Haga was the Champion of the Japanese National Tournament, who then was invited to Duelist Kingdom by Pegasus. Despite putting Yugi at a disadvantage, he loses his first match. He later turns up in Battle City, as well as the Doma arc.
As his name suggests, he uses an Insect deck. His trump cards are Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth and Insect Queen (which he lost to Jounouchi via the ante rules of Battle City, but he quickly gains another one).
-----
* [[Adaptational Heroism]]: He's still a complete jerk in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction]]'' but he's on the protagonists' side.
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: In the original version and manga, he knew about the field power bonus rule in Duelist Kingdom because Pegasus told him about it as a "special preview" for winning the Japanese championship. In the English dub, however, he's a thief who ''stole'' the secret, bragging about doing so.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Bugs.
* [[Big Creepy-Crawlies]]: The vast majority of his cards are big bugs.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: When Yugi first met Haga, he seemed like a ''very'' nice guy, nicer than Ryuzaki ironically enough. He was very polite overall, gave some advice to both Yugi and Jounouchi, and seemed pretty tame to the [[Genre Blind]]. Yugi liked and admired him right after meeting him, which was why he [[What an Idiot!|trusted the complete stranger with handling his grandfather's cards despite their not being water-proof and a large body of water being nearby.]] It was more noticeable in the Japanese version than in the English dub, in which he sounded unbelievably sarcastic the entire time. Now, of course, fans know [[Jerkass|what]] [[Smug Snake|he's]] [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|really like.]]
* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: In-universe. He had no idea, it seems, that Jonouchi might have a monster that Parasite Paraside was ineffective against. "What kind of Insect duelist are you?" asks Solomon, who clearly ''does'' know it.
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Joins Dartz to attempt revenge on Yugi.
* [[Determinator]]: Along with Ryuzaki, in the anime. Never gave up no matter how many times he got his ass kicked. [[Crazy Awesome|Biked off of a cliff to catch the rope ladder from Raphael's helicopter.]] [[Determinator|Just because he wanted a better chance at defeating the Pharaoh.]] Then, in the next tournament, [[Holy Shit Quotient|they both beat up a duelist, tied him up, stole his clothes,]] [[Totem Pole Trench|and stood on top of each other]] [[Holy Shit Quotient|just for another chance at fame.]] Yeah. They both qualify.
Line 16 ⟶ 19:
* [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]]
* [[Freaky Is Cool]]: ''Adores'' insects, spiders, and all things creepy-crawly.
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: His ace card is [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Insect_Queen Insect Queen], a horrific looking beast that looks like a [[Giant Spider]] with a monstrous woman's upper torso.
* [[Giggling Villain]]: [[Annoying Laugh|"Hyoi hyoi hyoi hyoi hyoi hyoi!"]]
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Gives one to Yami; it actually almost works.
* [[Informed Ability]] Supposedly, he was the Duel Monsters champion before Duelist Kingdom, although he's only won once on-camera, to Rex, and he tends to be humiliated ''a lot''.
* [[Jerkass]]: BIG TIME.
* [[Jerk Jock]]: For a guy who plays a card game, he is so clearly channeling this attitude.
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: His first big mistake was a move like this during his first duel with Yugi. He was playing conservatively and building a solid offensive line of monsters as Yugi was defending, but then he got a little full of himself and was a little too eager to attack Yugi's Dark Magician, and ran straight into Yugi's Mirror Force while doing so.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: His second battle with Yami.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Aside from his obvious dub name, his Japanese given name roughly means, "Moth Wings." Particularly fitting given what one of his trump cards is.
Line 25 ⟶ 31:
* [[Not So Different]]: Points out that Yami was as selfish and callous as he was when he unleashed the Seal and points out that technically Yami's worse since he knew he'd put his friend in danger, which even he didn't do.
* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]
* [[Smug Snake]]: His main attribute and, arguably, his [[Fatal Flaw|principal weakness]]. He really ''is'' a great duelist and strategist but he is very over-confident and tends to underestimate his opponents, leading to his inevitable [[Villainous Breakdown|downfall]].
