.) [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them|He can do that; he made the game after all]].
* [[Used to Be
* [[Verbal Tic]]: "Deeeesu!" "Maaaasu!" He also tends to tack a person's gender onto the end of their name. "M'kay, Yugi-boy?"
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: He and Cyndia met when they were children and became attracted to each other, then they got engaged (married in the dub). He doesn't get to cherish it for too long, however.
Line 129:
* [[Your Soul Is Mine]]
[[File:bakura6_jpg_w560h373_2285.jpg|frame]]
Line 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 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.
* [[The Collector]]: He's collecting the Millennium Items. God help you if you get in his way.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Thief King Bakura does not qualify, but the Spirit of The Ring is most certainly this when under the dark influence of Zorc's soul.
* [[The Corrupter]]: The Millennium Ring seems to have a pretty negative effect on whoever's holding it. See [[Artifact of Doom]], above.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrsdzQ1E0c0 Later on in the] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awv8pPgA7Qo English dub, at least].

* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: With Dark Marik, whom he attempts to take the Millennium Rod from.
* [[Face Death
* [[Fake Brit]]: In the dub.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]
Line 177 ⟶ 178:
* [[Hyde Plays Jekyll]]: All the time, to the point where it's really hard to tell who's in control at any given time.
* [[Incoming Ham]]: The way the Thief King Bakura introduces himself in the manga is [[Refuge in Audacity|so audacious,]] it can'[t be anything else then this.
{{quote|
* [[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
* [[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.
* [[
* [[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|
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Transforms into Zorc at the end of the Millennium World arc.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: You Inoue was Ryou's seiyuu before she died of lung cancer in 2003.
Line 194 ⟶ 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 200 ⟶ 202:
* [[Talking to Himself]]: As with Yugi across nearly all the dubs, but they really only talk to each other for several seconds in episode 13...in which this was ''averted'' in the Japanese version for the reason below.
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Thief King Bakura is used as a pawn by both Zorc and his own future self.
* [[Used to Be
* [[Villain Team-Up]]: With normal Marik.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Thief King Bakura in his shorts and wide-open robe.

* [[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).
[[File:Yami_Marik_8267.jpg|frame]]
The [[Big Bad]] of Seasons 2 and 3, he's a former Tombkeeper charged with protecting the Pharaoh's secrets and preserving his name. An ancient ritual traumatized him so much he created a [[Super-Powered Evil Side]], Dark Marik (who ultimately pulls a [[Split Personality Takeover]] an becomes the real [[Big Bad]]). From there, the story diverges depending on the version you watch. His evil side either killed his father and he blamed the Pharaoh and tried to kill him and lead a normal life, or his evil side [[Never Say "Die"|banished his father to the Shadow Realm]] and he decided to claim the Millennium Puzzle for himself in order to take over the world.
He uses a Fiend deck which focuses on summoning Winged Dragon of Ra and is meant to signify immortality. Many of his cards emulate torture devices; thanks to his ability to make the duel real, he tries to get the opponent to give up, pass out, or die from the extreme pain and injury before the game is even over.
Line 216 ⟶ 218:
Voiced by [[Tetsuya Iwanaga]] (Japanese); [[Jonathan Todd Ross]] (English)
* [[Absurdly High Stakes Game]]: Turns every match into one.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Dark Marik.
Line 222 ⟶ 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.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Dark Marik doesn't care who he has to duel, as long as he gets to torture them.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: To everyone.
Line 233 ⟶ 235:
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]
* [[Combat Sadomasochist]]: Inflicting pain or suffering from it, it's all the same to Dark Marik.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Dark Marik, who takes on a life of his own and just wants to torture and kill anyone he can [[For the Evulz]].
* [[Dark Is Evil]]
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]
Line 243 ⟶ 246:
* [[Evil Vegetarian]]: The official stats lists his favorite food as koshary, a vegetarian Egyptian dish, and least favorite food as any kind of meat dish.
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: Dark Marik has this with both the Spirit of the Millennium Ring, and normal Marik.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Dark Marik is usually smiling and happy about what he does - which is torture, murder, and destruction.
* [[For the Evulz]]: Dark Marik's motives. He wants to continue doing evil even after he's taken revenge on the pharaoh.
* [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes]]: Normal Marik's are narrow and snakey. Dark Marik's bulge constantly and are filled with red veins.
* [[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 255 ⟶ 259:
* [[Morality Chain]]: Rishid/Odion is this to him.
* [[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
* [[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
* [[Purple Eyes]]
* [[Sadistic Choice]]: Normal Marik sets it up so that Yugi can lose his Millennium Puzzle or kill Joey. Dark Marik frequently creates set ups like this, forcing Yami to sacrifice his own good half or watch Yugi fade out during their final duel.
* [[Sissy Villain]]: Normal Marik has some traits of this. Musclebound and psychopathic Dark Marik, does not.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Normal Marik. Dark Marik's too much of
* [[The Sociopath]]: Dark Marik
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Spanner in
* [[Split Personality]]: And how.
** [[Split Personality Takeover]]: Dark Marik successfully takes over their body following Odion's collapse, and exiles normal Marik from his mind. The poor bastard's left as a disembodied spirit, wandering the real world and the Shadowrealm until Dark Marik's defeat.
Line 276 ⟶ 280:
** Against Joey, when a monster is weakened or destroyed the controller feels the pain, Dark Marik is a [[Combat Sadomasochist]].
** Against Yami Yugi, when a duelist loses Life Points their alter-ego fades away bit by bit. Yami Yugi has to deal with the fact hurting Dark Marik will destroy the real Marik he wants to save, Dark Marik on the other hand gets to destroy both Yugis ''and'' get rid of his other self by paying Life Points until he's too weak to stay alive any longer.
* [[Used to Be
* [[Villain Team-Up]]: Between normal Marik and the Spirit of the Millennium Ring.
* [[Voice of the Legion]]: Dark Marik.
Line 282 ⟶ 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.

