Line 3:
[[File:Weevil_5495.jpg|frame]]
 
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).
Line 25:
* [[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.
Line 81:
* [[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]]: 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.
* [[Cool Shades]]/[[Sunglasses Atat 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.
* [[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 92:
* [[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|[[SchrodingerSchrödinger's Cast]]}}
* [[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:
* [[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 138:
* [[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.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Courtesy of Marik.
 
=== Pandora/Arkana ===
Line 157:
* [[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:
* [[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:
* [[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.
Line 291:
* [[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.
* [[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.
Line 342:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
** {{spoiler|[[HeelDeadly Face Door SlamChange-of-Heart]] - Dartz does this to him once he proves useless}}.
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]: They point ''out''.
* [[Knight Templar]]: A perfect counterpart to Yami Yugi, only more ruthless.
Line 404:
* [[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.