** The only time he seemed to ''stop'' being so smug (at least at first) was against the Pharaoh during the Doma arc. He genuinely expected a big duel when he initiated it and spent about three-fourths of the duel utterly ''[[Curb Stomp Battle|stomping]]'' the Pharaoh. He didn't really start doing badly until his [[Fatal Flaw|smugness]] crept in again. Oh, and especially when the Pharaoh [[Unstoppable Rage|absolutely flipped out in response to his cruel joke]], and got help from [[Ass Pull|quite a few good draws]] in his final play.
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: With Rex.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: This guy falls for one of [[The Oldest Tricks in The Book]] during his duel with Jonouchi. ''Twice.'' And he does it while calling ''Jonouchi'' the "unskilled amateur".
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Every time he loses.
* [[Villains Want Mercy]]: And as Jonouchi tells him - before refusing to grant it - he ''really'' should have thought of that before cheating.
* [[Villainous Crush]]: Shows a few signs of having one on Anzu in the original Japanese version only. He attempts to flirt with her at the Battle City tournament, calling her "a cute lady." Her [[Squick|reaction]] was less than interested. He apparently had some hard feelings about that because later, in the Doma arc, he tells her that she looks terrible despite saying that she shouldn't feel proud "just because she's cute" an episode later. He apparently doesn't take well to rejection.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: In Battle City, he hired a kid to sabotage Joey's deck. When the kid demands his payment of a rare card, Weevil gives him a lame card. When the kid protests, Weevil sprays him with silly string and runs away (in the manga, it was ''a can of insecticide'').
Line 39 ⟶ 47:
As his name suggests, he uses a Dinosaur deck, though his trump cards are all Dragons: Serpent Night Dragon (which he lost to Espa Roba via the ante rules of Battle City), Red-Eyes Black Dragon (which he lost in a wager to Jonouchi), and Tyrant Dragon, which he gains in the Doma arc.
-----
* [[Adaptational Heroism]]: In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction]]'' much like Haga is.
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: He may have been a jerk in the manga, but at least he was helpful and doesn't team up with Haga. In the anime he does team up with Haga and is a straight antagonist in the Doma filler arc.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Dinosaurs
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Joins Dartz to attempt revenge on Jounouchi.
* [[Determinator]]: See Weevil/Haga's description for the trope.
* [[Dinosaurs Are Dragons]]: Actually, it's reversed--Dragons Are Dinosaurs. He's a dinosaur duelist, but his strongest monsters are Serpent Night Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Tyrant Dragon, as when the original anime was being made there were no high-powered Dinosaur cards and the type as a whole was very unsupported. This would be fixed several years later during the timeframe of ''GX's'' production, hence Tyranno Kenzan.
* [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs]]: We'll give him that; his cards are pretty cool,
* [[Informed Ability]]: Same deal as Weevil/Haga, but he has never won on-camera.
* [[Jerk Jock]]: Not to the same degree as Weevil, but he's still very smug about his abilities and treats weaker players like garbage.
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]] Combined with [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]. His bet against Jonouchi to take Time Wizard is what gave Jonouchi the idea to use the card against him, and win the duel. Later, Red Eyes proved Jonouchi's most useful card.
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: With Haga/Weevil.
Line 75 ⟶ 87:
He uses a Machine deck, which is later augmented with many rare cards by Marik. His trump cards are Metalzoa, Barrel Dragon, and Slot Machine; while under Marik's control Machine King and rare fiend Zera The Mant are added to his arsenal.
-----
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: In the manga Joey kicks his ass in a fistfight. In the anime, Keith hands Joey his rear end, and beats up Bonz, Zygor, and Sid all at once. He's even more awesome in the video games; in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction]]'', where he takes over the Rare Hunters/Ghouls after Marik's [[Heel–Face Turn]] and leads them in invading and occupying Domino City. When you duel him as a boss, he even summons the Winged Dragon of Ra against you! {{spoiler|Okay, he summons it stuck in Sphere Mode since he doesn't know the chant to unlock it, but it's the thought that counts.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Asshole Victim]]: In the manga, Pegaus' penalty game kills him. In the anime, Marik turns him into a mindslave. Either way, not very easy to pity.}}
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Blond and the biggest douche in the entire show.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In the anime Marik does this to him at one point.