Line 317 ⟶ 321:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: His deckmaster is the Ritual Spell Shinato's Ark, and the first phase of his deck's strategy emulates the [[Great Flood]]. Hmmmm....
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Noah's design is nearly identical to Kaiba's design in Season 0.
* [[New Powers

[[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 346 ⟶ 350:
He uses an Orichalcos deck.
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[As Long
* [[Bad Boss]]: Usually limited to insulting his subordinates for their supposed incompetence and stupidity; however, he clearly has no problem feeding them to the Leviathan if they lose their duels and probably planned to do so all along. But what ''really'' gives him this trope is how he recruited them in the first place- {{spoiler|secretly sabotaging their lives, even killing their families, in order to make them hate the world as much as he does.}}
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Himself, and all of his minions, are controlled or influenced by the Orichalcos.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Everyone of his minions isn't [[Card-Carrying Villain|just another lunatic who share his ideas]], some of them even honestly believe that his intentions will lead to world peace...yet he plays them like any piece on a game-board.
* [[Complete Monster]]: While thoroughly influenced by the Leviathan, he was the cause of several of the world's tragedies, including the loss of his followers' loved ones. And he did it all with a sense of malevolent cruelty. Good lord, he got off ''way'' easier than he deserved.
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Although that you don't believe it, in the Japanese original version Dartz was voiced by a woman. Averted in the 4Kids English dub, which Dartz was voiced by [[Wayne Grayson]] who does a damn good job considering the company who dubs the show.

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
▲* [[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.
* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: His goal, or so he believes.
* [[Villain Sue]]: Unfortunately, yes.
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Even if his henchmen lose their duels, he still gets their souls, which feeds the Leviathan. The same goes for him, though that turned out a little differently.
* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: See [[SNK Boss]] above.

Siegfried is the main antagonist of the KC Grand Prix arc. Siegfried is the son of the owner of a company that develops weapons...like Kaiba. When his father died, Siegfried took over and retooled it as a gaming company...like Kaiba. Siegfried hit a huge breakthrough upon the development of holographic projectors for Duel Monsters...like Kaiba. That's where the parallels end, because Kaiba signed his business deal with Pegasus first, and Siegfried was left in ruins, his company falling into obscurity while Kaiba Corp became a huge megacorp. His main goal now is to discredit Kaiba Corporation.
He uses a Valkyrie deck, based on ''[[

The ancient enemy Yami Yugi defeated in the past and sealed away, and in the English dub is the creator of the Shadow Realm.
