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.

 * [[Divergent Character Evolution]]: Initially they're an [[Omniscient Council of Vagueness]], with the collective goal of taking over KaibaCorp for unspecified, but undoubtedly sinister intentions. In the "Virtual Nightmare" arc, they're all given separate personalities, and objectives, and while they all share the goal of defeating Kaiba and escaping into the real world, their reasons for hating him are fleshed out, with them being gaining separate backstories and motivations. Ganzley and Johnson are just greedy, Crump resents Kaiba mocking his penguin obsession, Nesbitt's angry about his work being disposed of, and Lector's [[The Resenter]] par excellence.