* [[The Brute]]: And lord, how. He even beats up Yugi, of all people! Contrast to Pegasus, who takes up the role of the [[Squishy Wizard]].
* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]: Where to start...
* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]: He walks Bonz through his duel with Joey, so that he can see every card Joey has. He beats up Bonz, Sid, and Zygor and steals their Star Chips after Bonz's defeat, and traps Yugi, Joey, and co. in an underground labyrinth. He steals Joey's entry card to try and avoid their duel. He hides his set of "7 Completed" cards inside his wristbands during their match. And yet he still gets his ass kicked by Joey and unceremoniously expelled from the island by Pegasus when he tries to take the prize money by force.▼
** First off, he brings dozens of different decks to a tournament where the rules specifically state you can only have one. When called out on this, he states he isn't in it at all. (Meaning he was never invited, which makes Keith a trespasser in a tournament he isn't even in.) This is left out of the manga.
* [[Cool Shades]]/[[Sunglasses At Night]]/[[Sinister Shades]]: Keith always wears his shades, and they do a lot to enhance both the sense of menace and assholery that he gives off.▼
▲*
** This continues to when he's under Marik's control in the anime, using a mechanical device concealed in his loose sleeves to gain whatever card he wants when he draws.
▲* [[Cool Shades]]/[[Sunglasses
* [[Eagle Land]]: Type 2.
* [[Evil Laugh]]/[[Un Evil Laugh]]: [[Your Mileage May Vary]]. Keith's high, girly laugh isn't especially ''menacing'', but it ''does'' sound quite unhinged.
Line 88 ⟶ 103:
* [[Good Eyes, Evil Eyes]]: They're typically hidden by [[Sinister Shades]], but when we do see Keith's eyes they're small, narrow and veiny.
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: ''Twice'' in one episode:
** In his duel against Jounouchi, he ended up losing because he played the sword and shield card, causing his and Jounouchi's monsters to have their attack and defense points swapped. But because Joey had a trap card that allowed him to sent his Red-Eyes back one turn, it ended up with Kieth losing the duel.
** After he loses the duel, rather than just walk away, he informs everyone that Joey's entry card was not his own and that Joey should be disqualified. When asked [[Saying Too Much| how he could possibly know this]], Pegasus reveals that Kieth was the one who stole Joey's entry card in the first place. Depending on the version, this leads to Kieth either getting killed or being shot out into the ocean.
* [[Hypocrite]]:
** He regularly stresses that nobody's ever beaten him without cheating (referring, of course, to Pegasus), in spite of... well, being Bandit Keith.
** Also, in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]'' he calls Jonouchi out claiming that Capture Summon (a card that lets the user take an opponent's monster and summon it) is a broken card; even though his Pillager card is an even more broken version of the same effect.
* [[Informed Ability]]: He's known to be the American Champion (or Intercontinental Champion in the dub), making him the fictional equivalent of World Championship Qualifiers like [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2010-07-13/sean-montague-yu-gi-oh-card-game-us-world-championship-2010 Sean Montague] and [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2009-07-14/kris-ferber-from-albany-new-york-outduels-more-than-1200-yu-gi-oh-5d-trading-card-game-enthusiasts-to-win-konami-digital-entertainment-inc.s-united-states-2009-national-championship Kris Ferber]. He's never been shown winning on-screen, lost to Jonouchi, and seems to cheat rather frequently, putting his actual skill into question. That said, his actual deck and strategies seem to be very good by Duelist Kingdom's standards, and it's easy to imagine him beating most of the other competitors. He'd also been out of the tournament circuit for years and gone to some dark places, meaning his skills may have degraded.
* [[Jerkass]]: Other characters may be more ''evil'' than Keith, but no one--except maybe Gozaburo Kaiba--is a bigger asshole.
* [[Jerk Jock]]: Keith's what happens when the captain of the football team from every teen movie ever made turns twenty-six and decides to play Duel Monsters.
* [[Mexicans Love Speedy Gonzales]]: If this guy was supposed to mock Americans, they did a bad job; he's a rather popular villain among fans in the States.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Or at least to distrust.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Towards Pegasus.
* [[Russian Roulette]]: Played it in his depression over his loss to Pegasus.
* {{spoiler|[[
* [[Smug Snake]]: Lord yes. Keith thinks the world owes him something.
* [[Sore Loser]]: Does not take defeat well. "No one beats Bandit Keith!"
Line 124 ⟶ 147:
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Finishing Each Other's Sentences]]
* [[Knights and Knaves]]: Pull this when questioned on the way out of their dungeon.
* [[Rhymes on a Dime]]: Only in the dub.
* [[Tattooed Crook]]
Line 134 ⟶ 157:
* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]: In addition to loading his deck with three copies of Exodia, he also marks his cards in the dub (in the original, his cards are counterfeit). He still loses, and it's largely because his deck is so filled with Exodia pieces that he can't draw anything else.
** He cheats even worse in video games, not only using multiple copies of Exodia pieces, but multiple copies of Sangan, With of the Black Forest, and Graceful Charity, all of which are Limited on the in-game lists.
* [[Egomaniac Hunter]]: Displays this attitude towards card hunting.
* [[
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: When he can't use Exodia as a surprise, this guy is all talk. (In fact, Yami didn't have to "destroy" Exodia to win, seeing as he had Dust Tornado set; he just did it to teach the guy a lesson.) Yugi's entire dialogue during the duel is a "The Reason You Suck" Speech with a [[Paranoia Gambit]] built in that Seeker falls for hook line and sinker.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: He's gaunt, sallow, creepy-looking, and wears a black, scary robe. Clearly up to no-good.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Seems to think that simply having Exodia makes him invincible.
* [[Stone Wall]]: Stone Statue of the Aztecs and Gear Golem, which he uses to defend his Life Points while he searches for Exodia.
* [[Unsportsmanlike Gloating]]: It wasn't losing the duel and his best card that made Jonouchi upset. This guy had to ''beat him up'' before taking it. ''That'' was what crossed the line for Jonouchi and Yami.
* [[You Have Failed Me]]: Courtesy of Marik.▼
* [[Villain Has a Point]]: He's sadistic scum, yes, but he was well within his rights to tell Jonouchi not to help Yugi, as such an act is not permitted in a tournament, even using [[Real Life]] rules.
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: For the Battle City arc. He demonstrates how dogged and dangerous the Ghouls actually are in their pursuit of rare cards by beating the tar out of Jonouchi after he defeats him in a duel.
▲* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Courtesy of Marik.
=== Pandora/Arkana ===
Line 157 ⟶ 186:
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: Shows Yugi his face. Yugi is repulsed, we don't get to see it.
* [[Victim Falls For Rapist]]: His goal is to get Marik to brainwash Catherine into loving him again.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Courtesy of Marik.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Has no problem with sacrificing his monsters wily-nily, and has the gall to insult them.
Line 173 ⟶ 202:
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: They play dumb the first time they run into Yugi and Kaiba. The second time, not so much.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: In the Japanese version--Mask of Light and Mask of Darkness respectively.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Marik pulls it on Lumis (Umbra had already fallen off the building).
=== '''Rishid Ishtar (Odion Ishtar)''' ===
Line 215 ⟶ 244:
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: Twice. The first time is when they all possess Tristan's body, the second is when they sacrifice all of their Deck Masters to summon Five-Headed Dragon.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Lector. He's got dark skin, dark hair, and a six foot thick Southern accent in the dub.
* [[American Accents]]: Lector's a pretty straight up Dixie accent in the dub.
* [[Amoral Attorney]]: Ooka/Johnson. In the Japanese version he says outright he has no problem twisting the facts, and claims "the truth" is whatever tale he can spin for the court.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Lector.
* [[Bald of Evil]]: Ganzley in his real body, Lector as Jinzo.
* [[Beard of Evil]]: Lector.
* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]: During his duel with Joey, Johnson manipulates his luck based cards. Once Noah sees this, [[Johnson makes excuses|Dirty Coward]] which Noah gets bored with. Joey Goes on to defeat Johnson on his own now that Johnson was blocked from cheating.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: They betrayed Gozaburo to Kaiba, and Kaiba to Pegasus, before trapping him in a virtual world. After they themselves were trapped there, they join up with Noah, but have no problems flaunting his rules and going behind his back in their desperation to get out of there. Finally, they violate the terms of their duel with Yugi and Joey, refusing to return Tristan's body despite having promised to.
* [[Cool Mask]]: Ganzley as Deep Sea Fisherman. Lector wears one along with some [[Sinister Shades]] when he first appears; one could argue that the mask he wears as Jinzo counts too.
Line 248 ⟶ 278:
** [[Evil Genius]]: Ota/Nesbitt, robot engineer and weapons expert.
** [[Dark Chick]]: Otaki/Crump, the most sympathetic and absurd, being a penguin fanatic and all.
*[[Fixing the Game]]: Johnson Rigs Joey's luck based cards to get ahead. [[Noah|Hypocrite]] Caught Johnson and near disqualified him for cheating til Joey decides to continue the duel and Joey defeats Johnson through his guile now that Johnson couldn't cheat.
* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]: Lector's Injection Fairy Lilly. She's a small cute fairy with only 400/1500. However, by paying 2000 Life Points he can raise her attack to 3400 until the end of his turn, making her very hard to get rid of.
* [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]]: Johnson's real body, Lecter's Deck Master body.
Line 266 ⟶ 297:
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: Ganzley's deck.
* [[The Resenter]]: They all resent Kaiba for his control of the company, but Daimon/Lector is the most classic example, feeling control of the company should have come to him due to his status as Gozaburo's right-hand man.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In the English dub, "Lector" is named for Hannibal Lector, and in [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081213044448/yugioh/images/c/c1/JinzoYAP1-EN-UR-LE.png the Jinzo body]{{Dead link}} looks the part a bit.
* [[Sinister Silhouettes]]: In their initial appearances.
* [[Smug Snake]]: All of them. They range from very low-functioning (Crump and Nesbitt) to the far more high-functioning Ganzley and Lector. Johnson may be the most classic of them, with his condescending attitude, arrogance, and smarmy personality.
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: Their deck masters have this to varying degrees, most prominently [http://images.wikia.com/yugioh/images/2/23/DeepseaWarriorPSV-EN-C.jpg Deepsea Warrior]{{Dead link}} and [http://images.wikia.com/yugioh/images/2/2a/JinzoPSV-EN-ScR.jpg Jinzo]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Villain Ball]]: Oshita actually had Yugi beat, but decided to drag their duel out because he wanted to watch him squirm.
* [[Virtual Ghost]]
Line 283 ⟶ 314:
* [[Abusive Dad]]: To his ''three'' sons.
* [[Archnemesis Dad]]: Has reached this status with regards to Kaiba by the time of the Virtual World Arc.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: In the original manga, he was a [[Posthumous Character]] only seen in a [[Flashback]] scene. In the anime, he's more fleshed out.
* [[Badass Moustache]]: A little bit badass, mixed in with loads of ruthlessness, but the 'stash is undeniably badass.
* [[Big Bad]]: Of the Virtual World Filler arc.
Line 290 ⟶ 322:
* [[Death by Irony]]: He tries to pull this on Kaiba, intending to defeat him in duel monsters the same way Kaiba defeated him in chess. It didn't work out.
* [[Evil Mentor]]: His grooming of Kaiba to be his heir was intended to make him a vessel for Noah's mind. In the dub he comes to decide why bother, when Seto is just as smart and capable as Noah, while in the Japanese he decided to take Seto's body for himself when he died.
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: His arrogance and pride — he ''thinks'' he's always in control of the situation and has thought everything out so there's no way he can lose. Kaiba beats him this way twice, first by manipulating Mokuba into spending time with Gozaburo so Gozaburo thinks Mokuba will support his control of KaibaCorp over Kaiba; he thus allows Kaiba and the Big Five to buy up 49% of the company, ignorant to the idea that maybe Mokuba won't support him after all. Second, he believes Exodia Necross is completely invincible and will win him the duel to the point he never plays any other cards, never anticipating Kaiba might find a way to banish the Exodia parts in his graveyard and strip Exodia Necross of its powers.
* [[Filler Villain]]: Although he at least has a legitimate reason for showing up.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Exodia Necros seems invincible, but when Kaiba figures out its weakness, he tears both it and Gozaburo to shreds.
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: Tries it on Kaiba.
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]: His chops complete the trifecta that include his 'stash and his 'brows.
* [[It's Personal]]: With Kaiba.
* [[Jerkass]]: BIG. FUCKING. TIME.
* [[Knight Templar Parent]]: About the nicest way to interpret his personality is that he's so harsh and strict to temper Noah and Seto into strong, capable businessmen worthy of taking over Kaiba Corp. This is pre-death though; by the time of the Virtual World he tells Noah [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]], and doesn't care much about Kaiba anymore either.
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: He's an [[Abusive Dad]] who considers his biological son expendable, and later returns to try and trap Kaiba and his allies in the Virtual World. He tells Kaiba that you can trust no one, including him, neglects Mokuba, abandoned Noah before using him for his own ends, and generally doesn't care about anyone beyond himself and his own legacy. He's not as over the top about it as the Spirit of the Millennium Ring and Dark Marik, but yeah--there's no empathy there.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]/[[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: The dub included foreshadowing of his appearance, most notably that Noah acts all along as if he knows Gozaburo is watching. In the original though his arrival is completely unexpected and Noah is shocked to see him, thinking he was dead like everyone else.
* [[Not Me This Time]]: Done in hindsight, oddly enough. Amelda believes he had orchestrated a war profiting enterprise to make money, which resulted in the deaths of Amelda's parents. While Seto was quite willing to believe this, it wasn't true. The "Gozaburo" that Amelda had seen involved in it was Dartz in disguise.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]
* [[Offing the Offspring]]: His objective by the time of the Virtual World arc.
Line 308 ⟶ 342:
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Social Darwinist]]
* [[Spared by the Adaptation]]: Sort of. In the original manga, he is [[Driven to Suicide]] after losing his company to Seto. In the anime, he doesn't perish until much later in the Virtual Nightmare arc.
* [[Taking You with Me]]: Tries it on the cast at the end, when he attacks their blimp.
* [[Villain Ball]]: When he learns that the virtual world is set to be destroyed, he decides to take Kaiba's body by force and escape, but Kaiba convinces him to back off and finish the duel, since he was so intent on proving himself superior.
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: When alive, his public image was that of a charitable philanthropist, which was only a PR façade.
* [[Virtual Ghost]]
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Pulls it on Noah.
Line 342 ⟶ 378:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
** {{spoiler|[[
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]: They point ''out''.
* [[Knight Templar]]: A perfect counterpart to Yami Yugi, only more ruthless.
Line 404 ⟶ 440:
* [[Smug Super]]: What the dub makes him out to be.
* [[Start of Darkness]]: See [[Street Urchin]]
* [[Street Urchin]]: {{spoiler|After his home at the church was burnt down by Dartz}} he pretty much lived on the streets until he joined Dartz.
* [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty]]: His Psychic Armor Head has an AI that analyzes his opponent's cards and gives him advice.
* [[Yandere]]: For Mai, claiming that she's the only one who can understand him. He gets better, though.
